The short film is based on Michael Jackson's hit song "Thriller" from his 1982 album of the same name. A theater troupe's "Thriller" performance goes awry when partygoers transform into zombie dancers after exposure to a mysterious ooze.

Buster Moon and his friends must persuade reclusive rock star Clay Calloway to join them for the opening of a new show.

In a city of humanoid animals, a hustling theater impresario's attempt to save his theater with a singing competition becomes grander than he anticipates even as its finalists find that their lives will never be the same.

Everyone has bad mornings. You wake up late, you stub your toe, you burn the toast...but for a man named Arthur Dent, this goes far beyond a bad day. When he learns that a friend of his is actually an alien with advanced knowledge of Earth's impending destruction, he is transported off the Earth seconds before it is exploded to make way for a new hyperspace motorway. And as if that's not enough, throw in being wanted by the police, Earth II, an insane electronic encyclopedia, no tea whatsoever, a chronically depressed robot and the search for the meaning of life, and you've got the greatest adventure off Earth.
