While this one captures some of the magic of the season, I think it also continues the decline of the series that had already been noticeable in the previous episode.

The earlier episodes had straddled the line between childhood and adulthood, and the scripts had had something for all ages, but these later episodes became more purely for children.

Also, the animation style became simplified (no more "shading"). Probably because the studio was on the verge of being closed at this point, and was growing rather desperate to find a way to avoid its fate (perhaps the only reason it lasted as long as it did was because the Yeltsin people wanted to make sure they won the 1995 elections first).
