The Dreamworks animation style is a blatant copy of the Pixar art style, which itself is a smooth textured, cartoony animation style but with 3D that has been done by countless kid’s animation series now, and yet, Disney has not slaughtered them all. One can not truly own a “style” in a generic sense like that. Now if one were to make a fake Pixar movie graphic using AI and deliberately mislead people with it by claiming it’s an actual Pixar render, that would be “stealing”. That’s not what is happening here.
