Line boil is the wobble of hand-drawn lines, particularly noticeable when characters are redrawn in every frame even though they are standing still. Limited Animation deals with line boil by using the same drawing for parts of the character that aren't moving and only re-drawing the parts that move. As usual, Tropes Are Tools. Early 20th century animators considered line boil an imperfection; characters constantly moving around when they're supposed to be stationary can very easily come off as sloppy animation. But on the other hand, deliberately attempting to avoid line boil can have the opposite effect and make characters seem frozen in place like statues, and so line boil and other types of wobbling and jittering can be purposely used or even exaggerated to add a bit more life to characters even when they're standing still. |

1914's Gertie the Dinosaur, also by McCay, features it in the background, as the entire drawing had to be retraced for every frame. McCay actually liked the effect, as the unsteadiness of the lines seemed to make the whole scene come alive. | |
