Count Duckula

When viewing the episode ' No sax please, we're Egyptian' I noticed an error in the illusion of depth. Count Duckula was stood behind a stone tomb yet when he began to dance one of his legs appeared in front of the tomb. From looking at the scene I guess that this happened because it looks as though the tomb, dispite being in the foreground, was painted as part of the background. In order for it to look correct part of Count Duckula's foot should have been missing from the drawing to give the illusion of it being behind the tomb.













I guess this just goes to show how careful I will need to be when planning an animation.
