DreamWorks & Guru Journey to the Wishing Star: A CGI Cartoon Crossover Movie(With Cartoon SFX)

Scene 1

EXT. SPACE - NIGHT

The camera SOARS through a vibrant galaxy of swirling celestial gases and jewel-like constellations. The UNIVERSAL PICTURES LOGO, a rotating globe, appears. It glides away, replaced by the DREAMWORKS ANIMATION LOGO, where a boy fishes from the moon. The shot WIDENS to reveal a smaller, colorful shape that inflates and forms the GURU LOGO, which settles beside the boy on the moon.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Voice by Antonio Banderas) A long, long time ago... beyond the edge of our galaxy... a cosmic power, a beacon of hope... blazed into existence. A Wishing Star. A new star flares to life, shedding enchanted light. It begins to fall, plummeting through the cosmos.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) It was said that anyone who found the star could have one wish. But finding it was a quest fraught with danger...

INT. STAR BRIGHT STAR NIGHT MUSEUM - NIGHT

The scene transitions to a grand museum filled with galactic and astral exhibits. A plaque on the wall reads: "Star Bright Star Night Museum, Home of All Stars with Speaking." The large, intricate front doors open with a magical WOOSH.

BIG BIRD and MR. SNUFFLEUPAGUS (SNUFFY) shuffle in, a little flustered. They are wearing museum security guard caps.

BIG BIRD Oh, hello there, everyone! Welcome to the Star Bright Star Night Museum!

SNUFFY Yes, hello! We were just getting ready to close for the night, but we can't resist showing you our favorite exhibit.

Big Bird and Snuffy start a tour, pointing out various displays.

BIG BIRD And over here we have a lovely galaxy made of felt and glitter.

SNUFFY (Nuzzling the galaxy display) It's very sparkly, Big Bird.

They arrive at a central exhibit, a round platform with a scrapbook-style screen. Around the platform are statues of the TrollsTopia gang, frozen mid-song and dance.

BIG BIRD But our grandest exhibit is the Story of the Wishing Star!

Suddenly, the Trolls statues GLOW. A magical, cartoon-y ZAP sound effect is heard. The trolls come to life, leaping off their pedestals and stretching with cartoon SFX. Poppy does a celebratory jump.

POPPY (Voice by Amanda Leighton) Whoo! Time to tell the story!

BRANCH (Voice by Skylar Astin) Poppy, we've told this story a million times. We're part of the exhibit. We don't get visitors.

POPPY (Ignoring him, turning to the audience) But this time it's even bigger! It's movie-sized!

INT. STAR BRIGHT STAR NIGHT MUSEUM - CONTINUOUS

The other Trolls get in position.

VAL THUNDERSHOCK (Voice by Lauren Mayhew) Ready to rock!

HOLLY DARLIN’ (Voice by Megan Hilty) Y'all ready for some country?

DANTE CRESCENDO (Voice by J.P. Karliak) Our tale is ready to be composed.

SYNTH (Voice by Vladimir Caamaño) Let's get this techno beat started!

COOPER (Voice by Ron Funches) This llama is ready to funk it up!

POPPY (Grinning) Alright, everyone. Are you ready?

All the Trolls, including the usually grumpy Branch, nod enthusiastically.

POPPY Once upon a time... The screen on the circular platform behind them GLOWS with scrapbook-style animations.

POPPY ...there were a few brave heroes: Justin... A scrapbook drawing of JUSTIN appears on screen.

POPPY ...his little sister Rita... A drawing of RITA appears.

POPPY ...his little brother Sam Gillman... A drawing of SAM GILLMAN appears.

POPPY ...his girlfriend Suzie Kid... A drawing of SUZIE KID appears.

POPPY ...and his frenemy Jailbreak... A drawing of JAILBREAK appears.

POPPY ...who saved their friend Olive from the clutches of the evil Chef Pig! A drawing of CHEF PIG appears with an evil grin.

MUSICAL NUMBER: The Wishing Star/Main Title

The music swells. The Trolls launch into a parody of "The Gospel Truth/Main Title" from Hercules. Poppy takes the lead.

POPPY (SINGING) (Leaps off the stage) Oh, tell me, is it true? Is it fact? Is it so? What the storytellers tell is what you need to know!

(The screen shows a scrapbook animation of a Wishing Star falling.)

BRANCH (SINGING) (Jumps into a defensive stance) It was a wishing star, they say it fell! Landed in the swamp, and caused a smell!

(The animation shows the star landing in "Mattress Land," a swampy area.)

VAL (SINGING) (Shreds an air guitar solo) Three heroes tried to go and get it! SpongeBob, Mickey, and Bugs-- they'd never quit it!

(SpongeBob, Mickey Mouse, and Bugs Bunny appear on the screen, hiking the trail.)

HOLLY DARLIN’ (SINGING) (Does a hoe-down dance step) But the timer ran out, y'all, what a plight! Star Butterfly said, "Time up," and they vanished from sight!

(Star Butterfly's face appears in a cartoon speech bubble, and the timer counts down to 0, making the three heroes disappear. They reappear in Chef Pig's Factory.)

DANTE CRESCENDO (SINGING) (Conducts an invisible orchestra) Chef Pig cooked them up, oh, what a fright! Locked them up in his dark room, no sunlight!

(The animation shows Chef Pig caging the heroes and locking them in his kitchen.)

SYNTH (SINGING) (Does a breakdance move) But the heroes tracked him down, they showed no fear! Rescued all the cartoon characters and saved the day, yeah!

(The heroes appear in the animation, tracking Chef Pig and rescuing the caged characters.)

COOPER & LOWNOTE JONES (SINGING) (Funk music beat drops, and they do a cool dance) With a snap and a tap, the bad guys went to jail! The Pig Cookers, Smurf Cookers, and Minion Cookers too, oh what a tale!

(The animation shows the villains being rounded up and sent to "Misty Luggins' Prison.")

The music reaches a crescendo, and the Trolls land perfectly back on the museum stage, posing dramatically.

POPPY (Beaming at the audience) And now, the movie begins!

The Trolls continue to sing the theme, the music swelling as a movie curtain opens on the screen, revealing a colorful, animated world—the JUSTIN TIME WORLD.

(The screen shows the title cards.)

Scene 2

EXT. JUSTIN'S HOUSE - MORNING

The sun, a shining SOLROCK, hangs bright in the sky. All around, BIRD POKÉMON of every known region—from the Kanto Pidgey to the Paldean Fidough—sing and chirp happily. The neighborhood is alive with cheerful morning noise.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS) In this quiet corner of the world, a

certain little house was just beginning to stir.

INT. JUSTIN'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

JUSTIN (8), wearing a white T-shirt with red trim, is sound asleep in his bed. He clutches a well-worn teddy bear, Moo-Moo Bear, tightly.

SQUIDGY (O.S.) (as an alarm clock) (TOM KENNY) BZZZT-BZZZT-BZZZT! Good morning, Justin! Time to rise and shine!

Justin mumbles and pulls his pillow over his head.

SQUIDGY (O.S.) Come on, sleepyhead! There are worlds to explore and adventures to be had!

Justin groans, sits up, and rubs his eyes. He then picks at his ear and pulls out a bit of earwax.

JUSTIN (To Squidgy) Ugh, Squidgy, is it morning already? I was having the best dream. About riding a dinosaur made of chocolate.

SQUIDGY (O.S.) (Sound of a "boingy" spring effect) What are we waiting for? Let's make today even better than a chocolate dinosaur!

INT. BATHROOM - LATER

Justin and SQUIDGY, now a tub of kooky clay, stand in front of the sink. Justin holds his toothbrush, and Squidgy uses a smaller brush to scrub his own surface.

JUSTIN Okay, Squidgy. First step: Operation Fresh Breath!

SQUIDGY (Bubbling sound effect) Scrub-a-dub-dub, get the germs! And then… we run!

INT. STAIRCASE - LATER

Justin and Squidgy, who has now formed himself into a pair of roller skates for Justin's feet, fly down the stairs with a cartoon WHOOSH!

JUSTIN (Laughing) Whoa, faster, Squidgy, faster!

SQUIDGY (as roller skates) (Cartoon WHEEE! sound) Hang on tight, buddy! We're making good time!

INT. KITCHEN - LATER

Justin and Squidgy arrive at the breakfast table, where MR. PEARSON (JACK BLACK) and MRS. PEARSON (HEATHER BAMBRICK) are waiting. Mr. Pearson is reading a newspaper, and Mrs. Pearson is pouring juice.

MR. PEARSON (Looking over his paper) Looks like someone's got a case of the morning zoomies.

JUSTIN Squidgy said we were on a mission! (Takes a bite of Toast) Mission: Scarf down breakfast!

SQUIDGY (as a cereal box character) (Cartoon announcer voice) And for a limited time only, get a free Squidgy-O's decoder ring!

EXT. FRONT PORCH - LATER

Justin has put a collar and leash on Squidgy, who has now transformed into a playful, orange clay dog. The cartoon dog wags its tail, excitedly panting.

JUSTIN Ready for a run, boy?

SQUIDGY DOG (Barks excitedly, in Tom Kenny's voice) (WOOF-WOOF!) The park is calling! The squirrels are waiting! Let's go, let's go!

Squidgy Dog takes off, pulling Justin with him. Justin holds on to the leash, his feet dragging slightly before he gains speed.

MR. PEARSON (Waving from the doorway) You two have fun!

MRS. PEARSON (Waving) Be back in time for lunch!

JUSTIN (Calling back as he is pulled away) You got it! Woo-hoo!

Squidgy Dog and Justin disappear down the street as the sun shines brightly above.

EXT. PARK ENTRANCE - DAY

A soft, friendly music plays. The camera glides past an urban streetscape filled with vibrant colors. ANTONIO BANDERAS's warm, familiar voice narrates.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) There was once a time, not so long ago, when wishes were simple things. The wish for a warm cookie, the wish for a sunny day, or the wish for an adventure... the best kind of wishes.

SQUIDGE DOG, an orange tub of kooky clay, enthusiastically pulls JUSTIN, age 8, along the sidewalk. Justin, wearing his white t-shirt with red trim, strains to keep up, his small feet pattering quickly to match Squidgy's pace.

JUSTIN (Gasping) Whoa there, Squidgy! Slow down! What's the rush?

SQUIDGY DOG (In Tom Kenny's voice) (A high-pitched, excited bark) Park, park, park! Go, go, go!The narrator continues as the pair passes by.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) But not everyone has pure wishes in their heart. Some wishes are... a little more complicated.

Squidgy's momentum is so great that he nearly drags Justin right through the COLORBLOCKS. Red, Blue, and Yellow are busy building a colorful block tower.

RED Yelling playfully) Watch out! A blur of orange and red!

BLUE (Calmly) My stack is leaning slightly to the left...

YELLOW (A little overwhelmed) The blocks! They're wobbling! Oh no!

Squidgy and Justin zip past the park benches, where COURTNEY and BRIDGETTE from Total DramaRama are having a picnic. Courtney looks irritated as Squidgy's clay body stretches and warps to speed past them, making a wet, sloshing "SPLOOSH" sound effect.

COURTNEY (Annoyed) Ugh! That dog is dripping on our potato salad!

BRIDGETTE (Calmly, taking a bite of a sandwich) A little extra seasoning never hurt anyone.

At a bus stop, DEVIL STEVEN and the ANGEL EMOJI are waiting for a bus. Devil Steven is tapping his hoof impatiently, while the Angel Emoji hovers serenely.

SQUIDGY DOG (A friendly, yipping bark) Hello!

DEVIL STEVEN (In Sean Hayes' voice, surprised) Whoa! Hey, you two need a lift? This bus is never on time!

ANGEL EMOJI (In Melissa Sturm's voice, kindly) My goodness, what delightful energy!

Justin manages to slow Squidgy to a stop once they're inside the park. The park is a lush, sunny expanse, with green lawns and tall trees. A light, whimsical music plays.

JUSTIN (Breathing heavily) Whoo! Made it! Okay, Squidgy. Now what?

Squidgy wiggles excitedly.

SQUIDGY (In Tom Kenny's voice) Fetch!

Justin pulls a bright red frisbee from his backpack. He winds up and throws it with all his might. The frisbee soars through the air with a cartoon "WHOOSH!" sound effect. It lands and clatters harmlessly against a wooden telephone pole.

JUSTIN (Disappointed)

Aww, I missed.

Squidgy zips over to retrieve the frisbee. As he does, his nose sniffs something interesting on the telephone pole. He pulls on the frisbee with his mouth, and it dislodges a "WANTED" poster, revealing the villains behind it.

Justin walks up to the pole and looks at the poster. It features the wanted faces of THE BAD GUYS: Jailbreak (The Hacker Emoji), Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha.

JUSTIN (Intrigued) Whoa! Look, Squidgy! A wanted poster! "The Bad Guys!

Justin reads the poster aloud, his voice full of curiosity.

JUSTIN It says here... "Jailbreak, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha... escaped from Chief Misty Luggins' prison years ago."

SQUIDGY In Tom Kenny's voice) Escape? Bad! Bad!

A frantic jingle from a coin purse can be heard off-screen, followed by a loud "YIPE!" A panicked COIN EMOJI, played by Charlie Day, runs toward them, dropping a trail of coins behind him.

COIN EMOJI (In Charlie Day's voice, nervously) Help, help! It's them! They're back! The Bad Guys! They're stealing all the money from the bank!

A cartoonish alarm blares in the distance: "WHEE-WOO-WHEE-WOO!"

JUSTIN (Gasping) We gotta do something!

Justin quickly pulls out his "Squidgy Binoculars," which are just Squidgy's eye stalks stretching out into a pair of wobbly, clay binoculars with a "BONK" sound effect.

SQUIDGY (In Tom Kenny's voice) Ready for action!

Through the binoculars, they see JAILBREAK (Mallory Low), MS. TARANTULA (Mallory Low), MR. WOLF (Michael Godere), MR. SNAKE (Chris Diamantopoulos), MR. SHARK (Ezekiel Ajeigbe), and MR. PIRANHA (Raul Ceballos) bursting out of the Bank with Large, Cartoonish Bags of Money. They all pile into the "Bad Guys Mobile," a sleek, Black Xar that revs with a loud "VRROOOM!" sound effect.

JAILBREAK (In Mallory Low's voice, triumphantly) We're rich! Let's get out of here!

The mobile screeches away with a cartoon "SKKKKRT!" sound effect.

JUSTIN (Determined) We're not letting them get away with this!

Justin pulls a toy police hat from his backpack and puts it on. Squidgy, with a "WHOOSH" sound effect, grows a pair of cool-looking sunglasses.

SQUIDGY (In Tom Kenny's voice) Officer Squidgy reporting for duty!

Justin runs over to a nearby toy electric car, the Hikiddo Electric Police Car, which looks like a miniaturized police cruiser. He and Squidgy hop in.

JUSTIN Let's roll, Officer Squidgy! The car's tiny siren makes a comical "BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!" sound, and they speed off in hot pursuit with a tiny "VRRRROOOM!" sound effect.

Scene 3

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

A bright, bustling city street. Traffic moves and people walk. The camera slowly rises up over the traffic.

'WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas, a familiar, smooth cadence) They say that every journey begins with a single step. But for a certain band of misfits, their journey began with a getaway, a jammin' tune, and a whole lot of stolen money.

The screeches into view, a sleek, souped-up sedan with mismatched parts. Stacks of STOLEN MONEY BAGS are piled high in the backseat.

In the front, JAILBREAK (MALLORY LOW), the hacker emoji, and MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (MALLORY LOW), the female hacker tarantula, wear sunglasses and smile at each other. They raise their hands for a high-five.

JAILBREAK Go bad...

MS. TARANTULA ...or go home!

They high-five with a satisfying WHACK!

The camera pulls back to show the rest of the crew: MR. WOLF (MICHAEL GODERE), the pickpocket; MR. SNAKE (CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS), the safecracker; MR. SHARK (EZEKIEL AJEIGBE), the master of disguise; and MR. PIRANHA (RAUL CEBALLOS), the muscle. They're all rocking sunglasses.

MR. SHARK Alright, Webs, drop the beat!

Webs' front paws tap on the dashboard, and a tune kicks in on the car's radio—a groovy, funky track titled "Love Money," a clear parody of "Love Rollercoaster."

JAILBREAK (SINGING) With a confident, slightly robotic tone) In the vault of a bank, yeah, I'm the key... Access denied? Not to me! Money money, love money, feels so right... Just another score for the night!

MS. TARANTULA (SINGING) (Her voice a playful, high-pitched sizzle) On the keyboard, I'm a spider's touch... Hackin' firewalls, doesn't take much! Money money, love money, gotta get it all... We're the baddest crew standin' tall!

MR. WOLF (SINGING) (A cool, jazzy, crooning voice) Pickin' pockets in the street, smooth and fine... Stealin' cash, yeah, that's my design! Money money, love money, the way we live... All this paper, what more can I give?

MR. SNAKE (SINGING) (A low, slithering, almost bored voice) In the safe, no combination to be found... Just my luck, I love that sound! Money money, love money, makes the world go 'round... Best feeling, when you're underground!

MR. SHARK (SINGING) (Deep, booming, with a fake-posh accent) A gentleman of crime, in disguise, you see... They never notice, a shark like me! Money money, love money, we'll take it all... Just another haul, standin' tall!

MR. PIRANHA (SINGING) (Loud, high-energy, with a slightly off-key gusto) Muscles flexin', bustin' down the door! Never seen a crew like us before! Money money, love money, the loot is ours! With our bad-guy power, yeah!

The Bad Guys are all dancing and grooving in the car. Mr. Shark even puts on a series of silly hats he pulls from a bag. Suddenly, a CHAIN of PANICKING LITTLE MONSTERS attached to MR. FRANKS (WILL FORTE) runs out of a nearby PRESCHOOL. They have names like Boisterous Billy, Bossy Bethany, and Forgetful Fiona written on their little smocks. They're all screaming and being dragged along by the terrified Mr. Franks.

MR. FRANKS Oh no! I'm so late! Move it, gang! Move it!

The Bad Guys Mobile honks and speeds past them, leaving a trail of exhaust. The car zooms across a series of BRIDGES, the city skyline shrinking in the distance.

EXT. FOREST - DAY

The Bad Guys Mobile drives into a vibrant forest teeming with WILD POKÉMON. A fluffy JIGGLYPUFF floats by, singing softly. A mischievous AIPOM swings from a branch. A couple of GOSSIPING LOPUNNY eye the car with curiosity. The forest is alive with colorful and chatty creatures.

MR. WOLF Did you see that? So many... interesting creatures.

Suddenly, a smaller, much faster vehicle appears in the rearview mirror: a HIKIDDO ELECTRIC POLICE CAR. It's driven by JUSTIN (JESSE GERVASI), an 8-year-old boy in a police hat and a white t-shirt. His sidekick, SQUIDGY (TOM KENNY), a male orange tub of kooky clay wearing sunglasses, is in the passenger seat.

JUSTIN (Voice full of determined innocence) Alright, Squidgy! The Bad Guys are in sight! Prepare for action!

SQUIDGY

(Squidgy's voice is a high-pitched, enthusiastic squish) Whoo-hoo! We're gonna get 'em, Justin!

The chase is on.

MR. WOLF (Looking in the rearview mirror, annoyed)' Uh, Guys, you seein' this? Cops. And one of them is a kid. And the other is... made of clay?

Mr. Wolf reaches into one of the money bags and pulls out a big, fluffy FEATHER. He tosses it out the window.

JUSTIN (Squinting) What's that?

The feather floats down gently and lands on the police car's windshield, comically obscuring Justin's view.

JUSTIN Ah! Incoming!

MR. SNAKE (Holding up a rubber chicken) My turn.

He throws the RUBBER CHICKEN, which bounces off the hood of the police car with a SQUEAK!

SQUIDGY (Laughing) Look, a chicken! Wait, is that a rubber chicken?!

MR. SHARK (In a chef's disguise, throwing a large bag of flour) Don't mind me, just a humble baker!

The flour bag bursts open, covering the police car in a white cloud.

MR. PIRANHA (Flexing his muscles and holding a grappling hook) I got this!

He hurls the GRAPPLING HOOK backward. It attaches to a tree branch, and as the car speeds off, the hook-and-rope combo snags the police car's siren, pulling it off with a ZING!

JUSTIN The siren! It's gone!

Finally, Jailbreak and Webs share a mischievous look. Webs holds up a jug of OLIVE OIL.

WEBS Time for a slippery surprise!

She pours a steady stream of olive oil onto the road.

JUSTIN (Eyes wide) Look out, Squidgy! Slick stuff!

The Hikiddo police car hits the oily patch and starts to spin out of control. It slides off the road, rolls down a STEEP HILL, and with a comical BOING! and a CLANG!, it lands perfectly on a nearby RAILROAD TRACKS, just as the sound of a train whistle can be heard in the distance.

SQUIDGY' (His clay body a little squished) Oopsie!

JUSTIN (Groaning) Well, this is a pickle.

The Bad Guys laugh as they speed away, the music fading into the distance.

EXT. RAILROAD - DAY

A vast green field stretches out under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, the twin metal lines of a railroad track gleam in the sunlight.

A HIKIDDO ELECTRIC POLICE CAR, a small, two-seater vehicle, sits stopped on the tracks. At the wheel is JUSTIN (8), wearing a white t-shirt with red trim and a police hat that is slightly too big for him. Beside him, in the passenger seat, is SQUIDGY, an orange tub of Kooky Clay, sporting a tiny pair of cool sunglasses.

The sound of an easy-going NARRATOR's (ANTONIO BANDERAS) voice echoes over the scene.

NARRATOR (Smooth, with a Spanish accent) And so, our hero Justin found himself on the railroad tracks. With no villains in sight, what could go wrong?

A police siren WAILS from a distance. The car’s headlights flash in the Hikiddo car. JUSTIN, with his finger in his nose, glances into the rearview mirror.

JUSTIN Uh oh.

A POLICE CAR, an actual, full-sized, and modern one, screeches to a halt behind them. POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS (ALEX BORSTEIN) steps out, her face etched with a familiar irritation..

MISTY LUGGINS Justin! What in the name of all that is shiny are you doing on these tracks?!

JUSTIN (Still picking his nose) We were just... on patrol, ma'am. Trying to catch the Bad Guys.

MISTY LUGGINS The Bad Guys? They broke out years ago, kid. Everyone knows that.

SQUIDGY (A worried blob) Yeah, but we've been chasing them! We're just... not very good at it.

JUSTIN We failed, Misty. We failed everyone.

MISTY LUGGINS sighs, her tough exterior softening just a little. She kneels down to look Justin in the eye.

MISTY LUGGINS

Hey now. Listen to me. Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is you keep trying, alright?

JUSTIN nods, a small smile forming on his face. The tranquil moment is shattered by the distant sound of a TRAIN WHISTLE, followed by a clanging RAILROAD CROSSING ALARM. The crossing gates begin to lower.

MISTY LUGGINS Oh, for the love of--! A familiar TRAIN HORN BLOWS as THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE and his coaches ANNIE and CLARABEL joyfully cross the tracks.

THOMAS (Happy, to Justin) Good morning, officers!

ANNIE & CLARABEL (In unison) Good morning!

Before Misty can respond, PERCY THE GREEN ENGINE pulls the MAIL TRAIN along the adjacent track.

PERCY (A quick, friendly nod) Good day to you all!

Misty sighs in annoyance. But then, a larger, red locomotive pulls into view. It is JAMES THE RED ENGINE, with his coaches.

MR. PEARSON (O.S.) Justin, look out!

JUSTIN turns his head to see his parents, MR. and MRS. PEARSON, standing by the side of the tracks, waving their arms frantically.

JAMES, seemingly not paying attention, speeds up and SMASHES into the Pearsons, sending them flying in a cartoonish cloud of debris. The Hikiddo Electric Police Car is briefly obscured by the flying objects.

JUSTIN and SQUIDGY stare in horror. James comes to a screeching halt, his face frozen in a look of comical shock.

JAMES (Gasps) Silly me! I've gone and had a little accident!

The WHIR of an AMBULANCE siren fills the air. NURSE JOY and her CHANSEY pull up in a talking ambulance, and the Chansey gently places the flattened, crumpled figures of MR. and MRS. PEARSON onto a stretcher.

NURSE JOY Don't worry! We'll have them patched up in no time.

AMBULANCE (In a friendly, automated voice) Taking a trip to the big hospital!

The ambulance drives away, its siren still wailing. JUSTIN, still horrified, follows behind in the Hikiddo car, with Squidgy by his side.

SQUIDGY (Trembling, holding a pair of broken sunglasses) I'm not feeling so good.

Annie and Clarabel look at each other, their faces filled with worry.

ANNIE Oh dear.

CLARABEL I hope they'll be alright.

Scene 4

EXT. BIG HOSPITAL - SUNSET

The sun dips below the horizon, bathing a large, modern hospital building in a warm, melancholic glow.

INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

JUSTIN (8), wearing his POLICE HAT and a simple white t-shirt with red trim, sits in a chair, his legs not quite reaching the floor. His head hangs low.

Beside him, SQUIDGY, with his sunglasses on, is molded into a hunched, worried shape on the seat.

SQUIDGY (whispering) Do you think... do you think they'll be okay?

Justin can't bring himself to look up. He just shrugs, a tiny, helpless motion.

SQUIDGY (gently) They're strong, Justin. You know that.

A door creaks open. Justin's head snaps up. NURSE JOY enters with her Pokémon assistant, CHANSEY, by her side. Nurse Joy's face is solemn.

NURSE JOY Justin?

Justin and Squidgy look up at her, their hopeful expressions slowly draining away.

NURSE JOY 'm so sorry. Your parents... they're not going to make it.

Justin GASPS, a tiny, broken sound. Squidgy shifts, his clay body trembling.

JUSTIN Oh no.

Nurse Joy gestures for them to follow.

INT. HOSPITAL OPERATING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

The cold, sterile white of the operating room is a stark contrast to the sunset light outside. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson lie still on hospital beds, covered by white sheets.

Justin and Squidgy approach the beds. The sounds of hospital monitors BEEP softly.

MR. PEARSON (weakly) Justin... Be brave, son...

MRS. PEARSON (barely a whisper) We'll always be with you...

They offer a FINAL, FADING SMILE before their eyes close. The monitors emit a long, flatline TONE. Justin's lower lip quivers. He BURSTS INTO WATERY TEARS, the sound echoing in the silent room. Squidgy shifts into a small HAND, patting Justin's back awkwardly.

SQUIDGY (voice breaking) It's okay, Justin. Let it out.

Justin buries his face into Squidgy's side, sobbing.

INT. JUSTIN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

A quiet, somber darkness. Moonlight streams through the window.

Justin, now in his plain white t-shirt with red trim, is tearfully stuffing clothes into a BIG BACKPACK. Squidgy, back in his orange tub shape, pushes small items, including his sunglasses, into a SMALL BACKPACK.

JUSTIN We have to go, Squidgy. Now. Before they...

He can't finish the sentence. He zips the backpack shut, hard.

SQUIDGY I know.

Suddenly, the door swings open. SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, and PAIL rush into the room, their movements clumsy and panicked.

SIDETABLE DRAWER Oh, Justin, we heard! We're so sorry!

TICKETY TOCK We came as soon as we could!

SLIPPERY SOAP That's so awful, what happened.

SHOVEL We couldn't believe it!

PAIL Your mom and dad...

Justin and Squidgy look at them, their faces a mixture of surprise and profound sorrow.

JUSTIN We have to leave.

Justin straps on his backpack. He picks up Squidgy, who is holding his smaller backpack.

SQUIDGY What do we do with this?

SIDETABLE DRAWER Put it inside me! Hurry! Squidgy places his small backpack into Sidetable Drawer's open drawer.

Justin walks to his bed and tenderly places his beloved MOO-MOO BEAR onto the pillow. He looks back at his empty room one last time, his new reality setting in. He turns, his allies surrounding him.

JUSTIN Let's go.

Justin and the allies file out of the room, leaving the quiet darkness behind.

EXT. JUSTIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

A gentle CGI wind rustles the leaves of a tall oak tree. The moon is full and bright, casting long shadows across the lawn. The HIKIDDO ELECTRIC TRAVEL CAR, a small, futuristic-looking vehicle, sits quietly in the driveway. The car's sleek, smooth exterior gleams under the moonlight, and a soft blue light emanates from its windows.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS) When you're young, the stars are just twinkling lights in the sky. But as you grow, you learn that some of those stars… are watching over us.

JUSTIN (8) climbs into the driver's seat, a large, multicolored backpack overflowing with supplies strapped to his back. SQUIDGY, a vibrant orange blob of clay, sits snugly on the passenger's side dashboard. SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, and PAIL are arranged neatly in the backseats. They look like a motley crew, a patchwork of characters from different worlds.

Justin takes one last look at his house. The windows are dark. He can almost see his parents inside, asleep in their beds. A wave of sadness washes over his face, but he quickly pushes it away, determined.

JUSTIN (to himself) Alright, here we go. No going back now.

He gently presses a button, and the car's engine hums to life with a quiet electric purr. He backs the car out of the driveway and onto the quiet road.

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

The Hikiddo Electric Travel Car drives down a winding country road. The night air is crisp and still. Inside the car, Justin stares at the road ahead, his thoughts drifting.

SQUIDGY (in a gentle, reassuring voice) You okay, Justin?

Justin nods slowly.

JUSTIN Yeah, it's just… Mom and Dad. I wonder what they're dreaming about.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (her small, sweet voice echoing from the back) Maybe they're dreaming about you!

TICKETY TOCK (her bells chiming softly) And the great adventure you're on!

SLIPPERY SOAP (his bubbly body shimmering) They'll be so proud of you when you get back.

Justin offers a weak smile.

JUSTIN I hope so.

Suddenly, a set of eyes peer out from behind a large rock on the side of the road.

ON THE ROCK - NIGHT

JAILBREAK, the hacker emoji, stands on top of the rock, holding a small, glowing device. She looks down at the car as it passes. Next to her, MS. TARANTULA, the hacker spider, climbs up the rock face, her eight legs scurrying quickly. MR. WOLF, MR. SNAKE, MR. SHARK, and MR. PIRANHA are huddled around her. Jailbreak's face, a pixelated image of tears, begins to blur.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") Hey, what's wrong, Jailbreak?

Jailbreak points the glowing device at the night sky. The image of the stars on the device's screen changes, and two distinct constellations appear: one of MR. PEARSON and one of MRS. PEARSON.

JAILBREAK' (her voice shaking) It's them. The Pearsons. They're up there. They're... just... stars.

The tears fall from her eyes in watery, pixelated streams.

MR. WOLF (placing a comforting hand on her shoulder) Hey, it's gonna be okay, kid. It's just a couple of constellations.

MR. SNAKE (his voice full of uncharacteristic warmth) Yeah, they're not gone, they're just… really, really far away.

MR. SHARK (giving her a gentle pat on the back) Besides, we're gonna find the Wishing Star, right? We'll make it all better.

Jailbreak wipes her eyes and nods. She looks up at the real stars in the sky, then at the image of the Pearsons on her device.

MR. PIRANHA (flexing his tiny muscles) Yeah! We'll get that Wishing Star! For Justin! For… for them!

Jailbreak turns off the device and places it in her pocket.

JAILBREAK You guys are right. Let's go. We've got a mission to complete.

The group nods in agreement. They climb down from the rock and follow the car, a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Scene 5

INT. JUICE BAR - NIGHT

Wishing Star NARRATOR (ANTONIO BANDERAS) (V.O.) On their journey, the paths of young Justin, his friends, and the Reaper converged, each of them thirsty for something different.

SFX: Tender, somber string music plays quietly

The Juice Bar is a surreal, cosmic-themed establishment. Justin, Squidgy, and their Blue's Clues allies—SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, and PAIL—are all perched on oversized mushroom-like stools. Small, swirling galaxies are suspended in their colorful glasses of juice. The group stares into their drinks, looking tearful and miserable. Justin wears a white T-shirt with red trim, a large backpack on his shoulders.

JUSTIN (Sniffling) I just... miss them so much. Mom's goodnight kisses, Dad's funny stories...

Squidgy, a tub of orange clay, pats Justin's arm with a small clay hand.

SQUIDGY (In a high, empathetic voice) I know, Justin. It's not fair.

Sidetable Drawer, with Squidgy's smaller backpack strapped to her drawer, lets out a small, creaky sob.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Voice shaking) We left our homes to help you... but all we can think about is what's happening back there.

TICKETY TOCK (Ding) Time just keeps going... (Tock) ...and we can't stop it. (Ding)

Slippery Soap slides back and forth on his stool, leaving a trail of translucent bubbles.

SLIPPERY SOAP I feel so... so... not slippery anymore! I just wanna go home.

Shovel and Pail hug each other tightly, trembling.

SHOVEL Our sand is gone...

PAIL And our handles are all wet from crying.

SFX: The somber music fades out and is replaced by a slow, dragging, yet slightly cheerful whistling tune

A new figure slides onto a stool next to Justin. It's the GRIM REAPER (GREG EAGLES), a tall, skeletal figure in a dark robe, with a prominent Jamaican accent. He holds a scythe, which clinks against the bar. The Reaper orders a glass of juice.

GRIM REAPER Hmph. Tough day, eh, little 'uns? Dem's the breaks, mon. Life moves on.

JUSTIN (Without looking up) Easy for you to say. You don't have to worry about your parents.

Grim Reaper chuckles, taking a long sip of his juice.

GRIM REAPER Actually, I do. My own mother is a terrifying woman. But dat's not de point. De point is, you shouldn't worry about yours.

Justin and his friends look up, hope flickering in their tearful eyes.

JUSTIN You mean... they're okay?

Grim Reaper takes a second sip. He then looks at Justin with a solemn, unblinking stare.

GRIM REAPER Mon... dey pass away. Dat's kind of my job to know. Dey be with the angels now. Probably enjoying a good shuffleboard game.

SFX: A record scratch sound, followed by a dramatic, high-pitched sting

Justin's eyes go wide. He slowly pushes his stool back and walks backwards, away from the Reaper. Squidgy and the Blue's Clues gang mimic him, nervously backpedaling.

JUSTIN (Stuttering) No... No, that's not... that's not true! You're lying!

GRIM REAPER (Shrugging) I don't lie, little man. I reap.

SIDETABLE DRAWER But... but... our parents...

TICKETY TOCK (Tock) He can't mean it! (Ding)

SLIPPERY SOAP (Sliding nervously) He can't! He can't!

SHOVEL AND PAIL (Hugging tighter) Mama... Dada...

Grim Reaper stands up, pulling his scythe from the bar with a loud scrape.

GRIM REAPER Now, now. Don't be like dat. Dey had a good life. But you's time is running out.

Grim raises his scythe, its curved blade glinting ominously.

SFX: The sharp clang of a blade unsheathing

Justin gasps, his tiny body trembling. He dodges to the side just as Grim swings the scythe. The blade hits the wall behind Justin with a sickening THWACK!

SFX: Loud, wet splatting sound

Justin stumbles, putting a hand to his head. He pulls it away, seeing a thick, red liquid. He lets out a small, terrified cry.

SFX: High-pitched whimpering, cartoon crying

JUSTIN (Crying) B-Bloods! On my head! I have bloods on my head!

SFX: Justin's cries are loud, cartoonishly dramatic, and full of tears

Before Grim can swing again, Squidgy leaps into action. He morphs his body into a large, bouncy spring and launches himself at the Reaper, knocking him off balance. Sidetable Drawer quickly reveals a small, wooden door hidden behind the bar.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Shouting) This way!

Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, and Pail shove Justin toward the hidden door. He scrambles inside, clutching his head. As the last of the group enters, Sidetable Drawer pulls the door shut with a loud, resounding SLAM.

SFX: DOOR SLAMS, followed by the sound of a large lock clicking into place

Grim Reaper, having recovered, dusts himself off. He walks away, whistling his cheerful, dragging tune, as if nothing happened.

SFX: The whimsical, dragging whistling fades into the distance

INT. JUICE BAR - HIDDEN ROOM - NIGHT

SOUND of CARTOON WHISTLE SFX

The camera PANS across the hidden room, showing it packed with forgotten gadgets, musical instruments, and strange junk. It's a whimsical, dusty treasure trove.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas)

They had stumbled into a place of lost things, where forgotten memories and broken dreams settled in the quiet dark. A perfect place, it seemed, to lay low… for a little while.

Justin, Squidgy, and the Blue's Clues & You crew — Sidetable, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, and Pail — cautiously explore the room, their voices hushed. The red stripe on Justin’s t-shirt is a vibrant pop of color against the dim lighting, as is the unsettling patch of blood on his forehead.

JUSTIN (Whispering) Okay, everyone be quiet. We need to stay hidden.

Sidetable quietly CLUNKS along, the small backpack inside her drawer making a muffled rattling sound. Shovel and Pail move carefully, trying not to make a sound, while Tickety's bells give a soft JINGLE every now and then.

Suddenly, TWO FIGURES ZIP LEFT and RIGHT across the background in a blur of color and motion. The group FREEZES, eyes wide.

SQUIDGY (Whispering) Woah! What was that?!

The TWO FIGURES ZIP LEFT and RIGHT again, this time closer and faster.

JUSTIN (Whispering) Everyone, HIDE!

SOUND of CARTOON WHISTLE SFX

They all scurry into a HUGE WOVEN BASKET filled with blankets and clothes, quickly burying themselves. They PEAK UP from the top of the basket. The two figures reveal themselves as RITA, the adorable pink Jammbonian girl, and EMILIA, the matching ragdoll. They land softly on top of the basket.

RITA (Giggling) Look, Emilia! A big, soft basket!

EMILIA (Her ragdoll head wobbling slightly) It looks like a comfy place for a rest.

SOUND of CARTOON POP SFX

Justin, Squidgy, and the others suddenly pop up from the blankets, surprising Rita and Emilia.

RITA (Surprised) Oh! Hello there!

JUSTIN (Relieved) Hey! Who are you?

RITA I'm Rita! And this is Emilia!

JUSTIN I'm Justin, and this is Squidgy. And these are our friends!

The Blue's Clues & You crew all give a friendly greeting.

SIDETABLE DRAWER Hello!

TICKETY TOCK' Tickety-tock, nice to meet you!

SLIPPERY SOAP' Hi there!

SHOVEL (Waves his head) Howdy!

PAIL (Waves her handle) Nice to meet you!

A somber mood falls over Justin as he looks at Rita, sensing her loneliness. He knows what it's like to be without family.

JUSTIN (Voice soft) Rita... can I tell you something?

Rita nods, her big eyes wide and curious.

JUSTIN (Tearing up slightly) I... I don't have parents anymore. They… they passed away.

Rita's expression turns from curious to sympathetic. She reaches out and gently touches the blood on Justin's head.

RITA (Softly) I'm sorry.

Justin HUGS Rita tightly, and she returns the hug, her fluffy tutu wrapping around them both. Emilia joins in, wrapping her ragdoll arms around Rita.

SOUND of CARTOON AWWW SFX

The Blue's Clues & You crew look on, their digital eyes and clock faces full of affection for their friend.

SIDETABLE That's so sweet.

TICKETY TOCK Tickety-tock, they're brothers and sisters now!

JUSTIN (Breaking the hug, a smile on his face) You're my little sister now, Rita.

Rita’s eyes sparkle with happiness. She hugs Justin again, even tighter this time.

Suddenly, Justin looks up. His eyes land on a large, open WINDOW in the ceiling, moonlight streaming through.

JUSTIN (Excitedly) Look! We can get out of here!

Rita nods excitedly, then puts on a big backpack she was carrying. It's almost as big as she is. Emilia's small backpack is placed inside Sidetable's drawer, joining Squidgy's.

SQUIDGY (Grinning) Time to fly!

SOUND of CARTOON POPPING SFX

Squidgy jumps out of the basket and transforms into a bunch of orange clay balloons. The balloons attach themselves to the basket.

The basket, with everyone inside, begins to float upward, lifted by Squidgy. They rise toward the open ceiling window.

SOUND of CARTOON WHOOSH SFX

The basket FLOATS out of the window and into the NIGHT SKY. The screen is filled with a wondrous sight of the sky filled with various Flying Pokémon, twinkling stars, and glowing moons.

JUSTIN (Amazed) We did it!

RITA (Giggling) We're flying!

The camera pulls back, showing the basket floating away into the cosmos, ready for their next big adventure.

Scene 6

EXT. PARK - NIGHT

A beautiful, clear night. ANTONIO BANDERAS' voice, as the WISHING STAR, narrates over the scene, a warm, melodic presence.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Sound of a gentle ocean wave) There are moments in every life when one's path feels... uncertain. When the darkness is deeper and the world seems... colder. (Camera focuses on the park lake) But a wish is a light. It is hope. And it's a beacon that can draw lost souls together, from the most improbable of places.

A small, serene lake in the park is illuminated by a full moon. Around it, SAM GILLMAN (7) sits with his fishing rod, a quiet, contemplative figure. Beside him, PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK, look intently into the water. The lake teems with all manner of WATER POKÉMON, their vibrant forms and soft glowing colors creating a breathtaking display.

CHIRP (Tweeting, a happy little chirp) Ooh, did you see that one, Quack? It shimmered!

QUACK (With a snooty voice, a light "quack" sound) Of course I did, Chirp! The way it swam in a perfect zigzag pattern! Pure perfection.

P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-POLIWAG! A small blue POLIWAG circles near the shore.

QUACK (Sighs dreamily) Look at it go! Just like me!

SAM GILLMAN (A small smile on his face, a light "blub-blub" sound as he speaks) They really are amazing, aren't they? So many different kinds...

A soft, whooshing SQUOOSH sound is heard from above. Looking up, they see a massive BASKET, floating down from the sky, held up by an orange tub of Kooky Clay, SQUIDGY BALLOONS.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (BOING! As he stretches down, in a high-pitched, excited voice) Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa! Almost there, friends! Just a little... farther...

Squidgy's clay body stretches and strains.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (Straining, a bit of a gurgle) P-p-p-p-p-pop!

The basket lands gently on a colossal, fluffy MATTRESS lying on the grass with a soft WHOOMPF sound. Inside the basket, Jellian JAMMBONIAN RITA (5) and a Ragdoll, EMILIA, tumble out with a giggle, followed by a slightly dazed JUSTIN (8), who has a bandage on his head.

RITA (In a bubbly, happy voice) We made it! That was the funnest falling-out-of-a-basket ever!

JUSTIN (Shakes his head, groaning a bit) Oh, my head... a bit of a bumpy landing, wasn't it, Squidgy?

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (His voice returns to normal, a bit embarrassed) S-s-sorry, Justin! I got a little... stretched out.

Justin’s allies, SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, and PAIL, emerge from behind the basket.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (A light DRAWER-WHOOSH as she opens her drawer, in a calm, organized voice) Contents and personnel... accounted for.

TICKETY TOCK (A cheerful DING! as she chimes) Ready for adventure! What's our next stop?

SLIPPERY SOAP (A bubbly, smooth sound as he moves, in a slick, cool voice) Hope it involves some slides. I love slides!

SHOVEL & PAIL (A happy SCOOP! and a metallic CLANK!) We wanna play too!

Justin spots Sam Gillman and the others by the lake. His expression changes from discomfort to immediate, heartfelt curiosity. He and his friends rush over.

JUSTIN (A bit breathless) Hello there! Are you okay? You look... lonely.

Sam looks up, startled. Peep, Chirp, and Quack huddle together, a little intimidated.

SAM GILLMAN (Shyly, a light "blub" sound) Oh... I'm okay. Just... fishing.

Justin, a natural leader, gestures to his friends.

JUSTIN (A warm, comforting voice) Well, we're here to help! My name is Justin. And this is Rita, Emilia, Squidgy Balloons, and my other friends!

RITA (Jumps excitedly, a BOING! sound) Hiya!

EMILIA (A sweet, quiet voice) Hello.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (An enthusiastic SQUOOSH! as he bounces) He-llo!

The Blue's Clues crew all wave and greet Sam and his friends, their sounds effects bubbling with warmth.

CHIRP (Whispering to Peep) They're not so scary. They're nice!

PEEP (Whispering back) They are nice! But what's wrong with that boy? He has blood on his head!

Justin overhears Peep and gently touches the bandage.

JUSTIN Oh, this? It's... a long story. It reminds me of my family. My mom and dad...

His voice falters. A somber look crosses his face.

JUSTIN They... they passed away a while ago. It's... it's just me and Rita now.

He glances over at the Gillman, seeing a reflection of his own sadness.

JUSTIN And when I saw you... all by yourself here... it made me feel like you might be a little bit lonely too.

A teardrop falls from Justin’s eye. Sam, seeing Justin’s emotion, feels a connection he hasn’t before.

SAM GILLMAN (Voice trembling) I... I am.

Without another word, Justin, followed by Rita, Squidgy Balloons, and Emilia, rushes forward. They wrap Sam in a tight, comforting hug. Peep, Chirp, and Quack, inspired by the warmth of the moment, huddle in to join the embrace.

JUSTIN (Holding Sam close) You don't have to be lonely anymore. We can be a family. A team. My new little brother.

Sam, overwhelmed, hugs back tightly, tears streaming down his face, his "blub-blub" sound quiet and emotional. The Blue's Clues allies watch the scene with adoration.

TICKETY TOCK (A sweet TICK-TOCK-DING! sound) Look at them! How cute!

SIDETABLE DRAWER (A gentle DRAWER-SHUFFLE sound) A family is made of love.

SLIPPERY SOAP (A soft BUBBLE-WHOOSH sound) The perfect, warm and fuzzy feeling.

SHOVEL & PAIL (A tiny, gentle CLINK-SCOOP sound) Yay! A new brother!

Sam, with a new sense of belonging, pulls away, wiping his eyes. He takes off his fishing rod and carefully places it on the ground. He then opens his big backpack and puts it on.

SAM GILLMAN I'm ready.

PEEP (Chirping, in a hopeful tone) What about us?

CHIRP (Squeaking excitedly) We wanna help!

QUACK (Preening himself) And my spectacular self must be included.

Sam looks at Sidetable Drawer, who opens her drawer with a inviting DRAWER-WHOOSH. Peep, Chirp, and Quack, with their little backpacks, waddle over and place their belongings inside.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Smiling) All aboard for adventure!

With their new family united, Justin leads the way. The entire group—Justin, Sam, Rita, Emilia, Squidgy Balloons, and the Blue's Clues crew—begin walking toward the center of the park, a new family bound together by empathy and the promise of a brighter future.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And so, new journeys begin. A new family is formed. Because sometimes, a wish isn't just for a star... It's for a friend. Or a brother. Or a family to call your own.

The camera pans up to the night sky, filled with stars, as a single, shining shooting star arcs across the sky. A vast, glowing, star-filled sky. Twinkling points of light and pulsing, luminous moons hang like jewels. Countless POKÉMON, in all their forms from across every known region, flutter and soar through the cosmos. The soundscape is a whimsical tapestry of cartoon effects and celestial ambience.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) The universe is a playground of cosmic possibilities, a silent symphony of twinkling stars and glowing moons. And down below, a small group of wanderers finds a moment of peace, even as their journey grows more complicated.

At a picnic table, JUSTIN (8, a small, adventurous boy, wearing a white t-shirt with red trim) sits with his younger siblings, RITA (5, a cute, pink Jammbonian girl with a flower dress and pink fluffy tutu) and SAM GILLMAN (7, a Gillman boy in a red hoodie and cap). Justin has a smudge of blood on his head. Their massive backpacks lie piled on the grass beside them. They eat snacks from a communal bag.

JUSTIN (Mouth full) Wow. There really are a ton of 'em, huh?

RITA (Eyes wide with wonder) The Pokémon are so pretty when they fly. They look like tiny shooting stars.

SAM GILLMAN (Wearing his cap backward) Yeah, but check out that Ho-Oh! The sun-Pokémon! It’s like a rainbow is flying!

SFX: A soft, melodic HOO!

On a nearby seesaw, SIDETABLE DRAWER (a wooden, friendly drawer-table) lands on her end.

SFX: WHUMP!

This launches TICKETY TOCK (a purplish-pink clock with silver bells) high into the air.

SFX: WHEEEEEEE!

TICKETY TOCK (Cheerfully) Whee! Time flies when you’re having fun!

SFX: DING DONG!

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (an orange tub of clay) lifts SLIPPERY SOAP (a lavender bar of soap) toward the baby swing. Slippery glides past EMILIA (a ragdoll with a pink fluffy tutu) and gives her a gentle push.

EMILIA (A musical giggle) Hehe! Thank you, Mr. Slippery!

In the sandbox, SHOVEL and PAIL are building a sandcastle.

SHOVEL Almost done with the moat, Pail!

PAIL Just needs a little more water!

In the jungle gym, PEEP (a yellow chicken) and CHIRP (a red robin) chase QUACK (a blue-purple duckling).

CHIRP Gotcha, Quack!

QUACK (Proudly) You can't catch the best navigator in the park!

Suddenly, MAILBOX (a dark purple mailbox on wheels) rolls up to the picnic table, flag up. SFX: A soft, friendly CHUGGA-CHUGGA. BOO-BWOO-BWOO!

MAILBOX (Optimistically) Mail’s here! And look what I found!

Mailbox's drawer pops open, revealing a grimy, crinkled POSTER. He rolls it out across the picnic table. It's a "WANTED" poster, showing the familiar faces of THE BAD GUYS: JAILBREAK, MS. TARANTULA, MR. WOLF, MR. SNAKE, MR. SHARK, and MR. PIRANHA.

JUSTIN (Squinting) The Bad Guys? But... I thought they were in prison. Misty Luggins put them away years ago.

RITA They must have escaped! That's just what they do!

SAM GILLMAN Whoa... so they're the reason your world's anniversary party got messed up, Rita?

Rita's smile vanishes. She clutches her ragdoll, Emilia, tightly.

RITA Yes... they ruined everything. My friends, the Queen... even the King...

SFX: A sad, musical WHIMPER.

RITA Mailbox was there. He can tell you...

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And so, Mailbox’s flag went down as he told a tale of a long-ago party...

SFX: A gentle, shimmering, magical sound...

BEGIN FLASHBACK SEQUENCE

EXT. JAMMBO - DAY (FLASHBACK) The entire land of Jammbo, a world of colorful, musical characters, is in a celebratory mood. Balloons in the shape of music notes drift across the bright sky. BELLO, GOOMO, MINA, and ONGO are laughing and dancing with other Jammbonians. The KING (a purple Jammbonian with a crown) and the QUEEN (a purple Jammbonian with a smaller crown) wave to their people.

MAILBOX (V.O.) The Jammbo Anniversary Party was in full swing!

SFX: A cheerful, celebratory MARCHING SONG.

A massive, multi-tiered anniversary CAKE is rolled out on a cart. The crowd CHEERS.

MAILBOX (V.O.) And then... the biggest anniversary cake ever arrived.

Suddenly, the top of the cake EXPLODES with a burst of confetti. The BAD GUYS, caked in frosting, EMERGE, laughing maniacally.

MR. SNAKE (Wiping icing off his scales) The only thing better than an anniversary party... is crashing one!

Mr. Snake opens his mouth impossibly wide.

SFX: A hungry, cartoony GULP!

He swiftly devours all the Dodos, who were minding their own business. The Dodos' HORNS stick comically out of his body as he burps.

SFX: A loud, satisfied BURP!

Mr. Piranha holds up a bowling ball.

MR. PIRANHA Anybody up for a strike?

He rolls the bowling ball right at Bello, Goomo, Mina, and Ongo, who are now lined up like bowling pins.

SFX: A fast, rolling BALL. A loud, clattering STRIKE!

The four Jammbonians are knocked down in a neat row.

Jailbreak and Ms. Tarantula sit at a small table with a laptop. They type furiously.

JAILBREAK (To Ms. Tarantula) Ready for the next phase?

MS. TARANTULA (Typing) Open sesame!

The doors to the Jammbo Castle SWING OPEN with a loud, electronic BEEP. Jailbreak and Ms. Tarantula HIGH-FIVE.

SFX: A futuristic, hacking SFX. A loud HIGH-FIVE!

The Queen looks up, gasping, as Mr. Shark approaches, disguised as a baker. He reveals a FRYING PAN from behind his back.

THE QUEEN Hey, you're not the baker!

Mr. Shark smiles, then hits the Queen over the head with the frying pan.

SFX: A loud BONK!

MR. SHARK Now that's More Like it.

The King sees Mr. Wolf, who reveals a hidden BOXING GLOVE on a spring from his sleeve.

SFX: A metal SPRING sound.

THE KING Oh, dear...

MR. WOLF (A confident smirk) Last words, Your Majesty?

THE KING (Weakly) My... my crown... is... crooked...

SFX: A comedic, but final, PUNCH! The King is punched with enough force to send him flying into a wall, where he lands, lifeless.

THE KING (Last words) P-p-p-power...

SFX: A sad, pathetic FART noise.

The Chopper Bunch (a trio of motorcycles) rev their engines in approval.

CHOPPER MOTORCYCLE Hey, that was a pretty good one!

REVS MOTORCYCLE Yeah! I give that a solid ten!

HI-RISER MOTORCYCLE Ten outta ten, buddy!

Bello, Goomo, Mina, and Ongo see the King's death. They start to SOB.

SFX: Loud, exaggerated sobbing. BOO-HOO-HOO!

The Queen recovers, dazed. She sees Rita, who is a smaller, pink version of the Jammbonians. The Queen blames her, her voice trembling with grief.

THE QUEEN You! You caused this! You murdered the King!

SFX: A tearful, angry sound. HMPH!

THE QUEEN I... I BANISH YOU from Jammbo!

The Queen storms off. Rita is left alone, heartbroken. Police Chief Misty Luggins arrives with a squadron of Squirtle Cops, water pistols drawn.

POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS Hold it right there! Bello, Goomo, Mina, Ongo... and Queen! You are all under arrest for what you did to Rita and for the King's murder!

The Squirtle Cops SQUIRT water at the surprised Jammbonians, who surrender.

SFX: SQUIRT! SQUIRT! SQUIRT!

POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS (Off-screen) Take them to the courtyard for Judge Gavel Emoji!

Alone, Rita walks the long road out of Jammbo, her backpack heavy with her things. She leaves her old Ragdoll Princess behind. She sees a Lost and Found Box. Inside, she finds another ragdoll, Emilia, a small, pink fluffball. Rita picks her up and HUGS her tightly. Rita finds a discarded pink tutu and puts it on.

MAILBOX (V.O.) And so, Rita found a new friend... a new hope...

SFX: A sweet, tinkling musical chime.

END FLASHBACK SEQUENCE

EXT. PARK - NIGHT We're back at the picnic table. Rita wipes a tear from her eye. RITA I... I didn't see that coming.

Justin pulls her into a warm hug.

JUSTIN Hey, don't worry about it. You're my sister now, and that's all that matters. You did the right thing.

Sam Gillman leans in, also hugging Rita.

SAM GILLMAN Yeah, you're the bestest sister in the world!

Rita is overwhelmed with love and snuggles into their embrace. The three siblings look up at the beautiful, animated night sky, a happy and united family.

SFX: A happy, heartwarming sigh. A soft, loving musical cue.

Scene 7

EXT. PEARSON HOUSE - NIGHT

The suburban house is quiet and dark. A stylized, CGI version of a crescent moon hangs in a starry sky, almost looking like a piece of paper.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) The most powerful wishes are not for what we want... but for what we've lost. They are the fragile, precious desires we hold close to our hearts. And some are so deep, so hidden... even the wishers themselves have forgotten them.

The sound of a window opening.

INT. JUSTIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Jailbreak (a hacker emoji) and Ms. Tarantula (a web-slinging tarantula) from The Emoji Movie and The Bad Guys, respectively, creep into a suburban bedroom. The room is tidy, with a sense of childlike wonder, but it's clearly a teenager's room now. A large, faded orange, kooky clay blob sits on a shelf—SQUIDGY (TOM KENNY). Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha follow, looking more serious than mischievous. Ms. Tarantula, or "Webs" (MALLORY LOW), skitters up a wall.

WEBS All clear, no sign of the kid. Just... a lot of orange clay things.

Jailbreak (MALLORY LOW) glides through the air in her glitching way.

JAILBREAK And an impressive amount of old toys. Look at this stuff. This kid was... organized.

Mr. Wolf (MICHAEL GODERE) picks up a worn, hardcover book.

MR. WOLF The Book of Tales." What kinda kid reads stuff like this?

MR. SNAKE The kinda kid that grew up into a target, probably. Focus, fellas. Where's the prize?

Mr. Shark (EZEKIEL AJEIGBE) is rummaging through a closet. He emerges in a ridiculously ill-fitting pirate hat and an old eye patch.

MR. SHARK Arrr! He's got a whole trove of disguises here!

Mr. Piranha (RAUL CEBALLOS) is examining a picture on a nightstand.

MR. PIRANHA (Small gasp) Hey, look. A family portrait.

He holds it up for the others. Jailbreak and Webs float over to get a closer look.

CLOSE UP ON PICTURE

A young, loving MR. PEARSON (JACK BLACK) and MRS. PEARSON (HEATHER BAMBRICK) are smiling, holding a tiny, swaddled BABY JUSTIN. The photo is warm and full of genuine happiness. Jailbreak and Webs look at the photo, and their expressions soften. The hardened facades crack, revealing something more vulnerable.

JAILBREAK He... he was so small.

WEBS Look at his parents... So proud.

MR. WOLF We're here for the star, not a photo album. Let's move.

Jailbreak and Webs ignore him. They sit on the edge of the bed, carefully holding the picture.

WEBS (Whispering) Something about this picture...

JAILBREAK It's a different kind of treasure.

A gentle, emotional melody begins, a PARODY OF "THE TIME HAS COME (PIKACHU'S GOODBYE)." The music is soft and nostalgic, with an acoustic guitar and a simple piano melody. Jailbreak and Webs close their eyes, holding the photo tight. Watery, shimmering pixel tears form at the corners of their eyes. MEMORY SEQUENCE (V.O. NARRATION)

VISUAL: The memory sequence begins with a warm, grainy, sepia-toned hue, like an old home video.

WEBS (V.O.) (Voice trembling) I remember... not having this.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) (Softly) Me neither. I was just... code.

VISUAL: A hospital room. Mr. Pearson and Mrs. Pearson smile down at BABY JUSTIN. The colors are soft, saturated pastels.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) (A little louder now) But Justin... he had everything. The love of his parents.

VISUAL: Justin, now one year old, rips open a birthday present to reveal a tub of kooky, orange clay. He squishes it, delighted. It winks at the camera—it's SQUIDGY (TOM KENNY).

WEBS (V.O.) And a best friend. Not just a toy, but a real friend.

'VISUAL: Justin, age two, holding a Squidgy-shaped balloon. He's laughing as it floats up and away, his little fingers desperately reaching for it.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) He never gave up on his adventures.

VISUAL: Justin, age three, riding a tricycle. The front wheel is a giant, round, Squidgy face. He zooms around the backyard, giggling.

WEBS (V.O.) Even when his world was small, his imagination was huge.

VISUAL: Justin, age four, puts a collar on a Squigy-turned-into-a-dog. He tugs the leash, and the clay creature darts off, pulling Justin along.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) He made everything an adventure.

VISUAL: A slightly older Justin, maybe five, climbs a tall ladder, made of more orange Squidgy clay. At the top, he finds a frightened ORANGE CAT (from The Bad Guys). He rescues it and hands it down to a younger, smaller, not-so-tough-looking Jailbreak and Webs. They look at the boy in awe.

WEBS (V.O.) He wasn't afraid to help, no matter who you were. He didn't care that we were... different.

VISUAL: A shot of Justin, age six, picking his nose. He pulls out a tiny, orange, clay Squidgy. He looks at it and then at the camera, shrugging with a "boys will be boys" smile.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) And he was just... a kid. Perfectly imperfect.

VISUAL: Justin, age seven, happily flying a Squidgy kite. It soars into the sky, pulling Justin with it, his feet dangling just above the ground.

WEBS (V.O.) He just went with the flow. Always hopeful.

VISUAL: Justin, age eight, is wearing a white T-shirt with red trim. He's hugging Squidgy, RITA (from Jelly Jamm), EMILIA (a ragdoll with a fluffy pink tutu), and SAM GILLMAN (from Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken). The shot expands to include Peep, Chirp, Quack, and even the allies from Blue's Clues & You: SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX. They all look at the stars in the night sky, with glowing moons and flying, colorful POKÉMON.

JAILBREAK (V.O.) He brought us all together. He taught us to look at the stars and see more than just light...

WEBS (V.O.) He taught us that wishes weren't about what you can get. They were about the bonds you make... the family you create.

PRESENT DAY - INT. JUSTIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Jailbreak and Webs sit on the couch, now openly crying. Not just the pixel tears, but real, glistening tears.

JAILBREAK He just wanted us to be a family. A home.

WEBS A place to belong.

Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha gather around them. The tough-guy act is gone, replaced by a sense of deep sympathy.

MR. WOLF (Kneeling beside them) Hey. It's okay.

Mr. Snake (CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS) pats Webs on the head.

MR. SNAKE It's... it's a good cry. You earned it.

MR. SHARK (His voice a little muffled by the tears) What a big ol' softie.

Mr. Piranha puts a hand on Jailbreak's shoulder.

MR. PIRANHA So... what now?

Jailbreak looks up, a new resolve in her tear-filled, pixelated eyes. She stands, her glitching effect becoming stronger, more confident.

JAILBREAK We came here to get the wishing star. So that's what we're gonna do. But we're not stealing it.

The crew looks at her, confused.

JAILBREAK We're going to use it... to give him his family back. To give him his wish. That's the right thing to do.

Webs stands with her, wiping her tears away.

WEBS We're not thieves anymore. We're hackers with a new mission. We're going to save the star... and save the wish.

The others nod, their expressions turning from confusion to determination. A new purpose has been found.

Scene 8

EXT. CARTOON CROSSOVER ORPHAN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

The WISHING STAR NARRATOR (voiced by Antonio Banderas) speaks with a warm, comforting tone.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Sometimes, a journey leads you to a place you never expected. A place where you might find a different kind of family. A place you could call home.

A wide, two-story house stands before them, looking a bit mismatched, but glowing with warmth from the windows. It's a house built from the clashing aesthetics of different cartoon worlds, but somehow, it all fits together. JUSTIN (age 8, with a small wound on his forehead), with his big backpack, and his friends and allies, including SQUIDGY, RITA, EMILIA, SAM GILLMAN, PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK, and the BLUE'S CLUES & YOU allies (SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX), stand at the foot of the steps. The glow from the porch light washes over their weary faces. Justin swallows, then walks up to the door and knocks. A small, kind face appears in the window, then the door opens. It's PETUNIA RHUBARB. She smiles gently.

PETUNIA RHUBARB Oh, hello there. It's not often we get visitors so late. What can I do for you, dearies?

Justin's voice is small and shaky.

JUSTIN We... we need a place to stay. Just for the night. We don't have anywhere else to go.

Petunia's eyes soften. She notices Justin's bloody head and the exhaustion on their faces.

PETUNIA RHUBARB Come in, come in. The door is always open for those in need.

She gestures for them to enter. The group files into the bustling, noisy, and chaotic but loving Cartoon Crossover Orphan's House.

INT. CARTOON CROSSOVER ORPHAN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

The main room is a hub of activity. In one corner, STRONG BAD, THE CHEAT, POM POM, and STRONG MAD are playing a boisterous card game.

STRONG BAD (shouting) Yes! I win! Again! You guys are a bunch of cheaters, and you know it! They all erupt in laughter, the sound filling the room.

In another corner, HOMESTAR RUNNER is trying to sweep the floor, but he's accidentally sweeping the broom-shaped LI'L BRUDDER, who is crying.

HOMESTAR RUNNER (wailing) Oh, Li'l Brudder! I didn't mean to sweep you! I just wanted to clean up!

MARZIPAN (soothingly) It's okay, Homestar. He'll be fine. Just... try sweeping around him.

Homestar sniffs, then goes back to sweeping clumsily. BACN BILL and TINA CELERINA are intensely focused on a video game, shouting at the TV.

BACON BILL (animated) No, no! Jump! Jump now!

TINA CELERINA (frustrated) I'm trying! The controls are all wrong! Petunia leads Justin and the others into the room.

PETUNIA RHUBARB Everyone, we have some new friends joining us for the night.

Just then, JIMMY GOURD and JERRY GOURD waddle over, smiling broadly.

JERRY GOURD (happily) Well, hello there! You look like you could use some fresh air. Or, well, some fresh floor.

JIMMY GOURD (jovially) We've got plenty of room! And if you're hungry, we've got... uh...

JERRY GOURD ...we got... some leftover potato salad from Tuesday!

The room's noise level dies down a bit as the other residents notice the newcomers. Justin, looking scared and vulnerable, blurts out.

JUSTIN He's going to kill me. He wants to kill me.

The room goes silent. The cartoon characters, who have seen all sorts of wild things, are now unnervingly still.

RITA (stepping forward, comforting) We know, Justin. We know how you feel.

Justin looks at her, his eyes wide.

RITA We know about the Grim Reaper. We know what it's like to lose someone.

EMILIA (gently hugging Rita) We know about Mr. and Mrs. Pearson. Justin's eyes well up.

JUSTIN He's after me because of... because...

He trails off, a lump in his throat.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS Because of what happened to your parents, Justin? Justin nods, tears beginning to stream down his face.

JUSTIN (voice breaking) James... James the Red Engine...

The room gasps collectively. Even the toughest characters, like Strong Bad, look stunned.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS ...he crashed them.

RITA (softly) They're gone.

Justin starts to sob, big, watery tears rolling down his cheeks. BOB TOMATO, LARRY CUCUMBER, SAMSON, EDWARD, SHEEP, ROBOT JONES, JACK, and MOOSE gather around.

BOB TOMATO He... he ran them down?

LARRY CUCUMBER Oh, dear. That's... that's horrible.

SHEEP (nervously) Is this... is this what happens when you don't look both ways?

ROBOT JONES (confused) Data indicates that a train is not an ideal method of transportation for an individual who is not on the tracks.

JUSTIN (crying) They didn't see him coming! It was so fast!

Sam Gillman walks over and puts an arm around Justin's shoulder.

SAM GILLMAN We'll get through this, Justin. Together.

The rest of the group gathers around him, including Squidgy, Rita, Emilia, Peep, Chirp, Quack, and the Blue's Clues & You allies. They form a tight, comforting circle around the distraught boy.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS (squishing up against him) We're right here with you, buddy.

RITA (hugging him) You're not alone anymore.

EMILIA (patting his arm) We'll help you.

PEEP (softly) We'll protect you.

CHIRP (determinedly) We won't let him get you.

QUACK (squawking gently) Not on our watch!

Justin leans into their embrace, a wave of relief washing over him. The tears continue, but they are no longer tears of pure terror, but of gratitude. The other cartoon characters in the house watch the touching scene, their own expressions now softened with compassion. They all HUG EACH OTHER, a small island of comfort in the sea of cartoon chaos.

INT. HALLWAY OF THE CARTOON CROSSOVER ORPHAN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

A long, echoing hallway. Moonlight streams in through windows, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. The sounds of a busy orphanage echo from behind the various closed doors.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) An orphanage, some might call it. But not just any orphanage. This was a crossroads of stories, a place where tales from every corner of existence intertwined. And in this particular story, a group of new arrivals were looking for a place to rest their heads.

The group of heroes walks carefully down the hallway, their backpacks rustling with every step. The small, eight-year-old JUSTIN (carrying his big backpack and with a bandage on his head) leads the way, looking back at his younger siblings.

JUSTIN It's okay, everyone. We just have to find a room that isn't… already full.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS bounces gently beside Justin.

SQUIDGY BALLOONS Ooh! I wanna find a room with lots of balloons! Big ones! And a party!

RITA (carrying her big backpack) holds Emilia, a ragdoll, tightly.

RITA (in a small voice) Can we find one with a nightlight? And no scary sounds?

A nervous SAM GILLMAN (carrying his big backpack) clutches Peep, Chirp, and Quack to his chest, trying to be brave. SAM GILLMAN No problem, little sis. I'll protect you. And my bird friends will help!

Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail, and Mailbox follow, whispering amongst themselves. The group stops in front of the first door. Justin hesitates, then takes a deep breath and opens it.

INT. CROODS' ROOM - CONTINUOUS The heroes see the CROODS FAMILY, GUY, BELT, THE BETTERMAN FAMILY, and SASH all eating bananas loudly. PUNCH MONKEYS chatter and jump around excitedly. The room is chaotic and energetic.

GRUG (mouth full of banana) Hey! Who are you? Do you have any extra bananas?

EEP (swinging from a makeshift vine) Wanna race? Last one to the pile of bananas is a rotten egg!

THUNK (eats bananas) You can say that again?

UGGA (eats Bananas) I agree.

DAWN (swings from a vine) What can go wrong with it.

PHIL AND HOPE You did see that every day?

GRAN I see.

The group stands in the doorway, startled by the overwhelming scene. Justin shakes his head.

JUSTIN (to his group) Nope. Not this one.

He quickly and quietly shuts the door.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Not all reunions are meant to be. Sometimes, it's best to let old stories rest, especially when they involve a sudden, intense craving for fruit.

The heroes move down the hall, and Justin opens the second door.

INT. SAUSAGE PARTY FOODTOPIA ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Frank Frankfurter is in the center of the room, cradling a seemingly dead Brenda Bunson in his arms. He is sobbing hysterically.

FRANK FRANKFURTER (through sobs) Why, Brenda? Why?! Jeri Rice, you monster! She was torn apart! TORN APART!

Berry, Sammy Bagel Jr., and other Foodtopia characters gather around Frank, offering their condolences and comforting him.

BERRY (patting Frank's back) There, there, Frank. She's in a better place. The Great Beyond...

SAMMY BAGEL JR. (Comforts Frank) And you did the thing even, without Brinda.

The orphans stare in morbid fascination before Justin again pulls the door shut.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Some stories end in tragedy. Others... are just too disturbing for a small child.

The group moves on, a little more cautious now. Justin opens the third door.

INT. TALKING M&M'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS

The TALKING M&M GANG is assembled in a solemn, respectful manner, like they are holding a memorial service.

RED (somberly) We're gathered here today to remember two... well, two people we'd never met, but whose story has shaken us to our very candy-coated core.

YELLOW (sniffling) The poor Pearsons! Crushed by a train! A big red train with a number on it! Oh, the humanity!

MS. BROWN (trying to be logical) But did anyone else notice how... a train doesn't just crash? And it wasn't the Thomas the Tank Engine we know and love... this James was very, very red. It’s suspicious.

BLUE, GREEN. ORANGE(CRISPY), PURPLE (All Agree with Ms. Brown) We know.

The M&M's begin to argue about the specifics of the accident. The orphans, now completely overwhelmed by the strange displays, quickly close the door again.

A long hallway in the Cartoon Crossover Orphan's House. It's dimly lit, with the gentle glow of a moon-shaped nightlight spilling from one of the doors. We hear the distant, comforting HUM of a cartoon world's ambient soundscape.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas's voice, warm and low) A home is not always a palace of fine things, but sometimes a small door in a quiet hallway. And for a group of tiny, fragile souls, a new home is all they have left... or so they think.

We follow the group of children and their allies. JUSTIN (8, a white t-shirt with red lining), with a small gash bleeding on his forehead, carries a massive backpack that threatens to topple him. His little sister, RITA (5, a cute pink Jammbonian), wears a magenta dress and carries her own heavy pack, with a ragdoll named EMILIA clutched tightly in her other arm. SAM GILLMAN (7, wearing a red hoodie and cap) holds his own large backpack, while his allies, PEEP (yellow chicken), CHIRP (red robin), and QUACK (blue-purple duckling), also have their own tiny backpacks. Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail, and Mailbox follow, each carrying their own small packs. The group reaches the fourth door. Justin, with a deep, shaky breath, pushes the door open.

INT. PLAYROOM - CONTINUOUS

The playroom is revealed to be a whimsical, colorful space, filled with toys, dressers, a large TV, and a crescent moon bed floating from the ceiling. The children and their allies enter the room, the door closing with a soft SNIK. They all drop their backpacks to the floor with a series of cartoonish THUD and THUMP sound effects.

SFX: THUD! THUMP! THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!

They move to the plush couch and sink into it, sighing with exhaustion. Sidetable Drawer sets its packs down and slides its drawer open, revealing a tiny snack. The smaller companions rest on the cushions next to the children.

JUSTIN (Sighs) I can't believe we're finally here.

RITA (Her voice is sweet but tired)

Are we safe now, Justin?

JUSTIN (Nods) I think so, Rita.

Sam pulls out a remote control and turns on the big TV. The screen flickers to life, showing a news report.

INT. TV SCREEN - CLOSE UP The news anchor, a squirrel-like figure, TIFFANY FLUFETT (The Bad Guys), reports with a serious expression.

TIFFANY FLUFETT (ON TV) And in a shocking development, we have received confirmation that the Pearson residence was completely demolished by a runaway locomotive earlier this evening. It appears to have been an unfortunate, tragic accident involving the Number 5 Engine...

A cartoonish sound effect of a train horn, TOOT-TOOT, is heard in the background.

TIFFANY FLUFETT (ON TV) Our thoughts are with the friends and family of the Pearsons... if there are any left. The Number 5 Engine, identified as James, is said to be still in the area.

INT. PLAYROOM - CONTINUOUS

The heroes watch the TV in horrified silence. Justin's eyes well up with tears, and his face crumples. He sniffles, trying to hold back his sorrow, but his shoulders shake.

SFX: SNIFFLE!

Rita, seeing her brother's distress, climbs into his lap and wraps her arms around him. Emilia, the ragdoll, hangs from her other arm.

RITA (Quietly) Don't worry, Justin. You did the right thing. We'll be brothers and sisters forever.

Sam joins in the hug, and soon, Peep, Chirp, and Quack huddle around them, their smaller forms offering comfort. The other allies, Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail, and Mailbox, look on with soft, empathetic smiles.

MAILBOX (Softly) Family sticks together.

Justin breaks down into a fresh wave of sobs, clutching his siblings tightly. It’s an authentic, raw display of grief, a shared understanding among these unlikely orphans.

Scene 9

EXT. TIDMOUTH SHEDS - NIGHT

The sheds are dark and peaceful under a starry sky. A PICNIC TABLE sits on the ROOF, where RED, SILVER, CHUCK, and BOMB are dining. They eat from a small bucket of live, wriggling worms. SOUND of worms squirming and cartoonish slurping.

RED (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS, with his signature flair) Ah, the night. So quiet. So romantic. A perfect night for a simple meal, a simple gathering... but alas, trouble is never far behind when you have such... colorful... company.

The birds slurp up worms.

RED (Mouth full) These worms are a bit... dirt-flavored, don't you think?

SILVER Oh, don't be so picky, Red. They're excellent sources of protein. And they're free.

CHUCK FREE?!

(Gulps his worms down in one go) I'll take five more buckets!

SOUND of super-speedy chomping and slurping. Bomb slowly scoops up a worm.

BOMB I just hope they don't... detonate in my stomach. It's a risk I'm willing to take, for sustenance.

Suddenly, a loud, pompous clearing of the throat is heard. The KING OF TOWN and POOPSMITH are climbing up a wobbly ladder.

KING OF TOWN Hmph. So this is what the peasants eat. Let's see if this 'dirt flavor' is fit for a king's palate.

The King of Town grabs a worm with a silver fork. Poopsmith holds a small napkin.

KING OF TOWN (Coughs) Poopsmith, is this sanitary? Is it pasteurized?

Poopsmith gives a silent, impassive nod.

KING OF TOWN Very well. For the sake of research! (Eats the worm, then gags comedically) Ptoo! It tastes like... poverty!

INT. TIDMOUTH SHEDS - NIGHT

JAMES THE RED ENGINE is parked in his berth, sobbing uncontrollably. SOUND of a train's sad honk and pathetic weeping.

JAMES (Crying) Oh, the indignity! All that paint, all that shine... gone! And Mr. and Mrs. Pearson... gone forever! All because I was being a silly tank engine!

The other engines, THOMAS, GORDON, PERCY, EMILY, NIA, and REBECCA are nearby.

THOMAS Oh, James, you mustn't be so hard on yourself. It was an accident. And it was just Mr. Pearson's new flower pots!

GORDON Thomas is right. Accidents happen. You're a big engine, not a silly tank engine. You're just a silly red engine with a shiny coat... that is now very much un-shiny.

PERCY And at least you didn't crash their train into death! That would have been much worse!

Annie and Clarabel, pulled by Thomas, nod in agreement.

EMILY It was an honest mistake, James. The important thing is you learned from it.

NIA We all make silly mistakes sometimes, James.

REBECCA Just look at me! I accidentally pulled the wrong train last week! And everyone laughed!

JAMES But... but... my paintwork! My reputation!

Suddenly, a loud and authoritative voice bellows out.

SIR TOPHAM HATT (O.S) James! What is all this commotion?! Sir Topham Hatt stands in front of the sheds, looking stern.

SIR TOPHAM HATT I heard about what happened, James. Crashing into Mr. Pearson's prize-winning flower pots because you were showing off!

JAMES I'm so sorry, sir! I was just... having a bit of fun.

SIR TOPHAM HATT Well, your fun has cost us a lot of trouble! From now on, you will do Percy's Mail Train every night for one or two weeks! And no more complaining!

JAMES (Sniffles) Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

James pulls out of the sheds, looking ashamed. The other engines start to giggle and snicker.

THOMAS (Laughing) Poor James! He'll have to deal with the mail!

GORDON (Laughing) Serves him right for being so vain!

PERCY (Chuckles) I'll miss you, James! But I won't miss the mail!

EXT. TIDMOUTH SHEDS / TREE - NIGHT

On top of a nearby tree, SATIN and CHENILLE are watching the scene below.

SATIN (Whispering) Oh, that poor little red train. He looks so sad.

CHENILLE (Whispering) Yes, but look! He's heading off to find Justin! We have to find Justin, too, before he does!

Satin and Chenille quickly climb down the tree and rush off in the direction James went.

Scene 10

INT. CEMETERY - DAWN

The rising sun casts a soft glow over a vast, ethereal cemetery. Headstones are carved from glowing aether, and friendly GHOST POKÉMON from every known region — from the floating GASTLY of Kanto to the candle-lit LITWICK of Unova and the elegant SKELEDIRGE of Paldea — drift peacefully among the graves. A quiet ceremony is underway. JAILBREAK, in a sleek, digital-black suit, stands solemnly with MS. TARANTULA, also in a formal spider-silk-patterned suit. The rest of the BAD GUYS crew — MR. WOLF, MR. SNAKE, MR. SHARK, and MR. PIRANHA, all looking uncharacteristically somber in their funeral attire — stand beside them. They are gathered around a brand new grave marker. Jailbreak places a framed picture against the stone. It shows MR. and MRS. PEARSON, radiant and full of life, holding a newborn baby JUSTIN.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS) A star's light travels across time and space, just as our memories do. But sometimes, even the brightest stars can be snuffed out by a shadow... or, in this case, a runaway steam engine.

Mr. Wolf puts a comforting hand on Jailbreak's shoulder.

MR. WOLF We're so sorry, Jailbreak. The world can be cruel, even to the good ones. We all know what it's like to lose something precious.

Mr. Snake nods.

MR. SNAKE We did what we could, kid. But some fates, you just can't hack your way out of. James the Red Engine was just... too red, too fast, and too full of steam.

A faint, ghostly "toot toot" echoes in the distance, and the Bad Guys all shudder.

MS. TARANTULA (Voice full of genuine sadness) It's just… a tragedy. A tragic and... very specific accident. Jailbreak and Webs share a look, and their eyes well up with watery, pixelated tears.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Jailbreak and Webs had learned this lesson the hard way. They knew that sometimes, even when you're being "bad," you can still do a good thing... or a confusingly memorable one.

FLASHBACK BEGINS

EXT. THE SEA - DAY (PAST)

A rickety BOAT bobs on the waves. Jailbreak, Ms. Tarantula, and the Bad Guys are all there, wearing their usual gear.

JAILBREAK (NARRATING) (MALLORY LOW) We had to learn about consequences somehow. And our first big "lesson" came from the most unexpected place: a deep-sea civilization called Snorkland.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (NARRATING) (MALLORY LOW) We were still in our "totally unapologetic for being bad" phase. It was a simpler time... and a gassier time, as it turned out.

The Bad Guys all don scuba gear and dive into the ocean.

EXT. SNORKLAND - DAY (PAST)

The vibrant, underwater world of SNORKLAND is bustling with SNORK CITIZENS. They go about their day, unaware of the impending chaos. The Bad Guys stealthily observe from behind some kelp.

JAILBREAK (NARRATING) It was a heist, pure and simple. The target? To cause the biggest, most disruptive prank in Snork history.

Mr. Snake pulls a hand-held pump from his gear. He swims quickly up to TOOTER SHELBY, who is minding his own business, tootling bubbles. Mr. Snake quickly shoves the pump's nozzle into Tooter's mouth.

TOOTER SHELBY (Squealing and incomprehensible speech)

MR. SNAKE What? You'll be fine. Just a little air freshener.

Mr. Piranha takes over pumping, grinning with mischievous glee.

MR. PIRANHA (Pumping with all his might) Pumpin' iron! Er, water! Whatever!

Tooter's body expands, and he floats up, balloon-like, a look of shocked panic on his face.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (NARRATING) He blew up like a water balloon full of regret. It was glorious. But we weren't done yet.

Mr. Shark, in a perfect disguise as a seaweed salesman, approaches DAFFNEY GILLFIN. He smoothly places a COLOSSAL FUNNEL into her mouth.

DAFFNEY GILLFIN (Muffled) Oh, a seaweed sample? For me?

MR. SHARK (In a deep, smooth voice) Only the finest, ma'am. Imported from the... canned food aisle.

Mr. Wolf and Jailbreak arrive with a COLOSSAL CAN of baked beans, which they hold precariously over the funnel. Jailbreak quickly hacks a hole in the top.

JAILBREAK One... two... three!

They pour the entire can of beans into the funnel. Daffney's eyes go wide as she's forced to swallow it all.

JAILBREAK (NARRATING) And that's how Daffney became the first Snork in history to ingest a colossal amount of beans.

The Bad Guys swim away laughing, back toward their boat. Below, Daffney's stomach begins to rumble ominously. The other Snorks look at her with confusion.

UNDER THE SEA OF SNORKLAND - DAY (PAST)

Daffney's stomach grumbles. And grumbles. And GRUMBLES. A small bubble escapes. Then another. Then... a long, rumbling, COLOSSAL FART rips out from under her, a geyser of compressed gas that erupts with cartoonish force. The resulting shockwave is powerful enough to send every single Snork Citizen — from Allstar to Grandpa Wetworth — shooting out of the water and into the horizon, like so many corks from a bottle.

EXT. THE SEA - DAY (PAST)

The Bad Guys watch from their boat as the little Snorks soar through the sky.

MR. SHARK (Grinning) Hey! Some of them are landing on that island! They're like little, human-sized fish out of water!

The Bad Guys all cheer and high-five. Jailbreak and Webs even do a little victorious pixel-dance. But then, they see Daffney Gillfin, her face a mask of embarrassment, swimming away crying.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (NARRATING) We learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't fill your nemesis with beans if you have to live with the fallout of their long-term gaseous emissions... and their tears.

FLASHBACK ENDS

INT. CEMETERY - DAWN

The Bad Guys are back in the present. The mood is somber again. Jailbreak and Webs have their faces buried in each other's shoulders, their tears flowing freely.

MR. WOLF (Softly, patting Jailbreak's back) There, there. You were still new to the whole "bad" thing. You didn't know you had a moral compass you'd one day feel bad about.

MR. SNAKE Exactly. Think of it as a learning experience. You don't have to be a bad guy forever.

The group moves on, coming to another grave. The headstone reads: "Tooter Shelby, Snork Citizen, RIP (Literally)." A tiny, ghostly bubble rises from it. Jailbreak and Webs' tears intensify, their pixel-emotions overloading.

MR. SHARK (Sighing) Alright, alright. I'll get us all some pixel-sized comfort food later. Promise.

They move to a third, larger grave, this one purple and regal. It reads: "The King (Purple Jammbonian King)".

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And some actions, like inadvertently sending a king on a one-way trip, were just unforgivable. Even for a hacker with a heart of gold... or at least, a heart that now understands what it did was really, really, bad.

Jailbreak and Webs are now full-on sobbing, a stream of digital tears pouring from their eyes. The rest of the Bad Guys gather around them, offering a group hug.

MR. PIRANHA (Voice cracking a little) You did the right thing, guys. The right thing now, that is. After doing a bunch of wrong things... back then.

The ghost Pokémon watch on, some with confused expressions, some with understanding. The sun fully rises over the horizon.

Scene 11

EXT. CARTOON CROSSOVER ORPHANAGE - DAY A cheerful, brightly-colored house. It's bustling with cartoon characters. A sunny day.

INT. ORPHANAGE HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS The long hallway has doors of different sizes and wacky shapes.

MADAME BLUEBERRY (O.S.) (in a sweet, motherly tone) There you are, my little blueberry. You're all good as new!

JUSTIN (8), wearing his white t-shirt, is held in Madame Blueberry's arms. A red bruise is visible on his forehead, but she lovingly presses a blueberry against it, and poof! The bruise vanishes in a flash of sparkling light, and Justin is healed.

JUSTIN (rubbing his head) Thanks, Madame Blueberry! I feel good as new!

Madame Blueberry sets him down. Justin immediately regroups with his allies from Blue's Clues & You and Justin Time.

SQUIDGY (high-pitched, clay-like voice) Phew! Glad to see that kooky clay has no permanent damage!

SIDETABLE DRAWER (small, sturdy voice) And no precious artifacts were damaged in the retrieval!

Across the hall, RITA (5) and EMILIA the ragdoll, walk with an adventurous strut, pretending they are on a daring expedition.

RITA (bouncing slightly) To adventure!

EMILIA (plush, muffled voice) To exploring!

Suddenly, BABS BUNNY and BUSTER BUNNY dart from a nearby door.

BABS BUNNY (enthusiastically) Hey there, kids! Welcome to the orphanage!

BUSTER BUNNY (grinning) We've got a lot of friends to meet here! It's gonna be a wacky summer!

Rita and Emilia wave warmly.

RITA Hi! I'm Rita, and this is Emilia!

EMILIA (waving with a stuffed arm) Hello!

Suddenly, Babs and Buster lock eyes with the two kids. A look of sheer, cartoon-level panic crosses their faces.

CARTOON SFX: A cartoon slide whistle WHIRS rapidly, followed by a frantic running sound effect.

Babs and Buster bolt in the opposite direction, their legs spinning into blurs. They disappear around a corner with a loud, echoey crash. Rita and Emilia just blink, confused.

RITA (innocently) What was that about?

EMILIA (tilting her head) They said they were expecting friends...

Rita turns back to Justin and his crew, a puzzled look on her face.

RITA (continuing) But they all end up just panicking and darting off like that? I still don't get it.

JUSTIN (shrugging) I have no idea.

SQUIDGY (shaking his head) Beats me.

TICKETY TOCK (chiming) Tickety-tock, tickety-tock! No clue at all!

Across the hall, PLUCKY DUCK, HAMTON J. PIG, and SWEETIE BIRD poke their heads out from another door.

PLUCKY DUCK (in a suave, confident voice) Did someone say... fun?! Plucky Duck is here to make your day more... Plucky!

HAMTON J. PIG (nervously) H-Hello there! Welcome!

SWEETIE BIRD (chirping happily) Tee hee! Again, Rita and Emilia try to greet them.

RITA (eagerly) Hi! You guys look nice!

CARTOON SFX: ZOOOOOMMM! A frantic, panicked scamper followed by a loud, reverberating BUMP.

Plucky, Hamton, and Sweetie scramble away in a mad panic, creating a dust cloud that settles over Rita and Emilia.

RITA (waving a hand) Hello?

Next, JEAN-CLAUDE and PHILLIPE PEA from Veggietales in the City roll by.

JEAN-CLAUDE (in a French accent) Bonjour, mes amis! Do you need some assistance?

PHILLIPE PEA (in a slightly higher French accent) Oui, oui! We can offer our expertise!

RITA (brightening) You guys aren't scared of us!

CARTOON SFX: The sound of a record scratching, a "yipe!" and then two peas frantically rolling away.

The peas' faces turn green with fright before they speed away, rolling over each other to escape.

RITA (frowning) Okay, what gives?

Next, a pair of identical dung beetle twin brothers CHIP and SKIP from Camp Lazlo scuttle by, pushing a large ball of... something.

CHIP (in a gravelly voice) Hey there, new kids. Whatcha doin'?

SKIP (same voice) Yeah, whaaaaatcha doin'?

EMILIA (her eyes wide) We're just... looking for friends.

CARTOON SFX: A high-pitched, gross SQUISH followed by two cartoon bug-like scurrying noises.

Chip and Skip shriek in terror, leaving their dung ball behind as they retreat into a vent with a final metallic clang. Next, DAVE and PING-PONG, the identical twin loons from Camp Lazlo, waddle past.

DAVE (in a nasal voice) Did someone say something? I think I heard something.

PING-PONG (a bit taller) Yeah, something sounded like... fun!

Rita and Emilia smile at them.

RITA (hopefully) Are you going to run away from us, too?

CARTOON SFX: Two loud, honking LOON CALLS followed by a comical, bird-like flap of wings and a hasty, clumsy running noise.

Dave and Ping-Pong HONK and FLAP their wings, running into the wall before turning and scurrying away.

Finally, LARRY, LEONARD, LOUIE, and LINIMENT, the quadruplet Lemmings from Camp Lazlo, scurry past in a jittery group.

LARRY (fast-talking) We're in a hurry to get to the... the... the thingy place!

LEONARD (also fast-talking) Yeah, the place with the... with the stuff!

LOUIE (blinking rapidly) Hi!

LINIMENT (looks at the group, pauses, then screeches) EEK!

CARTOON SFX: A high-pitched, squeaky SCURRYING SOUND as the four lemmings scramble under a rug and create a noticeable bulge in the carpet. A collective "Shhh!" can be heard from underneath.

Rita and Emilia look at the empty hallway. Their faces fall.

RITA (looking down at her feet) We expected to still have at least some friends. But they all end up just panicking and run and hide like this?

EMILIA (sighing softly) I still don't get it.

JUSTIN (shaking his head) I still have no idea.

Suddenly, SAM GILLMAN (7) and the characters from Peep & The Big Wide World arrive.

SAM GILLMAN (holding a red dodgeball) You guys are weird.

PEEP (soft, high-pitched voice) Weird is okay!

CHIRP (energetically) Yeah! What's the problem?

QUACK (loudly, with a white sailor's hat) What is with all the commotion?!

Rita and Justin look at each other, then pick their ears with their pinky fingers.

CARTOON SFX: A loud, squishy ZZZWIP! sound.

They both pull out long, waxy strings of earwax.

RITA (giggling) Hehe! Earwax!

JUSTIN (grinning) Got it!

CARTOON SFX: A loud, goofy BOING! sound as the earwax snaps back into their ears.

Squidgy, Emilia, Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail, and Mailbox all watch, amazed and a little grossed out.

SQUIDGY (mesmerized) Whoa...

SIDETABLE DRAWER (whispering) Fascinating!

SAM GILLMAN (rolling his eyes, but smiling) Well, come on, you two! Time to get started!

Justin, Squidgy, Rita, Emilia, Sam Gillman, Peep, Chirp, Quack, and their allies all join hands and begin to walk down the hall together, a joyful and motley crew of adventurers.

CARTOON SFX: A cheerful, hopeful, walking musical theme.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas, with a warm, reassuring voice) "In a world of many wonders, and many strange sights... finding a friend is often the greatest adventure of all."

INT. BATHROOM - DAY

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) In the heart of the Cartoon Crossover Orphanage, the morning ritual was a cacophony of cleansing, a symphony of suds and... speaking.

A long, multi-station sink area is bustling with activity. The light is bright and cheerful. JUSTIN (8), wearing his white T-shirt, meticulously brushes his teeth. Beside him, SQUIDGY (a Kooky Clay tub) has a tiny, impossibly-shaped toothbrush in his "hands," diligently scrubbing his own orange surface. RITA (5), the pink Jammbonian, stands on a small stool, her magenta dress and fluffy tutu pristine. She giggles as she brushes her teeth, bubbles forming around her mouth. Nearby, EMILIA, the ragdoll, holds a miniature brush and appears to be mirroring Rita's movements, a look of serene focus on her ragdoll face. SAM GILLMAN (7) energetically brushes his teeth, his red hoodie, cap (worn backward), and red pants adding a splash of color to the scene. He makes an exaggerated "AARRRGGH" sound as he gargles, and his translucent gills on his neck flare slightly. Piles of Peep, Chirp, and Quack chirp and quack happily as they "brush" their beaks with tiny, custom-made brushes. SIDETABLE DRAWER, with her five little backpacks on her back, leans forward slightly, her orange drawer pulled out just enough to reveal a miniature toothbrush resting inside. She gives a little wooden sound of contentment. TICKETY TOCK's hands tick-tock as she "brushes" her numbers with a polishing cloth. SLIPPERY SOAP slides back and forth in his holder, making little bubble-popping noises as he "washes" himself. SHOVEL and PAIL are busy "cleaning" their bodies, with Shovel making a metallic scraping sound and Pail making a clean ringing sound. MAILBOX, with his bright pink flag up, uses a cloth to wipe his face. The air is filled with the cartoon SFX of splishes, splashes, and exaggerated brushing sounds.

JUSTIN And remember, gotta get all the spots!

RITA (Spitting into the sink) Like the spots on my dress?

JUSTIN No, the spots in your mouth! The sugar bugs!

SAM GILLMAN (Flexing his arm) Sugar bugs don't stand a chance against the Gillman scrub!

QUACK (In his high-pitched, wobbly voice) Quack! Quack! Quack! My beak is so shiny!

CHIRP Mine's redder than a ruby!

Piles of Peep gives a series of happy peeps.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Their morning routine was a small, bright moment of order before the delightful chaos of the day began.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY The same group, now with clean teeth and shining faces, bounds out of the bathroom and into the hallway.

JUSTIN Race you to the mess hall!

He takes off running down the long, bright hallway, his red-trimmed t-shirt a blur.

SAM GILLMAN (Laughing as he follows) Last one there is a landlubber!

Sam and Justin are followed by the others in a comical scramble. SQUIDGY rolls and bounces along. RITA skips, her tutu twirling. EMILIA bounces behind her, her ragdoll body light and springy. The Peep trio of Peep, Chirp, and Quack fly and waddle, respectively. SIDETABLE DRAWER clatters down the hall, her five backpacks jingling. TICKETY TOCK's feet clack on the floor. SLIPPERY SOAP's bubble trail gives off a pleasant, popping sound. SHOVEL and PAIL march in tandem, making scraping and ringing sounds. MAILBOX rolls along, his pink flag waving. The group's movements are accompanied by a cheerful, upbeat cartoon SFX score.

INT. MESS HALL - DAY

The mess hall is large, open, and filled with long wooden tables and benches. The morning sun streams in through big windows. At a massive, steaming stove, PA GRAPE and MR. LUNT are busy flipping pancakes and sizzling sausages.

MR. LUNT Pancakes! The kids' favorite!

PA GRAPE And the perfect fuel for a day of... (He gestures vaguely) ...being cartoons!

The kids and their allies come bursting into the mess hall, their energy filling the space.

JUSTIN (Sliding into a seat) Pancakes!

RITA Ooh, the fluffy ones!

SAM GILLMAN (His gills fluttering with excitement) Awesome!

The various allies find their places, with Sidetable setting her backpacks down beside her. Mailbox rolls up to the table. Shovel and Pail rest against a bench. Mr. Lunt hands Justin and Sam each a huge plate piled high with pancakes. Pa Grape serves Rita, Emilia, and the Peep trio their plates, adjusting the portions accordingly.

RITA (Staring at the pancakes) Can we put on extra, extra, extra syrup?

PA GRAPE (Winking) Only the best for our little Jammbonian.

Mr. Lunt places tiny pancakes and syrup-filled thimble cups for the smaller characters. The room fills with the sounds of happy eating—chomping, slurping, and contented sighs, all enhanced by cartoon SFX.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) In this house of mismatched marvels, the simple things—brushing teeth, a race down the hall, and a good breakfast—were the threads that wove a family together.

INT. PLAYROOM - SUNSET The playroom is bathed in the warm, orange glow of a setting sun. The crescent moon bed on the ceiling looks like it's holding up the last vestiges of daylight. Toys are scattered everywhere, a testament to an afternoon of fun. As ANTONIO BANDERAS's voice, warm and familiar, narrates, we see the children playing.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And so, the day drew to a close, as all good days must. But for these friends, the end of the day wasn't a time for sadness, but a time for closeness.

Justin (age 8) is sitting on the floor, gently hugging Rita (age 5), a small, pink Jammbonian. Their toy companions are just as involved in the embrace. Squidgy, the orange kooky clay, is happily squished between them, while Emilia, the pink ragdoll, is clutched in Rita's arms.

JUSTIN (Smiling softly) I'm glad we got to play together today, Rita.

RITA Me too, Justin. You're the best big brother ever.

Their allies watch from a small distance, all with smiles on their faces.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Giggles) Isn't that just the cutest thing?

TICKETY TOCK It's making my bells ring with joy!

SLIPPERY SOAP Aww, so sweet.

SHOVEL It sure is.

PAIL They're a perfect pair.

MAILBOX Getting all my mail today, and it's all happy news.

Sam Gillman (age 7) runs up, holding his smartphone. Peep, Chirp, and Quack fly excitedly around his head.

SAM GILLMAN Guys, guys! Everybody say cheese! I wanna get this for my memory box!

PEEP (Chirps happily) Cheep-cheep!

CHIRP I'm ready for my close-up!

QUACK (Adjusts his sailor hat) Ready when you are, Sammy boy!

Sam takes the selfie, capturing the perfect moment of the hugging siblings and their toy companions. [Cartoon SFX: Camera click sound] Later, Sam plugs his smartphone into a portable speaker and presses a button. The song "Big Brother Justin and Little Sister Rita" starts playing, a cheerful parody of ABBA's "Happy New Year."

SAM GILLMAN Time for some mood music!

Sam picks up Squidgy and starts blowing into him like a balloon, much to Squidgy's giggling protest.

SQUIDGY (Voice muffled, balloon-like) Hehe! I'm getting so big!

He ties off Squidgy-balloon and hands the orange, floating clay to Justin, who holds Rita close.

JUSTIN Whoa!

The Squidgy-balloon lifts them gently into the air, floating them up toward the crescent moon bed. The siblings look out at the beautiful sunset, their faces alight with wonder. JUSTIN Look, Rita! The sunset is so pretty from up here!

RITA It's like a painting!

Meanwhile, Peep, Chirp, and Quack, along with the Blue's Clues gang, sing along to the music, their voices filled with happiness.

PEEP, CHIRP, QUACK, SIDETABLE, TICKETY, SLIPPERY, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX (Singing) It's a big brother and little sister hug tonight! All is fine! We're together, you and I!

The Squidgy-balloon lands softly on the crescent moon bed. Justin and Rita, still holding their toy companions, settle in.

RITA (Holding Emilia) I love playing with you, Justin. Come here, I wanna hug you.

Justin and Rita hug tightly, closing their eyes.

JUSTIN & RITA I love you.

Sam, Peep, Chirp, and Quack approach quietly. Sam covers the sleeping siblings with a starry blanket.

SAM GILLMAN Sleep tight, you two.

The others watch over them, their expressions soft and loving.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Whispering) Good night, Justin. Good night, Rita.

TICKETY TOCK (Whispering) Sweet dreams.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) Some things are truly wishes granted. The comfort of a loving family, the joy of a good friend, and the promise of another adventure tomorrow.

EXT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Wishing Star Narrator (ANTONIO BANDERAS) (V.O.) Ah, the end of a long day's adventure. A time for quiet, for rest, and for a bit of dreaming. A time for stars to shine a little brighter...

A soft, warm glow fills a cozy playroom. A large crescent moon bed hangs suspended from the ceiling, acting as the perfect perch for two of the younger adventurers. On the moon bed, JUSTIN (8, in a white T-shirt) lies with his little sister RITA (5, in a pink dress). RITA holds her ragdoll, EMILIA, close. Next to Justin is his faithful companion, SQUIDGY, the blob of clay. The ceiling above them is a miniature galaxy, with tiny, glowing Pokémon figures flying among the twinkling stars and softly lit moons.

JUSTIN (Whispering) Look, Rita. A Charizard!

RITA (Giggling softly) And a Jigglypuff! It's so cute!

Their eyes are wide with wonder, completely captivated by the peaceful, starry display.

Below, on a beanbag chair, SAM GILLMAN (7) watches his older siblings from afar, a happy smile on his face. PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK snuggle up next to him.

CHIRP They look so cozy up there.

QUACK Like they're floating on a fluffy cloud.

Meanwhile, on the floor, their allies play quietly with their toys. SIDETABLE DRAWER wheels herself around, a tiny train chugging along on her tabletop.

SIDE TABLE DRAWER Choo-choo! All aboard!

TICKETY TOCK gently swings her bells, a soft, pleasant chime filling the room.

TICKETY TOCK Almost bedtime. Almost.

SLIPPERY SOAP glides by, leaving a little trail of bubbles.

SLIPPERY SOAP Whee!

SHOVEL and PAIL are building a small, intricate sandcastle.

PAIL Careful with that wall, Shovel! It's very important.

MAILBOX rolls along, collecting imaginary letters. MAILBOX Mail time, mail time!

Suddenly, SATIN and CHENILLE, the Troll twins, float down and land gently on the crescent moon bed beside Justin and Rita. Their hair shimmers, and their expressions are soft and kind.

SATIN Look at you two, all snuggled up.

CHENILLE You’ve had quite the big day.

JUSTIN (Yawning) Yeah. It was fun. Satin and Chenille exchange a knowing, gentle look.

SATIN We wanted to tell you something. We saw your parents while we were on our journey.

JUSTIN You did? How are they?

CHENILLE They're so proud of you, Justin. Both of you. They said you're the best kids they could ever wish for.

RITA (Her eyes sparkling) Really?

SATIN Really. They said to tell you to always be kind, and to always have fun. Just like you do. Tears well up in Justin's eyes, not from sadness, but from a profound feeling of love. He sits up and wraps his arms around Satin and Chenille, and Rita joins in the hug, snuggling her head into Chenille's colorful hair.

JUSTIN Thank you for telling us.

The other characters, seeing the moment, begin to climb and jump onto the crescent moon bed. Sam, Peep, Chirp, and Quack land softly, followed by Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail, and Mailbox. They all gather around Satin and Chenille, creating a large group hug that glows with the warm, reassuring light of the moon and stars.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (ANTONIO BANDERAS) (V.O.) And as the moon held them close, they knew that wishes, and the love they wished for, had come true. Sometimes, the most important journey is the one that brings you home.

EXT. PLAYROOM - NIGHT

The camera opens on a child's playroom, bathed in soft moonlight filtering through a window. The room is overflowing with toys and colorful clutter. A large crescent moon bed hangs from the ceiling. A big television is on, its glow flickering over the room's details. A cluster of mismatched heroes huddles around a large poster. The poster depicts STAR BUTTERFLY'S COLOSSAL AMUSEMENT PARK. At the center is a dazzling image of the Wishing Star.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) It is said the star’s map has a way of judging the holder. Challenging them to confront their deepest flaws before granting its wish.

JUSTIN, 8, holds the poster. Beside him is SQUIDGY, the blob of clay. Nearby is RITA, 5, a pink Jammbonian, with her ragdoll EMILIA. On the floor, SAM GILLMAN, 7, the kraken boy, sits with PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK.

JUSTIN (Tracing a finger along the map) The Amusement Park has to be the most obvious place. But to get the map, we need to go to Pig City first.

RITA (Clapping her hands, her tutu ruffling) You're such a genius, big brother!

SFX: A musical, chiming noise as Rita giggles

SAM GILLMAN Pig City? How are we going to get in without being spotted?

PEEP (Chirping nervously) Will there be big, scary pigs?

CHIRP (Flapping her wings confidently) Peep, don't be a scaredy-chick! We can do anything!

QUACK (Adjusting his sailor's hat) I am a DUCK, you know. We are the bravest birds in the Big Wide World!

The group huddles together. SIDETABLE DRAWER, with her small, fully packed backpacks, leans in, her drawer nearly popping open. TICKETY TOCK’s bells ring with each anxious move she makes. SLIPPERY SOAP slides in, leaving a trail of bubbles. SHOVEL and PAIL dig into the circle, and MAILBOX's pink flag wiggles as he rolls closer. SATIN and CHENILLE, the fashion-forward Trolls, whisper plans to each other.

SCRAPBOOK SEQUENCE

The scene shifts into a stylized, colorful scrapbook animation, with crayon drawings and animated cutouts.

JUSTIN (V.O.) (As the scrapbook drawings come to life) First, we'll travel by land...

A crudely drawn van with all the characters inside drives across a page, followed by a drawing of the group sneaking past large, snoozing pig guards.

JUSTIN (V.O.) ...then we’ll travel by sea...

A hand-drawn ship with Sidetable Drawer floating like a raft and Sam Gillman swimming alongside glides over blue-paper waves.

JUSTIN (V.O.) ...then we’ll travel by air... Chirp and Peep fly over the ocean, carrying a string tied to a paper-airplane version of their friends.

JUSTIN (V.O.) ...and finally, we'll arrive at Pig City to get that Wishing Star Map! The final scrapbook image shows the heroes standing triumphantly in front of a castle-like building labeled "Pig City Treasury," holding a glowing map. END SCRAPBOOK SEQUENCE INT. PLAYROOM - NIGHT

The CGI animation returns to the playroom. Justin’s eyes are wide with determination.

JUSTIN So... let's do it!

The rest of the heroes cheer in agreement. Quack winks at the camera, and Slippery Soap slips on a stray toy car, sending him and the other Blue's Clues & You characters tumbling into a pile of stuffed animals with a cascade of cartoon sound effects.

SFX: Assorted cartoon sounds: a boing, a slide-whistle, a clatter, a splat.

Scene 12

INT. JUSTIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

A quiet darkness fills the house, illuminated only by the faint glow of the moon filtering through the windows. The silence is broken by the soft, metallic WHIRR of Roz’s internal mechanics and the light scuffling of Fink and Brightbill's paws. The WILD ROBOT trio enters the house through a partially open sliding glass door, a gentle CHIME sounding as they pass a wind chime.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) A wish can be a memory... and sometimes, a memory is all you have to guide you home.

INT. JUSTIN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT Roz, Fink, and Brightbill step carefully over discarded toys on the carpet. Moonlight shines on the bed, where Moo-Moo Bear rests against a pillow. Brightbill hops onto the bed, nudging the bear with his beak.

BRIGHTBILL It's Moo-Moo Bear. Justin loved him.

ROZ Affirmative. A comfort object. It possesses a high sentimental value.

FINK (Sniffing at a toy race car) These human things are weird. This one doesn't even taste good.

Roz unfolds her large backpack from her back with a series of mechanical CLICK-WHIRRS. She gently places Moo-Moo Bear inside, its soft fabric contrasting with the metallic interior. She then proceeds to methodically collect the rest of Justin’s belongings – a pillow, a soft blanket, and a pile of clothes – and pack them away.

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

Fink, ever the opportunist, rummages through the family fridge, his nose twitching. He grabs a handful of yogurt cups and a carton of milk and puts them in Roz’s backpack.

FINK Justin’s mom always said these were for 'growth.' We'll need lots of growth.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

As they pass, a framed family photograph catches Roz’s attention. It shows a younger Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, beaming as they hold a baby Justin, who is clutching a small, purple clay toy—Squidge. Roz's head cocks slightly. Her internal processors recall data about a recent, tragic event.

ROZ Scan complete. Image data matches the reports of the incident involving the train engine known as James. The parents... they were designated as 'crashed.' "

Brightbill looks at the picture, a somber quiet falling over the trio.

BRIGHTBILL They're gone. Just like my parents.

FINK So... the train took 'em to heaven, huh? Big old choo-choo to the clouds.

Roz turns, her body language resolute, and places a comforting hand on Brightbill’s back. ROZ Negative. They are no longer functional. However, Justin remains. We must find him. The contents of this dwelling are proof that he existed. They are memories that must be returned.

The trio stands for a moment, looking at the family portrait. Their motivation solidified, they turn away from the past and toward the future.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) And so, with a ghost of a family, a backpack full of memories, and a new purpose forged in kindness, they set off to bring a little boy back to his home.

Scene 13

EXT. HILLTOP - SUNRISE

The rising sun casts a warm, golden glow over a lush hilltop teeming with wild Pokémon. A variety of creatures from across many regions—a playful PICHU chasing a cheerful JUMPLUFF [Kanto, Johto], a stately SALAMENCE soaring majestically overhead [Hoenn], a curious BUNEARY hopping through the tall grass [Sinnoh], a flock of WINGULL diving toward a distant shore [Hoenn], a snoozing KOMALA clinging to a tree trunk [Alola], a shy SKWOVET collecting berries [Galar], a few SNEASEL scampering with a CHANDELURE hovering above [Hisui] and a colorful FIDOUGH chasing a rolling ball of yarn, followed by their evolutions along with many other wild Pokémon [Paldea]—fill the vibrant landscape.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS) As the sun rose on a new day, so too did a new resolve blaze within our small heroes. The quest for the Wishing Star was no longer a story—it was their story.

JUSTIN (8), wearing his red-lined white T-shirt and carrying a large, full backpack, stands tall and confident. SQUIDGY, the tub of orange clay, pops out from the top of Justin's backpack.

JUSTIN Okay, team! This is it! From this moment on, we're not just friends on a trip, we're adventurers with a mission!

SQUIDGY (In his high-pitched, wobbly voice) Adventures with a mission! And I've got a fresh batch of kooky clay ideas to get us there!

Next to him, RITA (5), with her bright pink fluff and magenta dress, twirls like a happy ballerina, her own backpack bouncing gently with her. EMILIA, the ragdoll with the matching pink fluffy tutu, mimics her movements from the straps of Rita's bag.

RITA And we'll get there with dancing! A grand ballet of bravery!

EMILIA (In a sweet, gentle tone, a chime-like effect) A-and twirls of kindness!

Justin smiles and steps forward, giving Rita a warm hug. It's a sweet, brother-sister moment. They pull apart, but not before holding hands, a silent pact of their leadership.

JUSTIN (To Rita) Together, okay, little sis?

RITA (Squeezing his hand) Together, Big Brother Justin!

SAM GILLMAN (7), wearing his red hoodie and backwards cap, stands nearby with his backpack. PEET, CHIRP, and QUACK from Peep & The Big Wide World stand attentively at his feet. Sam watches the sibling leaders, a small, proud smile on his face.

SAM GILLMAN (Adjusting his cap) The leaders have spoken. And we're ready to roll!

PEEP Roll!

CHIRP Ready!

QUACK (Adjusting his tiny sailor's hat) Ready and rolling! Ahem, all systems go!

Just behind them, the Blue's Clues & You crew—SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX—along with SATIN and CHENILLE from TrollsTopia, stand with a large crescent moon bed held aloft.

SIDETABLE DRAWER We're keeping the bed safe and sound!

TICKETY TOCK (Ringing) Every second, every minute!

SLIPPERY SOAP A clean getaway, guaranteed!

SATIN And it’s so chic!

CHENILLE The perfect accessory for our journey!

As the group prepares to depart, ROZ the robot, accompanied by FINK the fox and BRIGHTBILL the hybrid goose from The Wild Robot, arrive. Roz, with her large backpack, carefully places Moo-Moo Bear, Rubber Duck, and Lampo into Justin's pack.

ROZ Unit Justin's essential items have been secured. Your comfort is a priority for maximum operational efficiency.

FINK (Grinning slyly) Let's just say a little "insurance" has been added. Gotta travel light, after all.

BRIGHTBILL (Peeping happily) And I'll be the best lookout! Peep!

[SFX: A soft, orchestral version of "Go the Distance" begins to play, shifting slightly in tone as each character sings.]

The heroes, with a renewed sense of purpose, begin their journey. They start down a trail winding through the wild Pokémon-filled hills.

JUSTIN It's been a long day, but we made some real progress!

RITA And I didn't even get a speck of dirt on my tutu! Mostly.

SQUIDGY I'll get it off for you, Rita! Just give me a second!

Suddenly, an ODDISH [Pokémon] with a friendly, eager look approaches the campsite, accompanied by PAPRIKA and CINNAMON from Blue's Clues & You. Paprika holds a tray of yummy-looking snacks.

ODDISH (KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY) Oddish! (Presents the snacks with a flourishing gesture.)

PAPRIKA We brought snacks! For a quick refuel on your adventure!

CINNAMON (Adjusting his cap) Consider it a snack-tacular support system!

The heroes all cheer as they gather around, sharing the snacks and talking about the journey ahead.

JUSTIN Thanks, everyone! With a team like this, nothing can stop us!

RITA We'll find that star!

[SFX: A more determined, upbeat rendition of the song begins to play.]

EXT. ROAD - SUNRISE

The heroes, feeling refreshed and energized, are now running down a long, winding road as the sun rises. BRIGHTBILL, the goose, soars high above them, singing with a determined, melodic tone.

EXT. MOUNTAIN - SUNSET

Finally, the heroes are on a BRAVIARY's back, flying all the way to the top of a towering mountain view. The sunset paints the sky in brilliant hues of orange, pink, and purple. Below them, wild flying Pokémon fill the air. As they reach the summit, they see the night sky, filled with countless twinkling stars and glowing moons. The heroes look out at the beautiful sight, their determination stronger than ever.

JUSTIN (Looking up at the stars) We're getting closer... I can feel it!

RITA The Wishing Star is out there... and we're going to find it!

SAM GILLMAN No doubt about it!

Scene 14

INT. TREEHOUSE - NIGHT

A gentle moonlight streams through the window of a cozy, cluttered treehouse. Stuffed animals, video game controllers, and a small pile of mechanical parts lie around. JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (8), his veggie green skin glowing softly, holds up a worn, slightly crumpled wanted poster. LAURA CARROT (9) leans in close, her bright orange face full of concern. Next to them, BOUNSWEET, the Pokémon, floats and giggles nervously, its calyx leaves quivering. ROONEY, the olive hound, sits on his haunches, his long ears twitching. BB-8, the droid, rolls silently nearby, its little head cocked.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (ANTONIO BANDERAS, V.O.) In the past, the Wishing Star had seen many a misdeed... and few were as infamous as the crimes of a certain, self-proclaimed "Bad Guys." Their reputation was feared from the smallest playroom to the biggest city.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE) It all started at Peppa's Playgroup. Mr. Wolf and his crew had a reputation for being... well, very, very bad.

FLASHBACK SEQUENCE BEGINS

INT. PEPPA'S PLAYGROUP - DAY

A brightly colored, innocent-looking playgroup room. The PLAYGROUP GANG—Peppa Pig, George, Rebecca Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, and all their friends—are enjoying a normal day, laughing and playing.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) It was a lovely, sunny day, perfect for a little playtime...

Madame Gazelle is leading a sing-along, her cheerful voice echoing through the room.

MADAME GAZELLE (MORWENNA BANKS) ...and a one, and a two...

Suddenly, the large toy box in the corner starts to rumble and shake.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) But no one saw what was coming next. The Bad Guys were here, and they weren't here to play.

The lid of the toy box bursts open, revealing THE BAD GUYS in a dramatic plume of smoke and stuffed animals.

JAILBREAK (MALLORY LOW) All right, you little squirts! Hands in the air!

The Playgroup Gang screams in terror, their happy playtime shattered. The kids scatter, but MR. WOLF (MICHAEL GODERE), wearing his trademark suit, calmly steps forward and takes out a frying pan.

MR. WOLF (MICHAEL GODERE) Oopsie. Don't mind me. Just borrowing this for a sec!

He swings the frying pan in a swift motion, and WHANG! It hits Madame Gazelle directly on the head with a cartoon SFX, sending her spinning in place with stars circling her head. The kids gasp.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) And that's when things really went sideways. Mr. Wolf got Madame Gazelle right in the noggin with a frying pan!

Next, MR. SNAKE (CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS), slithers toward the lunch table, his long tongue flickering.

MR. SNAKE (CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS) Lunch is served! For me, that is.

He unhinges his jaw and, with a loud GULP, inhales all the lunchboxes and juice boxes in a single, vacuum-like slurp.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) Then, Mr. Snake swallowed all the lunches. All of them. In one big gulp. It was disgusting.

MR. SHARK (EZEKIEL AJEIGBE), in a clever disguise of a large trench coat and fedora, waddles over to the toy shelf.

MR. SHARK (EZEKIEL AJEIGBE) These'll go for a premium on the black market!

With a large, canvas bag, he quickly scoops up every toy, from teddy bears to building blocks, making a loud SCA-RUNCH sound.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) Mr. Shark, using his totally unconvincing disguise, stole all the toys.

Meanwhile, 'MR. PIRANHA (RAUL CEBALLOS), muscles bulging, performs an impressive series of martial arts moves.

MR. PIRANHA (RAUL CEBALLOS) Hiya! Ho!

The terrified and crying Playgroup Gang are kicked one by one, with SFX of ricocheting objects, into a massive, cartoonishly large cannon that was seemingly pulled out of nowhere.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE, V.O.) And Mr. Piranha used his kung-fu to put the kids in a giant cannon. They were not having a good time.

Finally, JAILBREAK (MALLORY LOW) and MS. TARANTULA (MALLORY LOW) are at a laptop, frantically typing on the keyboard. A green loading bar appears on the screen.

MS. TARANTULA (MALLORY LOW) Initiate launch sequence!

Jailbreak presses a large, red, flashing button on the laptop with a BEEP-BOOP sound. The cannon fires with a thunderous BOOM! and the crying kids are launched into the horizon as a colorful, trailing SFX follows them. In the distance, the PEPPA TOWN CITIZENS, led by Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, frantically give chase.

MUMMY PIG (HOLLY PARK) Oh my goodness! Not our children!

DADDY PIG (GEORGE WEIGHTMAN) We'll save you!

FLASHBACK SEQUENCE ENDS

INT. TREEHOUSE - NIGHT

Junior puts the wanted poster down on a makeshift table.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE) And that's why we have to find that Wishing Star. To get rid of the Bad Guys once and for all.

LAURA CARROT (TRESS MACNEILLE) But they're so scary!

BOUNSWEET (POKÉMON) Boun... boun! (Translation: But we're a team!)

BB-8 (BILL HADER) (A series of excited beeps and chirps, translated: He's right! We can do it together!)

ROONEY (WALT DOHRN) (A happy bark, translated: Yes! Let's get them!)

Junior smiles at his friends, a determined look on his face.

JUNIOR ASPARAGUS (TRESS MACNEILLE) Okay. First, we need a plan. And some snacks. Definitely snacks.

The group nods in agreement, a team ready for their quest.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (ANTONIO BANDERAS, V.O.) And so, with a shared purpose and a very serious need for snacks, our heroes embarked on their journey. Their quest would be a long one, but for the Wishing Star, no distance was too far.

Scene 15

INT. MOON MOUNTAIN - NIGHT

A beautiful, dreamlike scene unfolds on the soft, white surface of the crescent moon-shaped bed. A dazzling array of Pokémon from every region imaginable - from the familiar Charizard to the majestic Lugia, the playful Rowlet, and the glittering Tinkaton - soar, drift, and play among the stars. The sky is a canvas of twinkling lights, and the giant, glowing moon hangs overhead.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Smooth, inviting voice) On the mountain of the colossal crescent moon bed, under a blanket of stars and surrounded by the gentle hum of the Pokémon, our heroes took a moment to rest. But even in this tranquil moment, the goal was never far from their minds...

JUSTIN and his younger sister RITA sit together, their heads bent over a large sketchpad. They both hold crayons, their small hands working together. Rita, in her cute magenta dress and pink fluffy tutu, leans into Justin, who has his arm around her. They are surrounded by their packs.

JUSTIN (Smiling softly) Here, Rita. You can draw the sparkly part.

RITA (Giggles) And you draw the pointy part, Justin!

They hug tightly, their bond radiating warmth.

Nearby, SAM holds a pair of binoculars to his eyes, scanning the sky with awe.

SAM Whoa! I've never seen so many Pokémon at once! There's a Dragonite, and a Rayquaza, and... is that a Miraidon?

SQUIDGY, EMILIA, PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK lie on MOO-MOO BEAR, looking at the faded poster from the Star Butterfly Amusement Park.

SQUIDGY The Wishing Star... it seems so far away.

EMILIA We've come all this way, Squidgy. We can't give up.

PEEP Remember the poster? 'The Journey of a Lifetime'...

CHIRP What happens if we don't make it in time?

QUACK (Adjusting his sailor hat) We'll just have to be extra fast, that's what! No time for dawdling!

Oddish, with his leafy top and cheerful demeanor, stands with Paprika, who holds her graham-cracker smartphone, and Cinnamon, who adjusts his cool baseball cap.

ODDISH (Excitedly) Okay, Paprika, Cinnamon! Ready for the big reveal?

PAPRIKA Totally! Let's get the show on the road!

CINNAMON This is gonna be epic.

Oddish, with the help of Paprika and Cinnamon, pulls a large, flat-screen TV out of Roz's large backpack. The TV's screen is dark. SIDETABLE DRAWER, her five small backpacks resting nearby, stands with TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Nodding firmly) Let's see what's happening out there.

TICKETY TOCK (Ticking rhythmically) Time to turn it on! Every second counts!

SLIPPERY SOAP (Bubbles trailing him)

Hope they have some good news for us!

SHOVEL & PAIL (In unison) Fingers crossed!

MAILBOX (Waving his flag) Let's see what the world is up to!

Sidetable Drawer holds the remote and points it at the TV. A click and a flash of light, and the screen comes to life.

TV SCREEN

TIFFANY FLUFFET, looking glamorous and slightly panicked, appears on the news. The background shows the massive, colorful Star Butterfly's Colossal Amusement Park.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) Good evening, viewers! This is Tiffany Fluffet reporting live from Star Butterfly's Colossal Amusement Park, where the race to the Wishing Star has just concluded with a stunning series of heartbreaks!

WISHING STAR (ON TV) The TV screen shows the previous attempts.

FIRST ATTEMPT

The LOUD HOUSE GANG, exhausted but determined, are seen on a platform trying to reach the Wishing Star, which hovers just out of reach. A countdown timer ticks down ominously.

LINCOLN LOUD Just a little further!

LORI LOUD Come on, people! We are literally so close!

LUNA LOUD Rock and roll! Let's do this!

The timer hits ZERO. All the Louds say "Aw nuts!" in unison. A cartoonish SPEAKER BOX with Star Butterfly's voice appears.

STAR BUTTERFLY SPEAKER BOX (ON TV) TIMES UP!

One by one, the Louds vanish with a comical puff of smoke, replaced by a picture of the Piggy Food Factory. Their backpacks are left behind. Tiffany Fluffet appears again, a look of faux-sadness on her face.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) A truly devastating end for the Loud family! Vanished to the dreaded Piggy Food Factory! A tough break indeed.

SECOND ATTEMPT

The CASAGRANDES GANG, equally determined, appear on the platform.

RONNIE ANNE SANTIAGO Come on, gang! We can do this!

SID CHANG The Wishing Star is ours!

The timer hits ZERO. All the Casagrandes say "Aw nuts!" in unison.

STAR BUTTERFLY SPEAKER BOX (ON TV) TIMES UP!

One by one, they vanish to the Piggy Food Factory, leaving their bags.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) And another loss! The Casagrandes, a valiant effort, but alas, they too have been sent to the factory!

THIRD ATTEMPT

The PRIMOS GANG, full of youthful energy, are seen on the platform.

TATER RAMIREZ HUMPHREY We're gonna do it! For all the primos!

LITA PEREZ We've got this!

The timer hits ZERO. All the Primos say "Aw nuts!" in unison.

STAR BUTTERFLY SPEAKER BOX (ON TV) TIMES UP!

They vanish to the Piggy Food Factory, leaving their bags.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) And that's all, folks! Three families, three failures, and all sent to a certain... factory. Will anyone ever reach the Wishing Star?

MOON MOUNTAIN

The group watches the TV in stunned silence.

ROZ (Her voice filled with concern) They vanished... they'll never be seen again?

BRIGHTBILL, Roz's adopted goose son, looks on in horror.

BRIGHTBILL That can't be true! We have to save them!

FINK (Scoffs) Whoa, who saw that coming? It was obvious from the start.

SATIN (Holding her smartphone)

This is terrible!

CHENILLE (Right next to her, equally horrified)

We have to do something!

Satin and Chenille quickly dial a number on their shared smartphone.

SATIN Gene! Hi-5! We need your help!

GENE MEH (V.O. FROM PHONE) What's up, Trolls?

HI-5 MEH (V.O. FROM PHONE) Did we miss something cool?

CHENILLE It's about the Wishing Star! Everyone is disappearing!

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.)

The stakes were higher than ever. The team had to find a way to navigate this treacherous journey and save not only themselves but the others who had failed. The true challenge had only just begun.

A vast, glowing crescent moon bed, impossibly huge, floats in the nighttime sky. The surface is soft and pillowy, surrounded by a cosmic canopy. Flying Pokémon of every kind drift through the star-filled expanse. The stars twinkle brightly and the moon itself radiates a gentle glow. Below, perched on the edge of the celestial bed, a diverse group of CARTOON CHARACTERS are gathered. JUSTIN (8), wears his white tee with red trim. SQUIDGY (an orange clay blob) sits beside him. RITA (5) wears her magenta dress and fluffy tutu. Beside her is EMILIA, a ragdoll with a matching tutu.

JUSTIN (reading aloud from a children's book) ...And so, the brave little travelers followed the Wishing Star, hoping to find their way home.

A beat, as the heroes absorb the words.

SAM GILLMAN (7) listens intently, wearing his red hoodie and backwards cap. He’s with PEEP (yellow chick), CHIRP (red robin), and QUACK (blue duckling in a sailor's hat).

PEEP (softly) A Wishing Star...

QUACK (dreamily) Wish I could find one of those.

The other ALLIES, including SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX, SATIN, CHENILLE, ROZ, FINK, BRIGHTBILL, ODDISH, PAPRIKA, and CINNAMON, are also watching.

Suddenly, a DRIFLOON floats down, with GENE MEH and HI-5 MEH holding onto its string, landing with a light THUMP on the pillowy moon.

HI-5 MEH (calling out)

We're here! Just floating in for a landing! (beat)

Wow, this is softer than the Memory Lane cloud!

GENE MEH (looking worried)

Hi, everyone... Listen, there's bad news. The Louds, the Casagrandes, and the Primos... they're gone.

A collective gasp from the group.

RITA (clutching her book tighter) Gone? Where?

GENE MEH Vanished! One by one. All we found were their bags. They've been taken to the Piggy Food Factory!

The group is silent, shocked.

SAM GILLMAN (suddenly snapping his fingers) Wait! I've got an idea!

He points towards a small, decorative BABY MOBILE with a miniature wishing star and pull string, hanging from the ceiling of the crescent moon bed.

CARTOON SFX: a little lightbulb CHIME.

SAM GILLMAN (gesturing) Maybe that's not just a decoration. Maybe it's a real Wishing Star!

Sam takes a deep breath, his gills puffing out. He stretches his webbed legs, reaching and stretching, until his foot hooks the pull string. He pulls it, his leg stretching impossibly long like a rubber band.

CARTOON SFX: a rubbery, boinging stretch sound.

He hands the pull string to Justin. Justin takes it, a small smile on his face.

JUSTIN (to Rita) Ready, Rita?

RITA Ready, Big Brother! The other heroes look on with heartwarming smiles as the siblings take hold of the pull string together.

HEROES (SINGING) (A parody of "Good Company") (sung sweetly, almost like a lullaby) You've got a cute little sibling, by your side With a warm hug and a place to hide A helping hand when you're in a mess A sweet little heart, to hold and to bless...

As they sing, the pull string begins to glow and, with a magical shimmer, lifts Justin (holding Squidgy) and Rita (with Emilia) toward the celestial ceiling.

CARTOON SFX: magical chimes and shimmering dust sound.

The siblings rise, floating gently past the drifting Pokémon and twinkling stars. They gaze up at the vast, star-filled night sky, their faces in awe.

JUSTIN It's so big... and quiet.

RITA It’s like the whole sky is just for us.

Justin holds Rita a little closer.

JUSTIN (whispering) I love you, Rita.

RITA I love you too, Justin. Their eyes close, trusting in the magic and each other.

CARTOON SFX: a soft, happy sigh.

From his backpack, Roz (the robot) pulls out a smaller, cozy Crescent Moon Bed. Brightbill, the orphaned goose, helps her position it gently beneath the floating siblings.

CARTOON SFX: a gentle mechanical WHIR.

The sleeping siblings, still holding the pull string and their plush toys, drift downwards like falling feathers, landing softly on the plush bed. The pull string transforms into a gentle blanket, covering them both. Sam walks over and carefully places Justin’s teddy bear, MOO-MOO BEAR, onto the pillow beside him. He then tucks them both in, the other heroes gathered around, all looking on with adoration.

ANTONIO BANDERAS (V.O.) Ah, the love between siblings. So pure, so honest. Even in the face of great danger, it can bring a moment of peace, a tranquil lullaby, under the watchful eyes of the stars...

The camera slowly pans away from the sleeping children, showing the diverse group of characters, all united by their shared journey and concern for the two young heroes. The Pokémon continue to drift lazily across the cosmic tapestry above.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, the weary wanderers rest, their journey a tapestry of triumph and tribulations. But a story never sleeps...and sometimes, the most unexpected friends arrive when you are least prepared.

The camera pans across a breathtaking night sky, a galaxy of CGI stars and glowing moons. A colossal crescent moon bed, nestled on a peak, serves as a soft, ethereal landing spot. Numerous FLYING POKÉMON' from every region imaginable (Kanto to Paldea) flit and glow around the celestial furniture, their calls echoing softly in the cosmic breeze. In the moon-shaped bed, JUSTIN (8), holding his teddy bear MOO-MOO, and RITA (5), clutching her ragdoll EMILIA, are fast asleep. They are covered by a shimmering Wishing Star blanket, their faces serene. Nearby, a collection of ALLIES are nestled in sleeping bags: SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX, SATIN AND CHENILLE, ROZ, FINK, BRIGHTBILL, ODDISH, PAPRIKA, CINNAMON, GENE MEH, and HI-5 MEH. They are all snoring or sleeping peacefully. SAM GILLMAN (7), his big backpack slung beside him, sits awake with PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK. They watch over the sleeping siblings.

SAM They look so comfy… like nothing bad could ever happen here.

PEEP Peep! It’s the prettiest bed in the whole wide world.

CHIRP And the quietest, too.

Suddenly, a high-pitched, metallic shriek RIPS through the silence. A loud, WHOOSHING sound, followed by an explosive “KABOOM!” The camera cuts to the sky, where a dark, blurry shape is rocketing towards them. A purple blast of plasma FIRES from the shape, impacting the rocks below the crescent moon with a series of concussive “CRASH!” sound effects. The shape resolves itself into TOOTHLESS, a sleek, black Night Fury. He lands on the edge of the crescent moon with a thunderous “THUMP!” His eyes are narrowed, his ears flattened in a territorial snarl, emitting a low, guttural “RUUUUHHHHRRRR” sound. The allies stir awake with startled gasps and cartoon sound effects like “WOAH!” and “YIKES!”. Sam, Peep, Chirp, and Quack immediately jump in front of the sleeping Justin and Rita.

SAM (Raising his hands defensively) Stay back! Don’t you hurt them!

PEEP (Squeaking nervously) Peep! Go away, you scary dragon!

TOOTHLESS (Growling, before looking at the sleeping siblings. His expression softens slightly.)

He lets out a strange, choked sound, a sort of “HHHHRRMMMPPPHH”, before a glowing purple orb emerges from his mouth. Instead of plasma, however, it’s a shimmering, pearlescent bubble. The bubble pops, and inside is LADYBIRD LU (3), blinking sweetly. She is completely unharmed and clutching her own tiny backpack. The BIDDYBUDS are with her. Justin and Rita, hearing the commotion, awaken with wide eyes.

RITA (Rubbing her eyes) What’s happening? Is the dragon mad?

JUSTIN Woah… a real dragon!

Lu sees the two children and, with an energetic “YIPPEE!”, bounds towards them.

LADYBIRD LU Hi! I got a ride with my new dragon friend!

Justin, a natural leader, immediately opens his arms. Rita follows suit. Lu gives them a huge, joyful hug.

JUSTIN (Smiling) Wow! You came from inside the dragon?

LADYBIRD LU Yep! He’s a big, silly taxi!

RITA You’re… our cousin?

LADYBIRD LU Yep! Cousin Lu!

The five BIDDYBUDS, meanwhile, scurry over to Sidetable Drawer.

BIDDYBUD (RED) (Tapping on the drawer)

Here you go! We were holding these for you!

They place five small backpacks, perfectly sized, into Sidetable Drawer’s open drawer.

SIDETABLE DRAWER Oh, my! Thank you, Biddybuds! That was very thoughtful of you!

As the commotion settles, Justin and Rita approach Toothless, who is now sitting calmly, watching them with his big, curious eyes. Justin, holding his bear, reaches out a hand.

JUSTIN Hey there, big guy.

Toothless tilts his head. Justin hesitantly places a hand on the dragon’s snout. The Night Fury immediately nuzzles into the boy’s touch, purring with a sound like a vibrating motor. Rita giggles and reaches out to pet him, too.

JUSTIN You’re… our pet now?

TOOTHLESS (Letting out a soft, playful “GRRRUUUUUU”, his tongue lolling out like a dog.)

The CGI sound of the purring dragon is soft and comforting, contrasting with the earlier explosive noises.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) And so, the family grew. For in this cosmic quest, allies arrive from the stars, from the hidden worlds… and from the mouths of dragons.

The colossal Crescent Moon Bed glows softly, nestled against a backdrop of twinkling stars. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Hisui, and Paldea POKÉMON drift peacefully through the air, creating a serene, living galaxy. A colossal crescent moon bed, high in the cosmos. Flying Pokémon from every known region — Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Hisui, and Paldea — drift and twinkle like living constellations. The camera PANS across the celestial panorama. A cozy COUCH sits atop the moon's highest peak. JUSTIN (8), in his white T-shirt with red trim, holds his littlest sister, RITA (5), on his lap. She's a pink Jammbonian in a magenta dress and fluffy tutu. The two snuggle close, a picture of big-brother-little-sister affection. Their large backpacks rest beside them. SQUIDGY, a tub of kooky orange clay, and EMILIA, a ragdoll in a pink tutu, sit on the same couch, their eyes wide with wonder.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And so, high above the world, our heroes found a moment of peace. A brief, starlit silence, before the chaos to come.

Justin and Rita gaze up at the night sky.

RITA The moon is so big and cozy!

JUSTIN It's the coziest bed in the whole universe, Rita.

Squidgy and Emilia exchange awestruck glances.

SQUIDGY This is even better than the biggest pile of clay!

EMILIA (Gasping) Look at all the pretty lights!

Nearby, SAM GILLMAN (7)', a kraken in a red hoodie and cap, practices training Toothless. The dragon, resembling Stitch, playfully snaps at the training tools held by PEEP (yellow chicken), CHIRP (red robin), and QUACK (blue-purple duckling). Sam holds his teddy bear, Moo-Moo, in one arm.

SAM GILLMAN Good boy, Toothless! Come on, let's get that stick!

TOOTHLESS (Growls playfully, like Stitch)

PEEP Go get it, Toothless! Go!

QUACK This is serious training! No goofing around!

CHIRP Quack's right! A hero's pet needs to be ready for anything!

A little way off, LADYBIRD LU (3), a ladybug dragon rider in a red dress with polka dots, holds a wanted poster. She explains the backstory of the BAD GUYS to a small group of ALLIES. A group of multi-colored BIDDYBUDS surround her.

LADYBIRD LU And so, Jailbreak and her friends got away from Misty Luggins a long time ago. But now, they're going to Potato City!

SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX listen intently, along with the Pop Trolls, SATIN and CHENILLE, the robot ROZ, the fox FINK, and the Canada Goose hybrid BRIGHTBILL. ODDISH, PAPRIKA, CINNAMON, GENE MEH, and HI-5 MEH also gather around.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Her drawers rattling nervously) They sound awful!

TICKETY TOCK (Ticking loudly) It's about time we stopped them!

LADYBIRD LU (Holding up the wanted poster) We need to warn everyone!

Suddenly, Lu pulls out a REMOTE CONTROL and presses a button. A HUGE TV screen appears in the cosmic background.

EXT. POTATO CITY - NIGHT (ON TV SCREEN)

The scene on the TV shows a huge party. TIFFANY FLUFFET, a reporter with a microphone, stands in front of a bustling crowd.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) Tiffany Fluffet here, live from the Anniversary Party in Potato City! Look at all these happy faces! The Peppa Town Citizens are celebrating in style!

The camera shows the Peppa Pig PLAYGROUP GANG and their families enjoying games, food, and rides. Mr. Potato Gang is on stage.

MR. POTATO (ON TV) And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The grand reveal of the giant Anniversary Cake!

The crowd cheers. A massive cake is rolled onto the stage. Suddenly, a hidden panel on the cake opens. JAILBREAK, the hacker emoji, and MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") the female hacker tarantula, emerge, their laptops glowing menacingly.

JAILBREAK (ON TV) Bad Guys surprise!

The rest of the Bad Guys MR. WOLF, MR. SNAKE, MR. SHARK, and MR. PIRANHA burst out. The crowd GASPS in horror. The Peppa Town citizens scream and try to flee.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) Oh, dear me! A villainous interruption!

Mr. Wolf grabs a frying pan from a nearby vendor and BAM! He swings it at the Mr. Potato Gang, sending them spinning into a pile of confetti.

MR. WOLF (ON TV) We're starting with the main course!

Mr. Snake begins eating all the party food, his belly growing comically large.

MR. SNAKE (ON TV) Mmm, delicious! No scraps for you, losers!

Mr. Shark, using his disguise skills, starts snatching all the prizes and stuffing them into a huge bag.

MR. SHARK (ON TV) Look, I'm just here for the free stuff!

Mr. Piranha blocks the main exit, his kung-fu pose fierce.

MR. PIRANHA (ON TV) Nobody leaves!

He kicks the crying Playgroup Gang, sending them flying onto a cluster of balloons. The children drift away into the starry distance, their tiny voices fading.

Jailbreak and Ms. Tarantula power up their laptops. A giant VACUUM effect pulls the panicking Peppa Town citizens into a colossal cannon.

JAILBREAK (ON TV) Time to clear the air!

MS. TARANTULA (ON TV) Enjoy the view!

The cannon FIRES the citizens into the distance, their tiny figures disappearing over the horizon.

Tiffany Fluffet looks on, her face aghast.

TIFFANY FLUFFET (ON TV) They've been... sent away! This is a terrible, terrible news report!

INT. MOON MOUNTAIN - NIGHT

Back on the mountain, the heroes are horrified.

JUSTIN (Gasping) They're really doing it!

RITA (Tears welling up) The poor little pigs!

SAM GILLMAN We have to help them! We have to go right now!

SQUIDGY (Shaking with fear) They're going to ruin everything!

LADYBIRD LU (Holding the poster tightly) See? I told you! They're even worse than we thought!

The heroes look at each other, their faces filled with worry. The peaceful moment is over. SOUND of flying POKÉMON flutter past, their wings making gentle WHOOSHING and TWINKLING sounds. WISPY, glowing starlight and MOONGLOW envelop the entire mountain peak.

THE WISHING STAR NARRATOR (ANTONIO BANDERAS, V.O.) (Warmly, with a smooth, Spanish accent) Ah, but a truly great plan is not just about having an idea, but about finding the right voices to make it so. It took the wisdom of many, the speaking of their hearts, to find the words that would bring their wish to life.

JUSTIN, holding his littlest sister RITA, stands at the edge of the crescent moon. His backpack is full and heavy on his shoulders. Rita, in her beautiful magenta dress, smiles up at him, her own backpack still full.

JUSTIN (To Rita) See, Ri? We had an idea, and we told our friends, and now... it's all going to work out.

SQUIDGY, perched on Justin's shoulder, jiggles happily.

SQUIDGY (In a bubbly, playful voice) Woooosh! We did it!

RITA (Sweetly, in her pink Jammbonian voice) We used our inside voices to help.

EMILIA, the ragdoll, gives a little squeak of agreement from Rita's shoulder. SAM GILLMAN, holding Moo-Moo Bear, approaches with a hopeful look on his face. PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK follow behind him.

SAM GILLMAN (To Justin and Rita) Where'd the bad guys go, Justin? Did our idea make them go away forever?

CHIRP (Curious) Yeah, what happened?

QUACK (Nervously) I hope they're gone for good. My feathers are still a-fluster!

JUSTIN (Patiently, putting Rita down) Not forever, Sam. But they're gone for now. Paprika had the perfect idea.

PAPIKA enters, holding up her graham-cracker smartphone with a proud grin.

PAPIKA (Excited) I called Officer Boov Kyle! We used our words, and now they're getting a timeout. A big, long one!

CINNAMON (Nodding, wearing his white baseball cap backward)

Cool and laid-back, you know? Teamwork makes the dream work.

GENE MEH gives a supportive 'Thumbs Up' emoji sign, and HI-5 MEH waves his hand enthusiastically. ROZ, FINK, and BRIGHTBILL join the group, Roz holding her large backpack. The other allies, SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, and MAILBOX, gather around, their expressions all happy and relieved. Suddenly, a loud and comical CARTOON SIREN is heard approaching. SOUND of a cartoon POLICE SIREN.

INT. POTATO CITY - NIGHT

The BAD GUYS are in the middle of a gluttonous celebration. MR. SHARK, disguised as a giant potato, belches loudly.

MR. PIRANHA (Mouth full of potato salad) This is the life, eh, fellas? Nobody can catch us now!

JAILBREAK, wearing a ridiculous PARTY HAT, grins deviously at MS. TARANTULA.

JAILBREAK (To Ms. Tarantula) And with this party hat, I am now the queen of mischief! The star of my own show!

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Scoffs) Sure, Jailbreak, whatever you say. But remember, a hacker is only as good as her getaway plan.

Suddenly, a BOOMING voice is heard from above.

OFFICER BOOV KYLE (O.S.) (Deep and authoritative) Hold it right there, villains!

The BAD GUYS freeze, their eyes wide with terror. A giant spotlight from the sky beams down on them. SOUND of a cartoon searchlight HUM.

OFFICER BOOV KYLE (Stepping out of a large, floating police craft) Your party has been officially crashed!'

EEVEELUTION COPS, looking stern, surround the Bad Guys, their glowing eyes fixed on the felons. SOUND of several cartoon HANDCUFFS CLICKING. The BAD GUYS scramble to escape, but it's no use. Suddenly, POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS arrives in a large, armored police truck, surrounded by SQUIRTLE COPS.

POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS (Chuckles, in a deep, throaty voice) Don't worry, fellas. I've got your special VIP transportation right here.

SOUND of cartoon HANDCUFFS CLICKING and RATTLING. Misty Luggins cuffs the Bad Guys, even grabbing the Party Hat off Jailbreak's head.

JAILBREAK (Whimpering) But... but... my party hat!

MISTY LUGGINS (Scoffs) You can have it back when you're good. And that's not for a while.

The Bad Guys are loaded into the police truck, which takes off with a comical cartoon screech. SOUND of a police truck engine GROWLING and a comical SIREN.

EXT. MOUNTAIN OF THE COLOSSAL CRESCENT MOON BED - NIGHT

BACK with our heroes. The gang watches the police craft fly off into the distance, a collective cheer erupting among them. SOUND of celebratory HOORAYS and CHEERS. Justin turns to Rita, a big smile on his face.

JUSTIN (To Rita) See, Ri? We did it.

RITA (Hugs Justin tightly) I knew we could, Big Brother.

Sam Gillman runs over, holding Moo-Moo Bear.

SAM GILLMAN (To Justin) So... they're really gone now?

JUSTIN (Nods) They're at Misty Luggins' Prison for a while.

RITA (Innocently) But... what if they come back?

JUSTIN (Hugs Rita again, reassuringly) They won't. They know better now. Besides, if they do, we'll just have another idea!

SOUND of a gentle, hopeful music cue.

Scene 16

INT. MISTY'S HOLDING CELL - NIGHT

A low-budget, pulsating red light hangs in the center of the room. The sound of fuzzy, marching feet echoes in the halls outside.

NARRATOR (Voice of Antonio Banderas) The universe has a curious way of balancing things. While one group of heroes celebrates their small victory, another group of villains finds themselves with nothing but time… and a deck of cards.

FUZZY COPS (Singing, off-key) The fuzzy fuzz goes marching left and right, hoorah, hoorah! The fuzzy fuzz goes marching left and right, hoorah, hoorah! The fuzzy fuzz goes marching left and right, and he stops to sing all night. And they all go marching to the jailhouse door…

The singing and marching pass the bars, revealing a group of cartoon villains inside a jail cell. They are all in prison jumpsuits, playing a tense card game.

JAILBREAK, a shadowy hacker, tosses her cards onto the pile.

JAILBREAK (Sighs) You know, for someone so good at cracking safes, you’re terrible at poker.

SNAKE, a cunning safecracker, stares at his hand.

SNAKE I think you're bluffing, Jailbreak. I'm calling you on it.

A news report plays on a small, grainy television inside the cell. TIFFANY, a news anchor, reports from outside.

TIFFANY (V.O. - On TV) …and in other news, the daring team of young heroes who captured the infamous "Bad Guys" have moved on in their quest. Local authorities confirm the team, led by the 8-year-old JUSTIN and his younger sister RITA, is now on a mission to find the fabled Wishing Star Map.

The camera cuts to a photo of the kids and their vast group of allies, including a yellow chicken, a red robin, a blue duck, and other small, colorful characters.

TIFFANY (V.O. - On TV) These brave youngsters, along with a team of colorful sidekicks, are being hailed as heroes.

The news report shows a quick clip of the heroes celebrating their victory. The villains' faces fall.

WEB (Slamming her cards down) Those pesky kids! And their adorable little allies! I can’t believe we got caught by them.

WOLF, a pickpocket, pats her shoulder.

WOLF Hey, it's not over yet. We'll find a way out of here. We always do. The news report switches to a live shot of Mayor Marmalade, a charismatic and well-regarded figure.

TIFFANY (V.O. - On TV) Meanwhile, Mayor Marmalade protects the citizens of Peppa Town. The mayor has announced a large citywide celebration to commemorate the capture of the notorious gang.

Jailbreak and Web lock eyes. A mischievous spark ignites between them.

JAILBREAK (A glint in her eye) Did you see that, Webs? We're not the only 'bad guys' in this story.

Webs pulls out a small, crumpled, and previously unnoticed 'Wanted' poster. It shows a familiar face... Marmalade’s. She tosses the poster to Jailbreak, who catches it with a knowing smirk.

WEB Precisely. This little poster has some new information I've been working on. Suddenly, Police Chief MISTY LUGGINS, a tough and no-nonsense officer, passes the cell.

JAILBREAK (Shouting to Misty) Chief! We have something for you! Something about the real villain of this story!

Jailbreak holds up the poster of Marmalade, revealing new details and evidence of his true, nefarious nature. Misty, intrigued, comes to a stop. She reviews the evidence presented by the hackers.

MISTY LUGGINS (Scoffs, but a flicker of doubt crosses her face) You're telling me that this is real?

WEB We have the proof. We'll give it to you... for a price.

Misty, after a moment of consideration, unlocks the cell.

MISTY LUGGINS (Sighs, handing them back their belongings) You’re lucky I don’t like being played for a fool. Now, get out of my sight.

Jailbreak and Web, now free, pull on their signature clothing. Jailbreak places a small party hat on her head.

JAILBREAK (Triumphantly) And just like that… we’re back in business.

The group of villains all high-five each other, a unified front once again.

WOLF Now, let's go get that map.

Scene 17

EXT. PEPPA TOWN - MAYOR'S OFFICE - DAYTIME

(SFX: Bright, cheerful music plays; sounds of a bustling, happy town)

The camera soars high above the vibrant, watercolor world of Peppa Town. The sun is shining, and the colors are brilliant.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (ANTONIO BANDERAS' voice, warm and slightly theatrical) Ah, Peppa Town! A place of simple joys, where puddles are for jumping and mayors are for... well, for running the town! Little did these unsuspecting citizens know, their peaceful community was about to get a rather un-neighborly visit.

(SFX: Cheerful brass band music swells)

Down below, a large crowd of familiar anthropomorphic animals has gathered in front of the Mayor's office building. The Playgroup Gang and nearly every citizen in Peppa Town are cheering wildly. The newly elected MAYOR PROFESSOR MARMALADE (RICHARD AYOADE), a highly intelligent, British-accented guinea pig in a smart suit, stands on a podium, waving with a smug, self-satisfied grin.

MAYOR PROFESSOR MARMALADE (Into a microphone, posh British accent) Thank you, thank you all! As your new Mayor, I promise a future of... prosperity!

(SFX: Wild cheering from the crowd)

MUMMY PIG Hooray for the new Mayor!

DADDY PIG (Chuckles) He's a smart one, that guinea pig!

Suddenly, the cheerful scene is interrupted by the blare of sirens.

(SFX: Police sirens; tires screeching)

A fleet of police vehicles pulls up sharply. POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS (ALEX BORSTEIN), a formidable human officer, leaps out of the lead car, clipboard in hand. She's followed by a cohort of SQUIRTLE COPS, OFFICER BOOV KYLE (MATT JONES) with EEVEELUTION COPS, and several FUZZBERT COPS (WALT DOHRN), who look like little tufts of hair with legs.

POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS (Bellowing) Professor Marmalade! You're under arrest for fraud, impersonating a public official, and general nefariousness!

The crowd's cheering turns into confused muttering.

MAYOR PROFESSOR MARMALADE (Sputtering) Preposterous! This is an outrage!

OFFICER BOOV KYLE (Excited, high-pitched voice) The Bad Guys, they trick-ed you! You are a bad little guinea pig!

Misty Luggins unceremoniously grabs Marmalade by the scruff of his neck.

POLICE CHIEF MISTY LUGGINS Tell it to the judge, fuzz-face!

(SFX: Guffaw! (Mummy Pig laugh))

She shoves him into the back of a waiting police van. The doors slam shut.

(SFX: Van doors slam; van engine roars to life)

The police convoy speeds off. The citizens of Peppa Town are left in stunned silence, which quickly turns to panic.

(SFX: Gasps from the crowd; "Oh dear!" "What a mess!")

DADDY PIG (Panicked oink) Oh, my goodness! We've lost our Mayor!

MADAME GAZELLE (Worried) Who will lead us now?

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) The town descended into chaos, a symphony of oinks and worried bleats. The Mayor was gone, and the culprits were watching from above.

EXT. MAYOR'S BUILDING ROOFTOP - CONTINUOUS

(SFX: Triumphant, sneaky heist music begins)

Perched high on the roof, THE BAD GUYS watch the police vans disappear into the distance. JAILBREAK (MALLORY LOW), a blue emoji with a party hat perched jauntily on her head, is high-fiving MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (MALLORY LOW).

MR. WOLF (MICHAEL GODERE) (Smirking, adjusts his tie) And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you ensure a smooth transition of power.

MR. SNAKE (CHRIS DIAMANTOPOULOS)' (Hissing contentedly) One less do-gooder in the world. Nicely done, Webs.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Clicking her mandibles) Piece of cake. Now, who's ready for some birthday cake? It's Jailbreak's big day!

MR. PIRANHA (RAUL CEBALLOS) (Pumped up, flexing) Sí! Party time! And after the party, we do the rob time!

JAILBREAK (Grinning) Let's get this party started. Operation: Birthday Heist is a go!

EXT. PEPPA TOWN STREETS / VARIOUS HOUSES - LATER

(SFX: Slinky, upbeat jazz heist music continues)

The Bad Guys' large moving truck rolls down the quiet streets of Peppa Town. The gang moves with practiced efficiency, robbing every house on the block. They enter and exit various houses in a blur of motion.

INT. PEPPA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

Mr. Wolf holds open a large moving box as Mr. Shark and Mr. Piranha clear the room. Jailbreak spots Peppa's beloved Teddy on a chair. She pauses, puts on a sad face for a moment, then swipes it, placing it gently under her arm alongside George's Mr. Dinosaur and Evie's Wakwak the Rubber Duck.

MR. SNAKE (From the kitchen) Nothing valuable here, just mud and tiny tea sets.

EXT. REBECCA RABBIT'S HOUSE - YARD - MOMENTS LATER

Ms. Tarantula quickly unhooks a clothesline of carrots while Mr. Wolf grabs a toy carrot and Richard's Mr. Triceratops.

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Into a walkie-talkie) Rabbit residence, all clear!

EXT. PEPPA TOWN STREETS - CONTINUOUS

The montage continues. They hit Suzy Sheep's house (leaving the owl and penguin), Danny Dog's house, Pedro Pony's house, and the Zebra residence (taking most things, but leaving Zoë's monkey and the twins' mice).

(SFX: Grunts of exertion; cartoon "boing" and "zip" SFX as they work quickly)

The Moving Truck is getting fuller by the minute.

INT. THE BAD GUYS MOVING TRUCK - CARGO HOLD - CONTINUOUS

The cargo area is overflowing with pink pig furniture, toys, and various household items.

MR. SHARK (EZEKIEL AJEIGBE) (Wearing a stolen pink lampshade as a hat) This is the easiest score ever! No security, no alarms!

MR. WOLF

Amateurs.

EXT. PEPPA TOWN - VARIOUS LOCATIONS - LATER

The truck is now moving on to the town's public buildings. The Playgroup, the Aquarium, the Museum—nothing is safe.

(SFX: Truck rumbling; cartoon "crash" and "thud" SFX in the background)

MR. PIRANHA

(Emerging from the museum with a large, ancient-looking bone)

Arriba! This will look nice in the hideout!

MR. SNAKE (Eyeing the bone) I call dibs on the femur.

EXT. PEPPA TOWN STREETS - LATER

The sun begins to set over a barren, empty Peppa Town. The streets are desolate. The citizens are now truly homeless, wandering around in a daze, clutching small, left-behind items.

(SFX: Whimpering; sad, slow music replaces the heist tune)

The fully-loaded Bad Guys Moving Truck drives past them. Jailbreak, with her party hat still on, is sitting in the passenger seat, hugging Peppa's Teddy.

JAILBREAK (Smiling broadly) Okay, guys. We got the goods, we got the cake back at the hideout, and we got the best birthday haul ever!

MR. WOLF (Driving, chuckles) Home, James!

The truck drives off into the distance, leaving the miserable, oinking townsfolk behind.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) And so, the Bad Guys made off with the entirety of Peppa Town's belongings, leaving the citizens with nothing but the clothes on their backs... and a renewed appreciation for competent Mayoral staff. The heist was a roaring success, but as we know, the journey is far from over.

(SFX: Fade to black; music changes to something mysterious and foreboding)

Scene 18

EXT. FOREST PATH - DAY

Sounds of various WILD POKÉMON (KANTO, JOHTO, HOENN, SINNOH, UNOVA, KALOS, ALOLA, GALAR, HISUI, AND PALDEA) echo through the vibrant, green forest. A path of packed earth winds through the trees.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, the call of the wild. A place where diverse creatures roamed free, and a small band of ne'er-do-wells found a new bounce in their step.

JAILBREAK (HACKER EMOJI) (Mallory Low), wearing her party hat and clutching Peppa's teddy bear, skips happily alongside MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Mallory Low). They sing a cheerful, off-key parody.

JAILBREAK & WEBS (Singing, to the tune of "You Are My Sunshine") You are our hackers, our only hackers You make us happy when doors are gray You'll never know, dearies, how much we love you Please don't take our laptops away!

MR. WOLF (Michael Godere), MR. SNAKE (Chris Diamantopoulos), MR. SHARK (Ezekiel Ajeigbe), and MR. PIRANHA (Raul Ceballos) follow behind, watching the skipping duo with bemused expressions.

MR. WOLF Well, that's a new one. Webs, you've really turned her around.

WEBS (Giggling) What can I say? We speak the same language: binary code and bad karaoke.

MR. SNAKE (Scoffs) Disgusting. The only thing they should be singing about is the sweet sound of a vault cracking open.

MR. SHARK Aw, lighten up, Snaker! It's kind of catchy!

MR. PIRANHA Yeah! Makes my muscles wanna dance! Cha-cha-cha!

They arrive at the entrance to PIG CITY. It is a large, medieval-style gate made of wood and mud. As they approach, the massive FRONT DOOR suddenly SLAMS SHUT from the inside.

MR. WOLF (Groans) Well, that's rude.

MR. SNAKE They clearly weren't expecting company. Jailbreak and Webs immediately stop skipping, pull out their sleek laptops, and their fingers begin a rapid, percussive dance across the keyboards. Cartoon SFX of TYPING and GLITCHING sounds fill the air.

JAILBREAK (Focused) Firewall detected... bypassing.

WEBS Obfuscating our digital footprint... done.

JAILBREAK Injecting opening protocol... and... we're in!

The heavy chains and bolts on the door CLANK and SLIDE open with a loud metallic screech. The door swings inward.

MR. WOLF Nice work, ladies.

The Bad Guys confidently walk inside.

INT. PIG CITY ENTRANCE - DAY

It is a bustling, if smelly, town filled with GREEN PIGS, SMURFS, MINIONS, and FRIPPLES of various colors (Red, Yellow, Green, Purple), all looking around nervously at the new arrivals.

Suddenly, a voice YELLS at them.

DAFFNEY GILLFIN (Ashleigh Crystal Hairston) (Furious) HEY, YOU!

Daffney Gillfin points an accusatory finger at the group. She looks extremely angry.

DAFFNEY GILLFIN (Cont.) You made me colossal farts for what you did to my butt, and you murdered Tooter Shelby! I'll get you for this! The Bad Guys stop short, staring at the irate Snork.

MR. SNAKE ...I'm sorry, what?

JAILBREAK (To Daffney) We literally just got here. Also, what is a "Tooter Shelby"?

Daffney charges at them, yelling unintelligibly. Without missing a beat, Jailbreak and Webs grab the small Snork by her arms.

WEBS Wolf, Piranha, help!

Mr. Snake SPITS a massive BIG RED BALLOON out of his mouth. It inflates instantly with a loud FWOMP SFX.

MR. SNAKE Here!

Mr. Wolf and Mr. Piranha help Mr. Snake TIE Daffney's hands together with the balloon string.

DAFFNEY GILLFIN Let go of me, you scaled freaks!

The balloon immediately lifts Daffney off her feet. She kicks and screams as she floats upward, higher and higher.

DAFFNEY GILLFIN (Shouting as she rises) You haven't heard the last of me! I shall return!

MR. SHARK (Waving) Bye-bye! Have a nice float!

The rest of the Bad Guys watch her disappear into the sky, relieved.

MR. WOLF (Sighs happily) Problem solved. Now, back to business.

They walk further into the city. The Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and Fripples scatter in fear as the Bad Guys pass, whispering nervously to each other.

INT. PIG CITY STREETS - DAY The Bad Guys walk past the frightened populace.

MR. PIRANHA (Flexing) They are afraid of us! I like it!

MR. WOLF (Smiling) We are the bad guys, Piranha. It's kind of our thing.

They look up, hearing a loud WHOOSH SFX.

EXT. PIG CITY - ROOFTOPS - DAY

Perched on the roof of King Pig's Castle, a group of Heroes and Allies have just landed. JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi), holding his littlest sister RITA (Kristen Li), hops off TOOTHLESS (Chris Sanders), the sleek black Night Fury. Justin has a huge backpack and SQUIDGY BINOCULARS (Tom Kenny) tucked into a pocket. Rita has a cute pink dress and her backpack, with EMILIA (Kristen Li), her ragdoll. SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) and his crew, PEEP (Maxwell Uretsky), CHIRP (Amanda Soha), and QUACK (Jamie Watson), dismount. LADYBIRD LU (Freya Mclaughlin) and her BIDDYBUDS (Tress MacNeille) land smoothly. Their Allies follow: SIDETABLE DRAWER (Skywalker Hughes), TICKETY TOCK (Maja Vujicic), SLIPPERY SOAP (Lexi Perri), SHOVEL (Luke Dietz), PAIL (Michela Luci), MAILBOX (Doug Murray), SATIN and CHENILLE (Fryda Wolff), ROZ (Lupita Nyong'o) with her large backpack, FINK (Pedro Pascal), BRIGHTBILL (Kit Connor), ODDISH (Keegan-Michael Key), PAPRIKA (Abigail Oliver), CINNAMON (Jayd Deroché), GENE MEH (Justin Rupple), and HI-5 MEH (David Fynn).

JUSTIN (To the group) Okay, everyone. The Wishing Star Map should be inside King Pig's private quarters. The air ducts are our best bet for a silent entry.

ROZ (Her voice robotic yet determined) Understood. Follow my lead.

The group moves quickly towards a large AIR DUCT vent on the roof. They start filing inside, one by one.

INT. PIG CITY STREETS - DAY

The Bad Guys watch the whole operation from the street below.

MR. WOLF (Eyes wide) Did you see that? A Night Fury, a robot, and a bunch of tiny... things.

MR. SNAKE They're clearly here for the same reason we are. The map.

WEBS They just went into the ventilation system. Clever.

JAILBREAK (Holding up Peppa's teddy) We have to beat them to it. That map is our ticket to the Wishing Star.

MR. SHARK (Adjusting his disguise-in-progress) Then we need a plan, Wolf. And fast.

MR. PIRANHA (Pounding his fists) Let's get 'em!

MR. WOLF (A predatory smile spreading across his face) Right. They want a race? They got one. We're the Bad Guys. We don't wait in line.

The group turns and moves towards a different entrance, ready to work together to get the Wishing Star Map before the heroes and allies do.

EXT. PIG CITY - DAY

NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) In the labyrinthine underbelly of Pig City, the heroes had found their path blocked by a maze of metallic pathways and a whole lot of recycled air.

INT. CENTER OF THE DUCT SYSTEM - DAY A complex, multi-directional network of metallic air ducts. The air is slightly dusty. JUSTIN (8), holding his littlest sister RITA (5), lands in the center of the system with their allies. The group, including SAM GILLMAN (7), LADYBIRD LU (3), TOOTHLESS, the Blue's Clues & You gang, ROZ and her crew, the POKÉMON, and the EMOJIS, are all loaded with backpacks.

SFX: Clang! Thud! (as they land from a previous fall/jump)

JUSTIN (To Squidgy Flashlight) Okay, Squidgy, light the way! Which way to Chef Pig’s?

SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (Tom Kenny) Right-o, Guv'nor! Let's brighten this place up!

SFX: Click! Whoosh! (flashlight turns on)

The beam from Squidgy's light cuts through the gloom. The heroes and allies look around, trying to find the specific air duct tunnel that leads to the food factory.

SIDE TABLE DRAWER (Skywalker Hughes) There are so many paths! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!

TICKETY TOCK (Maja Vujicic) Tick Tock! We're on the clock!

Satin and Chenille check a duct entrance.

SATIN (Fryda Wolff) This one smells like old socks.

CHENILLE (Fryda Wolff) Definitely not the gourmet route, sister.

Suddenly, CELEBI (Tress MacNeille), the time-traveling Pokémon, flies into the scene.

SFX: Whoosh! Twinkle!

CELEBI (Tress MacNeille) Celebi! (Translation: Over here!)

Celebi points a small, green arm towards a specific, slightly greasier-looking duct opening.

JUSTIN Good eye, Celebi! That must be it!

The group starts to move into the chosen duct.

INT. AIR DUCT TUNNEL (CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY) - DAY

The group walks single file through the narrow, echoing metal tunnel. The sounds of a distant "Night Train" style music (like the Thomas the Tank Engine theme) can be faintly heard, adding a rhythmic backdrop to their cautious movement.

SFX: (Music: Night Train from Thomas & Friends - faint in the background)

SFX: Clank, clank, clank (footsteps on metal)

Rita, a cute Jammbonian in her pink dress, is a bit scared by the dark, confined space. She huddles closer to Justin.

RITA (Kristen Li) It's spooky, Justin.

Justin holds his little sister's hand reassuringly.

JUSTIN It's okay, Rita. I've got you. We just need to find that map.

Roz and Fink lead the way with the Peep trio.

ROZ (Lupita Nyong'o) Keep a lookout for any surveillance.

FINK (Pedro Pascal) My nose is on high alert for that cheesy pig smell.

Sam Gillman, wearing his red hoodie and backward cap, reaches the first air vent cover and pushes it open slightly.

SFX: Creak! Hiss! (vent opens)

He peers down into a hallway.

SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) Peep, Chirp, Quack, check it out.

PEEP (Maxwell Uretsky) Oh my!

CHIRP (Amanda Soha) Wow!

QUACK (Jamie Watson) Great honkin’ waves!

They see a hallway, but the door at the end is enormous, meant for giants.

SAM GILLMAN Door's too big. We'd have to use a ladder just to reach the knob.

He closes the vent.

SFX: Clang!

They continue walking until they reach the second vent. Sam opens it.

SFX: Creak!

This time, the door is tiny, like a dollhouse entrance.

SAM GILLMAN And this door... is too small. We'd need to shrink ourselves.

He closes the vent with a clang. They move on.

The third vent is opened.

SFX: Creak!

The door they see is pointy and sharp-edged.

SAM GILLMAN And this door is too pointy. That’s just bad architecture.

SFX: Clang!

Finally, they reach the fourth vent. Sam opens it with anticipation.

SFX: Creak!

They all look down. Below is the busy, brightly lit kitchen area of Chef Pig's Piggy Food Factory Restaurant. There's a perfect standard-sized door labeled "Kitchen Staff Only".

SAM GILLMAN (Excitedly) Aha! This one's just right!

PEEP, CHIRP, AND QUACK (In unison) Hooray!

SFX: Happy cartoon noises

NARRATOR (V.O.) With their destination in sight, the heroes knew the race was on. The map was close, but the bad guys were surely on their tail.

The heroes and allies continue across the air duct tunnel, more determined than ever, their voices echoing their shared goal.

JUSTIN Let's move! We have to get that Wishing Star Map before Jailbreak and the others show up!

SFX: Determined footsteps quicken

They press forward into the light of the fourth vent opening.

EXT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - AIR DUCT TUNNEL - DAY

(SOUND of metallic scraping and the gentle hum of internal factory workings) The heroes are moving through a dark, cramped air duct. The only light source is the beam from Squidgy's flashlight.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) In the labyrinthine guts of Chef Pig’s domain, our heroes, a tiny, determined band of dreamers, pressed onward. Their path was linear, but the obstacles... profoundly disturbing.

Justin, holding Rita close, uses his free hand to point the way. His big backpack is stuffed tight.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) Okay team, here's the game plan: First, we sneak past the Dining Hall. (points ahead) Then, past the Kitchen. (points again) After that, the Chef's personal... "trophy collection"... (a slight shiver) and finally, the Office. Once we crack that treasure chest, the Wishing Star Map and the Star Butterfly's Colossal Amusement Park Tickets are ours! Dreams will be all ours!

Rita, her pink tutu slightly smudged with dust, giggles up at her brother. Emilia, the ragdoll, nods enthusiastically beside her.

RITA (Kristen Li) (Squeaky, cute voice) My big brother is a total genius!

EMILIA (Kristen Li) (Softly) A genius!

The allies murmur their agreement. Shovel and Pail clink together softly. Roz adjusts her large backpack, her internal gears whirring.

ROZ (Lupita Nyong'o) (Monotone) Agreement confirmed. We must stick together for maximum survival probability.

Justin approaches the first large ventilation grate, slowly and silently pushing it open a crack.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - DINING HALL - CONTINUOUS

(SOUND of loud chomping, clattering cutlery, and general cartoonish chaos)

They all peer down into a large, messy dining hall. Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and multi-colored Fripples are gorging themselves at long tables.

SQUIDGY FLASHIGHT (Tom Kenny) (Whispering harshly) Whoa, check out the clientele. Not exactly five-star dining.

Brightbill, perched on Roz’s shoulder, gasps, pointing with a tiny wing.

BRIGHTBILL (Kit Connor) (Horrified gasp) Look! That pig!

A large Green Pig is greedily devouring a cheeseburger. Peeking out from the bun are the Tiny, terrified faces of Ham-Ham Gang members (Hamtaro, Bijou, Oxnard, etc.). The Pig then grabs a large novelty cup shaped like Cuphead’s head—who is visibly GIGGLING.

GIGGLING CUPHEAD (Tru Valentino) (Giggles) Bottoms up! (Giggles continue as he’s tilted)

The Heroes and Allies are frozen in collective horror. Oddish hides his face in Paprika’s side.

SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) (Eyes wide) Okay, that’s... that’s really messed up.

CHIRP (Amanda Soha) The sheer lack of ethics!

QUACK (Jamie Watson) (Shuddering) Let's get out of here. Quickly.

Justin slowly and silently closes the vent. They move on, faster this time.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - AIR DUCT TUNNEL - MOMENTS LATER

They reach the second vent. Justin opens it a crack.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS

(SOUND of intense sizzling, chopping, blending, and screams that fade into cartoon SFX like SPLAT and SHLOOP )

The kitchen is a nightmarish assembly line. Green Pig Cookers, Smurf Cookers, Minion Cookers, and Fripple Cookers are creating "Meals A La Cartoon Characters." Slippery Soap peers down, his eyes wide with soapy horror.

SLIPPERY SOAP (Lexi Perri) (Gulp) Oh my bubbles and bladders... Skinned, boiled, sliced, tossed and fried, grated, microwaved, lobotomized, grilled, and others!

A frying pan sizzles fiercely. RUSTY SPOKES (age 12) is being flipped in it, already crispy around the edges.

RUSTY SPOKES (Diego Alexander) (Weakly) Tell my spokes I loved them... (Sizzle!)

At another station, ZACH GURDLE (age 12) is dropped into a fruit blender.

ZACH GURDLE (Jessica DiCicco) This is a misunderstanding! I’m highly allergic to this blade— (BLENDER WHIRS LOUDLY, SHLOOP SFX) ...smoothie.

LIAM HUNNICUT (age 12) is being pushed against a giant cheese grater.

LIAM HUNNICUT (Lara Jill Miller) Y'all gotta be kidding! I ain't no cheddar! (GRATING SFX)

STELLA ZHAU (age 12) is flattened on a grill, shaped into a pancake.

STELLA ZHAU (Haley Tju) This is a violation of international food prep standards! (GRILL SIZZLE SFX)

CHANDLER MCCANN (age 12) is teetering on the edge of a giant pot of soup.

CHANDLER MCCANN (Daniel DiVenere) You're not turning me into Soup A La Chandler, are you?! (He slips in with a SPLASH SFX)

A Green Pig Cooker slices veggies right into the pot with a menacing SWISH SFX. A Minion Cooker holds up a sign.

MINION COOKER (Holding sign) Hold the onions!

Nearby, a Smurf Cooker is filling a novelty mug shaped like Mugman’s head. Mugman is also GIGGLING nervously.

GIGGLING MUGMAN (Frank Todaro) (Nervous giggle) Careful with the carbonation! (Giggle)

The Heroes and Allies recoil, absolutely horrified. Even Toothless lets out a low, distressed growl.

LU (Freya Mclaughlin) (Covering her eyes) Make it stop!

MAILBOX (Doug Murray) (Voice trembling) And I thought junk mail was bad...

Justin slams the vent shut, the group breathing heavily in the dark.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - AIR DUCT TUNNEL - MOMENTS LATER They crawl faster now, driven by adrenaline and fear. They reach the third vent.

GENE MEH (Justin Rupple) (Nervous tone) The "Trophy Collection." I'm not feeling a 'meh' about this. I'm feeling a 'yikes'.

Justin opens the vent.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - TROPHY ROOM - CONTINUOUS

(SOUND of hammering and cheerful cartoon music)

They look down into a room where more Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and Fripples are cheerfully mounting the severed heads of beloved (and some obscure) cartoon characters on the wall, one by one. The Biddybuds gasp in unison.

BIDDYBUD RED (Tress MacNeille) Oh, the humanity!

The heroes, utterly repulsed, don't speak this time. They just close the vent quickly. They have to move. They can’t let the Baddies—Jailbreak, Webs, Wolf, Snake, Shark, and Piranha—get here first.

FINK (Pedro Pascal) Determined) We gotta get that map before those guys do! Let's go!

TOOTHLESS (Chris Sanders) (Roars agreement, encouragingly)

They continue crawling toward the final destination: Chef Pig’s office.

Scene 19

INT. AIR DUCT TUNNEL - DAY

[SFX: the quiet whirring sound of the air duct]

The air duct is cramped and metallic. JUSTIN, holding a small, glowing SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT, leads the large group of HEROES and ALLIES through the narrow passage. RITA is snuggled safely in Justin's arms. Everyone is laden with backpacks of various sizes.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, the hidden path! A trail less traveled by, a shortcut through the very heart of the enemy's lair. Sometimes, the most direct route isn't a straight line, but a winding, dusty old air vent.

Justin, with a determined look, uses his shoulder to push open a fourth, heavy metal vent cover.

[SFX: Grunting, a loud CLANG as the vent cover falls open onto a carpeted floor]

The heroes tumble out of the vent and into a brightly lit office. It's clearly the nerve center of the Piggy Food Factory: a large desk covered in blueprints and a swivel chair that's far too big for Chef Pig.

JUSTIN (Dusting off his shirt) We made it!

RITA (Giggling) Woohoo!

The group spreads out, relieved to be out of the cramped vent. Their eyes immediately land on a large, ornate TREASURE CHEST sitting squarely on Chef Pig's desk.

SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (Tom Kenny) (His light shines brightly on the chest) Bingo! That's gotta be it!

EMILIA (Clasping her ragdoll hands) Oh, how lucky are we!

SAM GILLMAN, Peep, Chirp, and Quack rush forward, eyeing the chest with excitement.

SAM GILLMAN (To Justin and Rita, pointing at the chest) Leaders! What's the plan? Do we open it? Do we smash it? I've got my kicking leg ready!

Justin and Rita, however, have paused. Justin pulls out a couple of small, star-shaped cookies from his backpack and hands one to Rita.

JUSTIN (Taking a bite) Hold on, Sam. We need brain food first. Can't make a plan on an empty stomach.

[SFX: Crunching sound]

RITA (Munching happily) Mmm! Wishing Star Cookies are the best!

Nearby, Squidgy Flashlight and Emilia have found a small mini-fridge and pull out cartons of milk.

SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (Sipping) Yeah, these cookies go great with a nice cold glass of... carton of milk.

EMILIA (Drinking) Agreed! A good leader always stays hydrated!

Sam rolls his eyes, then turns his attention to Ladybird Lu, who is standing with her five Biddybuds.

SAM GILLMAN Hey Lu! You've got wings, right? You should fly up and scout the office!

[SFX: Peep, Chirp, and Quack make encouraging bird noises]

LADYBIRD LU (Fluffing her pigtails) Fly? Oh, yes! I can do that! Right, Biddybuds?

The Biddybuds chirp excitedly.

RED BIDDYBUD (Tress MacNeille) Let's fly!

YELLOW BIDDYBUD (Tress MacNeille) Up, up and away! Ladybird Lu pumps her little arms and flaps her wings with great effort. She manages to hover maybe an inch off the ground for a second before dropping with a soft plop.

[SFX: WHOOSH then plop]

LADYBIRD LU (A bit deflated) Oh... I think I'm a little out of practice.

BLUE BIDDYBUD (Tress MacNeille) Maybe next time!

Sam sighs and pulls out his I-Pad. Peep, Chirp, and Quack gather around him.

SAM GILLMAN Never mind. Let's check the map.

He opens the I-Pad to a "live feed" screen. It shows a split-screen view of three muted, two-dimensional cartoon characters—SQUIDWARD TENTACLES, DONALD DUCK, and DAFFY DUCK—walking determinedly down a bright, cartoonish trail. A digital timer is counting down rapidly on the screen. [SFX: Ticking clock sound accelerates]

CHIRP (Amanda Soha) Look! They're almost there!

QUACK (Jamie Watson) They're fast! Quack, quack!

The timer hits 0:00.

[SFX: An electronic BEEP BEEP BEEP alarm sound]

A small, cartoon speaker box with Star Butterfly's face on it pops up on the screen.

STAR BUTTERFLY SPEAKER BOX (Eden Sher) (Cheery, loud voice) Time up! Thanks for playing, suckers!

[SFX: A cartoon POOF sound, then BWOOMP]

The three cartoon characters vanish from the trail screen and reappear instantly on the desk in the actual, physical office, as flat images on a large, open scrapbook page.

PEEP (Maxwell Uretsky) (Eyes wide) Woah! That's what happens when the timer runs out?

SAM GILLMAN (Putting his I-Pad away) Exactly. That wishing star map is more of a game with a time limit than a real map. We can't use it.

He turns to the assembled heroes and allies, who are all looking at him expectantly.

SAM GILLMAN (Calling out) Huddle up, everyone! Meeting time!

The large group quickly gathers around Sam. Toothless nudges in close, his tail thumping softly. Roz and her wild friends join the circle. Even Gene and Hi-5 squeeze in.

SAM GILLMAN Okay, so the map has a teleporting booby-trap timer. The tickets for Star Butterfly's amusement park are somewhere in this chest. (He gestures to the ornate chest)

SAM GILLMAN We need a real plan to get the tickets and find the wishing star. No timers, no shortcuts. We have to work together, use our brains, and do this the old-fashioned way. Teamwork!

The allies all nod in agreement, ready for the next phase of the mission. Justin and Rita finish their cookies and join the huddle, the group's collective gaze fixed on the treasure chest.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY OFFICE - DAYTIME

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) And so, the stage was set for a confrontation in the very heart of the operation: a place where dreams were crushed, and food products were... well, processed.

INT. AIR DUCT TUNNEL - CONTINUOUS

JUSTIN (8, the leader), holding his little sister RITA (5), wearing her magenta dress with a white flower and pink fluffy tutu, peers through an open vent cover. Next to them are their allies: SAM GILLMAN (7) with Peep, Chirp, and Quack, LADYBIRD LU (3) with her Biddybuds (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Pink), and TOOTHLESS. The rest of the allies, including SIDETABLE DRAWER with her ten small backpacks, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX, SATIN and CHENILLE, ROZ, FINK, BRIGHTBILL, ODDISH, PAPRIKA and CINNAMON, GENE and HI-5 MEH, and CELEBI, all wait with anticipation, their eyes fixed on the scene below.

INT. CHEF PIG'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS CHEF PIG (Nick Kroll), an imposing swine, enters the office, holding a struggling DARCY HELMANDOLLAR (5), who has been turned into a large cheeseburger.

CHEF PIG (To the cheeseburger) Not bad, not bad at all.

Chef Pig takes a massive bite out of the cheeseburger. Darcy lets out a final, muffled "last word" before being devoured.

Chef Pig belches contently. He then reaches for a can of soda and drinks from it. The can is GIGGLING MS. CHALICE (Grey DeLisle), who is still giggling.

MS. CHALICE (Giggling) Cheers! Chef Pig finishes the drink and throws the empty can aside. He moves over to a large, ornate treasure chest and opens it. Inside, the WISHING STAR MAP and a bundle of STAR BUTTERFLY'S COLOSSAL AMUSEMENT PARK TICKETS glitter.

CHEF PIG With these tickets, I'll have all the power in the universe! And with the map, the world will be mine! MINE! Suddenly, SMURFETTE (the leader), SMURMSTORM, SMURFBLOSSOM, and SMURFLILY burst into the office.

SMURFETTE Hold it right there, you porcine perpetrator!

Chef Pig quickly slams the treasure chest shut.

CHEF PIG Smurfs! How dare you interrupt my moment of villainy!

Smurfette ignores him and breaks into song.

SMURFETTE (Sings) Little Chef Pig sat in a corner Eating his ill-gotten gains. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum And said, "What a bad pig am I!"

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) A flashback begins now, showing a younger Chef Pig being booed off a stage by a crowd of cartoon characters.

YOUNG CHEF PIG (To the audience, crying) Boo! You can't do that!

Suddenly, ANGELICA PICKLES (3 1/2) appears on stage and takes over the microphone.

ANGELICA PICKLES (Sings) I've got no strings to hold me down To make me fret, or make me frown I'm a real girl, a real, smart girl...

The crowd cheers wildly for Angelica. Young Chef Pig sobs in defeat in the background.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) The pain of public humiliation would forever shape his hunger for power. The flashback concludes.

INT. CHEF PIG'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Chef Pig glares at Smurfette, still fuming from the song.

CHEF PIG I don't have magic, you little blue pests! I have resources!

He walks over to a large cage and opens the door, revealing ELIOT KID (6) trapped inside. Chef Pig pulls out a glowing, golden artifact: the Midas Touch.

ELIOT KID (Last words) Hey, wait a minute!

Chef Pig touches Eliot Kid with the Midas Touch, instantly turning him into a solid gold statue. Inside the cage, KAYTOO (6), MIMI (6), MAX (6), and LORETTA (6) watch in horror.

KAYTOO Oh no!

MIMI Eliot!

MAX He's a monster!

LORETTA (Gasping) What do we do?

CHEF PIG (To the Smurfs) Now, what should we do with your little friends here?

The Smurfs, appearing hypnotized or perhaps under a different kind of spell, open the cage door.

SMURFETTE We'll take them to the kitchen.

They grab the terrified Kaytoo, Mimi, Max, and Loretta and drag them out of the office and towards the factory kitchen.

INT. CHEF PIG'S FACTORY KITCHEN - LATER

The children are in an industrial kitchen, facing Minion cooks.

MINION COOKER #1 (To Kaytoo, with a cheese grater) Banana!

Minion Cooker #1 starts grating Kaytoo with the cheese grater. Kaytoo screams his last words.

MINION COOKER #2 (To Mimi, holding a frying pan) Poopaye!

Minion Cooker #2 cracks Mimi like an egg into the frying pan. Mimi yells her last words.

MINION COOKER #3 (To Max, pushing him onto a griller) Gelato!

Minion Cooker #3 puts Max on the griller. Max screams his last words as he's grilled.

MINION COOKER #4 (To Loretta, putting her in a blender full of fruits) Stop!

Minion Cooker #4 puts Loretta in the blender and blends her and the fruits into smoothies. Loretta screams her last words.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Back in the office, Chef Pig notices the treasure chest is empty.

CHEF PIG What?! The map! The tickets!

SMIDGE (Kevin Michael Richardson), a pop troll with a large blonde updo, pops out from behind the desk, holding the Wishing Star Map and the Star Butterfly's Colossal Amusement Park Tickets.

SMIDGE (To the heroes in the vent) Heads up, guys!

Smidge rushes to the air duct opening where Justin and the others are watching. She hands the amusement park tickets to Justin and puts the Wishing Star Map inside Sidetable Drawer.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (To Smidge) Got it safe and sound!

Suddenly, SUZIE KID (10), wearing a pink midriff shirt, purple sweatpants, and showing her belly button, appears from another entrance to the office. She's furious.

SUZIE KID You turned my brother into a statue for the last tlme, you big dummy!

Suzie swings a frying pan and connects it with a loud cartoon CLANG sound effect against Chef Pig's head.

The heroes and allies, seeing their opportunity, jump out of the air duct and land on Chef Pig's desk.

A soft, romantic MUSIC STARTS: "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton, performed by the Music Note Rotom (Pokémon) floating nearby. Justin, holding Rita, carefully puts her down. He looks up and his eyes lock with Suzie's. It's love at first sight. Smidge stands beside Suzie, looking on.

JUSTIN (To Suzie) Wow... you're... you're amazing.

SUZIE KID (Blushing) You're not so bad yourself.

Justin walks over to Suzie and Smidge, his heart pounding. He leans in and gives Suzie a kiss. It's their first kiss.

JUSTIN (After the kiss) You're officially my girlfriend.

The heroes and allies, including Toothless cooing, watch the couple with warm, cute expressions.

SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (Tom Kenny) Aw, isn't that sweet?

RITA (Clapping her hands) Yay, a couple!

BRIGHTBILL (Kit Connor) They're perfect for each other.

EXT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY OFFICE - DAYTIME

The Wishing Star Narrator (ANTONIO BANDERAS) provides a smooth, guiding voice-over.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Spanish accent) Ah, love. It is the most powerful magic of all, a guiding light as true as any star. Our little heroes, driven by the purest of hearts, found a moment to savor it, even in the heart of Pig City... unaware that darkness, too, follows its own peculiar constellation.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY OFFICE - DAYTIME

The massive office is an ostentatious mess of pork-themed decor. A large, ornate wooden desk sits center stage.

On the desk, a colorful poster for "JOURNEY TO THE WISHING STAR GAME AT STAR BUTTERFLY'S COLOSSAL AMUSEMENT PARK" is displayed.

The HEROES and ALLIES are gathered around the desk, a small army of colorful characters.

JUSTIN (8, in white and red T-shirt, holding the map, backpack on) stands with SQUIDGY (orange tub of clay). RITA (5, in pink dress and tutu) is near EMILIA (ragdoll). SAM GILLMAN (7, in red hoodie and cap) is with PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK. SUZIE KID (10, pink midriff shirt, purple pants) stands with SMIDGE (Pop Troll). ROZ (robot), FINK (fox), BRIGHTBILL (goose), TOOTHLESS (Night Fury), and all the others (SIDETABLE, TICKETY, SLIPPERY, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX, SATIN, CHENILLE, ODDISH, PAPRIKA, CINNAMON, GENE, HI-5, CELEBI) are clustered around.

They all look up at Justin and Suzie with cute, encouraging expressions.

JUSTIN (To Suzie, blushing) I... I really like your shirt, Suzie. And your belly button is really... cute.

SUZIE KID (Giggles, blushing back) Thanks, Justin!

Suzie playfully and cutely pokes her own belly button with one finger.

SFX: BOOP! (A soft, cute sound effect)

Suzie leans in, and Justin, holding the Wishing Star Map securely, leans in too. They share a sweet, innocent romantic kiss.

SFX: [MWAH!] (A cute kissing sound effect)

The other heroes and allies look on with warm, 'aww'-ing expressions.

RITA (Claps her tiny hands) Yay for love!

SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (Tom Kenny voice) Aw, isn't that just the sweetest thing? Makes my clay heart melt!

CHIRP (Amiably) They make a lovely couple.

Suddenly, the stained glass windows of the office SHATTER inwards.

SFX: [CRASH! TINKLE!] (Glass shattering sound effect)

A group of figures tumbles through the opening and lands on the desk. It's the BAD GUYS: JAILBREAK (hacker emoji, wearing a party hat and holding Peppa's teddy bear), MS. TARANTULA, MR. WOLF, MR. SNAKE, MR. SHARK, and MR. PIRANHA.

They strike menacing poses.

MR. WOLF (Grinning smoothly) Well, well, well. If it isn't the goody-goody gang.

JAILBREAK (Eyes the map in Justin's hand) Lookie here, Webs! They saved us the trouble of finding the map ourselves!

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Clicking her mandibles) Right you are, JB. Prep the hack!

The heroes and allies gasp in horror.

SFX: [GASP! (Universal cartoon gasp sound)]

QUACK (Panicked) The bad guys! They found us!

MR. SNAKE (Hissing menacingly) Give us the map, kids, and maybe we'll only eat half of you.

Jailbreak and Ms. Tarantula lunge for the map.

Justin and Rita immediately spring into action. They pull small, red-spotted SUPER MUSHROOMS from their backpacks and ingest them.

SFX: [BWEEP! BOING! (Mushroom power-up sound effect from Mario games)]

Justin and Rita GROW slightly taller and gain cartoonish, 'superhero' musculature. They become SUPER JUSTIN and SUPER RITA.

SUPER JUSTIN (Determined) Not today, you data thieves!

SUPER RITA (Jammbo-style battle cry) You leave our map alone!

They battle the hackers, using their increased size and strength to block their attempts to grab the map. Meanwhile, Suzie Kid and Smidge pull out bright orange and yellow ICE FLOWERS and use them.

SFX: [FWISH! (Ice flower power-up sound)]

They transform into ICE SUZIE KID and ICE SMIDGE, their clothes gaining an icy, crystalline texture.

ICE SUZIE KID (Aiming her hands) Time to chill out!

ICE SMIDGE (Voice by Kevin Michael Richardson, a deep, icy tone) You've just been served!

They blast the Bad Guys with a wave of ice magic.

SFX: [FWOOSH! SHHHHHH! (Icy freezing sound)]

The Bad Guys are instantly frozen solid in blocks of ice, mid-snarl. Jailbreak is frozen with a look of surprise, Peppa's teddy bear frozen to her chest.

MR. SHARK (Frozen, muffled) Everyone's a critic!

MR. WOLF (Frozen, muffled) Very funny, shark. Very funny.

Justin grabs the map again.

SUPER JUSTIN We gotta get outta here! To the Toothless-mobile! The heroes and allies scramble onto Toothless's back. Sidetable Drawer and the others climb aboard.

TOOTHLESS (Chris Sanders voice, like Stitch with dragon sounds) [Happy DRAGON ROAR!]

Toothless immediately zooms towards the open window.

SFX: [VROOOOOOM! (Whooshing sound effect as they zoom out)]

They burst out into the clear daytime sky of Pig City.

SFX: [WHOOSH!] [Upbeat chase music starts]

A moment later, back in the office, the ice around the Bad Guys begins to crack and melt.

SFX: [CRACKLE, DRIP, DRIP]

They defrost, shivering and angry.

MR. SNAKE (Hissing in rage) They got away!

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Wiping water off her eyes) Not for long! To the getaway car! We're not letting those brats beat us to that star!

The Bad Guys leap out the broken window in hot pursuit.

Scene 20

EXT. KING PIG'S CASTLE - CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY/OFFICE - DAY

(SFX: Cartoon factory sounds - whirs, clanks, whistles)

The camera pans across the macabre collection of dead cartoon characters' head trophies in Chef Pig's office, a grim display.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, the pursuit of a dream often leads one through the strangest of architectural choices. Our little heroes, armed with hope and excessive luggage, had secured the first clue. But as is often the case in these grand tales, their victory was short-lived. The hunter had become the hunted... again.

(SFX: Door creaks open)

SUPER JUSTIN (8), holding the WISHING STAR MAP, with his backpack and the ever-present SQUIDGY FLASHLIGHT (in his hand), leads the charge out of the office door. Behind him are SUPER RITA (5) with MILIA, SAM GILLMAN (7) with PEEP, CHIRP, and QUACK, ICE SUZIE KID (10) with ICE SMIDGE, and LADYBIRD LU (3) with her five BIDDYBUDS. Their allies—SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL, MAILBOX, SATIN, CHENILLE, ROZ, FINK, BRIGHTBILL, ODDISH, PAPRIKA, CINNAMON, GENE MEH, HI-5 MEH, and CELEBI—follow, all emerging from the cramped office.

They are all riding on the back of TOOTHLESS, who carefully navigates the doorway.

SUPER JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Grinning triumphantly) Alright, gang! We have the Wishing Star Map! Now nothing can stop us!

HEROES AND ALLIES (Cheers of agreement, cartoon SFX: party blower sound) Yeah! Whoo-hoo! Nothing!

(SFX: Door slams open violently behind them)

They turn in unison to see THE BAD GUYS (Jailbreak holding Peppa's Teddy and wearing her party hat, Webs, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha) emerging from the same door, looking very cross.

JAILBREAK (Mallory Low) Get them! And get that map!

MR. WOLF (Michael Godere) (Eyes the map greedily) That's our ticket to respectability... and riches!

SUPER RITA (Kristen Li) (Eyes wide with fear) Big brother! The bad guys is here!

SUPER JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Thinks fast) Quick! My backpack!

Justin pulls a bright red KOOPA SHELL from his oversized backpack. He holds it like a bowling ball, takes aim, and rolls it.

(SFX: Rolling sound, then cartoon bowling ball strike sound)

The Koopa Shell careens perfectly, knocking the Bad Guys down in a neat line like bowling pins.

HEROES AND ALLIES (In unison) STRIKE!

The Bad Guys groan in a heap. The Heroes and Allies sprint away.

INT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY - DAY

(SFX: Loud cartoon machinery)

Inside the factory, a MINION COOKER operates heavy machinery. It grabs a screaming SIERRA (6) and drops her into a giant boiling pot of water.

SIERRA (Tress MacNeille)

(Last Words)

I didn't even get to finish my art project!

(SFX: Plop sound, cartoon boiling bubble SFX)

The Heroes and Allies burst through another door and land on a moving conveyor belt full of piggy shaped food.

CHIRP (Amanda Soha) (Flapping wings) Eek! The floor is moving!

They scramble, running against the belt, then climb up a steep ramp of the conveyor belt that leads higher into the machinery.

QUACK (Jamie Watson) (Slipping slightly) Wait for the duck! The duck needs help!

They reach the top and look back to see the Bad Guys recovering and starting the chase again, scrambling up the ramp behind them.

MR. PIRANHA (Raul Ceballos) (Huffing and puffing) Why did we have to run right after getting knocked over?!

SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) They're gaining on us! Time for an upgrade!

Sam pulls a glowing orange BOOMERANG FLOWER from his backpack. He touches it and instantly transforms into BOOMERANG SAM GILLMAN.

BOOMERANG SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) (Winds up) Batter up!

He tosses the boomerang. It flies with an animated 'whoosh' sound, hitting Mr. Wolf, then magically reversing to hit Mr. Snake, then Mr. Shark, then Mr. Piranha, and finally Jailbreak and Webs, who had just climbed to the top of the ramp.

(SFX: Cartoon bopping sounds, then cartoon falling whistle)

The Bad Guys tumble backward, falling off the conveyor belt structure and landing on a conveniently placed, soft MATTRESS below.

(SFX: "Oof!" sounds, mattress spring sound)

MR. SNAKE (Chris Diamantopoulos) (Dazed) A mattress? How convenient... and annoying.

The Heroes and Allies, seeing their chance, sprint toward another door at the end of the elevated walkway.

SUPER JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) This way! To the dining hall!

They disappear through the door.

JAILBREAK (Mallory Low) (Struggling to sit up, adjusting party hat) They won't get away that easy! After them!

The Bad Guys scramble off the mattress and continue the pursuit through the door.

(SFX: Fast-paced cartoon chase music starts)

EXT. CHEF PIG'S PIGGY FOOD FACTORY DINING HALL - DAY

SOUND of clattering dishes and distant PIG OINKS

The scene is a chaotic, massive dining hall in King Pig's Castle. It's a pigsty of leftover food, grease, and general mess. Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and Fripples are scattered around, either eating sloppily or shuffling about their business.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, a meal shared amongst allies and... well, whatever these little fellows are. Our heroes, having successfully navigated Chef Pig’s dubious hospitality, were making a break for the exit, map in hand.

'SUPER JUSTIN, holding the Wishing Star Map, leads the charge on the back of the magnificent TOOTHLESS. His allies - SUPER RITA, BOOMERANG SAM GILLMAN, ICE SUZIE KID, FIRE LADYBIRD LU, ODDISH, the EMOJI BROTHERS, the BLUE'S CLUES GANG, the TROLLS, ROZ’S WILD BUNCH, and CELEBI - form a determined procession. They rush past the oblivious crowd.

SUPER JUSTIN (To Toothless) Keep going, Toothless! The exit is just ahead!

TOOTHLESS lets out a determined, low GROWL and bounds forward. SOUND of a sleek, professional vehicle screeching to a halt. Suddenly, a sleek, black van blocks the main exit. THE BAD GUYS (Jailbreak, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Ms. Tarantula) emerge, looking cool and menacing.

MR. WOLF (Grinning) Going somewhere? The buffet’s still open.

JAILBREAK (Holding Peppa's Teddy, a smirk on her face) We couldn't let you leave without a proper goodbye. Or, you know, a fight.

Super Justin signals his team.

SUPER JUSTIN Looks like we do this the hard way! Allies, to action!

The heroes and their allies activate their power-ups with a series of quick, colorful flashes (SOUND of POWER-UP ACTIVATION SOUNDS - Mario Bros 1-UP/Power-Up sounds).SUPER JUSTIN (with Super Squidgy Flashlight) squares off against JAILBREAK.

SUPER JUSTIN (To Jailbreak) You're not getting away with the map or that teddy bear!

JAILBREAK (To Super Justin) We'll see about that, kid.

SUPER RITA (with Super Emilia) takes on MR. SNAKE.

SUPER RITA (To Mr. Snake) I'll show you some real slithery moves!

MR. SNAKE (To Super Rita) (Hissing) Cute. But I'm venomous.

BOOMERANG SAM GILLMAN (with Boomerang Peep, Chirp, and Quack) faces MR. PIRANHA.

BOOMERANG SAM GILLMAN (To Mr. Piranha) Prepare for a splash of justice!

MR. PIRANHA (Flexing his tiny muscles) Come on then, fish boy!

ICE SUZIE KID (with Ice Smidge) tracks down MR. SHARK.

ICE SUZIE KID (To Mr. Shark) Time to cool you down!

MR. SHARK (Chuckles) Try me, Ice Princess!

FIRE LADYBIRD LU (with Fire Biddybuds) targets MR. WOLF.

FIRE LADYBIRD LU (To Mr. Wolf) You mess with my family, you get the fire!

MR. WOLF (To Fire Ladybird Lu) Feisty, I like it.

TOOTHLESS spots MS. TARANTULA trying to hack a nearby control panel. He pulls out a GOLF PUTTER from Sidetable Drawer's backpack. SOUND of a golf swing - WHOOSH, TINK! TOOTHLESS whacks a bouncy white marble (which looks suspiciously like a golf ball) towards Ms. Tarantula. It hits her square in the back, sending her flying with a comical YELP!

MS. TARANTULA ("WEBS") (Yelping) Right in the ol' thorax!

She tumbles and hits a large red MARBLE BUTTON on the wall. This activates the factory's safety sequence: HUNDREDS of large, colorful marbles SPILL onto the dining hall floor. SOUND of marbles rolling and clattering everywhere. The Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and Fripples immediately start slipping and falling. SOUND of chaotic slipping and SLAPSTICK FALLS - WOOP WOOP WOOP, SQUISH, OINK, BLAH! First, one Bouncy Ball (#1) hits the Muted Eds, who instantly transform into Egg Noodles with a POOF sound. Gene Meh and Hi-5 Meh are right there.

GENE MEH Hey, free lunch!

HI-5 MEH (Excited) Noodles! Yum! They start slurping the noodles.

Bouncy Ball #2 hits the Muted Powerpuff Girls (2016 designs), turning them into Popcorn.

GENE MEH Ooh, movie snacks!

HI-5 MEH Don't mind if we do! They start munching.

Bouncy Ball #3 hits the Muted Watterson Family, who transform into Water Bottles.

GENE MEH Staying hydrated is important!

HI-5 MEH (Gulping) Refreshing!

They drink the water bottles. Bouncy Ball #4 hits the Muted Girl Squad (Dee-Dee, Lee-Lee, Mee-Mee), turning them into Gumdrops.

GENE MEH (To Hi-5) You grab the red ones, I'll take the green.

HI-5 MEH Deal! They pop gumdrops into their mouths.

Finally, Bouncy Ball #5 hits BILLY from Billy & Mandy. He just lands perfectly on a picture of a CLOWN taped to a support beam.

BILLY (Giggles) Clown!

He darts off, chasing the rolling marbles, with a manic LAUGH.

SCOUTMASTER LUMPUS and MR. SLINKMAN watch the chaos from a corner table, where they were trying to enjoy a quiet, dignified meal.

SCOUTMASTER LUMPUS (To Mr. Slinkman, dreamily) Clowns... I just love clowns.

MR. SLINKMAN (Smiling sweetly) Me too, Lumpus. Me too.

LAZLO watches Billy run past, horrified.

LAZLO (Wide-eyed) Oh, no! The clowns are back! Jelly Beans!

PATSY, ever adventurous, chases after him.

PATSY (To Lazlo) Wait for me, Lazlo! I want to see the clowns too!

RAJ, CLAM, NINA, and GRETCHEN look utterly confused by the entire scene.

RAJ (To Clam) Is... is this normal for a food factory?

CLAM (Shrugs) Yes.

GRETCHEN (To Nina) I blame the Bean Scouts.

NINA (Adjusting her glasses) Statistically speaking, the probability of random cartoon physics occurring in this dimension is 47.3%.

The main heroes realize they have a chance to escape amidst the chaos.

SUPER JUSTIN (To everyone) This is our chance! Let's zoom out of here!

SOUND of powerful whooshing and running

The heroes and their allies zoom towards the exit, with the Bad Guys quickly recovering and chasing after them.

MR. WOLF (To his team) After them! Don't let them get the map!

MR. SNAKE (Hissing) They got noodle power on their side! That’s cheating!

The chase continues out of the dining hall.

Scene 21

INT. KING PIG'S CASTLE - HALLWAY - DAYTIME

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) (Smooth, adventurous tone) Our heroes had escaped the frying pan, only to find themselves running headlong into the fire. The winding hallways of the Pig King's castle, once a path to freedom, now funneled them straight into an ambush.

(SFX: Distant rumbling and clanking of war machinery)

The main group of heroes and allies spills out of the dining hall exit, a long, arched hallway stretching before them. Justin, map in hand, leads the charge.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Anxious, pointing) Okay, the map says the exit's this way! Just past the giant... whatever this is!

Suzie runs up beside him, and in a moment of pure, cinematic spontaneity, they lock eyes.

SUZIE KID (Katie Leigh) (Determined) We can do this, Justin!

(SFX: Romantic cartoon "mwah" sound)

They share a quick, romancing kiss right there in the chaos. Smidge, perched on Suzie's shoulder, winks at the "camera".

SMIDGE (Kevin Michael Richardson) (Enthusiastic) Woohoo! Get some!

(SFX: "War (What is it good for)" music starts playing, a bouncy, uptempo Rotom version)

A MUSIC NOTE ROTOM hovers nearby, cheerfully playing the iconic Edwin Starr track.

Rita, following close behind with Emilia tucked under her arm, suddenly stops dead.

RITA (Kristen Li) (Gasping, pointing) Look!

(SFX: Loud, ominous mechanical grinding and creaking)

At the far end of the hallway, massive, reinforced DOUBLE DOORS EMERGE from the wall and slide open with an intimidating SHHHNK.

Silhouetted by the light pouring in from the courtyard beyond is GENERAL EMOJI (Djimon Hounsou), his frowning faceplate an image of cold authority. Behind him, an army: Grinning GREEN PIGS ready their slingshots, disciplined SMURFS (both male and female) carry miniature cannons, MINIONS push carts of ammunition, and multicolored FRIPPLES bounce menacingly.

GENERAL EMOJI (Djimon Hounsou) (Deep, commanding voice) Capture them! No funny business!

(SFX: PANICKED SCREAMING, cartoon running sound effects)

All the heroes and allies collectively yelp in terror and turn tail, fleeing back down the hallway they just came from.

SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides) (Yelling) Incoming baddie barrage!

TOOTHLESS (Chris Sanders) (Worried roar, running with them) (ROOOOAAR?)

The Baddies fire. An assortment of items—plungers, rotten fruit, tiny cannonballs, and even live Smurfs (who land with a bounce)—fly through the air, trying and FAILING to track down the rapidly moving heroes.

(SFX: WHIZZES, BOINKS, SPLATS, and general cartoon mayhem)

A plunger heads straight for a frozen, terrified Squidgy.

SQUIDGY BINOCULARS (Tom Kenny) (Screaming) Help me, leader! I'm about to get plunged!

Justin, with surprising speed, dives and scoops up Squidgy, tucking him under his arm just as the plunger SPLATs against the wall behind them.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Relieved) Gotcha, buddy!

A flying banana peel is aimed at Emilia. Rita quickly places the ragdoll into her baby carrier, just in time.

RITA (Kristen Li) (Patting the carrier) Safe and sound, Emilia!

Peep, Chirp, and Quack are nearly squished by a rolling coconut. Sam snatches them up and secures them in his pouch.

QUACK (Jamie Watson) (Muffled from inside the pouch) It's dark in here! And smells like... teenager!

Suzie grabs Smidge and Celebi, pulling them out of the path of a net launcher. Ladybird Lu efficiently rounds up the Biddybuds, storing them temporarily in a pocket in her large backpack. Sidetable Drawer opens her drawer as Tickety Tock barely avoids a sticky bun, tumbling right inside the drawer which promptly slams shut.

(SFX: CLANG SHUT)

Slippery Soap slides across the polished floor and bumps Mailbox out of the way of an incoming pie.

MAILBOX (Doug Murray) (Dizzy) Whoa! Post office never closes!

Pail tips over and catches Shovel inside her red bucket, the handle clipping shut just as a rolling pin bounces off the outside. Roz uses her advanced robotics to efficiently gather Fink and Brightbill, securing them in compartments on her backpack.

FINK (Pedro Pascal) (Exasperated) Stinkin' pigs!

Oddish quickly wraps his leaves around Paprika and Cinnamon, keeping them out of harm's way. Satin and Chenille, using their interconnected hair like a safety net, catch Gene and Hi-5 just before they become emoji pancakes.

HI-5 (David Fynn) (Flustered) My handsomeness was nearly ruined!

The chase is full speed now.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) It was time for a quick exit. Luckily, Justin had packed a Plan B... and a Plan C... and possibly a Plan D.

They reach a clear section of the hallway near a large window. Justin whistles sharply.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) Toothless! Evacuation procedure alpha!

Toothless flares his wings, preparing for liftoff. Everyone scrambles aboard the Night Fury's back, piling on in a frantic heap.

SUZIE KID (Katie Leigh) (Struggling to hold on) Hurry!

From his massive backpack, Justin pulls out a small, red item with white spots: a SUPER SPEED MUSHROOM.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Holding the mushroom high) Full speed ahead!

(SFX: Loud cartoon POW! sound as the mushroom is used)

Toothless suddenly GLOWS with an aura of red speed lines. The dragon and his cargo ZOOM off with incredible velocity, leaving a trail of smoke and speed lines.

(SFX: Intense ZOOOOOM sound, followed by the distant SPLAT of the baddies' items hitting the wall where they used to be)

The villains skid to a halt, watching the smoke trail disappear down the corridor.

GENERAL EMOJI (Djimon Hounsou) (Fuming) They were faster than my 5G connection!

The heroes, a tangle of limbs, characters, and backpacks, disappear around a corner, the ZOOOOOM sound fading into the distance as the Rotom's "War" music continues to play.

(SFX: Fast-paced background music, cartoon running sounds, WHOOSH! sound effect)

The Hallway of King Pig's Castle is a dizzying blur of green and stone as Super Speed Toothless gallops at an incredible, impossible speed.

WISHING STAR NARRATOR (V.O.) (Antonio Banderas) Ah, to be young, in love, and fleeing for one's very life from an army of green swine and disgruntled digital symbols. The path to the Wishing Star is rarely a smooth one, but it is always... adventurous.

On Toothless’s back, the entire group is clinging on for dear life. Justin, holding the map, is in the front, holding Rita who has Emilia in her baby carrier. Sam Gillman, clutching his red cap, yells over the wind.

SAM GILLMAN (Natalie Palamides)

(Yelling)

This is even faster than the Road Runner!

(SFX: Classic "MEEP MEEP!" sound effect)

A flash of blue and purple speeds past them in the opposite direction. It’s the Road Runner, leaving a small puff of cartoon dust.

ROAD RUNNER (Paul Julian) Meep! Meep!

Suzie Kid, hair flowing behind her, grins.

SUZIE KID (Katie Leigh (Shouting) Well, Toothless is speedier than Speedy Gonzales!

(SFX: Fast running sound, tiny WHOOSH! sound effect)

A tiny, sombrero-wearing mouse blurs past them in the correct direction.

SPEEDY GONZALES (Raul Ceballos) ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!

Ladybird Lu, wings a blur, chimes in.

LADYBIRD LU (Freya Mclaughlin) (Giggling) And he’s even more of a flyer than Tweety!

(SFX: Tweet tweet! sound effect, the flutter of small wings)

A little yellow canary in a cage flies past them, miraculously keeping pace for a second before flying through a tiny crack in the wall.

TWEETY (Eric Bauza)

I tawt I taw a puddy tat! [1]

Justin, trying to look confident despite the chaos, tightens his grip on Rita.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (To Rita) See, Little Sis? General Emoji wouldn't find us, right?

Rita smiles up at her big brother.

RITA (Kristen Li) You can say that again, Big Brother!

(SFX: Heavy thud! sound effect)

General Emoji lands with a hard THUMP on Toothless’s head, glaring at them, his square face a mask of rage.

GENERAL EMOJI (Djimon Hounsou)

(Deep voice, echoing slightly)

You are non-compliant! Stop!

Justin gasps, his eyes going wide.

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) (Gasping) Uh oh!

(SFX: High-pitched, cartoon screams)

Sidetable Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, and Pail all scream in perfect sync, their eyes bulging out of their bodies in classic 2D Brandon James Scott style animation for a moment.

SIDETABLE DRAWER, TICKETY TOCK, SLIPPERY SOAP, SHOVEL, PAIL (VARIOUS) (Screaming in horror) AAAHHHH!

Celebi acts fast. With a flick of her tiny hand, she uses psychic powers to toss General Emoji off Toothless’s head.

CELEBI (Tress MacNeille) (Chirping command in Pokémon language)

(SFX: Cartoon "boing" sound, another heavy thud)

General Emoji lands square on a red button on the floor. A hidden trap door springs open.

Below them, an army of Green Pigs, Smurfs, Minions, and Fripples who were chasing the group all fall in.

VARIOUS VILLAINS (VARIOUS) (Screams of "Bello!", "Smurf!", "Bacon!", "Agh!")

(SFX: Whirring, grinding, followed by a loud "KA-BOOM!" sound, then a splattering sound)

The "Food Machine" below does its job. A geyser of bacon slices and various fruits (blueberries, bananas, cherries, lemons, limes, and grapes) explodes from the trap door opening.

Sidetable Drawer, quick on the uptake, pulls a large, glass blender from her drawer.

SIDETABLE DRAWER (Skywalker Hughes) Time for a snack!

She catches the falling bacons and fruits in the blender.

Justin and Suzie Kid then produce two straws from their backpacks and, in a moment of romantic cartoon synchronicity, stick them into the now-filled blender to share a "Fruits and Bacons Smoothie".

JUSTIN (Jesse Gervasi) To adventure!

SUZIE KID (Katie Leigh) To us!

They both take a long, satisfied drink through their straws. The rest of the heroes and allies look back at the couple, amazed at their ability to find romance (and a healthy/unhealthy snack) in the middle of a high-speed chase.

ROZ (Lupita Nyong'o) (Monotone) Efficiency achieved.

(SFX: Music swells, Toothless speeds up even more)
