Abstract This study explores the critical role of animation style in shaping genre-specific audience experiences, focusing on a comparative analysis of comedy and horror animation. Through qualitative case studies—Despicable Me and Looney Tunes for comedy, and Coraline and The Witness for horror—the research examines how core animation principles such as timing, exaggeration, color palette, lighting, character design, and visual composition contribute to genre identity and emotional impact. Comedy animations employ rapid timing, exaggerated motion, and vibrant colors to elicit laughter and delight, while horror animations utilize subdued palettes, low-key lighting, uncanny design, and slower pacing to generate fear and tension. Findings highlight that similar animation tools can produce opposing effects depending on their application within a genre framework. The study concludes that animation style is not merely decorative but genre-defining—guiding audience perception and emotional response through deliberate formal choices. These insights affirm the necessity of aligning visual style with narrative intention in animation storytelling.
