Trombones are Never Animated Correctly...

Any other trombone buffoonery out there? Let me know...

Family Guy is known for actually animating their instruments, but in this particular case they may have goofed up?!?! As such I've decided to expose these animators for their trombone buffoonery. Hope you don't mind.

Ngl I'm impressed with how close they got. That's way better than most animated trombones.

As someone who plays trombone, the slide action is definitely odd to watch. But I too throw my trombone at the rear percussion section whenever I finish playing.

[ZipplyZane]

The realistic version actually sounded a lot better than I expected.

“You’re a phony! Hey everyone, this guy’s a big fat phony!!!”

[YhwachTheAlmighty.]

Fun Fact: the “heads up” part was 100% accurate to the source material.

[iAmTaki]

The realistic version made the scene 10 times funnier.

[isaac_aren]

The real question is: Is that a realistic sound of a trombone being thrown against someone?

[soysauce]

Idk why, but the realistic version fits this scene better than the actual one.

As a trombonist, I can confirm that this is how you hit someone with your trombone.

The fact that you kept the joke intact just shows you are a man of integrity. Kudos to you sir!

I've seen: drums are never animated correctly, Guitars are never animated correctly, and Finally Trombones are never animated correctly. Conclusion: instruments are never animated correctly

You forgot to factor in the harmonics of a two-dimensional trombone vs. a three-dimensional trombone. Also, most trombones are made of brass, whereas this one is clearly made of yellow.

[Jabberwockybird]

This was acutally way closer than I expected. It's just off key.

[CorruptedVR]

As a trombonist, I can say this is 99% accurate

[spiffymiddleschooler]

Now we just need someone to make like a mega compilation called "Instruments Are Never Animated Correctly" for people to binge for hours

[SHDW-nfki]

this is one of the rare times where an animated instrument actually TRIES

[Car_bttery]

Changed this comment so people don’t know why it got so many likes

[rustdrift]

As a trombonist 0:28 I can confirm this is what we really want to do with our instruments when we’re done playing

The wrap of this horn literally puts it in like Bass F or Bass Eb. The mouthpiece receiver is a U pipe. That pipe goes near Peter's left hand to the main bell brace where it doubles back forward, and then doubles back to the rear, making what looks like an F trigger attachment, but with no valves and being on the leadpipe itself it is part of the horn. The the main tubing then goes forward into the main slide, comes back up, and into the bell bow and finally out of the bell.

I imagine with that bell flare and the fact this thing is in ~F it should sound more like a slide bass flugelhorn or something.

The two versions really aren’t *that* dissimilar, all things considered. It’s animated about as well as one could reasonably expect in this context.
