Store Wars (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

"Store Wars" is the fourth episode in the first season of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

Plot
The day of Madame Foster's birthday comes around and Frankie has forgotten to buy streamers, so Mr Herriman orders her to go get some. Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Wilt, and Coco tag along, but wander off while in the mall and get into various scrapes, slowing Frankie down.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The montage of the imaginary friends putting up decorations for Madame Foster's birthday was very nice to watch.
 * 2) Wilt holding the door for the people in the mall is very nice and generous, and is a good part of manners.
 * 3) Although the plot may seem predictable and done before lots of times, it's actually entertaining to watch and felt like everyone went on an adventure across the mall. It also pays homage to the Star Wars movies.
 * 4) Frankie is likable and relatable here, as she goes to the mall and tries her best to get some streamers and a gift for Madame Foster's birthday party and brings the imaginary friends with her (thanks to Bloo). Then, she becomes concerned about the imaginary friends after sitting on the big message chair.
 * 5) * Everyone else is also likable for finding the perfect gift and going on an adventure, although for Bloo for calling the managers "ripoff artists" and kicking them on the leg.
 * 6) Depending on your view, Bloo saying "ripoff artists" and him blabbing on the dancing cactuses is pretty funny. Besides that, there's a lot of funny moments here.
 * 7) The chase between the police and Frankie, Mac and Eduardo is top-notch and entertaining to watch.
 * 8) Decent Ending: Although Frankie got told off by Mr Herriman just for not getting streamers for the birthday party, at least Coco paid for the message chair at the mall and gave to Madame Foster, much to her delight and Bloo gets his comeuppance at the end by getting kicked by Coco.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bloo is pretty selfish here, as he asks for some money from his friends (even Mac) and denies Coco from going to the mall and trying out things at the mall just because she has no money. Then at the mall, he calls all the managers in the different shops "ripoff artists" (even his friend, Mac) and kicks them in the legs just because he had to pay some money, but he did get his comeuppance at the end.
 * 2) * The lady that Frankie asks where the imaginary friends are is also unlikable for being rude to her and acting like she doesn't want to be there and chases her and Mac.
 * 3) * Mr Herriman was even unlikable for getting angry at Frankie just because she forgot streamers. He then never thanked Frankie for trying to get proper streamers at the mall and never asked if she was okay or hurt and instead said about how her "lollygaging" ruined the party.
 * 4) Plot Hole: How did Coco get a job at the "Weiner on a Stick" stand?

Reception

 * It holds a rating of 8.1/10 on IMDB.

Trivia

 * The episode title is a reference to the Star Wars Movies.
