* ArtEvolution: Beginning with this episode, the characters have been redesigned slightly, notable in that their pupils have become smaller than they were from the beginning, the ThinLineAnimation is much thinner, and their mouth movements have improved slightly. It's especially noticeable on Cricket and Gramma, and Tilly's mouth movements have been redesigned so it no longer has the Muppet-esque {{Mouthflaps}} when talking.
