As a matter of fact, according to John Noble, the tomato shot was "a happy accident". PJ happened to see him rehearsing the eating scene, and when the juice shot out, ran over and asked "Can you do that again?". It wasn't in the script.

That "10 hours of tomato" had me so frazzled that I didn't quite register the minor item above it ...

... accident it certainly was, of the mass crash type ...
... but I certainly can't get my head around what's supposed to be "happy" about it ... except maybe PJ in one of his moods where you want to grab him by the scruff of the neck, shake him and holler "snap out of it!!!"

Once again I realize that my post-2000 knowledge of films is negligible. Even though the animations feature large in my (small) DVD collection of that period, and I think I've stumbled across that blue squirrel somewhere in some snippet (white gloves mean Disney?) ...

... I don't get it ... 😬

It's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's mascot. Instead of coins like Mario, Sonic collected gold rings:

If you're really bored, you can watch a full playthrough of the game :

Or take a deep dive into the connections between the two:

Or if you want other LOTR content on YouTube instead of the blue "squirrel" 😅

I know what hedgehogs look like - at least European ones; seen 'em at less than arm's length. Sonic is not a hedgehog!

I know what mice look like -- even caught some. They're everywhere. Probably even Mordor. This is not a mouse.

But this is a duck, right?

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Of course. It's a prequel.
