Krypto the Superdog: Season 1 Episode 6 Part 1
The episode 'My Pet Boy' is three episodes after the Dog Star Patrol's debut, and here they're of vital importance when Krypto's owner is taken by a family of giant space dogs to their home planet. When Krypto's mind is scanned to get the registration of the spaceship, Mammoth Mutt immediately recognises the planet Canis Magnus as the home to giant dogs. (Pics 1-2) Rather than just say it, she accompanies it while inflating for comedic emphasis inbetween her statement.
"I've heard of that place. That's the planet of..." (Inflates) "...Giant dogs!"
This instance has her cheeks puff up as she closes her eyes to concentrate on inflating, a first so far. The small sharly defined body begins to round out with the curved back and angular rear rising together into one curve reaching higher above the collar. Her chest proceeds to swell in time with this, going past the heart of the collar. The top of her front right leg is lowered until it vanishes while the front and back become one whole ball.
Mammoth Mutt's face is affected, the right cheek inwardly starts off in a reversed C shape and covers more as the side swells into a ball, consuming the right side of her face with the inward curve line spreading from side to muzzle in an arch that covers a corner of the eye. The left side has a shorter line that also bends with the cheek The angled shape of the head softens and spreads out with the filled-out cheek's distinction set with a subtle line at the edge starting from eye level and ending at the neck. Another line appears above the cheek and by the final frame looks to connect to the line at the end of the face.
While Mutt balloons, the curved fat folds surround her, starting off with two on the back before two appear at the front, aided by folds curving along to meet both ways, creating a series of larger and dense C shaped folds. Despite the proximity of the shot with her head in the way and folds going offscreen, we can tally that there are four fold lines by looking at the individual frames - the far back, behind the head, by the neck and the bottom left-hand (which can easily be mistaken as part of the far back). This combined with her swelling size and puffed cheeks makes this shot come across as intense, layered and heavy, like she’s straining to grow enormous.
The second final shot presents the rounding heroine maxing out. Initially just taller than her companions, the colossal chihuahua grows at least a head taller by the finale frame, both hind legs visible and stretched far apart from each other compared to the front legs, while her tail meets in the middle. The folds eventually join together to form a series of rings, creating a close layer at the front while the back is far more spaced out, the furthest curve going past her front legs. This shot is accompanied by the ground shaking, as if her very presence is enough to cause an earthquake at this size along, she’s that heavy and densely-packed. As she finishes, this fluffy pink ball rests and rocking delicately on her belly as she utterly “Giant dogs!”, looking so heavy and rollable.
