Quickly. We must rebuild before

the monster returns again.

Wise Elder, why does

the Great Destroyer hate us?

My child, no one knows why

the blue and orange giant

has chosen us

for devastation.

All we can do is hope that he does

not darken our skies this day.

Perfect cloudless day? Check.

- Slight breeze? Check.

- [wind whistling]

Wholesome physical activity

with my best bud?

Check and check!

If anyone needs me, I'm goin'

to my Frolicking Fields!

I don't know why Lion-O likes

playing in that field so much.

Yeah, it's like he's never

heard of

[both] Video games!

You know, kids, playing

outdoors in the fresh air

is pretty great, too!

Wow, Tygra, I never really

thought about it that way.

- [announcer] Trashed!

- [giggling]

Oh well, at least Lion-O can't

get into any trouble out there.

Nothing in that field

but grass and sunshine.

Ha-ha!

Go long, Snarf!

A little lower There.

- Perfect!

- [all cheering]

[screaming]

The Great Destroyer has returned

to lay waste to our village!

[laughing]

What's over there?

Beautiful day today-.

Oh! My body!

Hey, where are you guys goin'?

I just made bread.

Oh! My bread and my body!

- [Lion-O laughing]

- Can nothing be done?

Maybe the elder will know.

We cannot hope to

survive another attack!

Is there no way to

stop the giant?

- There is a way

- Oh, cool.

- But no.

- Oh, darn.

The journey is too long

and too perilous.

- Oh.

- It would take a hero.

- [door slams open]

- [man] Then a hero you shall have!

- [crowd murmuring]

- It's Prince Starling!

But we thought he'd disappeared

into the Wasp-lands.

I had.

But I have returned, carrying the

Wasp Queen's stinger as my blade.

Wise Elder, I vow

to defend my village

from the Great Destroyer,

whatever it takes.

Prince Starling, to save us you must

travel across the Raging River,

and through the Forest

of the Suns.

At the roots of The Great World Tree,

you shall find The Fountain of Growth.

- [slurping]

- If you drink of its waters,

perhaps you will gain

the power of the giants.

- [rumbling]

- [all whimpering]

Go quickly now. And beware, for

the road is full of danger.

Danger hasn't met me!

[all] Prince Starling!

He's wonderful

and I love him.

Oh, who's the brave

Young hero ♪

Who journeys without fear-o ♪

No flea, no fly

No t*rd ♪

Can flee, nor fly

Nor run away ♪

At a millimeter tall

He will conquer all ♪

With his teeny tiny

Swordy blade ♪

Prince Starling

Hero of the Micrits ♪

Prince Starling, he is

small But his heart is large ♪

Prince Starling

He'll stop at nothing ♪

Prince Starling His quest

is his only concern ♪

Ha!

It's the Raging River!

I am on the right path.

I gotta get across this thing.

[playing flute]

[booming voice]

Who has summoned me?

Oh great Minnow.

It is I, Prince Starling!

Long ago, I rescued you from the

claws of the Feathered Terror.

I remember that day.

You defeated the terror and

took its name for your own.

I am in your debt.

Take me across the Raging River,

great dragon of the waves,

and I shall consider

your life-debt repaid.

Are you certain this is

what you want, O hero?

There are many dangers

on the far side of the river.

And I do not fear them,

for I am Prince Starling

of the Micrits,

slayer of the t*rd

horde, bearer of the

- Whoa!

- Yeah, yeah, I get it.

You're really cool.

[sighs]

Fare thee well.

[grunting]

[rumbling]

No!

The Great Destroyer

must have learned of my quest.

Race ya down the hill, Snarf!

[laughing]

You'll never

stop me, Destroyer!

Nev Oh.

Oh, that could stop me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[screaming]

[grumbling] When I find the

fountain of the World Tree,

that giant will pay for

Huh? Uh-oh.

Toad soldiers!

[toads slurping]

[grunting]

- Let me go!

- Oh, you'll go, lad,

down to meet the Emperor

Beneath the Earth. [laughing]

Oh no, Toadius.

[muffled speaking]

Ugh! Toads.

Whoa!

[loud growling]

A Micrit? In my kingdom?

Emperor Toadius! I am

on a quest to find

The Micrits banished us Toads

to the land beyond the river!

And now you break

our ancient treaties?

Listen up, you warty fool!

I must save my village from the

Great Destroyer, and you will

I know why you are here!

You want my worms!

[slurping]

Hmm?

No, actually, that is not

Liar! Thief!

You won't have them!

No! I am on a quest

that could save us all

Enough! I cast you now

into the Chasm of Doom!

[belches]

- That doesn't sound [screaming]

- [laughing maniacally]

After all, the Star Beast

grows hungry.

- I love my job.

- Me too.

Now, what have we gotten ourselves

into this time, Sparky?

Hmm. Pretty dark in here.

- Why don't you turn up the light?

- Uh-huh. [straining]

Thanks, Sparky,

I think that

[roaring]

[both screaming]

- Stop!

- Sparky, no!

Uh, what do I do?

What do I do?

[whimpering]

What's that?

The Great Destroyer

has found me even here?

And Tygra said the Sword of Omens

didn't have a pogo stick mode.

What's he know, Snarf?

[screaming] My worms!

This is my chance!

What?

Whoa! Ha-ha!

Catch ya later, Toadius.

[screaming]

[coughs]

[muffled screaming]

[shouting]

- [Lion-O laughing]

- You will not best me this day, Destroyer.

It shouldn't be

much further now,

just, through Through

What? Where, where am I?

It's nothing but

endless desert!

How does the Destroyer

know my every move?

How can I ever make it

to the World Tree like this?

This stinks big time.

[chuckling] I love

my Frolicking Fields!

Those Thunderkittens don't

know what they're missing.

- [wind blowing]

- Huh?

Wh What's this?

This can only mean

The Forest of the Suns!

I was on the right path

all along!

One foot in front

of the other,

and never give up.

That's the Prince Starling way.

Just a little further,

and the Destroyer will

answer to me!

[laughing maniacally]

Finally, the World Tree

and the Fountain of Growth!

Grant me your blessing,

World Tree!

Give me the power to face the

Destroyer and bring him to justice!

[groaning]

[laughing]

Man, this place is great.

Kit and Kat's video games probably

don't smell like flowers.

World-Destroyer!

Your reign of terror

is over!

Uh, I'm sorry, I think

there's been a mistake.

[laughing]

Yes! I finally have

[voice booming] the strength of a giant!

You're not that tall.

[growling] Have at thee!

[both grunting]

[chuckles] You're pretty

quick for a tiny little guy.

Pogo!

Maybe Whoa! We could

Whoa! Talk about this?

[screaming]

[video game beeping]

[announcer] Combo. Trashed!

[WilyKat] Oh, rad!

I literally cannot imagine

anything cooler

or more interesting

than this.

[shouting]

Ah, toots.

Before you meet

your end, giant,

apologize for all the

destruction you've caused.

I have no idea

what you're talking about!

Don't lie to me.

Every morning,

you destroy our village.

You've been following me

on my noble quest,

trying to stop me.

But I eluded you,

and drank of the fountain

at the roots

of the World Tree,

[voice booming]

and now I am the giant!

Again, not that giant.

Just normal-sized.

Wait. Where is your village?

A long and dangerous

journey from here!

Through the Forest of Suns,

across the Raging River

Ah. Is your village,

like uh, really tiny?

It's normal-sized!

You're the giant!

[chuckling]

This does not

look good for you, buddy.

Uh, you made me fall

right onto your village.

We've been fighting

all over it.

Don't be ridiculous.

I've journeyed as far as

an ant can see!

There's no way I could've

- [Micrits screaming]

- What? No!

The village should be

far away.

This is all the Great

Destroyer's fault, not mine!

[voice booming]

Never mine!

I am a hero.

Oh, not another one.

Oh, he's horrible

and I hate him.

No, do not be afraid.

It is me! Ah!

That was

the Destroyer's fault.

Oh! That was

the Destroyer's fault too!

This is all

the Destroyer's doing!

Yes, that's what it is.

I wonder what other things

the Destroyer will do.

[laughing]

The Destroyer's doing this.

Ha-ha! And that's

the Destroyer too!

Look what else

the Destroyer's doing!

The Destroyer's doing

this, too. Destroyer!

[laughing maniacally]

Yikes. What was that about a fountain

at the roots of the World Tree?

Yeah! Smash, smash! Yeah!

The Destroyer!

Look at all the destruction

the Destroyer is causing!

Look at it!

[laughs maniacally]

[screaming]

Look! The orange and blue giant

defeated the new ugly giant!

- [all] Hooray!

- [voice booming] You're welcome.

- Yeah, circle. No, circle!

- [rumbling]

Yeah, there you go.

That's right, get em!

Hey guys. You'll never guess what

happened in my frolicking fields!

Ugh, the frolicking fields

are boring.

- You're boring.

- So boring.

- Okay.

- [rumbling]
