He just has to do community service, and expect it to be expunged from his record in two months, but the big parks in the area all do background checks.
The second day on the job, before starting work, Jerry and Tucker watch news but ignore mention of a string of daring daylight robberies where the perpetrators are "elaborately disguised."
Jerry has to go off to advertise for the park before it opens and relieve Sam, who comes to the break room dressed as Billy the Bulldog.
He was a professional basketball player that got injured, then became the team's mascot, then was poached by Disney to play one of their tall characters, and then retired from that to start his own delivery business, likely selling drugs.
A few days later at Old Time Fun Town, the park employees practice for a Fourth of July parade.
He finds that the house is a haven for retired people with various health and mental problems who cannot live independently.
Sam tells Tucker she got accepted into an adult-gerontological nurse practitioner program in Los Angeles.
Tucker has to cover for Stu for an offsite event at a private party that specifically requested the bird and polar bear costumes.
They agree to help, and suggest using a large variety of construction supplies and old props that Old Time Fun Town has had in storage for decades.
Tucker and Jerry also find the original head of Hoppy, and backup costumes for the rest of the characters, including Paws the Polar Bear.
The park operations employees approach Tucker, Jerry, and Sam to restrain them, but George the Janitor arrives and beats them back.
After the summer is over, Stu starts a furry cosplay costume company and brings on Tucker's parents as sales agents.
Jerry gets a promotion to director of entertainment at the park and the next summer creates a hit musical on Fletcher's old stage.
Two people chose the top level of benefit and paid $10,000 to become executive producers of the film, with David P. Pragg getting top billing in the movie's credits under Indiegogo contributors, followed by Jack Stiefel, Jean Labadie, Matthew J. Durfee, and Gregory Thies.
As many of the actors worked for little pay or as free extras, the lion's share of the film's modest budget went toward catering.
[2] The film is completely live action, with animation overlay in some scenes provided by Jeffrey James and Huhu Studios in New Zealand and Shanghai.
Director Jon Binkowski said “We wanted the animation to that would make the kid’s talent show through, but a little amateurish because he [the character Tucker] didn’t have the tools yet.
The movie was co-created by Lisa Enos Smith and Jon Binkowski, who are business partners for Renaissance Entertainment, LLC.
So, yeah, Lisa and I tapped into a lot of that with the script.”[2] In the film, Tucker is a big fan of the band The Moody Blues.
It’s got some great laughs, some solid performances and a heart that will make any theme park fan swoon.
