House 1977 has not one but two horses featured over its 88 minute runtime.

First, one that’s easy to miss is this small horse outside of the shoesmaker’s workshop seen here next to Mr. Togo’s car. (And sharing the scene with director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s daughter Chigumi Obayashi, a cowriter of this film.)

This horse is shown a second time when Mr Togo returns to use the shoesmaker’s phone a few beats later.

Now I could forgive you for considering this to be a pony as it’s quite small and therefore not quite fulfilling the horse quota. But what I can’t forgive is blatantly ignoring this

The beautiful white horse featured in one of the most iconic moments of the film, Fantasy’s fantasy about being rescued by Mr Togo in which she imagines him riding in on a white stallion to save her from the titular House.

The moonlight hit Jack’s shimmering eyes, and Hiccup felt as if his body had been frozen. He opened his mouth and the first thing that came out was a sheepish laugh. Jack’s smile widened, and in the next moment they were both laughing. Toothless made an exasperated noise, which just made them dissolve into giggles all over again. - Chapter 20

A lot of yall ask me about hands specifically, so I'm using them as an example

Step one: dump a big blobby lump vaguely in the shape and location the thing should be

Step two: erase whatever looks like it doesn't belong there

Step three: refine and profit

I personally have a really hard time with forced perspective and foot positioning so this is super handy for that, and like... people sitting cross-legged, or with folded arms, or pointing something towards the pov.
