cartoonishly
Like animated exaggeration
Cartoonishly describes something done in an exaggerated, unrealistic manner reminiscent of animated cartoons.
Actions, features, or expressions become cartoonishly large, simple, or dramatic: His eyes went cartoonishly wide.
The word often suggests something so overblown it strains credibility: a cartoonishly evil villain, cartoonishly incompetent leadership.
