You know one of those episodes where at first you just find it okay but then rewatch it and love it? This is that episode for me. I love season 3, and this one of the best examples for why I like this season so much.
This is one of those shows where I don't hate any of the side characters/classmates (except for Erica), so when they give one the spotlight to give them a bit more development/time for people to get to know them, it's really intriguing especially in this episode. In this case, it's Dressy. She has always just been adorable to me, but I like that this episode shows off that she loves doing crafts and has a bigger role by helping George and Harold in the Dream Dimension.
The first half is enjoyable. The kids are tired of the bland activities at their camp so they ask Krupp to give them camp activities in a mini song. So, Krupp tortures the kids by locking them in a room to make arts and crafts so he can get a Leisuremyland. Really dark yet really funny. Some stuff happens and Melvin falls in the water looking like a sea monster, which causes the boys to fear what that would be like.
Their camp crafts turn into a competition between the camps and Dressy is shown to be really good making dreamcatchers, George and Harold try to stall Dressy by asking her about the dreamcatcher, which causes them to get sucked into the dream dimension in the dreamcatcher. Made entirely of George and Harold's dreams because they were both holding the dreamcatcher.
I really hate just stating what happens in the episode, but in this case I kinda have to to show why I like the beginning. It's just the right amount of stuff happening and is enjoyable.
When they enter the dream dimension is when this episode gets cool. Just exploring the complicated place of their dreams is so intriguing to me and since it's all made up by George and Harold it gives me something to be like "they'd do that for sure" or "yeah I can see them".
Melvin tricks them into making Melviathan come to life and they can't reverse it because you can't control your nightmares. I don't know why because it's an obvious reason, but I love that they even explained it in the first place. I severely miss this in shows like Loud House...
Then the boys want to bring in Captain Underpants, but they bring in a more high tech version of him called Captain Ultrapants, similar to their comic from the beginning of the episode. After that doesn't work, they bring in the original and he defeats Melviathan with camp activities. The originality of this scene has two parts to it and I really like that. One, new design. Two, my dude defeated a villain on his own for once.
They go back to their normal world because they always win in the dream world, you need balance. Which means their actual dream camp was where they were in the first place, sending them back. It's another good moral, you can't have the good without the bad. Kinda like "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" from the Powerpuff Girls.
I have no problems with this episode so it gets a perfect score. I feel like this review is a little redundant and long, but thanks for reading.
