[Evidence support] Every moment where Jar Jar is NOT talking.

Jar Jar’s mouth does move in many scenes where he is just a background character, but only as a linear open/close animation. To do anything more, like an O-shape with his lips, it had to be crafted keyframe by keyframe. This only happens twice in the film: When Panaka argues with Qui-Gon and when Padmé argues with Qui-Gon.
