Now, a little snack for your journey.

You'll be hungry soon enough out there in the cold.

Here, take this ski wax.

It's my own special formula.

Thank you very much, Mr. Zed.

What? Speak up.

If you can't say it loud,

why say it at all?

Uh, I said, "Thank you"!

[groans] Well, uh, that's much better.

Oh, you're welcome, Mr. Hermit.

Thanks for all your help,

and please come visit us soon in Gimmick's Valley.

Maybe we will and maybe we won't.

We will, Teddy. Take care.

-Bye. -Goodbye.

Zed: I'm gonna miss those two.

They were kinda friendly

for big folks.

This is wonderful, Mr. Hermit.

We'll be home in no time at all.

[gasps] Whoa!

Ugh.

[gasps]

[laughs]

There it is.

Gimmick's Valley.

Lead on, friend.

We'll have to hurry to get there before dark.

I'm glad you're finally going to meet my friends.

Follow me.

Ah, I don't like it, Gimmick.

I don't like it one little bit.

Now, now, Grubby, we've gone over this before.

There's nothing we can do.

Yeah, but it's getting dark,

and Teddy's still out there somewhere.

And he doesn't know that MAVO's guarding this place,

just waiting for him to come back.

Gimmick: Oh, if only I could think of some way

to warn him about this trap.

There it is. Gimmick's house.

Let's go.

Easy, lad.

Let's not rush into anything.

Why? What's the matter?

Everything seems okay.

Now, that's just when things go wrong.

I say we approach cautiously.

Call it a hunch.

Well, all right.

Maybe caution is best.

Always. Follow me.

And quietly, mind.

[gasps]

Hey, what are you doing?

Shh. Look, Lad.

There. And there.

You see? It's a trap.

Gimmick, Grubby!

No, wait.

We have to save them.

All we can do right now is watch and wait.

[bird hoots]

-Hi, Teddy. -Huh?

Whatcha doin'? Playing hide and seek?

Fuzz, what are you doing here?

I'm coming back from Rainbow Falls.

We were sliding on the ice.

You should have been there.

I've got an idea.

[whispering]

But why me?

Because they won't suspect you.

Just act naturally.

And remember the message.

Everything depends on it.

Don't worry. I remember.

Tell Gimmick and Grubby to meet you at-- Oh. Where is it again?

Not "Where is it?" What's-It.

At The Wooly What's-It's house.

Yeah, that's it. Wooly's house.

Tonight.

Uh, I mean, Gimmick.

Uh, both of 'em. Yeah.

Uh, and I don't have any secret messages.

I don't even know who Teddy Ruxpin is.

Ah, and a good thing, too.

Go on in.

Whoa.

Where was I?

Oh, yeah.

Grubby, do we need all this?

What if we get hungry on the way to Wooly's place?

Ain't this exciting?

Outsmarting them M.A.V.O. guards and escaping and everything?

Yes. Now let's get out of here.

Finally. [laughs]

They're making their break.

I'll bet I get a big promotion for this.

Maybe next time I'll get to guard the front door.

That's it. They're making a run for it.

Signal the "Eclipse."

-[explosion] -Oh, I say, what is that astonishing noise?

The tower!

Oh, sound the alarm!

Move it, you bilge rats.

Grubby, Gimmick, it's so good to see you.

Yes, indeed. It's good to see you too.

Well, you're safe now.

Nobody's gonna find ya here.

And you must be the hermit that Teddy

has told us so much about.

I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.

Yeah, any friend of Teddy's is a friend of ours.

Uh, thank you.

Gee, Teddy, what's going on?

All those M.A.V.O. guys are looking for ya.

Yes, Teddy, they seem awfully interested in you.

Something tells me it's not me they're interested in.

Oh, I know. They want the crystals, of course.

Right, Gimmick,

and the crystals are the one thing

M.A.V.O. must never get their evil hands on.

Wooly: Oh, don't worry, Teddy.

You're secret's safe with us.

Just wait till I tell old Maggotheart.

She'll really promote me now.

I'll get to guard the front and the back door.

[laughs]

Yoo-hoo! Hi there.

Hold it down, lady.

I'm terribly sorry to wake you from your guard duty,

but I'd like to point out a small detail.

I'm the captain of this ship,

and you're a member of my crew!

Ten-hut!

-Uh-oh. -[clears throat]

Which way did they go?

-Uh, uh, uh-- -Fined for not knowing where they went!

How come you were asleep?

Uh, uh...

Aah! Fined for sleeping on the job.

Oh, how could anyone be so stupid?

Uh...

Fined for being so stupid.

Fined, fined, fined!

Now find them!

Mrs. Maggotheart! Mrs. Maggotheart!

I found them. [laughs]

I know where the Illiop is!

Oh! Oh, that's marvelous.

Oh, Oh, thank badness someone around here takes her job seriously.

Oh, Oh, please, point the way, my dear.

I wish I could tell you more,

but I-- I can't.

You mean you can't even remember where you came from?

Sometimes... inside my head...

I see a small house in a forest.

The door opens up, and just when I think I see someone coming out,

well, it all just goes away.

Perhaps this will tell us something about your past.

The crystal stethoscope.

That's a great idea, Gimmick.

I don't, uh, understand it.

What is it, Gimmick?

The crystal, it's... it's blank.

Hmm. I have seen this phenomenon once before.

When I examined Tweeg in Ying.

His memory had been erased by the black box.

The black box? That would explain a lot.

Precisely. Our friend here may well have been one of the victims

sold by Quellor to the Ying Zoo.

The Ying Zoo.

Hey, what's this?

It says "Teddy" on the floor of my cell.

Ilana? Why, that's my mother's name.

-Wooly: Teddy? -Huh? Oh, sorry.

I was just remembering something.

Hermit: The fire's almost out.

I'll go out and get some more firewood.

Wooly: Ah, thanks, Mr. Hermit.

What exactly were you remembering, Teddy?

When I was held prisoner in the Ying Zoo,

in the Illiop's cage, I found two names carved in the floor.

My mother's and mine.

How do you think they got there?

Well, that's what I wonder too, Grubby.

I'm sure the Hermit has something to do with it.

Uh, well, why's that, Teddy?

Well, first we heard that an Illiop escaped from the zoo years ago.

Next, I found those names.

And now we find out that the Hermit's memory was erased.

And no one knows how long he's been living on his island.

I wonder...

Oh! All snug and warm in their cozy house.

Oh, isn't that the most darling thing you've ever seen?

Take your positions!

There's no escape for them now.

No escape at all!

[laughs]

Ah, what have we here?

Oh, an Illiop!

Oh, it must be that Teddy Ruxpin.

Well, this ought to be enough.

Okay, boys, do your stuff!

[howling]

Oh!

[jabbering]

It's sure taking the Hermit a long time to get that wood.

Maybe he needs some help.

No! They've captured the Hermit.

Gimmick: But what could they want with him?

They didn't want the Hermit. They wanted me.

[animal howls]

I grow impatient.

Where are they?

Good question.

They couldn't be taking longer if Tweegy himself were in charge.

How is that boy of yours?

Lost in the woods. As usual.

Maggotheart: Yoo-hoo-hooey!

Oh, oh, we've been having the nicest time looting, pillaging.

Oh, such fun.

Where is Ruxpin?

And the crystals.

Oh, uh, silly me.

In all the excitement,

I-- I completely forgot.

Guards, bill the Illiop for transportation.

Special prisoner rate.

And, uh, bring him in.

Isn't he just the cutest little prisoner?

The only thing that might save your miserable neck

is to hand over those crystals.

That's not Ruxpin!

It's not?

Oh, dear! Well, we'll have to fine him for impersonating Ruxpin.

Quiet, Mrs. Maggotheart.

Who are you?

And where is Ruxpin?

But most important of all,

where are my crystals?!

Teddy, it's much too dangerous to go into M.A.V.O. Headquarters alone.

Grubby: Yeah, Teddy. Let us come with ya.

[Wooly jabbers] Please?

Don't worry. With the help of the crystals, this should be easy.

I got the Hermit into this mess,

and I'm going to get him out of it.

It's one of those days

when nothing goes right!

Oh, I suppose you think it's all my fault.

Understander: Silence!

Eleanor, you know Illiops.

They must have a weakness.

Hmm. Not too many.

They're strong, honest, brave, and loyal.

Loyal. That's it.

An Illiop's loyalty is his greatest weakness.

Of course.

We can make Ruxpin come to us.

Eh, how?

We use this wretched creature as bait.

Surely Ruxpin will come to rescue his comrade.

And no doubt he will bring the crystals.

Their magic will be his only hope of evading us.

I'll write a press release for The Grundo Gazette

saying that another Illiop has been found.

And add that he is being held prisoner in the dungeons.

Oh, but what if Ruxpin gets past the guards and into the dungeons?

He'll be most disappointed.

You see, the Hermit prisoner will be at my house.

Oh, at-- at your house.

But, oh, deary me,

now I'm all confused.

If the Hermit is at your house,

who will Ruxpin find in the dungeons?

Who indeed?

Sludge, come here.

[laughs] I have a job for you.

Gee, Gimmick. I've never seen Teddy looking so serious before.

I think there's more to this Hermit than we suspect.

Extry, extry, read all about it.

"M.A.V.O. monsters manacle mysterious Illiop,

clamor coldly for crystals."

What's it say, Teddy?

"An Illiop believed to be the mysterious Hermit of Leekee Lake

is being held prisoner in the M.A.V.O. dungeons

by the Supreme Oppressor.

He will be freed only if the crystals are turned over by Teddy Ruxpin."

We can't hand over the crystals, can we, Teddy?

No, Grubby, never.

But we can rescue the Hermit.

There.

Oh, do you think it's tight enough?

Well, maybe one more tug!

Ooh, isn't this just swell?

Yes, I always knew I loved lying and cheating,

but this chaining up is even more fun. [laughs]

There. Now back to M.A.V.O.

Sparky!

Watch him.

There's a good boy.

We'll be back.

[Sparky sniffing]

Thank you for taking me this far.

Good luck, Teddy.

Yes, and be careful, my boy.

We'll wait for you here.

Wooly: Yeah, Teddy. Teddy?

Where'd he go?

He's used the invisibility crystal.

But if you look carefully...

Teddy: Don't worry. I'll be back with the Hermit in no time at all.

[gasps]

[snoring]

Teddy: Mr. Hermit. Don't be frightened.

I've come to rescue you.

It's me. In a second, we'll both be invisible,

and we can get out of this awful place.

Ah, but I kinda like it here.

[gasps]

Understander: And so will you, Ruxpin!

Aah!

At last, the crystals are ours!

Ours!

Darkness will fall across the land.

At last, we've done it.

We've done it!

[laughs]
