I watched the Flash version, but not the whole thing. Remember that the longer
it goes on for, the more sounds and models they accumulate. They share all
that stuff, so it's available for reuse. It makes production quicker and
richer. All of this wasn't possible when models were a physical commodity, but
with CG the rules change completely. Same with physical books versus the
Internet...
