Little Bear's Adventures with Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

***Little Bear's Adventures with Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over*** is the third upcoming Little Bear/Spy Kids crossover to be made by Hiatt Grey. And it is the sequel to *Little Bear's Adventures with Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams*.

## Plot

Juni Cortez has retired from the OSS, working as a private detective. He is contacted by US President Devlin, former head of the OSS, who informs him that his sister Carmen has vanished whilst on a mission. Juni arrives at the OSS, reuniting with a reformed Donnagon Giggles and his wife Francesca, who explains that Carmen was captured by the Toymaker, a former OSS informant. He was imprisoned in cyberspace years earlier, but has created Game Over, a virtual reality-based video game, which he intends on using to escape back to reality when a gamer wins the unbeatable Level 5. Juni agrees to go into Game Over, find Carmen, and stop the Toymaker.

In the game, Juni learns he has nine lives, quickly losing one on the first level. He meets three beta testers, Francis, Arnold, and Rez, who give him passage to the Moon, which serves as Level 2. On the Moon, Juni is informed that he can summon an ally into the game to help. He chooses his paraplegic grandfather Valentin, who has personal history with the Toymaker. With a power up, Valentin gains a robotic body suit that allows him to walk. Juni participates in a robot battle arena, battling and defeating a girl named Demetra.

Juni meets the beta testers again, who believe he is “The Guy”, a legendary player who will beat Level 5. Rez is unconvinced, challenging Juni to participate in a high stakes race. He wins with help from Valentin, meeting Demetra again, who joins the group. The group proceed to Level 3, where Juni and Arnold have to battle in a death duel. Juni nearly loses, but Demetra steps in, sacrificing herself to let him continue.

On Level 4, Juni reunites with Carmen. She explains to him that the Toymaker was responsible for Valentin’s condition. The group reach a lava-filled gorge, believing they have to reach the end by surfing down the river. Donnagon and Francesca fear Valentin will seek revenge against the Toymaker, and they sabotage the game to kill the players. However, the lava proves to be harmless. The group reach the door to Level 5, meeting “The Guy”, who has one hundred lives. He leads them into Level 5, only to instantly lose all lives to a trap.

Inside, they encounter Demetra, who claims she managed to return through a glitch. Carmen identifies her as the Deceiver, a program designed to trick players. Demetra confirms this to a devastated Juni. The Toymaker appears in a mecha, revealing Level 5 is his prison, now freed thanks to the players entering. Valentin unlocks the door to the real world, with Demetra holding it open so everyone can escape. Juni, Carmen, and Valentin awaken in the OSS, assuming the Toymaker is still imprisoned. However, the Toymaker’s army of robots appear in a nearby city. Valentin reveals he deliberately freed the Toymaker.

Juni and Carmen race to the city, finding it overwhelmed by the robots. The two summon their family members: Parents Gregorio and Ingrid, Gregorio's brother Machete, their Grandmother, and Uncle Felix. With too many robots to handle, Juni calls out for everyone to help, summoning characters from the first two films (including Fegan Floop, Alexander Minion, Dinky Winks, his son, Romero the scientist, Gary Giggles, and Gerti Giggles). All of the robots are destroyed except for the Toymaker's. Valentin confronts the Toymaker, and forgives the Toymaker for what he did to him, something Valentin had been trying to do for 30 years; the Toymaker shuts down his robot. The film ends with the whole cast of the three films celebrating by doing a hand-stack.
