Extraordinary Tales

A Snoodle's Tale is the 22nd episode in the VeggieTales animated series. Subtitled "A Lesson in Self Worth", the episode focuses on teaching viewers that they are special in God's eyes, that they don't need to have extraordinary talents or resort to gimmicks to be worthy individuals. The episode contains two main features. The first is a parody of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The second is the story of a small whimsical creature called a Snoodle who is suffering through a crisis of self-esteem. The narration is done in the style of Dr. Suess, deftly capturing his iconic cadence, rhyme schemes, nonsense phraseology, and fanciful sense of place.
