Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Work your cares away
Dancing's for another day

Let the Fraggles play

We're Gobo, Mokey,
Wembley, Boober, Red!

A Fraggle!

Hey, look, Ma.

I caught a Fraggle!

Dance your cares away

Worry's for another
day Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock
Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.

Another touch of fennel

and a touch of rose hip

for the vitamin C, of course.

There it is, Sprocket.

The dog food that couldrevolutionize
the pet food industry.

And I think I've
solved the problem

we had with the first two bowls.

Why, this cereal is
gonna taste great.

It's more delicious than
any boneyou've ever dug up.

Well, it's full of nutrition...

roughage, and sheer
good food value.

Do you want it with milk?

This is a cereal with
excitement, zest, zip, spice...

Too much spice?

Oh, well.

Back to the old recipe book, eh?
Back to the old recipe book, eh?

Hey, what is this, Sprocket?

Hey, Sprocket, just a minute.
I'm the inventor in this household.

Well, of course you're a dog.

And that's why I'm
tryingthis cereal on you.

Well, of coursel know
you know your dog food

from personal experience.

There's no argument.

A dog food invented by a dog.

It would be a
strong selling point.

Go!

Morning.

Frankly, as an architect, I
think I have topped myself

with this tower.

It's big, it's bold,
it's beautiful.

-It's... Boring.

Basically boring.

What? How can you say that?
What? How can you say that?

-Why, it's... Delicious.

Delicious. See?

Just the thing for a
mid-morning snack.

-Or lunch.-Or supper.

A hungry Fraggle
will eat anything.

And I do mean anything.

Cotterpin Doozer, you
may be my apprentice,

but that does not
give you the right...

Would you like to see
somethingreally different?

Look over here.

Something solid,
scintillating... My own design.

Weird, eh, Red?

How's it taste?

Yuck!

Too concentrated!

It's so sweet, it's sour.

Forget it.

What do they knowabout
architecture anyway?

Don't be so defensive.

They know what they don't like.

Nobody around here's
interestedin anything really different.

Cotterpin!

Well, you criticize me every
timel try something original.

I'm discussing.

You're the one
who's criticizing.

Oh, I'm going to see
Gobo He's going to see me

Right after I have one more
biteof this delicious tower.

Oh, boy, that is so good.

See?

All right, all right.

It's just that I never
see anything else.

And no matter how good
you thinkyour towers are,

I just don't find
them inspiring.

Inspiring?

Why, these are the
best towers since...

Since, well, the
Cavern of Lost Dreams.

In fact, they're better.

The what?

The Cavern of Lost Dreams,

the legendary cave, full of
towers our ancestors built.

But that's beside the point.

No, no, no, it
isn't.Where is this cavern?

No one knows anymore.

But we're talking
about my towers.

I bet the towersin the
Cavern of Lost Dreams

would be really different.
Would be really different.

Well, of course they
would be, but so what?

The point is... Cotterpin,
where are you going?

I'm going to findthe
Cavern of Lost Dreams.

I need inspiration, and I can only
get itfrom seeing something different.

But no one's
sure it even exists.

There are no maps,
no records, nothing.

Believe me, you're
on your own, Cotterpin!

Yeah!

Every time I hit the highway

Feel my spirit
start to fly Alone

I'm on my own

Thank you, breeze,
you're blowing my way

Got no cares and
got no cause to moan

I'm on my own

Every way I wander
is the way I want to go

Every way I wanderl
find one more way to grow

Every way I wanderl
find one more way to grow

I'm on my own

Goodbye, cares,
you'll never find me

Goodbye, worries, 'fraid I'm
not at home I'm on my own

Hello, sky, I'm right behind you

Hello, highway, please
don't mind my tone

I'm on my own

Every way I wander
is the way I want to go

Every way I wanderl
find one more way to grow

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

Yeah!

Well, now my only problem is

how to find the
Cavern of Lost Dreams.

So, what did Gobo say?
So, what did Gobo say?

Well, he just lookedat
his Uncle Matt's map

and said, "No problem, eh?"

That Fraggle can find
any place you want.

He's a real explorer!

-So he keeps telling us.-Yeah.

A Fraggle who can
find any place you want!

Terrific!

Oh, boy! This is gonna be it.

Just what I needed, yeah.

What do you know about that?

Pardon me, Mr. Gobo,

but I was wondering
if you could help me.

-Who said that?-I did.

A Doozer talking to a Fraggle?

-Well...-What's going
on in this cave, anyway?

What can I do for
you, little Doozer?

My name's Cotterpin,
not "little Doozer".

So, what can I do
for you, Cotterpin?

Well, I hear that
you're an explorer.

True.

The best Fraggle explorer ever.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

And I was wondering
if you could lead me

to the Cavern of Lost Dreams.

The what?

The Cavern of Lost Dreams.
The Cavern of Lost Dreams.

It's the original Doozer cave!

Never heard of it.

And my Uncle Matt certainlynever
seems to have mentioned it.

Where is it?

I don't know. That's
why I need your help.

Sorry, but I've got enoughto
handle with the Fraggles.

But I'm desperate!

Well, it's hard to
believe it even exists

if my Uncle Matt
doesn't mention it.

Well, anyway, it's
out of the question.

Sorry.

I guess you'll only go where you're
sureyour uncle's gone before, huh?

What?

I guess if your uncle
hasn't been there,

then you don't know
how to get there.

Why, why, that's not true!

Mr. Been-This-Way-Before,
Gobo Second-Time-Around Fraggle.

I can find any place I want to!

If your uncle's
been there before.

Hey, no. Listen,
that's not true.

The things I let
myself get talked into.

Come on, Gobo.

Just think of it as an adventure.
Just think of it as an adventure.

Imagine! The Cavern
of Lost Dreams.

Finished?

Come on, Sprocket. It shouldn't
takethat long to invent a dog cereal.

Well, I know I
failed three times,

but that's why you
should let me help.

I've learnt from my mistakes.

I know. You wanna
do it all alone.

Now look what you've
done. The garlic powder!

Sprocket, now, not
to stifle your creativity,

but we've got to
approach this problem

in a more cooperative manner.

Well, what are we waiting for?

We are finding our bearings.

For someone so small,
you certainly are pushy.

Look out, look out, look out!

An itching plant.

One drop of that sap on your
skinand you'll never stop itching.

One drop of that sap on your
skinand you'll never stop itching.

I know that.

Well, I'm glad you
know something.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, we are lost, aren't we?

We're not lost.

Then where are we?

Listen.

-I'm doing you a favor.-Yeah.

When one creaturedoes
another creature a favor,

that other creature shouldkeep
her little mouth zippered!

Okay, okay.

Look!

A Doozer on some
kind of riding beast.

Getting us lost in a caveis
your idea of a favor, is it?

We are not lost.

Then where are we?

Why, we're...

The Cavern of Lost Dreams!

Come on, put me down!

Put me down. This is incredible!

Almost unbelievable.

Now, this is architecture!

Why, these towers put the
onesin the Great Hall to shame.

Well, now, I wouldn't say that.

Well, I would.

It's completely amazing!

Completely original.

And completely unmapped.

Now, let's see.

Breathtaking!

Inspiring!

I was right. Another Doozer.

Yeah, a pretty strange-looking
one, if you ask me.

No one's asking you.

What?

Where's the rest of them?

What?

The relief detachment.
The relief detachment.

Wait a minute.
Let's start over again.

I'm Cotterpin Doozer.

Who are you?

I'm Yeaster.

This is Crusty.

Yeah, well, what's all
thisabout a relief detachment?

-You tell her.-Our ancestors.

In fact, our
great-great-great...

-Our great-great-great...
Great-great...

Yeah, okay. Okay,
I get the idea.

Grandparents were
leftto guard this cave

while the other Doozers went lookingfor
another source of building material.

Yeah, and that wasa
long, long time ago too.

Then you're responsible
for these towers.

They're incredible!

-Yeah.-So, so... solid.

So, so clean!

As solid as a stalagmite.

As unchanging as the rock!

-That's our slogan.-Yes,
our little slogan.

Well, I love 'em!

You know,

there's a lot I could learn here,
there's a lot I could learn here,

and a lot I could contribute.

We'd welcome the
help with the cleaning.

Yeah, we'd welcome the shorter
turnson the guard duty, as well.

Ouch!

Yep. Together we couldreally
make some changes.

I felt so helpless
Yes, I felt so blue

I never dreamedl'd
see eye to eye with you

But hallelujah!

We've made the whole thing new

I'm gonna see eye
to eye to eye with you

Eye to eye

And the sky is blue as blue

standing here with you

I feel so... I feel so happy

The sun is shining through

I'm gonna see eye to eye
to eye with you You betcha!

Eye to eye to eye with you
Eye to eye to eye with you

Four, five!

Nothing will be different
Everything's the same

We'll join togetherPlay
them good old games

Yes, and when danger threatens

We'll do what we always do

And we'll see eye
to eye to eye with you

Eye to eye to eye with you Yeah!

Eye to eye And the
sky is blue as blue

Eye to eye'Cause I'm
standing here with you

Take it, youngster!

I feel so happy The
sun is shining through

I'm gonna see eye

Eye to eye to eye with you
Eye to eye to eye with you

Oh, baby!

Eye to eye to eye with you

-Hey, Cotterpin.-Yeah?

There's a particularly
beautiful tower

you should see
across the cave there.

Great. Thanks.

Sure, leave an old Doozerwhen
he's down on his back.

Aren't you coming?

Well, in case you've forgotten, one
of us has to stay and guard the cave.

Suit yourself.

-Yeah.-Old coot.

Who are you calling an old coot?

Well, snack time.

What am I gonna eat?

Well, I guess if the
Doozersmade these towers,

Fraggles can eat them.

Yuck!

They taste like
moldy old mushrooms.

Horrible!

All right, defiler of the
sacred structures, march!

You talking to me?

You heard me, riding beast.

I'm not a riding beast.

I'm putting you in prison.

You should've stuck
to grazing moss.

Oh, yeah? And how
does a little Doozer like you

propose to get a big Fraggle
like meinto prison, eh?

With a little spear

covered with the
sapof a big itching plant.

Now march!

Yeah, I'm marching.

-I'm marching.-March, beast!

I'm right behind you...

We ran out of
mushrooms to build with,

so some Doozers had to head off

in search of a new supply.

You sure know how to build.

- Cotterpin!-What?
- Cotterpin!-What?

Hey, what are
you doing in there?

I'm a prisoner.

Watch out for
those itching plants.

Some old Doozer hung
'em thereto keep me in here.

Must have been
Crusty, that old fool.

He'd never seen a
riding beast before.

I'm not a riding beast!

Well... it's gotta besome
kind of a mistake.

I'll go talk to him right away.

Hey, wait. Get
me out of here first!

The control's right over there!

Cotterpin!

I don't believe this tower...
It'll never be the same again.

-Crusty.-What?

Why is Gobo
Fraggle in that prison?

Well, if you can't
curbyour riding beast...

Look at what he
did to this tower.

-Sacrilege.-Absolutely.

Come on. We're all Doozers here.

We build the towers,
and the Fraggles eat 'em.

No one defiles the sacred towers!
No one defiles the sacred towers!

-But... No one!

Come on.

It's easily repaired.

Why, we could even
make some improvements.

Improvements?

These are very light.

Quick!

Chant the slogan
to ward off evil!

As solid as a stalagmite,
as unchanging as the rock.

As solid as a stalagmite,
as unchanging as the rock.

-Keep up.-I'm trying.

As solid as a stalagmite,
as unchanging as the rock.

Hey!

As solid as a stalagmite...
- Hey!-What?

What is wrong with
you Doozers, anyway?

You're not part of
the relief detachment.

Well, I never said I was.

-You're a revolutionary.-Yes!

-A radical!-Radical!

What? All I did wasrearrange
the blocks a little.

No one changes the
sacred towers. Now march!

But I thought we saw eye to eye.

Don't we? 3

We don't. Right, we don't.

You're good.

You must have beennearly
as charming with them

as you are with me.

Okay, okay. I deserve that.

Boy, at least the
Architectlet me try things,

but these two...

We gotta get out of here.

Oh, yeah? And how do
you propose to do that?

These itching plantsmake
a pretty effective barrier.

Whenever I'm in a
tough spot like this,

I always have one placeto
turn to for inspiration.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

The latest postcardfrom
my Uncle Travelling Matt.

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

The other day...

I stumbled across a special cave

where silly creatures
gather objects

that other silly
creatures have discarded.

Astonishing!

What is a lovely young creature
like youdoing in a cave like this?

What is a lovely young creature
like youdoing in a cave like this?

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't know you were together.

By shrewd observation,

I quickly deduced that othersilly
creatures come to these caves

and choose the things they love
the mostto take home with them.

Since to a complete
stranger, what's old is new,

a striking individual like your old
unclewas in immediate demand.

But I didn't let
it go to my head.

"Love, your Uncle
Travelling Matt."

Big help that was.

-A real little critic,
aren't you?-Well...

Listen, if we're
gonna get out of here,

it's time you stop
criticizingand start thinking.

Okay, okay.

"What's old is new."

What's old...

I got it!

- What are we gonna do?-I don't know.
- What are we gonna do?-I don't know.

Help! Come quick!

What?

Come quick, something
terrible has happened!

Well, what is it?

An emergency, you old fool.

Come on, our prisoners.

They're coming.

What's the matter now?

What's wrong?

Well, I don't know.
He just keeled over.

Well, let me have a look.

Yeah, all right. Better do that.

Well, you shouldn't have eatenthe
sacred towers, riding beast.

I am not a riding beast!

I am a Fraggle, got it?

Gobo Fraggle.

Well... Not exactly
the way I planned it,

but I'm always
open to new ideas.

Now...

What are you gonna do with us?

Show you some other Doozers.

Other radicals!

Well, your relatives, actually.

But I don't want to leave.

Maybe we need a change.

Hold on tight.

Well, I am sick of guard duty.
Well, I am sick of guard duty.

We need something
different in our lives.

And I'm taking you
someplace different.

I'm taking you home.

I rememberwe used to
dream of towers like these,

but we never had
the tools for the task.

I think Crusty and
Yeasterwill fit in quite nicely.

Yeah.

They will need some
timeto adjust, however.

Anyway, what is it you wanted?

Well, I wanted to apologize.

And I wanted to tell youthat I
have found your work inspiring.

Well, thank you.

And I've found a way of
combiningwhat I like in your designs

with what I likein the Cavern
of Lost Dreams designs.

And it's my design.

-Very interesting.-Yeah.

- Very, very interesting.-Look at these.
- Very, very interesting.-Look at these.

The Cotterpin Doozer design!

So?

Different, but I like it.

He liked it! See?

Finished?

Finished now?

I agree, and we did it together.

We combined what we both knew.

And the results are...

A solid hit!

We've got a winner on our hands!

Say, this is good.

Why, humans could eat this too.

I can see the ad campaign now.

"End those lonely
mornings with a cereal

both you and your
dog can chew on."
