* OffModel: At times it is difficult what exactly among their character designs ''is'' on model and which aren't, as they often change in design between scenes. Of note is their version of Baloo in their ''Jungle Book'' adaptation, who goes back and forth between actually looking like a bear to looking like a strange, almost gorilla-like creature.

* {{Gonk}}: Many of their character designs are incredibly ugly, particularly Monsieur Rodente in ''Beauty and the Beast''. Baloo in ''The Jungle Book'' is also hardly a sight for sore eyes, sporting a hairless beer gut and saggy moobs, and tends to look rather creepy in certain closeups.

* AdaptationalWimp: Shere Khan in ''The Jungle Book'' might just be the most laughably pathetic incarnation of the character. While he was indeed lame in the original novel and a bit of a fool, he was still a dangerous killer. Besides keeping his bum leg, the Bevanfield version also turned him into a disheveled tiger hobo with bald patches and cartoony bandages around his legs.

Bevanfield Films was a British animation production company active from around 1981 to the late 90s/early 2000s. Much of their early work was done for Creator/TheBBC, though their most notable work, several adaptations of PublicDomain fairy tales, were released in 1992 on home video. Their outputs are infamous for their [[LimitedAnimation less-than-stellar production values]] and sluggish pacing, though they do occasionally feature one or more [[CelebrityVoiceActor Celebrity Voice Actors]].

* TruerToTheText: Their adaptation of ''The Jungle Book'' notably takes more direct inspiration from the original Kipling book. For example, Kaa is an ally of Mowgli's (as he was in the original book rather than in adaptations like [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Disney's version]]).

* TruerToTheText: Their adaptation of movies tend to stick close to the original source material. For example, ''The Jungle Book'' notably takes more direct inspiration follows the plot and characterizations from the original Kipling book. For example, book more closely than the Disney version, like Kaa is being an ally of Mowgli's (as he was in Mowgli's, Shere Khan being lame, and Tabaqui being included. Of course, the original book rather than in adaptations like [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Disney's version]]).sloppy execution proves how this trope doesn't guarantee a good movie.

* LipLock: According to [[http://mjsimpson-films.blogspot.com/2013/08/interview-paul-gunson.html an interview]] with a former Bevanfield employee, the animation was made first, with the director "guessing" the mouth flaps, and forcing the voice actors to basically [[LipLock try their best to match them with the dialogue]] when they recorded their lines afterward. Even then, most of the mouth flaps still don't match the dialogue.
