[lively music playing]

Arin, Aruzia,
that was terrific.

You play those real good.

Thank you.
We've been practicing
for the royal banquet.

Yes, we composed that song to
honor you, our special friends.

-Oh, thank you.
-Grubby: Uh, Aruzia?

Would you mind if I
played a song with you?

Not at all, Grubby.
Do you play the recorder?

Or perhaps my lute
would be more to your liking.

Well, I sort of had
something different in mind.

-[laughing]
-I whipped this
together myself.

How unusual.
What do you call it?

Hmm. I don't name them,
I just play them. Ha ha.

[playing music]

Five instruments
are better than two.

[playing music]

[Grubby laughs]

-[shouting]
-[pig squealing]

[shouting]

[shouting]

The animals--
they're escaping!

Whoa, easy!
Steady, big fella!

Yikes!

Whoa!

Grubby, help me!

Okay, I'm coming!

Come on, come on, now.
It is I, Prince Arin.

Well, at least they
didn't all get away.

No, but let's catch
the ones that did before
they overrun the kingdom.

Okay, Prince Arin,
I can use the exercise.

-Can you ride a Clop-ed?
-I think so.

Good! Come on!

-Now what do we do?
-We don't fall off.

Good idea, Princess.

Royal guards, watch out!

Ahh!

Ahh!

[splashes]

[distant rumbling]

[gasps]

[screams]

Get along, there!

Excuse me, Father.
Good day, Mother.

-Teddy, meet my parents.
-Pleased to meet you!

I say,
wasn't That Aruzia?

Yes, and that must be
one of their friends.

I wish they'd play outside.

Ha ha! Reminds me
of when I was young.

I can't believe all these, uh,
years have passed, Eunice.

Yes, Newton, but we've both
fulfilled our, uh, dreams.

I became a doctor,

and you're a brilliant,
uh, inventor,

just as we've always dreamed.

Yes. Oh, I remember
I felt the, uh--

the, uh, earth move
when I first met you.

[rumbling]

Oh, and it seems to be
happening again!

Teddy:
Gimmick, Doctor,
get out of the way!

Newton!

[both laughing]

Can we head them back
to the stable, Aruzia?

We'll give it a try,
Teddy. Follow me!

If we turn left
at the next corridor,

we can lead them outside
through the great hall.

Okay, Aruzia, I'll try.

Can I help you down, dear?

Just move over, darling,
so I don't land on you.

On second thought, maybe you
better stay up there.

Aruzia, dear, play
with the animals outside.

Yes, Mother.

Whoa!

Oh, no, it's got me cornered.

Okay, come on.
I can lick you any day.

[knees knocking]

Ha ha. I guess you
licked me after all.

Now, where did that bird go?

[chuckling]

Oh, thank you, my friend.

You're welcome.

Hey, look,
here they come.

They're leading
the animals back.

Whew!

Oh! That was an exciting ride.

I'll say! And it was nice
meeting your parents, too.

I'm glad everyone
is all right.

Yeah, somebody
could have been hurt.

And all because that jester guy
scared all these animals.

Hmm. You may have
a point there, Grubby.

I must speak to him about that.

First, Arin,
I think we'd better find
the rest of the strays.

That should be
the last of them.

Teddy: They look very calm.
I don't think we'll have
much trouble.

Aruzia:
Very well. Let's be
on our way, shall we?

Follow me, everyone.

Grubby, I think you'd make
an excellent farmhand.

The animals seem
to like you very much.

If licking means liking,
I guess you're right. Ha ha.

This sure has been
an exciting day.

Yes it has, Grubby.
It's also been fun.

Thank you for inviting us,
Arin and Aruzia.

Teddy, it is our pleasure.

Listen!

Woman:
No, no! Please don't!

Man:
It's the only food
we've got!

It's coming
from over there. Look!

But how am I to feed my family?
It's the only food we have.

Silence! We take what we wish.

Arin:
Aren't those
Gutang flying machines?

Teddy:
They certainly are.

Grubby: And where you've got
Gutang flying machines,
you've got...

All:
Gutangs!

Let's get them!

-Uh, Arin?
-Yes, Grubby?

We don't have anything
to fight them with.

No root stew, no nothing.

Grubby's right!
What do we do when
we get there?

Oh... I hadn't thought of that.

Listen! What is that
rumbling sound?

Oh... whoa!

Whoa!

Gutangs, retreat!

Whoa!

Whoa! W-W-Whoa!

[laughing]

Teddy:
Are you all right, sir?

Yes. Thanks to you
and your...

Both:
Your Highnesses!

There's no need for formality.
Are you all right?

Aye. But those
wretched Gutangs

would have robbed us blind
had you not happened along.

Ah! We're in your debt.

Nonsense. The kingdom
is in your debt.

Yes, farmers are the
backbone of the kingdom,

especially in these
difficult times.

We are happy that
we could be of help.

[hooves clopping]

Aruzia:
This recent drought
has hit us hard.

Every day more and more
farmers arrive at the castle
asking for help.

Arin: And because
of the shortage of food,

Gutang raids are on the rise.

Teddy: Do you mean that
the Gutangs just come in

and steal everything?

Yes, our soldiers try
to protect the kingdom,

but they can't be
everywhere at once.

No matter what we do,
the Gutangs always
manage to att*ck

an undefended sector
like that farm back there.

They always seem to know
just where our soldiers are.

Teddy, it seems we might
have a spy in our midst.

His Majesty and I are proud to
have you as our honored guests.

We wanted to thank you
personally for bravely
rescuing our children.

Oh, it was nothing,
Your Majesty-ship.

We were happy to be of service
to the royal family.

But we would have done the same
for any friend in trouble.

Then I hope that I, too,
may consider myself a friend
of Teddy Ruxpin.

By all means, Your Highness.

[trumpet sounds]

Lords and Ladies,
and loyal subjects of Grundo,

tonight we honor brave friends
who risked their own safety

to rescue our son
from the Mudblups

and our daughter from the
clutches of the evil Gutangs.

I give you
Newton Gimmick...

Grubby the Octopede...

and the Illiop,
Teddy Ruxpin.

Hard times cannot dispel
the joy we feel

in the presence of three
such true friends.

Now let the feast begin.

[crowd cheering]

Oh!

Gee, Teddy,
can I ask for seconds

before I've had
my firsts?

Remember what Arin said,
Grubby,

They don't have
much food this year.

Yeah, I guess
he wasn't kidding.

Heavens to Grundo!

There's a baby Gloot
under the, uh, table.

[laughs]

For a moment,
I thought you were, uh,
wearing fuzzy slippers.

Teddy:
What's this, Grubby?

Lucky thing I brought some
roots from the airship.

I'm gonna ask the cooks to make
a yummy batch of root stew.

Root stew, you say?

That sounds like an...
interesting dish.

Yes, Your Majesty,
it's Grubby's favorite.

You might say it's the root
of our friendship. Ha ha.

How did you two
become friends, Teddy?

Well, it happened
a long time ago

in our homeland
of Rillonia.

I think we'd all enjoy
hearing that story.

My friends,
your attention, please.

Our heroic guest,
Teddy Ruxpin,

will now tell us the amazing
story of his first encounter

with the brave
and noble Grubby.

[cheering]

Brave and noble? Gosh!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

It all started in Rillonia,

where my family lived
in a little cottage.

We had a little
vegetable garden.

My mother was showing me
how to plant potatoes.

You just dig a hole
this deep,

put a potato in it,

then cover it over with dirt.

Oh, that's easy, Mom.
I can do that.

Well, I worked
most of the afternoon,

and I finally got
the first row planted.

[crickets chirping]

Mother, look.

During the night,
something had dug up

all the potatoes
I'd planted the day before.

It'll take me most of the day
to plant new potatoes.

Later, my mother helped me
fix up a special surprise

-for our potato thief.
-[bells tinkling]

Teddy, can I tell
my side of the story now?

Why, sure, Grubby.

Well, you see, your Majesty,
I was seeing if I could find

any more of those wonderful
little roots I had dug up
the night before.

Octopedes are sometimes
noct-- uh, noct--

-Nocturnal.
-Yeah, that's it!

That's means that sometimes
we sleep during the day
and are awake at night.

Anyway,
the very next night...

[humming]

Let's see. I think it was
right around here

where I found
those roots last night.

Oh, boy! I think I found one.

Yup! [laughs]

A nice little round root.

And I'll bet there's
another one right over there.

Gee, nice of these roots
to grow in a straight line
like this.

Boy, am I glad I brought
along a big bag tonight.

These are the fastest
growing roots I ever saw.

I can hardly carry them all.

Whoa!

-[bells tinkling]
-Hey, what's going on? Hey!

Mother, I think we caught
the potato thief!

[Grubby grunting]

Mother, look!

Teddy, be careful.

We don't know
what that thing is.

Maybe it's a big potato bug.

Potato bug? I'm no potato bug.

-Oh!
-Yikes!

-Then what are you?
-I'm just me.

I'm an Octopede.

Teddy, I think we should
get him out of that net.

All right.

What's your name?

Oh, I'm Grubby.

I didn't know
I was taking something
that belonged to someone.

If you really want
these things buried,

I'll help you put them
back in the ground.

It's starting
to get light.

Oh, Grubby, would you like
to have breakfast with us?

Who, me? Uh, breakfast?

Um, uh, sure.
What are you having?

Well, how about
potato pancakes?

[all laughing]

Grubby: Dig a hole,
drop one in, cover it up.

Dig a hole, drop one in,
cover it up.

Hey, this is almost as much
fun as digging them up.

I really appreciate
your helping me, Grubby.

Oh, I'm glad to help, Teddy.

After all, I dug them up!

[both laugh]

Hey, are you sure these
potatoes are gonna grow?

Oh, sure, before long,
there will be potatoes
all over the place.

Oh, good! And are you gonna bury
other kinds of food, too?

[laughs] Yes.

We'll plant lots of different
kinds of vegetables.

Corn and cabbage and tomatoes.

And most of them will
start out as little seeds.

Wow! Will I be able to help?

Of course, Grubby.

dig, dig, dig ♪

-Hooray!
-Yay!

[cheering continues]

[evil laughter]

Make sure
our troops are ready.

I expect a signal
at any moment.

Yes, Commander!

There it is, the signal
we've been waiting for.

It's time for
the surprise att*ck.

Gutangs,
to your flying machines!

And so, You Majesty,
that was how Grubby and I met.

And our friendship
has been growing ever since.

Yeah, just like those
potatoes.

Ha ha!

No matter how bad things get,

I always feel better
when Grubby's there.

There's nothing in the whole
world like a good friend.

[humming]

[sniffs]
Good heavens,
what's this?

It's my root stew,
Your Majesty.

Would you care to try some?

Uh, no thank you, Grubby,
but you go right ahead.

Do you actually like it?

Why, sure!
It's absolutely yummy.

I thought we were making glue.

[horn plays]

Ladies and Gentlemen
of the court,

I propose a toast
to Newton Gimmick,

-[snickering]
-Grubby, and Teddy Ruxpin.

The royal goblet, please.

The thanks
of a grateful kingdom.

Crowd: Hear! Hear!

-[coughing]
-Oh!

Father, Father!

Father, what's wrong?

-Oh!
-Oh, this is such
a dreadful thing!

[airplanes approaching]

Gutangs!

We're under att*ck!
