Meh. I've seen far more horrifying things in my life that would make you guzzle brain bleach. Comes from a rather unique upbringing.
Anyhow, what puzzled me the most was how they jump between animation and traditional formats... until I realized that animating all the action sequences would be a helluva lot cheaper than hiring on a potload of special effect people and buying a monster-du-jour from Jim Henson every week.
Also, having grown up in the eighties I find this sort of thing to be par for the course. We can even see the beginnings of the modern teeny-bopper fashion crazes that are center of the Hana Montana fandom. Bleh. I hope my niece grows out of that, and soon.
