My theory on the ending

This is might seem kind of silly to some of you, when I say I have a theory on a kids movie that isn't very popular, but it was something that's been on my mind since the last time I watched this.

Anyway, the way that "Pebble and the Penguin" ended had raised a few questions: 1.) How did Rocko's bandana suddenly change from purple to green? And 2.) What was the consistency of Rocko flying, without flapping his wings?

My best guess is this: While Rocko swam on the way to Antartica (avoiding orcas), the ocean bleached the color of his bandana, because that's where he hid the pebble anyway. As for Rocko's "flying", well, I kind of assumed it was the pebble's magic that caused him to float (much like one of those Laputa crystals). We knew from the start it was a magic pebble, so why not?

This probably wasn't what the writers had in mind, but I like to think of it that way because it makes the ending look a little less silly, IMO.
