    Molly Cule? Catchy title. Now I get it.

    About: cleaning and molecules.

    Story and production: I like the songs. After they shrank the episode lost my attention.

    Character Focus: Wanda

    Subject Fact or fictional: fact

    Child Endangermeant level High, medium Low: Low and clean

    Should you watch this?: Yes. Only for the cheesy catchy songs. Otherwise this episode was too tidy. And as The Friz says get messy. This episode needs a little mess to be sustainable.

    • Trivia
      Molly Cule's name is a pun on the word "molecule" hence the topic of this episode, and she was one of the original Frizzlettes that was led by the class's teacher and Bus driver, Ms. Frizzle.
    • Goofs
      If the kids shrink so much that they are able to see soap and water molecules, the air around them should be a mixture of molecules as well.
