Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron will premiere in Colombia on January 25. Ahead of that debut, the film is getting an unplanned and likely unappreciated marketing push, as a local woman has gone viral for convincing major media outlets that she drew around 25,000 frames for the film’s production.

    “Over 20 months, I had to deliver 25 thousand frames, and those 25 thousand frames corresponded to a 10-second scene, so to speak”

    Animation runs at 24 frames per second, so 10 seconds of animation would be 240 frames.

    She’s off by a factor of 104. LOL. A liar AND bad at math.

    25,000 frames would be 1,041 seconds or 17.36 minutes of the film.
