Just two letters are used to surprisingly good effect as this frog and his pursuers switch between "ah ha!" and "aaah!". The only variation to this word scheme occurs with the frog's "Ha ha!" near the end. Scenes too have a duality to them, in moments of calm, the chosen hues are duller, while in images of action, brighter ones are used. As this chase scene progresses, and the tension mounts, the values of the colours intensify to match. The last animal being the brightly plumed flamingo becomes the climax, but he does not manage to catch the frog either. It is a little boy that does, and to distinguish him, he is shown completely shaded with grey, surrounded by a crowning orange of triumph. His resounding "Ah ha!" speaks to his glee at capturing the frog...or so he thinks, this is one slippery frog after all. This fast-paced chase sequence has little in terms of narrative, but plenty in terms of impact.
