The nature of drawing and animation lends itself to exaggerated and unrealistic depictions of living creatures, due to the freedom that the artistic form affords. '''Sphere eyes''', as well as oval-shaped ones, are often employed in certain cartoon and art styles - or else for specific moments or gags - as a means to allow for the widest or, rather, most exaggerated forms of expression possible. Often cartoon characters are given large (or small), round/bulging eyes shaped like a geometric sphere or oval, which are connected to each other and often use tiny little dots for pupils. Alternatively, if a character with separate eyes has excited or scared expressions, their eyes can then change into this style.
