[Ridley] "Heart of the Museum."

Ridley to Eyes Team.

-You call--
-Shh. Dudley, she doesn't mean us.

Oh, right.

According to my map,
the treasure is just up ahead.

-I'm gonna go it alone because…
-[kids] Adventure is my middle name!

Oh, I guess by "up ahead,"

I meant across a really deep dark pit.

[adventurous music playing]

[grunts] I've got this!

[gasps] I found it. The Phoenix Ruby.

I did it! I did it!

I got the Phoenix Ruby.

[cheering, clapping]

What's the clapping for? It's not real.

Gotta support live theater!

Ridley Jones, for your heroic actions

and for single-handedly finding
the fabled Phoenix Ruby,

I award you the Bravery Medal of Bravery

because you were brave.

Nailed it.

Why, thank you.

Ridley, you are truly
the hero of the museum!

-This is so cool!
-Wow!

And that's our show, folks.

Thank you for coming
to see Ridley's Museum Adventure.

I've been your host and your hero,
Ridley "Adventure" Jones!

[kids] Ridley! Ridley! Ridley!

-Let's go, Ridley!
-Ridley!

Wow! It's signed Ridley "Adventure" Jones.

-You're my hero.
-[shutter clicking]

Oh no, I'm not your hero.

I'm everyone's hero!

Hey, watch it. Excuse me. Sorry.

I just counted the ticket sales
for your new show, and it's a smash hit!

I'm glad to hear
the museum is doing so well.

I say we add two more shows
and expand the set.

We'll just have to get rid of… eh, uh…

Oh, that useless exhibit.

Wait, Dudley's… I mean, the dodo exhibit?

-[honks]
-Okay, uh, if it's for the show.

[chuckles] Excellent!

The newfound success
of the museum is all thanks to…

well, my brilliant business skills,

but also you, Ridley.

You're the hero of the museum.

I guess I am.

♪ The museum needs a hero ♪

♪ Who is bold, and brash, and brave ♪

♪ An adventurous explorer ♪

When there's a day to save ♪

♪ A hero who can save us
With her deeds of gallantry ♪

♪ Who on earth could that gutsy hero be? ♪

♪ Someone daring and audacious ♪

♪ Well, the hero we've been seeking
Seems to be ♪

♪ Though the stakes are high and rising
Still in danger's face I laugh ♪

♪ Me ♪

Welcome to your new home, Dudley.

I liked my old home.

I know this new spot
might not have as much foot traffic,

but at least it's close
to the staff bathroom.

[toilet flushing]

[honks]

And the show has been a big success,
and Mr. Peabody is happy.

Since when is that a good thing?

We already moved a bunch
of other exhibits for your show.

What happened to the team?

Before, we saved the museum together.

Look, [chuckles]
I didn't know I'd be so popular…

I mean, the show would be so popular.

But the museum needs it.

And me.

I'm the museum's hero.

[squawking]

-Doesn't sound good.
-The penguins.

Sounds like they need a hero!

Pedro, Mama Penguin, are you okay?

Aye, Ridley! Eyes Team.
Thank goodness you're here.

Something awful is happening.

Wha… What is it?

We're turning to stone.

-What?
-[gasps] Dude, that sounds awful!

[penguin] Not me!

[squawking]

But we don't know why this is happening.
Please, help us, Ridley!

[squawking]

Hyah! Whoo!

[clamoring]

It's raining butterflies!

Leave it to me. I've got this!

[grunts]

Dudley, check your airspace!

Ahh!

Dudley, I said I got it!
You could have dropped it.

Oh, sorry. I just, uh…

[sighs] It's fine.
Just hand it to me. Carefully!

It's like they're all just
normal lifeless museum statues.

They can't move. Can't talk.

Can't stampede!

Being turned into a statue
is my worst nightmare.

Besides the one where I perform
"The Old Soft Shoe" in my birthday suit.

-[whispers] No feathers.
-Ridley, you can save them. Right?

Uh, sure. I mean,
I am the hero of the museum. [chuckles]

[Mama Jones] That's not good.
-Mama. Grandma.

-Ridley!
-This is bad.

What is it? What's bad?

There's something wrong
with the Heart of the Museum.

If we don't fix it soon,
this will happen to the whole museum.

-[gasping] No!
-What?

"The Heart of the Museum"?

[Grandma Jones] These are the journals
that belonged to Great Grandma Jones.

-Fabulous!
-Great Grandma?

Here. The Heart of the Museum.

It's what creates the magic
that brings the museum to life.

But it's losing its power.

If we don't fix it, everyone in the museum
will be frozen forever.

Wait. What?

Just leave it to me, Ridley Jones.

-My middle name is Adventure--
-And the Eyes of the Museum.

Oh, sorry. I thought we were doing
our thing with the "Eyes on three."

I'm gonna find out
what's wrong with the Heart and fix it.

I am the hero of the museum.

Um, okay.

-Whoa!
-A secret vault?

This is where Great Grandma Jones
put the Heart to keep it safe.

She hid the keys
in exhibits all around the museum.

But how do we find them?

A map charted by Great Grandma herself,
of course.

[sighs] Grandma and I need to stay here
and keep the exhibits safe.

You can count on me.

This will be a breeze
for the hero of the museum.

Wait, Ridley!

"Eyes on three," remember?

Oh, uh, actually, I'm gonna go alone.

I can handle it by myself.

-Yeah, cool.
-If you insist.

Are you sure?

Um, okay. I guess you can tag along.
Watch a hero at work.

Now, come on.
Our first stop is the pyramids.

How come our adventures
always have to be in a dark tunnel?

Or a dark cave? Or a dark tunnel
that leads to a dark cave?

Dudley, I said I could handle this alone.
You didn't have to come.

But, I'm… I'm part of the team.

Okay, then stay close to me.
I'll protect you if anything goes down.

Speaking of down, does anyone else feel
like they're kind of sinking?

[screams] Quicksand!

-That happened fast!
-Ah!

Get it? Because it's called quicksand.

-[chuckles]
-Really?

I see solid ground up ahead.

[gasps] And the key!

[team] Whoa! Hot dog!

Everyone, keep going.

Oh! It's no use.

The sand is thicker than my grandma's
molasses-dipped banana puddin'.

We're sinking! Sinking!

[Ismat whimpers]

[gasps] I can save us!

Just need to pull out
my trusty rope and… [strains]

Whoa! It… It broke. What happened?

That's a prop from the show.
You can see the price tag!

Right. No, of course.

Not a problem.
I don't need it. [chuckles] Um…

Give me a sec.

Nope! Can't wait. [grunts]

Got it!

[grunting]

Everyone, grab on! [strains]

Pull them up. I can escape on my own.

[screams]

Ridley! Let me help you!

But I'm the hero.

I'm supposed to help you!

Ridley, this is no time for egos.

-Oh wait!
-[grunting]

-[straining]
-[yells]

[grunts]

-Good thinking!
-Righteous!

Nice work, Princess.

[sighing]

That was a close one.

[chuckles] Sorry, team.

I've been doing more autograph signing
than adventuring lately.

I might be a little rusty.

Peaches to Eyes Team.

Any of y'all think
Ridley hasn't been herself lately?

Yeah! She normally loves
being part of the team.

But now she wants
to do everything herself.

We don't have time
to figure out what's wrong.

We have to find those keys and fast.

-[sighs Ridley] Find anything yet?
-This queen can safely proclaim… nope.

[beeping, beeping fast]

Oh! Houston, we have, oh… nothing.

[gasps]

And nothing out here
except for some cuddly starfish…

[chuckles] …which sounds cute,
but… [grunts]

Whoa!

Oh! Hi, Mrs. S. [chuckles]

Oh, um, the bubbles weren't mine.

Hi, Dudley! And hello there, team!

Thanks for lending us a fin. Any luck?

You asked Mrs. Sanchez to help?

Yes! All hands and, uh, flippers on deck.

A hero isn't supposed to need help.

Hold on one second and…

[blowing]

[team] Yes!

I got it! [grunts]

Ridley Jones, back in action.

Well, technically, Mrs. Sanchez
was back in action. She found it.

Whoa, I'm feeling a little funny.

-[gasps]
-I've seen that look before.

Oh, why does this keep happening?

I can't lose you, Mrs. Sanchez.

Always remember me
for my beautiful singing voice…

[whimpering]

Come on, there's still time
to find the rest of the keys.

Eyes Team, I thank you heartily

for the invitation
to join your adventures!

I don't need you but…

We could sure use
your bodacious knightly skills.

-[snorts] Look!
-There it is!

Another key!

Ridley Jones to the rescue!

[screams]

Don't worry.
A trap like this is my specialty.

After all, I'm Ridley "Adventure" Jo…

-Ridley!
-Are you okay?

Yup. Guess I'm in shape for the show
but not real danger.

Fear not, Lady Ridley.

As a blacksmith, I am no stranger to fire.

Away!

[action music playing]

-Whoo-hoo!
-That was royal!

[sighs]

I mean, I could have gotten it,
but thanks for getting the key, Ida.

'Tis but a knight's honor.

Zounds! My magic, 'tis draining away.

Ida, no!

Lady Ridley, I wish you good fortune.

-Wait!
-Oh no!

[clattering]

Ida, I'm… I'm sorry.

Okay. I know I've been off my game today,
but we only have one more key to go.

We can do this and…

[gasps]

Pierce! Flo!

Oh, you were like family to me. [sniffs]

The Lemursons? Lou!

They're all frozen!

I'm too late.

[Dante] Uh, dudes!

[whimpering]

Sorry to interrupt
the totes dramatic moment,

but something kind of not cool
is happening to us.

Dante? Peaches!

Sorry to let you down, Ri-didley.

Oh, Dante, you didn't let me down.

I let this happen.

Sunshine, don't let this break your heart.

[gasps] This is all my fault.

I was so caught up
in playing the hero of the museum

that I stopped being a real hero.

And now I'm gonna lose
everyone I've ever cared about.

No one likes a pity party more than I do!

Especially when said party is for me,
but there's not a lot of time.

Yup, let's saddle up and move out.
We have one more key to find.

There's still a chance
we can save all our friends.

Time to go!

You can do this without me.
I'm the problem.

Ridley, we're a team.
That means all of us.

And we're already down a few members.
So we need you. Like we always do.

And you need us.

"Better together,"
that's what I always say.

If I can help save my team
and my best friends, I'll do it.

There's only one more key,
and it's in this exhibit!

I've never seen it before.

It's not part of my kingdom.

Never stomped there before.

Then we'll have to be ready for anything.

Wait. There's something
we need to do first.

Eyes on three?

One, two…

-Eyes!
-Eyes!

Let's do this.

Oh, I forgot I was wearing
this goofy show hat.

[sighs] If only I had time
to grab my real hat.

I thought you might need a costume change.

Boy, do I!

Thanks, guys.

I don't wanna be
Ridley "Adventure" Jones anymore.

I just wanna be me, Ridley.

Part of a team. Let's go!

Whoo-hoo!

This place is big!

And that's coming from someone
whose house has 39 bathrooms.

How are we gonna find
a tiny little key in there?

Don't worry.
If we work as a team, we'll find it.

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasps] There it is!

Whoa! [grunts] Unh!

Oh.

[panting]

[grunts] Not a key! Mm, not a key.
Mm, not a key.

Dudley!

Caramel filling! [gulps]

Ah!

[clinks]

Your Royal Highness has your back, Dudley!

[grunts]

[grunts, gasps]

[Ridley] I'm gonna crush this challenge.

-[grunts]
-[thuds]

Got it!

Ridley!

-[Ridley grunts]
-[thudding]

Dudley, are you okay?

In the "I didn't get smooshed" sense,
yes, I'm okay.

In the "I can't move" sense, not so okay,

'cause I can't move!

-No!
-I can't believe it!

-Dudley!
-Dudley, I love you.

I love you too.

And don't worry.

I, I knew I'd go the way
of the dodo someday.

You guys are my best friends
in the whole world,

and I'm losing you.

Ridley, you have to keep moving

because I can't.

[gasps] Oh, Fred,
you're the strongest bison I know.

You're the strongest kid I know.
Well, this is the end of my trail.

Fred, wait, no. I have to tell you--

That you love me? I know.

Keep your eyes on the mission, Princess.

[action music playing]

[gasps] There!

Let's do it together, Ismat.

Yes!

Done.

We got the final key. Let's hurry!

-Yee-haw!
-Get along, little horsies!

Thanks for the ride.

Oh, we'd help you anytime.

Even if it's the last thing we do.

Which I think it will be
'cause we're goin'…

[gasps]

No time to say goodbye.

The box, we have to open it.

We have to fix the heart.

[clattering]

Come on! Come on!

Yes! I got it.

Don't look at them. Look at me.

We've got this.

You're right. Thanks, Ismat.

Wow!

Whoa, the Heart of the Museum!

But it's not broken.

I, I don't know what to fix.

Wait. Look how faint the light is.

Whatever the problem is, you can do this.
You have to do this.

You're right. I don't know
what I would do without you, Ismat.

What should we try next?

Ismat? No.

No, I need more time. I need my friends.

My heart is broken.

[soft music playing]

My heart.

My heart is the museum's heart,

and my heart hasn't been
in the right place.

I've been so busy making myself look good,
I haven't been good to my friends.

[sighs] I'm not the hero of the museum.

You are.

[glowing]

Wait. The light.

I don't understand.

[dramatic music playing]

[laughs]

Ismat!

[laughs]

Ridley!

-Back, y'all!
-[snorts] Oh yeah!

-[Ridely] Peaches!
-Hiya, Sunshine!

-Dante!
-Ridley!

Fred!

Dudley?

Say something, little dude.

Or honk something. Anything.

[honks, gasps] Am I here?

I was afraid to move.

[laughing]

-You goofy dodo!
-You're all right! I'm so glad.

[squawking]

Huzzah? Huzzah!

Ridley! Oh, baby! You did it!

You saved the museum.

You're my hero.

I'm not, Mama.

I didn't save the museum.

Ismat did.

And Fred, Ida, and Peaches,

and Mrs. Sanchez,

Dante, and Dudley.

It was a team effort.

It took me a while, but I finally realized

that the real Heart of the Museum
is my team.

It's all of us.

When we're focused on the right things,
our heart is strong.

That makes you a hero in my book.

Luckily, this museum is full of heroes.

[all] Copy that.

[laughing]

I have never been so happy
for a closing night of a show.

Back home where you belong, the rotunda.

Close to the gift shop,
the cafeteria, and the--

And the people, mummies, animals,

and especially dinosaurs that love you.

Welcome home, Dudley.

The rotunda just wasn't the same
without you.

[inhales] Thanks, everyone.
It's good to be back.

-[Mr. P] And what's this?
-Mr. P's coming!

-Hide!
-Excuse me!

Where are the souvenirs?

We decided to focus
on the mission of this museum,

to educate a new generation of kids

so they can learn from history
and listen to their hearts.

This show is canceled.

You'll regret this, Joneses.

I don't own this museum for love.

I own it for money.

And I'll make that money
one way or another!

Take a bow, Mr. Peabody,

because your time in the spotlight
is finished, and so is mine.

[groans] I knew liking you wasn't
going to last. I'll be back!

[gasps] Look! There she is!

-Ridley "Adventure" Jones?
-My hero!

Hi, my name is just Ridley. Ridley Jones.

And the real heroes of this museum
are our exhibits.

They are the true hearts of the museum.

-So cool!
-I wanna see what's on the second floor!

[grunts]

-[lights turn on]
-Hey! Who turned on the lights?

I was just about to hit the hay!

-Oh, hey, Lonny.
-Hey, Dodo.

[gasping]

[both screaming]

[closing theme music playing]

[boy] No, no. Okay.
