Before superheroes were forced into hiding, Mr. Incredible and Frozone allowed an animation studio to use their images to produce the kids cartoon Mr. Incredible and Pals. A pilot episode was created, but it never saw the light of day since superheroes were forced into normal life soon afterwards. Much later, the pair watch the pilot. They are not impressed.
The pilot begins with a narrator bombastically announcing "The Adventures of Mr. Incredible and his pals Frozone and Mr. Skipperdoo!". As the short opens on a short of a bridge with a chunk taken out, Mr. Incredible and Frozone begin their commentary.
Frozone: -Frozone.
Mr. Incredible: You know, I've actually never seen this.
Frozone: Yeah, me neither.
Mr. Incredible explains how Mr. Incredible and Pals came to be, as the episode itself progresses to Cartoon Mr. Incredible and Cartoon Frozone talking about the missing bridge and the strange giant glowing screw-thing that Mr. Incredible found, with Mr. Skipperdoo contributing the occasional bounce. Frozone focuses on his cartoon self, and he's not very happy with what he sees.
Mr. Incredible What?
Frozone: I'm white. They made me a white guy?
Mr. Incredible: You're... black-ish.
Frozone: They made me a white guy!
Mr. Incredible: Well... maybe the print's faded. You're tan...ish?
Frozone: Is that supposed to be me? I sound like a-a-a-a what? A beatnik. That's it, I sound like a beatnik!
Mr. Incredible: It was meant to sound cool.
Frozone: Well it doesn't sound cool, and it doesn't sound like me. I sound cool. And if it sounded like me, it would sound cool.
Mr. Incredible: Hang on, I'm sure it gets better.
As the cartoon trio concludes that it was the work of of the fictional supervillain Lady Lightbug (who cartoon Mr. Incredible describes as "sinister, yet lovely") and move out to fix the problem, Frozone wonders if the cartoon is even animated. After all, the only thing actually moving is their lips, which look like live-action human lips and are quite out-of-place in the cartoon's style. Mr. Incredible defends it as having technically been animated. Frozone is also annoyed when the cartoon doesn't show him using ice to fix the bridge (instead focusing on him shooting a blue beam out of his hands, and then showing the completed bridge when he's done). And what's up with the rabbit?
Cartoon Mr. Incredible leads them to an abandoned amusement park that he thinks is Lady Lightbug's hideout. As the cartoon heroes search for Lady Lightbug (via Cartoon Mr. Incredible lifting up various structures and declaring that Lady Lightbug was not underneath them), Real Frozone once again questions the characters' live-action lips.
Frozone: Ooh, new process?
Mr. Incredible: A breakthrough!
Frozone: And what would that new process be, Mr. I? Cheap-O-Rama?
Mr. Incredible: This is breaking through!
Frozone: And that rabbit is getting on my last nerve!
Mr. Incredible: The rabbit is cuddly! Kids like little cuddly sidekicks!
Frozone: I mean, gah...
Mr. Incredible: The rabbit... it's a time-tested t... okay, the rabbit bites.
Meanwhile in the cartoon, Mr. Skipperdoo bounces up and down- he's found the bridge! Which was actually directly above Mr. Incredible, in plain sight.
Mr. Incredible: Don't shout-
Frozone: WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS THIS?
Mr. Incredible: Hey...you're shouting...don't shout.
Now that the bridge has been found (and Frozone is venting about how bad the cartoon is in the commentary), Lady Lightbug (a sort of human/firefly hybrid) flies out from one of the structures that Mr. Incredible lifted up earlier. She shoots 'radioactive silk' at cartoon Frozone, which glows, restrains Frozone perfectly, and appears to have no actual radioactive properties. The real Frozone is naturally upset.
Mr. Incredible: Well, a minute ago you were complaining they made you white.
Frozone: Oh, that's right- the tan superhero gets caught!
As Mr. Incredible defeats Lady Lightbug by going up on a roller coaster to get the height needed to tackle her, the real Frozone is highly upset that his image has been sullied by association with this horrid cartoon. Mr. Incredible tries to get him to calm down by pointing out that they couldn't know that it turned out this badly and it never was actually shown on TV, but Frozone is having none of it.
Mr. Incredible: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RABBIT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GOT THE RABBIT!
Frozone: WELL, SOMEBODY OKAYED THE RABBIT!
The cartoon ends as Lady Lightbug curses the heroes for imprisoning her in a giant jar over the newly-repaired and good as new bridge, though where they obtained such a jar is anyone's guess. The narrator invites the audience to watch next week's episode, which has Mr. Incredible vs. an anthropomorphic ear of corn.
Well, even if that next episode had been made, there's no way Frozone would be watching it.
