Yes Walts dissension into a pure evil cunt happened very fast, they rushed into it. The ending of his half of Series 5 was brilliant though. Hank just casually having a shit and FINALLY finding out the truth about Walt, brilliant.

Heh that was funny. But..

Will it be too little, too late? Walt is out by this point. Judging how fast they moved when they ended with Gustavo, what left will there be left to salvage with a much smaller operation. I get the feeling the opening scene of season 5 was a shot in the dark. What'll follow is a messy story to reach that point and continue from there..

Thank you good sir.

You're welcome! I love quality animation.

I really do love Flip a lot more than Mickey (of course, the top still might be The Sorcerer's Apprentice for me). And it's good that nothing was sacrificed stylistically in Iwerks' independent work (since I love Disney too), but I have to say, in terms of early animation, Ub Iwerks was obviously a huge contributing genius for Disney, so his independent cartoons are just as good as the Disney work he did.

If you watch the "Spooks" Flip episode, the skeleton style is just like Iwerks' Disney short "Skeleton Dance."

Somehow, I just think a frog is inherently funnier than a mouse, especially the streamlined design (more than the original Flip the Frog design from "Fiddlesticks" - he goes through a simplification much like Mickey Mouse did). I guess it's because a Frog seems more squash-and-stretchable than a mouse.

Here is the "Spooks" episode. I love this one. I think probably everyone has seen Disney's "Skeleton Dance."
