Endearing little observation

[maybeawriter6]

 A while back, I noticed a endearing, heartbreaking little detail I'd missed before.
 If you want to follow along at home, go to the moment when Roxanne deactivates "Metro Man's" watch.
 Watch Megamind's reaction in slow motion. I mean really slow motion. Like two frames a second, slow motion

I hadn't noticed that part but I will definitely need to go back and look! That is one of the reasons I love this movie so much; the amazing attention to every little detail! The attention to folds and movement of clothing and hair, the reflection in their eyes, the near imperceptible shift of emotions! Not many movies pay attention to those small of details but I'm so glad when they do :)

I know, right? How many other movies have you seen where they bothered with so many little details that we're still noticing things after all this time, and after so many viewings?

GAH! I would provide a screenshot right now but I have to get going. Hmm. Maybe I'll do it anyway.

Here's a series of three screenshots from that moment; I think the third one captures that expression.

Ooh, I know what you mean!!!

It took me til seeing a slightly slow-mo GIF of that scene to realise that tiny shift in his expression... Dreamwork's attention to detail... I can't even begin!!!

hey, that little GIF on the side where Megamind is holding a paper that says "Things to Do" upside down, where is that from?
