I wanted to show how much theatrical animation has changed in the last few years. Incorporating 2D elements has always been attempted but was rare and went unnoticed. That’s not the case anymore with more adopting it, anime too!
I made Like 5 different titles when posting this everywhere else 😭😭😭
Love these guys (except Greg no one likes him I will shove this man into a shredder). I grew up with all of these except BN actually!!! And kept up with all of them. It is kind of weird I’m into BN now besides being like tunnel visioned focused on the other ones ESPECIALLY captain underpants. But I don’t mind! I still enjoy the books anyways.
anyway I saw this poster in a Captain Underpants book on the same day I was starting my Banned Books talks so I was implored to recreate it and I kinda fucking love it
This was one of my favorite scenes to do while working on Captain Underpants. It presented a problem though: In three seconds Cap needs to enter through a window. Fall. React. Get Up. Hide behind a TV. How do you cram all that in such a short timeframe? Easy. Ask Team Rocket.
Wait, that's not them. How about....
That kinda looks like them. Play the footage.
There we go! I love how Meowth is animated in perspective but these two just WOOP right up. These early episodes are full of animation cheats that add a nice snap and comedic feel.
There's barely any inbetweens in this scene! I had none for Cap getting off the floor nor when turning around with the tv. Pressure can aid an artist in finding creative solutions for tight schedules.
