- Now this is called
a distributor, iggy.

You can have it.

I'm putting in
a new one.

- What's it do, grandpa?

- What's it do?
Um, it, um...

It distributes!

- Like what?

- Like what?

Uh, well,
it, uh, distributes,

Um, energy.
Yeah, yeah,
that's it, energy.

Hey! This is from
a contest I entered.

Keep your fingers
crossed, everyone.

I won!

- Hooray! We won!

- It's a vacation for 3
to a tropical island,

And we go there
on a big cruise ship.

- Ya-hoo!
We're going on a boat!

- Now, heathcliff,
that wasn't nice.

Why do you always
pick on the mailman?

- Because he's there,
that's all.

- And we can pick
our own coconuts

Right off the tree,

Punch a hole in it,
and drink the milk
right out of it.

- Hey, milk without cows?
Hey, far out.

- And there'll be
every kind of fish

You ever
imagined, iggy.

- Fish? I think
I'm going to like this trip.

- There's mahimahi,
a delicious
white fish

That melts
in your mouth.

- [Slurp]

- Easy there,
heathcliff.

It says here,
"no pets allowed
on board."

We're going to have to
leave you behind this time.

- [Moans]

- It's real
sweet of you

To take care of
heathcliff for us.

I'm sure he won't be
any trouble at all.

- Oh, he'll be fine.

I'm going to put him
in my bed right now.

- Meow.

- Now, you be good,
and I'll be
right back.

It's ok, folks.

I put heathcliff down for
an afternoon nap.

- Good-bye, marcy,
and thanks again.

- Don't feel bad, iggy.

You'll see heathcliff
soon enough.

- I'm sure you're
right, grandma.

- Awk! Welcome
aboard, folks.

Hope you have
a nice trip.

I smell a cat.

- Take it easy, gabby.
There's no cat here.

Hi, folks.
Welcome aboard.

- He probably
smells our cat
on our clothes.

- [Gabby squawks]

What's in the bag, kid?

- None of your business,
gabby.

Get back here.

- Whoa. That was close.

- [Muttering]

- Let's go look
around the ship

And unpack
when we return.

- That's
a good idea.

Then he
can tell us

How he used
to build ships
like these.

You know, I used to
build these ships
when I was young.

You wouldn't
believe it, but we
used to build them

Right from scratch.

- Look at
that volcano, iggy.

I wonder
if that smoke
means anything.

Come on, g*ng.

We're going for
an outrigger canoe ride.

Maybe they'll
let me paddle.

I used to race
these babies.

- Now, heathcliff,
you stay here.

We'll be right back.

Don't get
out of the bag.

- Hey, is he kidding?

Now for a little lunch.

Oops. Oops. Aah!

Where'd he go?

[Gurgling]
now I gotcha.

Very funny.

Very funny.

Coconuts! Free milk!

Ooh!

Oh, you want
to play games,
huh, coconut?

How about
a little help?

Not even
for a lollipop?

Hey, even I'm impressed
with that move.

Milk!
[Gulp]

Ptooey!

Uh-oh.

- So, how long

Are we going
to be shopping,
grandma?

- Just an hour, iggy.

We've got to be back
for our island tour.

- [Sniffs]

Oh, a feast.

Uh-oh.

[Munching]

Mmm! Mmm!

- Iggy,
why don't you

Leave that silly bag
at the hotel?

- Oh, uh, uh,

I want to take it
with us in case I find

Some seashells
or something, grandpa.

- The tribe
that used to live
in these parts

Just up and vanished
one day.

They used
to worship idols

And were pretty scary.

Nobody misses them much.

Who-oo-oa!

- [Natives chanting]

- Grandpa, look!

- Don't worry, iggy.
It's just part of the tour.

- Yee!

- Looks like
they're taking us
to their village.

- [Natives chanting]

- Wow. Just like
in the movies.

Time to shake things up!

- [Chanting]

- Oo-oo-ooh!

- Yikes!

- Oo-oo-me-oow!

- [Natives screaming]

- Oo-ooh!

- [Screaming]

- [Heathcliff giggles]

- Hurry, folks! Hurry!

I assure youse
that the incident
back there

Was not part of
the package tour.

Those were
real natives, folks.

We should give this
little boy a hand
for saving us.

[Tourists applauding]

- If youse
look on your right,

You'll see pellapelt,
world-famous volcano.

We're going to drive up
to the top to get a better view.

You see
that pellapelt is smoking.

[Engine sputtering]

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
we're experiencing

A little difficulty.

Let's all get out of the bus

And stretch our legs awhile.

[Bubbling]

- What's that stuff
coming out of the
mountain, grandpa?

- Good grief!
Pellapelt is erupting!

That's lava!

We've got to get
out of here!

Oh, no. We've got
a bad distributor.

The bus
won't start
without one.

Now what?

- Did you say
you needed
a distributor?

- Hey, thanks, kid!

It's even the right kind!

- Yay!

- Uh-oh. We're stuck
in a mud hole.

Come on, everybody.

Let's see if we can push it
out of the hole.

[All groaning]

- Want to get famous
real quick?

[Groaning]

- Come on!
A little more!

We did it!

- Look, the elephant's
pushing our bus

Out of the mud.

[Tourists cheering]

[Elephant trumpets]

Boy, it's a shame

Heathcliff wasn't here
to see the excitement,

Huh, iggy?

- Yeah, grandpa.

I think heathcliff
would have liked it.

[Music playing]

- The aliens
are too powerful.
The earth is doomed.

But wait. What's that
up in the sky?

- Is it a bird?

- No. It's not a bird.

- Is it a jet?

- No. It's not a jet.

- Uh, is it cosmic cat?

- Yes, it's
cosmic cat.

- My hero!

- Well, here he is,
cosmic cat, exclusive
on k-a-t-t, katt radio.

h* h*! Any words
for your fans out there?

- Keep those
tuna fish donations
coming in, folks.

- I got
my donation.

- And there he goes.

Up, up,
up into the sky

Till another day.

- Up, up.

- Mungo!

- Hi, guys.

Bye, guys.

[Crash]

[Beeping]

- Mungo,
are you ok?

- [Deep voice]
ah. Mungo?

Foolish lad.

I am...cosmic cat.

- Mungo's gone nuts.

- I have an appointment

With destiny.

- Yikes.
He really thinks
he's cosmic cat.

- Ok, mungo.
Quit clowning.

- So long, fans.
I mustn't be late.

They want
to interview me

At the radio station.

- Quick.
We can't lose him.

Who knows
what kind of trouble
he'll get into.

- Hey!
Cosmic cat will be back tomorrow

With another
daring rescue. Ha ha.

Till then,
here's the catatonics

With their big smash hit,

I'm a zombie for your love.
Hoo-hoo!

So groove to this one,
cats and kitties,

And I'll be back in a flash.

Hey, good show,
you big ham.

- Deep voice:
thanks.

- Who-oo-oa!

- There he is.

- He's flying.

- Hey, we got
a great thing
going here.

Everybody believes
there's a real
cosmic cat.

[Gasps]

- What is it, lad?

Have you never seen
cosmic cat before?

- Uh, uh, yeah, uh, sure.

- Well, what are you
waiting for?

You are going to
interview me, aren't you?

My fans want to hear from me.

- Mungo, come on out.
We know you're in there.

- Is this lunatic
in here a friend
of yours?

- Yeah.

- That's great.
Boys, have I got
a deal for you.

I'd like to
use your loony
pal here

To promote
cosmic cat.
What do you say?

- What do we get
out of it?

- It's show biz.
It's excitement.

Why, it's all the milk
and tuna fish sandwiches

You can eat.

- You got yourself a deal.

- Ok, boys.
It's superhero time.

Ha ha. Get ready.

- I don't like this
one bit.

What if someone
recognizes me?

- Don't think twice.
You look very nice.

- They seem ready up there.

Ok, let's roll it.

Action.

- Help! Help!

Somebody stop
my baby carriage.

- Ah. Aha!

A job
for cosmic cat.

- Yikes.
You can't fly yet.

Gotcha.

Ok, mungo,
do your stuff.

- Help!

Somebody stop
my baby carriage.

- [Gangster voice]
hiya, hector.

Ha ha ha.
See?

- Oh! Ohh!

- Look, up in the sky,

It's cosmic cat!

Hey, wow, everybody.

This is a k-a-t-t,
katt exclusive.

Cosmic cat
is going to rescue

An out-of-control
baby carriage.

This is truly amazing.

- Ooh! Ow!

- [Gangster voice]
ah, that's not cosmic cat.
That's mungo.

Boy, am I ever going to put
that phony in his place, see?

- Help!

Hurry up and save me.

That water's awfully close.

Gee, thanks,
hector.

Woo!

[Line stretching]

- Yeow!

Whoops!

- Cosmic cat has just saved
a kitten

And his mom.
This is truly fantastic.

And remember, folks,

Keep those cosmic cat donations
purr-ring in!

What a cat! What a hero!

Wait till you see what
I got planned next.

The greatest
promotion gimmick
in history.

We'll be rich.

- What do you have in mind?

- Cosmic cat
meets dynamic dog,

The superhero
contest of
the century!

And I'm putting
my money on dynamic dog.

He'll destroy
cosmic cat
just like that.

Pure genius. Ha ha.

[Crowd talking excitedly]

- Terrific!

- And now k-a-t-t, katt radio,

Is proud to present

The greatest superhero contest
in history.

Cosmic cat
faces dynamic dog

In the battle
of the century.

Who will eat all his
hard-boiled eggs first

And win the contest?

The big moment has come.

[Blows whistle]

- What's mungo doing?

- [Murmuring]

- [Chuckles]

- [Burps]

- Rah, rah, rah!

Rah, rah, rah!

- [Cheering]

- I'm ruined.

I bet everything I had

On dynamic dog,

And that fat bozo
had to win.

Oh, I'm ruined.

- Deep voice:
good-bye, d.j.
Good luck.

- You can't leave me.
You're the voice of cosmic cat.

You're my bread and butter.

- It sure would be
nice to have
the old mungo back.

Following cosmic cat
around all the time
is just too tiring.

- [Distant high-pitched voice]
help! Help!

- Duh, aha!

This is a job for me.

- Ouch!

- Look out!

[Tires screech]

- This is
ridiculous.

- Quick!
We can't lose him.

- [Wordsworth groans]

- Ah...hello.

I'm here
to save someone.

- Ah, you'll have
to save yourself

Because you're
a big phony, and I'm
going to prove it.

- You insulted me, sir.

Are you prepared
to face the consequences?

- Ah, put up
your dukes, mungo.

- I, sir,
am cosmic cat,

And, you, sir,
are making
a big mistake.

[Crash]

- Come on, cosmic cat.
Yeah, do your stuff.

- [Regular voice]
uh, me, cosmic cat?

Oh, you must've got
the wrong guy.

I'm mungo, mungo
from the junkyard.

- Yeah, I knew it.
Ok, you big phony,
get lost.

- [Deep voice]
sir, i, cosmic cat,

Am furious with you.

- Ok, you asked for it.

- [Regular voice]
uh, are you mad
at me or something?

You sure you got
the right guy?

- Oh, yes, cosmic cat,

I got the right guy.

- Duh, I'm not
cosmic cat.
I'm mungo.

How many times
do I got
to tell you?

- Ah, are you
cosmic cat or mungo?

Make up your mind.
You're driving me crazy.

- Duh, I'm mungo.

You know,
good old mungo.

- I can't take
any more of this.

- Uh, you don't
look so good.

- Remind me never to talk
to that mungo again.

He's got
these weird powers, see?

- It's nice to have
you back, mungo.

- By the way,
where's your costume?

- I put it away
for a while.

- You mean cosmic cat's
gone for good?

- Oh, he'll never be
gone for good.

He'll always be somewhere
fighting for justice,

Rescuing the helpless,
and helping the needy.

- As long
as he's far, far away.

- Put thaty turkey back.

You shouldn't let your pet
eat people food

Because they may acquire a taste
for it,

Then they won't eat their own.

Which has all the proper
minerals and vitamins

A pet needs keep them
healthy and strong.

Keeping the lid
on your trash can helps, too.

Good, mungo.
