That started off really cool and then got progressively weirder and weirder. Very interesting to watch, and it's kind of a shame that all that creative effort went to waste (though the songs weren't particularly great).

The gnome cult probably started the process, and then once the insanely high amounts of Taoism came into play there was no chance. Cartoons may have religious or philosophical subtexts sometimes, but it's never that overt.

I guess that must be because it was directed at a younger audience, because The Simpsons gets away with virtually anything.

I like the gnome's songs, and the overall darker tone of the episode.

In this musical episode in the style of rock operas Jesus Christ Superstar and Tommy, the girls are overwhelmed with the crime in Townsville. An evil gnome grants them the wish of peace in exchange for their powers and ends up inducting the people of Townsville into a cult.

Notes: McCracken wrote the part of the gnome with Jack Black in mind while Black was still an underground comic, but were unable to get him by the time they were ready to make the episode.
