Dangerous Squirrel 5: The Death of Princess Dragongirl

Dangerous Squirrel 5: The Death of Princess Dragongirl is the 1998 spoof (and fake) animated movie, which is 4th sequel and the 5th installment of the "Dangerous Squirrel" movie series. The movie was produced by Cannon Films & Regency Enterprises, and is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was directed by Sam Pillsbury and written by Andrew Stanton & Kathleen Helppie-Shipley.

Plot
Picking up where the previous film left off, Sophie, Corey and the squirrels, Oswald & Kata, took one last look at her stepmom's (Dragongirl) grave. Nobody (not even Sophie, Corey or the squirrels) believed Dragongirl survived this kind of impact, thinking Dragongirl never existed. Imagine, people called Dragongirl a ghost. As they move on with their lives and going onward to the next place, called the Wackyville Castle, Dragongirl digs her way out of the grave. She's not a zombie, a corpse, or a ghost. She's still alive. But her stepdaughter, Sophie, and her friends refused to believe, thinking they called her a ghost. Now, Dragongirl walks back home to her palace slowly due to the recent accidents she's got. After Dragongirl drank a whole glass of water, she decides to build her 5th mechanical monster named Meta-Zombie. Dragongirl explains everything to Meta-Zombie about Sophie and friends calling Dragongirl a ghost. And Meta-Zombie decides to help Dragongirl to prove herself she's not a ghost, so they move onward to follow the trail of Sophie and friends. Speaking of that, Sophie and her friends enter the Wackyville Castle. This time, it has funny stuff, not scary stuff. And they went inside of the Wackyville castle. They see the dance light floor boards. As Sophie and her friends started to dance, they started to laugh. Sophie laughs like Little Miss Giggles, and Corey laughs like Mr. Funny. As they finished dancing, they went upstairs to find any place to sleep.

And they found it... the master bedroom. Unfortunately, they stopped laughing. And they yawned. They tried to go to sleep in the bedroom of the West Wing at Thames Castle, and they did... a little, so Corey and Sophie decide to take a nap... and so are the squirrels, Oswald and Kata. Little did they know, Dragongirl and Meta-Zombie snooping on a window. It's too bad, Meta-Zombie talks loud because Dragongirl doesn't know how to make a volume control to Meta-Zombie, so she suggests him to be quiet, or else they'll wake up Sophie, Corey & the squirrels. And their nap time will be ruined. At Vitaphone Town Hall, Mayor Davis, Tristan and Deputy Tom introduced Mike's replacement, Sheriff Moe. Back at the Wackyville Castle, as Dragongirl and Meta-Zombie went into the Wackyville Castle quietly and as Dragongirl quietly enters the bedroom where Sophie and her friends are sleeping, Dragongirl slams the door so loud, it wakes up Sophie and her friends. And Dragongirl prepares to scare Sophie real bad. Now, Dragongirl firmly informs Sophie that her stepmom (Dragongirl) is still alive and she scares her so bad. Also Sophie lied to her stepmom about how Dragongirl died. Although Dragongirl uses inside voices, Sophie was really scared. Now Dragongirl didn't call Sophie's parents or Corey's parents or anyone else, so nobody knows they're here and nobody's coming to see Sophie or her friends. Dragongirl will threaten to capture Sophie once more if Sophie will lie to her stepmom, and Dragongirl storms out, tells Meta-Zombie the good news, which is Dragongirl taught, Sophie, her stepdaughter, a lesson. Meanwhile, Sophie was scared so bad, she started to cry. Corey tries to ask Sophie what's wrong, but she was too scared to reply. And Sophie can't stop crying. Oswald and Kata tried to cheer Sophie up, while Corey slowly helps Sophie to give him a hand gently. Corey means Sophie no harm. As Sophie and Corey gets close to each other's faces slowly, they close their eyes... and they kissed each other... and they hugged each other. Thanks to Corey, Sophie stopped crying. She feels happy and wasn't scared anymore.

Now, Sophie decides to tell her friends about what happened to her stepmom, Dragongirl. She came back, though she's became a ghost. Kata has an idea. She'll do a seance. When Kata is a little squirrel, her parents did the seance. Here's what they'll do: Sophie and her friends sit down, hold hands, keep quiet, close their eyes and concentrate, so Kata does the humming. As Kata does the seance to channel the ghost, Dragongirl replies to Kata... and Dragongirl decides to get revenge on Sophie and her friends... for real. And Sophie calls her stepmom, Dragongirl, two politically incorrect words that rhymes with "cupid" and "host". And Dragongirl yells "WHA-WHA-WHAT?!?!". and has had enough... and so is Meta-Zombie. Now Dragongirl shall capture Sophie and Meta-Zombie shall take down Oswald & Kata, but Sophie and her friends dodges Dragongirl & Meta-Zombie. Now they chased Sophie and her friends downstairs and went into the mess production room. Trapped and surrounded by Meta-Zombie, Oswald and Kata dodged Meta-Zombie, who went through the Crushinator, destroyed instantly. Finally, Dragongirl's had enough so she decides to do the job herself for Meta-Zombie. Trapped and surrounded by Dragongirl, Corey and Sophie dodged her and pushed Dragongirl into the Bookinator, turning Dragongirl into a book. Unfortunately, after years of self-abuse to the machineries, the wires will short out and everything in the Wackyville Castle will be exploded and destroyed, so Sophie and her friends evacuate immediately. As they went out of the Wackyville Castle, it explodes! The black smoke created from the explosion... and Dragongirl book flies onto the ground. Sophie and her friends are safe and sound. They look at Dragongirl Book and started to laugh at her. Now Sophie throws Dragongirl book somewhere far away that nobody will ever find it. Now, Oswald and Kata, who are at the fields of acorns, made their very first kiss... and decide to eat the acorns. As for Corey and Sophie, they decide to take a nap on the grass. Now, the Dragongirl book has a photo of herself as a kid.

Production
I'm (JamesTherHAMPMaster) ready to tell you a story about the Dangerous Squirrel movie level 5, I made, which is called "Dangerous Squirrel 5: The Death of Princess Dragongirl" (1998). I made an original movie on August 4, 2016. I use so many voices... just like the late, great man of a 1,000 voices named Mel Blanc (1908-1989). I drew and colorized some characters on sketch pads and cut out them with scissors to make characteristic paper figures on my room on July 12 & 28 - 29, 2016. Also I've drew some 4-way background sequences on sketch pads on July 26 - 28, 2016. I also made a book on May 7, 2010. Now, I use a DVD camcorder, with a tripod, to face my laptop. At the beginning of the movie, first of all, the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo (75th Anniversary variant) appeared with a byline "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" (1992-2001). Followed by the Cannon Films logo (1985). And the Regency Entertainment logo (1994). Although Cannon Films is owned and distributed by MGM and Regency Entertainment is owned and distributed by Fox, those Dangerous Squirrel movies are from Warner Bros. After three logos (Warner Bros., Cannon & Regency) have shown, there's the prologue from "Dangerous Squirrel 4: The Castle of Nightmare" (1997), along some parts of the musical theme from "The Haunting" (1999).

You think "Dangerous Squirrel" means a squirrel is dangerous? Actually, a squirrel named Oswald is in grave danger. He has nightmares about mechanical monsters that soon turn out to be a reality. Also, the name of the title is a parody of Danger Dog, which cartoon created in the early 2000s. If you think the title "Dangerous Squirrel 5: The Death of Princess Dragongirl" will be in UK, perhaps this title will be "Dragongirl 5" (1998; UK) and therefore "Dangerous Squirrel 5" will only be in USA. I made some of the fake movies, though. That Dangerous Squirrel Level 5 Book I made makes me following the paragraph as I snapshot the sequence.

I took a lot of photos of the drawings I made on a DVD camcorder with an SD card in my room on July 30, 2016. First of all, I use my DVD Camcorder to face those cut-out characters & objects and background drawings I made. Anyway, I insert the SD card to the laptop. I put these photos I took onto "Photo/Video Timeline" in Windows Live Movie Maker. Now I edited these photo clips and and added photos to it from each folder. Anyway, I recorded a lot of voices from the homemade book I made, removed it from narration timeline, and reimport it to the music timeline, trimmed off some mixed-up words and some goofs. I put some clips of musics onto "Music timeline". Now, I use Video Transitions and Video Effects onto some clips. It's a good thing I've got Windows 10 on my laptop, though I worked very hard to put good stuff on Windows Live Movie Maker. I saved some parts of the whole thing... until I finished. That's the hard part on July 31 - August 4, 2016. I put my mini-DVD camcorder to face the laptop, plug up the audio/video wire from the mini-DVD camcorder to the DVD recorder. I put the TV set on mute so it doesn't have feedback screeches. I can only imitating sound effects... and not allowed to do some commentary talking. I saved the movie, and two special features into videos.

Anyway, I started recording that unmaking & unreleased movie on DVD by August 4, 2016.
