It is a meme that movies have all settled on using a blue/teal and orange color palette nowadays, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. There is one prominent movie in the middle which is almost entirely orange and blue, which I believe to be Aladdin[1], but other than that and a couple around it, the color palettes seem pretty similar, although much darker, more saturated and perhaps somewhat choppier. This could be because they are animated films and thus don't need to create contrast with human skin tones, which are somewhere on the orangeish spectrum (according to TVTropes discussion of this phenomenon)[2].

- bryang 13y agoInteresting points you bring up.... I've never consciously noticed a general color palette trend but it is interesting to look at this sample and see how Disney has many similarities across film periods. I'm definitely keeping an eye open for Blue/Teal/Orange now

- hammock 13y agoThe orange and blue thing really applies to live action film which gets color graded in post production. Not so much animated movies.
- GauntletWizard 13y agoIt also applies to videogames, which while not live, attempt to be 'realistic'.
