For as meticulous as his animation skills are (and as beautiful and enjoyable the result), he is markedly lacking in vegetable slicing skills/strategy.

Which ‘hidden patterns’ were ‘revealed’?

I don’t think Leonard Nimoy is going to be knocking at his door looking to make the next edition of In Search Of.

Seems like a mandolin slicer would’ve made his life easier.

Not sure if would’ve reduced the likelihood of injury, though.

But lovely results.

What!? Are you calling reverse footage bollox on this animation?! Shocking! Clever! But Shocking!
