Its pretty funny to hear season 2 spongebob over cellbob, it reuses season 1 animation (they didn't paint new cells) and dubbed over it

 

[SpongeyMind]

they used the wrong color for spongebob's kitchen

Squidward's eyelids don't even slits, despite the fact that this episode has normal animation.

This is a storyboard from the deleted scene in Pressure, it seems too whacky to be in a pre-movie episode, just like other deleted scenes that never made it past storyboard.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Could Pressure have experimented with Toon Boom? The colors are usually bright in this scene. The white line around Sandy's helmet is improperly colored.


When Spongebob takes off his fake beard and cane, it goes back to standard Toonz Premium coloring:




Btw, this is the only transit markerbob episode Sandy is in, the other two markerbob episodes that Sandy appears in; "SpongeBob, Sandy, and the Worm" and "Pranks A Lot" are full on.

Markerbob looks weird with brighter colors.

This probably explains why every cartoon looks the same today, CalArts began spreading after the success of Adventure Time, when many popular television shows like Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, Gravity Falls, and more featured characters with similar faces featuring a bean-like and an ovular mouth (comparison image shown below). It has also been called the "Thin-line style."[3]
