At several points in the clip one can freeze the shot to illustrate a very unusual aspect of the PG film, namely how the object has to (very naturally) bend it’s leg to almost exactly 90 degrees, and lifts it’s foot to be vertical with the ground. You can watch people walking all day and will not see anything remotely similar (focus on very tall people, very short people, extremely heavy people, because people in the ‘normal’ range do not exhibit this behavior at all). It’s been claimed that the ‘foot lift’ is due to the person in the costume having “floppy clown feet” and having to lift the foot this way.
