c) Yellow hood of car and sign below become an extended leg

d) Front of red car becomes Gala's red robe as she sits on the horse. The legs of the foldaway chair become her X shaped braces. The control sign becomes her sword.

e) Rubber tire becomes the head of the rider with a pink/orange head dress merged with a number eight, while the blue trousers becomes the white head of the horse.

 

f) The grill on the front of the yellow car becomes the metal covering on the horse's face. Man in coat writing on a piece of paper becomes a shield

g) Bubble car become thick turban. The rear window becomes the riders face. The rear lights become the tips of the ears of the horse. The first white cloud in the the exhaust trail becomes perhaps the horse's nose. The woman with the blonde hair, pink sweater and trousers perhaps becomes the arm.
