Crazy Credits

During the credits the entire screen is bordered by drawings of birds and flowers. At the start of the credits on the left half of the screen are videos of the various characters, not really outtakes but similar, while the credits roll on the right. Once the videos end, the credits spring to the center of the screen. Throughout all of this there is movement by different parts of the border images -- birds flap their wings, flowers shake and so forth.

User Reviews

Bonkers!

This is a complete bonkers mess. It's not even very funny (for non-americans?) but somehow it's likeable and silly and, as pretty much everyone has said, just the kind of light hearted nonsense we need right now.
