F[cheerful melodic music]




[Peaceful music]

Look.

The sun's going down, weenie.

It's almost time for the fireflies to come out.

Ruff

If we catch one, we can make a wish

And get anything in the world that we want.

Rawr-ruff

So keep your eyes open.

[Birds chirping]

I don't see anything yet, girl.

Ruff, ruff!

[Gasps] a firefly.

Where did it go?

Ruff

There it is.



[Music stops]

Where did it go?



Ruff, ruff

There it is.

Ruff

Oh.

There's another firefly,

And another,

[Giggles] and another.

Ruff, ruff!

Wow.

Oh, boy, weenie,

We'll have no trouble catching a firefly now.

Ruff

[Cheerful music]



[Steve] I'll catch this one.

And I'll catch this one.

Whoa! [Both]thud

[Lasso whipping]

I gotcha now, blinky.



[Laughs]

Well, bust my buttons.

[Lasso whirling]

Oops, almost.

[Fountain trickling]

Gotcha!

Oof.

Splash

Whoops!

Rawr-ruff

Whew!

[Water rushing]

[Sighs] oh, it's no use, weenie.

We'll never catch a firefly.

[Whimpers]

[Wings fluttering]

[Friendly] ruff, ruff

Hmm?

[Gasps]

[Whispering] oh, my gosh,

That's the biggest firefly of all.

Don't move, weenie.



There you go, big fella.

This lid has plenty of holes, so you'll get lots of fresh air.

[Pondering music]



Dong

Ding



We did it, weenie.

We caught the biggest firefly of all.

Now we can make the biggest wish.

Rawr-rawr, rawr-ruff

Ruff, ruff

It has to be something we want more than anything.

[Door creaks]

Now, what should we wish for, weenie?

Rrrawr-ruff

Hmm.

Oh, there are so many things we could have,

I just can't decide.

[Tick-tocking]

Boy, it's getting late.

[Yawns]

[Yawns] rrawrr

Maybe a good night's sleep

Will help us decide what we want.

Ruff

[Calm melodic music]



Good night, big fella.



Good night, weenie.

Ruff

[Sighs]

[Softly] what should we wish for?

What should we wish for?

[Yawns]



[Wings fluttering]

[Alarm ringing]

[Yawns]

Good morning, weenie.

[Yawns] rrrawr-ruff

Good morning, big fella.

[Pitter-pattering]

Gee, weenie, I still don't know what to wish for.

Ruff

Hmmm.

Hey!

We could wish for a brand-new piano.

♪ Plink, plink, plink, plink

But I like our old piano.

Rruff

Or...

We could wish for a brand-new umbrella.

[Pondering music]

But I kind of like this old, crooked, polka-dot umbrella.

Ruff!

[Pants] ruff!

Gee, weenie, I don't want anything new.

I'm happy with what we already have.

Hmm.

Let's go have breakfast at the big diner

And think about what to wish for.

Ruff



[Engines rattling]

[Horns tooting]

Mmm, that was delicious.

Rawr-ruff

But I still don't know what we should wish for.

Hi, henry.

Hello, oswald.

Hello, weenie.

Ruff, ruff

What have you got there?

It's a firefly.

Hmmm, that's a beauty.

What are you going to wish for, oswald?

I don't know, henry.

If you had one big wish, what would you wish for?

If it were me...

I'd wish for...

Fish.

Fish?

Yes, all kinds of fish:

Mackerel, flounder, salmon, trout, and yes, even pike.

Gee, that sounds awfully good,

But it's not really what we want.

Is it, girl?

Ruff

Fish sticks, fish cakes, fish chowder, fish wellington,

Fish-and-chips, fish in a blanket--

[Chuckles] well, good-bye, henry.

And with plenty of tartar sauce, please!

[Mumbling gibberish]



Dong

Ding

Dong



Hey, oswald.

Hi, daisy.

What do you got in the jar?

It's a firefly.

Golly-tamale, oswald, what are you going to wish for?

I don't know, daisy.

If you had one big wish, what would you wish for?

That's easy.

If it were me,

I'd wish for the biggest pogo stick in the world,

So I could bounce--boing

Bboing--

Bounce--boing

All the way up to... Big alarm clock.

Wheee!

Wheee!

Whoa!

Oh!

Gee, that sounds exciting, daisy,

But it's not really what we want.

Is it, girl?

Arrr-ruff

Thanks anyway, daisy.

Good luck, you lucky duck.

Gee, weenie, it's really hard to think of the biggest wish.

Ruff

My, my,

What do you have there,oswald?

Yes, yes, what?

Hi, egbert.

Hi, leo.

It's a firefly.

[Gasps]egad!

Well, what are you going to wish for, oswald?

Yes, yes,

You simply have to make a wish, old boy.

But I can't decide.

If you had one big wish, what would you wish for?

Why, if it were me, I'd wish for another wish.

Yes, yes,

And then I'dwish for another wish.

Oh, and then I'd wish for two wishes.

And then three wishes.

[Laughing]

We'd never run out of wishes.

[Both] whoa!

Oof! Oohh!

Gee, that's a good idea,

But we don't even know what to do with one wish.

Do we, girl?

Ruff

Thanks anyway, fellas.

Mm-hmm, well,

Good luck, oswald.

Yes, yes, happy wishing.

♪ What should we wish for?

♪ What's our desire?

♪ To have wings like a bird and fly higher and higher? ♪

♪ A big house filled with ice cream and candy and cake? ♪

♪ But then we'd wind up with two big bellyaches. ♪

♪ Oh, what should we wish for?

♪ It's tricky, indeed.

♪ There are so many things that we really don't need. ♪

[Unicycle rattling]

[Crickets chirping]

Oh, weenie,

I just don't know what to wish for.

[Whimpers]

Say, that's funny.

It's getting dark,

But there are no fireflies anywhere.

Oswald, what happened to all the fireflies?

Yeah, there were gazillions of them last night,

And now, nothing.

Oh, I sure miss those little critters.

Now I know what to wish for, weenie.

Ruff, ruff!

I wish all the fireflies would come back.

[Peaceful music]



Oh, my gosh.

Ruff, ruff

[Together] oooh!

That is amazing.

Gosh, weenie,

I couldn't have wished for anything better.

Rawrr

Rararr-ruff

Bye, big fella.



[Birds cheeping]

[Stretchy yawn]

[Snoring]

[Daisy distantly] hey, oswald!

Ruff?

[Snorts]

Did you hear something, girl?

Ruff?

Hey, oswald!

It sounds like daisy.

[Stretching]

I wonder why she's here so early.

Oh, my gosh, look what time it is!

We're late for breakfast.

[Yawns]

Good morning, daisy.

What's up, sleepyhead?

You and henry were supposed to meet me for breakfast.

I know.

I guess I didn't hear big alarm clock ring.



[Knocks on door]

Henry?

[Door creaks]

[Yawns]

Good morning, everyone.

What are you all doing up so early?

It's not that early, henry.

It's already : .

It is?

Great scott, I overslept.

I guess I didn't hear big alarm clock ring.

We'd better hurry if we want to get breakfast at the big diner.

Don't worry, I just need a moment to get ready.

[Head squeaking]

Okay, I'm ready.

[Door creaks and clicks]

[Cheerful melodic music]

[Oswald] gee, I wonder why we didn't hear big alarm clock ring.

Well, I always get up with the sun,

But now that you mention it,

I didn't hear big alarm clock ring, either.

Just a minute, oswald.

I want to pick up a copy of the big city bugle.

[Knocking on door]

Hey, what's going on here?

Bingo, are you in there?

Maybe he's still asleep,henry.

Well, this is a fine state of affairs.

How am I supposed to have breakfast

Without my daily newspaper?

Hmmph!

Gee, the streets are empty.

Where is everybody?

[Curious music]

Dong



Ding



Dong



The door's locked.

Hello?

Madame butterfly?

There's no one inside.

Madame butterfly must be asleep.

No breakfast, no newspaper-- what goes on here?

[Distant snoring]

Hey, somebody's snoring over there.

[Snores echoing]

And over there.

[Snoring gets louder]

And over there.

[Snoring gets louder]

Wow, it sounds like everyone in big city is still asleep.

I guess they didn't hear big alarm clock ring, either.

Hey, you know what?

Maybe big alarm clock didn't ring.

[Gasps] golly-tamale,

Do you think it's broken, oswald?

Let's check it out.

[Cheerful melodic music]

Oh, my gosh, look.

Has big alarm clock stopped?

Well, it's not telling the right time.

No wonder it didn't ring.

Jiminy-skiminy,

If someone doesn't fix the clock,

Everyone in big city will keep sleeping.

And we'll never get breakfast.

Maybe I can fix it.

Come on, girl.

Ruff?

[Doorknob clicking]

We can't get in that way.

Hmm,

If you had a ladder, oswald,

You could climb up to the clock.

Hey, I know where there's a big ladder.

Come on, girl.

[Easy-going music]



[Ignition turning]

[Bell clanging]

[Engine sputtering]



Now, that's a big ladder.



We'll crank you up to the roof, oswald.

Crank it slowly, now, not too fast.

Slow and steady, that's my motto.

♪ Our clock is sick, no tock nor tick. ♪

♪ We'll have to fix it double-quick. ♪

♪ With no alarm to make a peep, ♪

♪ Big city's fallen fast asleep. ♪

♪ We'll try to mend our quiet friend ♪

♪ And make that clock tock-tick, tick-tock again, ♪

♪ So all around, a ringing sound will wake this sleepy town. ♪



Here we are, weenie.

Wow!

Look at all these wheels and gears.

Grrrr-rawr-ruff

Gee, I don't know where to start.

Well, this is the biggest wheel.

Maybe if I turn it--

[Grunts and groans]

Something's stuck, weenie.

Ruff, rawrr-ruff!

Ah, good idea, girl.

I can tighten up all the loose bolts.

[Bolts ratcheting]

I'd better tighten those bolts too.

[Groans]

Hmm.

How am I going to reach them?

Ting!

I know.

[Ratcheting]

There.

Whew!

Okay, let's try it now.

Rrruff!

[Grunting]

Hmm.

Rawr

Rawrr-ruff, ruff

A-ha!

I bet that spring popped loose.

[Spring jingling]

But where does it go?

Maybe it fits in here.

[Grunting]

Spring!

Catch it, weenie.

[Boinging]

Rrawr-rawr-ruff!

[Boinging]

Well, it doesn't fit there.

Rrr-arrarr

Hmm, maybe it fits down here.

[Boinging]

[Grunting]

I know.

Ha-ha!

Boing!

Whoa!

[Boinging]

Ooof!

[Laughs]

[Boinging]

It fits.

Now the wheels should turn.

[Echoey creaking]

[Echoey snoring]

What's that noise, girl?

Ruff?

[Echoey snoring]

[Gasps]

It's a squirrel.

This is where it built its nest for the winter.

Rrr-ru-ruff

[Acorns rattling]

E-e-excuse me.

Would you mind if we moved your acorns somewhere else?

They're stopping the clock.

[Cheerfully squeaking]

[Rattling]

There.

They'll be good and safe here.

[Squeaking]

[Echoey creaking]

[Gears chugging]

[Ticking]

It's ticking!

[Creaking and ticking]

Rawrr-ruff

Now let's ring the alarm.

[Ticking]

[Door creaks]

Oh, um, would you birds mind sitting somewhere else?

I have to ring the alarm.

[Chirping]

[Anticipating music]



[Groans]

[Safety line zipping]



[Grunts]

There.

[Ticking]

Any second now.

[Ticking]

Bbrrring!

[Rumbling]

[Shakily] we did it, girl!

[Shakily] r-r-r-rawr-rawr, ruff!

[Alarm ringing]

[Cheerful melodic music]



Look, weenie.

Everyone's awake.

Rarr-ruff

Now all we have to do is set the right time.

Oh, henry!

Yes, oswald?

What time is it?

It's exactly... : .

Thanks, henry.

[Pole clanks]

[Creaking and cranking]

A little more...

A little more...

Perfect.

[Tick-tocking]

There, it's all fixed.

Ruff, rawr-ruff



Slow and steady now, slow and steady.

[Ladder cranking]

Hooray, oswald!

[Cheers and applause]

That was wonderful!

Thank you, thank you.

Whoa!

Ruff, ruff!

You did it, oswald.

Thanks to you, big city is wide awake.

Nice going, buddy boy.

Hey!

Time for breakfast.

[All cheering] yay, all right, whoo-hoo!

Rawr-ruff!
