Original Title: It’s not just the writing of early Simpsons seasons that is superior. It’s the entire LOOK of the show. Something about cel animation & traditional ink & paint added an aesthetic difference that looks and feels far superior
I’m not against computerized animation. It can look amazing. But it’s sad EVERYTHING has made that switch over the years and that there’s no place for the cel animated ink and paint style.
Shit I even wonder if there’s a way for computers to mimic that look.
It really benefited the Simpsons. The look was warmer. Homer looked better. Even going off model. Now everything appears homogenized and stiff.
