#idk the idea of misto doing the magical equivalent of the buzzer handshake to tugger so often he refuses to touch misto's hand is funny

[millenari]

May 2002 West End performance. yes that is John Partridge.

This footage is worse than bad but this moment was cute. After Tugger and Misto walk to the end of the stage, Misto lifts his hand for a highfive. Tugger refuses at first.

(probably because Misto zapped his tail earlier. there's a moment in 98 where Misto nearly zaps Tugger and Tugger sniffs him out similarly:

so I wouldn't be surprised if that were a thing in this performance too and I missed it because *gestures at footage*)

Misto switches from a highfive to one finger, and Tugger reaches out to tap their fingers together: cue the most inexplicable cut to the psychic twins I have ever seen (??) but you can see Misto run back to the tire in the background after a second.

Whatever happened there, when the camera cuts back to Tugger, he's staring at his hands, both surprised and happy, and the audience laughs. I can only assume that Misto didn't -for once- zap him and he's very pleased about it!
