Okay, let's talk about what exactly IS the so-called "CalArts style".
I believe that it all depends on what breed of graduates are populating the animation industry today, each with a distinctive style.
>In the 1970s-1980s, it was the style perpetuated by Disney's animated features at the time, which makes sense, since Disney animators taught there. John Lasseter, Tim Burton, and Brad Bird came from that group.
>The 1990s brought more angular designs to characters. Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken came from this group.
>Today, we have oversimplified character designs, usually with circular head shapes and minimal body details, and an increased attention to backdrops and storytelling. Pendleton Ward, Alex Hirsch, and Daron Nefcy came from this group.
Fuck art colleges. Seriously.
Fucked me over promising me to help me find a career.
At least all of my loans are taken cared of now.

Not directed to you specifically OP, but I think a lot of this is more than just the college, and it's a bit ridiculous to assume they were behind it.
I think that considering a lot of these artists were friends going into the industry (like Ward and Hirsch), as well as the overwhelming success from shows like Adventure Time and Gravity Falls, it's more likely the change of style came from that.
