-Hey, Hap, check it out!
-Yeah, man.
-Boop's got a flea circus.
-Boop.
[laughs] I love flea circuses!
Uh, Boop, where did all your fleas go?
What are you StoryBots
doing standing around? [grunts]
Why the heck am I so itchy?
Uh, I think the fleas got out again.
Listen up! Ah, that's good.
I got a kid with a question.
Oh... That's the spot.
And he needs an answer pronto!
Oh, yeah. Ah, that's it. Capiche?
-[all groaning]
-Huh?
Sir, yes, sir! You got it!
Well, get ready for a tough one!
Hi, StoryBox.
Uh, you mean StoryBots.
StoryBox.
No, silly! StoryBots.
StoryBox.
[all] StoryBots!
StoryBox!
Bots!
So, Bots?
-Yeah!
-You got it now, buddy!
That was it.
Got it.
[all] Phew.
Finally.
So, what's your name?
My name is Henry.
-Henry!
-All right, nice to meet you, Henry.
So, what's your question, Henry?
How do volcanoes work?
Volcanoes?
[gasps] That's a great question.
How do volcanoes work?
Uh... Oh! Oh! I got it!
I know where we can find the answer!
StoryBots, prepare for transport!
Let's find out how volcanoes work!
[all] Outer world, here we come!
[whirring]
Still so itchy!
-[saxophone music continues]
-[grunting]
Huh?
Ah. Oh, yeah. That's the ticket.
[StoryBots yelling]
[yelling continues]
[grunting]
-[tree cracking]
-[all] Huh? [shouting]
[all panting]
So, what is this place, Bang?
Well, I was like, thinking,
what better place to find out
how a volcano works
than at the Pacific Rim!
I don't know ab-- Wait!
Bang, that's actually
a really great place to start.
It is home to percent
of the world's active volcanoes, man.
-[Bing] Whoa!
-[Bo] Good thinking, Bang!
[Bang] Well, I have my moments.
Uh, guys? The volcano just looks like
a big mountain.
Yeah, I don't see how it works.
Arr! What do we have here?
Rival pirates, coming to steal
me treasure?
We're not rival pirates
here to steal your treasure, Mr. Pirate.
You're not?
No! We don't even like treasure.
Oh, well, let me put this away, then.
Get me manners about.
Well, then, what brings you swashbuckling
StoryBots to me island?
We're here to answer a question
for a kid named Henry.
Aye! I love questions
from kids named Henry.
What's he wanna know, good lad that he is?
He, like, wants to know
how volcanoes work, Mr. Pirate Dude.
Aye, that's a good one.
Gather round, ye StoryBots.
Once upon a time,
a mighty pirate buried
the biggest treasure of all time,
right here on this very island.
[all] Ooh.
He piled his gold and jewels
all the way to the sky.
[all] Ah.
And he trained a fire-breathing sea dragon
to protect his treasure.
[roars]
[all gasp]
And then one day,
a wicked storm blew across the sea,
covering the sea monster
and all the treasures with rocks and dirt,
forming the volcano you see there.
You see it?
[all] Whoa.
Wait a minute.
Did you say "fire-breathing sea dragon"?
Aye. Certainly did.
But that doesn't make very much sense
at all.
-It doesn't?
-[Bing] No.
How can a dragon
that lives underwater breathe fire?
Yeah, man, the water would, like,
totally put the fire out.
Arr.
I never thought of that.
You might be right, StoryBots.
How do volcanoes work?
Uh, that's what we were asking you,
Mr. Pirate.
Oh! Right. Hmm.
Well, why don't you try
the Scientific Method?
You know, Sir Francis Bacon
and stuff like that.
Hey, that's a great idea!
We can go up to the top
and take a look around!
-Come on, guys. Thanks!
-Yeah. Great idea.
-Thanks so much, Pirate Dude.
-Thanks for all your help.
-You're really cool, Pirate Dude.
-Bye!
-[Bang] What was that about bacon?
-Bye-bye.
So long, StoryBots! Farewell!
I hope they brought their hiking boots.
Arr.
[all panting]
I wish we brought our hiking boots.
Hey, guys. Check it out!
[all] Huh?
Whoa. That's a seriously deep hole, man.
Well, it's a good thing we're safe up here
on this ledge.
-[volcano rumbling]

Mr. Rock? I'm not Mr. Rock.
I'm Fossil. Bob Fossil.

-Uh, excuse me, Mr. Fossil--
Not now. It's almost showtime and we're
finishing off the layers of the Earth!
-[clanging]
-Pick that up.
-Move that over there, will you?
-Layers of the Earth? Wait.
Mr. Fossil. Mr. Fossil!
Uh, excuse me, sir, but what exactly
do you mean by layers of the Earth?
Crust, mantle, core, see?
Crust at the top. Mantle in the middle.
Core at the center.
Is that where the lava is?
Lava? You may call it lava up on the
crust, but down here it's called magma.
Magma forms when the fiery core
melts the rocks in the mantle--
Mr. Fossil, it's really important.
Scram, Francis!
You're gumming up the works!
We know you're busy, Mr. Fossil,
but we just need to find out how
volcanoes work for a kid named Henry.
Volcanoes? You came to the right
place, StoryBots. Grab a seat.

-Ms. Roxy, over here, man.
StoryBots? What are you all doing here?
-What are we doing here?
-What are you doing here?
Yeah. The show's about to start!
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, gumshoes,
but I'm packing it in
and quitting show business for good.
[all] Quitting show business?
But why?
There's just too much pressure, StoryBots.
Some days, I feel like--
Like I'm just gonna burst!
We all have our tough days,
Ms. Roxy, but--
Oh! You don't know what it's like being
at the center of a Bob Fossil production.
All that pressure...
It's just too much, StoryBots.
It keeps building and building
and building, and-- [gasps]
I just ain't cut out for it.
-But everyone's counting on you, Roxy.
-Yeah, what about your friends?
Oh, they're more than just my friends,
StoryBots. They're my family.
And everyone's worked so hard,
it breaks my heart to pieces
to let them down, but I--
I just can't!
[crying]
What are we gonna do now, Beep?
I guess we have to tell Mr. Fossil
that Roxy isn't coming back.
-The show must go on, man.
-I hope they have an understudy.
You coming aboard, miss?
[train whistle wailing]
Where are those StoryBots?
I need my star, see?
-[Beep] Mr. Fossil!
-[Bo] Oh, dear, Mr. Fossil!
Hey, Mr. Fossil!
Where have you been, StoryBots?
Where's Roxy? Where's my star?
-Well, we found her, Mr. Fossil.
-But she wouldn't come back.
What do you mean, StoryBots?
The show needs her.
Her friends need her.
The audience needs her!

-Huh?
-[StoryBots yelling]
I told you StoryBots to get an answer,
not dillydally!
We got the answer, boss.
We know how volcanoes work.
The first thing you need to know
is that the Earth is made up of
three different layers.
Core, the mantle, and the crust!
The core is way down
at the center of the Earth,
and it's super-crazy-hot down there, man.
It's so hot that it melts the rocks in the
middle layer, which is called the mantle.
Yeah. And the melted rock is called magma.
The top layer of the Earth
is called the crust,
and it's made up of giant pieces of land
called tectonic plates.
They, like, float around on top
of the magma and the rocks and stuff.
When the plates collide or separate,
it creates gaps in the Earth's crust.
And when the magma from below
rushes to the Earth's surface...
[all] That's how volcanoes work!
Just-- Just give me that tape.

♪ The core is deep
