The Rock-afire Explosion Movie (Johnsonverse)

The Rock-afire Explosion Movie is a 2021 American animated musical film directed by Aaron Fechter and written by Fechter, Burt "Sal" Wilson, Tim and Chloe Johnson, based on the titular band by Fechter Creative Engineering. The film stars Fechter, Wilson, Duke Chauppetta, Rick Bailey, Jeff Howell, Sarah Locke, Shawn Fernandez, Shalisa James, Stephanie Sheh, Cristina Valenzuela, Shelby Lindley, Cassandra Lee Morris, Christine Marie Cabanos, Xanthe Huynh, Laura Bailey, and Fred Tatasciore, with Duncan Brannan, Jaret Reddick, Annagrey Wiechman, John Bowen, Jeremy Blaido, Earl Fisher, Kira Vincent-Davis, Gabby Hoeng, and Jessica Puente, alongside special guest stars Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Justin Timberlake, Vanessa Hudgens, CeeLo Green, Julie Andrews, Judi Dench, Dolly Parton, and indie steampunk band Steam Powered Giraffe. It follows Billy Bob, the Rock-afire Explosion and Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band going on a cross-country mission to evade Mike Wolf's evil plot to send them to jail and ruin their reputations. Meanwhile, Ho-kago Tea Time members Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Mugi, and Azusa trail Mike and uncovers a sinister conspiracy from the past.
Despite being named after the Rock-afire Explosion, in truth, Ho-kago Tea Time can be considered the true protagonists, as the film represents the end of the story arc that began with the Magic Night incident in November 2016; Sheh, Valenzuela, Morris, Lindley, and Cabanos all received top billing in the end credits.
The film premiered on April 16, 2021 at the San Jose Theatre, and was released worldwide on April 21. It received widespread acclaim for its story and voice acting, as well as its musical numbers and animation. A sequel was released in 2024, while a Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band spin-off film was released in 2023.
== Plot ==
The film begins with the Rock-afire Explosion, Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band, and Ho-kago Tea Time, the former two bands dressed in their formal clothes (Ho-kago Tea Time's members are dressed in their normal schoolgirl uniforms because they didn't feel like it) and having their own conversations, in stretched limos at night. The limos stop at a movie theatre, with the three bands coming out to attend a screening of their movie. They all enter into their seats carrying popcorn, drinks and other treats with other characters from their parent franchises and The Rock-afire Explosion Show also in the audience. As the curtains open, the camera zooms into the screen to show a stylized opening sequence that parodies 1970s action movies. After the intro, the film cuts to Mike Wolf watching a performance by the Rock-afire Explosion on YouTube along with Billy Bob and Looney Bird interviewing Larry King. He turns off the TV in frustration at them getting all the attention over his "star" (and only) clients, Ducky Cheese and Justin Beaver. He decides to ruin the RAE's reputation once and for all and comes up with a plan to bait them into his trap. 
At Smitty's Super Service Station, Billy Bob and Looney Bird are handed a letter from record producer Kelton Chandler and his daughter, Karissa Chandler. They're notified that, after their performance at their latest concert, they are looking at signing the band to their label, Chandler Records. Billy Bob, ecstatic, shows the letter to the rest of the band, while Looney Bird is suspicious of the Chandlers' motives. When Billy Bob shows the letter, Fatz is delighted. He takes himself and the other members on a trip to New York City.
Over in Tokyo, the members of Ho-kago Tea Time are deciding what to order through DoorDash when they get a phone call from Billy Bob, who tells them about the letter. Mugi tells him she is proud, and that the band's coming over. When she hangs up, Mugi tells the other members, Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Azusa, to follow her to New York, as something tells her this is too good to be true and could be a trap. Meanwhile, the RAE bus has arrived in New York following a traveling montage, showing the band going from Orlando to New York, as well as photos of the band stopping at various landmarks. They visit various New York landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and World Trade Center, among others, before stopping by the Chandler Records building. There, they meet the Chandlers in person and begin negotiating terms, which devolves into an argument between Fatz and Kelton about the latter's potential motives: Fatz believes that Kelton is trying to con the band, and sends them back to the tour bus. They are then surrounded by the New York Police Department and spot a letter from Mike Wolf, who explains to the band that he had claimed to the Chief of Police that the Rock-afire Explosion had stolen millions of dollars worth of gold, diamonds and other materials from banks, planting fake evidence to further his claims; the note ends with Mike declaring "Ducky Cheese and Justin Beaver will reign supreme over all family entertainment!". They get back on the bus and go on the run. 
Meanwhile, as Chuck E. Cheese, Crusty T. Cat and Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band are performing at a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Tennessee, they're interrupted by Chuck E. getting a phone call from Billy Bob, who asks if Chuck E. could help him. Chuck E., Crusty and the other members agree to help, and leave a flat screen TV on the stage before driving away in Crusty's car. 
As Ho-kago Tea Time are finding clues related to the Rock-afire Explosion's near-arrest, they come to New York, where they spot a crime scene in a Federal Reserve Bank, and Ritsu discovers a trail of gray fur. The band makes contact with Nodoka, who quickly flies over and uses the fur to conduct a DNA test. After sending it through a machine, she discovers that the fur belongs to Mike; Ritsu is not surprised, as she already had her suspicions it was him. Mugi takes the band to Florida, where Mike usually hangs out at, to find more answers about his plan. 
The RAE and Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band, having arrived in San Pacifica, Texas,hang out at the saloon. There, they meet a woman named Maria, who sings a country song about the town; the song itself plays over a montage of people having fun in the town; they also meet up with Texas Tom. As this happens, Mike is luring them all into his trap, with the help of a group called the Quartet of Evil: the crazed Joseph David, the cool, refined Thunder Smith, the rebellious Reyse Presley, and the smart-aleck Bobby Lincoln. Suddenly, a squad of FBI vans come to West Texas, causing the group to scramble back to the bus; however, they don't make it in time, as they end up caught and sent to jail. Texas Tom has to explain to the people that they've been framed. 
When the members of Ho-kago Tea Time trace the group to Texas, they get a phone call from Mike, who tells Ritsu that he called a hit on the band. Ritsu, furious, calls the rest of the band to action, and they borrow several motorcycles with sidecars (except Mugi, who actually can ride a motorcycle, something none of the other girls ever knew) from a biker club. They spot Mike's goons on motorcycles and chase them across Orlando. The chase ends up on the news, and many Orlando citizens watch as the chase commences. In the course of the chase, one of Mike's goons insults Mugi to her face, to which she punches him square in the face and into a tree. Mio kicks another goon into a sign, with a piece of wood landing in the sidecar Yui is riding in while two of the other goons hit the downed motorcycle of the goon that hit the sign. Yui suddenly gets a flash of brilliance and jams the wood in the spokes of the last goon's motorcycle, sending him flying with a Goofy Holler. The girls quickly flee to the countryside before the police can come after them, as Mike basically owns the police. 
At the prison, the Rock-afire Explosion is sent into individual cells, apart from Rolfe and Earl; Earl laments that he could be with "Good Rolfe" (his nickname for Ui) but ended up with "Bad Rolfe" instead. This leads into a large argument among the group until Billy Bob gives a whistle so loud that it could be heard outside, scaring off some birds. He convinces the group to work together to escape. Fatz breaks the bars off his cell and does the same for the others. They leave the building and find a salvage yard where they find their bus. They get back in the bus and drive off, though with growing tension among the group. 
In Florida, Ritsu gets a call from Billy Bob, who tells her that they've escaped from prison. The group decides to stop at Las Vegas, Nevada, where they meet Leigh McRogers. Together they take a tour of the Las Vegas Strip and take photos of several landmarks. Just then, Dook runs off to the casino where he gambles $10 million (more money than the RAE has) on a blackjack table. The other members try to stop him, but he loses; the croupier demands $10 million but as none of the band members have that much money, they end up in debt. They run off back to their bus while evading the guards and drive off. It is also revealed that the croupier is another of Mike Wolf's goons, and that he cheated to try and hinder the band further. Mike pays the croupier with a counterfeit $50 bill with his own face on it, which the croupier realizes too late. 
As they drive to a truck stop, the entire group, mad from the misfortune they went through (apart from Billy Bob, who tries to restore order to no avail), gets into a massive argument. When they pull up, the members angrily go their separate as Billy Bob tries convincing them to stay together, as splitting them up is what Mike wants. Fatz angrily tells Billy Bob that Mike has already won, that nothing can save ShowBiz Pizza Time from becoming Ducky Cheese's, and that it's best they go their separate ways before Mike hunts them all down to bury ShowBiz's memory for good. Left at the truck stop gas station on their own, Billy Bob sadly plays his bass with Looney Bird listening. After this scene, an intermission screen appears and the characters in the theatre provide additional commentary: Mike Wolf openly roots for his evil plot in the film to succeed, while Madame Oink complains that her big scene was cut and Looney Bird calls out the writers for putting the "friendship failure" scene in, pointing out how clichéd it is. 
The movie resumes with Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band arriving in San Diego at Walter Manor to see if Steam Powered Giraffe can help the Rock-afire Explosion. When their "help" ends in Rabbit exploding (with Helen fainting after Rabbit's still-functioning head starts talking), Chuck E. gets a notification on his phone that somebody has just bought all of ShowBiz Pizza Time Inc.'s stock, quickly realizing that Mike has made his move. The band drives to the nearest Chuck E. Cheese's and looks on helplessly as signage for "Ducky Cheese's" goes up. Mike appears all of a sudden to tell Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band that they're all fired, and to never come near his restaurants on penalty of death. To prove he means business, he has his goons fire shots in the air from AR-15 assault rifles, and the band cuts their losses and decide to go to Pasqually's pizza restaurant in New York, only for Mike to reveal he bought that, too, and plans to turn it into a strip club. 
Back with Billy Bob, he and Looney Bird are still sitting at the gas station, when Ho-kago Tea Time drives up in a bus driven by Sawako, who they conveniently came across. After receiving a panicked phone call from Chuck E., the group sets off to find the Rock-afire Explosion. They find Mitzi Jr. at home with her mother, Beach Bear trying to hitch-hike "Hulk style", Dook begging on a street corner, Fatz with his girlfriend Esmerelda, Fernando making balloon animals for kids, and Rolfe and Earl in a "dummy-off" with Jeff Dunham and Walter. Initially, the Rock-afire Explosion wants nothing more to do with each other, until they get a tongue-lashing from Yui, of all people, who calls them to arms against Mike. Before they depart, Ho-kago Tea Time finally makes peace with Rolfe. 
After rendezvousing with Chuck E. and friends, the group manages to locate Mike's center of operations. Armed with various objects, they storm the building and fight their way through hordes of Mike's minions, encountering various traps that they overcome with teamwork and skill. Eventually, though, they become overwhelmed and are captured. 
Brought before Mike, he gloats about his plan: taking over family entertainment was the first step. His ultimate goal is to take over the world and destroy all humans, leaving it for talking animals and ONLY talking animals, ranting about humans destroying the environment; everyone, even some of his minions, agree that he's clinically-insane. Just as the group (including the minions who just called him crazy) is about to executed by firing squad, Crusty's car crashes through a wall. He has with him Ui and Jun, who reveal that they not only received a text from Nodoka regarding the raid, they even managed to find Sumire and Nao (everyone except Mugi, Azusa, and Sawako ask who they are, and needless to say, Sumire is NOT happy to see Sawako again). 
The Rock-afire Explosion and Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band escape and continue fighting Mike's minions, while Ho-kago Tea Time, joined by New Leaf Girls and Nodoka, stay behind to take out Mike, mainly to get revenge for the Magic Night Incident of 2016. Mike creates a distraction to escape aboard his Zeppelin, but Ho-kago Tea Time manages to get aboard while New Leaf Girls (sans Azusa) stays behind to fight off the minions that just broke down the door. 
Aboard the Zeppelin, the girls fight through the Quartet of Evil using their wits to incapacitate them (though Mugi accidentally punches Bobby out of a window, and is scared for a second that she killed, only to find him hanging from the airship by his Fluttershy underwear). Mike climbs up to the top of the airship, and Ritsu and Mio follow. 
Atop the airship, Mike brags that even if they defeat him, ShowBiz Pizza Time is still finished. Ritsu responds by attacking him, and in the scuffle, Mike punches Mio square in the face. Now utterly pissed, Ritsu punches Mike repeatedly in the face, stating that each punch is for multiple things: marketing Justin Beaver (who has a grating, high-pitched voice) and Ducky Cheese (who can't speak a word of English), constantly trying to destroy ShowBiz Pizza Time, making them all hate Rolfe for no reason, plotting the genocide of the human race, and what she considers the worst sin, hurting the one she loves most. Holding him by the neck over the side of the airship, she contemplates dropping him to his death, only to look back at Mio, and, realizing what she's about to do, tosses Mike to the side while she goes to help Mio up. Just as she does, Mio kisses her on the lips, having heard what Ritsu said, along with the fact this had been building up for years. 
Back below decks with a hogtied Mike, Ho-kago Tea Time faces another problem: none of them know how to fly the airship. Yui calls Nodoka, who talks them through landing. The ship ends up crashing when Azusa, who had the wheel, loses control, but Ho-kago Tea Time is none the worse for wear. Back on the ground, the Rock-afire Explosion reconciles, and they, along with Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band, Ho-kago Tea Time, New Leaf Girls, and even Steam Powered Giraffe (the latter of whom showed up too late, though this doesn't stop The Jon from finding Mike's stash of Crystal Pepsi) take turns throwing fruit at Mike as revenge (The Spine ends up throwing a Nachosaurus instead). 
In the midst of their revelry, however, the police suddenly show up and places everyone under arrest. The New York police chief from earlier says that, even if the Rock-afire Explosion didn't commit robbery, they still broke out of prison and resisted arrest, while Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band broke numerous speed limits (and Crusty's car is barely street-legal), and Ho-kago Tea Time committed vigilantism. Just before they get handcuffed, though, she gets a phone call from none other than Tim Johnson himself, who orders her to release the group or else he will turn Midtown Manhattan into a sea of flame using the Johnson Paramilitary. Not wanting to anger the president's son, she orders the group be released and all charges dropped. She further lightens up when a thorough search of the computers in Mike's lair uncover his disburbing plans for human extinction. For this, the group is hailed as heroes for saving the world, while Mike is taken to The Hague in the Netherlands to stand trial for (literal) crimes against humanity. 
The group celebrate their victory at one of Mugi's beach houses, where all three get up on stage to sing the Abbey Road Medley. The film ends with GG the Giraffe bursting through the screen, much to the surprise of everyone in the theater. Turns out Steam Powered Giraffe was invited, too, but they got lost because Hatchworth downloaded MapQuest directions, which nobody does anymore. As the credits roll, everyone talks amongst each other. 
In a post-credits scene that takes place back at the Rock-afire Explosion's hangout, they play a card game. They mock the superhero film convention of post-credits scenes being used to set up future films.

== Development ==
===Casting===
The main voice actors for all three main bands reprised their roles. On November 13, 2020, it was reported that Steam Powered Giraffe would make a cameo, as well as performing a song for the film's soundtrack.
Due to the film being produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the main voice actors recorded through Zoom during recording sessions. This was the final film role for Norman Lloyd, Larry King, and Regis Philbin (who all make cameos in the film) before their 2021 and 2020 deaths, respectively.
=== Animation ===
The animation for the film was produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, using traditional cel animation. Some scenes were accomplished with practical effects, such as vehicle chase scenes. The animation for the K-On! characters was produced separately by Kyoto Animation on a larger-than-normal budget.
=== Alternate cut ===
An alternate cut of the film, available only on Netflix and dubbed "The Gruesome Cut", contains numerous alternate scenes with the K-On! characters that are more violent and gory than the original cut, namely that the girls are shown killing people onscreen, whereas in the original cut, they merely outsmarted them and left them in comical situations. The most notable is the motorcycle chase, in which Ho-kago Tea Time chases down Mike Wolf's goons. In the original cut, they suffer comical defeats, while in the alternate cut, they instead suffer graphic on-screen deaths. Mike's defeat is also jarringly different: in the original cut, Ritsu relents and spares Mike, while in the alternate cut, she lets Mike go, and he is graphically shredded by one of the airship's propellers. Reportedly, this cut was made as a joke by the Detective Jenny production staff. A few elements of "The Gruesome Cut" are also present in the main cut, namely Ritsu referring to Mike Wolf as a "son of a bitch".

=== Fake outtakes ===
The DVD and Blu-ray releases contain fake outtakes of certain scenes (though some of them are genuine flubs that occurred during production) with an introduction from director Aaron Fechter and co-writer and executive producer Tim Johnson.
# In the opening when Billy Bob leaps out of an explosion, he trips over.
# During the scene where Mugi gathers up Ho-kago Tea Time to go to New York, Azusa burps loudly. This was a genuine blooper, as Christine Marie Cabanos did actually burp that loud and caused everyone to break down laughing.
# In the scene where Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band leaves a flatscreen in their place, Rei Ayanami from Monster World (voiced by Michelle Ruff in what has been declared her final performance as Rei before Amanda Winn-Lee returned to the role that year) casually walks up and steals it.
# In the scene where Ho-kago Tea Time arrives in New York, Yui accidentally trips a Times Square Elmo (voiced by Hank Azaria).
# In the scene where Mike is talking to Ducky Cheese and Justin Beaver about his plans, Ducky suddenly starts speaking English while Mike looks at the camera with a face that says "Are you hearing this?!"; Ducky's English lines, while still provided by Duncan Brannan, are said with a more refined, English-sounding variation of his Mr. Munch voice from the 1990s.
# Atop the airship, Mike misses the punch meant for Mio's face and instead falls over. Everyone laughs as Ritsu helps Mike to his feet.
# In a second take related to the above, the fight is interrupted when Keroro (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) suddenly crashes through from the next soundstage over. He give a thumbs up as Fuyuki (voiced by Tim Johnson) is heard offscreen grumbling.
# One of the motorcycle goons (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) fails to show up, and the scene cuts to him at a McDonald's drive-thru.
# During the jailbreak, Rolfe slips on a puddle and falls flat on his face while Earl laughs.
# During Mike's motive rant, he flubs a line. This was a genuine mistake by Fred Tatasciore.
# When analyzing the fur sample, Nodoka spots a vial labelled "Property of R. Sanchez". Rick (voiced by Justin Roiland) then comes in and takes it.
# During a break in filming, it is revealed that all of the motorcycles are Junkions, and the motorcycle Mugi was riding is Wreck-Gar. They converse about how filming is going so far, and what the next season of Transformers: The Great War holds.
# During the visit to Walter Manor, Walter Worker Chelsea (voiced by Chelsea Penyak) walks into the shot, sees the set is hot, and quickly ducks out. This doesn't escape The Spine's notice, and he calls for a new take.
# When running through the airship, Mugi slips on the floor and crashes offscreen. Yui looks at the floor and asks that they not use so much wax next time.
# Atop the airship, Jenny and Makayla (voiced by Tara Strong and Alanna Ubach, respectively) suddenly show up, and quickly realize they're on the wrong soundstage. Reportedly, this was because Strong and Ubach were brought in to voice some background extras, and did their Jenny and Makayla voices as a warm-up, which included acting out a scene with Fred Tatasciore where they violently skin Mike alive.
# In another take atop the airship, the fight is interrupted by Darkwing Duck (voiced by Jim Cummings) making a speech where he calls himself "The cameo nobody asked for". This was a joke done by Cummings.
# The greenscreen behind Yui, Azusa, and the last goon when Yui is about to jam the wooden fragment into the motorcycle spokes suddenly glitches and is replaced by Melvin from Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (voiced by Martin Billany) saying "Kill your family!" on loop. The three look back and immediately burst out laughing.
# During a rehearsal, Jasper and Beach Bear break out into an impromptu game of football, which involves just tossing the ball to each other (similar to how characters play football in The Room). Chuck E. notes how that's not how football is played, but joins in anyway.
# Chuck E. flubs a line in the beach house party scene at the end before Munch asks when lunch break is.
