ReWiggled 2: A Magical Sing-Along Adventure

ReWiggled 2: A Magical Sing-Along Adventure (originally titled A Shanghai Disneyland Adventure prior to March 2022) is a 2023 Warner Bros.

== Title screen gag==
As with all other episodes made as part of the 'Trip to America' story arc (except the first three episodes of the arc (and the epilogue), which use the regular Simpsons opening instead), the special opening starts with the yellow text in the sky. A few seconds later, Tickety pops up from inside the 'O' in 'SIMPSONS' and says "Hi, everyone! Today on America, we're going to (insert destination here). Come join us!". Then the camera zooms through the P directly into the beginning of the episode.
== Blue's Room segment==
While everyone else is busy singing and dancing to the We Did It song, Blue, Rainbow Puppy, Sprinkles, Tickety Tock, Shelly the Snail, Oscar the Octopus, and Sammy the Seahorse set up their own mini sing-along show at the playroom - with 3 songs.
== Cold open ==
Myrtle has Finny guess today's theme of Disneyland, giving hints from a 1960s picture of the Californian theme park itself.
== Trivia==
* Even though the Mousekedoer Song is not sung in this short, Toodles already has Mouseketools (5 of them).
* The storyline of the pawprint playing Blue's Clues with Marge and her friends is a reference to what happened in the Blue's Clues fanmade episode Our Appreciation Ceremony. The pawprint also gains a face (in a similar way to Toodles in Happy Birthday Toodles) after the first clue is drawn.
* The sing-along show portion of the short is also shown live as The Muppets Take Disneyland. In addition, some versions of the standalone sing-along show portion (like on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the Nick Jr. channel) include several pre-recorded segments that serve as introductions to the songs, and Nickelodeon and the Nick Jr. channel's versions have a bumper with Nickelodeon's jingle The Nick Mnemonic.
** The sing-along show portion is sponsored by letters and numbers, just like in Sesame Street.
** An Ernie and Bert sketch (Ernie Plays His Drums) is also used.
** A classic Sesame Street animated sketch from 1974 (What If - Ping-Pong Balls) serves as a transitional sketch between Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?) and Say What I Say.
** An extended version of the current Sesame Street closing theme (Smarter, Stronger, Kinder) plays as the fourth song in the closing credits.
* A lot of voiceovers from Blue's Clues and Blue's Clues & You are used in this short. For example, when Shelly sees the pawprint bouncing on him, the "It's a clue!" voiceover from The Fairy Tale Ball is heard, causing Shelly to notice that the bouncing motion that the pawprint made is the third clue.
* This is one of the few episodes to use a version of I Have a Pet (titled I Have a Friend) as an alternate theme song. It accompanies a new opening where Shelly introduces his friends (the featured characters in today's adventure) while on his way to the living room to watch TV with the Simpsons (which sometimes segues into the couch gag). The arrangement that is later used starting with the March 2023 short Shelly's Zoo also serves as a closing credits theme.
* The arrangements for We Just Got a Letter and the So Long Song are updated to their Blue's Big City Adventure versions. The Barbershop Chorus part in the Mailtime song also comes from the same movie.
* Like in Joe's Surprise Party, the short doesn't feature how to draw the clues (the characters show the clues after they draw them).
* It's revealed that Let's Get Together is originally written by Sammy the Seahorse and Chloe the Crab.
* The short 'Wait, wait, wait' song from Patience and Blue's Big Car Trip returns again. This time, it is sung on the queue to Pirates of the Caribbean, and I Spy is being played during the waiting time.
* This is the first short where Sandy the Starfish cooks. This is later shown in the new Finny the Shark version of the song 'What Do You Like To Do?'.
* The 2022 short The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in Feliz Navidad serves as a teaser for this short. But unlike in the aforementioned Simpsons short where the entire Bocelli family sings Feliz Navidad with the Simpson family at the Simpsons house, only Virginia Bocelli sings the song with Shelly the Snail, Oscar the Octopus, and Speedy Gonzales in the Sing-Along Show at Disneyland. As a result, the Looney Tunes Kwazy Christmas version of the song is used, replacing Daffy Duck's vocals with new vocals by Virginia, Shelly the Snail, and Oscar the Octopus.
* This is the one of the few shorts to be part of Sesame Street's playful problem solving curriculum; hence the mantra 'I wonder, what if, let's try!' being said in the scene where Chloe the Crab and Mr. Salt try to reopen It's a Small World earlier for their friends.
* The Second Star to the Right makes a cameo appearance as the closing shot of the short when the camera pans up from Disneyland up into the night sky.
* This is the first time Alina Tysoe voices Maggie Simpson.
* The 1993 music video for A New Way to Walk is reused once again, but this time the guest star footage is replaced by Finny and her friends (along with the Blue's Clues gang) dancing and singing along to the song onstage.
* This is the first short to use Alex Geringas' arrangement of the So Long Song.
* The international dubs of this short either replace the Sesame Street theme song with the theme song from that co-production or sometimes dub the regular Sesame Street theme in their respective languages, but the harmonica version of the Sesame Street theme (that plays during a scene homaging that of the 1977 Sesame Street album Signs) stays intact.
** In the German dub of the short, Shelly the Snail is replaced by Finchen, with scenes reanimated to include her.
** In the Dutch dub of the short, there's a version of the Sesamstraat theme song with the children’s vocals from the 2013-present rendition and the 1982 lyrics. Also scenes featuring Big Bird are re-filmed to replace him with Pino.
** In the UK dub, all the animated Blue's Clues/Blue's Clues & You characters (except for Blue, Tickety Tock, and Rainbow Puppy) are voiced by Kara Triton, like in the UK version of Blue's Clues. In addition, Kevin (wearing a blue-striped shirt) takes over Marge's role in playing Blue's Clues itself.
*** The same dub also has Sidetable giving Kevin a new notebook (which is the same notebook/phone that Josh uses in Blue's Clues & You).
*** In the same dub, the P.T. Walkley arrangement of The Farewell Song is used.
* This is the final cartoon short to use the 2019 DreamWorks Animation logo.
* Most of the songs from the short also appear in the Wonderful World of Disney soundtrack album of the same name, along with the Merry-Go-Round Broke Down opening rendition, the score for the Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a Fantasyland dark ride suite (consisting of audio from Pinocchio's Daring Journey, Peter Pan's Flight, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and Alice in Wonderland); this means When You Wish Upon a Star is heard twice in the album, first as an underscore and later as a version sung by Sandy the Starfish), The Chase (from The Wiggles Movie), which in the episode proper, it plays during a montage when Marge, Mayor Mare, Tickety Tock, Fred the Fox, Oscar the Octopus, Sammy the Seahorse, Chloe the Crab, Myrtle the Turtle, Fiona the Fish, Rainbow Puppy, and Bubbles are chasing the 3rd clue around the Funhouse (which is bouncing) (the montage has reused animation from The Curse of Galaxy's Edge), Walter Murphy's A Fifth of Beethoven, which is the Thinking Time segment music (in the episode proper, the first clue is accompanied by drums, the second clue is accompanied by a synth guitar, and the third clue is accompanied by an orchestra), Michael Giacchino's score for Space Mountain (which plays out after the song Rocket), the Wiggles' backing track for The Ants Go Marching, and the recording of Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?) from Fun and Games with Dr. Fox. In 2024, a lower-pitch version of the short's own backing track for The Ants Go Marching by Zachary Marsh is used for a crab-centric version of the same song.
* According to an official D23 article, this short is a remake of An Adventure in the Magic Kingdom (1958), featuring updated colorized versions of the same shots as the TV episode, Tinkerbell sprinkling fairy dust on the screen to take the viewers along on the gang's journey, and the themed lands to go are in the same order as in the episode itself (though the Holidayland scene is replaced by a new scene centered in Disney California Adventure and Star Wars Land is added between Frontierland and Tomorrowland).
* There are several references in this short:
** The performance of Swingin' Up to the Stars resembles its A Splash Party, Please performance, with Sandy the Starfish singing the song solo on a swing.
** Starlight Glimmer's interest in kites is brought up again, during the song "My Kite".
** Like in Noisy, Come Home, Octavia Melody's reactions to the sound of the yovidaphone referenced a scene in A Horse-Shoe In.
** The radio that plays the backing track for Whenever I Hear This Music is the same radio from I'm So Happy.
** The song Being Together ends in G# Major, just like in its first five Barney appearances, A Disneyland Paris Sing-Along Spectacular, Dr. Fox & Unikitty and a Musical Too 2, Flight of the Instrument Fairies 2, The Girl from W.E.A.T.H.E.R., and Super Snail.
** During The Pinkie Pie Hop, Pinkie Pie wear her Grand Galloping Gala outfit from Suited for Success and The Best Night Ever.
** Chicken Boo is shown disguised as Leo the Lionfish, just like in Lights! Camera! Bali!.
** In a similar gag to that in Fish Scout Finny, as everyone begins their Disneyland journey, Shelly is just too slow to keep up with them as he crawls towards the slide to Disneyland (he has to crawl all the way through the slide in order to follow everyone else to Disneyland), and he also arrives late (most of the time) when everyone starts to leave a particular location in the park. Shelly DID help the gang by catching (and finding) the third clue in the Funhouse and also spoke to the viewer in a scene where he tries to read Disneyland's dedication (in that scene, Shelly's pupils are shaped like sliced pies, a homage to how animated characters are sometimes drawn with eyes or pupils that were black and circular, but shaped like a pie that's had one slice removed from it, with the missing slice being an oversimplified representation of a radial light reflection; this is the third time Shelly's pupils are pie-eyed, with the first two being Super Snail and Octopus Boy's Day Out (it happened in the scenes where Shelly and Oscar end up in rooms of the Haunted Mansion themed to the 50s and 60s) and The Mysterious Reality of Madness (it happened inside all of Maggie's dreams) (Shelly's pie-eyed pupils would be used once more in Shelly's Zoo).
** The version of One of These Things in the short resembles that of The Sesame Street Book & Record, since the items used are coconuts and a rubber ducky.
** A Dot Bridge segment (the one where the dots and squares co-operate) is shown as part of the sing-along show portion. Since Wake Up Pail is next, the dots and squares hear Pail's snoring as they make a rotating circular pattern and suddenly run away.
** The I Just Can't Wait musical number is given an extended treatment (although a version with Mama Shark and Papa Shark singing the original lyrics is in the album), with new verses about what Papa Shark wants to see in Disneyland. Additionally, the extended version's music video parodies Yakko's World, with Papa Shark pointing to all the stuff he mentions in the song while dancing in front of a Disneyland map.
