Get Animated is an American live action/animated musical fantasy comedy film (which also contains some black comedy and comedy-drama material) directed by Chris Columbus and produced and written by Drew Gars, and it stars Kristen Wigg, Adam Scott and Jessica Chastain.

It is the first live-action feature-length film starring all the Cartoon Network characters.

Plot
In a cold opening, Mandy (DeLisle) walks on to the screen and tells the audience that he feels sorry for all the parents who were dragged into see this and that the movie is a musical, but the writers were too lazy to come up with any original songs, so they borrowed some songs from other music artists and then Mandy walks away the studio logos appear.

The film begins at the 1970s, 16 year old Carrie Toon was walking to school with her little sister Nettie. Carrie is failing art class and has to make up for it. During lunch, she witnesses Nettie being bullied by the popular girls, led by Shae Leonard. Carrie steps up for Nettie by making Shae fall into the trash can. Carrie gets detention for harassment and has to spend her Saturday detention at working on an art project if she wants to pass the class.

At Saturday detention, she is the only one there. While she's there, obviously bored, she looks out the window and wishes that she can escape her old life and venture into a new one where everyone loves her, sure her family does, but it's not enough (One Day I'll Fly Away). As she wonders what to do, she finishes her project. But when her father, Jonathan (Simmons), walked in, he's shocked that she finished her work. Impressed, he tells Carrie that he's proud and that she has a bright future ahead of her, much to her delight.

As the years ago by...

In the Present Day, at a large, dimly lit space in a warehouse, Jacob Arbogast (Beacon), the CEO of Cartoon Network, has been called on by a secret international cabal of animators led by a mysterious figure. The figure is disturbed because Carrie Toon has still not been found since she was kicked out of the network back in 2007. Arbogast wonders why bother her again since once she was thrown out, the figure got what he wanted: The Network destroyed by a mass produce of poor content. The figure direct Arbogast to try to find her because if she resurfaces, she's gonna find out the "real" reason why she was kicked out. Arbogast agrees, but ask what to do with her once she's found, the figure instructs him to wipe her memory of who she is, permanently.

Cut to Monday morning, Jack Morton (Scott) is heading to work on his first day as an executive at Cartoon Network (Great Day). He walked to Arbogast who's talking to his lawyer Danny Dollar (Bennett) about Cartoon Network. Jack walk in and introduce himself to Abrogast, Abrogast greet and welcome him kindly to the Cartoon Network Studio Family (My House). He's planning to have an upcoming gala to celebrate the yearly anniversary of Cartoon Network with celebrities invites.

...

When he gets home, Jack notices that his niece Hayley (List) at the doorstep with his sister, Emily, (Hahn) who's telling him that Hayley's staying for the summer, much to Jack irritation. Emily leaves and Jack doesn't know what to do with Hayley.

I call the shots (call the shots)

I'm like a firecracker

When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins

Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break

I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage

Better be ready, hope ya feel the same

All the eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip

Just like a circus

Don't stand there watching me, follow me

Show me what you can do

Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor

Just like a circus There's only two types of guys out there,

Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared

So baby I hope that you came prepared

I run a tight ship so, beware

I'm like the ringleader

I call the shots

I'm like a firecracker

I make it hot

When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins

Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break

I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage

Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same

All the eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip

And the bed where you lie

Is made up on your side

When you walked away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

And make it OK

I miss you


 * Carrie (singing):

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do reminds me of you


 * Nettie (singing):

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you,

I love the things that you do

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear will always get me through the day

And make it OK

I miss you...
 * Carrie: You really mean it?
 * Nettie: Yes! Yes, I do.

Want to vanish inside your kiss

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change, winter to spring

But I love you until the end of time

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day


 * Nettie (singing):

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
 * Jack, Carrie and Nettie (singing):

It all revolves around you
 * Nettie (singing):

And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather

And stars may collide

But I love you

Until the end of time
