==="Speed Demon"=== The fourth segment begins with the "Badder" short film transitioning into the second short film, "Speed Demon", produced by [[Claymation]] innovator [[Will Vinton]]. A portion of the clip is set to Jackson's song "[[Speed Demon (song)|Speed Demon]]". After filming "Badder", Little Michael and his bodyguards (also young kids) are leaving the set and walk through a cloud of smoke and come out as their regular adult age. As he exits the set, he is spotted by tourists and they suddenly begin to chase him for an autograph. In an attempt to avoid the overzealous fans and the interviewers (including camera-happy Japanese tourists accompanied by stereotyped "Oriental" music, the press, and even [[The Noid]]) plus some [[Gunfighter|gunslingers]] (after stumbling upon the filming of a [[Western (genre)|Western]] helmed by a director resembling [[Steven Spielberg]]), Jackson soon disguises himself as a rabbit named Spike, using a costume from one of the film sets (imbued with [[Animatronics|animatronic]] properties using Claymation, giving a similar combined-media effect as ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'', but with more obvious bluescreening). Michael taunts the fans into chasing him, once they realize it is him. Michael steals a bicycle which then turns into a motorcycle once he hits the highway in order to flee, with the fans and the [[paparazzi]] (now also appearing in Claymation form) giving chase in various other, more cartoonish vehicles. During the chase, he morphs into other celebrities, namely [[Sylvester Stallone]], [[Tina Turner]] and [[Pee-wee Herman]], with the bike also briefly morphing (into a jackhammer, stop sign, waterski, and jet pack) in repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to throw the fans off. After a long chase, the fans/press are finally thwarted by crashing into a giant (Claymation) cop and are arrested. Jackson finally then manages to escape and rides off to a [[desert]]. He takes off his rabbit costume and it then suddenly comes to [[Anthropomorphism|life]] and challenges him to an extended dance-off. In the end, a passing traffic cop interrupts Jackson to point out he is in a "No Dancing Zone", and when Michael turns to show him that he was competing with the rabbit, he sees that the rabbit has disappeared. The cop then sarcastically asks for Jackson's autograph (as opposed to "signature") on the ticket. Just as Jackson is preparing to leave, the rabbit's head materializes on a nearby rocky crag, which then nods to him and smiles.
