What a glorious holiday a snowy snowy Come

on we'll head back to the hotel.

I'm hungry as a bear

Hello, Captain.

Did you have a nice day?

Marvelous, thanks.

You know, Captain, you need some fresh air. How about going on a hike with me

tomorrow? No, thanks. That's not my idea of a vacation.

And in the news tonight, a passenger flight en route to Kathmandu has crashed

the Himalayan mountains.

A search plane spotted the wreckage of the aircraft yesterday in a remote and

dangerous area of the Gossendan Massive.

The DC -3 was reported missing Monday. Nobody's going to survive that.

Poor souls.

Well, I'm going up for a quick shower. Why don't you set up the chessboard?

Sure, if you're prepared to lose this time.

Hmm.

She's in danger.

What should I do?

Protect her with my knight?

Nope, that'd leave my bishop vulnerable.

I can barely keep my eyes open.

Check. Check.

Hmm.

Now, how do I save my queen?

She's going to have to fight a rearguard action. I'll launch a flank attack with

my bishop. The enemy will cover his castle with a pawn, and I'll have to

sacrifice the bishop.

But he won't be sacrificed in vain.

An eye for an eye.

I'll take his cattle.

Sorry.

Sorry, everybody.

Sorry, Captain.

I just had the most awful dream.

It was about my friend Chang. He'd been in a plane crash and was calling out to

me for help.

You were dreaming about that crash on the news.

Maybe.

You're just overtired. Go to bed.

You'll feel better in the morning.

Okay. Night, Captain.

Morning, Landlubber.

What's wrong?

I didn't sleep very well.

More nightmares?

Yes. Well, maybe this letter will cheer you up.

It arrived for you this morning.

I wonder who it's from.

Chang! Now what?

It's Chang.

He's coming here.

He's going to visit his uncle in Kathmandu, and he said he'd phone us

there.

Kathmandu?

Wasn't that the flight path of that plane?

There were six crew members on board and a delegation of scientists.

Traveling with the scientists and also missing is a young Chinese boy.

Chang. My poor friend Chang.

No. I don't believe it.

Now I know why I was having those dreams.

Chang's alive.

He's calling for help.

Tin Tin.

No.

I know what you're going to say, but those dreams are no coincidence,

Wait. Where are you going?

Katmandu. Katmandu?

Tin Tin, this is crazy.

You can't go halfway around the world because of a dream.

I'm going, Captain, and that's that.

Fine. You go then.

But don't bother asking me because the answer is no.

We hope you enjoy your day in Kathmandu.

Thank you.

Okay. Chang's uncle has a shop around here somewhere.

You don't even know where you're going?

I know it's here somewhere. I'm just not sure where.

This is ridiculous.

You're walking around like a sleepwalker with his eyes shut.

Look out.

Watch where you're going, you...

Dumpling blob!

Met your match, eh, Captain?

Is good to eat?

Like candy?

Thank you.

Mr. Chang Lee Kin?

Yes?

My name is Tin Tin. I'm a friend of Chang's.

Please come in.

Chang will be here shortly.

Chang's here?

My son, Chang Lin Yee.

I'm afraid there's been a mix -up, sir.

I'm looking for Chang Chan Chen.

My nephew.

He died in a plane crash two days ago.

Sir, I think he's still alive.

Impossible, young man.

I got a letter from police.

Well, I don't believe it, and that's why I'm here.

I need to find a Sherpa who will guide me to the crash site.

There is only one who can do it, but I know what he will say.

No!

It's too dangerous, Sahib.

I take you both up there, and three more lives will be lost.

Ours.

Listen to reason 1010.

You're right.

I can't risk anyone else's life.

At last you're talking sense.

I'll go alone.

Okay, Snowy, let's go.

Ahoy, landlubbers!

Don't say anything. I'm going whether you like it or not.

He is good friend.

That he is.

Hmm.

Need a rest.

Huh?

Calculus? What are you doing here?

It seems I've lost my umbrella.

Why, I've got plenty.

Don't be silly. It's a hot pepper.

Huh?

Checkmate.

Sahib,

okay? He wants me to carry his pack?

No, I don't want you to carry my pack. I'll carry my own pack, thanks. I just

have to get used to the altitude.

I don't need anybody else to carry my pack. I'll tell you that right now.

Nothing to it. Captain, wrong bridge.

We're supposed to cross at the next one.

Oh, I knew that.

Why, I could cross this bridge blindfolded. Whoops.

No, maybe not.

Oh, Snowy, it's bad.

Be quiet.

Try it.

Where's Snowy?

Snowy?

Snowy? What's wrong?

No, Snowy, look out!

Come on, Snowy, let's go.

We must be careful, Sahib.

There are many dangers ahead.

I know there are, Tarky, but we can't give up now.

What is this, Tarky?

It is shortan.

It holds the ashes of great lamas.

Pretty neat, huh, Captain?

Do as they say, or the spirits will be angry.

Left, right, what's the difference?

What?

It's Sampa, cooked barley meal with tea and butter.

What

was that?

It was Yeti. The abominable snowman?

Nonsense. It was just the wind.

No, Sahib.

That was no wind.

Yeti is very bad.

He eats the eyes and hands of men.

We go back now? Yes.

No. Whatever it was, we're not going back.

I've got a friend up there who needs me.

What is it, boy?

Now you believe?

We go back.

Yeti will eat us.

I'm tired of hearing about this yeti. I keep telling you there's no such thing.

Then how do you explain these prints?

Easy. It's a... It's a bear walking on its hind legs.

No bear, Sahib.

Yeti. Boulder Dash.

And I'll prove it once and for all.

Come on down, you flea -bitten crow magnon. Quiet, Sahib.

You'll cause an avalanche. I'm with you.

Stirring barnacles.

Oh, no.

The porters have gone.

We must go back.

It's too dangerous to go on alone.

No. We'll each take another pack. I can't give up on Chang.

I wonder if Chang bought this for his cousin.

Why did you have to say that?

The mountains are cruel, Saip. They keep those they take.

We can set up camp in there. Tomorrow we go back.

Saip?

Saip? Let him go.

He needs some time alone.

If Chang survived, he would have looked for shelter.

A crack in the rocks. A cave.

Bingo!

It's okay, Noe. It's just the wind.

It's snowing.

Any sign of him?

No, Sahib.

And there's nothing we can do until the snow stops.

Except pray that he found shelter.

Stay close, Snowy.

This is hopeless.

We shouldn't have left the cave.

Let's go back.

Oh, no.

Our tracks are covered up already.

What is it, Joey?

Captain!

Captain?

Hey! Captain!

He can't hear us.

won't he? It's hard to survive a storm in these mountains without shelter. This

storm has lasted for hours.

Listen.

That's snowy.

We must be careful, Saeed.

Good boy, Snowy.

Where's Tintin?

Falling into crevice.

Tintin!

Drop me, Saeed!

I'm busy.

Huh?

What are you doing?

Tin, tin.

The rope.

Sorry

about that,

Darkie. Poor Snowy. You're frozen.

How did you get out of there, Saib?

Well, I thought I was a goner.

It was a sheer drop straight down. The soft snow must have broken my fall. I

don't remember landing.

When I came to, I thought I was trapped.

But the bottom of the crevice sloped up, and I followed it along until I found a

place to climb out.

You were lucky. It is not wise to wander in a storm.

But I was following you, Captain.

And I thought... You couldn't have been.

I never left the plane.

It wasn't me, Sahib.

The Yeti. We must leave immediately.

He knows where we are.

But what about Chang?

He's gone, Sahib.

No. I found a small cave back there. Chang's name was carved on a rock.

I'm more convinced than ever.

Chang's alive.

Tomorrow we search for Chang.

But now we go back to the plane.

I don't know where you are, Chang.

But I'll find you.

I promise.

We must leave Saib, or we will freeze to death.

Bad weather is coming.

He's right, Tintin, old lad.

You've done everything humanly possible.

Tarky! Captain, wait!

There's something yellow up on that rock face.

It's a scarf. It must belong to Chang.

There, just below that ledge.

See for yourself.

No, Saib. Only an experienced climber with proper boots and equipment could

climb that.

What scarf?

That scarf.

I don't see any scarf.

Maybe the wind blew it there.

Or maybe it was the Yeti. Well, Yeti or no Yeti, I'm checking out that scarf.

Well, I'm not going with you.

Fine.

The captain and I will find Chang.

Chinese silk.

It has to be Chang's. He must have come this way.

Let's go.

Okay, Captain.

Stay to the side and you'll find a foothold.

Turkey was right.

Chang could never have climbed this.

And swing over.

Easy, Captain.

Blue blistering barnacles.

It's useless.

Can you pull me up?

Not a chance.

This flight is moving. We're done for.

Try climbing.

I can't get a grip.

My hands are numb.

Can you drop? your backpack?

Not without untying this rope!

That's it, then.

I've got no choice.

Captain, what are you doing?

Casting off moorings, old friend.

Captain, no!

Don't do it! Better than both of us going down.

Ah, clumsy fool!

Starkey, we owe you one. No, Sahib.

It is I who owe you.

Your devotion to Chang has taught me about friendship.

I should never have left you.

A storm is coming.

We must find shelter or we will freeze.

Just behind these rocks.

Hurry. The tent is our only hope.

I will get stones to weigh down the corners.

Confounded wind.

We must keep moving. He knows where we are.

I must rest.

Sleep.

Captain, no!

Captain, wake up.

There's a monastery down there.

Five more minutes.

We'll have to carry him.

The white goddess is angry.

Hmm, white goddess.

It's only an avalanche. Look!

Blessed Lightning has a vision.

I see two men and a boy.

They fall.

They fall from the heavens.

This boy, he has a great heart.

With him is little dog, white as powder snow.

Great Heart is swallowed by Cloud of White.

He is at the end of his strength.

Snowy?

Get help, Snowy.

Take this to the monastery.

To the monastery, Snowy.

No, Snowy. You must deliver the message.

The message I'll keep.

You don't see a bone like this every day.

must be a mad dog.

Stop him!

Look out!

Mad dog! Mad dog!

He's cornered. Careful!

Don't miss him!

No!

Can you not see?

This is Powder Snow from Blessed Lightning's vision.

There are men...

mountains.

coming.

Yeah!

This must be the monastery.

How did I get here?

Tintin?

I, the Grand Abbot of Corbeillon, welcome you.

But was there not another in your party? He's still sleeping, sir.

Well, I'm up and at him now.

Captain! Tintin!

Ow!

Turkey!

Good to see ya!

Who's the guy with the fancy lid?

Uh, Captain Haddock? Meet the Grand Abbot. His monks pulled us from the

avalanche. Please.

Sit down, rumbling thunder.

Thanks, uh, uh, Grand Admiral.

Tell me, why do you risk your lives in our mountains?

We're searching for a friend of mine who was lost in a plane crash.

Ah, the falling steel bird.

But that was many nights past.

Your friend cannot still be alive.

It's like this, Grand Abbey.

Tin Tin had this bizarre dream that Chang is still alive, so he drags us

these mountains to look for him. I know it sounds crazy, but in my heart, I'm

sure of it.

The love you show is noble but foolish.

The mountains of Tibet keep those they take.

The Grand Mufti knows what he's talking about, Tin Tin. You've got to face

facts. Listen to rumbling thunder.

Even he sees the truth.

And now you must leave.

We cannot permit strangers amongst our order.

End your quest and return to your land, Great Heart.

Farewell, Powder Snow.

Let's go, Snowy.

Great Heart, please wait. You forgot me.

Excuse me.

I see.

I see horn of yak.

Blister and barnacles. Where's a camera? Nobody's going to believe this. A cave

in the mountain.

A young boy is there.

Chang! How do you set this thing?

He lays on bed of juniper branches.

But who is this approaching him?

Cannot see.

Wait. Okay.

Chang, where is this boy?

Where is who? The boy you saw on the juniper branches.

I do not understand what you mean.

Go in peace, sweetheart.

Chang. Please, Sahib, not again. I can take you no further.

I know, Tarky. You must go back. But my journey isn't finished.

I wish you well, Sahib.

The Horn of the Yak is a large mountain two days to the north.

Blessed lightning saw Chang there, laying in a cave.

You're not really buying this hocus -pocus business, are you? He also said

something about a... Migu?

The Migu.

Then your friend is better off dead.

Migu is our word for yeti. The Migu is a devil on earth.

Stay far from the Horn of the Yak.

great heart.

I understand, Grand Abbot. Thank you for your wisdom.

If we hurry, we can catch turkey.

You go, Captain. I'm headed north.

Blue blistering barnacles!

Don't you know when to give up?

I guess not.

Look, if the cold doesn't kill you, the avalanches will.

And... If you survive those, chances are you'll run into this abominable

snowblower everybody's talking about. I'm not leaving until I find out what

happened to Chang.

Fine. But if you insist on getting yourself killed, don't expect me to join

I don't.

Thank you, Captain, for all you've done.

And for being such a good friend.

If you come to your senses, meet me in Nepal.

I'll wait there for a couple of days.

Goodbye, Captain.

The horn of the yak.

Ahoy, landlubber!

Thought you'd finally got rid of me, did ya? Captain, you changed your mind.

The home of the yeti.

Wait, wait, wait.

Tintin, I'm getting fed up.

We've been here for three hours waiting for this confounded megu of yours to

poke his nose out.

Patience, Captain.

Just a little longer.

The Yeti!

Thundering typhoons.

There it is. It's going.

It's disappeared.

Now's my chance to see if Chang's in there.

Okay, here.

Take the camera.

Okay. Warn me if he comes back. Okay. Try to get a shot of him. If you hear me

whistle. Clear out!

Ching!

Come on, Tintin. Hurry up and get out of there.

Ching!

Come. You're burning up with fever.

I'll be okay. Just get me out of here.

Why doesn't he hurry?

Keep blistering.

Hang on, Chang. Not much further.

Tangent!

Bomb? It was an atomic bomb, wasn't it? Are we all dead?

No, Captain.

Come on. Help me before the Yeti comes back.

How did you manage to survive that crash, Chang?

When the plane went down, I was the only survivor.

I tried to find help, but I guess I fainted.

When I came to, I could not believe my eyes.

It was the Yeti!

I realized he meant me no harm.

He gave me some biscuits that he found in the wreck.

When I regained some strength, I carved my name on a stone in case someone came.

One day, the Yeti rushed in, picked me up, and quickly climbed out of the cave.

We were high above the valley when I saw the search party. I waved and shouted,

but nobody noticed.

So I threw my scarf towards them. And that's all I remember.

Until I heard your voice.

But what did you do for food? It's been two weeks.

The Yeti brought me roots and berries to eat.

Probably fattening you up for his own main course.

No, Captain.

I don't think so.

Anyway, I'm beat.

How about a bit of a rest?

Where's my handkerchief?

Grand Abbot! Blessed lightning foretold of your return.

I come to bow in homage before you, great heart.

Me? But I... Your devotion to your friend is to be honored.

May I present you with this scarf of silk.

Allow us to take you to our monastery.

Homeward bound at last.

I can hardly wait.

A farewell from the Yeti. He's alone now.

Until someone catches him. I hope that never happens. They treat him like a

animal. I can't help but think that deep down he has a human soul.

Who knows, Chang?

Who knows?
