9) The hell are Arthur's glasses attached to? His ears are up top!
10) Flying fish don't work that way, Aquaman
11) This total break in the laws of reality.
12) They are both dogs. One is bipedal and talks, one is a regular dog.

Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person.
