Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

James Baxter’s 2D animation in ‘The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball’ new episode.

I’m not saying these things are bad! There’s just a compulsion among animators (myself included!) to dial them up to the point where they dominate, rather than support, the action.

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
