[quacking]

— [quacking]

[continues to scream]

Oof!

Oh, I... I was dreaming.

Oh, it... Itwas awful.

Sorry, Sunni.
Sorry, I've got to go.

Was I that bad, Grammi?

Nonsense, child.
Your singing was fine.

That tin-ear would probably
fall asleep during an avalanche.

Gruffi's been working day and night
on that old machine Zummi found.

He's just pooped.

Yes, it was an omen.
That's what it was.

Terrible luck coming.

A real bad omen.

Gummis weren't meant to fly!

[stammering] What's wrong?
What are you doing?

This machine is dangerous.
I refuse to work on it anymore.

But soon we'll be able to fly it.

Never. Gummis weren't meant to fly.

Oh, of course, they were. See?

The ancient Dummis gid...

Uh, Gummis did.

Zummi, I found where the fuel goes.

Oh, good, good.
Put some in and start her up.

But I don't know what the fuel is.

That's what you were looking up.

I was? Oh, yes, of course I was.
[chuckling]

We need something to make you fly,
something to make you go up in the air.

Fuel, fuel. Let's see.

Uh, fog, formation flying, free fall...

Why don't you look up "foo|" instead?

Gummis weren't meant to fly.

Uh, they were too.

- Were not!
- They were too.

- Were not.
- They were too.

Gummiberryjuice!

[engine sputtering]

[machine rewing]

Oh, my goodness, you did it!
You did it!

Now we can fly!

Uh, quick. Cubbi, tell Grammi
we need Jummiberry goose.

Lots and lots of Gummiberryjuice.

I don't care what they say,
Gummis weren't meant to fly.

Ah! Ah! Oh!

Sunni, if you're tired
you can go in now.

I'll finish up.

I'm too excited to be tired, Grammi.

J‘ Gummiberry

J‘ Gummiberry juice

Hmm, let's see.

J‘ We can bounce like

J‘ Like kangaroos J‘ [giggling]

Just think, we're really going to fly.

J‘ With Gummiberry juice

J‘ Gummiberry, Gummiberry juice

J‘ Gummiberry, Gummiberry juice J‘

[Grammi] Sunni! Tummi!

Let's wrap it up for today, Tummi.

OK.

Tummi, where are you going?

Home, to get paper and ribbon.

Just push the wheelbarrow, all right?

First she wants me to wrap it,
then she wants me to push it.

[chuckling] It's OK, Tummi.

Listen, do you want to hear a new song?

- Sure. Where'd you learn it?
- I just wrote it.

I'm gonna be a famous singer, you know.

[male voice squawking]
She is the one we cage.

- [ nd male] When?
- [squawks] Very soon.

[man sighs] Where is my new songbird?

The old one didn't last very long.

[male voice]
We will have her soon, me lord.

[slurping] Soon is not good enough!

I want her in that cage by morning.

Ah, come on, Gruffi, help us.

We need only one more batch
of berries for the flying machine fuel.

Nothing doing. If! said it once
I've said it a hundred times,

Gummis weren't meant to...

[Cubbi] Look out, Gruffi!

Oomph!

Whoops!
I guess my knot came untied.

You see? You see?
Flying only gets you into trouble.

I'm really sorry, Gruffi.

Well, if you're set
on doing this fool thing,

it's time you learned
how to tie a decent knot.

Over, under, and through.

There. Now, remember that.

Thanks a lot, Gruffi.

Flying. Huh!

[Cubbi] Look out, Gruffi!

Sorry, Gruffi.

You know, Tummi,
I really think I can be a great singer.

You should, the way
you practice all the time.

I'll bet I could be really famous,
and even sing for kings.

[humming]

[squeals]

Tummi, help!

Help, Tummi!

Oh, no! Sunni!

I'll save you, Sunni!

Let go of her, you buzzard.

Hurry, Tummi!

lI\ \ \ \ i\I

[squawks]

No! [thud]

Tummi! Help!

Let go of me, you creeps!

And they had these kind of feathers.

Claws... Did they have claws?

Yeah. Big ugly ones.

Oh, look, look. Here they are.

[Tummi] That's them.

They look like ten miles
of extremely bad road.

What are they, Zummi?

"Carpies. A fierce race
of bird-like creatures."

Oh, I can't bear the thought
of poor Sunni with those awful beasts.

I tried to stop them, Grammi. Honest.

We know, Tummi, we know.

Uh, it says here,
"They live atop Carpie Mountain..."

[gasps] "...the steepest
mountain in the |and!"

Then let's get started.
Time's a-wasting.

Well, come on,
we've got to get up that mountain.

All right. In the flying machine.

Hold on, hold on.

The only sane way
to get up that mountain

is the Gummi way, by bouncing up.

But it's too steep, Gruffi.
This machine is our only hope.

Cart it up, Stubbi...
Uh, start it up, Cubbi.

- Right.
- [sputtering]

Cast off, Tummi!

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

This is certifiably insane!

Oh, stop grousing and get in!

Remember, Sunni needs us!

- [gears clicking]
- [rewing faster]

I am not going up in the air,
and that is that.

- Whoa!
- [Grammi] Hey! Wait for us!

We want to go too!

[screaming]

What do I do, Zummi?

[stammering] Oh, here it is.

Pull back. Pull back.

[Zummi] No, no, Cubbi.
Push the stick the other way.

[Gruffi wails]

You've got Gruffi! Look behind you!

I think Grammi wants me to back up.

- Cubbi, Cubbi, try pushing it forward.
- OK.

[QL|rg|ing]

Wow! Look how high we are.

[shuddering] Yeah.

Is that our shadow?

[Zummi] Sure. [chuckling]

And look, there's
Gruffi's shadow behind it...

Gruffi's shadow?!

[Gruffi] Pull me in!

Look out!

Are you all right, Gruffi?

[shivering] Oh, s... sure.

[stammering] This is a regular picnic.

Gruffi, how'd you get back there?

I was roped into it.

[carpie] Is His Majesty pleased
with his new songbird?

Hmm, perhaps.

And perhaps not.

- Move!
- But, Your, uh, Majesty,

I'm really flattered
you like my singing,

but I've been at it for hours.
When can I go home?

Never! You belong to me now, songbird.

- [chuckling]
- What?

Listen, my friends will be here
any minute, and...

If they manage
to get all the way up here,

we'll show them the quick way down.

Now sing!

J‘ Gummiberry
Gummiberry juice

[Zummi] You feeling better, Gruffi?

Ijust want to rescue Sunni and
get finished with this flying nonsense.

How far is it to this Carpie Mountain?

We should be getting near it now.

There it is!

[Cubbi] Wow! We couldn't have
bounced up this thing

with a lake full of Gummiberryjuice.

OK, OK, the flying machine
was a good idea.

You don't have to rub it...

- [engine sputtering]
- Oh, no!

[stammering] I better check
the juice gauge.

Where'd it go? Where'd it go?

[Gruffi] Hey! What's going on?

[Zummi] Something fishy.

It's not fishy, it's fowl!

Give me that pin,
you thieving magpie!

[all] Whoa!

[screaming]

[screaming]

[crashing]

Are you all right, Gruffi?

Gummis weren't meant to...

...crash.

Well, at least we landed in some bushes.

Yeah. Lucky us.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. How will this
ever get us back down again?

But it's got to.

First things first.

We got to find Sunni. Come on!

Whoa! [gasping]

Don't look down, Zummi.

Oh, this is great.

Zummi, you stay here
and try to fix that contraption.

I'll take Cubbi.

Uh, thanks. I appreciate it.

There's a ledge down there, Cubbi.

- I'll bet we can reach it by rope.
- Um, Gruffi?

Uh-uh, uh-uh, nothing doing.

- I'm going to tie the knot this time.
- But, Gruffi...

- Once I'm down, you'll follow.
- But listen, Gruffi.

Don't be scared, Cubbi.
I'll be there to catch you if you fall.

Whoa! Oof!

I've got you, Gruffi.

Cubbi. How did you get here?

There's a trail leading down here.
That's what I was trying to tell you.

Oh, well, thanks.

Come on.

Don't worry, Sunni.
Help is on the way.

I see an opening.
Just a few more feet, Cubbi.

Piece of cake, right, Gruffi?

[chuckling] Nothing to it, kid.

How will we know
where to start looking for Sunni?

We'll just know.

- This way. I can hear her.
- [singing echoing]

[Sunni] J‘ Gummiberry juice
Gummiberry

J‘ Gummiberry juice

[both] This way.

[Carpie king growling] More.

More.

[Sunni] Please, I'm so tired.

I don't want to be a singer. Let me...

- [Carpie king] More! More!
- [Sunni coughs] J‘ Gummi...

I'm gonna save her.

Not so fast, boy.
Let's check it out first.

J‘ Juice

J‘ Gummiberry

- J‘ Gummiberry juice
- [snoring]

J‘ We can bounce like...

[coughs]

J‘ Kangaroos...

[gasps]

J‘ With Gummiberry juice J‘

[Gruffi grunts]

J‘ Gummiberry

J‘ Gummiberry juice J‘

Now what do we do, Gruffi?

I got an idea, Cubbi.

You climb up there to that niche.

OK. I'm good at climbing.

Don't worry, Sunni, we'll get you out.

[Gruffi] Psst. Hey!

Hold this.

Hang on, sweetie.

You hold up this end, Gruffi.
I'll walk across.

Well, let's hope he at least knows
how to untie a knot.

Come on. Hold my hand.

— [snoring]
. [gasping]

[VaWns] More.

J‘ Gummiberry

J‘ Gummiberry juice J‘

Oh, Gruffi!
I'm so happy to see you two.

How did you get here?

We sort of, uh, you know,
used the flying machine.

Zummi's upstairs getting it ready
for our trip back.

Yeah. Well, let's get going.

[snoring]

"Put tab A into slot B."

[stammering] Or is that slot E?

Oh, I can't see. Er...

I gotta get some more light. Uh... uh...

Oh, I know.
My lamp-lighting spell.

"Warmite tomeg noma|"

- Ah.
- [wind gusting]

Don!

We've got to get out of here.

It'll be daylight soon,

and these overgrown parakeets
are gonna wake up.

[Cubbi] How about this way?

- Cubbi, where are you?
- [Cubbi] Up here.

There are two ways.
Which one should I take?

- Go left.
- Go right.

- No, she's right. Go left.
- No, he's right. Go right.

- What should I do?
- [both] You pick.

OK. I'll go left.

[both] Right!

I see the end of the tunnel.
We're free!

_ [Cubbi] Ohh!
— [snoring]

I guess we should have turned right.

[both] Right.

Oh, boy. This is like doing a puzzle
with your eyes closed.

We made it!

Sunni! You're safe!

Yes! Oh, thanks for rescuing me.

Now the big question is,
did you get the contraption fixed?

Uh, well, I had a few extra parts

and a few missing parts,
[chuckling] but it's done.

Uh, uh... [chuckles]
It was dark.

Will it fly?

According to this book, the wings
should be able to float on the winds.

Why don't we just flap our arms?

No, no, no. It says in chapter nine
that technique doesn't really work.

- However, in chapter ten...
- All right, all right. I give up.

What do we do now?

Yeah. Those things
are gonna wake up soon.

Well, uh, we simply
lay down on the wing and hang on.

Once we get off the mountain,
we'll just glide down.

Great! Let's go.

Oh, something's not right.
Something's not right.

Of course. Somebody's
got to push the darn thing off.

- [carpies snore]
- More, more.

More!

‘ [squawking]
— Ah!

What? Huh?

Wake up!

My songbird has escaped!

- Find her, you fools!
- [squawking]

No, Gruffi, don't.
You'll be left behind.

Look, this was all my idea.
Let me stay behind.

Now listen, it's got to be me.
None of you are strong enough.

Then we'll all stay.

Oh, that's foolishness.
Look, I'll be fine.

I'll climb down.

Now get on that wing.

Goodbye, Gruffi!

[carpies squawking]

[Gummis screaming]

Come on, you bunch
of unsightly canaries.

|...Whoa!

Cubbi!

[growls] Don't let them escape!

[groaning]

Back off, buzzard,
or I'll bash you in the beak!

Push them into the mountainside!

Oh, oh, good heavens!

Uh, listen! Listen!

On my word,
everybody read to the light...

Uh, lean to the right. Now!

[Gruffi] Bye-bye, birdies.

This will stop you,
you meddling worms.

Lean back.

[Ye|ps]

- We lost him.
- [all scream]

You'll never escape me.

[gasps] My crown!
Give it back.

Catch, you greedy vulture.

[grunts]

[all] Yeah!

They've got Sunni.

He must like it back there.

Uh, don't worry, don't worry.
We're safe now.

Sunni, I'm so glad you're back.
I could just...

J‘ Gummiberry

- J‘ Gummiberry juice...
- Anything but that, OK?

Oh, OK.

And then we walked right up
to that old king,

and we looked him
right in the eye and...

- Is that too tight?
- [pained] Yes.

Good! That's how it's supposed to be.

- We were fighting hand to hand.
- Not so fast.

Oh, Cubbi, stop all that chatter
and finish tying Gruffi's bandage.

I've got to see to dinner.

Wait, Grammi, this is the best part.

It was just me and the carpies, and...

If I've told that boy once
I've told him a hundred times,

Gummis never brag. Ooh!

Well... [chuckles]

At least he's learned
to tie a decent knot.
