Hi! 1920-30’s cartoon fan here to debunk some things! (Sorry)

A Pearl in the silent cartoon era will most likely NOT look like that. That kind of face were more often used for either non-human animals, or people of colour, and I’ve never seen a human character from that era with that kind of nose (used more for dogs or cats.) I think she would more resemble this woman:

As for Niklas...that’s not true at all. The ‘triangles’ were actually representing the light reflecting in the eye, not the pupil (which is represented by the black dots themselves)! Here’s an example: in ‘The Skeleton Dance’, at the VERY BEGINNING we see an owl with ‘pie-cut’ eyes staring right at us, but the light in it’s eyes makes a triangle that, by your statement, would suggest it’s AVOIDING eye contact. And if that were true, for a long period of time, Mickey and Minnie would be staring away from eachother in the title card.

I don’t mean any offense, I just wanted to educate you on this subject that I’m so passionate about. Goodbye!
