Many of the cliches about other movie industries were actually imported from early Hollywood. The large eyes in most anime is what happened when the Japanese adopted the style from the early Disney movies. Early Bollywood movie style was just imported from early Hollywood musicals - musicals were much more common in the 1930s. Now all the industries have diverged over time, and they look very quirky when compared to each other. But the common source of all these styles is Hollywood itself.
- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoI'm not familiar with who stole what from who and I generally don't care. But all these cultures have taken whatever it is and made it their own. Big eyed stuff is now synonymous with Japan. People breaking out in dance is a Bollywood trope. Some of this stuff circles back around eventually. I'm only pointing out they are also pandering to their own fan bases and it can be just as formulaic as Hollywood. No need to put things on a pedestal.
