Two things in particular surprised me in this video:

1) The lambs were so small! Children carried them in!

2) At the very end, it shows and mentions that the korban pesach "is roasted whole and in a special oven." Special oven? What was special about it, and why an oven at all? I would think that the oven would (at least partially) bake it, whereas it was supposed to be roasted by the fire, and only by fire. I recall halachos of it being held by a pomegranate branch to avoid heat conduction by metal, and rotated like a rotisserie to avoid it being cooked even by its own juices. What's this oven about?
