Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] That's My Mummy

Billy finds out that Irwin's mom is actually a mummy, but Irwin and his dad are quick to deny it. Mandy and Grim don't believe him either, until they decide they've had enough of seeing Billy naked as a result of being attacked by bugs, snakes and whatnot, all claimed by Billy as the curse of the mummy. The three investigate, and find that Irwin's mom really is a mummy. As Irwin's dad puts it: "You can't help who you fall in love with".

[edit] Toys Will Be Toys

Billy realises that people laugh at him when he plays with his dolls, the Dinobonoids(Professor. Gaylord, Tex, and Lazlo) and the Jurassic Creeps. Mandy orders Grim to destroy Billy's dolls, but before Billy says goodbye to his dolls, Grim uses his magic to shrink Billy and bring his dolls to life for an hour. But things go wrong - the dolls are small and their powers are nowhere near the power they have in television show. Squirrel eats the head of Dinobonoids, leaving Billy in charge. Billy sets up a game: "You Jurassic Creeps will run away, and we will hunt you and destroy you!" The Creeps aren't really sure about the game, but the Dinobonoids and Creeps split up.

Soon after starting the game, the "mighty" Pud'n captures the Dinobonoids, thinking that Lazlo is a cupcake and Tex a "pretty little girl". After some time, they run away from Pud'n. Billy takes them to Mandy, but she starts destroying the dolls by melting them with a lens. But when Mandy moves to melt Billy, the head of the Dinobonoids appears (without legs) and destroys her lens ("Take that, wicked harpy!"). He boasts that she cannot hurt him as he "disarmed her", but Mandy steps on him. Billy runs away with melted remains of Tex and Lazlo. He wants to put them back in their box and keeps them like a memory, but while he is in the box putting them in their places, magic runs out and he returns to his normal size, trapped in the Dinobonoids box.

Meanwhile, The Jurassic Creeps go to Billy's house and meet Grim. Grim mentions that they will be dolls again within an hour and that he will have to chop their heads off (the Creeps aren't very happy about that). They capture Grim and try to use his scythe to make themselves big, but they fail and accidentally destroy the rarely seen fourth Jurrasic creep. They need Grim's instruction, but he refuses to help them. Just before they were going to destroy Grim with a blast from the scythe, the magic runs out and Jurassic Creeps are dolls again.

At the end, Grim is shown narrating as he throws the Jurassic Creeps into the garbage, explaining how the magic wore off as it often does.

"Grim: What about Billy? We never saw him again after that. But we didn't look very hard."

[edit] End Credits

Billy whistling and singing while shampooing his hair. When he stops, Billy sniffs at his fingers, and realizes that wasn't shampoo. It's dog— (He's interrupted, but dog poo is implied.)

[edit] Trivia

  • Pud'n has a stuffed Boskov doll from Evil Con Carne, only with a cracked brain helmet where Hector Con Carne should be.
  • Mandy is scared at the sight of the mummy. Most of the times, she would stand up to any scary monster she confronts. She also screams in terror for the very first time. This is made even more ironic by the fact Mandy has encountered the living dead several times before.
  • There are 3 Dinobonoids and 4 Jurassic Creeps (7 in all), but when Billy gets trapped in the box, there are only 6 holes for them.
  • When Pud'n pops out of the grass and makes a roar, this is a reference to Godzilla.This is also the first time Pud'n got angry.
  • After the secret of the Mummy is revealed, the diolgoue clearly avoids the obvious question as to how offspring came from this union.
  • The "Dinobonoids" is an obvious pun on the popular Transformers toyline and animated series. In fact one of the toylines from the Transformers were called the "Dinobots."
  • The leader of the Dinobonoids (aptly named Prof. Gaylord) wears a pink t-shirt and seems to be gay... and not in the happy way.
  • Although the title of "Toys wil be Toys" refers to Boys will be boys, the story is a parody of Toy Story and Small Soldiers.

[edit] Goofs

  • When Prof. Gaylord is eaten only his shirt appears, but somehow Billy gets his goggles and pants too.
