             Yes, I have noticed that too.  But I truly don't believe that 
Terry Gilliam has anything to do with it.  Though the animation is similar in
style, you can tell the difference, and that is definitely not Gilliam. As far
as I know there was never any AGENCY behind TG -- it was just something he did
for fun that they were able to incorporate into the show.
