It comes out of nowhere, clashing with the rest of the film's otherwise low-key setting and only comes up again when Raggedy Ann thanks the camel for saving her life. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In many ways the whole movie is this outside of the toy room, but the encounter with the Greedy particularly stands out.Alternative Character Interpretation: The Camel is almost universally interpreted as being suicidal and the caravan he's dreaming about is a metaphor for death.And as Raggedy Ann and Andy show, even nice people can fight back.

Conversely, do not take advantage of nice people.

Ann feels bad for the Greedy because she has a good heart, but she realizes that she has to look out for herself and her friends too. Raggedy Ann politely explains that they'd like to help him, but they can't. They listen to the Greedy's tale of woe, and then the Greedy insists that they have to help them.
