My advice: Watch the first 10 seconds or so, then skip ahead to about 10 minutes in. That's what I did. I'm sure there's some interesting stuff in the first 10 minutes, but I wanted to get to the good stuff. And that's in the last half.

GTFO! Cartoons... I'd better get cracking on making cartoons!
