Animation Deconstruction

The images above are screen caps from Adventure Time (top)

and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (bottom)

Both images are modern cartoons on Cartoon Network that show unique techniques in color, and lighting. At a glance, Adventure Time has brighter, less-saturated pastel colors. Where, Flapjack has darker, more saturated, and rich colors. The line thickness differs as well. In the Flapjack image you can see the lines are much thicker with choppy lined shadows , and the Adventure Time image uses thin lines with smooth conforming shadows. 

As far as lighting and mood goes, the Adventure Time image is cast in dim light, and the Flapjack image has a bright light shining in from the left-ish side. Both images, however, share a happy, warm-hearted mood. What really sets the two apart is the detail of the lines. In Adventure Time, most of the images are simplistic and don't have a lot of detail. Flapjack is the exact opposite with a finer detail to the face, especially on close up grotesque shots like this one.

Also, the color of each character distinguishes them from the less-attention-grabbing background similar to the Tom and Jerry portion of the Animation lecture.
