>Take a character from any of the past 15 years of animated movies and they are interchangeable with each other

That's mostly an american thing

You should watch some anime

To someone unfamiliar with anime, anime characters look extremely similar.

I'm unfamiliar with anime, and I disagree. (Not that I'll be able to provide examples.) There's a generic anime look, but there are a lot of things that don't look like the generic anime look.

Just looked up some names I've heard people mention: The My Hero Academia character art is very visually distinct from OG Pokémon, which is very different to the Sun & Moon version of Ash Ketchum.

Anime animation quality isn't what it was in a lot of cases too.
