What did I just watch? Was any of that necessary? Really? It's a cartoon! He got hit in the head! A screaming narrator does NOT need to explain that to us, it doesn't need to be in slow motion, it's just dumb. This is "entertainment" for the reality show generation, just taking stuff that's fully capable of standing on it's own and ruining it by shoving a narrator down it's throat and baking it for half an hour.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
