User Reviews

Self-Indulgent Experimentation

Do You See What I See gives the viewer the gift of animation (of every sort and kind) for Christmas. The animation types vary by vignette and character and all are just familiar enough to make the viewer nostalgic for other animated shows/games/etc. and fresh enough to be wildly funny and interesting. To list them all would spoil the fun of surprise, but the writers and artists behind this episode, clearly had a wonderfully self-indulgent time with experiemnatal visuals for Do You See What I See. As a Christmas special, there is sufficient heart to open and close the episode, but the meat of the outing is all about resolving the crisis-of-the-week; so the festive season aspect feels a bit tagged on, but is still enjoyable after the massive season cliff-hanger which shocked everyone at the close of One Giant Leap. Bottom line - grab some popcorn and enjoy.
