Chibiverse (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

(THEME SONG PLAYING)
Way underground
We start our story
In a Disney laboratory
Super-duper confidential spot
Where a bunch of crackpot scientists
Said, "What the heck we're trying this"
And grabbed up every story
that we've got
They threw 'em all together
In a massive machine
Produced a glowing orb
About the size of a bean
Slid it underneath a microscope
and found
A bunch of cutesy characters
just futzin' around
-Futzing around
-Futzing around
They're Disney Chibis
With their own TV show
-Hilarious
-And very well rehearsed
They know the logic's murky
But who cares, they're quirky
Welcome to the Chibiverse
They're Disney Chibis
With their own TV show
So stinkin' cute
Your heart is gonna burst
Ready, set, let's go
Time for the show
Welcome to the Chibiverse!
Wait, are we sure this was a good idea?
Um
Chibiverse!
ALL: Hello, Chibis.
(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
I'm Tilly,
and this is my brother, Cricket.
I'm Anne, and this is my friendsion
from another dimension, Sprig.
And we're so excited to co-host the show
for the very first time.
Am I doing this right, Hop Pop?
You're gonna be great hosts.
I'm wishing you all good luck.
(ALL SCREAM)
(CHUCKLES)
Actually, in human theater culture,
wishing someone good luck before a show
is supposed to be bad luck.
Oh, no! Really?
Some people believe it calls on
mischief-making spirits.
So you must say "Break a leg" instead.
"Break a leg"?
That's supposed to be better?
So, grab a plate,
because you're about to be served
a veritable buffet of Chibi adventures.
Plus, we'll be ending the show
by forming the very first,
super-impressive
Chibi human pyramid!
Which technically also includes
frogs and ducks.
Whoa!
That was weird.
I wonder if this has anything to do with
Hop Pop wishing us good luck.
HOP POP: I didn't know.
There must be a logical explanation.
Doofenshmirtz, did you fire,
like, a light pollinator ray?
Dang. There goes
our only reasonable explanation.
This can't be bad luck. That's ridi
While we try to uncurse our theater,
enjoy two fun Chibi Tales
with me and Sprig.

-Huh?
Hmm?
(GASPS)
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
(SCREAMS)
Anne, I just feel awful if I have
caused bad luck during your show.
-Is there any way to fix this?
-I'm not sure.
The only other theater
superstition I know
is you're never supposed to say
the name of a certain play out loud.
Which one?
-(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)
-Macbeth?
No! Don't say it out loud!
-Say what?
-Macbeth.
Oh, no! Now I've said it.
What happens when you say "Macbeth"?
No! It's supposed to bring
(SCREAMS)
Even worse bad luck.
Wow. I didn't know
this stage had two trapdoors.
Whoa!
Make that three.
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
Mom!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS MANIACALLY)
(CHUCKLES)

(CHITTERS)
(SNIFFS)
(SCREAMING)
(HORN SOUNDS)
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)
(GULPS)
(SCREAMS)
I'm starting to worry that
all this bad luck
could affect our big,
intricate human pyramid.
Wait. I've got it.
I read up on humans,
and this is supposed to bring good luck.
A 13-leaf clover.
No! Hop Pop,
four-leaf clovers are good luck.
The number 13 is actually
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
ALL: Bad luck.
I didn't know!
(CHUCKLES)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
Phew!
(EERIE ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)
(GROWLS)
(ROARS)
(BELL TOLLING)
(PLAYING BADLY)
(SCREAMS)
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)
(GHOST IN SUIT SNARLS)
Those haunted mansion ghosts
sure can throw a party.
Wait a minute. That's it. Ghosts.
When people wish you luck
before a show,
it's supposed to call on
mischief-making ghosts.
Yo, McGee, any advice on
how to contact a ghost?
Well, I usually bribe Scratch
with a churro,
but maybe you could just
try asking for them?
ALL: Hey, spirit of the Chibi Theater!
GHOST: Who dares invoke the spirit
of the Chibi Theater?
This is about to get spooky.
Why don't we prepare by watching
some of our spookiest Chibi Tales?
Shh!
(SNORING)
Phew!
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
-(LIGHTNING STRIKES)
-(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

(SCREAMS)
(GASPS)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)
Those were so fun,
I forgot what we were talking about.
-(GHOST GROWLS)
-Oh, right! A terrifying ghost.
ALL: Scratch?
You're the ghost of the Chibi Theater?
How did I not know this?
It's just a cush part-time gig.
I do it on the down-low.
They give me
all the free popcorn I want.
Listen, Scratch,
a lot of crazy stuff has been happening,
and we're wondering, if we made
you upset, you could stop?
What would you possibly do
to make me upset?
Serve chips without guac?
Well, Hop Pop wished us good luck.
HOP POP: I didn't know!
And then,
pretty much everyone said "Macbeth."
I don't care about those superstitions.
Listen, as the official
Chibi Theater ghost,
my only rule to avoid bad luck is
no gloating at curtain call.
-Really?
-Nobody likes a show-off.
It's gross.
But if you aren't behind the things
happening around here today,
then who is?
Wait. Tiny footprints,
almost as if left by someone
who just developed their feet.
-Ah-ha!
-Polly?
You're the one behind all this?
Whoopsie doodle.
(SCREAMS)
(SNARLS)
(ANNE LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
(GRUMBLES)
(CHUCKLES)
Mmm
Hmm
(SCREAMING)
(PANTING)
(SCREAMING)
-Phew!
-(GASPS)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(LAUGHS MANIACALLY)
No!
(WHIMPERS)
Hmm?
Huh?
Ha!
Polly! We are a family.
How could you do this to us?
I'm sorry, everyone.
I was secretly jealous that
I wasn't asked to host the show, too.
So, I tried to get revenge
by making you think that
the bad luck superstition was real.
In hindsight,
I now see this was immature,
and slightly dangerous.
Polly, the Chibiverse shows are
for everyone to enjoy,
including you.
If you wanted to host the show,
you just had to ask.
-Really?
-In fact,
why don't you throw to
the final adventures,
before our big Chibi human pyramid?
(GASPS) It would be my honor.
And now, some Chibi Tales
I hold near and dear
because I'm in them.
(EXCLAIMS)
(CHUCKLES)
(GROWLS)
Oh!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
(BUCKET CHUCKLES)
Ahem!

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
And now that we fixed
all that bad luck stuff,
we're pleased to end the show
with our huge showstopper
(DRUM ROLL PLAYING)
A Chibi human pyramid!
I can't believe we pulled it off.
And without any problems!
Yes, yes, I am your pyramid king.
Your praise only makes me stronger.
Cricket, no! Remember what Scratch said.
No gloating in the Chibi Theater!
-Uh-oh.
-(ALL SCREAMING)
SPRIG: The entire stage is a trapdoor?
Chibiverse!
