Zombies and cheerleaders!
Werewolves and space aliens!
-Welcome to the very first-- -Zombi-Thon!
(coughs) Oh, yeah. Maybe hiding in a pile of dirt
wasn't such a good idea.
To celebrate the fabulous Zombies trilogy,
Cricket and I will be screening some of our favorite
Zombies-themed shorts!
Which is why we're decked out in these sweet costumes.
I'm Zed the Zombie.
We're pretty much the same person
except I'm alive.
And I'm Wynter,
werewolf extraordinaire!
(howls)
And I... have no idea who I am.
And are you sure this is the right size?
It seems you may be a bit confused
about the Zombies movies, Papa,
so why don't we start by watching a chibi short
that explains the whole trilogy.
Miss Brenda, will you do the honors?

(exhales)
That was a mouthful.
Did I miss anything?
Oh, yeah. Eliza's robot.
I mean, the true love
between a zombie and a cheerleader.
It's beautiful.
(sobbing)
(blows nose)
Well, if that moved you into tears,
then you'll be even more moved
by our special guests,
the stars of Zombies themselves,
Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly!
(gasps) But how?
Wait a minute. Where's Ma?
Here we are.
Now please kindly get out!
Uh, this doesn't look like a movie premiere.
It's because it's not!
You two just got Gramma'd!
BOTH: (gasp) Gramma Alice!?
We should have known something was up
when our limo had chickens.
So let me guess, your grandson put you up to this.
(gasps) It's really you!
My new best friends here in the ding dang flesh!
So humbled to have you in our presence.
You both look so different than in the movies!
Oh, yeah. That's just what we look like when we're acting.
But this is what we look like in real life!
-Oh. -Oh. That makes sense.
-So what's this all about? -Well, Milo,
we just happen to be throwing a Zombi-Thon!
But, yeah, I'm sorry I made Gramma
trick you into coming here against your will.
Anything for my grandbabies.
But, Cricket, you should have just asked us to come.
We love chilling with your family.
You do?
Of course. I told you that the last time
you tried to pull something like this.
-(phone rings) -Hello?
Hey, Addison. It's me Zed.
I'm just calling so I can hang out with you
and all your other cool Zombros.
Wait. Is this Cricket Green?
(laughs) The only thing that's green
is my sweet hairdo, Addison.
Hold on. I'm calling your cousin.
-Hello? -CRICKET: Hey, Bucky,
it's your frienemy Zed.
You down for another rap battle?
Trev, it's Meg.
We're being pranked called by Cricket Green.
My name is Zed. This is not a prank.
Sentence-- I'm drawing a blank.
Cricket, why are you doing this?
-Stand by. -(phone rings)
-Hello? -Ah, it's Willa the Werewolf.
-Hey, Chandler, this is Meg. -And this is Trevor.
Cricket Green is prank calling us.
Oh, Cricket Green. I love that kid.
If by kid, you mean, the zombie boy named Zed
who helped all the werewolves then yes, that's me.
Hey, if you're really Zed and not Cricket,
I'm sure you wouldn't mind me saying
that Cricket's sister Tilly
-is the coolest Green ever. -WILLA: Oh, Tilly?
She's a fashion icon.
That purple dress, the pumpy sleeves,
and don't even get me started on her hair.
-(grunts) -You know, just my two cents,
but Grandma's the bomb.
If I was awarding the best Green,
she'd easily get the silver medal.
And for bronze, don't they have a pet goat?
No, I'm Cricket. I'm the best. I deserve the gold.
Wait, Cricket?
But we thought you were Zed.
Look, I just think you Disney stars are so cool
and I thought you'd only want to be my friend
if I lied to you and pretended to be your Zombro.
Oh, Cricket. You don't have to pretend to be somebody else.
We'd love to hang out with you anytime.
All you need to do is be yourself.
-Be myself? -Yeah.
Hey, you all meet me in the forest.
We're gonna go chase some squirrels.
ALL: Uh...
You'll get to cover yourself with dirt
and leaves for camouflage.
See you there in 20. Woo-hoo!
MEG: Cricket? You still there?
TREVOR: Buddy? Zombro?
WILLA: Is he still pretending to be a zombie.
(bleats)
Man, I chased so many squirrels that day.
Good times.
Milo, Meg, it's so nice of you
to stay after being flimflammed.
Can I get you anything to eat?
I'm afraid I don't have any brains.
I'll say.
Zed's just my character, Mr. Green.
I'm not actually a zombie.
(embarrassed chuckle) Right. Of course. Of course.
I'm not really an alien.
It's time to serve up another "Random Rings"
where I played matchmaker with Meg Donnelly.
(phone rings)
-Hello? -Hi, Meg Donnelly.
It's Tilly Green.
Oh, hey, girl. What's up?
Well, I just created the perfect guy
and I wanna set him up with someone special.
-Okay. -He's got a big orange nose.
He can pull off a top hat. And his eyes are so sweet
-you could eat them. -Uh...
His name is Froston. He's a snowman.
Uh, well, more like a snow stud.
Tilly, I gotta level with you.
I don't know anyone who wants to date a snowman.
TILLY: What? But, Meg Donnelly,
that's what everyone said
when you fell in love with a zombie.
(chuckles) Tilly, that was just a movie.
I'm worried your snowman is gonna melt.
Oh, Froston is gonna melt that lucky someone's heart.
Hey, Melissa. No, don't eat his buttons.
Tilly, I appreciate you're such a determined matchmaker
-but I gotta get going. -Wait.
Are you sure you don't know any zombies
or werewolves who might be looking for romance?
I already wrote a song for Froston to profess his love.
-That's great but-- -TILLY: ♪ You and I ♪
♪ Belong together ♪
♪ Even though I'm made of snow ♪
♪ And we will survive the stormiest weather ♪
♪ As long as it's below 32 degrees Fahrenheit ♪
MEG: Tilly, you have a beautiful voice
and this has been fun but I need to get back to--
-Cricket, Grandma, you're gonna hurt Froston.
-MEG: Tilly? -(screams)
I'm coming to save you!
Wait. Tilly.
Why don't you just make another snow person
who Froston can chill with?
You never snow what's gonna happen.
(gasps) Meg Donnelly, you're a genius.
I gotta call you more often.
Okay. Bye, Tilly.
Farewell, Meg Donnelly. Send my love to the zombie.
Call you next week.
I'm worried about that child.
So whatever happened to that snowman, Tilly?
(sighs) Spring.
Speaking of changes, I gotta say,
your family really went all out with your costumes.
You look just like Wynter the Werewolf.
Thank you! My coat is a raccoon!
-(raccoon snarls) -(gasps)
And you make a pretty mean Zed, CG.
(gasps) CG!
Milo and I are officially
at the nickname stage of friendship!
And, Mr. Green,
your Bucky costume certainly is...
-a Bucky costume. -Aw, thanks!
And, Alice, you totally committed
to the alien look from Zombies 3 with your blue hair.
What are you talking about?
This is my regular hair.
-Oh. -Speaking of Zombies 3,
let's watch a few more musical shorts.

Wow! That was amazing.
I had no idea you could sing like that.
Yup. We're pretty much musical superstars.
Dad's gonna drive us to Hollywood any day now.
Now, Cricket, don't go putting words in my mouth.
Okay. Then I'll just put words in Meg and Milo's mouths!
-What? -What?
I think what Cricket is saying
is it's time to watch our Zombies "Lip Switch!"
Welcome to Zombies "Lip Switch!" with Big City Greens .
-What's a "Lip Switch?" -What's a " Big City Greens ?"
This is gonna be so much fun.
Lip Switch! Lip Switch!
ALL: Lip Switch! Lip Switch!
I don't like the sound of this.
Can someone explain what's going?
Nope! Here we go.
TILLY: Once upon a time in the town of Seabrook,
there was a cheerleader--
Howdy, I'm Addison.
I'm a cheerleader.
TILLY: --and a zombie.
Hi. I'm Zed.
And if you can't tell
from my green hair and face paint,
I'm a zombie from the movie Zombies. Wee!
TILLY: After years of being mean to the zombies--
CRICKET: Get away! Get away! Get away! Get away!
TILLY: --the humans have decided to let them go
to their high school.
Uh, what school?
TILLY: Cricket, stay in character.
Oh, right. School's the best.
I'm gonna try out for football.
Son, we both have green hair
-and face paint. -(gasps)
Are you sure football's a good idea?
Folks around here don't like us.
Oh, they're gonna like me, Dad.
And I'm gonna sing about it.
♪ I'm the coolest zombie ♪
♪ That's why I'm in (indistinct) ♪
♪ Who could not like me? ♪
♪ I can't wait to go to school ♪
TILLY: Sadly, no one like Zed.
Welp, it can't get worse than this.
Ah, zombie!
-Ow! -Whoops!
My parents taught me that zombies
are dangerous monsters.
-Rude. -But you're kinda cute.
No, you're kinda cute.
-I said it first. -But I thought it first.
How do you know that you thought it first?
'Cause I was thinking it while you were saying it.
What?
TILLY: Strangely enamored by this cheerleader
who decked him--
Ow!
TILLY: --Zed arrives at...
Football tryout!
Hey, it's me, the coach.
-You all made the team. -Bingo-bango!
-Except for the zombie. -What?
TILLY: But then Zed's magical wristband breaks--
Uh-oh!
TILLY: --and he harnesses his inner zombie power--
Brains!
TILLY: --to pull out through some (indistinct)
to rescue Addison from a near-fatal
cheerleading accident.
MEG: How cool is this stunt?
-Gotcha! -(cheering)
Wow. You literally just save my life.
Hey, Zed. Let's talk.
If you intercept footballs like you intercept
falling cheerleaders, then welcome to the team.
Sweet potatoes. This is awesome.
-(whistle blows) -(grunting)
Sour potatoes. This is terrible.
TILLY: So Zed gets real conniving--
CRICKET: (make sound)
TILLY: --and unlawfully accesses his zombie power.
I shall destroy everyone.
-I'm a zombie. -TILLY: And no one notices.
Zed just straight up turned into a monster.
(squeaky grunts)
(crowds cheering)
That's my boy!
Looking totally normal.
Hit 'em high, hit 'em low.
Watch my zombie boyfriend go.
Watch your mouth, Addison.
We will not cheer for zombies,
even if Zed is our only good player.
Oh, come on, Bucky. Why are you so mean?
Because I'm the film's antagonist.
Um, what's an antagonist?
What in the haystack
they teaching you at this school?
Means I'm the bad guy.
TILLY: So then Zed takes Addison
to a secret warehouse party.
Wow! You zombies are so cool.
You know we're gonna sing about it.
♪ This choreography ♪
♪ Shows our camaraderie ♪
♪ Zombies aren't monstrosities ♪
TILLY: But then Zed realizes
that Addison has a secret of her own.
What the heck? Is this white hair?
Yeah. It's my deep, dark secret.
-That's a weird secret. -I wear a wig
to cover my white hair.
I'm different, just like the zombies.
Uh, not sure that's the best comparison.
Just go with it. Let's sing.
♪ Someday, the humans will get along with zombies ♪
♪ Someday, the world will accept that I have white hair ♪
TILLY: But then Bucky's allies hack into the magical wristband
and fully unleash Zed's inner zombie.
-Brains! -Well, we gonna die.
Aooga! Aooga! I'm an alarm.
-Forgive me, monster. -Brains.
Please don't eat my brains.
TILLY: But the magical wristbands
-get magically fixed. -Ding!
TILLY: Then Zed gets arrested.
-What? -TILLY: So Addison--
Oh, my God. She's in the best part.
I'm so excited.
TILLY: --takes off her wig to show everyone
it's okay to be different.
Aw!
What do you all think of my hair?
CROWD: Boo!
We still hate zombies and now we also hate your hair.
TILLY: But then Zed and Addison ambushed the cheer championship
with a powerful message for the whole town.
♪ This is the final song ♪
♪ Where we all get along ♪
♪ We're out of time, the story's resolve ♪
Don't ask questions.
TILLY: And humans and zombies lived happily ever after.
Bucky, this whistle represents an olive branch.
-That's a whistle. -No. It's an analogy.
I thought you said it was an olive branch.
-Okay. -Addison, we did it.
-We changed the world. -Okay. But no kissing.
Let's just hug and then kiss in the sequel.
TILLY: That's basically the whole movie,
except for... the zombie rebel,
the misguided parents, the eternal optimist,
the surprise cheerleader, a professional dog actor--
Woof! I'm a dog.
TILLY: --a totally real dumbbell.
Go get 'em, Milo.
A colander turned disco ball--
Ooh, sparkles.
TILLY: --these sweet moves. Good job, buddy.
Zed is a human?
(screams) I don't like it.
Ow! Seriously.
TILLY: Flashlights. Ooh, spooky.
And this years' winner of Zombie Idol.
-(sings in high pitch note) -Oh, no. (indistinct)
-shut it down. -Yeah!
TILLY: That's all for now.
To be continued with werewolves.
Wow. You kids were right. Doing a Lip Switch is fun.
And that Bucky's a star. It was an honor to be his mouth.
So what are we gonna Lip Switch next?
Oh, let's do another right now.
-ALL: Uh... -I think we were gonna--
Go play outside?
-BOTH: What? -No!
Lip Switch! Lip Switch!
What have we done?
You know, Cricket, if I didn't know any better,
it seems like you were kinda making fun of our movie.
Well, I know zombies eat brains,
but I didn't know you couldn't take a little ribbing.
-(laughs) -Hey, Milo, I have an idea.
I think you and I should pick the last short
for the big grand finale.
-Uh, say what now? -You're right, Meg.
Why don't we show our favorite "Theme Song Takeover"?
What? No! Anything but that one!
Too late. Hit it, Miss Brenda.
Ah, another Theme Song Takeover.
Who's up this time? Tilly?
-Not me. -Wait. Is it my turn?
I didn't write anything.
Actually, this time, it's our turn.
ALL: (gasps) Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly?
That's right, Greens.
You've had your fun lampooning our Zombies movies.
So we spent all night hiding in your chimney
