	Movies - Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is a direct-to-DVD animated film set in Family Guys fictional universe. Released on September 27, 2005, the movie is mostly about Stewie Griffin trying to find his real father. It additionally contains commentaries and deleted scenes. A completed DVD edit of the film leaked onto Usenet on July 24, 2005. A DVD-R was posted and it appeared to be a completed copy before the DVD was to be prepared, such as adding bonus features and menus. The movie is also available in UMD format for the PlayStation Portable.

A one minute scene from the beginning of the movie can be seen - no plot spoilers are included.

The film was originally conceived as three separate, consecutive episodes from the fourth season of Family Guy, which were concatenated and book ended with introductory and etiologic segments (highlighting the "premiere" of the movie). The three episodes, written by different people, are titled "Stewie B. Goode," "Bango Was His Name Oh!" and "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure."

FOX will air edited and separated versions of the three episodes sometime in spring 2006.
Plot synopsis
Forced by Peter and Lois to take swimming lessons, Stewie meets the star pupil of the class, Brad. Jealous, Stewie decides to try and outdo him in a swimming race. He nearly drowns in the process, while Brad finishes in first place. Trying to kill his nemesis, Stewie rigs a life-guard chair with dynamite and lures Brad beneath it. However, Stewie's detonator malfunctions, and he blows himself up and is crushed beneath the lifeguard chair. Stewie awakens in Hell, a red hotel room where he is greeted by Steve Allen
, who proclaims, "OK, let's do this," and begins to get undressed. Stewie is abruptly brought back to Earth by Lois, and he decides to change his ways. As it turns out, Steve Allen wanted Stewie to fix his shirt collar. Instead, Allen is forced to watch non-stop reruns of Who's the Boss?

Stewie's attempts at being a good boy mainly revolve around smothering Brian with affection, much to the latter's consternation. Brian finally goads Stewie into reverting to his old, violent ways, resurrecting Stewie's fear of Hell. Deciding to follow Brian's example of controlling anger through drunkenness, Stewie becomes an alcoholic; Brian, seeking to cure Stewie, takes him out for a night of drinking at the Drunken Clam, which culminates in the two ramming a car through the wall of the bar. The next morning, Stewie wakes up naked in his crib with Roger Moore
's name tattooed across his stomach. Stewie laments to Brian his lonely existence in the world, and wishes that there were someone else to whom he could relate. Later, while watching television, Brian and Stewie see a man in the street interview with a San Francisco man who looks and sounds exactly like Stewie. Stewie decides that this is his real father, and resolves to travel to San Francisco to meet with him.

Learning that Quagmire is going on a "Cross Cuntry" trip through all fifty states with the intent of having sex with a woman in every state, Brian and Stewie hitch a ride in his "Wanna-bang-o". At a motel, Quagmire is handcuffed to a bed and mugged by a cleaning woman; Stewie finds Quagmire, and rather than free him, steals Quagmire's car keys and absconds with the Winnebago. At a truck stop, Stewie obtains amphetamines, takes them, and ends up crashing the Winnebago in the desert. He considers giving up, but Brian encourages him to see his quest through to the end.

Arriving in California, Stewie and Brian track down the man from the television. Stewie confronts the man on a trolley, and is shocked to discover that the man is actually Stewie from thirty-four years in the future. "Stu," as he is called, is taking a time-travel vacation, which is how people in the future take time off. Stu activates a time-travel device to go back to his own time and prevent Stewie from learning information he shouldn't know, but Stewie grabs onto Stu at the last minute and is transported to the future with him. (In the future, Stu refers to the younger Stewie as a child named "Pablo" from Nicaragua while around other people before Lois figures out who "Pablo" really is.) Here, Stewie learns his horrible fate: at age 35, he will be a virgin working for the Quahog Circuit Shack (a Circuit City-type store) and living in a low-rent condo. Furthermore, he is a doting mamma's boy, having long ago abandoned his matricidal tendencies. At a family dinner, Stewie discovers that Chris will become a traffic cop and marry a hateful, foul-mouthed hustler named Vanessa; Meg will transition from female to male after college and lives as a transsexual man named Ron; and Brian will die of eating chocolate he found in the garbage, go to Heaven, and spend eternity drinking with Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, and Kurt Cobain. Disgusted with the way his life will turn out, Stewie remodels Stu's apartment and coaches him through The Joy of Sex with the intent of getting Stu to lose his virginity to one of his co-workers. Stu and the co-worker end up in bed, but Stu climaxes after eight seconds and then spends forty minutes crying. The woman goes back to Circuit Shack and tells everyone, costing Stu his job.
