if all animation were perfect we
wouldn't have hot dogs hey everyone I'm
Rebecca and welcome to watchmojo.com ick
name that means we're looking at those
little animation glitches and errors in
one of our favorite Cartoon Network
shows including the original series the
TV movie and the spin-off epilogue now
some of these are easy to miss and
forgivable but others aren't hilariously
embarrassing to look back on also
because a lot of these happen at the
middle of climactic moments in the show
a spoiler alert is now in effect alright
let's check it out number 10
garnets missing forearm you're not the
only one with surprises after reuniting
with his friends on homeworld Steven
thinks he may finally have the solution
on how to bring the diamonds together so
it seems like everything will be okay
right well except for one minor issue
while garnet is listening to Steven's
plan one of her forearms is missing
everything this goof might be easier to
dismiss because our favorite fusion has
her arms crossed but taking into account
the color of her sleeves it's easier to
see that the forearm is completely gone
to be fair though she seems too busy
listening to Stephens plan to notice her
misplaced limb I'm gonna throw a huge
ball everyone number nine the cabinets
in here yes to get Steven to participate
in Steven tag garnet tricks him into
checking one of the cabinet's where
amethyst awaits to spring a surprise tag
attack however pay close attention to
the cabinet's during the intercut
between Steven and garnet in one frame
the cabinet's have regular knobs but in
another frame they have curved handles
instead we already know the gems have
shape-shifting powers but apparently the
beach house has inherited the same
abilities since the handles don't even
come close to matching Steven may be too
busy frantically trying to survive the
game to notice but we can't unsee this
weird continuity error
[Music]
number eight spinel x' pov it's horrible
to think about how spinel has been
waiting for pink diamonds return for
thousands of years only to finally move
after seeing Stephens message to the
universe however there's something off
about the perspective of when she first
learns the truth when we get the first
glimpse of her in the opening she's seen
facing the broadcast as much as I love
dismantling the empire and saving all
your planet I can't wait home and spend
some quality time with my friends yet
during spinel z' POV flashback we see
that she was facing away from the
communicator during the message and
actually had to turn and run towards it
finally something finally knew the
continuity error is a little drawing
from a critical point of view but the
tense emotion of the scene more than
makes up for it number seven the
disappearing box steven is excited to
show off his new cheeseburger backpack
fresh out of the box to the gems and
possibly take it out on a mission
because I can help carry for you in this
however if you pay close attention
between the two wide shots of Steven
introducing the backpack and then
preparing for the mission you'll notice
that something goes missing but this is
obviously important gem business the box
that the blessed backpack came in just
vanishes into thin air never to be seen
for the rest of the episode I can fit a
lot more stuff in you give me a minute
we get that the Box served its purpose
and isn't needed anymore but it's kind
of unsettling to think of a prop just
vanishing out of the blue after it's
done being useful it's also not good for
continuity either number six spinel x'
crooked heart
[Music]
poor spinel being abandoned by pink
diamond really turned her life and her
heart-shaped gemstone upside down
however during her and Stephens final
battle when she yells at Steven to stop
singing you can see that her gem is
right side up again just can't it won't
ya no spinel may defy the laws of
physics with her cartoony antics but
we're fairly certain that a gemstone is
locked in place until the gem changes
her form or regenerates after taking too
much damage either way it seems weird
that she'd briefly readjust her heart
back into its original position
just before she tries to punch Stevens
legs out when you change number five dr.
Stevens gloves so how would you like
your magical spit administer today a
good medical professional should always
have rubber gloves handy especially when
administering magical healing spit when
dr. Steven goes to Pearl for advice on
how to heal pink pearls crack he can
still be seen wearing a pair of gloves
however there's a brief moment where his
gloves disappear only to reappear in the
following shot for the rest of the scene
she was moms I mean the pink diamonds
pearl - a long time ago and pearl you
remember pearl she was also pink
diamonds pearl
that's too many pearls it seems like
Steven couldn't decide between taking
them off or leaving them on so the
artists decided for him by forgetting to
paint them on for a moment yeah you know
it's not like they helped with healing
pink pearl scars but it's a lot more
hygienic with the gloves than without
them number four return of OG amethyst
what well you barely changed whenever a
gem regenerates after being pooped they
regenerate with an entirely new outfit
by this episode
amethyst studs consisted of a black tank
top and mold leggings
however in sworn to the sword for one
single shot amethyst is donning her
original outfit move top black leggings
and a single draw strap showing she
wants Connie to do all this dangerous
stuff for me that makes sense on the one
hand it's only been one episode since
amethyst SRI generation so it must have
taken a bit for the change to set in on
the other hand
newah tea is a fragile thing so artists
really have to be careful about
backpedaling like this even if it was
for a short instance you okay did number
three bismuth missing pants when it
comes to animation goofs this next one
means serious bismuth after giving them
their upgraded weapons bismuth and the
crystal gems engage in a little sparring
session however in one shot after
bismuth blocks an attack her pants
disappear I don't recall asking you to
bring me a spear
you know gems can magically change their
clothes at the drop of a hat but to lose
your pants in the middle of a brawl is a
little impractical what's even funnier
is that bismuth pants actually vanish
earlier in the episode as well but here
it's a lot more obvious we thought you
had been captured or worse
to be fair it's not uncommon to slip up
when colouring for a fast-paced brawl
but it's still embarrassing to pause and
look back at number two Ruby's missing
gem has any Steven universe fan knows a
gems gemstone is the main source of
their physical body but what happens
when said gem goes missing our Ruby's
gem is embedded on her left palm and yet
throughout the episode hid the diamond
her gem is either not drawn in or
disappears in between shots in fact in
one instance you actually see her
gemstone for almost a second and then it
randomly vanishes in the same shot oh we
get the gem stones are hard to draw
sometimes it's hard to just get the
facets right but without them our
favorite gems cannot physically exist
this is why artists should try to be a
little more careful with this one detail
flow now I just want to be clear that
just because we're pointing out these
animation errors does not mean we love
to show any less or that we're calling
it bad in any way however number one is
objectively the most noticeable so let's
look through some honorable or
dishonorable mentions and then we'll see
if the number one Steven universe
animation error is one you picked up on
you think that you see
[Music]
I'm coming into view as the world is
turning haven't you noticed I made it
this far now everyone can see me burn
thanks but I really gotta go
what a steam I disbanded my armies I've
liberated my colonies they never
shattered this first sounds a special
request from Stevie this is gotta bring
pearls memories back it's all about
quitting it crummy service job what is
this please enjoy it I'm begging you

notifications number one this star goes
missing how can you do this to me
because we love you Steven a lot of
these errors have been minor slip-ups
but taking the number one spot is the
mistake we cannot overlook the gems have
just shown off their parental abilities
which makes Connie's parents more
comfortable with Steven hanging out with
their daughter so happy ending right
well except for one thing the star on
stephen's shirt disappears
it isn't obscured by anything like
Stephens arms it's just completely gone
for one whole shot and I see that you
are responsible parents to caregivers
guardians what makes this so inexcusable
is because the star is a trademark for
the series Steven shirts the crystal
gems insignia even the series iris out
all have stars in them if there's no
star to represent we're not even sure
what show this is if all animation were
perfect we wouldn't have hot dogs hey
