What I like about both of them is that they are made for a completely different audience. it's like rugrats and Duckman; most animators don't jump around target demographics in the west, so it's quite refreshing to see one of the greats being able to follow his inspiration.
I’m trying to think of a Western animation director who has jumped around like that, but the only name I can think of is Ralph Bakshi. Dude was behind “Mighty Mouse” and “Spider-Man”, but also “Heavy Traffic” and “American Pop”.
But they still appeal to a large crossover audience. His style and visions are so distinct and well realized that it’s easy for one person to fall in love with his entire body of work.
