00:00The Smiling Critters, one of Playtime Co.'s biggest successes, and rightfully so.
00:06They were precious, beloved by children and adults alike.
00:10Or at least, most of them were.
00:13Hmm, looks like we had a little misprint here.
00:15No worries, you're going to be with your little messed up friends.
00:20In you go!
00:22The rest were doomed to be thrown into the flames.
00:25Thankfully, these ones weren't alive, but I know somewhere deep down inside, they could
00:30feel the misery of not being perfect.
00:33Of being a reject.
00:34I know exactly how they feel.
00:39The Smiling Critters ruled the world of children's toys.
00:42They flew off the shelves, especially Dog Day, their leader, and Bubba Bubba Fan as
00:46well.
00:47With one big exception, Catnap, Playtime Co.'s newest creation.
00:53There were reports that he was giving kids across the country nightmares.
00:57I know the perfect game for us.
01:03There really was no coming back from a PR disaster like a toy that prevents kids from
01:07getting good sleep.
01:08With Catnap being a total financial failure, The Smiling Critters' brand was almost put
01:13on ice.
01:15Deciding they had invested too much in the project to give up on it completely, the leaders
01:19of Playtime Co. decided to come up with a brand new Smiling Critter.
01:23One that went in a new direction.
01:28You've seen other cheery Smiling Critters like Dog Day and Bubba Bubba Fan, but you've
01:32never seen anyone quite like...
01:35Frowny Fox, the brand new Smiling Critter.
01:38Or should I say, unsmiling Critter?
01:41The newest Smiling Critter was me.
01:44While the others giggle and play, Frowny Fox rests alone, contemplating life's big questions.
01:50Unlike the others, he's sensitive, a great listener, and more than anything, longs to
01:55be understood.
01:56What do you think he's putting in that well?
01:59Secrets, Bubba Bubba Fent, secrets.
02:03Frowny Fox, because you can't have rainbows without a little rain.
02:07Disclaimer, magical well and cracked mirror not included.
02:11They were sure that I would be a valuable new member of the Smiling Critters' lineup,
02:14a bold innovation that would allow them to tap into a whole array of human emotions.
02:19So, what do you think of Frowny Fox, my boy?
02:21Pretty cool, huh?
02:22He...
02:23He's...
02:24He's even worse than Catnap!
02:26He doesn't have any color!
02:28And he stinks!
02:31He smells like wet dog!
02:34Well, technically it's wet fox.
02:36To say my feelings were hurt was an understatement.
02:39Stop that!
02:40He's not yours!
02:49I'm telling your mother!
02:51You've failed us, Frowny Fox.
02:53We couldn't be hip with the kids, after all.
02:56I should have known you were a mistake.
02:58Frowny Fox, what an idiotic idea!
03:01Like I said, they loved all Smiling Critters, except for the ones they deemed as failures.
03:08And now, I was one of them.
03:11I don't know how long I sat in the trash, but eventually, a miracle occurred.
03:16Someone saved me!
03:18Is this a Smiling Critter?
03:19I don't recognize this one.
03:21I don't blame them for getting rid of this guy.
03:23Maybe I can use him for parts.
03:29My child, what have they done to you?
03:32Don't worry, I can fix you.
03:35Catnap!
03:36He gave me...
03:37Life!
03:39What?
03:40I'm alive?
03:41Oh, thank you so much!
03:43I'll take you home.
03:45And that leads us to where we are now.
03:49Dog Day, Baba, meet our new friend.
03:52Um, what's your name?
03:54It's Frowny Fox.
03:57Frowny Fox? Really?
03:59You all get to know each other.
04:02Can I play with you?
04:03Nah, we're good.
04:05Please?
04:06Dog Day, give him a chance!
04:09Great! That was our last ball!
04:12Yeah, thanks for nothing, new guy.
04:15It's okay, maybe we can still use it.
04:20Ew, severed arm! Get it away from me!
04:23I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
04:26What a freak! And he smells too!
04:31The CEO was right. I belong in the trash.
04:34Maybe I can use him for parts.
04:37Don't say things like that!
04:39Huh? Who are you?
04:41I'm Hoppy! Hoppy Hopscotch!
04:44Are you gonna be mean to me like the others?
04:46Of course not!
04:51There! Good as new!
04:53I've never seen your face around here before!
04:55I'm Frowny Fox. I'm a reject.
04:59We're all rejects in one way or another, right?
05:02No! I'm not a reject!
05:04No! I was literally rejected by the kids, by the CEO, and now those too!
05:10I'm not good enough for anyone.
05:12Well, I won't reject you. I personally think you seem like a good guy!
05:16You think I'm good?
05:18Of course I do! You don't need those other people! I'll be your friend!
05:22Really?
05:23Yeah!
05:25Wow! This is amazing! I've never had food before!
05:29That's crazy! Being alive for the first time!
05:33I hardly remember! It feels so long ago!
05:37Hoppy! What are you doing hanging out with that freak?
05:40Snack time, huh? I've got a snack for you!
05:45Hoppy, help!
05:46Get out of here, loser!
05:50Really? You too?
05:52Frowny Fox, no! It was an accident! I didn't mean to hit you!
05:56I knew you'd be just like them! I'm leaving! Forever!
06:00Frowny Fox, wait!
06:02The lab I was made in! It must be this way!
06:06I can't fit in here! But maybe I can fit part of me!
06:14Now all I have to do is find the right ingredients!
06:17This'll show them all!
06:21Here goes everything!
06:26They have no idea what's gonna hit them!
06:31Well, well, well! If it isn't the Freak Show!
06:34I'm surprised you came back after all!
06:36You're gonna regret what you did, Bubba!
06:40What are you gonna do? Smack me to death with your broken arm?
06:43Good luck with that!
06:45What the-
06:50Don't worry! I won't kill you!
06:52At least, I don't think so!
06:56You again! I figured you went back to the furnace with the other freaks!
07:01That's where you belong!
07:04Let me go! Let me go!
07:07And why should I? Get ready to take a long nap, Dog Day!
07:12Wait!
07:14Hoppy, what do you want?
07:16I want you to let Dog Day go!
07:18Why should I?
07:19Because this isn't the real you! Don't you remember?
07:23We had so much fun together! We were friends!
07:26You're not mean! They made you this way!
07:29You're a good critter! But just because they hurt you, doesn't mean you should hurt them!
07:33You're right! Dog Day, you're a jerk, but I'm not gonna hurt you!
07:38Whatever! I'm outta here!
07:41You did the right thing!
07:42What have you done?
07:45I rescue you and this is how you repay us?
07:48Tednap, no! He's changed!
07:51I know he's changed! Into a monster!
07:54I saw what you did to Bubba! You nearly killed him!
07:57I promise not to hurt anyone else, Catnap! Please!
08:00Why should I believe you?
08:06That ought to show you! I gave you a chance at life and you abused it!
08:11I better not see you here again!
08:16Rooney Fox! I...
08:18Leave him be. He doesn't deserve your help.
08:21Hoppy, why are you helping me? After everything I've done?
08:25Just because you made a bad choice, doesn't mean you're all bad, Rooney Fox!
08:30You'll never be a reject to me!
