It's about time Grandpa
brought us back to Mascot.

I can finally complete
the Mascot Run!

Okay, ready?!

I'm actually on track
to finish in time!

Well, if that's the case,

I think we can take
a little break to check out

all this cool
tourist junk!

We need to keep our eyes
on the prize --

the cool mystery T-shirt
you get if you

collect photos of yourself
with all the mascots!

You get distracted
every year,

and we never get our photos
with the last --

Oh, Gwen, you're talking
to a guy who can turn into

a lightning-fast alien.

Lightning speed doesn't
mean the lines for photos

are any shorter!

Pretzel Pete!

I'm hungry!

Tyrone the Tex Mex T-Rex!

Hat City!

Elvisphant!

Chaps!

The only one left is Yawk!

What's a Yawk?!

Didn't you read the Mascot
travel brochure!

He's a giant adorable bear.

[ Grunts ]

Whoa, you okay?
Huh!

We have to get a photo
with Yawk!

Sorry, kid, big guy's
all tucked in.

Can't you just
take the tarp off?

Oh, no, it's very important
to have Yawk wrapped up

before sundown -- so he doesn't
come to life and eat everyone.

Really?!

Of course not!

That's just what my dad
tells tourists

so they don't climb
on it.

Sorry, guys!

[ Growls ]

Don't worry!
We'll get it tomorrow!

Oh, no,
we won't have time for that.

I told you guys
we have a tight schedule

to stick to in the morning.

Guess we'll just have to

get your T-shirt next year!

It's not about
the shirt, Ben!

You always do this.

I told you this was important
to me, and you didn't listen.

[ Sighs ]

Come on! Whoa, is it
just me or do the mascots...

Look different at night?

I believe creepy is the word
you're looking for.

We just have to get
the tarp off, take a picture,

and get back to
the Rustbucket.

Wait!

Don't worry,

I'll do it very quietly.

Ta-da!

Get your camera ready,
Gwen!

Hmm.
The sweet spot!

Sweetness achieved!
Snap your picture, Gwendolyn!

[ Toilet flushes ]

That was a close one.

It sure was, little guy!

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

Aah!
Ben!

[ Gasps ] Oh!

[ Wood creaking, snapping ]

Ohh, thank goodness
you're here!

You can talk?!

And that's not all!

[ Slow-tempo music plays ]
Whoa! Are you --
are you gonna sing?

This is amazing!

I thought we were
trying to be quiet?

♪ I was once
a majestic beast ♪

♪ Till I was cursed

♪ And, well,
that's why I look this way ♪

A jealous wizard, huh?

Naturally! Sometimes,
when you're flying too high,

other people just have to
bring you down to their level.

I'm sure you can relate.

♪ Come on, now, children ♪

♪ Set me free ♪

But how can we help?

Well, that's easy!

All you gotta do is get me
out of the valley

before the sun comes up.

I don't know.

Oh, come on.

I'm sure between
the two of you,

you can get me out
with time to spare!

You sure talk a lot
for a wooden bear.

♪ Come on, now, children ♪

♪ Set me free ♪

So are we done singing?

For now.

Ben, he's a prisoner!
We have to help him!

Yeah, Ben, listen to her.

I don't know, Gwen.

Please.
You said you'd help me.

Come on, kid, time
is of the essence here.

[ Trumpets ]

What is going on?

Uh, the same magic
that cursed me

makes those guys
my prison guards.

I can sing about it
if you want?

Forget it!

I'll take care
of these dusty relics!

Sounds good, kid.
Let's go other, kid!

[ Trumpets ]

[ Grunting ]

Huh?
[ Screaming ]

How's it do that
with those tiny arms?

[ Grunting ]

Man, I am "G" double "O" --
awesome!

[ Gasps ]
[ Chuckles nervously ]

Come on, Pretzel Pete --
use your words.

[ Clang! ]

[ Screams ]

I can see the edge of
the valley from here.

Just a little further --
the sun.

I'm worried about Ben.

If we can get out of the valley
before the sun comes up,

I'll be free, and we can
come back and help him.

Trust me.

Whoa! Seriously?!
You again?

[ Yelps ]

[ Groans ] Whimper.

My work is done here.

Oh, no! The mascots --
they're alive?!

They're after Yawk.
My cousin's helping him escape.

Yawk is alive?!
That's not good!

I wouldn't go that far.

I mean, his act
is a little hokey.

No, look!

Ya, I'm not really
a "read stuff" guy.

Ugh. Our most imposing statue
is called Yawk,

short for, Yawkwawi,

the "stiff-legged bears"
of local legend.

Oh, yeah, he said
his name was Yawkwawi,

but we could call him Yawk
'cause we're friends.

Stiff-legged bears
aren't your friends,

unless your friends
eat you!
Eat you?!

"If Yawk ever escaped
from the valley,

he'd transform back
into a frightening monster,

but until then he's here
for fun and pictures!"

We have to stop him!
How?

[ Speaks
alien language ]

[ Plonk! ]

Just a little further!

After years of posing
with tourists as they

stopped off to take
their stupid pictures,

it'll be my turn to travel.

We're getting closer!

Yeah, but the sun
is coming up pretty quick.

I don't know if we're
gonna make it in time.

Maybe it would help
if you stopped talking

and started moving!

I'm sorry, Gwen.
It's just been so long,

and -- and we're so,
so close.

Well, maybe we'll find something
helpful in the brochure.

Oh, if you climb to
the top of one of the spires,

then you'd technically
be out of the valley, right?

Let's go!

[ Laughing ]

Freedom!

You've been so helpful,

I'm almost ashamed to ask

for one more flavor --

uh, I mean favor.

What do you need?!

You -- in my stomach!

What?!

[ Screaming ]

It's been centuries
since I've felt such power!

[ Growls ]

[ Grunts ]

I believed in you.

You sang and everything.

Oh, well, I would say
live and learn,

but it wouldn't do you
much good now.

[ Laughs evilly ]

Incoming!

[ All grunting ]

Allen!

Ben?!

Gwen,
you're not eaten!

We were just about
to have breakfast.

Care to join us?!

You're not gonna get
away with it, Yawk!

We read all about
your legend in the brochure!

That's what I love
about you humans!

No one reads the fine print.

Oh, children, I just don't know
how to express my gratitude!

♪ I'm flyin' so high ♪

There's no way I'm coming down

There's a wide world out there

Just waitin' for me

You should have
thought it through

Hey!

Probably not your best decision

[ Screams ]

But, congratulations, children!

[ Laughs evilly ]

You set me free.

That's it, Yawk!

I've been waiting
to punch you

since that first
musical number.

Whoa!

Back off, singing,
people-eating, lying creep!

[ Growling ]

[ Grunting ]

This fight's over, kid.

I'm only getting stronger
and hungrier.

Well, you're going to bed
hungry tonight!

[ Grunts ] Whoa!

-Aah!
-Aah!

I was hoping for fresh meat.

[ Both scream ]

But I'll settle for pancakes.

Gwen, Lenny!

[ Screaming ]

I don't think I can
get back up there in time!

I can jump high,
but that's like a thousand feet!

Maybe it doesn't
have to be!

Thank you for my freedom,
children.

You hold tight, now!

Running is just going
to make you gamey.

The distinctive
sandstone spires

rise more than one hundred feet
above the cliffs of the valley.

What?

Make that !

[ Rumbling ]

, , , !

No! Stop!

What's taking
the sun so long?

[ Growls ]

Come on, come on!

I am very open to
suggestions right now!

Thanks for all your help,
kiddos!

I am Yawkwawi --
devourer of fools!

I almost feel sorry
for you,

if I was a sucker!

If he doesn't watch out,

he's going to knock
that whole thing over.

Keep him talking, Ben!

What was that?!

I said I almost feel --
whoa!

The sun! Oh!
It's so close!

I am the Yawkwawi!

I am -- oh, sh**t.
[ Wood creaking ]

[ Vacuum whirs ]

[ Speaking
alien language ]

Good as new!
Come on, Gwen.

Say, cheese!
Cheese! Cheese!

Oh, there you kids are!
Wow, that's Yawk?

We got the photo
we needed!

Now we can finally get
that cool Mascot Run T-shirt!

Oh, the town discontinued
those after last year.

It says so
in the brochure.

Of course --
the brochure.

We did it.
We did it.
