"Movie Night" is a Camp Lazlo episode from season 1. In this episode, according to the Bean Scout regulations, Edward is considered too young to watch the horror movie Mountain Zombies of Scab Lagoon (rated BB, Big Boys only), and has to watch Mr. Cotton Goes to Bubbleland instead. On the day of his birthday, Edward isn't officially recognized to be older until 6 P.M. that night, so he is treated like a baby with Lazlo as his chaperone.
Plot[]
It's Movie Night at Camp Kidney, and the featured movie is "Mountain Zombies from Scab Lagoon". Edward is excited to watch the movie, since one of his brothers has seen it before several times, and mentions offhand that it's his birthday tomorrow. However, Lumpus and Slinkman inform him that he's not old enough to watch the movie, which is rated "BB" for "Big Boys Only". In consequence, Edward is forced to watch "Mr. Cotton Goes to Bubbleland" with Scoutmaster Lumpus, while all the other campers enjoy the movie.
The next morning in the mess hall, all the other campers are raving about how good the movie was, while a jealous Edward sits by himself (with Lumpus) and rages over how unfair it is that he's not a "big boy". Still, it is his birthday today. He'll show the others how much of a "big boy" he can be or not. Slinkman informs Edward that he was born at 6:00 PM, meaning he'll have to wait until then to watch the movie.
It's also revealed that all little boys have to be supervised by a big boy, so Slinkman (and Lumpus) chooses Lazlo. Lazlo spends the rest of the day with Edward, treating him like a baby, until Edward finally has enough.
In a fit of rage, Edward rushes out to the projector house to watch "Mountain Zombies" by himself. Unfortunately, Edward starts scaring himself silly, and before long is screaming to be let out of the projector room.
Meanwhile, the rest of Camp Kidney has been preparing a surprise party for Edward. They finished just in time to see him slither up to the mess hall, a nervous, trembling wreck. A joyful and optimistic Lazlo welcomes Edward as he comes in for his birthday, and notes that the planets will align as he becomes a year older. By the time that happens, Edward starts standing up as he turns older, whereas Lazlo congratulates him now that he's a "big boy". He also reveals that he can now watch Mountain Zombies with the rest of the campers, but Edward after seeing how scary as a "little boy", frighteningly refuses. When the projector turns and as Edward watches the film, he realizes that it's okay and that he can watch it now, and joins in with the fellow campers. Lumpus, on the other hand, becomes frightened as Edward was previously and becomes a trembling wreck as well.
