- [With german accent] attention, canadian crows!
Step away from the corn.
[All gasp] - gasp!

I have been sent from the future to destroy you.
Prepare to be bovinated.
[Whirring]
- Fly, mes amis,fly!
[All yelling]
- Hasta la vista,losers.
- Wow, otis, your new scare-cow works great.
- That's because canadians fear science.
Now we have the rest of the day to just sit back and--
- Mail call!
- Ow.
- Hi, otis. What you get?
- Oh, is that my man girdle?
I had it sent to you so I wouldn't be embarrassed.
[Birds squawking]
- It is not a man girdle.
It's from my old friend eddie.
It says he's coming for a visit.
- Eddie? I love eddie!
Eddie's the best! Who's eddie?
- Well, before I met pip, eddie was my best friend.
We were inseparable...
Until he betrayed me.
- What happened?
- I came up with a thing called pizza gum.
It was a million-dollar idea, and eddie stole it.
- That's a bum rap.
- [Screams]
- [Yells]
- Ow! Don't hurt me!
- I never stole nothing from nobody, see?
Ah, see?
- Hey, it's a fish.
- A walking catfish, to be precise.
Their expanded lung capacity allows them to--
Ah, you don't care.
- Correct. - Sure don't.
- Eddie, you got a lot of nerve,
Showing your face around here.
- Otis, you got it all wrong, see?
I only borrowed your idea for pizza gum, yeah.
I was going to make a cool million
And share the loot with you, honest, see, yeah.
- Well, why didn't you?
- We had a tiny problem with the prototype, yeah.
- Free gum! - Mmm!
- Uh, you might not want to--
- Here; I think this is yours.
- Yeah, there's this. - Thanks.
- Oh, here's your eye.
- That's what happened when we tested the gum, see?
I was disgraced throughout the business community.
But I didn't want otis to catch the heat,
So I took the fall for him, yeah, see, yeah?
- Well, how noble. - How thoughtful.
- You're a stand-up guy.
- Eddie, i--i had no idea.
Tell you what, buddy;
You can stay here as long as you want.
- Say, that's swell.
It'll be just like old times...
Except for all that weight you put on.
[Laughter]
- I guess I have packed on a--
Race you to that tree!

Oh, good times!

How about you, mouse?
Why so quiet? Don't you like me?

Just don't mess with otis. He's my best friend.
- Hmm, we'll see about that, see?
Yeah.
- Well, the fun's not over yet.
Who's up for some sports bloopers?

[All gasp]
- Dude, what is your problem?
- Listen, mug, I'm the only one
Who sits on otis' shoulder around here.
Get me? Now, take that.
- Eddie! - How could you?
- That's not nice. - Bad catfish.
- Eddie, what the cud? That was totally out of line.
- Aw, forget that mouse, otis.
He's a sap, a mug, a two-bit cheese nibbler.
- He is not! - How dare you, sir?
- You're wrong about pip, eddie.
He's the coolest, smartest, funniest cheese nibbler ever.
- Yeah! - That's right.
- We love him. - He's cute.
- I'm sorry, otis.
I thought the little guy
Was going to pellet on your shoulder.
I'll go apologize to him right now, yeah.
And I'll tell him exactly what you just said about him.
- See that you do.
- [Sputtering]
- Yeah, just the mug I wanted to see, see?
Yeah. - You're done, catfish.
Otis is going to toss you out of the barnyard for this.
- Listen, whiskers. Otis is on my side.
He said I was right to kick you off his shoulder.
In fact, he told me to tell you that you're dead to him
Now that I'm back in his life, see?
- What? No way.
Otis would never say that.
- He used those very words. You can ask him yourself, see?
In fact, I dare you. Yeah.
- Otis! Otis!
Otis, is what eddie just said true?
Did you really say those things about me?
- Yes, pip, I did say those things,
And I meant every word of it.
- So that's how it is? Fine!
- Everybody loves each other now.
- What's not to love, you mug? Yeah.
Fish, see? Blow it off. Yeah!
- I can't believe otis said those things.
Well, who cares? I don't need him.
Oh, it hurts so much!
[Dramatic music]
- Oh, we heard the whole thing, mon ami.
The fat cow, he has abandoned you, no?
- The milk of betrayal is bitter, no?
- Leave me alone.
- But, mon ami,we despise the fat cow too.
You join with us, and we can totally get him in trouble
With ze farmer.
- Right, like I'd really hook up
With a bunch of lying, nasty crows.
- Up high, fish guy!
- Too slow, you lousy mug.
[Laughter] - you're the best.
- Oh, you've got soft shoulders, yeah.
- I'm in.
[Crows laughing]
- Now you're talking.
- Tres bien.
- Welcome to the team.
- Whaa, you landed on victory boulevard, see?
Pay up, porky.
- Okay, you got me.
- Hey, guys, has anyone seen pip?
- Oh, i--i just remembered.
Pip said he was headed to the mall
To buy you a "world's best buddy" mug.
- Really? That crazy nut.
He's so thoughtful.
Did he say when he'd be back?
- Here's the thing, see.
Said he was going to visit his cousin manny after.
Said he'd be back in a few days.
Yeah, that's what he said, see?
- Weird, I don't even remember him having a cousin manny.
- Well, turns out he does. Yeah, see?
- Yeah. - See?
- Yeah. - See?
- Okay. - All right.
Say, let's play a party game.
- Oh, that sounds funny, eddie. What's the game?
- It's called marketing brainstorm.
You guys shout out what you like to see in a new plush toy,
And I write the ideas down.
Yeah, fun. Whaa!
- Plush toy, huh?
Let's see.
- Extra hugability.
- Ooh! Propellors, propellors!
- Antibiotics! - Lip gloss, lip gloss!
- Oh, I know; what about a pizza-flavored plush toy?
- Ooh! - Nice.
- I like it.
- Yeah, that's the stuff.
You guys are pretty good.
Now let's talk video games. Whaa!
- Prepare to be bovinated.
Prepare to be bovinated.
Prepare to be--
Pare to be bo...vin...ated.
- It was set on a*t*matic.
Otis and the others are playing poker.
Quick, grab the corn.
- Well done, tiny mouse.
The fat cow will be in big trouble for this,
And you will have your revenge.
- Sounds good to me.
- Oh, oui.
He and the other stupid animals will weep and cry
And never know 'appiness again.
[Laughter]
- Yeah. Weep and cry.
That'll be...great.
And--ah, who am I kidding?
I can't go through with this.
- Ah, good idea, little mouse.
We will celebrate our triumph with fireworks.
- No, stupid.
The mouse has betrayed us.
- Then I spit on you. Poo!
- Ah, that got on me, huh?
- Well, you were in ze way.
I said I was spitting.
- Get lost, crows. - Go away!
- Get out of here! - Losers!
- To ze skies, mes amis!
- You need to leave.
Good work, pip.
How'd you know the crows were here?
- Because I was helping steal the corn.
- Good thinking.
I would have done the exact same--shwa?
- Pip, why would you do that?
- Because otis is a big dope.
He abandoned me for eddie.
He even said I was dead to him.
- I did not!
I said you were the best friend ever.
- That's not what he told me.
- Fellas, sounds like that catfish
Has been doing a mess of lying.
- That slimy bottom-feeder!
He was only using us to get more cool product ideas,
Just like he did with pizza gum.
That catfish is going down.
[Dramatic music]
- You know what would be a hit?
A thing with another thing that goes, "whoo!"
- Good idea, pops.
You're really thinking outside the box, yeah.
[Horn blows]
What's all the ruckus, see?
[Horn blowing]

- Oh, what, this?
It's just a cool little invention we came up with.
We call it the corn car.

Looks stylish and affordable, yeah.
- It's powered by corn, with a rugged eight-cob engine.

I'll go apologize to him right now, yeah.
And I'll tell him exactly what you just said about him.
- See that you do.
- [Sputtering]
- Yeah, just the mug I wanted to see, see?
Yeah. - You're done, catfish.
Otis is going to toss you out of the barnyard for this.
- Listen, whiskers. Otis is on my side.
He said I was right to kick you off his shoulder.
In fact, he told me to tell you that you're dead to him
Now that I'm back in his life, see?
- What? No way.
Otis would never say that.
- He used those very words. You can ask him yourself, see?
In fact, I dare you. Yeah.
- Otis! Otis!
Otis, is what eddie just said true?
Did you really say those things about me?
- Yes, pip, I did say those things,
And I meant every word of it.
- So that's how it is? Fine!
- Everybody loves each other now.
- What's not to love, you mug? Yeah.
Fish, see? Blow it off. Yeah!
- I can't believe otis said those things.
Well, who cares? I don't need him.
Oh, it hurts so much!
[Dramatic music]
- Oh, we heard the whole thing, mon ami.
The fat cow, he has abandoned you, no?
- The milk of betrayal is bitter, no?
- Leave me alone.
- But, mon ami,we despise the fat cow too.
You join with us, and we can totally get him in trouble
With ze farmer.

With a bunch of lying, nasty crows.
- Up high, fish guy!
- Too slow, you lousy mug.

Pay up, porky.
- Okay, you got me.
- Hey, guys, has anyone seen pip?
- Oh, i--i just remembered.
Pip said he was headed to the mall
To buy you a "world's best buddy" mug.
- Really? That crazy nut.
He's so thoughtful.
Did he say when he'd be back?
- Here's the thing, see.
Said he was going to visit his cousin manny after.
Said he'd be back in a few days.
Yeah, that's what he said, see?
- Weird, I don't even remember him having a cousin manny.
- Well, turns out he does. Yeah, see?
- Yeah. - See?
- Yeah. - See?
- Okay. - All right.
Say, let's play a party game.
- Oh, that sounds funny, eddie. What's the game?
- It's called marketing brainstorm.
You guys shout out what you like to see in a new plush toy,
And I write the ideas down.
Yeah, fun. Whaa!
- Plush toy, huh?
Let's see.
- Extra hugability.

Otis and the others are playing poker.
Quick, grab the corn.
- Well done, tiny mouse.
The fat cow will be in big trouble for this,
And you will have your revenge.
- Sounds good to me.
- Oh, oui.
He and the other stupid animals will weep and cry
And never know 'appiness again.
[Laughter]
- Yeah. Weep and cry.
That'll be...great.
And--ah, who am I kidding?
I can't go through with this.
- Ah, good idea, little mouse.
We will celebrate our triumph with fireworks.
- No, stupid.
The mouse has betrayed us.
- Then I spit on you. Poo!
- Ah, that got on me, huh?
- Well, you were in ze way.
I said I was spitting.
- Get lost, crows. - Go away!
- Get out of here! - Losers!
- To ze skies, mes amis!
- You need to leave.
Good work, pip.
How'd you know the crows were here?
- Because I was helping steal the corn.
- Good thinking.
I would have done the exact same--shwa?
- Pip, why would you do that?
- Because otis is a big dope.
He abandoned me for eddie.
He even said I was dead to him.
- I did not!
I said you were the best friend ever.
- That's not what he told me.
- Fellas, sounds like that catfish
Has been doing a mess of lying.
- That slimy bottom-feeder!
He was only using us to get more cool product ideas,
Just like he did with pizza gum.
That catfish is going down.

A thing with another thing that goes, "whoo!"
