ChatGPT 4o's new image gen is insane. Here's what Severance would look like in 8 famous animation styles 🧵
1/8:
Rankin/Bass – That nostalgic stop-motion look like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Cozy and janky.
2/8:
Don Bluth – Lavish hand-drawn fantasy. Lush lighting, expressive eyes, dramatic weight.
3/8:
Fleischer Studios – 1930s rubber-hose style, like Betty Boop and Popeye. Surreal, bouncy, jazz-age energy.
4/8:
Pixar – Clean, subtle facial animation, warm lighting, and impeccable shot composition.
5/8:
Toei Animation (Classic Era) – Foundation of mainstream anime. Big eyes, clean lines, iconic nostalgia.
6/8:
Cow and Chicken / Cartoon Network Gross-Out – Elastic, grotesque, hyper-exaggerated. Ugly-cute characters, zoom-ins on feet and meat, lowbrow chaos.
7/8:
Max Fleischer’s Superman – Retro-futurist noir from the '40s, bold shadows and heroic lighting.
8/8:
Sylvain Chomet – French surrealist like The Triplets of Belleville. Slender, elongated, moody weirdness.
And these are just the styles that came to mind. Just imagine how many other variations exist.
