Sparkle: A Unicorn Tale (2023)

[upbeat music playing]

[snorts]

[unicorn whinnies]

- [unicorn whinnies]

- Whoa, fella.

Hold on.

- [unicorn snorts]

- You lost?

Now, who would go and do

such a cruel thing

to a beautiful horse

like you?

[line trilling]

[woman on phone]

Animal Control.

Hello!

This is Animal Control.

[unicorn snorts]

Sorry.

Must have butt-dialed you.

[phone beeps off]

[majestic music playing]

[engine starts]

[bleating]

[woman]

Annabelle, did you hear me?

Mr. Cash and I are deeply sorry

about your Grandpa Joe's

passing, but...

you won't be able

to stay here.

The property will be

going to foreclosure

- in one week and--

- [clears throat]

I remember my mom told me

there were seven colors

in the rainbow.

There is.

You just have to remember

Roy G. Biv.

It's an acronym to remember

the order of the colors:

red, orange, yellow, green,

blue, indigo, and violet.

My mom told me that.

I have to take you

to the orphanage for now.

Just until we find

a next of kin,

or perhaps your father.

Yeah, I think my dad

d*ed in some kind of w*r.

Well, I'll confirm that

for you.

Regardless,

I will find you a good home

as quickly as possible.

What about the animals?

Okay, who's gonna

take care of them?

I'm sure a good home

will be found for them as well.

But they're my family, okay?

- They're all I have left.

- [door opens]

I'll take care of 'em.

Since I'll be

buying this property

out of foreclosure anyway.

In fact...

you got that paperwork?

No, Mr. Gilmer,

they're not ready.

Besides, there's still

a week left.

I can take care

of the farm, okay?

And the animals.

I've lived here all my life.

I know I can do it!

Yeah? And I can chase rainbows,

little girlie!

[laughing]

[clears throat]

Little girl, why don't you, uh,

go on through the house

and grab up all the possessions

you feel a connection to

and take 'em with ya.

Goodwill will be here

in a couple of days

to start picking things up.

Oh, I'll take extra special

care of this one.

[Annabelle]

His name's Baby, okay?

And he's not used

to other people yet.

- Uh, uh-huh.

- And those other animals,

- those are my family too,

so you better--

- [Mr. Gilmer] Family?

Family is overrated

and unreliable, kid!

They will always let you down!

[sighs]

We need to go, Annabelle.

[sniffles] Okay.

[majestic music playing]

[whinnies]

Holy wow.

What are you looking at?

There's a unicorn.

No, no, I mean,

it was just there.

I swear.

[bleats]

[sniffles]

[woman] Well, hopefully,

it's just temporary.

Annabelle, why don't you

wait for me over there?

I may have a lead on her father.

I'm not sure yet,

but I didn't want to tell her

in case I got her hopes up.

A lead on an absent father.

I'm not sure how they do

things in England, but--

- I'm Australian.

- Whatever.

He's probably absent

for a reason.

Well, I need to find out why.

Don't think that just because

there's a related gene involved

that it's the best situation

for a child.

I grew up in this orphanage,

and look at me now.

Uh, you never left?

You were never adopted?

Well, no.

But now I run this place.

[girl] Hi.

Oh, hi.

- I'm Emma.

- Annabelle.

Weren't you the one I saw

looking at me from the window?

Uh-huh.

I knew you were coming.

What do you mean?

I saw a rainbow this morning.

And felt this warmth

all up and down my body,

and then my knuckles

kinda vibrated.

What is that?

Some sort of tooth?

It's a unicorn horn.

[soft chuckle]

That's funny.

I thought I saw one

this morning.

You probably did.

They're real.

Really?

Are you talking about

unicorns again, Emma?

Yes, Annabelle saw one.

I said I thought I saw one.

Well, don't listen to her.

She rarely talks,

and when she does

it's only about unicorns.

Are you going to some

costume party or something?

- Huh?

- Your...

No. [chuckles]

I'm a magician.

- [woman] Annabelle!

- [bell ringing]

I'm leaving.

It looks like

you've made friends already.

What are you two

still doing down here?

Get up...! You too!

Please don't leave me here.

Be back before you know it.

- I promise.

- [sniffles]

Pinky swear.

[Annabelle sighs]

- It's gonna be all right.

- Come back.

My mom gave it to me

when Jake and I were little.

Before she d*ed.

It's cool.

My mom's gone too.

It was a long time ago,

but I've been living

with my grandpa and my--

And who?

My animals.

They're my family.

What kind of animals?

Cows, sheep, goats,

chickens, dogs, cats.

We have a new baby pig.

So cute.

Aww. I wanna see

all of them.

Who's feeding them now?

Wanna see

this coin disappear?

Normal hand, nothing going on.

Nothing up my sleeves.

[coin clatters]

Dang it.

Really, Jake?

Sorry.

[Jake sighs]

[Annabelle]

I won't stay here.

My animals need me, okay.

I need to go.

You won't be able to leave.

They lock all the doors

from the outside.

Yeah. But there's

a service door in the kitchen

that has a loose latch and bolt.

So you can easily get out

with just a playing card.

Jake, may I please borrow

one of your playing cards?

[tense music playing]

[door rattles]

[pants]

[door clicks]

[grunts]

[soft chuckle]

- That's goofy, right?

- [snorts]

[laughs]

[exhales]

Holy wow!

- [door opens]

- [unicorn whinnies]

[Annabelle] Hello?

Is anyone here?

[unicorn grunting]

Who's making that sound?

Is it you? Frieda?

[duck honks]

- Stewie?

- [bleating]

- Mr. Bacon?

- [snorting]

- [unicorn snorts]

- Oh.

Hey, you're the one

I saw this morning.

Are you lost?

[unicorn grunts]

Are you from mean

ol' man Gilmer's farm?

[unicorn grunts]

Whoever did this

did an awesome job.

I mean, you look like

a real unicorn.

[unicorn grunts]

[majestic music playing]

Holy wow!

You are real!

Do you have a name?

I-- I'm sure you have a name.

- [unicorn grunts]

- [chuckles]

I can't translate that.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Um, so I'll just

call you "Charlie."

[unicorn grunts]

That's a good boy

unicorn name.

Charl-- No.

Um, okay, how about...

- Sparkle.

- [whinnies]

[chuckles]

Sparkle it is!

So, Sparkle,

where are you from?

I mean,

what are you doing here?

Tell me your story.

[Sparkle grunts]

I'm pretty tired.

I think I'm gonna rest.

You'll watch over me

though, right?

[man] Annabelle?

Annabelle, I'm waiting for you.

Oh, and watch out

for that water.

[gasping]

Are you lost?

Sparkle? Sparkle?

Sparkle?

One of your dumb farm animals?

He's not a farm animal,

he's a u...

There.

All arranged.

Tomorrow you transfer

to the home

for wayward children.

All because of one mistake?

I didn't realize

that picking a lock,

and running away from this

horrible place was that wrong.

Is there some sort of manual

you didn't show me?

[laughs]

You think you're so funny!

But no one runs away

from my orphanage

and goes unpunished.

[Emma]

The home for wayward children?

[thunder rumbles]

I heard that place

is really bad.

Yeah, like super bad.

Hey, wanna see me disappear?

These are smoke bombs.

Anyway...

You wouldn't believe

what I found.

The unicorn I saw.

Yeah, you were right.

It is real.

[Emma] I knew it!

That explains the rainbow

I saw yesterday

when I felt you coming.

What do you mean?

[Emma] I have this book

about unicorns.

It says they come from rainbows.

And only appear to people,

'cause they're like

helper creatures.

- Like angels?

- [Emma] Yeah, sort of.

But they only visit

to fulfill wishes and dreams.

And only have a certain

amount of time to do it.

So what happens

if they don't?

They start to lose their magic

and become regular horses.

This is a real unicorn horn.

My mom said one appeared to her

when she wished

for the birth of her children.

Since she wasn't

supposed to have any.

So what does

that mean for me?

Maybe it's here to help me

save my farm and my animals.

- Oh, my gosh, you're right!

- Yeah!

So what are you gonna do?

Well, I'm not gonna go

to that prison for wayward kids,

so I'm going to run away.

- Can I come with you?

- No, Emma!

But I wanna meet

a real unicorn.

You're not going anywhere.

[sighs]

[fanfare playing]

[Master Chief] You survived.

Of course, Master Chief.

I promise, I didn't

push her too hard.

[chuckles] It's not you

I'm worried about.

She's tougher than she looks.

Are we talking about

the plane, sir?

Officer Hart,

this is Natalie Evans.

She's from

Child Protective Services.

She's got some questions

that I need answered.

Thank you, Master Chief.

- Mr. Hart.

- Karl.

Do you remember a woman

named Laney Brennan?

Oh, yeah, of course.

We dated

all through high school.

Even for a little while after.

And what happened?

We broke up, shortly before

I was deployed, and...

and I never heard

from her again. Why?

Well, I'm sorry to inform you,

but Laney passed away

from cancer about ten years ago.

Oh.

Do you know about this?

Uh, a birth certificate?

I don't understand.

You didn't know

she had a baby?

Judging from my calculations,

about six months

after you were deployed.

Uh, no.

I had no clue.

Uh...

Is this for real?

I have a daughter?

Well, I'm guessing

Annabelle's grandfather, Joe,

never sought you out.

And, uh, well,

he just passed away.

Sir, I-- I'm--

I'm not entirely too sure

about what I'm

supposed to do here.

Well, what typically happens

with a new father

is he's given a handshake

and a new cigar.

But I don't have

any cigars. So...

Congratulations, son.

I'm a dad.

Indeed you are.

This goes against

my better judgement,

not to mention all conceivable

Air Force regulations,

but I saw something

the other day

that I can't explain.

A miracle perhaps.

You know, my gut saved me

when I was flying Scorpions

over Afghanistan.

Now it's telling me

to set you free, son.

And I always listen to my gut.

Now you go,

and find that little girl.

Be the family that she needs.

Now, get outta here!

Before I change my mind.

Thank you, sir.

[phone ringing]

[automated voice] At the tone,

please record your message.

Hi, Mother Chloris,

it's Natalie Evans

from Child Protective Services

calling in regards

to Annabelle Brennan.

I've got some good news.

Give me a call back, please.

Thanks.

[sighs]

I'm really not too sure

what just happened.

- [phone beeps]

- [automated voice]

Message erased.

[tense music playing]

[door rattles]

- Shh.

- [gasps]

It's me.

I'm coming with you.

It's not a good idea,

Emma, Jake said--

I wanna see a real unicorn.

And you might need my help.

Okay.

It's not working.

Shh!

What are you doing?

Going to see the unicorn

with Annabelle.

You can't,

we'll get in so much trouble.

Please, Jake,

I really need to do this.

Fine.

But I'm going with you.

You'll need a man

to protect the both of you.

- [exhales]

- [door rattling]

It's not working, okay.

I think they fixed it.

Hold this.

Here you go.

[popping]

Huh.

Give me this.

[laughs]

- Yes!

- Yes!

You can't be serious.

[grunts]

Come on. Come on, let's go.

[Annabelle] Come on.

Your sister's really sweet.

Yeah.

You know, she's been

happier around you

than she has with anyone.

Really?

Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

How'd your parents die?

Oh, my mom d*ed a long time ago

from cancer,

so I've been living

with my grandpa, and then...

I never really met my dad.

But I think this was his.

Well, not sure.

Anyway, my mom said he d*ed

fighting for our country.

Come on,

we better keep going.

She thinks that I d*ed

fighting for our country?

Well, at least her mother

gave me a noble death.

Why'd you two break up,

if you don't mind me asking?

I don't really remember.

I mean, we were young,

we were just out of high school.

Probably argued

about something dumb

like all teen couples do.

Whatever it was,

it never gave me

any reason to believe

that she was pregnant.

I just wish

she would've told me.

It's not your fault.

Now you have the opportunity

to have some of that

and be there for Annabelle.

The place she's at right now,

I wanna get her out

as soon as possible.

[tense music playing]

[upbeat ringtone]

Yes, this is she.

Unfortunately,

Annabelle is not ready

for her transfer yet.

But I do need to add

two more children to that list.

He's the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

Yeah, it's a pretty good

hair and makeup job.

What are you doing here, boy?

I named him Sparkle.

Why would you do that?

Sparkle's a good name!

Come on, do you wanna meet

the rest of my family?

Yeah!

And this is Baby.

You are the worst pet namer

in the whole universe.

- [squawking]

- [screams]

Sorry, I take it back!

[girls laughing]

So what do you

think of my family?

I love 'em all.

And Sparkle

is definitely here for you.

- How do you know?

- I just know.

He's got a mission. My book says

he won't be able to return home

until he completes it.

[tense music playing]

[car door shuts]

Oh, no, it's Mother Chloris!

Okay, um, we have

to get inside, come on!

[panting]

- What do we do?

- We have to stay quiet.

She's wearing my necklace.

What are you doing here?

Annabelle ran away

from the orphanage again.

I found her here yesterday.

Have you seen her?

[Mr. Gilmer] Ran away.

What kind of racket

are you running?

[Mother Chloris]

She had help.

She better not mess

with my plans

to buy this property.

I wouldn't put it

past that girl to try.

She's a clever one.

But she's just an orphan.

And don't worry,

when I find her,

she's going to be

transferred to a new home.

And believe me, she won't be

running away from that one.

Well, you be sure of it.

And if you do,

I can see myself making a, uh...

generous donation

to your orphanage.

I'm looking

forward to it.

[tense music playing]

[upbeat ringtone]

What?

What do you mean a visitor?

I have no appointments today.

Miss Natalie from the CPS?

Well, you tell her

to make an appointment.

Fine. Fine.

I'll be there shortly.

[all exhale]

That was close.

I can't believe

she's wearing my necklace.

That's so rude!

She'll be back.

Well, Emma and I need to get

back to the orphanage,

- before we get in more trouble.

- What about the unicorn?

You saw him already, Em.

Now we have to help him

complete his journey.

[sighs]

Jake's right, Emma.

It's already too late for me,

but you two might get

in more trouble.

Plus, there's no electricity

or water in this house anyway.

But I'm the unicorn expert,

you need me.

Sparkle needs me.

I'm staying until

his mission is complete.

We don't even know

what that is.

Yet. We don't know yet.

Fine. But we can't stay here

in case Mother Chloris

comes back.

Okay, I think

I have an idea.

This is the perfect place

to stay hidden.

And look out for Sparkle

and the other animals.

Perfect place to watch out

for rainbows too.

And a perfect place

to get mosquito bites.

[sighs]

You are Annabelle's father?

That's what that says.

It doesn't mean anything.

Anyone could have doctored it.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

You've seen the scams

these days.

And why would we try

and scam you?

I met Mr. Gilmer,

and he told me all about

the foreclosure

on the farmhouse,

and the people

who want to take it from him.

Take it from him?

It's not even his to take.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway.

Annabelle's gone off

and ran away.

- She's runaway?

- [Mother Chloris]

For the second time!

A second time?

What kind of a racket

are you running here?

Why aren't you out there

looking for her?

What do you think I was doing

before I was rudely interrupted

by this impromptu meeting?

I found her the last time

at her grandfather's farmhouse.

But she wasn't there this time.

- Have you called the police?

- Of course!

And they said they have a lead.

- Perhaps someone saw her

in the city.

- [Karl] All right.

You'll call us

if you hear anything?

Of course, I will.

[Mr. Gilmer] Whoo, it's hot.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello.

This is Mother Chloris

from the orphanage.

I just had a visit from someone

who claims to be Annabelle's

- long-lost father.

- What?

That's absurd!

I've never seen a father

around that place.

I saw the birth certificate

with my very own eyes.

Wait, so what happens now?

Well, with Annabelle missing,

there is no child

to claim as his own, is there?

I got it.

I'm approaching Joe's farmhouse

right now and I'll see if she--

- What the-- [yelling]

- [tires screeching]

[whinnies]

[yelling continues]

[Mother Chloris, over phone]

W-what happened?

[grunts]

I just saw a horse

with a horn.

I'll call you back.

[groans]

Whoo.

He's gonna get Sparkle.

Wait! If you get caught,

we'll all be sent back

to the orphanage.

[soft expl*si*n]

[cell phone ringing]

- Hello.

- What happened?

What do you mean?

- You said you saw

a horse with a horn.

- What?

Why would I say that?

Never mind.

Did you see Annabelle?

No.

But I'll keep looking.

Toodle-oo!

[line hangs up]

[engine starts]

[exclaims]

Wow.

[Sparkle snorts]

For a fake unicorn,

you sure do have

some magic skills.

My book talks

all about their magic.

But I still can't believe

what I just saw.

I think it's about time

I take a look at this book.

[rooster crows]

Okay, so I was reading

the section about

granting wishes and stuff,

and it says the unicorns

can only grant those

to the receivers.

- [Jake] Who's the receiver?

- Annabelle is, dummy!

- Sparkle is here for her.

- So you say.

Prove it. Make a wish.

Okay, um...

"I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me the wish

I ask of you."

I wish for the water

and the electricity to be

turned back on in the house.

So we may shower

and get cleaned up.

[upbeat music playing]

[laughs]

Ha-ha.

Nice trick, Annabelle.

[Emma] Don't listen

to him, Annabelle.

Make another wish.

Okay, um...

"I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me the wish

I ask of you."

I wish for hot pizza

and ice cream

because we're starving.

[Emma gasps]

This is so awesome!

[Annabelle] Oh, wow!

I'm not sure how you did that,

but I'll figure it out.

- It was all Sparkle!

- Whatever.

- Wish for something bigger.

- Okay, like what?

Teleportation to the moon.

That's so dumb.

Um, I ask of you,

my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

If you feel my heart is true,

then grant me this wish

I ask of you.

We wish to be

teleported to the moon.

Sparkle, I said I wish to be

teleported to the moon.

[Jake] Told you.

[Emma]

That wish was too ridiculous.

I mean, if we were instantly

teleported to the moon,

we'd die 'cause

we couldn't breathe.

Yeah, okay, so Sparkle

was just looking out for us.

Make another wish.

How about...

a million dollars?

Okay.

I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me the wish

I ask of you.

I wish for a million dollars.

Chloris, you ordered pizza

to the farmhouse?

Me? No.

Maybe it was your horse

with the horn.

Yeah, yeah, or the kids.

- Did you see them?

- No.

But you might wanna

get down here.

Fine, wait for me.

Hmm.

Maybe you only get two wishes

and you used them both already.

That's not what the book

says though.

It's supposed to be unlimited

as long as the unicorn

remains on Earth

and still has to fulfill

its purpose.

And once complete, the receiver

is gifted a treasure

- at the end of the rainbow.

- What kind of treasure?

There's supposed to be

pots of gold

at the end of rainbows.

[sighs] What?

I'm just kidding.

No, you're right.

And that's how I'll buy back

my grandpa's farmhouse!

That's why he's here.

[Annabelle] It has to be.

Seriously, I was kidding.

Come on.

You really think

you're gonna find

an actual pot of gold?

We finally found

Sparkle's purpose.

We need to find a rainbow.

[vehicle approaching]

Oh, no,

it's Mother Chloris again.

Both of you go keep

lookout over there.

- What are you gonna do?

- Don't worry, I got this.

[tense music playing]

[grunts]

I ask of you,

my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

grant me this wish

I ask of you.

Please protect us, Sparkle.

[yelling]

[groans]

[screams, groans]

[Sparkle snickers]

[chuckles]

- [yelps]

- [gasps]

[wind whooshing]

[exclaims]

[groans]

[screaming]

[bleats]

[snorts]

[screaming echoes]

[whinnies]

[chuckles]

I've seen you do

better than that, Sparkle.

What do you think

we should do now?

We should probably

get some flyers printed off.

That's a good idea.

We can go back to the farmhouse,

and I can get

a recent picture of Annabelle.

Maybe use some

of your m*llitary training

to pick up on any clues

as to where she might be hiding.

They don't teach us

to be detectives.

You know what I mean.

So what's with

the Australian accent?

- [chuckles] You noticed.

- Well, it's kinda hard not to.

Well, I was born and raised

in Tasmania.

Came over here

on a goodwill mission

to assist with orphans,

and just fell in love

with the place.

The people, the culture,

so I stayed.

So you're far from home.

Depends on

your definition of home.

Mm. It sure beats

orphanage food.

One thing's for sure,

I know you're a real

good magician now.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You sure know how

to make food disappear.

[girls laughing]

[Annabelle]

Sparkle! We see the rainbow.

Sparkle, we gotta get you home.

Sparkle, where are you?

Sparkle!

We're gonna miss it.

This place

hasn't changed one bit.

I remember meeting

Laney's father

for the first time

right there on the porch.

How was that?

Not sure.

I was just staring

at the shotgun he was holding

the entire time.

Huh.

Oh, wait, I know, I know.

I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me this wish

I ask of you.

I wish to be teleported

under the rainbow.

[Sparkle grunts]

I don't understand.

Isn't this what you need,

Sparkle?

- [Sparkle grunts]

- What happened now?

We can't find the end

of her pot of gold.

Surprise, surprise.

This doesn't make

any sense.

I remember you.

[Natalie] Food from downstairs

is still warm,

and judging by the amount...

[Karl] She's so beautiful.

I wish I'd been here

for all of this.

Now you can make up for it.

Just hope it's not too late.

It's not.

Seen it happen many times

over my years

of being a social worker.

It's why I do it, honestly.

Just because a child's been

brought up differently,

there's still a chance

to positively

affect their lives.

I believe there's

a special reason

that you were meant to enter

Annabelle's life at this moment.

Uh...

I started to doubt

if I would ever have

a family of my own.

It's honestly beginning

to feel like an impossibility.

Kinda like

chasing rainbows, huh?

Yeah.

I guess so.

Oh, this is an absolute mess.

Let's just keep looking around,

see what we can find.

[sighs]

Uh, definitely more than

one person.

It's a pretty smart location,

eye on the house,

hidden from view.

Where's the nearest farm

from here?

That would be Bo Gilmer's.

'Bout a mile away.

He's the one who bought,

or at least intends to buy

the farm once it forecloses.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, sorry.

Can we go visit him?

Of course.

[indistinct mumbling]

- Mr. Gilmer.

- What?

You remember me from last week,

with Annabelle.

Oh, gee.

That was so long ago,

I don't know

if my memory goes back--

Of course, I remember you.

Well, this is Karl Hart,

Annabelle's father.

It's nice meeting you,

Mr. Gilmer.

- Have you seen Annabelle?

- No.

Uh... why would

I have seen Annabelle?

So, you... you bought

Joe Brennan's farm, huh?

Tomorrow.

But you've got a sold sign

in the front yard already.

I do?

Oh... Must've been that banker.

Uh, they are anxious

to unload that property.

Honestly,

just doing them a favor.

Are you?

Well, then you won't mind

just postponing the purchase?

I mean, since I'm in

Annabelle's life now,

I'd like to explore options

of her living there.

You know, tradition,

and family heritage and stuff.

Don't wanna lose that, right?

Oh, of course not.

And now that

you've finally decided

to be a part

of your daughter's life,

maybe that ancestral heritage

will live on.

Finally decided?

I didn't even--

Thank you for your time,

Mr. Gilmer.

If you could postpone

the purchase,

we'd really appreciate it.

And if you see Annabelle,

please give me a call.

I'd really like

to reunite the two.

Yeah. Bet you would like

to reunite them.

That woman had been on my watch.

Who does he think he is?

[Natalie]

Don't let him get to you.

You said I'd come

at a perfect time, but it--

Why does it feel like everything

is working against me?

You just have to have faith.

I'm starting to think

that I'd have been better off

if you hadn't gone

to public records

and found my name

on Annabelle's

birth certificate.

That's a harsh thing to say.

I know, I...

I'm sorry, okay.

I-I didn't mean it.

- I'm just...

- I know you didn't.

[sighs]

And by the way, I didn't go

to the public records.

What do you mean?

Well, it just

magically appeared

the day I went

to pick Annabelle up.

It was just sitting there,

randomly.

Mean old man Gilmer is gonna buy

the house tomorrow.

I just-- I don't understand,

why isn't Sparkle helping me?

You should wish for him

to stop it.

Don't you think

I've already tried that?

Okay, it didn't work.

His horn keeps fading too,

I think he's losing his magic.

- We need to do something.

- [Emma] What?

I don't know.

Maybe, somehow, stall the bank

from selling the house.

I can call them.

[chuckles]

I could say

I'm an interested buyer

and will pay double the price.

That's a great idea.

Yeah, and then we can tell them

that they have to wait a week,

'cause your money is in

some "hedgehog" funding,

or something.

Yeah, it'll work!

Hello.

Y-yes, hello.

I'm calling in regards

to the property

on 8906 Farm Road

in Springwell Town.

Yes, I'll hold.

[mouthing]

Yes.

Yes. M-my name is, um...

- [mouthing]

- [stammering]

Salty O'Pepperson.

And I noticed the sold sign

in the front yard,

but I have a counteroffer.

You don't say.

You don't say.

Well, yes, I sure will.

- What did he say?

- He says the sign shouldn't

even be up in the yard.

- And?

- And he's on his way over here

to remove it and to meet me,

so we can go over the details.

What do you mean?

He'll see you're not real!

Or Irish.

Ah, dang it!

Great.

What are we gonna do now?

So...

Which one of you

is the leprechaun?

- [Sparkle snorts]

- You knew I was faking it?

Of course, I did.

My pet rock does a better

Irish accent than that.

But I still needed

to check out this sign.

It'll still be sold tomorrow,

but you never know.

I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me this wish

I ask of you.

I wish for the farmhouse

not to be sold tomorrow.

[Sparkle snorts]

What?

Do I still have

barbecue sauce on my nose?

[sniffs]

You will not sell

my farmhouse tomorrow!

Yes, I will.

You will not sell my granddad's

farmhouse tomorrow!

Yes, I will. [laughs]

You think you're a Jedi wizard

or something?

Come on, Sparkle, please.

Um, interesting-looking horse.

[whinnies]

I gather you ran away

from the orphanage.

[snorts]

Well...

your secret's safe with me.

But after tomorrow...

your hiding place is gone.

Dumb unicorn.

[Annabelle] Sparkle!

[Emma] Sparkle, where are you?

I'm sorry if I called you dumb,

okay? I didn't mean it.

- Where could he have gone?

- Maybe he finally went home.

But he hadn't fulfilled

his purpose yet, he can't go.

I mean back home to his stable,

with his real owners.

Where he belongs.

Maybe his purpose

wasn't for me,

or for the both of you,

but for somebody else.

Sparkle!

[Annabelle and Jake]

Sparkle!

Where are you?

[Annabelle, echoing]

Sparkle!

Sparkle, where are you?

[Sparkle grunts]

- [Mr. Gilmer] Come on.

- [whinnies]

Settle down, boy,

I ain't gonna hurt ya.

There, that has to be him.

Okay, I know a way. Come on.

[Sparkle whinnies]

What in tarnation!

I knew it was fake all along.

Get...

[whinnies]

[Mr. Gilmer grunts]

Good thing Animal Control

will be over tomorrow

for all the animals

at Joe's farm.

I'll have 'em

scoop you up as well.

[laughs]

- [thunk]

- [groans]

[Sparkle whinnies]

[whinnies]

[tense music playing]

[exhales]

He's all tied up.

[Emma]

Oh, no, he lost his horn.

[Annabelle] We have to get him

out of there.

The door is padlocked.

[Annabelle] Do you have anything

up your sleeve?

Is that a trick question?

What? N-no.

Like do you have anything

that might pick the lock?

Oh! No.

Okay, I'm gonna climb

through the window

and then I'll see if there's

another way from inside.

- What should we do?

- You two stay as lookouts.

Hey. Hey, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm so sorry about your horn.

This is all my fault.

Maybe if I hadn't made

so many stupid wishes,

you'd still have

some of your magic.

I'm so sorry, boy.

[kisses]

Annabelle, hurry up!

Get out of there!

[banging]

[Mr. Gilmer] Well, well, well.

Looks like my bait worked.

What do you mean?

You think I want

your dumb-looking horse?

No, I got horses of my own.

You wanted me?

Oh, uh, j-just temporarily.

[Sparkle snorts, whinnies]

[phone dialing]

Oh, it-it's Bo Gilmer.

- Guess who I just caught

in my mouse trap.

- [phone beeps]

[Mother Chloris,

on speaker phone]

Hello, Annabelle!

My, my, you've been

a hard little girl to find.

But it looks like you've

reached the end of your rope.

Well, what should I do with her?

Just hold her for me

until the morning.

I'll come and drive her

straight to the new home

myself.

What about the other two?

I-I haven't seen 'em.

We'll find them soon enough.

And they'll get there too.

Mother Chloris,

if I cooperate,

will you please leave

Emma and Jake alone?

Okay, It's all my fault

that they ran away

in the first place.

- No.

- [laughs]

Well, this little girlie

won't be going anywhere.

And I believe that means

you're the proud new owner

of another farm.

Well, that's right.

And don't worry,

I'll honor our deal

and get you

a charitable donation.

I look forward to it.

Looks like you're gonna be

my barn guest for the night.

Oh, that's a nice watch

you got there, don't ya think?

Well, at least you get a final

moment with one of your animals.

Before they're all gone.

[laughs]

[Emma] Annabelle.

Annabelle!

Are you okay?

[Annabelle] I'm fine.

What should we do?

Just give up.

[Emma] No.

You and Jake need to run away

and forget about me.

I'm so sorry

for getting you into this,

but Mother Chloris

is not gonna go easy on you.

Don't say that.

The farm is gonna get

sold tomorrow,

my animals

are being given away,

and I'm going

to a new orphanage.

- But, Sparkle--

- Sparkle's horn is gone.

Okay? There's no more rainbows,

and even when there were,

they did nothing. Okay?

It was a complete fail.

Maybe we didn't read

the book right,

maybe we missed something!

Emma, just give up! Okay?

There's nothing we can do.

And it's all my fault.

Why don't we use another horn?

[Sparkle grunts]

- What do you mean?

- [Jake] Your necklace.

You're right.

Annabelle, did you hear that?

- Yeah.

- My necklace

is a real unicorn horn.

Maybe it'll work on Sparkle.

Maybe, but there's

one problem though,

you don't have it, remember?

Oh, we'll go steal it back

from Mother Chloris.

No. No, no, no, no way.

You are not getting

into more trouble for me.

[Emma]

We're already in trouble.

What do we have to lose?

I said run away.

[Emma] Nope.

We're family now.

And we're not leaving

anyone behind.

Come on, Jake.

You hear that?

She said we're family now.

[Karl sighs]

Well, I really do

appreciate you helping me out.

It's fine. And uh, we'll hang

the rest up in the morning.

Thank you.

You know,

despite the circumstances,

I really have enjoyed

getting to know you.

Honestly, I-I don't know

how I would've done

any of this without you.

Oh, you know,

it's part of my job.

But I really enjoyed

spending time with you too.

You know,

despite the circumstances.

Well, uh, I guess,

we better get some rest.

Yeah. Um, I need to go

feed my fish anyway.

Oh, all right,

well, good night.

Good night.

[sighs] Feed my fish, really?

I don't even have a fish.

What do you think's gonna happen

when this is all over?

We'll probably be sent

to that other orphanage.

I'd rather just run

farther away.

- We can't do that.

- Why not?

As long as we're together,

we'll be okay.

Sorry for not talking

since Mom and Dad left.

That's okay.

I know you miss them too.

But I sure did miss your voice.

Even though it can get

whiny sometimes.

Thanks for protecting me too.

I know you don't believe

in any of this unicorn stuff.

My job is to protect you.

And I promise I will

for the rest of my life.

And you know what?

I do believe.

I believe in all of it.

I shouldn't have

let them go.

I mean,

they're gonna get caught.

And then it was all for nothing.

I shouldn't have run away

from the orphanage

in the first place.

[Sparkle grunting softly]

I miss my mom so much,

Sparkle.

I thought maybe

she sent you from heaven,

but I guess I was wrong.

Good boy.

[thunder rumbles]

[tense music playing]

- Where do you think she is?

- Shh. You're gonna wake

everyone up.

Okay, you go check upstairs,

- I'm gonna check the office.

- Okay.

Emma.

Emma.

She's wearing my necklace.

- What do we do?

- We have to get it back.

[tense music continues]

[Emma panting]

[door squeaks]

[snores]

[whispers]

I have an idea.

[chuckles]

- Don't k*ll her.

- Huh? No.

Okay, okay.

You take this.

Okay, follow my lead.

[snoring]

[snoring]

[mouthing]

[snoring]

[sneezes]

[yawns]

[grunts]

[thunder rumbles]

[snoring]

[mouthing]

[whispers]

It's not gonna work.

[whispers]

It is. It is.

[whispers]

Fine.

[tense music playing]

[soft laugh]

[whispers]

You did it! Yes!

[whispers]

Okay, let's go.

[snoring]

[upbeat music playing]

No!

[panting]

[Sparkle grunts]

[Emma] Annabelle.

- Annabelle. Annabelle!

- Emma?

Emma, what happened.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

- [Annabelle] Jake?

- Hello.

- [Emma] We got the horn!

- You did?

[epic music playing]

[giggles]

You're back, Sparkle.

[whinnies]

Hey! Hey!

Okay. We gotta go!

Go, go, go!

Come on, Sparkle.

And where do you think

you're going?

We have a unicorn to get home.

If that's a unicorn,

then I'm a fire-breathing

dragon.

[laughs]

Where's my necklace?

It was my necklace!

Finders keepers.

That's right.

Finders keepers.

Well, who are

you kids anyway?

They're my family.

Underrated

and completely reliable.

They've never let me down.

That's enough!

It's time we get you all

to your new home.

- Don't make another move.

- [Mr. Gilmer] Or what?

You kids got some more magic

up your sleeve?

Actually, I do.

[Sparkle whinnies]

[whinnies]

[both coughing]

Wait, they disappeared!

Wait--

There they are!

- Go get 'em!

- What about you?!

I got a farm to buy!

[gasps, grunts]

I hope this works.

I'm sure it will.

I know that you've got

other work to do,

kids to take care of.

As far as I'm concerned,

Annabelle's well-being

is still my job.

I plan on finishing it

through to the end.

So have you thought about

what's gonna happen

once you find Annabelle?

You know, with the Air Force?

I'll probably be

permanently discharged.

You know, as a...

a single parent.

It's just you've dedicated

so much of your life

to serving your country.

I'd imagine that

being a hard choice.

Any choice that leads to me

raising my daughter,

having a family,

isn't a hard one at all.

That is, if I find her.

Don't worry.

We'll find her.

You'll get your family.

You'll catch your rainbow.

Hey, do you mind if we go

and check out the farmhouse

one more time?

[Natalie] Sure.

[upbeat music playing]

[whinnies]

[Annabelle]

Look, there's a rainbow!

Come on, let's go!

[Mother Chloris] No!

Whoa.

You got that paperwork?

Oh, uh, sure.

Let's go inside.

Nope, we're gonna do this

right here, right now.

All right, hey,

hold your horses.

Hey, what, no, um...

I win!

It's mine!

It's all mine!

You are now the proud owner

of Patty's Pedicures for Pets.

- What?

- You signed

the wrong paperwork.

Oh.

No, no, hold on.

Just...

[whinnies]

Come on,

we're almost there.

It's at the house,

up ahead.

Yeah, I'm...

It's here somewhere.

Got it.

Got it, got it, got it.

Okay. No, no, no,

no, no, no. Hold on.

Hey, hold on now!

That's not for the sale

of the house, is it?

That's right,

and you're too late.

[laughs]

[shimmering sound]

Now, what's the meaning of this?

[man] What?

No. I don't understand.

It was just here.

[whinnies]

Holy wow!

Whoa.

Enough of this circus!

It's time to go-- Oh.

Oh, oh my. [laughs]

Where am I? [laughs]

Hi, Annabelle.

I'm Karl.

Hi, Karl,

it's nice to meet you.

Yeah, it's nice

to finally meet you.

I'm, uh, you're my, uh...

What-what I'm trying

to say is--

- Hi, Dad.

- Oh.

Where have you been all my life?

I've been preparing

for this moment, this...

this perfect moment.

I've been hearing

your voice in my dreams,

and I didn't realize it before,

but I guess Sparkle's been

trying to give me hints.

- Hey, that's my old watch.

- Is it? [laughs]

You know, your mom

always believed in pursuing

the things you love,

even if it seems impossible.

[Annabelle]

"Chase the rainbow."

[Sparkle whinnies]

It's time for you to go,

isn't it, Sparkle?

You think you're

pretty clever, huh? Right?

[sniffles]

And I think I figured you out

about the wishes,

I mean, the chant pretty much

spells it out.

I ask of you, my magic steed,

not what I want,

but what I need.

And if you feel

my heart is true,

then grant me the wish

I ask of you.

You never granted me

the wishes I wanted,

only the ones that I needed

that led me to finding my dad.

Your dad, Annabelle,

he's your pot of gold.

I'm gonna miss you

so much, Sparkle.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for letting me

use your horn, Emma.

Thanks for making us

believe again.

- [Sparkle snorts]

- Bye.

I have no what idea

what I just witnessed.

But I just wanted to say

thank you for your service.

And I'll give you some time

to get things in order

if you're interested

in buying back the farm.

Oh, you bet I am.

Thank you.

I hope you understand,

Mr. Gilmer.

Understand?

Understand what?

Oh, criminy!

Time to go milk the cows.

Okay.

Toodle-oo!

We'll talk about your new

pet pedicure salon later.

[Natalie] You okay?

It's the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

It is, isn't it?

So Mr. Hart and I

will be by later

to handle Annabelle's

new guardian paperwork.

Of course, whenever.

No hurry.

I'll be busy

making some positive changes

to the orphanage.

I want this to happen

for all the children.

Good for you.

I have a feeling there's

gonna be a lot of changes.

[laughs]

- Oh.

- Hey.

- [chuckles]

- Thank you, my dear.

[Natalie]

Is dinner ready?

Well, uh, all I need

is some butts in the chairs.

Mwah!

Annabelle,

where's the others at?

Oh, I'll go get 'em.

[Emma] Okay, then,

let's see it, Jake.

[Jake] All right.

- Was it the ace of spades?

- No.

Was it the four of club?

- No.

- Dang it.

Was it the jack of club?

- No, just give up already.

- Fine.

- [laughing]

- Okay, dinner's ready.

Yes!

What was the card?

It was the three

of diamonds. Whoa!

[laughs]

You're getting pretty good.

- I know, right.

- Thank you.

Okay, come on.

[Karl] Oh, really,

I hope you guys are hungry.

Well, you know, I mean, there's

some fresh veggies over there,

- we can throw 'em on the grill.

- [Annabelle] Hey!

[Karl] What's going on?

We're having grilled spaghetti.

I totally forgot...
