(Many other clips from various cartoons appear surrounding the Steamboat Willie cartoon. The camera zooms out revealing the collection of clips are in the shape of the film's logo. The clips disappear revealing the film's logo itself.)

CARTOON ALL-STARS TO THE RESCUE

(The camera zooms in through the "O" in "CARTOON" from the film's title as the scene transitions to the live-action suburbs in the morning. The sun rises above the horizon in the morning sky. The camera pans to a live-action house where a 17-year-old teenager and his family live. The camera pans through the window to a pink bedroom where a young girl named Alice is sleeping in her bed. The camera pans to a piggy bank that is sitting on top of Alice's dresser. The door slowly opens and a hand from the unseen teenager grabs the piggy bank and takes it from Alice's dresser. The door slowly closes as the camera pans to a Mickey Mouse plush toy on a toy shelf where the other toys are. The Mickey Mouse toy comes to life as a hand-drawn animated cartoon character. Mickey Mouse yawns and stretches his arms. He then gets up, climbs off the toy shelf, lands on the nightstand next to Alice's bed, and walks to the dresser.)

Mickey Mouse: Ah, what a lovely day. Huh huh! Huh?

(Mickey finds something wrong with Alice's bedroom. Alice's piggy bank is supposed to be sitting on top of her dresser, but it's missing.)

Mickey Mouse: Oh, my gosh! Alice's piggy bank is missing! I've gotta warn the others!

(Mickey takes out his smartphone and calls the rest of his team, the Cartoon All-Stars, for an important meeting.)

Mickey Mouse: (on his phone) Calling all Cartoon All-Stars, calling all Cartoon All-Stars! It's me, Mickey Mouse. We have a situation in terms of the status of Alice's bedroom. Meet me at the meeting hall for any further discussion. I will see you all there real soon.

(Mickey hangs up his smartphone and puts it away in his pocket. He then climbs down the nightstand and goes under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars. Then, several other cartoon tie-in toys come to life as various hand-drawn/CGI animated cartoon characters. The first five characters to come to life are Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf from The Smurfs. The five Smurfs come out of their world in the Smurfs comic book and enter the real world.)

Smurfette: Do you hear that, guys? There's something wrong about Alice's room.

Papa Smurf: Hmmm, let me guess. A piggy bank is stolen from her room?

Brainy Smurf: Technically, the piggy bank belongs to Alice, therefore it's hers. And yes, someone stole her piggy bank from her room.

Hefty Smurf: If we find out who stole the piggy bank, I would kick his butt!

Clumsy Smurf: But it has money in it!

Brainy Smurf: Actually, there's a total amount of $30 inside the piggy bank, but I suppose you're right.

Papa Smurf: Okay, guys. We must attend the meeting with the others. Let's go.

(The four Smurfs follow Papa Smurf as they go under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars. The next character to come to life is Alf from ALF. The stuffed toy version of himself, that is also on the toy shelf, comes to life as a CGI animated Melmacian alien.)

Alf: Huh?

(Alf jumps off the toy shelf and lands on the desk. He then gets up and shakes his head. He then looks at Garfield from Garfield, who has already come to life as a hand-drawn animated cartoon character and is napping on the toy shelf.)

Alf: Hey, Garfield!

Garfield: What is it, Alf?

Alf: Do you wanna attend the meeting with all the other Cartoon All-Stars and then help track down the thief?

Garfield: Nope. Guarding Alice's room while sitting on the toy shelf is work enough for me. Wake me up when the lasagna comes.

(This annoyed Alf so much that he bangs on the wall with his fist. The banging on the wall made Garfield wake up and fall off the toy shelf.)

Garfield: Ahhh!

(Garfield lands on the desk.)

Garfield: Oof! (gets up) Hey! What was that for?

Alf: Let me rephrase that: do you wanna help, or do you wanna be lunch?

Garfield: (gulps in fear and salutes) Sir, yes, sir!

Alf: Good. Now, follow me.

(Alf and Garfield climb down the desk.)

Garfield: My luck to be stuck on a dresser with a pushy alien.

(Alf and Garfield then go under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars. Simon and Theodore from Alvin and the Chipmunks, who have already come to life as hand-drawn animated characters, peek from behind a portable radio on Alice's desk.)

Theodore: Simon, our leader is calling us and the others for an important meeting. Let's go to the meeting hall and attend the meeting there.

Simon: An excellent opportunity to be of service. But... where's Alvin?

(Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor also from Alvin and the Chipmunks, who have already come to life as hand-drawn animated characters along with Simon and Theodore, appear behind the portable radio as well.)

Brittany: He's too busy playing Fortnite on his computer.

Simon: Alvin? Playing Fortnite on his computer? That game is horrible! In fact, most people would rather play Minecraft or Roblox than Fortnite.

Theodore: Should we tell Alvin to come along with us to the meeting?

Simon: Good idea, Theodore.

(Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor go back to hiding behind the radio.)

Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor: ALVIN!

(The scene cuts to Alvin also from Alvin and the Chipmunks, who has already come to life as hand-drawn animated characters along with Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor, behind the radio. He is indeed playing Fortnite on his computer.)

Alvin: Busy!

Theodore: There's someone who needs your help!

Alvin: What? Another autograph hound?

(Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor look at each other. Then, they look at Alvin.)

Brittany: No, Alvin. It's not that.

Alvin: Then what is it?

Jeanette: Alice's piggy bank is missing. All the other Cartoon All-Stars are heading over to attend the meeting with Mickey Mouse, our leader.

Eleanor: You have to come with us and join the others at the meeting hall.

Brittany: Yeah, Alvin! You must come with us.

Alvin: I'm sorry, guys, but I'm staying right here playing video games on my computer. I will not go with you to attend that meeting, and there's nothing you can do to make me.

(Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor look at each other again. Then, they glare at Alvin.)

Alvin: What?

(Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor proceed to grab Alvin by the arms.)

Simon: Come on!

Alvin: Hey! Wait a minute! Let me go!

(Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor take Alvin with them as they go under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars. The last four characters to come to life are Baby Kermit from Muppet Babies, Winnie the Pooh from Winnie the Pooh, and Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. The plush toy version of Baby Kermit comes to life as a CGI animated Muppet while the plush toy version of Pooh comes to life as a hand-drawn animated character and the plush toy versions of Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man come to life as CGI animated characters.)

Winnie the Pooh: Oh! Oh, my goodness. I'm not late for breakfast, am I?

(Winnie the Pooh sees Baby Kermit and taps him on the shoulder.)

Baby Kermit: Whoa! Sheesh. (sees Pooh) Oh! It's just you, Pooh. Listen, our leader has called us and the others for an important meeting. We have to attend it.

Winnie the Pooh: Oh my. Really?

Baby Kermit: Yeah! Come on!

(Winnie the Pooh and Baby Kermit go under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars while Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man watch them go.)

Slimer: Ooh! Meeting today? Yum!

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man: Let's go.

(Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man go under Alice's bed for an important meeting with the Cartoon All-Stars. The scene cuts to the meeting hall under Alice's bed where all of the Cartoon All-Stars are attending the meeting. Mickey Mouse walks up to the stage and talks through the microphone.)

Mickey Mouse: This meeting is now in session. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to this very important meeting. And second, the chef will be serving breakfast once the meeting is over. Anyway, let's get this meeting started. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a situation in terms of the status of Alice's bedroom. Something is wrong here, and I mean really, really, really wrong here in Alice's bedroom. Alice's piggy bank is supposed to be sitting on top of her dresser, but it appears to be... missing.

(There was silence for a few seconds before Mickey Mouse continues talking.)

Mickey Mouse: Actually, it's more than just missing. (plays the surveillance footage of a thief stealing the piggy bank) According to the surveillance footage from the security cameras, a thief must have stolen it... and there's money inside the piggy bank! We need to find out who stole it, because if we don't, then Alice... will go bankrupt... and... (gulps) ...she'll have to start counting savings all over again.

(The Cartoon All-Stars (except Mickey Mouse) look at each other. Then, they look at Mickey and groan.)

Mickey Mouse: Don't worry, everyone. Once we find the piggy bank, we can just take it back to her room so that Alice wouldn't notice. Simple, huh?

(The Cartoon All-Stars (except Mickey Mouse) look at each other again. Then, they look at Mickey and nod in agreement.)

Mickey Mouse: Okay, then. Let's go find that piggy bank! Meeting adjourned.

(All of the Cartoon All-Stars get out from underneath Alice's bed to search for her piggy bank.)

Mickey Mouse: Okay, Alf, Garfield, Chipmunks, and Chipettes, search everywhere far and wide for the piggy bank.

Alf: You got it!

(Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor walk out of Alice's bedroom to find her piggy bank.)

Mickey Mouse: Smurfs, Pooh, set up the alarm to wake up Alice.

Smurfette: Will do, Mickey.

(Winnie the Pooh, Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf go to where one of the legs from Alice's bed is.)

Mickey Mouse: Slimer, when Alice wakes up, turn on the spotlight and aim it at where the piggy bank was last seen.

Slimer: Okay!

(Slimer goes through the wall to wait for Alice to wake up.)

Mickey Mouse: The rest of you, follow me.

(The rest of the Cartoon All-Stars follow Mickey Mouse as they go out of Alice's bedroom to catch up to Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. The scene cuts to Winnie the Pooh climbing up Alice's bed. The camera pans down to Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf setting up the life net for the other Smurfs to jump on.)

Smurfette: The life net is ready!

(Papa Smurf whistles with his fingers as he signals the other Smurfs to help out. Five male Smurfs and five female Smurfs step out of their world from the comic book and enter the real world as they jump on the life net to set up a human ladder for Brainy Smurf to climb on to reach the top of the nightstand where the alarm clock is.)

Papa Smurf: Steady now, my little Smurfs. Steady!

(Brainy climbs up the human ladder and is close to reaching the top of the nightstand, but then he looks at the Smurfs from the human ladder.)

Brainy Smurf: Come on, down there! You're not pushing!

(The human ladder pushes Brainy Smurf up to the top of the nightstand but one of the Smurfs from the human ladder sends him flying up to the toy shelf.)

Brainy Smurf: Whoa! Yow!

(He then falls down and lands on a pillow on Alice's bed. As he lands on it though, he loses his glasses.)

Brainy Smurf: Oof!

(Winnie the Pooh finally reaches the top of Alice's bed when he sees Brainy Smurf on the pillow.)

Winnie the Pooh: Huh? Oh, dear. (starts thinking) Think, think, think.

(But then, Winnie the Pooh realized that the nightstand is right next to the bed, so he crawls towards the alarm clock on the nightstand and sets up the alarm on it.)

Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps if you let me do the alarm set-up on the clock. That should wake up Alice.

(The alarm clock goes off and Alice, the live-action girl herself, starts to wake up. Brainy Smurf finally finds his glasses and hides behind the pillow. Alice finally wakes up as she yawns and sits up. She then looks at the alarm clock.)

Alice: Huh? (turns off the alarm clock) Why did I set the alarm on a Saturday?

(The camera pans to Slimer watching Alice. He calls Mickey Mouse on his smartphone.)

Mickey Mouse: (voice from the phone) Yes?

Slimer: (on his phone) Should I do it now?

Mickey Mouse: (voice from the phone) Absolutely!

Slimer: (on his phone) Great! Bye-bye!

(Slimer hangs up his smartphone and puts it away. He then comes out of hiding in the bedroom wall.)

Slimer: Huh? (sees a fruit lamp) Ha!

(Slimer eats the fruit lamp and swallows it. The light comes out through Slimer's teeth and aims at where the piggy bank was last seen before it was stolen. Alice looks at the light and gasps. She finds out something wrong with her room. Her piggy bank was indeed stolen.)

Alice: My bank! Someone took my bank!

(The scene cuts to Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor at the live-action hallway. Suddenly, they hear a breaking noise coming from somewhere in the house. They all gasp in shock.)

Alf: Hmmm... That sounds like the sound of the breaking of the piggy bank... if ever I've heard one.

Garfield: There are two sounds you can't miss: a breaking piggy and a sizzle of hot lasagna.

(Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor proceed to sneak into the live-action teenager's room.)

Simon: I don't like the looks of this.

Garfield: Neither do I. No food in sight.

(But then, Alf hears footsteps coming from the closet.)

Alf: Somebody is coming! Quick, hide!

(Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor hide underneath the teenager's bed. The closet door opens revealing the thief himself, the 17-year-old teenager named Michael, with Alice's piggy bank now broken in half revealing the money inside it. Michael places the broken piggy bank on his bed and grabs all the money out of it.)

Michael: Alright! There must be 30 bucks in here easy.

(Alf, Garfield, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor watched in horror as Michael puts all of Alice's savings in his wallet.)

Theodore: (gasps) I can't believe it! The thief that stole the piggy bank is none other than... (gasps) Alice's own brother Michael Druganis?

Alf: Wally never did this sort of thing to the beef.

(Michael puts the last of Alice's savings in his wallet when he hears someone knocking on his door. The scene cuts to Alice knocking on Michael's door.)

Alice: Michael? It's me... Alice... your little sister, remember?

Michael: (off-screen) Go away!

(Alice is shocked but decides to enter Michael's room anyway.)

Alice: I'm just looking for...

(Alice opens the door and enters Michael's room only to see her own piggy bank broken in half and with her own savings stolen from her.)

Alice: Is that my piggy bank? (points at the broken piggy bank on Michael's bed)

Michael: I told you to stay out!

Alice: I can see that it's broken. Now, how did that happen?

Michael: Well, it... it fell. I was... just trying to fix it.

Alvin: Is he kidding?

Simon: I think he's lying.

Alice: It fell from my dresser, broke in half, gained the ability to fly, and went into your room? You took it! (looks at a box on Michael's bed) And what's in that box?

(Michael hides the box underneath his bed from Alice.)

Michael: It's none of your business. And keep your hands off!

(Meanwhile, underneath Michael's bed, Alvin opens the box revealing what appears to be marijuana.)

Theodore: Um, what's all this for?

Alvin: Either someone's conducting a major chemistry experiment or this is a serious no-no.

Alf: Guys, something tells me we're not in cartoon territory anymore.

Theodore: (smells the marijuana inside the box) Uh, what's that funny smell?

Simon: I hate to suggest this, but my guess would be marijuana.

Alvin: Uh, what's marijuana?

Simon: Marijuana, also known as cannabis among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes. In other words, it's an unlawful substance used to experience artificial highs.

Alvin: What is a high?

Simon: A high is a state of high spirits or euphoria. The purpose of marijuana is for the people that use it to experience artificial euphoria.

(The scene cuts back to Michael and Alice in his room.)

Alice: You're acting really weird.

Michael: So who asked you?

(Winnie the Pooh, Baby Kermit, Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf take a peek inside Michael's room. They see Michael and Alice arguing.)

Alice: If you wanted some money, you could have said something. Are you feeling okay? What's wrong with your eyes?

(The scene cuts to Michael's face. His eyes are bloody red with bags under them and his face has a few wrinkles. Michael puts on his sunglasses and starts walking out of his room.)

Michael: Nothing.

(Winnie the Pooh, Baby Kermit, and the five Smurfs hide as Michael leaves his room and starts heading downstairs.)

Michael: Leave me alone, will ya?

(Alice watches Michael as he walks downstairs and starts heading to the front door.)

Alice: Michael? You always tell me everything! What's wrong?

(The scene cuts to Michael walking towards the front door. His mom is watching him leave.)

Michael's Mom: Michael? Honey, where are you going?

(Michael opens the front door, steps outside the house, and slams it shut. He then starts heading to the city. All of the Cartoon All-Stars watch Michael leave the house.)

Alf: That kid's got a one-way ticket to Nowheresville.

Theodore: Simon suspects drugs.

Winnie the Pooh: Oh my!

Slimer: Oh, that's bad news!

Alvin: Michael needs our help.

Simon: I agree!

Theodore: Me too!

Brittany: Me three!

Jeanette: Me four!

Eleanor: Me five!

Garnet: I stand by my brother Alvin here. We are the greatest team the world has put together! Just look at how far we've come. We've faced enormous challenges. I'm not going to lie, things have been hard for every single one of us. But when I look at my teammates, I see hope. I see strength. I see ingenuity! Mickey Mouse, there's no one quite like you!

Mickey Mouse: Aw, shucks.

Garnet: We... can do this.

Cartoon All-Stars: Yeah!

Slimer: Then let's help him!

Cartoon All-Stars: Yeah!

Mickey Mouse: You heard the slime. Let's waste no time and get a move on! We've got a teenager to help. Huh huh!

Cartoon All-Stars: Yeah!

(All of the Cartoon All-Stars except Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse get out of the house through the window.)

Mickey Mouse: Oh, and by the way, Pooh, I need you to do me a favor and watch over Alice for me while the rest of my team and I are gone.

Winnie the Pooh: Will do, Mickey.

Mickey Mouse: That's what I like to hear. Well, see you real soon!

(Mickey Mouse gets out of the house through the window. Winnie the Pooh waves goodbye to him as he catches up to the rest of the Cartoon All-Stars.)

Winnie the Pooh: Goodbye... and good luck!

(Mickey Mouse and the Cartoon All-Stars (except Winnie the Pooh) start heading towards the city.)

Part 2: Michael at the Arcade/Michael Meets Bugs Bunny/Michael's Past
(The scene fades to the amusement arcade in the live-action city. The camera zooms in through the door and pans to Michael hanging out in an empty corner with a drug dealer, a teenage girl, and two teenage boys.)

Teenage Boy #1: Where did you get the money for this stuff, Michael?

Michael: What difference does it make? I got it, didn't I?

(Michael inhales the smoke from the cigarette and breathes it out. The cloud of smoke becomes an anthropomorphic hand-drawn animated character.)

Smoke: Yeah, that's it. Do it. It makes you forget all about your sister and her stupid piggy bank, doesn't it?

Drug Dealer: Yeah. This stuff's pretty good. But I've got something even better. (takes out a bag of bath salts) It's the latest thing.

Michael and Three Other Teenagers: Ooh! Ah!

Drug Dealer: You might want to be careful with this. Bath salts are the real deal. People have been seeing some crazy stuff.

Smoke: Ooh! Now that's cool. Mikey... Mikey, you've gotta try this.

Drug Dealer: It gives you a major high. Not only that, but it can also make you hallucinate and feel delusional... (snaps his fingers) ...like that!

Teenage Girl: I'm in!

Teenage Boy #1: Okay!

Teenage Boy #2: I'll try it!

Drug Dealer: You in, Michael?

Smoke: You don't want to be left out, do you?

Drug Dealer: Come on! What are you waiting for?

Smoke: Try it, try it. You want them to like you, don't ya?

(Suddenly, Michael, the drug dealer, and three other teenagers hear the police siren coming from outside the building.)

Drug Dealer: Oh no! It's the cops! We're so gonna be busted! Let's get out of here!

(The drug dealer puts away the bag of bath salts in his pocket as he and the three teenagers he hangs out with run out of the arcade.)

Smoke: Holy smokes! It's the cops! Beat it!

(Michael and Smoke run out of the arcade as well. They then run through an alley. But then, they see a police car running towards them. So, they turn around and run to another alley. But then, they stop at the dead-end: a brick wall with concertina wire on top of it. The police car comes to a complete stop. A mysterious figure gets out of the police car and starts walking towards Michael and Smoke. Smoke hides inside the brick wall.)

Michael: Wait!

(Smoke sticks his head out of the brick wall.)

Smoke: Sorry, pal. In times like this, you're on your own.

(Smoke gets his head back inside the brick wall.)

Michael: Great.

(Michael gets scared as if he's about to get arrested.)

Michael: It was my first time! Honest! I'll never do it again!

(The mysterious figure reveals himself as Bugs Bunny, a hand-drawn animated rabbit from Looney Tunes, who is seen wearing a police hat.)

Bugs Bunny: Eh...What's up, doc?

Michael: Huh? You're not a cop.

Bugs Bunny: Okay, you win. (takes off his police hat) You got me dead to rights. I'm not a cop, I'm a rabbit. But just because I got long ears doesn't mean there's nothing inbetween 'em.

(Smoke comes out of the brick wall.)

Smoke: You were running from a rabbit? (laughs) He's a cartoon. (laughs again)

Bugs Bunny: Look who's talking.

(Bugs Bunny hits Smoke with a trash can lid and puts him into the trash can itself. He then closes the trash can with its lid.)

Bugs Bunny: You know, kid. You don't look so good. What's dis? (picks up something Michael had dropped by a trash can) A joint? So, what's the big attraction? I mean, er, how did you get started anyway?

Michael: I started because I wanted to. What do you care about anyway?

(Michael walks away from Bugs Bunny, but he stops him from going anywhere.)

Bugs Bunny: Call it, er, curiosity, doc, but if you're giving me that old cause I wanted to routine, maybe you need a little memory refresher.

(Bugs Bunny takes out a blue block with a red button on it. He presses it and drops it on the ground. It turns into a time machine.)

Michael: A time machine?

Bugs Bunny: I borrowed it from some coyote.

(Bugs Bunny opens the door to the time machine and both he and Michael get inside it. Smoke opens the trash can by punching the lid off of the can. He then gets out of the trash can and sees a time machine.)

Smoke: Hey! Don't put up with that kid! He's mine!

(Smoke gets inside the time machine. Bugs Bunny closes the door to the time machine.)

Bugs Bunny: Now, let's see here. Where's that instruction manual?

(Bugs Bunny has an idea as he knows where the time machine instruction manual is. He takes it out from underneath the controls and reads it. The scene fades to the exterior view of Michael's house. The scene then cuts to Michael's parents and Alice in the kitchen. Alice is eating a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios cereal with milk, Michael's mom Lauren is washing dishes in the sink, and Michael's dad Drew is grabbing a crate of six cans of Bud Light beer from the refrigerator. Previously, there were 8 cans in the crate, but just recently, two of them are missing.)

Drew: Huh? Well, that's funny. (takes out the beer crate from the fridge) There's a couple of beers missing.

Lauren: Oh, honey, you probably drank them while watching football last night. Who else would take them?

Drew: Huh. Well, I'm gonna start cleaning out the garage.

(Drew puts the crate back in the fridge, closes the fridge door, and walks to clean out the garage.)

Drew: Call me for lunch.

(Lauren walks over to Alice, who is feeling depressed.)

Lauren: Alice, is your brother alright? He's been acting so strange lately. You know, we love you both. And if there's something wrong, we'd like to help. So, is there something wrong?

Alice: I don't know, Mom. I don't think so.

Lauren: Thanks, hon.

(Lauren walks out of the kitchen as Alice looks down at the table. Winnie the Pooh appears as he climbs up the table and talks to Alice.)

Winnie the Pooh: Excuse me, but... why didn't you tell her?

Alice: Pooh! You can talk?

Winnie the Pooh: (giggles) Of course I can.

Alice: But... you've never talked before.

Winnie the Pooh: Why, I believe you're right. But now I have something to ask if you please. Why didn't you say you were worried about Michael, too?

Alice: If I tell and he gets in trouble, he'll blame me!

Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps, but what will happen to him if you don't tell?

Alice: Oh, I don't know, Pooh. I just don't know.

(The scene cuts back to Michael, Smoke, and Bugs Bunny inside the time machine. Bugs had just finished reading the instruction manual. So, he puts it away and starts the time machine.)

Bugs Bunny: Fasten your seat belts. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. Next stop, seven years ago.

(The time machine flies up to the sky and travels seven years into the past. The scene fades to the live-action park seven years ago as the film changes from color to black and white. The scene pans to a 10-year-old Michael playing a game of frisbee with two other kids.)

Kid #1: Hey, way to go!

Kid #2: Nice catch!

Young Michael: Hey, thanks!

(The young Michael throws a frisbee while the current-aged Michael, Smoke, and Bugs Bunny, all three of which are still in color, watch him through the window from the time machine, which is also still in color.)

Michael: Hey, wait a minute! Where's the color?

Bugs Bunny: Listen, kid. This is the past, and the past is in black and white. Get it?

Michael: Uh... no. No, I don't.

Bugs Bunny: Perhaps you haven't seen the old cartoons yet, have you?

Michael: Well, I have seen some cartoons from the 1930s to the present day.

Bugs Bunny: I'm talking about the old cartoons that were made in black and white in a time before Technicolor is introduced to the world in the late 1930s. You should probably check them out sometime.

Michael: Hmmm, maybe I will.

Bugs Bunny: That's good to hear. Now, as I was saying, we have traveled seven years into the past with our time machine. This is the day where your whole life flashes before your eyes. (sees the young Michael) Erm, do you recognize that guy perchance?

Michael: (sees his 10-year-old self) Uh... it's... me... when I was a kid.

Bugs Bunny: Do tell.

(The young Michael walks to where the public restroom is when he sees a gang of middle school-aged kids smoking cigarettes.)

Young Michael: You guys cruising for lung cancer or what?

(The leader of the gang shakes his head.)

Gang Leader: Mmm-mmm. We're getting high.

(As the gang leader speaks, a cloud of smoke comes out of his mouth.)

Gang Leader: You know... (coughs out some smoke) Grass, marijuana, tobacco.

Young Michael: Well, yeah, sure, I knew that.

Gang Boy: Wanna hit?

Gang Leader: What's the matter? You're scared?

Young Michael: No? No.

(The scene cuts to the current-aged Michael and Bugs Bunny inside the time machine.)

Bugs Bunny: So, you still think it was your choice?

Michael: I didn't want them to think I was a wimp.

Bugs Bunny: Better a wimp than an all-day sucker.

Gang Girl: Everybody's doing it.

Smoke: Come on, it's no big deal. Do it!

Bugs Bunny: It's like the old saying: If everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you go too?

Michael: Well, if I hadn't tried to do any drugs, then I would have said no. But I started doing drugs anyway... therefore my answer would have to be yes.

Bugs Bunny: Hmmm, I guess you would. Wouldn't ya? Not very bright.

(The young Michael tries smoking a cigarette for the very first time and coughs out some smoke. The scene cuts back to the current-aged Michael, Bugs Bunny, and Smoke inside the time machine.)

Bugs Bunny: Definitely not one of the world's foremost thinkers.

Smoke: Hey, lighten up on my man here. He was just experimenting with some friends.

Michael: B-but they're my friends. They wouldn't do anything really wrong.

Bugs Bunny: Well, what makes you think they know any better than you?

Smoke: He... needed me. All his cares went... kaput! No worries, no bothers. (laughs)

Bugs Bunny: Everyone's got problems, kid! Even us rabbits! The point is nobody gets everything they want. What's important is what's in here. You know, what makes you "you". You've gotta believe in yourself. (eats a carrot) You may smoke a cigarette, doc, but it's what's inside that counts.

Smoke: But I make him feel good. I make him--

(Bugs Bunny grabs Smoke by the face and slams him down on the ground.)

Bugs Bunny: Sure, drugs make you feel good... for a while, but that's only temporary.

(Bugs Bunny takes out an air pump, inserts the air pump tube into Smoke's mouth, and pumps him up into a balloon.)

Bugs Bunny: Because sooner or later, your lungs will be full of smoke that you'll end up dying of lung cancer.

(Smoke spits out the air pump tube and explodes into several clouds of smoke.)

Bugs Bunny: Is that what you want, doc? Really?

Michael: Uh... I don't know.

Bugs Bunny: Well, maybe, you should try to quit smoking, and once you do, your lungs will be able to last longer and you will be able to live longer... until you die of old age, that is.

Michael: Oh, I wish I could... but I can't.

Bugs Bunny: Hmmm. Okay, then. Suit yourself. It's your life.

Michael: Just take me back to the present, please.

Bugs Bunny: Oh, okay. But promise me you'll stop using drugs. Okay?

Michael: I cross my heart and hope to die.

Bugs Bunny: Hmmm, okay. Well, back to the future.

(Bugs Bunny starts the time machine again as it flies up to the sky and travels seven years into the future.)

Part 3: Back to the Present/Michael Meets the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/The Human Brain Roller Coaster Ride
(The scene fades to Michael's house in the present day as the film changes back from black and white to color. The scene cuts to Drew in the garage. Alice walks over to talk to him.)

Alice: Dad, can I talk to you?

Drew: Sure. Anytime, sugar. What's up?

Alice: I'm worried about Michael. He's been acting really weird.

Drew: Alice, being weird is just part of being a teenager. That's all. He'll grow out of it.

Alice: I think it's more than that.

Drew: Huh?

Alice: Nothing. Nevermind.

(Alice turns around and walks back inside the house through the front door. Drew watches her leave. He then continues cleaning out the garage afterwards. The scene fades to the live-action park. The time machine appears floating down from the sky as it lands on the ground. Michael and Bugs Bunny exit the time machine. Bugs Bunny then presses the red button on the time machine and the machine itself turns back into a blue block with a red button on it. He then puts the block away in his pocket.)

Bugs Bunny: Okay, doc. You must remember that this is your first warning, so there's still more to come.

Michael: Uh, okay. Wait, what do you mean this is my first warning?

Bugs Bunny: I'm talking about the warnings of using drugs and stuff. If you don't stop using them now, well, let's just say you'll end up looking like that dead bush over here.

(The camera pans to a dead bush in the park.)

Bugs Bunny: You will no longer be alive and there's nothing you can do about it. It's the circle of life for Pete's sake. Deal with it.

Michael: You know, you're right. I'll try to stop using drugs. But how am I going to do it?

Bugs Bunny: That's the question you'll have to answer yourself. (eats a carrot) Well, I gotta go now. It's nice meeting you. See you later, doc.

(Bugs Bunny walks out of the park. Michael watches him leave.)

Michael: Uh, okay. See ya. Sheesh.

(Michael turns around and walks away. He then meets up with two teenagers who are hanging out on a bench.)

Teenage Boy: Hey, Michael! Where have you been?

Michael: Sorry. I was just walking around the park smelling some flowers and looking at trees and animals and whatnot.

Teenage Boy: What are you? A tree hugger? You should never conserve nature.

Michael: But I wasn't--

Teenage Boy: No buts!

Michael: But--

Teenage Boy: I said, "No buts!" Got it?

(Michael quickly nods.)

Teenage Boy: Hmmm. Good. So, any drugs for us today?

(The teenage girl takes out a pack of cigarettes.)

Teenage Boy: Alright! Now we're talking.

(Michael and the other two teenagers smoke cigarettes. Michael blows out the cloud of smoke as it becomes anthropomorphic once again.)

Smoke: That's it, Mikey. Smoke your cigarette. Smoke it like you mean it!

Teenage Girl: Do you remember those bags of bath salts the drug dealer gave to us for free?

Michael: Yeah?

Teenage Girl: Well, why don't we just try it for ourselves?

Teenage Boy: Yeah! It'll be way better than smoking tobacco or whatever that thing is.

Smoke: Oh, yes! Mikey, you gotta try this! It'll make you get even higher than ever.

(Michael and the other two teenagers take out the things they have in their pockets: bags of bath salts, spoons, syringes with needles, and Zippo lighters.)

Michael: Well, my family told me not to do this, but I would rather just forget them, because bath salts, here we come!

(Michael and the other two teenagers tear open the bags of bath salts and sprinkle a bagful of its contents onto their respective spoons. They then light their Zippo lighters and place them underneath their spoons. The contents from the bags of bath salts bubble and turn into liquid. They then fill up the syringes with the bath salts liquid. Michael goes first as he ties off his arm and injects bath salts into his bloodstream.)

Michael: Ow!

(The other two teenagers go last as they tie off their arms and inject bath salts into their respective bloodstreams.)

Michael: Surf's up!

(The clouds of bath salts magically appear as they surround Michael and the other two teenagers who are now already high after injecting bath salts into their bloodstreams.)

Michael and Two Other Teenagers: Whoa!

Smoke: Yes... yes! Now you're doing it!

Michael: Ho ho ho... ho! Whoo! I just got better!

Teenage Girl: So did I!

Teenage Boy: Same here!

Michael: Oh, hell yeah! Bath salts must be kicking in.

Teenage Girl: They sure are.

Michael: Whoa!

(But then, Michael sees something really strange. Pixie dust appears in the shape of a cloud of smoke.)

Michael: What?

(Suddenly, the cloud-shaped pixie dust transforms into Smoke as he appears in Michael's vision.)

Michael: What the hell?

Smoke: So, you're starting to see things thanks to bath salts, eh? Well, I'm one of those figments of your imagination. I'm the one that made you start doing drugs in the first place. I am your master.

Michael: Whoa! A talking cloud of smoke? You're actually real?

Smoke: I told you I'm just a figment of your imagination. A really bad one, that is.

Michael: Oh, yeah. I see.

(Michael and the other two teenagers go back to smoking cigarettes.)

Teenage Girl: Man, bath salts are the best out of all the drugs in the world. You know, for ten bucks, I can score us some crack.

Smoke: Oh, yeah! Crack! Now we're talking.

Teenage Girl: You've got money, Michael.

Michael: But...

(As Michael blows out some smoke, he hears Bugs Bunny's voice in his head.)

Bugs Bunny: (voice in Michael's head) If you don't stop using drugs now, you'll end up becoming addicted to drugs, and before you know it, you'll have to use drugs just to feel normal and there's nothing you can do about it.

Michael: Crack?! That's serious stuff. One extreme drug is bad enough but if I take another extreme drug, I could seriously get really messed up.

Teenage Boy: Come on, Michael. You're not gonna chicken out on your friends, are ya?

Smoke: Yeah! What are you? A baby?

(Michael turns around and walks away but Smoke takes Michael's wallet out from the back pocket of his jeans and tosses it to the teenage girl.)

Teenage Girl: Aha! I got your wallet!

(The teenage girl runs off with Michael's wallet.)

Michael: What the? Hey! Give me that back!

(Michael goes after the teenage girl. Smoke follows him as Michael chases the teenage girl out of the park and through an alley. The teenage girl runs past a manhole. An unseen green mutant turtle humanoid, who is hand-drawn animated, opens the manhole as he puts the manhole cover on the road. The mutant then hides as Michael runs along the road only to fall down through the open manhole.)

Michael: Huh? What the? (screams) HEEEY!!!

(Smoke flies around the alley but ends up getting hit on the head with the manhole cover by the unseen mutant. Smoke then falls down through the manhole. The unseen mutant closes the manhole with its cover afterwards. Both Michael and Smoke land on the sewage in the sewers. Then, they were greeted by the unseen mutant turtle that is none other than Raphael, the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Three other hand-drawn animated mutant turtles that are with Raphael are Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello, also from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.)

Michelangelo: Cowabunga, dude!

Michael: Aah! Mutants! They're gonna take over the world!

Raphael: Hey, dude! Relax. It's only four of us mutant turtles.

Michael: Who... who are you?

Raphael: Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm Raphael, the leader of my team... the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And this is Leonardo...

Leonardo: Hey!

Raphael: ...Michelangelo...

Michelangelo: Sup!

Raphael: ...and Donatello.

Donatello: It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. What is your name?

Michael: I'm Michael Druganis.

Raphael: It's nice to meet you, Michael. So, what are you doing here?

Michael: Somebody stole my wallet. I was just trying to get it back from her, but then, I ended up here. What are you doing here?

Raphael: We stopped you from ever getting that wallet. We don't want you spending hundreds of dollars on drugs. They're bad for you.

Leonardo: It can make you act really weird in a different kind of way than an average teenager normally would.

Donatello: It can give you cancer... or even worse... death!

Michelangelo: It can, like, seriously damage your brain. Now, how did you ever get so totally cool?

Michael: I don't know.

(Smoke emerges from the sewage filthy and wet.)

Raphael: You were using drugs, weren't you?

Michael: Okay, first of all, I have no idea what you're talking about. Second of all, turtles are supposed to be living in forests, deserts, and/or grasslands, not sewers. And third of all, how on earth did I end up here?

Michelangelo: Like, you fell through a radical hole, dude. That's how you ended up in the sewers. You could have avoided it but you weren't thinking. Come to think of it, that's a lot of your problem.

Michael: What problem?

Michelangelo: Drugs, bud.

Raphael: Weren't you paying attention to us when we tell you that drugs can harm you?

Michael: Uh, no? Why?

Michelangelo: I'm afraid there's, like, something wrong with you. Your brain must be, like, really messed up.

Smoke: Drugs don't do anything to your brain, they just make you feel good. Right, Mikey?

Michael: Uh, right. Heh heh. Heh.

Michelangelo: Aw, dude, if you're taking his word for it, you're really in trouble. Better see it for yourself.

Michael: What are you talking about?

Michelangelo: This! That's what.

(Michelangelo pulls out the drain plug and both Michael and Smoke get sucked in through the drain, and then, they end up falling from the dark purple-reddish-pink sky.)

Michael and Smoke: Ahhhhhhh!!!

(Michael and Smoke land on the seats on a roller coaster cart which is part of a longer roller coaster train.)

Michael and Smoke: Oof!

Michael: Where am I?

(Michael sees the CGI animated Muppet Babies from Muppet Babies, Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, Baby Fozzie, Baby Gonzo, Baby Animal, and Summer Penguin, preparing to ride the roller coaster.)

Baby Kermit: Well, you're about to take a trip through the human brain thanks to the power of imagination.

(Baby Kermit pulls the lever and the roller coaster train starts moving.)

Baby Kermit: For your safety, please make sure to fasten your seat belts and remember to keep your hands, arms, feet, legs, and tails inside the vehicle at all times. And don't forget to supervise your children, if you ever have any.

Baby Piggy: And after we go on this ride, Kermit's taking me to the Tunnel of Love. Aren't you, Kermie? (cuddles Baby Kermit)

Baby Kermit: Um, right.

Baby Piggy: How romantic. (stops cuddling Baby Kermit and gasps) THE HUMAN BRAIN!?!

(The roller coaster train enters the human brain.)

Baby Kermit: You see, Michael, drugs can take you off and make you feel okay for a while.

Smoke: Yeah! I'll say. (laughs)

(The roller coaster train goes over the top of the human brain, and stops, viewing the long drop. Michael looks down at the drop and gulps in fear.)

Michael: Oh, my god! I'm afraid of heights!

(The roller coaster train descends downward and picks up speed. Smoke is about to fall out of the roller coaster train but he hangs on to the back of it.)

Baby Kermit: (starts shouting) But for every up, there's a down! And the bigger the up, the steeper the down!

More coming soon!
