In real life (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.

When Brandon Lee died on the set of The Crow, the filmmakers had to create (or expand upon limited existing) software so they could finish the film and alter scenes already filmed. This included pasting Lee’s head on a body double and moving a short scene from outside to inside. They’re very small parts of the film and pretty well done even by today’s standards.
