"The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy"

**"The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy"** is a song by Randy Newman and Chris Stapleton for the 2019 film Toy Story 4.

## Lyrics

I was a lonesome cowboy

Lonesome as I could be

You came along, changed my life

And fixed what was broken in me

I was a lonesome cowboy

I didn't have a friend

Now I got friends comin' out of my ears

I'll never be lonesome again

You can't be happy when you're all by yourself

Go on, tell me I'm wrong (You're wrong)

When someone takes you down from the shelf

And plays with you some, it's wonderful (Wonderful)

I was a lonesome cowboy

But not anymore

I just found out what love is about

I've never felt this way before

I was a lonesome cowboy

But not anymore

## Background

Randy Newman, known for his work as composer and songwriter on the Toy Story films, was confirmed to be returning for Toy Story 4. "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy", the film's main single, written by Newman and performed by Chris Stapleton, was revealed and released on June 5, 2019. The song is performed through the perspective of Sheriff Woody, the film's main character, because, according to Newman, "Woody feels like he was a lonesome cowboy until someone comes along and changes his world." Newman was particularly pleased by the fact that Stapleton performs the song, while Stapleton felt that "it's a tremendous honour to get to sing a Randy Newman song in what is without question one of the most iconic animated franchises in history.

## Reception

Rania Aniftos of Billboard praised the song's melody as "catchy". Nick Evans of CinemaBlend positively compared the song to Newman's previous songs from the Toy Story films, writing: "In keeping with the tradition of Toy Story songs, Randy Newman’s “The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy” is equal parts tear-jerking and heart-warming". Similarly, Ming Lee Newcomb of Consequences of Music compared the song to Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the original film, writing that "the charming Western ballad is similarly feel-good and kid-friendly". Angela Stefano of The Boot wrote that "not only is Pixar making childhood dreams come true with the release of a new Toy Story movie, they're making country music dreams come true, too" praising Newman's lyrics as "heartfelt yet childlike" and Stapleton's singing as "instantly recognizable".

Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story

**Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story** is a 2001 American live-action film directed by Nadia Tess.

It focuses on the history of Shirley Temple's career in Hollywood acting.

The film was released on May 13, 2001.

## Plot

Between 1934 and 1940, Shirley Temple was the biggest little star in Hollywood; she began doing song-and-dance numbers in one-reel comedies at the age of four, at six she stole the show in the musical Stand Up and Cheer, and at ten she was the number one box-office attraction in America, and had even taken home a special Oscar. Based on her 1988 autobiography, the film stars Ashley Rose Orr as her in a story that concentrates on the sunny side of her rise to fame and soft-peddles allegations that her parents (here played by Connie Britton and Colin Friels) mismanaged the fortune she earned during her years as a preteen celebrity. The film was produced by the mother-and-daughter team of Paula and Melissa Joan Hart; they have their own perspective on life as a youthful celebrity, thanks to Melissa's career as the star of the TV series Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, while her younger sister, Emily Hart, appears in the film as the teenage Temple.

Molt

**Molt** is a major antagonist from the 1998 film A Bug's Life.

## Background

### Personality

Molt is Hopper's younger brother and the self-proclaimed Vice President of the grasshopper gang, although nobody believes that but him. Fat, gullible, a bit stupid, and loud-mouthed, but essentially good-hearted and honest, Molt got his name due to the fact that his chitlin armour molts off in flakes. He regularly infuriates Hopper to the point that Hopper told Molt early in the film that if he hadn't promised their Mother on her deathbed that he wouldn't kill Molt, he would do so.

Molt often tries to be scary, but he's never taken seriously, partly because he is so submissive to the genuinely terrifying Hopper.

## Film Appearances

### A Bug's Life

When the grasshoppers first invade Ant Island, Molt interrupts Hopper's threatening speech to Atta, loudly telling everybody about a blue jay that once nearly ate Hopper. Infuriated, Hopper memorably tells Molt that if their mother hadn't made him promise on her deathbed never to kill Molt, he would kill him. He then forbids Molt to talk for the remainder of their visit and vents his rage by decking another grasshopper. Shortly afterward, the grasshoppers leave.

Later back at the grasshopper headquarters, Molt's "friends" Axel and Loco tell him that it's pointless going back to Ant Island. When Molt agrees, they convince him to put the idea to Hopper as his own, in the hope that if Hopper doesn't like it, then at least Molt will be the one who suffers his wrath. When the idea infuriates Hopper, Molt frantically admits it wasn't his idea, and that Axel and Loco suggested it. Realizing there is dissent in his gang, Hopper buries Axel and Loco in a pile of grains to point out the possible danger of the ants before heading with the rest of the gang back to Ant Island, with Molt complimenting on how his brother was such a motivational speaker.

Near the end of the film, Molt is seen eating, enjoying, and encouraging the circus, even begging to be chosen for the Chinese Cabinet of Metamorphosis act (which was actually a plan to help the Queen escape to safety), going as far as to ask Manny with his mind. After the Queen was moved to safety and Hopper questioned her location, Molt agreed with Gypsy's statement that "a magician never reveals his secrets" until an acorn cap plate to the head from his brother shuts him up, As Thumper is beating up Flik because he was responsible for the model bird, Molt cringed in fear from each hit, unlike the other grasshoppers. When the ants charge at the grasshoppers, Molt sheds his peeling skin all at once in fright at the mass of ants, charging at his fellow grasshoppers, but rather than fleeing the island and abandoning Hopper like the others, he runs and hides in the grass.

Molt survives the ants' rebellion, and in the end, he joins P.T. Flea's circus as a strongman, with a new nickname: "Tiny." When he climbs into the circus wagon, Molt expresses his thankfulness towards Flik for giving him a fresh start, until Manny and Gypsy close the wagon with Molt saying, "Shutting up," one last time.
Once Upon a Snowman

**Once Upon a Snowman** is a short film directed by Dan Abraham and Trent Correy. The film was released on October 23, 2020.

## Plot

During Elsa's song "Let It Go", Olaf the snowman is brought to life. Before he can do anything, however, she releases her cape, which flies and knocks him down the mountain side until he crashes into a tree. Not knowing who he is, or why he is alive, he decides to find an identity for himself. He comes upon Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna (where Kristoff can audibly be heard singing "Reindeers Are Better Than People" from the barn) and gets flattened by the front door by Anna, who exits not noticing him and carrying a bag of carrots (which she will eventually give to Kristoff and Sven as payment).

Olaf enters the Post and meets Oaken, who does not seem all that surprised by the appearance of a talking snowman. Olaf asks for a nose, possibly a carrot, for his face, but Oaken explains that he sold the last batch and decides to help him out by trying a variety of other objects. One of the objects is a stereoscope that features images of "summer". Olaf is immediately taken by it and wants to experience it before settling on a sausage for his nose.

As Olaf happily leaves with his new nose, a pack of wolves suddenly appear and begin to chase him through the snowy tundra, during which Anna and Kristoff can be heard arguing with each other over the concept of love. Olaf passes by them, again unnoticed, which gets the wolves to suddenly shift their attention to them. Olaf continues to slide and witnesses Anna, Kristoff, and Sven making a leap across the gorge while ditching their sleigh. Olaf makes it to the bottom, where he spots one of the carrots that gets dropped, but it gets crushed by the sleigh.

Olaf's sausage nose breaks, which saddens him. Upon seeing one of the wolves whimpering pitifully at his nose, he gives it to him, believing that he needs it more than him. The wolf happily licks and snuggles with him before leaving. Olaf comments that it felt like a warm hug, which suddenly causes him to remember Anna and Elsa's time playing together as children. Finally realizing who he is, he comments "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

During the credits, Olaf is seen coming across Anna, Kristoff and Sven who will eventually give him his iconic carrot nose.

## Cast and Characters

* Josh Gad as Olaf
* Idina Menzel as Elsa
	+ Eva Bella as Young Elsa
* Kristen Bell as Anna
	+ Livvy Stubenrauch as Young Anna

Thaddeus Bile

**Thaddeus "Phlegm" Bile** is a minor character from the 2001 film Monsters, Inc.

## Background

### Personality

Thaddeus Bile, or Phlegm to his friends, is a rather inept individual. While he takes his job seriously, he is not very good at it. Everyone is apparently forgiving of his shortcomings and is aware of his lack of ability to scare. He seems more inclined to be funny than scary. This is made apparent when the company switches from scream power to laugh power as he is shown to be much more accepting of this. He is very eager to be friendly with children, especially infants who are more prone to laugh at his jokes, or rather pratfalls.

### Physical Appearance

Bile is, large, tubby and blue. He has stumpy feet with black toes and four purple, spindly, tentacle arms with four fingers on each of them and suction cups underneath. He has a tail which has a small mace-like ball at the end of it and has several soft spikes on his head that are capable of becoming sharp, though he rarely shows this. He has a mouth and two eyes and eyebrows, but lacks a nose.

## Film Appearances

### Monsters, Inc.

When first shown at the very beginning of the film, Bile struggled with his test simulations, leaving a door open and utterly screwing up on his attempt to frighten the mechanical child. He tripped over things such as a soccer ball and a skateboard before landing painfully on a pile of jacks on his backside. He was accident-prone and a bit of a coward.

He is seen sitting in front of the Sushi Chef at Harryhausen's on the night Mike Wazowski takes his girlfriend Celia Mae to the restaurant for her birthday dinner.

Right before Sulley's scare demo, Bile screwed up on yet another attempt to frighten the mechanical boy, instead of lulling him to sleep, much to Mr. Waternoose's frustration. Bile claims he was going for a "snake/ninja approach, with a little hissing."

He is later seen near the entrance to the factory amongst the other monsters watching Mr. Waternoose get arrested by the CDA.

During the event of Monsters At Work, he becomes a Jokester and is very adept at his new job. His signature way of making children laugh is tripping on sharp objects and screaming in pain.

At the end of the film, he was shown returning to Laugh Floor F from a child's room after successfully making that child laugh, presumably by performing the accident he got in the simulation at the beginning of the movie as he was seen with jacks on his bottom.

He also appeared in Mike Wazowski's company play "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From or So Help Me", portraying the Sushi Chef during the restaurant scene, as well as singing with the rest of the cast at the play's finale.
The Four Diamonds

**The Four Diamonds** is a 1995 American live-action film directed by Peter Werner.

It focuses on a young Christopher Millard who fantasises about being a squire of the Round Table and studies the stars.

The film was released on August 12, 1995.

## Book

The story relates the quest of teenage squire Millard to prove his knighthood for King Arthur preliminary to questing for the Holy Grail. Millard decides to do this by ridding a distant land of the evil sorceress Raptenahad (named after his disease, rhabdomyosarcoma) and liberate it of her many curses. Once captured by Raptenahad, the young hero attempts repeatedly to regain his freedom and vanquish her. The witch begins to admire her captive for his courage, and offers Millard to try and collect the Diamonus Quadrus (the Four Diamonds) of Courage, Wisdom, Honesty, and Strength in order to defeat her (these were virtues Chris believed were necessary in the battle against cancer). If Millard accomplished every difficult task she assigned him, he would be freed and her reign would end forever. Eventually, his continued success enrages Raptenahad and, fearing for her life, she determines to destroy him on his final challenge, however he manages to overcome all obstacles and completes it too. With the sorceress being more, and her curses lifted, the knight takes over her former castle as his own palace and the story of Sir Millard begins.

## Film Adaptation

The Four Diamonds television film, written by Todd Robinson and directed by Peter Werner, was broadcast on August 12, 1995, starring Tom Guiry as Chris Millard and Squire Millard, Christine Lahti co-starred as Chris' doctor and the sorceress Queen Raptenahad, Kevin Dunn as Charles Millard and the wizard Charles the Mysterious, and Jayne Brook as Irma Millard and Hermit of the Lagoon. The film weaves the stages of Millard's real life with Arthurian parallels in the story.
Needleman and Smitty

**Needleman and Smitty** are minor characters from the 2001 film Monsters, Inc..

## Background

### Personality

Both Needleman and Smitty sound dim-witted and idiotic, according to their high-pitched monotone voices.

### Physical Appearance

Needleman is very skinny, has light brown skin, a short tail, a large red nose, and two upward-pointing horns on either side of his head. Smitty has light green skin and four arms and resembles a slug. While wearing his hat, Smitty has his orange fin-like hair over one of his eyes, a hairstyle known as emo.

## Film Appearances

### Monsters, Inc.

Needleman and Smitty work on the scare floor as general maintenance and errand monsters at Monsters, Inc. They are silly teenaged employees of the company. Needleman sometimes scolds Smitty for saying something he doesn't like or is just being stupid.

Needleman and Smitty really support Sulley in his race to beat the all-time scare record and have a lot of respect for all the scarers on the floor. They shred the door that Claws Ward has used when a kid he had attempted to scare turned out to be unafraid of him. Next they take out the garbage, almost destroying Boo, who manages to get out before they put the garbage in the crushing machine. Later, they and many other monsters surround Randall cheering for him when Celia Mae announces he just broke the all-time scare record. They are last seen near the entrance to the factory amongst the other monsters watching Mr. Waternoose get arrested by the CDA.

In one of the film outtakes, Smitty mispronounces Sullivan's name as "Solomon" and Needleman tries to tell him that his name is "Sullivan," but the two begin quarrelling as they end up ruining the scene and making matters worse. Another outtake shows the duo about to shred the door that Claws Ward has used; the door shredder chews the door, but then takes the two on a wild ride across the scare floor and knocks over the crew equipment.

Needleman and Smitty also appear in Mike Wazowski's company play "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From or So Help Me" as Randall Boggs and Fungus, respectively, to which the crowd boos at them for their evil roles. They sing with the rest of the cast at the play's finale.

It focuses on a 14-year-old girl who works at a racetrack and trains a talking racehorse with issues, transforming him into a winner.

The film was released on July 14, 2000.

## Plot

Ready to Run is the story of 14-year-old Corrie Ortiz, an energetic girl who dreams of becoming a jockey in the predominantly male sport of Thoroughbred horse racing. Although her father died in a racing-related accident, and her mother is against it, Corrie's spirited memory drives her to try to achieve her goal.

She also has the gift her grandmother calls the "confidence of horses". It allows Corrie to communicate with her horse, Thunder Jam (TJ), who lives dispiritedly in his sire's shadow. Though TJ is an excellent runner, he has an immense fear of the starting gates.

To conquer this fear, the team employs the strange tactic of placing headphones over TJ's ears. Surprisingly, the music works. TJ can now get through the gate with confidence. The headphones later become a trademark of Thunder Jam as he wins more and more races. B. Moody, an ex-circus rider, is picked up as the jockey, however, an accident caused by Thunder Jam's competition leaves Moody injured and unable to compete, thus forcing Corrie to step in and take his place.

At the final race of the season their toughest opponent is doing everything he can to see that he wins. He takes it up with the judges that the headphones on TJ's ears are stimulating the horse in some rule breaking manner and should be disallowed.

Dismayed, Corrie and TJ have to run the race without their signature item. After a rough start, Moody ingeniously puts TJ's music over the race course's loud speakers, and TJ, made confident by the familiar song, goes on to win the fictional Gold Rush Derby.

XR

XR
--

**XR** is a character from the television series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

## Background

XR originally had a very absent personality and was only programmed to learn from Buzz. On his first mission with Buzz, to try to protect the LGMs' Unimind from Zurg, he was destroyed by Warp Darkmatter. He was rebuilt by the LGMs, but since Zurg captured the Unimind, the LGMs' ability to rebuild him was inhibited, resulting in XR being rebuilt with a very human personality.

XR considers Commander Nebula to be his father because Commander Nebula unknowingly signed the papers to authorize XR's construction. XR constantly calls Commander Nebula "Dad", which annoys Nebula considerably.

XR has an "older brother" named XL, who was a failed forerunner model to XR. XL escaped Star Command and rebuilt himself using stolen parts and was a reoccurring villain throughout the series. XL, towards the end of the series, returned from evil and became good by turning on NOS-4-A2, the energy vampire. He was then employed at Star Command where he became an office managing robot.

XR has a taste for the high life. As a result he enjoys money, partying, dancing, beautiful women, and anything luxurious.

According to Dan Scanlon, Squishy was created to show a student even smaller than Mike being able to be scary, to emphasize that scariness isn't "about your size, necessarily, or even the way you look...it was a thing you either had or you didn't. An intangible quality." Squishy had to be a simple "unmolded ball of clay" that was easily overlooked, that "People shouldn’t be noticing him a lot. He should be boring-looking. He should actually be a bad design of a character, the worst background character that was never supposed to be seen in the foreground."

In early versions, artists based him on simple gels and candies. His final appearance takes the texture and appearance of Mochi candy.

## Film Appearances

### Monsters University

Squishy is constantly overlooked and often moves without being noticed by anyone. Because of this, his interventions keep freaking out Mike Wazowski, who forgets his presence all the time. He soon learns to use this to his advantage: in the "Avoid the Parent" leg of the Scare Games, he gets the OK flag unnoticed and brings victory to his team, and he catches a good score in the final "Simulate Scare" event by mysteriously changing position, freaking out the child dummy.

At the ROR party, Squishy discovers himself a more wild personality, dancing like crazy with the Python Nu Kappa sisters.

During the end credits of the film, Scott was given a card indicating he now is a Scarer at Monsters, Inc., using the name Scott "Scary" Squibbles.

### Short Films

#### Party Central

Squishy re-appeared in the short film Party Central along with the rest of the Oozma Kappa crew.
Hercules: Zero to Hero

**Hercules: Zero to Hero** is a 1999 American animated film directed by Bob Kline, Tad Stones and Phil Weinstein. It is the sequel to the 1997 film Hercules.

The film was released on August 17, 1999 as a direct-to-video.

## Plot

The film briefly gives Hercules' history after defeating Hades (who off-screen succeeded in getting out of the River Styx and gave up his quest for the rule of Olympus), in which Hercules marries Meg and revisits his teenage years. In particular, it shows an adolescent Hercules's enrolment and the beginning of his adventures at the Prometheus Academy, a school for gods and mortals, which Hercules supposedly attended during the time when he was training to be a hero with his mentor, the satyr Philoctetes.

## Release

Hercules: Zero to Hero was first released on home video on August 17, 1999.

## Reception

Michelle Erica Green of LittleReview gave the film a rating of B+, writing that while the film "lacks the dazzling visuals of the feature film upon which it is based... it's hard not to be charmed", adding "the characters are all clever and original despite their mythic origins". Conversely, Antagony & Ecstasy gave a scathing review, writing that as the film "was assembled of four episodes of the Hercules cartoon that had already aired in 1998 and 1999", it was "perhaps the single grubbiest cash-in of [all the direct-to-video released]", adding "Zero to Hero was already going to be at such a low level of accomplishment even relative to other DTV projects".

In a review, Vern Perry of the Orange County Register described the Disney formula as "Just give 'em what they like. And keep it up.", noting that's what the company has done with these two 1998/1999 releases. He added that this film benefited greatly from the return of some of the original voice cast including Tate Donovan and James Woods.

Piper

**Piper** is a short film directed by Alan Barillaro. The film was released on June 17, 2016.

## Plot

A flock of sandpipers is hunting for food at a seashore by searching for bivalves exposed by receding waves and running away when the wave returns. A baby (named Piper) is taken to shoreline by her mother so she can learn how to find her own food. However, she fails to pull away in time and is soaked wet by the incoming surf. The incident leaves Piper terrified of the water and she refuses to leave the nest. Soon, she is compelled to return to the shoreline by her hunger and notices a hermit crab digging in the sand. While she is watching the crab, a large wave comes in and submerges her. However, this time the crab tells Piper to open her eyes, allowing her to see large bivalves exposed by the wave. Excited, Piper overcomes her fear of water and learns how to catch the large bivalves when they are exposed underwater, catching enough to feed her entire flock.

## Production

Alan Barillaro used new, cutting edge technology to create Piper over three years. In order to give the sandpipers and other birds visible in the background a realistic look, Barillaro and the short animation team visited beaches in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as the Monterey Bay Aquarium to study their appearance and behaviour. The sandpipers' feathers in particular were rendered in minute detail.

## Release

Piper was theatrically released on June 17, 2016, before Finding Dory. It was also included on the Blu-ray and DVD releases of the latter.

## Reception

### Critical Response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Piper has a 100% approval rating based on five reviews.

Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the short film a grade of "A-", calling it a "gripping survival story in cute, charming clothing". He praised the animation for being "incredibly lifelike" and said that Pixar had taken the medium of the short film into "uncharted new territory" with its realistic animation. Kohn also felt that while the short's plot was simple, its narrative style was similar to that of Studio Ghibli films. Writing for Insider, Kirsten Acuna also praised the animation, calling the depiction of sand and water "incredibly real".

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote that Piper was "simple as a haiku and yet stunning" and called it the "uncontestable best" of that year's nominees for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post called the short "one of Pixar’s strongest", while Marcy Cook of The Mary Sue opined that it was better than Finding Dory (alongside which it was released) and was worth the price of admission on its own. In 2022, Comic Book Resources ranked the short second on its list of the best short films made by Disney or Pixar.

Super Rhino

**Super Rhino** is a short film directed by Nathan Greno. The film was released on March 22, 2009.

## Plot

Penny and Bolt have been captured by the evil Dr. Calico, suspended above a pool of lava, inside a heavily guarded warehouse on an island in the middle of nowhere - a base which is impenetrable to both people and dogs. Penny's father watches the events from his lab through a secret camera imbedded in Bolt's collar and worries that he cannot save her. Discovering that no man or dog can break into Dr. Calico's base, he turns to Rhino, who is watching TV in the background. In order to save Penny and Bolt, Rhino is put through the same procedure as Bolt to give him super-powers.

Rhino uses his newly found powers to fly across the sea and crash land outside the armed base encased in his ball. Rhino's battle with the guard is witnessed by Penny, Bolt and Dr. Calico from the inside, with helicopters and cars crashing into the side of the building. Rhino uses his heat-vision to create an opening in the wall.

Once inside, Rhino uses his eye-beams to defeat the armed guards and commandeers a flying missile, riding it like a surfboard to aim at Dr. Calico, though the missile misses. Instead, Rhino uses his "super squeak" (similar to Bolt’s "super bark") ability to finish the villain off. With Penny and Bolt saved, Rhino walks away.

Rhino is next seen on stage performing "The Best of Both Worlds"; the theme song from Hannah Montana (by co-star Miley Cyrus), where it is revealed that Rhino has been dreaming his adventures all along. Mittens wakes him up, telling him that she's not a fan of his singing. The short ends with another dream sequence, this time about Rhino being selected by the President to defeat Calico once again.

* Miley Cyrus as Penny
* Susie Essman as Mittens

The Bensons

**The Bensons** are the secondary antagonists of the 2019 film Toy Story 4.

## Film Appearances

### Toy Story 4

The Bensons are a group of ventriloquist dummies who live at the Second Chance Antiques, led by a dummy who wears a red bow tie and work as loyal servants for the talking doll Gabby Gabby, obeying her every command without question.

The red-tied dummy is first seen taking Gabby in her stroller while Woody and Forky were looking for Bo Peep in the store. Then, Woody meets Gabby and Benson and when the doll sees that Woody has a voice box, they coerce Woody and Forky into joining them. Sensing an ulterior motive from Gabby Gabby, Woody flees the shop. Gabby Gabby then sends her dummies to chase them and they manage to capture Forky. The Bensons are then later seen patrolling the shelf, turning their heads around as they guard Gabby Gabby and their captive Forky from intruders.

While Woody with the help of Bo, Buzz Lightyear, Giggle McDimples, Ducky and Bunny, Duke Caboom, and Billy, Goat, and Gruff are trying to recover Forky, the dummies surprise them and Woody nearly got his voice box stolen. The group fails their mission and after an argument with his friends, with Bo being indirectly insulted by Woody's remarks, Woody decides to return to find Forky alone. He then confronts Gabby Gabby and she convinces him to give her his voice box in exchange for Forky, Woody having been moved by Gabby's backstory. Gabby, happy to have a new voice box, keeps his word and makes Forky go to Woody. Forky then greets Gabby Gabby and Benson and points out that he scares him. However, when Harmony, the girl Gabby dreamed of playing so much, did not like her, the doll loses hope and tells Woody (who came back to comfort her) that it was over for her. With Bo, Woody manages to convince her to be with Bonnie. Everyone then leaves the antique shop and the first Benson gives the stroller a boost before entering it. However, the stroller stumbles against a fairground barrier and falls to the ground. A lady then runs to straighten the stroller and sees Benson which makes her scream in terror. The Bensons then are not seen again and it is unknown if the Benson in the stroller was brought back to the antique store.

**Mr. Incredible and Pals** is a short film directed by Roger L. Gould and Brad Bird. The film was released on March 15, 2005.

## Plot

The episode begins with Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Mr. Skipperdoo looking over the site of the West River Bridge, which has been stolen, leaving cars stuck on both sides of the river. When Mr. Skipperdoo finds a rivet from the missing bridge, Mr. Incredible discovers it is radioactive and denounces the culprit to be the villainess Lady Lightbug (described by Mr. Incredible as "sinister, yet lovely"). Vowing to amend the situation, Frozone builds a temporary bridge of ice to keep the traffic going, and the three skate away to find their nemesis.

Arriving at an abandoned fairground, Mr. Incredible searches for Lady Lightbug by lifting up various objects but cannot find her under any of them. Mr. Skipperdoo hops to point out that the missing bridge is above him. Suddenly, Lady Lightbug flies out and informs them all of her evil plan to steal the free world's bridges, creating massive traffic jams and thus destroying their economies. She then proceeds to shoot a line of radioactive silk out of her abdomen, ensnaring Frozone. Mr. Incredible throws a Ferris wheel at her, to which she dodges. He then hops in a roller coaster, which takes off flying toward Lady Lightbug. Mr. Incredible then knocks her out of the air, defeating her.

The missing bridge is restored and everything returns to normal thanks to Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Mr. Skipperdoo; Mr. Incredible adds, "and democracy." Meanwhile, on top of the bridge, Lady Lightbug is trapped in a large jar and imprecates the heroes for her imprisonment. The end of the episode features a brief teaser of the next episode which features a gigantic anthropomorphic ear of corn yelling, “I’ll crush you, Mr. Incredible!” before laughing evilly as the two prepare to fight.
