Dangerous Squirrel: Dragongirl's Beginning

Dangerous Squirrel: Dragongirl's Beginning is the 2003 spoof (and fake) animated movie, which is 2nd prequel and the 9th installment of the "Dangerous Squirrel" movie series. The movie was produced by Cannon Films & 21st Century Film Corporation, and is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was directed by Des McAnuff and written by Andrew Stanton.

Plot
Picking up where the previous film left off, Sophie's stepmom, Dragongirl (played by Alicyn Packard), survived the waterfall accident in the Polygram Falls. Dragongirl says "Go Away" -- not to the narrator but to herself, especially her parents and those squirrels (including Joey, Oswald, Kata & their parents). She has an awful memory. It flashes to her childhood memory, and flashes to her own teenage generation and flashes back to herself in present time. Now, Dragongirl decides to return home at the Spooktacular Haunted Palace. Meanwhile, Sophie, Corey and the squirrels, Oswald, Kata, and Joey (played by Liam Aiken), enter Braniff Beach. They see the sign, says "BRANIFF BEACH". Today is Joey's very first birthday. Anyways, Sophie and Corey is ready to go swimming... and Joey can go swimming, but his parents, Oswald and Kata, can't let Joey go swimming, thinking the squirrels can drown in any water places. Oswald and Kata are working hard to raise their own son, Joey, and educate him... just like Oswald raised by his parents... and Kata raised by hers... both in the previous generations. Anyways, Oswald, Kata & Joey have to move along away from Braniff Beach to a different location for a safety spot. Now, Sophie and Corey went to the dressing room, wearing bathing suits and ready for swimming. Sophie and Corey see the clouds broke up and moved away. Finally it was a sunny day for Sophie & friends. Now, Sophie and Corey can splashing, dancing and swimming underwater (only for a short time, or else they'll drown). Those are the fishes inside underwater. Several minutes later, as Corey and Sophie done swimming at Embassy River, Sophie and Corey grabbed towels and an umbrella, and they parked it on the sand between two rocks. The umbrella blocks Corey and Sophie to get sunburned. Don't worry. They put suntan lotion on themselves prevent from getting sunburns. Anyways, Sophie yawned so she and Corey decide to take a nap on their towels. Now, Oswald and Kata sings a "Happy Birthday" song to Joey, and they put a happy birthday hat on Joey. And his birthday present was... an acorn. And unless Joey musts eat this acorn, he'll go to bed without supper, so Joey decides to eat an acorn. And he chewed it before swallowed. Joey likes an acorn... and he learned what squirrels do every now and then. They gather a lot of acorns to inside of the tree every Fall, and they hibernate inside of the tree every Winter. And they woke up from hibernation every Spring and enjoy acorns from Spring to Fall. Anyways, Joey likes to eat acorns, though his parents enjoyed them, too.

Now, back at the Spooktacular Haunted Palace, Dragongirl was so freaked out about her own awful memories, she can't concentrate on working on her 9th mechanical monster... until she decides not to freak out and built her 9th mechanical monster named Metalliclown. As Dragongirl decides to tell her own flashback story, the narrator has to tell a story for her about Dragongirl's flashback story. A long time ago, Dragongirl, as a kid, opens a window in her room inside of a house, all of sudden, the squirrels (not Oswald, Kata, their parents, or Joey) went inside, making a mess at Dragongirl's room. A loud messy noise in her noise heard by Dragongirl's parents. By the time, they've came to Dragongirl's room, the squirrels are gone. They noticed Dragonirl made a mess. Dragongirl tells the truth that the squirrels did it, but her parents refused to beloved her that the squirrels did it. Dragongirl got grounded for a week. Argued with her parents, they took Dragongirl downstairs all the way to the basement for punishment. At Vitaphone School, after the squirrels put the acorns and nuts on her teacher's chair and left, Sondra Saint, Dragongirl's teacher, sits on her own chair, crushing the acorns and nuts. She blames Dragongirl, her student, for the mess on Sondra Saint's chair... and sends Dragongirl to the principal's office, but Dragongirl refused. Instead, Dragongirl talks smack to her teacher. Sondra Saint takes Dragongirl to the office with a principal named Mickey Victor. Now, Dragongirl got a whole week of after school detention. After that, her parents ground Dragongirl for two weeks. Ten years later, Dragongirl, as a teenager (played by Mara Wilson), was forced by her parents to go to school. She thinks Sondra Saint is cruel, but her parents never believed her. And unless Dragongirl has to go to school, she'll be grounded even more. And she goes to school, but little did she know, she was very late... for the last and final time. Dragongirl has to repeat the grade with a same teacher, Sondra Saint. She keeps saying to Sondra Saint that the squirrels already did it. Sondra Saint's had enough of Dragongirl's lies, so Sondra musts send Dragongirl to Principal Victor's office, but Dragongirl refused. And Sondra Saint furiously takes Dragongirl to the principal's office, with Mickey Victor. And Dragongirl got expelled from school. Now, Principal Victor called Dragongirl's parents. Now they took Dragongirl out of the school... and they put her in the car. Dragongirl got grounded for a whole year, though she furiously said those awful name-calling to her parents. Finally, they've had enough, so her parents disown and evict Dragongirl as they ordered her to step out of the car... and they abandoned her in the middle of the road

Now that they abandoned Dragongirl, they'd just move on forward, until they need to go to the outdoor bathroom. Unaware the squirrels (not those ones 10 years ago, or Oswald, Kata, their parents, or Joey) decide to cut the brakes, making it impossible to stop. After the squirrels cut off the brakes, they fled... and Dragongirl's parents decide to move forward. As Dragongirl's dad steps on the gas, it's impossible for him to stop the car, because the squirrels cut off the brakes, and Dragongirl's parents droved to Polygram Falls. As they headed for a waterfall, Dragongirl's dad yelled "DRAGONGIRL!" -- thinking Dragongirl did this, but the squirrels really did it. Anyways, Dragongirl's parents scream and watch in horror. Their car has turned upside down and it made a big splashed onto the river of Polygram Falls. Their car is filled in water. Unable to escape, Dragongirl's parents died of drowning. And Dragongirl has blamed for her parents' death. She was sentenced to spend five years in adult prison at Vitaphone Police Station. Five years later, she was released, and made a scheme to kidnap Sophie, as a baby, by making her parents send Sophie away in a river and Dragongirl rescued her and adopted her as a stepdaughter. Dragongirl tries to turn back time, but it's completely useless because it's too late. There's no going back. There's no turning back, in fact. Now, Metalliclown makes a squirrel joke to Dragongirl... and she laughed with Metalliclown. At the Vitaphone Town Hall... Oh, I forgot to made another background about the Vitaphone Town Hall on a sunny day but I didn't have time. Oh, well. Anyways, at the Vitaphone Town Hall, Mayor Davis, Tristan, Sheriff Moe and Deputy Tom received another information about how Dragongirl was freaking out that she has awful memories of her own previous generations. Now, here's the VNN -- Vitaphone News Network... with an anchorwoman, Maria, telling the viewers about how Dragongirl was freaking out that she has awful memories of her own previous generations. Nobody believed Dragongirl that the squirrels did a terrible mess. However, Dragongirl decide to forget the past, so she built her 9th mechanical monster (Metalliclown) to take revenge on the squirrels.

Now, back at the Braniff Beach, Corey and Sophie are taking relaxation on the towels and an umbrella, so they fell asleep, unaware Dragongirl and Metalliclown walk quietly, pass through Braniff Beach, while Dragongirl whispers to Metalliclown, and decides to come up with a plan. Now, they crashed Joey's birthday party. Dragongirl wants to ask to the squirrels... Where's Sophie? Oswald tells Joey to shush and not to answer Dragongirl's question. And Kata refuses to answer. Now, Dragongirl orders Metalliclown to capture Oswald and Kata, much to Joey's crisis. Metalliclown wants Joey to make a choice -- bring Sophie to Dragongirl & Metalliclown, or Joey's parents will die. Oswald wants Joey to do what Metalliclown says, and Joey agrees to run back to Braniff Beach. And Joey wakes up Corey & Sophie, but he ruined their naptime, though it's an emergency. Joey want Sophie (and Corey) to come with him to Dragongirl & Metalliclown, or Metalliclown shall crush Oswald & Kata (Joey's parents) for Dragongirl's revenge, so Corey agrees and doesn't have much time... and Dragongirl & Metalliclown don't feel like waiting. But just as Metalliclown is about to crush Oswald & Kata, Corey yelled "STOP" to Metalliclown. And Sophie yelled "PLEASE DON'T HURT OUR SQUIRRELS" to Metalliclown. And Corey, Sophie & Joey showed up just in time. Now, Dragongirl wants Sophie (and Corey) to come back home with her stepmom (Dragongirl) & Metalliclown... only if she replies to Dragongirl that she & Metalliclown release Oswald and Kata... and Metalliclown agrees to let Oswald & Kata go, much to Joey's happiness. But before Dragongirl & Metalliclown to take Sophie (and Corey) home back to Spooktacular Haunted Palace, Oswald, Kata and Joey makes bad jokes about bad clowns, much to Metalliclown's insane and anger, so the squirrels called Metalliclown, an Insane Clown Monster (parody of Insane Clown Posse), much to Metalliclown's anger, so Oswald and Kata malfunctioned Metalliclown... and Metalliclown fell down on the ground, much to Dragongirl's disappointment. As Metalliclown says "Overload" several times, Sophie and her friends quickly run back to Braniff Beach for safety. And then, Metalliclown has blown to smithereens, blasting Dragongirl off to Spootacular Haunted Palace, with Metalliclown's broken head with her. That musical theme is "Oceanic Adventures" from "Super Mario 64" (1996). Anyways, Metalliclown says his final words "Metalliclown... IS... Dea-a-a-ad-d-d-d"... right before Metalliclown dies down. And Dragongirl throws a tantrum by saying "NO", because Dragongirl's been on a losing streak once more. Back at the Braniff Beach, Joey explains everything to Corey & Sophie about Metalliclown. Without Sophie, the squirrels (Oswald & Kata) would've died... (and they did with Joey... on Level 12). Anyways, Sophie, Corey and the squirrels, Oswald, Kata & Joey, are all safe. Now, Corey & Sophie kissed each other. Then, Corey and Sophie put up the towels and an umbrella and changed clothes in the dressing room. They wore new clothes for their next adventure. Now, Sophie, Corey and the squirrels are ready to move on to their next adventure. Meanwhile, back at the Spooktacular Haunted Palace, Dragongirl is very upset... and she'll get those meddling kids and the dangerous squirrels, if it's the last thing Dragongirl does.

Production
I'm (JamesTherHAMPMaster) ready to tell you a story about the Dangerous Squirrel movie level 8, I made, which is called "Dangerous Squirrel 8: The Dark Angel of Shadows" (2002). I made an original movie on August 21, 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 August 24 - 25, 2016. I also made a book on May 9 - 10, 2010. Now, I use a DVD camcorder, with a tripod, to face my laptop. At the beginning of the movie, first of all, the 1953 Warner Bros. Pictures logo (same variant as the one from "Ghost Ship" in 2002) appeared with a byline "An AOL Time Warner Company" (2001-03). Followed by the Cannon Films logo (2000) and the 21st Century Film Corporation logo (1987). Although Cannon Films and 21st Century Film Corporation are owned and distributed by MGM, those Dangerous Squirrel movies are still from Warner Bros. Also Regency Entertainment is currently working with 20th Century Fox. Anyways, after three logos (Warner Bros., Cannon & 21st Century) have shown, there's the prologue from "Dangerous Squirrel 7: Princess Dragongirl Returns" (2001), along with last part of a musical suite 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 become 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 8: The Dark Angel of Shadows" will be in UK, perhaps this title will be "Dragongirl 8" (2002; UK) and therefore "Dangerous Squirrel 8" will only be in USA. I made some of the fake movies, though. That Dangerous Squirrel Level 8 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 August 25, 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. Although audio was really messed up and cut off by mistake, I sometimes make a dubbed version of it. I put some clips of musics onto "Music timeline". Now, I use Video Transitions and Video Effects onto some clips. First, I import the sound effects on Music Timeline and I import the voices I recorded on Narration Timeline. Then I saved them into a large sized video, get to a new project, import the large video, though this video is so way longer, I've decided to trimmed one large part off the video, saving each of trimmed video into an each audio file, do some trim tools, copy numbers of seconds at end time, untrimmed all parts, paste numbers of seconds at start time, trimmed off some final parts of the video, saved another part into an audio file, do the same for third time... for the fourth and final time. And I get on the movie making project that has voices and sound effects, though I removed the sound effects from the music timeline and I removed the voices from the narration timeline. I import all four parts of the audio file that has voices and sound effects onto the narration timeline... and finally, I import the musical themes to the music timeline. 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 August 26 - 29, 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 recoring on DVD by August 29, 2016.
