When an animation studio like Pixar has multiple dozens of people, all with their own styles, working on a project, how do they keep everything uniform?

I used to work with Disney animators and artists (I was on the product side and also led upgrading the animation workflow from sketches and camera tables to digital within our group). Animators are commercial artists, decent one’s can emulate whatever style you need. If the work didn’t fit in seamlessly with everyone else’s they wouldn’t be in the building. There are a few ways this happens, style books are created and distributed for new properties and for old properties you could go to the library at Imagineering and look at the original style guides going back to the 1930s. There were also sculpted statues (maybe a foot tall) called maquettes all over the place. I’m sure it happened, but I can’t remember having any artists that couldn’t give you what you were looking for. The standards are pretty high.
