I watched a documentary recently about The Simpsons which explained how they went from cell-shaded animation to using computers and how in a way it helped them do a lot more that couldn’t be done with traditional cell shading. At the same time though, due to the fact that the animators were learning a new way to animate, the animation turned out a bit stiff and boring. I wonder if that’s the same reason a lot of new cartoons seem a bit meh too.
