four fingers (three fingers and a thumb) is generally regarded as easier to draw, easier to animate, and less visually busy.

it's less work to animate and it's not too different from a normal hand that it doesn't bother most people who don't pay attention to it

I always assumed that it was easier to keep track of and animate as opposed to five.

Originally, it was because it was just that much less work to animate and draw in old cartoons. Nowadays, it's just kind of tradition among a lot of cartoonists.

Because when you draw cartoons you exaggerate proportions. You make the head and hand bigger. The bigger you draw the hand the less fingers you can easily fit on it.

During a fourth wall break in Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka speculated that three fingers look like four when in motion because of the difference between crisp drawings and blurry photographs. Plus all the other reasons here (I like >>92931339).

Shame any chance of a CG remake is forever lost due to the movie. Also: Why have I not yet drawn porn of them? They've been here for so long.
