Alongside the episode "Hiya Henry" filled with laughs, scares, and heart, "People Watching" the pairing's second segment, is considered to be one of the best pieces of animation I've ever seen.
Lacey Dyer and Julia Layton's simple but effective premise of the Green family (containing Cricket, Tilly, Bill, Gramma Alice, and Nancy) making up stories of city folk passing by provides strong execution thanks to the help of the show's art direction and storyboards of Kiana Khansmith & Caldwell Tanner.
The different stories and art styles from the five main characters are amusing and entertaining. Alongside that, the episode was able to provide conflict for Bill who couldn't come up with anything creative unlike the rest of the Green family. But with the help from the Greens' whimsical and creative stories, Bill has found the inspiration to tell a creative story to close out the episode strong.
If you haven't seen Big City Greens before, this episode is able to tell the different perspectives of the characters. Each of the Green family member's stories are shaped into different art styles in order to tell apart their beliefs and personalities.
Nancy's story is neutral and basic to the show's art style, but it's still creative with a message of determination.
Bill is not creative with this game so his story's art style is pencil drawings and stick figures.
Cricket's story matched with his wild and crazy personality is influenced by American comic books and Japanese anime and manga.
Gramma Alice's story is in wood-cut illustrations and medieval like, giving that she is old fashioned with a moral to tell.
Tilly's story in the style of the classic 20s-30s Disney and Max Fleischer cartoons matches her surreal and whimsical personality.
All of these aspects including the choice of character design and musical score make the episode beautiful and unique in its own way. I give props to the crew for making this episode of Big City Greens one of the best.
For animation fans, "People Watching" is worth the 11 minutes.
