[Benjamin]
The Tale of The Great Potato Plunder.

[exclaims]

[gasps]

[Benjamin] Peter.

Anyone for radishes?

-Nice one, Peter.
-[grunts]

Not bad.

What did you two get?

Runner beans.

I got a big bunch of carrots.

So, uh, where are they?

Oh, um, I sort of ate them all. Sorry.

[burps] Excuse me.

[both giggle]

-Aw.
-Careful, Lily. I’m a little full.

Is it just me,

or do you sometimes wish
raiding Mr. McGregor’s garden was,

I don’t know… harder?

Nope.

Next question.

It’s not always this easy, Peter.

I know, but wouldn’t it be great

to have an even bigger challenge?

-Something huge.
-[gasps]

-[Mr. McGregor whistling]
-[all gasp]

-[Benjamin gasps]
-[Mr. McGregor grunts]

-[Peter] Potatoes.
-[Benjamin] Come on.

That reminds me of something
I’ve seen before.

Um, that’s great. Can we talk about it
when we’re safe at home?

Come on, Peter.

[Peter] Here it is.

I knew I'd seen it before.

Saw what, Peter?

Mr. McGregor’s wheelbarrow
full of potatoes.

It’s all here in my dad’s journal.

Just-in-case-pocket.

-Oh.
-Just in case.

[Lily] Hmm.

What do you think it all means?

I don’t know.

But I know someone who might.

Let’s hop to it.

Wheelbarrow? Uh, potatoes?

-No, doesn’t ring any bells I’m afraid.
-[all exclaim]

-[grunts] No!
-[Benjamin exclaims] Dad!

[both exclaim]

[Mr. Bouncer grunts]

[Peter grunts]

[both sigh]

Thanks, Peter.

Phew.

But we found all these pictures,

Uncle Bouncer. It must mean something.

Hmm.

Well, I never…

Yes, I remember now.

What you have here is your father’s plans
for his greatest raid ever.

Once a year Mr. McGregor
wheels his entire potato crop

through the woods to the market,

and your father,
being the bravest rabbit in the woods,

tried to grab all of them.

He called it the Great Potato Plunder.

[laughs]

[all scream]

[grunts]

Get back.

It’s time I taught this bed who’s boss.

[grunts]

Now, you run along.

Now, I'll be fine.

[screams]

-[all giggle]
-Stop that.

[Mr. Bouncer] Bad bed. Bad.

-What now?
-We go shopping for a new bed?

No, we’re going to pull off
my dad’s greatest ever raid…

The Great Potato Plunder.

[Peter] Here’s the plan…

Let’s pretend this is Mr. McGregor

and this is his wheelbarrow
full of potatoes.

When he takes the shortcut
here through the ravine,

that’s when we block his way
with the big rock.

Then, we trick Mr. McGregor.

Meow. Meow.

[imitates Mr. McGregor] Oi, what's that?

My kitty cat must be lost in the woods.

Here kitty, kitty.

[in normal voice] So, Mr. McGregor
follows the sound

into the woods

and then we empty the wheelbarrow
and make off with the potatoes.

[Lily] Florence.

Any questions?

Would you like me
to finish coloring the map?

I missed a bush there.

Any questions about the raid?

-Um…
-Yes, Lily?

What’s he doing here?

[grunting]

You’re finished with this, right?

I asked Nutkin to come.

We need all the help we can get.

This is going to be the biggest raid
we’ve ever done.

So, if there's no more questions--

Oh, oh, I’ve thought of one.

It’s a teensy-tinsy-itty-bitty-ickle one.

Yes, Nutkin?

What exactly is a po-ta-to?

Uh, this might be tougher than I thought.

-[Cat purrs]
-No, you don’t, Cat.

You know you always get lost
when you go out in the woods.

You stay here.

-[Cat purrs]
-[whistles]

[Mr. McGregor] ♪ Off to the market
We go, go, go ♪

♪ To sell all the potatoes
We grow, grow, grow… ♪

Here he comes.

[yelling in different animal voices]

What a curious call.

Did you hear the signal?

Hard not to. What kind of bird
was that supposed to be anyway?

No idea. I heard it in a dream.

-[Mr. McGregor humming]
-Yes. Get down.

♪ Off to the market we go, go, go ♪

And go, Benjamin.

[grunts]

Come on, Benjamin.

Would it help if I did my bird call again?

No. Benjamin.

Now.

Hi-ya! [exclaims]

[Mr. McGregor exclaims]

-Whoa!
-[both gasp]

[Mr. McGregor sighs]

[Benjamin grunting]

[Peter sighs] And now Lily’s turn.

[Lily] Meow. Meow.

Meow.

Psst. Louder. Louder.

I just thought it should be realistic,
you know,

because cats are actually
very quiet animals.

I know that for a fact.

They never really meow very loudly
unless startled or…

Louder, please.

Perfect.

-Meow. Meow.
-[grunts]

That silly cat must’ve followed me.

Where have you got to, Cat?

You know you always get lost out here.

Meow.

Meow.

Meow.

This is it, Nutkin. We’re on.

-Time to…
-[snores]

Are you napping?

[yelling]

-Nutkin.
-[muffled yells]

Yeah! We did it.

-[exclaims]
-Yes.

All thanks to the journal. Good old dad.

[laughs]

Po-ta-to.

Have you ever noticed
how any word sounds weird

if you say it slowly enough?

[in slow motion] Po-ta-to.

Whatever you say, Nutkin.

[all giggle]

[laughs]

-[sighs]
-[all gasp]

Please, don’t stop on my account.

I’m more than happy to have a few potatoes

with my rabbit.

-[exclaims]
-I don't remember

this part of the plan, Peter.

-Me neither. Run!
-[exclaims]

♪ Run, rabbit, run ♪

♪ Run like you've never run before ♪

-[both exclaim]
-[laughs]

♪ Run, rabbit, run ♪

♪ If he catches you, you're done,
So run some more ♪

Yeah.

♪ Your heart is pounding ♪

-♪ Those feet are sounding ♪
-[yells]

♪ So close to you ♪

-[grunts]
-♪ What can you do? ♪

♪ Oh, rabbit, run! ♪

♪ You better run! ♪

-[exclaims]
-♪ I think I hear him catching up to you ♪

[grunts]

Meow.

Meow.

[Mr. McGregor] Come back here.

Meow.

[grunts and gasps]

Uh-oh.

[Mr. McGregor] Mmm, Cat must’ve found
her own way home.

-[both squealing]
-Now, if you’ve had quite enough fun,

I’d rather like

to have my lunch.

-Now, where did I leave those potatoes?
-Hmm.

Mr. Tod…

Catch. Come on.

[gasps]

Oh, thanks.

-[Mr. McGregor] Oi?
-[gasps]

-Fox.
-[exclaims]

Get your paws off my potatoes.

-Yes!
-[laughs]

[Benjamin] Oh, no!

Look at the wagon.

Are you okay? Oh…

I can fix it,

but not before Mr. McGregor comes back.

Oh, and I’m happy none of you were caught

-or eaten by the way.
-[grunts]

Oh, well…

-Oh.
-…time to go.

-No way. A good rabbit never gives up.
-[giggles]

We can still pull off

-the Great Potato Plunder.
-Hmm.

We just need some extra squirrel power.

Leave it to me.

Squirrel Tribe, assemble!

I said assemble.

Ahem, squirrels.

-Yeah, that never works.
-I've got this.

-[whistles]
-[exclaims]

-[squirrels chattering]
-So, what did you have in mind?

[squirrels chattering]

Squirrels… forward!

[all exclaiming]

It’s working.

It’s really working.

-Rabbits are brave.
-[Nutkin] Whoo-hoo!

-[Benjamin] Rabbits are brave.
-[exclaims]

[all chattering]

-[screams]
-[gasps]

Well, that went wrong

-faster than I expected.
-Whoa.

[all screaming]

[Nutkin gasps]

[Benjamin grunts]

-Phew.
-Phew.

[all gasp]

[Benjamin] Almost… [screams]

-[exclaims]
-Peter. Don’t.

It’s not worth it.

[screams]

Oh, Peter.

-Aw.
-[grunts]

[screams]

I’m being pursued by potatoes. Help.

-Dinner’s nearly ready.
-[sighs]

We were so close.

I really thought we were going to pull off
the Great Potato Plunder.

Cheer up, Peter.

I never got the chance to tell you,

but your father only came back

with one potato, too.

He did?

Yes,

and you know what he said?

It doesn't matter. All that matters

is the adventure.

It may not have been
quite what we planned,

but it was a lot of fun.

And besides, you’d be amazed how far

one potato can go.

Potato stew for everyone.

-Mmm.
-Smells good.

-[Mr. Bouncer moans]
-Mmm-mmm.

That is one great potato, all right.
