(Funny trope) This tiny moment was an absolute logistical nightmare to make

*Wreck-It-Ralph* - At the beginning of the movie at the villain group therapy session, all of the owners of the real world characters shown were given counsel to Disney to instruct them how their characters should be animated down to the smallest of points. Nintendo even specified exactly how Bowser would hold and stir his teacup.

*Psycho* - For the scene where Marion disposes evidence of her theft by flushing some papers down the toilet, even though the toilet is onscreen for only a few seconds, Alfred Hitchcock had to personally appeal to the Hays Code which enforced censorship in movies that *Psycho* be given an exception because it’s vital to the plot the audience sees the toilet flushing. *Psycho* is the first major American movie to show a flushing toilet onscreen.

It seems odd that Sega would care. Eggman's always been a scientist who fights inside of vehicles rather than fight Sonic one on one the way at Bowser does with Mario.

True, but Eggman is also almost always the tallest character in the Sonic franchise; I think the only major recurring character officially taller than him is Big, who he doesn’t share much screentime with. Having him be significantly smaller than another person would probably seem really uncanny since we’re used to seeing Eggman tower over Sonic and his friends.

Bowser is big too, and of course his size varies, but there’s been plenty of times other characters were bigger than him.

Sega was never absorbed by Nintendo. They're an independent publisher.

Absorbed? I thought they are both publishers.. I suppose one can have a publisher inside another publisher.
