mozenrathoftheblacksand – The DVD Fairy

((They did such a horrible job drawing him in this episode, it’s such a shame!))

I actually love the way they draw him in this episode because it’s very unique. Mind you, there are some shots, like this one, where he’s a little overexaggerated:

(oops, forgot to color in his eyebrow! and left another one off altogether!)

or this one:

Where he looks a little like Inspector Gadget.

But I appreciate how fluid the movements are (and it’s partially because of their use of between frames that are very stretched and cartoony) and how consistent the style remains throughout. Compared to the first episode he’s extremely expressive in this one. This is also one of the few episodes where I don’t see when one set of animators trades out for another set. They stayed with the whole thing, and it’s lovely.

And there are some downright gorgeous shots of him in later scenes that of course are almost completely obscured by the brightness levels, but we’ll see if I can’t make them visible when the time comes!

I really need to keep an eye open and see if I can pinpoint other episodes that these artists worked on, because I want to see what else they do.

This was part if a play set! I have this doll, they were action figures, Aladdin is wearing the matching outfit. It’s more like “The Wind Jackals of Mozenrath” look but same thing pretty much. Have you seen it?

Yes, the PVC figures! But I mean like – actual dolls. Like she had a million Barbie type dolls but none like this. (She was and may still be one of the most widely marketed Disney Princesses to date, and I like to think that’s largely because the show stayed in syndication so long on channels OTHER than the Disney Channel.)

He has money. Didn’t he pay off the Muktar in that episode “The Hunted”?

Which is much later down the line; in that time he was also able to corner the market on Griffin toenails. This is his first episode, and I don’t think Destane paid him. His current funds and whether or not he’s found where Destane keeps his money are debatable at this juncture.
