I just imagine being trapped in a Yoshi egg.

Much like Kirby, of course, is disturbing on an existential level, right?

Yeah, Kirby can consume me and steal my talents and then spit me out like nothing.

But at least you're not stuck in an egg.

And it's maybe the most entertaining thing about Yoshi in the whole movie.

And I like the inclusion of Yoshi here.

Or just, you know, sometimes they experiment visually too.

Like the credits are kind of paper craft, almost Paper Mario style.

And sometimes there's just direct 8-bit.

This is NES, this is SNES.

I wonder whether that's just an homage or is that to save some money on the budget maybe.

But, you know, there are times where they get inventive like that.
