Line boil is the inevitable wobble of hand-drawn lines, particularly noticeable when characters are redrawn in every frame even though they are standing still. Early 20th century animators [[http://www.animationpost.co.uk/notes2/wobble.htm considered line boil an imperfection]] that should be minimized. LimitedAnimation deals with line boil by using the same drawing for parts of the character that aren't moving and only re-drawing the parts that move, though this may make the immobile parts seem frozen in place, a problem that occurs in computer animation as well. That's why line boil and other types of wobbling and jittering are sometimes purposely used and even exaggerated.
