The Animal Frolic or Choju Giga scrolls
are wordless stories by Toba Sojo (1053-1140).
I finally found a full scan of the first of the 4 scrolls:

In one scene in the anime movie 'Pom Poko', there are frolicking
frogs, monkeys and rabbits deliberately designed to resemble those
depicted in these ancient 'Chôjû Giga' picture-scrolls. Director Isao
Takahata refers to them as “the animation of the 12th century”.

For the same reason as Bugs Bunny is as tall as a human being: Because it
helps the story work.

Gee, I could appeal to your common sense...

I figured everyone could use a laugh. ;) Sirius-ly, though, the
composition wouldn't work if the animals were their right sizes. The
rabbits would be twice the size of the frogs, and then the picture's throw
off.

that had Chuck Connors in it.

Oy, tell me about it. I liked Teen Wolf's originals because they *didn't*
turn it into a slasher picture. You had a guy who happened to be a
werewolf. No psychotic moonlit rages, no infectious lycanthropy, no Lon
Chaney, Jr.-style angsting... just a good, fun picture.

I haven't even bothered to watch it. And that's a decision that's unlikely
to change.

heh...sounds like you've already seen it :)

I'm bettin the writers did take a lot of "inspiration" from that 80's
series though...btw, the "alpha" is the only one who undergoes a full
transformation. the kids merely do a modern version of Michael Landons
teenage werewolf concept. plot summary: the infected kids have to kill
the alpha to remove the curse. and thats straight outta the 80's series
storyline...I'm jus sayin...SCORZENI!!!!!!!!
