This cartoon presented Scott's wolf outs like a seizure episode, asthma attack..etc because he could feel 'getting different' happening and was concerned he would not fit in at school..etc because of being different.
It made me and other people with disabilities feel GREAT to see ourselves represented. When high school seemed really far away to a first grader, I was reassured things would work out.
Okay, maybe the studios just wanted to make a quick buck on a movie, itself made for a quick buck, but I found so much more in the series--and still do. The VHS tapes I have are wearing out again!
