[ Barks]

Cool! Whoa!

[ Thwack]

[ Barks]

Doug:
dear journal, every wednesday
our school paper comes out

But today'shonker
was no ordinary paper.

See, it all started
last thursday

When the cafeteria
served magic meat

For the third time in one week.

It was disgusting.

Uck!

Later, I was doodling

Different things you might do
with magic meat

When chalky, who works on
the paper, saw my cartoon.

Hey, this is great.

And there it was, on page six.

I wondered what
people would say.

[ All laughing]

Mr. Bone:
all right, freeze!

Okay, everybody,
drop the papers.

Nice and easy now.

No false moves.

Okay, boys, confiscate them!

What's going on, mr. Bone?

Is something wrong
with the paper?

Don't try that
innocent act, buster.

I'm like
a grizzly bear--

You leave me alone,
I'll leave you alone

But mess with school policy,
and watch my claws!

These papers are going
to the shredder.

What? Why?

You got a problem with
the school lunches

You got a problem
with me.

Comprende,funnie?

Who, me?

[ Footsteps]

[ Hinge creaks]

[ Barks]

That's me.

Hey!

[ Barks]

[ Yelps]

[ Barks]

Doug:
the school paper-- confiscated

And it's all my fault, porkchop.

[ Gasps]

Say, douglas,
just trying out

My new time machine.

What do you think?

A time machine?

But there's
no such thing.

Not yet there isn't.

This baby won't
be out for years.

I was just there,
taking a test drive.

Any place
you want to go?

Huh?huh?

Excuse me.

Of course, it was impossible

But I'd give anything
to go back to last week.

If our principal,
mr. Buttsavitch

Came back from vacation

And saw this

He'd have
both our hides.

Can't we say what we think?

Of course not!

What are you
teaching them?

If everybody said
what they thought

Everything would be
all higgledy-piggledy!

Gee!

This whole thing backfired.

From now on, I'm keeping
my opinions to myself.

Look at this.

What?

Skeeter, put that away.

Where did this come from?

I was trying
to tell you.

Al and lou are
handing them out.

"The cartoon bone
wouldn't let you see."

Oh, skeet, this is...

[ Whispering:]
mr. Bone!

Give me that!

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Boy:
what are
you doing?

Don't think picking
up that trash

Will make up for
drawing that cartoon.

I'm on to you.

Down with bone!

[ Muffled shouting]

Shh!

Want to join

"The doug funnie freedom
of the press society"?

We're telling bone to
give the newspaper back

Or you'll handcuff
yourself to his desk.

Or jump off
the cafeteria roof.

Now, wait
a minute!

Don't worry,
it's free to join.

You guys have to cut this out.

No more fliers,
no more society.

Got it?

Just forget it.

Boy, good thing
he's not a member.

But mr. Bone can't

Take away the paper.

It's ridiculous.

I can't believe
my cartoon caused

All this trouble.

Maybe if
I just apologized

He'd give us
our paper back.

But you were right.

This stuff
is terrible!

Bones should
apologize to us.

Patti:
I'm calling an
emergency session

Of the student council
this afternoon.

What's going on?

Kids:
no more magic meat!

No more magic meat!

Doug, your cartoon has
inspired the whole school.

Yeah, great.

No more magic meat!

No-- hey, look, put me down!

Hey, cut this out! Really!

Please, everybody,
I appreciate all this, but...

Quiet!

Uh-oh.

All right, whose idea is this?

All:
his.

Oh, man!

Look, mr. Shelacki

You've got to believe me.

Shh!

What, mr. Magic meat?

Did that mean boy say
he didn't like you?

It was
just a cartoon.

Oh, no, I'm sure
he doesn't hate you.

Tell mr. Meat
you don't hate him.

Mr. Shela... Oh.

Oh...

I don't hate you.

Give him a hug.

What?

That's it--

Just a big, old hug.

No!

Now I understand.

But I just want
to draw cartoons.

[ Shouting outside]

What's that?

Free doug funnie!

Free doug funnie!

Judy.

Free doug funnie!

Here he is!

♪ Allons, enfants
de la patrie... ♪

Judy, what
are you doing?

It's my political
science class.

We heard about the
neofascist oppression.

We've waited for this.

Judy!

My own little brother

Standing up for
freedom of the press.

Oh, dougie, you learned
something from me.

You're our hero.

But I don't
want to be a hero.

I don't want
to handcuff myself

To bones' desk.

What about jumping
off the roof?

Judy...

If you don't leave

You'll just get me
into deeper trouble.

Uh-oh, quick, hide.

Hide? Never.

I'm standing beside you
all the way to the gallows.

I regret I have
only one brother

To give for freedom.

May I have your
attention, please.

You have seconds to disperse.

Don't worry,
I'll reason with him.

Drop dead, you fascist!

Back at it again,
hey, funnie?

And bringing in
outside agitators, I see.

Oppressor! Pig!

You big bully!

This is going on your
permanent record, mister.

♪ Allons, enfants de la patrie♪

♪ Le jour de gloire
est arrive...♪

Judy's powers of reason
didn't affect mr. Bone.

Maybe if I just apologized

I might get off with
a year of detention.

Crowd:
free doug funnie!

All right, mister,
this has gone far enough!

Okay, okay-- you win.

Just call off your dogs
and I'll make you a deal.

A deal?

What a relief!

I was ready to do anything
mr. Bone asked me.

Boy:
let's take over the building.

Order! Order!

This meeting will come to order.

It has this really
cute skirt, and...

Beebe!

All right,
listen up.

Mr. Funnie has
an announcement.

Doug?

We can have
our newspaper.

[ Cheering]

But we can't make
fun of the school.

Why not?

Well... Because if we just
said whatever we thought

Everything would be
higgledy-piggledy.

Where had I heard that before?

Why, if everybody said
whatever they thought

Everything would be
all higgledy-piggledy.

Isn't that
right, funnie?

Yes, sir-- all
higgledy-piggledy.

What was I turning into?

And justto prove

He didn't mean
what he said

Mr. Funnie
will now have

A nice big bite
of magic meat.

What?

Go ahead-- just eat it.

Remember our deal?

[ Groans]

But I hate magic meat!

Look, funnie...

You said we could have
the paper back if I apologized

But this is too much.

[ Cheering]

Besides, if we can't
say what we think

Just take the paper away.

If that's what you want,
that's what you'll get.

That's it
for your paper.

Finito!

Never again.

Now what do you say?

Mr. Bone, you have
a phone call.

I can't be bothered right now.

It's the principal.

Why didn't you say so?

Hello?

Mr. Buttsavitch!

How was your vaca...

You what?

He saw the cartoon.

You're really
in trouble.

You thought it was what?

Oh, yes, of course
I got the joke.

I thought it was
very funny, too.

Yes, I will, mr. Buttsavitch.

Good-bye.

Well, young man

I just saved
your fanny.

Yes, sir, you
could have spent

A long time
in detention

If I hadn't done
some fast talking.

In fact, I convinced
mr. Buttsavitch

To like your cartoon.

So just be grateful.

So not only did
we get our paper back

But because of my cartoon

The principal took
magic meat off the menu.

What is this?

New dish--
mr. Shelacki's idea.

Happy meat.

[ Sighs]

Here we go again.

Ready?

And... Action.

Doug:
skeeter and I were using
my dad's video camera

To make the world's
greatest monster movie.

Run for your life!

Okay, so it looked kind of lame,
but it might scaresomebody.

We only had one problem.

We still
have to come up

With a totally
monstrous monster.

Mrs. Funnie:
douglas!

I need some help

Separating
the recyclables!

In a minute, mom.

We need something that could
wreak unmentionable havoc...

Douglas!

Something big and scary...

[ Scream]

Douglas yancey funnie

When I say to come,
I don't mean maybe.

Oh.

[ Footsteps]

[ Hinge creaks]

[ Barks]

That's me.

Hey!

[ Barks]

[ Yelps]

Mom is part-time manager
at the deja vu recycling center

And sometimes it seems

Like that's all
she ever thinks about.

That goes in
the etcetera pile, boys.

[ Grunting]

Ooh-- ooh, ooh!

Ooh, ooh!

Hey, doug, how about
using this statue

As the monster?

Hmm...

Alas.

[ Laughing]

Nah, shakespeare
would never do that.

Wait a minute.

What is it?

I think I just
figured out

Our monster, skeet.

[ Muffled yelp]

There-- a giant,
flying shark dog

From outer space.

[ Screaming]

Well, maybe it'll look
better on tape, doug.

Oh, porkchop,
you look so cute.

You're distracting him.

Oh, sorry.

Would you mind taking
some things to deja vu?

Mom just didn't realize
how important our movie was.

[ Screaming]

Oh, how cute!

Oh, dougie-- did you
recycle the bottles?

Why didn't we
edit her out?

We couldn't, man.

She's in every shot.

I decided to get some
moving sh*ts with my helmet-cam

On the way to deja vu.

Whoa, look out
for that trash, man!

Hey, where did everything go?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Look out!

Both:
bean can!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Wow, what
a disaster!

Did you tape it?

Got it.

This'll be great

For the end
of our movie.

This is going
to be so cool.

Aw, man!

Oh, well, maybe
we could just use

The sound effects.

Mrs. Funnie:
what on earth was
all that racket?

It's just from
a little accident we had.

Accident?

Okay, guys,
let's hear it.

It was great!

There was all this
junk in the road

And we ran over it

And there was
a painter on a ladder

And this
traffic jam...

All this from trash

And on this tape?

Well, sort of, but...

I've got to show this
to the town council

So something can
be done about it.

But my movie's
on this tape, and...

Sometimes people
make me so mad!

She just couldn't think
about anything but trash.

Douglas!

I don't get it--

Some kid, a dog
in a cardboard fin...

It doesn't add up.

It was supposed to be
a monster movie.

Doug, please.

It's about trash,
mr. Egret.

I'm cyril.

Then what's all this
with the shark dog?

He was supposed...

It's the trash
that I want...

Sorry.

It's a stinker.

Mrs. Funnie:
if people
would just

Recycle
their trash

We wouldn't
have this sort
of problem.

Mom was going to make us
a laughingstock

By showing our tape
in front of the entire town.

It stands for "other people
who will vote for me."

And what does the "r"
in "mayor" stand for?

"'R' you going
to vote for me?"

Any questions?

Mayor white, this town
has a real problem

With trash in the streets.

I'd like to go on record
as saying

Trash is not a problem here.

Meeting's adjourned--
vote for me.

Well, I happen to have
a videotape my son made

Which will show all of you
how grave the problem is.

[ To himself:]
don't let her show it.

My son ran over some
trash on his bike...

Wait a minute.

I saw it happen.

A big old bean can

Nearly wiped out
half of downtown.

What? Well... Why...

That was what I was
just about to say.

Trash is a huge problem
here in bluffington.

I was just
about to tell you

About my, uh, "beautify
bluffington" campaign.

[ Cheering]

That's right--
beautify bluffington.

Whew!

I don't know,
skeeter.

He still doesn't
look real scary.

[ Whimpers]

I know, but
let's just do it

Before your
mom interrupts.

Mayor:
stash our trash!

Beautify bluffington.

That's right.

Beautify bluffington!

Mrs. Funnie:
doug...

What's going on?

Don't worry.

Let your mayor
beautify bluffington.

[ Screams]

Stash our trash!

[ Coughing]

This is terrible!

Doing it this way
was not my idea.

I think I've created a monster.

A monster?

Skeeter, that's it!

A monster
for our movie.

Come on,
I've got an idea.

Stash our trash!

Beautify bluffington!

There it is!

Yeah.

Stash our trash...

You getting it, doug?

I'm getting it.

We held the world premiere
of our movie

At the next town
council meeting.

I'd like to discuss the
"beautify bluffington" campaign.

That's a splendid idea.

Let's go to the charts.

You see, the arrow is going up.

That's good, isn't it?

I think your campaign
is a big mess.

[ Gasps]

We don't need a trash army.

Everyone should just pitch in
and do their part.

But what about my big truck?

Mayor, mayor...

Mr. Mayor

We made a movie

About "beautify
bluffington."

We don't have time
for a kiddy show.

Wait, did you say a movie
of me and my big truck?

Let's see it.

What you are about to see

Is the mayor's "beautify
bluffington" campaign in action.

I like a civic-minded
young person.

One day, he'll
be voting for me.

[ Chattering]

[ Quacking forlornly]

[ Croaks]

Oh, this is terrible!

Stash our trash!

Beautify bluffington!

Stash our trash.

We did it!

We made a movie
that was really scary.

We found a totally
monstrous monster.

Mayor, your truck
trashed our town!

[ Crowd grumbling]

It's not all
the mayor's fault.

He doesn't know
anything about trash.

We need an expert
in recycling...

Like my mom.

Why, uh...
I was just about

To think of that myself.

The job is yours.

Douglas, I really
like your movie.

Mom!

[ Tapping]

Okay, power on.

A little lower...

A little higher.

There.

This is doug funnie's
video journal.

Well, now my mom's raising

The whole town's
trash consciousness.

For my next movie, I'll...

Porkchop!

[ Talking backwards]
