    I don’t know about the voices thing; when I was pre-school aged I enjoyed Ringo narrating Thomas the Tank Engine.

    I can somewhat get the concept of styling; it’s just human psychology in general. As much as I love Prodigy, there’s characters that could have used a lot more stylization and as a result end up looking really creepy; this is especially common among previous Star Trek characters. Lower Decks was much better about its stylization in some ways; it had a consistent design language into which all characters, including classic ones, were translated, and it stuck with it (with the exception of a few background characters in early season 1 episodes as well as this one freakish human ensign with giant ears).

    However, the preschool show’s style feels so cheap, soulless, and generic; they didn’t do it well.
