For He Can Creep

Just as a side note this episode seems to be modeled after a part of poem by Christopher Smart "For I Will Consider My Cat Jeoffry" (Excerpt from, Jubilate Agno)

Jubilate Agno (Latin: "Rejoice in the Lamb") is a religious poem, and was written between 1759 and 1763, during Smart's confinement for insanity in St. Luke's Hospital, Bethnal Green, London.

The poem is chiefly remembered today - especially among cat lovers - for the 74-line section wherein Smart extols the many virtues and habits of his cat, Jeoffry.

His section of Jeoffry is just part of his larger desire to give a "voice" to nature, and Smart believes that nature, like his cat, is always praising God but needs a poet in order to bring out that voice.

In a season full of poignant religious themes, this episode seems like the only where it actually fits and makes sense.

The narrative and style is old English from the XIX century, with their old ideas and worldview, so at least it is entirely consistent with itself, unlike some of the other episodes.

Also, this is a reference to a piece of literature. It just doesn't quite fit with the idea of the series, unless the idea of the series is just "do animation".

And here we are, another one for cat people. We have done meme already this season, what gives? Ha-ha, cats being more than what they seem, above us, with some higher understanding of us, mere humans.. It just made me roll my eye again. This is what instagram is for. Posts of cat memes... The animation looks dated, it is definitely a style choice, but it definitely looks dated to me. The character of satan is also very tried and tested, nothing new or intriguing there. When it comes to the story...it's just like a mid episode of say, one of the warner brothers' cartoon series from the 90s. The jokes of funny lines were on that level too. I can see some people enjoying it, I have seen nothing in here that I truly enjoyed or would rewatch again.

If you are that desperate to animate a cool short story, there are THOUSANDS of people waiting on line but for whatever reason, they hired and animated these incredibly boring, bad writers.

Today is the day that another great show died cause they hired incompetent employees instead of actual talented people.

The animation style didn't particularly drive me crazy, but I didn't totally dislike it either. It was enjoyable to watch. The story is also not bad. I was completely satisfied with it.

The only detail I didn't like, however, was the magic, which in my opinion was totally randomly placed. How do cats get powers? It is explained quite superficially and trivially, not being explored at all. Also the fact that the cats had voice-overs didn't blow me away as a thing and slightly annoyed me.

In conclusion the episode is not bad to watch, in fact it is enjoyable to watch. But it is not one of the best either.
