I hope I have time to finish my best friend card for school tomorrow.

It's for Chris. Even though you're my real best friend.

A little glue and some sparkles.

It's going to be so great.

Hmm. What do you think, Pipsqueak?

Thanks for all your help.

Now, who's Katie's best friend?

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Hello! Yeah, this is Katie.

Oh, Chris! Sorry. I almost forgot.

Sorry, Pipsqueak, gotta run, I've got soccer practice.

See you later!

Perfect! Now I can make my best friend card.

Let's see, I'll need lots more paint.

Oh, and tons more glitter!

Hmm...

I forgot my cleats.

Pipsqueak!

No!

The glitter jar!

Oh! Pips!

Bad, Pipsqueak, bad!

Look at this mess you made.

I'm gonna have to start all over!

Ugh, I'm so mad. Thanks a lot!

I was just trying to do something nice.

But does she appreciate me? No!

She gets all mad just because I made a little mess! Oh.

One day not so far away

The night won't seem so lonely

One day in every way

That someone will care for me

And it warms my heart to know that I'll be loved

But for now it's just

One day

There's a place I sometimes go

When I need a little hope

In my dreams I always see beyond the strife

There, nobody sheds a tear

There, nobody has a fear

And it makes me smile

If for a little while

For I know that one day my dream will come to life

Let's see if she misses me after I'm gone.

Huh?

Oh!

Oh, no!

Uh-oh.

This may be the day

I have my star to wish upon

This day I'll fly away

To find where I belong

And I smile because

I am flying towards

A place that soars to find

My one

fine day

Celebrate good times Come on!

There's a party going on right here

A celebration to last throughout the years

So bring your good times and your laughter, too

We gonna celebrate your party with you Come on now

Celebration

Let's all celebrate and have a good time

Celebration

We gonna celebrate and have a good time

It's time to come together

It's up to you What's your pleasure?

Everyone around the world Come on!

It's a celebration

Ya-hoo!

It's a celebration

It's a celebration Ya-hoo!

We're all here to personally welcome you to...

Zhu!

Wow! I've sure never had a welcome like this.

Oh, we welcome everyone to Zhu Zhu just like this!

Oh! So it wasn't because you appreciate me being here.

Oh, sure we do!

They call me Mr. Squiggles.

Hi, I'm Pipsqueak.

And this is Zhu Zhu.

The place hamsters wind up if they get lost.

Or go off searching for something missing.

This place is way cool, but way dry, too.

As in zero waves.

This dude and me are ready to hunt down some serious surf.

So, I guess you're all pretty happy to be here?

Well, everyone is very nice and it's so pretty here...

But it's not home.

Well, like Num Nums and Chunk, I haven't been here long,

but I've already explored pretty much every inch of it.

So I'm ready to move on,

discover what's over the next hill.

The next mountain!

So, Pips, why'd you wind up here?

I guess because I'm searching for someplace I'll be appreciated.

Couldn't help overhearing.

Stinker's the name, helping hams' my game.

And I've got just what youse after.

The Palace of Zhu!

I am talking pure paradise.

It's got it all, including the Great Zhu Fu!

Zhu who?

Zhu Fu!

He's like the ultimate Zhu Master, a total wizard.

He can grant any wish you can think of.

If the place is so glam, why isn't everyone there?

I heard the Palace of Zhu is just a legend.

Like, 'cause nobody knows for sure that it really exists.

They say everyone that ever went looking for it disappeared.

Never to be seen again.

Trust me, I'd never scam a ham.

Place is as real as my stinking tail.

Made the trip loads. It's a piece of cake.

Reason no one comes back is 'cause once you're there, you wanna stay forever.

Just say the word and I'll take you there myself.

Really? When?

No time like instantly!

Just take the tube to the end of the line.

And we're there?

Not exactly.

But you're on your way to making all your dreams come true.

All right!

You know, it's got the biggest waves you've ever seen.

And talk about places to explore.

Of course, if the little lady here is the only one brave enough...

Let's go! I'm in!

Coming, Nums?

I guess so.

No one likes being left behind.

Done deal! Meet you there.

You're not going with us?

Well, the tube is okay for you hams.

But this skunk here is calaustera...

I'm not big on tight spaces.

After you.

Oh, sorry, dude.

No problem.

Oh, double sorry, dude.

No problem.

Whoa!

Carrots! Num, num.

Where's Stinker?

Skunks may have longer legs,

but we hams are built for speed.

Cool shoes! You ever like, uh, wear 'em?

No way! I keep all my favorite stuff in 'em.

So I don't want 'em to, you know, smell like feet.

So, Chunk, how'd you end up here?

Uh, no big.

Nothing much to tell.

It's not like we've got anything better to do, while we wait for Stinker.

Come on, Chunks, please tell us.

Okay, it was like this.

Me and my two-legged bro used to cruise the beaches,

scoping out the biggest waves.

Hey, Chunk, catch you later.

Don't be late, little dude.

Where you going?

But then, I wiped out.

What a tragic story.

If you ask me, pal, you're lucky to be rid of the guy.

Come on, if he'd given a radish about you, he'd have waited.

Okay!

Last one there stinks worse than me!

Come on, we cannot let that Stinker skunk us!

Yeah! Come on! Let's go!

Chunk sure had it rough.

Nothing like that ever happened to me.

Hurry! SQUIGGLES: You've gotta see this!

Whoa.

I've seen my share ofjungles,

but this one's paws down the best.

Wonder how much farther to the Palace?

Maybe we can make it there before it gets too dark.

Not unless you can sprout wings.

You mean it's on the other side of this jungle?

Try the other side of that mountain.

Hey, wait a minute. You said it was a piece of cake.

Never gonna get there if you don't start moving those tails!

Oh! I can't believe how far we still have to go.

Not too late for you to turn back.

It is for me, I'm going for it!

It looks just like mine used to.

Before...

Wait for me!

Very interesting plant life!

Hmm.

Thanks.

Eh, Mr. Squiggles! Sorry.

Shh!

Wow!

Huh?

Whoa!

Watch out! Run!

Cool! All clear!

Strange, something must have spooked them.

I know the feeling.

Hope it's not a wild hamster-eater.

Or a bear!

Sorry, it wasn't a bear.

It was just my stomach growling.

I zoned out and forgot to pack any eats.

I already went through all my snack supplies, too.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to come along.

What? Have I got something stuck in my teeth?

I'm happy to share.

Yes! Sweet!

Oh, sure nice of you, Nums.

Shh. I hear something.

Wasn't me.

What's wrong, Mr. Squiggles?

I'm not sure.

But whatever's out there is making my fur crawl.

This reminds me of the weenie roasts we used to have down at the beach.

Huh?

Where I used to live we'd roast marshmallows in the fireplace.

Same at our place!

We used to have so much fun together.

Did you cook anything special where you lived, Mr. Squiggles?

Nope! Never had a home.

No home?

Then, where did you grow up?

Behind bars!

In the darkest, most depressing place on earth.

They called it a "Pet Store,"

but it was really a pet prison!

I finally came up with a plan.

Took me months, but I kept at it until...

I was ready to make my break.

It worked! I busted out!

I became a new ham that night.

Free at last to explore!

I hit the road on my trusty skater and never looked back.

I can't believe how tough some hams have it.

Oh, it's history, old news.

Fresh horizons ahead, starting bright and early tomorrow.

So time to hit the wood shavings.

How will we find the Palace if Stinker doesn't come back?

Might be better off without him.

I'm not sure I trust that skunk.

Help!

Pipsqueak's gone!

Help!

Hang on, Pipsqueak! We'll save you!

Pipsqueak!

Put me down, you big Neander-Zhu.

Hmph! You don't scare me.

Uh, but you do.

Me, Mangawanga, King of the Amazhu!

Me like you.

That's totally gross!

I'm so outta here.

Yeah!

Uh-oh!

That'll teach you not to mess with...

You wouldn't!

You would!

Wow, thanks!

Awesome moves, dude!

We're not out of the woods yet!

Almost! Look!

Sure you wanna leave?

I mean, you said you wanted to be appreciated.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

Yo, Pips! You were kicking back there.

Where'd you learn to hang so high?

Place I used to live.

But, believe me, my talents weren't appreciated.

Oh, what went down? Why'd you move on?

Oh, I tried to do something special for my girl...

I mean, the person that lived there.

Anyway, it didn't work out the way I planned

and she got really mad at me.

So I left.

Are you saying you abandoned your girl just because she got upset with you?

I decided if she didn't appreciate me,

I'd find someone who would.

Oh! Don't you know we pets are honor bound

to do everything we possibly can to make our girl or boy happy?

Hey, you don't understand, so just back off!

What I do understand is that it's every pet's duty

to always give every ounce of the love in our hearts.

No matter what happens to us!

Whoa, time out!

Guess the snow's not cold enough 'cause you two need to chill.

Where'd she get off telling me what I should do with my girl?

Look, she doesn't like to talk about it,

but Nums used to have a girl of her own that she was crazy about.

So, what happened?

Num Nums was as happy as a ham can be.

The only pet in a great home.

But then her family decided to move to a new apartment.

That's the saddest story I ever heard.

Not everyone gets to decide to pack it in

and leave home like you did.

Yeah, I guess I was pretty lucky.

I just didn't know how much.

Which way now?

Normally, I like to explore all my options, but I don't know.

Oh, Mr. Squiggles!

Your back!

No worries! I got you covered, bro!

Ah, sorry, dude, I thought you were, like, on fire or something.

Look! It's just like yours!

Whoa, it's like a sign or something.

Clear as a squiggle on a map.

Showing us the way.

Follow me!

Oh, sorry, dude.

Follow me!

Just take it slow and easy.

We're almost across.

Oh!

What if that sign was actually a warning

sign!

I got you!

I'm sorry.

Friends? Friends.

Whoa, you're still all in one piece.

I mean, great to see you.

Where did you disappear to?

Well, I had to drop in on my cuz.

Stank! Yeah. He lives in the burrow just down the...

Just tell us how much longer to the Palace of Zhu?

Just gotta get over the glacier there and you're home free.

Any more surprises you forgot to tell us about?

Uh, did I mention the Zhurasics?

What's a Zhurasic?

Pipsqueak! Head for that crack in the rocks.

Chunk!

No!

Knew I should've cut back on the cupcakes.

Ha! That was great!

Mr. Squiggles, your cape!

Guys?

Whoa!

Is that Big Foot?

Well, he certainly has big feet.

Run!

Where now?

Whoa!

I got an idea!

Naw, never mind.

Whatever it is, Chunk...

Go for it!

All right! Hop aboard!

Hang on!

Can we outrun the avalanche?

Yo, dudes, lean to!

It's almost on us!

Time to go extreme.

I'm glad you're okay.

Oh, Chunk, you were totally amazing!

Sun!

Huh?

The sun symbol on your back.

It's glowing! Sweet!

Maybe it means that you did it, Chunk!

Look! You found the Palace of Zhu!

Now all we have to do is find the Great Zhu Fu.

What's wrong, Num Nums?

I already had my dream and lost it.

Well, it's time to dream up a brand new one.

Come on, we don't want the guys using up all our wishes.

Whoa, yeah! Sweet!

I figured the Big Zhuhuna would have cool digs,

but this is chill times a zill.

And empty. Not a single ham in sight.

Kind of creepy.

How 'bout that!

You made it past Zhusquashya.

Well, if it isn't the sneaky skunk

that nearly got us chomped and tromped.

Buddy, pal, never a doubt.

Always knew you'd come through!

Whatever. So where is everybody,

all the happy hams that never wanted to leave here?

Inside. I'll give you the grand tour.

Why should we ever trust you again?

You wanna meet the Great Zhu Fu, don't you?

We came this far.

Might as well explore what's inside.

The Zhu Fu dude must be seriously pumped

if he's strong enough to open this door.

The symbols!

Or he really does have major magic powers!

What'd I tell you?

Only ours are glowing.

Check it out!

Whoa.

Even the ceiling's like totally...

I know, "Sorry, dude. "

Hey, no prob, but I think it was my bad.

The Great Zhu Fu!

We're locked in!

And guess what? Stinker ditched us again.

Then we might as well start exploring.

Hey, I think there's someone there.

It must be the Great Zhu Fu!

It is him!

Snake!

But where is it?

I'm right here.

You can't miss me.

I am Mazhula.

Ruler of the Palace!

Gotcha!

I knew we shouldn't have trusted that skunk.

Huh?

I see the little Stinker forgot to mention me.

Oh, tsk, tsk.

What can I say? It's a living.

That's what you get for only bringing me four new slaves.

Did she say slaves?

I don't understand, where is the Great Zhu Fu?

Oh, he's here.

But he's not all that great anymore.

Observe.

Welcome to my secret lair.

Oh! Everybody okay?

What? Yeah,

but they sure aren't.

What is all this?

Yes.

Behold the true power of Zhu.

My power!

There is your Great Zhu Fu.

This is who you fools risked your lives to meet.

You are the foolish one, Mazhula,

if you do not see that evil

can never prevail over goodness.

Look around, Fu! I've already won!

I have turned you and all your little followers into my slaves.

Including my greatest triumph of all!

I don't get it. Why don't they just kick her evil tail outta here?

Allow me to demonstrate

what you will soon experience firsthand.

Bow to your ruler, beast!

Then know my wrath!

Oh, I feel so sorry for him.

He's having such a bad day.

You think his day reeks?

Wait till you see what she does to you.

Collar my new slaves.

Why are you helping her?

You're not even wearing a collar.

Hello, skunk here.

Mazhula only wants hamsters.

'Cause everyone knows there's nothing stronger than hamster power.

That's because hamster power comes from the heart.

Might have noticed, I'm not exactly all heart.

But he's smart enough to know

that soon I will have captured enough hamsters

to give me the power to take over all of Zhu Zhu!

And then, the entire Zhuniverse.

No one's making me a prisoner again.

I'm down with that, bro,

but what can we do?

Show this skunk how right he is about hamster power.

What're you fur balls up to?

Trust us.

Wait! What?

No! Oh, no!

Oh, yes! You big stink ball.

Zhusquashya, crush them!

Nums, how did you know he wasn't going to hurt us?

I could tell, down deep, he's just like us.

Leaving so soon?

Door's still closed! We're trapped!

You're here for dinner.

My dinner.

Gotta be another way out.

Stinker came from...

The throne!

Hurry. Dive!

We made it!

She hasn't followed us.

Smart thing would be to head back to the city.

But there's no way we can leave those poor hams.

Hey, you know me, I never do the smart thing.

Time to hatch a plan.

I wish there was some way we could ask

the Great Zhu Fu what we should do.

That's it! If we can get to Zhu Fu,

I'll bet he can give us some magic to battle Mazhula.

Worth a try. But awful risky,

so Chunk and I better go alone.

No way!

We stick together!

We're a team now.

Wow, we really are.

Okay then, we wait until night.

When the scaly witch should be asleep.

Sorry, dude.

What's wrong?

Zhu Fu's not here.

I have been waiting for you.

I knew you would come.

Oh, Great Zhu Fu, we need you to give us magic to stop Mazhula.

I regret that there is no magic spell,

nothing that I can give to you.

Oh.

Oh, do not lose heart, my children,

for you already possess all that you need.

We do?

Everything you have been searching for...

The real magic is inside

each and every Zhu of you.

Inside? Uh, where?

Have you already forgotten

your extraordinary journey here?

How you each demonstrated great skill and courage

in the face of grave danger?

Well, we were pretty amazing.

You must also never forget

how your symbols helped guide you here.

That's true, too.

Or how much each of you has learned and grown

thanks to the other.

For the first time in my life

I don't feel like I have to do it all on my own.

I've got friends now

that I can really trust.

I know I will never stop loving my old family,

but it's time to quit being afraid of opening up my heart.

Starting with my new friends.

Thanks to you I realize how much I really miss my Katie.

And that I was totally wrong to run away.

Guess I found out it's okay not being super smart,

long as you have cool friends that accept you just the way you are.

Looks like all we have to do now is figure out how to stop Mazhula.

You have observed how she recharges her power

through her serpent tail, huh?

Oh, yeah, she must use up a lot of energy shooting off all those blasts.

Uh, sorry.

Cracked myself up thinking how funny it'd be

if next time she, like, stuck her tail in a tub of glue instead.

Uh, so maybe it wasn't that funny.

Not funny? It's pure genius!

Chunk, you're brilliant!

Whoever said you're not smart?

Glad you all like my idea,

but where we gonna find a tub of glue?

I've got something that should work just as well.

Perfect! So while Nums works on her end,

all the rest of us have to do

is get Mazhula to use up all her power trying to toast us.

Let me take a swing at her?

Better her than me.

Everyone set for maximum speed?

Remember, the Zhu is within you.

What half-brain would dare defy me?

Huh?

That ham power seriously amped her up.

She's like super-sized.

Whoo!

Keep her blasting!

That'll drain her energy.

This is gonna take forever.

Ooh, yes!

Time for toasted hamster!

Hey, ugly!

Whoa!

Ha-ha!

Yo, slime breath, I'm up here!

Hmm.

You'll never escape me!

Oh, yeah? Watch this!

Yo, lizard lips!

You've ruined my new manicure.

Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!

Whoa!

Enough playing around!

Zhuhoo!

Barbeque time.

Whoa!

Whoa!

If I can't have you for slaves,

I'll have you for dinner!

I'm just trying to make glue.

Nice yeti?

That was great!

Lookie, lookie!

Here's some red hot chili pepper.

Gotcha!

Stinker! He's my friend now.

Hey! Stop that!

Yeah, right! Huh?

Time for a taste of your own medicine.

Now who's having a bad day?

Huh?

Go for it!

Stay still, I haven't got all night!

Now I've got you!

I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.

Yeah, getting pretty wiped, too.

You'll never escape me!

Oh, not again!

Hang in there. It's working.

She's losing power.

I am so going to enjoy obliterating you wretched rodents.

What? Not now!

Come on, you can do it.

Not possible!

Ha! We did it! She's outta juice!

For now, but once I recharge

I'll blast you to bits!

Ridiculous! Inconceivable!

I'll not let a pack of rodents get the better of me!

Hey, guys, meet my new friend.

Mission a success?

All done.

I'd have been here sooner to help,

but I had a little snitch to deal with.

Finally, my karate lessons paid off.

Ready to finish this?

Totally. Come on!

Zhuhoo!

I am going to turn those glorified rats

into crispy critters once I...

What in the...

Carrot paste. Hot and spicy.

Num, num!

You did it, Nums!

You may have slowed me down,

but you puny little nothings

can never stop me!

Then how about an army of puny nothings?

And if that isn't big enough,

then meet my new big friend.

What?

No, no, no, no, no! Stop!

My good Zhus,

before the celebration can begin in earnest,

we must decide what is to be done

with this evil intruder.

Ooh, now, now, now, now. Come, come.

I never meant to hurt any of you.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh!

I've got an idea,

if you can grant me one wish.

I shall gladly do anything for my new Zhu heroes.

Ah.

The magic of Zhu is only for the betterment of the world,

which there can be no doubt your wish shall accomplish.

Oh! Mommy.

Whoa.

Where did you send her?

As you can see,

the Zhuniverse is filled with many wondrous worlds.

All just a wish away.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. Sweet. Mmm.

Home! Oh, I miss my Katie so much I can hardly stand it.

Please, Great Zhu Fu, can you use your magic to send me home?

Hmm, you do not need my help, little one,

you have had the power all along.

Your shooting star will take you wherever you wish.

Oh! I can't wait!

I'll wish it right now.

Too bad we don't have more time to say good-bye.

Oh, Pips, I'll miss you forever.

Me, too. Never forget you.

Mom! I still can't find her.

Oh, where are you, Pip?

Come on, I know you have to be here somewhere.

Please come home, Pipsqueak.

I miss you so much.

Pipsqueak! You're back!

I missed you so much.

I am sorry I got so mad.

I promise I'll never ever yell at you again

and I'll clean your cage every day and bring you all sorts of snacks.

Just promise me you won't ever run away again

because I really, really missed you.

Who's Katie's best friend?

That was one totally mag ride!

I can't believe we're all here.

Oh, what if she doesn't want us?

Oh, who are you?

Ah! What a little cutie you are!

I am so going to love you.

Yes, I am. Yes, I am.

Hey, Pips, now we're one big happy family.

Don't go anywhere.

I am going to go get you all something yummy to eat.

Um, I hope it's okay if your girl cares for me.

Just a little, too.

She's our girl now.

'Cause best friends share everything.

Num Nums, your heart!

I know! My heart's full again.

Num Nums.

And, guys, I promise, you're gonna love it here, too.

Chunk, the beach is just a block away,

and, Squiggs, there are loads of great places for you to explore.

Sweet!

The most important thing is

we're all together in our very own home.

Hey!

There really is no place in the Zhuniverse like home.

And I smile because

I'm flying towards

A place that soars to find

My one

fine day

Ah-ha.

You went to school to learn, girl

Things you never, never knew before

I- hi-ha I before E except after C

And why two plus two makes four

Sing a simple melody

That's how easy love can be

That's how easy love can be Sing a simple melody

1- 2-3, you and me

Now, who's Katie's best friend?

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
