Did this animation style have a name? - And was it the calarts of the 90's and 00's?

For over a decade too.

Yeah it gave the same mass produced slop vibes as calarts does now.

I see differences in all of them. Which is one thing beanmouth doesn’t have.

I love the artstyle, very expressive and diverse. You know everything about a character just from looking at him/her. It's a good middle ground between realistic proportions and caricatures.

Sadly American animation died a violent death and got replaced by literal blobs with no edges.

Honestly miss this look, they weren't afraid to have *gasp* angles in their character designs. Sometimes the bolded outlines didn't look right, but it helped them pop off the screen when used correctly.

Also, at least with Total Drama's character designs, even though people either hate it or like it, they do allow you to easily identify which character is which based on their color schemes and/or their silhouette.

Would FreshTV's other famous Cartoon, 6Teen, also count for this artstyle, even though the characters don't have the pronounced edges on them?

I dunno, but I can tell you that if Internet was as widely used back then as it is now, people wouldn't shut up about how this style ruined animation or whatever.
