Recap / The Proud Family S 1 E 15 I Had A Dream

Go To

It's Black History Month and Penny and her class have to dress as a famous black person for their assignment, and Penny and Puff end up in a weird 1950s version of their town.

Tropes

  • The '50s: Penny ends up in an Ozian-esque depiction of her hometown in 1955.
  • All Just a Dream: After slipping on wet floor and hitting her head, Penny has this. The title pretty much gives it away though.
  • Artistic License – History: Sticky’s 1955 counterpart is a fan of Chuck Berry, to the point where he dances the duck walk and sings a rock and roll song after Penny rallies the other kids. If Back to the Future is anything to go by, most historians should know that Berry did not discover rock and roll until 1957, two years after Penny’s fantasy.
  • Off to See the Wizard: This episode has similarities with The Wizard of Oz, right down to Penny getting swept up by a cyclone.
  • Stock Quotes: The Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. actually gave the show permission for Penny to quote the "I have a dream" speech.
