[birds chirping]

Teddy: Come on, Grubby!

Grubby: Teddy, my feet are getting sore.

I must have stepped on every rock between Rillonia and here.

You didn't tell me adventure seeking

would be this hard on my feet.

Teddy: Yes, Grubby.

You do have a lot of feet to worry about.

Grubby: So this is the land of Grundo.

It sure is strange-looking.

Teddy: It certainly is a lot different from Rillonia.

I'll say, Teddy.

And now that we've seen it,

Maybe we ought to go back to where we came from.

But, Grubby, we can't go back now.

We've waited years to look for the Treasure of Grundo.

Gee, I guess that does sound like fun,

if you like that sort of thing, which I don't.

You just have to have the right attitude, Grubby.

[creatures laughing]

Uh-oh.

Dangerous creatures. Let's get out of here.

[chuckles] They don't look very dangerous to me.

In fact, they look kind of friendly.

-We are! -We sure are.

We're Fobs.

-We're as friendly as anything. -That's us.

-Friendly... -Friendly...

-Friendly. -[laughter continues]

See, Grubby?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Well, I can't help it if things make me nervous.

But just think, Grubby,

you might be the first Octopede

to ever have a real adventure.

Hmm.

Well, okay.

But at least let's stop and rest.

My feet hurt.

-My feet hurt, too. -But I've got eight of 'em.

That means my feet hurt, uh,

four times worse than yours do.

All in favor of stopping, raise your hands.

[laughs] The majority rules.

You win, Grubby.

We'll stop and rest.

I'm glad we stopped.

It gives me a chance to cook up some roasted roots.

What do you think of 'em?

Well, um,

they're, uh, interesting.

[laughs] I knew you'd like 'em.

[growling]

You missed.

Fine bunch of Bounders you turned out to be.

You can't even catch a couple of unwelcome intruders.

We tried, L.B.

Well, you didn't try hard enough.

-Now, get those two. -Yeah, right, L.B.

[growls]

-Let's get out of here, Grubby. -Grubby: Hey, that's funny.

Suddenly my feet aren't tired anymore.

Both: Whoa!

These branches will make excellent firewood.

Here's a good one.

-Grubby: Help! -[growling continues]

I wonder what's making that dreadful racket.

[growling continues]

Look out! These things are after us!

Take that. And this.

And here's one for you.

Poor little Bounders.

Thank you, sir. You saved our lives.

That sure was brave of you.

[laughs] Think nothing of it.

I'd do the same for any guests of mine.

Guests?

Why, certainly.

Anyone coming through Gimmick's Valley

must be coming to see me.

My name is, uh, Newton Gimmick,

but everybody just calls me Gimmick.

[laughs] I'm an inventor.

Hello. I'm Teddy Ruxpin.

Say, aren't you an Illiop?

Yes, I am.

I don't believe I've ever seen an Illiop before.

This is my friend Grubby.

He's an Octopede.

Well, I know I've never seen an Octopede before.

It's a pleasure to shake your hand.

That happens to be my foot,

but it's nice to meet you, too.

Why don't we all go over to my place for a bite of lunch?

Okay.

Grubby and I came all the way from Rillonia

-on a great adventure. -Gimmick: A great adventure?

Well, tell me all about it.

Well, it all started when I found this map.

All I asked you to do was drive Gimmick out of the valley!

-[mumbling] -Oh, can't you do anything?

Will you speak up?

I can't understand a word you're saying!

Oh, so you've got a stick in your mouth, too, huh?

[grunts]

What do you mean can't I do anything, Twees?

How long have you been trying to get rid of Gimmick?

Never mind that.

And the name is Tweeg.

T-W-E-E-G. Tweeg!

So I guess you're not interested in my news?

What news?

Gimmick's got a couple of visitors,

and one of 'em is an Illiop.

Visitors. An Illiop.

It can only mean one thing.

They're after my secret formula

for making gold out of buttermilk!

I knew it. I knew it!

They're forming an army to attack me

and steal my gold formula!

L.B., get down there and find out what's going on.

L.B.: "L.B., do this. L.B., do that."

How come I gotta do all of his dirty work?

Now I'll teach Gimmick a lesson.

-[cannon blasts] -What was that?

Oh, nothing.

It's just Tweeg firing his cannon at us.

-At us? -Oh, don't worry.

Tweeg is without a doubt the world's worst shot.

If he's firing at us,

this is probably the safest place in the valley to be.

You see? [laughs] We're perfectly safe.

If you say so, Gimmick.

Maybe you'd like to take a look at this treasure map.

Gimmick: Oh, by all means.

The treasure seems to be somewhere here

in the Hard to Find City.

[laughs]

There's something else, Gimmick.

This strange medallion was with the map.

Looks more like half a medallion to me.

Hmm.

How decidedly odd.

I wonder what these words mean.

Spirit, treasure, ledge.

I don't know.

But I have a feeling the answer lies

at the top of the Treacherous Mountains.

Come with me.

[laughs] I think my new invention

might be very useful.

Ah, yes. Here it is.

I call it an airship.

Kinda looks like a boat to me.

Not only is Gimmick forming an army.

Now he's got a navy, too.

-I see Tweeg is still at it. -[laughter]

Drat! I missed again!

Ah, yes.

Now, with this airship,

we can float right up to the top

-of the Treacherous Mountains. -That's wonderful, Gimmick.

And you'll be welcome to share in the treasure.

If we're lucky enough to find it, that is.

Very well. Start putting some wood into the stove

while I go and get some supplies.

Let's see.

We'll need the vertical disseminator,

the solar distributor,

the twitch reducer,

the calibrating stub,

the astronomical simplifier,

the hyperbolic modifying unit,

and-- and some Grundleberry muffins.

Oh, boy.

[groans] With one well-aimed shot,

I'll take care of Gimmick's army and navy.

Ow, oof. Oh.

That nincompoop L.B.

never mixes the gunpowder right.

I've got to do everything myself.

Gimmick and his friends will never know what hit them.

[groaning]

[birds chirping]

L.B., I might have known

you'd be at the bottom of this.

[groans]

What? Again?

Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth?

I'm a villain, not a dentist.

Well, you're gonna be a rich villain.

Look at what this is.

A treasure map.

You found a treasure map. Ha ha!

The Treasure of Grundo will be mine at last!

You're welcome, Twink.

Tweeg: Now remember, all you have to do

is slip this phony map to Gimmick

to throw him off the trail

while you and I locate the treasure with the real map.

Now get bounding!

Grubby: Hey, Teddy. It's working.

Gimmick: Ah, yes, just as I expected.

Make sure all the tether lines are tight.

Everyone get aboard.

I can't find the treasure map.

Hmm. Well, maybe I left the map in the house.

I'll go see. Just keep filling the air bag.

This'll be like giving candy to a baby.

Ah, here it is.

[laughs] I guess I must've dropped it.

[laughs]

That fog-brain crackpot fell for it!

All right, crew, let's cast off the line.

Aye aye, Gimmick. The forward line is cast off.

Same goes for the aft line, Gimmick.

Just love all this boat talk.

Teddy: Your invention works, Gimmick.

We're actually flying.

[laughs] Of course.

It's the law of thermo-gravitational ascension.

You see, when the air is heated, it rises,

causing a vertical lifting force,

consequently pulling the airship into the sky.

Sounds like this isn't the only thing that works on hot air.

How do you steer this thing, Gimmick?

Hmm, I never thought about that.

Well, you better start thinking fast, Gimmick,

'cause we're heading for that big tree over there.

-All: Whoa! -[squawks]

Gimmick: Ooh. Is everyone all right?

I think so. Are you okay, Grubby?

I don't know. I can't see anything.

That's probably because your feet are covering your eyes.

Oh.

Just what do you think you're doing in my tree?

Huh? Who said that?

I said that, and I'll say it again.

Just what do you think you're doing in my tree?

Hey, would you look at that.

[laughs] What is it?

I'm a Woodsprite.

Oh, no. There is no such thing as a Woodsprite.

Oh, no?

And I suppose there's no such thing

as a big bag of air stuck in my tree,

but there it is, big as life.

Gimmick, if she says she's a Woodsprite,

then I guess she is a Woodsprite.

And a very pretty one at that.

Well, how about moving this big--

Oh. [laughs]

Do you really think I'm pretty?

Oh, yes, I certainly do.

Oh... [giggles] Aren't you sweet?

And who are you?

Well, I'm Teddy Ruxpin,

and this is Grubby,

and this is Newton Gimmick.

-My name is Leota. -I'm pleased to meet you,

and I'm sorry if we've damaged your tree.

Oh, that's all right.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Well, I'm not sure.

You do understand the simple basics

of aerodynamics, don't you?

Now, see here, you little sprout.

Er, uh, sprite.

There's nothing you can teach me about flying.

Oh, no?

Watch this.

Now can I teach you to fly?

[laughs] By all means, Professor.

[both laugh]

Now, in order for your airship

to move in any given direction,

you must apply a force in the opposite direction,

such as this large, manually-driven propeller.

[laughs] Whatever you say, Leota.

Teddy, you'll get more vertical lift

-if you shorten these straps. -Sure thing, Leota.

Grubby, you start hammering this new mast into place.

Aye aye, Leota.

Ow!

Now try to remember everything I taught you about flying.

Gimmick: We won't forget, I assure you.

Teddy: Why don't you come with us, Leota?

I'm sure there's enough treasure for all of us.

Grubby: Yeah, I'll even help carry your share of it.

Your aeronautic knowhow would certainly come in handy

up there in the Treacherous Mountains.

Thanks, but I have all the treasures I need right here.

Besides, a scientist like you

wouldn't want to be seen with a creature that doesn't exist, would you?

Well, uh, that is...

[laughter]

[Tweeg laughs]

That fool Gimmick and his friends

have been thrown well off-course by now,

leaving the Treasure of Grundo for me!

And you.

Yeah... [grunts] but mostly for you.

Stop complaining, you ungrateful lout.

I told you we'd be equal partners.

So how come I'm doing all the pulling

and you're doing all the sitting?

Because I've got to rest my brains.

I'm the thinking partner.

Grubby: Are we at the Hard to Find City yet?

Gimmick: Heavens no.

We've barely made it to Boggley Woods,

let alone Woodley Bog.

What's that strange-looking crack in the earth, Gimmick?

Oh! Oh, that's Trembly Fault.

Trembly Fault?!

We should be over the Moss Forest!

Oh! We've been heading in the wrong direction!

No wonder! It's a counterfeit!

-Grubby: You mean it's a phony? -Precisely.

Every landmark on it is in the wrong place.

Oh, I'll bet that scoundrel Tweeg

had something to do with this.

[Fobs laugh]

[Fobs laugh]

Yikes!

A flock of Fobs!

Both: Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

L.B., you imbecile!

What made you run away from those Fobs?

Because they're always so helpful

and friendly and loyal.

-I hate that in an animal. -[groans]

Teddy: What's that down below, Gimmick?

Gimmick: It looks like the Great Desert.

Grubby: Great Dessert? Oh, boy. Let's stop and get some.

Not dessert, Grubby. A desert.

It's a great, big, empty place.

Sounds like the inside of my stomach.

Teddy: You think we'll make it safely across, Gimmick?

There's nothing to worry about.

We'll be fine as long as our firewood holds out.

Then this had better be a slow-burning log.

It's our last one.

[Grubby gulps]

Oh... me.

Oh... my.

We're losing altitude!

Fast!

Teddy, there's a little secret I have to let you in on.

-What's that, Grubby? -I hate adventure!

Gimmick: Hang on, everybody!

We're about to crash!
