Seth's OneWingedAngel form of "Brundlefly" -- a completely inhuman-looking, voiceless monster -- is realized via animatronic puppets for the final minutes, and the transition between techniques is so smoothly handled that the audience just sees one single tragic character all along. The special effects team is listed first in the end credits to acknowledge its importance.
