It’s hard to tell because there can be a lot of differences between the mood on a production and the film itself.

Interesting but you’d think they would have taken the time to draw a decent character to demo the thing and not scribbles. I kind view this as evil because it’s gonna make jackasses believe you don’t need animators any longer to make films. Which this tutorial CLEARLY demonstrates is not true.
