Sometimes actually, animation can be inconsistent in an animated show even with a style guide and height chart for characters. Steven universe is an example that comes to mind, as it isn’t puppet animation (which is predawn vectors moved at the joints with mouths that are cycling through to mimic the audio), but hand drawn mostly. So sometimes the characters can look totally different from episode to episode, with bigger heads and different heights. Inconsistency can lead to animation and continuity errors, so this can be an issue if the differing styles interfere too much with the visuals and distracting from the plot.
