Plausible impossible


My examples of Plausible impossible:


In this frame, Gus goose's neck is shaped like a tall sandwich. This is impossible, because swallowing something that large would both cause you to choke, and not change your neck's shape in such a way. But, it is plausible because he did just eat a large sandwich, and it hasn't been swallowed yet. his long neck just kind of has it sitting in there before he swallows it, therefore showing an outline.


In this frame, Gus Goose is eating spaghetti, unraveling it from the sock shape he knitted it into. This is plausible because noodles have the shape of string, and it wouldn't be too far fetched to be able to knit them. it is still impossible, though, for the noodles would break apart, and it wouldn't hold together. But in this situation, it makes sense for them to unravel nicely.


In this scene, Mickey is leading a procession of playing cards. This is impossible, since playing cards cannot walk. In this context, however, it is plausible because they are given arms and legs, and along with many other inanimate objects in the room, have human qualities to them. In cartoons, this is accepted as okay.


In this scene, dopey is hiccuping bubbles.  This is plausible because he has just swallowed a bar of soap. However, it is impossible, because even if you did eat a bar of soap, bubbles wouldn't form and come back up your throat. It is anatomically impossible.


In this scene, Dopey is swallowing soup. When he swallows the soup, it makes a sound like water draining down a pipe drain. This is plausible because he is drinking the soup fast, and it is draining into his stomach like it would in a drain. This is impossible because the sound of water on metal would not really happen in real life when you drank soup. But in cartoons, this sound effect gives you the same feel as to what is happening.
