I’m currently watching a documentary on the making of Frozen 2, maybe you’d like that as well.

As other people already mentioned, there are several art directors involved. In this case they also have specific character directors (one for each character) that makes sure the character is looking and acting the same way throughout the entire film. And lots of reviewing together helps to make everything blend in as well.

I’m pretty sure it has to do with individual animators using the same software/tools and receiving the same files for character skins and other on-screen things that require continuity for CGI films anyway. For traditional animation it’s something similar but on physical media.

How do TV shows maintain character roles and their personalities when each episode is potentially written by a different person with a different voice? You set parameters and work within them

Basically you get a bunch of people and tell them which style to use, the have guidelines and supervisors who ensure consistency
