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?

Good answers here.
I think it depends on the department you’re talking about. I’d say a lot of it is hierarchy, the director’s job is to make sure everything conforms to their vision, they’re chosen because they can visualize what the movie should be and make quick decisions. On top of that, every department has supervisors who make sure the same style is applied throughout their department.
Interesting to note that because storyboards aren’t shown in the final product, they tend to be more diverse in art style. I’d argue that the look gets more conformed as it goes through modeling, design, and layout, but in the end each animator has their own way of moving the characters. So the process begins and ends with a lot of personal artistic expression, with more confomity in the middle?
