That usually depends. Iago from “Aladdin” has teeth (because he’s a caricature of his VA Gilbert Gottfried) and they found a way to make that work. Sometimes having one brief shot of a bird with teeth can work to emphasize a gag. There’s one brief shot in “The Lion King” of Zazu with teeth when he painfully reacts to Scar scraping his claws against the cave wall. Having birds with teeth all the time isn’t a good thing, but having them once in a while is okay for the sake of comedy. That’s how I look at it.

I love this! I have parrots who speak and birds are mainly what I draw, so I was really excited to see you talk about this. I'm not a fan of when animators force teeth into the mouths of birds, or turn the mouth into a tube with an O at the end. Personally I think it looks so much better when you simply work with the anatomy like you did here. Bravo!

I have a pet budgie that knows how to talk. A key point to watch for when using real birds as reference is that they "talk" with their throats. You can actually see them change the shape of their throats to form the words and you can actually "see" the words they say. It's very interesting to see how the throats bulge and shrink and how the feathers fluff and part away from each other as they form words and sounds. Birds only open their beaks to make a sound louder, clearer, or sharper; all the major phonetical pronounciation is done in the syrinx. Ravens, mynas, African grey parrots, budgerigars are all common birds to take reference from because they talk and say words really clearly and there is a lot of reference material out there.

The thing about "hitting accents" instead of going for 1:1 lip sync is even more important when you consider a lot of cartoons get dubbed for international releases! I never watched a single Disney film in the original english version growing up, so perfect lip sync would have probably distracted me a ton, haha.

Something I like when animators do is instead of putting "oo" shapes at the end of the beak, putting the "oo" at the fleshy part at the base of the beak, as well as other things that require lip movement. And then the rest is just hitting the accents. I like it more than putting the "oo" at the end because it makes their beak feel floppy.

It’s better than the animations I’ve seen of the beak talking with shows like Regular show and TucaxBertie. Like the movement is so smooth and beautiful without the beaks doing the odd O shapes. Surf’s Up also has some interesting beak animations that I don’t mind. Honestly Love the animation in that movie.

I have a mainly bird based chimera, and every time I tried to animated him, it always ended up looking more draconic than bird. (I.e. broader than normal trying to get mouth shapes to look right.) The occasional teeth for certain vowels and consonants didn't help . . .

As a penguin lover, I absolutely love this. The lesson is very helpful for those who draw bird characters and I hope to one day use this to help me work on my penguin characters when I learn animation. Thank you so much Aaron 💜🐧👍🏻

aaron blaise is the master of coming up with simple, easy-to-remember, easy-to-practice solutions to problems that seem a lot more complicated

Absolutely love how didactic you sound. Bought one of your how to draw human classes a while back and I really love how you explain things!

So, what you're saying is...bird mouths use anime logic.

That's what I got out of it.

What I like to do, depending on what an animal character says- is how the head moves. I like to move the head of the animal to match the way the lips of a human is supposed to move.

OMG I NEEDED THIS!! I gotta edit one of my Fursonas into an animation who happens to be a duck. I had NO IDEA how to animate his beak, but thanks to you, MY INSPIRATION HAS STRUCK!! Tysm for your wisdom, sir!

The animation is amazing! And the dialogue was hilarious! You can tell what their personalities are like just from those few seconds alone! I love it! 😍😍😍😍😍

Your animation and art never fails to make me feel a little happier.

This is awesome. I’m just getting into animating myself and the tip about drawing mouth frames just ahead of dialogue is super insightful. Thanks for this!!

I LOVE THIS. I’m going to school to study and work with animals, but I also love art. seeing the 2 together is amazing as well as the intention and knowledge that goes into what we see and hear on screen. it’s wayyyy more than just throwing lines and colors together. thank you for showing us this!

This is really awesome,i am hit with a nostalgic punch,like this reminds me so much of the Rooster from Robin hood

I love this, I mainly animate dinosaurs (usually feathered and/or ornithischian ones, they often have that beak-ish shtick!) and I actually like to think of them as muppets as a base, and then adding more refined lipsync for those who happen to have softer lips/snouts.

This is so great and helpful! I'm trying to learn how to animate visemes because they're a little hard for me to visualize but I'm glad you shared and demonstrated these cool "tricks" to use!!! Thank you for your work!!!

This is really helpful. I'm currently trying to learn animation on my own, when I have the time and your videos help a lot! I also really admire Richard Williams, and his stuff helps too. I appreciate these videos you put out for those who want to learn but don't have all the time in the world or money to do so!

0:56 - 0:59 Words cannot express how much I love this part

I really love how the video start in black and white. its give me flim like feeling. The video content was very helpful

I LOVE your animations sir! This is my favorite type of animation of all time!

Thank you! Just what I needed, I've been figuring out how to move those hard and stable beaks into something more animative! I love birds just how they are and I started drawing birds when I was 4, now I'm animating them! *Thank you so mutch for the video!!*

Awesome Aaron!

This is so dope! Thanks for sharing Aaron

This is a masterpiece you should do more videos like this

Awesome as always Aaron! Thank you so much!

Love your stuff!

This was really helpful! I hardly ever write human characters, animals are just a lot more fun for me, especially with all of the body language and diversity with different creatures. one of my projects has chickens, and while i have pet chickens, it's really hard to animate them talking, and while the birds with teeth and malleable beak works in some styles, im personally not a fan.

What a coincidence, I was just thinking about animating My dnd character, who also happens to be a bird. And I got this in my recommendation.

This is fantastic. So much personality in this and very informative

This is super helpful!

I love birds and this video is so helpful! Will definitely remember this when I animate birds, although I'm a 3D animator myself, the same ideas should apply even in 3D.

Thank you so much for doing this video, I watched this on instagram and I was amazed how smooth it was

Eyy, you're helping me greatly with animations I'm working on! Thank you!!

Thanks so much Mr. Blaise! I was always kinda confused about this

Awesome tutorial as always! I wish to be as great of an animator as you! :D

Thanks, so much Aaron you made this video at the perfect time for me. My final year project is underway, and my characters are birds! Thanks again.

Great video as always :)

this is super adorable! oh! and it'll really help me with a Crow character I've been animating X3

That penguin father(?) is just like me, if I were a mother. Good thing I'm an aunt instead.

Loved the thumbnail

Great video Nice job God bless!

Imagine the lion and bear segment after one another *wheeze*

So lip sync goes a few frames before to make it feel better? Makes sense when light travel faster than sound.

Thanks for the info bud

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to animate a parrot speaking, well, the way they actually do. It's really interesting; the two halfs -- halves? -- of the beak are able to move independently of each other, which I don't think is the case with most birds. Like I said, really fascinating.

This is good. But why not go the Milt Kahl/Don Bluth route & bend the beak a bit more & give'm teeth like they would in their character designs? They're not biologically correct, but so what? It'll give'm even more personality. Why not try it & see if it makes a difference?

For me it just looks way better when you keep the beak biologically correct. You can probably get away with teeth in something super cartoony or comedic, but in a story where the character designs and story are a bit more grounded it becomes weird.

I mean, how cartoony would it have to be to stop being so creepy looking, and -if you have any- could you send some animation examples from movies/etc with this trait?
