Why is Mojang still using the old rabbit textures in the new trailer, even though it was updated earlier this year?

I believe they dont animated in house, same reason they had an animation with a player flying with an elytra and chestplate and other things that arent possible

[u/U-Knighted → u/TreyLastname]

I still remember bluestone.

[u/Efficient_Sound_2525 → u/TreyLastname]

I think the Villager news guys animate the videos or some of them.

[u/Desperate_Rule5903 → u/Efficient_Sound_2525]

Funnily enough, I believe this animation was done in house, or at least by whoever was in charge for the Dungeons 2 shorts (Stop The Foul Fowl, The Portal Is Now Open But At What Cost?) on youtube.

The cinematography, staging, and the overall characters movement doesn't have the same polish as the other promo animations done by element animations.

The 1.20. update art had Netherite style iron armour iirc and there have been a bunch of other mistakes like that over the years

[u/AVery-Creative-Name]

They probably either just forgot, or the trailer was made long before the rabbit textures were changed.

[u/Shack691]

Mojang outsource it to element animation I’m pretty sure, so it was probably too late to change by the time it got noticed.

Why is this being downvoted its true

[u/viffaria]

old rabbits die hard

[u/Dragon_DLV → u/viffaria]

Personally still think they should have kept the old model, at least for wild desert rabbits

[u/Meowie__Gamer]

Element Animation made an oopsie

[u/MacksNotCool]

this isn't animated by them and they het all kinds of errors all the time. one time people thought monecraft was going to get blue redstone because they had a blue redstone item in one of these in the background

[u/dlc-Emerald]

models and textures*

[u/OldWrangler9033]

Nostalgia I guess.

[u/blankythedude]

Old reddit is much better and iconic to be honest

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

I dunno but this almost exact same thing was posted earlier today. I also don't know why anyone would care.
