The smears being made out of lego is one of my favorite things about this movie. What an amazing touch.

Y'know they actually built that as a model right?
It's not due to interpolation.
Austin Morris
I've actually gone through the film, and this is the only one that actually looks like there was some secondary software used.

Aladdin has a bunch of funny ones. There was once a full thread full of images of how fucked up in between frames from Aladdin looked
I wanted to save them all but the thread was on page 15 and 404ed before I could bump it. The archives also didn't archives images back then so I was totally fucked.

Why are smears the easiest way to point out shit animators?

Tweening is way better.
Andrew Sanders
This is a smear presumably drawn by Hayao Miyazaki back when he was still animating for the first Lupin series.

tweening is the cheap shitty way for animating. inbetweens are part of a more traditional way of doing things. it makes everything look and flow a lot better than the blocky movement of tweening.

I am animator. I tried both and my conlcusion is: Tweening is too mechanic. Smearing feels more organic. So I tend to go for organic characters with smearing movements.

Ryan Wright
I dont animate my self but I do find it fascinating. I have to agree. tweening is cheap effective way to bust out cheap cartoons fairly quickly with puppet rigs and shit.. but traditional animation with smear frames and what not always looks so much more impressive and fun to watch by comparison.

Yeah,because the film is stop motion, anytime you see a smear frame with more than face, it's because they 3d-printed a model with two faces specifically for that one frame.
Laika know their shit.

Going back on my analysis from earlier, "Paranorman" has about 21 scenes dedicated to making atleast one "smear model" for the animation to work.
Then there's those sequences at the end of the movie when the ghost is going crazy,which has too many "smear models" for me to count.

I'm pretty sure that's just a couple of animation errors.

Mason Garcia
One of the sequences where they use these models here
Brody Wright
I got more, but they're from the same sequences posted above (Maybe some left out).
I already posted all of the frames I found in Zootopia, but I got more from Hotel Transylvania 2.
Nicholas Bailey
Does smear have multiple meanings or does it mean different things in Western animation and anime? I've always associated the term with this effect.
Angel Ortiz
Same, it feels more energetic and emotional
Levi Hill
Made in Heaven
Ryan King
why are these so hilarious out of context?
James Hughes
It really just depends on where the animator places it, but it really does have different meanings in both Western and Eastern animation.
Basically, if there's a serious animator, they will do smears seriously and naturally (small multiples, trails (like in your picture)). A funny animator will do smears hilariously (heavy multiples, elongated poses, takes).
Daniel Carter

Dominic Morales
To help explain, here's a diagram that I took from Twitter.
The top half represents the more natural animator (portrays life very accurately) and the bottom half are funny animators (exaggerated drawings, stretches).
This still applies today. One of the Zootopia smears I've posted in this thread has two smears that happen in one sequence (Judy landing and getting up). Zootopia probably has only 4 dedicated smear frames (from what I counted) without the need of relying on secondary software like motion blur or stretching the body part.
So, finding two in one sequence in a serious movie quite rare (and done by the same animator).
