However, it sets off in an entirely different direction from the second film. Junior is a preteen and is infatuated with a girl named Tiffany. However, she does not notice him. Things take a mischievous turn when he finds out there are three other boys interested in her as well. In this installment, he is portrayed by Justin Chapman and Ben is portrayed by William Katt. Neither Annie (Amy Yasbeck) nor Trixie (Ivyann Schwan) appear in it, nor are they mentioned. Gilbert Gottfried and Jack Warden are the only cast members to appear in all three films (with Gottfried being the only one appearing in the films and the animated series). It neither explains how Big Ben is still rich, since his apparent new wife, LaWanda Dumore, is never mentioned, nor how Mr. Peabody went from being a school principal to a dentist.
