Is that really something worth nitpicking? That's like asking an artist why they change their artstyle after so much time, they don't want to have the exact same look forever.
Samuel Campbell
Just looks more detailed, and less bottom heavy.
Lincoln Bell
They hired better artists.
Henry Carter
keeping an artstyle exactly identical over the course of 19 years is practically impossible, even if you try.
Evan Wood
Advances in technology and artists getting used to the South Park style lead to more detailed looking characters
Dominic Barnes
Because it looks better? Evolving digital techniques and more staff meant they could put more detail into their puppets while still maintaining the low turnover time that they're known for.
Old South Park everyone was just rounded rectangles and ovals.
Lucas Gray
Yeah, even Eric Stough admits it, neither he or Trey could draw hence why they made animated South Park with paper cut outs. Now they have people that can draw as their animators and designers, hence why the characters as well as the backgrounds look so much better.
Ryder Myers
What's wrong with the new one?

They got a bigger budget, new artists, and now have fewer technical limitations.
Charles Jackson
Advances in tech and they got better at making models. I love how detailed the show has gotten but I do miss how the earlier seasons looked like literal construction paper, but current is better.
Brody Moore
It's the same though.
Owen Brooks
They are literally two different guys
Jacob Price
But, the old style looked better. More detailed =/= good
Oliver Collins
Yeah, it's more consistent with the main cast's design. And it seems possible to actually make with cardboard, which I assumed was the point of SP's artstyle.
Ryder Torres
It was never the point it was just their limitation.
Carson Lee
And "what I'm familiar with" != "the way it should be done."
I find it hard to believe anyone sees substantial aesthetic value on the early South Parks. And while new South Park certainly isn't what I'd call "globally appealing", it's distinctive in a "political cartoonist" kind of way and not just "they're the only ones (but not really) who make cartoon out of cardboard (but not really)" kind of way.

christ i fucking hate the new art style. everything is so visually cluttered and flashy. it's ugly.
Henry Foster
it's funnier if randy has to kiss the right one
