How can an 2D animated movies or shows have multiple animators whilst maintaining a consistent art style?

Question

I understand how you can have one person for background art, or one person for basic sketching and another for colouring etc, but surely this would take too long to animate with only a small group.

Answer 1

Basically, trained artists are good at mimicking the style of another, and they have examples of the “official” art next to them at all times so they can use as reference. With enough practice, you become able to draw the characters close enough to the original that no one notices the difference.
