That was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! While not as "ha-ha funny" as some regular episodes, it more than made up for it in adventure and pure heart! I was reminded several times of some of Clive Barker's alternate-universe novels, like Weave World or Imaigica, without the gore. There was, though, several times, a very real sense of danger and foreboding, though I never had any doubts that Frankie's ability to reason and settle disputes would win out in the end. There were many times I was on the edge of my seat, and I loved the use of the innocent toys of childhood as instruments of doom. I loved it-absolutely loved it! Ms. Faust has out-done herself this time, no doubt!
Oh, is it just me, or did the antagonist Imaginary Friend(I'm rather loathe to call him a "villain")remind anyone else of the young Buddy Pine in The Incredibles when he was in that little red-headed kid guise?
And, BN-in the opening credits, only Lauren Faust(and that IS her name; she's not just "Mrs. McCracken")is credited as the writer of this episode, though many, many others contributed, no doubt. And, Sparky will have screencaps ready when she gets 'em ready. If that takes longer than next week, oh, well. I for one do not want her to feel pressured by anyone to get the screencaps up, since we all should remember this is something she does as a favor to US, not something she's under any obligation whatsoever to do. But yeah, Destination Imagination certainly deserves an Emmy, as did Good Wilt Hunting, and I guess only time will tell if the folks who decide on such things agree.
