Timeline
In an alternate history, the asteroid that would have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago passes safety over Earth.
In the 1930s, shy eight-year-old Carl Fredricksen (Jeremy Leary) idolizes famous explorer Charles F. Muntz. When Muntz is accused of fabricating the skeleton of a giant exotic bird he says he discovered at Paradise Falls, he vows not to return until he captures one alive. One day, Carl befriends a girl named Ellie (Elizabeth Docter), also a Muntz fan. She confides to Carl her desire to move her "clubhouse" — an abandoned house in the neighborhood — to a cliff overlooking Paradise Falls. Carl and Ellie grow up, marry and live in the restored house. After Ellie suffers a miscarriage and they are told they cannot have a child, the couple remembers their childhood dream of visiting Paradise Falls. They save for the trip, but repeatedly have to spend the money on more pressing needs.
Dory (Sloane Murray, 7), a regal blue tang, gets separated from her parents, Jenny (Diane Keaton, 70–73) and Charlie (Eugene Levy, 69–72), as a child. Sixty-five million years later, Apatosaurus farmers Henry (Jeffrey Wright, 50–53) and Ida (Frances McDormand, 59–61) have children Libby (Maleah Padilla), Buck (Marcus Scribner, 16), and the runt Arlo (Raymond Ochoa, 14–17) who has trouble adjusting to farm life. Within their mind's Headquarters, five personifications of their basic emotions — Joy (Amy Poehler, 44–47), Sadness (Phyllis Smith, 64–67), Fear (Bill Hader, 38–41), Disgust (Mindy Kaling, 37–39), and Anger (Lewis Black, 67–70) — come to life and influence their actions via a control console. As they grow up, their experiences become memories, stored in colored orbs, which are sent into long-term memory each night. Their five most important "core memories" (all happy ones) are housed in a hub; each powers an aspect of her personality (as representing seasons and nature that represents every project from the Tinker Bell revival collection) which takes the form of floating islands (Family Island – Nature Island (for the whole Tinker Bell revival collection, especially for Zootopia & Tinker Bell's NeverZootropolis Legend), Friendship Island – Springtime Island (for The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell), Hockey Island – Summer Island (for Winnie the Pooh & Tinker Bell's Midsummer Rescue), Honesty Island – Autumn Island (for Tangled & Muppets & Fairies' Autumn Treasure), and Goofball Island – Winter Island (for Frozen & Muppets & Fairies' Wintry Secret + Frozen Fever & Muppetational Winged Pirate). Joy acts as a de facto leader, and since she and the other emotions do not understand Sadness' purpose, she tries to keep Sadness away from the console.
Finally, the now elderly Carl arranges for the trip but Ellie suddenly falls ill and dies. As she grows up, Dory attempts to search for them, but gradually forget them due to her short-term memory loss. In the flashback of the previous film, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres, 58–61) joins Marlin (Albert Brooks, 68–71) – a clownfish looking for his missing son Nemo – after accidentally swimming into him.

July 2016
Many centuries ago, a large tidal wave triggered by a distant explosion threatens to drown the island of Atlantis. In the midst of an evacuation from the capital city, the Queen of Atlantis is caught by a strange, hypnotic blue light and lifted up into the "Heart of Atlantis", a powerful crystal protecting the city. The crystal consumes her and creates a dome barrier that protects the city's innermost district. She leaves behind her young daughter, Princess Kida (Cree Summer, 33–34), as the island sinks beneath the ocean. Michael "Mike" Wazowski (Noah Johnston), a young 7-year-old monster, aspires to become a scarer (a monster who enters the human world at night to scare children and harvest their screams for energy) when he grows up after visiting Monsters Inc., Monstropolis' most profitable scaring company, on a school field trip. In the small town of Oakey Oaks, Chicken Little (Zach Braff, 31–34) rings the school bell and warns everyone to run for their lives. This sends the whole town into a frenzied panic. Eventually, the Head of the Fire Department calms down enough to ask him what's going on, and he explains that a piece of the sky shaped like a stop sign had fallen on his head when he was sitting under the big oak tree in the town square; however, he is unable to find the piece. His father, Buck Cluck (Garry Marshall, 71–74), assumes that this "piece of sky" was just an acorn that had fallen off the tree and had hit him on the head, making Chicken Little the laughing stock of the town.
Scrat (Chris Wedge, 59–62) is once again trying to bury his acorn but accidentally activates an abandoned alien ship that takes him into deep space, where he unwittingly sends several asteroids en route to a collision with Earth. Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson, 47–50) is now a seven-time Piston Cup racing legend. Since winning the Wings Around the Globe race in the first film, Dusty Crophopper (Dane Cook, 44–47) has had a successful career as a racer.
In 1482 Paris, Clopin (Paul Kandel, 45–48), a gypsy puppeteer, narrates the origin of the titular hunchback. A group of gypsies sneak illegally into Paris, but are ambushed by Judge Claude Frollo (Tony Jay, 63–66), the Minister of Justice of Paris, and his soldiers. A gypsy woman (Mary Kay Bergman, 35) in the group attempts to flee with her deformed baby, but Frollo chases and kills her outside Notre Dame. He tries to kill the baby as well, but the cathedral's archdeacon (David Ogden Stiers, 53–56) intervenes and accuses Frollo of murdering an innocent woman. To atone for his sin, Frollo reluctantly agrees to raise the deformed child in Notre Dame as his son, naming him "Quasimodo".
On Fifth Avenue, an orphaned kitten named Oliver (Joey Lawrence, 12–13) is left abandoned after his fellow orphaned kittens are adopted by passersby.
Taking place right before the events of Frozen & Muppets & Fairies' Wintry Secret, the flashback shows that the Arendelle's princesses, Elsa (Eva Bella, 11 (archive voices and unused audio recordings) and Anna (Livvy Stubenrauch, 8 (archive voices and unused audio recordings) were children and they were playing. King Agnarr (Alfred Molina, 63–66) of Arendelle told a story that their grandfather, King Runeard (Jeremy Sisto, 41–44), founder and first king of Arendelle, established a treaty with the tribe of Northuldra by building a dam in Northuldra's homeland, the Enchanted Forest. However, a fight occurs, resulting in Runeard's death. The battle enrages the spirits of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth of the forest. The spirits disappear and a wall of mist traps everyone in the forest. Runeard's 14-year-old son Prince Agnarr (Jackson Stein) barely escapes with the help of an unknown savior. After King Agnarr told the story, Queen Iduna (Evan Rachel Wood, 28–31) sang a lullaby of a mythical river called Ahtohallan which contain all explanations of the past.
Like the other fairies, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman, 23–25) attends fairy camp in the meadows of England. The Frozen Ever After ride commemorates the anniversary of the day Princess Anna (Kristen Bell, 36–38) saved her older sister, Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel, 45–48), with an unselfish act of true love, thus thawing a frozen heart and ending the eternal winter. To celebrate the event, Elsa bestowed an Official Summer Snow Day upon the Arendelle citizenry, inspiring the amusement ride. Advertisements promoting the winter festival are visible to guests as they queue for the ride. Guests travel through Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna, where they find Oaken (Chris Williams, 47–48) in the sauna waving to them. Riders next board a boat and sail off into a winter wonderland, where they encounter Olaf (Josh Gad, 35–38) the snowman and Sven the reindeer greeting guests with a rendition of Do You Want to Build a Snowman? Guests then pass Grand Pabbie (Ciarán Hinds, 63–66) as he recounts the story of the film to a group of young trolls.Eleven years later, Mike (Billy Crystal, 68–71) is a first-year scare major at Monsters University, where he meets fellow monsters, Randall "Randy" Boggs (Steve Buscemi, 58–60) and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman, 64–66). Mike studies hard, while the privileged Sulley, coming from a family of talented scarers, relies only on his natural ability and begins to falter. A year later, Chicken Little has become infamous in the town for being crazy. His only friends are outcasts like himself: Abby Mallard (Joan Cusack, 43–46) (who has a crush on him), Runt of the Litter (Steve Zahn, 38–41) (who ironically is extremely large), and Fish Out of Water (Dan Molina) (who wears a helmet full of tap water).
Riders next ascend a lift towards Elsa's ice palace. When they reach the top, they find Olaf ice skating and singing, For the First Time in Forever, failing comically with the lyrics. Guests soon pass a singing Anna and Kristoff (Jonathan Groff, 31–34), the kingdom's ice harvester, while Sven sits on the side with his tongue stuck to a pole. When Tink attempts to go find some lost things, Vidia (Pamela Adlon, 45–47) asks her if she's going to the human house, which isn't far from camp. The question makes Tink curious and eventually sneaks off. Vidia follows behind to watch over her. When she reaches the house, she is amazed by their "horseless carriage". She takes the time to flitter around under the car, while Vidia tries to get her to leave.As the semester progresses, Mike and Sulley attempt to join a fraternity, but only Sulley is accepted into Roar Omega Roar, the strongest fraternity on campus.
Eventually they do, but on their way back to camp, Tink and Vidia stumble upon a fairy-sized house made by Lizzy (Lauren Mote, 14), a human girl who wishes to meet a real fairy. Tink immediately heads in to investigate, despite Vidia's constant warnings. Tink claims it to be perfectly safe, so Vidia slams the door shut in an attempt to scare her but unintentionally locks Tink inside. When Lizzy begins to approach the house, Vidia tries to free Tink to no avail. Lizzy discovers Tink inside and takes her to her home. She prepares to show Tink to her father, Dr. Griffiths (Michael Sheen, 42), a very busy and serious scientist, but upon seeing all the butterflies he has pinned in display for research, she decides to keep Tink a secret. Meanwhile, Vidia rallies Rosetta (Megan Hilty, 32), Iridessa (Raven-Symoné, 25–27), Fawn (Ginnifer Goodwin, 38–41), Silvermist (Lucy Liu, 42–44), Clank (Jeff Bennett, 48–51) and Bobble (Rob Paulsen, 55–57) to rescue Tink. They try to sail on a stream which would take them straight to the Griffiths' house.
Two gates open and guests see Elsa, who is singing Let It Go while conjuring ice. The boats and riders then accelerate backwards, passing images of Elsa creating the ice palace.
Back at the human house, Lizzy reveals her fascination of fairies. Tink is flattered by her obsession and since Tink can't leave the house because it's raining outside, she decides to teach her nearly everything about fairies. They record their information in a new research book given to Lizzy by her father. During this time, they have grown a great friendship. Guests reach Anna, Elsa, and Olaf, who are singing In Summer.McQueen and the other veterans of the Piston Cup, suddenly find themselves being displaced by the next-generation rookies such as Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer, 29–32), outfitted with the latest technology to break speed records.
When their ship goes over a waterfall, Silvermist manipulates the water to create a mid-air stream. While this does save their lives, the boat is wrecked. The fairies continue on foot but upon crossing a mudbank, Vidia gets stuck waist deep. While Clank and Bobble try to find something to pull her out, the other fairies are nearly run over by a car but are saved when Iridessa blinds the driver, who then vacates the car, giving the girls a chance to get Vidia out by grabbing onto the driver's shoelace.
Meanwhile, Vidia confesses to the rescue team that it was her fault that Tink has been captured. They comfort Vidia about the situation, informing her that it could have been worse without her presence. Once the rescue team finally reaches the human house, they are attacked by Lizzy's pet cat, Mr. Twitches. Guests next encounter Marshmallow (Paul Briggs, 41–44) and the Snowgies. The boat moves forward as Marshmallow spits out mist, passing through the mist, and down a short drop. Riders then pass Arendelle Castle with fireworks bursting over top.
After a while, the rain dies down, and Tink is able to return to camp. She gives Lizzy a hug and makes her way out and she leaves.
They return to the village and disembark._
August 2016
Trying to help, Abby encourages Chicken Little to talk to Buck, but he really only wants to make Buck proud of him. At the semester's final exam, a fight between Mike and Sulley causes them to accidentally break Dean Abigail Hardscrabble's (Helen Mirren, 71–73) cherished Scream Can. Hardscrabble fails both of them immediately, stating that Sulley does not study enough, and Mike is not scary enough. As the season progresses, the amount of new racers begin to increase, resulting in many veterans either retiring, or being fired by their sponsors, to make for the new generation.
Twenty years later, Quasimodo (Tom Hulce, 42–45) develops into a kind yet isolated young man who has lived inside the cathedral his entire life. A trio of living stone gargoyles–Victor (Charles Kimbrough, 60–63), Hugo (Jason Alexander, 36–39), and Laverne (Mary Wickes, aged 85)–serve as Quasimodo's only company, and encourage him to attend the annually-held Festival of Fools. Meanwhile, Manny (Ray Romano, 58–61) and Ellie (Queen Latifah, 46–48) are preparing upcoming marriage between Peaches (Keke Palmer, 23–25) and her fiancé, Julian (Adam DeVine, 32–35).

Autumn 2016
September 2016
While his successful siblings are allowed to "make their mark" (a mud-print on the family's corn silo), Arlo's timid nature makes tasks difficult for him. When Sadness begins touching their happy memories, turning them sad, Joy tries to guard them by isolating her. Diego (Denis Leary, 59–61) and his wife Shira (Jennifer Lopez, 47–49) want to start a family, but their fierce appearance tends to scare kids. Sid (John Leguizamo, 52–54) is dumped by his girlfriend, Francine (Melissa Rauch, 36), just as he is about to propose to her, and he laments his solitude.

October 2016
Henry attempts to give Arlo a sense of purpose by putting him in charge of guarding their silo, and helps him set a trap. Despite Frollo's warnings that he would be shunned for his deformity, Quasimodo attends the festival and is celebrated for his awkward appearance, only to be humiliated by the crowd after Frollo's men start a riot. The trap captures a feral caveboy (Jack Bright) but Arlo doesn't have the heart to kill him, and sets him free. Frollo refuses to help Quasimodo, but Esmeralda (Demi Moore, 33–36), a kind gypsy, intervenes by freeing the hunchback, and uses a magic trick to evade arrest. Frollo confronts Quasimodo and sends him back inside the cathedral. Disappointed, Henry takes Arlo to track the caveboy, leading them into a ravine. Henry saves Arlo from a flash flood before being swept away and killed. Without his father, Arlo shoulders more of the workload.

November 2016
Then, in the last race of the season at Los Angeles International Speedway, McQueen tries to catch up to Storm and the leaders. Sadness accidentally created a sad core memory. Joy, panicking, tries to dispose of it, but accidentally knocks the other core memories loose during a struggle with Sadness, deactivating the personality islands. Dusty's engine's gearbox becomes damaged because Dusty routinely operates the engine beyond its design limits. One of McQueen's back tires blows up, his engine overheats, and he loses control and gets himself into a violent, near-fatal rollover crash, leaving him badly injured. Joy, Sadness, and the core memories are sucked out of Headquarters and taken to the maze-like storage area of long-term memory.
Four months before later, while recovering in Radiator Springs, McQueen isolates himself from his friends and spends his time watching footage of his late mentor, Doc Hudson (Paul Newman, aged 83 (unused audio recordings)) whose career ended in a similar accident, and McQueen fears that he might meet that same fate. With that particular model of gearbox now out of production and none available anywhere, Dusty's mechanic Dottie (Teri Hatcher, 51–54) fits a warning light to his control panel to ensure he doesn't damage his gearbox any further. Arlo spots the same caveboy inside the silo and, blaming him for his father's death, chases him until both fall into a river. Arlo cannot swim, and is swept downstream where he hits his head on a rock and is knocked unconscious. Awakening, Arlo finds himself far from home and tries to survive on his own, but becomes trapped when a boulder pins his leg. No longer able to race and faced with the possibility of returning to his old job as a crop-duster, Dusty goes on a defiant flight and tests his limits. In doing so, Dusty exceeds his limits and makes a forced landing at Propwash Junction airport, causing a fire. The residents put out the fire with some difficulty, but the accident leads government inspector Ryker (Kevin Michael Richardson, 52–54) to condemn the airport for inadequate firefighting personnel. Anger, Fear, and Disgust try to maintain their happiness in Joy's absence with disastrous results, distancing her from her hobbies. As a result, her personality islands (starting with "Winter Island") gradually crumble and fall, one by one, into the "Memory Dump", an abyss where memories are forgotten. McQueen receives some encouragement from his girlfriend, Sally (Bonnie Hunt, 55–57) and he decides to continue racing.
Disney Castle – a proud, majestic structure, its residents consumed in the hustle and bustle of the usual morning activities. It was a day like no other... or was it? As Donald Duck (Tony Anselmo, 56–59), the Court Mage, walks briskly towards His Majesty's throne with his daily greeting halfway out of his mouth, he is shocked to discover the room, empty, and the King, missing. Pluto (Bill Farmer, 64–66), the King's beloved canine companion, emerges from behind the throne, with a mysterious scroll bearing the royal seal in his mouth. A quick scan of the scroll's contents easily sends Donald into a panic, and he dashes out with a cry of alarm. Donald quickly locates the Captain of the Royal Guard, Goofy (Bill Farmer, 64–66), sleeping out in the gardens without a care in the world. It takes a powerful bolt of lightning and a very frustrated mage to stir him from his slumber. He relays the news to Goofy, and decides that they must not worry Queen Minnie (Russi Taylor, 72) or Lady Daisy (Tress MacNeille, 65). At least, that's what they had planned until they were found out by the aforementioned two.
On the Polynesian island of Motunui, the inhabitants worship the goddess Te Fiti, who brought life to the ocean using a pounamu stone as her heart and the source of her power. Maui (Dwayne Johnson, 44), the shapeshifting demigod and master of sailing, steals the heart to give humanity the power of creation. However, Te Fiti disintegrates, and Maui is attacked by another who seeks the heart: Te Kā, a volcanic demon. Maui is blasted out of the sky, losing both his magical giant fishhook and the heart to the depths of the sea.
A millennium later, the ocean chooses Moana (Auli'i Cravalho, 16), daughter of Motunui's chief Tui (Temuera Morrison, 55), to return the heart to Te Fiti. Tui takes Moana away, causing her to lose the heart. Tui and Sina (Nicole Scherzinger, 38), Moana's mother, try to keep her away from the ocean to prepare her for ascension as the island's chief. Sixteen years later, a blight strikes the island, killing vegetation and shrinking the fish catch. Moana suggests going beyond the island's reef to find more fish and figure out what is happening, but Tui forbids it. Moana tries conquering the reef but is overpowered by the tides and shipwrecked back to Motunui with Pua the pig.
Moana's grandmother Tala (Rachel House, 45) shows her a secret cave of ships, revealing that their people were voyagers until Maui stole Te Fiti's heart; the ocean was no longer safe without it. Tala explains that Te Kā's darkness is poisoning the island, but can be cured if Moana finds Maui and makes him restore the heart of Te Fiti, which she gives to Moana. Tala falls ill and, on her death bed, tells Moana that she must depart to find Maui.
Setting sail on a camakau from the cavern, Moana is caught in a typhoon and shipwrecked on an island where she finds Maui, who boasts about his achievements. She demands that Maui return the heart, but he refuses and traps her in a cave. She escapes and confronts Maui, who reluctantly lets her on the camakau. They are attacked by Kakamora – small, coconut-armored pirates – who seek the heart, but Moana and Maui outwit them. Moana realizes Maui is no longer a hero since he stole the heart and cursed the world, and convinces him to redeem himself by returning the heart. Maui first needs to retrieve his magical fishhook in Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters, from Tamatoa (Jemaine Clement, 42–45), a giant coconut crab. While Moana distracts Tamatoa, Maui retrieves his hook but discovers he can no longer control his shapeshifting. He is overpowered by Tamatoa, but Moana's quick thinking allows them to escape with the hook. Maui reveals that his first tattoo was earned when his mortal parents rejected him. After reassurance from Moana, Maui teaches her the art of sailing, regaining control of his powers, and the two grow closer.
They arrive at Te Fiti's island, only to be attacked by Te Kā. Moana refuses to turn back, resulting in Maui's hook being badly damaged. Unwilling to lose his hook in another confrontation with Te Kā, Maui abandons Moana, who tearfully asks the ocean to find someone else to restore the heart. The ocean obliges and takes the heart, but Tala's spirit appears, inspiring Moana to find her true calling. She retrieves the heart and sails back to confront Te Kā. Maui returns, having had a change of heart, and buys Moana time to reach Te Fiti by fighting Te Kā, destroying his hook in the process. Moana discovers Te Fiti is missing, and realizes Te Kā is Te Fiti, corrupted without her heart. Moana tells the ocean to clear a path, allowing her to return Te Fiti's heart, and the restored goddess heals the ocean and islands of the blight. Maui apologizes to Te Fiti, who restores his hook and gives Moana a new boat before falling into a deep sleep and becoming a mountain.
Moana bids farewell to Maui, returning home where she reunites with her parents.____________

December 2016
In London in June 1897, a young mouse named Olivia Flaversham (Susanne Pollatschek, 9–12) is celebrating her birthday with her toymaker father, Hiram (Alan Young, 67–69). Suddenly, Fidget (Candy Candido, 72–74), a bat with a crippled wing and a peg leg bursts into the Flaversham's workshop, kidnapping Hiram. Roddy St. James (Hugh Jackman, 38–40) is an upper class pet rat who makes his home in a posh Kensington flat. While his owners are away on holiday, Roddy plays around the house. A common sewer rat named Sid (Shane Richie, 42–45) come spewing out of the sink and decides to stay, especially as England is playing against Germany in the World Cup final. Roddy schemes to get rid of Sid by luring him the "jacuzzi", which is actually the toilet. Sid is not fooled and throws Roddy in and flushes him away into the sewer. There, Roddy discovers a city resembling London, Ratropolis, made out of various bits of junk, and meets Rita Malone (Kate Winslet, 31–33), an enterprising scavenger rat who works the drains in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Rita's irritated by Roddy initially, but ends up taking him along, while her arch enemy the Toad (Ian McKellen, 67–69) sends his rat henchmen, Spike (Andy Serkis, 42–44) and Whitey (Bill Nighy, 56–59), after her because she had stolen back her father's prized ruby a long time ago. The Toad loathes all rodents to the point of hateful obsession, and plans to have Roddy and Rita frozen with liquid nitrogen inside an ice maker. The pair escape, and Rita takes a unique electrical cable that, unknown to everyone but the Toad, is required to control the floodgates. Roddy finds that the ruby is a fake and breaks it in front of Rita, enraging her, for she cannot now get the money she needs for her large family. Roddy offers her a real ruby if she takes him back to Kensington. They accept their offer.
In 1914, Milo Thatch (Michael J. Fox, 40–42), a cartographer and linguist at the Smithsonian Institution who is marginalized for his research on Atlantis, believes that he has found The Shepherd's Journal, an ancient manuscript that contains directions to the lost island. The museum board declines his proposal to search for the journal. In the land of Prydain, Taran (Grant Bardsley, 20–23) is an "assistant pig-keeper" on the small farm of Caer Dallben, home of Dallben (Freddie Jones, 59–61) the Enchanter. Dallben learns that the Horned King (John Hurt, 47–48) is searching for a mystical relic known as the Black Cauldron, which is capable of creating an invincible army of undead warriors, the "Cauldron-Born". Dallben fears the Horned King may try to steal his pig Hen Wen, which has oracular powers, and use her to locate the cauldron. Dallben directs Taran to take Hen Wen to safety. The next day Arlo wakes to find his leg has been freed, and the caveboy appears with food for him.
During Manny and Ellie's wedding anniversary party, some of the asteroids strike the place and The Herd barely escape.

Spring 2017
February 2017 (before March 2017)
Jack Frost (Chris Pine, 36–38) awakens from a frozen pond with amnesia. Upon realizing no one can see or hear him, he disappears.
With everyone now fully aware of the rather dire situation at hand, Donald volunteers himself and Captain Goofy to go out in search of their King and this mysterious Key. Joining them as well is Jiminy Cricket (Joe Ochman, 62–63), a refugee from another world who fled to the castle when his world was destroyed, serving as the recorder for their journey. The trio makes their way to the Gummi Hangar, where engineers Chip (Tress MacNeille, 65) and Dale (Corey Burton, 61) have prepared a ship for their travels. With Pluto serving as a last minute addition to their party, they bravely set off into the ocean of worlds, and their adventure begins.
On the planet Montressor, a young Jim Hawkins (Austin Majors, 7) is enchanted by stories of the legendary pirate Captain Nathaniel Flint and his ability to appear from nowhere, raid passing ships, and disappear in order to hide the loot on the mysterious "Treasure Planet". Doctor Jumba Jookiba (David Ogden Stiers, 59–61), an extraterrestrial mad scientist, is on trial by the Galactic Federation for illegal genetic experimentation, evidenced by his creation "Experiment 626" (Chris Sanders, 39–42), a small blue sentient creature with unparalleled intelligence and strength, but also a propensity to cause chaos. Jumba is imprisoned while the creature is sentenced to exile on a desert asteroid. "626" manages to escape on a red police spaceship, and activates the hyperdrive, causing its guidance systems to malfunction and randomly set a course for Earth. 626 crash-lands on Kauaʻi, Hawaii only to be knocked unconscious by three passing trucks and taken to an animal shelter. The Grand Councilwoman (Zoe Caldwell, 68–70) dispatches Jumba and Agent Pleakley (Kevin McDonald, 40–42), the Council's Earth expert, to the planet to have 626 captured discreetly, as Earth is the habitat for the supposedly "endangered" mosquito population, and humans are described as being unable to handle an alien encounter formally.
Three hundred years later, at the North Pole, the Man in the Moon warns Nicholas St. North (Alec Baldwin, 58–61) that Pitch Black (Jude Law, 44–46) is threatening the children of the world with his nightmares. He calls E. Aster Bunnymund (Hugh Jackman, 48–50), Sandy, and Tooth (Isla Fisher, 40–43), to arms. Meanwhile, at the underground lost world, Buck (Simon Pegg, 47–49) returns a dinosaur egg back to its rightful owner after it was stolen by a trio of flying dromaeosaurs named Gavin (Nick Offerman, 46–48), Gertie (Stephanie Beatriz, 36–38), and Roger (Max Greenfield, 37–39). Buck discovers an ancient stone pillar.

March 2017
Aggrieved at his carelessness, Dusty offers to undergo training to be certified as a firefighter to meet the necessary regulations to reopen the airport. McQueen call his sponsors from Rust-eze, Rusty (Tom Magliozzi, aged 77 (archive recordings)) and Dusty (Ray Magliozzi, 67), who surprise him by telling him they opened a new state-of-the-art training center known as the Rust-eze Racing Center. To that end, Dusty travels to Piston Peak National Park. On Kauaʻi, a young woman named Nani Pelekai (Tia Carrere, 35–37) has been struggling with caring for her rambunctious, disobedient, and lonely younger sister, Lilo (Daveigh Chase, 11–13), following the death of their parents. Preceding Sora's first venture into another world is the arrival of Donald and Goofy into Traverse Town, a nocturnal bastion whose sky is always lit with the stars that are the many other external worlds. As the two look up, one of those lights winks out and they resolve to hurry onward, searching for a key, and a man named Leon who might have more information. As Donald and Goofy head one way round an accessories shop, their accompanying dog Pluto heads the other way, tracking down Sora at the end of an alley. McQueen reveals that Dusty and Rusty have sold the team to a new owner, Sterling (Nathan Fillion, 45–47). There, McQueen meets Sterling, and is assigned to train under Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo, 38–40). Olivia searches to find the famed Great Mouse Detective named Basil of Baker Street (Barrie Ingham, 55–57), but gets lost. Our lost protagonist makes his way to the nearby accessory shop, wherein he meets Cid, who tells Sora about Traverse Town and promises to look out for him. Further into the town, in the Second District, Sora witness first-hand a man losing himself to the Heartless, face fear-stricken as his Heart floats away to be consumed by darkness. After being confronted by more enemies, Sora proceeds through various places in the Second District, Donald and Goofy just missing him at each step. Sora wanders the entire town while Donald and Goofy are unsuccessful in tracking him down. As Sora returns to the accessory shop, he is confronted by an enigmatic man with a weapon almost bizarre as his own, who defeats Sora. A black-haired girl in unusual garb approaches the man – Leon – and congratulates him in finding 'it', the Keyblade. Sora is taken back to the hotel where he mistakes the ninja girl Yuffie for Kairi as she is telling him why he is hunted by the Heartless. Nearby, in another room, Aerith is talking to Donald and Goofy about how all the worlds have recently been connected, the two parties mirroring each others' conversation until Heartless ambush the hotel.
Dusty meets a fire and rescue crew under the command of a helicopter named Blade Ranger (Ed Harris, 66–68). Sora moves the combat to the Third District, where an attacked Donald and Goofy finally meet him, immediately after being sealed into the area where they are confronted by the massive Guard Armor. The leader of an efficient unit, Blade is initially unimpressed by the small newcomer and Dusty's training proves to be a difficult challenge. After destroying its limbs, the newly-formed party deals the final blow to the enemy's head, and are later able to properly acquaint themselves, Goofy offering to let Sora travel with them across various worlds. Maru (Curtis Armstrong, 63–65), the team's mechanic, replaces Dusty's original undercarriage with two pontoons fitted with retractable undercarriage wheels for his new role as a single engine air tanker firefighter. Meanwhile, a group of Disney Villains seek out the sixteen Princesses of Heart (including the whole fairy gang from a Pixie Hollow) to unlock the final keyhole that leads to Kingdom Hearts, a repository of knowledge and power, and the source of all hearts. Jack, as the young Spirit of Winter, enjoys delivering snow days to school kids, but resents that they do not believe in him. A surgeon named Dr. David Q. Dawson (Val Bettin, 63–65), who has just returned from a lengthy service of the Mouse Queen's (Eve Brenner) 66th Regiment in Afghanistan, meets Olivia, and escorts her to Basil's residence. Lewis (Jordan Fry, 13–16) is an aspiring 12-year-old inventor at an orphanage whose inventions have been scaring off potential parents. He decides that his mother, who abandoned him at the orphanage as an infant, is the only one who ever truly loved him and works on a machine to scan his memory to locate her.
The three go to various Disney-inspired worlds, finding that the Keyblade also locks "Keyholes" in the worlds that, when sealed, prevent the "heart" of those worlds from being consumed by the Heartless.
The party's journey began with them trying to follow a clock-carrying White Rabbit (Jeff Bennett, 54) that seemed to be in an awful hurry. In order to track him down, they had to fit into a tiny doorway, guarded by, to their surprise, a speaking doorknob (Corey Burton, 61). The doorknob explained that in order to pass, they must become small and pointed them in the direction of two magical potions. One sip was enough to shrink the part, allowing them to continue.
They reached the royal court of that world's sovereign, the Queen of Hearts (April Winchell, 57). The Queen had no time for them as she was in the middle of conducting a trial for a young girl called Alice (Hynden Walch, 46–47). She was put on trial for the charges of attempting to steal the Queen's Heart, while it was obvious the Heartless were the true culprits. As such, it was no longer meddling in the affairs of other worlds so much as fulfilling their duty, and the trio set out to prove who's truly to blame – otherwise it was off with all their heads!
They began their search in the Lotus Forest where they met the Cheshire Cat (Jim Cummings, 64), a peculiar fellow who could change his body's visibility at will. Albeit in riddles, he pointed Sora in the right direction on his quest for proof of Alice's innocence.
Before long, all the necessary evidence was collected and displayed before the Queen. As Sora went against the Queen's wishes, however, they're all found guilty and the Queen's loyal Card Soldiers attempted to seize them.
In the midst of the battle, Alice went missing from her cage. Sora, Donald and Goofy are to find her as well as the kidnapper. The Cheshire Cat helped in his unique manner again, implying that due to the Heartless, the world has been twisted. Despite up being down and right-side being up at times, the group still managed to find the Heartless' leader on that world and do away with it.
All the commotion woke the doorknob from its nap up. In the middle of a long yawn a Keyhole shone from within its mouth, and Sora's Keyblade responded immediately, locking it. Alice, however, was no longer to be found in Wonderland. Hoping she might be in another world, the trio left on their Gummi Ship.Taking his memory scanner to his school's science fair, Lewis meets Wilbur Robinson (Wesley Singerman, 16–18), a mysterious 13-year-old boy claiming to be a time cop from the future. Wilbur needs to recover a time machine that a man wearing a bowler hat has stolen. Lewis tries to demonstrate the scanner, but it has been sabotaged and falls apart, throwing the science fair into chaos. Upset, Lewis leaves while the Bowler Hat Guy (Stephen J. Anderson, 37–39), with the help of a robotic bowler hat named Doris (Ethan Sandler, 34–36), repairs and steals the scanner.

April 2017
A social worker named Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames, 42–44) expresses increasing concern whether Nani is able to take adequate care of her sister. Upon their arrival, Basil is initially indifferent, but when Olivia mentions the peg-legged bat that kidnapped her father, Basil realizes that Olivia saw Fidget, a henchman of Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price, 75–77), a villain that Basil has attempted to arrest for years. It is then revealed that Ratigan kidnapped Hiram to create a clockwork robot, which mimics the Queen of the Mice so that Ratigan can rule England. Hiram initially refuses to participate in the scheme, but capitulates when Ratigan threatens to harm Olivia. Ratigan then announces his plans to kill the Queen and become "supreme ruler of all mousedom" to his henchmen. Meanwhile, Fidget appears through the window, and they give chase.
Buck takes it to the surface, where he meets Manny and the others. Buck explains to The Herd that according to the pillar, the asteroids had caused two extinctions of "horseshoe crab-looking thingies" and dinosaurs in the past and with a massive one still incoming, he believes that the only place they could find a clue to stop it is on the site of the impact of the previous ones, as according to its engravings, they always fall at the same place. However, the three dromaeosaurs overhear their conversation, and Gavin and Gertie decide to stop them, believing that they could easily avoid the impact, thus not only getting their revenge on Buck, but also killing all mammals and securing domination over Earth for their species. Roger is reluctant, but Gavin and Gertie strong-arm him into cooperating. Because Lilo has been ostracized by her friends, Nani decides to let her adopt a dog. At the shelter, Lilo immediately takes a keen interest in 626, who is impersonating a dog. In spite of Nani's doubts, Lilo gives 626 the name "Stitch", and shows him around the island.
When Sora first steps into the world of Olympus Coliseum, he is immediately enthralled about joining the games and becoming a hero. Phil (Danny DeVito, 72–73), however, thinks differently when he noticed that Sora cannot even push a boulder from one side of the Lobby to the other. So instead of allowing Sora to enter the games he allows him to enter training. When Sora passes the training Phil still refuses to let Sora and company enter the games, saying they aren't ready. Sora then disgruntledly leaves.
Before leaving the world Sora encounters Hades (James Woods, 70–71) who offers him preliminary passes to the games, at which Sora graciously accepts. McQueen becomes impatient with Cruz's methodical approach to training. That evening, at the restaurant where Nani works, the aliens Jumba and Pleakley try, but fail, to capture Stitch. The resulting chaos is blamed on Stitch, causing Nani to be fired.
Sora then flies through the games until his penultimate match, with Cloud, who had previously made a deal to kill Hercules in return for the location of his nemesis Sephiroth. Instead, Cloud ends up either defeated, or refuses to deliver the final blow to Sora, at which time Hades releases the guardian of the Underworld; Cerberus. Cerberus attacks Cloud and knocks him unconscious, fortunately, Hercules (Tate Donovan, 53–55) steps in and safes Cloud from a fatal attack. With Hercules distracting Cerberus; Sora, Donald, and Goofy are granted a free escape.
Wilbur meets Lewis at the orphanage and asks him to repair the scanner. Lewis agrees to do so only if Wilbur can prove his is telling the truth, which Wilbur does by taking them to the year 2037 in a second time machine and arrives. However, Lewis says he can use the time machine instead of the scanner. Eventually Sora decides to go help Hercules and ends up taking on Cerberus. Now that Cerberus' attention is directed to Sora and company, Hercules takes the still unconscious Cloud to a safe place. McQueen attempts to use a high tech racing simulator – only to end up damaging it. Lewis and Wilbur get into an argument and crash. "Springtime Island" collapsed due to their chaos.
Wilbur then asks Lewis to fix the time machine, but Lewis has another condition: Wilbur has to take him to visit his mother afterwards. Reluctantly, Wilbur agrees. Sterling decides to force McQueen into retirement, and instead, plans to use him for promotional materials only. McQueen contests this, and instead, makes a deal; if he should win the first race of the season, he will continue racing as long as he wants, otherwise he will retire immediately if he doesn't win. Sterling is worried about damaging McQueen's marketability, but accepts the deal, and assigns him to work one-on-one with Cruz. Once Sora and company defeat Cerberus they're declared 'Junior Heroes' by Phil – through much convincing by Hercules.
After Sora leaves the world, Hades is then confronted by the Disney villain ringleader; Maleficent (Susanne Blakeslee, 61–62). She warns Hades not to dabble too deeply into the darkness or else he may be lost to it. Hades merely shrugs off the warning with apathy._
May 2017
While navigating through the long-term memory region, Joy and Sadness encounter Bing Bong (Richard Kind, 60–61), their childhood imaginary friend, who suggests riding the train of thought back to Headquarters. As The Herd travels to the crash site, they discover that the asteroids have electro-magnetic properties. Buck theorizes that if a huge quantity of smaller asteroids should be gathered and launched into orbit, they could attract the main asteroid as well and prevent it from falling on Earth. The next day, Cobra warns her that if she does not find another job, he will have to place Lilo with a foster family. As a result, Chicken Little joins his school's baseball team in an attempt to recover his reputation and Buck's pride, but is made last until the ninth inning of the last game.
The next world in the party's journey was Deep Jungle, a world composed mostly of jungle terrains and some abandoned, wooden structures. It's hard saying the party reached this jungle world under the best of circumstances. Unimpressed by the seemingly primitive world, Donald refused to waste even a minute exploring. Eager to find any sort of lead as to Riku and Kairi's whereabouts, Sora on his part insisted they departed from their ship and took a look around. This escalated into a struggle inside the Gummi ship which resulted in the party crash landing. When they finally came to, they found themselves separated with Donald and Goofy still together but Sora all on his own.
Despite there being no Heartless around, there were wild beasts prowling about. Sora was attacked by Sabor, a ferocious leopard who was more than interested in a red-clad meal. Thanks to the Keyblade, Sora managed to fend Sabor off long enough for a savior to appear and scare the animal away. His name was Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn, 57), and unfortunately, he didn't speak Sora's language in full. He understood what "Friends" meant, and the bitter Sora refrained from asking about Donald and Goofy. Instead, he asked Tarzan about Riku and Kairi before a vision of the girl herself appeared not far behind Tarzan. She faded as soon as she appeared, leaving Sora to follow Tarzan, seeing how he claimed Sora's friends were 'here'.
Tarzan guided Sora to a camp set up by a young woman called Jane (Minnie Driver, 47) and a hunter, Clayton (Brian Blessed, 80). It was there Sora met Donald and Goofy again, who were saved by Clayton. The strenuous atmosphere continued even when Donald and Goofy showed Sora a peculiar Gummi block they found while wondering about. This meant the King might be there, and so they let each other tag along while searching.
In order to bridge the language gap and receive more help from Tarzan, Jane showed him slides to demonstrate her words' meaning. Tarzan seemed lost and Clayton pressed Tarzan. Both he and Jane have been in the jungle for a good while but never saw any one of the party's missing friends. As such, if they were truly in the jungle, they could only be in the one place neither Jane nor Clayton have been to – the gorillas' nesting grounds. Wanting nothing more than to help, Tarzan agreed to go speak to Kerchak, the gorillas' leader about granting Sora access to the nesting grounds.
Despite receiving an audience with Kerchak, Tarzan's request was denied. He couldn't trust humans and was proved right when the party barely managed to stop Clayton from hunting Terk (April Winchell, 57), a young gorilla.
Back in camp, Jane was enraged. Clayton was ordered not to go near the gorillas again, but it was obvious he won't listen to Jane's orders. He vanished soon afterward, leaving the party to go hunt for him before he hunts Tarzan's family. There was more than just Clayton waiting for them outside the camp, however, as with Clayton's greed and rage getting out of control, the Heartless began gathering, attacking the gorillas in Clayton's stead.
After saving the gorillas, the party was attacked again by Sabor. The battle left the group incapable of saving Jane and Terk in time, and the two were kidnapped by Clayton.
The party managed to find and save them, but it was a mere distraction. Using the Heartless, Clayton gathered all the gorillas on the other end of the jungle! At the very last minute Sora managed to cry out, stopping Clayton from shooting Kerchak. Not satisfied, Clayton pointed his gun at Sora instead. Despite maintaining his human appearance, Clayton's Heart already became a Heartless. Now more than ever, Sora was left with no choice but to take the man down.
Finally moved by Sora's efforts, Kerchak showed Sora the gorillas' nesting grounds. None of their missing friends were anywhere to be found, and Sora knows why. The 'here' Tarzan spoke of wasn't his world, but rather Sora's Heart. There were thankfully some spoils to write home about at the end of the day, however, being Sora and Donald finally made up, and the journey to the nesting grounds brought them to the Keyhole of that world, letting Sora lock it.____________
Summer 2017
June 2017
Taran's foolish daydreaming causes Hen Wen to be captured by the Gwythaints, winged wyvern-like creatures that serve the Horned King. Taran follows them to the Horned King's stronghold. Along the way, he encounters the small, pestering creature Gurgi (John Byner, 48–50), who joins Taran on his search. Frustrated by Gurgi's antics and fear of the castle, Taran leaves him. After completing a circuit of unexplored worlds, the trio now return to Traverse Town, having picked up a mysterious navigation gummi block. Yuffie directs them to an underground cavern where Leon is training, who then points them to Cid for their gummi query. Cid agrees to fix the navigation gummi to their ship if they return a mysterious book he had repaired to a mysterious house underground near the third district. Basil, along with Dawson and Olivia, take Toby (Frank Welker, 41–42), Sherlock Holmes's pet Basset Hound, to track down Fidget's scent, where they locate him in a toyshop stealing clockwork mechanisms and toy soldiers' uniforms. Within, Sora yet again envisions Kairi, and soon meets the wizard Merlin (Jeff Bennett, 54–56) and the Fairy Godmother (Russi Taylor, 73–74), and the former explains to them the repaired book. McQueen tries to train on the nearby Fireball Beach in order to build up his speed, but he finds most of his time spent on teaching Cruz how to drive on various terrain. However, Stitch's antics, including evading the two alien agents, ruin Nani's chances of finding work.
100 Acre Wood is a world that is contained inside a book. The book is passed from Cid to Sora who is instructed to hand the book to Merlin. When Sora gives the book to Merlin, Merlin notes that the book holds special properties and that Sora must find the torn pages in order to explore the entirety of the book.
When Sora first enters the book, he stumbles upon a quiet meadow where alone sits a small yellow bear. This bear is known as Pooh (Jim Cummings, 64–65) and he is seen contemplating how to say goodbye to himself. Sora then approaches Pooh and Pooh asks Sora if he had come to say goodbye. As Sora presses Pooh for his predicament, Sora finds out that all of Pooh's friends are missing, as well as his very favorite honey tree. Pooh then decides that he is hungry and leaves for his home. Sora follows and is there greeted by Owl (Craig Ferguson, 55–56), who serves as Sora's guide to 100 Acre Wood. When Sora enters Pooh's house, Pooh is desperate for some honey, but his honey tree is missing.Outside, a group of enemies ambushes Sora, Donald and Goofy before Riku arrives on the scene and takes them out. While Sora stands back in disbelief, Riku asks of him where Kairi is and, understanding her to be absent, not disheartened proclaims she's looking for them just like they are for her. A Heartless manages to sneak up on Riku, but Sora dispatches it with his Keyblade, grabbing Riku's attention. Asking Sora of the creature, he realizes – or rather convinces himself – that Sora has made new friends and has little to no use of him. When Goofy tells Riku of Sora's status as the Keyblade's master, he grabs it off Sora for a while to scrutinize the weapon before returning it. As Sora and Donald argue over the possibility of Riku accompanying them, the boy vanishes. Afterward, Riku is seen with the witch Maleficent back in the Third District, her convincing him of his being replaced as a friend of Sora's and promising to help him find what he's searching for. Taking Aerith's advice, ascend the workshop at the rear of the Second District to ring the bells atop it, which in turn rotates the mosaic resting within a nearby fountain and reveals Traverse Town's keyhole. As the party prepares to seal it, the Guard Armor returns to hinder them. Just when it seems the enemy is defeated, it reanimates itself in the form of the more powerful Opposite Armor. Fidget ambushes Olivia and kidnaps her. Basil and Dawson pursue Fidget, but become entangled and fall behind. While searching the shop, Dawson discovers Fidget's checklist. Finally able to return to Cid, he installs the navigation gummi along with a warp one, allowing the heroes to progress to yet more worlds.
During training, Dusty learns that Blade was formerly an actor who played a police helicopter on the TV series CHoPs. Chicken Little is reluctantly called to bat by the coach (Mark Dindal, 46–47) (even though the coach is certain that he will lose the game for them). Little is able to hit the ball and make it past first, second, and third bases, but is met at home plate by the outfielders. He tries sliding onto home plate but is touched by the ball. While it's presumed he lost the game, the umpire (Joe Whyte, 46) brushes away the dust to reveal Chicken Little's foot barely touching home plate, thus declaring Little safe and the game won; Little is hailed as a hero for winning the pennant.
Sora, Donald and Goofy, having completed their first circuit of worlds, use their newly acquired navigation gummi to pass through a wormhole on their way to Agrabah. Preceding their arrival, the scheming vizier Jafar (Jonathan Freeman, 67) and Maleficent saunter through the streets, discussing their imminent discovery of the world's keyhole, the necessity of finding the princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin, 47–48), and her part in the opening 'final door'. As Maleficent warns Jafar of the dangers of darkness, Jasmine is seen hiding behind a nearby stall.
Our heroes arrive just inside the city gates in time to be confronted by some quickly-defeated Heartless before they move deeper into the city, meeting Jasmine hiding in an alley, who reveals to them the state of affairs in Agrabah: Jafar has deposed the sultan and thus seized power of the city. As Jasmine begins to tell of who helped her to thus far escape Jafar's clutches, the vizier himself ambushes them with Heartless, and Jasmine flees. Unable to find the princess, Sora, Donald and Goofy explore the city further, eventually discovering Aladdin's residence and the trapped Carpet under some furniture. It flies off towards the desert, and the trio resolve to follow it.
Outside the city walls, the three are met by the magical Carpet, who flies them out further into the desert toward the Cave of Wonders. Already ahead of them under darkened skies are Aladdin (Scott Weinger, 41) and Abu (Frank Welker, 71), sinking in a pit of quicksand, who are about to be attacked by Heartless before Sora intervenes and gives the trapped the chance to extract themselves. More Heartless show up, but Aladdin draws out a magical lamp and uses his first wish to Genie (Jim Meskimen, 57–59) to remove the Heartless. On their way back to the city, Genie explains the mechanics of his powers and constrained existence, while Aladdin describes his predicament in trying to approach Jasmine in spite of his lowly status, and promises Genie the third and final wish will be used to grant his freedom after they find Jasmine.
Genie says, in Agrabah's home, that he recalls hearing of a 'keyhole' in Agrabah, before the group departs for the Palace gates, where Jafar awaits the lot with Jasmine. Aladdin nearly succeeds in using his second wish to rescue Aladdin, but Jafar has Iago (Gilbert Gottfried, 62) steal the lamp, making Jafar Genie's new master. Jasmine is dropped by Genie into a pot, after which the various pots around the palace spawn legs and become hostile, and Sora confronts the Pot Spider in a battle through the city's streets. Upon its defeat, Jasmine is nowhere to be found, but Jafar's maniacal laughter sets Aladdin on a course to the desert, and the others follow. Outside the Cave of Wonders, they are confronted by the darkness-controlled tiger's-head entrance, but are able to purge it soon enough and proceed properly into the caves.
Their progress into the lamp chamber blocked by an immovable pillar, the group descend to the lower levels of the cave to destroy the pillar's base, opening up the path to the lamp chamber. Before the group of heroes arrives, an unconscious Jasmine lies on the floor while Jafar uses his first wish to have Genie reveal the keyhole, which is just at the back of the lamp chamber. As they arrive, Jafar and Maleficent are conferring, and the latter vanishes while Jafar uses his second wish for Genie to attack Sora, Donald, Goofy and Aladdin, and a battle ensues between our heroes and Jafar and the now-hostile Genie.
Just as it seems Jafar is defeated, he rises once more to make use of his third and final wish – to turn Jafar himself into an all-powerful genie, who creates a massive hole in the ground to a magma-filled bottom-most chamber. Sora and his friends leave the passed-out Jasmine in the lamp chamber to confront Jafar, who is all but invincible. Instead, the heroes find another way to damage him while avoiding his attacks: Damage Jafar's own black lamp and its flying carrier – Iago. When Iago finally drops the lamp, Sora – now the bearer of the lamp – commands Jafar return to it, and he and Iago are sucked in.
Immediately before the quartet of heroes are ferried back upstairs, a just-awakening Jasmine is approached and captured by an unknown figure. While Aladdin calls out to her desperately, Sora seals Agrabah's keyhole, which is then covered up by a magnitude of gold. Straight after, the entire system of caves seems to be about to collapse, and the four must flee on Carpet to get to safety. Aladdin proposes to tag along with Sora to find Jasmine, but they don't allow him, so instead Genie suggests the street-rat use his last wish to find her. To his surprise, Aladdin uses his very last wish to grant Genie his freedom, and agrees to do Aladdin a favour and accompany Sora to search for Jasmine.June–July 2017
Later that night back at home, Chicken Little is hit on the head by the same "piece of the sky" – only to find out that it is not a piece of the sky, but a device which blends into the background (which would thereby explain why Chicken Little was unable to find it last time). He calls his friends over to help figure out what it is. When Fish pushes a button on the back of the hexagon, it flies into the sky, taking Fish with it. It turns out to be part of the camouflage of an invisible UFO. Taran sneaks inside and rescues Hen Wen. Chicken Little manages to ring the bell to warn everyone, but the aliens see the crowds coming and manage to escape, leaving an orange alien child (Matthew Josten, 9–11) behind. Although Hen Wen escapes, Taran is captured and thrown into the dungeon. No one believes the story of the alien invasion, and Chicken Little is ridiculed yet again... until the next day. McQueen then attempts to race at a dirt track called Thunder Hollow, and inadvertently ends up competing in a demolition derby called "Crazy Eight" with Miss Fritter (Lea DeLaria, 59–60), the school bus champion; that Cruz wins, and McQueen's identity is also discovered, adding to his humiliation on TV. Their actions had caused "Summer Island" to collapse. En route to the train station, Bing Bong tearfully watches his rainbow wagon rocket being thrown into the memory dump along with other unused childish artifacts. Distraught for apparently wasting training time, McQueen rages at Cruz and, in a fit of frustration, accidentally breaks her trophy. Upset and hurt, Cruz admits that she had wanted to be a professional racer like McQueen her whole life because he inspired her, but never started a race due to feeling intimidated and outclassed. She resigns as McQueen's trainer, and heads back to the training center. The three eventually catch the train.
Guilty and with no other options, McQueen calls up his friend Mater (Larry the Cable Guy, 53–56) about any ideas about getting fast than Storm. While performing on Lake Springfield, the band Green Day perishes when the lake's pollution dissolves the barge, following an audience revolt after frontman Billie Joe Armstrong proposes an environmental discussion. At their memorial, Grampa (Dan Castellaneta, 59–61) foresees the destruction of the town, but only Marge (Julie Kavner, 66–68) takes this seriously. Later that day, Homer (Dan Castellaneta, 59–61) dares Bart (Nancy Cartwright, 59–61) to skateboard naked to Krusty Burger and Bart is arrested by Chief Wiggum (Hank Azaria, 53–54). Remy (Patton Oswalt, 38–40) is a highly intelligent and idealistic young rat with unusually acute senses of taste and smell who dreams of becoming a chef like his idol, the late Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garrett, 47–48). However, the rest of his rat colony, including his brother Emile (Peter Sohn, 30–32) and his father Django (Brian Dennehy, 69–70), are interested in food only for sustenance. Later, Homer adopts a pig (Tress MacNeille, 66) from Krusty Burger and its "Spider Pig." Bart considers their neighbor Ned Flanders (Harry Shearer, 73–75) a better father figure after Homer refuses to take responsibility for the incident. Lisa (Yeardley Smith, 53–54) and a new Irish friend named Colin (Tress MacNeille, 66–67) convince the entire town to clean their lake.

Autumn 2017
September–October 2017
Five years since misadventures, Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly, 52–53) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman, 46–48) are still best friends who hang out every night after work in Litwak's Family Fun Center and Arcade. While Ralph is content, Vanellope admits being bored with her game's predictability as they learn that Mr. Litwak (Ed O'Neill, 71) installed a Wi-Fi router. Meanwhile, Homer later names the pig "Harry Plopper", and simply "Plopper" and stores the pig's feces (and some of his own) in a silo, until Marge tells him to safety dispose of the waste. Homer initially intends to take his silo to the waste management plant, but after Lenny (Harry Shearer, 73) calls to tell him that Lard Lad Donuts has been shut down due to health violations and is giving away free donuts, Homer impatiently dumps the silo straight into the lake, polluting it much worse than before. Moments later, a squirrel jumps into the lake and becomes severely mutated; Flanders and Bart (who bond after Homer humiliates Bart) discover the creature before the EPA captures it. Russ Cargill (Albert Brooks, 70–71), head of the EPA, presents five "unthinkable" options to U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger (Harry Shearer, 73–74) to keep the town's pollution contained. The slow-witted president picks option 3 without reading it, and Springfield is enclosed in a large glass dome. Ralph tries to cheer Vanellope up with a secret bonus track in Sugar Rush during its twentieth anniversary. Vanellope enjoys the track, but goes against the controls of the player, Swati (Della Saba, 27) to ride it, causing the steering wheel on the console to pop off, and Litwak inadvertently breaks it while trying to replace it. Since the company that made Sugar Rush is defunct, one of the kids finds a replacement for Litwak on eBay. Unfortunately, Litwak finds it too expensive and has no choice but to unplug Sugar Rush, leaving Vanellope and its citizens homeless. When the police discover Homer's silo in the lake, and his responsibility for sealing Springfield in the dome, the townspeople of Springfield except for the Flanders family form an angry mob and advance on the Simpsons' home to kill Homer, but the family escapes the town through a sinkhole, which then destroys the house. One day, when the colony is forced to flee their home, Remy is separated from the clan. With the EPA on their trail, the Simpsons flee to Alaska.

November 2017
Following Syndrome's defeat, the Incredibles, aka the Parr family – Mr. Incredible, aka Bob (Craig T. Nelson, 73–75), Elastigirl, aka Helen (Holly Hunter, 59–61), Violet (Sarah Vowell, 47–49), Dash (Huck Milner, 9–11), and Jack-Jack – successfully fight back the Underminer (John Ratzenberger, 70) as the latter attempts to rob Metropolis Bank. The Underminer flees in his drilling vehicle, but the Incredibles stop him before he destroys City Hall. Despite this, the authorities are more concerned with the level of damage caused by the debacle. Rick Dicker (Jonathan Banks, 70–71) informs the Parr family that his department in the Super Recollection program is being shut down as a result of the battle with the Underminer. After learning that Violet's date Tony Rydinger (Michael Bird, 30–31) knows her superhero identity, Dicker has that part of his memory wiped. As a result of this, supers are once again forced to permanently adhere to their secret identities.
The film starts out with everybody getting prepared for Christmas. Lumiere (Jerry Orbach, 62) and Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers, 55) argue about who saved Christmas last year. Chip (Haley Joel Osment, 9) begs Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury, 72) to be the narrator of the story. After hesitating she agrees. Soon everyone is gathered around Mrs. Potts as she tells the events of what happened after Beast (Robby Benson, 41) saved Belle (Paige O'Hara, 41) from the wolves...
The story is made into a full-length flashback of when the Prince is the Beast and his servants are the Enchanted Objects. Belle is still a prisoner in Beast's castle. All the servants are trying to figure out a way for them to fall in love with each other, and with Christmas coming up, they look at this as a great opportunity to bring them together. Belle is excited about Christmas, but Beast is not happy seeing how it is the anniversary of his spell being cast upon the castle. It's the Christmas season since the gates reopened and Anna and Elsa host a celebration for all of Arendelle. Unexpectedly, the townspeople leave early their individual holiday customs with Mr. Olsen (John de Lancie, 69) and Mrs. Olsen (Lauri Fisher) not wanting to intrude on the sisters' traditions.
Belle finds the Beast outside and offers to teach him ice-skating. Meanwhile, in an unknown part of the castle (through a secret door in the West Wing), an enormous pipe organ is composing rhythmic music while a small piccolo applauds. The organ is Forte (Tim Curry, 51), the court composer for the musicians during his human years. The organ player though is not in the mood to be human again, so he decides to figure a way for the Beast to steer clear of falling in love with Belle. He believes that "humanity is overrated" and that he has more use and power in his enchanted form.
He tells Fife (Paul Reubens, 45) that he has written a solo for a piccolo in his opera, which persuades Fife to be forced to break up the merriment between Belle and the Beast. Fife is able to interrupt Belle and the Beast's skating, causing them to crash into the snow. Then, when Belle makes a snow angel, she and the Beast get up in the snow to see their snow figures, but when the Beast smiles at Belle's angel while rubbing his head he suddenly makes a low growl and looks at his own snow print. While looking, he assumes that this is no angel, but the shadow of a monster. Enraged, he roars, thrashes around through the snow and storms off in a fit of rage, leaving Belle and the others outside. Then when Fife chuckles and hopes that Forte is going to be so proud of him, the Beast stomps back into the castle in fury and depression.
Belle has no idea why she bothers, and as she flops back into the snow, she assumes that the Beast is "worse than ever", but Mrs. Potts tells her not to lose heart. Inside the castle, Forte is playing gloomy music, while the Beast stomps into the West Wing and looks at the enchanted Rose the Enchantress gave him. After assuming that he hates Christmas, the Beast sits on his chair by the fire, and when Forte tells him that the music helps, the Beast mumbles to the pipe organ that his music is the only thing that will help him forget. Forte tells the Beast that he is always here for him.
Believing that Christmas will brighten the Beast's mood, Belle creates a wonderful new book for him, and with a little persuasion for Cogsworth, Christmas is officially being prepared. The gang goes to the highest tower in the castle, which serves as a storage room for old decorations. In one of them lies Angelique (Bernadette Peters, 49) with a number of other animated baubles, who once served as the Royal Decorator. However, she is not pleased to hear about Christmas, arguing that she will not raise her hopes again in a belief that they could all get together in celebration, until they are destroyed by the Beast's foul temper and hatred for the holiday, despite Cogsworth's misgivings. Belle sings to them about how "hope is the greatest gift", saying that there is always hope, even for breaking the spell, and there will "always be a time when the world is filled with peace and love". Eventually, Angelique reluctantly agrees.
However, Fife has been overhearing all this and rushes off to tell Forte. When the Beast finds out, he is far from pleased, and wants Christmas to be depleted. Forte plays along, saying that "the girl doesn't care how you feel about Christmas", separating the two even more. The Beast reflects on his past: Christmas was the day he was most selfish, and it was on that day that the Enchantress (Kath Soucie, 30) put the spell on him and the castle.
Belle enters the boiler room and meets Axe (Jeff Bennett, 35), head of the boiler room. She tells him she needs a Yule Log and he tells her to help herself. Beast finds her and demands to know what is going on. She explains that it is a great tradition: "one log is chosen, then everyone in the house touches it, and makes a Christmas wish". The Beast, however, claims that wishes are stupid, and bellows at Belle, "You made a Christmas wish last year! Is this what you wished for?!" He shouts that she has no idea what it is to be a true prisoner, but she knows all too well. Then, having finally had enough, he hates Christmas once again and storms out, despite Cogsworth's misgivings. Anna and Elsa realize they have no family traditions of their own. Elsa laments the fact that because she has been housed in her room for most of her life, she and Anna were unable to spend time with their parents. Olaf decides to look for traditions with the help of Sven.
Belle refuses to give up, and concludes that they will have Christmas with or without the Beast, but not before sending him her gift, the storybook. Belle and Chip take Axe with them to go look for a Christmas tree, but none on the grounds are very promising. Going through the town, Olaf encounters various family traditions relating to Christmas, Hanukkah and Winter solstice. Beast finds his gift, but Lumiere will not allow him to open it as it is not yet Christmas. He explains that everyone understands how Beast feels about the holiday, but giving a gift to another is a way of saying "I care about you". The Beast gets in the mood, and demands Forte to compose a song as a present, who agrees unhappily. When he leaves, Forte puts his plans in motion, and plays beautiful music, attracting Belle to his room. Forte quickly manipulates the situation, telling her that the tree has always been Beast's favorite part of Christmas, and that she would find a much better tree in the Black Forest, the woods outside the castle. After a visit to Oaken at the last house, Olaf and Sven collected the mini-sauna as the best tradition yet. Olaf, Sven and their sleigh full of "traditions" travel through the snowy tundra only for a coal from a sauna to set the sleigh on fire. They slide down a hill and Olaf and Sven end up separated by a chasm. Getting the tree would break Belle's promise never to leave the castle, but she wants to make Beast happy, so she agrees to go, taking Chip and Axe. Forte orders Fife "to make sure they don't come back". Meanwhile, Anna and Elsa discover some forgotten items in their attic where they find things from their past.
With only a fruit cake, Olaf attempts to travel through the woods and is attacked by wolves. Sven returns to Kristoff and informs him, Anna and Elsa of Olaf's plight. Beast is still waiting for Belle to show up, but Forte claims "she's abandoned you!" and feeds Beast's anger and brainwashes him to be his new mindless slave, trying to persuade him to forget her, but he races out anyway. In his temper, Forte had Beast (who was hypnotized and send by Forte) destroy the decorations in the dining room where Angelique was and storm off outside to look for Belle, leaving Angelique hopeless. Meanwhile, Belle and the others look for a tree, but Fife startles Phillipe (Frank Welker, 51) on the ice, creating a chain reaction that leads to Belle nearly drowning, and being rescued by the hypnotized and furious Beast. Elsewhere, Olaf manages to escape the wolves, but loses the fruit cake to an eagle and gives up by a tree not too far from the kingdom. Belle is locked in the dungeon for breaking her promise, but Angelique comes to visit with the other baubles and admits that she was wrong to believe that Christmas could never come. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Sven gather the residents of Arendelle to go look for Olaf. Anna and Elsa find Olaf and cheer him up by revealing that they do have a tradition. After Elsa had shut herself away for years, Anna began visiting her every year and sliding cards and dolls of Olaf before he was made by Elsa's snow magic. They all agree that they do not need decorations or gifts to celebrate Christmas, they have each other, and that is the best gift they could ever ask for. Meanwhile, prompted by Forte, Beast threatens to destroy the rose to end his suffering, but one of the flower petals falls on Belle's present. When Forte's hypnotic spell is broken, Beast then remembers the gift Belle gave him, opens it and reads it, silencing Forte when he tried to intervene. Remembering there is hope to break the spell, he ignores Forte and releases Belle, asking her for forgiveness. After she accepts, the Beast announces plans to have the best Christmas ever.
Enraged at the failure of his plans, Forte plans to bring the whole castle down with the rationale that they cannot fall in love if they're dead. This horrifies Fife, who finds it far too extreme and then he learns that his promised solo is blank. The Beast manages to get into the room until Forte's powerful music confounds him as he has no idea what to strike at. With Fife's advice, the Beast rips away Forte's keyboard with his strength, silencing Forte's music now that he could no longer make it without his keyboard and smashing it, causing Forte to come crashing down and shatter into pieces, silenced forever, and the Beast laments the death of his old, traitorous confidant.
Still, together they continue to have a happy holiday, which brings us back to the actual party, but of course, if anyone actually saved Christmas, it was Belle, and Fife becomes the new court composer of the castle. After the story, the others celebrate as the Prince gives Belle a gift, a single rose. Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven all return to celebrate the holidays and the eagle drops the fruit cake of Olaf. Upon getting the fruit cake back, Olaf declares it "A Christmas miracle!"____________
Winter 2017/2018
Thanksgiving Week
In the Australian Outback, a young boy named Cody (Adam Ryen, 9–10) rescues and befriends a rare golden eagle called Marahuté (Frank Welker, 43–44), who shows him her nest and eggs. Later on, he falls into an animal trap set by Percival C. McLeach (George C. Scott, 62–63), a local poacher wanted by the Australian Rangers. When McLeach finds one of Marahuté's feathers in Cody's backpack, he realizes he knows the eagle's location, and reveals he killed another, Marahuté's mate. McLeach throws Cody's backpack to a pack of crocodiles to trick the Rangers into thinking that Cody was eaten, and kidnaps him, intending to extract Marahuté's whereabouts. A mouse (Billy Barty, 65), the bait in the trap, runs off to a secret outpost, from which a telegram is sent to the Rescue Aid Society headquarters in New York City. Bernard (Bob Newhart, 60–61) and Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor, 70–72), the RAS' elite field agents, are assigned to the mission, interrupting Bernard's attempt to propose marriage to Bianca. One year later, Dory is living with Marlin and Nemo (Hayden Rolence, 13–15) on their reef. One day, Dory has a flashback and remembers that she has parents. She decides to look for them, but her memory problem is an obstacle. She eventually remembers that they lived at the Jewel of Morro Bay across the ocean in California, thanks to Nemo mentioning its name. Marlin and Nemo accompany Dory.

Thanksgiving–December 2017
A flashback shows an event taking place between the second and third film at Andy's house wherein, after Woody (Tom Hanks, 61–62) and his friends save R.C. from drawing in a drain pipe during a rainy night, Bo Peep (Annie Potts, 65–66), her lamp, and her three-headed sheep, Billy, Goat, and Gruff (Emily Davis) get sold to a mysterious man. Woody tries to get Bo back to Andy's, but Bo tells him that all is well since children losing their toys is a common thing and she gets taken away from Andy's house.
In the 29th century, rampant consumerism and environmental neglect have turned Earth into a garbage-strewn wasteland. Humanity is nowhere to be found, having been evacuated by the megacorporation Buy-N-Large (BnL) on giant starliners seven centuries earlier. Of the robotic trash compactors left by BnL to clean up, only one remains: a Waste Allocation Load-Lifter (Earth Class), or WALL-E (Ben Burtt, 59–60). In Santa Cecilia, Mexico, 12-year-old Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez, 13–14) dreams of being a musician, even though his family strictly forbids it. His great-great-grandmother Imelda was married to a man who left her and their 3-year-old daughter Coco to pursue a career in music, and when he never returned, Imelda banished music from her family's life and started a shoemaking business. Now 17, Andy (John Morris, 33–34) is headed to college, and his toys have not been played with for years. He has sold most of them except Woody, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen, 64–66), Jessie (Joan Cusack, 55–56), Bullseye, Rex (Wallace Shawn, 74–75), Slinky (Blake Clark, 71–73), Hamm (John Ratzenberger, 70–72), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles, aged 90 and Estelle Harris, 89–91), the Aliens (Jeff Pidgeon, 52–54), and the Green Army Men. Miguel now lives with the elderly Coco (Ana Ofelia Murguía, 83–85) and their family, who are all shoemakers. He idolizes Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt, 53–54), a famous musician, and secretly teaches himself to play guitar from Ernesto's old movies. Twelve years later, having been abandoned by his father when he was still young, Jim (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 21–23) has grown into an aloof and isolated troublemaker. He reluctantly helps his mother Sarah (Laurie Metcalf, 47) run the family's Benbow Inn, and derives amusement from "Alponian solar cruising", skysurfing atop a rocket-powered sailboard. He intends to take Woody with him and puts the other toys in a trash bag to be stored in the attic, except for the Army Men, who leave. One day, WALL-E's routine is broken by the arrival of an unmanned probe carrying an Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator or EVE (Elissa Knight, 32–33), sent to scan the planet for plant life. WALL-E is smitten by the sleek, otherworldly robot, but she goes into standby when he shows her his most recent find: a living seedling. Andy's mother (Laurie Metcalf, 62–63) mistakenly throws the bag out. The toys escape and climb into her car, into the donation box with Molly's (Beatrice Miller, 11) discarded Barbie (Jodi Benson, 57), bound for Sunnyside Daycare. Woody follows but is unable to convince them Andy meant to keep them before Mrs. Davis donates them. On the Day of the Dead, Miguel accidentally damages the picture frame holding a photo of Coco with her parents on the family ofrenda and discovers a hidden section of the photograph showing his great-great-grandfather (whose face had been torn out) holding Ernesto's famous guitar. One day, a spaceship crashes near the inn. The dying pilot, Billy Bones (Patrick McGoohan, 74), gives Jim a sphere and tells him to "beware the cyborg". After this, a gang of pirates raid and burn the inn to the ground. Jim, his mother, and their dog-like friend Dr. Delbert Doppler (David Hyde Pierce, 43–44) flee.
The caveboy then leads Arlo to a berry tree, where the caveboy fends off a large snake, amazing Arlo and impressing a nearby eccentric Styracosaurus (Peter Sohn, 40) who wants to keep the boy. He forces Arlo to compete with him to give the boy a name he will respond to, which Arlo finally wins when he calls him "Spot".

January–February 2018
A White Shepherd puppy named Bolt (John Travolta, 54–55) is adopted by an eight-year-old girl named Penny (Miley Cyrus, 16). Ant Island is a colony of ants led by the Queen (Phyllis Diller, 80–81) and her daughter, Princess Atta (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 37–38). Every season, they are forced to give food to a gang of marauding grasshoppers led by Hopper (Kevin Spacey, 38–39). One day, when Flik (Dave Foley, 35–36), an individualist and would-be inventor, inadvertently knocks the offering into a stream and his latest invention, a grain harvesting device, Hopper demands twice as much food as compensation. When Flik suggests in earnest that they seek help from other stronger bugs, the other ants see it as an opportunity to remove him and send him off.
After a talk with Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer, 44–45) in Tapper's (Maurice LaMarche, 59), Ralph decides to venture with Vanellope to the Internet to find and purchase a new wheel for Sugar Rush from eBay. McQueen decides to talk to Doc's mentor, Smokey (Chris Cooper, 66–67) in his hometown of Thomasville, thanks to Mater's suggestion. He catches up to Cruz, and convinces her to rejoin him, apologizing her and fixed her trophy. Wanting to prove himself, Mike enters the university's "Scare Games", and makes a wager with Hardscrabble to reinstate him and his team to the scare program if they win, but Mike must leave the university if they lose. He joins a group of misfits named Oozma Kappa, the weakest fraternity on campus, but they are denied entry to the Games for being one team member short. Sulley subsequently joins them, seeing the competition as his ticket back into the scare program. On the way, Homer tries to make some money at a carnival by riding a motorcycle around the inside of a metal cage, which he accomplishes with the aid of Lisa. In Thomasville, McQueen and Cruz meet up with Smokey.

Spring 2018
March 2018
Wandering the streets by himself in search of someone to adopt him, Oliver meets a laid-back mongrel named Dodger (Billy Joel, 38–40) who assists the kitten in stealing food from a hot dog vendor (Frank Welker, 41). Dodger then flees the scene without sharing his bounty with Oliver. Oliver follows Dodger all throughout the streets. A mysterious woman, Helga Sinclair (Claudia Christian, 37), introduces Milo to Preston B. Whitmore (John Mahoney, 62–63), an eccentric millionaire. Whitmore has already funded a successful effort to retrieve the journal as repayment of a debt to Milo's grandfather, recruiting Milo to lead an expedition to Atlantis, as soon as he receives it. At Doppler's study, Jim finds that the sphere is a holographic projector containing a star map that leads to the location of Treasure Planet. Despite Sarah's reluctance, Jim and Doppler decide to travel to Treasure Planet in order to gain the funds to rebuild the inn. Bernard and Bianca go to find Orville the albatross, who aided them previously, but instead meet his brother, Wilbur (John Candy, 39–40), whom they convince to fly them to Australia. The probe returns to collect EVE and the plant, with WALL-E clinging on. With the help of Crush (Andrew Stanton, 52), their sea turtle friend, Dory, Marlin, and Nemo ride a water current to California. The expedition departs with a team of specialists led by Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke (James Garner, 74), who also led the journal recovery expedition. The crew includes Vinny Santorini (Don Novello, 60–61), a demolitions expert; Gaetan Moliere (Corey Burton, 47–48), a geologist; Dr. Joshua Sweet (Phil Morris, 43–44), a medical officer; Audrey Ramirez (Jacqueline Obradors, 36–37), a mechanic; Mrs. Wilhelmina Packard (Florence Stanley, 78), a radio operator; and Cookie Farnsworth (Jim Varney, aged 50), a mess cook. Doppler commissions a ship called the RLS Legacy, on a mission to find Treasure Planet. The ship is commanded by the feline Captain Amelia (Emma Thompson, 43) along with her stone-skinned and disciplined first mate, Mr. Arrow (Roscoe Lee Browne, 77). Concluding that Ernesto is his great-great-grandfather, Miguel leaves to enter a talent show for the Día de Los Muertos despite his family's objections. He breaks into Ernesto's mausoleum and takes his guitar to use in the show, but once he strums it, he becomes invisible to everyone in the village plaza. The crew is a motley bunch, secretly led by the half-robot cook John Silver (Brian Murray, 65–66), whom Jim suspects is the cyborg he was warned about. Jim is sent down to work in the galley, where he is supervised by Silver and his shape-shifting pet, Morph (Dane A. Davis, 46–47). Despite Jim's mistrust of Silver, they soon form a tenuous father-son relationship. They set out in the Ulysses, a massive submarine. The two follow a Litwak avatar into the world of the Internet. However, he can interact with his skeletal dead relatives who are visiting from the Land of the Dead for the holiday. During the journey, they are attacked by the monstrous Leviathan, a robotic lobster-like creature that guards Atlantis' entrance. The Ulysses is subsequently destroyed, but Milo, Rourke, and part of the crew escape by making their way to an underground cavern, described in the journal as the entrance to Atlantis.
Taking him back with them, they learn that Imelda (Alanna Ubach, 42) cannot visit because Miguel removed her photo from the ofrenda. They discover KnowsMore (Alan Tudyk, 46–47), a search engine who points them towards eBay. There, Bernard and Bianca meet Jake (Tristan Rogers, 43–44), a hopping mouse who is the RAS' local regional operative. Jake becomes infatuated with Bianca and flirts with her, much to Bernard's dismay. He serves as their "tour guide" and protector in search of the boy. Wilbur accidentally bends his spinal column out of shape trying to help them, so Jake sends him to the hospital (an old abandoned ambulance). Miguel discovers that he is cursed for stealing from the dead, and must return to the Land of the Living before sunrise or he will become one of the dead; to do so, he must receive a blessing from a member of his family. Imelda offers Miguel a blessing, but on the condition that he abandon his musical pursuits. Miguel refuses and attempts to seek Ernesto's blessing instead. Ralph and Vanellope successfully acquire the wheel by placing the highest bid for it, but find they have no money to complete the purchase, which they are told will expire within 24 hours. Miguel meets Héctor (Gael García Bernal, 39–40), who claims to know Ernesto and offers to help Miguel reach him in return for Miguel taking his photo back with him, so that he might visit his daughter before she forgets him and he disappears completely. Sometime later, Bob and Helen, along with family friend Frozone, aka Lucius Best (Samuel L. Jackson, 68–70) are contacted by Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk, 55–56), a superhero fan, telecommunications tycoon, and owner of DEVTECH; declaring that he want the Super Recollection Program revoked as much as they do. When Bob, Helen, and Lucius visit him, Winston and his sister Evelyn Deavor (Catherine Keener, 58–59), the genius inventor behind DEVTECH technology, propose a publicity stunt plan in order to gain the general public's support of supers. In Winston's plan, Helen Parr, whom Winston considers the least destructive of the supers present, would represent supers as she openly fights crime in the city of New Urbrem.
They eventually arrive at a barge, where Dodger shares his meal with a gang of fellow strays: Tito (Cheech Marin, 41–42) the chihuahua, Einstein (Richard Mulligan, 55–56) the Great Dane, Rita (Sheryl Lee Ralph, 31–32) the Saluki, and Francis (Roscoe Lee Browne, 62–64) the bulldog. Oliver sneaks inside and is discovered by the dogs. After a moment of confusion, he is received with a warm welcome. The barge's owner, a pickpocket named Fagin (Dom DeLuise, 54–55), is indebted to Bill Sykes (Robert Loggia, 58–59), a nefarious shipyard agent and loan shark accompanied by his Dobermans Roscoe (Taurean Blacque, 46–47) and DeSoto (Carl Weintraub, 42). Sykes gives Fagin an ultimatum of repaying the money he had borrowed within three days under the threat of imminent violence. At the "bug city", which is a heap of trash under a trailer, Flik mistakes a troupe of Circus Bugs (who were recently dismissed by their greedy ringmaster, P.T. Flea (John Ratzenberger, 50–51)) for the warrior bugs he seeks. The bugs, in turn, mistake Flik for a talent agent, and accept his offer to travel with him back to Ant Island.

April 2018
They are then told that Jack Frost has been chosen to be a new Guardian, and has him brought to the North Pole by Bunnymund. North explains to Jack that every Guardian has a centre – something they are the Guardian of, but a call for help from Tooth's fairies ends the conversation. Arlo and Spot bond as Arlo laments his lost family, and Spot reveals that his own parents are dead. Smokey recounts how, despite his forced retirement, Doc found a new happiness in training McQueen. Visiting Tooth's world, Jack learns that each and every baby tooth contains childhood memories of the children who lost it, Jack's teeth included. However, Pitch raids Tooth's home, kidnapping all of her subordinate tooth fairies except Baby Tooth and stealing all the teeth, thus preventing Tooth from sharing Jack's memories and weakening children's belief in Tooth. In order to thwart Pitch's plan, the group decides to collect children's teeth. During their journey, a quarrel between North and Bunnymund awakens a boy, Jamie (Dakota Gayo, 13). Since he still believes, he can see everybody except for Jack. The team traveled through a network of caves, making camps there, and ended up in a dormant volcano en route to reach Atlantis. During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova. Jim, while securing lifelines of all crew members, saves Silver from falling just in time. Pitch's nightmares then attack, provoking Sandy as the Guardian of Dreams. Later, when a storm strikes, Arlo runs away in fear and loses the riverbank he has been following home. Upon arrival, they explore a shipwreck full of destroyed cargo, where Dory accidentally awakens a giant squid, who immediately pursues them and almost devours Nemo. The supernova then devolves into a black hole and Mr. Arrow is shortly sucked into it. Jack tries to intervene, but Sandy is overwhelmed and killed by Pitch. The burst of shock waves and maximum engine power enable Amelia to pilot the ship to safety. Marlin berates Dory for endangering them, hurting her feelings. Amelia mourns the loss of Arrow, and suspects Jim of failing to secure the lifelines, while in fact Arrow's line was cut by a ruthless insectoid crew member named Scroop (Michael Wincott, 45).

April–May 2018
Mike and the Oozma Kappa finish last in the first challenge, but are saved from elimination after another team is disqualified for cheating. The next morning, Arlo wakes to find Spot at his side. They are noticed by a band of pterodactyls, led by Thunderclap (Steve Zahn, 50–51), who appear to be conducting a rescue operation but turn out to be savagely carnivorous. When the pterodactyls try to take Spot, Arlo and Spot flee, happening upon a pair of Tyrannosaurus named Nash (A.J. Buckley, 40–41), Ramsey (Anna Paquin, 35–36), and their father Butch (Sam Elliott, 73–74) have lost their herd of longhorns, so Arlo offers Spot's help in sniffing them out. As Easter approaches, the dejected Guardians gather in Bunnymund's home. With the unexpected aid of Jamie's little sister, Sophie (Georgie Grieve, 7), they begin the process of painting eggs for Easter. Jack takes Sophie home. After consulting pop-up advertiser, J.P. Spamley (Bill Hader, 39–40) and his sidekick, Gord; Ralph and Vanellope venture to popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Slaughter Race, to steal a valuable car they can sell for $40,000. After engaging in a high speed chase throughout Slaughter Race, the car's owner, Shank (Gal Gadot, 33), commends Vanellope for her racing skills, causing visible jealously in Ralph at the budding friendship. Despite not allowing the pair to take her car, Shank posts a video of Ralph taking a leaf blower to the face. A fellow captive named Princess Eilonwy (Susan Sheridan, 41) frees Taran as she is trying to make her own escape. In the catacombs beneath the castle, Taran and Eilonwy discover the ancient burial chamber of a king, where Taran arms himself with the king's sword. It contains magic that allows him effectively to fight the Horned King's minions and so to fulfill his dream of heroism. Along with a third prisoner, the comical, middle-aged bard Fflewddur Fflam (Nigel Hawthorne, 59), they escape from the castle. Upon discovering that Taran has escaped, the Horned King orders his goblin companion Creeper (Phil Fondacaro, 28–30) to send the Gwythaints to follow Taran and bring him back alive. Finally, Anger got an idea, which is for putting it on the console.
En route, Sora, Donald and Goofy are swallowed by Monstro the Whale, a gigantic monster of the deep drifting across the universe. Within Monstro, the trio meet Pinocchio (Aidan McGraw) and Geppetto (Jeff Bennett, 55), who have been separated ever since the destruction of their world, but are now reunited again. However, it does not take too long for the conscience-less Pinocchio to get into trouble. Intrigued by Riku's quiet arrival, Pinocchio follows him into the whale's inner depths, prompting Sora, Donald and Goofy to fetch him back.
Sora however gets the shock of his life when he also finds Riku inside Monstro. His best friend has become increasingly antagonistic, and runs off with Pinocchio. While Sora, Donald and Goofy are busy navigating Monstro's sprawling insides, Maleficent appears to Riku, taunting the boy about his concern for Sora when it is already clear that his former best friend has deserted him for the Keyblade and his new companions. Though Riku vehemently denies it, the sorceress is not fooled, but she takes her leave soon after.
Sora, Donald, Goofy and Riku reach Monstro's bowels, where Pinocchio is held captive by a Parasite Cage Heartless. Everyone put aside their differences to free Pinocchio, but the Parasite Cage cannot be defeated. Instead, it spews Pinocchio out, allowing Riku to kidnap him once more. Riku reveals that Pinocchio, as a puppet with a heart, is an unusual being, and thus maybe he holds the key to reviving Kairi.
He offers Sora a choice to join him and save Kairi together, but Sora chooses to listen to his conscience, knowing that harming others in pursuit of his own gain is selfish. This final rejection draws a line between Sora and Riku, who now are forced to stand on opposite sides of battle. However, Jiminy's compassion saved Pinocchio's heart from being stolen by Riku and the Heartless, and the trio defeats the Parasite Cage once and for all. Riku flees the scene, leaving Sora to wonder about the change in his friend.
With all the commotion going on in its organs, Monstro vomits out the Gummi Ship. Pinocchio and Geppetto escape and find a home in Traverse Town, while Sora, Donald and Goofy continue on with their journey.

When Sora recovers the honey tree page, he's able to enter the new area that is the honey tree. There he meets a very frightened Piglet (Travis Oates) who is looking for Pooh to give him something. Sora then chases Piglet around and eventually consoles the little piglet and reassures him that Pooh is with him. When Piglet sees Pooh, he runs to his best friend and gives Pooh the balloon he had apparently been asking from Piglet. Pooh uses this balloon to float all the way to the top of the honey tree and retrieves some honey, but not without the help of Sora who has to jump from branch to branch and whack away the bees that are threatening to pop Pooh's balloon.
The next page to be recovered is Rabbit's House, here Sora stumbles upon a distressed Rabbit (Tom Kenny, 55) and Piglet. It seems that Pooh has gotten himself stuck in a hole in Rabbit's house. Rabbit exclaims that he can get Pooh out by procuring some carrot juice from his garden. Just as Rabbit goes to get some carrot juice, Tigger (Jim Cummings, 65) bounces onto the scene, literally, and when he does, he breaks the Rabbit's bridge and proclaims Rabbit's garden as his new bouncing ground. Sora then has to protect Rabbit's garden crops from Tigger's excessive bouncing. Only when Sora is successful are they allowed to retrieve the carrot juice and rescue Pooh.
As the ship reaches Treasure Planet, Jim overhears the crew and soon discovers they are indeed pirates led by Silver, and a mutiny erupts. Jim, Doppler, Amelia and Morph abandon the ship, but Morph has left the map behind. Thinking Jim has the map, Silver targets to kill Jim, but hesitates, allowing them to escape. The fugitives are shot down during their escape, injuring Amelia. The team reaches the borders of Atlantis. They are greeted by Kida who resembles a young woman and discovers that the Atlantean language is the basic of many existing languages. Remy eventually finds himself above the kitchen of Gusteau's Restaurant in Paris. When Remy observes a young garbage boy Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano, 36) attempt to fix a soup he has spilled, he recognizes that Linguini is ruining it and fixes his mistakes. Linguini catches him in the act, but does not reveal him to Skinner (Ian Holm, 76–77), Gusteau's former sous-chef and new owner of the restaurant. Skinner confronts Linguini for tampering with the soup, but when the soup is accidentally served and proves to be a success, Colette Tatou (Janeane Garafalo, 43–44), the staff's only female chef, convinces Skinner to retain Linguini. Skinner spots Remy trying to escape, and orders Linguini to kill the rat, but Linguini decides to keep Remy instead.
When Bob offers to take care of the kids while she is away, Helen agrees to Winston's proposal and the Parrs are relocated to an ornate abode provided by Winston. The probe returns to its mothership, the starliner Axiom. In the centuries since the Axiom left Earth, its passengers have degenerated into helpless corpulence due to laziness and microgravity, their every whim catered to by machines. Andy's toys are welcomed by Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear ("Lotso") (Ned Beatty, 72 (archive footage)) and the other toys at Sunnyside. Except Woody, Andy's toys are delighted to learn that Sunnyside never runs out of children to play with, and Barbie is enamored of the handsome Ken (Michael Keaton, 66). Captain McCrea (Jeff Garlin, 46), used to sitting back while his robotic lieutenant AUTO (MacInTalk) flies the ship, is taken aback by a positive probe response, but learns that placing the plant in the ship's Holo-Detector will trigger a hyperjump back to Earth so humanity can begin recolonization. The plant proves to be missing from EVE's storage compartment though, and she blames WALL-E for its disappearance. Woody attempts to return home, but is found by Sunnyside student Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw, 9–10), who brings Woody home and plays with him with her other toys, which are well-treated.
Fagin and the gang, now including Oliver, hit the streets the next morning to carry out petty theft so that Fagin may pawn the stolen goods for money. Through a theatrical ruse, the dogs manage to stop a luxurious limousine owned by the wealthy Foxworth family.

Dory travels to the surface to seek help with Sigourney Weaver (Himself, 68–69) and is captured by staff members from the nearby Marine Life Institute after getting entangled in six pack rings. Dory is placed in the quarantine section and tagged. There she meets a grouchy but well-meaning octopus named Hank (Ed O'Neill, 72–73). Dory's tag shows that she will be sent to an aquarium in Cleveland. Due to a traumatic ocean life, Hank wants to live in the aquarium instead of being released back into the ocean, and he agrees to help Dory find her parents in exchange for her tag. Wilbur hides Lewis in the garage where they meet his stretchable robotic servant, Carl (Harland Williams, 45–46). Lewis doesn't stay there for long, however, and ends up meeting the rest of the Robinsons expect for Cornelius, Wilbur's father, who is away on a business trip.
Sora, Donald and Goofy's travels brings them to the strangest world they have encountered yet: A coral kingdom completely submerged underwater and dotted with deep ravines and trenches, but no land in sight. Thanks to Donald's magic however, the trio are able to prevent themselves from drowning by transforming into aquatic beings.
While they are getting used to the mechanics of swimming underwater, they bump into a mermaid named Ariel (Jodi Benson, 56) and her companions, Flounder (Aidan McGraw) and Sebastian (Phillip Lawrence, 37). Ariel is the princess of Atlantica, an undersea citadel which has been far from peaceful due to the presence of the Heartless. Believing that Sora, Donald and Goofy, who are able to dispatch the swarms of Heartless with relative ease, to be the answer to her kingdom's problems, she brings them to meet her father, King Triton (Jim Cummings, 65). Wary of outsides however, King Triton dismisses Sora's offer to help and denies the existence of Atlantica's Keyhole.
Though Ariel has been expressively forbidden to leave the palace, the headstrong and curious mermaid decides instead to help the trio find Atlantica's Keyhole. Their search through the sprawling undersea kingdom proves futile, until they find a Crystal Trident carefully hidden away in a sunken ship. Realizing that it resembles an engraving etched on the wall of Ariel's secret grotto, the party brings the Crystal Trident back to Atlantica. Unfortunately, King Triton chooses that moment to appear, and upon seeing the Crystal Trident, destroys it in a rage. Frustrated, Ariel leaves to find a quiet corner in which to sulk. With his daughter out of earshot, Triton confirms his suspicions that Sora, Donald and Goofy are from another world. Having heard of the notoriety of the Keyblade, Triton makes it clear that there is no room in his kingdom for Sora's Keyblade, and it is best for the party to leave before they disrupt the peace even further.
Meanwhile, Ariel is approached by Ursula (Pat Carroll, 89–91), the Sea Witch, a member of Maleficent's inner circle who has been spying on Sora's and Ariel's exploits for some time. Playing on Ariel's desire to see other worlds, Ursula convinces the mermaid to help her sneak into Triton's palace in exchange for freedom to venture into the outside world. Once inside Triton's throne room, Ursula reveals her true motives. She snatches King Triton's trident, wounding the Sea King in the process, and intends to use it to find the Keyhole. However, even the best laid plans can be put to a screeching halt. Her lackeys, the moray eels Flotsam and Jetsam (Corey Burton, 62), announce that the Keyhole is not to be found in the palace, and the Sea Witch has no choice but to leave.
Sora, Donald and Goofy rush off to stop Ursula, with Ariel, seeking to repent for her mistake, tagging along. They eventually find Ursula's lair, nestled away in a volcanic region on the outskirts of the kingdom. By turning her magic against her, the party are able to destroy Flotsam and Jetsam, but the climatic showdown only occurs when Ursula taps into the power of the trident and grows to monstrous form. With the combined efforts of Sora, Donald, Goofy and Ariel, Ursula is defeated in a thunderous cloud of black smoke and the trident is restored to its rightful owner.
Once the Sea Witch and her dark influence is gone, the ocean waters become much calmer. King Triton acknowledges his mistake, admitting that chaining Ariel up with unreasonable rules has only made her yearning to see the outside worlds grow stronger. This yearning was probably what drew the Keyhole to her, conveniently located in her grotto all this time and which could have been revealed by the Crystal Trident, hence Triton's previous need to destroy it. With the Sea King's blessing, Sora is finally able to seal the Keyhole. Ariel forgives the trio for lying to her about their origins, but her dream is not diminished. She knows in her heart that she will someday be able to be part of the outside world.
During a welcome ceremony upon their arrival, the Circus Bugs and Flik both discover their mutual misunderstandings. The Circus Bugs attempt to leave, but are attacked by a bird; while fleeing, they save Dot (Hayden Panettiere, 8–9), Atta's younger sister, gaining the ants' respect in the process. At Sunnyside, Andy's toys are horrified at the toddlers' rough play. At McLeach's hideout, Cody is imprisoned with a number of captured animals after refusing to divulge Marahuté's whereabouts. Cody tries to free himself and the animals, but is thwarted by Joanna (Frank Welker, 43–44), McLeach's pet goanna. At Flik's request, they continue the ruse of being "warriors", so the troupe can continue to enjoy the hospitality of the ants.

In one exhibit, Dory encounters her childhood friend Destiny (Kaitlin Olson, 42–43), a nearsighted whale shark who used to communicate with Dory through pipes, and Bailey (Ty Burrell, 50–51), a beluga whale who mistakenly believes he has lost his ability to echolocate.

Upon their arrival in Halloween Town, Sora, Donald and Goofy quickly learned that, not only were the town and its inhabitants on the spooky side of the spectrum, but they were too, transformed by the world's magic. The trio made their way into Guillotine Square, to discover smoke in the distance and a group of Heartless awaiting them. However, instead of acting upon their natural instincts, the Heartless were stagnant. The strange phenomenon turned even stranger when the Mayor (Jeff Bennett, 55) announced the arrival of the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon, 76), which then caused the Heartless to act together to create an entrance for Jack. It appears that somehow, he had been able to get the Heartless to perform!
Curiosity sparked, Sora, Donald, and Goofy followed after Jack, hoping to learn more about what he may have done in order for the Heartless to react as such. They found themselves in a strange laboratory, where Jack and his acquaintance, Dr. Finkelstein (Jess Harnell, 54), had reached a standstill in their experiment. They were trying to create a heart for the Heartless, believing that this component would allow the Heartless to act according to Jack's wishes. The only thing stopping them from moving forward was the heart itself, enclosed by a lock, to which they had no key.
Sora, intrigued by the notion of seeing Heartless dance and the possibility of not having the fight them if this experiment succeeded, kindly volunteered the use of his skills, and unlocked the heart. All that was left to do was to combine the other elements: pulse, emotion, fear, terror, hope and despair. Yet despite all this, the experiment still failed. The doctor concluded that they might still be lacking ingredients, and sends everyone off in search of his assistant Sally (Kath Soucie, 51), who had the missing memory component, and the Mayor, who knew the whereabouts of their surprise element. Sally however, was reluctant, and did not believe the plans would go well, but her pleas went unheeded.
The missing pieces of the puzzle obtained, they returned to the lab, unaware that they had been overheard by three mischievous children, Lock (Jess Harnell, 54), Shock (Kath Soucie, 51) and Barrel (Jeff Bennett, 55), who proceeded to steal the heart immediately after its completion. Without further ado, Jack, Sora, Donald and Goofy begin their mad chase to retrieve the heart, and they were led to Oogie Boogie's (Ken Page, 63–64) Manor. The party chased the children through the manor, only to find them toss the heart down a tube and out of their reach. When the trio was defeated, they admitted that the entire scheme was Oogie's idea.
With even more incentive to confront him, Sora and the others fought through wave after wave of Heartless, and found the door to the Oogie's Torture Chamber, where he was sure to be waiting for them. In front of their very eyes, Oogie consumed the heart they had so tediously worked to build. He called out for the Heartless, became enraged when a mere number of two appeared, and decided to confront the party in battle regardless.
The party proved to be more than a match for this bag of bugs, and with a rip of his seams, he emptied out, leaving behind the shell of his former self and the heart, proving the heart to be a failure. Suddenly, the manor erupted with great clouds of smoke, becoming alive with the remnants of Oogie and the power of darkness. Everyone return to finish the job, exterminating every source of darkness and preventing Oogie from making a comeback, thereby bringing his once proud mansion crumbling to the ground, as if there were never any traces of its existence.
In a great turnabout of events, the Keyhole revealed itself to be exactly where the manor once stood, and as duty calls, Sora points the majestic weapon forward and locks it, his work in this world completed. With their goodbyes said and done, the trio continues their journey, back into open space in search of Riku, Kairi, and the King.

Though all prepped up for their arrival to Neverland, Sora, Donald and Goofy never actually reach this new world due to their run-in with a pirate ship commandeered by Captain Hook (Corey Burton, 61–63). On board the ship, Sora reunites with both Riku and Kairi, however Kairi is but a shadow of her former self – a lifeless shell who is unable to respond to Sora's cries of worry. Riku is more concerned with the fact that he was the one who managed to save Kairi, not Sora. In his warped view, Sora has abandoned him and Kairi for the Keyblade and his new friends, and Riku takes it upon himself to accomplish the mission of finding their friend. To do so, he has embraced the darkness, and as a result, gains control over the Heartless.
Sora, Donald and Goofy are brought to the ship's hold as prisoners, but they soon meet up with Peter Pan (Blayne Weaver, 42) and Tinker Bell, two stowaways who have sneaked on board. Peter agrees to assist in the trio's escape from the ship, at least until he finds a girl named Wendy (Hynden Walch, 47).
Inside Hook's cabin, Riku relays a message from Maleficent: Wendy is not one of the sixteen chosen Princesses, all of whom play a pivotal role in the sorceress's ultimate plan. This infuriates Hook, who went to a great deal of trouble to capture the London girl. Riku orders for Kairi to be brought to the cabin, while Wendy will be disposed as dead weight.
After much sneaking about, the group finally finds Wendy and Kairi. Kairi's condition has not improved, though miraculously, her body shows a slight response when Sora reaches out to her. The happiness is cut short when Kairi's body is dragged into Riku's clutches, and together they disappear into a portal of darkness. To make matters worse, Peter, upon finding Wendy, chooses to abandon the trio in favor of the girl's safety.
Everything climaxes on deck, where it is revealed that Riku has brought Kairi to Maleficent's headquarters, the ruins of Hollow Bastion. Hook has also captured Tinker Bell, and in exchange for her freedom, Sora is required to either hand over his Keyblade, or walk the plank into the gaping jaws of the crocodile below. Just as he is about to become croc chowder, Peter arrives on the scene, telling Sora to believe that he can fly. Faith, trust and pixie dust propels Sora into the air, and together they manage to free Tink and defeat Hook. Thrown overboard, Hook becomes the Crocodile's next potential meal, and the captain is forced to flee into the horizon.
Overwhelmed by his experiences, Sora vows to tell Kairi everything that has happened, even though all evidence has made it clear that his friend has lost her heart. Flying has taught Sora one thing: The impossible can happen if he believes, hence Sora knows in his heart that he will be able to save Kairi.
Prompted by Tinker Bell, the group fly to the Clock Tower, where the Keyhole to this world lies waiting. Once sealed, Sora obtains a Navigation Gummi, hopefully the last piece he needs to reach his missing friends. Wendy and Peter part on good terms, for though her adventure is over, she can always return to Neverland as long as Peter is in her heart.
Le Frog and his subordinates intercept Roddy and Rita and retrieve the cable, but the duo use a plastic bag to lift themselves out of the sewer, snatching away the cable during the ascent and get Roddy home, though the Jammy Dodger is destroyed in the sewage waterfall. Back home, Roddy pays Rita the promised ruby and an emerald, then proceeds to show her around his house. She at first believes he has family in the home, but noticing his cage, she realizes he is a pet. Roddy tries to pass Sid off as his brother, though Sid and Rita know each other. Rita tries to persuade Roddy to come with her, but he is too proud to admit that he is lonely. She departs. Losing his trust in the Guardians, a shamed Jack isolates himself in Antarctica, where Pitch tries to convince him to join his side. When Jack refuses, Pitch threatens to kill Baby Tooth unless Jack gives him his staff, the source of his magic. He agrees, but Pitch breaks Jack's staff and throws him down a chasm. After a second loop of worlds is completed by the trio, they must once again call upon Cid to make the necessary adjustments to their ship to incorporate a new navigation gummi. While the three wait, Sora's mood takes an uncharacteristic slump as he begins questioning their progress and the fact they remain cheerful despite none of them being any closer to their initial goals. Somewhat calmed by advice from the other two, Sora lapses deeper than ever before into one of his visions, viewing a moment from Kairi's past, the girl at a very young age seen with her grandmother, who tells her a story of the war for the light in childrens' hearts.

November 2018
Evelyn has put Helen captive in a freezing chamber, revealing herself to be the mastermind behind the Screenslaver, stating that she desires superheroes and sees her brother's missions as a threat to humankind's independence. Remy is captured by Skinner, who intends to use his talents to create a line of frozen food products. Ratigan has them tied to a spring-loaded mousetrap connected with a Rube Goldberg machine laid out to kill them both. His anonymously written ransom note reaches Jenny, who sets out to get Oliver back at the pier. Although Taran feels foolish for aspiring to destroy the cauldron alone, his companions show their belief in him; and it seems that Eilonwy and Taran will kiss. Suddenly, the celebration is interrupted by the Horned King's soldiers who have finally reached the marshes themselves. They seize the cauldron and arrest everyone but Gurgi, and take their prisoners back to the castle. Later, Dusty is devastated by a call form his friends at Propwash Junction telling him that all attempts at finding a replacement gearbox have failed, and his racing career is over. Vanellope is inspired to return to Slaughter Race, who would become an aspiring princess of the game. Jenny meets with Fagin, who is shocked that he had been dealing with a little girl. He is bothered by his conscience after seeing Jenny distraught over losing Oliver. A long and difficult journey finally brings Sora, Donald and Goofy to Maleficent's headquarters, the ruins of a formerly majestic castle known as Hollow Bastion. It is here where Sora reunites with Riku, who by this point of time have become completely antagonistic and has a stunning revelation: Sora was never the true Keyblade Wielder; He was simply a messenger boy for Riku, the true Chosen One. To add insult to the injury, Donald and Goofy, on orders to follow the Keyblade Wielder, decide to abandon Sora than risk defying the King's orders. Though broken and betrayed with only his childhood wooden sword as his means of defense, Sora gains strength from another intruder, the Beast (Robby Benson, 62). Possessing no dark powers and no vessel to bring him here, the Beast has found his way to Hollow Bastion through sheer force of will in pursuit of his beloved Belle (Julie Nathanson, 43), who is being held hostage by Maleficent, and he will not leave without her even though he is severely injured by Riku. Deciding that he will not come this far only to fail now, Sora and the Beast team up to navigate the castle's labyrinth passageways, eventually reaching the Entrance Hall.
Upon returning they are caught by Silver, who already captured Doppler and Amelia. Silver forces Jim to use the map. After Ralph gets the Sugar Rush wheel purchased at eBay, he accidentally answered over the phone and put on mute, finding Vanellope back in Slaughter Race confiding in Shank about her desire to stay there and leave the arcade. Desperate to not lose his friend, Ralph approaches Spamley about any possible virus that would make Slaughter Race more boring and less desirable for Vanellope just like what happened when they are playing TRON. Lewis then discovers that Cornelius Robinson is, fact, a future version of himself, and Wilbur is his future son. Lewis also finds out that the Bowler Hat Guy is a grown-up version of Lewis' roommate, Michael "Goob" Yagoobian (Matthew Josten, 9–11). Because he was always kept awake by Lewis doing his projects, Goob fell asleep during an important Little League game. After failing to make an important catch that cost their game, the teammates had beaten him up. Good became so bitter as a result, that he was never adopted and remained in the orphanage long after it closed. Doris was "DOR-15", one of Lewis' failed and abandoned inventions. Bowler Hat Guy and Doris blamed Lewis for their misfortunes. Spamley and Gord take Ralph to the dark web where they meet a virus creator named Double Dan (Alfred Molina, 65), who gives them Arthur (John DiMaggio, 50), an insecurity virus that analyzes any imperfection and spreads it to other parts of its surrounding area. Lured away by an illusion of Belle being transformed into a Heartless, the Beast leaves Sora alone to face Riku, whose descent into evil is such that he is clad in a suit made of darkness. Though his former best friend is armed with the Keyblade and dark powers, Sora makes his stand: Though the darkness can harm his body, it can't touch his heart, because it has grown stronger due to the connections Sora has forged with the people he has met on his journey. Unwilling to stand aside and let Riku destroy their friend, Donald and Goofy choose their friendship with Sora over their loyalty to their King, and the strength Sora gains from his friends wins him back the Keyblade. Chicken Little and his friends discover the the orange alien, which calls him Kirby. Encouraged by Sweet, Milo rallies the crew, and the Atlanteans to stop Rourke. The map directs them to a portal that opens on any location in the universe, which Jim realizes is how Flint conducted his raids. They open the portal to the center of Treasure Planet, discovering that the planet is really a space station built eons ago that Flint commandeered to stow his treasure. The pirates prepare to collect the loot. The Horned King uses the cauldron to raise the dead and his Cauldron-born army begins to pour out into the world. Shell-shocked, Riku escapes in need of an answer as to why Sora, for once, is stronger than him. He is approached by the shadowy figure Sora met the day before the destruction of Destiny Islands, who reveals that the only way for Riku to become stronger is to open his heart to darkness, and to show no fear once the darkness is assimilated into every fiber of his being. A desperate Riku quickly does so, unknowingly allowing his body to become a host for the shadowy figure, thereby granting him a physical presence in the world.
Ratigan sets out for Buckingham Palace, where his henchman kidnap the queen. Basil deduces the trap's weakness and escapes along with Dawson and Olivia just in time. Talking to Sid about half-time, Roddy pieces together the Toad's plan: to open the gate during halftime of the World Cup, when all the humans will most likely be using their toilets, causing a great flood and drowning the rats and their underground city in sewage. Roddy gives Sid his cushy position and has him flush him back to the sewers to find Rita and save the city. Rita is soon captured by the Toad. Frollo prepares to burn Esmeralda at the stake after she rejects his advances. In the castle's upper chambers, Maleficent beholds as the hearts of the sixteen captured Princesses of Heart reveal the Hollow Bastion Keyhole, however, the pathway to Kingdom Hearts remains incomplete due to the absence of the sixteenth Princess. Meanwhile, the now possessed Riku crafts an artificial Keyblade from the sixteen pure hearts. At the race in Florida, McQueen is coached by Smokey from the pits, and manages to gradually push up through the ranks. At Buckingham Palace, Ratigan forces Hiram to operate the toy Queen, while the real one is taken to be fed to Felicia, Ratigan's pet cat. The toy Queen declares Ratigan the ruler of all Mousedom, and he announces his tyrannical plans for his new "subjects". Overconfident in her abilities, Maleficent takes matters into her own hands by personally confronting Sora, Donald, Goofy and the Beast. After Basil, Dawson, and Olivia save Hiram and the real Queen, they restrain Fidget and Ratigan's other henchmen. Basil seizes control of the mechanical queen, making it denounce Ratigan as a fraud and tyrant while breaking it into pieces. Sterling, who still believes McQueen cannot win, orders Cruz back to the training center, despite her wanting to stay and watch the race. McQueen overhears this, and remembers Cruz's speech about wanting to be a racer. He devises a plan; the next time he pits, he tells his crew to outfit Cruz in his racing number, against Sterling's wishes, to try and finally beat Storm. Though well versed in the dark arts, Maleficent is greatly weakened by her battle with the team. Quasimodo rescues her and brings her to the cathedral. The crowd, enraged by Ratigan's treason, turns on him, and he escapes on his dirigible with Fidget, holding Olivia hostage. Phoebus releases the gypsies and rallies the citizens of Paris against Frollo and his men, who try to break into the cathedral. In a moment of weakness, she is caught by surprised when the now possessed Riku seemingly betrays her: He plunges the artificial Keyblade into the sorceress's heart, causing her to be consumed by darkness and transforming her into a fearsome dragon. Basil, Dawson, and Hiram create their own craft with a matchbox and some small helium-filled balloons, held together by the Union Jack. Cruz is initially shaken by her lack of confidence, but Smokey and McQueen help her to pull ahead. The Toad could then use the depolluted city as a home for his own tadpole offspring. Ratigan tosses Fidget overboard to lighten the load, and he attempts to drive the dirigible himself. Basil jumps onto the dirigible to confront Ratigan, causing it to crash straight into the Big Ben clocktower. Inside the clocktower, Basil manages to get Ratigan's cape stuck on some gears. He rescues Olivia and safely delivers her to Hiram. Ratigan breaks free and attacks Basil, eventually knocking him to the dirigible. Quasimodo and the gargoyles pour molten lead onto the streets to ensure no one enters, but Frollo successfully manages to get inside. On the last lap, Cruz catches up to Storm. Together, they defeat the Toad and his henchmen and freeze the wave of sewage generated by the flushing of countless toilets during half-time with liquid nitrogen before it drowns the entire rat population. Storm, feeling threatened, tries to intimidate Cruz – even to the point of ramming her against the wall, but she uses one of Doc's tricks to repel off it, take the lead, and win. When the clock strikes 10:00, the bell hits for the loudest sound, and Ratigan falls to his death, taking Basil with him. In the final round, they defeat Roar Omega Roar with a decisive final scare by Mike in the simulation bedroom. After a grueling battle, dragon Maleficent finally falls to the teamwork of Sora and his friends, and all that is left of her is a stain on the ground. Basil grabs a part of Ratigan's dirigible and saves himself. Cruz celebrates her victory. Possessed Riku claims that Maleficent was a puppet after all: Though she has spent years warning her allies not to lose themselves in the darkness, she failed to notice the darkness eating away at her own heart, leaving her vulnerable to be manipulated by the Heartless. "A fitting end for such a fool", he claims.
However, Mike soon discovers that he only won because Sulley secretly tampered with the machine's difficulty to the easiest setting to give Mike a maximum score.

Ralph recovers the medal in the Older Net, but it's completely broken in two. Eventually, the pair make it to land, and Dusty confesses his physical disability. Blade advises Dusty not to give up. They shelter in an abandoned mine while the fire passes. McLeach then sends Joanna to eat Marahuté's eggs, but Bernard manages to trick her using egg-shaped stones, and she leaves without harming the real eggs.
Determined to prove that he can become a scarer, Mike breaks into the school's door lab and enters a door to the human world that leads to a summer camp. Meanwhile, Roar Omega Roar offers to reinstate Sulley, but he refuses, instead confessing to Hardscrabble that he cheated, just as she is alerted to Mike's break-in. The undead army collapses.

But Sulley sneaks through to rescue Mike. Bowler Hat Guy is dominated by Doris' clones who mind controlled the human population into slavery. In a video camera, it is shown that Goob is betrayed and shocked by Doris' takeover of everyone and is presumably killed by Doris' clones. In desperation, Joy abandons Sadness and tries to ride a "recall tube" back to Headquarters but the ground below the tube collapses, breaking it and plunging Joy and Bing Bong into the Memory Dump. At the bottom of the abyss, Joy begins to lose hope and breaks into tears, but then discovers a sad memory of an ice hockey game that turned happy when their parents and friends comforted her.

Sora finally reaches Kairi in the prison of the Princesses of Hearts, but she has merely been reduced to a comatose shell. It is here before the Hollow Bastian Keyhole does Possessed Riku reveals the truth: Riku has become by Ansem, Seek of Darkness, once the great sage of this world, but who has discarded his body and sanity for the temptations of power and knowledge.

In the invasion, Buck, now regaining his pride and trust in his son, defends him from the aliens. After reconciling, Mike and Sulley try to return. Milo and the crew fight against Rourke and the mercenaries in the ensuing battle inside the volcano when the ballooned zeppelin is about to reach the surface. Mike and Sulley are unable to exit after Hardscrabble deactivates the door while waiting for the authorities to arrive. Rourke throws Helga off the zeppelin to lighten the load. Anger's idea has disabled the console, rendering them apathetic while "Nature Island" was about to fall apart. Pursued by camp rangers, Mike realizes that the only way to escape is to generate enough scream energy to power the door from their side. When the Horned King spots Taran at large, he infers the turn of events, says that Taran has interfered for the last time, and throws the youth toward the cauldron. However, the cauldron's magic is out of control. When the zeppelin is about to crash, Milo uses a shard of crystal to crystallize Rourke, killing him. It consumes the Horned King in a tunnel of fire and blood, killing him. Working together, Sulley and Mike terrify the camp rangers and generate an overwhelming amount of scream energy. Chicken Little, Buck and Kirby get vaporized. Mike and Sulley return to the lab seconds before the device overloads and explodes in front of the surprised Hardscrabble.

Winter 2018/2019
December 2018
After a mysterious Inuit woman (Tress MacNeille, 67) saves Homer from a polar bear, Homer has an epiphany and decides to return to Springfield to save the town from danger. Five years later, Bolt and Penny star in a hit television series called Bolt, in which Bolt uses various superpowers to protect Penny from the villain. To gain a more realistic performance, the show's producers have deceived Bolt his entire life, arranging the filming in such a way that Bolt believes everything in the show is real and that he really has superpowers, including a devastatingly powerful sonic scream-like "superbark".
Not too much later, after Sora regains human form in Hollow Bastion thanks to Kairi's intervention, the four of them now return for a final time to Traverse Town. In a house above the Third District, Sora relays to Leon, Yuffie and Aerith the events that unfolded in Hollow Bastion, and all three agree Sora must return to seal the world's keyhole that is still issuing forth with darkness. However, now that the world is more immersed in darkness than ever, a new route to the massive castle is required, and the ever-trustworthy Cid is consulted, revealing to them the hiding place of a final navigation gummi underneath Traverse Town that would return them directly to Hollow Bastion. After retrieving the piece, Sora thanks Kairi and explains to her what happened and how it felt as he was falling into darkness. When she says she needs to come back to Hollow Bastion with them – to help Riku – Sora outright refuses, but Kairi, still seeking to help, places in Sora's hand a charm she had been making, and from it, Sora gleans a new form for his Keyblade: the Oathkeeper.
Meanwhile, Marge and the children are captured by the EPA after a conversation of theirs is overheard by the NSA. As the universe becomes ravaged by the Heartless, Sora and his friends return to Hollow Bastion to seal the Keyhole, a feat made possibly only because the Princesses of Heart; Belle, Anna, Elsa, Ariel, Moana, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose, 46), Rapunzel (Mandy Moore, 34), Merida (Kelly Macdonald, 42), Cinderella (Jennifer Hale, 46–47), Aurora (Kate Higgins, 49), Snow White (Katherine von Till, 43), Pocahontas (Irene Bedard, 51), Mulan (Ming-Na Wen, 55), Jasmine, and Alice; have pooled their power together to hold back the darkness. Not wanting to go empty-handed, Silver attempts to escape on a boat loaded with treasure, but eventually lets it go to save Jim. With lava flowing towards the city, Kida (in her crystal form) rises into the air and creates a protective shield. The survivors escape to the ship, but it gets damaged and is unable to leave the planet in time. Jim rigs a makeshift rocket-powered sailboard, and rides ahead of the ship towards the portal. At the last moment, Jim sets the portal to Montressor Spaceport, and both he and the crew safely clear the destruction. The lava breaks away harmlessly, showing a resorted Atlantis. The crystal returns Kida to Milo. Once the Keyhole is sealed, the Princesses sense a great power rising in the horizon, and it is this great power Sora has to face if he ever were to return home safely with Riku and Kairi. Leon's group has also made their way to Hollow Bastion, which was once their childhood home. However, they come bearing sad news. Once Sora defeats Ansem, all the worlds will be restored, but impassable walls will isolate each world once more. Sora would never be able to meet any of his new-found friends again. Leon and Aerith however assuage Sora's worry with an advice: "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other. No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together again." It is with this mantra Sora heads off towards his final journey, certain that they will always be with each other in spirit.

January 2019
Years later in the present day, Carl (Edward Asner, 79) still lives in the house by stubbornly holding out while the neighborhood homes are torn down and replaced by skyscrapers. A pirate named Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas, 58) travels to Bikini Atoll, where he obtains a magical book that has the power to make any text written upon it real. The book tells the story of SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny, 56) and his adventures in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob works for Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown, 60) at the Krusty Krab fast food restaurant, where he cooks Krabby Patties. SpongeBob has spent years protecting the secret formula of the Krabby Patty from Plankton (Mr. Lawrence, 50), the owner of the Chum Bucket eatery. One day, Plankton attacks the Krusty Krab in an attempt to steal the formula. After a battle involving giant foods and condiments, Plankton feigns surrender and uses a decoy of himself to give Mr. Krabs a fake penny. When he accidentally injures a construction worker (Danny Mann, 57), the court deems him a public menace and orders him to move to a retirement home.
Plankton hides in the penny to gain access in Krabs' vault. Plankton steals the formula, leaving a fake document in its place. SpongeBob catches Plankton and they fight over the formula, which disappears. Without the secret formula, Krabby Patties cannot be made, causing customers to become ravenous. After a cliffhanger episode causes Bolt to believe Penny has been kidnapped, he escapes from his on-set trailer in Hollywood but knocks himself unconscious and is trapped inside a box of foam peanuts which is shipped to New York City. SpongeBob is the only one who believes Plankton is innocent; he creates a giant soap bubble, in which they fly away. Bikini Bottom is immediately reduced to a wasteland due to the absence of the much-relied-on Krabby Patty. After a scuffle between Burger Beard and some seagulls, a page of the book is discarded in the ocean and lands on Sandy Cheeks' (Carolyn Lawrence, 51) tree dome, causing Sandy to think the page is a sign from the "sandwich gods". SpongeBob proposes teaming up with Plankton to find the formula but Plankton does not quite understand the concept of teamwork. They decide to travel back in time to the moment before the formula disappeared and go to the Chum Bucket to rescue Karen (Jill Talley, 56), whom they want to help power the time machine. However, Carl resolves to keep his promise to Ellie by turning his house into a makeshift airship using thousands of helium balloons saved from his old job as a balloon salesman. In New York, Bolt resumes his search for Penny and quickly finds that his "superpowers" are useless. He encounters Mittens (Susie Essman, 53), a feral cat who bullies pigeons out of their food. Bolt compels Mittens to guide him back to Penny — Mittens being convinced her captor is a lunatic — and the two start their journey westward by truck. Russell (Jordan Nagai, 8), a young "Wilderness Explorer" who visits Carl in his effort to earn his final merit badge for assisting the elderly, becomes an accidental stowaway. The flying house encounters a cumulonimbus storm and ends up high above South America. The house lands on a tepui opposite Paradise Falls. Carl and Russell harness themselves to the still-buoyant house and begin to walk it across the mesa, hoping to reach the falls before the balloons deflate. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, Penny is distraught over Bolt's disappearance but is convinced by the studio to continue filming with a less experienced lookalike dog. Surprised at his first feelings of hunger, Bolt is shown by Mittens how to act like a cute but needy dog, obtaining food for them both at an RV park. Russell encounters a tall, colorful bird whom he names "Kevin" (Pete Docter, 40). They then meet a Golden Retriever named Dug (Bob Peterson, 48), who wears a special collar that allows him to speak and who vows to take the bird to his master. They are joined by Rhino (Mark Walton, 40), a fearless hamster and fanatical Bolt fan. Rhino's unwavering faith in Bolt substantiates the dog's illusions about himself, but allows Mittens to figure out Bolt is from a television show. She tries to tell Bolt this, but Bolt simply becomes frustrated. Attempting to "superbark" her repeatedly, the noise draws the attention of an Animal Control patrol and Bolt and Mittens are both captured and taken to an animal shelter. SpongeBob and Plankton assemble the machine and travel far into the future, where they meet Bubbles (Matt Berry, 44), a magical dolphin who acts as an overseer of the galaxy, and inadvertently get him fired. Bolt, freed from the patrol van by Rhino, finally realizes and accepts that he is just a normal dog, but regains his confidence after Rhino (oblivious to this revelation) exhorts him to heroism.
The next day, they encounter a pack of aggressive dogs led by Alpha (Bob Peterson, 48), a Doberman Pinscher, and are taken to their master, who turns out to be an elderly Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer, 79). Muntz invites Carl and Russell aboard his dirigible, where he explains to them that he is still desperately searching for the giant bird he promised to bring back, which is revealed to be of Kevin's species. Carl begins to realize that Muntz's obsession with finding the bird has driven him insane. When Russell notes the bird's similarity to Kevin, Muntz becomes hostile, believing they are attempting to capture the bird themselves and alluding to other suspected rivals having faced death at his hands. SpongeBob and Plankton retrieve the formula but it turns out to be the fake one left by Plankton. Burger Beard converts his pirate ship into a food truck and sells Krabby Patties at a beach community. Sandy suggests making a sacrifice to appease the gods. Carl and Russell flee with Kevin and Dug, but Muntz captures Kevin and starts a fire beneath Carl's house, forcing him to choose between saving it or Kevin. Carl saves the house, allowing Muntz to capture Kevin. Russell is upset at Carl for giving Kevin to Muntz. The two then arrive at Paradise Falls. Carl looks through Ellie's childhood scrapbook and is surprised to find that she has filled in the blank pages with photos of their marriage, along with a note written from her hospital bed, thanking him for the "adventure" and encouraging him to have a new one. As the town attempts to sacrifice SpongeBob, he and Mr. Krabs smell Krabby Patties. The repentant Carl goes outside, only to see Russell sailing off with some balloons and a propulsive leaf blower to rescue Kevin. By throwing out his furniture and keepsakes, Carl lightens the house enough to follow. Dug shows up and Carl lets him stay with him.

February 2019
The Bikini Bottom townsfolk follow the scent, which leads to the surface. Bubbles returns, reveals he hated his job and repays SpongeBob by granting him and his friends the ability to breathe on land. Bubbles launches SpongeBob and the others to the surface. The team, now animated in CGI, lands on a beach and finds the source of the Krabby Patty scent is Burger Beard's food truck. Burger Beard stole the formula using the book to rewrite the story; he uses it to banish the gang to Pelican Island. SpongeBob uses the page Sandy had to transform himself and the others into superheroes – The Invincibubble (SpongeBob), Mr. Superawesomeness (Patrick) (Bill Fagerbakke, 61), Sour Note (Squidward) (Rodger Bumpass, 67), and Sir Pinch-a-Lot (Mr. Krabs) – but they leave the page and Plankton behind. They rescue Mittens from the shelter. Russell is captured by Muntz, but Carl manages to board the dirigible, tether the house, and free Russell and Kevin. They return and find Burger Beard, who drives away with the formula, and give chase. Dug saddles Alpha with the cone of shame and thereby unexpectedly becomes the dogs' new leader. During the ensuing battle, the team destroys the book but Burger Beard overpowers them all. Plankton appears as a muscle-bound hero named Plank-Ton and assists them. Muntz determinedly pursues them around the airship and disables Carl's house. Plankton and SpongeBob create a bubble attack to defeat Burger Beard and retrieve the Krabby Patty formula. Muntz inadvertently gets his foot caught on some loose balloon lines, causing him to fall to his death. The house, having lost too many balloons to fly, descends out of sight through the clouds. After sending Burger Beard flying to Bikini Atoll, Plankton – having learned the value of teamwork – returns the formula to Mr. Krabs. The gang uses the final page's magic to return to Bikini Bottom. Carl and Russell reunite Kevin with her chicks and fly the dirigible back home.
As they continue west, Bolt and Mittens form a close friendship in which she teaches Bolt how to be an ordinary dog and enjoy typical dog activities. Mittens makes plans for the three of them to stay in Las Vegas, but hearing Bolt is still drawn to find Penny, she tells him Penny is only an actor, and humans never truly love their pets, and eventually betray and abandon them, as happened to her. Bolt refuses to believe her and continues on alone to Hollywood; with Rhino's encouragement his two friends follow shortly after. Unlocking his memories, Jack learns that he was a mortal teenager who fell into the frozen pond while saving his younger sister (Olivia Mattingly). Inspired, Jack repairs his staff and returns to the lair to rescue the kidnapped baby fairies. Remy is promptly freed by Django and Emile. Linguini apologizes to Remy, having been unable to cook without him, and reveals the truth to his staff, who believe he is insane and resign. Colette returns after recalling Gusteau's motto, "Anyone can cook." Once Maleficent meets her demise at the hands of Sora, Hades takes drastic action and sets up the Hades Cup to get rid of Sora and Hercules. After the Circus Bugs distract the grasshoppers long enough to rescue the Queen, Flik deploys the bird; it initially fools the grasshoppers, but P.T. Flea, who also mistakes it for a real bird, burns it, exposing it as a decoy. When Sora defeats Hades, Hades gets tossed into a cage and locked away. But Hades being a god allows him to escape, and later, summon four titans to wreak havoc on Olympus Coliseum while he runs off into hiding. Hopper beats Flik in retaliation, saying that the ants are humble and lowly life forms who live to serve the grasshoppers. However, Flik responds that Hopper actually fears the colony, because he has always known what they are capable of, inspiring the ants and the Circus Bugs to fight back against the grasshoppers. The ants attempt to force Hopper out of Ant Island using P.T. Flea's circus cannon, but it suddenly begins to rain. In the ensuing chaos, Hopper frees himself from the cannon, and abducts Flik. After the Circus Bugs fail to catch them, Atta rescues Flik. As Hopper pursues them, Flik lures him to the nest of the bird he, Dot, and the Circus Bugs encounter earlier. Thinking that the bird is another decoy, Hopper taunts it before discovering in panic that it is real, and is captured and fed to its chicks. Impressed by Remy's determination, Django and the clan offer to help, and cook under Remy's direction while Linguini waits tables. Skinner and a health inspector (Tony Fucile, 44–45) attempt to interfere, but are bound and gagged. Remy creates a variation on ratatouille which reminds Ego of his mother's cooking. Ego asks to meet the chef, so Linguini and Colette wait until the other diners have left before introducing Remy.
Having gained their respect, Arlo joins the Tyrannosaurus in driving the cattle south when he sees the familiar mountain peaks of his homeland in the distance, and leaves with Spot to return home. Along the way, they encounter an adult feral caveman in the distance, and though Spot shows interest, Arlo dissuades him and they continue on. As another storm approaches, Thunderclap and the pterodactyls return and attack and carry Spot away. Arlo becomes entangled in vines. Arlo has a vision of Henry leading him home. Arlo instead resolves to save Spot, making the vision of his father proud before it fades away. Arlo finds and attacks the pterodactyls, who have cornered Spot at the river. Arlo and Spot together plunder Thunderclap and the pterodactyls into the water, where they are swept helplessly downstream. With another flash flood occurs, Arlo leaps into the water to rescue Spot as the two are swept away toward a waterfall. Arlo protects Spot as the two plummet down the fall, and carries him to shore.
As they approach Arlo's home, the two again hear the unknown caveman call, and are approached by an entire cave family. With great reluctance, Arlo pushes Spot to join his adoptive family, and the two of them share a tearful goodbye.
_
The final showdown arrives. As Sora, Donald and Goofy observe the crumbling, apocalyptic world, Sora voices out a concern: If the End of the World would vanish once all the worlds are restored, what would happen to them? Goofy however reassures Sora: Their hearts will not go anywhere, and despite their circumstances, they will find their friends again. Sora's hope in returning Kairi's lucky charm to her is reaffirmed. Bolt reaches the studio and finds Penny embracing his lookalike, unaware that Penny still misses him and her affection for the lookalike is only a part of a rehearsal. A broken-hearted Bolt leaves, but Mittens, on a gantry in the studio, sees Penny telling her mother how much she misses Bolt. The trek through End of the World proves treacherous as the Heartless are strongest here, and it does not take too long for the team to discover that this world is made up of the remnants of all the worlds which have been consumed by darkness. The way forward is briefly impeded by world's demonic denizen, Chernabog, but even he is no match for Sora, Donald and Goofy's teamwork. His demise opens the pathway into the heart of End of the World. Bernard rides a wild razorback pig he tamed using a horse whispering technique he learned from Jake. Due to Pitch, every child in the world except Jamie disbelieves, drastically weakening the Guardians. Finding Jamie's belief wavering, Jack makes it snow in his room, renewing Jamie's belief and letting him see Jack. Sid inadvertently destroys the entire city when he attempts to remove one of the crystals to present Brooke with, immediately aging them to their real ages and revealing their true crone-like appearances. Once Brooke convinces the Geotopians that preventing the asteroid's fall is more important than their lost youth, they and The Herd help with Buck's plan, which is to fill up a geyser with the crystals so that the pressure launches them into space to draw the asteroid away. When the wildfire threatens the lodge, the national park's superintendent, Cad Spinner (John Michael Higgins, 54–56), selfishly diverts the entire water supply to the roof sprinklers to prevent the lodge from burning. This prevents the firefighters from making fire retardant for their firefighting duties.
Mittens follows Bolt and explains. At the same time, the Bolt lookalike panics during the show's filming and accidentally knocks over some flaming torches, setting the sound stage on fire with Penny trapped inside. By going through a door resembling the one in Sora's Awakening, Sora and his friends return to the place where it all started: Destiny Islands, but it is soon clear that it is merely a nightmarish imitation of Sora's once peaceful home. It is here they meet Possessed Riku, whose body has been shaped to resemble Ansem's own. Sora calls out for his missing friend, but Ansem advises him not to brother, for Rich's heart belongs again to darkness. Ansem declares his philosophy: All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different, for darkness is its truest essence. Sora calls out on it, believing that though the heart may be weak, deep down there is a light that never goes out. Unimpressed, Ansem challenges Sora's naive beliefs in a fierce final battle. With the help of KnowsMore, Vanellope and Ralph escape the horde of virus Ralphs on Yesss's limo. Lewis repairs the second time machine. With only their pre-existing tank loads, the firefighters manage to help the evacuees escape the fire. Jack and Jamie gather the boy's friends, whose renewed belief bolsters their fight against Pitch. McLeach takes his captives to Crocodile Falls, a huge waterfall at the end of the river he threw Cody's backpack into. McLeach ties Cody up and hangs him over a group of crocodiles in attempts to feed him to them, but Bernard arrives and disables McLeach's vehicle. Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch, and Nani all give chase to Gantu's spaceship in Jumba's personal spaceship. Ralph and Vanellope uses Yesss's limo in attempt to lead the horde of virus Ralphs to an anti-virus software. McLeach then tries to shoot the rope holding Cody above the water, but Bernard tricks Joanna into crashing into McLeach, sending both of them into the water.
The battle leads everyone present to a tall stained-glass door: The Door to Darkness, and beyond it, the Realm of Darkness with Kingdom Hearts lying within. As hearts are made of darkness, so do too the source of all hearts? The virus Ralphs form a King Kong-inspired giant, known as Ralphzilla, that captures Vanellope, as Ralph attempts to fight them off. The crocodiles attack McLeach and Joanna, while behind them Cody falls into the water as the damaged rope breaks. Bernard dives into the water and holds Cody long enough for Jake and Bianca to free Marahuté. The dromaeosaurs attempt to intervene, but Buck convinces Roger that they will not be able to survive the asteroid, and he in turn convinces Gavin and Gertie to help. While Joanna flees, McLeach fends off the crocodiles, but forgets until too late about the waterfall and plunges over it to his death. Dusty is alerted that two elderly campers named Harvey (Jerry Stiller, 89–91) and Winnie (Anne Meara, aged 85) that he met earlier are trapped on a burning bridge deep in the fire zone. He races to the scene and is forced to push his engine to the maximum to climb vertically up a waterfall to refill his water tanks to drop water to save the campers, as the only other surface water nearby is the river in Augerin Canyon, too shallow, twisty, and rocky for him to scoop from. Joy reunites with a despondent Sadness and takes them to Headquarters, only to discover the idea Anger got. Simultaneously, Blade shows up and assists Harvey and Winnie by hooking up the former, preventing her from falling. Bolt arrives and the two reunite inside the burning studio, but are unable to escape before Penny begins to suffocate from the smoke. Vanellope surrenders as Ralph was about to get killed but he catches their attention and calls them out on their possessiveness of Vanellope, claiming that letting go and accepting her choice to stay in Slaughter Race doesn't have to mean the end of their friendship, and can actually strengthen their bond. Penny begs Bolt to go but Bolt refuses to leave her. To the surprise of the others, Joy hands control of the console to Sadness, who is able to extract the idea, reactivating the console. Bolt uses his "superbark" through the building's air vent, alerting the firefighters to their location and allowing both of them to be rescued in time. Having let go of his insecurities, Ralphzilla and the virus disintegrates, in the process dropping Ralph. Pitch threatens them, but their dreams prove stronger than his nightmares, resulting in Sandy's resurrection. Marahuté is allowed to save Cody and Bernard just as they go over the waterfall. Dusty successfully drops water and extinguishes the bridge fire, allowing the campers to escape just before the bridge collapses. Ralph is saved with the help of the Disney Princesses. The plan works, and the asteroid is pulled back into space. After a long chase, they finally rescue Lilo. But just as Ansem implores Kingdom Hearts to bestow him ultimate power, Sora's hypothesis is proven true. A burst of pure light is released from its depths and destroys Ansem. Defeated and disbelieved in, Pitch tries to retreat, but his nightmares, sensing his own fears, turn on him and trap him in his lair. Lewis goes to confront Doris and destroys her by promising to never invent her. Dusty's overstressed gearbox fails completely, his engine stalls, and he crashes.
With the Door to Darkness opened however, legions of Heartless are about to break free. Riku and King Mickey Mouse (Bret Iwan, 34–36) arrive at the other side of the Door. Two hearts and two Keyblades, one on each side, are needed to close the Door, and what is more, only Heartless can pass through the Door to Darkness. With the fate of the world at stake, Sora is forced to lock it, trapping Riku and Mickey in the Realm of Darkness. The sealing of the Door to Darkness restores everything to normal. Penny and her mother quit when their overeager agent (Greg Germann, 50–51) proposes they exploit the incident for publicity purposes. Unconscious, Dusty is airlifted back to base for the five-day repair. Sadness re-installs the core memories, turning them sad. Joy and Sadness work the console together, creating a new amalgamated bitter-sweet core memory in their Headquarters; a new island forms (representing the legacies of the Disney Fairies franchise, Anna and Elsa's childhood era, Pixar, John Lasseter, and the deaths of Walt Disney in 1966 and the chairman of Marvel Comics: Stan Lee in 2018), representing their acceptance of their new life. The three witches come to recover the now-inert Black Cauldron. However, Taran has finally realized Gurgi's true friendship, and he persuades them to revive the wild thing in exchange for the cauldron, forcing him to give up his magical sword permanently. Fflewddur challenges the reluctant witches to demonstrate their powers by the revival, and upon hearing Fflewddur's remarks, the witches honor the request, restoring Gurgi back to life. After Gurgi is resurrected, he pushes Taran and Eilonwy into a kiss. The four friends then journey back to Caer Dallben. The Internet is resorted and Vanellope decides to stay in Slaughter Race after Shank arranged her to respawn in her new home, with Ralph giving her half of his medal to Vanellope and they bid each other a tearful farewell. Bernard, despite to prevent any further incidents, proposes to Bianca, who eagerly and happily accepts while Jake salutes him with a new-found respect. Safe at last, the group departs for Cody's home. Fagin gives Oliver back freely. Sykes, whom Fagin had informed of the deal beforehand and was watching from the shadows, drives by and kidnaps Jenny, intending to ransom her and declaring Fagin's debt paid.
_
Dory comes across a trail of shells; remembering that when she was young, her parents had set out a similar trail to help her find back home, she follows it. At the end of the trail, Dory finds an empty brain coral with multiple shell trails leading to it. As she turns to leave, she sees Jenny and Charlie, her parents in the distance. They tell her they spent years laying down the trail for her to follow in the hopes that she would eventually find them. Dodger rallies Oliver and the other dogs to rescue Jenny from Sykes. Evelyn then tricks Mr. Incredible into 'rescuing' Helen before the hypnotized heroine forces another pair of hypno-goggles onto Mr. Incredible, putting him under Evelyn's control as well. Marlin, Nemo, and Hank end up in the institute truck taking aquatic creatures to Cleveland. Later, Frozone also ends up captured and put under Evelyn's control, although Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack, whom Edna had fitted with a super-suit, evade capture themselves with the help of the Incredimobile. Destiny and Bailey escape from their exhibit to help Dory and her parents rescue them. The Parr children sneak aboard Winston's yacht where the hypnotized Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone recite a vindictive manifesto on air to paint superheroes as a threat. As Homer arrives, a helicopter lowers a small but powerful bomb down a rope through a hole in the dome. While Homer climbs to the top of the dome, the townspeople attempt to climb the rope to escape through the still-opened hole, but Homer slides down the rope and knocks them off along with the bomb. Jack-Jack removes the hypno-goggles on Helen, who then frees Mr. Incredible and Frozone and reveals Evelyn's plan to the assembled leaders. The animals are confronted by Sykes and his Dobermans after they free her.
After reconciling with Bart, Homer dries a motorcycle along the dome, inspired by the earlier carnival attraction. Once on board the truck, Dory persuades Hank to return to the sea with her. Fagin saves the group with his scooter and a chase ensues throughout the streets and into the subway tunnels. A battle on the boat ensues, threatening to crash the ship into New Urbrem.

Winston frees the other guests on the yacht from Evelyn's hypnosis by destroying the giant screen projecting hypnotic images. As a passenger in the jet, Helen stopped and captured Evelyn. Frollo falls to his death in the molten lead. Sykes is killed when his car drives straight into the path of an oncoming train. As a passenger of the motorcycle, Bart throws the bomb through the hole; seconds later it detonates, shattering the dome and freeing the town. Then they manage to slow the Everjust down just before it can crash into the city. Then Dory and Hank crashed the truck into the sea, freeing all the fish. Quasimodo is caught by Phoebus on a lower floor. Cargill arrives personally and prepares to kill Homer with a shotgun, but Maggie (Nancy Cartwright, 59–61) knocks him out with a boulder. Afterward, Quasimodo comes to accept that Phoebus and Esmeralda are in love, and he gives them his blessing. Following the incident, Evelyn is arrested and Winston apologizes to Helen for being ignorant of Evelyn's plan. Sora share one last reunion with Kairi. He knows that he cannot return home yet as he still needs to find Riku and Mickey, but he'll always be with Kairi, and he promises that he will return home to give her back the lucky charm. "I know you will", cries Kairi, before she and Sora are separated: Kairi is sent back alone to Destiny Islands. The End of the World breaks apart and worlds begin to reform themselves.
The Utopian self of the future is resorted. After persuasion from Lewis, Wilbur tries to ask the adult Goob to join the family, but he disappeared, apparently, ashamed at what he has done. Ralph returns to the arcade and as Sugar Rush is repaired, he participates in activates with the other arcade members, while regularly video chattering Vanellope. He watches the sunrise from Game Central Station, coming to peace with the changes in his life as he heads to work with Felix. The show continues with a replacement "Bolt" and "Penny" and a new storyline involving alien abduction. The Herd then departs back home, including Sid, who parts ways from Brooke, but just after they leave, an asteroid piece falls inside a hot spring, giving it rejuvenating properties and making the Geotopians and Sid's grandmother (Wanda Sykes, 52–54), who stayed behind with them, regain their youth. Back on the ground, the Grand Councilwoman arrives on Earth and prepares to take Stitch into custody and retire Gantu for kidnapping Lilo, but the girl insists that because Stitch is her pet under local law, he cannot be taken away. Impressed with Stitch's newfound civility and empathy, the Councilwoman goes against the prior decision of the Federation and decrees that Stitch will live in exile on Earth.

February–March 2019
Arlo finally arrives home to his mother and siblings, and makes his mark on the silo between those of his mother and father. Ego is stunned and writes a glowing review, saying how he now understands Gusteau's famous motto, and calling Remy "nothing less than the finest chef in France." Dusty wakes up later to find that park ranger Jammer (Barry Corbin, 77–78) is now in charge of the park, to much delight. Maru tells him that not only has his structure been fully repaired but he has built a superior, custom-refurbished gearbox for his engine that allows Dusty full performance once again. Impressed at Dusty's skill and heroism, Blade certifies him as a firefighter. Sterling offers her a role on his team, but Cruz instead takes a counteroffer made by Tex Dinoco (Humpy Wheeler, 77–80). Sterling reminds McQueen about his bet, but then McQueen's name is shared with Cruz's on the leaderboard as victors, since both he and Cruz raced with the winning number, thus winning the deal. Tex then goes to speak with Sterling. Afterwards, the aliens return everything to normal (except Foxy Loxy (Amy Sedaris, 45–48), whose brain got scrambled, turning her into a Southern belle, and as a result, Runt falls for her), and everyone is grateful for Chicken Little's efforts to save the town. Back in Wilbur's time, Lewis finally meets Cornelius (Tom Selleck, 64) face to face. Cornelius explains how the memory scanner had started their successful career, which persuades Lewis to return to the science fair. Wilbur takes Lewis back.

March–April 2019
Three years after her coronation in Arendelle, Elsa celebrates autumn in the kingdom with Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven. While the toys are grateful to have a new child, Woody struggles with accepting that Bonnie does not love him like Andy did, evidenced by Bonnie taking Woody's sheriff badge and putting it on Jessie instead. In the closet, he encounters other old toys who share their experiences from what it was like being played with Bonnie. On the day of Bonnie's kindergarten orientation, Woody sees her upset, and, wanting to make sure she is happy, sneaks into her backpack. After a classmate takes away Bonnie's arts and crafts supplies, Woody covertly recovers materials from the trash, including a spork, which Bonnie turns into a handmade toy she names Forky (Tony Hale, 48). Woody witnesses as Forky comes to life in Bonnie's backpack and begins to experience an existential crisis, considering himself to be trash rather than a toy. As Forky becomes Bonnie's favorite toy, Woody takes it upon himself to prevent Forky from throwing himself away. When Elsa hears a mysterious voice (Aurora, 20–22) calling out to her, she follows it and unintentionally awakens the elemental spirits, which forces everyone in the kingdom to evacuate. Pabbie and the Trolls colony, aware of the situation, arrive to Arendelle and Pabbie informs them that they must set things right by discovering the truth about the kingdom's past.
When Bonnie's family goes on a road trip, Forky jumps out of the RV window and Woody pursues him. After Woody explains to him how important he is to Bonnie, Forky decides to accompany Woody and return to her. Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven embark to the Enchanted Forest, following the mysterious voice. Near the RV park where Bonnie's family is staying, Woody spots Bo Peep's lamp in an antique store window and goes inside, hoping to find her. Inside, he and Forky encounter a talking doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks, 43), who desires Woody's voice box to replace her broken one. While Woody is able to escape, Gabby and her ventriloquist puppet henchmen, the Bensons (Steve Purcell, 57) captures Forky and uses him as bait to lure Woody back to the store. Meanwhile, Buzz searches for Woody but is found and made a carnival game prize at a fairground. Gale, the Air Spirit, in the form of a tornado, appears and sweeps everyone in its vortex. Elsa stops it by firing streams of snow, forming a set of ice sculptures. They discover the sculptures are images from their father's past and that their mother, Iduna (Delaney Rose Stein, 14), was a Northuldra who saved Agnarr. At a playground, Woody is rescued from children by Bo Peep, Billy, Goat and Gruff, and pocket toy cop Giggle McDimples (Ally Maki, 32), who now live as "lost" toys that help others return to their owners or find new ones. They encounter the Northuldra led by Yelena (Martha Plimpton, 48) and a troop of Arendellian soldiers led by Lieutenant Destin Mattias (Sterling K. Brown, 43), who are still at conflict with one another. Despite her warnings about Gabby, Bo eventually agrees to help Woody save Forky and get back to Bonnie. Buzz escapes the carnival game prize with plush toys Ducky (Keegan-Michael Key, 48) and Bunny (Jordan Peele, 40) and Buzz meet up with Woody and Bo. The Fire Spirit appears, Elsa discovers it to be an agitated magical salamander named Bruni and calms it down. Elsa and Anna form a truce between the soldiers and the Northuldra by explaining that their mother was Northuldran and their father was Arendellian. Elsa later learns the existence of a fifth spirit who will unite people and the magic of nature.
Elsa continues to head north with Anna and Olaf, leaving Kristoff and Sven behind. They find their parents' shipwreck and a map with a route to Ahtohallan. With Canadian stuntman toy Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves, 54), they unsuccessfully try to rescue Forky from Gabby, the Bensons, and the antique store cat named Dragon. In the aftermath of the failed rescue, the toys argue over whether to go back, and Woody declares that rescuing Forky is all he has left, and indirectly insults Bo by stating that loyalty is something a lost toy wouldn't understand. Feeling guilty that her parents were lost at sea in search of answers to her magical powers, Elsa decides to travel alone and sends Anna and Olaf away to safety.

May 2019
Alone, Woody encounters Gabby again, who envies Woody's trove of treasured memories and expresses a wish to have just one. Woody understands her emotions, and willingly trades his voice box for Forky. Elsa encounters and tames Nøkk, the Water Spirit, in the form of a horse, who guards the Dark Sea, to go to Ahtohallan. There, Elsa discovers Ahtohallan is a glacier (frozen river); and that the voice was the call of Iduna, and that her power was a gift from the magic of nature because of Iduna's selfless act of saving Agnarr, making her the fifth spirit who unites differences. Elsa wields her mother's mantle.
Tinker Bell crash lands in the Winter Woods, and the book falls out of her bag. The book is found by Milori (Timothy Dalton, 67), the Lord of Winter, who has it delivered to the Keeper. Tink secretly follows to the library and spots the Keeper, Dewey (Jeff Bennett, 51). Another winter fairy rushes into the room, and Tink notices her wings sparkling like her own. Tink and the other fairy, Periwinkle (Lucy Hale, 24), notice each other and it is revealed that they were born from the same laugh, making them sisters. Princess Elsa (Eva Bella, 11) of Arendelle possesses magical powers, rewarded from the spirits because of her mother's selfless act of saving her father, that allow her to control and create ice and snow, often using them to play with her younger sister, Anna (Livvy Stubenrauch, 8).
The two spend the day together, with Peri showing Tinker Bell around the Winter Woods and introducing her to her friends, bubbly Gliss (Grey DeLisle, 40) and sarcastic Spike (Debby Ryan, 20). At Peri's home, Tink builds a fire which eventually causes the floor to melt and crumble beneath them. Having her wings tucked inside her coat, Tink is unable to fly and nearly falls but is saved by Dewey. He advises that it is too dangerous for them to be together and the sisters pretend to say goodbye at the border but promise to meet again.Lewis nearly stops her mother from leaving his infant self at the orphanage. Elsa also learns that the dam was built as a trick to bring down the Northuldra's resources because of Runeard's dislike of the tribe's connection with magic and his intention to incorporate the region into his kingdom. She also learns that Runeard was the one who initiated the conflict by killing the Northudra chief leader (Alan Tudyk, 48). Elsa sends this information to Anna through a snow sculpture that shows Runeard attacking the leader of the Northuldra tribe, who wields no weapon, before becoming frozen, due to having ventured into the most dangerous part of Ahtohallan. The toys part ways, but Woody remains long enough to see Gabby rejected by her ideal owner, Harmony (Lila Sage Bromley), who clearly shows no interest in her. Anna receives Elsa's message, but when Olaf flurries away, she realizes must be gone too and falls into despair. Woody comforts a heartbroken Gabby and invites her to become one of Bonnie's toys.
The events took place off-screen during Incredibles 2, in this case, showing us the night Edna spent watching and studying Jack-Jack using his powers while Bob caught up on some much needed rest. Taking Jack-Jack to Edna, she studies different superpowers he has. When Edna becomes crowded by multiple Jack-Jack clones, Jack-Jack uses his monster form, combining it with his fire form. Later, Edna examines Jack-Jack for his powers he used and giving him a red suit (the same one she gave to the Parr family) after studying as she returns him to his father Bob. Edna then explains to Bob that whenever she babysits Jack-Jack (unlike other babies), she does not charge him as Bob and Jack-Jack leave for home. Later, Edna notices Jack-Jack (presumably a clone of himself) next to her, as Edna runs off telling Bob that he forgot his baby.Then the protagonists all find out what happened to the Disney Fairies' region life (from archive footage).
The next day, Tinker Bell arrives at the border with an ice-powered snow maker. With the machine keeping her cool, Peri crosses over and Tink introduces her to her friends and shows her the warm side of Pixie Hollow. Elsa accidentally injures Anna with her magic. After a while, the machine starts running out of ice and Peri's wings begin to wilt. Tink and her friends rush her to the border where they meet Milori. Agnarr and Iduna take both siblings to a colony of trolls led by Pabbie. He heals Anna, but alters her memories so that she forgets about Elsa's magic. Pabbie warns Elsa that she must learn to control her powers, and that fear will be her greatest enemy. Milori takes Peri back to the woods. Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston, 62) arrives and explains that she was the one who instated the law. Tinker Bell and Periwinkle tearfully say goodbye to each other forever. Agnarr and Iduna isolate Anna and Elsa within the castle, closing the castle gates to their subjects. Milori knocks the snow-maker into the stream under the bridge.
Tinker Bell and Periwinkle are told, by Clarion and Milori respectively, the story of two fairies who fell in love, one from the warm seasons, the other from the Winter Woods. As their romance grew, one of them crossed the border, resulting in them breaking a wing; a damage that there was no known cure for. After this, Clarion declared the separation of the warm fairies from the winter fairies in order to prevent any incidents like the one from the story happening again.The heartbroken Anna forces herself to carry on due to Elsa and Olaf's deaths, and believing Kristoff and Sven has abandoned her. Bo returns with the others to help and reconciles with Woody. She concludes that the dam must be destroyed for peace to be restored. They head for the carnival through Duke's motorcycle skills, while Forky fetches Buzz and Bonnie's toys; they interfere with the RV's controls, forcing Bonnie's parents to drive back to the carnival. Anna finds and awakens the sleeping gigantic Earth Spirits and lures them towards the dam. In aid of Kristoff and Mattias, the giants hurl boulders aimed at Anna which destroy the dam, sending a flood down the fjord to the kingdom. Elsa thaws out and returns to Arendelle, diverting the flood and saving the kingdom. When Gabby sees a girl (Maliah Bargas-Good) lost in the carnival, she decides instead to become that child's toy, emboldening the child to approach a security guard and be reunited with her parents.
As the wall of mist disappears, Elsa reunites with Anna and revives Olaf. Kristoff proposes to Anna, who accepts. At the carousel, Woody and Bo share a bittersweet goodbye, but Woody is hesitant to leave Bo again. After Buzz tells Woody that Bonnie will be fine without him, Woody decides to stay with Bo instead of returning to Bonnie. Woody passes his sheriff badge over to Jessie and bids a heartfelt farewell to his friends. Elsa explains that she and Anna are now the bridge between the people and the magical spirits. As the RV departs with Bonnie's toys, Woody and Buzz exchange the last words of dialogue from afar. Buzz says "to infinity...", and unbeknownst to him, Woody completes the sentence with "...and beyond", signaling that no matter how far apart the friends are, their friendship will live forever.
