[laughing]
Okay, guys. Huddle in close for a family photo.
-One. -[groans]
-Two. -[groans]
-Three! -[vomits]
[sighs] Another photo ruined by Chester, the neurotic cat.
You know, sometimes I think you're ruining these photos on purpose.
Perfect. Perfect!
He's absolutely perfect for my calendar.
-Ta-da! -[groans]
Your calendar?
[Mr. Bogota] Yes. Allow me to introduce myself.
Lars Bogota, international pet photographer.
Publisher of the Mr. Fancy-Pants pet calendar.
-[gasps] I love those calendars! -Here, keep it.
It's last year's model, but it's signed.
I'm on the search for next year's cover model
and your rabbit is exactly what I'm looking for.
Those blood-red eyes, the cuddly cheeks, the high-contrast fur aesthetic.
I must have him for my cover.
Wow, the cover?
-What do you say? Do we have a deal? -[Mina] Deal.
Your Bun-Bun's going to be a star.
Just be at the address on the card tomorrow night.
[gasps] A horse wearing a diaper!
[laughs] Tomorrow night. Be there.
Oh, my gosh, Bun.
You've been discovered. You're gonna be famous!
[Harold] You know, Mina's right, Chester.
It does look like you're trying to ruin these photographs.
That's because I am!
I always spoil these group shots.
Well, all except this one.
Bunnicula freaked out after Mina tried to put him in the sun.
[speaking indistinctly]
Oh, yeah, you can't put Bunnicula in the sun.
He'll turn to dust.
The point is Bunnicula can't be photographed.
He's a vampire.
Oh, right!
Vampires cast no reflection and cannot be photographed. It's in--
Yeah, yeah. It's in all the movies.
So, what happens when we go to the photoshoot
and everyone sees that they can't see him?
-What, Chester? What? -Yeah.
I don't know. Someone will come and take him away.
Government agents maybe?
Government agents?
[man over megaphone] Make no sudden movement.
We are government agents and have you surrounded.
Surrender the vampire rabbit and nobody gets hurt.
Bunnicula, look out! It's the United States Postal Service!
Mina!
How could you two betray me?
I trusted you to take care of Bun.
Well, I've got a new cat and dog that won't treat me that way.
Isn't that right, Gerald and Hester?
-Woof. -Meow.
I'm leaving. Forever.
Goodbye.
-[door slams] -Yikes!
Harold, there's a giant tongue monster outside!
[growls]
No!
[Chester] Harold! Harold, snap out of it.
Maybe we can convince Bunnicula to stay behind.
I doubt it. He's already trying on outfits.
Say, you know what, Chester?
Why don't we cover him in makeup? Models use tons of makeup.
Of course. That's it!
You know, Harold, in some weird kind of way, you may be a genius.
Oxygen is great. It helps my brain breathe.
Maybe.
Hey, Bunnicula. Time to get ready for your photoshoot.
Okay, Bun.
Hold still.
Now, turn on that star power!
[sneezes]
Let's try something else.
[Chester] How about a wardrobe change?
Ta-da!
Okay, Bunnicula, try moving around a little.
[gibbering]
I find a little mascara always brightens my look.
All right, Bun, turn on that star power full blast.
[screams] Maybe turn it down a little bit.
[giggles]
[screams] You know what? Turn it down all the way.
[groans] This isn't working.
Hey, guys. I found some more costumes.
-We're ready to go. -Come on.
We can't let Mina take him looking like that.
I know. I know!
Quick, open the doors.
Which doors again? The closet doors or--?
The balcony doors. The balcony doors!
Oh, yeah.
-[whistles] -[screeching]
Somebody call for a taxi to Texas?
Phew.
Yee-haw!
I'm back, y'all.
[Mina] Ready to go, guys?
Ah!
Huh?
[panting]
-[laughing] -Ah!
[Mina] Guys, are you in there? We're gonna be late.
[Mina] Guys, now! We are going to be late.
[Chester groans]
Hah, Dad's taking us in the working car. How cool is that?
Oh, don't forget to buckle up.
Bun and I are ready to go.
-Ready, Dad? -Aye, aye, captain.
-Next stop, stardom. -[gulps]
-[elevator ding] -Okay, honey.
I'll be in the waiting room with all the other chauffeurs. [laughs]
I didn't think there'd be so many other pet models here today.
Hello? Is anyone here?
Mr. Bogota? [yells]
-Oh, I-- -There he is. My latest discovery.
So glad you could make it. This is my assistant, Gunther.
He's very unhappy with you.
Until I met you, his ferret was going to be the cover model.
-Hmm. -[hissing]
All right, let's get Mr. Bunny on set right away.
Hmm, Gunther, bring the sunlamp in close.
This lamp is amazing.
It's like bringing the outside inside.
[yelling then hisses]
[Mr. Bogota] Take it away, take it away!
On second thought, we'll shoot this with unnatural lighting
to preserve his unnatural animal magnetism.
There. Just act natural and let us work our magic.
-In three, two, one. -[camera clicks]
[Mina] Chester!
Ugh, he's normally so well-behaved.
Oh, don't worry. We see this sort of thing all the time.
Aw, Mr. Pussycat.
Are we a little jealous of all the attention Mr. Bunny is getting?
Well, Gunther has something very special planned for you.
[grunts]
[groans]
[grunts]
[groans]
You gotta try this sunlamp, Chester. It's like being on a beach.
Except I don't have to worry about tan lines.
Ugh. No, thanks, Harold. I'm busy right now.
Sit right here. Just like that.
Now, don't look into the camera and give me a big smile.
Good.
Excellent.
But you're more than a bunny. You're also a sleepy bunny.
Perfect, babe. Fabulous.
Now, you're fierce. Dangerous.
Now, offer me oranges.
Now, offer me apples.
Oranges. Apples.
Oranges. Apples. Cantaloupes!
All right. That's a wrap.
Pure gold. I don't even need to look to know we have our cover.
The film. The film!
It's missing!
-What?! -What?!
Chester!
[Mina] Chester! No, no, no!
He's not a bad cat, really.
Oh, I don't blame him, my dear.
I blame myself.
And I blame Gunther. Mostly I blame Gunther.
But all will be well.
We'll try again while Gunther makes Mr. Kitty comfortable.
-Hmm. -[Chester groans]
Oh, this sunlamp is intense.
Good thing Bunnicula's way over there away from this lamp
or he might turn into ash.
Sunlamp?
Sunlight. Yes, of course!
If I just turn the lamp towards Bunnicula,
he'll have no choice but to run away from the camera.
Harold, do me a favor and distract Mina for a few minutes.
All right. But save my spot.
Those penguins have been eying it since we got here.
[bleats]
I called dibs.
-What's up, Harold? -[whimpering]
I took you right before we got here.
[whimpering]
I'll be right back. Behave yourselves while I'm gone.
Now, hold still, Bun,
and show your fellow critters your real personality.
Steady. Steady.
[yells]
Oh!
[screams]
[growls]
[animals whimpering]
[screams] My weave! My beautiful weave!
[meowing]
[chickens clucking]
[cackling]
[elevator dings]
What happened?
Bunny? Chester?
You guys okay?
There you are. I want you to see this.
Gosh, Mr. Bogota, I hope everything's all right.
All right? All right?
Everything is... fabulous!
Just look at these photos.
Look at the terror your rabbit brought out in these animals' eyes.
These are the finest pictures I've ever taken.
But you can't see Bunnicula in any of them.
Precisely!
It is the very absence of Bunnicula which makes these so revolutionary.
I can't thank you or your wonderful pets enough.
Phew.
[Mina] Guess what, guys?
The Fancy-Pants calendar has arrived.
And Bunnicula, you're famous!
And that's not even the best part.
I got a letter from Mr. Bogota,
and he wants us to be in next year's calendar too.
And this time, it's space themed!
[giggles] Now, the first thing we gotta do is get some space suits put together.
-I think we can make helmets out of... -Oh, no!
