Review[]
I had already talked about why this episode works so well in the past, and I still stand by my opinion that this is not only one of the best of this season, but possibly the series in general. The Rabbids’ antics while dressed as ballet dancers may already be funny on their own, but something about having human characters there to react to them somehow makes the gag ten times more hysterical than it should be. The surprising amount of character development and growth given to both Zak and Zoe, at least when compared to previous seasons, also felt very earned. Not only is Zak now officially Zoe’s boyfriend, but he’s also grown fond of the Rabbids, going as far as to help them rather than try to obsessively catch or study them, and it never feels out of place or forced.
