Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue is a truly bizarre 1990 PSA TV special starring a ton of famous cartoon characters helping a kid say no to drugs. It features a very odd musical number called "Wonderful Ways to Say No".

Here are 53 artists from around the industry re-animating this song sequence.

HUGE thanks to the amazing animators who brought this crazy drug trip to life!

Wonderful Ways to Say No - Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue

Here's "Wonderful Ways to Say No" from the multi-network drug-abuse prevention animated special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. With music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman, the song was written by the duo at the request of Roy E. Disney, producer of the special.

On his official website, Alan says of the song, "Back in the late 60's I would not have been the poster boy for this cause, but when we were asked to write ‘Wonderful Ways to Say No’ how could we say ‘no’?”

The special chronicles the exploits of Michael, a teenager who is using marijuana and stealing his father's beer. His younger sister, Corey, is worried about him because he started acting differently. When her piggy bank goes missing, her cartoon tie-in toys come to life to help her find it. After discovering it in Michael's room along with his stash of drugs, the various cartoon characters proceed to work together and take him on a fantasy journey to teach him the risks and consequences a life of drug use can bring.
