ran across this making of it later. What's interesting to me is the way Bo Mathorne builds the characters (jump in to 1 min in) Flat projections bent into shape, and the mouth is just cut outs.

interesting to me because the new paradigm means letting go of trying to do the Pixar, Dreamworks, Bluesky render every grass look. Keith called it, the more you can simplify the less the eye worries about it, add a little noise and you can get by with so little.
