(Feet stomping)

All right, wizard pablo.

Ready to practice our magic spells?

Ready, wizard tyrone.

Let's try the flying hat spell.

Okay.

So first we chant the magic words...

And then we wave our magic wands...

And hopefully the hats will fly onto our heads.

Well, here goes nothing.

&Quot;bim sala-boom and a loaf of bread!&Quot;

&Quot;hat fly up upon my head!&Quot;

Both: uh oh.

Look out!

Whoa!

(Bottles clanking)

(Hats whooshing)

Whoa!

(Giggles) whoa!

Ah!

(Whooshing stops)

Phew.

Hey! That's not my head!

It certainly isn't.

Aw, man.

Why can't we get any magic spells right?

Being a wizard is hard work, pablo.

It takes lots of practice.

Hello?

Wizards! Come quick!

Both: queen uniqua?

Why is the queen calling us?

I don't know, she never calls us.

That's weird.

Maybe it's the wrong number.

Uniqua: silence!

Both: yes queen uniqua.

Listen up, wizards.

I need you to come to my castle -

Now!

Both: yes queen uniqua!

What could the queen need us for?

I don't know, but we better hurry.

Wanna try a magic spell to get us to the castle?

Okay. Here goes nothing.

&Quot;a bistle, a bustle a tissle, a tassle!&Quot;

&Quot;send us to the castle!&Quot;

(Poof)

Pablo: hmmm. This isn't exactly what I had in mind.

Tyrone: nope.

Maybe we should have walked.

Yeah, maybe we should have.

(Straggling grunts)

Both: your majesty.

What took you so long?!

Well, we tried this spell...

Funny story, actually, we ended up on...

Never mind! It's not important!

Yes queen uniqua. Not important.

Good point. We're getting carried away.

Silence!

Listen up, wizards

Something terrible has happened.

There is...

A giant in my kingdom.

Yooo-hoooo!

That's a big giant.

It certainly is.

Yes,

And it's up to you to get rid of her.

Both: us?

Yes, you!

It's almost time for my royal nap,

And I simply cannot sleep with a giant stomping about.

But...

But...

No buts!

Get rid of that giant!

Both: yes queen uniqua.

Now!

Both: yes queen uniqua.

♪♪

Tasha: ♪ la dee da. La dee da de da ♪

This is bad!

I know.

We don't know how to get rid of a giant.

I know.

But if we don't do it, the queen will be mad.

I know.

Why do you keep saying that?

I don't know.

Why haven't you wizards left yet?

Go!

Both: yes queen uniqua!

♪♪

(Panting)

Pablo: it'll take forever to walk to the mountains.

Wanna fly?

Really?

You wanna try that crazy flying spell?

How'd that go again?

I think we point our wands at the ground.

Oh, right.

And then we say...

&Quot;fippity foopity pecan pie!&Quot;

&Quot;magic wands, make us fly!&Quot;

Both: whoa!

Ahhhhh!

Pablo: we're going too high!

Tyrone: turn it around!

(Power shorting out)

Both: huh?

Uh oh.

Spell's over.

Aaaaahhhh!

(Pained grunts)

(Landing thud) oof.

(Huffs)

That was quite a ride.

Yeah.

Let's take a rest on this big red rock.

Good idea.

This is a strange rock.

It certainly is.

Uh... P-p-pablo?

Yeah?

This is not a rock.

You see that?

That's my royal yawn!

Which means I'm royally tired

And I need to take my royal nap.

Both: yes queen uniqua.

So you better quit your horsin' around

And get rid of that giant.

Because if you don't get rid of her,

Then I'll get rid of you!

Both: yes, queen uniqua.

&Quot;no more horses, cows or lizards!&Quot;

What other magic spells do we know?

The only other one I know

Is the "same size spell.&Quot;

The same size spell?

Are you crazy?!

That's the hardest spell ever!

Tasha: yoo-hoo!

I know, but we have to try it.

Well, here goes nothing.

&Quot;surprise! Surprise! Surprise!&Quot;

Both: "make us all the exact same size!&Quot;

Tyrone: it's working!

Now just steer the bubbles up to the giant!

And when the bubbles hit the giant

She'll be the same size as us?

Tyrone: exactly!

Oh my! Itty bitty bubbles!

I love blowing bubbles.

(Laughs)

(Inhales, blows)

(Claps) yay! Bubbles!

Run! Run!

She's going to get us!

Tasha: tag! You're it!

(Laughs)

Tag?

Yoo-hoo! Come and get me!

I guess she's not gonna squish us.

Or eat us.

She just wants to play with us.

That sounds kinda fun.

But tyrone, what about the queen?

She'll be awfully mad

If she catches us playing with the giant.

Hmm. That's true.

But I have an idea.

(Whispering)

At last... Peace and quiet!

(Thumping, rumbling)

(Sighs) never mind.

(Gasps)

Both: hi, queen uniqua.

More giants!

(Thumping)

Uniqua: hey!

Put me down!

I order you to put me down!

I told you to get rid of the giant,

Not make more giants!

Ooh. Look at the itty bitty queen!

What kind of wizards are you, anyway?

Tyrone: we're good wizards.

Watch this!

Ready giant wizard pablo?

Ready giant wizard tyrone!

Both: "surprise! Surprise! Surprise!&Quot;

&Quot;make us all the exact same size!&Quot;

Huh?

Pablo: tyrone, we did it!
