What are some of the most outrageous animation errors that you have spotted in the LBT franchise?

I remember one scene in LBT 10. Grandpa was looking down the mountain at the three Sharpteeth as they were attacking the gang, but the Sharpteeth's colors were switched around. It was odd.

I noticed that one since I was a kid.

Not sure if this counts as "animation", but my favorite error of all time will forever be Icky's binoculars
Icky's binoculars.



Yeah, look at the original cover of LBT 4. Icky's holding a modern-day pair of binocs. That's canon, and I don't mean the brand.

Yeah I guess it counts.

I guess that's why we have a new cover for LBT IV. They caught on to the error.

One of the most bewildering continuous errors is when they miscolor characters. How does that slip through the animating process. Yes I know these films are made in a relatively short amount of time but still.

Grandma and Grandpa Longneck got color mismatched a lot, and it’s kind of annoying and just looks like lazy animation. In LBT 6, Ducky gets miscolored when she says the line “They said you were the one who told them to get lost.”

I only saw 10 recently compared to a lot of folks but I was sure I wasn't paying attention enough only to become even more confused later. Errors, errors.  :MommaSmile

Can anyone explain this wizardry?

I’m pretty sure one error was in one episode of the TV series (titled The Great Log Running Game) where Cera was reaching the waterfall, and when Littlefoot and Spike went to help, in one scene, Cera and Spike switched places in an continuity error, and the next few frames, Spike was back with Littlefoot.  Hilariously bad if you ask me.  :lol

Yep. It's similar to the Doofah thing I mentioned above.

Here are two more animation errors I saw:

One from “The Great Log-Running Game”:


And one from “Return to Hanging Rock”:


Isn’t it weird how they make the same error twice in different episodes?  :thinking

Snout miss colorings are very common in the tv series.

Oh, I didn’t notice that.

It’s just that it’s been awhile since I last watched the TV series, so my memory on animation errors on snout miscolorings is poor. :oops

I will find some as time goes on. For now take my word for it.

I’m pretty sure another snout miss coloring was on the episode “The Bright Circle Celebration”.  It took me up until the 2nd time I watched this episode on DVD to actually spot this, I don’t know why I never noticed it the first time I watched.

(it actually might be hard to tell, but just look closely at Chomper and you’ll eventually see it)
