70s " New technology and sharing of methods are giving us new ways to make and explore the stories we want to craft."
80s " its a bit gritty but were going for a bit of realism in our art, also throwing things in there to keep parents there to watch with their kids, still exploring our creativity."
90s " We want to bring a sense of wackyness to our art while keeping it in a high standard, focusing more time into story that can be enjoyed and relatable to most people"
10s' " We want to emulate old styles but have no clue what they are and our ability to make stories in creative ways has been ham stringed by corporate overlords that want us to crank crap out as fast as possible while trying to hit some preconceived butter zone of viewing pleasure that leads us to become largely unoriginal and approach our cartoons like COD "
Animation was straitjacketed by business and politics for a long time. If we're getting a decent cartoon every now and then it's because some creator managed to stand up and convince the suits that his vision was not just artistically appealing but also economically viable and that's just one element of making it work.

It will never stop bothering me that these kinds of images always use that same image from the Gravity Falls Pilot instead of the actual show, that and the use of Phineas and Ferb at all since it visually has absolutely has nothing in common with the art styles of other 2010s. That and the fact that the show began 3 years before the turn of the decade anyway, and the characters were designed way back in the 90s. There's really nothing that ties them together.
Blake Wright
Why do these graphisc always skip the 00's
Julian Bailey
>and then classic cartoon animation died in the 00's
I mean, for a body straight out of the grave, 10's doesn't look so bad.

You're a moron who knows literally nothing about any of the eras pictured and you need to stop posting. I have better shit to do than give you a crash course on the history of modern animation so I'm just going to resort to telling you to shut up. Read a fucking book.
Carson Rodriguez
>have better shit to do than give you a crash course on the history of modern animation Not OP, but I'd be really interested in this kind of stuff. It's Saturday, are you sure you don't have the time. You could tell and screen cap for the next time someone start a thread like htis.

Phineas and Ferb isn't a 2010s show though; while there were some character design tweaks because of the change in animation techniques, the look of the main characters were still pretty much the same in 2007 as it was when they were created back in 1993/1994.

00s was the time of stylized and blocky characters made popular by the Genndy/Tartakovsky toons. It was also the time of John K inspired extreme reactions and gross out humor.
Angel Hill
See you in 10 years where you'll do the exact same post,cursing the 2020 and glorifying the 2010s,nostalgia tards

>70s " New technology and sharing of methods are giving us new ways to make and explore the stories we want to craft." in what parallel universe did that lunatic shit ever happened?
Grayson Russell
The 2000s skipped over tv animation.
Parker Rogers
>2000's left out >2010 uses the most retarded looking sample possible >Descriptions neglect that 80's animation was dominated by the toy commercial and 70's was literally just the most sterilized shit possible

Everything you said is false
Leo Sanchez
Not him, but please point out where the 2000's are and where in the description is the toy commercial aspect mentioned?
Oliver Lopez
there was still thousands of animated series in production in the 2000's
Jason King
We know. It's a comment over how the OP's pic skip over the 2000

70s- Hanna Barbera rules the TV cartoon space, even if its not HB TV cartoons are vastly limited because few people are willing to put real money into TV animation.
80s- An era where most TV animation was made to sell toys ergo most cartoons had a more realistic Aesthetic. Most artists are more clasically trained too, so most art had a lot of basis in somewhat realistic designs. There was some rooms for creativity depending on the cartoon and how they wanted sell it.
90s " Shitty toy commercials fell out of favor, so a lot of networks where just looking for shit that got people to watch. This result in the best diversity in TV cartoons that will probably ever exist. The diversity of styles is further heightened when studios found out the could import anime wholesale for cheap.
00s- A bizarre period that was painted by a various influences. Some of the most shit cartoon live here, never finding its own voice but it also holds a fair bit of gems for those who look.
10s'= Artists who no longer classically trained churn out mostly easy doodle characters that are easy to recognize, easy for Koreans to draw, and also fairly easy to convert to merchandise. A popular trait is introducing "lore" to a cartoon, but due to its mostly episodic nature it never really pays off like Anime counterparts. This decade is probably the first decade where cartoons made to be sold to children gain massive adult audiences.
>This decade is probably the first decade where cartoons made to be sold to children gain massive adult audiences. That was actually the 60s weirdly enough, both Peanuts and the Smurfs had massive adult audiences at the time. It was only focused on a couple of shows and not even 1 millionth as autistic as today, but it was there.

No, you're not. Plants don't count.
