IMO, the new WB character designs are, at first blush, awful. And while I don't think people should ever get, say, death threats over a drawing (I'm not suggesting that she has, incidentally), the sheer fact that she seems to have anticipated only universal approval and acclaim for her efforts earns her everything negative comment she gets.
I mean, I get that there's a kind of chibification of the characters going on which is both intentional and meant to better resonate with the target audience. But isn't that why Tiny Toons was created in the first place (rather than going the Flintstone Kids route)? To allow Warners to create a new animated product without damaging the original characters?
It's funny that Disney seems to be bringing a more mature edge back to Mickey at the same moment that Warners is about to pitch their characters younger. Hopefully this won't massively backfire.
