They look more like a flaw than intentional effects.Definitely agree.
I would rule out the standard procedure of washing and reusing animation cels (a cost saving measure) being involved in such an anomaly. If so, it would affect other colors. However, I don’t see it on the adjoining skin. More likely there was some other-color reside (or too much water) still on the brush or in the paint container to affect green painting across a group of cels.
Does anything show immediately before or after this shot, but nowhere else, for just this color?
I’m not sure I understand your question. I’ve never seen the 1990 release in its entirety so I don’t know if that splotchy appearance occurs anywhere else.
I still can’t help but think it has something to do with an optical effect used to create Tink’s glow… but the 2002 SE isn’t supposed to be a restoration, so you’d think if that were in the master it would still be visible.
Maybe it’s from the transfer itself?
