tbh, i love the art style so much here... wish that gumball and darwin always looked like this... however I am not a fan of the over animation at the end. Still, i get it was for the joke XD

Tbf alot of animation exaggerates on purpose and thats part the appeal and fun of it for people. Most animation i feel is meant to defy reality and physics for a reason (toony slap stick humor or simply depends on the animation style). But its fair if some arent into it.

Yeah, I'm not saying that the animation was bad, just that it got overused to the point that it irritates me. I STILL have trouble sitting all the way through "Aladdin" without wanting to strap all the characters to a gurney just to see if they could move their mouths without their heads wagging.

I love it. Thank you!

Yes. That's it. That is the most accurate description of how this show handled "Sakuga" animation and I love it.

This is the nerdiest animation flex ever

"Im scared to turn my head to check" 😂😂😂

James Baxter "Everyone's favorite animator to abu....I mean hire."

"Hey James can you over animate an animation 101 final in 60 seconds?" James, cracking his knuckles: " I'll do it in 30"

I will over-animate 'till I DIE 😅

while I get that this is exaggerated for comedic effect (and its hilarious) I do often have to reference animations to show what people 'What Not To Do' because Im so sick of the bouncey wobbley jauntiness I see in so much modern animation

yeah I'm not saying that either lol. more like as you said, its a compulsion not really a fetish plus that also depends on the perspective, and wants of the animator usually doing super smooth animation in moderation helps better than having it all the time

Oh my GOSH, they over exaggerated the exaggeration to sublimely exaggerated levels! That's glorious XD "Ooo, boingy ears and walk! Not very Gumball but it's cute. Wait. Why are they jello. OHHHHH" It's just so askdfd Artist Joke I love it

That fucked up bounce at the end is so specifically animator funny

Yes! It only bugs me a that there's clearly a setup to this punchline before this scene, but every clip i see is this cut that doesn't include it!

I love that it really only works if you get someone as indescribably talented as James Baxter to handle it. It's beautiful.

It gets funnier everytime I swear!

The walk cycle too 😂

'Funny in the nerdiest way' really sums up Gumball as a show

Really hoping this episode wins awards because it is so intentional. Same for the whole show reboot. A master's class in animation and using it as a catalyst for character dev and storytelling.

GUMBALL IS BACK?????

Animation this smooth adds years to my life.

Getting "It's a wonderful day for pie" vibes.

Go home, physics engine, you're drunk. AND TAKE THAT RICHARD WILLIAMS BOOK WITH YOU!

Gunball.. 🤭

No one's mentioned that the music is super overdone too, as an extra joke.
