It is possible to show errors in animation by removing matting. Most 35mm animation cameras in the pre-digital era were designed to shoot the 3x4 ratio used for older movies and TV shows. When pulled back to take in a widescreen field, areas outside of the “live” screen area can be included. I recently read that in unmatted form, the “Pink Panther” cartoons show the cameraman’s hand jittering around from frame to frame as he presses the button to expose each drawing! Numbers and notes written on the edges of cels and backgrounds are also visible.
