They had this animation mistake a lot in the really early episodes of The Simpsons (both the Tracy Ullman shorts and the actual series) when the animation could best be described as "a step above epileptics with crayons." Now, it's the writing that feels like it's been done by people with severe neurological problems.

Meh, I think the animation looks poo poo now too. It's overly clean and digital and it might as well be cgi at this point. I haven't watched a full episode in 8 years but from what little I've seen it's not just the writing that sucks.

I think this was an actual stylistic animation choice called the "twistermouth". They point it out all the time in the DVD commentaries for the earlier seasons before the animation on the show became more naturalistic (relatively speaking).

It's the start/mid/end point for an animation smear to emulate the look of fast motion when shaking his head. Twister mouth and really over the top smears were used a lot early on to make the cheap animation look more lively.

There was a pretty good thread in I think GBS, likely in archives now, that catalogued a bunch of these.

Paranorman had smears, which I've never seen in a stop motion film



edit: Here's the scene that they're used in Massive spoilers for the movie though

edit: vvvv Yup. Watched the behind the scenes right after. It's really amazing how technically advanced paranorman is.

Huh, I was wondering how they did that effect. I assume that's the "witch"? I figured that was one of the few times they used CGI in that movie.

I really need that bluray so I can watch special features, and I hope it has a making-of.

I sort of half-watched this movie while it was on in the background and didn't even notice it was stop-motion. Dear God.

It's actually a pretty fun game, it makes fun of itself and is not ashamed to do so. The only downside is that it can get grindy as gently caress.

Every single dang time something is posted about water on these forums this comes up, but Dihydrogen Monoxide is a perfectly acceptable name. If you want to be a dick about it though it's actually Oxidane. That's the IUPAC name for it (the other name, in addition to water).
