God I loved that short as a kid but I haven't seen it in so long. THANK YOU FOR THAT NOSTALGIA TRIP Smears are still really difficult for me. Something I need to work on, usually with timing. Though I think part of it is me knowing it's there makes me think it's more obvious than it is sometimes. But they're fun, and they're always fun to see in other peoples work. It's one reason I like watching MAP parts in slow mo. Thank you for that option youtube
I actually did notice smear frames a lot when I would pause a movie and me and my bro used to make fun of them. Now I know what the purpose of those silly frames are. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video Tennelle.
"look, a runabout, ILL STEAL IT, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!" - Dan Backslide. i knew of this line far before i ever watched this video or knew what it was from, it never fails to make me laugh
You forgot 25fps for us poor European souls. This was a very informative video and I loved watching every frame of it! (Also the new backgrounds are really wonderful)
This was amazing Tennelle. I've never seen this but you did a great job selling it and an AMAZING job talking about smear frames, which is something I've noticed but never thought all that much about. Also your new art is gorgeous! Im gonna need to step my game up BIG TIME if I'm gonna keep up ^_^
Everyone, when Tennelle shows the smear frames for The Dover Boys in slow motion, put the speed of the video at the lowest you can, its actually helpful for finding the smear frames in it ^--^
Hooray for the smear frames video! And thanks for sharing The Dover Boys with us. I never heard of it before, but it was definitely interesting to see you break down and analyze the short as well as give us some of the history behind it. And oh man, those smear frames are gold. I also really like Simmy's new expressions. PS: Great use of natural terrain to dodge copyright content claims. Clever. ;)
Funnily enough, when someone tries to tell me smear frames are “lazy,” or whatever, I always used to point out Looney Tunes and especially Dover Boys and shorts like it as reasons they aren’t. Can you imagine how dead and lifeless this short would have looked without them? In short, thank you for this lovely PSA on why smear frames are awesome.
This was an interesting topic, really cool and silly to think about xD. Plus the new background and poses are awesome. The big shiny eyes are so cute ^3^
As a side note, 25fps is the standard in the UK. At least from what I've seen on my animation degree, that's the one that we're meant to use (I think it's also used across Europe, but I can't be too sure on that one as I haven't done a whole lot of research). Smear frames are awesome though, I've had so much fun drawing them! This was really interesting to watch, thanks!
I also remember seeing that short in class a month or so ago and it's actually super interesting watching some of the early animations pre-Snow White and the other feature films.
Chuck Jones's work on the Tom and Jerry cartoons was where I first really heard of him and it became my favorite style of all the Tom and Jerry variations. I'm trying to incorporate smear frames in my animations now but sheesh it's harder than it looks to make it look right, but in its own way, this video gave me a bit more of an idea on it.
AHH! Your art is so INSPIRING! I took a look at the thumbnail, and the POV of Simmy, with how the face was turned, really inspired be to try it!!! Thanks for existing!!
We watched Dover boys in our animation class and now we randomly bust out into choruses of “I’ll steal it! No One will eVER KNOW” (great video btw! Very informative and interesting to watch)
HAHA I was half-expecting a smear frame of my own to show up. Really in-depth and interesting talk! You explained the purpose and process of smear frames incredibly well! The visuals for the video are really nice as well!
the song playing (at least in the beginning) was in a jerma985 video and it’s giving me flashbacks this is cool as hell though, thanks for makin this video
OMG when you mentioned how that one dude that created The Dover Boys seemed more like a big fat Fuck You to the higher ups at Warner Brothers cracked me up! I never laughed so hard!
Thank you so much for this video! It's helpful to know what the silly frames were all this time haha I should apply them to my animations when I get back to them >w
I actually like the re-animated version of the Dover Boys because it's just that- more animated but good lord does Mel Blanc make that short. Dan Backslide is frickin' hilarious!
Fantastic work! This was such a polished Simmy Speaks episode, you've outdone yourself ^^
I remember watching The Dover Boys when I was a kid lol.
well, it doesnt have to mean that they watched it when it aired, just that they watched it as a kid. :D
@Mareena Doan dude she wasn't even being rude???
My mom showed it to me, it was hilarious.

She's beauty,

Nice
HOW I LOVE HER

CONFOUND THOSE DOVER BOYS
@@humangarbage3019 OH HOW I HATE THEM
She has a profile picture of her gorgeous face
to try and get more sponsors,

"the first shitpost to ever be aired on television."
this isnt ok i read this comment as Tennelle said it in the video.
In my opinion, this needs to be a t-shirt. :)
Nanci Shur'tugal so true
but certainly not the last
It was in theatre
i fU KING SCREAMED WHEN SHE DABBED
Aa
Aaa
Aaaa
Aaaaa
Aaaaaa
"The pupil of your eye can expand as much as 55% while looking at something you love"
well that explains why simmy's pupils were larger XD
*Mentally screams at the beauty of that Garnet smear frame at the beginning*
Its beautiful *sniffles* c;
Majestic
*sigh* wonderful it is
THAT WAS ME
*SCREAMING* *BECAUSE* *CURSED* *SPINEL*
What if I made an animation solely on smear frames? I will do it for you TennelleFlowers! And for all those who acknowledge me.
I acknowledged you. Now...
Bet. :3
yesh
Acknowledged omo

God I loved that short as a kid but I haven't seen it in so long. THANK YOU FOR THAT NOSTALGIA TRIP

SAME THO honestly. Your eye is so trained to your own animation that putting in smears is really hard. I need to work on it myself. ^^;
again with the AWSOMENESS
I have an idea
Just draw the characters *as* literal smears with basic shapes
8:29
Just because you're not gay, doesn't mean you have to be homophobic
XD
*"I HATE DICK."*
LMFAO
I read this comment in confusion, then skipped to the part.
Wow. I-
*wow*
I can’t- 😂
It threatens his pride for his big… long… protruding…

so true
LZRD WZRD you are so true Tennelle you art and your Simmy Speaks are amazing
Character animation looks different
Your not that far behind just think of it as having your own 'style'
GingerPale uses smear frames

OH HO HO I'm so sneaky. >;Dc
ahhhhhh that was so good! I havnt seen this short before either so Im gonna check it out. It was funny. Some real good examples of smears shown.
Thanks, as a beginner animator who's only been using smear frames for a couple months, this was really helpful!
Me at school: Your bra strap is showing
Me at animation school: Your smear frames are showing
Lmaooo underrated

I've actually learned a lot about smears just by watching MAP parts in slow-mo, it's very entertaining ~
7:44 *SHE DAB*
Oh you used the new poses for Simmy! They're so pretty!
We need a smear-heavy warriors MAP. Or a MAP that's a recreation of Dover Boys but with warriors or something xD Like the Moon Animate Makeup project
There's a reanimated version of Dover Boys now
Why do I feel like I’m the only Warriors fan that doesn’t know what a MAP is. I’m confused
@@princerufioh Multi animator project. Where multiple animators work on one big animation in different parts, if that makes sense.
This was an interesting topic, really cool and silly to think about xD. Plus the new background and poses are awesome. The big shiny eyes are so cute ^3^
As a side note, 25fps is the standard in the UK.

Oh really? I wasn't aware of that. :O That would explain why UK animation always felt a bit different somehow.
I love smears but they are difficult XD thank you for this beautiful video
2 year old video: alright so smear frames are-
cursed spinel smear frames:
Chuck Jones's work on the Tom and Jerry cartoons was where I first really heard of him and it became my favorite style of all the Tom and Jerry variations.
I'm trying to incorporate smear frames in my animations now but sheesh it's harder than it looks to make it look right, but in its own way, this video gave me a bit more of an idea on it.
Smear frames are the definition of the scary part of animation(other than playing the audio in slow motion, like, really slow lmao)
AHH! Your art is so INSPIRING! I took a look at the thumbnail, and the POV of Simmy, with how the face was turned, really inspired be to try it!!! Thanks for existing!!
We watched Dover boys in our animation class and now we randomly bust out into choruses of “I’ll steal it! No One will eVER KNOW” (great video btw! Very informative and interesting to watch)
I watched a part of this on the slowest speed I could get and OH BOY HOW MANY FABULOUS SMEAR FRAMES I SAW!
I'm eating M&Ms
At 7:10 I was dying. Tennelle.. you are one of my favorite youtubers. And I think you deserve more subs
That thumbnail had me in tears, I-
If only the spinel battle was here.....
There's some really nice squash and stretch here too. It's cool how the smear frames are actually used to emphasize it sometimes.
And if you want something very visually driven, and has a classic Loony Toons vibe, Wander Over Yonder is great.
HAHA I was half-expecting a smear frame of my own to show up. Really in-depth and interesting talk! You explained the purpose and process of smear frames incredibly well! The visuals for the video are really nice as well!
I love to watch animations, but I knew nothing about them. Now I do, thank you so much :)
the song playing (at least in the beginning) was in a jerma985 video and it’s giving me flashbacks
this is cool as hell though, thanks for makin this video
**Steven Universe Movie comes out**
Literally everyone: sMeAr FrAmEs
This was awesome to hear! I never knew about this. Thanks!
The art in this is so freshhhhh ahhh I love it
I love how he screams out his plan in front of her finances
Lately I've been looking into classic Disney and Looney Tunes styles. This really helped on the Looney Tunes part!
Hilarious too XD
It's in public domain? I'LL STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
I have a talent of stopping at the right time when I pause a movie or a video and stop in a smear frame
Your new emotions o0o I lav them!
There should be a smear frame MAP, maybe a 72 hour one or a month map where everyone is forced to crank out that sweet sweet speedy animation!
I love smear frames. You get to draw something stupid between serious frames and it creates something beautiful
2:40 OH MY GOSH IM GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES
dan backslide looks JUST like my uncle dear god
"ABSOLUTLEY FABULOUS"-Mettaton the robotDEFINITELY true quote
Thank you for making this, that was great. :D
I love how Dan Backslide is almost entirely smears and holds, but his lip-sync is SO overdone that you feel every muscle in his face when he talks. XD
Me, someone who knows what smear frames are and why theyre needed: Hey! A video on a topic I've never heard of before!
“…and the Disney team pulled it off-“
I GOT AN AD THAT WAS JUST LIKE “Perfect. And perfect again.”
When you mentioned Cats Don't Dance every song in the movie played in my head
i like how ever since this video every single dover boys ytp has abused the ever living hell out of the smear frames in it.
"I HATE DICK"
I know hes saying Richard, chill.
But still, its pretty funny-
7:28 I spat out my lemonade
OH MY GOSH WHEN SHE DABBED THO!!!
This was very informative. I guess it’s time for me to try some animation with Smear Frames.
8:05 pause then press
If you pause it at 9:14 the smear frame is amazing
Smear frames could make memes
The screaming of "NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!" _kills_ me 😂😂😂
This is the top rule of animation
*smear frames*
Ooh, this was really interesting and informative! :D
Keep up the good work!
I see new Simmy Speaks art. . . !
;-; I kinda liked cats don't dance but when I wanted to watch it a second time my sister said it was boring XD
This is really educational and helped me understand animations and video games :3 thank youu!
A Runabout-- I'LL STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW! --Classic comedy.
XD tenelle I love your simmy speaks videos so much
6:42
Others: You are not funny and we will fire u >:O
Chuck: *hold my beer*
I laugh at my own smear frames smh
8:17 the bestest smear frame ever
Thanks Tenelle! This helped me a lot! I'm a learning animator and this helped me understand smear frames a lot more! Thanks!!
HOLY HECK THAT SHORT MADE ME CRY xD
Also what controversy do you mean?
This is such a cool topic! I really need to look more into smear frames and try it out sometime ^^ keep up the awesome videos
After watching this five times, (yes, five.) I can see the smear frames so easily!
SIMMYYYYY YOU GOT ME TO LOVEEE THE DOVER BOYSSS THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH
The pinkish salmon color of his collar and cuffs makes it look likes he’s wearing a green mask and gloves
OMG when you mentioned how that one dude that created The Dover Boys seemed more like a big fat Fuck You to the higher ups at Warner Brothers cracked me up! I never laughed so hard!
The Dover Boys started dabbing
EVERYTIME I RANDOMLY PAUSE WHILE WATCHING A VIDEO WITH ANIMATION AND I SEE A SMEAR FRAME I LOSE IT
**cursed images flashbacks**
7:09 shoves down stairs
*"IM GOING TO STEAL THIS CAR!!"* Nobody will ever know...
0:03 G A R N E T
"A runabout, I'll steal it! *NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!!* "
I fricking love Old Cartoons. They Inspire me so much, normally these days the cartoons kinda are a disgrace. (Depending On which ones obviously.)
Oh my. Thats alot to take in. Poor Dora xD
Smear frames are a gift in the animation world
Thank you so much for this video! It's helpful to know what the silly frames were all this time haha
I should apply them to my animations when I get back to them >w
"All 3 of them are her fiance"
*WE STAN POLY DORA LETS GOO*
I actually like the re-animated version of the Dover Boys because it's just that- more animated but good lord does Mel Blanc make that short. Dan Backslide is frickin' hilarious!
I know this is late but-
0:04
Nobody:
Candice: *wHooSh*
holly shit she DABBED!!
