Dangerous Squirrel 8: The Dark Angel of Shadows

Dangerous Squirrel 8: The Dark Angel of Shadows is the 2002 spoof (and fake) animated movie, which is 6th sequel and the 8th 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 Tom Ruegger and written by Andrew Stanton and Kathleen Helppie-Shipley.

Plot
Picking up where the previous film left off, Dragongirl, as a teenager, was a good girl having a good time. but the landscape dissolved roughly to reveal the bad signs, saying "NO GOOD", "BAD GIRL" and "LOSER". The reason? It's because everyone hated Dragongirl. Anyways, Dragongirl screamed, until it slides her down to reveal the signs. And Dragongirl screamed out loud. And the loudness, noisy thunderclap wakes Dragongirl up from her nightmares. Dragongirl, as an adult, inside of Spooktacular Haunted Palace, had a terrible dream about bad signs, though Dragongirl decides to take revenge on those dangerous squirrels, since nobody believed her (as a child) that the squirrels did it. Speaking of that, Kata thinks her stomach was humongous, and acorns are jumbo sized, but Kata was really pregnant. Now, Oswald came to check on Kata. Sophie and Corey came to see Oswald and Kata. All of a sudden, an unborn squirrel kicks Kata, so Oswald feels Kata's stomach as an unborn squirrel kicks her. Next, Corey does the same... and Sophie does the same. Because of a pregnancy, Kata can only walk, not run. Corey, Sophie and Oswald might take Kata to the Vitaphone Animal Hospital, but they can't, because Kata knows it's too far over there. Plus, Kata thinks Dragongirl might know where they go back, because Dragongirl must destroy the squirrels and take Sophie away from Corey, so they have no choice but move forward quickly. Sophie carries Kata to another hospital while Corey carries Oswald can go with Sophie and Kata... until they went to the National General Great Oak Tree, which has Motel (first floor), Hospital (second floor), Police Station (third floor) and etc. (et cetera) stuff (fourth floor). Sophie and her friends came to the right place just in time. However, the tree is the only for squirrels, so Corey and Sophie want to stay outside, while Oswald quickly takes Kata inside of the National General Great Oak Tree to the hospital in the second floor. Sophie informs Corey that Kata's going to have a baby. Also, Corey knows Oswald, Kata & their baby will become a new family. Back at the Spooktacular Haunted Palace, Dragongirl decides to build the eighth mechanical monster named Shroudona. They introduced themselves. Meanwhile, at the National General Great Oak Tree, Kata gives birth any second. With no one else around in this tree, Oswald tells Kata to do one thing: Push. Kata can't do this because it hurts so bad, but Oswald tells her it's the only way to do this. And Kata decides to push it real good... and Kata screamed so loud, Dragongirl and Shroudona heard, thinking everyone feared Dragongirl already. And now a baby squirrel is born. Anyways, Oswald and Kata looked at their baby squirrel. Kata thinks it's a boy, so they called their son, Joey. They wrapped Joey around in a blanket, so they move onward to the first floor... motel, that is. They whispered and talk quietly so Joey can sleep in the crib, but he's hungry. Oops, the picture flips to another picture about the squirrels leaving the second floor. Oh, Joey was cooing. Babies coo nowadays and nowanights. Anyways, Oswald and Kata feed Joey with a baby bottle that has white milk. After that, Joey's crying, so Kata burps him by pats Joey on the back, but not too rough... and Joey burped... and he cooed happily. Now Joey can rest to replenish energy

At the Spooktacular Haunted Palace, Shroudona decides to put a black cloak on Dragongirl, so she was in disguise of darkness. Now at the Vitaphone Town Hall, Mayor Davis, Tristan, Deputy Tom, and Sheriff Moe received another information that Dragongirl has disguised in darkness, because of her 8th mechanical monster (Shroudona). Now, here's the VNN -- Vitaphone News Network... with a news anchors, Maria and Ivan, receiving some news report about Dragongirl, who's disguised in darkness because of her 8th mechanical monster she invented, though she has nightmares about her own traumatic childhood memory. Now, Sophie wanted Corey to see check out... and she shows Corey that Oswald and Kata had their baby son, Joey. Now, Corey and Sophie talk softly... and they see Joey, in person. The reaction of Corey and Sophie is adorable and cute. And Joey thinks his parents met their friends... so Joey can see Corey and Sophie in person for the first time. Dragongirl (disguised in darkness) and Shroudona came from the Spooktacular Haunted Palace. Oswald thinks he knows who's that lady in darkness, but she (Dragongirl) doesn't care who she is... and she needs a little girl (Sophie) to come with her. Unfortunately, the only way to break the spell is to say the magic words, especially Corey and Sophie saying, "Brightness will come, Darkness will go". They say the magic words together... and Dragongirl's darkness cloak disappeared. And Dragongirl was disappointed. Finally, Shroudona's had enough. Shroudona yelled so loud, Joey (Oswald & Kata's baby son) cried. Shroudona doesn't care whether or not babies cry. And Dragongirl called Joey a politically incorrect word that rhymes with "Cupid". Oswald tells Shroudona not to call baby names, but Shroudona doesn't care. Now, Oswald has had enough, so he finds an anvil while Sophie and Corey are defending Kata and Joey. Shroudona creates a distraction as he threatens them to take away the lives of Sophie and Corey if they refuse to stand aside from Kata... and Dragongirl, Sophie's stepmom, decides to take Sophie back home to Spooktacular Haunted Palace with her and she'll ground Sophie, Dragongirl's stepdaughter, for five weeks. But Oswald came back just in time, so he throws an anvil, right onto Shroundona, causing himself to shatter into pieces and wond up... beyond repair, much to Dragongirl's frustration and to Joey's happiness, as the glass-like shatter makes Joey laugh.

Finally, Dragongirl's had enough, so she grabs Sophie to take back home to Spooktacular Haunted Palace with her. Sophie screamed, causing Joey to cry again. Sophie's struggling with Dragongirl. Kata is very angry with Dragongirl that she (Dragongirl) made Joey cry again, but she replied rudely replied. Finally, Oswald uses a toy hammer to bash Dragongirl's right foot, causing her to release Sophie for good and hops on one foot, and Dragongirl screamed in pain, and mutters in anger and in pain, causing Joey to laugh for happiness, thinking it was part of the show... a funny show, that is. Anyway, Dragongirl hops along onto the PolyGram Falls, swept away screaming in a waterfall. Kata is cheerful that Sophie is saved and Joey is happy. And then, Joey says his first words, saying "Mama" and "Dada". And Oswald and Kata surprised that Joey said his first words. Corey and Sophie seen and heard that Joey said his first words, so Oswald and Kata teaches Joey how to say more words, especially the names of Corey and Sophie... and Joey did. Now, they shall take a picture of a family, but Corey and Sophie doesn't have a camera, so Oswald decides to go to the National General Great Oak Tree and enter etc. stuff (4th floor) to get the photo camera... and succeeded. Now they stand by the wallpaper projector that has a tree on a beautiful landscape, so Corey and Sophie decides to take a picture of the squirrel family, Oswald, Kata & Joey. And picture was taken. Oh, Oswald can't hug Kata or Joey, because Kata holds Joey, though they smiled for the camera. Anyways, Corey and Sophie looked at the picture of the squirrels. Oswald and Kata decides to take Joey along with them, Corey and Sophie. Now, they decided to move forward onto their journey. Dragongirl survived the waterfall and splashes out of the water.

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.
