If the Disney Channel approached you and asked you to write a movie about mascots, but you didn't know anything about mascots, you would probably do one of two things:

1) Go away and learn about mascots, then write the movie.

2) Say "sorry, I don't know anything about mascots, I cannot write this movie".

However, there is a secret third option, and that is to write the movie anyway, despite not knowing what a mascot is, or what one does, or how people would react to it.

And friends, that's the option that we have to assume led to 2009's Hatching Pete, in which a boy named Pete inspires a basketball team, lifts the hearts of an entire town, and gets away with grand theft auto by doing normal mascotting in a normal way. But will people still love Pete when he isn't in a chicken suit? Can the Brewster Roosters finally win a game if there is a chicken breakdancing in their peripheral vision? And could Disney somehow find a way for this movie to launch the pop career of Mitchell Musso? Listen and find out!
