Baby's First Sounds

"***Baby's First Sounds***" is the 26th theatrical episode of the Brady Einstein series. It was going to be hosted by Cal so they can break the rules. That hosting spot was taken by Bee in 2008 and Clay Orosco and Claire Crosby in 2018. It is the only short to be rated PG by the MPAA. It is the fourth and final special of four (4 of 4). It is released to critical acclaim and became a box office success. It was nominated for an Oscar in 2019 but lost to "*Bao*" and "*Skin*".

### 2018 Version

#### Act 1: An Interview With Viva Leigh

Rick Dicker, a government agent assigned to aid "supers" in maintaining their anonymity, interviews Viva Leigh (the sister of Wade Disney and mother of Wilson Disney) about the events unfolded while they try to make 'this film' a success while nothing worked.

#### Act 2: 2008

This act shows why Cal tried breaking the rules and laws Wade Disney causes Cal to disappear into oblivion by promising that he will never create her. Now Butterfly (Mike Pollock) is brought back into existence. However, it didn't work but maybe Matthew Orosco's tricks will.

#### Act 3: 2018

Mattmily Orosco stays at home with her family to perform the ritual with their neighbor Mr. Gao, who apparently was a shaman on the side. The women chant as Mattmily's soul heads to a spiritual realm where she encounters Sun Yee who holds a mirror that she must enter to remove the power. However, while going through it, she begins to reminisce on how much being a red panda has changed her life and rejects getting cured. But Walt Disney confiscated her red panda away, reviving himself and every Disney Villain from the dead.

The banishment take place at New York City as Cal asks why has he came back, having created an Ultimate Chimera Monster. Just then, the banishment fails and Matthew Orosco (Greg Cipes) seizes control of the Cal, forcing it to denounce Wade Disney as an impostor and tyrant, all while breaking into pieces and being destroyed after killing his minions. The crowd, enraged by Cal's treason, start climbing onto him and defeating his all his minions. BabyTV Butterfly and his minions emerge and chase them thru portal-to-portal, so he drew an anvil with his wandsaber, breaking the bridge to stop them from reaching them. Now this infuriates Sammy, Eve, Baby Maze, Rainbow Horse, Tillie, Harry the Bunny, VocabuLarry, Puzzles, Bonnie Bear, Color Crew, and Peep so much in the process, who starts hunting down The Player, claiming that he 'cheated', and that they're are going to play 'one last game' with him, calling it 'hide-and-seek'. Surviving their relentless chase, Matthew Orosco then traps them in a grinder and activate the lever, killing them. An enraged BabyFirst TV Blossom accused him of killing her friends and now he'll die. (or maybe not)

Pursued by an army of BabyFirst baby blossom clones, Matthew Orosco manages to return to the precise moment and location where the multiverse's rules and laws' banishment takes place. Matthew Orosco causes BabyFirst TV Blossom to be kidnapped, have his face erased, be bootlegged and smuggled away and also disappear into oblivion and absorbed them into the crystal by saying, "Meega Nala Kweesta." Matthew Orosco then shows Wade the bleak future Cal would have created, which is transformed before their eyes back into the Utopian future. After they land near their HQ, Butterfly is brought back into existence again. When he got into the wedding ceremony, he disintegrates Elias Charles Disney and the spell off forever and sets the enchantress free by disguising as his sister and saying "I don't." Cale witnesses Wade Disney get transformed himself at a wedding and he and and Wade's human conscience-like self escape the HQ before the starbeams can get them (but later defeated her instead), but not before Cale gains a llama's ears and tail. Just then, Connie and Pavlov find where all the kidnapped toons have been kept, including Butterfly who had been bootlegged off forever thus leading to the rest of "*Quest Of Illusion*".

#### Act 4: End Of Interrogration

Cutting back to the interrogation scene, Dicker is incredulous that Viva believed 'the film' lost the Oscar, to which Viva defensively shouts that she was not in a sound state of mind at the time and production was not acting normal. Dicker then asks Viva if she had told anyone else about the incident, to which she replies that she told her parents, who did not believe her and thought she was joking. As Viva expresses her wish to forget the 'whole episode', Dicker promises that she will, and activates a device to erase her memory.
