Is it just me, or does this whole clip here just feel different? Like, genuine brother vibes. Maybe its the way they animated it. With Chris up in the tree looking down at Martin being silly. It's not as flat(?) as other episodes. We actually got some depth here instead of the brothers just standing next to each other.
Their models weren't as ridged. Chris's face moves in 3D! Multiple times! And in both horizontal and vertical directions, with changing facial expressions. And Martin's subtle movements with the monkey on him, and when it jumps off. Am i being a bit crazy atm? Probably. But idk, this episode was just... more!
Also, Chris was breathing. After his laugh fest, he was actually BREATHING! I immediately noticed his chest moving up and down and I was a bit freaked out about it. It caught me off guard. But it was really refreshing to see some actual movement that wasn't just the whole model. Some secondary motion was going down!
This whole episode just by itself is just gorgeous! Animation wise and color. They really saturated the colors so they would pop more with the black and white. (Oh no, brain, don't you do it. Not another fic idea!)
And this. This is just so wrong.
