[Peter] The Tale of the Rabbit
and Squirrel Great Adventure.

Ho-ho! Whoo-hoo!

[all laughing]

Go on, Lily.

-[grunts]
-[giggles]

So close!

Look, Old Brown!

Where? I-I don't see anything.

Haha! Tricked you. [laughing]

[Benjamin] Um... Uh, uh...

[Peter] Go on, Benjamin!

-Look! Radish.
-[gasps] Where?

-[Peter] No!
-[grunts]

-Got it.
-[Peter] Oh, yes.

-Oh...
-[Nutkin] Goal!

-Woo-hoo!
-[squirrels chittering excitedly]

[taunting music playing]

Nutkin... tail?

[hooting]

-Look, Old Brown!
-[Benjamin gasps]

Nutkin, did you steal this hazelnut
from Owl Island?

[gasps] "Steal" is a strong word, Peter.

Then why is Old Brown on his way here?

Ha! You're not going to fool me
with my own trick!

[Old Brown] Squirrel Nutkin!

Gotta go!

[all screaming]

You can dash but you can't disappear,
Squirrel Nutkin!

Now give me back my hazelnut!

[hooting]

[Peter] Quick! To the burrow!

Great idea! Burrow!

[grunts]

Nutkin, that's not the burrow.

Nutkin, tail?

[grunting]

[Old Brown] Aha.

[Peter] Treehouse!

-[Old Brown] Ha-ha!
-[Peter] Come on. [grunting]

-[all grunting]
-[Cotton-Tail squeals]

[all panting]

Tailfeathers! Hmm!

That wasn't good.

I know. I'm really sorry
I let that goal in.

Not the goal! I mean Old Brown!

He nearly caught us.

You know Old Brown gets really angry

when you take hazelnuts
without his permission.

[chuckles] Old grumpy-chops
doesn't frighten me!

See you later, guys.

Nutkin... tail?

Peter, Cotton-Tail and I
really want to know the reason

Nutkin doesn't have a tail.

What? You don't know?

[both] Mm-mm.

Oh, all right, I'll tell you.

Yay! Story! Story!

It all happened a while back...

[Peter] I'd just spotted
the biggest radish ever

in Mr. McGregor's garden.
I had to get it.

Benjamin kept watch while I carefully...

What is it?

What's what?

You tapped me on the shoulder.

Benjamin!

But I didn't do anything.

[crash]

[Mr. McGregor]
What's that noise? Rabbits!

Quick, Benjamin, run!

I'll get you!

Whoa!

[Benjamin screaming]

[panting]

That was the best radish I've ever seen.

I was this close to getting it.

Now I've missed my chance.

But I didn't do anything!

Then who did? Ouch!

Me, of course.

Who are you?

Squirrel Nutkin. Who are you?

I've just moved into the Squirrel Camp.

Do you like acorns? I love acorns!

You can eat them or juggle them...

But you ruined my radish raid.

Blech! Ugh!

What would you want
with a disgusting old radish anyway?

[Peter and Benjamin] To eat it!

Really? I guess you've never tried
an acorn, then.

Oh, now that is food worthy of a squirrel.

[chuckles] How d'you do?

-Peter Rabbit.
-Ha-ha!

[giggling] Oops.

Come on, Benjamin, it's time to go home.

Benjamin, is it? Call me Nutkin.

Huh? Hey! Maybe you like hazelnuts?

Oh, they're even better than acorns.

How about I show you
some upside down juggling?

You've never seen that before, have you?

Ah... Oh.

I'm sure the radish will still be there
in the morning, Peter.

We can try again then.
All right, see you tomorrow.

Bye.

But why wait till tomorrow
for something you can have today?

Now for the fun part.

[hooting]

[gasps]

-[Old Brown cackling]
-[screaming]

Owl! Put me down...

[Nutkin giggling]

Maybe upside down juggling would be easier

if I were higher up in the tree.

[Peter] No!

I'm sure that's not right.

[Peter struggling]
Let go of me, you horrible owl!

In fact, I'd say it's very, very wrong!

Oh. Hey! What's-your-name!

[exclaims]

[panting] Your friend... Radish...
Owl... Island...!

What?

Owl... wings... rabbit... gone...

[gasps] Peter? Old Brown's got Peter?

-Yes! Is his name Peter?
-Yes!

Then yes, Old Brown's got Peter!

Wait, who's Old Brown?

What-- The owl! Oh, what are we gonna do?

Do? Why, rescue him of course!

And there's no time to lose!

[groaning]

Jump on, we have to save... Patrick.

Peter! His name is Peter!

I knew that! Peter! Peter!

But we don't have an oar

and we can't get across the water
without one.

Ooh!

So, how do you think
they got across the lake?

-Nunno!
-Tell us!

You're right. We don't have an oar.

We have a sail!

Rabbits are brave! Rabbits are brave!

[Peter] Let me go!

And miss out on a splendid supper?

This is your last chance!

Or what?

[Nutkin] Hey!

Yes? Can't you see I'm busy?

Give us back our friend!

-Uh, what's his name?
-Peter!

Peter. Give him back!

Not unless you have something better
to bargain with.

Mm. Oh, how about this one?

What?

[softly] Don't worry, we'll swap you back
after he gives us Percy.

-Peter!
-Peter! After he gives us Peter.

Wait, that won't work.

Aha! I've got another idea!

We swap... ouch! Ooh! Ooh! Ahh! This?

Eh, what's... What is that
you are holding?

-Huh!
-Whoa!

Peter!

Hup!

[Peter yells]

[gasping and spitting]

Thanks for saving me! Nutkin, right?

At your service.

Huh! You think you can spoil
my dinner, do you?

We're not out of trouble yet. Come on.

Benjamin, hurry!

[Old Brown growling]

[all gasping]

[Old Brown grunts]

[Benjamin screams]

[Peter and Nutkin gasping]

[Old Brown grunts]

Oh! That was close.

Wait, where are the oars?

Ahem, shall we show him?

Over to you, Nutkin.

[Peter gasps]

This is amazing! Your tail is--

A helpful handle to grab you with.

[all groaning]

Don't let go!

I have no intention of letting you go,
you feeble fuzz-ball!

I meant him!

Gah, I won't let go!

My dad always told me
a good rabbit never gives up!

[all grunting and straining]

[Peter] Benjamin, duck!

Oof! Tailfeathers!

[all] Whoa!

[all grunt]

[groaning]

[laughs] Did you see that!

We really showed old feather-face!

[laughs] You guys are great.

In fact, you're my new best friends!

[laughing excitedly]

Uh... Nutkin.

Can we do something like that again?

Well, not exactly like that.

I mean, we could perhaps leave out
the part where the scary old owl

carried you off to that big tree
and then came after us and...

What? Have I caught a...

My tail! Where's my tail?

Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

I'm really sorry, Nutkin.
This is all my fault.

No, it's my fault.

I should have tried
to rescue you on my own.

But... this is...

incredible!

Oh, I'll be the only squirrel
without a tail!

An amazingly agile, simply spectacular,

completely unique squirrel! [giggling]

-[chuckles]
-Wait till I show the others.

They're going to be so jealous!

I thank you, I thank you. I thank you!

[laughing] Wow! I've never met
anyone like him before.

[laughing] Me neither.

He's one of a kind, that's for sure!

-What do you think, guys?
-Huh?

Isn't that just the most excellent story?

Poor Nutkin. Tail lost.

You're right, Cotton-Tail.

How awful for you, Nutkin.

Uh, don't worry.

I might have lost my beloved tail,

but I gained one of my best
and bravest friends ever!

[deep breath] Preston!

[all] Peter!

[Cotton-Tail giggles]

[all laughing]

Come on, Cotton-Tail,
I'd better get you home.

[distant clacking]

Sounds like a squirrel challenge to me.

[squirrels cheering and whooping]

Hey, wait for me, guys.

That looks like fun.
Don't finish before I get back!

Bye, Nutkin!

Come on, Cotton-Tail, let's go home.

[Cotton-Tail squeals]

[squirrels whooping]

Wow! That looks amazing.

My turn!

Whoa! Oof!

It's harder than it looks.

That's because you need
a fluffy tail to balance with.

Nonsense, Lily. No tail here! See?

[scoffs] What did I tell you?

Whoa...

[giggling sheepishly]
Lost my balance there.

[squirrel squeaks]

I shall now regain my balance
using the power of my...

my mind.

[screams]

Right. Warm-up over.

This time, for real.

-Whoa!
-[rabbits] Oof!

[laughing gleefully]

Um... Maybe I do need my tail after all.

Cheer up, Nutkin.

You can still do loads of stuff
without your tail.

No one can hang upside down
as long as you.

And you're really good at icicle-jumping.

But imagine how good I'd be with a tail.

I loved my tail!

[wailing]

Poor Nutkin. I've never seen him so upset.

He's really missing his old tail.

If only we could get him a new one.

Benjamin, you're a genius!

I am?

We should find Nutkin a new tail.

It doesn't have to be a real tail.
It can be anything.

Wow, I am a genius!

What are we waiting for? Let's hop to it!

Ladies and gentle-squirrels,

we present to you

Squirrel Nutkin and his amazing new tail!

-[whispers] Tails.
-Tails!

Amazing new tails!

[squirrels cheering]

Feathers were my idea.

Achoo!

[squirrels laughing]

[groans]

Wait till they see the tail
I found Nutkin.

Oh! Ouch! Yow!

-Ooh! Ahh!
-[squirrels laugh loudly]

Don't worry, we still have
my idea for a new tail.

-[chortles]
-[squirrels] Ooh!

[wind blowing]

Ah! Hopping hazelnuts.

[giggling]

[chittering]

It's my fault Nutkin doesn't have a tail.

If he hadn't rescued me
from Old Brown, he'd still have it.

There must be something we can do.

-Hmm.
-No! No! No!

We are not going to Owl Island.

But if we can't find Nutkin
a new tail here,

then we have to go back there
and get his old tail back!

Back? From Old Brown?

But he eats rabbits!

I know that for a fact!

He sleeps in the daytime.

We just have to stay really quiet. Easy!

Yeah, easy. [gulps]

C'mon!

[gently snoring]

-[twig snaps]
-Oops.

Shh.
Owls have the best hearing in the valley.

Sorry! [whispers] I mean, sorry.

We need something to lift you up,

which we don't have.

Oh, well, we tried. Let's go back.

Not without that tail!

If only we had a lift
like we do at the treehouse.

Wait. That's it!

Lily, did you bring any string?

Just in case pocket, just in case.

Great! You take one end and hold on tight.

I'll find a rock, so we can throw the...

Like that, you mean?

[chuckles] Yeah, like that. That was good.

Good? It was amazing.

Thanks.

[both groaning]

Benjamin!

[Peter and Lily groan]

Oops, sorry!

Whoa!

Yes!

[gasps]

[giggles]

Oh!

[laughing]

Huh?

Oh... Searching for something?

Uh, what? Me?
[chuckles nervously] Well...

Or have you found the tail you came for?

Here goes! Gah!

-Whoa!
-Huh?

Peter!

[giggles]

-[laughing]
-[Lily and Benjamin] Woo-hoo! Yeah!

Give me back that tail!

Or I will have your tails too,
you wretched rabbits!

Come on, let's get to the raft.

We're too slow. He's going to get us!

We need a sail.

You're right. Wait, we've got one!

But where?

Here! Lily, quick. Take the other end.

Got it.

-[hooting]
-[rabbits screaming]

[grunts]

Oh, tailfeathers! This isn't over yet,
mark my words!

[squirrels chittering]

Twenty-six!

Ahh, we need one more to break the record.
It's your turn, Nutkin.

No, thanks.

I have officially given up all leaping,
jumping or anything that requires a--

-[Peter] Nutkin!
-Not now, Peter.

As I was saying, I am giving up
anything that requires a...

[gasps] Tail?

Oh, my fluffy, puffy, beautiful tail!

[kissing]

You've brought it back to me!

Oh, whoo-hoo!

Peter, Benjamin, Lily!

You're the best, most wonderful,
bravest friends a squirrel could ask for!

There.

[both chuckle] Girls!

Heh, heh! Whoa!

Mwah! You complete me! Oops.

Whoa!

Now I can do the tightrope!

In fact, now I can do anything!

[Old Brown] Hoo-hoo!

-Huh?
-Oh, no!

I could walk the tallest tightrope,

leap the longest leap,

flip the flippiest flip!

But mostly I'm just going
to stand here and look amazing. Huh?

[Old Brown] Hoo! Haha!

Hoo-hoo!

[panicked squealing]

He's come back for Nutkin's tail!

Quick, hide!

Argh! What's happening?
My legs have stopped working!

No! It's your tail! It's caught!

I want that tail back!

We have to save Nutkin!

[panting]

Pull!

[all grunting]

Lily!

Whoa!

-Hey! Put me down!
-[Old Brown laughs]

Oh, no! Lily!

Bah! I'd forgotten how annoying tails are.

-[Benjamin whimpers]
-[Nutkin grunts]

Aha, that's better! Come on,
let's go and help Peter get Lily back.

But...

-Hoot! Hoot!
-[Lily] Peter!

Hey, you! Take your claws off my friend!

-[hooting]
-[Lily] Help!

Never fear, Nutkin is here!

I know you risked your life
to get it and everything,

but I'm better off without it.

Are you really sure
you don't want your tail anymore?

Sure? I'm positively positive.

Hey! Old Brown!

If you want the tail, come and get it!

-[Lily yelps]
-[Old Brown] Hoo-hoo!

-[growls]
-Peter, be careful!

Aren't you a little reckless for a rabbit?

We'll swap the tail for Lily.
Give her back!

Well, I'm tempted...

only that will leave me
with nothing to nibble!

[Peter screams]

Peter! Lily!

I'm tickled you could join us, Peter.

If it's tickling you want,
then how about this?

Oh! [giggling] Stop that!

Huh? Ah!

Whoa...

[Old Brown laughs]

Keep going.

[Old Brown laughs] Stop!

[Peter and Lily screaming]

[Nutkin] Gotcha!

Whoa! [grunting]

[laughing uncontrollably]

[all cheering]

We did it!

That was amazing, Nutkin.

And all without your tail!

I know! Who needs a tail? Not me.

Now you tell us?

Peter, Benjamin, Lily.

You're the best, most wonderful,
bravest friends a squirrel could ask for!

[squirrels squeaking]

Oh, oh!
How about we celebrate our friendship

with a tightrope walk of
absolute precision and awesomeness?

[Nutkin laughs]

Whoa!

Well, what are you waiting for?
