Between the Lions: Cliff Hanger & the Mammoth Whale

How exciting is this?!? A classic Cliff Hanger from the early days, "Cliff Hanger and the Mammoth Whale," that -- years before James Cameron's celebrated film "Avatar" -- celebrated the almost magical symbiosis between humans and the beasts that co-inhabit their planet. Will this symbiosis help Cliff get off his cliff? What do YOU think?

I swear, how many things can be below him?

Are there multiple cliffs with Cliff Hanger hanging off them?

[BTLfanatic]

@crvrslpntddsstrs How many things would you LIKE to be below him? (It's interesting how much more stable the landscape ABOVE him is!) But, no, with a few exceptions (check out the Enchanted Goat episode), it's the same cliff.

When I was little, I always thought that the episode I was watching, Cliff would finally make it off the cliff and be free.. I miss being a kid.
