Christmas..
...the time of year
when the chill in the air
brings out the warmth
in your heart.
But what happens to
the Christmas spirit
when it's a 104-degrees outside?
[doorbell dings]
Bugs, Christmas is almost here.
Aren't you excited?
Uh, not really. It's December
and it's a 100 degrees out here.
caw caw
- What are you saying?
- It's too hot for Christmas.
Too hot for Christmas? Oh,
how can you say such a
thing?
I feel woozy.
Oh! Like I'm gonna faint.
That's because
you're wearing a parka.
Huh? Oh.
Oh, yeah. That's much better.
What were we
talking about again?
Not doing Christmas this year.
Ohh!
thud
[theme music]
(man on TV)
'And with no rewief in sight
for this heat wave'
it certainly doesn't
feel wike Christmas.
'A year ago today,
this was Main street'
'and this is how it wooks now.'
whoosh
I thought selling Christmas
trees would be the perfect job.
You make your money
and you only gotta work
a couple of weeks a year.
But it's so darned hot,
no one's buyin' 'em
and now they're all dried up.
sputter
Aah! Fire!
Fire! Aah!
Wooks wike this Christmas
is gonna be anything but merry.
What is wrong with everyone?
A little heat, we all
just give up on Christmas?
Hey, well, not me.
I'm gonna do something about it.
I'm-I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna..
I'm gonna..
...put on a show.
A show that captures
the true meaning of Christmas.
Like "A Christmas Carol?"
Oh. I was thinking "Cats."
- What's "A Christmas Carol?"
- "A Christmas Carol."
Charles Dickens.
Scrooge?
Tiny Tim?
Bah, humbug?
Here. It's the world's
most famous Christmas story.
Oh! Thanks, Bun Bun.
Mwah. I'm off to save Christmas.
I mean, Charles Dickens
and I are off to save Christmas.
Man, it's hot out here.
Ohh!
thud
[instrumental music]
- What are you doing?
- Making room.
For what? I don't want to
cook a turkey this year.
It's too hot.
I'm making room for a duck
not a turkey.
What are you? Insane?
You'll suffocate.
Well, it's better
than being hot.
Plus, I've heard suffocating's
the most pleasant way to go.
Humph.
[instrumental music]
Wait, or is it that
the suffocating's
the worst way to go?
I should probably do
a little research.
Hey, look, it's your buddy.
(man on TV)
'In a rewated story'
eccentric billionaire
Foghorn Weghorn
held a pwess conference today
and made
a stunning announcement.
I've been, I say, I've been
hearin' a lot of whinin'
about how it's too hot to
celebrate Christmas this year!
But I'm here to announce
that I'm gonna do somethin'..
I say, I'm gonna do
something about it!
Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the fan plan.
- What is that?
- It's a giant fan, boy.
And I'm gonna set it up
at the North Pole
and blow some of that
cold air down here.
If I were you, I'd get your
sweaters out of the cedar closet
'cause I'm predictin',
I say, I'm predictin'
a white Christmas!
That is one crazy rooster.
I'm surprised you didn't get
roped into going with him.
Oh, I'm going.
[horn honking]
Well, I'm off to the North Pole.
Should I bring a jacket?
Nah, it's
a 1000-degrees outside.
Bugs, your girlfriend fainted.
[instrumental music]
(Lola)
'Thank you all for coming.'
Of course, we're all here
for the same reason.
We care about the community.
We love Christmas.
And we love the theater.
And one of you is here because
I needed you to drive me
because my nail polish
wasn't dry yet.
So, thanks, Bugs.
Actually, I'm here
'cause I understand
this is an equity production.
As in, guaranteed money?
And I also love the theater.
Okay, "A Christmas Carol."
Now, just a little heads up
before you read the script.
I have made a few
teeny, tiny changes.
- What are you talking about?
- I rewrote it.
- You rewrote a beloved classic?
- Eh, come on.
Who could belove a story
about a mean old guy
named "Scrooge,"
who hates Christmas?
I'm sorry, but that's
not gonna get anybody
in the holiday spirit.
Bugs, you're gonna play Santa.
Uh, Santa's not in
"A Christmas Carol."
Well, he's in this version.
Mac and Tosh,
you'll play Santa's elves
'Weevil and Beevil.'
'You can decide amongst
yourselves who's who.'
- I'll be Weevil.
- I'll be Weevil.
- Oh! Then, I'll be Beevil.
- Oh! Then, I'll be Beevil.
Do you want me to be Beevil?
Only if you don't want
to be Weevil.
'I could easily see
myself as Beevil.'
(Tosh)
'But I also think you would
make a fantastic Weevil.'
Oh, no one cares!
We can't tell you apart, anyway!
Here. You're Weevil.
You're Beevil!
Now, who am I?
You are nightclub
impresario Rick Evans.
'And, Speedy,
you're Manu Ginobili.'
The basketball player?
Now, Porky, you're gonna
play
a very important part.
You will be playing
the role... of Hambone.
Ooh!
What about my-my-my script?
Oh, Hambone doesn't talk.
He's a pet pig. He oinks.
Well, I guess that's everyone.
[gasps]
Oh, no!
There's no one
left to play Carol.
Who's Carol?
Carol? A Christmas Carol?
The girl from
the title of the play.
Ugh. Poor Charles Dickens.
Well, why don't you play Carol?
Me? Oh, no.
I'm just the writer.
I'm not an actor.
Besides, Carol has
a British accent
that's essential to the role.
And I couldn't possibly capture
the many layers of Carol's
intricate personality.
The highs and the lows
of her journey.
'Her desperation, her fear,
her strength, her courage.'
She's a temptress. Ooh, but
she's shy, almost coquettish.
How could I capture
her volatility?
Oh-hoo-hoo.
And she's so funny.
♪ And what about the song? ♪
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Mm-hmm.
You have to be Weevil.
Spoken like a true Beevil.
[both laughing]
If you think rewriting
"A Christmas Carol"
is a bad idea,
heh, well, I believe
I can show you a worse one.
(Foghorn)
'We're almost over
the North Pole.'
- 'It's time to jump!'
- What?
We can't land a big ol' plane
like this on that ice.
Are you out of your mind?
Whoa!
(Foghorn)
'There, I say,
there goes the fan.'
Come on, boy!
Aah!
- Aah!
- Aah!
I say, "Aah!"
[instrumental music]
(Yosemite)
'Oh, I don't know about you'
but I read the script.
It ain't worth
the air conditioner.
Okay, everyone.
We're starting rehearsal.
[whistles]
We have got a town
full of people out there
who have lost
the Christmas spirit
and I believe the only chance
we have of getting it back
is to put on
a flawless production
of an almost
unrecognizable version
of "A Christmas Carol."
Places, everyone!
[instrumental music]
Ahem-hmm.
Oh, Hambone, it looks like it's
just you and me this Christmas.
Oink.
Is that how you're gonna do it?
Oink, oink?
Yeah, you're gonna
need to work on that.
Meanwhile, at the North Pole
or about 70 miles
South of there.
- Uh, I quit.
- What?
My sense of adventure
has been surpassed
by my sense of tiredness
and overall out-of-shapedness!
Ugh. Uh.
You can't quit now.
- You'll freeze to death.
- Then, it's my time.
According to my research, it's
the most pleasant way to go.
You're just like
the rest of 'em.
When the going gets tough,
you just give up.
Boo hoo! It's too hot
to celebrate Christmas.
Boo hoo! It's too cold
at the North Pole.
Boo hoo, I'm too tired
to help a rooster
pull a 6000-pound crate
70 miles and build a giant fan.
Well, then, go ahead
and freeze, boy.
I'm not givin' up on Christmas.
Unh! Ugh.
But sometimes,
even the coldest heart
can be warmed by
the Christmas spirit.
Unh!
I say, unh!
Huh?
Aha!
knock knock
- Are you Carol?
- Yes. Who are you?
- We're Santa's elves.
- We're Santa's elves.
Santa Claus is missing.
You must come with us
to the North Pole
and take his place.
But why me?
Because you are his daughter.
[gasps]
Santa Claus is my father?
That answers so many questions
yet, raises so many
additional questions.
I know what I must do.
It is crystal clear to me.
I have to..
Line?
I have to go with you
to the North Pole.
I have to go with you to the..
- Line?
- To the North Pole.
Oh, yeah. I have to go
with you to the North..
- Pole.
- I didn't say "line."
Eh, I know my line.
Heh, sheesh.
'Line?'
[instrumental music]
beep beep
Huh! We're there!
I say, we're there!
We're at the North Pole.
Whoo-hoo! We made it!
- Ahh!
- Whoo-hoo!
I always knew we'd make it.
Except for that one time
I laid down in the snow to die.
But all the rest of the
time,
I knew we'd make it.
Well, not that one time
when I tried to k*ll you
so that I could climb inside
your carcass for warmth
'but then realized
how hard it would be'
'to clean out your carcass'
so, instead, I just laid down
for a second time
in the snow to die.
But every other time,
I always knew we would make it.
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah!
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah!
Whoo-hoo! I say, Whoo!
Unh! That ought to do it.
(male narrator)
But even the best laid plans
of ducks and roosters
often go awry.
Mm-hmm. I say, Mm-hmm.
- What?
- Where are we gonna plug it in?
Plug it in?
We have to plug it in?
We're in the middle of nowhere!
You didn't think about
this before we left?
Why do I keep getting
involved with you?
It's that limo. I keep
getting tricked by that limo.
W-W-S-D. W-W-S-D.
What are you muttering?
W-W-S-D. What Would Santa Do?
It's something I ask myself
when I need guidance.
Huh! That's it!
- What?
- We'll plug it in.
I say, we'll plug it in
in Santa's workshop.
It's gotta be around
here somewhere.
So, you want us to just
wander around the North Pole
hoping to bump into Santa Claus?
What's the worst
that could happen?
[whimpering]
Now, it's Christmas Eve.
Carol and the g*ng have gathered
to confront Rick Evans.
♪ Places everyone ♪
Welcome to the bungalow room.
ID, please.
Where is Santa Claus?
How should I know?
I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Well, if Rick Evans didn't
kidnap Santa, then..
- Line.
- Then where is he?
Wow, do you have the whole,
entire play memorized?
Unfortunately.
Well, if Rick Evans
didn't kidnap Santa
then where is he?
Ho ho ho.
- 'Santa!'
- 'Santa!'
Where have you been?
We were so worried about you.
I must have lost track of time.
I guess I know what I should
give myself for Christmas.
A watch.
Oh, ha ha ha! Santa.
[gasps]
I mean... dad.
The end!
Oh, you guys, I'm so excited.
This is gonna be
the best version
of "A Christmas Carol" ever.
Is it just me,
or is this play bad?
Like, really, really bad?
swoosh
We have to take cover, boy!
I think I see it!
Santa's workshop!
No, you've got hypothermia!
You're hallucinatin',
I say, you're hallucinatin'.
I'm coming, Santa!
[gasps]
[instrumental music]
[gasps]
(Santa)
Looking for some place
to plug that in?
[instrumental music]
Santa?
beep beep
You look cold. Why don't you
take a seat by the fire?
slurp
You're so snuggly, Santa.
beep beep
So, you're saying you installed
the giant fan at the North Pole
and that any minute, it's gonna
start blowing in winter weather?
I'm not the kind of rooster
to say I told you so
but I told you so.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.
- How'd you do it?
- We had a little help.
You probably know him
as Father Christmas
Saint Nick, the captain..
But I call him Santa Claus.
And I've got him on tape.
beep beep
Santa?
[groans]
You're so snuggly, Santa.
[groaning]
I sat on the lap
of a polar bear?
I told you
you was hallucinatin'.
Then I guess I didn't
plug the fan in, either.
I'll make the next one
battery-operated.
Next one?
[instrumental music]
This is it. We did it.
It's Christmas Eve
and we have a packed house.
'Cause of the air conditioner.
I just want to thank you all for
your hard work and dedication
which I believe, is the true
meaning of Christmas.
Group hug.
[all screaming]
(Porky)
'Hoo hoo hoo!'
(Lola)
'Oh, this seems like
a good time to tell'
'everyone about
the trap door I put in.'
Trust me,
it will make our entrances
and exits much more dramatic.
[gasps]
How do we ge-get out?
W-We're gonna suffocate.
Ooh, I've heard that's
the most pleasant way to go.
I've heard that, too.
But it's not gonna come to that.
Bugs will get us out.
Bugs! Bugs!
[indistinct chatter]
Hello?
- 'We're down here.'
- Lola?
Bugs, we fell through my
trap door and we're stuck.
Trap door?
thud thud thud
- Unh! How does it open?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I think I might have focused
too much on the trap part
and not enough on the door part.
thud thud
It won't budge.
What are we going to do?
The play starts in one minute.
You'll have to tell everyone
the play is cancelled.
But you've worked so hard.
Well, there's
nothing else we can do.
And at that moment
Bugs Bunny found
the Christmas spirit.
Too bad he didn't
also find a better script.
Oh, Hambone, it looks like it's
just you and me this Christmas.
oink oink oink
Ha ha ha! Hambone.
You're such a funny pig.
- 'Oink.'
- 'Ha ha ha!'
Hey, look. "A Christmas Carol."
That's, I-I say, that's
one of my favorite plays.
Never heard of it.
[instrumental music]
thump thump thump
Where is Santa Claus?
Well, how should I know?
I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Well, if Rick Evans
didn't kidnap Santa
then where is he?
creaks
'No!'
Bugs, you weren't supposed
to use the trap door.
- Really?
- Now what are we gonna do?
There's no ending.
[bells jingling]
[all gasping]
- Ho ho ho!
- Santa?
I know what you're all thinkin'.
This is the worst
Christmas play you've ever seen.
And I can't say I disagree.
'But it took a lot of effort
to put on a play this bad'
'and if there's one thing
that's worth the effort..'
'...it's Christmas.'
Look, I know it's a lot of work
tying the tree
to the top of your car
and then draggin' it inside.
Pine needles goin' everywhere.
Packin' up the car and driving
six hours to grandma's house.
But these are the things
that bring us all together.
Even this utterly
unrecognizable version
of "A Christmas Carol."
I mean, look around you.
The whole town is here.
Yes, I know that
Christmas isn't easy
but nothing worth doing ever is.
Now, if you'll excuse me
I've got to deliver presents
to every boy and girl on Earth.
You think that doesn't
take a lot of effort?
Ho ho ho!
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Oh!
[all applauding]
Nice trap door.
Let's see here.
Lola. Bugs. Gophers.
Oh, you can decide
who gets what.
Yosemite.
Better luck next year.
Speedy.
