History Main / NotDrawnToScale

*** It's even present in other series to varying degrees (not as often as the G1 cartoon, but still worth mentioning). ''Anime/{{TransformersCybertron}}'' in particular has serious issues with scale in the alternate modes or even robot modes being oversized depending on what's convenient for the animators. For example:[[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/e/ee/Cyb_ep29_scale_nightmare.jpg here]], [[ButtMonkey Thundercracker]] isn't supposed to be much bigger than the guys currently on top of him (Scourge and Crumplezone) in that image, meaning either they inexplicably shrink or he grew ten times or more in size. There's also [[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/e/eb/Vector_Prime-Landmine.jpg the time]] Vector Prime was much bigger than he really is (he's about same size as Optimus, yet here he's almost Godzilla-sized when compared to him).

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', Snake's height and weight was given as 180cm and 63.8kg (5'11", ''one hundred and forty pounds''), which would be pretty badly underweight even for a man who wasn't very toned and muscular. This is all the more JustForFun/{{egregious}} because his height and weight was given in (the otherwise completely implausible and insane) ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' as 178cm and 75kg(5'10", 165 lbs). It's a pretty sensible weight for an ''average'' man of 5'10", but not for a buff man. Muscle is much denser than fat, so muscular people tend to have a high body weight for their size. A more reasonable weight for someone as ripped as Snake would be in the range of 81-86 kg/180-190 lbs. Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger during TheEighties weighed over 100 kg despite -- indeed, because of -- having very little fat but plenty of muscle.

* Officially, the minions in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' are about 105cm tall, or about three and a half feet. Most humans are about 2-4 times taller than them, so the ''Despicable Me'' franchise is apparently populated by giants.

** The height of characters of the day is also in rather wild flux. If one considers Brock to be a slightly-less-than-average-sized young adult (although most sources give his age at around [[TeensAreShort fifteen]]), every few episodes the cast runs into ten-foot-tall bearmen.

* Candace from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is explicitly 5'8" but suffers from a noticeable case of TeensAreShort. She's either this trope or the adults are just abnormally tall in their world.[[note]]And technically, she's been 55'8" since the whole growing the universe incident.[[/note]]

* This is normally averted in ''Webcomic/Kubera'' . However, there are times when it's necessary, according to the author. This is due to the fact that all relevant non-human characters are shapeshifters. Their true form is usually a Kaiju, but size increases along with character's strenght, and the top powerhouses' true forms are the size of a planet or even larger. Normally, everyone uses {{A Form You Are Comfortable With}}, as it makes interactions easier - both for the characters and for the author to draw. However, when everyone powers up for combat, their size may vary, especially if there are three or more characters of different size in the same frame.

* An official movie poster for ''WesternAnimation/ErnestEtCelestine'' shows the main characters' police mugshots, and they show that Ernest stands at 7 feet tall (a little more than 2 meters) whereas Celéstine is only 5 inches (12,7 centimeters). On the official character height chart, however, she is only a head shorter than the young bear Léon, whom is about as tall as a toddler in comparison to the adult bears.

** The Tahtorak is said to be 40 feet tall officially, but in the comic it stands nearly twice as high. Similarly, [[GiantSpider Kahgarak]] are stated to be 18 feet wide, but the one in ''Web of Shadows'' is closer to 50-60 feet without its legs fully spread out.
