Actually this is the last movie, but not the last episode. The last one is a normal 20 minute episode and it's called "Goodbye to Bloo"

Found this summary on Wikipedia earlier:

Frankie dissapears and its up to Mac and friends to save her.

Given that this is from Wikipedia it's accuracy is questionable but I really hope the movie isn't going to use Frankie as a stereotypical "damsel in distress", as was done far too often with Daphne on Scooby-Doo. It's tiresome, cliched, and would personally be a little hard to take.

There are commercials airing on Cartoon Network and that episode summary is more-or-less accurate, but I have only seen the shortened version of the commercial and I’ve heard that the normal version provides more information.

The commercials have started, then? Time to fire up the DVR.

The smaller commercial is part of the larger commercial advertising Cartoon Network’s Thanksgiving programming. That’s the only one that I’ve seen. However, other fans have seen a stand-alone commercial that provides more information. Also, Cartoon Network Video is going to have interviews with the Foster’s crew all next week, before the special, and they might put the commercial on there as well. We’ll have to wait until Monday in order to find out.

Funny that they mention Mac first, then "his friends"...I myself would've just liked "the Foster's gang", because then there's no clear main character (since the show itself has so many characters that most of which had their own focus on, it's not clear, but I don't mind that)...

SAVING Frankie? What? Oh, so are they assuming that Frankie can't save herself, or that this "strange imaginary world" is holding her hostage or something?

I liked the original "plot" they gave us, even if it says "Mac and Bloo an the Foster's gang", which makes me speculate that MAC AND BLOO aren't part of the Foster's gang at all....

Unfortunately, they wouldn't be the first show that did something along those lines with their female lead.

That's the one I'm aiming for. The interviews sound excellent; I look forward to seeing them. Hopefully they'll have some of them, and a preview, on their site's video section.

Is it in the character of Craig and Co. to put Frankie in a "damsel in distress" situation? I dunno, what I'm expecting is Frankie to be "sucked" into this Imaginationland, and sure, at first she doesn't know what to do or think and may be a bit worried (I know I'd be). But she'd figure things out and probably play the game by doing quests or something in order to find her way out. And I imagine for the most part she's enjoying herself while at it. She's neither hoping for or expecting for anyone to come "rescue" her. It's the rest of the Foster's gang who find out what happened that freak out and they want to do whatever it takes to help. I also kind of expect an surprising twist near the end, which will no doubt be fun and exciting. We may be learning fast not to trust CN, but I'm confident we can still trust Craig and Co. in not to disappoint the fans. They recognize the fact that they have fans of all ages.

Most likely, given the sense of humor of the writers, Frankie is in no actual danger at all, but is probably doing something mundane like cleaning out an old cedar chest, and Mac, Bloo and rest, a la "Make Believe It Or Not", turn that situation into an adventure(Wilt probably gets reluctantly dragged into this one, just like in "MBION"). I don't want to see another helpless Frankie-as-damsel-in-distress(as in "TLP")again myself, since it's totally OOC for her.
