The top: cartoon styles over at least seven decades. The bottom: a handful of cartoons from maybe ten years or so. Popular styles change. Look at the old Hanna Barbera cartoons. Yogi Bear, George Jetson, and Fred Flintstone all have the same template because that style was popular with a certain studio at a certain time. And this post ignores cartoons like Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time, and Regular show, which all have their own unique styles different from the ones pictured below.

I like how he limits it to Canada. Like, “I’m not sure about the whole world, but I’m pretty sure no one’s done anything this ambitious in Canada.”

Possibly rotten or damaged at the bottom and they wanted to cut it down before a windstorm takes it down. They cut them down piece by piece so it doesn’t damage something beneath it.
