The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: Here Thar Be Dwarves!
Overview
As Billy walks into the woods to have a picnic, Yogi and a giant, feral version of Boo-Boo (from The Yogi Bear Show) come to steal his basket, and he escapes by hiding in a cave. Billy is taken to the mushroom lair of the dwarfs where King Beardbottom tells him the story on how the different races split the food-services industry, after the conference of Rivendell. The king sends Billy to infiltrate the elves' cookie factory to deactivate their force field, so the dwarves can assault the factory. After a fierce battle (censored out "for younger viewers", by a single clip of a pink koala continuously licking a eucalyptus leaf) and Billy's words, the elves and dwarves decide to work together and split the profits.
