[lively music playing]

Arin, Aruzia, that was terrific.

You play those real good.

Thank you. We've been practicing for the royal banquet.

Yes, we composed that song to honor you, our special friends.

-Oh, thank you. -Grubby: Uh, Aruzia?

Would you mind if I played a song with you?

Not at all, Grubby. Do you play the recorder?

Or perhaps my lute would be more to your liking.

Well, I sort of had something different in mind.

-[laughing] -I whipped this together myself.

How unusual. What do you call it?

Hmm. I don't name them, I just play them. Ha ha.

[playing music]

Five instruments are better than two.

[playing music]

[Grubby laughs]

-[shouting] -[pig squealing]

[shouting]

[shouting]

The animals-- they're escaping!

Whoa, easy! Steady, big fella!

Yikes!

Whoa!

Grubby, help me!

Okay, I'm coming!

Come on, come on, now. It is I, Prince Arin.

Well, at least they didn't all get away.

No, but let's catch the ones that did before they overrun the kingdom.

Okay, Prince Arin, I can use the exercise.

-Can you ride a Clop-ed? -I think so.

Good! Come on!

-Now what do we do? -We don't fall off.

Good idea, Princess.

Royal guards, watch out!

Ahh!

Ahh!

[splashes]

[distant rumbling]

[gasps]

[screams]

Get along, there!

Excuse me, Father. Good day, Mother.

-Teddy, meet my parents. -Pleased to meet you!

I say, wasn't That Aruzia?

Yes, and that must be one of their friends.

I wish they'd play outside.

Ha ha! Reminds me of when I was young.

I can't believe all these, uh, years have passed, Eunice.

Yes, Newton, but we've both fulfilled our, uh, dreams.

I became a doctor,

and you're a brilliant, uh, inventor,

just as we've always dreamed.

Yes. Oh, I remember I felt the, uh--

the, uh, earth move when I first met you.

[rumbling]

Oh, and it seems to be happening again!

Teddy: Gimmick, Doctor, get out of the way!

Newton!

[both laughing]

Can we head them back to the stable, Aruzia?

We'll give it a try, Teddy. Follow me!

If we turn left at the next corridor,

we can lead them outside through the great hall.

Okay, Aruzia, I'll try.

Can I help you down, dear?

Just move over, darling, so I don't land on you.

On second thought, maybe you better stay up there.

Aruzia, dear, play with the animals outside.

Yes, Mother.

Whoa!

Oh, no, it's got me cornered.

Okay, come on. I can lick you any day.

[knees knocking]

Ha ha. I guess you licked me after all.

Now, where did that bird go?

[chuckling]

Oh, thank you, my friend.

You're welcome.

Hey, look, here they come.

They're leading the animals back.

Whew!

Oh! That was an exciting ride.

I'll say! And it was nice meeting your parents, too.

I'm glad everyone is all right.

Yeah, somebody could have been hurt.

And all because that jester guy scared all these animals.

Hmm. You may have a point there, Grubby.

I must speak to him about that.

First, Arin, I think we'd better find the rest of the strays.

That should be the last of them.

Teddy: They look very calm. I don't think we'll have much trouble.

Aruzia: Very well. Let's be on our way, shall we?

Follow me, everyone.

Grubby, I think you'd make an excellent farmhand.

The animals seem to like you very much.

If licking means liking, I guess you're right. Ha ha.

This sure has been an exciting day.

Yes it has, Grubby. It's also been fun.

Thank you for inviting us, Arin and Aruzia.

Teddy, it is our pleasure.

Listen!

Woman: No, no! Please don't!

Man: It's the only food we've got!

It's coming from over there. Look!

But how am I to feed my family? It's the only food we have.

Silence! We take what we wish.

Arin: Aren't those Gutang flying machines?

Teddy: They certainly are.

Grubby: And where you've got Gutang flying machines, you've got...

All: Gutangs!

Let's get them!

-Uh, Arin? -Yes, Grubby?

We don't have anything to fight them with.

No root stew, no nothing.

Grubby's right! What do we do when we get there?

Oh... I hadn't thought of that.

Listen! What is that rumbling sound?

Oh... whoa!

Whoa!

Gutangs, retreat!

Whoa!

Whoa! W-W-Whoa!

[laughing]

Teddy: Are you all right, sir?

Yes. Thanks to you and your...

Both: Your Highnesses!

There's no need for formality. Are you all right?

Aye. But those wretched Gutangs

would have robbed us blind had you not happened along.

Ah! We're in your debt.

Nonsense. The kingdom is in your debt.

Yes, farmers are the backbone of the kingdom,

especially in these difficult times.

We are happy that we could be of help.

[hooves clopping]

Aruzia: This recent drought has hit us hard.

Every day more and more farmers arrive at the castle asking for help.

Arin: And because of the shortage of food,

Gutang raids are on the rise.

Teddy: Do you mean that the Gutangs just come in

and steal everything?

Yes, our soldiers try to protect the kingdom,

but they can't be everywhere at once.

No matter what we do, the Gutangs always manage to attack

an undefended sector like that farm back there.

They always seem to know just where our soldiers are.

Teddy, it seems we might have a spy in our midst.

His Majesty and I are proud to have you as our honored guests.

We wanted to thank you personally for bravely rescuing our children.

Oh, it was nothing, Your Majesty-ship.

We were happy to be of service to the royal family.

But we would have done the same for any friend in trouble.

Then I hope that I, too, may consider myself a friend of Teddy Ruxpin.

By all means, Your Highness.

[trumpet sounds]

Lords and Ladies, and loyal subjects of Grundo,

tonight we honor brave friends who risked their own safety

to rescue our son from the Mudblups

and our daughter from the clutches of the evil Gutangs.

I give you Newton Gimmick...

Grubby the Octopede...

and the Illiop, Teddy Ruxpin.

Hard times cannot dispel the joy we feel

in the presence of three such true friends.

Now let the feast begin.

[crowd cheering]

Oh!

Gee, Teddy, can I ask for seconds

before I've had my firsts?

Remember what Arin said, Grubby,

They don't have much food this year.

Yeah, I guess he wasn't kidding.

Heavens to Grundo!

There's a baby Gloot under the, uh, table.

[laughs]

For a moment, I thought you were, uh, wearing fuzzy slippers.

Teddy: What's this, Grubby?

Lucky thing I brought some roots from the airship.

I'm gonna ask the cooks to make a yummy batch of root stew.

Root stew, you say?

That sounds like an... interesting dish.

Yes, Your Majesty, it's Grubby's favorite.

You might say it's the root of our friendship. Ha ha.

How did you two become friends, Teddy?

Well, it happened a long time ago

in our homeland of Rillonia.

I think we'd all enjoy hearing that story.

My friends, your attention, please.

Our heroic guest, Teddy Ruxpin,

will now tell us the amazing story of his first encounter

with the brave and noble Grubby.

[cheering]

Brave and noble? Gosh!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

It all started in Rillonia,

where my family lived in a little cottage.

We had a little vegetable garden.

My mother was showing me how to plant potatoes.

You just dig a hole this deep,

put a potato in it,

then cover it over with dirt.

Oh, that's easy, Mom. I can do that.

Well, I worked most of the afternoon,

and I finally got the first row planted.

[crickets chirping]

Mother, look.

During the night, something had dug up

all the potatoes I'd planted the day before.

It'll take me most of the day to plant new potatoes.

Later, my mother helped me fix up a special surprise

-for our potato thief. -[bells tinkling]

Teddy, can I tell my side of the story now?

Why, sure, Grubby.

Well, you see, your Majesty, I was seeing if I could find

any more of those wonderful little roots I had dug up the night before.

Octopedes are sometimes noct-- uh, noct--

-Nocturnal. -Yeah, that's it!

That's means that sometimes we sleep during the day and are awake at night.

Anyway, the very next night...

[humming]

Let's see. I think it was right around here

where I found those roots last night.

Oh, boy! I think I found one.

Yup! [laughs]

A nice little round root.

And I'll bet there's another one right over there.

Gee, nice of these roots to grow in a straight line like this.

Boy, am I glad I brought along a big bag tonight.

These are the fastest growing roots I ever saw.

I can hardly carry them all.

Whoa!

-[bells tinkling] -Hey, what's going on? Hey!

Mother, I think we caught the potato thief!

[Grubby grunting]

Mother, look!

Teddy, be careful.

We don't know what that thing is.

Maybe it's a big potato bug.

Potato bug? I'm no potato bug.

-Oh! -Yikes!

-Then what are you? -I'm just me.

I'm an Octopede.

Teddy, I think we should get him out of that net.

All right.

What's your name?

Oh, I'm Grubby.

I didn't know I was taking something that belonged to someone.

If you really want these things buried,

I'll help you put them back in the ground.

It's starting to get light.

Oh, Grubby, would you like to have breakfast with us?

Who, me? Uh, breakfast?

Um, uh, sure. What are you having?

Well, how about potato pancakes?

[all laughing]

Grubby: Dig a hole, drop one in, cover it up.

Dig a hole, drop one in, cover it up.

Hey, this is almost as much fun as digging them up.

I really appreciate your helping me, Grubby.

Oh, I'm glad to help, Teddy.

After all, I dug them up!

[both laugh]

Hey, are you sure these potatoes are gonna grow?

Oh, sure, before long, there will be potatoes all over the place.

Oh, good! And are you gonna bury other kinds of food, too?

[laughs] Yes.

We'll plant lots of different kinds of vegetables.

Corn and cabbage and tomatoes.

And most of them will start out as little seeds.

Wow! Will I be able to help?

Of course, Grubby.

♪ Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig ♪

♪ Just dig a hole and plant a seed, and cover it with soil ♪

♪ It's fun to see what happens from just a little toil ♪

♪ The seeds sprout up together from each and every row ♪

♪ When vegetables are growing, it's fun to watch them grow ♪

Both: ♪ And they pop right up out of the ground ♪

♪ To find the morning sun ♪

♪ Yes, growing different vegetables is fun for everyone ♪

♪ Let's hear some more ♪

-♪ A stuffed tomato ♪ -♪ Baked potato ♪

♪ String bean or bean sprout ♪

♪ A lettuce or a cabbage for making sauerkraut ♪

♪ An onion ring, a spinach green ♪

♪ Or rutabaga stew ♪

♪ A radish or a Brussels sprout ♪

♪ An artichoke fondue ♪

♪ And they pop right up out of the ground ♪

♪ To find the morning sun ♪

♪ Yes, growing different vegetables ♪

♪ Is fun for everyone ♪

-Hooray! -Yay!

[cheering continues]

[evil laughter]

Make sure our troops are ready.

I expect a signal at any moment.

Yes, Commander!

There it is, the signal we've been waiting for.

It's time for the surprise attack.

Gutangs, to your flying machines!

And so, You Majesty, that was how Grubby and I met.

And our friendship has been growing ever since.

Yeah, just like those potatoes.

Ha ha!

No matter how bad things get,

I always feel better when Grubby's there.

There's nothing in the whole world like a good friend.

[humming]

[sniffs] Good heavens, what's this?

It's my root stew, Your Majesty.

Would you care to try some?

Uh, no thank you, Grubby, but you go right ahead.

Do you actually like it?

Why, sure! It's absolutely yummy.

I thought we were making glue.

[horn plays]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the court,

I propose a toast to Newton Gimmick,

-[snickering] -Grubby, and Teddy Ruxpin.

The royal goblet, please.

The thanks of a grateful kingdom.

Crowd: Hear! Hear!

-[coughing] -Oh!

Father, Father!

Father, what's wrong?

-Oh! -Oh, this is such a dreadful thing!

[airplanes approaching]

Gutangs!

We're under attack!
