That symbolism isn't always the easiest to read as turtles develop faces on their shells that prove instrumental in our dancer appearing, or curiously one-eyeballed critters emerge to look like they are straight from "Little Shop of Horrors". Trying to make sense of this probably isn't a great use of our time, but sitting back and considering how this might have looked if it were to have been hand-drawn by both of it's creators eighty-odd years ago makes it worth five minutes just on that score alone.
