Quickly

Larry and Loopy get swallowed by a whale.

Thoughts

This features a great example of a static crowd. In the Charlie Chicken Live Summer Spectacular scene, Larry and Loopy are shown cheering enthusiastically while surrounded by unmoving figures. I do not point this out to criticize it. It makes sense not to animate the crowd. The focus on the focal characters is economic and it means the detail is being put into the part that matters the most.

Way Too Much Detail

The Cooper family are on vacation in Aquaworld. Larry is devastated when the Charlie Chicken Live Summer Spectacular is cancelled. Larry joins Loopy while she uses her metal detector on the beach to treasure hunt. 

They investigate an island, it turns out to be a whale. The whale swallows them. Inside they meet Charlie Chicken and Turkey Thompson. The comedic pair don't want to escape the gold and riches filled whale. They are oblivious to the fact that they can't do anything with the money while inside the whale. They only care that they are rich. Loopy convinces them to tell whale jokes. The whale gets sick and offended by the whale insult comedy. The whale blowholes them all out. Charlie and Turkey return to do their show with a new appreciation for the thing they love to do...tell bad jokes.
