Twitter’s Animation Facts Will Change How You See Your Beloved Show

A popular Twitter thread asking users to deliver their best “useless” animation knowledge was deleted by its creator. But it’s hard to kill the internet bug once you got it, and people keep sharing animation details that would satisfy even the most insatiable thirst anyway.

“In Toy Story, Woody was originally supposed to look concerned after he removes Buzz Lightyear’s helmet and Buzz starts choking,” one popular tweet said. “But the model of him during the scene looked bored and unamused, which was funnier so they did that instead.”

Animation useless fact:

In “Invader Zim this walk was thought to be menacing but when the animation team was done with this, the staff thought Peepi was dancing so they added the music.” And in The Proud Family Movie, Oscar Proud was meant to have a slow-mo running scene, but “when the animation came back from overseas, it looked like this. The crew found it funny and kept it that way.”

In the Dexters Laboratory episode “Chubby Cheese”, after Chubby’s song you see the audience literally just flying away. This was a miscommunication between storyboard artists and korean animators misinterpreting “Take off” as Flying away rather than leaving. https://t.co/BdvxvXu8FL pic.twitter.com/ckWTQCuNA5

Iirc, the Oscar Proud run from The Proud Family Movie was originally meant to have him running in slow motion. When the animation came back from overseas, it looked like this. The crew found it funny and kept it that way. https://t.co/stl9QkkpzX pic.twitter.com/3PsdpUjoKG
