Morning, Bill. Ready to reel in the big one?

Hello, Rupert. What's wrong?

Don't tell me you forgot your fishing rod.

Oh, I brought it, all right,

along with some extra "tackle."

Wheee! Toby go fish!

I forgot about promising Mum I'd Toby-sit today.

Not to worry.

I'm sure he won't be any troub--

(Laughing) Toby gotta "Ruper" scarf!

All right, Toby, Rupert's here,

now give back my fishing rod.

No! Toby go fish!

I've told you, you're too little!

No! Mine! Toby go fish!

(Choking) Ulp, uh, easy, Toby... irk!

How about a trade?

Look,

I brought your favourite!

♪

Mine! Oof!

He'll play with that for hours.

Don't just lie there, Rupert,

let's see if the fish are biting!

Bye-bye.

You should have seen the one

that got away last week.

It was this big!

That's funny.

The first time you told me that story,

it was this big.

Well, okay, maybe this big.

(Laughing)

The ones that get away always grow the fastest.

Shhh!

I've got a nibble!

(Whispering) Quiet now, Rupert, or you'll--

TOBYWaaaa!

... scare the fish away.

Waaa!

Toby, what's wrong?

Zibafone broken!

Toby wanna go fish!

I've told you a hundred times...

Wanna go fish!

... you're too little!

Strange.

It doesn't appear to be broken, but there's no music.

W-w-wwwuh...

I'm warning you, Toby, don't start. Waaa!

That's it! You leave me no choice!

I'll have to use the 'secret weapon'!

Ahem.

Uh-oh. This 'secret weapon' should remain a secret!

♪ Rock-a-bye baby

♪ On the tree top

♪ When the wind blows, the cradle will rock ♪

♪ When the bough breaks

♪ The cradle will fall ♪

♪ And down will come Toby ♪

♪ Cradle

♪ And all...

(Whispering) C'mon.

The secret weapon never fails.

One little lullaby and he's out like a light!

You'd better not sing while we're fishing.

Wouldn't want the fish nodding off!

(Laughing) (Scurrying in bushes)

Don't tell me he's awake already!

Toby, is that...? Horace hedgehog!

Hello, you two.

What's up, Horace, out worm hunting?

No, no.

Actually, I'm hunting for a reason.

A reason?

For what?

Shhh! Just listen a moment!

I can't hear a sound. It's so quiet.

Precisely!

The forest should be filled with sounds

on such a lovely spring day.

Well, it's not for want of trying!

Crikey!

I'd best go see Ol' Doc Lion.

I think I've busted my chirp.

It is strange.

Not so much as a buzz, croak or a warble.

I wonder why.

LILY MEADOWLARKWell, if anyone finds out,

please let me in on the secret.

It's Lily Meadowlark,

the most famous songstress of Nutwood forest!

Not anymore, Horace.

There I was, only this morning, singing fit to burst,

when all of a sudden...

... my song's disappeared!


I'm quiet as a mouse in bedroom slippers.

There's something very strange going on around here.

Bill, try singing a lullaby.

All right, but don't blame me if you all fall fast asleep.

Whatever it is, it seems to be catching!

Toby wanna go... Hmm?

Ahhh.

Silly dolly!

Wheee!

(Laughing)

(Gasping)

It's no use, Rupert.

I'm trying, but I can't sing a note!

You're telling me.

But your speaking voices are perfectly fine.

Listen! I hear something! (Xylophone playing)

Toby's playing his...

(Gasping)

Where's Toby!?

Toby, where are you!?

Come on now! This is no time

for hide and seek!

He's not down here.

Nor here.

(Bird chirping)

I'd recognize that song anywhere.

So would I! That's me!

TOBYAhh, pwitty birdy!

And that's Toby! Come on!

(Bird chirping)

Silly dolly!

Whoops!

(Bird chirping)

Nice birdie!

(Bird chirping)

(Bird chirping)

That's my song you're singing, you copycat!

Come back dolly!

Toby!

Get back here!

Who's he following?

Bye-bye. No, Toby!

No bye-bye!

Quick, boys,

the rope!

Whoaaa!

Thanks, Horace!

Good luck.

Stealing a person's song, the very idea!

I hope you have something to say for yourself,

young man!

(Giggling)

Unh!

Just a bit... unh...

farther!

Whoa!

Made it!

Climb on my shoulder!

See if you can reach the railing!

Now see here!

You've got my song in there somewhere,

and I want it back!

Ow! You're a hard-headed one, you are!

Got it, Rupert!

Billy?

Toby! Thank goodness you're...

Oh, no! No, Toby! Don't... Whoops!

... touch.

Whoaaa!

Billy go bye-bye?

I never thought

when you asked me to go fishing this morning,

we'd be the ones on the hook!

I wonder where it's taking us.

Don't ask me.

I've been asking old tin head questions

'til my beak is sore, and he isn't talking.

Well, Rupert, I'd say this calls for a plan,

hopefully something that doesn't involve

any more climbing!

I'm sure we can think of something.

Um... may I make a suggestion, boys?

Certainly, Lily. What's your idea?

Whatever you do,

hang on!

Climb! No time, Bill!

We'll have to run for it! Huh?

Hang on!

Whoa!

Aahhh!

Whee!

Billy and Rupert swing!

(Struggling)

Sorry, I can't budge it!

Hang tight, you two!

Whoaaa!

Oh, from now on,

I'm keeping both feet on the ground,

if we ever see the ground again, that is.

Don't worry, Bill,


I think we'll soon be coming in for a landing!

Look at that!

Gosh! Now that's what I call a castle!

(Gasping)

And that's what I call a castle wall!

Here we go again!

Whoaaa!

Oof!

(Gasping)

I think we've landed in a toy store.

It's like Christmas come early.

Whee! Toby slide!

Now, now, not so fast,

you little whipper-snapper!

(Struggling)

(Laughing) Funny birdy.

Oh, dear!

Wheee!

Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!

I wonder if you could point us to the nearest exit.

Oh, come now, don't be shy.

TOBYBall!

Ball mine!

(Gasping)

Keep calm! Don't panic!

I'll get you!

Whoa!

Oof! Wheee!

Amazing!

I wonder who it belongs to.

This has to be the largest toy collection

in the world!

It's also the biggest maze in the world!

Ooh, we'll never find...

Toby!

Whee!

Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!

Whoa! Watch it!

Toby!

What are you doing in there?

Toby go wound and wound! Wheee!

Sounds like he's having a ball.

EMPERORGet out! Out I say!

Out! Out!

Wheee!

Yes, Sire!

Sorry, Sire! As you command, Sire!

And don't come back

until you have something truly amazing to show me!

Oooh! I can't keep dreaming up new ideas forever!

It's impossible!

Wolfgang! You're back!

And not a moment too soon.

RUPERTExcuse me.

Ah!

Sorry.

Ah, goodness me, I thought you were two of my toys!

You mean, you're the one who's made

all the amazing things in this castle?

Every one! I'm the Royal Toymaker.

Making toys is my life.

EMPERORWhere's my new toy!?

Playing with them is the Emperor's.

But, lately, there's just no pleasing him,

and I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas.

How could anyone not like all these?

I hope Wolfgang here has the solution

to my troubles.

He's been out collecting real bird songs

for my latest creation.

(Bird chirping)

That's my song!

And I want it back, now!

But-but only the songs of real birds

will impress the master!

I don't give two feathers about--

EMPERORToymaker! I want a new toy!

Give me back my song, you-- you song snatcher!

But-but-but...

EMPERORA new toy, now!

I want my song!

EMPERORWhere's my new toy!?

Ooh! Think! Think!

I'm sure if we just put our heads together

we can-- Hey!

Ow! Let go!

Oof!

Ouch! That wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

And what do you think you're grinning at?

(Toby giggling)

Well, with-with any luck, this will keep him amused

long enough to sort things out.

Wheee!

Toby! Stop playing around and help us!

Billy?

Toby, want to have some fun?

Toby wanna play.

Let's play Jack-in-the-box.

See the handle?

That's it, Toby. Good boy.


Well, I'm waiting!

(Bird chirping)

Hmmm, it sounds almost real.

Very ingenious!

(Hooting)

(Cricketing)

Splendid!

What else can it do?

Keep going, Toby!

Just a few more notes.

(Xylophone playing)

Toby zibafone?

No! Never mind the zibafone! Keep turning!

Well, now, I'm not familiar with that particular bird.

W-w-w-well, Sire, er, um,

it's-- it's a rare sort of bird, er...

♪ Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top ♪

♪ When the wind blows, the cradle will rock ♪

Oooh, what sort of bird is that!?

Make it stop! I command you!

♪ And down...

Come on, Toby, finish the game.

♪ Cradle and all... ♪

Oh, no!

This is no time for a nap!

♪ Rock-a-bye baby on the tree-- ♪

RUPERTLet us out of here!

LILYGive me back my song!

No time!

No time! I have to think!

No, no! That will never... What's this?

Ooh, isn't he a cute little thing?

Hey! That's my baby brother!

Yes, cuddly and very life-like.

What do you think you're doing!?

I'm sure the Emperor will love his new toy!

(Gulping) He'd better.

Hmmm... how'd you wind it up?

Oh! Er, um, ah,

this one is self-winding.

Do tell!

Oooh! Big nose!

(Laughing) Oww!

Oh!

(Laughing)

What a delightfully cheeky fellow!

Whee! Toby fly!

And he talks!

You've really outdone yourself this time, Felix!

(Jack-in-the-box winding)

Giddy-up, horsie!

(Laughing) Neigh!

That's it, boys! You're almost there!

No! No stop!

(Struggling)

Ready... set...

Ooh. Ooh.

Whoa!

Whoaaa! Oof!

Whoaaa! Oof!

You're going to ruin everything!

The Master is laughing again!

Ahh!

(Coughing)

Ah! No fair!

Duck!

Look out!

Ooh!

(Laughing)

(Xylophone playing )

Zibafone mine!

(Laughing) This is the oddest little gadget

my toymaker's ever come up with!

Look out!

We're outnumbered!

(Horn blowing)

Bill, catch!

Whoaaa!

Whee!

My toys!

Uh, Sire, I-I can explain.

I should hope so! I'd like you

to explain...

why you've kept these two a secret?

I, uh... I-I-I...

By Jove!

This one's a larger version of the friendly little badger.

Actually, at the moment, I'm not all that friendly!

Billy! And this "friendly little badger"

happens to be my baby brother!

Why, I'm beginning to think these aren't toys at all.

Ah, ah, Sire, I, uh... you see, I-I...

(Sighing)

That's right. You have a bit of a rest.

I'll tell his highness a thing or two!

... you see?

My Toymaker stole your song just to amuse me?

More toys... must think... think.

Poor fellow's been working himself to a frazzle.

I wonder,


Your Majesty, did you have fun playing with Toby?

Why, of course!

Playing with little Toby here was more fun than...

... a whole castle full of toys.

Exactly!

By Jove!

Ahh! Uh, right away, Sire!

I have lots of new ideas,

at least I will have, I think.

Ah, think! Think!

I already have a castle filled

with the most amazing toys imaginable.

Perhaps it's time your working days were over, Felix.

Of course, I understand, Sire.

I'll gather my tools and go.

Who said anything about going?

I only meant that now I think it's time to play!

Ooh!

Jolly good catch!

(Laughing)

Toby wanna catch ball!

Ooh.

Whee!

(Laughing)

Go, horsie!

(Neighing)

That should do it, Lily!

The Toymaker said all we have to do

is play the songs back in reverse.

Ahem.

(Chirping)

Now that's more like it!

Let's see if it worked for you, Bill.

All right, but don't blame me if you all fall fast asleep.

Ahem.

(Xylophone playing)

Toby zibafone!

Ahem.

(Xylophone playing)

(Laughing)

Very funny, you two.

Zibafone?

I don't know, Bill,

it looks like Toby thinks it's an improvement.

Billy... mine!
