==Synopsis==
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are working in an theater during the opening of an film called Kids The Movie. During the opening, Peg-Leg Pete will not shut up or be quiet during its premiere and refuses to leave the theater, also deciding to take it the mildy hard way.
==Plot==
At a premiere for a film called Kids The Movie (centering around three trouble-making kids), Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are shown selling popcorn and juice and getting movie tickets from various people. One of those people are revealed to be Peg-Leg Pete, as Mickey, Donald, and Goofy do not notice this as Pete is dressed as a woman. When he enters the room where the film is shown, he takes off his lady clothes and puts on his regular clothes and snatches popcorn from a kid and sits down.
When the opening shows a funny scene of a kid losing in a game and then smashing his TV, Pete laughs for 30 seconds while the audience tell him to shush. Mickey hears this and tells Pete (whom he is shocked) to quiet down. Mickey, not noticing that Pete was disguised as the woman), reminds Pete that he did not check up an appointment to watch the movie and decides to kick Pete out. Pete resists and exits the room running in the theater throwing juice cups at people and sneezing in their bought popcorn.
Donald and Goofy, along with Mickey, witness this and try to stop Pete before getting a tsunami of popcorn thrown on them. Pete crazily goes into an late screening for Fantasia and breaks the screen with people throwing popcorn and juice at him. The guards notice this and warn the manager Jace Olyle (brother of Pete Olyle, director of the Oswald film), in which Jace threatens to fire Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Pete, still refusing to exit the theater consumes every popcorn in the theater and hops on many of the guards heads, as well as ripping the theaters walls and setting up floorboard traps. 
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy catch him in a net and it is an success, making Pete banned from the theater for an decade. However, due to Pete's crazy mass destruction, it causes the theater to collapse to the ground with Jace yelling out Mickey, Donald, and Goofy's name very angrily, with them knowing that they are fired. The next and final scene includes Mickey, Donald, and Goofy getting fired, Pete going to jail for four years, and Disney News reporter Andrea Mitchell reporting the destruction of the theater with Jace saying that it'll take 7 years to rebuild the theater, "sadly."
A post-credits scene includes Pete laughing in jail, saying that he'll destroy another theater once he's released, with an confused prisoner also laughing with him.
