[Unicornia Wings 16]

What are the animation errors you ponies noticed? The duck overlapped Rainbow Dash.

The only one I caught on my own was the cyclops pony in The Best Night Ever.

Well Rainbow Dash became, Rainbow Duck

The one where they are standing on the station and the flows an extra Twilight tail.  Thats one I find myself.

well, there is the "luna cutie mark" vase in A Royal Problem that is only visible in closeup, and not in the long shots?

s01e02, near the end, celestia's legs disappear while talking to luna

same episode, not long after, celestia's tail is layered on top of her and her cutie mark so it looks like it's coming out of the sun

My favorite one is in the episode Owls Well That Ends Well, when everyone is watching the metor shower, Scootoo with Sweetie Belles voice just says for no reason "once"!

Thats flash animation for you. Using layers and vector sprites

I'm surprised no one posted this yet.

I'll mention a couple that I've noticed myself. They're not particularly memorable, but I haven't seen anyone else mention these anywhere.

In "Spice Up Your Life", during the "It's Gonna Work" song, look at the yellow unicorn. His cutie mark is moving a lot on his flank, going under the straps on his overalls, and the yellow on his coat actually covers said straps for a few frames! It's at 0.20 in the embedded video.

Spoiler

 

In "Uncommon Bond", when Sunburst is talking to Trixie near the end, the white stripe on his face disappears. I think I saw this also happen in "Shadow Play" a couple of times, but this is the most noticeable occurrence.

Not sure that is an error. The unicorn is walking, and the cutie mark is on the hind upper thigh, so moves with that as they walk. the first strap is z-ordered above, but the second z-ordered below that leg, so is sometimes concealed by it. That could be reasonable; if the first strap is floating, but the second is tight against the fur between the leg and the torso, it wouldn't be wrong.

Yup, that's messed up

Our favorite muffin-loving mailmare counts, right?

Looking at it again, I think you're right. I still think it looks a bit weird, probably because the straps stay so still as he's walking. But not really an error after all.

Don't know if this counts but you can see this at 3:40 in the corner of "read it and weep".

They accidently animated Twilght with wings during and after “Magical Mystery Cure.” They still haven’t noticed it and fixed it.

Oh, and this happened too.

You guys are missing the most famous one of all. Supposedly, Derpy is cock-eyed because the animator messed up her first appearance
