Simpler cartooning styles like classical Disney/Warner are actually some of the weakest ones in AI models right now. Prompted diffusion models are poorly suited to the task and tend to capture excess detail in the contour, because they don't have a mechanism for calculating out the geometry of a constructed form, so they don't arrive at the same clarity and simplicity. What the model can do best is to convert a basic contour sketch into an elaborate rendering, which means that it's the top end of the market that was doing those renderings that's most at risk.
