    I think it’s a joke? Or bait?

    All of these characters, old and new, look like the below faces when drawn in a happy-go-lucky pose. OP went and found distraught/mischievous/disgusted frames of old characters and displayed them opposite concept art-style sketches of modern characters’ happy-go-lucky poses.

        Yeah the CalArt style did get a bit overdone, but I see little qualitative difference with any other decade’s popular cartoon style. Ultimately I like it, it’s heavily stylized and evocative of a time.
