** AdaptationExpansion: In a horrible review of it in the CharacterBlog [[http://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/83666095070/i-saw-dogcopter-3-in-3d-tonight-and-all-i-have-to Keep Beach City Weird,]] Ronaldo points out that it's completely unnecessary for the last Dogcopter book to be split into three movies.

* ChekhovsSkill

* WalkOnWater: Turns out Lion can do this.

** Steven once again unintentionally conjures the bubble shield to protect Connie, as first seen in "Bubble Buddies".

* ChekhovSkills

The trio then get to go into the movie and enjoy it. Connie comments that they took some liberties transcribing from the book. The IrisOut focuses on Lion (who is also wearing 3D glasses, in a silent {{Homage}} to the MGMStudio lion.

The episode begins with the trailer for [[ShowWithinAShow Dogcopter 3 in 3D]], a movie about a dog who's a helicopter and a cop, and who fires missiles out of his butt. Connie and Steven are looking forward to seeing it, and show the Gems the trailer on Connie's phone. Amethyst teases the pair by turning into a duplicate of Dogcopter and tries to nick Steven and Connie's movie snacks (because Connie's parents don't allow her to eat food from the theater concessions). When Connie asks how they plan to get to the movie theater, Steven introduces her to his pet lion, Lion. Connie is amazed, but saddened that the most interesting thing that ever happens to her is tennis practice.

Steven and Connie look around curiously and the place turns out to be something like a Batcave. It is full of weapons and souvenirs. Lion puts Steven's hand on a pillar to activate the place, but once he touches it, they can't get him loose! It also has voice-activated training equipment which responds to Steven's voice. The pair have fun playing with the voice and gesture commands until Steven remarks, "I just want to see a whole bunch of explosions!" in reference to getting to the movie. The training [=AI=] takes it as a command and begins chasing the two children.

When Steven calls him to help, Lion opens another portal back to Earth, in front of the movie theater. They have a moment to catch their breath, but Connie is upset that they're going to a movie. She says she doesn't understand why Steven, who obviously has a magical destiny, hangs out with her. Steven is about to try to explain, but the training device followed them back, still firing. Steven asks Lion for help. Lion produces a sword from his forehead for Steven to use. With Connie's help, the two of them deflect the fire back on the device and destroy it.
