Answer 1

There is an art director and master style sheets that sets the design of each character and the general style for the movie.

Before 3D modelling it was also the norm that they had an entire department whose only job was cleaning up animations and (if necessary) redrawing some parts to make it more in tune with the general style of the movie.

There are some very interesting documentaries on for example the making of Pocahontas.
