"The Changing Stone"
This is an interesting retake. In the original, Thailog was clearly
a colored cel (and he had no mouth). But in the retake, he's clearly a painting
with the stone textures and everything. It
looks better now, right? But then we have the next frame...
And... he's not a painting! He looks just like he did in the
original episode! Well, it's pretty obvious that he's a cel because he
was animated. You can't really animate a painting. So, my only question is... why did they go to all the trouble of painting
Thailog just for that one shot? Why not just leave him the way that he
was? Beats me!
