How come the 90's and early 2000 shows had such great designs and animation when in comparison to the 2010-current CN shows? What the fuck is happening right now?

One word.MONEY

Well, not "great", but more like "copying the classics which were great". More modern shows tend to come up with designs from scratch. Hence the noodle arms and super primitive faces.
Also, you should watch some GOOD modern cartoons. Perhaps you missed at lot.
TMS became way too expensive to hire anymore.
American animation of this generation has always been mediocre at best. Japan consistently kicks our ass at this stuff and society doesn't care to do anything about it.

You do realize it was more than just TMS that did Tiny Toons right?
>>82966735
What the fuck does that even mean?
Plus, what other good modern shows? Like I understand some of the cool shit like Camp Lazlo and Sym Biotic Titan.
>>82967046
Of course he does.

The only Korean studios to even try in this day of age are Moi & Mir and those 2 fail badly anyway.
>>82967046
Yes, but they had things the others lacked.

Current shows seems to be more experimental. 90s cartoons were more formulaic and played off older franchises. Tiny Toons, Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin, Ducktales, and several others were based directly off older cartoons and so drew a lot of popularity based entirely on that fact.
Also, they were frequently animated fairly poorly. Go back and watch a number of them, and you'll notice. Heck, Animaniacs is still great, but it's animation tended to vary A LOT. The best part of the show were the musicals, the educations parts, and the humor... not the animation or necessarily the design.

Tom said it best.
>Kids WB was handed Pokémon for free and it pulled down big numbers -- so then they wanted everything for free.

they know they can literally draw shit and still market it because
>muh expressionalism. It's abstract art used to express some metaphor I made up so no-one can criticize my art.

No, just being cheap.
Even Korra was cheaper then the first Avatar.
jews.
it's always jews.
especially in media.
Honestly, it was probably south park showing you could make an absolutely dogshit looking show that depended on the writing and people would absoluteluly love it that was the biggest game changer.
Seriously, after south park hit it big was when all the shows started looking pretty bad. And I love south park.

YFW "Doing it for free." was wat literally killed decent animation in the west..

Computers got smaller and more user friendly.

At lease we got SJ out of it.

>SJ
I don't follow, that could literally be anything
Superjail?
Computer animation got cheaper and people not caring about how shitty and soulless it looks
>>82966808
It's a shame we won't ever get to see Western animation done by TMS again. Actually, is the TMS of today even anything like the TMS of back then anymore?
>>82987511
Probably not.
