One day, while he and his father prepare to paint the garage, he sees a fox cub who moved into a new cave. He introduced to Abner as George. George managed to paint the garage quicker than him. George then befriends Abner by taking him to his farm, where his father, Rufus is an actual farmer. The two then played on the farm together and swim in the swimming hole. One day, while running through the forest, they notice a wanted poster with the faces of an enemy named "Mad Malvolio" and his teddy bear "sidekick," "Teddy."... Eventually, Mad Malvolio, planning to take control of the neighborhood, releases flying bowler hats, called "Anger Hats," that force everyone to hang onto their anger. ... Abner and George confront Malvolio and soon, two bowler hats attach to them, ... Just then, an orange tabby cat approaches... and introuces himself as Tobey. Then time passes since the Malvolio's defeat at Abner and George's paws. As teen critters, Abner, George and the latter's brother, Dennis read a magazine on female critters and see a Maid Marian-like vixen (similar to the character from the Disney animated film, Robin Hood) in a pink bikini. Abner looks at a brown bear in a white bikini and gives remarks on her. Dennis suggests that if you want to find a mate, you should find one in a bikini. He also mentioned in addition to kissing her in the usual way, kiss her on the stomach, as long as there is no piercing on the navel.
 * 2) Bridgette & Rosie - Bridgette and Francine are both cooks and were taught by their mother. Together, the two always keep their cave clean every day non-stop round the clock. One day, when Bridgette was walking in the forest, she sees a vixen cub named Rosie, who was lost in the forest. As the two play in the forest, they notice a wanted poster with the faces of two notorious sisters, "Bibi 'Snow' and 'Heat' Kalinda Micelle." Rosie then reads the bottom of the poster, "They're too much." This scares her so much, that Bridgette takes her to her cave to comfort her and make her a nice warm dinner and shows her a headline that reads "Heroes: Two cubs (a bear and a fox) defeat Mad Malvolio and his army of Flying Bowler Hats." Meanwhile, Rosie's sister, Jeanette looks for Rosie and finds her in Bridgette's cave. Jeanette was revealed to be playing hide-and-seek with Rosie. Bridgette's mother then tells her that her favorite yodeler is playing at the concert tonight. ... However, as both families attend the concert, the performance goes wrong when Bibi and Kalinda Micelle (the same two criminals who Bridgette and Rosie saw on the poster) kidnaps the yodeler and takes him to their castle to join the other yodelers that they are holding captive. Bridgette and Rosie (after being trained to be spies) then go a mission to find the castle. They disguise themselves as a yodeler and they get "yodelnapped" and taken to the castle. After revealing themselves to Bibi and Kalinda, Bridgette and Rosie release the trapped yodelers, but the group falls into a pit ... Then time passes since Bibi and Kalinda's defeat in Bridgette and Rosie's paws. When Bridgette, Rosie and Jeanette became teen critters, they look at a girl critter magazine to find the best critter man. One of them is a Nick Wilde-like artist and Rosie thinks that he's a handsome fox. Bridgette on the other hand finds a blue bear with a green sweater and a hat [both combining elements of Baloo from The Jungle Book and Little John from Robin Hood] and gives a remark on his stomach: "His belly is a drum."
 * 3) Critter Bachelors - During a spring break at the critter college, Abner and George travel to Fort Caulderdale. Their goal is to find a perfect mate. While spending the night in a hotel room, Abner sleep-walks into the outdoor pool and sees a bear in an indigo bikini. Abner gives a remark on her. He sees the bear swimming in the pool and introduces to Abner as Bridgette. The two enjoy a romantic swim in the pool and Bridgette takes Abner to her hotel room to make love until they notice that the ice cream machine is malfunctioning. Following its violent explosion, Bridgette discovers a bottled substance known as Ultra Sucrose Enhancement Catalyzer, which the police chief suspects was used for "chemical sabotage" of the machine. Eventually, they learn that this is the work of a man named "Sir NuMaurice," who exposes the bear couple to some strange chemicals from his flower. ... Meanwhile, the next morning, in the beach general store, he sees a vixen modeling a jade bikini. George's eyes begin to blush as he stares at the vixen's body and gives a remark on her stomach. The model introduces herself as Rosie who touches George's stomach. George then rubs and kisses Rosie's stomach and falls in love with her. The two travel to Rosie's winter condo which they relax in a hot tub. However, unbeknownst to them, they are spied on by NuMaurice's sidekick, a woman named "Gabrielle." As George massages Rosie's stomach from the middle, Gabrielle sprays from her flower the same chemicals that the bear couple got exposed to onto the fox couple too. ... Little did both couples realize when they feel superior to everyone else in the critter college, they put them down, causing them to be shrunk, captured and taken to NuMaurice's lab. ... Soon, they see a pink cat (resembling Kitty of the Danger Rangers) in a blue bikini, explains to the couples about NuMaurice's plan and that he was using them to make them feel superior to their pride's victims. ... The couples then realize what they've done and arrive at NuMaurice's lab only to be confronted by much deadlier and more dangerous clones of themselves called "Alter Egos." ... Both couples then return the critter college-goers to their normal sizes and begin to fight with NuMaurice and... Later, after the couples defeated NuMaurice, Abner and George visit the beach and saw their respective mates dating. In a montage... Abner runs to Bridgette and rubs her stomach, ending it drawing a heart around it and putting an engagement ring on (using it as a belly ring). George and Rosie swim in the ocean, splashing each other and ending it with George writing it on Rosie's stomach: "Rosie, will you marry me?" The two mates accept this and the couples run across the pier and jump into the ocean. One year later, the critter couples get hitched in Fort Caulderdale and the bear couple went to ... while the Fox couple go to .... to serve as their honeymoons.
