The “aww” of the onlookers sell it. Well, and the cute trash pandas.
Next scene: baby raccoons popping like corn, flying from top of building
Sadly, a couple of them did not make it out, and so the chili at the firehouse will have a slightly different taste this week.
I know nothing about firefighters but those ladders look a little too regular old ladder to be set up by firefighters to me…could those have been set up by the farmer while waiting for the firefighters to arrive? I don’t see or hear any evidence of a firefighter being present in that video (hoses, water flowing, sirens or lights, firefighters, etc).
Is this where step ladders come from?
For once, vertical video is appropriate
Trash Pandas are people too.
Are the “Wonderful Creatures” the raccoons or the firefighters? Or both? Sure, both.
When reached for comment team leader Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy said “No, of course Rocket was nowhere near that barn when the fire started! Why do you ask?” A further clarification came from team spokestree Groot who said “I am Groot.”
And there you have it.
