Inanimate Insanity: Darkness and Downfall

Inanimate Insanity: Darkness and Downfall (also known as Inanimate Insanity: The Movie) is a 2022 animated film. It is a fan film of the web series Inanimate Insanity. The movie will be darker than the series and is intended for more mature audiences. Production will begin after the finale of Inanimate Insanity 2 is released.

The film is also considered to be influenced by The Second Inanimate Insanity Movie (a sequel to Inanimate Insanity: Movie Madness), Struggle For Dream Island (a fanmade BFDI sequel) and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Summary
This film is set roughly a year after the events of Inanimate Insanity II's finale. Despite the fact the show had already ended by then, some problems that had occured in it had still not been solved (such as the conflict between Balloon, Suitcase, and Nickel).

Yin and Yang are separated, and Yang runs off to cause unstoppable destruction. Steve Cobs then discovers something that could possibly lead to him becoming omnipotent.

Meanwhile, an individual who (is a Meeple product) was once thought to be dead is found alive by Fan. Her name is MePhone6S. She is a hostile being who is living in hiding and wants to avenge the death of her friend, MePhone 3GS. She is voiced by Dua Lipa.

An evil spirit is also lurking in the island... and they plan to make everyone's lives a living hell. They start out by disabling MeLife and possessing some of the former contestants so they start growing violent towards each other. And there are some small implications that Yang may be in cahoots with them.

As some characters die throughout the film, the ones who are still alive* have to survive in order to figure out what's wrong with MeLife and bring them back.

(This part of the plot will only happen if Taco doesn't redeem herself by the time Inanimate Insanity 2 ends. If she does redeem herself, then this part will be dropped) Taco has also been seeking forgiveness from the former Season 1 contestants, feeling remorse for what she did. Microphone understands her and wants to help her prove to the others that she changed for the better.

Note: Soap and MePhone6S are a couple of them.

Plot
The film opens with a scene narrated by OJ, explaining what had happened over a year since Inanimate Insanity ended (such as celebrating the show's 10th anniversary)

(Main plot will not be written until the Inanimate Insanity series finale is released)

Cast
'''NOTE: VOICE ACTORS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANCE THEY MAY NOT WANT TO REPRISE THEIR ROLES IN THE MOVIE. And that's OK if they don't want to.'''

Taylor Grodin as OJ: One of the main protagonists of the film. The winner of the first season of Inanimate Insanity, a former male contestant, and the owner of a hotel known as "Hotel OJ". He is known as "the normal guy". Best friends with Paper. Before the events of the film, he, along with the other former Season 1 contestants whom didn't return for Season 2 all seem to have forgiven Balloon for his actions in Season 1, as they all don't have a conflict with him in the film. He has aquaphobia (fear of water).

Mark Katz (and Christian Potenza, using archive recordings) as MePhone 4: One of the main protagonists of the film. The former host of Inanimate Insanity. He was originally the host of a game show similar to Total Drama Island and Battle For Dream Island, known as Inanimate Insanity. He appears nice to many others. He has the ability to bring back any contestants that have died at will (except Bow and Dough). He seems to have an eating disorder, as he would frequently eat the cookies that were supposed to be given out as prizes. He also has an ambiguous mental disorder, possibly depression or PTSD, due to how Steve Cobs treated him.

Adam Katz as Baseball: A former male contestant of Inanimate Insanity, and the former leader of The Grand Slams. He was in an alliance with his best friend Nickel, and one of his former rivals Suitcase. He has a courageous and trustworthy personality, and cares about his former alliance members, he even cares about Suitcase despite the fact that she was his rival after Nickel's elimination, which means he may have made up with her before the events of the film. He hates being called "fat", and often responds to it by punting the offender into the distance.

Michael Bruzzone as Lightbulb: A former female contestant of Inanimate Insanity, and the former leader of The Bright Lights and Team Epic. She has a goofy personality and is best friends with Paintbrush. She has a love for cookies and may have Pica, a desire to eat inedible things, as she has eaten a stick and a yarn ball, has tried to eat her team's bucket and one of MePhone's memory diamonds.

Adam Katz as Nickel: A former male contestant of Inanimate Insanity. He is often sarcastic, and used to be in an alliance with his best friend Baseball and rival Suitcase. He still dislikes Suitcase and Balloon, but he doesn't act as rude to them in the film like he did in the series. He and Baseball are often seen together, as they are friends.

Samuel Thornsbury as Suitcase: A former female contestant of Inanimate Insanity. She was formerly in an alliance with Baseball and Nickel. She may have made up with her former alliance members before the events of the film, as they don't seem to have a conflict in the film. She may have schizophrenia due to her constant hallucinations.

Ben Cross as Balloon: A former male contestant of Inanimate Insanity, and the former leader of Team Chickenleg. He was once rude and manipulative, but has since left his old ways behind to redeem himself in Season 2. Best friends with Suitcase.

Kacie Chapman as Soap: A female contestant of Inanimate Insanity, and the leader of a new team: Team Sunday. She was once really well-loved by all objects. All objects, except Steve Cobs. Meeples loved Soap too. But in the series Steve Cobs thought Soap was a culprit. But not only is she the only one that was a fan of neither darkness nor downfall. Vibha Milkote is her singing voice.

Dua Lipa (and Niall Burns, except he voices her pitched down) as the unknown individual Meeple (A.K.A. MePhone6S) : She has never been to Inanimate Insanity before. Her singing voice is the same as the actor voice, Dua Lipa. Her birthday is at March 10, 1999. The movie is released the day after her 23rd birthday. MePhone6S also was not a fan of darkness or downfall.

(W.I.P)

Reception
The film was praised, but was also criticized for the plot being incomprehensible to those who have not seen the series before this film.

Fans of the original series praised the film for staying true to its source material despite being darker and edgier, except Soap and the new meeple. They´re not fans of darkness and downfall.
