Number of Segments: 1
Episode: 38 (S4-1)
Creator: Tom Megalis
Medium: Stop Motion/ Puppetry
Background : Tom Megalis is a Greek American animator and voice actor. "Emmett Freedy" is his best known work, but he has also worked as a radio show host in Cleveland and voiced an old goat on two 90's episodes of Mr Rogers Neighborhood.
Summary: A ugly child is caught in the middle of a lice scare after he gets cereal in his hair. The whole short is in a deranged stop motion style that I have mixed feelings on.
After Ka-blam: Tom Megalis has starred in and Directed the Film "Sonny Days: Youngstown Shakedown II". The only information I can find on this film is an IMDB page and some trailers on YouTube. I think it's a sequel to a previous film made by Megalis but it's hard to find information on his work. I did however find his YouTube and he re-animated a bit of "Emmett" in a traditional/digital style.
Rating: C
That puppet child looks like he has a cold and needs to stay home from school
