This sounds like a stretch but it's really not:
There would be no Spider-Verse without Bionicle.
Bionicle saved Lego from bankruptcy in the early 00's. No Lego means no Lego Movie, where Phil Lord & Chris Miller mastered stylized 3d animation that they took to Sony for ITSV

The art style in the 2006 Bionicle comics was so jarring & different from previous straightforward aesthetic, but in hindsight it gave us some of the best artwork to ever come out of Bionicle. Exactly what the story needed when it got more mature. Stuart Sayger is goated.

Part of my creative process is discovering what doesn't work to find what does.
Example: here's an alt of the Onua animation where I used a green color burst on the claws unsheathing. I decided it was too distracting & went with a simplified version using just the claw streaks

The original animations for the Toa Metru are super underrated. The animation style holds up really well. To me this is what Bionicle is all about: storytelling through atmosphere and mystery.

I want to animate a proper Axonn vs Brutaka fight scene. I feel like Death from Puss in Boots is a great inspiration for how Brutaka would move, and combined with his Mask power he could fight like The Spot from ATSV. And Axonn is basically just Gimli.

For the record, if someone applied to Pixar with this quality of character animation in their demo reel… they wouldn’t get a job.
There is WAY more to animation than just making a character move. People who think this is “Pixar quality” have no idea what they’re talking about.
The videos from

And here’s what those exact frames look like in context.
For Pohatu we actually just decided to make his entire hand/arm white so that it feels like it flashes past camera. For clarity I screenshotted my own render, so it’s not the final lighting. But you get the idea!
