By giving inanimate objects, buildings, or animals exaggerated facial expressions, it creates a comedic contrast between the seriousness of the filmed situation and the lightness of the added drawing. The sought-after emotion is joyful surprise, blending nostalgia for simple cartoons with critical observation of daily life. It is a playful way to see the world with more fantasy and less seriousness.
