the wongs morphing ranch

[on:]

I noticed this when pulling reference shots of the wong's porch featured in "Where The Buggalo Roam," and just thought I'd share.

In the first sequence there's a doorbell and the mail slot is in the engraved part of the door:


and towards the end of the episode you can see the door is different and the doorbell's gone in this shot towards the end of the episode (right before zoidberg is tossed out):


I thought it was odd that they bothered redrawing it and didn't just paint the same background two different times.

EDIT: also the support beams are colored differently.

Wow that is a blooper mate well done, maybe they changed it to make it easier in the animation of Zoidberg being thrown out????

I never noticed that,but your right,that's a blooper.

Why is the doorknob so low on the second door?
Or could it just be the angle from which we are looking at it?

Uhm... Front door and back door, maybe?

They're rich enough to have their porch and front door changed any time they want.

hah, here's yet another; the doorknob's on the wrong side (not to mention the boarder at the top is huge):


Also the wongs do have a back porch (with a swing!):


Also, this isn't a mistake but I found it interesting and since I'm already sharing all these other framegrabs...

I'm making a night shot of the ranch and I wanted to make an accurate and unique moon -I hadn't even realize they already did.  Their animators were fairly acurate in there dipiction of mars, in many shots you can see both it's moons:


"...they are very irregular in shape. Phobos is 27 km long in its longest dimension and Deimos is 15 km long in its longest dimension. Both are cratered and orbit the planet in rather low orbits. Phobos is only about 3000 miles above the Martian surface and orbits in a little over 7 hours (thus it makes more than 3 orbits in a single Martian day). Deimos is a little further out and orbits in about 30 hours."

that this house was the idea to the Wong's ranch has been pointed out quite often here on PEEL
