Basic Animation Aesthetics Reading Questions

1. Do you recognize a style in other works by animators? Does this style apply to O'Reilly's rule of Coherence and Consistency? 


2. Do you agree with the statement: 

"The aesthetic rules defining a world should be as few as possible (but no fewer). The more elemental and simple an environment, the more exciting and visually rewarding it is when we introduce changes to it. For example if a film uses every color of the spectrum all the time, it loses the power to use it creatively over time."

This quote can be applied to all mediums in art. Does O'Reilly's theory of elegance being attainable through more rules apply to your art style? How has it helped animation's like Disney or Pixar?
