[Squidward1999]

Yeah

 

[RangoAnimations]

Rather than the sudden cut to black

i wonder why they stopped doing the fade in and out with the title cards

They briefly stopped in 9a, started to do the fade in and out again with Lost in Bikini Bottom

 

[Squidward1999]

Though it's a quick fade

im mostly referring to when in the pre movie seasons the title card would fade in and then fade out and then fade into the opening credits

The vortex in the Alegea's Always Greener is pixelated, bad early 00's CGI.

 

[Squidward1999]

I don't think it is (my opinion)

For SpongeBob I think markerbob is Caleb Mueror, Cubebob is Sherm Cohen, and noodlebob is Erik Weise.

The first half of season 4 feels very dated, but the second half feels newer

The animation differences between the first and last episodes of the third season of Adventure Time are jarring to the point where it's frightening:

Season 3 Episode 1 (Conquest of Cuteness)









Season 3 Episode 26 (Incendium)

How did they make Squidward gradually turn dark blue without using computers?

i think they mixed the paint with the dark blue and squidward's blue

Tartakovsky Dexter can have lazy animation as well, in season 1, during close-up shots, the entire background would be blank. Not even 1960s Hannah Barbara cartoons that had the budget of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would do this. This is extremely lazy:
















If I were a cartoon network exec, I'd have them send the episode back to Korea, so they can redo these shots.

Even when I watched Dexter's Lab when I was little, I still knew that the Chris Savino era was digitally animated, while the Tartakovsky seasons were painted by hand. Just the distinctive look to each era makes it obvious. Yeah, at the time, I didn't know the proper terms for the animation techniques being used, but I still thought of the first two seasons as "painted by hand and shot on film" and the Savino era as "computer animation".

This episode has the thickest lines in Spongebob history.


Here squidward's outline is way thinner for basically no reason, for a long time I knew this didn't look right

Overall this episode looks more like they weren't really used to digital animation than even Your Shoe's Untied

Dexter’s Lab was also like that when they first switched to electronic animation. The first few episodes have the third season have very bold outlines.

In this image, the boats look like they were pasted onto the original ocean image and not portrayed by actual actors in actual boats. The fishing lines also look strange.
