Think it’s a stylization issue, Next Gen has some heavy film grain applied and has a generally gritty look with realistic lighting and camera lens emulation (which makes it interesting and different) while Abominable tries to look like a polished shiny synthetic Hollywood production despite being animated in China and not having the rendering resources of a $150-$200 mil internal DW or Disney flick
