[Knight of Iron she/they]

Unfortunately, down became up.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

But, strangely, up did not become down.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

And so all was up, except for the Pixar movie entitled “Up.”

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Which was "Not Up."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Pixar was not happy about this.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

So they sent an elite agent to deal with the situation.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

She intended to get to the bottom of this, but the bottom was the top, so she changed strategy to instead get to the top of this.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

She hired a animator consultant.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Whose name was, unfortunately, Lester. He had ten years of experience.

[Silva]

His experience, however, was in the field of making balloon animals.

[Szeth's Facepalm]

He had perfected the art. You try making a tiger fish out of two long balloons.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

The elite agent nearly changed her mind about consulting with him.

[Szeth's Facepalm]

But he made her a balloon giraffe, her favorite animal since childhood. She was very pleased with it.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

She hadn't gone any work done, so the Pixar CEO, John Lasseter, had to get involved.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

After a brief detour to the balloon subbookkeeper, the party got down to animating.

Flash forward one year, and "Not up 2: electric bugaloon" was released.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

They were unsure of how successful they were, as Not Up 2 still was not Up. But it made them money, so they shrugged it off.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

They used secret high-tech Pixar gadgetry to bring "Not Up 2" into reality.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

And by consequence, this brought Up Dog into existence. But no one knew what Up Dog was.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

It was actually an anagram for "Op Dug".

[NameIess]

Which was an anagram for Doug P.

[AonDoor he/him]

From that time forward, it smelled like Dog Pu at Pixar Studios.

Then along came Dreamworks.

[NameIess]

They worked on dreams.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Including nightmares.
