I see what you mean. In cartoons, emotional expressions are usually both exaggerated and simplified by animation. That makes everything easier to read. Plus, the dialogue is all scripted, so that it flows better than dialogue in real life.
That's why I don't take those online tests what often come up in threads on WP, like ''emotion in the eye'' tests or ''facial expressions'' tests. It's still not enough information to just see a close-up image of a pair of eyes, with 4 multiple choice options what could all mean one facial expression sometimes. I need some sort of context behind it too, which is why I can read non-verbal social things with people in real life but always fail when taking these online tests. I always thought that was why social and emotional expressions in cartoons were more exaggerated and simplified, so that it is easier for viewers to read.
