I love all ages stuff that's willing to be a little quiet and introduce nuanced topics in a way that makes sense for kids, and the puppets look so great. Longhouse is a great character, so cool. I love this show!
When we think of the term 'Momma and Poppa' specifically with the title of this episode, we assume that this is going to explore more of Dwight's background. Growing our curiosity as far as whether there are more just like him in the stars, weighing in on his own homesickness in hopes of trying to uncover his roots. Turns out, this is more Pepper's story, as we'd soon learn that she 'did' have parents only her father was gone prior to the events of this series and her mother... well, I'll admit that plot element is rather vague. It's one of those familiar storylines where they don't specify 'how' someone died, only that whomever Pepper's mother was like she truly loved her little one, but circumstances prevented her from coming back. But truly the heart of this story lies in uncovering the difference between reality and pretend. On one hand, this episode marks another opportunity of pushing the ship between Dwight and Ginger, offering to provide Pepper with a family she had lost but the little skunk, for being an incredibly smart character, instead takes the offer so literally and treats them as her 'parents'. What starts as a game at first becomes a great concern, when we are so committed to this make-believe scenario like treating coworkers on a kids show like the family, they pretend to be we refuse to acknowledge that the feeling is not real even if we know this deep down. It also explores one of the great dangers when sinister forces try to take advantage on the naive and the vulnerable, featuring the return of the Wendigo and its attempts to entice Pepper with a facade of her 'likely' late mother to try and kill Pepper. Despite that spat with her friends when ultimately, they refused to maintain their facade, her true saving grace is recognizing how her 'real' mother would act and how she was able to deduce that the Wendigo was just using her. Incredible traits that are repeated in several episodes over, but that is another story. It's an episode that has its cute and goofy moments, but also some tearjerkers all the same. By repeatedly reminding us of the tree Pepper was asked to hide in and uncovering the piece of ropes that has a hidden message, we can truly see how much she is loved by her mother even if they never meet again. It is fortunate for children like her that she had parents, some are unlucky to never know their own family or have no memories of such treasured bonds or how helpless they are when their entire bloodline passed one by one. It is important to treasure the gift of family even if not by blood, even if we don't look alike, or even if we don't always get along. Because the true meaning of family reflects greatly on friendship: When you're happy to hear and see the people who care for you so much. Family is not about how you pretend to be or by any definition of the phrase, it's what you feel in your heart.
One of ‘em. This came out in 2000, but the furry fandom (though it was yet to be called that) started in the late 70s/1980 as a subcategory of the sci-fi fandom, and then its own convention idea. Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbara, cereal mascots, aesops fables, books, Disney movies, all of these existed within the 20th century, and are likely the cause of the furry fandom :)

Very nice story. I hope i can so better my english 😂 ❤ thanks for a great story
Fantastic
I'm just glad Ish wasn't the one to break the news to Pepper.
it was also mean of ginger saying she doesn't want to be pepper's mom
@@jamespfrommer5048 Yeah, between this and the Ish Dance episode, I'm beginning to dislike Ginger.
@SalisburyTheWaterFoxxoI'm glad Dwight didn't want to tell pepper because he didn't want to hurt pepper's feelings
Modern Tumblr-ites: "FOUND FAMILY!!!"
Ginger: "Nope!"
This was posted yesterday... That means there's more.
The show ran for 26 episodes.
So sit back, relax and enjoy. ;)
Is this how people became furries?
No
