Hello, kids of DingDong!
I'm Remy,
and this is my DingDong dance!
[humming]
-[panting]
-[chime notification]
Wow, I look cool!
It's been a full ten seconds,
let's see how many
likes I got so far!
Zero!
[groans] I've been posting
DingDongs all week!
Why can't I get even
a single like?
All my friends are so popular.
Hey, watch me do this.
[grunts]
[chime notification]
Ay yo, pigeon talk!
Ha ha!
-Where the crumbies at?
-[chime notification]
I ate twenty cups of barbecue
sauce for lunch today!
-[giggles]
-[chime notification]
[Remy]
Five hundred likes?
Just for being cute?
I can be cute!
Ahh
Okay, this is demeaning.
Hey, Remy! Remy!
Remy! Remy-- Oof.
Hey, Remy,
wanna come over later?
-[chime notification]
-[laughs] Cricket!
How'd you even
get up here?
Oh, you know,
I have my ways.
-My man.
-[rapid notification chimes]
[gasps] Wow!
These are all likes!
For Cricket sticking
to my window?
[kid 1] Wow, that kid
is really funny!
[kid 2] Let's get "wanna come
over later" trending!
[Remy]
DingDong dang!
Huh. Wonder why people
like this DingDong so much?
-[Cricket] Remy!
-[Remy gasps]
-Are you coming over or what?
-Yes!
Yes, I am!
Okay, great!
The DingDong
I uploaded of you
sticking to my window
is a hit!
-And it's all because of you!
-Wanna come over later?
Everyone thinks
you're hilarious!
Can you please make
more DingDongs with me?
I dunno. Why?
Well, if we make more DingDongs,
we'll get more followers.
And if we get
100,000 followers,
we'll be official DingDongers!
We'll get a little check next
to our name,
and maybe we'll even get invited
as celebrity DingDongers
to DingDong Con!
We'll be dripping with clout--
Ooh! Did you say trout?
I love me some trout.
Cricket, no, it's clout .
Trout season is coming up,
we ought to start
preparing the bait.
-No, it's not--
-[chime notification]
Oh my gosh!
We just hit our first
thousand followers! Yay!
Wow, you really like
this DingDong stuff, huh?
I don't really get the appeal,
but I do get makin' my best bud happy!
[giggles] So you'll help
me make more?
You bet your sweet buns!
Thank you, Cricket!
This is great!
Validation, here we come!
Where's Tilly going?
-Hello Gloria.
-Oh hi, Tilly.
May I please
borrow your phone,
so that I can make
my own DingDong account?
DingDong?
You mean ChitChat?
Oh, Gloria, I'm sorry,
but I don't think anyone
uses ChitChat anymore.
Kids these days
are all into DingDong.
Allow me to show you.
-Here.
-Oh, is this a vlog?
-[chime notification]
-[voice distorted] Hotdog surgeon.
Wee-oo-wee-oo!
[squelching]
His heart.
Buns
Well, it was gonna
happen one day.
Your ol' pal, Gloria,
is finally too old for the Internet.
This is yours now.
I am free.
Alright,
what're we working with?
-Ooh, stream mode.
-[chime notification]
Imma live stream the dog.
Okay, Cricket, Let's see
if we can recreate the magic.
What should I do?
-Eh.
-Uh, What's up, chicken?
-[chicken clucks]
-Ow! Mama!
And cut! And post!
[Cricket] Remy, I think she ate
one of my toes!
-Okay, okay! Remy likes the likes!
-[notifications chime]
[Cricket laughs]
Never mind! I miscounted.
With Cricket's natural appeal,
and my brand awareness,
there's no stopping us!
Hey, Cricket, how 'bout
we follow this chicken motif
-with some "that feeling whens"?
-That feelings what?
That feeling
when the weekend's over!
What does that mean? Oof!
Oh, I get it.
-It's working!
-[notifications chime]
Let's build on this.
Okay. That feeling
when mom says, "No!"
Now, is the goat my mom
or is the goat th-- Oh! Ah!
How'd that look, Reymold?
Cricket, this is great!
I've found my brand!
[notifications chime]
Hey, what's a brand?
That feeling when a goat
is driving a car.
Huh, ah! Woah! Ah!
And cut! Wow, Cricket,
you're really
bringing in the follo--
-[notification chimes]
-Oh my gosh!
-Cricket!
-Dad?
No, silly,
it's Remy! Look!
100,00 follows!
I'm verified!
[chimes]
Happy for you.
All right, Phoenix, you are being
streamed live on the internet.
Hm You should do something
cute for all your fans.
-[farts]
- Phoenix , you're gonna get us banned.
[grumbles]
Ha ha, now that
is cute stuff!
Now, let's see
what the fans think.
Oh my gosh,
no viewers?
Phoenix would be devastated
if she found out
no one was watching!
She must never know.
[sighs] Nothing like
the smell of grass
and the glow of being
an official DingDonger!
Let me just see it
one more time. [laughs]
W-w-wait! What happened?
My official check is gone!
And my follower count
is dropping!
What's going on?
"Where's the new videos?"
"Ever since they got verified,
they stopped caring!"
"No new posts, unfollowed!"
No, no, this is bad!
Cricket, get up!
The fans demand more content!
You good to make another video?
Whatever you say, buddy.
Crickey will never
let you down.
Great! Oh man, I think I have an idea
for a stunt that might double,
no, triple our follower count!
I gotta spread the word!
Hey, Big City!
Our craziest stunt yet
is gonna be filmed today
at five at the skate park!
Be there!
And posted!
-Come on, we gotta set up!
-Be right there.
[shouting in pain]
[Tilly]
Phoenix would be crushed
if she found out
she had no viewers.
I must protect her
from the truth,
with a little Tilly magic.
What was once no viewers
is now one viewer!
[clears throat]
Oh hey, Phoenix!
Your viewer
was just telling me
how much of a fan
they are of your livestream.
Why don't you say hello?
And take a big look
at how it says
one viewer at the bottom!
Phoenix, what are you doing?
You see it! You see the truth!
Oh, Phoenix, I never meant
for you to find out!
I just didn't want it
to hurt your self esteem!
But instead I have done something
absolutely despicable.
I am a worm of shame!
Shame, shame, shame, shame.
[coughs]
[Remy]
Hey, what's up, everybody!
It's your pal, Remy,
here at the Skate Park
with the people
of Big City!
[cheering]
We're all here
for my greatest stunt yet!
Allow me to introduce,
"That face when you date
the goat!"
This stunt begins
at the top of the ramp,
-with our lovely date.
-[goat bleats]
But first, you need to meet
her parents in the pit!
Then, it's a quick ollie
to dinner!
Then to the dance club zone,
but you gotta get past
the bouncer!
Then dance the night away
with these bees
we'll grind through,
All before saying, "Good night, goat,"
as you get shot in the air
and land in a pool
of medical-grade hot sauce!
-What do you think of that?
-[crowd cheers]
Oh my gosh,
can you sign my phone!
Can you endorse my brand?
Can you do a collab with me?
Hey, why do you look
so familiar?
-Are you--
-Ha ha, that's right!
-It's ya boi, Itchaboi!
-[air horns blast]
Comin' at you broke!
Cause everyone's watching DingDongs now
and not my vlogs!
-Oh, well, that's too bad.
-Listen, man!
You gotta let me
collab with you!
Your DingDongs are fire!
People love seeing idiots
get hurt.
How'd you convince that kid
to get beat up for free?
What? Cricket's fine.
I'd never do anything
to hurt him.
[wheezes] Looking good.
Feeling good.
Oh no! Have I been
pushing Cricket too far?
Though my body may
be breaking beyond repair,
I'll do whatever it takes
to make you happy, Remy.
-Oh!
-Ooh.
Oh my gosh,
I put my best friend in harm's way,
all to be verified
by strangers?
That's verifiably stupid!
I can't let him do this!
But wait! What about
all your followers?
What about the clout?
-I don't care!
-Huh.
Hey, who invited
this old guy?
[shouting]
Cricket! Call it off!
Go off? Okay, sis.
No!
-Vasquez! Upsies! Ahh!
-Remy?
Remy!
-Uh oh!
-Uh oh!
Ahh!
The sheep is biting me!
The sheep is biting me!
Hot soup! Ahh!
-[sheep baa-ing]
-[Remy screaming]
-[cow moos loudly]
-[Remy screams]
-[bees buzzing]
[Remy screaming]
Wowie-zowie.
Remy! Your soft body
ain't used to that kind of beat-em-up.
-Are you okay, man?
-[weakly] I'm sorry.
-Aw, buddy, come here.
-[Remy whimpers]
-[sizzling]
-Ow.
[Tilly] I'm sorry.
Love, Tilly.
Oh, why would you forgive me!
I've committed
the worst possible sin!
I have lied to a dog.
I shall now cast myself out.
-[sniffles]
-[Phoenix snores]
Hm? What was that, Phoenix?
-[snuffles]
-Do you mean it? Really?
-[snuffles]
-Oh my gosh, you're right!
You did have one viewer
all along!
It was me!
-[Phoenix snuffles]
-I am forgiven! [sighs]
I swear that I shall
never let the internet
soil our friendship
ever again.
[grunts] Uh, okay.
-[Phoenix snores]
-Thank you, Phoenix.
Splash me again.
-Thank you, Mrs. Green.
-Thank you for washing us, Gramma.
I'm sorry, Cricket.
I got carried away
with my desire
for online popularity.
Aw man, it's fine.
The stunt was cool,
and I'll always remember
what a chemical burn feels like!
It would've made
for a cool DingDong, though.
Yeah, but who wants to be
the type of person
that benefits from the pain
of their friends?
-[notification chime]
-BRB, phone's poppin'.
Oh wow, it's a new DingDong
from Benny!
Check out the fools!
[Cricket] Wow, it's the stunt,
he recorded it!
[Remy screaming]
-Yup, that's how it happened.
-[Remy screaming]
-Can you believe your very eyes?
-[notification chime]
-Benny's a platinum DingDonger?
-Whoa!
That's right! I sold out
my friends for fame!
Benny is a snake in the grass!
[man] You're watching
Animation Abomination!
Now back to "Kingdom of Lore"!
You'll never get away
with this, Ghost!
You think
you can defeat me?
-[gasps]
-Oh, snap!
Looks like this ghost
is gonna make us toast!
[man] Don't miss the exciting next
episode of "Kingdom of Lore"!
Wow, this show
is awesome!
I know! I've seen
all the episodes,
read al the books,
and they make
my favorite cereal!
This is the first episode
I've seen.
It makes no sense,
and I love it!
How do you think
the season will end?
I have a theory that the evil ghost
is actually the king.
Ha ha, that's cool, but
I think the main girl lady--
Princess Tarina.
Princess Tortilla,
I think it'd be cool
if she blows everything up
because she's evil now!
[explosion noises]
Brother, that would
never happen.
As someone who has seen every
episode of "Kingdom of Lore",
leave the creative ideas
to me.
[gasps]
I have good ideas!
Sometimes!
Excuse me,
but have you written 1200 pages
of "Kingdom of Lore"
fanfiction?
Well, just cause I haven't
doesn't mean I couldn't.
Oh hey,
"Kingdom of Lore".
I just got a job
working on that show.
[both]
You work on "Kingdom of Lore"?
Eh, technically I'm an intern,
so I'm not getting paid,
In fact I had to enroll
at a community college
to even qualify,
so I'm actually paying
to work there.
[both] Please, please, please
take us! Take us, Gloria!
Yeah, okay.
Wow, Gloria! I can't believe
you help make cartoons!
You must have nonstop fun!
Okay, just remember
that the creators
of "Kingdom of Lore"
are my bosses,
so don't do anything stupid.
-We won't.
-[blows raspberry]
Hey, Topher? Blaine?
Oh! I see you're wearing
your sibling shirt, again.
[both] Of course! Brothers who work
together, wear big shirt together!
Say, why don't you
introduce us to your guests?
We're Gloria's best friends!
No, no, they're--
Oh, crud, they are.
-I'm Topher!
-And I'm Blaine!
And we're the showrunners!
-[applause]
-Wow, a team of creative siblings.
-Can't relate.
-[gasps] Me?
Are you saying
I'm not creative?
Hah, Topher and I bicker
a lot, too.
But the rewards of a creative partnership
make it all worth it!
-We don't bicker!
-Yes, we do!
-That's it! Sibling shirt is coming off!
-[both grunting]
[both huff]
But hey, would you kids
like a tour of the studio?
-[kids] Yeah!
-[Topher and Blaine] Follow me!
There's a lot of steps
in making a cartoon,
but it all starts
in the writer's room!
We have writers block!
We can't come up with anything
for our big season finale!
[both]
Uh oh! Problem!
-We need to come up with an ending!
-And fast!
[gasps] Well,
I have an idea!
What if the evil Ghost
was the King from Season One?
And Princess Tarina
must fight him to reclaim her kingdom,
therefore paying off
seasons' worth of buildup
in a dramatic
and emotionally satisfying way!
That is brilliant!
But, what if it turns out
Princess Tostada
was evil the whole time!
And everything--
[explosion noises]
Explodes.
That is easy!
-How long til lunch?
-Five minutes.
We go with the easy idea.
Yay!
Get writing!
[screaming]
Good show writing, Blaine.
You too, Topher.
Wait! But what about my ending?
Hm. Cricket, could we talk
in the kitchen?
Okay!
A toast, to my brilliant ideas!
Cricket, your ending
is hot garbage.
-[spits]
-Well, it's true!
Nah, it's this weird
French soda.
It's got no flavor.
What the--
Weird. But I was also reacting
to what you said!
How could you say
it's no good!
This show means a lot to me,
and your version ruins
Tarina's whole character!
You can't sacrifice five seasons
of growth for cheap spectacle,
You've got to help me convince
them to change it back.
Huh. Sounds to me like someone
is upset that their brother
is a creative visionary.
Looks like I do have great
and awesome ideas
after all.
[deep breath]
Oh, look!
Is that screening room?
Wow, cool!
Hey, why are you so far away?
I'm gonna grab us some popcorn
and I'll be right in.
Okay, I do like popcorn.
If I wanna save "Kingdom of Lore",
I gotta act fast.
Don't write that ending!
-[all] The end!
-[man] And print!
No, Cricket's version
doesn't make any sense!
Oh, that doesn't matter.
This is animation.
We can make it as stupid
as we want.
Dang printer. And there!
The finished script,
hot off the presses.
Very hot, out of the way!
Gotta deliver the script
to the storyboard artists
so they can turn it
into a cartoon!
Hm, not without a little help.
New script, coming in hot!
Oh, this battle scene
has a thousand horses!
I have to draw
a thousand horses! Great!
Huh? Hey! Did you change
all my drawings?
[beeping]
[voice] You have 15 seconds
left to finish story board.
Never mind!
Just hit the deadline!
Hey, guys!
How's the board looking?
-[both] Eh.
-Good enough.
Success.
[laughs]
[grumbles]
Cricket?
Back off!
You back off!
My version is better!
Quit being so stubborn!
I ain't giving up
on this, Cricket!
[both shout]
-[voice] Upload complete.
-There.
My version is permanent,
now quit trying to interfere!
It's about doing
what makes sense
for the show!
My version makes sense!
Your just jealous!
Hey, kids!
Sorry to interrupt your squabble.
Blaine and I resolved
our squabble
from earlier,
so now we're
[both]
Back in the big shirt!
We're about to record
the actors for the episode,
and thought you might
wanna sit in!
[both]
Yeah! Hm.
This is our recording studio,
where the actors record voices
for their animated characters!
These talented folks
can make any sound
with their voice.
-[dolphin sound]
-[fog horn]
Wait, what happened
to your sister?
[panting]
So sorry I'm late.
Hey, something's weird here.
It looks like someone
scribbled over the script
with purple crayon?
Hm.
[both] What the--
You did a rewrite?
Now how're we supposed
to record the script?
-[both grunting]
-[Cricket clears throat]
My big brain actually thought
this might happen,
so I went ahead and printed
some spare copies!
The good version
may proceed!
Ha-Cricket wins again!
[sighs]
Guess that's it, then.
The Cricket ending
is getting made
and I'll watch reruns of it
for the rest of my life.
[shudders]
No.
There's gotta be a way
I can stop this.
Gloria! What else
needs to be done
before the episode
of animation is completed?
Well I've gotta collect art
from every department on this list, so--
-[Tilly] Yoink!
-Or you could do it.
I just gotta steal the art
from each of these people.
The designers
are the ones who decide
how attractive
the characters are.
-Wow, looking good, you two.
-[both] We know.
The painters choose
the colors of every scene!
-Huh, looks weird.
-I'm not done yet!
The editor and timer.
They make sure everything
in the episode moves
at precisely the right time.
Keep up the good work!
[both]
Thank You.
Goodbye, Cricket ending!
Hey, thanks for grabbing
this for me!
-Dang it!
-Next, we ship all our materials
to our overseas
animation studio!
Overseas? That sounds
pretty normal.
Well
[drum beating]
[crowd]
Make it move! Make it move!
Huh, making cartoons
is way weirder
-than I though it'd be.
-[both] You know it.
I will now send this story
and all its artwork overseas,
where they will be combined
into a cartoon.
-[Tilly blows]
-[both] Ah! Production delay!
Dang it, Tilly!
We're making that episode!
-Hi-ya!
-[Tilly grunts]
-[loud crash]
-[horn blows]
-[speaking in Korean]
-[group cheers]
You just won't give up,
will you?
Not until you see
the erroneous nature of your misdeeds!
How dare you,
and could you repeat that
cause I didn't understand.
Okay, guys, break it up.
And Tilly, you can relax.
Nothing's set in stone
until we get the final
approval of the head studio executive.
-[incoming whistle]
-Oh no! I forgot to set the net!
-Everyone scatter!
-[screaming and loud bang]
[Cricket] Whoa, the episode's
already done?
That was lightening fast!
That's animation for ya.
When are the execs
supposed to arrive?
[incoming whistle and crash]
Hi. I'm Ed Secutive,
and I'm here
to watch a cartoon.
Ed Secutive, sir!
Very excited to show you
the new episode, sir!
It's a real zinger.
I'll be the judge of that.
[groans]
Uh oh! Looks like things
are getting boomy!
Yes! I'm a bad guy now!
[cackling]
-[explosion]
-[end credits]
-I love it.
-So, it's approved?
It will be once I finish
This Senten--
Wait!
This can't be the ending.
Tarina would never
turn evil for nothing!
It doesn't make sense
for her character.
So I'm asking you once again
to please reconsider my ending.
[clapping] Yes, yes!
Now that's what I call passion.
I need more of that,
And less "Yes" men.
[both]
Sir, yes, sir!
Topher, Blaine,
scrap this
and get to work
on changing that ending.
-Yes, sir! Right away, sir!
-[phone ringing]
Yes? Work, work.
Work, work, work, yes.
Well, guess we got
an ending to rewrite.
At the end of the day,
all that matters
is that I get to have fun
working with my brother.
-Sibling shirt?
-[gasps]
Mend it, don't end it!
A team of creative siblings.
Mr. Secutive? I don't think this ending
is a complete loss.
Maybe we can keep a couple of--
[explosion noises]
For good measure?
Ha! Yes, yes!
You're full of great ideas.
Well actually, those suggestions
are from my creative partner,
-Cricket Green.
-[Cricket squeals]
Creative partner?
We have some ideas
that we'd like
to pitch you. Together.
I'm intrigued.
Let's talk it out over lunch.
I'm starved
[beeping and sparking]
[both]
Sure thing!
Foolish mortal!
Don't you realize
I'm not just an evil ghost?
I am the King! Your father!
You may be my father,
but I'm about to become
an orphan!
-[explosion]
-[end credits]
That's our ending!
On TV!
And because we put
our big brains together and collaborated,
we were able to come up
with an ending
that has something
for everyone!
Now let's see what the fans
on the internet think!
