His right eye was also drifting away a bit, so I centered that and pushed up his mouth more to empathize the bottom of his chin.
You can really see the difference here
Does it work? That’s up to y’all. I always thought he was hot 🤷♀️

I would appreciate a reblog perhaps
EDIT: after some deranged nut operating on moon logic accused me of somehow contributing to corporate injustice against artists and spitting in the face of the animators who worked on this scene, I am forced to state that THIS WAS JUST FOF FUN. I’m not saying this edit is better than the original or that the movie gets bad marks on craftsmanship, I just wanted to share a silly photoshop edit. Dear god.
