Things going on in the Background

[aliena]

This is sort of a fluff post, so forgive me. But I have really been picking up on cool things going on in the background of each episode. These are things that you might not see without repeat viewing or freezing the frames. I think it admirable that they do this when they really don't need to. I think it shows that they do care and are probably doing this for the fans.

For example Raph has been seen several times adjusting himself. One time he adjusted his out of place knee pad and another time his belt. It isn't necessary to the story, nor is it pointed out by any other character, so by doing this it makes Raph feel more real to me.

These are just a few examples. I think in an episode with the Mutanimals there is a lot going on in the background, but you have to freeze the frames to pick them up. Does anyone know of any cool background scenes that are worth mentioning? I'm having fun looking for new things each viewing.

Thats one reason why I like this version so much. They throw in little details that someone might do irl, even when they're not in the main focus. Their expressions are all different with how they react to something and there always seems to be one or two things that they're doing "off camera" that you can catch if you watch closely.

This is the sort of benefit you get with CGI, & what makes so many of us who woulda preferred the show be 2D, forget all about those woes.

For background animation and details (realistically rustling leaves, swaying branches, translucent soap, etc. etc. etc.) that will completely blow your mind, watch some earlier Disney (1930's -50's).
No cartoon of any type since has come anywhere even close.
