For decades Hollywood dispatched the Hollywood Machine to the Public Domain to mine for ideas to turn into remakes. Hidden behind a cloud, the Machine was essentially controlling the famed lawless realm by periodically appearing and siphoning up books in public domain. To the books, it was their chance to make it back into the limelight. However, Hollywood kept warping them into terrible remakes. The tired and used up books were then secretly dumped into a bog in a jungle in the Public Domain. Raven, Nana, Trigon, Hank, and Cat explored the Public Domain and watched as the Hollywood Machine selected books like Treasure Island and Little Women. Winnie-The-Pooh Book was chosen but he got stuck at the opening of the pipeline. They shoved him through but they got pulled in. To their shock, they found themselves in a horror remake of Winnie-The-Pooh set at 100 Acre Wood where Christopher Robin was an axe-wielding killer. After the climax, the Hollywood Machine deposited them in the Public Domain's jungle.
In order to stop the Hollywood Machine from warping the stories of any more books in the Public Domain, Nana had Trigon, Raven, Hank, Cat, and the Winnie-The-Pooh Book join hands and form a circle then think up an original idea for a movie or television series. They strained to come up with one. Hank stipulated it had to be an original story. Cat added it had to be an original character. Raven added it had to be an original voice. Trigon admitted this was taking some effort and mused that was why Hollywood didn't to it. Nana told everyone to think as hard as they could. There was a golden flash and an original idea was born. It looked like a horrendous creation but Hank found it beautiful. Cat grabbed it but tripped over Pinocchio. Raven spiked it but the Original Idea bounced off the Machine's pipeline. Winnie-The-Pooh Book caught it. Trigon grabbed him, spun him around, and threw him. Winnie dunked the Original Idea. It worked and the Hollywood Machine didn't know what to do with it. A chain reaction was set off and the pipeline exploded in sections. Everyone ushered the remaining books through the door back to the Azarath Metrion Bookstore. Winnie barely made it through as the Hollywood Machine exploded.
