You could ask Greg since he does som lip-syncing of cartoons for work.

Brilliant! Thank you

All Dogs Go to Heaven has good snout lip syncing I think. Also The Lion King.

Just at work right now but yeah I think scar has the perfect thing for what I'm thinking. Thanks for the info!

The best explaination I ever read for what they can and can't make the noise of was in Robert Heinlein's book, Starship Troopers, when he discussed the talking Neo-Dogs. The only things they couldn't pronounce were B's, M's, P's, or V's, because their muzzles didn't have the capacity to form the proper lip shape to make the sounds. The best part is you can even try this out and see for yourself that without that shape, you can not make a good, b, m, p, or v, but you can make an approximate sound. (Something Heinlein says people who work with Neo's learn to understand as if it was normal anyway.)

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Was just curious how animators did it, looks like they just shrink the mouth as you can kind of do that in cartoons. Realistically I don't think it quite has the potential to do that yeah heh. Still good to know, thanks for the advice!
