"We were created as characters in a 2D cartoon..."

''...Life was peaceful for us. Life was peaceful for all cartoons. Things were a lot simpler back then. This was during a time where we could get away with racial stereotyping. There were no morals or messages about accepting others. None of this nonsense about accepting minorities and other groups of people.''

''Home, the universe we came from, was basically perfect. We had our own cartoons, us Mongos. They're relatively obscure now and I doubt any of you have seen any of them, but we had fun making them.''

"So how is that traumatic?" asked Scoobs.

The blue Mongo stared at him. "STOP INTERRUPTING MY STORY."

''All the cartoons would hang out at the local Toon Bar. We were cartoons, we didn't drink actual alcohol, but we had some great times. Basically, everything was good. But then... In 1928... Everything went wrong...''

''That's when Disney released their masterpiece. Steamboat Willie... Oh, I despised that bastard. We all did. He took the world by storm and everyone was left behind... IN THE DIRT! HE LEFT US IN THE DIRT! I feel bad for poor Oswald. You probably don't know him, cause you're stupid. He was Disney's intended mascot. He was gonna have it all. Fame, riches, a fancy house. But Willie took it all away from him.''

''Before then, we were all treated as equals, but suddenly... There was now this hierarchy. We didn't like it. However, we learned to live with it, just because we had to. Things only got worse though. Just a couple decades later, stop motion animation was introduced. 2D animation was considered outdated by some! More people wanted something tangible! So... We transitioned to claymation. We thought we did a good job at it. Apparently not... Nobody tuned in and everyone had forgotten about us. It was all about the ones you kids nowadays consider to be 'classics'.''

Looney Tunes...

Mickey Mouse...

WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARS!
