The new models from the cinematic looks like from Fortnite, Overwatch. They're too smooth and roundy.
You are not wrong for the comparison xD but even Clone Wars were able to step up their game, while this is clearly a step back. It is definitely rendered differently than all previous cinematics. Perhaps it saved some time or other resources for the cinematic department, but the quality didn't get better.

I think the biggest issue here is the shitty lighting. Usually the light in WoW cinematics is very diffused and shadows are very, soft. This prevents the models from "popping out" and looking like plastic toys. Instead of relying on lighting for detail, those subtle differences in hues and tones and shades are painted on, the textures help us identify the subject, not the lighting. And in I think that's what's missing here.
Here's more or less what I mean

While you are right with the light (it is a soft light thus all shadows are more subtle) it shoudln't affect the texture mapped (applied) on the model. The texture lacks details. Look at the apples closely, there's equally much details left on their "texture" (skin), only the lights and shadows got softer.

Sylvannas and Uther looked bad. Blizzard are great at cinematics, not sure why they decided to change it. Looks like a Pixar special and not WoW.
