(Maynard whimpers)

(Maynard screams)

(pack grunting, yapping)

(Gracie laughs)

- Got yourselves a little tangled up there.

Eh, boys?

- Wait a minute.

This is your fault, Gracie.

- Yeah, well.

I did tell ya I didn't wanna play your little games.

- Games?

(tenebrous music)

(Abigale coughs)

- [Hank] Gracie done that on purpose.

- Got us all twisted up and such.

- Y'all done let Gracie outsmart you again.

(Gracie laughs)

So this is all just a game to ya?

- Well, yeah.

You did tell the boys to pretend

to be a scary predator

and for me to act like I was the prey.

Then I got the idea to make things more interesting

with a new spin on maneuver 12b, 6, dash, 2-

- Just what we need, more Gracie ideas.

These ain't games!

These here are goldurn survival drills.

- Aw, why can't you just do 'em without me?

- Because we's a pack.

It takes a whole pack, workin' together,

howlin' together-

(pack howls)

Not now, ya numbskulls! Grrr!

(Abigale coughs)

Can't ya see I'm making a point here.

It takes a whole pack to survive.

And in case it slipped your mind, little missy,

you's a part of that pack.

- Ugh.

All that boring old pack stuff just seems so

pointless.

- [Pack] Huh?

- Pointless?

You just don't get it, do you, Gracie?

Sooner or later, something bad

or worse is gonna happen.

It always does.

(Gracie sighs)

- Nothing's gonna happen.

It never does.

We live in a zoo!

- [PA Announcer] Families with young children.

Don't miss our petting zoo located in the red barn.

- Exactly!

(Abigale coughs)

We're completely surrounded

by all kinda dangerous enemy critters.

- Dangerous?

Really? I don't know about that.

(beast roars)

(truck honking)

(beast growls)

- I suppose whatever that is

don't sound dangerous to ya?

Well, mark my words, miss know-it-all:

Sooner or later, somethin' bad, or worse, is gonna happen.

Always does.

Outta my way.

Nature's a-callin' and my canines is a-floatin'.

Keep, keep steady.

- [Member 6] How's your breathing now?

- [Member 3] Here, use this- - Breathe this oxygen now.

- [Member 7] Oxygen.

- [Member 1] Miss?

- [Gracie] Huh?

(remote control clicks) (TV playing)

- [Actor 1] You just come in here like you own the place.

- [Actor 2] Who do you think you are?

(Gracie groans)

- Huh?

Oh no, no, no, no, no!

(Gracie grunts) (door clanks)

(Gracie barking, growling)

- Ooh la la!

Young wolf, you are awake!

- Stay away, critter.

My paws are lethal...

Hey, why aren't you in a cage?

- Aah.

Excellent question, mademoiselle.

But to understand,

you must first witness the Late Night Movie!

(actress screams)

Like the actors in these films, I, Xavier,

in my own modest way perform.

Sometimes it is a nagging cough.

(Xavier coughs)

Or pink eye.

(Xavier screams)

Or a broken tail.

The humans, they bring me here,

feed me and leave me alone for the night.

Aah.

And that is when the show begins!

Thrillers, dramas,

comedies,

heist films.

From these films I have studied the techniques

of picking locks.

Et voila!

Cages can no longer contain Xavier!

- Is that so, Xavier?

(Gracie gasps)

- You!

- Yeah, and thanks to you,

I'm stuck in a cage, again.

- Are you kiddin'?

You're the reason I'm in this cage.

- You're the one that got us tangled up.

- [Gracie] And you're the one who attacked me!

- Attacked?

If I'd attacked...

Agh, forget it.

So, Xavier, I doubt you can open my cage.

- Prepare to eat your words, fierce feline!

- What're you doin'?

He's a mountain lion!

- Ah, oui. Un carnivore.

You almost fooled Xavier, monsieur.

But perhaps I am too clever for you, hmm?

(Dan growls)

(Gracie growls)

- He would've eaten me if it weren't for my pack training.

Wait.

The pack! I-I have to get outta here.

I have to warn the pack.

- Hmm.

Unlikely allies drawn together.

Xavier, the dashing lock picker, and you...

Um.

- Huh?

Oh. Gracie.

- Gracie, the slow-witted bodyguard.

Together they struggle to beat impossible odds.

Hmm, I like it.

- Uh, you mean you're gonna help me?

A wolf?

- Why not?

- Ahem.

She can't help you beat impossible odds.

But I can.

- You say this why, monsieur?

- I'm from the wild.

I have the skills to survive and to escape.

Plus, the zoo key is right over there,

and I know how to use it.

- Excellente!

Why would Xavier want to escape the zoo?

- You don't want to escape?

- I have my late night movies!

- [Dan] What about you, wolf?

- I just wanna get back to my pack.

Warn them about the one-armed purple pod monster.

(Xavier groaning dramatically)

- Did this purple pod monster with one arm glow

with a demonic light?

- You saw it too!

- Of course.

In my favorite of all Late Night Movies.

Horror!

(Xavier cackling excitedly)

Skinny wolf, I suspect you saw only the first stage.

The chrysalis.

Within is the real danger.

- You mean...

something worse?

- Of course,

whatever is growing inside is always revealed to be worse.

(thunder cracks)

But never before the second commercial break.

- Hey, Felix. You hear that?

- Oh. I think something's not right.

- Yes, you thinking.

So cut it out before you hurt yourself

and let me sleep.

(indistinct animal sounds)

(macaques snoring)

(air vent ticking)

(air vent ticking)

Hmm?

Hmm?

Stay back you...

you...

whatever you are!

(Felix yells)

(Felix screams)

- I gotcha!

(Fred grunts)

(Felix screams)

(macaque screams)

(spooky music)

We need a plan.

- I have one.

- Great. What is it?

- Every monkey for himself!

- Huh?

(Fred screams)

(Fred groans)

(Felix hooting)

(tense music)

(door rattling)

- How do humans make it look so easy?

(mutant macaques hooting)

(latch clicking)

(Felix grunts)

Rodent.

- Capybara, you ignorant monkey.

- Hold that door!

It's coming!

It's coming for me!

- No ostriches!

- No! Close it!

Move! I will do it!

- [Ash] It's coming for me!

- Watch the tail!

(Ash panting)

- [Frida] No! No!

Close the door!

No!

- Every time!

(mutant groans)

- Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

- Eh...

you're welcome?

- That was sarcasm.

You and your ugly monkey friend tried to shut me out!

- He's not my friend.

- Friends with a guinea pig?

- Capybara!

Stop looking at me.

(Frida growls)

(Felix growls)

(Ash growls)

- Hey.

(Felix screams)

- Mountain lion!

- [Ash and Frida] Aagh!

- [Frida] Wolf! - [Felix] Aagh! Two!

(Ash screams)

- Carnivores!

- Get in front of me!

- They're caged.

Phew.

Unnecessary heart attack.

(Xavier humming)

- Voila!

(tense music)

(Ash and Felix scream)

- Wait, here!

Have a delicious capybara!

- Put me down,

you animal!

- Panic attack!

- Okay, but...

Okay, wait.

- Put me down!

- Just stop.

What's going on out there?

- Monsters

have overrun

the zoo.

- What?

Could this have all started from the purple pod?

- It has happened before.

- It has?

- In countless films.

Have you seen Invasion

of the Body-? - Ahem.

Hm.

(wheels rumbling)

(stand clinks)

Oh, come on.

No one else is in a cage.

And naturally, I will abide by the watering hole rule.

- What's the watering hole rule?

- Wow.

Zoo animals really don't have a clue.

In the wild,

when there's a common threat, like dying of thirst,

animals leave each other alone at watering holes.

This is like that.

So, lemme out.

- Pshh.

- What do I look like to you?

- A bird.

- What else?

- A...

big bird?

- What else?

Go on.

You can say it.

You know you want to.

- A big delicious bird!

(Dan roars)

- Exactly, carnivores stay in their cages.

Except for the skinny wolf.

And only because the stupid lemur already let her out.

- All right!

Cut the chatter, animals.

Listen up.

As the most evolved creature here,

I'm taking charge.

- I don't think so.

(Frida chuckles)

- Capybaras do not trust monkeys.

- Would you trust a student of the cinema?

- I thought you were a lemur.

(door banging)

(mutant growls)

- What's that?

- As I was saying,

since I have the biggest brain, I-

(door banging) (Felix screams)

- You definitely have the biggest mouth.

(door banging)

(mutant grunts)

(mutant growls)

- Incroyable.

It has become some kind of gummy zombie.

A gum-beast!

- Aagh! - Aagh!

(Gracie growls)

(Gracie grunts)

- I can't hold it alone.

- Your sacrifice is appreciated.

- Seriously?

Whoa.

- Lower animals out of the way.

(tense music)

(Dan gasps)

(mutant Fred roars)

(light music)

- Excusez-moi.

Hmm.

- Oh!

(Dan grunts)

- Ugh.

Huh?

- I know that leg.

Fred?

- Whoa!

(Felix screams)

- Get it off me!

- Aagh!

Huh?

(Frida screams)

(Dan growls)

(Frida screams)

- No, no me toque.

No me toque pata gigante.

(tense music)

(Dan growls)

- Wow.

(rifle clicks)

(dart thwacks)

- Et voila!

Piece of cake.

- Looks clear.

- Okay, on my command-

- Stuff it, fleabag.

- Stop!

- Pardon me, monkey.

- Merci. - Haven't you heard

of chain of command?

You ignorant animals.

(mutant Fred grunts)

(intimidating music)

- Hmm.

What if...?

(Gracie grunts)

- Ow.

(mutant macaques hooting)

(mutant Fred roars)

(Dan moans)

(light music)

- Hey, stop!

(Dan groans)

This is humiliating. Leave me.

- I have a better idea.

You be my bodyguard.

- Ow!

- Help me get back to my pack and then I'll give you this...

What did you call it?

Key.

Deal?

- No deal.

(Dan grunts)

Gimme that thing.

(mutants growl)

- All right. So long.

(mutant screeches)

- Grrr. Deal.

- Sorry. What was that?

Hard to hear you over the monsters gettin' so close.

- Oh, don't push it, wolf.

- Okay, sure.

I'm Gracie, by the way.

What's your name?

- What difference does it make?

Dan.

Can we go now?

- Hmm.

I wonder where the others went.

(restrained music)

(sign humming)

- Something further down the food chain go first.

You, big rodent!

- Stop calling me rodent!

- But aren't capybaras rodents?

- That's not my point.

- Sh!

- Why is he in the lead?

Are we really going to be led by someone

with a bird brain for a brain?

- You literally just said someone else go first.

(toy squeaks)

(group gasps)

(toy squeaks)

(Ash gasps)

(Felix gasps)

- Ay!

(toy squeaks)

(mutant antelope grunts)

(group screams)

- Ah, a convenient plot device.

(toy squeaks)

(mutant roars)

(Ash and Felix scream)

(toy squeaks)

(mutant grunts)

(eerie music)

(Ash screams)

(Frida yells)

- Huh?

- Huh?

(Gracie sniffing)

Huh?

Where'd that come from?

- This is a zoo.

Nothing makes sense here.

(toy squeaks)

(mutant growls)

(mutant shrieks)

(footsteps tapping)

Aagh! - Aagh!

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

Oh!

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

- Pod monster!

(Dan and Gracie panting)

(manhole cover clangs)

(Dan grunts)

(crickets chirruping)

Is this the wild?

- What kind of wolf are you?

We're still in the zoo.

(shrubs rustling)

- Hmm?

Aagh! - Whoa!

(both yell)

Whoa! - Whoa!

(Gracie gasps)

I'm drownin'! I'm drownin'!

Oh, (chuckles) what do you know?

(crickets chirruping)

(tense music)

(swings squeak)

(playground equipment screeches)

- Listen up, kid.

It's more dangerous out here than I thought.

So you're gonna have to do things my way.

- Huh, your way?

- Yeah, you do exactly what I say when I say it.

No questions asked.

You got it?

(Gracie chuckles)

What's so funny?

- Well, so far, all I've seen is

your way gettin' you shot in the butt.

- Hey!

That wasn't my fault.

- Twice.

- That wasn't my fault either!

- Whatever you say.

- Oh, you've got a lot of nerve for a scrawny zoo-born-

(ball pit rumbling)

Hmm.

(tense music)

All right, we gotta get outta here!

- Hey! - What?

- You call that body guardin'?

- Oh, yeah.

(Dan grunts)

- You were gonna leave me.

- Well, I didn't, did I?

Whoa!

- Hi.

I'm Poot.

What are you?

I'm a pygmy hippo.

Or am I?

I'm a whale!

Just kidding.

I really am a pygmy hippo.

But hey, if you see my herd,

do not tell them you saw me.

I'm not supposed to be out after dark.

Oh, hey!

You could tell them that you saw a whale.

- What do we do with her?

- What do you mean?

- [Gracie] She's just a cub.

She'll never make it on her own.

- Is she a mountain lion cub?

A wolf cub?

- Just a whale.

That's all you saw.

You're tall.

And ugly.

(Dan sighs)

- It's dead weight.

- Yeah, you're right.

But what if we get hungry before we find the pack?

Could be a good snack!

- Hm.

- Come on, Poot.

- Oh, go with strangers?

Great idea!

- [Frida] What are you doing?

We cannot stay together.

- [Felix] Agreed. So scram.

I found this door first.

- [Ash] No, you didn't. The lemur did.

- [Felix] Oh, I did so!

You're being so immature!

- [Ash] And I am in literal outrage.

- [Xavier] Ah, voila!

(group panting)

- I'm in such bad shape.

- Oh, that was close!

Ay, Dios mio!

(Ash and Felix yell)

- Oh, this is not a good place.

This is not a good place.

No, no, no. - Oh, no.

We've entered the house of...

- They're all...

They're all...

- Toys.

(toys squeak)

They're all toys.

(thunder rumbling)

- Obviously.

What did you think they were?

(restrained music)

(snow globe plays zoo jingle)

- I hate that song.

Hmm.

(Felix screams)

- Ironic.

Xavier has always wanted to be in the movies.

And now that it is happening,

I wish it was not so.

Oh.

Why did it have to be a monster movie, huh?

Why not a comedy? We could laugh.

(Xavier laughs)

Or a musical? We could dance.

(sprightly music)

- Why did we let him come with us?

- Are you all blind?

Do you not see what is happening?

- That's just it, you ridiculous lemur.

We don't.

- Do you?

- Mesdames et Messieurs,

welcome to the zoopocalypse!

(alarming music)

(mutants calling)

(mutant macaques growl)

- [Poot] Are we there yet?

- [Gracie] For the hundredth time, Poot, no.

I'm starting to feel like having a snack.

(mutant leopard growls)

(mutant cackling)

- Does your herd know you're out after dark?

Oh, hey! Can we play a game?

- [Dan] Let's play the stay very quiet game.

- [Poot] I lose!

Let's play again.

- [Dan] I said, stay very-

- Ha, you lose!

This is a fun game.

♪ Mm-Mm ♪

♪ I'm so super quiet ♪

♪ Mm-Mm ♪

- You lose again, Poot.

- [Poot] Oh, yeah!

- I'm sure the pack would've used

Camouflage Tactic 9, Charlie 6.

That'd be the obvious strategy.

- Who's Charlie?

What's a strategy?

- Strategies are ways to deal with enemies.

My Gramma Abigale's real big on them.

And pack training.

(Dan grunts)

Saved me from you, tough guy.

- Kid, all your pack training did was get us both caught.

I was just trying to get out of...

(footsteps tapping in the distance)

- Gramma Abigale?

Gramma Abigale,

I knew the pack could handle a few monsters.

- If that's your grandma, we're too late.

- What? Oh, no.

Gramma Abigale's always like that.

She's just old.

(mutant wolf groans)

(mutant wolf moans)

(mutant wolf screeches)

Gramma Abigale!

(Gracie yells)

- Gracie, get away from her!

- Gramma!

(alarming music)

- Ooh, tag!

I wanna play!

Uh, maybe later.

- [Dan] No teeth! Lucky break.

- Did you just punch my gramma in the face?

- Sorry, kid, but your grandma's a monster.

- You're the monster!

- I thought I was the bodyguard!

- Ugh. - Huh?

(mutant wolves howl)

(mutant wolves howl)

We gotta go, kid.

- No.

Go without me.

I belong with them.

- No, that won't help anyone.

- Hi! I'm Poot-

- No! No!

No! Let go of me!

Gramma!

(mutant wolves howl)

(thunder cracks)

- There must be a way out of here.

- Hmm. There is.

(macaque hooting)

(macaque screams)

Ugh, nevermind. There isn't.

- The safest thing to do is to stay put until sunrise

and the humans return.

- Xavier, what happens next in the Late Night Movies?

- A good question, Frida.

Often at this point, the heroes are starving

and resort to eating each other!

(Felix and Ash gasp) (Frida gasps)

Or, we can eat popcorn!

- Is that food?

- It is a critical element of the cinema

that Xavier has always wanted to try.

- Chicos, me first.

Capybaras have low blood sugar.

- Don't be ridiculous.

We go from the top of the food chain down to...

to the one with the tiniest brain.

- That does it, monkey!

(uneasy music)

- Savage beast.

(Felix grunts)

- Stop, stop, stop!

We should not fight during the zoopocalypse!

- No beak!

(Ash laughs)

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

Aagh!

(Frida panting)

So, you wanna fight?

Hi-ya!

- The rodent!

- The survivors' long festering animosities

finally boil over.

A l'attaque!

(crickets chirruping)

- Are we there yet?

- No.

But I think the gate is somewhere ahead.

- What am I gonna do?

- What are you doing?

- Nothin'.

There's nothin' left for me to do.

- Oh. Come on, kid.

You, uh...

you owe it to the memory of your pack to keep going.

- Why?

Now I understand that a wolf is nothin' without her pack.

- You're a wolf?

I don't think I'm supposed to talk to wolves.

- Well, suit yourself.

But as promised, I got you back to your pack.

Now toss over the key and I'll be on my way.

- And here I thought you were actually being nice,

but you're just a cold-hearted snake.

(Poot gasps)

- You're a snake?

I'm never supposed to talk to snakes.

- Hand over the key.

- Make me!

(group grunts)

(eerie music)

- Is this a game?

- Uh-oh!

(mutant macaques hooting)

Huh? - Huh?

(Poot laughs)

- Look, the wolf and the mountain lion?

- They have not been turned into gum-beasts.

- Turn it off! - Turn it off!

- Turn it off!

- We must set up barricades.

(Frida screams)

- Uh-oh.

(electricity buzzes and bangs)

(eerie music)

(mutant macaque shrieks)

(mutant antelope shrieks)

- Whoa! Whoa!

(mutant macaque screeches)

- Ha, ha, now this is entertainment!

Wait a minute.

That wolf has a zoo key!

- Felix, quick. Get the door!

- A monkey does not take orders from a bird.

If you want the door-

(Felix and Ash scream)

- [Xavier and Ash] Felix! - Felix!

(mutant alpaca bellows)

(Felix grunts)

- Stop telling me what to do.

I'm the smart one around here.

(mutant alpacas shriek)

- All right. This way!

Ah, nope. Okay, this way!

What?

- That way!

(bell rings)

(Gracie panting)

- No, you can't be serious.

(Gracie grunts)

(Poot laughs)

(tense music)

(Dan growls)

(Dan grunts)

(both panting)

- [Poot] Whoa!

- Whew.

Looks like I saved us.

- We're not out of this yet, kid.

(mutant Fred grunts) - Huh?

(tense music)

- Take cover!

(mutant Fred roars)

- No!

- Whoa!

Whoa!

- Aagh!

- Wee!

Wee!

(Gracie screams)

Wee!

Yeah!

(mutant Fred roars)

- Whoa!

- This one's for Gramma Abigale.

Surprise maneuver 42b.

Hi-ya!

Uh...

oops.

- You killed it.

Uh...

good job.

(mutant Fred growls)

(tense music)

We gotta get outta here.

(Poot laughs)

- [Poot] Wow!

- Could this night get any more strange?

- Hmm. This feels like...

Act two!

- What does that mean?

- It means it will get even stranger.

And the heroes will be betrayed.

(ominous music)

(door creaks)

(mutant Fred roars)

(Poot laughs)

- Aw, thanks.

(mutant Fred grunts)

(mutant Fred grunts)

Uh...

- What?

(mutant Fred roars)

(Gracie shudders)

- Huh?

(mutant Fred roars)

Huh?

- Huh?

- What?

- Huh?

Ugh! - Yech!

(mutant Fred roars)

(Dan and Gracie scream)

(mutant Fred roars)

- You were right.

Definitely stranger.

How many acts are there?

- There are three acts.

- What happens in the third act?

- The third act is the best.

Everything comes to a head.

Sacrifices made, risks taken,

and in the end, triumph.

Or crushing defeat.

- Sacrifices.

What kind of sacrifices?

I have plans

and believe me,

they don't include sacrifices.

(can thuds)

Anyways, give it to me straight, Xavier.

What sacrifices?

- Sh.

Felix,

is that you?

(glass shatters)

(toy squeaks)

(mutant whooshing)

(Ash screams)

(Xavier and Ash scream) (Frida screams)

(mutant kangaroo roars)

(Xavier and Frida scream)

(alarming music)

- A voila!

(mutant kangaroo groans)

(Xavier shudders)

(Frida shudders)

(restrained music)

(footsteps tapping)

(Frida breathing heavily)

(mutant joey screeches)

(Xavier and Ash scream)

(alarming music)

- Whoa!

- Where did it go?

- We have to get outta here.

- But there is nowhere to go.

- Whoa!

(suspenseful music)

(Dan grunts)

(mutant Fred roars)

(Gracie grunts)

- Whoa!

- Gracie!

(Felix laughs)

(Gracie yells)

- Incoming!

(Dan and Gracie scream)

Again!

(mutant Fred screams)

(mutant Fred grunts)

(crickets chirruping)

(Gracie laughs)

- Wow.

- We made it.

- We?

- Yeah.

We.

You've got some pretty good moves.

You know, for a zoo-born animal.

(mutant growls)

- Is that a zoo-born animal?

(Poot laughs)

(footfalls thudding)

- Huh? - Huh?

(horrible music)

(Poot chuckles)

(hybrid creature roars)

(hybrid creature roars)

- Whoa!

(Dan gasps)

Hi.

I'm Poot.

- Aagh.

- Gracie!

Run!

(hybrid creature roars)

Aagh.

Whoa! Whoa!

(Dan grunts)

(hybrid creature grunts)

(tense music)

Aagh!

(Dan grunts)

Whoa!

Whoa!

(Dan grunts)

- Dan!

That was amazin'.

- Rrr...

- What? What are you sayin'?

- Rrr...

Run!

- Oh, Dan.

Not you!

One more game, Poot.

- I'm a whale!

(mutant Dan growls)

- Dan.

It's me.

Gracie.

(skylight creaks)

(skylight cracking)

(Gracie screams)

(Gracie grunts)

- [Radio Announcer 1] Let's talk about the weather.

- [Radio Announcer 2] Well, after tonight's thunderstorms,

it's going to be a beautiful sunny day tomorrow

and we can expect much of the same

over the next couple of days.

You might want to do some of those outdoor activities

that you've been saving up for.

Vancouver, 16.

Calgary, 19 with a high of 22.

Edmonton, 17 with a high of 19.

The situation is much worse across the country.

(eerie music)

- Hmm?

(mutant Dan roars) Aagh!

(tense music)

Aagh!

Aagh!

(ladder clatters)

(mutant Dan growls)

(mutant Dan grunts)

- [Announcer] South of the border, the average temperature.

(Gracie panting)

- Whoa!

(announcer chattering)

- [Announcer] And now a message from our sponsor.

Get ready...

(Dan growls)

family out for a wild adventure at Colepepper Zoo.

This Sunday is free baboon bobble head day.

("The Colepepper Zoo theme song")

- What do I do?

♪ With the Colepepper song ♪

(mutant Dan gurgling)

- Dan!

♪ So many different animals ♪

♪ Are waiting for you ♪

(mutant Dan moans)

- Oh.

Oh, Dan.

I didn't mean to kill ya...

(Dan belches)

What?

Dan...

Is that you?

- Who else would I be?

- You don't remember?

- I remember the gorilla-giraffe thing got me and

then things get hazy, purple.

I was one of them.

- You were drownin'.

- You didn't leave.

- [Gracie] I thought I was too late.

- You saved me.

- Then you changed back after swallowing...

That's it!

It was the soap and water!

- Soap and water cured me.

Ha!

Oh, you're serious?

- It must've.

Wait a minute! I've got an idea.

Okay.

I know how we can save the pack

and the whole zoo!

It'd be tricky, but we'll need help

from Xavier and the others.

- What?

We can't trust them.

And we don't need them.

We got the key.

- But what if the only way is to trust others?

Workin' together, howlin' together.

- Howling together?

Ha. Listen to me, kid.

When it comes down to it,

everyone's on their own.

- But...

even you and me?

- Even you

and me.

- You know what I think?

I think you're afraid.

I think you're a cowardly mountain lion.

- Cowardly!

I'm just not stupid enough to think I can save everybody.

- Stupid?

Was I stupid when you were drownin'

and I saved you?

- Yes. Yes you were.

- Well, if I'm so stupid,

why don't you just save yourself.

- We are done.

- Fine.

Go on, run away.

Who needs a cowardly lion anyway?

(footsteps tapping)

- [Poot] Gracie...

Gracie...

- Aagh!

- Gracie...

- Come on, Poot.

The time for games is over.

We've got work to do.

(mutant screeching in the distance)

(Dan growls)

- Yeah, that's what I get for trying to help other animals.

What was I-?

Aagh.

(restrained music)

(Felix grunts)

Huh?

- Ha, ha. - Grrr.

A monkey?

(Felix grunts)

(Felix laughs)

- Enjoy your new life in the zoo, mountain lion.

- Ugh.

- I have a feeling it'll be short.

(Felix laughs)

(lamp post squeaks)

(light music)

(Felix grunts)

(Felix laughs)

(indistinct twanging)

Huh?

What?

(frog tongue thwacks)

(Felix yells)

(frog croaks)

Tree frogs!

I should've known.

(frog croaks)

(Felix hooting in fright)

(frogs croak)

Oh my God, I gotta get out of here.

(Felix grunts)

Huh?

Oh. The key!

(frogs croak)

Aagh!

Huh?

(Felix laughs)

Aagh.

(frogs croak)

Aagh!

(Poot humming)

- Come on, Poot.

(mutant kangaroo growls)

- Hi, I'm-

- We might be too late.

Wait here for me, Poot.

- [Poot] Okay.

(door creaks)

(Gracie gulps)

(footsteps tapping)

- Hello! - Aagh!

- Young wolf, you are not dead.

A slightly unbelievable plot twist.

- Uh, Xavier,

where are the others?

- My eyes are so dry.

- Who's the kid?

- I'm a snack.

- Aagh. Poot.

I told you to wait outside.

- Where is the mountain lion?

- The coward left.

Felix?

- The traitor abandoned his post.

- We're better off without him.

- It doesn't make any difference.

Apparently, act three is coming and we're in a...

What is it?

- A tragedy!

- Yeah. That.

- Maybe not.

I have a plan.

(Felix screams)

- Huh?

You saved me?

- I saved this.

- Oh!

Wait, wait! Take me with you.

I knew you were a smart mountain lion.

From the moment I saw you.

If we'd stuck with those other fools,

we wouldn't be here right now.

You're better than them.

So let's just use the key and get outta here.

After all, we're both survivors.

We're the same.

(Dan sighs)

- You're right.

I am the same as you.

- Now you're talking!

- Disappointing.

- What?

(Felix gasps)

(Felix laughs)

Oh.

Where are you going?

I really am the only smart one around here.

Fine. I don't need any of them.

(Felix chuckles)

- [Gracie] I saw it with my own eyes.

- I don't buy it.

- That is because you have not been paying attention

to the lessons of the Late Night Movie.

This is obviously the part

when the heroes attempt a final desperado plan.

- Exactement!

- Yes, yes. Exactly!

- But first, the young wolf must make an inspiring speech

about the power of working together.

- Uh. Thank you, Xavier.

Ahem.

Look, we gotta-

- Yeah, I know.

And she's gonna point out that we made it this far

by sticking together.

- Well, yeah. So-

- True, but why would we risk our hides

for the others out there?

- See. What I was gonna say-

- Allow me.

I believe Gracie will respond,

"'Cause they aren't really different.

Beneath the fur, the feathers and the hides,

we're all the same!"

- That's right. We're like-

- Like one big (gags) happy pack.

- Exactly, and-

- Then she will go for our hearts and say,

"Without our help, they have no hope."

- Bravo.

A very inspiring speech, Gracie.

- Hmm.

Why are we letting her talk us into this ridiculous plan?

- Because it is the right thing to do.

- So...

are we doin' this?

- I am honored to be part of your pack, Gracie.

- Mademoiselle, our destiny is in your paws!

(Xavier imitates trumpet playing "La Marseillaise")

- But soap and water? Really?

And it sounds super dangerous.

I'm just...

I-I don't think I can do it.

- Ash, do you not yet realize?

You are the sarcastic skeptic of the team

who thinks he does not care.

But in the end, you will surprise yourself

and rise to the occasion.

A hero.

- A hero?

Me?

Okay. You guys are so pushy.

Stop it!

- Oh!

- What's a movie?

(upbeat music)

- First, I'll get something to attract the monsters.

Next.

Frida, you and Poot will quietly get the soap.

- Quietly!

- [Frida] No hay problema!

(Frida groans)

- [Gracie] Then Ash,

you get the gum-beast elephant to chase ya.

- Wait! What?

- [Gracie] Xavier.

Do you know how to use a rope?

(lasso whishing)

- That's it, pardner.

Just a little closer.

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(Felix humming)

(Felix chuckles)

- Hm?

Ugh.

Come on!

Ohm.

Aagh!

Ugh!

Come on!

(Felix screams)

(Felix grunts)

Oh.

Ha, ha.

(reader beeps)

(Felix laughs)

(Felix gasps)

What!

(Felix gasps)

(frogs croak)

Nice critters. Nice...

Just...

Aagh!

No!

(Felix screams)

(mutants groan)

(buckets clanging)

(Gracie panting)

(mutant screeches)

(mutant frog croaks)

(mutant grunts)

(mutant groans)

- Hm.

(tense music)

(mutant alpaca roars)

(mutant growls)

(Gracie grunts)

(buckets clanging)

(mutants grunting, groaning)

(Gracie panting)

(mutant screeches)

Huh?

Huh?

(mutants cackling)

(Gracie panting)

(intimidating music)

(Gracie grunts)

(Gracie panting)

(restrained music)

(crow caws)

(electricity buzzing)

(Gracie chuckles)

(mutants groaning)

(Gracie chuckles)

Yes!

It's time to wash out all those droolin' mouths.

Ha.

This is actually gonna work!

- This isn't going to work!

(mutant macaque hooting)

(Frida gasps)

(blow thudding)

- Whoa!

My turn! My turn!

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(Ash screams)

- Whoa!

- Oh, no.

(Gracie yells)

(uneasy music)

(mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)

Huh? (mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)

(eerie music)

Oh!

(mutant frog croaks)

(mutant Bunny Zero gibbering)

(mutant frog croaks)

(Gracie grunts)

(mutant Bunny Zero cackles)

(Gracie grunts)

(wolf howls)

(Dan imitates wolf howling)

I don't believe it.

He came back!

- What's he doing here?

- Huh? I should have guessed.

Hidden beneath the fierce carnivore exterior,

a heart of gold!

Gets me every time.

Pull yourself together, Xavier.

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(Dan roars)

(mutant grunts)

(mutant macaque screams)

- Huh?

(Dan roars)

- Best night ever!

Faster! Faster!

(Poot laughs)

(Dan panting)

- Everyone off.

Now!

(Frida grunts)

(air whooshing) (wheels squeak)

(crash roars)

(boxes thudding)

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(mutant Bunny Zero hissing)

- To our glorious climax!

- Abandon ship!

(Ash yells)

(Xavier grunts)

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(blow thudding)

(tower creaks)

(tower moans)

(mutant elephant shrieks)

(crash roars)

(tense music)

- Huh?

(Xavier screams)

(mutant elephant trumpets)

- Xavier!

(Xavier yells)

I've got you.

- I am not ready for my death scene!

- Hold on!

I'm coming!

- Whoa! - Whoa!

- Aah! Aah!

(mutant elephant grunts)

(cistern thudding)

(mutant elephant trumpets)

(crash roars) (water splashing)

(mutants scream)

(water babbling)

(mutants gurgling)

(Xavier groans)

Huh?

From the jaws of defeat,

our hero arc is complete!

- Looks like you messed with the wrong pack, bunny!

(mutant Bunny Zero screams)

Humph.

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

(mutant Bunny Zero splutters)

(restrained music)

(Gracie grunts)

(pack cheering)

- You did it!

- We win, I think. - You did it, Gracie.

- No.

We all did it.

(water gurgling)

- [Pack] Huh?

- It's workin'.

They're gonna be alright.

(bunny laughs)

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

I don't, I don't understand.

It should have worked.

- I don't wanna be that guy.

But I did say soap

and water was a crazy way to cure mutants.

So, you know.

- Uh, amigos.

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

(mutants screeching)

(intimidating music)

- What?

(Ash screams)

(mutants cackling)

- What kind of animal is that?

- That?

I'd call that something worse!

- If it is here we make our last stand,

then so be it.

No! No!

No me toque. No me toque...

- Run!

(alarming music)

- Come on, kid, move it!

(Dan grunts)

(Poot laughs)

No!

Come and get me, you ugly pile of pampered-

(Gracie grunts)

(restrained music)

(Gracie and Dan panting)

- You think it saw us?

- No.

Uh, I mean yes.

(horrible music)

Aagh, look out!

(crash roars)

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

(mutant grunts)

(mutant Poot grunts)

(mutants groaning)

- Again.

Again.

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

(Dan panting)

- Gracie!

(Gracie panting)

Gracie!

Are you all right?

- No.

Reckon I'm all wrong.

About everythin'.

About my plan.

About teaming up with other animals.

And dead wrong about soap and water,

that's for sure.

You'd be safe in the wild right now

if you hadn't made the mistake

of believing in me and my ideas.

- I've made a few mistakes in my life, Gracie.

But believing in you isn't one of them.

Heck, I may have even learned a thing

or two from you tonight.

(Gracie gasps)

(indistinct thudding)

Huh?

(tense music)

(Gracie groans in fright)

- Huh?

(mutant Poot grunts)

Ew.

(mutant Poot gibbering)

Oh.

Poor Poot.

(mutant Poot roars)

Whoa! - Whoa!

(Dan and Gracie gasp)

(snow globe playing zoo jingle)

Oh! (Gracie gasps)

- Hi.

I'm Poot?

(Gracie laughs)

Whoa!

- What just happened?

(Gracie sniffing)

(snow globe playing zoo jingle)

- Oh my.

(Gracie gasps)

That's it!

Soap and water was never the cure.

It was music!

- Oh yeah, 'cause that makes much more sense.

- Oh, I love music.

La, la, la, la.

- Hmm.

This is probably too small, but...

I have an idea.

Dan, do you think you could believe in me one last time?

- Yes.

- You do?

I'm surprised.

- I'm always surprised.

- Don't be.

We're stronger together.

And together we can't lose-

Whoa!

- Dan!

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

Let's go.

(footfall booms)

(thunder cracks)

(mutants shriek)

Run, Poot!

Run!

(Poot grunts)

(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)

I just have to get the lizard to point at the toucan.

(Gracie grunts)

Oh, no!

I need

more time.

(Gracie grunts)

- Don't worry, Gracie.

(suspenseful music)

I got this.

I'm it!

(Poot laughs)

- Poot, stop!

- You're it!

Nyah-nyah!

(Poot laughs)

(Gracie grunts)

- Now I just gotta get the snake to point at the swans.

- Whoa!

- Just a little

more.

(tense music)

(mutant groans)

(Gracie grunts)

(Poot panting)

(Poot laughs)

(mutant Felix roars)

(mutant Felix growls)

Oh!

- I've always loved that song.

(Dan roars)

Aagh!

- Felix.

- Hello...

Fred.

- Buddy!

Wow, man.

Ha, ha.

What a crazy night.

- A genuine feel-good ending.

And the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

- An ostrich

and a lemur?

- Why not?

- Hey, Gracie.

Since we're all a pack now, does that make me a wolf?

(Poot howls)

- No, it most certainly don't!

- Gramma Abigale!

- Stop crowdin' me, child!

- Gramma Abigale,

you were right about somethin' worse happenin'.

But you were wrong about other critters.

- You say that to me

after all I've gone through tonight!

But I get it.

For a spell,

I was snugged up close

and personal with an aardvark and zebra.

Now I see how other critters ain't so bad.

And I also got me a bunny rabbit tail.

I like it.

And I don't care who knows it!

(Gracie laughs)

- It suits you, Gramma.

Now let me introduce you to my new friends.

- And I thought to myself, "With great power..."

(gentle music) (birds chirping)

(reader beeps)

(gate screeching)

- [Gracie] You were just gonna leave without so much

as a so long?

- Aw,

busted.

I'm not so good with so longs.

- I thought you might consider staying.

- It is tempting, Gracie,

but I need to be in the wild.

- Yeah, I figured.

- Well, who knows?

Maybe one day you'll get tired of zoo life

and wanna see the real world.

- Nothing's impossible.

- You proved that tonight.

So long, kid.

(gentle music)

- I might be a hero.

That's what they're calling me.
