Plot
As Tony Award winning Broadway Star and Pioneer, D.B. Sweeney retires from Theater to continue his Careers in Animation and Puppeteering, Captain James Hook, the Captain of the Deserted Pirate Ship, is seeking new attractions for his failing Restaurant (It's going nowhere by Jerry Herman). He sends his clumsy henchmen, the "Whangdoodles", to capture the Disney Characters, who reside deep below the surface of the Earth.

Terry the Blubber and the gang retaliate by challenging the Whangdoodles to a Theater Competition, since they are not medium sized. To prepare for the Competition, the Whangdoodles return to Earth and steal the Talent of Michael Crawford, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Gunton, Michael Gruber, John Patridge, Harvey Fierstein, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick and John Lithgow by forcing their way into the Performers' Bodies and stealing their Talent (Get the Talent off their Bodies right now by The Sherman Brothers). The Whangdoodles use the stolen Talent to become the "Diesels" (or "Rusties"), Creatures the same size as Terry and the Characters that they're both unable to beat by themselves (We're the Diesels by [Andrew Lloyd Webber]]). To aid them, the Characters recruit a reluctant Sweeney, his Wormy, Rotund by Perfessional Leading Broadway Clown and Publicist Stan Podolak, his Crazy Cousin Doyle Sweeney, his Longtime Puppeteers, Jim Henson and Frank Oz, Laurel and Hardy and Slapstick Comedian Oliver Bagwell.

Soon after, the Broadway Competition between the Steamies and the Diesels begins doing Theater Productions (Plays and Musicals), the Disney Charcters are almost roughed up by the Tough Performing style of the Diesels. Broadway and West End Star, Biran d'Arcy James, being friends with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, enters the Disney World and join their Team, averting forfeiture.

By the Climax of the Contest, the Steamies are up to 900, and it is up to Sweeney and the Characters to score the final point for his Team up the 2000. Using his Perfessional Singing and Dancing, supplemented by the power of Broadway, Daniel Bernard Sweeney manages to finish the Musical, Starlight Express and win the Competition (I am the Starlight by Andrew Lloyd Webber from Starlight Express). Afterwards, the Characters return Sweeney back to Earth, where he returns his stolen talent back to their respective Owners. He is later prompted by his Friends to return to Theater, mirroring his real-life comback.
