-[Buzzle] You take it.
-[Beezle] Uh-uh. No way. You take it.

I'm not hungry. You can have it.

Uh-uh. You keep it.

[bear growling]

Give me that honey, you yellow jackets!

[all yelling gibberish]

[film clicking]

[all screaming]

[all crash to the ground]

Oh! We always get stuck right there.

[Beezle] Right there every time.

Face it, fellas.
We just can't do this ourselves.

Of course, we can't do this ourselves.

We know that.
We're not uninformed, you know.

[both] Why is it again?

Because it hasn't been animated yet.

We have to find someone who can draw
toons and finish the movie for us.

Right. We need an exterminator.

You mean an entertainer.

-A translator.
-Oh yeah.

I believe the word you're
looking for is animator.

[both] Right!

And we'd better find one of those fast!

Yeah. You guys haven't forgotten about--

what is it we haven't forgotten about?

The wrecking crew.

[both stuttering] The wrecking crew!

Don't worry. We'll find an animator.

I phoned Pelican Express.
They'll be here any second.

[both] Not Pelican Express!

-Oh!
-[bird landing]

[engine noise]

[crash]

[crash]

Somebody call for Pelican Express?

We need you to send this message.

-In this bottle.
-No!

You can't do this to me.
Please recycle me. Put flowers in me.

Do anything, but please, not the Pelican.

Aw, come on now.
Toons have to stick together.

I have a bad feeling about this.

All right. Fine.

But if I break my neck,
it'll be on your head.

Here you go, Pelican.

And don't drop the bottle, okay?

Pelican Express! Our motto is...

nothing slips through our fingers.

Oopsie.

Yeouch!

Trouble is, I don't exactly have fingers,

if you know what I mean.

[Marilyn] Bonkers, how can I draw you
if you won't hold still?

Yeah, Bonkers. Work with us.
Get the lead out.

Sorry, guys, but this beard is...
tickling me.

Makes me want to...

[sneezing]

[gasping] Lucky I had this ceiling
to break my fall.

That's wonderful, Bonkers.

That's a girl, Marilyn,
but you're making him too cute.

Aaah!

Too cute? Is that possible?

Huh. Toons.

Ta da!

Mm-hmm.

So... what do you think?

I think I need to get that cuticle
trimmed.

What do you think, Daddy?

Oh, honey, I don't know anything
about these toony cartoon--

say... hey, this is really good!

My little girl is an artist here!

Come here. [grunts] But you know pumpkin,

talent like yours shouldn't
be wasted on toons.

You ought to be drawing real stuff.
Clowns on velvet, dogs playing poker,

Elvis!

But, Daddy, I like drawing toons.

Speaking of which, I got some
great new poses for you, Marilyn.

Look.

[playing instrument]

Hey, what's the big idea?

And now, my piece de resistance...
a hideous, bloodsucking monster!

I hate this.

[Bottle] Watch out for the tree. Go left!

Watch out!

Duck!

I mean Pelican. I mean, aah!

[crash]

Keep left. [shouting] Look out for
the truck!

[vehicles honking]

[mumbling]

What? What did you say?

I said, don't worry. I won't drop you.

Oopsie.

[screaming]

[Bottle] Yeow!

[bottle whistling]

Butterfingers! Lucky thing I didn't crack!

Oh, my achin' noggin.

A toon bottle.

[rattling]

It's empty.

[cork pop]

The note!

Haven't you ever read Treasure Island?
Read the note!

"Animator urgently needed.
Come to Flugal Studios immediately."

Flugal Studios?

That's one of the greatest
animation studios of all time!

Yeah. They used to make those old
Beezle and Buzzle cartoons.

And they're looking for an animator?

Do you realize what this means?

Uh... tell her.

It means this could be
Marilyn's big break.

She's a whiz at drawing toons.

Precisely! First, she spends hours
practicing animation drawing.

Then, this note falls out of the sky.

Coincidence? I think not.

Wow! An animator!
That would be the coolest!

But Dad would never let me do it.

Leave that to me.

I know how to soften Lucky up.

Now, where'd everybody go?

-[door slams]
-Great news, Lucky!

So much for softening him up.

-You'll never believe it, Lucky.
-Ow!

Marilyn's got this fantastic,
unbelievable,

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
[grunting]

to go to-- are you ready? Flugal Studios!

Aaah!

Can I go, Daddy? Please?

Honey, I have no idea
where this Flugal place is

and I've gotta tell you

I have a hard time trusting you
with people I don't know,

let alone toons.

No offense.

None taken.

But... I suppose I could
take you on my day off.

How'd that be?

But she's got to go today, Lucky!
Right now, if not sooner!

Oh, really. And why is that?

Because they picked her!

What? You mean she won
a... a contest or something?

A what? Oh, yeah, that's it! Precisely!

She won a contest or something.

A sweepstakes. First prize.

You'll break the kid's heart
if you don't let her collect it.

Well, like I said, I can't take her today.

And there's no way she's going
without an escort.

You do understand, don't you, honey?

I suppose.

[Broderick] Hey, Piquel,
what's the holdup?

Time to hit the streets.
Morning patrol. 10-4. 7-11.

High 5. Jackson 5.

Right with you, Broderick.

I know that bottle's around
here somewhere.

Whoops. Flying too low. Pull up. Pull up!

Aah!

[crash]

Terrible place to put a roof. Terrible.

You must be the one who dropped
the bottle with the note inside.

-You mean... you're the one who found it?
-Uh huh.

Well, come on then.

But Dad said I couldn't go
without an escort.

I wish he knew how much I wanna do this!

Take me. You'll have one.

I can draw us out of any trouble
that'll raise its ugly head.

We'll leave your folks a note.

"Marilyn's gone to Flugal Studios.
I'll take good care of her."

Can we stop all this gab and get moving?

Climb aboard! Climb aboard!

Uh, prepare for takeoff.
And fasten your seat belt.

Place all luggage in the
overhead compartment.

-And away we go!
-[airplane ascending sound]

[Marilyn] Aah!

-Ooh! Oooooh!
-[crash]

Aah!

[Marilyn laughing]

[Pelican laughing] We're lucky.
Not much traffic this time of day.

Look out!

-[horn honk]
-[both screaming]

Oh my goodness! The city has disappeared!

No it hasn't. We're flying upside down!

[screaming]

-[airplane engine sound]
-[both] Aah!

[ Pelican stuttering]
Don't picnic. Don't panic.

I'm a trained pilot, you know.

[both] Whoa!

Oops.

I think I'm going to toss my cookies.

You and me both, kid.
All the lead just rushed to my eraser.

[Lucky] I'll tell you, Broderick,
she is some artist, that daughter of mine.

Yeah, 10-4, 10-4. Way to go, Marilyn.

[chuckles] She is so good,
she won first prize in a contest.

Tell him, Bonk.

[laughing] Lucky, about the contest,

I--I've been meaning to
talk to you about that

because you-you being my partner
and all, you know

and we never keep secrets from one another
or tell even the teensiest, tiniest,

white fib, lie-type false and untruths.

Talk.

Well, the thing is, I [stammering] sort of
made up that one little part.

-No first prize?
-No contest.

[tires screeching]

What do you mean no contest?

Well, it's just that a bottle fell out
of the sky and Marilyn found it,

and Flugal Studios needed an animator,

and since she's so good
at drawing and all--

Flugal Studios? Negative! Negative!
Impossible!

What's impossible?

Couldn't be Flugal Studios.
It's scheduled to be torn down,

terminated, flattened,
demolished, ex-nayed.

-Says who?
-Says the radio transmission

I picked up this morning from
the wrecking crew. Now 10-4, 10-4.

Whoo! Good thing we talked Marilyn
out of going, huh, Lucky?

We?

Attention, 10-4. Incoming transmission.

[Dyl] Lucky, it's Dyl.

I had the precinct connect
me with your car radio.

Is something wrong, honey?

Well, I'm not sure.

Marilyn left a note.

She's gone some place
called Flugal Studios.

-[both] What?
-Sound the siren! 10-4! 10-4!

[siren wailing]

Ha ha ha! There she is... Flugal Studios.

[Pelican] Fortunately for us,
they keep the skylight open.

-[glass breaking]
-[crash]

Unfortunately, we missed the skylight.

Well, ta ta. Catch you on the flip side.

And, if you ever need Pelican Express,
just give a whistle.

But, uh, but--

-[crashing]
-[Pelican muttering]

Did he find the skylight?

No. Just made another new one.

Hello? Anybody home?

-Sure is creepy around here.
-[Beezle and Buzzle buzzing]

We should send a message with that pelican

to tell my parents what I'm doing.

Relax, kid, there's not a thing
to be scared of.

[growling]

Except for that!

[growling]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you might have been
the wrecking crew.

Wait a minute. I know that voice.

That's you, Grumps?

-Scribble? Well, I'll be.
-Long time, no see.

-I haven't seen you since the old days.
-Great to see you.

Sorry for the scare.

That's okay.

I found your bottle with the note inside.

You did? Beezle! Buzzle! Come quick!

We got an animator!

-You don't say.
-He did say.

I knew I heard it somewhere.

There's not a moment to lose.

Let me explain our predicament. You see--

Hey, Grumps, she just got here.

Maybe she'd like a nice, hot bath!

-Or an ice cold ice cream sundae.
-How about a rubber chicken?

-Fellas!
-What's a little girl,

-want with a rubber chicken?
-[Grumps whistling]

This is no time for dilly dally!

Or did you forget about the wrecking crew?

[both nervously] The wrecking crew?

[Flugal] If they'd only listen to reason.

If I could just find an animator.
All I need is a few more days.

Uh oh. I think our time just ran out.

[Bonkers] I'm sure Flugal
Studios is this way, Lucky.

That's what you said an hour ago
and we ended up at the airport.

Look, this time I'm double sure.

We're so close, I can smell it. [sniffing]


I smell it too.
But it's not Flugal Studios.

It's the city dump.

[Lucky] We're so close, I can smell it.

[beeps]

-[Beezle] Take it.
-[Buzzle] I'm not hungry. You can have it.

Uh-uh. You keep it.

[growling]

Give me that honey, you yellow jacketed,
six-legged pests.

[speaking gibberish]

That's where we always get stuck.

Every time.

That's why we need you, Marilyn.
To animate the rest of the movie.

Why do you need an animator at all?

Can't you just take a movie camera
and film your cartoon?

[both laughing]

[both] Kids.

You see, Marilyn, Buzzle and Beezle
cartoons are made the old fashioned way.

The best way... frame by frame.

Thousands of drawings,
maybe even millions.

[Beezle] Maybe even hundreds.

Put them all together

and you've got a cartoon.

[sigh] Oh I don't know. Why don't you
just do it yourself?

Toons can do just about anything, Marilyn.

But it takes a human artist
to enable them to do their thing.

Otherwise we're just art supplies.

Yeah.

Well then, I guess we better get started
before that wrecking crew gets here.

[both] The wrecking crew?

[upbeat music playing]

[sounds of heavy equipment]

[crunch]

Hurry, Marilyn. There's no time to lose.

Scribble, I don't want
to make 'em feel bad,

but I don't think we can't do
this all by ourselves.

I'm getting the same feeling myself, kid.

If only Bonkers and Dad were here to help.

Eh, you're a regular Marco Polo, Bonkers.

[Bonkers] Sorry, Lucky.
I was sure it was this way.

[Lucky] Well, I hope Marilyn's
doing better than we are.

What's that? [distant whirring]

Someone's coming!

-You don't think it's--
-Don't even say it!

The wrecking crew!

-[erratic music]
-[rolling wheels]

-More furniture... whatever you can find.
-[Beezle and Buzzle] Right.

[Beezle] Got to keep out
the wrecking crew.

[Lucky] Whatever you do, don't move.

Don't even breathe.

The slightest shift in weight...

we could be goners.

Okay, Lucky.

Be very, very, very, very still

and look, Lucky, a bluebird.

Maybe it's the bluebird of happiness.

I seriously doubt it.

[chirping]

Hello, little birdie.

No, no, no. Get away. Scat. Go. Go.

[bird chirping]

Oh, see, Lucky? Nothing to worry about.

[both] Aah!

-Push harder!
-[all grunting]

Oh, my. This door sure is a pain to open.

Hinges must need oil.

It's not the wrecking crew!

It's Flugal!

Oh, heh heh heh!

Well, I'll be.

Boss, you came back!

Does this mean they're not
gonna tear down the place?

I'm afraid not, Grumps.

I just came by to say my goodbyes
and clear out a few momentos.

[Flugal sighs]

If only we could've finished that last
Beezle and Buzzle cartoon.

But, Mr. Flugal, the film is almost done!

Oh no it isn't... almost done?

Wh-What-- who are you?

I'm Marilyn, your new animator.

You don't say.

Uh huh and this is Scribble,
the greatest pencil an artist ever had.

Oh shucks, kid.
I'm getting all lead-faced.

Why this is wonderful news!

Uh, but what did you mean when you said
the film was almost done?

Well, um...
we've kind of run out of ideas.

What we need is a big finish!
One big gag to top it all off!

Now everybody put your thinking hats on.

We just need that one great idea.

[Lucky] Hey, wait a minute. Down there.

Bonkers, the Flugal Studio's logo!
We found it!

Gee, Lucky. Great driving.
I knew you could find it.

[sighs] Now if only we can
make like a bird.

[exclaims] Speaking of birds,
look who's back.

It's our little friend, the bluebird.

[chirping]

No, no, no. Keep away! Don't do that!

-[screaming]
-[car creaking]

-[bang]
-[tires screeching]

We still need an ending.

Something silly.

Something spectacular.

Something ridiculous.

[crash]

[siren]

Something like that.

That's our ending!

That's my Dad!

You okay, Daddy?

-[grunting]
-[back cracks]

Are you okay, honey?

I'm fine, Daddy.

[sighs] Good.

Now what in the world are you doing here,
when here is where I told you not to be?

Now your Mother and I were going--

excuse the expression-- bonkers!

But Daddy, you said I
couldn't come without an escort,

but I had an escort... Scribble.

Oh Marilyn, I know you wanted to help
and that's good.

Your Mother and I are proud of you.

But next time, let us in on it.
Hey... we might want to help too.

All right, Daddy.

I guess I got a little carried away,
but I love cartoons!

Yeah, I know.

Must be from your Mother's side I think.

[motors running]

It's the wrecking crew!

[both] The wrecking crew!

[engine roars]

[wood smashing]

[cracking]

Marilyn, you know the ending
we want. Can you draw it?

Sure, I can... a-and Daddy can help too.

Marilyn, what are you talking about?
The building's being demolished.

We got to get out of here!

Please, Daddy?
If we don't finish the cartoon,

it'll be the end of Beezle,
Buzzle and Grumps!

It's that important to you, huh?

Yes. And you said you wanted to help.

[crash]

Okay. Count me in.

[walls crushing]

Don't worry, Lucky,
I'll hold off the wrecking crew.

Stop! In the name of the--

[ow]

law!

Yeah. Well, this is the last of them.

If we can just hold off the
wrecking crew a little longer--

[wrecking ball crushing]

The whole place is about to go!

[crash]

[boom]

[Grumps] Flugal Studio is gone.

[sniffing]

We've got nothing to show for it.

[Flugal] Oh yes we do!

The film is finished!

[wrecking ball clanking]

[Flugal] The film!

It's headed for the river!

Once it falls in,

it's ruined.

If you ever need Pelican Express,
just give a whistle.

[whistles]

[airplane sound overhead]

[crash]

You called?

Follow that film!

[Lucky] Marilyn, be careful!

Hurry!

I'm flappin' as fast as I can.

There it is!

[Flugal] She did it!

Thank you, Pelican. Thank you.

Thank you for using Pelican Express,
well our motto is--

safety first.

[laughing]

[buzzing]

We lost him for good this time.

He'll never find us here.

[low growl]

Nice going, Flugal.

Your new series is the hit of the season.
Ratings are through the roof.

Well, I couldn't have done
it without all your help

and especially your help, Marilyn.

[Grumps] That's for sure.

[Bees] Yeah, right!

[bees laughing]

And thanks to you, Bonkers,

Flugal Studios has a new temporary home.

Yes, sir, this place will suit us fine
til our new studio is built.

[tittering]

[stammering] How long do you think
that'll be exactly?

Oh, it shouldn't take more than six
months, a year, maybe two years tops.

[exclaims] Isn't this great, Lucky?

We'll be like one big, happy family.

[chuckling apprehensively] Yeah!
That's just peachy.

[theme music playing]
