I never want this party to end!
Hi!
Oh, never mind. This is way better.
Oh, boy, it's morning
and I am so awake!
Yo, little bro, it's bedtime. You need to be asleep!
Oh, no! It is?
But how am I supposed to fall asleep if I'm awake?
I know a couple of moves that can put people to sleep.
Mm.
Or I could tell you a bedtime story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I love stories. Tell me a story from my favorite movie...
Escape from Explosion Island!
Yes, I love that movie.
I've got something even better for you, bro.
Fairy tales!
A fairy what?
Watch, I can open to any random page,
and it'll be filled with fairy tale excitement!
"Little Red Riding Hood approached the Big Bad Wolf."
A wolf? Is she going to karate it?
Flamethrower it? Feed it to a dinosaur?
Even better.
"She said to the wolf,
'Grandma, what big eyes you have.'"
She thinks the wolf's her grandma?
He's wearing a little bonnet and glasses.
His story's airtight.
I don't know...
Awkward.
Maybe this one's not the best example.
Ooh! Now this one's exciting.
"Goldilocks entered the home of the three bears..."
Bears? Is she gonna fight 'em with bear trap nunchucks?
Blast them into space?
Even better.
"Goldilocks took a taste of the first porridge
and thought it was too hot."
What? She just eats porridge?
It gets cooler.
Later, she sits in chairs.
Finding a chair with good lumbar support's
an adventure in and of itself.
This is so lame.
Now I can't fall asleep
because I'm awake and bored!
Oh. Let me try one more. Ooh!
"Hansel and Gretel entered the witch's house..."
Sounds promising...
"And the witch said to Hansel,
'Will you help me clean my oven?'"
-Come on! -That's it?
I spent all day calibrating my protractors
and even I was bored!
Yeah, you're right, these are really boring.
If this was Escape From Explosion Island,
there would have been three blimp explosions
and a robot war by now.
And a dragon that breathes missiles...
And the robots are like, "We are your overlords now."
-Pew, pew, pew! -And the alien mothership warps in
and is taken out by anti-aircraft guns!
Yeah, I think these old fairy tales
could use a few more thrills.
Wish we were the ones in these stories.
Then we could tell the perfect bedtime story
and put Puppycorn to bed!
Doctor Fox.
Do you have a random invention that could help us?
- Nope. - Huh?
Nah, I'm just kidding, I got something.
Behold! The Book-otronic Literizer 8000!
We can use this to teleport ourselves into the book
and literally become part of the story!
Wow! This is perfect for this particular situation.
But why did you invent this?
I like to teleport into cookbooks when I'm hungry.
Yum.
You are an actual genius.
Heh, I didn't want to say it...
Now let's get into this book!
Little bro, you stay here and turn the pages.
And once you turn to the very last page,
we'll pop back out!
Wow, thanks, guys!
Ooh! See if you can work in
a dragon that breathes missiles somewhere, okay?
We'll try, little bro, we'll try.
Beam us in, Dr. Fox!
-Wow, it worked! -Whoa!
We're in.
Oh, look.
There's Little Red Riding Hood.
Grandma, what big eyes you have.
All the better to see you with, dearie.
Oh, come on.
Seriously, the eyes?
What about the fur? Or the teeth?
Or the claws?
I don't know, guys. She's got a bonnet and little glasses.
That's classic grandma.
Ugh! At this rate she's gonna take forever!
We gotta do something!
Hey, fake grandma,
get away from that super-oblivious girl!
Fake?
No, no.
I'm the real deal.
I love children for breakfast.
I mean oatmeal!
She talks the talk...
It's a wolf! Come on, kid,
can't you tell a wolf from your own grandmother?
We're estranged.
That's it. We're taking this grandma down!
How about some hard candies!
Aw, looks like grandma forgot to put her dentures in!
Ooh!
Even though I'm not entirely convinced you're not a grandma,
let me spin a yarn for you!
Time to fight old people with old people!
I'm not old, I'm just monotone--
Oh, my!
Grandma,
what a heavy bottom you have.
Violence and barfing?
Now this is my kind of bedtime story!
You feeling sleepy yet, little bro?
Kinda.
But I also want to turn the page and see what happens next.
It's too hot.
Goldilocks?
Oh, we definitely need to make this story more fun.
Come on, guys.
Aw, this porridge is too cold.
Hey! Lose the porridge, Goldie,
this is supposed to be a story!
Yeah, you gotta pep things up a bit.
Follow our lead, Goldie...
Yo! I found a mechanical bull!
Now we're talking!
And everybody partied
happily ever after.
Hmm...
Aw, yeah, this story is sick!
I'm never eating porridge again!
All right,
another story yanked out of boring town!
One more, one more!
Oh, man, that party was just right.
Hey! What did you do to our house?
It wasn't me! It was a unicorn cat, a hawk crocodile,
a smart fox and a rectangle.
Get her!
All right, kiddos,
now just clean out my oven
and I'll give you more candy.
Okay, nice old lady!
Those poor unsuspecting kids.
She's gonna make them clean an oven!
Kids! Stay away from that oven!
- Oh? - But she gave us
some marzipan.
That's no reason to go in an oven.
But she gave us some caramels.
Go take a barbecue sauce bath
before dinner while I talk to these nice visitors.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Why must you whippersnappers
interrupt a nice old lady's dinner?
An old lady with books titled
Evil Spells and Kid Casseroles?
Okay, fine. I'm a witch
and I'm gonna eat these kids for dinner!
A witch? Get 'em, sis!
All right, granny!
Maybe this will make the story more interesting.
Uh... Frogmorphicus!
Now, you two, go home.
And don't clean any more ovens!
Okay. Whatever you say.
I can't believe this whole house is made of candy.
I say we eat it
to teach that mean old witch a lesson!
-Yeah, makes sense to me. -Good call!
I shall have my vengeance!
Nice, sis!
These stories are way better than the originals.
Wow. Bears,
what happened to your house?
Goldie over here says
some blocky square-shaped maniacs
came in and ruined our usual story.
This chair feels just right...
But the ropes feel a little tight.
-Quiet! -Those hooligans
ruined my story, too!
It's not just you.
They're ruining all the stories!
Witch? You look terrible!
Speak for yourself, Big Bad.
They're ruining the whole book!
Now, come on, we gotta kick those fairy tale fakers
out of here!
Oh. I'm stuck.
Now that's what I call a satisfying story.
All right, guys, let's finish this fairy tale
and let Puppycorn go to sleep.
The only thing that's finished around here
is you!
Vengeance is mine!
Run away!
Get out of our stories,
they were fine the way they were!
No, they were weird and boring!
Guys, defend our radical, better stories!
Oh.
-It's so hot! -It's so cold!
I hate porridge!
Yeah! Take that! Take that! Ribbit!
All right, come on now.
-In you go. -Curse you! Curse you!
I'm not gonna let you lunatics
ruin our wholesome fairy tales!
You were eating grandmas!
They're classics!
Dr. Fox, can you get us out of here?
Way ahead of you.
Everyone jump on!
Huh?
Okay, that hurt.
Quick, get inside!
I know you're in there!
We're trapped!
You hear the one about the three little piggies?
They didn't want to let me in either.
So I huffed...
He's gonna blow the house down!
And I puffed...
Guys, I have an idea, hurry!
And I blew the house down!
Huh?
Oh, what a nice young man
to open the door for us old grandmas.
Oh, we're just gonna go to the store
and buy some, uh, orthopedic shoes.
Eat your veggies.
You want to be tall like your brother, don't you?
We're old.
Oh, well, pardon me, grandmas.
I was just looking for some intruders.
Oh, that's nice.
We're old.
We did it!
I can't believe that worked!
And there weren't even any explosions or huge battles!
Just good old fashioned fairy tale trickery.
It's a shame we couldn't work in
that missile-breathing dragon for Puppycorn.
Uh, Princess...
Puppycorn, get us out of here!
Puppycorn! Puppycorn?
Puppycorn!
