[MAX ROARS]

[ROARS]

You'’re a lion.

Right. Now, what'’s this?

Quack, quack.

A duck. My turn.

[HIGH-PITCHED LAUGHTER]

That'’s easy.
You'’re Wheezie.

Yup.Want to go to Dragon Land?

And see our dragon
friends for real?

Definitely.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

And a-one, and a-two,

and a-three.

Back at you.

Heads up, Zaky.

I got it, I got it.

Whoa!

EMMY & MAX:
Ord!

Nice catch, Ord.

[ALL LAUGH]

We'’re playing
no-claws dragon ball.

Wanna try?

You can hit the ball
with any part of your body,

except your claws.

That'’ll be cinchy,
since we don'’t have claws.

Ah-ah-ah. You can'’t hit it
with your hands either.

It'’s just like soccer.Right.

Uh-huh. Uh, you got it.

Uh, what'’s soccer?

Oops.

CASSIE:
Wow.

You'’re good, Emmy.

Hey, let'’s play
over there.

Then we can bounce
the ball off the trees.

Yeah.Sounds like fun.

Let'’s go.Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

I don'’t think we should.

The ball might get
lost in there.

Not if we'’re careful.

Come on.

[♪♪]

I... I don'’t know.

Aren'’t you coming, Cassie?Yeah, come on.

[SIGHS]

[♪♪]

Tree pass.

Sky pass.

Head-boink pass.

EMMY:
Whoa.

Let'’s get the ball.

Uh, wait, Emmy.

I don'’t think we should.

It doesn'’t look like
any cave I'’ve ever seen.

Don'’t be silly.
It'’s just a plain old cave.

And we have to find the ball
or we can'’t play anymore.

Come on, Cassie. If we don'’t
like it, we can fly out.

Yeah, and it'’s only
a little dark inside.

And so it'’s only
a little scary.

And if it'’s only
a little scary,

we can go in.

As long as we come out
real fast.

I guess I'’m the only one

who doesn'’t want
to go in.

Wait a minute.

This floor is squishy.

It'’s so...

Bouncy-wouncy!

Fun.Smelly.

I'’m gonna wait
out here.

But, Cassie...Don'’t be such a worrywart.

Found it.

[RUMBLING][ALL GASP]

Whoa!

Hey.
What happened?

Who turned out
the lights?

ALL:
Whoa!

[ALL SCREAM]

Where are we?

I'’ve never been in a cave
this squishy.

Boy, it'’s dark.

Really, really dark.

Let'’s get back out
through the tunnel.

[♪♪]

ZAK:
It'’s closed.

There'’s no way out.

We'’re doomed!

[SPARKS]What'’s that?

Ow.

You always go out just
when I need you the most.

Ah.

Who are you?

Glimmer. Who are you?

I'’m Wheezie, and this
is my brother Zak.

And Ord and
Max and Emmy.

So nice to meet you all.

I was getting lonely sitting
in here all by myself.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Can'’t count
on anything these days.

Not even your own tail light.

Hallelujah.

Do you know how
to get out of this cave?

Cave? This isn'’t a cave.

ALL: It'’s not?No.

It'’s the stomach
of a big Dragonoceros.

A stomach?

Of a Dragonoceros?

What'’s that?

Just a huge creature

that likes to eat pretty young
fireflies for breakfast.

Uh, please, please
don'’t tell me we'’re really

in the stomach of
a giant Dragonoceros.

Honey, you'’re really in the
stomach of a giant Dragonoceros.

I told you not to
tell me that!

Glimmer, why don'’t you
just fly out?

I tried.

Oh, I tried.

But every time I get to
the Dragonoceros'’ mouth,

it closes shut.
No exit.

Boy, Cassie was right to be
worried about this cave.

Who'’s Cassie?

Cassie'’s our friend.
She'’s outside.

I bet she can help us.

Cassie.

Cassie!Cassie!

BOTH:
Help us!

But who is
this Cassie?

Our last chance.

Our only hope.

Oh. In that case,

Cassie...

ALL:
Cassie!

Cassie!

Help!

Oh, are you all right?

EMMY: Yes. We'’re fine.ORD: Yes.

ZAK:
We'’re okay.

Thank goodness.

I was so worried

when I saw the Dragonoceros
close his mouth.

He was sleeping.

And when you woke him up,
his mouth shut tight.

Can you get him
to go back to sleep?

Then maybe he'’ll open his
mouth again and we can fly out.

Why don'’t you read him
a bedtime story?

Like my mommy does
before I go to bed.

He doesn'’t look
very tired.

But I'’ll try anyway.

"Once upon a time,

there was a very, very,
very sleepy Dragonoceros."

[SLURPS]

[SIGHS]
So much for that plan.

I just love this book.

It'’s so readable
and edible.

[GIGGLES]

[♪♪]

I wonder what would happen
if I tickled him.

He might open
his mouth to laugh.

I have another idea.
Cassie.

Tell him he looks sick,
and he has to open his mouth

so you can
check his throat.

And then he'’ll say, "Ah."

I don'’t know,

You don'’t look so good,
Mr. Dragonoceros.

Would you like me
to check your throat?

Say, "Ah."

I guess he wants
a second opinion.

I have an idea.

I'’ll tickle the Dragonoceros,
and he can laugh.

I don'’t think Dragonoceroses
are ticklish.

Me either.

We'’re gonna be here
forever and ever.

[GROANS]

[SCREAMS]

Oops. Sorry, Zak.

That'’s it.

Cassie, how about getting a rock
and dropping it on his foot

so he'’ll yell
and open his mouth?

But then he might
run away.

ALL:
Try it!

Hm.

I was right about
not going into the cave.

And I really think
the tickling will work.

This time I'’m gonna do it.
I think it'’s right.

The first thing I'’m gonna do
when I'’m out of here

is get a tail light
adjustment.

Oops.

Excuse me.[GIGGLING]

Hello? Open up.

You really need to do
some cleaning in there.

Coochie, coochie, coo.

That'’s it.

Coochie coo.

Come on.

Tickle, wickle, pickle.

[LAUGHS]

Yes. Come on out.
The coast is clear.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[LAUGHING]

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Mwah.

You'’re welcome.

Um, who are you?

Glimmer.
You saved me, honey.

You saved all of us.

I guess I did.

I'’m really glad
I finally decided

to do what
I thought was right.

My badge is glowing.

ORD & WHEEZIE:
You'’re the best!

Oh.

But we never did get
our dragon ball.

Never say never.

[LAUGHS]

ALL:
Whoa!

Nice catch.

Except you used
your hands.

[ALL LAUGH]

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

Okay.

Guess who I am this time.

"Oh, this thing never works.

It always goes off just when
you need it the most."

If you'’re trying
to be Glimmer,

do it like this.

[BOTH LAUGH]

EMMY:
Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to
the greatest show...

Coming through.
Vroom!

Max. Stop it.Vroom, vroom.

You'’re ruining
my circus.

Well, you'’re in the way
of the road I'’m building.

Now look what you did.

Cool, huh?
I bet Ord likes it too.

Wait for me.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[PLAYS FANFARE]

Help! Oh, help!

The mean knight are
attacking the castle.

Don'’t worry,
Princess Cassie.

Some brave hero
will come to save us.

Hi, Ord.
Check out my bulldozer.

It'’s Sir Max
and Lady Emmy.

Just in time.

Wanna join
our game?

Definitely.
Uh-uh

Vroom.
Hey.

We'’re playing
Knights and Dragons.

Uh, okay.

Be careful
in the grass, Max.

The Nodlings
are working in there.

MAX:
Vroom, vroom.

Don'’t worry, Cassie.
I'’m a great driver.

[ALL CHIRPING]

Oh, wait, Max,
didn'’t you hear that?

Hear what?

Someone yelling.

Oh, no.

You went over
the Nodlings mushtrees.

[CHIRPING, CLAMORING]

What are they saying?

Uh, they'’re
really mad.

ZAK:
Because you broke their wagon.

And now they don'’t have anything
to carry their mushtrees in.

What'’s a mushtree?

It is like a mushroom,
only it'’s a tree.

Well, not to big dragons like
us, but to the little Nodlings

these are really huge.

And they cut them down

and eat their fruit
and chop them up into firewood

to keep themselves
warm in the winter.

But without
their wagon,

the Nodlings won'’t be able
to carry any mushtrees home.

ORD:
And then they will be cold.

And even worse, hungry.

GIANT OF NOD:
What'’s going on there?

It'’s the Giant of Nod.

[♪♪]

Huh, I still can'’t
believe you'’re a giant.

You'’re so small.

[GIGGLING]

Wheezie.

Maybe to you,

but to my Nodlings,

I'’m gigantic!

Who did this?

Uh, I guess I did. Sorry.

"Sorry" isn'’t good enough.

I demand that you fix
our wagon immediately!

I didn'’t mean to break it.

It was an accident.

Can'’t we just
forget about it?

And leave my Nodlings with
no way to gather mushtrees?

Never!

The Giant of Nod
is right, Max.

It'’s not okay to
just keep on playing.

Yeah, Cassie warned you to
be careful in the tall grass.

Okay, okay. I'’ll fix
their silly wagon.

Can you help me?

Sure.You betcha.

Definitely.I have some glue.

And here'’s some tape.

Oh, careful
with that, Wheezie.

You'’ll make a mess.

[GIGGLING]

[♪♪]

There. All fixed.

[SQUEAKING]

Now look what you'’ve done!

CASSIE:
Here you go.

Try it now.

[ALL SQUEAKING]

[GASPS]
Uh-oh.

Bad idea.
Oopsie.

This won'’t do at all!

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Don'’t worry,
Mr. Tiny Giant, sir.

We'’ll have it good
as new in no time.

Won'’t we, Zaky?I doubt it.

WHEEZIE:
Hm. The wheels are sticky.

That'’s all.

Well, what do you put
on sticky wheels

to make them unsticky?

My mommy uses peanut butter to
take chewing gum off my scales.

Love it!

Hm. Still sticky.

[SNIFFING]

Look, Wheezie, a zipmunk.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

That'’s how the Nodlings
can move their wagon.

Zipmunk power.

Hey, got any peanuts, Ord?

You betcha.

Hm. How would you like to help
the Nodlings, Mr. Zipmunk?

Okay,

just zip around to
the front of the wagon.

There you go.

Now, all you have to do,

is drop a few peanuts
here and there,

and when the zipmunk
tries to get them,

he'’ll pull you wagon so you can
pick up all your mushtrees.

[♪♪]

Okay, Mr. Zipmunk.

Go get '’em!

[ALL SQUEAKING]

[♪♪]

MAX:
It'’s working.

Way to go, Wheezie.

You did it.[GIGGLES]

Well, that'’s more like it.

[SQUEAKS]

Oh, no!

I'’ll get him another peanut.

Don'’t throw it, Max.
The zipmunk will--

[♪♪]

Quick! Get him!

[WHISTLING]

[NODLINGS SQUEAKING]

[LAUGHING]

Cut it out. Cut it out.
It tickles.

Yo, Sid.

Did you see a little zipmunk
zipping around here somewhere?

[LAUGHING]
Yes.

I think he'’s packing my trunk...

[LAUGHING]

...and getting ready to leaf.

Leaf! Ha!

[CACKLING]

[NODLINGS SHOUTING]

I hear the Nodlings.

Almost.

Got them.

WHEEZIE:
The Nodlings are okay.

ZAK:
But their wagon'’s totaled.

Guess I shouldn'’t have
thrown that peanut, huh?

I'’m really sorry.

Sorry schmorry.

What do you plan to do about
the damage you'’ve caused?

I don'’t know. I have
to figure something out.

What can I do to help them
get food and stay warm?

Uh, I don'’t know.
I'’m stumped.

[LAUGHING]

Get it? Tree? Stumped?

Come on, you gotta
admit that'’s funny.

Maybe the Nodlings could eat
something besides mushtrees.

Like some
cheese.

[ALL SQUEAKING]

[SIGHS]
It'’s no use.

If only Max hadn'’t brought his
silly bulldozer to Dragon Land.

I know. The Nodlings
can use my bulldozer

to gather
their mushtrees.

ALL:
Huh?

All you have to do
is press this button

and make the front
go up or down.

And pull this to take off
the back part.

And it'’s a lot more fun if you
can make noises like this:

Vroom, vroom!

ALL:
Vroom, vroom!

Go on, try it.

[ALL SQUEAKING]

I don'’t think they know
how to drive it, Max.

And the sun'’s
going down.

We better head home, Max.

But what about
the Nodlings?

Maybe you can think
of something tonight

and come back
tomorrow.

Nuh-uh. I'’m not leaving till
I fix what I messed up.

ORD:
Oh, no!

I broke your toy.

Hey, I know what the Nodlings
can use for a wagon.

This.

[ALL SQUEAKING]

I think they like it.

Are you kidding?
They love it!

Thank you, Max.

Now my Nodlings
will be able to cut down

more mushtrees than ever.

Whoa.

[GIGGLES]

Yeah!
All right!

Way to go, Max.

[WHEEZIE LAUGHS]

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

Come on, Em,
let'’s play some more.

Can I drive the bulldozer
this time?

Sure.

Vroom. Vroom. Oops.

You wrecked
my Nodlings'’ home.

I demand you fix it
immediately.
