Fan Episode Reviews (1)

In this clip show, a well-written script ties together the theme of growing up vs. childhood fun.

By atulrao, Aug 04, 2006

The main reason that this episode doesn't get a full 10 point rating is that clip shows rarely deliver a satisfying episode that touches the heart. Having said that, the writers of this episode have clearly risen to a very difficult task of tying together unrelated clips in a very relevant and important theme to the target audience. It's always an ongoing issue for children to look up to the ages that they wish to be. Every now and then a cartoon points out that living in the moment is a value that can be carried throughout your life. Ultimately it's about appreciating who you are in your given phase of life.moreless
