[frogs croaking]

[Hop Pop] All right, kids!

We're about to hit the Dry Swamp.

Here, Anne. You're gonna wanna hydrate.

That's okay, dude. It's still a swamp. How dry could it be...

[shivering]

Gimme that stuff! Whee!

[Hop Pop chuckles] Welcome to the Dry Swamp, Anne!

Home to giant frog-eating sand worms. Bandits. Vagabonds.

You'd know if you'd ever read the classic play, Fear the Dry Swamp.

Oh, brother. He's gonna act.

"Hark. For I am homeless.

I am friendless.

I am the Dry Swamp."

You know, I was this close to getting the lead part once.

You don't say. Uh-huh.

Yep. Before I was a farm frog,

your Hop Pop had dreams.

Next life, I suppose.

[growls]

[all screaming]

Hey, you! Head towards that dune!

We've got a caravan on the other side

and this thing's spooked by numbers!

What?

[whinnies]

Yee-hay!

Hey! Thanks for your help out there!

Don't mention it. You know,

you folks really shouldn't be out here on your own.

Haven't you ever read Fear the Dry Swamp?

You know that play?

Know it? Ha! I directed it!

Renee Frodgers is the name and managing this acting troupe is my game.

An acting troupe? Here?

Wow. What are the chances.

Say, why don't you folks join our caravan?

We could use extra stagehands

and you know what they say: "Safety in numbers!"

We're in!

Welcome to our humble operation.

[gasps]

To be or not to be.

Ooh! Ah! Oh!

Hey, Francis! Show these youngsters to the kids' wagon.

As you wish, madam.

I am Francois, heir to House D'arncool.

He's method.

[all] Uh... He's what-what?

It means he embodies a character on and off set!

Duh!

Ha! Ha! Sharp as a tack, HP.

Care to join me in my trailer?

I'd love to pitch you our latest production.

Would I?

[laughs]

[clears throat]

You three are free to join me if you wish. Ha! Ha!

Wow. That guy...

is the coolest kid I've ever met!

- Let's go with him. - I'm in.

Yeah! Absolutely not!

I was in a school play once. It was awful.

And this place is bringing back... memories.

� I'm a tooth That's the truth �

[screams]

[screaming]

Four out of five dentists agreed, I was traumatized.

Anyways, see you dudes later.

I've got a complicated jigsaw puzzle with my name on it!

[whispering] Yes, my babies. Yes.

Mm, okay. Bye.

Here we are! Excuse the mess.

We're in the middle of casting our lead.

But none of the candidates are popping, you know?

Well, what are you looking for? Uh, older gent.

Rough around the edges, but still has a good heart.

Someone like you, actually. Too bad you're not an actor.

[clears throat] Actually, I am an actor.

That so? Huh, you wanna audition?

"Hark. For I am homeless. I am friendless.

I am... "Stop!

You're hitting me, but you're not knocking me out.

Know what I mean?

No. You're not right for the part.

Oh.

Super! Guess we're all done here then.

That was your cue to leave.

[laughs]

[sighs] These kids are so cool.

If only I could be one of them.

Eh, it can't be that hard. Here!

[grunts]

Hey! Watch it!

Heh. Sorry. I'm Sprig by the way.

[others gasp] Hmm. Hmm?

We don't use our real names here.

For we must become our characters.

Well, then I'm Spruueg Plantoir.

Your... nemesis. En garde!

I don't believe you.

[sighs] C'mon Polly, let's get outta here. Huh?

Who's Polly, governor?

I'm Lydia Davenport. The black widow.

Ignore him, Lydia. He clearly doesn't have enough... character.

[all laughing]

[laughs] Character.

I'm gonna get in with this group if it's the last thing I do.

Okay, Hopediah, this is starting to get a little sad.

Sad? Sad!

I'll tell you what's sad.

Sad is having a dream that will never come true.

Sad is knowing you'll never be more than a vegetable farmer.

But you know what?

I'd still rather be sad and have a dream,

than live life without one.

- [clapping] - Huh?

Now that's what I've been looking for.

Theater is truth,

and, baby, you just served up a heaping spoonful.

You got the lead part, Hopediah.

[gasps]

Now, let's get this show on the road.

Literally.

[all gasp]

� We're taking all Of our hopes and dreams �

� Just wait For the company... �

Oh, come on!

� ...good show is coming To your town �

� We're hitchin' our wagon And we're caravaning �

� To our dreams �

[crying]

- [cheering] - Thank you.

-Thank you. -� ...and caravaning To our dreams �

[grunts]

Oh, yeah.

[whistling]

Say, Renee, I've got a dialogue suggestion

for page 9 that could...

Huh? Renee?

So the next town's bank has two guards unarmed.

We wait till Hopediah's big death scene,

then take 'em out.

[clears throat] Excuse me.

Is this a bad time?

Ah, nuts.

Boys, will you give us a moment?

[both grunting]

Renee, wha... What's going on?

Well, Hop Pop, since you're the lead I'll level with ya.

We're trying to find the best way to rob this next town blind.

Care for a drink? Oh, no, thank you.

Wait, what! Why?

Truth be told, there's not much coin in theater these days.

We're barely scraping by as is.

So we travel from town to town

and while people are transfixed by our amazing plays...

Blamo! We take what we deserve.

But this is wrong!

What's wrong is how under appreciated the arts are.

Besides, we only take what we need.

And just think about what this play means to you.

You're the lead. [grunts]

Every dream has its price, am I right?

- Well... - That's the spirit.

We'll see you tomorrow for the big night.

[groans]

[yelps] Anne!

The play's a distraction for a bank robbery.

On one hand, that's awful.

But on the other hand, we need to support the arts, right?

What? No! They're using you to commit crimes.

You can't just pretend you don't know that.

Hmm. I probably could.

I'm a very good actor, you know.

Thanks for the advice, Anne.

[screams, pants] Anne!

The theater kids don't like me.

[grunts] Seriously?

It doesn't matter what those theater dorks think.

You're right. It matters what they feel.

I just have to speak to their hearts.

Thanks, Anne. Bye.

[grunts] Anne!

I love you, girl!

I love you too, dude.

[chattering]

I hear these guys are good.

I'm excited.

[chuckles]

I am a common frog.

Yet my soul burns with the spirit of...

revolution!

Francois! Francois! [grunts]

Francois, just hear me out.

I've always wanted to be a part of a gang of friends

and if you give me a chance, we can become more than just a group of friends.

We can become a family.

Ugh! What are you talking about?

You know what, Francois. I'm sick of this.

Keep your snotty attitude and your dumb accent.

I'm out!

That intensity. That hatred.

Now, this I believe. You're in.

Yay!

[grunting]

[groans]

- [all gasp] - [groans]

All right, boys. That's our cue.

[guard grunts]

Seize this nonsense, Archibald Hopperdink.

Join us and we'll make all your dreams come true.

Never.

Only a selfish frog would put his own dreams

against the needs of others.

Against justice, against righteousness.

[sighs] Goodbye, my dream.

Didn't know you long, but you were a swell fella.

I, uh... I don't remember this part.

Everyone, this is a sham!

They're robbing you blind.

[all gasp]

The jig is up, boys. Every frog for themselves.

- [crowd yelps] - [Renee grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[screams]

Finally!

[yelps, screams]

- [laughs] - [yells]

Dah! You idiot!

What about your big break? Your dream?

That's the thing about dreams, Renee.

Sooner or later you gotta wake up!

[screams] Oh!

Renee!

Ha! Ha!

[growls]

Now that's dramatic.

[screaming]

I gotcha! I gotcha!

Oops. Kinda misjudged that arc.

Philistines! Barbarians.

Hey, thanks a lot for helping us out, actor guy.

Aw, don't mention it.

And you're sure you didn't know nothing

about this robbery beforehand?

Scout's honor.

[grunts] Dude!

I told you not to help them rob a bank.

[laughs] Uh, she's joking.

Uh, good one, Anne.

Hey, Hop Pop. We joined the theater gang.

- Just like you. - [all grunt]

Silly, kids, making jokes.

Well, gotta go. Bye! Yah!

Movies are better!
