..but I find it intreguing.

DO you notice how on 1980's cartoons the characters will ALWAYS speak out of the wrong person's mouth... For example, if Super Mario says "I guess not" it would come out of Luigi's mouth. (BTW, it happens like hell in the first 2 Mario cartoons by DIC. If you have the SMBSS box set, check out Hooded Robin. That episode has it the worst)

What causes this? And don't say laziness. Here are my 2 theories:

1) The Storyboard wasn't labeled properly, causing the animators to have the wrong person to say the wrong thing.

2) Since they were mostly animated overseas, a lot of voices sounded the same, and the animators, not familiar with English, assumedd the wrong character spoke out of the wrong mouth.
