This Tumblr User “Normalizes” Cartoon Characters And Now People Can’t Decide Which Is Better

I prefer the smaller eyes

I prefer the edited one. More beautiful and sweeter. When comparing, the original looks like a monster T_T

She looks almost the same

I prefer the Disney examples in pretty much every case. They have much more artistic power and expressiveness to them. While its weird they only used cgi examples... I do not see that anyone who has read Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas' book on the mechanics of animation would think that the less expressive version was elastic enough to work. If you look aroiund a museum like the Guggenheim or the MOMA you will see the importance of exaggeration and distortion in making art. Even live action and stage actors use makeup to exaggerate certain features. And this impatient need for realism just smacks of the censorship of official state art of totalitarianism (Stalinist socialist realism, famously). But even if you do not view it on that political level, just compare how pathetic and weak the more realistic animation by Hanna Barbera or Filmation looks compared to more expressive choices used by Disney. The Disney style is much more in the style of modern art and caricature.

Second one

So pretty.

Would still tap

Haha. It’s so good! Great job

Was her body enlarged as well?

Normal one

The edits are way better. The big eyes and big foreheads are, just weird.

She looks like a barbie face...

Number 2

this one looks a lot better than the original

So sexy in the edited version!????

Once you see the more 'normal' versions (they're still an exaggeration) the exaggerated eyes and tiny noses look strange. I much prefer the edits.

Being edited makes Elsa more mature.

Interesting... again I prefer the original one.

Number 1

She looks much prettier in the edited version. I like it much better.

Like this very much! Looks more like a "human". I think we need more realistic shapes in our society. Especially for our children!

Edited version looks a little like Emma Thompson. Looks better

If they were all edited to look 'normal' all of the films would look the same, which is why they are stylized.

Still looks cross-eyed to me .....

I really dislike this one.

Normalized is really better

The edited version is definitely much better. It's even the prettiest version in my opinion.

I like the original better on this one.

She has now smaller face and the rest of the body I think does not match

Her chubby cheeks made her character cool don't take them away

Love the edited version

Side by side, Susan looks like an Alien herself...

believable

The edited version looks like my ex, so no comment.

omg i love this movie!

the edited version of colette is prettier

Snape, is that you?

SHE LOOKS SOOOOOO UGLY ONVE YOU SEE THE EDITED VERSION😱😱

Edited; she looks…like a _human_, y'know?

The big eyes on the unedited versions, now you see them look a bit grotesque. Perhaps children subconsciously react better to large facial features since tose were the first they recognized.

After. I don't get why they need such large creepy eyes.

Nope. Original is so much better.

Before.

Edited is much better.
