Is anyone besides me afraid of certain art/animation styles?

[indagold]

generic anime/manga, not real good anime/manga, just generic ones produced by random people who want to be the big mangakakaka they look up to. I see it all over comic sites and it's painful. I rarely ever follow manga comics because of this... most seem really uninspired and lazy.

Bad 3D. It's everywhere, so much so people think amateur 3D artists are just the norm. There's this trend with horrifying CG bimbos I see everywhere. Their lips look like gummy candy, clothes clipping into their flesh and their bodies made of Plasticine.

Characters with no noses and large mouths that take up the face. I've been seeing some SU/anime inspired artists take this approach and it is... horrifying.

While I love Disney films like The Little Mermaid and Beauty And The Beast etc. the original Disney crew creep me out. Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Pluto, Donald Duck, Goofy, all of them. Creepy. I could never go to Disney Land.

For some reason the cinematics in the old game Dark Earth scared the CRAP out of me when I was young and still kind of creep me out -

(Beware: Violence!)

Though it wasn't even the violence that was scary to me, it was their FACES. Just....WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THEIR FACES?! Their overall movements are pretty disturbing, too.

So. I have one. Have any of you ever seen that show Almost Naked Animals? I saw it once. And the animals on it are so... like.. I don't even know. They're bald, but hairy and they have nipples and belly buttons and tan lines.. And I can't handle that show.

Man, I had a lot of those as a kid. And yet somehow I still kept watching them! I know everyone admires Ren & Stimpy for its animation/inventiveness, and as much as I respect it, I could never watch the damn thing. It was just too gross. I also had a thing about CatDog, there was this one ep about teeth that just drove me up the wall. Though, even cartoons I did like had a super-disturbing episode here and there.

As a kid I watched a lot of Russian cartoons and pretty much anything involving claymation/puppets was scaring me. They were just so....ugly. I just couldn't It's not until Chicken Run that I found out claymation doesn't have to be ugly and weird as hell.

[Houndstooth]

there's a film called something like The Fantastic Planet with a really weird animation and art style, about big blue aliens. I physically cannot look at it without feeling incredibly nauseous... aside from that, I have a phobia of this like...particular kind of 3D animated floating orb kinda deal, it terrifies me.

Other than that i get easily squicked out by american gross-out cartoons like CN's golden age shows, those painted detailed close ups (a la spongebob) and any kind of art involving brains or eyestalks.

anything don bluth-style man. god it creeps me out something else

[wander_creature]

Aaaannd if I wasn't afraid of animation before, I am now. That's terrifying.

[69Michi]

Realistic style done wrong. Or realistic cartoon style in general. It's neither realistic nor it's cartoon, the style gives me the creep.

[Zanreo]

Not really "afraid" but I can't stand super detailed "gross-out" shots some cartoons do, they always just make me cringe in disgust. Which... I guess is kind of the point? Never was into "grossout" humor.

[BobbyjoeX]

The Yellow Submarine and its mixing of mediums kinda rubs me wrong, that and the creatures in it freaked me out as a kid

but i am getting curious to actually sit down and watch it

(never actually watched the movie, just commercial and the figure set terrified me as a kid, now its just creepy)

i think once your able to get over it's abstract art style it's a pretty enjoyable watch. I remember watching it on vhs with family as a little kid and even though the monsters were kind of creepy I thought it was pretty cool overall. If anything I think it's odd mixing of style was it's greatest selling point, aside from it featuring music by the Beatles, and was probably perfect having originally come out in i think the late 60s or 70s?

I think that like others have mentioned uncanny valley is the most unsettling. Then there's stuff like G-man from half life, and I've never once played the game but I've seen the one clip everyone seems to quote "Wake up mr. freeman" and anything that resembles that gives me the spooks. There's also Chulip, a video game yes, but between the graphics and probably the atmosphere of the game make it unnerving even if it has a "cute" appearance.

i dont have a fear of animation styles but i do have a phobia of the dark. I just dont like it it creeps me out for some reason it is just not me. I cant deal with having no television in my room, because next thing y know theres a darn hellhound standing next to your bed like srsly bruh

[surenlicious]

Y'all. If I ever see the Ren & Stimpy art style ever again I'm gonna cry acid tears. That is such a...ugh. No. Major no right there.

[Tanako]

killing stalking grosses me out. couldn't even get past chapter two. I'm not sure why it appeals to some people but I just can't do it.
the worst part is that I ran into it by accident due to how much people were hyping it. Yuck
don't get me wrong, I respect the artist and her work is great. I mean, she's very talented to even create such grotesque work.

Clay-animation makes me uncomfortable most of the time. Other types of stop-motion I'm generally fine with, but clay... I don't like seeing it move.

[akitsukino]

Someone brought it up but I’ll hop on and say some forms of stop motion does mess with me. Rankin-Bass stuff, or even Gumby or Pengu is fine. But then there’s things like Jack Stauber’s work which just...

I barely made it three minutes into this before I hit fear goosebumps. (Which is sad because this seems like a good short )

[CursedBeasts]

Steven Universe is a fun show but some character designs from it (Spinel and Pink Diamond) unsettle me for some reason.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's style is definitely something i'm on the fence about. I like the anime version so far (I was on part 3 but got distracted) but the manga looks a bit uncanny valley.

H.R.Giger's art is something that I appreciate but am viscerally unsettled by to the point of not being able to look at it for long.

[allenT]

This show from 99', very unsettling to me.
No.

[Tanako]

HOLY SH** wow that was hard to watch
