Chowder: The Cinnamini Monster

Mung Daal’s Catering is working on an order of dumplings, though as they soon discover, the dumplings are too large for the package that it’s supposed to be delivered in. However, Mung Daal has a secret ingredient: cinnamini powder! Just a sprinkle of the stuff will shrink the dumplings down to size, but when it triggers Shnitzel’s allergies, the entire contents of the vial are blown away. Now, Mung Daal, Shnitzel and Chowder must venture deep into the depths of Marzipan City in order to find a cinnamini tree, though what they discover puts all of them in jeopardy.

Recap

Mung Daal Catering had just prepared some dumplings, and all that remained was to fluff them and put them in their package. However, when Mung Daal noticed that they were too large to fit, he decided to take out some cinnamini powder, so that he could shrink them down to a more reasonable size. Shnitzel then sneezed, due to him being allergic to cinnamini powder, which caused all of the powder to be blown out of its vial. The dumplings had been shrunk, but Mung Daal was distraught over losing all of his cinnamini powder, and told Shnitzel and Chowder that they now had to go on a cinnamini hunt, in order to get more of the stuff...

    Truffles: Well, I’m glad one of us finally acknowledged it.

    Mung Daal: I was sure that cinnamini tree was around here somewhere.

    Mung Daal: Sweet grapes of wrath! Chowder!

    (The Cinnamini Monster sighs)

    (Chowder is reading the instruction card for the board game)

    (Chowder grabs and rolls the dice, causing it to break a vase)
    Chowder: Rule Two: retrieve dice.
    (Chowder retrieves the dice and continues reading the card)
    Chowder: Rule Three: take thirty-nine cards from the middle of the deck, fold each in half, then mail back to manufacture. Wait forty-six weeks for cards to be returned, then divide x by the power of nine times the eighth dimension. Add to which of a moving piece, twenty-seven degrees diagonally, among space time continuum! Whoa. Maybe there’s something else we can do?

    Mung Daal: If I have to ask a twenty-sixth time, and you still refuse to give Chowder back, well then, then… Oh, who am I kidding. We gotta come up with a story for Truffles! So, let’s just say he was eaten by bears, agreed?!

    (The Cinnamini Monsters rolls the dice and lands on seventy-three)
    Mung Daal: Oh, seventy-three, good roll!

    (Shnitzel had just sneezed all over Mung Daal)
    Mung Daal: Really. You really did that. Again.

    Mung Daal: Okay, gang, this is out of control. If we don’t win this game soon, we’ll never get out of here!
    Chowder: And he’s almost out of snacks! I’m hungry, Mung, I really am.

    (The Cinnamini Monster had locked the door and swallowed the key)
    Chowder: Mung, I wanna go home!
    Mung Daal: This is home now, Chowder, this is home.



    Episode Goofs
    When the Cinnamini Monster rolls the dice, Mung Daal claims that he had rolled a seventy-three. However, he actually rolled a seventy-two, evident by the amount of dots actually on the dice.

    If Chowder can eat anything, why didn`t he just eat the door like he could eat through leaves in one scene so everyone can escape?



    Cultural References
    Chowder: Well, let’s take a look. Apology.

    The board game, Apology, is a reference to the real board game entitled Sorry!, which was acquired by Parker Brothers in 1934.

    Visual: Shnitzel takes a card from the chest of dreams; the card has a man on it with “Radda Radda Radda” written on it.

    This is a reference to the board game entitled Monopoly, which was created in the early 1900s and is one of the best-selling board games of all time. The reference was specifically focused towards that game’s community chest, where players would draw cards that had a figure saying something, along with an order that affected the game.

    Chowder: I’m hungry, Mung. I really am.

    This is a reference to the 1961 film entitled One Hundred and One Dalmatians, though specifically the scene where Rolly said a very similar line in the same accent.
