Seeking guidance, Danny meets Woolie, the studio's elephant mascot, who shares harsh truths about the film industry. Woolie explains that animals are often relegated to trivial roles, highlighting the challenges they face.

Determined to shine, Danny leads a performance in an alleyway, showcasing their talent and catching Darla's eye. This event marks a pivotal moment as he is invited to her mansion to discuss a press conference opportunity.

Darla’s true motives begin to surface as she plots to undermine the animal actors. She masterminds a disaster that floods Hollywood, orchestrating a blame game that puts the animals in a tough spot.

Darla confronts Danny at his home, taunting him about her triumph over the animal actors and giving him an ultimatum to return to Kokomo before it's too late. This encounter highlights the darker side of Hollywood.

Under the moonlight, Sawyer acknowledges Danny's unwavering support for their dreams. In a race against time, Sawyer catches a bus at the last moment, rallying a group to join him for a special screening of *Lil' Ark Angel*.

As the film credits roll, Danny confronts Max by cleverly deflating Darla's favorite parade balloon, redirecting the audience's attention back to him. This brave act signifies Danny's growth and determination.

Supported by his ensemble, Danny leads a passionate musical performance that captures the heart of the audience. This moment is key in showcasing their talents and proving their worth to the industry.
