Curse of the Cross Eyed Moose is episode 29 of Season 1 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by OuiDo! Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 15 July 2015 on Cartoon Network.
Synopsis
In Sticks’ world there is no such thing as a harmless animal sighting. So when a cross-eyed moose looks her way while she is fishing, she knows the whole team is doomed, and every bit of everyday bad luck becomes proof. Her friends soon find their homes ringed with protective traps.
Humouring her is easier than arguing, so Team Sonic sets off through the woods to consult the one expert who can help, a mystical marmoset called Monkey-Boy. He is officially retired from curse-lifting and makes them earn his help with chores, guacamole and laundry included.
Eggman picks that moment to try to press-gang the marmoset into his service, and his robots soon have the house surrounded. Sticks rescues Monkey-Boy in the scrap, the grateful marmoset lifts the curse, and everyone heads home relieved. It lasts until Sticks meets a seven-legged spider of an ominous colour, and only Knuckles flicking it away saves them from another quest.
