    As a kid I was raise and told how bad drugs and alcohol are bad for you and this video is part of the reason I avoid Drugs and never join the club.I remember renting Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue as a kid a few times and seeing it on TV.It is pretty cool how all these animation studios and networks actually join forces to help created this Public Service Announcement video feature your favorite cartoon characters plus some of my favorite cartoons were apart of this program.Alf from "ALF: The Animated Series" Alvin, Simon Theodore from "Alvin and the Chipmunks" Huey, Dewey, and Louie from "Ducktales" Garfield from "Garfield and friends" Bugs Bunny and Daffy from "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies" Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, Baby Gonzo "Muppet Babies" Winnie the Pooh and Tigger from "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" Slimer from "The Real Ghostbusters" Papa Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf from "The Smurfs" Michelangelo from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" It's not too often you ever seen a crossover like this and from many different TV series which were very huge at the time. Growing up with these shows this special has that nostalgia feel to it. Each character does their part in this special and make it special to see a crossover with a message to stay drug free.The plot does it very well and gives each character their own right to shine the voice acting works very well and there are some moments of humor to lighten the mood but keeping it message in the plot along with the animation being impressive and why I love hand drawn cartoons. Just take the time to show it off you might be surprise and it will inspire you to stay away from drugsI give Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue an 9 out of 10

    Part 1: Hello. I'm Christopher and this is Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. As we watch this program, we learn about the story of Michael, who goes through the first part summarizing his drug addiction. Corey, his younger sister, is starting to be concerned about him. Your favorite characters like Winnie the Pooh, Garfield, Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smiler, ALF and Baby Kermit, will teach him the disadvantages of taking drugs.Part 2: This next part features Michael, with his friends, doing drugs. However, this creates a manipulating villain named Smoke, who tempts him to keep his drug business. Later, Bugs Bunny, also helps Michael refresh his memory by going two years back in time when he started drugs. Meanwhile, Corey gets help from Winnie the Pooh to convince her to talk to Michael.Part 3: Getting advice from her dad, Corey tries to find a way to convince Michael into quitting. In other words, we see Michael continuing to do drugs with his friends. When his wallet was stolen, Michael fails to retrieve it when Michaelangelo and the Muppet Babies takes him and Smoke on a journey through the course of his body.Part 4: Huey, Duey and Louie, who meet Michael, ask why is he taking drugs. In result, all of the cartoon characters sing to Michael about not one, but millions of ways to say no before Michael wakes up. When Corey comes in to ask, he threatens to hurt her, if she tells their parents about this. Changing his mind, too late, ALF then shows him his future after this and reveals the man in charge of his life.Part 5: (I hate that smoke cloud.) Anyway, the fifth and final part of this program researches about Corey, being manipulated by Smoke who tempts her to use Michael 's drugs. While Michael is stranded in his imagination, he gets advice from Daffy Duck that his future will be much worse if he uses too much. Finally, Michael has done the most glorious thing he'd ever done with help: Quit.Review: Loved every minute except Smoke's scenes and Michael's horrible future near the end.

    A truly impressive collection of characters. I remember seeing this long ago when I was a child. Now that I'm older I understand what a big deal it was that sooo many celebrities came together to allow a lot of the biggest animated characters to do this show. It should be shown again.

    Hilarious video depicting a young boy who's using drugs and turning for the worse. Quite cute in the parts where it shows him stealing his baby sisters piggy bank to get money for some pot. Other scenes that stick out in my mind include seeing his future looking like some guy from Night of the Living Dead. As you would expect, complete and utter propaganda, however, it's one of the funniest films I've ever seen.
