Here's one from Saurus Rock. Ducky's crest is the wrong color.

If we're talking about animation errors, Stone of Cold Fire has more animation errors than the rest of the movies combined. I've tried to count them but simply can't, because every time i try i notice a new one. :ShortyDisgusted

It seems like grandpa longneck's snout is colored like grandma's more often than it isn't, Littlefoot is off-model for almost the entire film, during the nighttime scene Pterano's head is not the right color (not sure if it's an error or not but it looks pretty bad so i'm counting it as a bad design decision if nothing else), Ducky is off-model rather frequently (and severely, I might grab some examples when I have time), and some small things here and there that are hard to notice.

I think about this a lot because even though 7 is one of my favorites, it suffers from bad art syndrome pretty severely. I have a theory that the movie was animated by Wang's B team while the A team was gearing up to switch to digital inking and painting for the rest of the movies (Big Freeze onwards). No evidence to back this up of course, but it would explain the shoddy animation and constant errors.
If we hold on together... no, seriously. Grab my tail.

There are a lot of animation errors in the films and TV series which I may post at a later date but I'll focus on one sequence in particular here. One of the most glaring things I noticed during the ending sequence of JOTB is that Bron's markings on his snout are wrong... a lot. Honestly I thought the animators got him wrong more than they got him right.  :sducky

Okay what is up with Topsy's neck in the bottom picture. It's so long and muscular. It looks incredibly wrong.

Oh thank goodness i'm not the only one who noticed that weird coloration nonsense with bron at the end of JOTB. I agree, i think he's miscolored more often than not in that scene. It's super bizarre. Also Das is right with Topp's neck in that last picture. I love the sequels from an art perspective because if you look at any one frame for too long you begin to notice all the errors  :duckyworried

@Sapphirre98 Tell me about it. Just look on Fandom's List of Animation Error's page and see how many errors I have added for The Wisdom of Friends alone.

Yeeaaaah Topps' neck looks, uh... odd. I noticed throughout JOTB a few characters looked a bit inconsistent throughout, most noticeably the adult characters. Also is it just me or does Littlefoot's neck look unnaturally skinny in the bottom one too?

Anyway, here's a few grandparent miscolourings from X. The grandparents throughout suffer many animation errors like this, probably because they're usually together and look pretty similar.  :longneckBRUH

Oof, I didn't even notice Littlefoot's neck  :littlefootscared

Yeah, they get switcharoo'd a lot. Side note: I really love how the backgrounds look in X, even with the errors

Agreed, I love the backgrounds in X too.

One more from me before I pack it in for the night. I dunno if this actually counts as an animation error because I've got a feeling this might just be my copy of VII (I streamed it before I got said copy and didn't notice this). But anyway... nightmare fuel, anyone?  :littlefootscared

oh that's,,,  :rhett_ohno

Somebody looked at that frame, said "alright", then handed it to an inker/painter who said "alright" and inked/painted it. What happened here? :duckyscared

Eyeless Grandma:


In all seriousness, I think I just got a glitchy copy of VII. I checked out an online streaming version which looks like what I've attached. Still a minor error there with the eyes but at least they're not missing.  :rhett_ohsnap

Is the error only for one or two frames or does it persist for a good bit of the shot?

Either way, how, uh, pleasant.  :sducky

huh, weird.
Maybe in rebuilt versions of VII they edited some errors like this. Together with stupid edits like changing color of The Stone...
