Okay, so the line could've been wittier, but anyhow, I saw this scene in Secrets of the Furious Five and I just had to do this.
It took me a little by surprise when I saw Crane flash some teeth. At first I found it a little odd that while no birds in the CG version had anything in their beak other than a tongue and food (if they're eating), birds showing teeth in 2D thumbnail seems virtually inevitable. Then again, seeing how this is a 2D thumbnail, this showing of teeth in bird beaks is pretty justifiable—in CG animations there always seems to be some law of physics, even though everything there isn't real, whereas in 2D animation literally anything and everything goes. And I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain how. Don't get me wrong, a lot of crazy stuff can happen in CG animation, too, but there's always some law of physics somewhere; all the better to make it seem so lifelike I suppose…

In case you didn't know, that little glint in his teeth (which can only appear in the 2D version of himself, as I have already pointed out) was just added there along with that text to emphasize the point in this pic.
