Pixar's "turning red" will take a place in the early 2000s

I do wish the song ended with an explosive chorus instead of the beatboxing. Teen Pop songs always ended eith explosive choruses.

It's weird because the person directing this is said to be taking inspiration from their youth years

I guess we're now giving the 2000s the same inaccurate treatment we gave the 90s, 80s & before

This movie was okay, but much of the time it had me frustrated by the inaccuracies. When utilizing pretty recent of history, any errors can be really obvious. With live-action it doesn't even bother me as much because I understand the limitations in budgeting and finding props, but Pixar animation is so high quality, it's kind of inexcusable not to have everything just right.

Things I noticed that felt wrong for 2002:
Ugg boots and butterfly clips in one outfit. These were unlikely to coexist, clips skewing late 90's and Ugg brand getting more popular in the mid 00's.
Chokers were on their way out. Not gone, but not that prominent.
Late for the boy band craze in general, especially "curtain" hairstyle, but too early for guys in nail polish.
Saying "OMG" at least out loud was not a known thing for a few more years, perhaps 2005?
Who still had a Tamagotchi?

or 2000. At least that would make more sense since that year has tons of late 90s hangovers. Tbf, 2002 had one last boy band hit, although it heavily leans early 2000s R&B with Neptunes production.

Not just design wise but the characters in this movie move in a very weird way too, their bodies and facial expressions move very fast

Probably because the younger generations nowadays have very short attention spans

2010s cartoons also seem to be incredibly fast-paced in their animation style. Think Adventure Time or Teen Titans Go. They are more fast-paced than 2000s cartoons, which in turn are more fast-paced than 90s cartoons, which in turn are more fast-paced than 80s cartoons.
That applies to movies as well. I've seen animated movies and cartoons from the 80s, and they all seem to move in a very stiff and slow way. It honestly resembles anime in that regard.
Also regarding modern animated movies and cartoons. For the most part, they tend to be quite minimalistic and low-detail. There ARE exceptions, of course, but it seems like in the 2000s, and ESPECIALLY the 90s, they were a lot more detailed looking.
