"Call Me Almondine" is a Camp Lazlo episode from season 5. In this episode, Squirrel Scout Almondine ponders the meaning of being pretty.
Plot[]
It's the big Acorn Flats Wig-Out where all of the Squirrel Scouts are to design a pretty wig to wear for all of the tourists who are going to attend the event. Although Almondine feels confidant with her design, it is rejected mainly because the wig looks like her real hair and the tourists didn't come to see a 'practical' wig. Dejected, Almondine decides to find out what being pretty is all about. She asks Jane Doe but she's of no help mainly because she was expecting a guy to see her for dinner and he stood her up! So Almondine goes into town to try to figure it out, and it seems like she has the answer in the form of a magazine. So she spends a bunch of time in front of the mirror doing stuff to herself, but when she's done, she looks exactly the same! Almondine, not wanting to ruin the Wig-Out for everyone else, decides to run away to some place where prettiness is not a factor. And where should she end up except at someplace where Lazlo, Raj, and Clam are. For some reason, they are behaving like hobo's and they tell Almondine that it doesn't really matter that she can't look like everyone else, being slightly different is what makes someone pretty and Almondine is different from everyone else she knows! Armed with this knowledge, Almondine goes back to the Wig-Out, determined to prove to everyone that wig or no wig, she can be pretty! Will she be successful? All of the Other Squirrel Scouts stand up for Almondine.
