Changes in Style
Using the example of superhero-like cartoons:
• designs tend to be sleeker, more streamlined and stylistic or abstract
• older shows tended to look more realistic or proportional
•Looks cool, but in some cases also cuts down costs
•Shows often remade with updated fashions, culture, etc.
•Marketed toward a “cooler”, young teenage group
•Characters look (and often are) younger
