* OffModel:
** In the first shot, Cuddles' cheeks are not colored in, leaving them white. This is fixed in the UpdatedRerelease.
** In that same shot, whenever Giggles is shown from behind, her left ear's colors become reversed, making it look purple with pink outlines.
** Giggles lacks her buckteeth whenever her mouth is closed. Since she closes her mouth in the same way as she's in this episode during her "featuring role" pop-up in the first season's intro, this error persists throughout all intro sequences featuring her that season.
** Giggles' her bow color is lighter compared to later episodes.
** Orifices on ears are still visible when a character is seen from behind (except for Lumpy, who has no visible ears).
** Toothy's stray hairs are gone after crashing into a tree. His tail is also unseen during said death.
** Lumpy's antlers are reversed when he walks away, starting the show's trend of AmbidextrousSprite errors in non-video game form.

Clean-up


The episode begins with a group of small woodland animals (Cuddles the rabbit, Giggles the chipmunk, and Toothy the beaver) playing on a merry-go-round spun by a tall moose (Lumpy). One of the critters asks the moose to spin it faster, and he obliges. Soon enough, the moose begins spinning the merry-go-round faster and faster, making the critters happy until they get launched out from the ride one by one. The first to be launched away is Toothy, who ends up crashing into a tree, breaking his back and planting his teeth into said tree. Giggles goes second after trying to hold on to the ride only for the bar she's holding on to break off, sending her to a tree stump that cuts off her body. The merry-go-round's bar then impales her upper body. Cuddles is the last to go after having his hands torn off from trying to hold on to the high-speed merry-go-round, launching him into an idle airplane's engine, shredding him to bits. The unaware Lumpy soon gets exhausted from spinning the merry-go-round and finally stops. Once the ride stops spinning, he notices Cuddles's hands still hanging onto one of the bars. Realizing what he has done, he simply walks away whistling while Cuddles's hands slide down the merry-go-round's bar.

"Spin Fun Knowin' Ya!" is the first episode of the first (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

The episode begins with a group of small woodland animals (Cuddles the rabbit, Giggles the chipmunk, and Toothy the beaver) playing on a merry-go-round spun by a tall moose (Lumpy). One of the critters asks the moose to spin it faster, and he obliges. Soon enough, the moose begins spinning the merry-go-round faster and faster, making the critters happy until they get launched out from the ride one by one. The first to be launched away is Toothy, who ends up crashing into a tree, breaking his back and planting his teeth into said tree. Giggles goes second after trying to hold on to the ride only for the bar she's holding on to break off, sending her to a tree stump that cuts off her body. The merry-go-round's bar then impales her upper body. Cuddles is the last to go after having his hands torn off from trying to hold on to the high-speed merry-go-round, launching him into an idle airplane's engine, shredding him to bits. The unaware Lumpy soon gets exhausted from spinning the merry-go-round and finally stops. Once the ride stops spinning, he notices Cuddles's hands still hanging onto one of the bars. Realizing what he has done, he simply walks away whistling while Cuddles's hands slide down the merry-go-round's bar.
