Compared with "The Incredibles", the biggest change in "Ratuitouille" is a big step towards naturalism and realism.
For example, the color has reduced the simple and bright cartoon color, replaced by an elegant, natural and rich color spectrum, depicting the details: such as the city of Paris, such as the reflection of the tableware, which is very realistic, and in some places it can even be fake and real... in terms of movement, It reduces Superman's (also a Disney animation tradition) elastic exaggeration, reduces the range of movement flexibility, and moves smoothly and naturally... In short, it is more natural.
These changes are not only due to technological progress, but also to the transformation of ideas. Because Disney’s tradition is "dramatic" musical, rather than naturalistic and realistic.
The most obvious difference is in the setting of mice: Disney has used countless mice, but they have never been so realistic.
Due to the small exaggeration (character design and action), and the rendering of the fur is so breathtaking (after the mouse's fur is soaked, it is simply a real mouse skin!) The rat in "Ratuitouille" always makes People think of "real" mice, not symbolic, "expressionist" mice.
In some scenes, such as a group of mice running out or falling from the air... It was shocking... It was a test of the endurance of some MM audiences (I did an audience test, and some people could not stand it), they would shout "Too true !"
Combined with a question I am considering recently: The continuous improvement of 3D technology has made animated images more realistic, but does it bring some problems?
A very real gray mouse, so real, is it necessary?
The freehand brushwork of the action is less, and the realism is more...What are the characteristics of animation art?
Pixar's artists are worthy of admiration, but the truth... is it going to go further?
