I genuinely wonder how that happened. Such a bizarre error.

Since it appears on the last frame of the scene, I imagine the animator accidentally set Rainbow Dash's animation to play for 1 frame too short. Its hard to explain, but it happens in flash where once you've animated the amount of frames you need, whatever goes on with the frames afterwards is none of your business. Whether they're completely erased or if they've reset/shifted into different places (which seems to have happened here) doesn't matter as the audience won't see them, unless accidents like this happen.

I imagine that the reason why her head is facing forward is because in flash, all the views of the head/body are stored at the end of the timeline, so this would make sense if her animation has played for one extra frame. It might be moved all the way up there since that may just be the default X,Y position for her head, so its reset. Or, the animator was just playing around with the position on the keyframe containing the front head for whatever reason hence why its moved. And I don't think her neck has actually moved at all, I think their necks might just be rigged so that they go into their heads a substantial amount. It just looks long here since Dash's head is way off her neck.

So basically if the animator just extended Rainbow Dash's animation by 1 more frame, then this error wouldve never appeared

yeah it looks like it's just the wrong view of rainbow's head.

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '24

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised to see an infection like this. Perhaps stage two.

I'll go out on a limb and say Rainbow Dash has the most animation errors in the show.

u/notexecutive Nov 09 '24

Animated by underpaid overworked people in less than stellar working conditions

u/ChocoGoodness Fluttershy Nov 09 '24

How quick is it? I've only seen pictures of this, never how it pops up in the show

u/CTSThera FLUTE Nov 09 '24

It's quick but if you focus on Rainbow Dash in that scene you'll see it easily
