Shadow Puppets is a short that first released on May 16th, 2025.
Summary[]
The short begins with Munch's Make Believe Band (with the exception of Pasqually, who is not mentioned or seen in the short) and Ronnie on a camping trip. Helen has gone out to get firewood, Jasper is sleeping, and Chuck E., Bella, Munch are in the tent waiting for Helen. Munch complains of being bored, with the gang eventually deciding to do something fun, in order to pass the time until Helen gets back. The gang all suggest various ideas of what they could do, such as Bella suggesting they do a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, or Munch wanting to do water skiing in the tent.
Chuck E. suddenly gets an idea, with him grabbing a flashlight with the intention of playing shadow puppets. Chuck E. then teaches Munch, which gets Munch, Bella, and Ronnie excited to play, with each of the gang taking turns. Finally, it's Ronnie's turn, who is able to create a mesmerizing shadow pattern with his hoof that quickly makes Chuck E., Munch, and Bella all fall asleep.
Helen comes back in confusion to find nearly everyone minus Ronnie asleep, with Ronnie proclaiming that it's "better than counting sheep", ending the short.
