Please excuse the crappy quality, I had to extract frames from a video clip that was about 1 second long.
It happens so fast that the shutter speed limitations on my camera really stand out. (I really need a HD with fast shutter speeds)
Littlefoot ran straight at and up the wall, leaped nearly 24 inches into the air, grabbed the rat off the tongs, does a half barrel roll and lands on all four feet. I posted the video as part of a compilation on youtube, but these freeze frames tell the story.
In this frame he is already halfway through the partial flip, rotating his body 180 degrees to land on his feet.

In this frame, he is already belly down, legs extended.

and this was the closest I could get to landing, the next two frames were nothing but a smear worse than this one, and by the third frame all four feet were on the ground.

at 30 frames a second, my camera is too slow to capture this clearly, as it was all over in less than 30 frames.
