>Is calarts dead?
No the school is still around and kicking. Also the right side has plenty of CalArts alumni.

Not until California gets nuked

All examples of corporate minimalism, Primal hides it the best though.

Pretending to be retarded.

If Calarts taught students to sell cans would they be better?

>Pretending to be retarded.
How was that retarded? The CalArts meme always amounted to "style I don't like".

What is this image supposed to convey? Amphibia and the owl house are the same kind of thing, nothing you want to imitate if you want to make things that are good. It's sad that people actually study them in calarts and other schools. And Primal is by an actual Master animator which has great work, people need to stop putting it on the stunted preschool table

Frogshit and Mao Mao were obviously calarts

" Style" is a pretentious word for this primitive garbage. Shows like amphibia and the Owl House are all animated the same, you see the same poses and the same expressions. If you are lucky you see something custom. There is no distinctive signature of a skilled artist, which is the best definition of a style

>Primal hides it the best though.
Because it's not corporate minimalism, that's just Genndy's art style.

I hate labels, I'm going to kickstart a campaign to remove labels from everything

Nope, it was a descriptor for corporate minimalism. Calarts was only unuseful because one side never engages in good faith, namely corporate shills.

Even cans

Nice revision of history. The term was coined by John K to describe people who were trying hard to imitate Disney, specifically the Renaissance.

>EAT THE FUCKING FAAAACE!
eleven years for that

>Nope, it was a descriptor for corporate minimalism
You could apply that to almost fucking anything though, like all Hanna-Barbera cartoons looking the same

Yeah not sure how you can shit on shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe for their art but give Amphibia a pass.

We're moving from beanmouth to ball head

Which, in his mind, was an example of corporate minimalism (see his posts about shapes vs forms and the colors of anime).
The term was rebranded as the in house style of Cartoon Network changed to lean into corporate minimalism further and the rest of the industry followed suit, ironically stemming from a tool he shilled to high heaven, Flash.
But go ahead, tell me I don’t know the history, sycophant.

Agreed. Television Hanna-Barbera cartoons also had this stylistic problem. I’d say Filmation was even worse than what we have today. Unlike John K. I’m not going to play defense for crap he’s nostaligic for. Our revival era was 1989-2004 (or so).

>you're a corporate shill if you don't agree with me!
Also why would corporate shills encourage the use of CalArts as a pejorative when many people in the industry graduated from the industry.

>Our revival era was 1989-2004 (or so).
It really fucking wasn't. Corporate minimalism killed 90s animation and lead to the dark age of the 2000s.

You’re incredibly backwards.
The corporate shills are the ones who pretend like they don’t know what people mean when they say “calarts style” and make it about the institution, or John K. or anything other than corporate minimalism.
Same people who refuse to respond when you call tweening “flash animation” because UM ACTUALLY SWEATY IT’S DONE IN TOON BOOM, CHECKMATE

This again?

Why would a Carl Arts animator do plastic surgery?

>phoneposting
We can see your apostrophes

See? Anything other than the content of the criticism. ANYTHING.
