I Remember Melville / No More Cookies is an episode from the third season of the animated TV show Rugrats. The show follows the adventures and misadventures of a group of toddlers: Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica.
In the first episode, I Remember Melville, the Rugrats are in the backyard playing pirate, with Tommy as the captain of the ship and Chuckie as the lookout. They are in search of the elusive Captain Blasto, whom they believe has buried his treasure somewhere in the yard. As they search for clues, Tommy's memory is jogged by the book Moby Dick that his father has been reading to him. He begins to recall the story and, in his imagination, the pirate treasure becomes a white whale. The Rugrats then embark on a hunt for the whale, with Angelica as the captain of another ship and Tommy as her first mate. They finally catch up to the whale, but it turns out to be just a big plank of wood that the babies mistake for a whale. However, they are still excited to have caught it, and they celebrate their victory.
In the second episode of the season, No More Cookies, the Rugrats are at a charity bake sale, where Angelica has her sights set on the last box of cookies. However, she is disappointed when the box is sold to someone else. Meanwhile, Chuckie is eyeing a chocolate cake, but his fear of trying new things gets in the way. His friends try to help him overcome his fear by encouraging him to just try a piece of cake. When he finally does, he loves it and can't stop eating. However, he eats so much that he gets a stomach ache and is unable to join in the fun activities the Rugrats have planned.
Overall, the two episodes offer a mix of adventure and lessons about memory, imagination, friendship, and trying new things. They are a fun and engaging watch for children and parents alike.
