I just saw the trailer and thought it looked good.
Pixar has conditioned us to only value a certain kind of 3D animation that is very round and lanky, similar to Popeye. It’s animation that exists to make things as easy as possible for the animators. Same thing with the calarts bean face. They don’t care about creativity or art. They only care about making money as reliably and easily as possible.
I always think about Metal Gear Solid when considering true top-tier 3D art. Actually, first-party Sony games in general tend to have the best 3D art out there.
Pixar animation is computationally intensive, but artistically it has way more in common with the 3D videos for babies that show up in youtube feeds if you’re not logged in.
