An Unpopular Opinion: Ben and Holly's Moon Picnic is Underrated
Okay, hear me out. We all love Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom, right? Tiny fairies, elves, Gaston the Ladybird... pure magic.
But there's one episode that doesn't get the love it deserves: the one where they have a picnic on the moon. I'm talking about "Picnic on the Moon".
Let's face it...
Everyone always raves about the jelly floods. Or the Wise Old Elf getting into silly situations. But this moon adventure? Pure gold!
The sheer ridiculousness of it is amazing. They just... decide to go to the moon! No space training, no rocket science, just a quick trip.
And what do they bring? A picnic basket! Filled with what, fairy cakes and elf sandwiches, presumably. I'd love to know if they brought any cheese!
What makes it so great?
First of all, the logistics. How do they even eat in zero gravity? Do the sandwiches float away? So many questions!
Secondly, the moon itself. Is it made of cheese? Or is it just grey and dusty? I like to think it is cheese.
Thirdly, Nanny Plum. Let's be honest, she's the real star of the show. Her dry wit and magical mishaps are always hilarious.
Picture this: Nanny Plum attempting to spread jam on a scone in zero gravity. Comic genius! I bet her wand went haywire.
I bet King Thistle would have wanted to join, but was too busy with royal duties.
The Unpopular Opinion
Here it is: The "Picnic on the Moon" episode is the best Ben and Holly episode. Fight me!
Seriously though, it's the perfect blend of whimsy, humor, and utter nonsense. What is there not to like?
The episode encapsulates everything that makes the show so charming. Tiny creatures, big adventures, and plenty of magical mayhem.
Why it's misunderstood
Maybe it's too simple? Maybe people prefer the more complex storylines. Maybe the jelly floods is just too iconic.
But for me, the moon picnic is the ultimate escape. A reminder that anything is possible, even a picnic on the moon.
I bet the Wise Old Elf has never been to the moon! He is far too busy in his tree.
Let's Re-evaluate
So, next time you're looking for a Ben and Holly fix, give "Picnic on the Moon" another watch. You might be surprised.
Embrace the absurdity. Appreciate the simple joy. And maybe, just maybe, you'll agree with me.
After all, who wouldn't want a fairy cake on the moon? It is a meal that everyone would appreciate.
The Takeaway
This isn't just about a cartoon episode. It's about embracing the silly side of life. It's about finding joy in the unexpected. It's about maybe, just maybe, believing in magic.
So, the next time you're feeling down, remember Ben and Holly on the moon. And remember to bring the cheese!
I think Holly would love to see the stars from up there, right? Me too!
Remember, life's too short to take everything seriously. Sometimes, you just need a picnic on the moon.
