Misuse, General clarification on works content, Smithy is only a boy not a grown man

* DerangedAnimation: The CGI animation in this movie is absolutely atrocious. Everyone looks very geometric and moves very robotically, often the characters look really creepy, there are obvious jpegs used for various props and the physics are downright bizarre. This is mainly because the software used to animate this movie, "3D Choreographer", was made for personal use on things like Powerpoint presentations and websites, not TV and film production.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Smithy rolls his eyes at Ms. Parmington's LovingBully comment. It should be noted that while Smithy does constantly tease and rile Nicole and Lenee for no reason, the only time he does anything to them that could be considered physical assault is when he threw that toy stegosaurus at Nicole's head.

''Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa'' is a CGI musical Christmas special that aired once during the 2002 holiday season in [[FirstRunSyndication syndication]] and on [[Creator/TheWB WB+]] (a prepackaged channel for smaller markets). Since it never aired again after that, it was considered to be lost for over a decade. It finally resurfaced on the Internet in 2015 to widespread mockery for its extremely poor quality, most notably its unfinished, stiff, dated (even for its era) computer animation. The plot of the special focuses on a spoiled rich girl named Nicole (Paige O'Hara) throwing away a teddy bear given by one of her classmates and later scrambling to find it after learning of its sentimental background.

Merged per TRS + complaining


* JerkToNiceGuyPlot: The focus of the special is Nicole transitioning from a spoiled, materialistic mean girl to a more kindhearted person. And by "transitioning", we mean "abruptly transforming".



* TookALevelInKindness: Nicole. Unfortunately, the way it's handled, it seems like her entire character just turns on a dime.

* OffTheShelfFX: According to the Wiki/LostMediaWiki, ''Rapsittie'' was animated using [[http://web.archive.org/web/19981212012221/http://3dchor.com/ 3D Choreographer,]] an animation software suite first developed in the early ''1990s'' for Intel 486 machines running Windows 3.1! By the time the special was released, said software is already considered ''primitive'' when machinima artists have done animated features with far superior visuals using popular video games. Ironically enough, very few copies of 3D Choreographer can be found on the web at all either.

Examples of Off Model are no longer allowed as of this TRS Thread. The page now only defines the term.


* OffModel:
** The size of the posters in the background of Ricky's bedroom changes between shots.
** Parts of characters frequently clip through each other.
** The characters frequently move in ways that wouldn't be possible for a (normal) human being.
** The inside of Ms. Parmington's arms/sleeves are not textured, making them appear transparent.
** During the recess scene, Nicole is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, except for one shot where she's suddenly wearing her [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring outfit]] that she wears while indoors.
