Lo pasé muy bien y me reí mucho con las personalidades de los personajes. Mortimer se lleva todo el protagonismo con sus actitudes, y me encanta lo curioso e inteligente que es. Mortimer chases Mr. Leggitt and Cousin Perce Jones from Mallards' Bank. The ghost of Sir Humphrey Burbage leaves a farewell present for Mortimer and Arabel in the bank. Two years were indeed to elapse while budgets were drawn up and decisions made as to whether Mortimer and Arabel really was to go ahead. Finally we got the green light. Me gusta cómo pasa a ser tan cotidiano y normal tener a un cuervo que no le gusta volar en casa, quien pasa dejando destrozos pero de las maneras más ingeniosas. Y me encanta que, en historias como la del zoo, Mortimer no es quien salva el día, sino que anda en lo suyo buscando revancha de las jirafas.
