1. Opening/Hollywood

 * Disney Logo.
 * [Sunlight flashes at the camera.]
 * [We look down from the air at the Pacific Ocean. We zoom across it until we see California. We zoom in to a place called Hollywood. The place is populated by cartoon characters and humans. There's Chip 'n Dale, Huey, Dewey, & Louie, and other characters you're familiar with.]
 * (Disney presents)
 * [Fiction]
 * [Benny the Cab, with Roger inside, drives into a movie studio lot. Benny passes by some cars, people, and toons.]
 * Roger Rabbit: Whee!
 * Benny the Cab: Hang on tight, Roger!
 * Roger: Ride 'em! Giddyap, Benny!
 * Benny: Hey, Lady, outta the way! [A woman shrieks in terror.]
 * [Guido places a tire in his tire tower. He and Luigi are happy with it and a photographer takes a photo of it.]
 * Photographer: Smile. [The photo is taken, then Benny passes by the tire tower, startling them.]
 * Benny: Hey, Luigi and Guido! Nice Tower!
 * Roger: Fantastico!
 * [Jonas, Joseph, and Johnson wait outside of Stage 10 when Benny arrives next to them.]
 * Benny: Your rabbit is here, boys.
 * Jonas Fiction: Thanks, Benny. [Jonas and his brothers take Roger inside.]
 * Roger: Oh boy, I'm dying to see this. It makes me think all of shorts with me and Baby Herman. [While Roger is still talking, Lightning McQueen and Mater drive up next to Benny.]
 * Lightning: Hey, Benny. What's up?
 * Benny: Lightning McQueen and Mater. I drove Roger to this stage. They're filming History of Fiction.
 * Mater: I'm sure that film will be fu-un.
 * [In the studio building, everyone is getting the movie ready. Roger runs and sits in a chair so he can see the film.]
 * Roger: I can't wait to see this.
 * Script Supervisor: (To Jonas, Joseph, and Johnson) Alright, boys. You all rehearsed and ready?
 * Jonas, Joseph, Johnson: We're ready.
 * Script Supervisor: (To director) They're ready!
 * Director: Okay. Ahem. (Through megaphone) Places, everyone! Quiet on the set! History of Fiction is about to begin! (Normal Volume to Walter Marcus) And for the three words. (Through megaphone) Lights! Camera!
 * Cameraman: Speed!
 * Assistant Cameraman: (Claps the clapperboard) Marker!
 * Director: And Action!

2. History of Fiction/Carrot Cake

 * [Movie starts with words, History of Fiction, and a fanfare. An artist paints a picture of Mickey Mouse on an easel with Mickey Mouse next to him.]
 * Robert Art: (Looks at Camera) Oh hi. I didn't see you guys there. I'm Robert Art, and you know Mickey.
 * Mickey: (Waves) Hi, everybody. Check out this painting of me. Isn't it neat?
 * Robert Art: (Chuckles) Such a nice guy.
 * Jonas: He sure is.
 * Joseph: Absolutely.
 * Johnson: Yeah, sure.
 * Robert Art: Huh? Oh, boys. You're just in time for the History of Fiction.
 * Jonas: Oh please, tell us.
 * Joseph: I want to hear it so bad.
 * Johnson: Tell us now.
 * Robert Art: Oh-ho kay. Sit down. [The three brothers sit down.] Back in 1906, [Screen fades to 1906, black and white] J. Stuart Blackton created and released Humorous Phases with Funny Faces. [Blackton draws an old man on a chalkboard.] That was the day cartoons came to life. [The old man drawing looks at Blackton and winks, surprising him.] Literally.
 * [Cuts to 1926]
 * Robert Art: Later, Walt Disney, the founder of Disney Studios, came up a design for his toon after Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. [Walt thinks as he draws.] He made this guy short-statured and gave him simplistic clothing: red shorts and yellow shoes, white gloves, four fingers instead of five on each hand, a high voice, sliced pies for eyes and three circles for the head, two small ones for the ears. [1926 Mickey Mouse comes to life and dances, much to Walt's surprise.] And what do we get?
 * Mickey: (Offscreen) Mickey Mouse.
 * Robert Art: (Offscreen) That's right. Mickey Mouse.
