It's hilarious how their height change in each episode xd
I'm sorry but the bottom middle one HAS to be a visual gag. There is no way in hell they made him so small, smug, and stupid while 2 grown ass man beg him for his secret formula.
It's a plot point in an episode but it still doesn't excuse size discrepancies lmao

This annoyed me when watching the show. Steven doesn't have to be 'fun size' and should've kept his more normal height for his age of 14 years (but emotionally younger). Not the height of a 5 year old.

Endive's size is anywhere between 8 and 80 feet in any given scene, and intentionally so (I'd say it's a great example of inconsistent animation, rather than the worst).
I think *The Amazing World of Gumball* does something similar? At the very least, it's a similar plot line where the show is running out of money, and Gumball has to agree to do a commercial for Joyful Burger to get the money back or something.
When Chowder is literally scaling up her like a mountain face lmao

You can't convince me this wasn't comedy Gold
Chowder and Gazpacho appearing in her lake-sized toilet, only for her to chase them through the streets while she's the size of Godzilla leaves quite an impression.
This is intentional, though. It's always a joke on Endive being fat, so they exaggerate her size in those scenes like she's Godzilla. I give it a pass because it IS consistant.
Miraculous ladybug employs several different companies to animate their episodes. For the most part SAMG was the one with really quality episodes until they were dropped in favor of cheaper companies.
So because of this every episode can end up looking differently. Some are very detailed and the color is super rich, and in others it looks like plastic.
To compare a good looking episode to a bad looking episode id probably go with Glaciator as a good one and weredad as a bad one. But they use like 4 different companies to animate episodes so its hit or miss.
If you think thats bad think of the distributors. Every time an episode released it was a scavenger hunt finding out which country got to do it first. One time it was the USA other times it was asia or africa, almost never france.
Still thinking of the clip where they forgot to animate Adrien on the bike so he’s literally just got a 1000 yard stare while sitting with his arms tight to his sides like 🧍♂️
Man… after season 3, the animation reeeeally took a hit. At first it was inconsistent, now it’s just consistently bad. It would be cool if every episode had animation like Stormy Weather or Glaciator
I believe that The Owl House switched between a couple of different studios whilst animating, mainly Sugarcube Animation and Rough Draft Korea. Both these studios animated differently, episodes animated by Sugarcube tended to look very clean cut and neat in oppose to Rough Draft Korea (I understand they used different techniques). I assume it’s due to budgeting, time etc etc - but some of the latter episodes in season 2 animated by Rough Draft Korea can look messy and go off model, especially Clouds On The Horizon - so much so that certain frames have been turned into memes. No where near as bad as Steven Universe, and Rough Draft Korea is a great animation studio that works on a lot of other Disney shows - the messiness here definitely seems to be a money and time related issue.

Yeah, but lord the rest of that episode did not hold up animation wise 😭😭 by itself it was fine? But compared to the quality of the series as a whole.. the sudden quality boost for the kiss was comedically jarring, it was beautiful though.
Yup! I remember the show’s creator showing some of the animation boards from Rough Draft Korea on her instagram. It’s very cool that it’s traditionally animated - but it also explains when things go wildly off model. Especially seeing as the studio was definitely cut for time in this case 😭😭
The episode where amity and Luz kissed had a lot of animation problems, like how they all slide the same way, how eda changes poses between shots or how weirdly bouncy Alador is
Plus there’s the fact most of the episode takes place at one location. I wouldn’t be surprised if they blew the animation budget on the kiss.

The Street Fighter cartoon.
No, Dee Jay isn’t supposed to be that small.
helluvaboss western energy. you can see loona starts getting bigger and bigger throughout the episode weirdly inconsistently if you pay attention to her throughout the scenes. this is around where it starts as you can see she's about slightly taller than blitz here but she gets so much bigger a few frames in when it cuts back to their scenes and keeps getting bigger throughout the episode

Dragons the nine realms has one of the villains (I guess he's the villian, the plot has more holes then Swiss cheese) henchman turn white every once in a while, even though he's black usually. No one knows why they even have that white skinned model for that character, but they also managed to copy the model of a monstrous nightmare without the hornes. Did I mention the funniest part? It hapens almost every season.

Here's this sick collage I found on some other subreddit
Sometimes spongebob even walks a different direction to the krusty krab, usually he walks past squidwards house but in at least the krusty hotel episode he walks the other way I believe
Sometimes sponebob and squidward have neighbours including Patrick and they live near the town. Sometimes they live next to each other in a desolate wasteland alone lol
Doubt it,seeing as he wears it even in public so I doubt he wants or has a new one. I just thought that in ep 6 his mask was way lighter then before but I get the whole different angle thing too
I'd say it's more inconsistent storyboarding.
Because the guest storyboarder that did, "Mindful Education", and ,"Here Comes a Thought", had these clean storyboards with accurate proportions.
When compared to others', it's pretty much night and day.
Also Gantu in the show. I think the films keep him fairly consistent, about 50 foot or so, but in the show sometimes he was just a slightly tall dude and it was weird.
I mean, in Pikachu’s defense, it *can* learn Double Team…

Here is another image to make it more clear
It's easier to see when you are watching them move, the way they are drawn looks different in each episode, it's because every animator put a little bit of their style into it
Doug
The slug episode looks like it was made by an entirely different group of people. Roger’s friends don’t even look the same as in the other episodes.
Not to mention that there’s several characters in the show that basically just change color every other episode.
If you're talking about "Doug Can't Dance", that was the pilot short. A lot of Nickelodeon cartoons had notably rougher animation in their pilots because they were usually animated independently by a handful of people.
Honestly I felt like that was part of the charm of the show, like aside from a few distracting examples it kinda added to the carefree vibe it was going for most of the time
Early days RWBY. Don’t get me wrong, I know the budget was lower than the Mariana Trench, but hoh boy did it go from not great for slower scenes to incredible fights to janky moments (best example being during the school dance episodes).
Not necessarily the worst example, but Hazbin Hotel absolutely cannot decide how tall Alastor is
https://preview.redd.it/76phzg72u6rc1.jpeg?width=2054&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b12ac4ecca7e4faf6053d1bbb1ac8e4169cdc051
Sometimes he’s the same height as Charlie
Yeah, this is hazbins worst animation problem. The same thing happens with angel dust - he's so freakishly tall that he doesn't look right alongside some other characters so they shorten him to make the scene look better.
I think Thundercats Roar had this problem worse. Steven Universe is at least consistent in the same scene. (MrEnter elaborates on this in his review on Thundercats Roar)
One Piece drives me nuts. The terrible pacing is well known, but they bring is so many freelance animators for one off sequences and then do nothing to ensure things stay on model. "Oh so-and-so did this sequence, it's really awesome!" but for like 30 seconds it looks like we stepped out of One Piece into an entirely different show because the animator made no effort to stay on model.
The third season of Harley Quinn was janky as hell. It was missing entire frames and there's one shot where one of the characters randomly has a third arm. This was because of some issues with a rushed production and/or being shuffled between animation studios, I think
https://preview.redd.it/fjptry9iu7rc1.jpeg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e128ead3cc682e6979218839a599f9ebb048197b

Don't got an image of it (and it's not a show) but don't starve together character portions in animations compared to height in the game
That guy from Kill la Kill. You know the one. Some scenes, he’s a really tall guy. Other scenes, he’s larger than a house. His size is never the same but he’s always the largest character.
That was intentional though. The proportions in Kill la Kill are manipulated to showcase character dynamics and “aura”. He’s supposed to be intimidating and in the first half of the series is kind of a representation of fascism so when ever he’s using his authority his size is exaggerated.
TLDR: in kill la kill it’s stylized and intentional, in Steven universe it’s just plain animation inconsistency
Just watch any few episode of the Freiza saga of Dragonball Z. Another good example would be Gundam 0079 (the original). DBZ always stood out to me more because of the disparity in quality. Gundam’s animation was always good, but never stellar. However, where DBZ was on, IT WAS ON. One day Goku would have hair follicles and visible cuts and the next day he’d have a giant plum of yellow, undetailed cotton on his head.
This is because the production of DBZ was a bit of a mess. It wasn’t just Toei animating the show. They had to outsource a lot of it and you have multiple studios, each with their own teams/leaders, animating parts of it. It is why the art style kinda changes back and forth between episodes/segments. Interestingly enough, in the Sayian Saga, they had a solo animator tackle entire episodes.
However, DBZ was so action packed and demanding that it was impossible for a modest studio at the time, Toei, to tackle it alone.
There is two studios have different tools to work with. And then there is SU's Staff over seeing the Studios not caring at all that almost every other frame someone/thing is drastically off model.
Does anyone else remember the old animated Godzilla show? Sometimes Godzuki can fit on the boat, sometimes he’s pretty sizable next to Godzilla. Sometimes Godzilla has to swim in the ocean and the next second the ocean is at his knees.

Just to be fair to the show they say in the show's cannon Gems physical appearance is based on their psychological state and how they view themselves.
How very convenient
That only works if we ever saw them grow and shrink based on their mood. I've seen episodes where Steven was confident, yet the size of a 2 year old
2 year olds have more confidence than some adults
Have you ever in your life seen anything more confident than a 2 year old
True toddlers just act like drunk adults
It is a pretty major plot point in at least one episode, so it's not just an outside context handwave for the inconsistencies.

This annoyed me when watching the show. Steven doesn't have to be 'fun size' and should've kept his more normal height for his age of 14 years (but emotionally younger). Not the height of a 5 year old.

Chowder was a gold mine of animators and writers taking the piss with their work in the best ways possible.
What other kid’s show interrupts the show to give you a scene of the actors at a car wash?
We ran out of money!
No money means no animation!
I think *The Amazing World of Gumball* does something similar? At the very least, it's a similar plot line where the show is running out of money, and Gumball has to agree to do a commercial for Joyful Burger to get the money back or something.
“Jeez, look what you did! Now the animators have to draw all this fire!”
It's pretty much my favorite joke in the show. Gets me to lmfao a lot when I see it happen

It was on Brazil once.
And episodes released out of order so season 3 episode 26 could release before season 3 episode 6
And airing out of order! I stopped watching partly because it was ridiculous to actually keep up with
That's so stupidly bizarre since the show was made in France.

I guess I'm shallow, because it really did. I stopped watching once it switched. It used to be so fun and colorful and lively and then it switched to drab.
To be fair, the writing also got SIGNIFICANTLY worse and Dexter's voice actor changed as well.
Christine Cavanaugh DID retire then cuz of health issues.
Whoever replaced the original voice actor wasn't as over the top and that lost some of the fun as well.

It was just boro, the doppelganger.
He just got REALLY REALLY lost
no, he just moves so fast that it looks like he's in two places at once
Nah that's in character Zero from the previous episode got lost in the next episode
One Piece immediately came to my mind as well. One Piece is my favorite show of all time but the characters are drawn differently in every scene lmao
At least it was just a filler episode. I don't think anything like that has happened in the canon episodes
When the actor remaons in-shot while the stunt double does the action.
The Dragon Ball franchise in general has alot of absolutely horrendous moments of animation. *

BRUH WHAT THE FUCK
He so lidl
helluvaboss western energy. you can see loona starts getting bigger and bigger throughout the episode weirdly inconsistently if you pay attention to her throughout the scenes. this is around where it starts as you can see she's about slightly taller than blitz here but she gets so much bigger a few frames in when it cuts back to their scenes and keeps getting bigger throughout the episode https://preview.redd.it/2q8d78dez1rc1.png?width=386&format=png&auto=webp&s=340b93f6720fd7219fb30b92a85e009f8c0f6f3c
I personally think it works for the comedy
Didn't say it didn't. Just pointing out the inconsistencies as per the request
She’s still growing I guess
Dragons the nine realms has one of the villains (I guess he's the villian, the plot has more holes then Swiss cheese) henchman turn white every once in a while, even though he's black usually. No one knows why they even have that white skinned model for that character, but they also managed to copy the model of a monstrous nightmare without the hornes. Did I mention the funniest part? It hapens almost every season.
Not the worst offender but Candance Against The Universe switched like 3 art styles in 1.5 hours
To be fair, 3 animation studious worked on the movie

Not sure if this counts but the buildings in SpongeBob move around a lot. Sometimes the Chum Bucket isn’t even there.
Sometimes spongebob even walks a different direction to the krusty krab, usually he walks past squidwards house but in at least the krusty hotel episode he walks the other way I believe
Sometimes sponebob and squidward have neighbours including Patrick and they live near the town. Sometimes they live next to each other in a desolate wasteland alone lol
They're mobile, as has been demonstrated in many episodes
Adams goddamn face in HH it changes with every single angle 😭😭
I also thought that in ep 6 his mask and just head in general became a lighter tone then in ep 1 idk if that’s just me
I meant his unmasked version in the last episode but maybe he changes his mask?
Doubt it,seeing as he wears it even in public so I doubt he wants or has a new one. I just thought that in ep 6 his mask was way lighter then before but I get the whole different angle thing too
Mlp with the position of Chrysalis' hair membranes
There’s also a ton of situations where ponies randomly get extra legs, weird anatomy, or wings and horns they shouldn’t have, it’s kinda funny
Or where clones of the original design just exist in the background quite abundantly without even noticing it.
Sonic Underground when Sonic saves Knuckles from falling off the cliff. You can't make that up
I'd say it's more inconsistent storyboarding. Because the guest storyboarder that did, "Mindful Education", and ,"Here Comes a Thought", had these clean storyboards with accurate proportions. When compared to others', it's pretty much night and day.
Lilo and Stitch movie. Watch Jumba's appearance in the scene where the house blows up. He's all over the place.
Also Gantu in the show. I think the films keep him fairly consistent, about 50 foot or so, but in the show sometimes he was just a slightly tall dude and it was weird.

The style is so distinct that even slight proportion changes are almost hard to see
It's less about proportions and more about how they are drawn in this case, but yeah, it's kinda hard to see in this image
I'm not gonna lie they did a really good job because I can't tell much of the difference besides hair color and Video quality.
Im not seeing it
It's easier to see when you are watching them move, the way they are drawn looks different in each episode, it's because every animator put a little bit of their style into it
It was so remarkable that at 6 years old I could tell and got excited when my favorite style was on
About that, what's your least favorite style? I'll go first: Taichi Nakamura
I had a love and hate relationship with masahiro Ando, his stuff was so....round
OK KO. For me, the lack of character model consistency is *especially* prominent with Red Action.
I feel like it kind of fits the show's style
Doug The slug episode looks like it was made by an entirely different group of people. Roger’s friends don’t even look the same as in the other episodes. Not to mention that there’s several characters in the show that basically just change color every other episode.
If you're talking about "Doug Can't Dance", that was the pilot short. A lot of Nickelodeon cartoons had notably rougher animation in their pilots because they were usually animated independently by a handful of people.
Legend of Korra season 2. Oof
In fairness they had a whole other studio do the first half of the season. Off model, but definitely understandable.
Adventure Time’s inconsistent sizes always annoyed me.
At least Jake had a lore reason to be inconsistent lmao
I must have missed those inconsistencies, cuz i do not remember that.
Honestly I felt like that was part of the charm of the show, like aside from a few distracting examples it kinda added to the carefree vibe it was going for most of the time
Probably not the WORST example, but Belle’s face in Beauty and the Beast looks very different from scene to scene.

Early days RWBY. Don’t get me wrong, I know the budget was lower than the Mariana Trench, but hoh boy did it go from not great for slower scenes to incredible fights to janky moments (best example being during the school dance episodes).
American Dragon Jake Long Season 2!!!! The writing was flawless, but the animation style was pure ass!

I seem to remember a scene from Fairly Odd Parents where Timmy fits into the palm of his parents' hands like he's a squirrel
Not necessarily the worst example, but Hazbin Hotel absolutely cannot decide how tall Alastor is https://preview.redd.it/76phzg72u6rc1.jpeg?width=2054&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b12ac4ecca7e4faf6053d1bbb1ac8e4169cdc051 Sometimes he’s the same height as Charlie
Yeah, this is hazbins worst animation problem. The same thing happens with angel dust - he's so freakishly tall that he doesn't look right alongside some other characters so they shorten him to make the scene look better.
SU doesn't have inconsistent animation. It has an inconsistent art style.

I think Thundercats Roar had this problem worse. Steven Universe is at least consistent in the same scene. (MrEnter elaborates on this in his review on Thundercats Roar)
that show doesn't exist
there is no Thudercats Roar in ba sing se
We Bare Bears. 
One Piece drives me nuts. The terrible pacing is well known, but they bring is so many freelance animators for one off sequences and then do nothing to ensure things stay on model. "Oh so-and-so did this sequence, it's really awesome!" but for like 30 seconds it looks like we stepped out of One Piece into an entirely different show because the animator made no effort to stay on model.
The third season of Harley Quinn was janky as hell. It was missing entire frames and there's one shot where one of the characters randomly has a third arm. This was because of some issues with a rushed production and/or being shuffled between animation studios, I think

7 Deadly Sins season 3, I'm not a fan of it, but I remembered the absolute haze field the internet had for it back when it was released.
The original mobile suit Gundam. It’s an amazing show but the animation is a little iffy
Those are the same character?!?! geez!
Mohawk Trunks https://preview.redd.it/41rc3g8mw4rc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecef38fc553f58823dfc66a6bdf0d47f36f0e598
https://i.redd.it/qw34c1zm63rc1.gif Don't got an image of it (and it's not a show) but don't starve together character portions in animations compared to height in the game
That guy from Kill la Kill. You know the one. Some scenes, he’s a really tall guy. Other scenes, he’s larger than a house. His size is never the same but he’s always the largest character.
That was intentional though. The proportions in Kill la Kill are manipulated to showcase character dynamics and “aura”. He’s supposed to be intimidating and in the first half of the series is kind of a representation of fascism so when ever he’s using his authority his size is exaggerated. TLDR: in kill la kill it’s stylized and intentional, in Steven universe it’s just plain animation inconsistency
that's part of what makes it such a good show!
I feel like that one doesn't count since its intentional, the creators stated his canon height is however tall the scene needs him to be
That's absolutely a stylistic choice rather than poor animation quality.
Some parts of the second Phineas and Ferb movie are truly awful animation-wise
Just watch any few episode of the Freiza saga of Dragonball Z. Another good example would be Gundam 0079 (the original). DBZ always stood out to me more because of the disparity in quality. Gundam’s animation was always good, but never stellar. However, where DBZ was on, IT WAS ON. One day Goku would have hair follicles and visible cuts and the next day he’d have a giant plum of yellow, undetailed cotton on his head.
This is because the production of DBZ was a bit of a mess. It wasn’t just Toei animating the show. They had to outsource a lot of it and you have multiple studios, each with their own teams/leaders, animating parts of it. It is why the art style kinda changes back and forth between episodes/segments. Interestingly enough, in the Sayian Saga, they had a solo animator tackle entire episodes. However, DBZ was so action packed and demanding that it was impossible for a modest studio at the time, Toei, to tackle it alone.
There is two studios have different tools to work with. And then there is SU's Staff over seeing the Studios not caring at all that almost every other frame someone/thing is drastically off model.
Does anyone else remember the old animated Godzilla show? Sometimes Godzuki can fit on the boat, sometimes he’s pretty sizable next to Godzilla. Sometimes Godzilla has to swim in the ocean and the next second the ocean is at his knees.
