as a space-technologies company,

Cuddledyne introduced

their first baby product:

The GPS pacifier,

which allowed parents to easily

locate the missing sucker.

We're moving.

We're moving.

Just be aware that all jetpacks

have been filled with mist

and are fully operational.

Handle with care

when attaching to the birds.

First launching

is in 15 minutes.

What'd you want me to change?

Cover the D and the E.

Starting now, this bad boy

shall be known as the Mistifier.

Nice!

Give me my update, Alexei.

Two-thirds of

the supersonic jetpacks

have been attached to the birds.

The first of the fleet are

ready for takeoff as planned.

Brilliant, Alexei!

We're so close,

I can practically taste it!

At midnight tonight,

my birds will Mistify the world,

and children everywhere

will rule adults

once and for all!

The best part is,

no one can stop me!

Thank you!

Get back to work!

The opposite will last forever!

What is it?

- Intruder in Sector B!

- No!

Sir, we've got

a security breach.

Are you trying to ruin

my moment of glory?

No, sir, I just

wanted to inform you

that I've got the situation

under control.

- This isn't a playground.

- It is now!

I'm the King.

You're the peasant!

And they lived

happily every after!

- Come on, kids, let's go!

- Where are we going?

- Out of here!

- Go, go, go!

Help!

You're the worst driver

I've ever seen!

Dad, did you do something wrong?

No, Dad, don't!

Oh... we lost him.

Sammy!

Na, na, na!

You're never gonna believe

where I was today!

What is it, Sammy?

I ran into Chaz.

He was blabbering about

kids controlling adults

and he has this

evil army of birds...

Wait! Slow down for a second.

By the way,

nice job with the house.

It looks great.

Dinner's ready now.

We're having chicken tenders

and French fries.

Yo, Martha Stewart,

what'd you do with my sister?

I'm getting the hang

of this "parents" thing.

Oh yeah, about that,

I ran into Chaz...

You think quiet little Chaz

has something to do

with this opposite mess?

That's just it!

He's not quiet

little Chaz anymore!

I followed him back

to this laboratory,

and he's turned evil, Carla.

He's planning to do

what he did to our town,

except to all over the world!

I thought you loved this!

This was your dream come true!

I'm not so sure anymore.

Being in charge is hard work.

And please don't say

"I told you so."

- I told you so!

- Mom!

Can I ask you a question?

What is it?

Is it OK if we watch cartoons?

Not now, honey.

We've gotta go to the police!

But who's going to

look after the kids?

- Ahh!

- We need a babysitter.

Hello! Thank you for coming.

What are you guys

doing here again?

A few days ago,

something happened.

A machine in Cuddledyne

Laboratories turned everyone...

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Let's move this over here.

Bring them to me.

And we have until midnight

tonight to stop the birds,

or the whole world

will be Mistified.

Come on, hurry!

Can I help you?

Police business.

- Straight through, Officer.

- Thanks.

They're here.

Your transmit is operational.

Where's Chaz?

Hello, Sammy, Carla.

You were in the neighbourhood?

It's over, Chaz.

I told Jasper all about

your evil plans.

I'm not gonna deny it, everyone.

I'm an evil,

evil little villain.

And I should be stopped.

Someone, arrest me, please!

You heard him, Jasper.

Arrest him!

Yeah!

What are you waiting for?

Arrest him!

I should be stopped.

And fortunately for me,

today's not that day.

Traitor!

How could you do this to us?

Chaz is right.

It's kids' time to rule!

Why fight us

when you can join us?

So we can act

like boring grown-ups?

When Chaz told me

about adults becoming kids

and kids becoming adults,

I didn't believe him.

But when he proved it to me,

that it actually happened,

I realized,

this is the way

the world should be.

Kids rule!

With kids in charge,

there'll be no more war

and no more famine.

We'll use the power

of our collective minds

to find solutions to

make the world a better place.

We can take care of our parents

better than

they've ever dreamt of!

This is our time

to shine, Sammy.

You're wrong, Chaz.

We don't need

that responsibility.

We just need our parents.

Oh, what do you know!

You've got them.

Mom! Dad!

I see that we have

a little family reunion.

I've gotta get back

to the station.

Jasper!

They didn't do anything to you!

Let them go!

I fully intend to

release you all.

Once you've been Mistified.

One breath of this mist,

and you'll forget that

grown-up parents ever existed.

You'll be just like

the rest of us:

Small and on top of it all.

You realize you're tampering

with Mother Nature?

Ah, yeah, I hate to say this,

but I like to call it

Daughter Nature now.

Kids all over the world

will be missing

something so special

if you go through with this!

Write a book about it.

Place them in the Mistifier.

Come on! Move along!

You'll never get away with this!

Let go!

Dad... Dad!

What is it this time, Godfrey?

You wanna help me

build my rocket?

As usual,

your timing is horrible.

Peripheral nervous system

activated.

Alexei!

Yes, Doctor?

I am trusting you to finish

the Mistification process

of the Benson family.

Yes, sir.

I have some birds to attend to.

- Chaz! Don't do this!

- Let us out!

March forth,

my bird-brain friends.

Spread the word!

Demistify the world!

You are the last of my warriors!

Together, we will make history!

Together...

we'll change this world.

Kids in charge everywhere!

Fly!

Fly!

Fly!

Countdown to Mistification.

20, 19...

Help!

18, 17...

16, 15...

14, 13...

Help!

No one's gonna mess

with my parents!

Dad!

- My nose! It hurts!

- Oh no, Dad!

7...

Dr. Larabee's

not going to be happy!

4...

- Yeah!

- That's my dad!

Mistification protocol

interrupted.

Malfunction.

- Cool!

- I picked them first!

No! I did!

No way! You only want them

'cause I want them!

Whoa! You take 'em!

Go! Turn!

I know this isn't the time

to get all mushy on you, Sammy,

but even though

I give you a hard time,

I'm proud to have you

as my brother.

- You really mean that?

- Of course I do!

Thanks!

For a girl, you're

a pretty cool sister, too.

We don't have much time left!

It's almost midnight.

We have to make

everything opposite again!

We need to reverse the Mistifier

and get things back to normal.

Uh, you go that way,

and I'll go that way, OK?

You got it!

All right, uh...

you two, stay here!

The Bensons have escaped.

Send in the ninjas.

Chaz!

Hi-yah!

Kind of spooky in here.

Wanna play?

Let's play!

Hoo! Ha!

Standing in a corner

Feeling like I ought to know

Better

I never should have told you

How to win me over

Yeah, yeah

Shake on you

Always blaming me

It's the both of us

Can I make you see?

You got me wrapped

around your finger

I can't focus on

a single other thing

When I'm with you

If this is your take

on reality...

How can you help me?

How can heal me?

You're never home
