Marge has a dead-eyed stare and doesn’t emote at ~0:30 given the software limitations. The animators said they can’t do any wacky stuff anymore because the software freaks out if they do anything like the old school animation smears, e.g. https://ca.pinterest.com/pin/476677941782317699/
The Simpsons one is telling. Just look at how Bart moves at the very beginning, the reaction to the bell going off. The OG bart is more “animated” (full of motion) than the rest, especially the modern version, even if it is more sloppy. Yet, that sloppiness was part of the charm of Simpsons. That’s what made them feel like toons.
Yea the modern version has “depth” with the 3D effects but everything looks so stiff.
Agreed. Hell, look at how they massively toned down the toonishness in The Simpsons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQcSAM7APYU
