First the negatives, the main being that the camera moved around too much for my liking. While I understand that the sisters were moving throughout the episode, they could have kept the camera in the same position in some shots a tad longer, as it is a bit too hyper (and also motion-sickening). Also the message doesn't really get through. The idea of "you're not forgettable" is both fed down the throat and also not shown. At the end of the episode, we don't actually see evidence showing that these children aren't forgettable compared to memorable, but just them using their knowledge.
Now to the good stuff. The music fits good with this episode, and has a nice classical tone to it which fits in to this christian occurance. The animation seems to excell compared to other episodes in this season, and the shot to the end is seriously impressive, representing the treasure at hand very well. The gimick about the kids being forgotten is definitely a nod to 2020 lockdown, and some older viewers may find this funny (the original release was 2021), though being reminded every 45 seconds that these kids were "forgotten" does get tiring rather quickly. Finally, the mystery portion of the hunt for the eggs is fairly interesting at points. It is a question sometimes where the next clue is, though others it is just moping and fustration, which is tiring to watch. Overall, an episode which is a must watch for the season, and definitely not as painful as I have written it here, and a good attempt at a special for the time of year.
