[narrator] Our story begins
in a time long, long ago...
deep in an enchanted forest
on the distant moon of Endor.
[man] Cindel!
[man] Mace!
[woman] Cindel!
Mace, can you hear me?
Cindel! Mace!
-Did you find them?
-No. Not a sign.
Every day since the crash,
you’ve told them not to leave the ship.
I've told them too.
I knew we shouldn’t have left them alone,
not even for a minute,
just to go find that transmitter.
They’re only little kids.
They won’t know what to do.
-They don’t even know where we are.
-I’ll check the cruiser again.
Oh, Jeremitt, what’s happened to them?
I told them not to leave the ship.
Mace!
Please, Mace. We’re not mad at you!
Catarine, look.
[gasps] Cindel’s jacket.
I hope she’s kept her life monitor on.
Where are those two?
We’ll find them. We’ll find them.
[roars]
[Catarine screams]
[roars]
[Ewoks chattering]
[blows horn]
[speaking Ewokese]
[narrator]
In an Ewok village on the moon of Endor...
Deej tries to summon two of his sons...
who went into the woods
and have not returned.
-[Ewokese]
-He fears they may be lost.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Shodu.
Shodu. [Ewokese]
Deej, Shodu. Deej.
[both speaking Ewokese]
[sighs] Deej.
Yubnub, yubnub.
-Yeha.
-Yeha, Shodu.
[singing in Ewokese]
[narrator] Deej will use his skin glider
to search for his missing sons.
[singing in Ewokese]
Deej. [Ewokese]
[chuckling]
[sighs] [Ewokese]
[narrator] Wicket, the youngest,
is told he must stay behind.
[Ewokese] Shodu.
-Acha?
-Acha.
Gunda, Wicket. Gunda.
-[chuckling]
-[scoffs] Feech.
[Ewokese]
-Wicket! [Ewokese]
-Hmm?
[Wicket speaking Ewokese]
[yelling]
Yeha, Wicket.
Yeha.
[narrator] Deej sees a strange
shining object in the trees below.
[grumbles]
[narrator]
But anxious to find his missing children,
he continues the search.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Widdle! Weechee!
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Widdle. Weechee. Tyatee.
[grunting]
Gunda!
[yells]
-[grunts]
-[speaking Ewokese]
-Feech.
-[Ewokese]
-[Ewokese]
-[arguing in Ewokese]
Tyatee. Tyatee!
[Ewokese]
[narrator] On their way home,
the inquisitive Ewoks...
decide to investigate the strange object
Deej spotted from the sky.
[Ewokese]
[all speaking Ewokese]
[Ewokese] Tyatee, Weech. Widdle!
Hmm.
[Ewokese]
-[coughing]
-[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
[coughing]
-[gasps]
-[Ewokese]
-[Ewokese]
-[coughing]
Gunda beecha. Gunda.
Acha, beecha, acha.
Deej!
[Ewokese]
Get your hands off her!
No, Mace, no!
-Be quiet, Cindel.
-They weren’t hurting me.
These might be the guys
who have Mom and Dad.
I think they wanna be our friends.
Get your hands off her now!
That’s it, mop-face!
Don’t hurt him. He’s my brother.
Hey, you guys can’t keep me down.
[Ewokese]
-Wicket!
-[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
-Deej.
-Shodu.
Lurdo.
Tyatee.
-Shodu.
-[Ewokese]
Gunda. Gunda!
-[coughing]
-[Ewokese]
Cindel, are you okay?
Mace, I don’t feel good.
Maybe you’re just hungry.
You know, we haven’t eaten for a while.
Do you-- Do you guys have anything to eat?
Kush?
Any food?
Food. Eat, eat.
Food. Eat, eat. Food.
-Chak.
-Uh-huh.
Come on, Cindel. You gotta eat something.
I’m not hungry. I just feel bad.
[Cindel coughing]
I don’t feel so good.
Cindel, are you okay?
-Cindel!
-[Ewoks murmuring]
Cindel. Cindel! Cindel, can you hear me?
I wish Dad was here. He’d know what to do.
Dad?
We don’t need any more food.
-We don’t need any more.
-[Ewokese]
-It’s medicine?
-Chak.
Gunda. Gunda.
I sure hope this works.
Come on, Cindel. You gotta be all right.
Beecha.
[both speaking Ewokese]
Cindel, please.
[chattering in Ewokese]
I want Mommy. Where’s Mommy?
Take it easy.
Just-- Just get some rest now.
We’ll worry about finding Mommy
after you’re all better.
[Ewokese]
[neighs]
Widdle! Weechee!
[screams]
Feech.
[coughing]
[Cindel continues coughing]
-[Ewokese]
-I want my mommy.
[scoffs] Lurdo!
Mace.
Hey, Sis. How are you feeling?
Feeling a lot better?
It hurts, Mace.
-Hurts? What hurts?
-Everything.
I wish Mommy was here,
and she’d take care of me.
Don’t worry.
I’ll take care of you, Cindel.
Mommy’s just not here right now.
Mommy and Daddy, where did they go, Mace?
Why did they leave us?
I don’t know.
[coughing]
-Where’s the medicine?
-Medicine?
-We need some more medicine.
-Medicine.
Mace, help me.
Hold on, Cindel. We need more medicine.
She needs more medicine.
-Look at her. We need some more medicine.
-Kush jeeks?
We need more medicine.
We need more of this.
-You’re out?
-Den! Den! Den!
Can we go get some more? She’s sick.
I feel so hot.
Hold on, Sis.
-Tyatee!
-Me? You want me to go?
We’re gonna get you some more medicine.
Then you’ll feel better. Okay?
Please. It hurts.
Come on. Let’s go.
[narrator] One tree in the primeval forest
contains a special fluid
which only Ewoks know.
They have used it for generations
to cure their ills.
Tyatee.
Ah, gunda. [continues in Ewokese]
[chittering]
[chittering]
Oh! Help!
-Help!
-Tyatee!
Help me!
Help!
Help!
[roaring]
Lurdo!
-Thank you.
-[scoffs]
I feel really sicky.
Don’t worry, Sis.
We got you some more medicine.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Yeah, sick.
Hmm, sick.
[Ewokese]
[Mace] Here, Cindel. See?
Everything’s gonna be all right.
[coughing]
[Ewokese]
Don’t worry.
We got you enough medicine now
to make you feel well.
I feel a little better already.
-Good.
-[Ewokese]
It’s okay. Don’t-- Don’t worry about me.
The thing
in that tree didn’t hurt me that bad.
Acha.
Just take care of my sister.
[groans]
[birds twittering]
[Ewokese]
[hisses]
-[Ewokese]
-Furry.
-Kush?
-Furry. Furry.
-Hmm. Furries?
-Yeah.
I wish we had furry creatures like you
where I came from.
Furries?
We came on a Starcruiser and we crashed.
We crashed? Starcruiser?
-[Cindel giggles]
-Starcruiser?
That’s it. Starcruiser.
Starcruiser?
Starcruiser.
And it crashed.
Crashed?
Crashed.
Starcruiser crashed.
Yeah, that’s it.
Don’t you have a Starcruiser?
Starcruiser?
Hmm.
[speaking Ewokese] Starcruiser. Whee!
-Crash! Crash! Crash!
-That’s not a Starcruiser.
That’s a horse.
[making airplane noises
and crashing noise]
-Horses don’t fly.
-Fly?
[yawns]
-Good morning.
-Good morning, Mace.
-Sis, you look a lot better this morning.
-I feel much better.
What were you guys talking about?
About the Starcruiser and the crash.
Come on, Cindel. Get an IQ. He can’t talk.
-He can talk.
-Talk. Talk.
Starcruiser.
[making airplane noises]
Crash! Crash! Crash!
See?
Listen. As soon as I get my g*n,
we’re history. We’re out of this place.
Why can’t we stay here with them?
Stay here with these walking hairbrushes?
Come on, Cindel. They’re animals.
No, they’re not. I like ’em.
Star crash. Cruiser fly.
[sighs]
[roaring]
[birds squawking]
[snoring]
[snorts]
Come on, Cindel. Let’s go.
We gotta go find Mom and Dad.
-I don’t wanna go.
-Come on, Cindel.
[snoring continues]
Come on, Sis. We’re almost there.
Mace, we’re lost.
Lost? We’re not lost.
It’s right up there. I know it.
Please, can we rest? I’m tired.
I guess so. But I’d better build a fire.
Don’t wanna catch cold.
-Mace.
-Yeah?
Do you ever miss Mommy and Daddy?
Of course I do.
Then why don’t you talk about them then?
’Cause I don’t wanna make you feel bad.
I miss them a lot.
So do I.
I know I’ve been a lot of trouble,
and I know Dad got
really mad at me a couple times...
I just wish I would have
never done anything wrong.
I wish I had been
the best kid there ever was.
I just wish...
now I could tell them how I feel.
Tell them I love them.
If we just wouldn’t have left there...
left the cruiser...
maybe everything would be all right.
Maybe if we would have done
what they told us to do...
maybe everything would be
just like it was.
Maybe they would still be alive.
They are not dead!
I told you. They are not dead.
But it’s been so long.
Well, maybe they just got lost, or maybe--
maybe it’s a long way to go get help.
Just don’t worry.
We’ll stay in the Starcruiser until--
until they get back.
I will protect you. I will be Mom and Dad.
[clattering]
Did you hear that?
-[growling]
-Let’s get outta here!
[creature roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roaring]
Go on! Get out!
[Cindel screaming]
[Cindel screaming]
[roars]
[growling fades]
Is it gone?
Yeah, I think so.
But we better spend the night.
Just get some rest. Just get some rest.
-[Ewoks chattering]
-[creature growling]
[yelling]
-[creature roars]
-[Ewoks chattering]
[yelling]
Tyatee. Tyatee.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Hey, Cindel, look!
Mace, that’s Daddy’s life monitor.
Mommy and Daddy are alive!
I told you. But where are they and why--
Why is this on this-- this thing?
-[Ewokese]
-What is this?
-Where did it come from?
-Kush?
[Ewokese] Gorax.
[narrator]
Mace must find the master of the beast...
if they are ever to rejoin their parents.
[chittering]
Life monitor still works,
so at least we know
that Dad’s still alive.
We just gotta figure out how to find them.
Don’t worry. Don’t worry.
Do you know
what they’re probably doing right now?
They’re probably sitting somewhere
just like we are...
thinking about us, missing us.
How are we gonna find them?
-We will. Don’t worry.
-But when?
Right now.
-Kush?
-Where did that animal come from?
Where does it live?
Someone must know where that came from.
Someone must be able to help us.
Chak, Chak. Logray. Chak.
"Logray"? What is that?
[both] Logray. Logray.
[narrator] Logray, the village mystic,
is as old as the trees.
And he has the power
to find the lost parents.
[purring]
[reciting incantation in Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Be careful with that.
[Mace] That’s Dad!
Where is that? What is it?
[gasps] That’s Mommy and Daddy.
[Mace] What’s that?
It looks like a monster
or something real big!
Where is it? Where is it?
If we don’t help them, they’re gonna die.
[moaning]
Please help us. They’re gonna die.
I want my mommy and daddy.
[sobbing]
Deej. Deej. [Ewokese]
[narrator] The Ewoks know that the mother
and father of the children...
are being held c*ptive
by the dreaded giant Gorax.
And they know also
that the giant Gorax lives in a land
from which no Ewok has ever returned.
[Ewokese]
Deej. [Ewokese]
Hmm. Chak.
We help you.
Yubnub, yubnub, Gunda, yubnub.
Gorax.
[snoring]
Gunda Wicket.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
[sobbing]
[cooing]
Shodu?
Tyatee, Shodu. Tyatee.
Acha. Acha.
Don’t worry, Mom and Dad.
We’re coming.
[narrator] All the Ewok villagers helped
load supplies for the long journey.
Tyatee! Tyatee!
-Logray.
-Tyatee, Deej. Tyatee.
Wicket, Widdle, Weechee. [Ewokese]
[narrator] The adventurers gather
for a traditional Ewok ceremony.
Before they depart,
Logray must bestow upon them
the sacred totems
of the legendary Ewok warriors.
[Ewokese]
[narrator] Deej, as leader,
is presented with the white wings of hope.
The red wings of courage are given
to the eldest son, Weechee.
Wicket receives a magic walking stick.
While the blue wings of strength
go to his brother, Widdle.
Cindel, the candle of pure light.
This must be mine.
[Logray] Eh!
[Logray speaking Ewokese]
-I don’t want a rock.
-Chak. Chak. Chak.
[narrator]
The crystal and the ivory tooth.
Who are those for?
[narrator] These are
for other Ewoks who must be found
and persuaded to join the caravan.
Without them, the travelers
can never cross
the vast expanses of the Endor moon.
[Ewokese]
Yeha, Logray.
Yeha, Deej.
A rock? These little bears are nuts.
It’s just another stupid rock.
[horse neighs]
Hi, Wicket. This is neat.
Which one’s my horse?
[Ewokese]
I don’t wanna get in there.
-[Ewokese]
-I do not wanna get in there.
That place is for kiddies.
-I’d rather walk.
-[mutters in Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
Tyatee!
[Ewoks cheering]
Come on, you guys.
This is a neat place.
[creaking]
What?
-[horse neighs]
-Cindel! Oh.
You’re okay.
[laughing]
You better watch out!
You nearly k*lled us!
I’m warning you.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese] Chukha-Trok.
[laughs] Chukha-Trok.
[Ewokese] Logray.
That’s his?
Does that mean he’s coming with us?
You gotta be kidding.
Tyatee, Chukha-Trok. [Ewokese]
Hey, wait one minute here.
You think we care if you’re coming or not?
Yeah, you might be big,
you might be strong,
but obviously you’re no warrior.
You’re scared. That’s what you are.
Watch this.
-[clears throat]
-[giggles]
[Ewokese]
-[laughing]
-[gasps]
Gunda, Chukha-Trok.
Boy, I’ve never seen anything
like that before.
Can I have the tooth?
Would you please come with us?
We need you.
[narrator] And so the ivory tooth
is returned to its rightful owner,
the brave woodsman, Chukha-Trok.
-[Chukha-Trok laughs]
-Yubnub, Chukha-Trok.
[narrator] He joins the caravan
on its journey to the forbidden land
of the giant Gorax.
[Chukha-Trok singing in Ewokese]
[Deej speaking Ewokese]
Why are we stopping?
-Why are we stopping?
-[Ewokese]
What’s that?
Hey, you’re wasting time.
[Ewokese] Kaink.
[Ewokese] Logray.
[narrator] The crystal belongs to Kaink,
the Ewok priestess.
But before she will join the caravan,
they must pass a magic test.
Tyatee. Tyatee.
[gasps] What the--
So what?
It turned into a lizard. Big deal.
I don’t think
these guys are gonna help us, Sis.
Come on. Let’s get outta here.
[Ewokese]
Could you please help us
find our mommy and daddy?
[narrator] Kaink then agrees to go.
The caravan is now complete.
[gurgling]
Here you go. Good one, Wicket.
[gurgling and yelling]
Help! Help!
Help! Help! My brother!
My brother fell in the water.
Please hurry! Help him!
[chattering in Ewokese]
[Cindel] Please hurry! Help him!
Wicket! Wicket!
Use the stick that the magic man gave you.
The stick! The stick!
Remember? Uh-huh, yeah.
What happened?
One minute, I was... I was right there.
The next, I was... I was under the water.
-Wicket saved you.
-I know it. Thanks.
[chuckling]
[giggling]
Come on, you guys.
It’s time to go. Let’s get moving.
-Get Wicket.
-Wicket!
-[branch snaps]
-[horse neighs]
Get on your horses!
We need to go after her!
-[horse neighs]
-Hyah! Hyah!
[Cindel screams]
[Cindel screams]
[Ewokese]
[horse neighs]
They’re here!
[Mace] They’re back!
You’re safe!
They’re here!
[Ewokese]
[Wicket yawning]
[Cindel] This sure is a good candle.
It never burns down.
Candle. Candle.
[chirping]
Did you see that?
[chirping]
[Ewokese]
[Mace] Wicket, come here!
Wisties! [Ewokese]
-[Mace] What are these things?
-Wisties. Wisties.
[clamoring]
[Ewoks] Wisties! Wisties!
Wisties. Wisties. Wisties. Wisties.
[Mace] Get away. Go! Get away!
-Get away! Get away! Stop!
-Wisties!
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese] Wisties.
[Ewokese]
-Weechee. [Ewokese]
-Oh!
Wisties, wisties. Huh?
[twittering]
Hey, look what I got.
It’s... It’s one of those lights.
It’s alive. It’s one of those lights.
Be careful with her.
Look, she’s dancing around like crazy.
Maybe she’s lost from her family.
Like us. All our families are split up.
Even Wicket’s.
His mom and his baby sister,
they’re way back there.
[sighs] You gave up a lot to help us.
You guys have become really good friends.
[snoring]
Mace, I’m really hungry.
I know, Cindel. I know.
But we’re really running low on food.
And I don’t know
how far we still have to go.
[Ewokese] Gunda.
Gunda.
-What’s this stuff?
-Gunda. Gunda.
[both giggling]
[twittering]
I wonder if she’s hungry.
I wonder what she eats.
I don’t know...
but maybe she’ll like Wicket’s food.
Here we go. Come on.
It tickles.
She’s tickling me!
[laughing]
Whoa!
I think she eats giggles.
She’s a giggle-eater!
[giggling continues]
[Ewokese]
[narrator]
The Ewoks crossed the Desert of Salma
a land of acid pools and dry lakes.
-[panting]
-[Ewokese]
[narrator] The dreaded,
forbidden fortress of the giant Gorax.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
There must be a way up there somehow.
Nothing here but rocks.
[Ewokese]
-What do you mean?
-[Ewokese]
Oh, my rock!
I threw it away.
Oh! Lurdo! Oh!
[Ewokese]
-What is it, Wicket?
-Rock. This rock.
The rock! You picked it up!
You saved it for me!
Thank you.
Ah, let’s see.
Now, what are we supposed
to do with it? [scoffs]
It’s just a... plain old stupid rock.
[Ewokese]
[rattling]
There’s something inside of it.
-What is it?
-I don’t know.
[Mace] This must be it.
There must be a cave behind that rock.
That’s impossible to move.
It must weigh tons!
Hey, give me my g*n. I can blast it away.
Acha, acha.
You’ve still got some power left,
don’t you?
[fizzles]
Come on.
You’ve got some power. Just a little.
[Ewokese]
I know this really looks scary here,
but this is what we’re all
gonna have to do to save Mom and Dad.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
What do you mean?
[Ewokese]
So you think
the little ones should stay here?
Chak. Here. Here.
Cindel, listen. I think he might be right.
Well, I’ll be scared without you.
Cindel, listen. Mommy and Daddy
would want you to be safe.
I think you should stay here.
[Ewokese]
[sighs]
[Ewokese]
I don’t want you to get hurt.
Not to worry. They’ll protect you.
-Acha beecha.
-Take care of her.
[Ewokese]
Don’t worry.
We’ll be okay.
-Take care of her.
-Yeha.
[Ewokese]
[Mace] Now what?
[Ewokese]
I think it’s okay. Come on.
It’s just like climbing a ladder sideways.
Aah!
[squeals]
[Ewokese]
Starcruiser.
-Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
-[giggles]
Star crash.
[giggles]
Come on! It’s okay. I made it. Come on!
Huh?
[shudders]
[squealing]
Watch out! Behind you!
Come on. Hurry up!
[Ewokese]
That was close. You guys are great!
Gunda.
Wicket, be careful!
[squeals]
[Ewokese]
-[distant roaring]
-Come on. Get out of sight!
[roaring]
[roars]
There’s my parents there in the cage.
There must be a way up there somehow.
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
[roaring]
Now, how are we gonna get my parents down?
[Ewokese]
[Ewokese]
I’m game.
[Dad] Mace?
Mace. It’s Mace.
Shh!
-What? What?
-Look.
Mace! Honey.
Jump.
Oh, Mace. I can’t believe it!
We gotta get out of here.
-What is that?
-He’s a friend.
Come on. Help him up.
-Hurry!
-[Mace] I’m going down first.
Mom, Dad, you follow.
Be careful, honey. Be careful.
Don’t worry. He’ll help me down.
-[roaring]
-[yelling]
[roaring]
[yells]
-Boy!
-[Jeremitt] Come on.
[Ewokese] Gorax! Gorax!
-Come on.
-Gorax!
-[screams]
-[roars]
Let’s go!
[Mace] Hurry! Hurry!
Let’s get out of here!
[Ewokese]
[roars]
[Ewokese]
Come on!
-Come on! Come on!
-[twittering]
[Ewokese]
Where’s Mace?
[distant roaring]
-Oh, no.
-Oh, God!
Mace! Mace!
[roars]
Go! Get him, Ezerina!
[roars]
Oh, no!
Come on!
Come on. You’ve gotta be all right.
He’s gonna be here.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You’ve gotta be all right!
Let’s go! He’s gonna come back!
Come on! Come on.
You can do it. You’re brave.
You’re strong. You’re my friend.
Friend.
[Ewokese]
Your a*?
No, this is your a*. You’re gonna need it.
You’re gonna need your a*.
I won’t take it. No.
No...
No, please don’t die! No!
[distant roaring]
Goodbye. Thank you.
-[roaring]
-[twittering]
Go!
Uh-oh.
[roars]
[Ewokese]
Oh, honey!
Mom! Dad!
We thought we’d lost you.
[Ewokese]
Chukha-Trok?
Yes, he’s dead.
He d*ed for all of us.
Chukha-Trok.
-Cindel!
-Come on, Mommy and Daddy!
We’re coming.
[roars]
[screams]
[roars]
He crashed.
-[Ewokese]
-Ohh!
Oh, Mace!
[laughs] Yubnub!
-We thought you were dead.
-Oh, darling!
We just thought
we weren’t gonna ever see you guys again.
Son, we’re very, very proud of you.
Dad.
-[laughs]
-[Ewokese]
-[whistling]
-Ezerina’s back.
-She’ll help us find our way back.
-That sounds good.
Let’s get out of here.
That’s not the worst idea I ever heard.
Well, I guess this is it.
I mean, you’ve probably got a family
somewhere else too.
Thanks for everything.
We really couldn’t have done it
without you.
Goodbye.
[traditional music]
-Catarine.
-Oh, thank you.
[Ewokese]
Oh! Why, thank you very much!
-[laughs]
-Gunda.
We are two...
very lucky fathers.
[laughs]
-Cindel.
-Wicket.
[Ewokese]
[narrator] Reunited, the families enjoy
the simple pleasures of being together.
Having learned something
they already knew,
that courage, loyalty and love
are the strongest forces in the universe.
