Well, he was a baby at that point, so some facial features were different. But the most logical reason is the art style. I mean, 20-30 something years of producing will have changes!
@@ember6955 The art style has indeed changed over time with the permanent change from traditional to digital animation technology in 2002 (albeit episode 96 from 1998 is the first ever digitally animated DC episode) being a part contributing factor to Conan's & his baby Shin'ichi version's facial outlook differences, & with the Collection Of Short Stories episodes being from 1999, the precise facial outlooks & head shapes in this special mini-series mostly match those of DC (or main in-universe series for all purposes) episodes from the same year & surrounding ones, so roughly episodes from around 100 until some way through the 200s since the specific art style has also changed within both traditional & digital animation eras rather than both general eras having a single precise art style without any other detail changes.
the fact that her baby is holding his arms out in enjoyment of the high speed... Oh yeah, Shinichi will be a speed demon just like his mother when he gets old enough to drive a car or motorbike. He chastises her on breaking the speed limit and that in canon... but I reckon he'll be breaking those laws soon enough and then batting his pretty big eyes for forgiveness when told off by his superiors. 😂
