Top 10 Movie Mistakes Animators Made Without Getting Caught
Animation is without a doubt one of the most popular genres in the film industry beloved by kids adults and everyone in between they are some of the year's most successful films but despite the amount of time it takes to animate these films sometimes mistakes inevitably are made and make it into the final cut we can't fault the animators too hard they do amazing work but once we see them we can't unsee these mistakes that ended up in the film nonetheless.
10-Zootopia
Can you guess the hit animated feature based off of these emoji stay tuned to find out you went you little Dickens Zootopia, Zootopia was a huge hit for Disney not only getting heaps of critical praise and great earnings at the box office but the film also won best-animated picture at the 2017 Academy Awards how's that for bragging rights but despite all the praise and the power of the mouse house behind it some animation mistakes inevitably made their way into the final cut the film follows Lieutenant Judy Hopps valedictorian and parking duty officer for the local Police Department on her first day though she ends up getting hustled by none other than Nick Wilde and his associate Finnick and so the movie begins Judy lives in a pretty dingy apartment but it's in this apartment where we get to mistakes in the same sequence judy tosses her notebook next to her alarm clock after a terrible day thing is that alarm clock was on the windowsill in the previous scene in the apartment the notebook actually disappears between shots making us wonder if her apartment is actually haunted by some kind of poltergeist needless to say, we think the animators definitely weren't as focused on the details in this scene but we won't fault them for it they still made an awesome movie.
9-Finding dory
Finding Nemo still ranks as one of Pixar's top films so it's a bit surprising it took that long to come up with a sequel better late than never we guess in 2016 we got to team up with Nemo Marlin and Dory yet again in finding dory which saw the forgetful blue tang star in her own film dorias adventures Cesar's searching for her own family this time around and they head towards California which caused the story to remember key moments of her past she eventually ends up captured by a wildlife preserve oh and meets up with the extra grouchy Hank the local octopus - one tentacle with the help of Hanks spider-man like abilities Dory is able to navigate the hallways and rooms of the institution looking for clues it's here where we get a bizarre animation mistake while navigating the hallway Hank sees that a person is coming down it in their direction as he hides we get a good look down the hallway in question despite being pretty unimpressive in the previous shots there's a sudden water fountain that magically appears in the next shot nestled between two pictures the fountain clearly wasn't that important to the employees.
8-Moana
We still have the music for Moana stuck in our heads but that's not a bad thing it was really good after all but despite how fun and charming that film was we can't help but notice some animation mistakes that made its way into the final cut of course we try not to let this ruin our enjoyment of the film but sometimes we just can't help it Moana xanimation was straight up gorgeous especially the water animation the ocean has never looked more alive in the animation Jonathan but despite the level of attention that went into designing it and other aspects of ancient Polynesia it's the simplest thing we often forget when Luana heads into the cave and discovers the ancient ships lying dormant an animation mistake actually happens right under your nose ever catch it when we first see the ship she walks on the beaches bare except for the sand obviously but cut back to a shot of the shoreline and a sudden rock has appeared on the beach perhaps there's actually a giant crab that moved in between shots but we're gonna chalk this one up to two different sets having been animated and spliced together.
7-"Batman: The Killing Joke"
Many keep on forgetting but animation isn't limited to family-friendly material true those films are the most popular and often earned their respective studios of boat money but there are some great animated films out there that are tailored for a more mature audience take Batman The Killing Joke for example based on the insanely popular graphic novel of the same name written by Alan Moore no less The Killing Joke sees the Dark Knight go up against the Joker at his most cool and twisted to the point where he may have actually broke Batman the film adaptation made some changes though and those were very polarizing amongst fans one such was the romantic relationship between Batman and Batgirl but now there's another reason to not be as lukewarm about these scenes as there is in fact an animation mistake during the scene where these two get together Batman's hands actually move locations between shots perhaps the animators hadn't decided what Batman should be doing in the moment but it's clear that there were multiple ideas about where it should go what are your thoughts on the animated versions inclusion of a romance between Batman and Batgirl let us know.
6-"The Spongebob movie: sponge out of water"
A lot of us grew with SpongeBob SquarePants and regularly reference him and his antics to this day heck many moments from the beloved TV series are popular memes and gifs to this day the franchise was insanely popular to the point where it even got a few big-screen films most recently in 2015 sponge out of water the film focuses in on the Krusty Krab and its main competition the Chum Bucket which is run by plankton spongebob a fry cook at the Krusty Krab has been guarding the secret to the Krabby Patties from plankton for years now naturally since this is a spongebob feature all manner of mayhem ensues and we have ourselves quite the adventure during the film spongebob and his crew find themselves stranded on Pelican island due to being a nervous individual Squidward ends up releasing some ink into the ground as a result of this condition in need of some ink spongebob uses it for his pen which if you think about it and it's pretty gross but in the following shot all of that ink somehow magically vanished we don't think spongebob used that much ink in his message if he did that would have been an impressive letter.
5-The peanuts movie
The peanuts movie might be a bit more underrated than most of the other films on this list but it was still a critical and commercial success and is one of the more charming films in recent memory offering some great nostalgia for fans of Snoopy and Charlie Brown the film's plot was actually a heck of a lot simpler than most animated films in recent memory it revolved around Charlie Brown trying to get noticed by the new girl in class while also learning to stand up her himself and break out of his shell a bit but as we all know Charlie Brown is a bit of a blockhead but that's why we liked him so much one of the subplots in the film came was Snoopy writing his own story which in turn we got to see acted out as a world war 1 flying a spectacle as he drafts his story he gives his pages to Woodstock to get his opinion Woodstock proceeds to check the pages into the trash though as this goes on though Charlie Brown runs into the shot from the front of the house when he approaches Snoopy all the papers and trash have magically disappeared from the shot we don't think Woodstock has the strength to fly away with them.
4-Big hero 6
Where's our big hero 6 sequel we know we're getting a TV series on Disney XD but we want more baymax on the big screen we loved this Marvel like adaptation that Disney produced back in 2015 which featured a young yet highly intelligent boy team up with his brothers robot baymax in a quest to save the world spoilers if you haven't seen big hero 6 by now what are you waiting for in the film a terrible accident leaves our young protagonist hero without his brother the two of them would spend a lot of time together at the local university where hero's brother Tadashi has been working in the same field as Professor Callaghan early on the professor asks Hiro if he can see some of his microbots in the first shot we see him wearing a blue shirt over his vest cut to the close-up and Hiro hands over his creation to the profile outstretched arm there's a problem though the shirt is now red furthermore when we cut back to the white shot Callahan's shirt is blue again it's likely the animators mixed up the character models in this scene as Callahan can be seen wearing a red shirt a few scenes later after Hiro's demonstration.
3-Cars
Cars three raced into theaters earlier this summer and was seen by many fans and critics as a step up from the notorious cars to the film created by Pixar yet again centers on Lightning McQueen the seven-time piston cup champion and his newfound rivalry with an up-and-coming hotshot named Jackson's storm due to storms cutting-edge technology a lot of the older cars like lightning are finding themselves outdated and unimportant to the scene you can bet we'll have something on cars three when it hits video but for now we're going to take a step back and look at cars one the film has a pretty unusual yet funny scene with lightning and his friend mater ending up tipping some tractors which would be the cars equivalent of cow tipping in the scene mater sneaks up on some sleeping tractors and scares them awake causing them to end up springing backwards resulting in their engines facing the sky there's a problem here though we see mater flip two tractors before we get a wide shot where he gets the whole field in that shot the two tractors that are already up are nowhere to be seen chances are they didn't just drive away so where'd they go.
2-Frozen
Frozen is one of the biggest films in recent memory so of course we had to include it on our list the film was full of great and memorable characters nice twists and a cool play on Disney zone conventions it also had some catchy tunes that we still can't help hum every now and again what we can't help it in the film Elsa kind of puts the kingdom in deep deep deep deep snow and it's up to her sister Anna to save the day by this point we're all pretty familiar with the hair animation hoop which saw Elsa's hair passed directly through her shoulder now that's a pretty huge mistake but we know you know that one so here's one, you may not be as familiar.
1-Frozen
At one point in the film Hans and his guards end up at Elsa's ice castle and encountered the terrifying snow monster known as marshmallow wasting no time he knocks - guards aside and into a snow mound but there's clearly nothing around them aside from snow upon impact we cut away for a few moments as the guards notice Elsa at the castle door when we return to the two guards on the snow there's a sudden crossbow bolt just lying there ready to be used well that sure is convenient.
So there you have it everyone which animation mistake is the most troublesome for you , leave comment for us.
