Not sure if this is really an animation error, but Chomper didn't make it out of this mudslide in one piece.  :ChomperOhNo
Go Chomper!

I just noticed a few days ago that some of the boxart depicts the characters with fur.

Another error missing from this thread is from the scene from the third movie when the adults are arguing. The opening of the scene depicts Petrie's mom with her normal color palette, but the closing of the scene depicts her with Petrie's palette.

Also, when making a GIF of this, I noticed this weird 3D line that lasted for 2 frames.

I'm also surprised that no one mentioned Spike's reflection not matching up with his eye movement in the TV series intro.

And Petrie looks pretty cursed in those frames, too...  :opetrie

Eeep! Thanks for highlighting those animation errors. Mo-o-o had never noticed! :opetrie

It's pretty cursed, indeed...

But to be fair in this instance, this was like a low budget production of The Land Before Time TV series in 2007. So along with the 2D animation overall being downgraded from traditional movie quality, I'm sure either they didn't care too much to either notice or fix the animation errors that most kids wouldn't notice anyway. :P

But regardless, thank you for being the catalyst that has revived this thread. Mo-o-o hadn't realized or known yet how interesting, weird, or funny LBT animation errors can be! :lol

I never noticed that Spike's eyes don't match up with his reflection, which is strange because, normally, I'm pretty good at finding animation errors.  :spikeblush

I think I noticed Petrie looking a little strange in that part of the intro, though.  :opetrie

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

There's something off with this shot.
I checked, and this only lasted for 1 frame, so good catch! I usually spot animation errors pretty quickly, but even I missed that one.

It looks like if an AI mastered the LBT art style, but still had the common AI mistakes.

I just checked my HD rips, and they have the same error. It lasts for 2 frames, and in this higher resolution cropped screenshot, I can see that there are a few pixels colored correctly in the corner of his eye.

I'm curious how long it took you in particular to find that animation error, considering that it had only lasted for 1 or 2 frames? Like Mo-o-o is thinking you must be paying a lot of attention or going through each scene in the movies quite slowly in order to not miss an animation error, right? Was there an exact method you used that was perhaps more efficient?

Well I've been taking screenshots from the movies and TV show for some projects and i just somehow paused at the right time to find this animation error!

I apologize for my absence the past few weeks.

I've been meaning to post another error from the third movie where Hyp's spine and the area below his eyes are pink instead of their usual shade of brown for a few seconds.
