That's me, Fred the house cat.

When my family leaves
for the day,

I don't just sit inside
watching the world go by.

(Door closing)

I become...

Nature Cat:
Oh, he's so cute.

Daisy:
So adorable.

Hal:
Oh, can we keep him?
Huh, huh, can we, please?

NATURE CAT:
Aah!

Oh!

Just when you thought
Sir Galahad

couldn't get any cuter...

Hal:
He got cuter!

So, so much cuter.

NATURE CAT:
Ooh!

(Tittering and speaking
gibberish)

Squeeks:
Hey, you guys, you got to try
a hickory nut. It's...

(Gasping)

...delicious.

Who is that?

Nature Cat:
Squeeks, this is
Sir Galahad.

Sir Galahad,
this is Squeeks.

Squeeks:
Nice to meet you.

(Laughing)

Sir Galahad:
The pleasure
is all mine.

What do you say you let me out
from this cage

so I can properly
say hello?

Squeeks:
Um...okay.

(Laughing)

Yes!

Wait, Hal,
he's not allowed out.

Oh my hamster honour,

I will come out
for a brief moment,

and then scoot back in.

I promise.

ALL:
Okay!

Hal, we need to be
responsible.

We're pet-sitting
Sir Galahad.

Remember the rules
Dad told the kids?

You're not,
under any circumstances,

allowed to let Sir Galahad
out of the cage,

or you'll be
in big trouble.

(Loud thudding)

Whoops, how did
that happen?

Oh, Daisy, if I let rules
dictate my life,

I would not have seen
the magnificent ruins

of Machu Picchu,

smelled the sweet aroma of
the Amazonian rain forest lily,

or kissed the dainty hand

of a beautiful,
fair maiden.

(Kissing)

And this is where I say...

Yes?

...so long, toots!

Thanks for the nuts.

(Laughing)

I'm never going back
into that cage.

(Laughing)

♪ Baby, I was born to run ♪

What just happened?

Sir Galahad got away.

I told you we shouldn't
let him out.

No! Come back, mi amore.

Hey!

Oh, I don't see him anywhere.
My love.

Where is he?
Where Galahad go?

We need to find
Sir Galahad

before our family
gets home,

or we're going to be
in huge trouble.

What do we do?
What do we do?

What do we going to do?

Seriously, what do we
going to do?

Sir Galahad 's gone AWOL.

We do what we do
for any escapee,

any cage breaker,
any rogue rodent.

We track them down
and bring them back.

Hmm, no animal tracks.

Daisy, what do you hear?

A few butterflies
fluttering near Foley's pond.

A snoring raccoon
over in the old tree stump.

But other than that, nada.

No sight, no sound.

(Gasping)

How about smell?

Release the hound!

(Mumbling)

Uh, hey, Hal?

Buddy? You're the hound.

Pick up
that hamster scent!

Oh, me? Righto!

(Sniffing)

Found him.

Nice work, Hal.

Thank you.

Ah-ha!

Furry. A bit squishy.

I've got him!

HAL:
Mr. Chewinski?

(Squeaking)

Oh, I thought I lost you

and now I found you,
and now I'm happy!

Whoa!

Uh, how are we going
to find Sir Galahad now?

Oh, brother.

(Toy squeaking)

Hey, look at the signs
Hal left.

His fur, and trampled grass.

These tell us
Hal was here.

Wouldn't Sir Galahad leave signs
to show where he's been?

Yes.

Hmm. Oh, huh! Interesting.

Hamsters like to gnaw on things

to keep their teeth
from growing too much.

Oh, we could look
for chewed sticks.

Yeah. Oh, let's see.
What else.

Oh, we could look for hair.

What colour
is Sir Galahad 's hair?

Gorgeous.

It's brown.

We can look for brown
hair patches.

What else?

Dreamy eyes, beautiful teeth,
bad-boy image.

Hamsters need to drink water,
and they eat seeds and nuts.

Oh, hello there.

Nuts.

Oh, wait, Sir Galahad
was eating those.

(Sniffing and gasping)

It's his.

Galahad was here.

(Camera shutters clicking)

HAL:
Hey, guys!

Look what I found.

What is that?

(Toy squeaking)

Oh, I apologize sir.
What "we" found.

You guys, I know this trial.

Mice and squirrels use this
all the time

to get through the woods.

Do you think Sir Galahad
would follow this trail

instead of making
a new one?

He sure would.

And look, he did.

Time to find
that crooked critter,

that villainous vomit,
that--

Uh, Nature Cat?

We really should
get moving here.

No, wait, wait, wait.
One more.

That wrongdoing rodent.

Oh, that's a good one.
Worth the wait.

Onward and yonward!

Nature Cat:
(Laughing)

We're on the right path.

(Squeeks Stomach growling)

Squeeks:
I'm so hungry.

I wish I had
one of those nuts right now.

Well, if Sir Galahad

hadn't stolen
your hickory nuts, you would.

You guys, Sir Galahad
didn't steal them.

He certainly did. Look.

So long, toots.
Thanks for the nuts.

Well, you don't know
Sir Galahad like I do.

Halt!

Which way did he go?

Which way did he go?

Signs, signs.
Look for signs.

Hey, wait.

What do you think?

(Gasping)

It's Sir Galahad 's.

I'd know that beautiful
brown hair anywhere.

Oh where, oh where
is my brave hamster now?

That's exactly what we're
going to find out, Squeeks.

We're coming for you,
Galahad.

Onward and yonward!

(Sniffing)

Nature Cat!

More signs.

We're still hot
on Galahad 's trail.

(Laughing)

He will rue the day
he lied to us.

Sir Galahad didn't
lie to us, Nature Cat.

Oh, he certainly did.
Look.

On my hamster honour,

I will come out
for a brief moment,

and then scoot back in.

I promise.

Technology.

All signs
point this way.

We're getting closer and closer.
I can feel it.

Huh?

We've hit a dead end.
No more signs.

And no Sir Galahad.

No!

I know you're safe,
because you're so brave

and smart... and cute.

And I still miss you so.

(Lips smacking)

You know where Galahad is,
don't you?

How could I know
where he is?

Why are you protecting him?

I have no idea
where he is.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't!

No, you don't.

Yes, I do!

No, you don't. No, you don't.

Yes, I do! I do!

At least I think I do.

And you're right.

Sir Galahad did lie to us
to get out of the cage.

He did take my food.

Now I see who Sir Galahad
really is.

He is not a good hamster!

No, he's not, Squeeks.

And we need to bring him
to justice.

Help us bring him
to justice.

Well...

all animals need water.

He's probably thirsty
right now.

I know I am.

Water? That's it!

Hey, is there any water
around here?

(Squeaking)

What's that,
Mr. Chewinski?

(Squeaking)

There's a creek
that way?

Then that's where we go!
Tallyho!

You did the right thing,
Squeeks.

Let's catch that hamster!

Keep your eyes peeled
for signs of Sir Galahad.

Look, you guys.
Hamsters love to gnaw.

These are his teeth marks.

He's here.
Great work, Squeeks.

Look, more chewed sticks.

Wait, I hear him.
Over there.

Bingo.

Hold it right there,
Galahad.

(Spitting)

Huh?

The jig's up, pal.

You're going back
to the cage.

Never!

♪ Baby, I was born to run ♪

Whoa!

Help! Help!

I mean, I wasn't born
to swim!

(Sighing)

Water.

Why did it have to be water?

(Whimpering)

Help me!

Reach out farther,
Mr. Chewinski.

I got him, I got him.

I don't got him.

Squeeks!

(Sir Galahad sobbing)

So scary!

So-- So-- So-- So scary.

Oh, oh, don't let go.

Hold me.

(Sobbing)

And this goes as a lesson
for all rule-breakers out there.

Crime does not pay.

Squeeks, listen to me.

Squeeks, I-- I love you.

You got to be kidding.

Mr. Chewinski,
this is on you, buddy.

Watch him.

But, baby,
I was born to run.

Yeah? Then turn around,
toots.

(Laughing)

I'm running!

(Laughing)

I told you
I was born to run.

That was really nice
of you, Squeeks,

putting the wheel
in there.

Ah, well, what can I say?

I'm a nice mouse.

You sure are, Squeeks.
You sure are.

(Narrator reading
onscreen text)

NATURE CAT:
The moon, a mere 238,855 miles

away from where I stand
right now.

A cat has never walked
on the moon.

But I intend to change all that,
for I, Nature Cat,

will boldly go where no cat
has gone before:

to the moon!

(Crickets chirping)

So who's with me?

Oh, oh, oh! I'm so in!

Explore the moon?
Come on, you guys.

(Gasping)

Wait, isn't the moon
made of cheese?

Moon cheese!

Oh, baby, I'm in.

Uh, I certainly can't commit
until I hear

how you're planning
on getting to the moon.

Oh, that minor detail?

Ha-ha!

Observe.

Ta-da!

Ready for blastoff,
Captain.

Moon cheese!

Here we go.
Counting down.

ALL: Three, two, one...

Uh, guys?

This is not going
to end well.

ALL:
Blastoff!

Onward and yonward!

Look out, moon, here we--

(All crashing)

Uh, hello,
moon creature.

We come in peace.

Come on, I'll show you
how to get to the moon.

Ooh, nanu-nanu.

This rocket ship is how
we're going to get to the moon.

ALL:
Ooh.

Yes, yes, yes.
I must say,

amazing work, Daisy.

Thanks. Oh, look.

The sun's setting,

so the moon's
going to rise soon.

We've got to blast off when the
moon is right in front of us,

so we know where to aim.

Guys, we gotta move!
We gotta move!

Yahoo! To the moon!

Uh, Hal, this is just
a drawing of the rocket ship

we're going to build.

This can't fly us.

Oh, interesting.

And besides, what you're
doing there is impossible.

Oh.

(Grunting)

Let's build a rocket ship.

Tallyho!

Hello.

(Panting)

(Exclaiming)

♪

(Whistling)

I, uh, meant to do that.

Good work, everyone.

Now that's what I call
a rocket ship.

ALL:
To the moon!

NARRATOR:
You say you're going
on a moon adventure, hmm?

Well, be ready, because
the moon is very different

than here on Earth.

The moon is like a vast,
empty desert

without any water
to drink.

(Laughing)

Whoa, that sure is dry.

And you better
bring air to breathe,

because there's no air
on the moon.

There's less gravity
on the moon than on Earth.

On the moon, you would weigh
about one-fifth

of what you weigh on Earth.

Less gravity pull
means more bouncing

when walking on the moon.

(Laughing):
How about that?

See? The moon is very
different from here.

So we have to make sure
we have everything we need

to survive on the moon.

Okay, let's see here.
Air?

Air. Check.

And, uh, water?

Water. Check.

How about food?

Food? Check.

Food? Check.

And don't forget about all
the delicious moon cheese dishes

we can make.

Oh, mac and moon cheese,
moon cheese pizza,

grilled moon cheese
sandwiches,

moon cheese fondue,
moon cheese fricassee,

moon cheese flambé,
moon cheese au gratin.

Moon cheese!

So, is there anything else
we need?

Ah, just a few things from home.

(Toys squeaking)

You might want to pack
a little lighter, Hal.

Okay.

HOUSTON:
Uh, Daisy, ma'am? A moment.

This is Houston.
He's going to monitor us

and man mission control
from here.

It is an honour
to be a part of this mission.

Great to have you,
Houston.

So, is our flight plan set?

All set, ma'am.

Just waiting for
a confirmed visual of the moon.

(Howling)

Next time I'm howling
on the moon.

There's your visual,
Houston.

Copy that, ma'am.

It's go time!

♪

(Squeaking)

Mission control.
Come in, mission control. Over.

This is mission control.
All clear for liftoff. Over.

I jus want to say
there's no one else

I'd rather go
to the moon with.

Now, let's make history.

HOUSTON:
Countdown for liftoff.

ALL:
Five, four, three,

two, one.

Blastoff!

We have liftoff.

Stand by.
Exiting Earth's atmosphere.

Hey, what's the blue marble
way back there?

(Gasping)

It's Earth.

Wow!

I live there.

Man, oh, man.

Take a look at this.

ALL:
The moon!

Whoa!

I can't wait to be the first cat
to walk on the moon.

I can't wait to howl
on the moon.

I can't wait to find
some moon rocks.

I can't wait
for the moon cheese fritters,

the moon cheese melba,
moon cheese cacciatore,

the moon cheese empanadas!

Moon cheese!

(Loud crashing)

(All gasping)

What was that?

Daisy.

Oh, no.

Houston, we have a problem.

Ma'am, you have
a big problem.

Your booster has become
disengaged.

(All gasping)

Repeat: your booster
has become disengaged.

You only have seconds
to fix it, ma'am, or else.

We need someone to go out there
and reattach the booster now.

Nothing will stop me from
being the first cat on the moon.

I'll do it.

Ready, Nature Cat?

I was born ready.

Wait, not yet!
Hold it, no. Okay, sorry.

Just a deep breath.
Jitters. Okay, and now I'm rea--

I am not. Oh, wow.
Ooh, deep breath.

Okay, almost.
Here we go.

And shoulders back, and--

No, no, no, no!

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Ready, I think.

Here we go. Uh...

Tallyho.

Whoa.

Oh, no!

Steady, Nature Cat.

Steady.

Ah.

(Humming)

Whoops.

Almost lost the screwdriver.

(Laughing)

That would not be good.

Yikes! The rocket booster!

Oh, no!

ALL:
Nature Cat!

I'm pretty sure
this is not good.

Yup, this is not good.

At all.

Quick, the hose.

(All grunting)

Ow.

But just as planned.

Way to go, brave boy!

Ha-ha! Oh, well, yes.

Just remind me to never
do that again.

DAISY:
Ready for moon landing.

Okay, stay frosty, Daisy.

Stay Frosty.

HOUSTON:
In three, two, one.

And we're landing.

ALL:
We did it!

One small step for cats,

one giant leap
for felinekind!

(Laughing)

I'm on the moon.

I'm a cat on the moon!

Tallyho!

(Howling)

Moon cheese!

Man, oh man.

Check out this moon rock.

(Gasping)

I'm going to get the cheese.

Moon cheese!

Wait a minute.
What kind of cheese is this?

(Sniffing)

This is dry dust
and rocks.

(Sighing)

Oh, man, looks like
no moon cheese for me.

NATURE CAT:
Say cheese.

Cheese!

Oh, Nature Cat,
thank you so much.

Now let's have
some fun on the moon.
