The Good Egg is about self-care, self-reflection, and acceptance. 
The goodegg lives in a carton with 11 of his roommates. Unlike the good egg, the 11 roommates are always getting into trouble and mischief. The good egg tries to improve his friends’ behavior, until one day he has had enough and starts to “crack” from all the pressure. He sets out on a journey to take care of himself and step away from his roommates for a much-needed break. Once he feels like himself again, he returns to the carton, where he tries to worry less about everyone else and learns to accept the others for who they are.
