Subject: Gears
Blaze and AJ help Stripes babysit little animals in the jungle, but when an accident strands them in bubbles and carries them away, they must save them.
Elsewhere, Crusher encounters Pickle pretending to be various animals, and his attempts to copy their talents end up with strange results.
Tropes:
- Animation Bump: This episode takes a step much further with the baby animals; not only do they no longer have blended windows on their heads and the elephants' ears are actually attached to their bodies instead of connected by poles, but the pandas' heads are even more realistic looking, the elephants are different colors, and the bunnies' ears are animated more unique, such as Floppy having floppy ears and Jimmy's right ear bent over slightly.
- Babysitting Episode: Right there in the title.
- Disney Acid Sequence: The "Gears" music sequence is the first full-on example of this.
- Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: How the baby animals talk.
- Good-Times Montage: As Blaze, AJ and Stripes are taking care of the animals and when they go to the carnival at the end.
- Idiosyncratic Wipes:
- A beach ball rolls by before the Good-Times Montage of the gang babysitting.
- A gear rolls by to transition to the STEM song and to Crusher.
- Reveal Shot: Crusher, acting as a lion, cuts through a rope, but then the camera pans up to reveal he cut a giant banana loose.
- Rule of Three: Stripes was babysitting nine animals, consisting of three different species with three members of each.
