The many cartoon styles featured in the trailer are all generally child-friendly, not at all suited for an action-horror series centering on an Eldritch Abomination devouring entire worlds. Art-Style Dissonance: As part of its Subverted Kids' Show nature, the short juxtaposes bloody violence and frightening imagery with a cutesy and cartoony art direction.This also goes for all previously-existing characters, who are drawn and animated in the styles of their original shows - Fred Flintstone, for instance, looks exactly out of The Flintstones proper, complete with a false shadow underneath him that mimicks old cel animation. Pibby has a brightly-colored and simple design (befitting the protagonist of a show for preschoolers), the superhero characters are all more detailed and live in a world with painted backgrounds, Melira and her universe have a more fluid Disneyesque style, and one scene depicts the main trio in a black-and-white setting with noticeable film grain. Art-Style Clash: The crossover aspect is hammered home by the many disparate art styles used for each dimension in the trailer.Even if the character normally gets by due to Toon Physics or any powers they have that can possibly stop the glitch, they're still doomed. Anyone Can Die: From the trailer, it looks like anyone, no matter what franchise or show they're from, can and will get assimilated into the Darkness.A few days after the short was uploaded, Dodge Greenley posted the credits for it on his Instagram, revealing their names as Alloy Boy and Melira, respectively. All There in the Manual: The superhero sidekick and Disney-esque villain who are forced to team up with Pibby are left unnamed in the short."Troping with Pibby, troping is so fun!":
