Trix the Musical

Trix the Musical is the 2rd short in the Trix Toons series.

Plot
This short is about Missy, Sandra, Stan, and even Chip the Wolf from the Cookie Crisp commercials is seen practicing for an event called Battle of the Bands that is about to happen that evening, and they are heavily struggling to find a guitarist and practice when Chip abandons them on such short notice.

Pretty soon they see the Silly Rabbit, a rockstar who mysteriously disappeared, according to Missy, and who’s career got ruined by Strauss Von Hindenburg who composed the ultimate guitar solo, and at first is hesitant to join them but then is convinced by Missy after explaining that he was part of a jam once. (Possibly not understanding what she just said.) He joins them as their guitarist.

The whole time this is all happening, Tibar and Bob, his assistant, are plotting to defeat them and win Battle of the Bands again this year, like they always do every year according to Bob.

The new band practices and they think of all of their props, makeup, and stage presence instead of the music but create quite a show when they practice in their garage through a song sequence.

Pretty soon, nighttime falls and the Battle of the Bands is happening in the middle of the city, and as the band is preparing for their big spotlight coming up, and they call them selves, “Trix”. However, Tibar and Bob attempt to sabotage the whole performance by replacing their Rockstar makeup with clown make up, replacing the spotlights with flashlights, and attempting to give the Silly Rabbit Super Sour Lemonade which apparently can render a person unable to speak when drank. Bob is instructed by Tibar to give it to him, and he attempts to do so but he gives him the blue cup which contains normal lemonade instead and failing at sabotoging his voice. When Tibar gets annoyed and tries to intervene, he himself ends up drinking the Super Sour Lemonade instead which causes his mouth to close shut for the rest of the night, and his mouth to be forced shut the nanosecond it reached his mouth.

Once it’s time to go on, the rabbit learns that the show has been sabotaged and he tries to give up at first but then he convinced by Stan that it’s always been about the music regardless on what their stage presence is. So they continue on and they don’t care about any of the stuff that Tibar and Bob did, bring the audience what really matters, and win the Battle of the Bands, along with Tibar being pushed on stage by Bob and still unable to speak from the lemonade.
