00:07Hey there, friends. It's a sunny day. I feel warm. Don't you feel warm?
00:15Miss Gracie. You're Miss Gracie. You have a first name. What is it?
00:22I feel safe. You feel safe too, don't you?
00:27Just ignore her. She's not real. It's only you here. Just you.
00:35Aren't I real, Miss Gracie? Miss Gracie says I'm real.
00:39I am Miss Gracie. Snap out of it.
00:43You're Miss Gracie. I'm Miss Gracie. We, I, worked at Playtime Co.
00:53My first day. I can't wait to put a smile on all those little faces.
00:59Now to find the classrooms.
01:00The factory was full of all sorts of unique and brilliant minds.
01:10But there was, of course, one that stood out among the rest.
01:14Elliot Ludwig.
01:15The true CEO of Playtime Co.
01:18And an inspiration to those that seek to touch the hearts and brains of kids everywhere.
01:24And with him was...
01:27Hmm? Can we help you?
01:30Miss? Are you okay?
01:32Huh?
01:33Oh, oh my. I, uh...
01:36Sorry for bothering you.
01:38You...
01:38We...
01:40I...
01:41I...
01:41Didn't know it back then.
01:43But that was the moment I came face to face with pure evil.
01:47My first shift was starting in one of the classrooms.
01:51But I was running behind.
01:52Oh, sorry I'm late, friends.
01:55How are we all doing today?
01:58What do we have to do today?
02:01Have to do?
02:03Here at Playtime Co., it's all about what we get to do.
02:07And today, we get to dance.
02:10Whoa!
02:12Working with the kids was so much fun.
02:16Unfortunately, as my bosses explained,
02:19There were simply too many kids for me to teach them all in person.
02:24Which is why they have me record videos.
02:27Hey there, all you lovely lilies.
02:30It's a sunny day.
02:32I feel warm.
02:34Don't you feel warm?
02:36I feel safe.
02:38You feel safe.
02:39Don't you?
02:41Um, can we pause?
02:44Are you sure this is the best method of reaching hearts and minds?
02:48Don't all the students deserve the hands-on treatment?
02:53You have no idea how right you are, Miss Gracie.
02:56But let's just stick to the script.
02:59Okay?
03:00Rolling!
03:01I try my best to put on a brave face.
03:04But I decided to get plenty of one-on-one time with the students.
03:08No matter what.
03:10So the very next morning,
03:11I want to greet some of the kids early at the dorms.
03:14I must have taken a wrong turn, though,
03:16As I ended up somewhere really...
03:20Strange.
03:25What the heck is that?
03:28Remarkable, isn't it?
03:29What is that thing?
03:31The start of something amazing.
03:35I never signed up for this.
03:37No one ever does.
03:39Chum!
03:43A monster?
03:45Now that's not very nice.
03:47You're going to hurt our friend's feelings.
03:51Let me go!
03:57There you go!
03:58See?
03:59That's not so bad.
04:01Let me out.
04:06Close your eyes.
04:07And breathe deep.
04:10Something inside of me changed that day.
04:13I was no longer concerned with what I saw.
04:16In fact,
04:17I was ecstatic about it.
04:19The higher-ups assured me that I was doing what was best for everyone.
04:24Everlasting life?
04:25Who would ever want to turn down that?
04:28Unfortunately,
04:30not everyone wanted to behave.
04:32And whenever one of my students would act out of line,
04:35I had to call in my old friend,
04:37George Hopkins,
04:38to make them see things my way.
04:40After all,
04:41who wouldn't want to be a toy?
04:43I continued to make the videos.
04:45But this time,
04:47with a big old smile on my face,
04:49I knew that what I was doing was for the greater good.
04:53I just knew it.
04:55Everything was perfect.
04:58Until...
05:01The hour of joy.
05:06Those little freaks are right behind me.
05:09Come on, come on.
05:12Miss Gracie.
05:15Open the door.
05:16We won't hurt you.
05:18Come on, Miss Gracie.
05:20We just want to play.
05:27Get back.
05:29Get back.
05:30I was just trying to make you all happy.
05:34Don't worry, Miss Gracie.
05:37We have something very special planned for you.
05:49Please, don't do this.
05:52It'll all be over soon.
05:55Just breathe deep.
06:03I couldn't think as that poppy gel twisted me and transformed me
06:07into some sort of freaky doll.
06:10I thought I would be stuck in that gel forever.
06:13Until he came.
06:22We meet again.
06:25Huh?
06:27That...
06:27Ui?
06:29In a manner of speaking...
06:31What...
06:32What happened to you?
06:35What happened to me?
06:37You've become something.
06:39Amazing.
06:40No.
06:41This isn't right.
06:43Change me back.
06:45Please.
06:46Looks like you can use a time out.
06:49No.
06:53What the...
06:54No.
06:56Let me out of here.
06:57Enjoy your stay.
07:01Repeat after me.
07:03I'm staying here forever.
07:06I'm staying here forever.
07:09I'm staying here forever.
07:16I...
07:17am a toy.
07:18I...
07:19am a toy.
07:20I've always been a toy.
07:24I've...
07:25always been a toy.
07:31My hands.
07:33Plastic.
07:34My face.
07:36No.
07:37I want to go home.
07:40No.
07:40We're going to have a tea party.
07:43I love tea parties.
07:45And I love crumpets.
07:48Crumpets are the best.
07:50Please.
07:50Let me out.
07:52No.
07:53No.
07:53No.
07:54We can brush our hair and hang out with our friends.
08:02You...
08:03You...
08:03I'm a toy.
08:05You...
08:05Always...
08:06been a toy.
08:09Isn't that the most beautiful thing in the world?
08:13My, my.
08:15Aren't you a greedy Gus?
08:17There's more Poppy Playtime goodness right here.
08:20So let's watch it together.
08:23Forever.
