Four-Fingered Cartoons Saved Millions of Dollars

You may have observed that God has five fingers whereas everyone else in the universe only has four when a character on The Simpsons talks to him. Additionally, you might have observed that for many years, most cartoon characters had four rather than five fingers.

Making a fifth finger in hand drawn animation was laborious in the past, but owing to computers, it is no longer a problem. Additionally, it altered figures' geometry, which was essentially based on a succession of circles. A character like Mickey Mouse would look odd and be more challenging to design if he had more fingers.

Furthermore, many of the early characters didn't actually belong in the human race, therefore they weren't really required to have five fingers. And because it takes more time and effort to make a fifth finger move, animating it really costs more money. According to legend, Walt Disney estimated that utilizing four fingers would save millions of dollars.
