@ben after you see stuff on YouTube you'll be begging for Cocomelon. It does take a while to adjust to the constantly rotating camera.

@morten_skaaning I've seen it, the depths of autogenerated clickbait stuff. When visiting a friend their kid showed our kid "Barbie Murder Mystery", recommended by YouTube even with the age lock set to 3-5yo.

The solution is to never let the kid near YouTube.

@ben so after I've seen a lot of Cocomelon, I started noting two technical details: 1) they invested a lot of energy in the eyes. The reflections are quite expressive. It feels like the pupils have extra color grading.
2) there is proper motion blur in the show. If they didn't care they wouldn't spend the time and money on rendering it.

Incidentally the spinoff site, Cocomelon Road, does not have the expressive eyes or motion blur, and I think that's detrimental to the show.

@morten_skaaning that's amazing that you mention the eyes, they're what make me incredibly unnerved. The art style is horrifying.

@ben it's an acquired taste...

@ben It's like kids shows run through LLM recursively
