Episode 27 - Churro Overload/Mini Mercado Of Doom
I've said it before, and I can't say it enough: A great storyboard with great posing and staging = great animation. Especially now, when animators are just working directly from the boards without the benefit of the *traditional 'layout' stage to finesse the posing in each scene.
*(Ask you grandfather. Or me).
Nothing is a better example of this than Greg Colton's board for 'Churro'. Let's face it; it's a pretty standard premise, and on first look we were like...'oh great, another generic script a writer we've never heard of had lying around'. This is exactly where the series needed a great artist to step up and take control. Just look at these poses...
We never got too much feedback from WB Animation about the episodes, as the execs were mainly concerned whether or not the network - Kids' WB - was happy. But this is the first episode that WBA really started raving about the show. So much so that El Prez himself, Sander Schwartz, requested a copy and was delighted by it.
