Viewer, beware.
You're in for a scare.
Goosebumps.
Hello!
Can anybody hear me?
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Whoa!
Todd Erikson?
Yes.
You're our grand prize winner.
How do you feel
about being our grand prize winner?
Uh, pretty good, I guess.
Where am I?
You're in Karlsville, my boy.
And this is your day.
So, come on in.
Congratulations!
Let's get this show on the road!
Wave, Todd. Wave to all the people, like this.
We should get started on this thing.
Hey.
Look at this.
That's Karl.
Todd.
Hey, look.
This sign said "population 100" a minute ago.
Todd.
He's got Todd.
What if he can't get out?
How am I gonna explain this to my parents?
"Your son got shrunk down to the size of a peanut",
he's stuck in this toy town"?
May I present our grand prize winner,
Todd Erikson.
Speech! Speech! Speech!
They wanna hear from you, my boy.
Go ahead, Todd.
Thank you.
I've never really given a speech before,
but I'm glad I'm the grand prize winner.
And I just hope I get home in time for dinner.
Well, you know what we've got to do.
Go back in there?
To Karlsville, are you nuts?
We have to, Jessica.
That's my little brother in there.
I'd like to introduce you to the president of KarlCo Enterprises.
Mr. President.
Thank you, Karl.
What if we go in and then we can't get back out?
What else are we supposed to do?
Todd, follow me inside
and I'll personally present you with your prize.
What if we picked up the town and... and shook it?
Maybe Todd would fall out.
Oh, sure, then he'll go splat like a ripe tomato.
Are you excited, Todd?
Yeah, but I just wish I knew what I won.
You'll find out soon enough.
Will I get home in time for dinner?
After you see your prize, you won't even be thinking about dinner.
Right through here.
But even if we did want to get into the town,
I mean, how would we do it?
What's goin' on?
Oh, we have to get you ready for citizenship.
Citizenship?
Didn't I tell you? That's the grand prize.
You're going to become a citizen of Karlsville.
That's it?
"That's it"?
Why, it's an honor.
Do you know the expense of organizing a parade, hiring a band?
The posters?
Some people are so ungrateful.
Well, gosh, I didn't mean to be un...
Unveil the Plasto-Blaster.
What's a Plasto-Blaster?
I'll show you.
How did you get in?
The telephone. Try it!
Watch this.
Well, how about you?
Well, I hit this ball.
It dropped in here.
Not bad, huh?
You mean, you're gonna do that to me?
Of course.
Everyone here is a plastic figurine.
Every now and then we come to life.
That's how it is in Karlsville.
I wonder...
Jessica?
Jessica!
Strap him down!
No!
Here goes nothing.
For a second I thought you weren't coming.
Now all we have to do is find my brother.
Where is everybody?
Help! Help!
Hold him down.
Help!
Stop squirming, you little brat!
Blast him! Blast him! Blast him! Blast him!
What's all this stuff?
It's confetti.
"Grand prize winner."
Todd always wanted to be a winner.
I just wonder what he won.
Do you have anything to say before becoming a permanent citizen of Karlsville?
Help!
Short, but succinct.
What if we can't find your brother?
Don't worry, we will!
We just have to keep following the trail of confetti.
Maybe Todd's not as big a sucker as you think.
I mean, we both got away from Karl.
Maybe he did, too.
You obviously don't know my brother.
Oh, darn, how could I forget?
He didn't choose his color.
We have a number of bright, decorator colors.
Blue, red, green...
Why can't you just let me go?
Yellow...
"KarlCo Enterprises"?
Oh, this guy is so full of himself.
Come on.
Come on, come on!
I think green was a good choice.
It will go with the color of your eyes.
Hey, let's go in here.
You know, we may never get out of here.
I know, come on.
Listen to me. My father's very rich.
He'll pay you a fortune if you let me go...
I don't want money.
I want power.
In Karlsville, I am king.
Yeah!
King Karl of Karlsville.
It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Why do you wanna turn me into plastic?
It's a hobby. Everyone needs a hobby.
My hobby is to get kids under my power.
It passes the time.
Where are we going?
I don't know.
Help! Help!
I hear something.
What are you gonna do?
Duck, duck!
How are you feeling, Todd?
Huh?
I'm going to turn you plastic now,
and forever tiny. Does that scare you?
Yes.
It should.
Poor Todd.
Come on, we've gotta help him.
Get ready.
We've gotta stop this thing.
Get set.
Oh!
There is one other thing.
Maybe back here.
Did I tell you this won't hurt?
No.
Good. Because it does!
Stop it! Help!
Scream all you want, my young boy.
It's music to my ears.
Welcome...
Help!
To Karlsville.
Help!
Hurry! Help!
Boy, am I glad to see you guys.
Come on.
They think they're gonna get away.
He was gonna turn me into plastic...
Great. Tell me later. Let's just find a way out of here.
I got back by calling home.
Where are the kids?
Oh, upstairs in Todd's room.
They're, uh, playing with that miniature toy town, I believe.
Oh, good. It is so charming.
Why can't they have more wholesome toys like that for kids?
Ah, beats me.
There it is!
Need to make a call?
Maybe if we touch home plate.
I can't run anymore.
You have to! Come on!
There's nowhere else to go, my young friends.
Karslville is your home.
What is that annoying racket?
Now I'm in a bad mood.
Chain them up.
Chain them! Chain them! Chain them! Chain them!
Chain them!
What happened to the kids?
What, dear?
I said, "What happened to the kids?"
What?
It's my parents! They must be vacuuming!
Watch out!
They're not doing it on purpose!
I said, have you seen the kids?
I thought they were downstairs with you.
Look, could you turn that thing off?
What?
Look! Run towards the main street.
What for?
Because then we can get sucked out!
But what if we stay little
and then we'll get thrown away with all the dust balls.
It's better than being turned into little tiny statues.
It's our only chance, Todd. Come on!
Come back!
My hat!
No!
Honey, look at what you're doing.
Oh, dear!
Where did you kids come from?
You wouldn't believe it if we told you.
Look at this mess.
Uh, that's ok, Mom, we'll clean this up.
Yeah, you guys just go downstairs. We've got it all under control.
But the model town's ruined.
Ah, don't worry about it. We've outgrown it anyway.
Matthew, you check under the bed. Todd, come with me.
We can't afford to miss one single piece.
Keep looking. We've gotta find him.
Is that all of it?
All but the King of Karlsville.
But how do we know if that's Karl?
Looks like his clothes.
Plus, we checked every inch of that room.
I just wish that we could be sure.
Look. You see there?
That's Karl's head.
Yeah, it... It's gotta be.
Are you sure?
It better be.
Next time, pick on someone your own size.
