A Chucklewood Pandemic

A Chucklewood Pandemic is a direct-to-video special in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This special takes place during Johnny and Robyn's junior years in high school.

Plot
In Chucklewood, as the younger critters get ready to begin another day in the Little Critter School, they are stopped by their assistant teacher Chuck Mabor. He explains to them that Miss Love has a strange virus and requires to quarantine for two weeks. He sends the class back to home. Meanwhile, Jonesy originally plans for Chucklewood to have it's annual birthday party, but he receives a phone call from his nephew that the country is in a germ pandemic and the governor has issued a stay-at-home order. Jonesy alerts all the critters in Chucklewood to stay home during this pandemic. In Buttons and Rusty's cave, the fathers begin to spread out the beds six feet away in order to maintain social distancing. Dr. Macquarie stop by to teach the cubs and their folks how to social distance and wash hands carefully and provides them a tablet which they can video chat other critters during this pandemic. The boy cubs communicate with the girl cubs first on the tablet and are sad that someday soon they can get back together once the ranger says it's safe to do so. The boy cubs communicate with Johnny and talking to him how the school is handling this pandemic and learns that all of the instruction is taught online. In Sarah's cave, Sarah is starting to miss being in the school with her classmates and babysitters (even her best friends, Lisa and Cody). She is completing her school activities from home that Miss Love distributed while she is quarantining. Dennis completes archery form home instead of going to the club. Stacy is doing virtual lifeguard instruction from her home. Sarah then wonders how would she have her stomach rubbed. Stacy places a tablet by placing the camera on her stomach and begins to video chat with the girl cubs. Stacy then rubs Sarah's stomach while Frisky rubs her tablet screen. Stacy then calls this a virtual belly rub.

In the suburb, the superintendent of the school switches to an all-virtual learning experience. Principal Pines and a few other teachers from school have tested positive for the germs and is forced to quarantine. One month later, the governor introduced a mask-mandate to help spread the virus. All of the critters in Chucklewood are forced to wear masks. Most of the critters protest this, especially the suburb with signs marking “Get us back to work!”, “I want to go back to school!”, “End this pandemic!”, etc. Jonesy forces to close Chucklewood Lake to swimming to avoid spreading the germs. Meanwhile, Sarah was worried that how is she going to go swimming.

As the next school year began, the schools implement the following restrictions until there is light at the end of the tunnel: In person learning for two days, virtual learning for three days. Field trips are suspended. The Little Critter School switched to hybrid learning with half of the class attended in-person for two days, the other half attended virtually.
