Stylized animated cartoon with a man in a hat and spectacles standing in the middle of the road on the median with colorful cars around him. The hat and spectacles guy is crossing the street and forcing four people in cars to stop - the cars are squashed, animation-style. The hat and spectacles guy is at a street corner, waiting to cross the road. There are other people waiting as well. Very stylized frame of this animated cartoon of a man about to press the breaks so he doesn't hit the man with the hat and spectacles, who's jaywalking.

Colorful stylized painting of a ancient Japanese town with a tall temple, surrounded by rounded hills and mountains. The colors are very warm and deep, lush greens and yellows.
