I think this is drawing on the vibe from animation styles where the artist draws several of the same frame, and minor imperfections are seen across each. (Dr. Katz etc seem to similarly be trying to mimic this.) A good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53s5uln_bw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53s5uln_bw4
The question though is why does this look so appealing? I guess it's probably because in general we see motion as a proxy for if something is alive, since things that are alive are never completely still.
- CharlesW 6y ago> (Dr. Katz etc seem to similarly be trying to mimic this.) Fun fact: Tom Snyder (of Dr. Katz fame) invented and patented the technique, called "Squigglevision". "Squigglevision is a patented method of computer animation in which the outlines of shapes are made to wiggle and undulate, emulating the effect of sketchily hand-drawn animation. Tom Snyder of Tom Snyder Productions invented the technique, which his animation studio Soup2Nuts subsequently used in Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, Dick and Paula Celebrity Special, Home Movies, O'Grady, and Science Court." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squigglevision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squigglevision

- jbay808 6y agoNow I understand the "baba is you" aesthetic! It makes me feel that the things on the screen are not only alive, but also a little bit restless.
