The Cheshire Cat significantly predates Totoro.
Exactly, grin on cat is nothing original at this point, it's as aesthetic as Picasso.
Are we looking at the same picture? It's not that it's a grin on the cat, it's that it looks nearly 1-1 traced from Pokemon
Its a line of white triangles inside a half oval shape. Its the most cut and dry "cartoon sharp teeth smile" design on the planet.
I can't find another smiling cat that looks quite like it. I mean, they have the same number of teeth, it looks at least a little bit sus
Not that I'm going to rag on this company for making a Pokemon that shares a face with Viking Meowth. Fuck Nintendo
Well it might not be on the internet, but that smile and triangle teeth is how kids usually draw evil smiles when I was a kid. And that predates Pokémon.
With eyes the same colour, shape and relative size
Glowing yellow eyes is such an old cat stereotype that my grandmother finds it cliche, and the pals eyes are a sharper oval. The meowths ovals plateau and flatten more at the top and bottom, while the pals eyes have more of a pointed peak.
They used a "make shape" tool on some 3D modelling software. Egads, you mean the make shape software is going to make similar shapes?? As if its some sort of, what, algorithmic program?!?
