People express frustration with characters that look exaggerated, deformed, or just plain unappealing — reminiscent of a "Grinch-like" appearance or zoo-like caricatures. The sentiment is that these designs alienate audiences rather than attract them, contributing significantly to the films' declining popularity.

Pixar once set the gold standard for animation, celebrated for its charming, relatable character designs. Now, however, it seems a departure from this legacy, shifting towards a more graphically experimental or "artistic" style that critics say sacrifices appeal.
