Eleroo's Wish Day
Reviewed: 04/15/2008
I wish the Wuzzles wasn't a toy show so it would go beyond 13 episodes...
I also wish it wasn't a complete mess either. So here is Eleroo's focus episode. How did he do? Well; let's rant on shall we...?!
The episode is written by Mark Evanier.
We begin this one in the WONDERFUL LAND OF WUSS...ERRR..I mean WUZ as we get the generous pan shot towards a fence which we see a weird looking parrot on perch as Narrator Stan realizes that the village is deserted. Yeah; it's the ATTACK OF THE MOOS-SEAL..AHHAHAHAHA! The parrot shrugs his shoulder and then we cut to a hill which we finally see the GANG OF WUZ climbing. If there is supposed to be a joke in all this; it wasn't funny at all. And there is Rhinokey to make sure there is no workrate in the episode. Because that would make him weaker than Mr. Hardcore arguing over battle mode on Mario Kart Wii. AHHAHAHAHA! See; today is wish day and of course Eleroo gets left behind as we see a pointless butterhopper being animated just to show that Telecom is animating and therefore Telecom is cool (no, not really). Eleroo is out of shape; but Hoppo isn't?! Logic break #1 for the episode one minute in. Bumblelion tells him that it is great exercise and Hoppo blows it off because she's so bouncy see. And here comes Rhinokey's cuts a really good thinly veiled fat joke (because that's the only joke he can do without me wanting to strangle him. Even worse: I'm 450 pounds.) as the babyfaces give out their wishes for Wish Day. Moosel has the best wish: Make everyday Wish Day. Or as we call it in real life: church. Insert Rhinokey laugh here and get your brains beaten out as a result. Bumblelion hops onto the GIANT FUZZY ROCK OF DOOM and looks out. I think you can guess what happens next here don't you? Rule #1: NEVER trust a fuzzy rock. It's a MimaBear as it rises from the grave (after a melodramatic spot from the babyfaces) and it talks like a parrot as it treat Bumblelion like he's his bitch.
MimaBear does some bowling and Bumblelion is the ball. HAHA! Rule #2: Bowling spots are fun; just ask Cubbi. The babyfaces bail stage left which is REALLY STUPID since spreading out west and east would have done the job. Rhinokey cracks his first bad joke of the episode 90 seconds in. Now all we need is the logic breaks and we are set for another mess in the LAND OF WUSS..I MEAN WUZ. And they get bowled over in a pretty weak spot which pretty much kills the payoff for doing that spot in advance. Everyone falls off the small cliff as Bumblelion stops being a bowling bowl and they do a pretty neat trainwreck spot which redeems the buildup to it somewhat. Since Eleroo is the focus character of this episode; he's the one on bottom. The Mima Bear flies away before any more bad bowling spots can occur. Butterbear cannot believe that MimaBears can bowl. Well; I cannot either, although I can believe that Rhinokey would cut another bad joke right on cue. Everyone gets off of Eleroo and apologizes for squashing him and Eleroo is all right with it. I guess Michael Eisner has a bounty on Eleroo's head for being too good for school. AHHAHAHAHA! See; Eleroo wants to be able to fly as the MimeBear's flying in the sky pounds the message home. Hey; Eleroo: Call Higher...For...Hire; I hear they are looking for new fly-boys in protest of Michael Eisner screwing them out of a second season. You would fit perfectly in that company.
Hoppo would settle for getting to the top of the hill and of course they have to lift her up because she's a fat diva. She must have a touching fetish if she likes doing that spot. While they help Hoppo up; we cut to the far shot of the wishing well as Narrator Stan lays out the full details on how the wishing well works. This is like the Satanic version of How It's Made. And it just has to have a fusion name called the Wishbone Wishing Well. It's pretty simple: one lucky Wuzzle gets three wishes. I mean; that plot device has been around since the dawn of time. Although; having it done on a wishing well is a nice little twist to it. Oh; and one more thing: The winner is the one who has done the most good deeds in the past year. Which leaves me and Crock out right from the get go...And speaking of the devil himself; here comes Crock sneaking over to the wishing well on the near shot. Crock asks for as many wishes as he can stand so he can corner the market on wishes. This is sounding like Bill Gates praying on XBOX 360 as an article of faith which was one of Sean Malstorm's earlier article on Microsoft leaving the video game market (Microsoft has lost $6 billion plus on the XBOX brand at this point I should note). He also wants some goodies as Brat is talking in his Taz Manian voice. So why did this show past muster while Tazmania the series got bashed for showing Taz as a victim of Downs Syndrome? BIAS!! Okay; maybe not.
Thankfully; Flizard understands him because Crock is supposed to do good deeds in order to get three wishes. While Crock is blowing them off; I just realized something: HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD THAT WISHING WELL KNOW WHO DID GOOD DEEDS?! Does that mean that the Wishbone Wishing Well is a god? And is this god barbaric or not? Flizard thankfully responds to that because he trapped Moosel in the cave and Eleroo saved him. Now there's an episode I need to see! I love Crock's reasoning here; it sounds like those Liars for Jesus people who use Jesus as a shield to lie and distort the facts. Crock invokes his golden coin and drops it into the well. And as expected the wishing well blows him off for trying to screw him. Yeah; it's a god. Now I know why this show tanked and has NEVER been released on DVD? It's too close to being religious here. Crock calls the wishing well sarcastic which shows Crock has no sense of sarcasm whatsoever. Crock and the heel decide to bail without further incident which shows that this God is not barbaric. No wonder the Southern Baptists hate Disney so much: The Wuzzles God is more peaceful than theirs. We cut to the far shot of the babyfaces walking towards the well as Eleroo is still the last guy to arrive hopping happy..because being mad is bad on a preschool cartoon. Hey; I violated DUB ANIME CONDUCT RULE #12 and made a funny at the same time. Wow; Hoppo's singing is actually improving! Did Eleroo try to hurt her backstage or something?!
Anyhow; the babyfaces continue to march along as we see Crock hide in the bushes and then pan over to a plain where Crock disguises himself as a wishing well. That might be the most obvious disguise I have seem in my life as he invokes MIMI JOKE ZONE PLAN B: Prevent the Wuzzles from getting their wishes. I betcha Eleroo doesn't throw his coin into it and finds out that it's Crock screwing the babyfaces out of their money. Brat and Flizard bail into the bushes while Crock bails into the fake well. Brat does a chomping branch spot to amuse me as we cut back to the babyfaces making it to the Crock Well. Butterbear is wondering why the well is so near and Bumblelion nicely blow it off because the well is standing RIGHT THERE. The fact that the stitches on the side of well give it away well in advance proves that cartoon characters are REALLY MORE STUPID than we are. The Crock Well God orders them to give him a lunch and Butterbear throws the picnic basket down on Crock's evil pinhead. Nice bump there guys. Bumblelion declares his wishes and Crock blows him off for trying to give him five wishes in a row. Considering that the rule is three wishes; Bumblelion looks like a greedy idiot here. Hoppo tries her luck; but no dice as Crock blows her off before she can give a wish. Hoppo blows the well off as the rest of the babyfaces try to give out their wishes and Crock keeps blowing them off. CHECK THE FREAKIN WELL SIDES; YOU IDIOTS!
Thankfully; Rhinokey unintentionally blows off Crock and Crock blows his cover. When Rhinokey is the smart one; you are hosed as a heel and babyface. Crock is screwed so he and his gang bail into the bushes like a bunch of scalded BirdDogs. And it's time for the SCOOBY DOO CHASE SEQUENCE THE BABYFACE EDITION~! Sadly; Eleroo gets left behind again as he trips before making it into the bushes. Eleroo feels sorry for himself being degraded as a character and we cut to chase scene to waste more time. Flizzard gets the picnic basket and it's empty of course because Crock ate it all. That's payback for Brat screwing him out of the toll in the last rant featuring the heels I guess. Brat does get to eat the basket though when it is tossed to him. They do the fast tip toe into the river as the babyfaces stops at the edge of the river which means that Crock and the gang will fall into the deep water portion of the river by now. I check the video...Damn; I'm good. Butterbear gleefully points out that as Crock and the heel get washed away in the flood. And they cannot swim (although Crock is using the well as a personal floatation device which shows that he does have some foresight) which doesn't surprise me in the least since it seems that most of the Wuzzles have yet to see a swimming teacher. They fall down the waterfall which literally comes OUT OF NOWHERE (no logic break here; just looks odd) which the babyfaces stop near the cliff allowing Rhinokey to crack another bad joke just to annoy me.
The big ass splash occurs and the heels pop up using the well as a raft. Now that is foresight unleashed! babyfaces feel relieved that they don't have to deal with Crock anymore...or for 20 minutes according to Moosel which is a rather bad logic break to use for fourth wall breaking since the show would be over five minutes after the ending. Crock grumbles as the henchmen paddle and ponder their next move. They stroke away stage right as we cut back to the plains as Rhinokey blows off Crock's ability to stoop to new lows (which really isn't funny or amusing). Hoppo asks for some food from Eleroo and the babyfaces get the LIGHTBULB OF BLOODY CLAIRTY and realizes that they left Eleroo behind again! Eleroo needs Wii Fit, STAT! So we get the scene changer (at last!) as Eleroo is climbing up a pretty nice hill sulking about how much he sucks...and then he sees the real wishing well and thinks it's Crock up to no good again. He climbs onto the side and tries to grab onto air that he thinks that it's Crock and falls into the wall. See; this is why checking the sides of the well is important. So you don't make stupid mistakes such as this. Eleroo pleads for help as Narrator Stan proclaims that Eleroo really messed up this time to end the segment nearly nine minutes in. This is just okay so far.
After the commercial break (finally; a new paragraph); we head back with the far shot of the well as it zooms in while Narrator Stan proclaims that Eleroo is in deep trouble. Actually; that is the INTENTIONAL MISTAKE OF DOOM since Eleroo is in shallow water. I mean he is in a FREAKIN WELL! And quite frankly; this scene is hitting a little too close to home for some people in the know of a real life incident. I'll leave that event as an exercise to the reader. Eleroo pleads for help and God speaks to him. And since Eleroo is the nicest one of them all this year God grants him three wishes. Well; that was no surprise since Eleroo is the focus character here. Eleroo's first wish is obvious: Get out of the well and that wish is granted as the MAGIC POOF puts Eleroo in front of the well. Eleroo is HAPPY as the well god reminds him that there are two wishes left. Now this is going to get good I hope and pray. God reminds Eleroo to read the sign which is the moral of the episode: Be Careful What You Wish For; You Might Just Get It. Good moral to learn which Mr. Hardcore didn't when they were whining like little babies about wanting a Revolution and then getting it and hating it after Nintendo gave it to them in spades. Eleroo doesn't understand the moral (what a shock?) as the babyfaces are still looking for him (what a shock?).
Eleroo is HAPPY that his friends are here and proclaims that he wants to think about it tomorrow morning. The Well God grants him that as long as he heeds his warning. Eleroo hops away and then hops back to thank the well which the well does a well-come promo which is pretty lame. Your sarcasm sucks Well God. Just want to point that out as we head to the scene changer and see that Eleroo has found his soon to be ex Wuzzle friends as he exchanges notes with his soon to be former friends and of course the babyfaces each wants to butt in and steal Eleroo's wishes, hopes and dreams. This is like The Fence Sitter in The Adventures of The Gummi Bears; only the problem is not a problem at all. Butterbear; bastion to friendship everywhere (since she cannot do any emotion over than happiness and fright) stops the bickering because Eleroo should make the decisions when it comes to wishes. I think this should eliminate any hope that Molly, Sunni and Butterbear are the same character. They are 100% different guys! Live with that fact and move on...The babyfaces agree to not to run interference on his wishing.
Those smiles on their face indicate that they are lying as we logically return to Eleroo's bedroom as Eleroo is in bed getting ready for some shuteye because a good fresh mind is always needed when making two more wishes. Eleroo turns off his lamp and heads for sleep until a knock on the door beckons. Eleroo turns on the lamp and we cut to outside where Bumblelion is banging on the window. I told you they were lying; it was only a matter of time before they would try to screw Eleroo out of his wishes. Bumblelion turns his head just as Eleroo opens the window allowing Bumblelion to pound on Eleroo's trunk. ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WISH FIST!! AHHAHAHAHA! Eleroo is startled as Bumblelion tries to tease him with making a wish invoking the IMAGINATION BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM. The object of desire: A Uni MotorCycle which has to be more dangerous than a REAL motorcycle. Although; Bumblelion shows some class and safety by wearing a helmet. He rides the motor uni-cycle for a while before being careless and crashes into a wall. Now you know why Gohan's IMAGINATION BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM was wiped clean and you can blame Bumblelion for it.
Thankfully; Eleroo is nice enough to blow it off nicely and then his door chime rings which means someone else is ready to screw Eleroo good as he goes to the door. And the one to screw Eleroo next is Hoppo who is acting like a nice lady instead of her usual diva self (What a shock?). Her wish is for her own television show which is funny since she ALREADY has her own show right here. We get the IMAGINATION BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM for this one as the spotlights try so hard to look like Mickey Mouse; but Eisner won't allow it. The curtain rises and it's Hoppo (in an ugly pink dress which is no surprise to me) and with the microphone. Oh God; she's going to sing AGAIN! UGGGHHHH! Where's the Sabin dubbers when you REALLY NEED THEM?! And her voice destroys everyone's television sets right on cue of course along with half of the set. She needs to see Simon of American Idol and maybe he can stop her from singing. And naturally; her singing is enough to drive Eleroo straight up the ceiling onto the chandelier which naturally breaks and snaps right on cue. Eleroo takes the MAN-SIZED bump onto the floor and basically makes a mess on ¾ of the floor. Eleroo doesn't want that wish and apparently shoos Hoppo out of the house by the time the next circle scene changer arrives.
We cut to see Eleroo sitting on his bed feeling relieved and tired. He tries to go to bed and RhinoKey appears OUT OF NOWHERE sleeping in Eleroo's bed. HOLY CRAP! That was too freakin funny to watch. Paging GLADD to the LAND OF WUZ; you're needed here. Eleroo doesn't suspect a thing for three seconds and turns out the lights before getting the LIGHTBULB OF BLOODY CLAIRTY and that makes him about as flustered as Disney would allow. That pretty much adds creditability to the theory that Eleroo and Rhinokey are divorced homosexuals right there. Rhinokey stands on the foot of the bed and tells him his wish: The biggest bag of trick in the land which of course includes the IMAGINATION BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM (and with Rhinokey around; it's even more apporos.) and Moosel gets the JOKEY SURPRISE OF DOOM minus the explosion and plus a water gun in the face because he's the most over guy and therefore must be buried before children start being inspired by his overness. Hoppo gets the Jack-In-A-Box and Bumblelion gets the pie in the face. Rhinokey bails as the angry mob chases him. Well; they don't call it assault with a deadly punchline for nothing. AHHHAHAHA!
Rhinokey hides in the big bag of tricks as the imagination sequence ends. Eleroo nicely blows off Rhinokey's wish as the telephone rings and Eleroo hops over to answer it. It's Moosel and he's got a favor for a wish . This ought to be good. Moosel suggests the ultimate wish: A huge rich house with a moat filled with pinecone juice while relaxing on a hammock which is demonstrated perfectly by Moosel in the IMAGINATION BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM. And of course classic psychopath Moosel clicks in as he talks about storm clouds and floods in such a dramatic way that I'm laughing my butt off hearing it. Moosel should have been a Gummi Bear; he would be perfect. Can you imagine him and Gusto annoying Gruffi so much that he leaves on his own free will. It would make millions BABEE! Moosel hangs up the phone and makes the decision of not making the wish after all to end the funny.
Post-Production Glitch #1: Half second black slug....Somehow; I like this better than the ugly scene changers that I have seen at this point.
It is morning in the WONDERFUL LAND OF WUSS...ERRR..I mean WUZ. We see Eleroo hopping in the street as Narrator Stan declares that it's D-Day for Eleroo's two wishes. I find that a little silly since there is no law that states that he has to spent the wishes in a certain period of time. Intentional mistake #2 from Narrator Stan. Eleroo still cannot decide which proves that a fresh mind is important in these situations. We then cut over to Butterbear's mini garden as Butterbear (the only one who isn't a greedy wrench) is watering her plants. She spots Eleroo and asks him if he wants to pick Mushberries or something contrived like that with the babyfaces. Eleroo no sells because he is asking Butterbear what she would like to wish for and Butterbear no sells that because it would be her wishes. Character development?! On Butterbear?! WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?! I jest of course; as she's pretty good and would be better if it wasn't for her voice. Eleroo then gets the LIGHTBULB OF BLOODY CLAIRTY and realizes that he wishes that he would fly. Which is exactly what Eleroo wanted from the start before he was granted wishing powers. His third wish should be to remember little things like that.
Eleroo hops away as Butterbear does her worry face because this doesn't sound good. Eleroo calls himself the ace of the airways. I think Baloo and Kit might have something to say about that. I see the TaleSpin ribbing is already in place five year early as Eleroo does the spread wings spot (Kit did this in P&L Part Two) and hops away towards the well as we pan over to the right and see Crock and his henchmen inside Crock's new car. Wonder how much he got from his black truck to get that ugly thing. At least the black truck looked really heelish. This just looks merely gay by comparison. Obvious Animation Mistake #1 (I mean really glaring): When Brat talks in his Down Syndrome voice; he's not in the car. He's in some background on the ground despite clearly being in the car on the other shots. Logic break #2 for the episode. The last thing I want is to see Ruby Spears infect this show. It's like Britney Spears doing cartoons. AHHAHAHAHA! Crock and company drive the car as the segment officially ends with Narrator Stan proclaiming that Eleroo's in trouble at 15 minutes in.
After the real commercial break; we quickly head to the god well as Eleroo has arrived to tell the Well God his second wish while flapping his wings. The well god asks Eleroo if he is ready to announce his wish to him and tries to remind him of the warning posted; but Eleroo is already dead set on flying. The well god admits defeat and sprinkles the FAIRY DUST OF GOD onto Eleroo's body hoping that Eleroo will not regret it as we cut to inside the bushes as Crock and his henchmen watch on. They only have one wish left and Crock knows that timing is everything while knowing how to deny as Brat is on him like a heel henchmen with Down Syndrome would. Eleroo doesn't feel anything different and then decides to flap his wings and he rises from the ground. He's flying BABEE and Gruffi is scared so much that he retired from animation due to seeing the surreal image played out in his real animation life. Or maybe not. Eleroo flies around with the greatest of ease to waste some time as he does the usual flying spots (the backstroke spot, flying into a cloud etc.) . We cut to the ground as Crock and the henchmen have trouble finding Eleroo and they head to the car. Then Eleroo return just in time for the heels to turn their backs on him and thanks the well god for his wish and proclaims that he doesn't need the third wish. I suspect this will come into play later on.
Eleroo flies away as the well god hopes that he likes being screwed as he will be winging back. More flying from Eleroo as he turns his back and takes a nasty bump into the cliff which forces him to free fall; but the power of flight prevents him from smacking the ground hard as he continues to fly. We see Eleroo annoying the DeerBirds as he flies on which allows them to be SHOCKED and APPALLED (in that order) and they bail away. We then go to a clothesline (HAHA!) of Parrotkees and Eleroo wants to join them on the perch. But Eleroo slingshots off the power wires (because he's JUST TOO FAT) which breaks internal logic because Eleroo is not a bird and therefore he should be electrocuted. That's logic break #3 for the episode as Eleroo hops away onto the ground. I think the well god is a fuddy-duddy. We cut to a street near Eleroo's house (I think) as Moosel and Bumblelion notices Eleroo in the sky because the POINTY FINGER OF DEATH is THE LAW BABEE! Superman promos abound as Eleroo punishes them by squashing them with his mass to amuse me. I'm digging this episode in spite of the obvious logic breaks here.
The dust settles and Eleroo is now on top. HAHA! See; make the joke and pay it off. Eleroo gets up and apologizes (for WHAT?) for his bad landings and asks for the location of Butterbear and Hoppo. Moosel tells him that they went to the field to pick Mushatoes. And I betcha Hoppo is there to have a fusion buffet. AHHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummm...back to the rant. Eleroo does the Up, Up & Away spot and flies into the sky. Moosel doesn't like the new Eleroo (HOW DARE HE?) as Rhinokey shows up just to drag the episode down a notch again. And of course; he cracks a bad joke just to annoy me..and of course he did which makes the gag even less funny. Rhinokey is there to tell the Goofs With Attitude that Crock is heading to the field and they get the LIGHTBULB OF BLOODY CLAIRTY as there is big trouble in them fields. They all bail stage left as this logically leads to the Mushatoes field as Butterbear pops up with the Mushatoes and HOLY CRAP! Look at the size of those things?! Did Larson and Gary make this their FIELD OF DREAMS?! I mean come on guys! Potatoes are only about three times the size of a mushroom and mushroom are barely ½ foot square at most. Tomatoes are even SMALLER.
Hoppo is giddy because they are good on their fusion burgers. Hmmm; steroid burger..SLURP!! WAIT A MINUTE?! WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING HERE?! Steroids are EVIL! It's a bad message to send to kids who might be reading this rant. I mean; steroid are unsafe for crying out loud! Ah; forget it! Why do I even try?! Let's just end this rant as Hoppo picks one which has a CowFrog hopping away from it. Oh; I get the gag, HAR HAR! They create the mushroom pile which is the perfect spot for Eleroo to drop in and ruin the harvest. I check the video and damn I'm good. And the female Wuzzles invoke eye contact violence. Thank goodness they didn't let Butterbear talk as Hoppo does the blowing off for ruining the crop and scaring the birds. Eleroo apologizes (Yeah right?!) and flies away lest any more eye contact violence happens to him. Hoppo's eye contact of violence can MURDER a 500 pound sumo wrestler within fifty paces. AHHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummmm, let's continue on shall we as we get the bad scene changer as Eleroo feels bad for hurting them in so many ways. I guess this is what the well god was talking about Eleroo regretting it. However; as we head down, it turns out that they are not really mad at all. Kind of kills the effectiveness of the moral doesn't it? The male Wuzzles show up as they realize that the damage has been done.
Then we cut to the bushes as Crock has the MEGAPHONE OF JIMMY HARTS as he yells out Eleroo Air Raid and the babyfaces are forced to bail thinking that he's coming back. Considering that Crock's voice can clearly be heard; chalk up one for lack of brains on the Wuzzles part. They bail stage right to the conveniently placed “Air Raid House”. Oh; that wasn't contrived in the very least; no siree! They head inside as Flizard pops up from the door and slams it shut which causes the sign which sezs Jail making the spot even MORE contrived than it originally was. Brains are not these babyfaces strength sezs I. Crock and the heels bail to get Eleroo's final wish as Bumblelion does the squeeze spot in order to show Kit how to do it when he starts being cool. Sadly; there is no dice since Bumblelion is way too big to do that spot. See; you need to be pretty thin which fits perfectly with the Miracle Worker. Crock and his henchmen ride shotgun down the road invoking the megaphone to page Eleroo. I thought paging was invented in 1990's and not in the 1980's? Logic break #4 for the episode. A minor one; but annoying nevertheless. Moosel proclaims that they are doomed as Butterbear cheers them up because Eleroo isn't in the contrived jail which allows the babyfaces to blow it off because they are really doomed. We head into the sky for more flying from Eleroo.
More birds are scared away as Eleroo soon realizes what that sign had said and feels really awful as Crock calls out Eleroo on the megaphone. Eleroo flies down as Crock lies to him that his friends have moved away because Eleroo was becoming too dangerous with his landings I guess. Crock blows him off because wishes are nothing but trouble as Eleroo admits that and wishes that he could never fly again. Well; see you later pussy whipped Crock. It was nice knowing ye. The Well God grants him that wish and Crock is officially screwed as Eleroo gets the flying wish deleted from the record and he free falls and squashes Crock's incredibly insipid car flatter than Alexander The Grape. Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! And it actually fits well in this case since Eleroo is purple in color. The car rides around as Crock and his henchmen bounce Eleroo off of the car (HOLY SPRING ACTION!) and Eleroo takes a wussy bump onto the ground. Crock feels happy that Eleroo's weight is gone; but I suspect with one minute left in the episode that his hope chest is gone. And it is as they tumble down the steep hill allowing the heels to do some pretty cute bumping in the process because Telecom is animating of course.
Of course there are no brakes because he didn't wish for them. Proof that listening to Bumblelion while hedging your bets is a recipe for death. Crock's car rides away into the river and splashes off-screen (I think) as we cut back to the jailhouse as Eleroo unlocks the board from the door and the Wuzzles are FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, OH LORD THEY'RE FREE AT LAST! Eleroo apologizes for his flying to the Wuzzles and then walks away because he thinks his friends are gone for good. The babyfaces call him out because they are his real friends and real friends never let real friends be alone. Even if they were stupid enough to fall for Crock's obvious tactics. Butterbear is praying and looking like she's about to cry to add some realism (in this show? Yeah right?!) and Rhinokey cuts his contractual bad joke because that's all he can do at this point. Rhinokey then trips (YAY!) and takes a wussy bump onto the ground (BOO! HISS!) as the babyfaces laugh in his face (DOUBLE YAY!). Good for him; he deserves to be laughed at until he improves his jokes. Narrator Stan does the lame well promo as the scene pans to the far shot as the episode officially ends at 21:42. Very good episode for the most part; but the logic breaks were glaring enough to drag it down quite a bit. *** ¾ ( 95%)
THE REVIEW LINE
Well; we now have three really good episodes in a row as the storyline was solid for the most part and Eleroo's funny antics were pretty good. While the pressure wishing scenes from Eleroo's friends were not as good as the ones in The Fence Sitter; they were pretty silly enough to make me laugh Moosel's was the best while Rhinokey's was the worst of course. Also; we got some pretty good character development from Butterbear as she proved her differences compared to Molly and Sunni as she was merely sweet and unselfish with a gardening gimmick to accent the character. Great character with an awful voice. Rhinokey was is usual bad self as was Crock's silly attempts to get Eleroo's wishes. I just thought it was just there. The finish also dragged this episode down a bit with the obvious contrived Air Raid House which was a jail which made it even more contrived than before. Other than one minor TMS mistake; the animation was on and the logic breaks were pretty minor for the most part. Overall; another very good episode and I suspect that it will be downhill from there (minus the pilot). Next up is Ghostrustlers which should be the ghost story of doom. So...
Thumbs in the middle pointing up for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
