My word! It looks like you've brought enough to feed an army!

Well, dear, a picnic is sure to attract two things.

Ants and-- Podgy!

(Yawning)

Hello, everybody.

Hello, Podgy.

You're just in time to join us.

We'll be having lunch in a few minutes.

(Laughing)

You're amazing, Podgy.

How do you do it? Food radar?

It's all in the

nose.

(Snoring)

Excellent idea, Podgy.

Ah, I think I'll join you.

(Snorting)

Who? What? Where?

Oh, Rupert.

(Laughing)

Are you all right, Podgy?

Um, never better. Come on, Rupert.

Let's take a turn around the lake.

I always say, there's nothing like

a little fresh air and exercise!

Are you sure that's Podgy?

Why don't you row for a while?

You did say you wanted exercise.

(Snoring)

(Screaming)

Podgy!

(Spluttering)

I needed that!

What are you playing at, Podgy?

Nothing. I just felt like taking a dip!

With all your clothes on?

I forgot to bring my bathing suit.

What's this for?

If you catch me nodding off again,

give me a splash of cold water.

Don't be silly.

I'll row while you take winks.

I don't want forty winks!

I don't even want one wink!

I-I might miss lunch!

Hey!

Here you are, Podgy.

Dear me! (Snoring)

Fast asleep.

And he hasn't had a bite to eat yet.

Definitely not Podgy, then.

This is serious!

(Spluttering)

(Gasping) Rupert!

What do you think you're doing?

He asked me to!

Oh, thank you, Rupert. Thank you!

I knew I could depend on you.

Now, Podgy, what's this all about?

I've never known you to be too tired to eat.

I-I haven't been sleeping very well

for the last few nights, that's all.

So! The Sandman's falling down on the job, is he?

The Sandman?

Yes.

A little elfin chap, about so high.

Every night he makes his rounds

with his bag of sleeping sand.

(Chuckling)

One little sprinkle of sleeping sand,

and it's off to dreamland. Right, Dad?

You mean he can just come right into your room,

and put you to sleep?

Whether you want to or not?

There ought to be a law against this Sandman guy.

I mean, throwing sand at people.

That's dangerous, isn't it?

Well, at least that seems to have woken him up.

(Laughing)

PODGYSnap!

Huh?!

Oof!

You were falling asleep, Rupert.

Have some of my Triple Decker Peppered Pickle Podgy Special

on pumpernickel. It'll give you energy.

I don't want energy. I want to go to sleep.

Not me. And no one's gonna make me, either.

(Laughing)

Why did you invite yourself for a sleepover,

if you don't want to sleep?

Let's do a jigsaw puzzle. Two thousand pieces.

It'll take us till morning to finish it.

What are you looking for?

The-- (Gulping)


The Sandman!

You think I've fooled him? He'll never find me here, right?

I mean, he'll expect me to be in my own bed, won't he?

Go to sleep, Podgy. (Yelling)

No!

Why not?

Every time I do, I have the same terrible nightmare,

over and over again,

filled with all sorts of unimaginable horrors!

You mean, like, werewolves and vampires?

Worse, Rupert. Much worse!

Like what? I don't know!

I always wake up just before the really scary part.

But whatever it is,

I know it's there,

waiting for me to close my eyes.

You've got to help me, Rupert.

Don't let the Sandman get me!

I promise to help you keep the Sandman away,

will you at least let me get some sleep?

No Sandman is gonna get me.

(Snoring)

(Clattering) (Yelling)

An Ambush! Yi! Help!

The Sandman!

Is it really you?

Of course it is!

Who else would be working at such a ridiculous hour?

Sorry about this. My name is Rupert.

This is Podgy.

Oh! I've been looking for you, Podgy Pig!

Oh, no! Get away from me!

Grab him, Rupert!

You've been avoiding sleep all week.

It's not good for you, you know.

I'm not going back there!

Ha! Hey!

My sleeping sand!

I'm free! I'm free!

(Laughing)

He keeps having the same nightmare,

Free! so he's decided he's never going back to sleep.

You can't stay awake forever, Podgy!

The only way to stop your nightmare is to go to sleep,

and see it through to a proper finish.

Never! It's too horrible.

Full of disturbing images,

dredged up from the dark and twisted recesses

of my haunted psyche!

It's only a dream, Podgy.

Ha! Easy for you to say, Rupert!

You've never traveled the tortured path

of Podgy Pig's deepest fears!

Ha-ha. No. Although I'd love to come along if I could.

But two people can't share the same dream.

Well, actually Rupert, there is a way.

You'd both have to come with me to Dreamland.

I have to go back anyway for more sleeping sand,

and you could help Podgy get through his bad dream.

All right, then. Let's go!

All aboard for Dreamland!

♪

ALLGood evening, Sandman!

(Yawning)

RUPERTIt's Wynken, Blynken and Nod!

Sweet dreams, sleepyheads!

They're on their way to Dreamland too.

We'll land on the Isle of Pleasant Dreams.

That's where I get my sleeping sand.

Those are Good Dream bubbles. Care for a closer look?

It's the Professor!

PODGYHis dream doesn't seem to make much sense.

Dreams don't have to. That's why they're so wonderful!

(Chuckling) Pleasant dreams, Professor.

You two will have to go to Nightmare Island.

Those must be Bad Dream bubbles.

That's right.

You'll have to find the one that holds Podgy's nightmare.

Just follow the signs.

I'm off to fill up on sleeping sand.

Good luck!

Whoa!

Let's go!

We're going to face this nightmare of yours,

and get it over with, once and for all.

(Groaning)

(Baaing)

Whoa!

These must be counting sheep!

(Laughing))

Huh?

(Laughing)

Looks like Edward is going flying!

Hmph! Some people get to have good dreams.

But not me! Oh, no!

Chin up, Podgy!

We'll get you a nice one too,

just as soon as you get over your nightmare.

(Sniffing)

(Laughing) Take a sniff, Podgy!


(Sniffing)

(Laughing)

This is the only way to travel!

Hey! Look, Rupert!

Rock-a-bye-babies in the tree-tops!

Look out! Whoa!

It's Bill!

Hey, Bill! Nice outfit!

(Laughing) Look out!

Behind you!

(Yelling)

MANEn garde!

BILLTake that!

That's Bill's idea of a good dream?

(Chuckling) If I know Bill,

he'll defeat them all single-handedly!

A-ha!

What a brilliant dream!

Wait'll I tell Rupert and Podgy

I saved them from an army of evil knights.

(Squeaking)

Ah!

I just remembered, I haven't finished my puzzle!

Come on, Podgy.

It might not be as bad as it looks.

That's what I'm afraid of, Rupert.

It's probably worse!

(Gasping)

Now what?

Looks like there's no way to go but up!

Whoa!

We'll have to go back!

There's no way down.

And, um by the way, Rupert,

we don't have to look for my nightmare anymore.

Why not?

Because it's found me!

(Yelling)

Oof!

No, Podgy!

You've got to stop running from your nightmare!

(Screaming)

Now you've done it!

Prepare to meet horrors beyond your most tortured imaginings.

Jam-sandwich bushes, toffee apple trees,

candy-floss flowers. What's so bad about this?

Mm. Strawberry soda with just a hint of mint!

Oh, sure. It always starts nicely.

Where do we go next?

Um, this way!

On second thought, let's see what's over here!

(Gasping) Podgy!

We're supposed to go through this door, aren't we?

(Laughing nervously)

W-what makes you think that?

It's a very insistent door.

(Opening)

It's a bakery!

Oh, lemon meringue, my favourite.

Why don't you have one?

Yipe!

(Growling)

You see the horror, Rupert?

Ah! Cinnamon buns!

Get away! You're sticky!

Look out! You're gonna get tossed!

Whoa!

Come on out, Podgy, it's only a--

EERIE VOICEPodgy-y-y!

What's that?

I don't know! This is where I always wake up!

Hey!

All right, Podgy.

Time to get to the bottom of this.

Podgy-y-y.

No, it isn't! It's time to wake-up!

(Ringing)

Podgy-y-y!

(Yelling)

SANDMANPodgy, Rupert!

I'm ready to go back. Did you finish your bad dream?

Not exactly. I left an early wake-up call.

(Laughing)

Sandman, look at that!

SANDMANThe dream bubbles are being sucked into Nightmare Volcano!

And look at all the Bad Dream bubbles!

There were just a few before!

I'd better look into this.

Come on, Podgy. He might need our help.

(Groaning)

There you go, being helpful again!

Something must be turning all the good dreams into nightmares!

Come on! We have to save the world

from a very nasty night's sleep.

Oh, great!

As if one nightmare wasn't bad enough.

Now we've got to fight thousands!

Whatever is turning the good dreams to bad,

is inside that bubble!

SANDMANIt's a giant nightmare!


I've never seen one so huge!

(Yelling)

Podgy! This is your nightmare!

You've let it get so big, it's taking over Dreamland!

Well, I've always been a big dreamer.

(Chuckling)

Podgy-y-y!

I can't go in there!

(Yelling)

SANDMANIt's a nightmare machine!

Jump!

(Grunting)

Who or what could have dreamed up

such an infernal device?

(Maniacal laughing)

Podgy!

Yum, yum, yum!

Well, Podgy, you've really got us into a big pickle this time!

Very funny, Rupert.

(Laughing)

Pick a peck of peppered Podgys!

All right, Podgy, it's up to you.

I don't like the sound of this.

You're the one he's after,

so you'll have to lead the pickle away.

Then Sandman and I can put that nightmare machine out of order.

I can't take on the overgrown gherkin with just my bare hands!

Here. If he gets too close, give him a dusting of sleeping sand.

You can do it, Podgy!

It's your chance to face your worst fears, and conquer them.

That's what nightmares are for.

Right! That, and scaring the daylights out of you.

Pickled nightmares for everybody!

(Laughing)

PODGYHey! Tall, green and ugly!

Come and get me, you overgrown cucumber!

Podgy! Yum, yum, yum!

(Screaming) (Laughing)

Podgy pie!

(Screaming)

Hang on, Ru--

Whoa!

Pull!

Whoa!

Phew!

The things one has to do for a good night's sleep.

What? Huh?

Whoa!

Wh-what happened?

A broken dream.

Podgy's pickle dreamed up that machine, and now--

PODGYHelp!

And now it's dreaming of Podgy pie!

Uh-oh.

Podgy! Where are you?

In trouble!

(Laughing) Help!

You have to face your nightmare, Podgy!

Stop running! Use the sand!

(Laughing)

Huh?

All right, pickle!

You asked for it!

Huh?

It worked!

(Laughing)

Anyone for a giant tossed salad?

Um, Podgy.

I don't think your nightmare is finished yet.

It's too huge. That sand was only enough for a short nap.

Huh? You mean, all I've done

is make sure he's well rested?

Ah! Podgy!

Yum, yum, yum!

It's just a dream.

If he can dream it up, he can dream it away.

Podgy! Use your imagination!

Dream up a way to get rid of it!

Well, it's a pickle. I know!

Peppered pickle on...

Pumpernickel!

No!

That's it, Podgy!

We've got him sandwiched!

Keep going!

Lettuce. Mayonnaise. Mustard!

Tomato! (Yelling)

And pepper!

(Laughing)

Lots and lots of pepper!

(Inhaling)

Ah-choo!

Whoa!

You did it, Podgy! The good dreams are free again!

Great. But what about us?

Whoa!

Don't worry.

This is one of the best shortcuts out of Dreamland.

(Yelling)

(Knocking)


MUMRupert! What's this all about?

My goodness!

Are you boys playing rugby in here?

Um, sorry, Mum.

We'll go right to sleep. Won't we, Podgy?

You bet, Rupert.

But first, I want to finish my snack.

I've worked up quite an appetite.

A peppered pickle sandwich before bedtime?

Really, Podgy! Doesn't that give you nightmares?

Uh, maybe I'll save it for breakfast.

Sweet dreams, boys.

Mm. Toffee apples, peppermints,

strawberry soda.

(Snoring)

(Chuckling)

It looks like Podgy is already having one!

Podgy! You're hogging the blankets.
