You’re thinking of ice age, where in literally every sequel they add a love interest and every subsequent movie the girl version distorts more and more to fit specific gender roles, from natural fur-pigmented eye shadow and then eyeliner and mascara and contour highlighter all the way to human hair and fur dresses

bringing this up again but sexual dimorphism in animated movies/games will never not be funny ngl

the BOY animal/monster: has more exaggerated shapes and a cooler silhouette

the GIRL: HOURGLASS HOURGLASS HOURGLASS EYELASHES PERFECT SMALL FACE BIG COLORFUL EYES LIPSTICK AND BOOBS

#before you point out that ellie is very tame in this trope #yes that is intentional #i ordered them in order of which movie they’re introduced in #to make the point that the girl designs become more and more unstably humanly gendered over time #which includes eye shadow going from a gag on a gag character #to something they put on a character you’re supposed to take very very seriously
