Pooh's Adventures of Freddie as F.R.O.7 is another upcoming new movie by Daniel Esposito and Shadow101815. It will appear on Odysee, Rumble, or Archive.org in the near future.
Plot
The tale begins in the Middle Ages at Monaco, Monte Carlo, France. It tells of Prince Frederic, who is a 10-year-old boy who lives with his father the king in a huge castle by the ocean at Monaco, and is taught magical powers. His mother, the queen, has been dead for over a year, drowned at sea in a storm. One day, while the two are out horse riding in the forest, Frederic loses his father who is thrown to his death from a great height (6 ft) after his mount is spooked by a strange red cobra. Frederic watches it slither away; he had never seen one of those in the forest before. Now an orphan, Frederic is taken in by his paternal aunt, Messina (Billie Whitelaw), who, as the king's sister, accedes to the throne, but only as regent (until her nephew comes of age to assume responsibility as the next ruler). Soon Frederic realizes that the cobra he saw in the forest was Messina (also responsible for conjuring up the storm that took the life of his mother) and rather than killing the young prince, she transformed him into a frog and tries to capture him. Soon, both fall from the castle window and into the raging ocean, and Frederic is saved in the jaws of a giant sea monster. The power-hungry Messina vows to rule the world and destroy Frederic. The monster really turns out to be Nessie (Phyllis Logan).
As Messina departs, Nessie's tail becomes trapped under a boulder. She befriends Frederic, who in turn uses his powers to free her tail from the boulder. Nessie takes him to dry land, and notes that if Frederic ever needs her, he could just whistle. Frederic then leaps into the night sky, jumping through time zones until the late 20th century and lands in a swamp full of frogs, where he would spend the rest of his childhood in his new life as Freddie the Frog until he meets Winnie the Pooh, Ash Ketchum, Simba, Twilight Sparkle, and their friends.
Freddie eventually grows up to become a member of the French secret service, known as F.R.O.7. along with Pooh and the others as part of an international spy team of the rebel alliance and also has an anthropomorphic car (the reason for which is never explained). They are then called to London, England by the British Secret Service, as some major famous buildings in the United Kingdom are vanishing. By the time Freddie and our heroes arrives, Nelson's Column, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, St. Pauls Cathedral, and Stonehenge are already missing. Freddie and the others meets the Brigadier G (Nigel Hawthorne). Freddie and the gang are also introduced to Agent Daphne Fortescue a.k.a. Daffers (Jenny Agutter), an Englishwoman who is an expert in martial arts, and Scotty, a Scotsman who is an expert with weapons. Things take a turn for the worse as Canterbury Cathedral disappears. Freddie also meets Trilby, a sneaky member of the secret service.
During a trip to Ascot, Freddie and the others discovers that the villain capturing the buildings is called El Supremo (Brian Blessed), and he's working alongside Messina, who spends most of the time in her cobra form with extra help of King Ghidorah, Morgana, Scar, The Super Evil Subspace Empire Squad (excluding Newman, Lavernia, & Stevearino), Dr. Facilier, Team Rocket, Hunter J, The Grand Duke of Owls, Hunch, Rothbart, and the Crime Empire. Freddie also learns that El Supremo and the villains are planning to steal Big Ben next. Knowing Daffers and Scotty would not want to be taken, Freddie tells them the next target is Windsor Castle and they hide on Big Ben - and are promptly captured by a giant robotic snake. They go to a secret island in Scotland and discover that El Supremo plans to use the buildings by shrinking them to a size of a trophy and using them as batteries to a giant crystal, which will send a powerful sleeping virus across the world (starting with the UK), which will put people to sleep, allowing him to invade and enslave them. Scotty then freaks out as the last required building is captured: Edinburgh Castle as part of the villains' plots.
Freddie and Scotty are thrown into a pool of sea monsters, while Daffers is taken to be brainwashed into a mindless follower and slave of El Supremo and Messina. El Supremo uses the crystal to send his sleeping virus all across Great Britain and the whole country shuts down. Freddie whistles and Nessie appears to save them both from being devoured, and Scotty is saved from drowning. Nessie shows her family to Freddie, who then asks them to help defeat El Supremo by submerging the patrolling submarines. Freddie and Scotty save Daffers from the snake guards in disguise and the three return to stop El Supremo from conquering the world. They have to battle an army of soldiers, but in the process, Daffers and Scotty come too close to the crystal's energy and fall unconscious. Freddie manages to infiltrate the crystal's energy with his mind powers and destroys it, but also falls unconscious. El Supremo and Messina (who are preparing to attack their next target - The United States) arrive to kill Freddie, but he, Daffers and Scotty defeat El Supremo by shrinking him down to an ant's size and trapping him in a matchbox. Pooh, Ash, Simba, and thier friends started to fight their enemies. Timon defeats Rothbart by shooting an arrow at him. Pumbaa blasted off Team Rocket.
A final battle then ensues between Freddie and Messina, who attacks by shape-shifting consecutively into a bat, hyena, scorpion, and boa. As Messina begins to crush Freddie in her boa form, Freddie remembers comforting words from his late father and finds the strength to escape and toss Messina into an electrical pole, where she is electrocuted (she survived in the original version and flies away, vowing revenge against Freddie). Brigadier G and his team arrive in time, and Trilby is discovered to be a spy for the villains. Britain is restored to normal and Freddie heads off to deal with some bad guys in the United States.

- BrerJake90 originally planned to co-direct this film with Daniel Esposito, but he retired from making anymore Pooh's Adventures films. R.A. was also to co-direct this film with Daniel, but he has also been retired from making films, so Shadow101815 stepped in.

- This film features the first debut of Serena from Pokémon: XY/XYZ series and Hunter J from Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl series.
- In this film, the Grand Duke of Owls will reveal to Pooh and his friends that Morgana is now his wife. In fact, Yakko Warner thought of this idea back in 2010 because before TtarkasaurousRex2 had left for collage, he told Yakko that he plans to use Morgana as the Grand Duke of Owls' wife and also because in the original version of Pooh's Adventures of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, after Morgana says "All hail Queen Morgana", the Grand Duke of Owl says "And King Grand Duke".
- Despite the Grand Duke of Owls guest starring in this film and Morgana returning in this film, they will soon be members of Yakko's Pooh's Adventures villains team called The Super Evil Subspace Empire Squad in Pooh's Adventures of Cyberchase.
- Pooh and his friends will face the Grand Duke of Owls and Morgana again in Pooh's Adventures of Cyberchase.
