Off-Model: Difference between revisions

However, [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. Cartoonist [[John Kricfalusi]] has repeatedly stated that "staying on model is only for wimps and communists", or more subtly, if you don't break the character's model to emphasize some emotions, it'd be just as good done live action. Squash and stretch can be considered off-model, but it is one of [[The Twelve Principles of Animation]]. The result of staying true to off-model animation is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6KjNmN2BA fantastic]{{broken link}}, in Kricfalusi's case. [[Walt Disney Animation Australia]], [[Carbunkle Cartoons]] and [[Star Toons]] are also examples. However, their use of it is [[Depending on the Artist]] taken [[Up to Eleven]], rather than accidental off model.

See also [[Uncanny Valley]] and [[Deranged Animation]]. Contrast [[Animation Bump]], where the animation is suddenly much ''better'' made than usual. Compare [[Special Effect Failure]], a similar trope, but with live action (and with animation that mixes more than one form of it). For animation studios that screw up constantly unintentionally, see [[AKOM]], [[Studio DEEN]], [[Dong Woo Animation]], [[Studio Shaft]], [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]], [[Actas]], [[Tokyo Kids]],<ref>or at lest when the studio is outsourcing for TMS</ref> and [[Toei Animation]] (mainly their unit the [[The Philippines]]).<ref>unlike the others listed, they still have a reasonable fanbase</ref> For a studio whose supporters and critics often argue about whether their animation is this, see [[Kennedy Cartoons]].
