NARRATOR:
Who knows what mystical force
is at work right now

transforming the very fabric
of our known universe.

How little we know.

[maniacal laughter]

[rumbling]

Hey, Pearl, I-I gotta go.

Oh, no you don't!

In that much of a hurry
to play hooky, is he?

Well, I'll show him!

Gotta change to Mighty Mouse
and avert catastrophe.

It's my duty to save the planet!

Oh, no you don't,
Mike Mouse!

Last month,
you raced away

from your position
on line ten times.

I kept strict count,

and I've got the charts
to prove it.

[tires squealing]

This time I'm
stopping you.

Oh! Look out
for that--

[tires squealing]
Oh! Whoa!

Hold on. Wait. Pearl.

Help!

But, Pearl, I put in triple
overtime every night

without pay!

That's no excuse!

Mike, hold on.

[tires screeching]

Mike!

Oh, forgive me, Mike.

If I'd known
it would lead to this,

I never would've made an issue
of your absenteeism.

What a great idea for a gag.

MAN'S VOICE:
Eddie, you're fired!

Uh-oh!

[sighs, groans]

[rumbling]

PEARL:
Something terrible
has happened.

And it is only with great regret

that I must make
the following announcement.

Our dear friend
and beloved coworker,

Mike Mouse, will no longer
be punching our time clock.

NARRATOR:
Can it be?

After such a brilliantly long
and illustrious career,

is this really the end?

Yahoo!

[cats cheering]

Yes, I guess it is.

And all of Mouseville must
mourn a single sad fact.

Mighty Mouse is no more.
It can't be.

Mighty Mouse?

What about Mike Mouse?

Uh, yes, you're quite right.

This day is doubly darkened,
indeed.

It is hard to imagine
another calamity befalling

within the same


Runaway train!

The brakes are out!

Oh!

[whistle blowing,
engine chugging]

My alter ego's coworkers
are too distracted by grief

to realize the danger
they're in.

I've got to stop this train!

[whistle blowing,
engine chugging]

Hey, look.

It's Mighty Mouse
and he's alive.

He'll save the day.

And what a day
it is destined to be.

I'll be darned
if I can remember,

These balloon payments are
getting sky-high, dear.

Always double-parking.

[glass shattering]

[gasps]: Oh, no you don't!

A bad luck day is one thing,

but Scrappy's orphanage
is definitely off limits!

[whistle blowing]

Oh, brother.

But wasn't it one train
I wanted to stop?

Oh, no!

♪ ♪

Wa-wait a minute.

Let me get just one
thing straight.

We've been celebrating
the fact

that Mighty Mouse ain't
around to save the
day no more, right?

Uh, yeah.

So he's not gonna pop
in anymore, right?

Uh, yeah.
So he won't be
in here, right?

Uh, yeah.
Uh, just checkin'.

Why?

Ha!

Uh-oh!

[grunts]

[water sprinkling]

That's enough! I've had it!

Everything stops right now!

Right now!

All right, that's better.

Now, what is going on?

Who is doing all this?

It's me.

I'm doing it.

I don't mean to.

It's just that bad luck
follows me around

[crying]: wherever I go.

[sniffling]

Bad luck?

Is that all?

Man, listen to what
you're saying!

Look around.

The world is a
wonderful place.

You just have a
bad attitude.

Now, get that chin up,

stand up straight,
suck in that gut.

[inhaling]

Like this?

Perfect.

Now, wake up, man.

Smell the coffee.

[sniffing]

The world is yours!

Now, go out
and get it!

The world is mine!

The world is mine!

[hiccupping]

MIGHTY MOUSE:
Now, if only I could solve
every disaster so easily.

Gosh, I feel good!

[humming theme song]

NARRATOR:
Wait!

What about Mike Mouse?

What about Pearl?

Oh, my gosh, Pearl!

I forgot!

Yeah, what about me?

My best worker is gone,
and it's all my fault.

[tires squeak]

Hi, Pearl.
Need a lift?

[gasps]
You?

You're alive!

Ooh, I wasted the whole day
crying over you,

and there you were
swimming around and having fun.

B-But, Pearl!

Don't "but" me, Mike Mouse.

Just wait till we
get back to work.

But-But...

Ooh, you'll see.

Ooh, you think you can goof
off all day, but you'll see.

NARRATOR:
On this bright young day,

we find the school children
of Mouseville preparing

for another exciting
field trip.

[exciting chatter and shouting]

Today, the pride of Mouseville
are going

to the Museum
of Natural History

where they will see relics
and artifacts

of the prehistoric mouse past.

Oh, there's one now.

Tell me, sir,
just how many of these trips

have you made over the years?

This is my first week here.

Really? How old are you?

Twenty-two.

Hey, it's Scrappy!

Come on, Scrappy!

Hey!

Wait for me!

You guys!

[all shouting]

Hey, wait
for Scrappy.

Scrappy!

[tires squealing]

Scrappy.

[shouting, chatter
and sing-songy mocking]

Who wants to go
on an old field trip anyway?

All they're gonna see are a lot
of bones and fossils and stuff.

I can see stuff like that
in the cafeteria any day.

[two beeps]

Hey, wow!
Is this bus yours?

Actually, it's a loaner,
but that doesn't matter.

Climb aboard, Scrappy,

and we'll have ourselves
a real field trip.

Gosh, Mighty Mouse,
that sounds great.

Gee, I guess I won't have this
to kick around anymore.

I'm sure glad
you came along, Mighty Mouse.

I missed the bus to the Museum
of Natural History.

Is that where
you wanted to go?

Sure. It sounds
real interesting.

All that ancient,
prehistoric history stuff.

Well, I'll tell
you what, Scrappy.

Let's go to a place that's
even more interesting.

Really? What place is that?

The real prehistoric past.

[bus chugging]

[high-pitched whirring]

Better roll up the
window, Scrappy.

We're headed into
outer space.

Ever been through
time, lad?

Not yet, but how can we,
Mighty Mouse?

Well, it's probably
too complicated

for you to understand, Scrappy,

but by orbiting the
Earth counterclockwise

at subsonic hydro speed,

we can dissimilate
the central particles

of present time.

SCRAPPY:
Keen.

So, how do we do that?

Simple. We put
it in reverse.

[brakes squeaking]

[whistling]

[whirring]

Oh!

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Um...

[rhythmic, boingy chirping]

[chirping continues]

Hey, look out the
window, Scrappy.

You can see the pages
of history go by.

SCRAPPY:
Hey, I read about all these
creatures in my comic books.

Hang on, Scrappy.

We're about to land.

[clinking and clattering]

I've got to get
those brakes checked.

Are you okay, Scrappy?

That was fun.

Will you let me drive
next time?

Welcome to prehistory,
little buddy.

We're right
where we started,

only it's millions
of years ago.

Well, how do you know that?

Take a look
for yourself.

SCRAPPY [reading]:

Yeah!

Oh, boy, I want to get some
ancient relics and artifacts.

I'll show the kids
back in school.

Let me at 'em!

[rumbling]

What? What?

What is it,
Mighty Mouse?

I don't know.

An earthquake maybe, or...

Wait. I know!

[expl*sive rumbling]

Wait.

Where are you going?

I'm going to put a cork
in that volcano.

Boy, some day I want to be
as brave as Mighty Mouse.

[debris whistling]

Not today, though.

[liquid gurgling]

[expl*si*n]

Mighty Mouse?

Oh, no.

I hope nothing's happened
to him.

He owes me money.

I-I better...
I better go look for him.

I wouldn't want
to be stuck out here...

[mutters]
...alone.

NARRATOR:
Is this the end
of Mighty Mouse?

Has our hero been overcome

by this battle
against the forces of nature?

And what will become
of poor little Scrappy?

[grunting]

Poor little Scrappy
has his own problems right now.

Hey, anybody home?

ALL:
No.

Hi. My name is Scrappy.

ALL:
Please don't eat us.

Aw, you guys got it all wrong.

I just want to be friends
with you, that's all.

ALL:
Really?

SCRAPPY:
Why, sure.

Now, what's your names?

Well, my name
is Grock.

He's called Snack,
and this is my sister Grudy.

SCRAPPY:
Pleased to meet you.

Do you guys really live in here?

[growling]

We have to.

I think you met
one of the reasons why.

[teeth chattering]

Yeah, I can see
your point.

Gosh, if only
Mighty Mouse were here.

He'd show those goony cats.

Mighty Mouse?

Who's he?

Oh, he's my hero.

The fastest, strongest,

bravest mouse
in the whole world.

And if he were here right now,
I bet he would...

[growling]

[grunting]

...run like crazy!

NARRATOR:
Oh, who will help
these brave mice?

What has happened to our hero?

Oh, hey,

look what you almost stepped in.

Well, what do you know.

It's a mouse.

Gee, boy,
is he ugly.

Yeah. Mmm!

But I bet he'd be great with
a little pineapple sauce.

Go tell the boys to
start up the wok.

Mmm, mmm, oh!

Yes, sir,
it's gonna be a hot time

in the old griddle tonight.

[laughs]

[whimpering]

[laughing]

[hooting]

[siren blaring]

[panting]

Boy, when-when
things go bad...

[brakes squeaking]

[whirring, electrical sizzling]

Gosh, what do
you think it is?

What did you say?

[shouting]:
I said, what do you...

[quietly]:
...think it is?

I don't know, Scrappy.

I've never seen it before.

What do you think, Grudy?

Well, maybe
it's a transcendental icon

sent here by a race
of extraterrestrial super beings

who are trying
to preserve our existence.

ALL:
Nah.

[yelling]

[teeth chattering]

Hey, what's wrong, guys?

GROCK:
Oh, no.

What is it, more tiger cats?

Worse than that.

It's the most dangerous creature
of them all.

[thunder cracks]

ALL:
A Fleshiosaur.

[thunder crackling]

[grunting]

Yabba dabba yabooee.

[grunting
and groaning]

[laughing]

SCRAPPY:
Mighty Mouse,
where are you?

We need you!

Scrappy? In trouble?

[laughter]

[steam hisses]

Hey, what's going on here?

Why, the main
course is going on.

On the serving
dish, that is.

[laughs]

[high-pitched,
goofy laugh]

[laughter]

[grunting]

[expl*si*n]

[clank]

I think I let him cook
a little too long, boys.

He's really tough.

Always remember, kids--
never leave a fire burning.

Mighty Mouse!

Where are you?!

You see, that's Mighty Mouse.

Kind of
short,
isn't he?

Boy, did I put in
some overtime today.

Well, at least
you won't have to worry

about those giants anymore.

[whining]

Well, Scrappy, what do
you think of the past?

Well, it's a nice place
to visit, but I'll take Kansas.

Bye!
Bye-bye!

See you
around,
dude.

Come back soon!
See you again!

Let's hope we get together.

Bye.
Bye.

Do you think we'll
ever see them again?

Gee, Mighty Mouse,

this has been the best
field trip I've ever been on.

That's great, Scrappy.

Did you learn a
lot about the past?

I sure did.

Good. I'll tell you
what you learned.

Always remember,

those who don't know
about the past

are doomed to repeat it.

Gosh, did I learn that?

[laughs]

You bet you did,

and so did the kids at home.

GIRL:
And so I brought back

this piece
of Peloponnesian cheese

to show you all today.

That's very
nice, dear.

And how about
you, Scrappy?

What do you
have to show us?

Well... Well,
Ms. Graypoint, I...

[barks]

[panting]

[barks]

I don't have anything
to show you,

but this genuine
Barbasaurus egg

from the prehistoric age.
