@Daz said in Disney animation thread:
I watched the MacBeth episode too and didn't notice too much disparity besides some slightly goofy expressions,
They've touched it up over the years, the version currently available is a lot better than it was. When they first got the footage in, they had to send it back for "reshoots"... but the show was already airing.
But since it was the follow up to Deadly Force it HAD to air next so they got seven weeks of reruns.
The version that then aired was very... Rescue Rangers esque. Like MacBeth pulls a GIANT remote control out of his coat at one point.
But even my novice untrained eye, with no internet to know the behind the scenes details, noticed it was improved later. I still have a VHS tape with the original airing back home. Haven't watched it in 28 years and its probably garbage quality by now if I even had a VCR to check it on but...
They learned a lesson from then on and they never had direct continuity between two episodes again unless it was a multiparter. Consequences would absolutely keep happening and carrying over, but they tried to keep a few episodes inbetween a specific thing coming up again, and generally used the multiparters as their tentpoles to decide the break points.
They still stuck some in some minor continuity carry over along the way despite the mandate.
Gah,I'm so jealous of the journey ahead of you. I wish I could watch the show for the first time as an adult. Instead of a hundred times as a kid.
