			>'''MATT:''' We're glad that the things were the way they were in '99. It definitely makes it much quicker—we're trying to make a three-to-five-minute cartoon pretty much every week, and animating it at 12 frames per second definitely makes that possible.

			Most [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] [[Toons\|toons]] are animated to run at 12 frames per second (FPS). However, some scenes are '''animated at a higher [[frame rate]]''' for various reasons.
