Warning: Spoilers
Newt for a day, unfortunately, this is another huge challenge that Flicker and Lounge lot have to face. Not only that, but there are a couple of disadvantages that may weaken the character development of both protagonists.

In one scene, Sir Lounge lot seems to be scared over a small spider, which considers to be a minor threat to anyone who comes across it in most situations. Lounge lot could've either dodged it or squished it, whatever he may choose. This also delayed him from rescuing the damsel by not only the spider, but also the dangerous creature that keeps her tied up. The fear would eventually be pushed aside once Lounge lot rescued the damsel before turning into a hag and transforming Lounge lot into a newt, which is what the episode is really about.

After Lounge lot turns into a newt by the hag, he then blames Flicker for the cause when he had almost nothing to do with it besides rescue a damsel-in-distress of his own. As a result of turning into a newt, Lounge lot had to be treated like a pet, which was quite unintentional. Lounge lot would eventually have to go through many more dangerous obstacles and challenges than when he was in his original size, such as giant non-anthropomorphic animals, dance moves while hiding in a knight in shiny armor, and wandering around the castle. It was surprising to see that Pierre Un Deux Trois considered Lounge lot's newt form to be a new trend in fashion in the end, which many would consider to be pretty tiny for any form of clothing. Overall, the newt form on Lounge lot is kind of silly when I think about it.

This episode overall felt like a joke to me whenever I think about newt cartoons transformations, disguises and cartoon characters. Certainly, not my cup of tea.
