Napoleon (1995) Movie Script

Beneath this towering maple
lives an animal
with the savage soul
of a jungle beast.
I am a fearless warrior.
But unfortunately...
I look like this.
There it goes!
The howl of the wild dogs!
I'm coming, guys!
I'm joining the pack.
I'm gonna get to the jungle,
I just have to
get over this...
Oops! Forgot
it was this high.
They're calling me.
They need me to help hunt.
They've heard about
my incredible strength.
Ooh, whoa!
Out there I'd roam wild.
I'd kill for my food.
I'd... Uh-oh, what's that?
Balloons.
That means
there's gonna be trouble.
Time for my keen survival
instincts to take over.
Whoops!
Uh-oh.
Muffin?
Was that you, Muffin?
Mom, please. I told you,
my name is Napoleon! I'm a conqueror!
I hope she doesn't see
that flower pot.
Oh, no, here they come!
Muffin, come on, boy! Where are you, Muffin?
Muffin, Muffin! Come on, Muffin.
Whoa!
Muffin, dear...
I'm fine!
Hey, candy!
Yeow!
Look at them.
I can run ten times faster than that,
and they know it.
Listen to them.
If I attacked, then they'd really
have something to scream about.
Hey, I got an idea.
Let's throw some dork in the water!
I said dork, not dog!
I hate the water.
You're a cutie, cute little Muffin!
You're a cute little Muffin.
You're so cute.
Hey, kids,
time for birthday cake.
Hey, wait for me!
Hey, hey, what about me?
I can't swim.
Oh, please don't
let me fall in.
Muffin, did you get
your little paws wet?
Little paws?
What more can I expect?
I'm cursed with cute looks.
I'll show them.
How about a little
slobberon this propeller cap?
Next time it spins, a spit storm!
Where are you
going, dear, hmm?
Just trying
to have some fun, Ma.
Hey, look at that!
That's something new for
Napoleon to investigate.
The crowd cheers as
Napoleon enters the basket.
Listen to how they yell!
Muffin! Get out of there
immediately! Immediately!
There's no Muffin in here, only Napoleon!
Come on, Mom,
I'm just playing.
Jump out now!
I said, jump out now!
Look at me, I'm flying!
I'm high in the sky! I'm... Uh-oh.
Muffin, jump down
from there right now!
Oh...
Now he's up too high.
Mom!
Mommy! Should I jump?
No, don't jump!
Don't jump!
The trees will catch you.
Just stay in the basket.
And don't try
anything foolish!
Just sit still,
you'll be all right!
Very cool.
There's a new world
out there
Coming to find me
Everything's waiting
up ahead
Nothing's behind me
If I don't dream
If I don't try
How will I know
How far I'll fly?
There may be
mountain peaks
I'm gonna slide down
There may be rivers
fast and wide
I'm gonna ride down
Unless I dream
Unless I try
How will I know
How far I'll fly?
I'm high-flying
and free
There's the sun
rising for me
There may be cities
beyond the rooftops
Oceans beyond the sea
I'll fly
Up to another sky
No one has traveled so far
Out to a far-away star
Maybe farther
Wow! Let's go back
and do that again!
No, no! Back, back!
Towards the train!
Stupid wind,
you're blowing the wrong way.
This is not good.
This is definitely not good.
I'm heading out
towards the water!
Oh, the only thing I hate
worse than being in the water
is being
this high above it!
Hey, help! There's a puppy up here!
Doesn't anybody find that a little weird?
Come on, balloons,
go down, go down, go down!
Oh, no, stay up, stay up!
I don't like
all this water.
I'm getting seasick
just looking at it.
What's that? Huh?
Help! Help!
Stop! Hey!
Slow down!
No one's ever gonna find me out here.
When did dogs
start migrating?
Hey, I'm talking
to you.
Oh, I didn't see you.
My name is Muff...
I mean, Napoleon.
I'm Birdo. Birdo Lucci.
What are you doing up here?
Trying to get down.
You've gotta help me.
I don't like it up here.
Look, we're coming near land.
Maybe I can jump!
Just get back in the basket, fur-ball.
Okay?
You don't want to be out.
You want to sit down.
Sit! Sit down.
That's a good dog. Bad dog!
No, no, bad dog!
Don't try and get out,
'cause it's just
too far down!
Oh, my goodness!
So how am I gonna get down?
I have an idea.
Will you stop fidgeting? Stop fidgeting!
Stop pecking!
Stop it! I'm still, I'm still, okay?
Here's the idea.
It's gotta be very precisely timed,
as soon as we're over that beach down there.
What are you gonna do?
The basket is traveling
southeast... Ooh!
Hey! What happened?
Where'd you go?
I'm fine. Now, I'll just bring
this thing in for a perfect landing,
just...
Uh-oh.
I know exactly
what I'm doing.
Whoa! Hey, take it easy.
This'll bring you
in for a...
Hey!...nice, soft landing.
Whoa!
Flap your paws, Napoleon!
Flap your paws!
What am I saying? Jump out!
You'll get killed in that...
Oh, no!
Oh, dear!
What have I done?
Oh, my goodness!
That was nice and soft?
I'd hate to see what you
consider a crash landing!
Crash landing or not,
I got you down, didn't I?
Oh, my neck.
That's better.
A little bruised,
but feeling fine.
In fact, feeling
incredibly fine and free!
Oh, and I suppose
I did nothing.
Are you listening to me?
Napoleon!
Oh! Where's that
fluff-ball running off to?
Look at that!
The world I left behind.
So long, city. This is my chance to be free,
to live life without rules,
to hunt and play and
stay up as late as I want.
So long, Mom.
Hey, it's the wild dogs!
Hey, Birdo! Come with me!
We'll find 'em together.
We'll be like two explorers.
I'll barkif I smell them down here,
and you'll chirpif you spot them up there!
I don't chirp, I tweet.
It's an entirely
different sound.
Chirping is annoying
and grating,
but tweeting is
melodic and soothing.
Hello?
Sorry, I'm just so excited.
I'm joining the savage beasts!
Yeah, you look awfully
savage in that red ribbon! Ha!
I'd love to help you,
but I belong out in that forest.
That's where
my flock's headed.
I lost them when
I stopped to help you.
Now,
why don't both of us just get along home?
No! I won't go home
and be a house pet.
Never, never, never!
There's nothing worse
than a puppy in denial.
You won't last a minute
out here in the wild.
You'll be killed
before nightfall!
Tomorrow the vultures will be
pecking off flesh from your bones
and pecking
your eyes out...
You're just
trying to scare me.
I don't have to
scare you,
there'll be plenty of
other animals to do that!
If you think I'll stick
around to watch...
I don't believe you, and I'm not
going back now. I've made up my mind!
Now, where are they?
Where would I be
if I was a wild dog?
It's coming from
over that way!
Back home I'd have
to be in bed by now.
But out here, all the rules are off.
I can stay up all night
if I feel like it.
I can go anywhere I want. This is great.
Hoo, hoo.
It's me, me.
Go back
to your home, puppy.
I don't see a puppy here.
Awful things happen to
pets out here in the wild.
Yeah, sure. Like what?
They learn to kill, and they can't stop.
You're just
trying to scare me.
I've seen it happen.
It happened to a cat.
Oh, what
an untangled web I weave.
Oh, you've come to admire
this fabulous piece of art?
Actually I was wondering if you
knew a good place to sleep out here?
Is my web not beautiful?
I use no knitting needles.
Just my eight little feet.
I think you missed a spot.
Okay, where?
Um, there. Right there.
Get your nose out of there!
You know how long this took me to...
Hey, watch the tail!
Oh, sorry! Yuck! Get this off of me!
Now look what you've done.
You're lucky
you're not a fly.
Finally got that web
out of my nose.
I never saw a tree like that.
It looks like it's got a
tunnel through its trunk.
And it looks like the perfect
place to spend the night.
I even smell some food.
I wonder
if somebody lives here.
Hello!
Is that
a mouse I hear?
Where do they keep their snacks?
Just as I thought.
Huh?
Can't have any mice
crawling around my house.
Hmm. This smells good.
Furry mouse.
Big, yellow mouse.
What's that?
Is it a wild dog?
Hello?
Any wild dogs out there?
Hmm.
Time to rid my house
of the mouse.
Huh? What?
The mouse.
Good thing
I'm not a mouse.
You can't fool me
with that pitiful disguise!
I'll rip it off you!
Whoa! This cat's nuts!
Thinks I'm a mouse!
Oh, no!
Darn ribbon!
I gotta pull hard!
It's okay. I'm safe here.
I think she's gone.
Slash the mousie.
Oh, no!
Whoa, deep water!
Oh, no!
What's the matter? Can't swim?
Listen to me.
I'm not a mouse.
You are a deeply
disturbed animal...
Shut up!
My job is to destroy all
vermin in this house.
Mouse must die.
Now!
Stay back!
I warned you about her.
What's the matter?
Can't swim?
Thank you.
Go home.
That cat won't rest until you're dead.
That cat
is fish food by now.
You're dead, mousie!
Rise and shine, Muffin.
It's a beautiful morning.
Time to get up, Muffin.
Wake up...
I'm up, Mom.
Mommy?
Guess I was dreaming.
I really thought
I was back home.
But I'm not,
and that's that.
So my first day
wasn't so great.
That's all behind me.
I made it through the
first night away from home,
and now I don't have to
worry about that stupid cat.
Oh, no, a river!
I hate the water.
Why does water
scare me so much?
"Why does water
scare me so much?"
"Why does water
scare me so much?"
Hey, stop making fun of me.
"Hey, stop making
fun of me."
I'm just trying to find the wild dogs.
Well, you know what?
They're on the other side...
Oh.
Of the water!
I guess I'm gonna
have to do it.
"Guess
I'm gonna have to do it."
Okay. I can do this.
I'm not gonna let
a little water stop me,
for I am...
Napoleon.
Think he'll make it?
- Are you kidding?
- No way!
Whoa! Oh, cold!
Whoa, look out.
Hmm. This dog's nuts.
I did it!
I did it!
Hey, do you know where
the wild dogs are?
You're headed in the right direction.
Just keep going.
Thanks. What's with those birds back there?
Oh, they just
mimic everything.
Hey, that gives me an idea.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
That's the wrong way!
I want to teach
those birds a lesson.
Oh, here he comes! Hurry.
Okay, come on. Here he comes!
I'm back.
"I'm back!"
I'm a stupid bird.
"I'm a stupid bird." Oh!
Oh, what a nasty little dog!
There. That shut
them up.
And you know what?
I like walking over waterfalls.
Where's the next one?
A wild dog must be ready to
pounceat any suspicious sound.
Like that one!
I'll scare off whatever
vicious beast waits ahead,
no matter how terrifying.
Hmm?
I'll give this thing my warning growl.
Oh, I'm so frightened.
My stomach growls
louder than that.
Yeah, well,
I didn't want to scare you.
Yeah, right. Nice try.
You know, I've got
killer instincts.
Oh, I hate climbing down.
Why are all the good leaves up top?
Time to move on
to the next tree.
That is,
if you can restrain your killer instincts.
Look, buddy,
my bite is a lot worse than my bark.
You're just lucky you're
not whatl like to eat.
You should have seen what
I did to this cat last night.
She must have been 10 feet tall,
a hundred pounds, and I took care of her.
So you better watch out.
Underneath my fur,
my flesh is crawling.
Look, I'm just trying to find
where the wild dogs live.
Do I look like
a wild dog to you?
I don't even
have a tail.
That's it!
That's the sound!
I do not associate with any creatures
that make that dreadful noise.
Look, I could really
use your help.
I can't seem to spot them.
So I thought maybe while
you're up in a tree you could...
Ah! So you finally get around to the truth.
You need me. Can't climb trees, can you?
I can climb anything.
Back home I climbed over a
wall twice as big as that tree.
Then you should have no problem climbing up
and joining me for dinner.
Come on! Here we go! Hut, two!
All right,
I can't do that.
I was just
trying to be tough.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you see
the wild dogs?
Let's see...
No wild dogs
on this leaf.
None over here.
Hey, what's the big idea?
I forgot to mention.
Can't see farther than three feet.
You are the rudest animal
I have ever met.
Well, I may be rude,
but at least I'm not deluded.
I don't need his help.
I don't need anyone's help.
I can do it. Huh?
I can do it all on my own.
I am Napoleon.
A conqueror who learns to fend for himself.
Napoleon!
Is that you down there?
Stand back!
I'm about to make a graceful,
perfect two-point landing!
Well, it's improved, anyway.
Birdo!
Thanks to you,
I can't find my flock anywhere.
Cheer up. I have
a bird joke for you.
What does a 500-pound
parrot say?
"Polly want a cracker now!"
Polly want a cracker?
Oh, hold on...
Oh, that is a scream!
Wait a minute. What?
That is not a bit funny.
That is insulting to birds!
It's just a stereotype.
Calm down!
It was just a joke, Birdo.
This is no
laughing matter.
Now, we've both
lost our homes.
This is my home.
Don't be ridiculous.
You won't last a week out here.
You can't even
fend for yourself.
Well, then, teach me, Birdo. Come on.
Teach you?
What do I look like?
Oh, is this millet? Ah, gravel!
It would take too long for you
to learn how to live out here,
and I don't have time to
teach a new dog old tricks.
I'm a quick learner.
I'll bet it'd be fun.
Fun? Ha!
You know nothing
of living in the wild!
You belong back in your dog house.
No, I won't go back!
Out here, I feel free.
I feel like a conqueror.
At home, they don't even
call me Napoleon.
They call me...
Oh, well. Now,
what is it they call you that's so terrible?
Well, don't tell anyone, okay?
It's our secret.
Back home,
they call me...
Muffin.
Muffin? Ooh, my, my.
Muffin?
Who's that?
Muffin. Hey, stop
making fun of me!
Muffin.
Muffin wants to live outdoors
That's our life,
it isn't yours
Go back where your life began
Go back to your muffin pan
Muffin,
before you get beaten
Muffin, before
you get eaten
Don't listen to them,
Napoleon!
Muffin, you better
go home, go home
Muffin,
you better go home
Muffins like it
dry and warm
Muffins can't survive a storm
Minute that a drizzle comes
Stop it! Muffins turn to soggy crumbs
Muffin, before
you get slaughtered
Muffin, before
you get battered
Muffin, you better
go home, go home
Muffin,
you better go home
What if Muffin
meets a foe?
Inside, he's just
yellow dough
Got no crust, he's got no shell
Muffins don't do vicious well
Muffin, before you get roasted
Stop that!
Muffin, before you get toasted
Muffin, you better
go home, go home
Muffin, you better go home
What if he trips and stumbles?
That's how the muffin crumbles, ha!
Muffin, you better go home
You better go home
Go home
I'll never
go home now.
I never want to
hear that name again.
Oh, no, I thought this
thing was attached to the shore.
Oh!
Why do I always
end up in the water?
Do I look like a fish?
All right. Well, at least
this thing is moving.
I'll just sit tight and wait
till it reaches the other side.
This is going to work out just fine.
Great. Where's the wind
when you need it?
Sure, when I was
in the balloon
it was blowing me
all over the place.
Now, when I could use it...
Well, how far do you expect
to get without a sail or an oar?
Okay, so maybe
I forgot a few details.
Well, you just gonna sit
there like a pup on a log?
Come on, jump off. Swim back.
Uh, I have another
secret for you, Birdo.
I can't swim.
Well, of course
you can swim.
I can't.
Ever hear of the dog paddle?
Yeah, so?
So, you're a dog.
Get in the water and start paddling.
I don't know how.
I can't! I'll drown!
You can do this, Napoleon!
All you need
is a little push!
Hey!
Just pretend
like you're running.
Hey, I'm swimming.
I can swim!
Once again,
the bird gets no credit.
I'm really good at this.
Look, Birdo,
I'm swimming!
Not bad, hmm. Not bad.
Go, pup, go!
I did it!
Birdo, I'm slipping!
I can't get out!
Now, it's easy.
Your front legs are for pulling,
and your back legs are for pushing.
So, push!
I made it!
Of course you did.
Now, if I'm gonna be your teacher,
you have to trust me.
Lesson number one, food.
Worms have very good nutritional value.
Slugs are extremely
juicy and tender,
and these seeds make a
wonderful between-meal snack.
They're high in fiber
and they won't fill you up.
Yuck! This isn't what wild dogs eat!
This isn't what
any dogs eat.
There's something you
might prefer over there.
What's to eat over there?
Oh, it's what you want.
It's what you've been
waiting for.
The food of wild dogs.
Happiness
is hopping
Leaping, never sleeping, never stopping
You want me
to eat those?
You want to eat,
you gotta learn to kill.
Kill those little
hoppy things?
Legs are made
for jumping
Feet are made for thumping
How am I supposed to do that?
With your fangs
and your claws!
Ready to go home now?
No, I'm, uh, just trying to figure out
which one will be the tastiest.
Bunny tails
are cotton
How they got that way
is long forgotten
Go get 'em!
Ouch!
This should teach him a
lesson about living wild.
"Little hoppy things."
Such
primitive speech.
Kill!
We could stop
and worry
Why we need to hurry
But we'd rather scurry
in a furry flurry
We've very happy rabbits,
We're mostly happy rabbits
But even happy rabbits
have self-doubt
Temperaments audacious,
appetites voracious
Homes that aren't
spaciousmake us propagatious
A wild dog must learn to kill
Some warm bunny blood must spill
You are not
a pampered poodle
Turn them into
rabbit strudel
'Cause you won't
get a meal until
You're a wild dog
who's learned to kill
At last,
you're off your leash
Now, turn them
to bunny quiche
Get your hunger
growing hotter
Make them scream
for Beatrix Potter
'Cause you won't
get a meal until
You're a wild dog who's learned to kill!
Hunt, snarl and grunt
Run, don't have fun
Growl, howl, fight, bite
If you want
to eat your fill
Don't play with your food, go kill!
Well,
tonight the wild dog goes to bed hungry!
I'll find some food.
And just how do you
plan to do that?
You expect me to find
you a can of liver chunks
and open it
with my beak?
No, here's my dinner, right over here.
Where? No, that's not
food for wild dogs.
Ouch! That's moss!
Well, it's pretty tasty.
It's unnatural. Dogs don't eat moss.
Reindeer eat moss.
Call me Rudolph. I think it's good.
Ah! Unnatural.
Lesson number two.
You must know how to tell whether an animal
is friendly or dangerous.
And that, for example, is dangerous.
A house pet!
Oh, yeah,
that was dangerous.
Why was she scared?
She thought you were a house pet.
We learned how awful they are.
Hateful.Vicious.
Malicious.
Well, I'm not a house pet,
I'm a wild dog.
What did a house pet
ever do to you?
You see these scratches? They still sting.
Those claws scrapedacross my hands.
I got bit on my back leg.
Who did this to you?
That crazy cat.
Oh, I know her.
You're lucky you only got scratched.
You bet!
Not really,
she bit off my ear.
Less on number three, weather.
If you're gonna
live outside,
you must endure severe,
bitter weather conditions.
It's most... Ha!
Well, near-perfect landing.
Anyway, nature
can be brutal, puppy.
I'll bet those little paws
are killing you.
I do not have
little paws.
And they're just fine.
Of course,
it's so coldl can't really feel them.
Hmm.
Having second thoughts about the wild life?
Absolutely not.
Did you know my
grandfather was a Siberian husky?
Well, I had a friend who was a husky.
Did he teach you
to watch out for ice?
Because it can be
extremely...
Slippery!
That was just a demonstration.
It's hard to smell when
everything's covered with snow,
but I do smell something.
Well, it certainly isn't me.
I wonder what it is.
Can we just
get back to the weather?
Listen.
What is it?
Oh, yes.
I hope you're ready for
blinding snow and freezing fog.
Freezing fog?
It's gonna be a big one.
Napoleon, run!
Napoleon!
Napoleon,
are you all right?
Where are you?
Napoleon? Napoleon!
Oh, no. Oh, please
let him be all right.
A storm? Blinding snow and freezing fog?
It sounded like thunder.
Do you realize
you almost got me killed?
I told you
I smelled something.
Okay, I made a mistake,
I'm not perfect.
I can't be right every time.
Every time?
I'd settle for once!
Where do you think you're going?
Napoleon, come back here!
I am not following youth is time!
That's just fine
with me.
Lesson number four.
Go with your own instincts.
And lesson number five,
don't trust Birdo!
Wait a minute,
I'm picking up something.
What is it?
I smell candy.
I don't see
any kids around.
No, it can't be.
I must be imagining it.
Hey, but it's coming
from over there,
in the tall grass.
But how can that be?
But it's definitely
the smell of candy,
and I'm gonna
get me some.
Oh, no! He's not
going into the sugar cane.
It's not my problem.
He's just gonna get killed in there,
and I'm just gonna
sit here and watch.
No! I can't do that!
Napoleon!
Where did
that little puppy go?
You can have your worms.
I'm going for the candy.
You're in danger
out here.
When the sugar cane
gets dry...
Now, listen,
I'm never wrong about these things.
He's never right, either.
Please.
Hmm, he has candy
where his brains should be.
Well, let him fry.
I should be going back
to my flock, anyway.
Oh...
How can sugar cane
be dangerous?
He probably means
I can get a few cavities.
Well, I'll take my chances.
Stop!
Whoa!
Look at my eyes. Go no further.
Your eyes.
Stay there. Do not move.
Napoleon! Birdo, help!
Not that way! No one listens to a snake.
Boy, it's getting hot.
Uh-oh. I smell smoke!
And where there's smoke, there's...
Napoleon!
Help!
Napoleon!
I hear you, Birdo!
I'm coming!
Napoleon!
You're heading into the fire!
Follow my voice!
I'm coming!
Head in the direction of my voice!
Birdo?
Napoleon! Am I glad to see you!
Sorry I yelled at you before.
I really thought
I lost you back there.
I mean, you really,
really scared the feathers off me!
Finally!
Found the yellow mouse!
Now do you understand that
you're not ready for the wild?
But, Birdo,
I just showed you how tough I am.
I can
handle anything.
I just don't want to
see you get hurt.
I mean, if anything happened to you,
I'd feel responsible.
Napoleon! Run fast!
Run fast!
Must destroy
yellow mouse
and little flying mouse!
Follow me, Napoleon!
Follow me!
Hmm? Hey, is that
my flock down there?
What do you know!
Birdo!
Look, it's all my brothers!
Boy, am I glad
to see you!
Vittorio,
Luchino,
Featherico,
Roberto, Marty.
Hey, Birdo, how you doing?
What's all that noise?
Sounds like Birdo
found his flock.
Boy, what a noisy
bunch of birds!
I should let Birdo
be with his flock.
I've caused him
enough trouble.
Oh, no!
Hey, watch out!
The cat's behind you!
Get out of there!
Run away!
Great! I finally find my flock,
and you scare them away.
Scare them?
I just saved them from that cat!
Napoleon, there is no cat around here.
I am never wrong...
Shut up!
You have to learn to trust my instincts,
Birdo.
Oh, mouse.
That yellow mouse
will die slow!
This kitten's
really lost her mittens.
Birdo!
Birdo!
I'm over here.
Geez, I thought you maybe flew into a rock,
and you were dead!
Aw. You were
worried about me?
Well,
you are my best friend out here,
and I know how bad you are
with landings.
I am great with landings.
Sure, this is how you land.
Whoa! Whoa!
Please!
Oh, please!
That is enough! That's enough!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Stop it! Whoa! Whoa!
I am one of the greatest landersof all time.
Oh, yeah, right.
Birdo!
Watch this!
I'll show you a landing!
This happens to be one of
the more complicated landings
in the history of...
Did you hurt yourself?
Uh... Just caught
a freak tailwind.
Where does this road lead to?
To the shore
where you landed.
Now, this road can be one of the
most dangerous places out here.
I know
all about roads!
Lot of speederson this one,
and it's a lot easier to outrun
a crazed cat than a speeding...
Uh-oh!
Better get out of there!
That lizard's not moving!
Wake up!
Hey!
I think he's sleeping.
I better help him.
You stay right
where you are, puppy.
Hey, hey!
Get out of the road!
Oh, dear, reptilian road kill.
No. I think he's all right.
Let's just be on our way.
But he may need help.
Are you okay?
Is he breathing?
Hey. I'll give him
a little push.
Go away!
Touchy!
This is my stripe!
Oh, please, he's just trying to help.
That's right.
Go away!
I'm sorry for caring.
Aw, come on, now.
Don't be hurt.
Never expect gratitude from
a cold-blooded creature!
Don't listen! Forget them, Napoleon.
Go back home!
I can't, Birdo.
I've gone too far
to give up now.
If I turn back,
I'll never know what
it's really like to be wild.
And I've dreamt about that
my whole life.
Oh, you wouldn't understand.
Oh, and why not?
Because you're a bird and I'm a dog.
It's a dog thing.
There isn't
a dog thing you do
that this bird
didn't teach you.
I know how helpful
you've been, Birdo,
and I'm really,
really grateful,
but I'm a woofer
and you're a tweeter.
I can't leave you
on your own.
You'll never make it.
Of course, I will.
I've had the best teacher
in the whole world.
I have to find my pack,
and you belong with your flock.
I have
to travel
You have to fly
I have the meadows
You have the sky
Up where the clouds are
I glide around
I need to feel
my feet on the ground
Maybe our paths will meet some day
Maybe somewhere
sometime
But I have my rainbows waiting
And I have
my hills to climb
Good-bye, Birdo.
Maybe our paths
will meet some day
Maybe somewhere
sometime
But I have
my rainbows waiting
And he has
his hills to climb
I have my hills
To climb
All right, now,
where would there
be water?
Maybe
that thing knows.
Looks like
a traveling cactus.
Hey, do you know where
I can find some water?
Don't talk to me!
I just
wanted to... Ooh!
Buzz off!
I'm not sharing my water with anyone.
I'd share my water
with you.
And stop looking at me!
Everyone makes fun of the way I look!
Hey, I think
you look sharp!
You see!
Typical!
No.
I mean you look cool.
Anyone who makes fun of you is just jealous.
I mean it.
Wait! Come back.
Excuse me.
What you looking for?
I can't dig
if you're watching me.
I'm a good digger. So what!
It'll be easier if I help.
See? Here's your water.
Oh, thank you.
But now I can't
drink it!
You're touching it
with your dog lips!
Ouch! Ouch!
Ah! Hot sand! Hot!
Gotta find shade.
Must be a tree somewhere.
That's what's
been howling?
That's what
I left home for?
What is that thing?
Were the wild dogsl've been hearing... that?
Excuse me? That howling, is that you?
Or other wild dogs?
What do you mean, this?
What'd you think?
That was you?
Sound like a dog?
I can do others.
Here's an elephant.
You can smell
them peanuts, huh?
Listen to this, a cat.
Please, no cats. And, now...
Stop! Stop!
A cow.
Here!
A 2,000-pound cow!
Moo! Moo!
I am such an idiot.
All this timel've been
chasing after a barking lizard.
There's no wild dogs anywhere.
I've been running
after something
that doesn't even exist.
Now, I've got no home,
no wildlife.
I don't have my mother.
Birdo was right.
I don't have the
instincts to make it out here.
I'm a dumb house pet
that doesn't know a retrieverfrom a reptile.
I don't deserve the name of Napoleon.
Not a crumb like me.
I'm just a Muffin after all.
Storm! Inside!
Hurry! Now!
Hey, a dog? Dead?
Yeah, he's dead.
No, he's not,
but he will beif he
doesn't get out of the rain!
Nobody ever died
from the rain.
You've never been ina desert rainstorm.
Very dangerous.
I'd invite you to my place,
but it would be a little tight.
Hey, move over!
Stop pushing! Make room!
Stop pushing!
I smell a dog!
I hope your father
doesn't bring it home!
Where can I go?
Somewhere there must be a
place big enough for me to fit.
Cold, drafty, and damp.
Uh-oh, my jungle instincts tell me
that there's dangerous animals in here!
Is it Mother?
Is that you,
Mom?
Hello?
No. It's a stranger.
Get out or we'll attack!
You're... You're puppies!
Just turn around slow
and leave,
and no one
will get hurt.
I don't think he's listening.
Okay, buster! On three I pounce!
One, two...
You're in for it! Three!
Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
I'll get him.
Whoa!
You better... Oh!
You better watch out,
or I'll tear you apart!
Ah! Oh! Oh!
Nancy! Watch out,
he's coming at you!
Listen, listen. I won't hurt you.
You're lost puppies, you know, like me.
Mother said not to
let anybody in the cave!
Your mother's gone! Well, that's great!
Don't you wanna play and you know,
stay up late?
I think he's okay, Sid.
Come on, huh?
I promise nothing bad will happen to you
while I'm watching over you.
Come on.
Nothing bad, huh?
So that's a good
kind of flood?
Huh? Flood?
Nancy!
Help! Sid!
Help me!
I can't hold on!
Nancy, can you hear me? Hang on to the rock!
Help! I can't hold on!
Keep talking!
I'll come and get you!
I'm safe. Are you okay?
Yeah. But where's Nancy?
Help!
I can't...
Nope,
I don't hear her.
Help, Sid!
Help me!
Hang on, Nancy!
I'm going to save her.
No, no! I'll go.
Where are you, Nancy? I'm over here!
Which way? Just keep yelling.
I'll follow your voice.
Hurry!
I hear you. Hurry!
Don't let go, Nancy!
I'm over here!
But this rock is slippery!
Keep talking, Nancy!
I hear you!
I hear you, too!
Oh! Uh!
Hurry! Please hurry!
The water's getting higher!
You're going
to be fine, Nancy. Help!
Climb on my back.
I'll get you outta here.
I don't want to!
I'm scared!
You're safe with me.
You said... You said nothing would happen
while you were watching us!
Nancy, climb on my back...
Now!
Okay. Whoa!
Nancy!
Get away! I'm fine here.
You'll be underwater
in a minute.
Get on my back.
I'll fall in!
I won't let you drown,
I promise.
Come on, pretend
I'm a boat.
All aboard!
One, two...
Three!
Okay, here we go.
Sailing up the river!
Don't let go!
I'm just like
a sea captain.
You know that, Nancy?
Hang on, Nancy!
A brave sea captain!
Don't let go of him,
Nancy!
I'm slipping!
Hold on to your boat! Almost at your dock!
My dock? Sure.
Every boat has a dock.
This one's yours.
She's slipping!
Okay.
Let go of me, Nancy,
and grab onto the dock.
It's slippery!
You can do it!
Your front legs are for pulling.
Your back legs are for pushing!
Now, push!
Push!
She did it!
Do this, Nancy.
Get rid of
all the water.
Like this?
Nancy!
Look who's back!
It's a wild dog.
Of course it is!
It's our mother.
I can't believe it.
I've been with the wild dogs all along.
Sid? Nancy?
Are you all right?
Who's this?
Gosh!
How long was I out?
Whole night.
I never got to thank you for saving me.
I'm the one who should be grateful.
How can I thank you for
saving my little darlings?
I wanna stay with you,
be a wild dog.
But what about
your home?
I belong here.
- Oh, can't he stay with us?
- Please, mom?
Please, mom. Please, please.
Of course, he can.
I'm a wild dog. At last!
I knew this was
where I belonged!
This can be his new home
until he sorts things out.
- Yay! Hooray!
- We can play new games!
And do new tricks!
Yay!
I wanna be Napoleon! It's my turn.
You were Napoleon
last time.
- Was not.
- Was too.
I think they're very fond of you.
We've been in here
a long time.
When do we get to howl
and hunt and stuff?
Wake up, Napoleon.
Today's the day.
And it'll be
just the two of us.
I'm right behind you!
Isn't he just the coolest?
He's okay.
Tell me, child,
why did you leave home?
I wanted to go where
there were no rules.
And what did you find?
Well, I found
a lot of rules
about living with other
animals and being on your own.
And what did you
want to do out here?
I wanted to hunt my food and kill it!
And did you
enjoy that?
No. I ate moss instead.
Hmm. Anything else you wanted?
Well, I wanted to stay up
late and have fun all the time.
And did you have fun all the time?
No. Sometimes
it was scary,
and lots of times
I was lonely.
Then why do you want to be out here?
I wanna be a wild dog
so I can be really
brave and fearless.
But you've been that all along.
You couldn't have come this far
without being fearless.
And it was your bravery
that saved Sid and Nancy.
In your heart,
you've been a wild dog all along, Napoleon.
I guess I have.
Is there something more you want?
Well, yes.
Tell me.
I want...
I want to go home.
I miss my mom.
What if I told you
I had a friend who could take you back?
Really?
Come along.
Kang-a-roo
La-roo la-roo
We bound and leap
Whoo!
Kang-a-roo
La-roo la-roo
Watch out! Oh!
While you're asleep
Hey! Stop, stop!
I'm glad you did not see
I nearly hit a tree
'Scuse I.
And if I do,
it's kang-a-roo
Whoa!
La-roo for you
Kang-a-roo
La-roo la-roo
Your mama sings
to her possums
Kang-a-roo
La-roo la-roo
With legs like springs
I think I'm gonna be...
We could keep hopping slow
Or really start to go
And when we do,
it's kang-a-roo la-roo for you
Help! Help!
If on our way I crashl
feel your head would smash
And if I do,
it's kang-a-roo la-roo for you
How do little kangaroos
stand this?
Sorry, possum.
Well, well...
Oh, not him.
My favorite dining companion,
the wild dog himself.
No, I'm Napoleon!
Wild house pet.
Conqueror of the outback,
and the back yard!
I can run fearless
across waterfalls.
"I can run fearless across waterfalls."
Little birds suck!
"Little birds..." Hey!
Now what do I do?
There's gotta be
a way to get back.
There it is!
My home!
How can I get across
the water?
Yes!
There's the answer!
Look at that! Amazing!
It's still there!
I'll just go back
the way I came.
Hello?
Who's out there?
Hello?
Excuse me, but this is my basket.
I came over in it.
It's my basket!
My basket!
It is not!
Now, go on out! Hey! What?
Quit your shoving!
Hey! Quit your shoving!
I'm sorry.
You're a long way from home, aren't you?
My family
came on vacation,
but I want to streak through
the water like a shark!
Stalk my prey
like a tiger!
I am Conan!
Killer penguin!
I am young!
I'm alive!
I want more from life
than tundra.
I'm not ever
gonna go back!
Sounds like you haven't
learned where your home is.
My home is wherever
there's excitement and adventure!
Tough talk
for a puny penguin.
Hey! Watch who
you call puny!
Look...
I was a lot like you.
I thought I had to run away
so I could be a wild beast.
Is this gonna be a long story?
Hey,
just listen, okay?
It all started
at a party in my home...
I learned my lesson, and you will, too.
Now, I'm gonna get into this thing
and... And wait for the tide to come in.
Go ahead.
I don't need the basket.
Conan is never leaving!
What's that?
What? Oh, no!
Oh, no!
It's my mother!
I'm telling you,
he came down here!
Quick, you gotta hide me!
Pengi!
Maybe I can hide behind these rocks.
Pengi!
Oh, no, too late!
Pengi,
come home with us.
I don't need
this aggravation!
What are you, nuts?
You trying to give us alla heart attack,
Pengi?
My name's not Pengi,
it's Conan, and I'm not leaving!
Pengi.
Everyone, just leave me alone!
This is the worst
vacation we've ever taken.
It is not
the worst vacation.
What about Alaska?
Remember Alaska?
The otter gave you a cough?
What about Alaska?
Hey, Pengi, wait up!
No one understands.
Some vacation. Every night was formal night.
A dog!
Just what I need, a dog!
A dog! A dog!
What is this,
a dog?
Get away from me,
you ball of fluff!
You flea hotel!
Would you calm down? Your blood pressure.
Would you calm down? Calm down! Calm down!
Look, guys,
if you can't convince Pengi to go home,
then I will.
He won't listen!
It's like talking to an iceberg!
Pengi,
you're staying with me tonight!
Don't you have
a cousin named Iceberg?
It's Weissberg! Weissberg!
Weissberg! Forget it.
Still think this is where you belong,
huh?
You betcha.
Anyone gets in my way,
I'm gonna give 'emsome of this!
Make 'em beg for mercy!
Hey! I like a good brawl.
Trust me,
you're better off at home.
Go back to where
you belong.
Back to icebergs
and permafrost?
Forget about it!
This is my time to howl.
You're worn out
and tired.
You had your fling
in the wild.
But I'm gonna live!
I'm gonna find my adventure!
Woof! Woof!
Woof! Woof!
That sound.
Could it be?
Hello? Somebody else up here?
She's back.
Pengi!
Anyone for thrills?
Quiet, dummy!
I may come from the cold,
but I'm hot for action.
Gotta save
that dumb bird.
Time to rid my house
of the mouse.
All right, come on.
Let's go hunt down a few.
But I've found one,
an unusual black and white mouse.
Leave the penguin alone!
Well, if it isn't
Muffin mouse.
Die!
There is such a thing
as too much adventure.
Just you and me now, whacko!
Seems unfair,
nine lives against one!
Gotta get her
near the water.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!
Come on!
Bull's eye!
Huh?
You'll pay for that!
Okay.
It's pay day.
Come on!
Come after me!
Running out of lives?
I still have plenty more!
Come, let me slash you.
Slash you with my...
I knew that cat
was over the edge.
Look at that.
Guess she used up the lives
she had left.
What about that penguin?
Hey, Pengi, you down there?
What? Huh?
Oh!
That's it.
No more games!
Games?
Look down, rodent.
What?
There's your
cold, blue death.
No, thanks just the same.
I'm not in the mood for a moonlight swim.
Jump, mousie!
Look, you left your home and gone mad.
I'm a pet dog. I made the same mistake.
Living in the wild has made
you see mice everywhere.
But you wanna be home catching real mice.
But I am at home.
You are insane.
And I don't want you
in my house!
Yo, fraidy cat!
You wanna fight me?
What?
I'll peck your eyes out.
I'll flap your face in!
You're next!
All right.
Tomorrow night, right here.
I'll kick your tail!
It's over for you,
pussy cat!
I'll fix you!
But first, I...
Oh! No, no!
So long, sucker!
I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow night!
I really am a wild dog, when I need to be.
Great job we did
on that cat, huh?
What are you gonna do now
without your basket?
Hey, I'm talking to you!
I don't know, okay?
I'll just have to find a way
to get back to my home.
Get back to my mother.
I miss her.
Hey! What's that? Over there!
I don't see anything.
I'm telling you, down there!
For heaven's sake,
must you bounce like that?
I have a delicate gullet! Napoleon!
It's Birdo!
Whoa! I thought
you might be here.
I'm trying
to find my way home!
Finally came to your senses, eh?
Don't you ever
clip your toenails?
A snappy turtle.
Looks like I wasn't wrong about everything.
No, you were right
all along.
I don't know
how to get back.
So long, Birdo!
Don't forget to visit!
I'll fly over
during migration.
See you around!
What was it? Napoleon?
You're the best bird in the world, Birdo!
And I'm never wrong about these things!
Oh...
I'm gonna miss that puppy.
You wouldn't believe what he's been through.
You know, when he first came out here,
he thought he was a wild beast.
Wild beast!
You mean like me? You?
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Oh, Muffin!
Is that you?
Mom! Mommy! Mom!
Well, come here!
Come here!
Let me put my paws
around you.
Mom! It's me!
I'm back! I'm back!
You won't believe
where I've been!
Come here!
You didn't get hurt, did you?
What happened to you?
Everything happened to me.
Oh! You can't
get over that wall?
Are you kidding?
Piece of cake.
I want you
to promise me
you'll never run away
like that again!
I won't.
And I want you to promise me something.
Anything, darling.
Anything.
I want you to call me Napoleon.
From now on
you're my Napoleon.
Ah. Not a mouse, a dog.
Dog must die!
There's a new world
out there
Coming to find me
Everything's waiting
up ahead
Nothing's behind me
If I don't dream
If I don't try
How will I know
How far I'll fly?
There may be
mountain peaks
I want to slide down
There may be rivers
fast and wide
I wanna ride down
If I don't dream
If I don't try
How will I know
How far I'll fly?
High-flying and free
The sun's rising for me
I see cities
behind the rooftops
Oceans beyond the sea
I'll fly up to another sky
No one has traveled so far
Out to a far-away star
Maybe farther
Out where my life begins
I'm gonna be there
Wonder what gleaming
shining lights
I'm gonna see there
I've got to dream
I've gotta try
I've gotta know
How far I'll fly
There's a new world
out there
Coming to find me
Everything's waiting
up ahead
Nothing's behind me
I've got to dream
I gotta try
I gotta know
How far I'll fly
I gotta know
How far I'll fly
