Would You Like An Apple?

For my Number 4 entry of my Top 5 Favorite Animaniacs Cartoons, I'm putting a Slappy Squirrel cartoon in. For those who don't know, Slappy was a character who was supposedly a retired toon. She knew every cartoon star, whether it be Betty Boop, Scrappy Doo, or anyone else. Slappy was played by Sherri Stoner, who also wrote for Tiny Toons and Animaniacs. So anyway, Slappy is one of my favorite characters, so I thought I should include one of her cartoons. So lets not waste any longer, this is Guarding The Garden. This is one of many Animaniacs episodes to have religious elements in it. The title refers to the Garden of Eden, where this takes place. In the episode, an evil snake tries to get an apple. His master plan is to tempt Adam and Eve (Who are nude, but never truly exposed). Sadly for him, Slappy is there to stop him. The snake tries nearly every trick in the book. He uses bombs, dynamite, and just old fashioned cleverness. Still, he fails at his task and is beaten by Slappy. It's been awhile since I've seen this episode, so I barely remember the ending. I believe Adam and Eve actually eat the apple, staying consistent with the Bible. Well, what should I say about this cartoon? For one thing, it's brilliant. I love the religious factor in it, and the humor. It doesn't become too biblical, but stays true to Christianity. So, I give the cartoon the Number 4 spot in Cartoon Corner's Top 5 Favorite Animaniacs Cartoons. P.S. Now that's comedy!
