Transcript:
Petey: Mom, hurry up! I'm going to miss the first day of Cartoon Camp! Mom: calm down, Petey. We're almost there. Mom: It's in the same room as last year. Feel better? Petey: Gah! But he's not Mr. Spinnerack! Man: And you must be Pete!
Poor, dear Petey! He actually enjoyed cartoon camp last summer (!) and was looking forward to it this summer(!!), but now it’s not directed by his favorite Mr Spinnerack….

Is there a problem with Mister Spinnerack? (Sounds like Pokémon of the second-generation games Gold/Silver/Crystal versions Spinarak.)

It’s the Cartooniverse Petey. You get to live the same year over and over again, but you have to do it in different ways.
