History Recap / VeggieTalesEpisode21ASnoodlesTale

* TheUnseen: The kindly stranger who invites Snoodle-Doo into his cave is never shown on-screen.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Inverted; Mr. Hyde and Mr. Sly are both strange alter-egos who their staid, respectable selves use to escape people's potential condemnation. However, Mr. Hyde acts in cruel ways, doing things like trampling a child or beating an elderly man to death. Mr. Sly, if anything, is just non-mainstream. However, proper Victorian Mr. Butterbun [[FauxHorrific treats his disco-inspired getup and music as "detestable".]]

Snoodle-Doo is sad that he's not very good at flying, before he notices a bunch of beautiful far-lily flowers. Remembering that he's got more than wings, he decides to paint a picture of the far-lilies. After the picture is all painted, Snoodle-Doo then shows the picture that he painted to the other Snoodles, who admonish him that he's no better at painting than flying. Another Snoodle paints another picture of Snoodle-Doo and places it in his pack as well, before the Snoodles all tell him, "You're puny, you're silly, you're not all that smart, you can't use your wings and you're no good at art!" Snoodle-Doo then decides to leave Snoodleburg to find another place to live. After traveling for a while, Snoodle-Doo decides to take a break, but he ends up falling forward when he attempts to sit down, before being approached by a Snoodle farmer who also paints a picture and places it in Snoodle-Doo's backpack. Snoodle-Doo then asks if there's any place where he can truly be alone, before looking up to see two birds flying across the sky, so he decides to climb up the mountain peak of Mt. Ginches.

* TooUpsetToCreate: Snoodle-Doo is proud of the picture he paints of the flowers... until other Snoodles tell him he's no good at art and paint hurtful artwork of him. All of a sudden, he doesn't feel like doing any more painting.

Snoodle-Doo is sad that he's not very good at flying, before he notices a bunch of beautiful flowers, realizing that he can paint a picture of the flowers, claiming that he's got more than wings. After the picture is all painted, Snoodle-Doo then shows the picture that he painted to the other Snoodles, who admonish him that he's no better at painting than flying. Another Snoodle paints another picture of Snoodle-Doo and places it in his pack as well, before the Snoodles all tell him, "You're puny, you're silly, you're not all that smart, you can't use your wings and you're no good at art!" Snoodle-Doo then decides to leave Snoodleburg to find another place to live. After traveling for a while, Snoodle-Doo decides to take a break, but he ends up falling forward when he attempts to sit down, before being approached by a Snoodle farmer who also paints a picture and places it in Snoodle-Doo's backpack. Snoodle-Doo then asks if there's any place where he can truly be alone, before looking up to see two birds flying across the sky, so he decides to climb up the mountain peak of Mt. Ginches.

At that moment, the stranger then tells Snoodle-Doo that he knows who he is because he made him. He also explains that he built the tower, planted the bushes and flowers, put the fish in the ocean, and that he feeds the birds. The stranger also adds rather sadly that the Snoodles just use their gifts to make others feel bad. Snoodle-Doo then asks the stranger that if he made the land, couldn't he make Snoodles obey his command? The stranger then answers that a gift that is commanded is no gift at all. Snoodle-Doo shows him the picture he painted of the flowers, which the stranger hangs in a place of honor on his refrigerator. He then tells Snoodle-Doo that he wants him to not just fly, but to soar. In his backpack, he places the inspiring picture of Snoodle-Doo. The young Snoodle then asks how he can fly with the picture in his pack, before the stranger tells him that this is a special picture. When Snoodle-Doo looks down, he sees that he is now a few inches off the ground. He flies out of the stranger's home, then back to Snoodleburg. There he meets up with all of the other Snoodles, who feel terrible about what they've done. Snoodle-Doo tells them the story of his adventures. All of the Snoodles, including Snoodle-Doo, then start to fly across the sky as the story comes to an end.

* TerribleArtist: Other Snoodles accuse Snoodle-Doo of being this.

* GodsHandsAreTied: The kindly stranger who invites Snoodle-Doo into his cave reveals that he made Snoodle-Doo, the other Snoodles, the clock tower, and the world. Snoodle-Doo asks him why, if he can do all that, he doesn't make the Snoodles obey his commands. The stranger replies that a gift that's demanded is no gift at all.
