The Dozer Walks Among Us

***The Dozer Walks Among Us*** is an episode of *Midnight Patrol: Adventures in the Dream Zone*, and the second overall. It aired on September 8, 1990.

## Synopsis

The Midnight Patrol takes the task of keeping an eye on the "royal room of naps", a small square room made specifically for The Grand Dozer as letting him loose while sleepwalking will create various chaos and destruction. However, things get bad when an argument arises over which gender should watch over the room, resulting in both giving The Nightmare Prince the opportunity to free the Dozer and create chaos that even the Prince is not immune to, and even disbanding the Patrol. Potsworth now has to make the Patrol reconcile with each other to get the Dozer back.

## Goofs/Errors

### Animation

* When Rosie asks about the royal room of naps, her hands grow an abnormally big size.
* During the scene where the Grand Dozer sleepwalks out of the room with the Nightmare Prince and Shorty following behind, Keiko noticeably lacks an arm, and has a worried expression rather than an angry expression.
* When the Patrol looks inside the royal room finding out about the Dozer's escape, Keiko's inner yellow dress is missing.
* In the scene where the Dozer walks over a group of fallen nails, his feet can be seen touching the nails if the viewer looks closely, but he never reacts to them.
* In the scene where Potsworth, Carter and Nick sign in relief, there is a single frame where the former's left ear disappears briefly. He also ends with a frown instead of a smile.
* During a scene where the Dozer is being held by a hook on the Prince and Shorty's crane, only the latter's hat appears to have been drawn, as the rest of him is not present.
* When the Dozer is pulled up back to the surface by Potsworth, his mouth is wide open with his eyes somewhat open, despite being meant to be sleeping.
* During the scene where Keiko and Nick fly back to the surface as the Dozer is retrieved, Carter has a lighter skin color.

### Continuity

* When the Patrol splits up, Rosie can be seen running with Nick, and Carter with Keiko. However, it is seen later that Rosie is with Keiko, and Carter is with Nick.
* During a scene where Carter and Nick are keeping an eye on the Dozer with binoculars, they are looking from a rock, in a later shot however, they are not looking from the rock anymore.
* When the Dozer is seen sleepwalking through a canal, he walks over three crocodiles. Later, there is only one.
* During each shot of the girls pushing a cage to get the Dozer in, their positions change.
* Similarly, during these shots, Keiko is outside of the cage. However, when the cage crashes, she is now inside the cage with the boys.
* During a scene where the Dozer is being held by a hook on the Prince and Shorty's crane, there is a wooden sign on the cliff they are at. The sign however was not present in an earlier shot.

## Trivia

* Seemingly, The Chief doesn't appear at the start of the episode with the rest of the Snooze Patrol, but she later appears when she is called by Sebastian regarding the Dozer's escape.
* The final result of Potsworth's scoreboard is "99" for the girls and "98" for the boys.
* This episode, alongside Dozer Quest and Rosie's Extra Sweet Day, are unavailable in their original English audio, and can only be found in both German and Italian, dubbed in those respective languages.
