Background[]

The Animation Department was built to fill the gap left behind by Henry Stein's resignation from the studio. As the name implies, the Animation Department is where the Animators drew various sketches to prepare the animation reels, at 24 frames per second, for the various Bendy cartoons. The room consists of multiple desks, a bathroom blocked at the left side of the room and a little staircase leading to the room.

Chapter 1: Moving Pictures[]

According to Henry, the room wasn't there before he left the studio, meaning that Joey Drew had to hire more animators to replace Henry. He needs to enter this room to obtain the inkwell that spawns here.

Trivia[]

Strangely, the bathroom is boarded up from the inside.
The desk in the corner has a picture of Bendy that changes if the player looks away for a few seconds. An audio cue will play when the picture changes.
- There a total of 10 different pictures. The 10th one is very rare, and very hard to catch.
In the update for Chapter 2 and 3's release, the room was blocked, and there was a little staircase in its place.
- Henry commenting on the fact that this room wasn't here before is actually a reference to the room's absence in the previous update.
- In the prototype version of the game, the Animation Department was not added yet. Instead, it was just a locked door behind his desk.
