Just wanted to chime in on the “magic art of disguise” that was talked about in the show. In one of the DVD’s deleted scenes you find out that the cuteness (Pistachio’s dog) was actually Pistachio’s grandfather in disguise for the whole movie!
This plot line was completely dropped except for a small scene after the credits are over when you see the cuteness say “no more dog food” in the grandfather’s voice!
I would say that there is plenty of magic in turning yourself physically into a dog! A magic that’s only accessed through energico!
