Maple Town Episode 3 Commentary

My apologies to everyone that it took so long to get this done...so then onto our next episode!

Maple Town Episode 3
English Dub Title:  Box Go Boom (Alternate title - the Silver Spoons)
Japanese Title:  "Kie ta gin nosaji" (消えた銀のさじ)
Spanish Dub Title:  Las Cucharillas Magicas

This episode focuses on Bobby Bear and his family.  Bobby is the deuteragonist of Maple Town and a native of the town as opposed to Patty, newly moved to Maple Town.



We start out at Patty Rabbit's house.  She wants to go out with her father on his mail route but her mother intervenes; she orders Patty to finish eating breakfast.  We then cut to the general store of Maple Town, operated by the Bear family.  Mrs. Bear is berating her son Bobby for trying to run out on his responsibilities.  She reminds him that he has to polish silver spoons arriving today and to take care of his three younger brothers.  It just so happens that Bobby has tied up his brothers inside a large sack and in their struggle to get free, end up wrecking the store.

Maple Town Episode 1 Commentary

So how about a write-up of the first episode of Maple Town?  Before we continue, I need to emphasize that just as I will be using the English dub names of the characters, I will be using the English dub titles where I can.  I will also use the Japanese episode titles and the Spanish dub titles as well.

Maple Town Episode 1
English Dub Title: Welcome to Maple Town
Japanese Title:  "Kochira dōbutsu taun" (こちら動物タウン)
Spanish Dub Title:  El Senor Conejo Cartero


This episode is essentially a "welcome" episode designed to introduce the main characters, namely Patty Rabbit and the Rabbit family.  Anyway, let's get on with the show.




As the episode opens up, we get some nice camera shots of a steam powered train moving through a dense forest.



As the train moves through the forest, we cut to a shot of our protagonist Patty Rabbit looking out the window of the rear train car.
