[Peter]
The Tale of the Missing Ducklings.

[rabbits laughing]

-[Lily] Ready?
-[Peter] Yeah!

Remember the last time we did this,
and we were like, "Zoom!"

And we missed that tree
and then we hit the rock

-and Benjamin was going…
-[all] Whoa!

[Peter] Keep pushing. Faster!

Can we jump on now?

[Lily] Not yet.

Now?

No.

-How about--
-Now!

Yikes!

[Peter laughing]

[trio cheering and laughing]

Oh, feathers and fluff!

We'll never get to the
shop and back at this rate.

[gasps]

Oh, deary me.

Oh, not again. Oh!

[Peter] Faster!

[rabbits scream]

Left! Right!

Duck!

No, I mean duck!

[Mrs. Puddleduck screams]

[rabbits scream]

[all grunt]

[Benjamin] Ouchie!

Oh, me, oh, my. Oh, is everyone all right?

-Uh-huh.
-Yes, thanks.

We're okay. Sorry we surprised you.

Oh, deary dear.

How will I ever get to the shops
if you keep wandering off, my darlings?

-[exclaims]
-Can we help?

Hmm? Why, yes, Lily Bobtail.
Yes, you can.

How about you look after my little ones
while I go to the shop?

-Um…
-Uh…

And be sure they take a nap.
They do like a good sleep.

Okay.

And remember to sing them a lullaby.

Whoa! Lullaby? I can do that.

And the water is there
and their grain is here.

[grunt]

And, most importantly,

make sure they don't play
outside in the woods.

I wouldn't want them to get lost.

Stay out of the woods.
You got it, Mrs. PuddleDuck.

We'll be fine.

How wonderful.

Um, maybe you should go
before the shop closes.

Oh, yes, indeedy. Goodbye.

[sighs]

Feed them, and make sure they nap,
and keep them out of the woods.

Ducklingsitting is a piece of cake.

Ah! I take it back.

This is not a piece of cake.

-[Lily] Come back here.
-[Benjamin] Help!

Sorry, a little busy. Sit, heel!

[all clamoring]

Oh, this is impossible. I give up.

A good rabbit never gives up, Benjamin.

Mrs. PuddleDuck said
they should take a nap.

Try singing a lullaby.

Okay.

[singing off-key]
♪ Once upon a time ♪

♪ There was a rabbit so strong ♪

♪ His name was Benjamin
And he was never wrong ♪

[chuckles] Very nice, Benjamin, er,
but perhaps Peter should have a try.

♪ Rest your head
It's time to sleep ♪

♪ Hush, hush, now
Don't make a peep ♪

♪ Close your eyes
And never fear ♪

♪ 'Cause when you wake up
I'll be here ♪

[all tweeting]

Well, that didn't work.

I don't know. It kind of did. Look.

[Benjamin snoring]

Benjamin. Benjamin! Wake up.

Tweet, tweet. Whoa! Where am I?

Benjamin, you can't sleep
when we're ducklingsitting.

Oops. [giggles] Sorry.

Why is it so quiet?

[Lily gasps]

Oh, no! The ducklings! They're gone!

We'll find them. Let's hop to it.

[Lily] Here, ducklings!

Ducklings! I can't see them anywhere.

[Benjamin] What are we gonna do?

Ducklings tweet to each other,
I know that for a fact.

So, maybe we should be
really quiet, and just listen.

[faint tweeting]

I can hear tweeting!

[shushing]

Sorry.

[gasps]

There. Eating the grain.

The others must have wandered off.
Let's take the grain.

If they're hungry,
it'll help us round them up.

Here, ducky ducklings!

Come and get some grain.

This is bad, very bad.

It's dangerous in the woods.

There's owls, and badgers,
and foxes, and…

[twig snaps]

Whoa!

What was that?

It was you, Benjamin.

Haha! I knew that.

[grunting]

Eating always calms me down.

[retches]

[tweeting]

There!

Stay here.

Got you.

-That's two.
-Is it?

Where's the first one?

Oh, no! He must have wandered off again.

We'll never find them all.

[tweeting]

Never say never, Benjamin. This way.

[Benjamin grunting]

There!

Oh!

[shushing]

Well, well, well, what have we here?

Not big enough for lunch,
but a small pre-dinner nibble at least.

And so much easier to catch than rabbits.

♪ Put a duckling in a pot ♪

That poor duckling.

Oh, this is bad, very bad.

I've got a plan.

But we'll need some help
from this little guy.

His tweets are going to save the day.

Oh, portions are definitely
getting smaller these days.

[tweeting]

Huh? What's that? Another duckling?

I'll have enough for lunch yet.

Be a good, little fellow
and wait here, would you?

[laughing]

[tweeting]

Yes!

Okay. Now let's make Mr. Tod follow us,

so Peter will have enough time
to save that poor duckling.

Rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave.

Aha!

[chuckling]

[tweeting]

Ah! There you are.

No!

[Peter] Duckling, come back!

-Huh?
-I'm trying to rescue you.

Hmm.

Sounds like someone's
trying to steal my snack.

[gasps] Peter Rabbit!

No duckling for lunch today, Mr. Tod.

[laughing]

Well, we'll see about that.

Ducklings followed by a rabbit pie
sounds rather yummy.

[laughing]

Two ducklings found, one more to find.

Let's hold on to them this time.

Tweet, tweet! Here, little duckling!

Tweet, tweet! Over here.

Just in case pocket, just in case.

What if the last duckling
isn't in the woods anymore?

I'm surprised your head isn't bigger,
because your brain is huge!

Ah, thanks.

Come on. Let's get that third duckling.

Oh, lost them again. Where are th…

[yelps]

Oh.

So that's where they went.

And they left their cart behind,
which means they'll be back.

And I'll be waiting.

[chuckling]

[spits]

How does anyone eat this stuff?

Oh, now you go to sleep.

Here, little duckling.

Not here.

No, not here, either.

When I grow up there is
no way I want to be a duck.

I have no idea
how Mrs. PuddleDuck does it.

[gasps]

What?

It's moving.

[screams]

Um, boots don't move by themselves.

Unless…

That's all of them.

[rabbits cheering]

[cat growls]

Run!

♪ Run, rabbit, run ♪

♪ Run like you've never run before ♪

♪ Run, rabbit, run ♪

♪ If he catches you, you're done
So run some more ♪

Carrots!

♪ Your heart is pounding
Those feet are sounding ♪

♪ So close to you
What can you do? ♪

♪ Oh, rabbit, run ♪

Gotcha!

♪ You'd better run ♪

[cat meows]

♪ I think I hear him
Catching up to you ♪

Phew! That was close.

[sneezing]

So, today's menu.
I'm thinking ducklings on toast

followed by rabbit pie. Sound good?

Hmm. I prefer carrots on toast,

then radish soup.

-[screams]
-[Mr. Tod chuckles]

Benjamin! Run!

[Benjamin screaming]

Yes, do keep running,
it helps me work up an appetite.

-Whoa!
-Dead end.

Aha! Well, I think

that's quite enough
exercise for one day, don't you?

It's time to eat.

[cackling]

[Mrs. Puddleduck humming]

[gasps]

Mr. Tod!

[all] Mrs. PuddleDuck!

Now, come on. Right here.

If I've said it once,
I've said it a hundred times!

No playing in the woods.

Oh, and you! You ought to know better.

I beg your pardon?

It's no use apologizing.

Honestly, Mr. Tod, my little ones
could get lost out here.

Well, come on, all of you.
You can finish your game in the coop.

Did you have a good time?
Oh, that is nice.

Well, the starter may have waddled off,

but the main course is still here.

Now, where were we?

Quick! Push!

What are you doing?

Stop!

[screams]

No! Oh, let me off!

Oh, my!

[rabbits laughing]

Yes!

[groaning]

You wouldn't know he was
a grown up gentleman,

the way he carries on.

Shame on you, Mr. Tod.

[Mr. Tod groans]

[Peter] We're really sorry.

Ducklingsitting is a lot harder
than it looks.

The secret is to get them
to sleep with a lullaby.

We tried that.

Ha! Not like this, you didn't.

♪ Quack, quack, quack, quack ♪

♪ Quackity, quack ♪

♪ Quack, quack, quackity, quack ♪

It's a special duckling lullaby.

[Benjamin snoring]

I think it works on rabbits, too.
