Parent and child repositioning

The player is being parented? Don't think you should have to do that. This animation shouldn't be a problem. Seems like a code problem, but can't help you without seeing the code.

The player isn't parented, the player's arms, legs, torso and head are parented to an empty Gameobject as a "vessel" of sorts. I animate the body parts within the vessel. The vessel itself is parented to another empty Gameobject, so that I can move the player's entire body in one go when animating. That way the changed position remains a local position instead of a world position, which makes animations reusable.

I've already fixed it, but I find the fix quite inelegant. I've made a sprite of the animation's first frame placed it at the bottom of the ladder and had it activated when the player gets repositioned and have the vessel deactivated and when the animation starts reactivate the vessel and deactivate that sprite's gameobject.

I'd still like to find a proper fix to this, if there is one.

Here's the relevant bits of code, unless you need to look at the whole the script:

 if(transform.position.x == targetPos.x){
             initMove = false;
             anim.SetBool("Moving", false);
 
             if(doubleClicked){
                 climbing = true;
                 facingRight = true;
                 anim.SetTrigger("Ladder");
                 transform.position = new Vector3(1, 6.92f, 0);
                 vessel.SetActive(false);
                 climbFix.SetActive(true);
                 doubleClicked = false;
             }
         }
 
 if(anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("LadderClimb")){
             vessel.SetActive(true);
             climbFix.SetActive(false);
         }
