The PPGs are prevented from interfering with Mojo's evil plans due to a new law that protects animals' rights. A group of dirty hippies take this one step further and follow Mojo around to make sure he isn't bothered by the girls. This is a great idea that's ripe for lots of humor about environazis and other overzealous groups. Alas, there weren't many humorous parts in this episode. Where were all the funny verbal exchanges between the hippies and PPGs when they clash? All I could think about during those scenes was that Family Guy episode when Death dates that girl from the pet store:
Amy: You know, animals never have war. War is an invention of mankind.
Death: What're you talking about? Animals fight all the time!
Amy: Not with nuclear arms. You can't hug your children with nuclear arms.
Death touches her and she dies.
Death: Check please.
Now that's funny. How about that Simpson's episode with the endangered screaming caterpillar? I'm giggling just thinking about that one.
To this episode's credit, the PPG's idea to exile Mojo to an island of regular monkeys was good. However, it would have been funny to see all the trouble he gets into there while trying to adjust. Goodness knows the other parts of the story could have been shortened to accommodate.
Two and a half stars
