Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Yaaaah...
[bam!]

[laughs]
[smash!]

Yeaaaah!

Narrator: Luckily, he has some
good friends to help him out.

Broo: [panting]

Narrator: Life would be simple
in the forest except for...

Cyril Sneer!

As the years go by,
things from the past

can take on new meaning.

An old sweater becomes
more comfortable.

Old friends become more special.

But for Cyril Sneer, the most
important thing is,

old things often become
more valuable.

Cedric: Wow!
It's beautiful, Pop!

Cyril: Of course it is!

I paid $500,000 for it.

And just what are you
planning to do

with that electric powder puff!?

Pig 3: Er..I was going
to buff the car, Sir.

Cyril: With that!?

Why don't you just take a
sledgehammer to it!

Don't you understand
what I've got here!?

This is a Clarence Cyclone!

A masterwork of engineering!

It's a piece of automotive art!

There's only three
left in the world!

Pig 3: Ooh!!

Bear: Oww!!

Cedric: Three! Gee Pop,
you should be a shoo-in

to win first prize at
Lady Baden Baden's

antique car show.

Cyril: I'm counting on it!

And the $100,000 first prize
is only the beginning.

I'll enter this baby in antique
car shows around the world!

I stand to make
a fortune on this!

[laughs]

[door bell rings]

Pigs: We'll get it, boss!

[hoofs tapping]



[door bell rings]
Mrs. Pig: Well, I
suppose

I was very lucky my car
broke down where it did.

If you and your friend
hadn't been there to help,

I don't know what I'd have done.

Bert: Aw, it was our pleasure!

And don't worry about your car.

Schaeffer and I will have it
running again in no time.

He and I are what you call,

whizzes in the
mechanical field.

[door bell rings]

[hoofs tapping]

Pig 1: All right! Cool it!
We're coming!

Pig 2: Well,
have you figured out

how the door bell works,

or do you need more practice?

Mrs. Pig: Surprise!

Pigs: Mom!?
Bert: Mom!?

Schaeffer: Look at that engine.

The block's cracked,
the radiator's leaking

and the pistons are hanging out.

Bert: Boy, it's
a wreck, all right.

Schaeffer: I don't see how
Mrs. Pig got it this far.

[pop!]
Ugh?!

Bert: Yeah, she did come
a long way to see her sons.

[laughs]

Boy were those three surprised.

First time I've
seen them speechless.

[laughs]

It was nice.

[slam]

Bert/Schaeffer: Uh, huh, oh!

[clank/crash!]

Mrs. Pig: This house
is even bigger

than I imagined
from your letters.

Oh, you boys have done
so well for yourselves!

Now...

tell me all about
your life here.

It must be so exciting being
important leaders of business!

Cyril: Pigs!
Where are you hiding,

you lazy loin chops?!

Pick up the phone, right now!!

Mrs. Pig: Who in
heaven's name is
that?!

Pig 2: Oh,that's.. ah..
one of our employees.

Yes, Cyril Sneer.

Remember, we wrote
you about him?

I'll, er, heh-heh just
see what he wants now.

Yes? Um hummm.

Yes! Sure! Yes.

Cyril: Now get it done, pronto!

And don't let me
catch you napping!

[slam!]

Pig 2: I want it done pronto!

And don't let me
catch you napping!

[slam]

Sorry about this mom.

We, um, left Cyril in charge
of a big.. uh.. merger!

Pig 1: Yeah! There's millions to
be made in, in merging things.

Mrs. Pig:
I understand perfectly boys.

When you're all done merging,

why not bring Mr. Sneer around?

I'd love to meet him.

Pig 1: Um.. we would, but
we're sending him to, um..

to Moosejaw... right away!

Big conference in Moosejaw.

Pig 3: Merger! Hah!

Some rich, successful
tycoons we are!

Pig 1: Climbing the
ladder of success! Ha!

Pig 2: Bright lights
of industry! Ha!

Pig 1: We can't tell mom
we just work for the boss!!

Mrs. Pig: Oh, yoohoo!

Pig 1: Uhh.
[giggles]

Pig 3: Ohhh, it'll
break her heart

if she finds out we're
dismal failures.

Pig 2: That's not all
that'll get broken,

if the boss finds out
he's working for us now.

Cyril: I've looked everywhere

for my old set of
driving goggles,

and that great leather helmet.

Cedric: I think,
they're in the closet

in the spare bedroom, Pop.

Cyril: I want to look authentic
for this antique car show,

not to mention dashing,

debonair and suave!

Pig 1: W-what do you
want in there, boss?!

Pig 2: [giggles]
We'll get it.

Pig 3: It's no problem.
We'll be happy to get it!

Cyril: You morons don't even
know what I want, yet.

Pig 3: W-w-w-whatever!

Cyril: Are you trying to
hide something from me?

Pigs: Who?? Us??

Cyril: Open that door!!
Pigs: Yes, sir.

Cedric: Here they are, Pop.

Cyril: Out of my way, pigs!

Mrs. Pig: I thought,
I heard voices.

It's just beautiful
on the balcony.

What a lovely view!

And it's all yours,
as far as the eye can see.

I'm so very proud of you.

Pigs: Pheeeew!

[motor running rough]

Schaeffer: Well,
it's running. Barely.

Ralph: Wow! Where'd you
get that old beauty?

Schaeffer: It's Mrs. Pig's.

She's up at the mansion
visiting her boys.

We said we'd fix it up for her.

Ralph: They sure don't
make 'em like this anymore!

What a classic!

Uh, what make is it anyway?

Bert: This? Why, it's a.. a..

Gosh, I don't know.

Ralph: I'll see,
if I can find out.

Bert: Okay, Ralph.

We're going to take
her for a test run.

Schaeffer: By the sound of it,
more like a test lurch.

[bam!]

♪♪

Mrs. Pig: Oh yes,
it was quite a trip!

And then my poor
old car broke down.

But that nice raccoon
and his friend

took care of everything.

You boys don't look so well.

Is something wrong?

You're not working
too hard, are you?

Pig 1: Uh, no..

I think, we might be
coming down with something.

Pig 3: Probably swine flu mom,

there's a lot of
it going around.

Mrs. Pig: Oh my!

Well, just leave it to me.

I've got the very thing.

Cyril: What are you
three doing up there?!

The love scene from
Romeo and Juliet?!

Pig 2: Oh! [laughs]
Ehhh, no, sir.

Pig 1: We're.. um..
cleaning the balcony, sir.

Pig 3: Nothing could be worse
than a dirty balcony, Sir.

Cyril: They should give their
brains a good cleaning.

Pig 3: Uh. He's gone.

Mrs. Pig: What are you boys
doing down there?

Pig 2: Um.. just inspecting our
new imported Italian tiles.

[giggles]

Didn't Cyril do a good job
installing them?

Pig 3: Exquisite.

Maybe he deserves a raise.

Mrs. Pig: That's my boys.

Always thoughtful.

And I thought you
might like these.

They should keep
you nice and warm.

Pig 2: Wow, thanks mom!

Pig 1: Ah, oh, ya, haha, oh ya.

T-th-they're great.

Mrs. Pig: Boys, I
suppose you're wondering

why I arrived like this,

without any warning.

The fact it, I need your help.

Pigs: Anything, mom!

Mr. Pig: I've been trying to
think of an easy way

to tell you this,
but there isn't one.

The house.. our house..

is gone.

There was a
hurricane, and, well,

everything is gone. Everything.

Pigs: Oh, mom!

Mrs. Pig: [blows]

And I, I don't have the
money to rebuild our home,

and I know, that you boys are
rich and successful tycoons,

so, I came to you for help.

You will help, won't you?

Pig 1: Of course we will, mom.

Everything we have is yours!

Pig 2: [sob]
Ya, everything.

Cyril: Listen to
that engine, boys.

Sounds like a million bucks!

This baby'll win first prize

in the antique car
show hands down!

[laughs]

A hundred thousand bucks!

I can almost taste it.

Pigs: Yeah. Just great, boss.

Cyril: What are you three so
down in the mouth about?

You look like you lost the key

to your safety deposit box.

Pig 1: I wish,
it was that simple.

Cyril: Great galloping gossip!

Where did they get that!

Blast!!

Those raccoons are
going to enter it

in the antique car show!

Why else would they have it?

I want them.. stopped!

[tires squeal]

Pig 2: But, boss!
It's just an old wreck.

Cyril: Yeah, well I'm
not taking any chances!

I intend to win
that first prize!

Now get out there
and get me that car!

Pig 1: But, boss, we don't..

Cyril: I don't want to hear any
of your lily-livered excuses.

I'm going for a spin,

and when I get back
to the mansion,

I expect to see that heap
safely stashed in my garage!!!

Pig 2: But that's mom's car!

We can't give it to the boss!

Pig 3: Oh oh!
What do we do?

Pig 1: We can't keep
this up much longer.

We'll have to tell
him the truth!

Pig 3: But we've
never done that before!

Pig 1: There's always a
first time for everything.

The worst part is,

we still haven't
figured out a way

to get the money mom needs.

Things can't get any worse.

Bert: Uh, without
being too humble,

I think we've done a
brilliant job, Schaeffer.

Schaeffer: Not bad,
Bert. Not bad at all.

Well, let's gas it up and
take it back to Mrs. Pig.

Mrs. Pig: [happy humming]
Chocolate brownies.

Just the way the boys like them.

[doorbell rings]
Hmmmm???

Mrs. Pig: Well, hello, Bert.

Bert: Hi, Mrs. Pig.

Well, there it is,
running like a charm,

just like we promised.

Mrs. Pig: Oh, Bert!

Schaeffer! You're wonderful.

It would have cost a
fortune to fix in a garage.

There must be some way
I can repay you?

Bert: [sniffs]

Mrs. Pig: Oh, would you and
Schaeffer care for some

just-made chocolate brownies?

Bert: Ha ha! Would we?!

Mrs. Pig: Coming right up.

Schaeffer: I'll just put
the car in the garage for you.

Bert: Wow! Thanks Mrs. Pig!

Hey, if there are any problems,
just give us a call.

Pig 1: Okay, let's rehearse
this one more time.

Pig 2: W-we couldn't
get the car,

because it belongs
to our mother.

[honk-honk]

Uaaaah!

[screeching/crashing]

Cyril: Well?
Did you get
that car?

Pig 1: Um.. we wanted to talk
to you about that, boss.

Cyril: Fine, fine.

But don't just hang
there like lumps of lard!

Close the doors.

Pig 2: [chuckles] We
had a little difficulty.

Yes, the truth is, boss, uh..

Pig 1: Well, the real truth is..

I men the real truth is..

Cyril: Great work, boys!
Pigs: The car!!!

Ahhhh!!

Ahh!! Squeak!!! Owww!!!

Cyril: I don't know
how you got that wreck

away form the Raccoons so fast.

Pig 3: He! Neither do we.

Cyril: So, how much
did it cost me?

Pig 2: Um, nothing.

Cyril: Well, I couldn't
ask for a better price.

[Laughs]

Remind me to give
you boys a bonus.

Pig 1: Well, seeing as you
brought it up, boss.

Pig 2: Yeah, [giggles]
we were wondering,

if we could have an
advance on our salary.

We need it for..
personal reasons.

Cyril: Sure.
Here's 50 cents.

Enjoy!

Pig 1: We were thinking of
something more substantial.

Like about a 50-year advance.

Cyril: Uh?! See!?
That's what happens

when you try to show a little
kindness to your employees.

They take advantage of you!

Pig 2: Ooh! It's hopeless.

We'll never raise the money

mom needs to rebuild her house.

[cries]

[sobbing]

Ralph: Bert! Schaeffer!

You won't believe what I found!

The car! Mrs. Pig's car.

It's a Harvey Hurricane!

It says here, um, that
there are only two of them

in the world!

Mrs. Pig's car is worth
almost a million dollars!

Bert: Oooo!!!

Cedric: You were right, Pop!

It's a Harvey Hurricane.

It's practically priceless.

Cyril: I knew it, I knew it the
moment I laid eyes on it.

It's a winner!
And I got it for nothing!

With this and my
Clarence Cyclone,

I'll make a fortune
at auto shows!

[laughs]

I want this car in mint
condition for the show!

I don't care where you
get the parts for it,

just get 'em!

Don't just stand there
with your fur growing!

Get to work. Now!

Bert: I'm telling you, Mrs. Pig,

if you enter that
antique car of yours

in Lady Baden-Baden's
antique car show,

you're sure to be a winner!

Schaeffer: Now, let's not get
our hopes up too high.

We've got an awful
lot of work to do,

and very little time to do it.

Mrs. Pig: I can't believe it!

I've had that old car for years!

Schaeffer: Huh?!
Bert: Holy mackerel!

Somebody's been busy.

Mrs. Pig: And I
think I know who.

Oh, those boys of mine!

They're full of surprises.

Bert: [laughs] I can't
argue with you there.

Mrs. Pig: Well Bert,
pull down the rumble seat

and let's take her for a spin!

Cyril: This is fantastic!

I own a Clarence Cyclone

and a Harvey Hurricane.

There's no stopping me now!

[motor hums]

Mrs. Pig: Hi boys!

You did a terrific job!

Cyril: Who in the name
of hubcaps was that??

Pig 1: Uh, uhm.. Bert and
Schaeffer, wasn't it?

Cyril: I know that,
you pea-brained porkers!

Who's the ring leader?

Pig 2: Um, gee..
That would be.. um..

Cyril: Never mind!
I'll find out when I catch her!

Come on!!

Bert: Mrs. Pig your
car is beautiful!

Why, that $100,000 prize money

is as good as yours!

Mrs. Pig: $100,000 !!

Good heavens, you never
said
the prize was that big!

That's a fortune, Bert.

and it certainly
would come in handy.

Bert: Yeah.

That kind of money would
buy a lot of peanut butter!

[giggles] In fact,

it could buy a whole
peanut butter factory!

Cyril: Grand theft auto!!

That's what it is!
Grand theft, auto!!

Pig 1: Boss, maybe you're taking
this a bit too seriously.

Maybe you should
just let them...go?

Cyril: I'll let them
go as soon as

I'm holding them
over a steep cliff!

I hope you pigs have
paid up my hospital insurance!

We've got no brakes!

Pigs: Yahhhh!!!!

Mrs. Pig: You know it's funny,

the boys have told me
so much about him,

but I've never had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. Sneer.

Cyril: Aarrrggghhh!!!
Bert: Huh?

[screeching tires]

Well there he is, right now.

[tires screeching]
[passengers screaming]

Schaeffer: He shouldn't be
driving that fast on this road.

Why, he's out of control!

It looks like he's
lost his brakes!!

Mrs. Pig: And my
sons are with him!!!

Hang on, boys!
We're going for a ride!!!

[tires screeching]

Pigs: Oooh! Oh, so help me!

Pig 3: Mom!!!

It's mom!
Cyril: Mom?!

Pig 3: It's a long story, boss.

Cyril: Give me
the short version.

I don't think we've got long.

Mrs. Pig: Jump boys! Jump!!

Pigs: Uaaah-ugh!

Phew!

demolished,

But I still have my
Harvey Hurricane.

I can still win the contest!

Mrs. Pig: Excuse me,
but that's my car.

Cyril: Your car?

Mrs. Pig: Yes, for years.

Apparently there's been
a small misunderstanding.

Cyril: I'll say there has.

Three small misunderstandings!

Pigs!!!

Lady Baden-Baden: And the
first prize of $100,000

the joint winners!

Mrs. Pig and Cyril Sneer!

Cyril: You know, Suey-Ellen,

this is a very sporting of you.

Mrs. Pig: Oh nonsense, Cyril.

I had no chance of winning
without your help.

After all, half the parts
in the car belong to you,

and half the prize money is all
I need to rebuild my home.

I'm just sorry you lost your car

because of all this.

Cyril: Well, it's
not exactly lost.

I do know, where it is.

Roughly.

[laughs]

Narrator: Fortunately
for Mrs. Pig,

her old car meant new
hope for the future.

For Cyril Sneer,

it meant finding a new friend.

And for the pigs?

Well, some things never change.

Just as a mother's love for
her children never changes,

no matter who they
pretend to be.

Pig 3: Hey, I found a fender!

Pig 1: Great. Only 3,425

more pieces to go
