L.B.: I think it should be
a little more to the left.

No. It's perfect.
[chuckles]

Oh, drat! I missed!

Hmm.

Maybe it should be
a little more to the left.

Tweeg,
do you really think

you're ever gonna hit
Gimmick's place with
a cannonball?

Don't be a smart aleck, L.B.

This sh*t will be perfect.
[chuckles]

I'll just, uh...

-I'll just, uh...
-[bucket clatters]

L.B., I'm out of cannonballs!

Oh! This is terrible!

L.B., run down there and pick up
some of my cannonballs.

-You mean the ones laying
around Gimmick's house?
-Yes.

-None of which have ever hit
Gimmick's house?
-Yes!

-Or even landed near
Gimmick's house?
-Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Now quit stalling
and get to work.

"Quit stalling. Get to work."

Blah, blah, blah.

[birds chirping]

Teddy:
Hello, Gimmick. We're back.

Grubby:
Yeah, and we got lots of food.

It's amazing! [laughs]

It's absolutely amazing!

-It's amazing that we're back?
-No, no, no, no.

I'm talking about my invention.

In fact, it's more of
a new discovery, I'd say.

Oh, then that explains it.

Gimmick: It does?

Go on, Gimmick.
Tell us.

Well, after you left
to collect some, uh, food,

I was looking at
those crystals

we found in the ancient
Hard-to-Find City.

Yes?

I decided to plug one of
the crystals into the machine

and it started to work.

Really?

You mean you found a way
to use the crystals?

Yes.

The crystal turned it
into a kind of,

well, a reducing machine.

How many pounds do you plan
to lose, Gimmick?

-Yeah.
-[laughs] No, Grubby.

It's not that kind of
reducing machine.

When I turn it on,

anything inside of
this white circle

will be reduced to a fraction
of its normal size.

-Teddy: Anything?
-Yes, anything.

Except for copper, bronze,

and certain,
eh, uh, alloys.

You don't have any of that
on you, do you?

No, I don't think so.

Why do you ask?

Gimmick:
Well, I've tried to machine
on many different things.

And now I'm ready to
try out my invention

on living creatures.

Grubby:
Hmm. Good idea, Gimmick.

Hey, what living creatures?

Eh, the three of us
to be precise.

Uh, I think I'll go pick some
more strawberries for lunch.

-Good-bye.
-Hold on, Grubby.

Gimmick:
Oh, don't worry, my boy.

According to my calculations,

the possibility of a total
metabolic disintegration

is less than, eh, 32.5%.

Oh, well,
if you put it that way.

This should be exciting.

Imagine being
that small, Grubby.

Now, when I push
this red button,

we will all shrink to
a little more than an inch high.

Then, when I push
the green button,

we'll all return
to our normal,
eh, size again.

Okay. Let's go.

Oh, I can't look.

[beeping]

[chirps]

-Oh!
-Whoa!

Say, Gimmick,
I wonder why
the remote device

didn't shrink
like we did.

-Hmm. That is curious.
-What's it made of?

Oh, copper, bronze,
and certain alloys.

Maybe that's why.

Hmm. You could be right,
Grubby.

Uh-oh. What do you suppose
that big shadow is, Gimmick?

I don't know.

Perhaps a bending of
the light rays

which we don't see
in our normal size.

Or even...

All: Whoa!

[all exclaiming]

[shouting]

[both shouting]

[all shouting]

-Teddy: It's Fuzz.
-Gimmick: Yes.

Big for his age, isn't he?

What have you been
feeding him, Gimmick?

Gee, I've never seen
the inside of a couch before.

Come on. Fuzz won't be able
to see us up inside the couch.

That is a most
excellent idea, Teddy.

[spring boings]

-Well, at least I suppose it is.
-Come on, then.

I'm right behind you, Teddy.

That cannonball
looks too big, Tweed.

No, no,
they're all the same size.

And the name is Tweeg!

Hmm... that's strange.

It seems to be a little tight.

[grunting]

[laughs]

[Tweeg grunts]

Well, according to
my calculations,

we should see some light
at the end of the tunnel,

eh, well, any time now.

-That's helpful.
-Look. Down there.

Gimmick: Well, imagine that.

Come on, everyone.
Follow me.

-Whoa!
-Whoa!

Whoa!

Ouch!

-Oh!
-Gimmick: Whoa!

Wow. It looks as big
as all of Grundo itself.

-Indeed.
-What an adventure.

Now aren't you glad
you decided to come along,
Grubby?

Grubby: I sure am.

Just look at the size
of those strawberries
we picked for lunch.

-Teddy: Are you always hungry?
-Nope.

Only when I feel like
eating something.

Come on.
Let's get a closer look.

Teddy: ♪ Take a good look
at the world ♪

♪ There's beauty there
for us to discover ♪

♪ And share it all
with one another ♪

♪ So take a good look
at the world ♪

Both: ♪ Each blade of grass,
each tiny plant ♪

♪ Each ladybug,
each little ant ♪

♪ If you'll look close
then you will see ♪

♪ They're part of the world
like you and me ♪

Teddy: ♪ Take a good look
at the world ♪

♪ There's beauty there
for us to discover ♪

Grubby: ♪ And share it all
with one another ♪

Both:
♪ So take a good look ♪

♪ At the world ♪

I never knew how interesting
things were up close.

It's like
a whole new world.

Grubby: Hey, will you look at
the size of this mushroom?

And this is salt.

I thought only sugar
came in cubes.

Oh, it's salt, all right.

I've done a few studies on it
with my, eh, microscope.

Hey, Grubby, look at this.

Wow. Try chewing on the end
of that, would you?

There are so many
wonderful things to see.

We should thank Gimmick for
giving us the opportunity.

Grubby: You're right.

Thank you for giving us
the opportunity

to be eaten by a giant Fob.

Gimmick: Oh, my!

Oh, goodness!

-Oh, no!
-[thuds]

Teddy: Gimmick, be careful!

Whoa!

[shouting]

-[string scraping]
-Grubby: What do we do now?

Teddy: I don't know,
but we've got to do it fast.

Gimmick!

Huh?

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

Both: Whoa!

[shouting]

Whoa!

Teddy:
Are you all right, Gimmick?

[laughs] Well, why--

that was actually
rather exciting.

-[birds chirping]
-I'd say you were
threading on thin ice.

[chuckles]
Grubby, grab a piece of
that tape over there

and fasten the thread
to the tabletop.

Okie dokie.

[crackling]

There. Just like new.

[laughs]

Now, L.B.,
let's get on with it.

We've wasted enough time.

-[crackling]
-[gasps]

[gasps]

Both: Whoa!

-[expl*si*n]
-Both: Whoa!

[cuckoo clock cuckooing]

[grunts]

[shouting]

Teddy:
Any sign of Fuzz down there?

Gimmick: Actually, yes.

-He's fast asleep.
-[snoring]

Here's your tape, Teddy.

[laughs] Grubby, what happened?

I don't know.
I guess I just got
wrapped up in my work.

Here.
Let me help you.

-[buzzing]
-This is no time
to be humming, Teddy.

-We gotta go help Gimmick.
-That's not me humming.

It's that housefly.

-Look out, Gimmick!
There's a fly on the loose!
-Oh!

Oh, my! Oh!

Run, Grubby!

Don't rush me.
I've only got two feet.

Whoa!

Hey, Gimmick, help!

Oh, if only I knew
where I left my...

encyclopedia.

I thought I put it down
right here where this book is.

Say, I believe this is
my encyclopedia.

-[Teddy grunts]
-[both gasp]

Don't worry, boys.

I found my encyclopedia.

Grubby:
I'm very happy for you, Gimmick.

Now please do something.

Gimmick: Hmm. Let me see.

"Fliberity jibbit. Flute.

Fluctuation."

Ah! Here it is.

"Fly.

A name given to
the common housefly,

otherwise known as
musca domestica."

Hmm.
Here's something interesting.

-Teddy: What's that, Gimmick?
-According to this,

some ordinary white sugar
should do the trick.

The sugar bowl's
right here, Gimmick.

Grubby, let me get on
your shoulders.

Okay. If
you can find them.

-[grunts]
-Okay, Grubby,

now get out from
under me and duck.

-Let's go, Grubby.
-Yeah, before that fly
finishes dessert.

Teddy, you better get more tape
to fasten down the spool thing

-so we can
climb down the thread.
-It's okay, Grubby.

We can use the tape
you're wearing.

Stand still.

[laughing]

-That tickles.
-Shh.

[soft laugh]
That tickles.

All right, I found the end.

Now just turn around
to unwind some tape.

Grubby:
Is that enough tape, Teddy?

Teddy:
Just a little more, Grubby.

Okay.

Whoa! [shouting]

What did you say, Grubby?

Grubby!

-Is that enough tape, Teddy?
-Yes, Grubby.

That's plenty.
I'll be right down.

Welcome to
the ground floor, boys.

[laughs] Sorry I couldn't be
of more assistance.

That's okay.
The sugar did the trick.

I'm sure glad we're not
this small all the time.

That fly could be a real pest.

Indeed.

I hadn't thought of all
the dangers we might encounter.

Having adventures is
certainly very interesting.

Yeah, but I'm ready
to be bored again.

All we have to do
is find a way

to push the button
on the remote device

and we'll return to
our normal, eh, size.

[chuckles]

Don't worry, L.B.

This time nothing
can possibly go wrong.

[cannonball whistling]

[both shouting]

[expl*si*n]

Well, Tweeze, at least this time
you hit something. [laughs]

[grunting]

Oh, it won't move.

Maybe if both of us try
it will.

[Gimmick grunting]

Gimmick:
Say, I believe I have an idea.

Grubby, can you
drag that spoon

-over this way?
-Sure, Gimmick.

Gimmick: Now, Teddy,
if my calculations are correct,

pressure applied to
the southern section
of the spoon

should cause
an opposite reaction
in the northern section.

Teddy: Oh, you mean
if we jump on the spoon,

Grubby will fly up in the air.

Gimmick: Precisely.

And with his added velocity,

he might be able
to push down the button

on the remote, eh, device.

I think that's
a wonderful idea.

I think that's a terrible idea.

But, Grubby,
it's the only way.

I think.

Well, okay.

-Ready, Teddy?
-Here we go.

Whoa!

[shouting]

-Gimmick:
Are you all right, Grubby?
-I'm okay.

I just hope Fuzz isn't thirsty
'cause he's coming this way.

[Fuzz bouncing]

Gimmick:
Oh! He looks more hungry
than thirsty.

Gimmick, we've got to
press the button.

[all whoaing]

[beeping]

Hey, we're big again.

What happened?

Well, Fuzz must've hit
the green button

and... [laughs]
enlarged us.

You see, the molecular
reassembling attachment
worked perfectly.

Yeah, now that we're all
back to normal--

Oh, my...

Look at the size of him.

You didn't tell us your machine
could make things big, too.

[chuckles]

Well, I'm sure
we can return him

to his more,
eh, cuddly size

if we can just find
the remote device.

Fuzz must be sitting on it.

Grubby: Hurry, before he moves
off the white circle.

Here it is.

Help me lift his tail.

Oh, Gimmick, this Fob
needs to go on a diet.

-I've got it.
-Quickly, get out of the circle

and press the,
eh, red button.

Uh-oh.

[all shout]

Whoa! Whoa! [shouting]

[both gasp]

Both: Whoa!

[crashing, thumping]

I've got an idea.

[beeping]

Teddy: It worked!

Well, you've had
quite an exciting day,

haven't you, Fuzz? [chuckles]

Well, I guess we all have.

And you found out
what one of the crystals

from one of
the Hard to Find City does.

I can't wait to find out
what the others do.

Well, can we at least wait
till tomorrow?

I'm tired.

[all laughing]

[shouts]

[laughs]

Gotcha!

[laughing continues]
