(AUTHOR'S REPORT: Alright, I thought I'd start with someone from the Starter Pack, Sidekick Pack's Next and after someone from the Villain Pack, we go free Range, Folks...at least... that was the original plan... then my cord got frayed and the rest is history.)

-Jack Sparrow POV-

Everything is clearer now...

A grinning man was embedded on a screen unlike the other blue screens. It was at the pool made to look like something straight from the Grid that I saw her taking a bubble bath.

life is just a dream, ya know, it's never-ending...

The girl who had given me quite a hard time over the years from her childhood filled with plenty of adventures with her family of Toys to her most recent escapade when she rammed my ship into the cauldron of a witch who was ineffective in hindsight.

...I'm ascending

Sekai Montague.

The lass was resting as she viewed the last seconds of imagery tick away with a curious phrase about weights, but the point is this young woman and her steel-feathered friend, Tengen, are in for quite some karma. "Ramming my ship into some alternatively dressed toy's overgrown coffee Pot? Are you fragging me, like, fragging me specifically? The monkey can run the Black Pearl better than you!"

Then she rose from the waters, nude and refreshed, leaving myself distracted and paralysed by the shapely curves of womanhood in the process. But I'll be alright if she doesn't go for the kill and change the subject.

"You know what I like about Cowboy Bebop?" ...great. "It's because it speaks about no matter how you would start your life over, you still have to tie up loose ends and figure out how you make amends to the past, live well in the past and move on into an uncertain future."

She explained to me the cast of characters in the Bebop crew as she put on her bathrobe. I'd try to get her back on track but you know my manners by now so I kept quiet as she explained em all one by one, saving the best for last. First the tenacious Faye Valentine, then the kooky science girl Edward, the retired cop Jet Black and then we had reached Spike Spiegel. "Spike used to work in the Mafia with his colleagues Julie and Vicious before he went rogue and became a loner and eventually the Co-Captain of the Bebop."

"The slag does this have to do with my ship?" I asked the wench and to that her Afterthought familiar had replied: "Both suffered alot of damage protecting the world from an old enemy of their corresponding captains."

Bah to that, she was only Captain 'til I came back! I just wanted her to apologise for the ship, maybe this is her way of saying 'I'm sorry'

"You ever heard of a fella named Don Bluth?" the lass had asked me to further ignore the problem at hand as I held back the urge to put the princess out of her misery for but a few seconds of peace.

"Carry on, then." I hesitantly requested of Sekai who would then play this movie on Netflix called The Secret of Nihm as she explained: "Don Bluth is the half-second cousin of Presidential Failure Mitt Romney, but more Importantly, he rounded up a group of animators who were irritated with how Disney movies didn't feel the same as when Walt Disney was still around including the likes of Gary Goldman and John Pulmeroy and fled the studio on his xxth birthday...Just because of that, I think Spike left the Mafia on his birthday as well..."

"Wait, he talked a bunch of animators into betraying the mouse house." I stated in a frantic state of disbelief.

"And he hoped to recapture that Disney Magic in his own movies." Explained Tengen. "Though his Initial offering, The Secret of Nihm, was good and all, The film had simply failed to garner an audience. The next film, An American Tail, was funded, hyped up and advertised up the bloody wazoo by Amblin Entertainment, as in the First of the three orginal Dreamworks guys Steven Speilburg."

"The Shrek Guy?" I asked the lass. She shook her head and corrected me as such: "Close, second Dreamworks guy Jeffrey Katzenburg."

"Ah..." I paused for a moment. wait...wait... "Carry on, then."

"His funding also hyped up The Land Before Time and it's become such a cash cow franchise that you'd need a Pick-Up Truck for everything set in that universe." She joked but then she made a somber-looking face as she spoke more "But we all have at least heard of the Golden Renaissance, correct?"

"Ah, Yes! The glorious Golden Renaissance, '88 to the birth of the new millennium!" I boasted with my familiar grin on that mug of mine "Started with that white rabbit and Ariel really got the ball rolling. Damn, It must be great to live during that period!"

"Well, Don Bluth would beg to differ, While All Dogs go to Heaven was a wonderful movie and Rock-a-doodle was okay, they failed to perform against our flicks, Thumbalina, The Pebble and the Penguin, and most infamously A Troll in Central Park suffered during this time. The following film Anastasia was successful under the domain of Fox but demographic led to one of his best films, Titan A.E., to flop so hard that the Animation Studio Fox gave him down in Pheonix, Arizona closed down because of it." Tengen grimly stated to my face, Sekai then promptly continued. "And that's not the worst part, Some of his allies left him to move on with their animation careers to work on Disney Movies, some of 'em left when Don and Gary fled to Pheonix Like John Pulmeroy, others would leave during the production of Troll to cook up Beauty and the Beast!"

"Geez, sounds like a downer. bittersweet taste but still, that's a Downer" I exclaimed in dissapointment.

"But did you know the Disney Brand was in danger of sinking into the dephs of obscurity without Walt?" Tengen inquired. That frightened me, Disney sent to Davy Jones' Locker...without creating my character? How the bloody hell was that even possible? "Indeed, the dangers of Bankruptcy was ready to close the book on the Disney Legacy forevermore and it was Michael Eisener who saved the company and paved the way for it to revive itself as the Media and Entertainment Giant we know today. But it was the Success of An American Tail and Land Before Time which motivated Speilberg to go to us and Create the white rabbit who started this Golden Renaissance!"

"They say it started with Ariel, but we know it's Roger who started that chain of Hit after Hit." Sekai stated with her smug little grin. "But without Bluth and Goldman, Disney wouldn't be as big as it is Today, hell, half the Disney animated canon, Disney's Television Library and even the whole freakin' Metasphere wouldn't even exist..."

The thought of Disney without an animation studio somehow scared me a little, but it felt intriguing knowing that I owe my existence to a rogue agent such as myself... Really tickles my fancy, don't ya think?

"You wanna know what would be a great challenge for Don Bluth?" She asked me as my back was turned. "Getting all his Stories back under a singular distribution company again. Universal, Fox, MGM, His films have been scattered all over the place! I'll admit, if they were reunited under our banner, I'd be delighted and surprised."

"Yeah, Right. And Roger Rabbit would appear in the Metasphere!" I snarked as Sekai headed back to her home but not before saying: "You're such a pain, Captain... But you're a pain worth having around."

I grinned as I shoved off to get back to the ship. I always look into my Compass whenever I did not seem to know where I was going. And I did not sing my usual dity, I sung the little song that I had heard instead.

Everything is clearer now...

Learning about Don Bluth and Cowboy Bebop in a single conversation is never an easy task. I'm surprised that I now find the urge to use Don Bluth Movies to lull me to sleep. Perhaps I should get some video streaming doodads for my ship and spend a weekend off to watch that Cowboy Bebop Japanime-thing.

life is just a dream, ya know, it's neverending...

Maybe I could figure out the weights line along the way.

...I'm ascending.

-See You, Space Cartoonist-

(AUTHOR'S REPORT: Figured I should show how people in the Metasphere view a certain Disney Deserter. They'd be upset that they left, but be amazed that they contributed so much to the mythos. Okay, Be sure to Read and Review Folks.)
