Sometimes the characters are stuck in static drawings, forever saying the same piece of dialogue over and over for all of eternity. Sometimes the characters are stuck in static animations, speaking out and coming alive before your very eyes. To those unfamiliar with the term, an animatic is the preliminary storyboarding phase of any piece of media, except in my case since I can't animate, it's just my way of trying to break these characters free and prove to people they are actually alive.
