Titans!
Are you ready to go to the Jump City State Fair?
I'm gonna eat so much food till I explode, baby.
Oh, yeah! Deep-fried burrito cupcakes heres I come.
I will partake in so many of the amusements.
Woo-hoo!
It'll be our biggest adventure yet!
Crime alert?
No, it's a distress call
from the animators of Teen Titans Go!
Animators?
Please, who are these "animators"?
Animators are creatures that look like humans...
but they fear sunlight and dress like little children.
They could be classified into four groups.
Most common is the toy-collecting animator.
This group is willing to blow their entire life savings
on overpriced pieces of plastic.
Next is the historian animator, who's always spouting off facts
about the early days of animation,
even though nobody asked them to.
Then there's the know-it-all animator,
who's got an answer for everything.
Except for how to get their own work done on time.
And finally, the bitter senior animator,
who was once a great leader
but now gets bossed around by people half their age.
These all sound like a bunch of nerds, yo. Ow!
Show some respect!
These "nerds" are responsible for creating our show.
What do these animators want?
They're asking for our help.
They say lately we've been overwhelming them with our big adventures,
and if we don't cut back a little,
then their schedule will get out of control and run wild!
It could destroy our entire show.
Oh, no!
Oh, I'll kick that schedule in its stupid face, yo.
I'm afraid it's not that easy.
This is not just a schedule,
it's a very aggressive schedule.
That's one mean-looking schedule, yo.
So what can we do to help?
"Stop lip stink"?
Our lips don't stink.
Robin's lips do.
His whole mouth smells like tuna fish.
No, not "lip stink," lip sync.
It's the process of animating our mouths every time we speak.
Hold up.
You means to tell me some animator be touching my mouth every times I speaks?
- Ew, gross. - Here, put these on.
See, now that our mouths are covered,
our lip sync is no longer an issue. Problem solved!
Not really, my lips are my best feature, yo.
You can't deprive the world of my lips.
Right, mama?
Too bad these bars don't shut you up.
I look like I'm being inappropriate...
This is not so bad.
Now let us go to the state fair.
What's up with the elevator, yo?
It seems the background department
has just requested that we stick to the tower
so they don't have to draw any new locations.
Oh, come on, man. They're demanding stuff, too?
It's cool, we can just chill and watch some TV.
Yo, what's up with the remote?
It isn't the remote.
It's just that animating a show within a show takes a lot of work.
How do they expect us to entertain ourselves?
I know something exciting we can do.
I'll give you all a thrilling lecture
on creating an animation budget.
Now, the first step to creating a budget
is dividing it into two categories.
The first category is above the line
and the second category is below the line.
Ugh! I do not think I can take the much more.
Ugh. Let's get out of here, yo.
Okay, what now? We're not allowed to walk?
Exactly! Do you know how long it takes
to animate a person walking?
But whats if I gots to go to the bathroom?
Well, then you'll have to go right here.
I ain't gonna pee-pee on no couch.
That's just nasty!
Ooh, I've got a solution.
I can make us all float.
Azarath Metrion Zinthos!
This ain't no solution, mama.
All this floating around is making me motion sick.
And all of my blood is rushing to my brain.
These boots were made for the walking, not the floating.
Would you guys stop complaining? This is amazing!
I finally have the ability to fly!
Look at me! I'm Peter Pan!
Okay, I need some practice.
But this is still amazing!
I'm glad you're having fun, Robin.
Because we ain't!
Friends, perhaps we could cheer ourselves up
by enjoying the meal of the snack.
That sounds way better than watching Robin fly around like a dummy.
Wait, Titans, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.
Hey, what happened to all our food?
Looks like the props department is a bit behind as well.
They didn't have time to draw new food for us.
Then what do they expect us to eat? The air?
Exactly, Beast Boy.
We can just use our imaginations to eat.
Just watch.
Ooh, look! Some corn on the cob.
Delicious. And look...
there's a bowl of mashed potatoes.
Have you lost your mind, fool?
Not at all. Come on, give it a try.
Well, if you say so.
Yeah, so good.
See, this isn't so bad.
Here, Raven. Try some jalapeño nachos.
Mmm, yeah. Spicy, I guess?
And, Starfire, you are gonna love
this chocolate milkshake!
The slurp, the slurp.
Here's one juicy burger coming at you, Cyborg.
Right. Sure is juicy.
Oh, take smaller bites, Cyborg.
You don't want to imaginary choke.
See, we don't need real food after all.
All we need is our delicious imaginations.
Isn't this great?
No! It is the opposite of the great.
This is awful.
Them animators has gones too far.
Aw! Hey! Take it easy.
We are the done taking orders from them!
- Argh! - Argh!
Azarath Metrion Zinthos!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Cover those mouths. Stop talking.
Who's up for a nice stroll?
We are! Right after we finish this real pizza.
Cut that out. All of you!
You're going to overwhelm the artists.
It's cool, brah. They can just work some overtime.
They're already working overtime!
What was that?
It's the very aggressive schedule.
And thanks to your careless shenanigans,
it's now out of control!
We have to stop it before it destroys everything.
Let's take that fool down.
Stop! You can't fight that thing!
Oh, yeah? Watch us.
Ow!
Your fighting is only creating more work,
which is making the very aggressive schedule even more aggressive.
Guys, I think he's right.
Then how do we do the calming down of the schedule?
We have to throw money at it!
But we ain't gots no money, fool.
Then we're doomed.
Ahhh! My tooth be on the wrong side, yo!
Oh, no! My anchor points are unregistered!
What's this?
The animators have just informed me
that we can defeat the schedule by battling it off-screen.
What is this "off-screen"?
That's off-screen.
But we've never been over there before.
What if something terrible happens to us?
That's a risk we're going to have to take.
Now, come on, Titans! Attack!
I never knew being off the screen could be so liberating.
We can do all sorts of awesome moves here!
Whoo! I feel sorry for anyone who's missing out on this battle!
We're, like, so amazing!
Look, our off-screen antics are calming down the schedule,
and the animators are regaining control.
Nice work, Titans!
We successfully saved the show
from the clutches of a very aggressive schedule.
Who knew a spreadsheet could be so terrifying?
Or so dangerous.
Yo, I definitely don't want to mess with that thing again.
Then let's make a vow to take it easy on the animators from now on.
[Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire] Agreed.
We have to stop those aliens and dinosaurs
before they obliterate the city.
We're gonna need the help of every DC superhero out there.
And their sidekicks.
And their super vehicles with all their many moving parts!
Oh, yeah. This adventure is going to be epic.
Titans, go!
