I heard what you d-d-did at the recording studio.
And I just wanted to say "Thank you.
" Ah! Ugh! It's not your fault that they make you make me sound so st-st-st-stupid.
You tried to fix that.
But now, I realize that we're both just cogs in the Hollywood machine.
I hope you can forgive your old friend, B-B-B-Bubba the Bear! [BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[TINK! TINK!.]

What's wrong with Daddy? Daddy's having a bad day, Ray.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's all.
[CHUCKLES.]
Just a bad day that Daddy's having.
Go play, son.
Go play in your room.
Why are you doing this? Bubba the Bear is real.
And he's trying to kill us.
I believe you, Noble.
I'm gonna go check on Ray.
[CRASH! CLATTER!.]
[SQUEAKING.]
[SQUEAKING STOPS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
You sure got a pretty wife.
You leave my wife out of this! She looks frustrated, though.
Are you not giving her the big O? I make her climax all the time! [CHUCKLES.]
No, you don't.
She's a worse actor than you are! Oh, oh, oooh.
[LAUGHS.]
You shut up! I am a good actor! I'll bend her over and give it to her good.
Not like you.
Not the doggie style.
Bear back.
B-B-B-Bubba style! Stay away from my family! Oh, too bad you're not a better father.
All your son wants is someone to play with.
If you touch my son, I will kill you.
Hey, honey, what's up? [INSECTS CHIRPING.]
I'm taking Ray, and we're leaving.
- Okay, good.
Good.

[GROANING, GRUNTING.]
[RIPPING, SQUISHING.]

Look what you made me do.
- [GASPS.]
- You're the official Bubba? [GRUNTS.]
No, no.
I created you! You were nobody before me.
Shut up! Shut up! Your family left you 'cause they're smart.
Nobody loves you.
- They know what a fraud you really are! - Shut up! [GRUNTING.]
[SHINK! SNICK!.]
Go ahead.
I'm already dead! I was a bear, god damn it, and you made me into some kind of joke! I told you, shut up! [PLOINK!.]

This means the world to me.
- Well, you didn't get the part yet.
- Oh, I will.
[CHUCKLES.]
[DEEP VOICE.]
Barnabas Bibbit blows brittle bubbles in the Oh, my God, just do it! Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[AS BUBBA.]
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say? I'm B-B-B-Bubba the Bear! Holy crap, that's it.
[CHUCKLES.]
We've found our Bubba the Bear.
[NORMAL VOICE.]
Yep.
[CHUCKLES.]
Um, this is gonna change my life.
[BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!.]
[KA-BOOM!.]
Mr.
Armstrong Put that laughing gas d-down! - Owww! - You have to take your medication.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- [DUCKS QUACKING.]
[LAUGHING.]
I'm still mad at you.
[LAUGHS.]
- [DUCK QUACKING.]
- [LAUGHS.]
B-B-B-Bubba B-Bubba the Bear You know, I've made a lot of movies and stuff, but it was the first time I tried to tell something in a half an hour.
Would you like to meet the real Bubba the Bear?! ALL: Yeah! You know, I didn't know if it was gonna work.
Ta-da! Huh, tough crowd.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What were you thinking when we shot "Bubba"? What was the style? STONESIFER: Well, I was really excited that G thought we could mix "Roger the Rabbit" with - "Cape Fear"? - "Cape Fear".
When we have the camera go all the way around In full 360.
Scorsese did a lot of that in his remake of "Cape Fear".
Yeah.
We were also, for some of the night stuff, trying to do some stacked lighting that had some multiple color shifts to it.
We first framed up the shot with Alexie at the garage door, and she hears Bubba.
The shadow cuts right across her eye.
And I'm like, "Bradley! Aren't you watching a monitor?" No, and I love it.
It looks so great.
There was so much of a testing, learning curve, consulting the animators And we'd have, like, all these ideas, like when Bubba's fingernail goes up Seth's nose I think it's a coat hanger, right? It's a coat hanger with a little bit of epoxy on the end - Right, so it doesn't rip his skin off - So we didn't rip his nose out.
I try hopefully there has to be a subtext where it's about something.
They know what a fraud you really are! Which is funny because, Bubba realized until I was finished, it was just me dealing with this persona that I've had for years that I can't get rid of.
It will probably kill me.
[CARTOON-STYLE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[DUCKS QUACKING.]

I heard what you d-d-did at the recording studio.
And I just wanted to say "Thank you.
" Ah! Ugh! It's not your fault that they make you make me sound so st-st-st-stupid.
You tried to fix that.
But now, I realize that we're both just cogs in the Hollywood machine.
I hope you can forgive your old friend, B-B-B-Bubba the Bear! [BIRDS CHIRPING.]

No, you don't.
She's a worse actor than you are! Oh, oh, oooh.

You shut up! I am a good actor! I'll bend her over and give it to her good.
Not like you.
Not the doggie style.
Bear back.

[LAUGHS.]
- [DUCK QUACKING.]
- [LAUGHS.]
B-B-B-Bubba B-Bubba the Bear You know, I've made a lot of movies and stuff, but it was the first time I tried to tell something in a half an hour.
Would you like to meet the real Bubba the Bear?! ALL: Yeah! You know, I didn't know if it was gonna work.
Ta-da! Huh, tough crowd.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What were you thinking when we shot "Bubba"? What was the style? STONESIFER: Well, I was really excited that G thought we could mix "Roger the Rabbit" with - "Cape Fear"? - "Cape Fear".
When we have the camera go all the way around In full 360.
Scorsese did a lot of that in his remake of "Cape Fear".
Yeah.
We were also, for some of the night stuff, trying to do some stacked lighting that had some multiple color shifts to it.
We first framed up the shot with Alexie at the garage door, and she hears Bubba.
The shadow cuts right across her eye.
And I'm like, "Bradley! Aren't you watching a monitor?" No, and I love it.
It looks so great.
There was so much of a testing, learning curve, consulting the animators And we'd have, like, all these ideas, like when Bubba's fingernail goes up Seth's nose I think it's a coat hanger, right? It's a coat hanger with a little bit of epoxy on the end - Right, so it doesn't rip his skin off - So we didn't rip his nose out.
I try hopefully there has to be a subtext where it's about something.
They know what a fraud you really are! Which is funny because, Bubba realized until I was finished, it was just me dealing with this persona that I've had for years that I can't get rid of.
It will probably kill me.
