A penetrating expose of the underbelly of Hollywood success.
Also, the entire premise of this episode makes no sense. Not the "jumping off a building" part, but rather the fact that Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent jumps off a building so that he can get famous and someone will give him a movie deal. That's fine.
The problem is, why would Cecil be concerned with getting a picture deal with the movie producer B.B. if he ALREADY HAS ONE? The opening narration clearly states that B.B. is sending Beany and Cecil to China to make a film, presumably starring in it. So why all the runaround to get B.B.'s attention AGAIN so they can get ANOTHER MOVIE DEAL that involves certain harm and possible death?
Also, 5 stars for advising children not to run into the street without directly warning them not to jump off buildings like their favorite TV Sea Serpent friend.
