Rise of the Pickler

Gonzo forgets to say thank you when Animal helps him out, leaving him feeling unappreciated. When Miss Nanny seems to have run out of Gonzo's favorite snack, he concocts a nefarious plan that could soon put the entire nursery in a pickle:

In yet another installment of "Super Muppet Babies (and Villains)," the previously established superheroes Super Fabulous, Captain Icecube and the Froginizer, as well as newcomer the Incredible Joke, have to join forces with Dr. Meanzo in order to stop Meanimal's new alter ego, the Pickler, from pickling all of Muppetopolis.

Rizzo, Mr. Statler and Mr. Waldorf have brief cameos.

Friend-a-versary

Summer and Piggy search for the perfect gift to give each other on their "friend-a-versary." The other babies, along with Chef, Bunsen and Beaker, try to help the two out.
