SpongeBob's outline has his Season 1 stock day color, I guess they messed up in the pallete tab in Toonz Premium

aight so im new to this thread but uh
imma start things off with a moviebob study
for some reason i seem to be fascinated with moviebob, particularly its use in early season 4. you can obviously tell the crew is experimenting here, hence why the style tends to shift alot in the 2004 produced episodes. shell of a man in particular has what i like to call 'style schizophrenia', as spongebob goes back and forth between his pre-movie and movie design seemingly at random. have you seen this snail seems to be a bit more consistent though, as the change in style happens roughly midway through.

Speaking of which, the animated sequences during the patchy segments in Christmas Who have normal animation:
It's even cubebob just like the actual episode. Strange, given the fact that the season 2 specials maintain the same art style during animated sequences in the patchy segments, despite the patchy segments usually having different production codes than the actual episodes.
Here's a chart with all the pre-movie specials and their production codes; Bold is patchy
Christmas Who. 5571-155, 5571-153
Party Pooper Pants. 5572-204, 5572-205
Ugh. 5572-208, 5572-220
The Sponge Who Could Fly. 5572-217, 5572-219
Notice how Christmas Who is the only pre-movie special that not only has normal animation during the patchy segments but it's also the only one with patchy segments that were produced before the actual episode.

Off topic, but I found this cel from dexter's lab. Looks like the background color and the glowing were added in post. His hair color is different in the actual episode vs. the cel. Same with his shadow too.

SpongeBob’s shade of yellow looks normal to me in both pictures.
That screenshot from ‘Imitation Krabs’ has very bold outlines and coarse backgrounds. Typical characteristics of early digital animation.

His shade of yellow is normal, but the rest colors are darker and a bit saturated

Sheesh, the second one (I think from Bossy Boots) it's soooooooo damn similar to Season 1 that I was think was from season 1
