"Horrid Henry and the Ice Cream Dream" is the twenty-first episode in Series 2 and the 73rd episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Henry cannot imagine a world without ice cream, so he tries to make sure that it will never happen!

Plot[]

The episode starts in school until the bell goes, and the children (including Henry and Ralph) leave their seats. Miss Battle-Axe gets attacked in the stampede. Peter meets Mum at the gate, but Henry doesn't. Soon, however, Henry and Ralph are enjoying ice cream cones at the van that parked outside before joining Mum and Peter as Ralph leaves them.

The next day, Henry and Ralph go back to the van, and Henry orders a Chunky Chocolate Ice Cream, but unfortunately, the vendor is upset due to his last day since very few people have been to the van. He says that he will not serve anymore tomorrow because everyone wants to healthy and doesn't think his ice cream is at all. To Henry and Ralph's dismay, they scream, 'Noooo!!!', opening the title card.

The following day, Henry is in the classroom staring at the place the van used to be through the window and complains to the audience it's just not fair. He soon sees that every student, including Ralph, are eating vegetables. Soon at dinner, Henry is relieved that there are sausages. But his happiness suddenly decreases when they are truly carrot sausages followed by boiled carrots and carrot mash. And for dessert is carrot cake. Henry asked the audience if they can believe what's happening. Peter is soon watching TV but Henry grabs the remote, and a cooking show comes up showing nothing but vegetables and runs out of the living room screaming as Peter smiles cheeky. He has a nightmare that ice cream went extinct and screams 'NOOOOOO!!!' again. Later on the next day, Henry is at the supermarket with Peter and Mum. Henry soon looks for the ice cream but realises that a tower of tins of carrots has replaced the ice cream. In his rage, he transforms into a tyrannosaurus, destroys the tower, stomps on the tins and throws them everywhere but is stopped by Mum who said: 'Don't be horrid, Henry!'. When Henry and Mum got home, Mum complains that she had to buy all the damaged tins of carrots. Henry told her it's not his fault the ice cream was taken away, and she calmly tells Henry to help her put them away in the cupboard. Henry reads the back saying: 'Collect 6 tokens and win a tour to the Frosty Freeze Ice Cream Factory'.

Mum also states to write a slogan which Henry can do that. then Peter asked what's for tea and Mum says 'Carrots?' which made Henry thrilled but Peter was surprised by his comment. In his room, Henry manages to get all six tokens and with the help from Ralph, he comes up with the slogan, 'Frosty Freeze is really cool. If you don't eat it, you're a fool!'. Eventually, Henry wins and enters the ice cream factory with Dad after saying 'Gotta Go!' to the audience. They meet a man called Frosty Steve who gives them tour and says they will get free samples since Henry asked. Henry sees Snowbots working hard and says he's so hungry already. Dad gives Henry his snack that Mum packed (which was more carrots again). He tells one a joke, but the Snowbot finds it hard to figure it out and accidentally knocks the carrots in a vat. The Snowbot is still curious and asks him what the answer is. Henry soon gets to the free samples room. Frosty Steve activates the ice cream nozzle, but an orange liquid comes out. He and Dad try some, saying it's delicious. Henry tries it. Realising it's carrot, Henry tells the truth and expects to be punished. But Frosty Steve strongly likes the idea, and his flavour becomes very popular.

After school, all the students go to the ice cream van, and the vendor gets so many customers using the slogan. Everyone eats the carrot ice cream, but Henry orders his special flavour, Ketchup Ice Cream after all it's made from a vegetable too. He then laughs, ending the episode.

Characters[]

Trivia[]

When Henry is on the phone to Ralph, Ralph's bedroom looks the same as Henry's.
The episode's title seems to have no connection with the story. However, it could be a metaphor about Henry's nightmare about ice cream no longer existing coming true.

Errors[]

At the end of the episode, Henry says ketchup is made from a vegetable too, but ketchup comes from tomatoes and tomatoes are a fruit.
In both close-ups of the children's scrambling feet, you can see Tidy Ted's legs in the wrong classroom.
When Henry and Ralph screamed NOOOO!!! Ralph was bald in the NOOOO!!! sequence at the beginning of the episode.
When Mum says 'Uh, where's Henry?' her mouth was out of sync.
When Henry yells 'Why are there so many carrots?' Mum's glasses are white for two frames.
When Henry asks Ralph for a slogan, Ralph appears to be is in Henry's room.
- Possible: It appears as though he just has the same color scheme as Henry's room.
