Night of the Zoopocalypse (2024) Movie Script
1
(ominous music)
(ghostly voice cries)
(alarming music)
(alarming music continues)
(thunder cracks)
(crow caws)
(wolf howls)
(alarming music)
(Gracie grunts)
(Gracie panting)
(beasts growl)
(Gracie grunts)
- Huh?
(beasts roar)
Aagh!
(Gracie panting)
(beasts barking)
(Gracie grunts)
(beasts barking)
(alarming music)
- Get off me, Hank.
- Get your stinkin' feet
outta my face!
- Why don't you get your
stinkin' face outta my feet?
(Maynard whimpers)
(Maynard screams)
(pack grunting, yapping)
(Gracie laughs)
- Got yourselves a
little tangled up there.
Eh, boys?
- Wait a minute.
This is your fault, Gracie.
- Yeah, well.
I did tell ya I didn't wanna
play your little games.
- Games?
(tenebrous music)
(Abigale coughs)
- [Hank] Gracie done
that on purpose.
- Got us all
twisted up and such.
- Y'all done let Gracie
outsmart you again.
(Gracie laughs)
So this is all
just a game to ya?
- Well, yeah.
You did tell the boys to pretend
to be a scary predator
and for me to act
like I was the prey.
Then I got the idea to make
things more interesting
with a new spin on
maneuver 12b, 6, dash, 2-
- Just what we need,
more Gracie ideas.
These ain't games!
These here are goldurn
survival drills.
- Aw, why can't you
just do 'em without me?
- Because we's a pack.
It takes a whole pack,
workin' together,
howlin' together-
(pack howls)
Not now, ya numbskulls! Grrr!
(Abigale coughs)
Can't ya see I'm
making a point here.
It takes a whole
pack to survive.
And in case it slipped
your mind, little missy,
you's a part of that pack.
- Ugh.
All that boring old
pack stuff just seems so
pointless.
- [Pack] Huh?
- Pointless?
You just don't get
it, do you, Gracie?
Sooner or later, something bad
or worse is gonna happen.
It always does.
(Gracie sighs)
- Nothing's gonna happen.
It never does.
We live in a zoo!
- [PA Announcer] Families
with young children.
Don't miss our petting zoo
located in the red barn.
- Exactly!
(Abigale coughs)
We're completely surrounded
by all kinda dangerous
enemy critters.
- Dangerous?
Really? I don't know about that.
(beast roars)
(truck honking)
(beast growls)
- I suppose whatever that is
don't sound dangerous to ya?
Well, mark my words,
miss know-it-all:
Sooner or later, somethin'
bad, or worse, is gonna happen.
Always does.
Outta my way.
Nature's a-callin' and
my canines is a-floatin'.
(reverse alarm beeping)
(brakes squealing)
(brakes hissing)
(door thuds)
(beast growls softly)
- Hm?
(rifle banging)
Hm?
Whoa!
(beast roars)
(rifle clicks)
(dart zipping)
(large wolf whimpering)
- [Hank] Goldarn it, Maynard!
(beast roars)
(tense music)
- Dangerous?
Come on.
(zoo animals calling)
(PA system feedback)
- [PA Announcer] It's
closing time here
at the Colepepper Zoo.
Please make your
way to the exits.
We hope to see you again.
Real soon.
(Gracie sighs)
(zoo animals calling)
- Lizard to toucan,
snake to swans.
(clock ticks)
(bell chiming)
(PA system feedback)
(upbeat music)
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
- Come on.
- It's so cute!
- Let's go, sweetie. Come, come.
(child screams)
Come on, honey! Let's go!
- I said that's
enough, that's enough.
We gotta hurry up. We gotta go.
- Come on!
- No!
- I'm so done with this.
Let's go.
(child groans)
At Colepepper Zoo
A lot of merch for you
- Oh, we gotta go, honey.
- I'd carry you, Jesse Ron,
but you don't want that. Hurry.
To move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
(electric gates buzzing)
(electric gates clank)
(Gracie yawns)
(crickets chirruping)
- Something bad, or
worse, is gonna happen.
Humph, not likely.
Nothin' interesting
ever happens here.
(light music)
(transmission noise)
(garbled voices)
- [Radio Announcer 1] The radio
show is going pretty good.
(garbled voices, laughter)
- [Radio Announcer 2] And now
a message from our sponsor.
(signal warbling)
(radio announcer voice fading)
("The Colepepper
Zoo theme song")
(explosion booms)
(asteroid crackling)
(alarming music)
(Gracie snoring)
(indistinct booming
in the distance)
- Huh?
(explosion booms)
Whoa.
(alarming music)
(asteroid crackling)
(wind whooshing)
(asteroid whistling)
(asteroid whizzing)
(crash booms)
(lamp post clanks)
(lamp post creaks)
(crash roars)
(electricity buzzing)

(little critters snoring)
(eerie music)
(bunny sniffing)
- Oh!
Ah!
(bunny gasps)
(bunny chewing noisily)
Huh?
(tense music)
(bunny gagging)
(bunny groans)
(light music)
(debris rustling)
(footsteps tapping)
(Gracie sniffing)

Hm.
(spooky music)

Aagh! Aagh!

(Gracie groans)
Oh.

(Gracie panting)
Oh!
(Gracie grunts)
(mutant squeaks)
Oh.
(intimidating music)
Oh!
(Gracie grunts)
(window squeaks)
(crickets chirruping)
(Gracie panting)
Gramma Abigale was right.
That definitely
was something bad.
(board creaks)
(Gracie screams)
(Gracie grunts)
Whoa!
Whoa. That was close.
(thunder cracks)
(beast growls)
(Gracie screams)
Evasion Maneuver 7, Delta 15!
(Gracie gibbering)
Oh, no.
(Gracie screams)
Woo!
(mountain lion grunts)
(Gracie grunts)
Uh...
Hi?
(mountain lion roars)
(tense music)
(mountain lion roars)
(dart thwacks)
(mountain lion growls)
(darts thwack)
- Huh?
- Huh?
(mountain lion groans)
(light music)
Ew.
Ha, serves you right, you-!
(dart thwacks)
What?
Oh.
No.
(footsteps thudding)
(medical device beeping)
- [Member 1] Captain?
(team members
chattering indistinctly)
- [Member 2] Get over here!
- [Member 3] Tech-nurse.
- [Member 4] One, two...
- [Member 5] Keep going!
Keep, keep steady.
- [Member 6] How's
your breathing now?
- [Member 3] Here, use this-
- Breathe this oxygen now.
- [Member 7] Oxygen.
- [Member 1] Miss?
- [Gracie] Huh?
(remote control clicks)
(TV playing)
- [Actor 1] You just come in
here like you own the place.
- [Actor 2] Who do
you think you are?
(Gracie groans)
- Huh?
Oh no, no, no, no, no!
(Gracie grunts)
(door clanks)
(Gracie barking, growling)
- Ooh la la!
Young wolf, you are awake!
- Stay away, critter.
My paws are lethal...
Hey, why aren't you in a cage?
- Aah.
Excellent question,
mademoiselle.
But to understand,
you must first witness
the Late Night Movie!
(actress screams)
Like the actors in
these films, I, Xavier,
in my own modest way perform.
Sometimes it is a nagging cough.
(Xavier coughs)
Or pink eye.
(Xavier screams)
Or a broken tail.
The humans, they bring me here,
feed me and leave me
alone for the night.
Aah.
And that is when
the show begins!
Thrillers, dramas,
comedies,
heist films.
From these films I have
studied the techniques
of picking locks.
Et voila!
Cages can no longer
contain Xavier!
- Is that so, Xavier?
(Gracie gasps)
- You!
- Yeah, and thanks to you,
I'm stuck in a cage, again.
- Are you kiddin'?
You're the reason
I'm in this cage.
- You're the one that
got us tangled up.
- [Gracie] And you're
the one who attacked me!
- Attacked?
If I'd attacked...
Agh, forget it.
So, Xavier, I doubt
you can open my cage.
- Prepare to eat your
words, fierce feline!
- What're you doin'?
He's a mountain lion!
- Ah, oui. Un carnivore.
You almost fooled
Xavier, monsieur.
But perhaps I am too
clever for you, hmm?
(Dan growls)
(Gracie growls)
- He would've eaten me if it
weren't for my pack training.
Wait.
The pack! I-I have
to get outta here.
I have to warn the pack.
- Hmm.
Unlikely allies drawn together.
Xavier, the dashing
lock picker, and you...
Um.
- Huh?
Oh. Gracie.
- Gracie, the
slow-witted bodyguard.
Together they struggle
to beat impossible odds.
Hmm, I like it.
- Uh, you mean
you're gonna help me?
A wolf?
- Why not?
- Ahem.
She can't help you
beat impossible odds.
But I can.
- You say this why, monsieur?
- I'm from the wild.
I have the skills to
survive and to escape.
Plus, the zoo key
is right over there,
and I know how to use it.
- Excellente!
Why would Xavier want
to escape the zoo?
- You don't want to escape?
- I have my late night movies!
- [Dan] What about you, wolf?
- I just wanna get
back to my pack.
Warn them about the
one-armed purple pod monster.
(Xavier groaning dramatically)
- Did this purple pod
monster with one arm glow
with a demonic light?
- You saw it too!
- Of course.
In my favorite of all
Late Night Movies.
Horror!
(Xavier cackling excitedly)
Skinny wolf, I suspect you
saw only the first stage.
The chrysalis.
Within is the real danger.
- You mean...
something worse?
- Of course,
whatever is growing inside is
always revealed to be worse.
(thunder cracks)
But never before the
second commercial break.
(thunder cracks)
(reader beeps)
(security guard humming)
(thunder cracks)
(thunder rumbling)
(little critters snoring)
(uneasy music)
(pod squeaks)
(little critters snoring)
(eerie music)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(little critters snoring)
(chick squeaks)
(eerie music)
(mutant chick cackling)
(alpaca screams)
(eerie music)
(mutant alpaca shrieks)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(music stops abruptly)
(eerie music)
(mutant critters squeak)
(thunder cracks)
(crickets chirruping)
(beast howling in the distance)
- Hey, Felix. You hear that?
- I hear you waking me up.
- Oh. I think
something's not right.
- Yes, you thinking.
So cut it out before
you hurt yourself
and let me sleep.
(indistinct animal sounds)
(macaques snoring)
(air vent ticking)
- Huh?
(air vent ticking)
Hmm?
Hmm?
Huh?
Huh?
Whoa!
(mutants gibbering)
(mutant cackling)
Aagh!
- Huh? What?
(macaques scream)
(spooky music)
(mutant cackling)
(macaque hooting)
(macaque screams)
Sneak attack!
(Felix screams)
Stay back you...
you...
whatever you are!
(Felix yells)
(Felix screams)
- I gotcha!
(Fred grunts)
(Felix screams)
(macaque screams)
(spooky music)
We need a plan.
- I have one.
- Great. What is it?
- Every monkey for himself!
- Huh?
(Fred screams)
(Fred groans)
(Felix hooting)
(tense music)
(door rattling)
- How do humans make
it look so easy?
(mutant macaques hooting)
(latch clicking)
(Felix grunts)
Rodent.
- Capybara, you ignorant monkey.
- Hold that door!
It's coming!
It's coming for me!
- No ostriches!
- No! Close it!
Move! I will do it!
- [Ash] It's coming for me!
- Watch the tail!
(Ash panting)
- [Frida] No! No!
Close the door!
No!
- Every time!
(mutant groans)
- Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
- Eh...
you're welcome?
- That was sarcasm.
You and your ugly monkey
friend tried to shut me out!
- He's not my friend.
- Friends with a guinea pig?
- Capybara!
Stop looking at me.
(Frida growls)
(Felix growls)
(Ash growls)
- Hey.
(Felix screams)
- Mountain lion!
- [Ash and Frida] Aagh!
- [Frida] Wolf!
- [Felix] Aagh! Two!
(Ash screams)
- Carnivores!
- Get in front of me!
- They're caged.
Phew.
Unnecessary heart attack.
(Xavier humming)
- Voila!
(tense music)
(Ash and Felix scream)
- Wait, here!
Have a delicious capybara!
- Put me down,
you animal!
- Panic attack!
- Okay, but...
Okay, wait.
- Put me down!
- Just stop.
What's going on out there?
- Monsters
have overrun
the zoo.
- What?
Could this have all started
from the purple pod?
- It has happened before.
- It has?
- In countless films.
Have you seen Invasion
of the Body-?
- Ahem.
Hm.
(wheels rumbling)
(stand clinks)
Oh, come on.
No one else is in a cage.
And naturally, I will abide
by the watering hole rule.
- What's the watering hole rule?
- Wow.
Zoo animals really
don't have a clue.
In the wild,
when there's a common
threat, like dying of thirst,
animals leave each other
alone at watering holes.
This is like that.
So, lemme out.
- Pshh.
- What do I look like to you?
- A bird.
- What else?
- A...
big bird?
- What else?
Go on.
You can say it.
You know you want to.
- A big delicious bird!
(Dan roars)
- Exactly, carnivores
stay in their cages.
Except for the skinny wolf.
And only because the stupid
lemur already let her out.
- All right!
Cut the chatter, animals.
Listen up.
As the most evolved
creature here,
I'm taking charge.
- I don't think so.
(Frida chuckles)
- Capybaras do
not trust monkeys.
- Would you trust a
student of the cinema?
- I thought you were a lemur.
(door banging)
(mutant growls)
- What's that?
- As I was saying,
since I have the
biggest brain, I-
(door banging)
(Felix screams)
- You definitely have
the biggest mouth.
(door banging)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant growls)
- Incroyable.
It has become some
kind of gummy zombie.
A gum-beast!
- Aagh!
- Aagh!
(Gracie growls)
(Gracie grunts)
- I can't hold it alone.
- Your sacrifice is appreciated.
- Seriously?
Whoa.
- Lower animals out of the way.
(tense music)
(Dan gasps)
(mutant Fred roars)
(light music)
- Excusez-moi.
Hmm.
- Oh!
(Dan grunts)
- Ugh.
Huh?
- I know that leg.
Fred?
- Whoa!
(Felix screams)
- Get it off me!
- Aagh!
Huh?
(Frida screams)
(Dan growls)
(Frida screams)
- No, no me toque.
No me toque pata gigante.
(tense music)
(Dan growls)
- Wow.
(rifle clicks)
(dart thwacks)
- Et voila!
Piece of cake.
- Looks clear.
- Okay, on my command-
- Stuff it, fleabag.
- Stop!
- Pardon me, monkey.
- Merci.
- Haven't you heard
of chain of command?
You ignorant animals.
(mutant Fred grunts)
(intimidating music)
- Hmm.
What if...?
(Gracie grunts)
- Ow.
(mutant macaques hooting)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Dan moans)
(light music)
- Hey, stop!
(Dan groans)
This is humiliating. Leave me.
- I have a better idea.
You be my bodyguard.
- Ow!
- Help me get back to my pack
and then I'll give you this...
What did you call it?
Key.
Deal?
- No deal.
(Dan grunts)
Gimme that thing.
(mutants growl)
- All right. So long.
(mutant screeches)
- Grrr. Deal.
- Sorry. What was that?
Hard to hear you over the
monsters gettin' so close.
- Oh, don't push it, wolf.
- Okay, sure.
I'm Gracie, by the way.
What's your name?
- What difference does it make?
Dan.
Can we go now?
- Hmm.
I wonder where the others went.
(restrained music)
(sign humming)
- Something further down
the food chain go first.
You, big rodent!
- Stop calling me rodent!
- But aren't capybaras rodents?
- That's not my point.
- Sh!
- Why is he in the lead?
Are we really going
to be led by someone
with a bird brain for a brain?
- You literally just said
someone else go first.
(toy squeaks)
(group gasps)
(toy squeaks)
(Ash gasps)
(Felix gasps)
- Ay!
(toy squeaks)
(mutant antelope grunts)
(group screams)
- Ah, a convenient plot device.
(toy squeaks)
(mutant roars)
(Ash and Felix scream)
(toy squeaks)
(mutant grunts)
(eerie music)
(Ash screams)
(Frida yells)
- Huh?
- Huh?
(Gracie sniffing)
Huh?
Where'd that come from?
- This is a zoo.
Nothing makes sense here.
(toy squeaks)
(mutant growls)
(mutant shrieks)
(footsteps tapping)
Aagh!
- Aagh!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
Oh!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
- Pod monster!
(Dan and Gracie panting)
(manhole cover clangs)
(Dan grunts)
(crickets chirruping)
Is this the wild?
- What kind of wolf are you?
We're still in the zoo.
(shrubs rustling)
- Hmm?
Aagh!
- Whoa!
(both yell)
Whoa!
- Whoa!
(Gracie gasps)
I'm drownin'! I'm drownin'!
Oh, (chuckles) what do you know?
(crickets chirruping)
(tense music)
(swings squeak)
(playground equipment screeches)
- Listen up, kid.
It's more dangerous out
here than I thought.
So you're gonna have
to do things my way.
- Huh, your way?
- Yeah, you do exactly
what I say when I say it.
No questions asked.
You got it?
(Gracie chuckles)
What's so funny?
- Well, so far, all I've seen is
your way gettin' you
shot in the butt.
- Hey!
That wasn't my fault.
- Twice.
- That wasn't my fault either!
- Whatever you say.
- Oh, you've got a lot of
nerve for a scrawny zoo-born-
(ball pit rumbling)
Hmm.
(tense music)
All right, we gotta
get outta here!
- Hey!
- What?
- You call that body guardin'?
- Oh, yeah.
(Dan grunts)
- You were gonna leave me.
- Well, I didn't, did I?
Whoa!
- Hi.
I'm Poot.
What are you?
I'm a pygmy hippo.
Or am I?
I'm a whale!
Just kidding.
I really am a pygmy hippo.
But hey, if you see my herd,
do not tell them you saw me.
I'm not supposed to
be out after dark.
Oh, hey!
You could tell them
that you saw a whale.
- What do we do with her?
- What do you mean?
- [Gracie] She's just a cub.
She'll never make it on her own.
- Is she a mountain lion cub?
A wolf cub?
- Just a whale.
That's all you saw.
You're tall.
And ugly.
(Dan sighs)
- It's dead weight.
- Yeah, you're right.
But what if we get hungry
before we find the pack?
Could be a good snack!
- Hm.
- Come on, Poot.
- Oh, go with strangers?
Great idea!
- [Frida] What are you doing?
We cannot stay together.
- [Felix] Agreed. So scram.
I found this door first.
- [Ash] No, you
didn't. The lemur did.
- [Felix] Oh, I did so!
You're being so immature!
- [Ash] And I am
in literal outrage.
- [Xavier] Ah, voila!
(group panting)
- I'm in such bad shape.
- Oh, that was close!
Ay, Dios mio!
(Ash and Felix yell)
- Oh, this is not a good place.
This is not a good place.
No, no, no.
- Oh, no.
We've entered the house of...
- They're all...
They're all...
- Toys.
(toys squeak)
They're all toys.
(thunder rumbling)
- Obviously.
What did you think they were?
(restrained music)
(snow globe plays zoo jingle)
- I hate that song.
Hmm.
(Felix screams)
- Ironic.
Xavier has always wanted
to be in the movies.
And now that it is happening,
I wish it was not so.
Oh.
Why did it have to be
a monster movie, huh?
Why not a comedy?
We could laugh.
(Xavier laughs)
Or a musical? We could dance.
(sprightly music)
- Why did we let
him come with us?
- Are you all blind?
Do you not see
what is happening?
- That's just it,
you ridiculous lemur.
We don't.
- Do you?
- Mesdames et Messieurs,
welcome to the zoopocalypse!
(alarming music)
(mutants calling)
(mutant macaques growl)
- [Poot] Are we there yet?
- [Gracie] For the
hundredth time, Poot, no.
I'm starting to feel
like having a snack.
(mutant leopard growls)
(mutant cackling)
- Does your herd know
you're out after dark?
Oh, hey! Can we play a game?
- [Dan] Let's play the
stay very quiet game.
- [Poot] I lose!
Let's play again.
- [Dan] I said, stay very-
- Ha, you lose!
This is a fun game.
Mm-Mm
I'm so super quiet
Mm-Mm
- You lose again, Poot.
- [Poot] Oh, yeah!
- I'm sure the
pack would've used
Camouflage Tactic 9, Charlie 6.
That'd be the obvious strategy.
- Who's Charlie?
What's a strategy?
- Strategies are ways
to deal with enemies.
My Gramma Abigale's
real big on them.
And pack training.
(Dan grunts)
Saved me from you, tough guy.
- Kid, all your pack training
did was get us both caught.
I was just trying
to get out of...
(footsteps tapping
in the distance)
- Gramma Abigale?
Gramma Abigale,
I knew the pack could
handle a few monsters.
- If that's your
grandma, we're too late.
- What? Oh, no.
Gramma Abigale's
always like that.
She's just old.
(mutant wolf groans)
(mutant wolf moans)
(mutant wolf screeches)
Gramma Abigale!
(Gracie yells)
- Gracie, get away from her!
- Gramma!
(alarming music)
- Ooh, tag!
I wanna play!
Uh, maybe later.
- [Dan] No teeth! Lucky break.
- Did you just punch
my gramma in the face?
- Sorry, kid, but your
grandma's a monster.
- You're the monster!
- I thought I was the bodyguard!
- Ugh.
- Huh?
(mutant wolves howl)
(mutant wolves howl)
We gotta go, kid.
- No.
Go without me.
I belong with them.
- No, that won't help anyone.
- Hi! I'm Poot-
- No! No!
No! Let go of me!
Gramma!
(mutant wolves howl)
(thunder cracks)
- There must be a
way out of here.
- Hmm. There is.
(macaque hooting)
(macaque screams)
Ugh, nevermind. There isn't.
- The safest thing to do is
to stay put until sunrise
and the humans return.
- Xavier, what happens next
in the Late Night Movies?
- A good question, Frida.
Often at this point,
the heroes are starving
and resort to eating each other!
(Felix and Ash gasp)
(Frida gasps)
Or, we can eat popcorn!
- Is that food?
- It is a critical
element of the cinema
that Xavier has
always wanted to try.
- Chicos, me first.
Capybaras have low blood sugar.
- Don't be ridiculous.
We go from the top of
the food chain down to...
to the one with
the tiniest brain.
- That does it, monkey!
(uneasy music)
- Savage beast.
(Felix grunts)
- Stop, stop, stop!
We should not fight
during the zoopocalypse!
- No beak!
(Ash laughs)
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Aagh!
(Frida panting)
So, you wanna fight?
Hi-ya!
- The rodent!
- The survivors' long
festering animosities
finally boil over.
A l'attaque!
(crickets chirruping)
- Are we there yet?
- No.
But I think the gate
is somewhere ahead.
- What am I gonna do?
- What are you doing?
- Nothin'.
There's nothin'
left for me to do.
- Oh. Come on, kid.
You, uh...
you owe it to the memory
of your pack to keep going.
- Why?
Now I understand that a wolf
is nothin' without her pack.
- You're a wolf?
I don't think I'm supposed
to talk to wolves.
- Well, suit yourself.
But as promised, I got
you back to your pack.
Now toss over the key
and I'll be on my way.
- And here I thought you
were actually being nice,
but you're just a
cold-hearted snake.
(Poot gasps)
- You're a snake?
I'm never supposed
to talk to snakes.
- Hand over the key.
- Make me!
(group grunts)
(switch clicks)
(light switch clicks on)
(electricity buzzing)
(light switch clicks on)
(eerie music)
- Is this a game?
- Uh-oh!
(mutant macaques hooting)
Huh?
- Huh?
(Poot laughs)
- Look, the wolf and
the mountain lion?
- They have not been
turned into gum-beasts.
- Turn it off!
- Turn it off!
- Turn it off!
- We must set up barricades.
(Frida screams)
- Uh-oh.
(electricity buzzes and bangs)
(eerie music)
(mutant macaque shrieks)
(mutant antelope shrieks)
- Whoa! Whoa!
(mutant macaque screeches)
- Ha, ha, now this
is entertainment!
Wait a minute.
That wolf has a zoo key!
- Felix, quick. Get the door!
- A monkey does not
take orders from a bird.
If you want the door-
(Felix and Ash scream)
- [Xavier and Ash] Felix!
- Felix!
(mutant alpaca bellows)
(Felix grunts)
- Stop telling me what to do.
I'm the smart one around here.
(mutant alpacas shriek)
- All right. This way!
Ah, nope. Okay, this way!
What?
- That way!
(bell rings)
(Gracie panting)
- No, you can't be serious.
(Gracie grunts)
(Poot laughs)
(tense music)
(Dan growls)
(Dan grunts)
(both panting)
- [Poot] Whoa!
- Whew.
Looks like I saved us.
- We're not out
of this yet, kid.
(mutant Fred grunts)
- Huh?
(tense music)
- Take cover!
(mutant Fred roars)
- No!
- Whoa!
Whoa!
- Aagh!
- Wee!
Wee!
(Gracie screams)
Wee!
Yeah!
(mutant Fred roars)
- Whoa!
- This one's for Gramma Abigale.
Surprise maneuver 42b.
Hi-ya!
Uh...
oops.
- You killed it.
Uh...
good job.
(mutant Fred growls)
(tense music)
We gotta get outta here.
(Poot laughs)
- [Poot] Wow!
- Could this night
get any more strange?
- Hmm. This feels like...
Act two!
- What does that mean?
- It means it will
get even stranger.
And the heroes will be betrayed.
(ominous music)
(door creaks)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Poot laughs)
- Aw, thanks.
(mutant Fred grunts)
(mutant Fred grunts)
Uh...
- What?
(mutant Fred roars)
(Gracie shudders)
- Huh?
(mutant Fred roars)
Huh?
- Huh?
- What?
- Huh?
Ugh!
- Yech!
(mutant Fred roars)
(Dan and Gracie scream)
(mutant Fred roars)
- You were right.
Definitely stranger.
How many acts are there?
- There are three acts.
- What happens in the third act?
- The third act is the best.
Everything comes to a head.
Sacrifices made, risks taken,
and in the end, triumph.
Or crushing defeat.
- Sacrifices.
What kind of sacrifices?
I have plans
and believe me,
they don't include sacrifices.
(can thuds)
Anyways, give it to
me straight, Xavier.
What sacrifices?
- Sh.
Felix,
is that you?
(glass shatters)
(toy squeaks)
(mutant whooshing)
(Ash screams)
(Xavier and Ash scream)
(Frida screams)
(mutant kangaroo roars)
(Xavier and Frida scream)
(alarming music)
- A voila!
(mutant kangaroo groans)
(Xavier shudders)
(Frida shudders)
(restrained music)
(footsteps tapping)
(Frida breathing heavily)
(mutant joey screeches)
(Xavier and Ash scream)
(alarming music)
- Whoa!
- Where did it go?
- We have to get outta here.
- But there is nowhere to go.
- Whoa!
(suspenseful music)
(Dan grunts)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Gracie grunts)
- Whoa!
- Gracie!
(Felix laughs)
(Gracie yells)
- Incoming!
(Dan and Gracie scream)
Again!
(mutant Fred screams)
(mutant Fred grunts)
(crickets chirruping)
(Gracie laughs)
- Wow.
- We made it.
- We?
- Yeah.
We.
You've got some
pretty good moves.
You know, for a zoo-born animal.
(mutant growls)
- Is that a zoo-born animal?
(Poot laughs)
(footfalls thudding)
- Huh?
- Huh?
(horrible music)
(Poot chuckles)
(hybrid creature roars)
(hybrid creature roars)
- Whoa!
(Dan gasps)
Hi.
I'm Poot.
- Aagh.
- Gracie!
Run!
(hybrid creature roars)
Aagh.
Whoa! Whoa!
(Dan grunts)
(hybrid creature grunts)
(tense music)
Aagh!
(Dan grunts)
Whoa!
Whoa!
(Dan grunts)
- Dan!
That was amazin'.
- Rrr...
- What? What are you sayin'?
- Rrr...
Run!
- Oh, Dan.
Not you!
One more game, Poot.
- I'm a whale!
(mutant Dan growls)
- Dan.
It's me.
Gracie.
(skylight creaks)
(skylight cracking)
(Gracie screams)
(Gracie grunts)
- [Radio Announcer 1] Let's
talk about the weather.
- [Radio Announcer 2] Well,
after tonight's thunderstorms,
it's going to be a
beautiful sunny day tomorrow
and we can expect
much of the same
over the next couple of days.
You might want to do some
of those outdoor activities
that you've been saving up for.
Vancouver, 16.
Calgary, 19 with a high of 22.
Edmonton, 17 with a high of 19.
The situation is much
worse across the country.
(eerie music)
- Hmm?
(mutant Dan roars)
Aagh!
(tense music)
Aagh!
Aagh!
(ladder clatters)
(mutant Dan growls)
(mutant Dan grunts)
- [Announcer] South of the
border, the average temperature.
(Gracie panting)
- Whoa!
(announcer chattering)
- [Announcer] And now a
message from our sponsor.
Get ready...
(Dan growls)
family out for a wild
adventure at Colepepper Zoo.
This Sunday is free
baboon bobble head day.
("The Colepepper
Zoo theme song")
- What do I do?
With the Colepepper song
(mutant Dan gurgling)
- Dan!
So many different animals
Are waiting for you
(mutant Dan moans)
- Oh.
Oh, Dan.
I didn't mean to kill ya...
(Dan belches)
What?
Dan...
Is that you?
- Who else would I be?
- You don't remember?
- I remember the
gorilla-giraffe thing got me and
then things get hazy, purple.
I was one of them.
- You were drownin'.
- You didn't leave.
- [Gracie] I thought
I was too late.
- You saved me.
- Then you changed back
after swallowing...
That's it!
It was the soap and water!
- Soap and water cured me.
Ha!
Oh, you're serious?
- It must've.
Wait a minute! I've got an idea.
Okay.
I know how we can save the pack
and the whole zoo!
It'd be tricky,
but we'll need help
from Xavier and the others.
- What?
We can't trust them.
And we don't need them.
We got the key.
- But what if the only
way is to trust others?
Workin' together,
howlin' together.
- Howling together?
Ha. Listen to me, kid.
When it comes down to it,
everyone's on their own.
- But...
even you and me?
- Even you
and me.
- You know what I think?
I think you're afraid.
I think you're a
cowardly mountain lion.
- Cowardly!
I'm just not stupid enough to
think I can save everybody.
- Stupid?
Was I stupid when
you were drownin'
and I saved you?
- Yes. Yes you were.
- Well, if I'm so stupid,
why don't you just
save yourself.
- We are done.
- Fine.
Go on, run away.
Who needs a cowardly
lion anyway?
(footsteps tapping)
- [Poot] Gracie...
Gracie...
- Aagh!
- Gracie...
- Come on, Poot.
The time for games is over.
We've got work to do.
(mutant screeching
in the distance)
(Dan growls)
- Yeah, that's what I get for
trying to help other animals.
What was I-?
Aagh.
(restrained music)
(Felix grunts)
Huh?
- Ha, ha.
- Grrr.
A monkey?
(Felix grunts)
(Felix laughs)
- Enjoy your new life in
the zoo, mountain lion.
- Ugh.
- I have a feeling
it'll be short.
(Felix laughs)
(lamp post squeaks)
(light music)
(Felix grunts)
(Felix laughs)
(indistinct twanging)
Huh?
What?
(frog tongue thwacks)
(Felix yells)
(frog croaks)
Tree frogs!
I should've known.
(frog croaks)
(Felix hooting in fright)
(frogs croak)
Oh my God, I gotta
get out of here.
(Felix grunts)
Huh?
Oh. The key!
(frogs croak)
Aagh!
Huh?
(Felix laughs)
Aagh.
(frogs croak)
Aagh!
(Poot humming)
- Come on, Poot.
(mutant kangaroo growls)
- Hi, I'm-
- We might be too late.
Wait here for me, Poot.
- [Poot] Okay.
(door creaks)
(Gracie gulps)
(footsteps tapping)
- Hello!
- Aagh!
- Young wolf, you are not dead.
A slightly unbelievable
plot twist.
- Uh, Xavier,
where are the others?
- My eyes are so dry.
- Who's the kid?
- I'm a snack.
- Aagh. Poot.
I told you to wait outside.
- Where is the mountain lion?
- The coward left.
Felix?
- The traitor
abandoned his post.
- We're better off without him.
- It doesn't make
any difference.
Apparently, act three is
coming and we're in a...
What is it?
- A tragedy!
- Yeah. That.
- Maybe not.
I have a plan.
(Felix screams)
- Huh?
You saved me?
- I saved this.
- Oh!
Wait, wait! Take me with you.
I knew you were a
smart mountain lion.
From the moment I saw you.
If we'd stuck with
those other fools,
we wouldn't be here right now.
You're better than them.
So let's just use the
key and get outta here.
After all, we're both survivors.
We're the same.
(Dan sighs)
- You're right.
I am the same as you.
- Now you're talking!
- Disappointing.
- What?
(Felix gasps)
(Felix laughs)
Oh.
Where are you going?
I really am the only
smart one around here.
Fine. I don't need any of them.
(Felix chuckles)
- [Gracie] I saw it
with my own eyes.
- I don't buy it.
- That is because you have
not been paying attention
to the lessons of
the Late Night Movie.
This is obviously the part
when the heroes attempt
a final desperado plan.
- Exactement!
- Yes, yes. Exactly!
- But first, the young wolf
must make an inspiring speech
about the power of
working together.
- Uh. Thank you, Xavier.
Ahem.
Look, we gotta-
- Yeah, I know.
And she's gonna point out
that we made it this far
by sticking together.
- Well, yeah. So-
- True, but why would
we risk our hides
for the others out there?
- See. What I was gonna say-
- Allow me.
I believe Gracie will respond,
"'Cause they aren't
really different.
Beneath the fur, the
feathers and the hides,
we're all the same!"
- That's right. We're like-
- Like one big
(gags) happy pack.
- Exactly, and-
- Then she will go for
our hearts and say,
"Without our help,
they have no hope."
- Bravo.
A very inspiring speech, Gracie.
- Hmm.
Why are we letting her talk
us into this ridiculous plan?
- Because it is the
right thing to do.
- So...
are we doin' this?
- I am honored to be part
of your pack, Gracie.
- Mademoiselle, our
destiny is in your paws!
(Xavier imitates trumpet
playing "La Marseillaise")
- But soap and water? Really?
And it sounds super dangerous.
I'm just...
I-I don't think I can do it.
- Ash, do you not yet realize?
You are the sarcastic
skeptic of the team
who thinks he does not care.
But in the end, you
will surprise yourself
and rise to the occasion.
A hero.
- A hero?
Me?
Okay. You guys are so pushy.
Stop it!
- Oh!
- What's a movie?
(upbeat music)
- First, I'll get something
to attract the monsters.
Next.
Frida, you and Poot will
quietly get the soap.
- Quietly!
- [Frida] No hay problema!
(Frida groans)
- [Gracie] Then Ash,
you get the gum-beast
elephant to chase ya.
- Wait! What?
- [Gracie] Xavier.
Do you know how to use a rope?
(lasso whishing)
- That's it, pardner.
Just a little closer.
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Felix humming)
(Felix chuckles)
- Hm?
Ugh.
Come on!
Ohm.
Aagh!
Ugh!
Come on!
(Felix screams)
(Felix grunts)
Oh.
Ha, ha.
(reader beeps)
(Felix laughs)
(Felix gasps)
What!
(Felix gasps)
(frogs croak)
Nice critters. Nice...
Just...
Aagh!
No!
(Felix screams)
(mutants groan)
(buckets clanging)
(Gracie panting)
(mutant screeches)
(mutant frog croaks)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant groans)
- Hm.
(tense music)
(mutant alpaca roars)
(mutant growls)
(Gracie grunts)
(buckets clanging)
(mutants grunting, groaning)
(Gracie panting)
(mutant screeches)
Huh?
Huh?
(mutants cackling)
(Gracie panting)
(intimidating music)
(Gracie grunts)
(Gracie panting)
(restrained music)
(crow caws)
(electricity buzzing)
(Gracie chuckles)
(mutants groaning)
(Gracie chuckles)
Yes!
It's time to wash out all
those droolin' mouths.
Ha.
This is actually gonna work!
- This isn't going to work!
(mutant macaque hooting)
(Frida gasps)
(blow thudding)
- Whoa!
My turn! My turn!
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Ash screams)
- Whoa!
- Oh, no.
(Gracie yells)
(uneasy music)
(mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)
Huh?
(mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)
(eerie music)
Oh!
(mutant frog croaks)
(mutant Bunny Zero gibbering)
(mutant frog croaks)
(Gracie grunts)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackles)
(Gracie grunts)
(wolf howls)
(Dan imitates wolf howling)
I don't believe it.
He came back!
- What's he doing here?
- Huh? I should have guessed.
Hidden beneath the fierce
carnivore exterior,
a heart of gold!
Gets me every time.
Pull yourself together, Xavier.
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Dan roars)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant macaque screams)
- Huh?
(Dan roars)
- Best night ever!
Faster! Faster!
(Poot laughs)
(Dan panting)
- Everyone off.
Now!
(Frida grunts)
(air whooshing)
(wheels squeak)
(crash roars)
(boxes thudding)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(mutant Bunny Zero hissing)
- To our glorious climax!
- Abandon ship!
(Ash yells)
(Xavier grunts)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(blow thudding)
(tower creaks)
(tower moans)
(mutant elephant shrieks)
(crash roars)
(tense music)
- Huh?
(Xavier screams)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
- Xavier!
(Xavier yells)
I've got you.
- I am not ready
for my death scene!
- Hold on!
I'm coming!
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
- Aah! Aah!
(mutant elephant grunts)
(cistern thudding)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(crash roars)
(water splashing)
(mutants scream)
(water babbling)
(mutants gurgling)
(Xavier groans)
Huh?
From the jaws of defeat,
our hero arc is complete!
- Looks like you messed
with the wrong pack, bunny!
(mutant Bunny Zero screams)
Humph.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutant Bunny Zero splutters)
(restrained music)
(Gracie grunts)
(pack cheering)
- You did it!
- We win, I think.
- You did it, Gracie.
- No.
We all did it.
(water gurgling)
- [Pack] Huh?
- It's workin'.
They're gonna be alright.
(bunny laughs)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
I don't, I don't understand.
It should have worked.
- I don't wanna be that guy.
But I did say soap
and water was a crazy
way to cure mutants.
So, you know.
- Uh, amigos.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutants screeching)
(intimidating music)
- What?
(Ash screams)
(mutants cackling)
- What kind of animal is that?
- That?
I'd call that something worse!
- If it is here we
make our last stand,
then so be it.
No! No!
No me toque. No me toque...
- Run!
(alarming music)
- Come on, kid, move it!
(Dan grunts)
(Poot laughs)
No!
Come and get me, you
ugly pile of pampered-
(Gracie grunts)
(restrained music)
(Gracie and Dan panting)
- You think it saw us?
- No.
Uh, I mean yes.
(horrible music)
Aagh, look out!
(crash roars)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant Poot grunts)
(mutants groaning)
- Again.
Again.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(Dan panting)
- Gracie!
(Gracie panting)
Gracie!
Are you all right?
- No.
Reckon I'm all wrong.
About everythin'.
About my plan.
About teaming up
with other animals.
And dead wrong about
soap and water,
that's for sure.
You'd be safe in
the wild right now
if you hadn't made the mistake
of believing in me and my ideas.
- I've made a few mistakes
in my life, Gracie.
But believing in you
isn't one of them.
Heck, I may have
even learned a thing
or two from you tonight.
(Gracie gasps)
(indistinct thudding)
Huh?
(tense music)
(Gracie groans in fright)
- Huh?
(mutant Poot grunts)
Ew.
(mutant Poot gibbering)
Oh.
Poor Poot.
(mutant Poot roars)
Whoa!
- Whoa!
(Dan and Gracie gasp)
(snow globe playing zoo jingle)
Oh!
(Gracie gasps)
- Hi.
I'm Poot?
(Gracie laughs)
Whoa!
- What just happened?
(Gracie sniffing)
(snow globe playing zoo jingle)
- Oh my.
(Gracie gasps)
That's it!
Soap and water was
never the cure.
It was music!
- Oh yeah, 'cause that
makes much more sense.
- Oh, I love music.
La, la, la, la.
- Hmm.
This is probably
too small, but...
I have an idea.
Dan, do you think you could
believe in me one last time?
- Yes.
- You do?
I'm surprised.
- I'm always surprised.
- Don't be.
We're stronger together.
And together we can't lose-
Whoa!
- Dan!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
Let's go.
(footfall booms)
(thunder cracks)
(mutants shriek)
Run, Poot!
Run!
(Poot grunts)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
I just have to get the lizard
to point at the toucan.
(Gracie grunts)
Oh, no!
I need
more time.
(Gracie grunts)
- Don't worry, Gracie.
(suspenseful music)
I got this.
I'm it!
(Poot laughs)
- Poot, stop!
- You're it!
Nyah-nyah!
(Poot laughs)
(Gracie grunts)
- Now I just gotta get the
snake to point at the swans.
- Whoa!
- Just a little
more.
(tense music)
(mutant groans)
(Gracie grunts)
(Poot panting)
(Poot laughs)
(mutant Felix roars)
(mutant Felix growls)
(bell chimes)
(Poot laughs)
(PA system feedback)
(upbeat music)
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
(mutants screeching)
The Colepepper Zoo
So many different animals
- It's workin'!
Come visit our gift shop
We've got merch for you
At Colepepper zoo
A lot of merch for you
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
(Ash and Xavier scream)
(Frida screams)
Let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
- The song is the
cure! Just sing!
Friends in the zoo
- [Ash, Frida, and Xavier]
Friends in the zoo.
The Colepepper Zoo
So many different animals
are waiting for you
- A monster movie
with a musical ending.
Ridiculous!
They smile at
screeching monkeys
Giving hippos applause
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So many different animals
are waiting for you
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
- Goodbye!
(Dan roars)
The big clock has chimed

(mutant Bunny Zero
roars, screeches)
(mutant Bunny Zero groans)
(soft music)
- Um...
What's everybody looking at?
Oh!
- I've always loved that song.
(Dan roars)
Aagh!
- Felix.
- Hello...
Fred.
- Buddy!
Wow, man.
Ha, ha.
What a crazy night.
- A genuine feel-good ending.
And the beginning of a
beautiful friendship?
- An ostrich
and a lemur?
- Why not?
- Hey, Gracie.
Since we're all a pack now,
does that make me a wolf?
(Poot howls)
- No, it most certainly don't!
- Gramma Abigale!
- Stop crowdin' me, child!
- Gramma Abigale,
you were right about
somethin' worse happenin'.
But you were wrong
about other critters.
- You say that to me
after all I've gone
through tonight!
But I get it.
For a spell,
I was snugged up close
and personal with an
aardvark and zebra.
Now I see how other
critters ain't so bad.
And I also got me a
bunny rabbit tail.
I like it.
And I don't care who knows it!
(Gracie laughs)
- It suits you, Gramma.
Now let me introduce
you to my new friends.
- And I thought to myself,
"With great power..."
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(reader beeps)
(gate screeching)
- [Gracie] You were just
gonna leave without so much
as a so long?
- Aw,
busted.
I'm not so good with so longs.
- I thought you might
consider staying.
- It is tempting, Gracie,
but I need to be in the wild.
- Yeah, I figured.
- Well, who knows?
Maybe one day you'll
get tired of zoo life
and wanna see the real world.
- Nothing's impossible.
- You proved that tonight.
So long, kid.
(gentle music)
- I might be a hero.
That's what they're calling me.
- [Poot] Gracie!

(beasts barking)
(alarming music)
- Get off me, Hank.
- Get your stinkin' feet
outta my face!
- Why don't you get your
stinkin' face outta my feet?
(Maynard whimpers)
(Maynard screams)
(pack grunting, yapping)
(Gracie laughs)
- Got yourselves a
little tangled up there.
Eh, boys?
- Wait a minute.
This is your fault, Gracie.
- Yeah, well.
I did tell ya I didn't wanna
play your little games.
- Games?
(tenebrous music)
(Abigale coughs)
- [Hank] Gracie done
that on purpose.
- Got us all
twisted up and such.
- Y'all done let Gracie
outsmart you again.
(Gracie laughs)
So this is all
just a game to ya?
- Well, yeah.
You did tell the boys to pretend
to be a scary predator
and for me to act
like I was the prey.
Then I got the idea to make
things more interesting
with a new spin on
maneuver 12b, 6, dash, 2-
- Just what we need,
more Gracie ideas.
These ain't games!
These here are goldurn
survival drills.
- Aw, why can't you
just do 'em without me?
- Because we's a pack.
It takes a whole pack,
workin' together,
howlin' together-
(pack howls)
Not now, ya numbskulls! Grrr!
(Abigale coughs)
Can't ya see I'm
making a point here.
It takes a whole
pack to survive.
And in case it slipped
your mind, little missy,
you's a part of that pack.
- Ugh.
All that boring old
pack stuff just seems so
pointless.
- [Pack] Huh?
- Pointless?
You just don't get
it, do you, Gracie?
Sooner or later, something bad
or worse is gonna happen.
It always does.
(Gracie sighs)
- Nothing's gonna happen.
It never does.
We live in a zoo!
- [PA Announcer] Families
with young children.
Don't miss our petting zoo
located in the red barn.
- Exactly!
(Abigale coughs)
We're completely surrounded
by all kinda dangerous
enemy critters.
- Dangerous?
Really? I don't know about that.
(beast roars)
(truck honking)
(beast growls)
- I suppose whatever that is
don't sound dangerous to ya?
Well, mark my words,
miss know-it-all:
Sooner or later, somethin'
bad, or worse, is gonna happen.
Always does.
Outta my way.
Nature's a-callin' and
my canines is a-floatin'.
(reverse alarm beeping)
(brakes squealing)
(brakes hissing)
(door thuds)
(beast growls softly)
- Hm?
(rifle banging)
Hm?
Whoa!
(beast roars)
(rifle clicks)
(dart zipping)
(large wolf whimpering)
- [Hank] Goldarn it, Maynard!
(beast roars)
(tense music)
- Dangerous?
Come on.
(zoo animals calling)
(PA system feedback)
- [PA Announcer] It's
closing time here
at the Colepepper Zoo.
Please make your
way to the exits.
We hope to see you again.
Real soon.
(Gracie sighs)
(zoo animals calling)
- Lizard to toucan,
snake to swans.
(clock ticks)
(bell chiming)
(PA system feedback)
(upbeat music)
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
- Come on.
- It's so cute!
- Let's go, sweetie. Come, come.
(child screams)
Come on, honey! Let's go!
- I said that's
enough, that's enough.
We gotta hurry up. We gotta go.
- Come on!
- No!
- I'm so done with this.
Let's go.
(child groans)
At Colepepper Zoo
A lot of merch for you
- Oh, we gotta go, honey.
- I'd carry you, Jesse Ron,
but you don't want that. Hurry.
To move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
(electric gates buzzing)
(electric gates clank)
(Gracie yawns)
(crickets chirruping)
- Something bad, or
worse, is gonna happen.
Humph, not likely.
Nothin' interesting
ever happens here.
(light music)
(transmission noise)
(garbled voices)
- [Radio Announcer 1] The radio
show is going pretty good.
(garbled voices, laughter)
- [Radio Announcer 2] And now

That definitely

- [Member 2] Get over here!
- [Member 3] Tech-nurse.
- [Member 4] One, two...
- [Member 5] Keep going!
Keep, keep steady.
- [Member 6] How's
your breathing now?
- [Member 3] Here, use this-
- Breathe this oxygen now.
- [Member 7] Oxygen.
- [Member 1] Miss?
- [Gracie] Huh?
(remote control clicks)
(TV playing)
- [Actor 1] You just come in
here like you own the place.
- [Actor 2] Who do
you think you are?
(Gracie groans)
- Huh?
Oh no, no, no, no, no!
(Gracie grunts)
(door clanks)
(Gracie barking, growling)
- Ooh la la!
Young wolf, you are awake!
- Stay away, critter.
My paws are lethal...
Hey, why aren't you in a cage?
- Aah.
Excellent question,
mademoiselle.
But to understand,
you must first witness
the Late Night Movie!
(actress screams)
Like the actors in
these films, I, Xavier,
in my own modest way perform.
Sometimes it is a nagging cough.
(Xavier coughs)
Or pink eye.
(Xavier screams)
Or a broken tail.
The humans, they bring me here,
feed me and leave me
alone for the night.
Aah.
And that is when
the show begins!
Thrillers, dramas,
comedies,
heist films.
From these films I have
studied the techniques
of picking locks.
Et voila!
Cages can no longer
contain Xavier!
- Is that so, Xavier?
(Gracie gasps)
- You!
- Yeah, and thanks to you,
I'm stuck in a cage, again.
- Are you kiddin'?
You're the reason
I'm in this cage.
- You're the one that
got us tangled up.
- [Gracie] And you're
the one who attacked me!
- Attacked?
If I'd attacked...
Agh, forget it.
So, Xavier, I doubt
you can open my cage.
- Prepare to eat your
words, fierce feline!
- What're you doin'?
He's a mountain lion!
- Ah, oui. Un carnivore.
You almost fooled
Xavier, monsieur.
But perhaps I am too
clever for you, hmm?
(Dan growls)
(Gracie growls)
- He would've eaten me if it
weren't for my pack training.
Wait.
The pack! I-I have
to get outta here.
I have to warn the pack.
- Hmm.
Unlikely allies drawn together.
Xavier, the dashing
lock picker, and you...
Um.
- Huh?
Oh. Gracie.
- Gracie, the
slow-witted bodyguard.
Together they struggle
to beat impossible odds.
Hmm, I like it.
- Uh, you mean
you're gonna help me?
A wolf?
- Why not?
- Ahem.
She can't help you
beat impossible odds.
But I can.
- You say this why, monsieur?
- I'm from the wild.
I have the skills to
survive and to escape.
Plus, the zoo key
is right over there,
and I know how to use it.
- Excellente!
Why would Xavier want
to escape the zoo?
- You don't want to escape?
- I have my late night movies!
- [Dan] What about you, wolf?
- I just wanna get
back to my pack.
Warn them about the
one-armed purple pod monster.
(Xavier groaning dramatically)
- Did this purple pod
monster with one arm glow
with a demonic light?
- You saw it too!
- Of course.
In my favorite of all
Late Night Movies.
Horror!
(Xavier cackling excitedly)
Skinny wolf, I suspect you
saw only the first stage.
The chrysalis.
Within is the real danger.
- You mean...
something worse?
- Of course,
whatever is growing inside is
always revealed to be worse.
(thunder cracks)
But never before the
second commercial break.
(thunder cracks)

- Hey, Felix. You hear that?
- I hear you waking me up.
- Oh. I think
something's not right.
- Yes, you thinking.
So cut it out before
you hurt yourself
and let me sleep.
(indistinct animal sounds)
(macaques snoring)
(air vent ticking)
- Huh?
(air vent ticking)
Hmm?
Hmm?
Huh?
Huh?
Whoa!
(mutants gibbering)
(mutant cackling)
Aagh!
- Huh? What?
(macaques scream)
(spooky music)
(mutant cackling)
(macaque hooting)
(macaque screams)
Sneak attack!
(Felix screams)
Stay back you...
you...
whatever you are!
(Felix yells)
(Felix screams)
- I gotcha!
(Fred grunts)
(Felix screams)
(macaque screams)
(spooky music)
We need a plan.
- I have one.
- Great. What is it?
- Every monkey for himself!
- Huh?
(Fred screams)
(Fred groans)
(Felix hooting)
(tense music)
(door rattling)
- How do humans make
it look so easy?
(mutant macaques hooting)
(latch clicking)
(Felix grunts)
Rodent.
- Capybara, you ignorant monkey.
- Hold that door!
It's coming!
It's coming for me!
- No ostriches!
- No! Close it!
Move! I will do it!
- [Ash] It's coming for me!
- Watch the tail!
(Ash panting)
- [Frida] No! No!
Close the door!
No!
- Every time!
(mutant groans)
- Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
- Eh...
you're welcome?
- That was sarcasm.
You and your ugly monkey
friend tried to shut me out!
- He's not my friend.
- Friends with a guinea pig?
- Capybara!
Stop looking at me.
(Frida growls)
(Felix growls)
(Ash growls)
- Hey.
(Felix screams)
- Mountain lion!
- [Ash and Frida] Aagh!
- [Frida] Wolf!
- [Felix] Aagh! Two!
(Ash screams)
- Carnivores!
- Get in front of me!
- They're caged.
Phew.
Unnecessary heart attack.
(Xavier humming)
- Voila!
(tense music)
(Ash and Felix scream)
- Wait, here!
Have a delicious capybara!
- Put me down,
you animal!
- Panic attack!
- Okay, but...
Okay, wait.
- Put me down!
- Just stop.
What's going on out there?
- Monsters
have overrun
the zoo.
- What?
Could this have all started
from the purple pod?
- It has happened before.
- It has?
- In countless films.
Have you seen Invasion
of the Body-?
- Ahem.
Hm.
(wheels rumbling)
(stand clinks)
Oh, come on.
No one else is in a cage.
And naturally, I will abide
by the watering hole rule.
- What's the watering hole rule?
- Wow.
Zoo animals really
don't have a clue.
In the wild,
when there's a common
threat, like dying of thirst,
animals leave each other
alone at watering holes.
This is like that.
So, lemme out.
- Pshh.
- What do I look like to you?
- A bird.
- What else?
- A...
big bird?
- What else?
Go on.
You can say it.
You know you want to.
- A big delicious bird!
(Dan roars)
- Exactly, carnivores
stay in their cages.
Except for the skinny wolf.
And only because the stupid
lemur already let her out.
- All right!
Cut the chatter, animals.
Listen up.
As the most evolved
creature here,
I'm taking charge.
- I don't think so.
(Frida chuckles)
- Capybaras do
not trust monkeys.
- Would you trust a
student of the cinema?
- I thought you were a lemur.
(door banging)
(mutant growls)
- What's that?
- As I was saying,
since I have the
biggest brain, I-
(door banging)
(Felix screams)
- You definitely have
the biggest mouth.
(door banging)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant growls)
- Incroyable.
It has become some
kind of gummy zombie.
A gum-beast!
- Aagh!
- Aagh!
(Gracie growls)
(Gracie grunts)
- I can't hold it alone.
- Your sacrifice is appreciated.
- Seriously?
Whoa.
- Lower animals out of the way.
(tense music)
(Dan gasps)
(mutant Fred roars)
(light music)
- Excusez-moi.
Hmm.
- Oh!
(Dan grunts)
- Ugh.
Huh?
- I know that leg.
Fred?
- Whoa!
(Felix screams)
- Get it off me!
- Aagh!
Huh?
(Frida screams)
(Dan growls)
(Frida screams)
- No, no me toque.
No me toque pata gigante.
(tense music)
(Dan growls)
- Wow.
(rifle clicks)
(dart thwacks)
- Et voila!
Piece of cake.
- Looks clear.
- Okay, on my command-
- Stuff it, fleabag.
- Stop!
- Pardon me, monkey.
- Merci.
- Haven't you heard
of chain of command?
You ignorant animals.
(mutant Fred grunts)
(intimidating music)
- Hmm.
What if...?
(Gracie grunts)
- Ow.
(mutant macaques hooting)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Dan moans)
(light music)
- Hey, stop!
(Dan groans)
This is humiliating. Leave me.
- I have a better idea.
You be my bodyguard.
- Ow!
- Help me get back to my pack
and then I'll give you this...
What did you call it?
Key.
Deal?
- No deal.
(Dan grunts)
Gimme that thing.
(mutants growl)
- All right. So long.
(mutant screeches)
- Grrr. Deal.
- Sorry. What was that?
Hard to hear you over the
monsters gettin' so close.
- Oh, don't push it, wolf.
- Okay, sure.
I'm Gracie, by the way.
What's your name?
- What difference does it make?
Dan.
Can we go now?
- Hmm.
I wonder where the others went.
(restrained music)
(sign humming)
- Something further down
the food chain go first.
You, big rodent!
- Stop calling me rodent!
- But aren't capybaras rodents?
- That's not my point.
- Sh!
- Why is he in the lead?
Are we really going
to be led by someone
with a bird brain for a brain?
- You literally just said
someone else go first.
(toy squeaks)
(group gasps)
(toy squeaks)
(Ash gasps)
(Felix gasps)
- Ay!
(toy squeaks)
(mutant antelope grunts)
(group screams)
- Ah, a convenient plot device.
(toy squeaks)
(mutant roars)
(Ash and Felix scream)
(toy squeaks)
(mutant grunts)
(eerie music)
(Ash screams)
(Frida yells)
- Huh?
- Huh?
(Gracie sniffing)
Huh?
Where'd that come from?
- This is a zoo.
Nothing makes sense here.
(toy squeaks)
(mutant growls)
(mutant shrieks)
(footsteps tapping)
Aagh!
- Aagh!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
Oh!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
- Pod monster!
(Dan and Gracie panting)
(manhole cover clangs)
(Dan grunts)
(crickets chirruping)
Is this the wild?
- What kind of wolf are you?
We're still in the zoo.
(shrubs rustling)
- Hmm?
Aagh!
- Whoa!
(both yell)
Whoa!
- Whoa!
(Gracie gasps)
I'm drownin'! I'm drownin'!
Oh, (chuckles) what do you know?
(crickets chirruping)
(tense music)
(swings squeak)
(playground equipment screeches)
- Listen up, kid.
It's more dangerous out
here than I thought.
So you're gonna have
to do things my way.
- Huh, your way?
- Yeah, you do exactly
what I say when I say it.
No questions asked.
You got it?
(Gracie chuckles)
What's so funny?
- Well, so far, all I've seen is
your way gettin' you
shot in the butt.
- Hey!
That wasn't my fault.
- Twice.
- That wasn't my fault either!
- Whatever you say.
- Oh, you've got a lot of
nerve for a scrawny zoo-born-
(ball pit rumbling)
Hmm.
(tense music)
All right, we gotta
get outta here!
- Hey!
- What?
- You call that body guardin'?
- Oh, yeah.
(Dan grunts)
- You were gonna leave me.
- Well, I didn't, did I?
Whoa!
- Hi.
I'm Poot.
What are you?
I'm a pygmy hippo.
Or am I?
I'm a whale!
Just kidding.
I really am a pygmy hippo.
But hey, if you see my herd,
do not tell them you saw me.
I'm not supposed to
be out after dark.
Oh, hey!
You could tell them
that you saw a whale.
- What do we do with her?
- What do you mean?
- [Gracie] She's just a cub.
She'll never make it on her own.
- Is she a mountain lion cub?
A wolf cub?
- Just a whale.
That's all you saw.
You're tall.
And ugly.
(Dan sighs)
- It's dead weight.
- Yeah, you're right.
But what if we get hungry
before we find the pack?
Could be a good snack!
- Hm.
- Come on, Poot.
- Oh, go with strangers?
Great idea!
- [Frida] What are you doing?
We cannot stay together.
- [Felix] Agreed. So scram.
I found this door first.
- [Ash] No, you
didn't. The lemur did.
- [Felix] Oh, I did so!
You're being so immature!
- [Ash] And I am
in literal outrage.
- [Xavier] Ah, voila!
(group panting)
- I'm in such bad shape.
- Oh, that was close!
Ay, Dios mio!
(Ash and Felix yell)
- Oh, this is not a good place.
This is not a good place.
No, no, no.
- Oh, no.
We've entered the house of...
- They're all...
They're all...
- Toys.
(toys squeak)
They're all toys.
(thunder rumbling)
- Obviously.
What did you think they were?
(restrained music)
(snow globe plays zoo jingle)
- I hate that song.
Hmm.
(Felix screams)
- Ironic.
Xavier has always wanted
to be in the movies.
And now that it is happening,
I wish it was not so.
Oh.
Why did it have to be
a monster movie, huh?
Why not a comedy?
We could laugh.
(Xavier laughs)
Or a musical? We could dance.
(sprightly music)
- Why did we let
him come with us?
- Are you all blind?
Do you not see
what is happening?
- That's just it,
you ridiculous lemur.
We don't.
- Do you?
- Mesdames et Messieurs,
welcome to the zoopocalypse!
(alarming music)
(mutants calling)
(mutant macaques growl)
- [Poot] Are we there yet?
- [Gracie] For the
hundredth time, Poot, no.
I'm starting to feel
like having a snack.
(mutant leopard growls)
(mutant cackling)
- Does your herd know
you're out after dark?
Oh, hey! Can we play a game?
- [Dan] Let's play the
stay very quiet game.
- [Poot] I lose!
Let's play again.
- [Dan] I said, stay very-
- Ha, you lose!
This is a fun game.
Mm-Mm
I'm so super quiet
Mm-Mm
- You lose again, Poot.
- [Poot] Oh, yeah!
- I'm sure the
pack would've used
Camouflage Tactic 9, Charlie 6.
That'd be the obvious strategy.
- Who's Charlie?
What's a strategy?
- Strategies are ways
to deal with enemies.
My Gramma Abigale's
real big on them.
And pack training.
(Dan grunts)
Saved me from you, tough guy.
- Kid, all your pack training
did was get us both caught.
I was just trying
to get out of...
(footsteps tapping
in the distance)
- Gramma Abigale?
Gramma Abigale,
I knew the pack could
handle a few monsters.
- If that's your
grandma, we're too late.
- What? Oh, no.
Gramma Abigale's
always like that.
She's just old.
(mutant wolf groans)
(mutant wolf moans)
(mutant wolf screeches)
Gramma Abigale!
(Gracie yells)
- Gracie, get away from her!
- Gramma!
(alarming music)
- Ooh, tag!
I wanna play!
Uh, maybe later.
- [Dan] No teeth! Lucky break.
- Did you just punch
my gramma in the face?
- Sorry, kid, but your
grandma's a monster.
- You're the monster!
- I thought I was the bodyguard!
- Ugh.
- Huh?
(mutant wolves howl)
(mutant wolves howl)
We gotta go, kid.
- No.
Go without me.
I belong with them.
- No, that won't help anyone.
- Hi! I'm Poot-
- No! No!
No! Let go of me!
Gramma!
(mutant wolves howl)
(thunder cracks)
- There must be a
way out of here.
- Hmm. There is.
(macaque hooting)
(macaque screams)
Ugh, nevermind. There isn't.
- The safest thing to do is
to stay put until sunrise
and the humans return.
- Xavier, what happens next
in the Late Night Movies?
- A good question, Frida.
Often at this point,
the heroes are starving
and resort to eating each other!
(Felix and Ash gasp)
(Frida gasps)
Or, we can eat popcorn!
- Is that food?
- It is a critical
element of the cinema
that Xavier has
always wanted to try.
- Chicos, me first.
Capybaras have low blood sugar.
- Don't be ridiculous.
We go from the top of
the food chain down to...
to the one with
the tiniest brain.
- That does it, monkey!
(uneasy music)
- Savage beast.
(Felix grunts)
- Stop, stop, stop!
We should not fight
during the zoopocalypse!
- No beak!
(Ash laughs)
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Aagh!
(Frida panting)
So, you wanna fight?
Hi-ya!
- The rodent!
- The survivors' long
festering animosities
finally boil over.
A l'attaque!
(crickets chirruping)
- Are we there yet?
- No.
But I think the gate
is somewhere ahead.
- What am I gonna do?
- What are you doing?
- Nothin'.
There's nothin'
left for me to do.
- Oh. Come on, kid.
You, uh...
you owe it to the memory
of your pack to keep going.
- Why?
Now I understand that a wolf
is nothin' without her pack.
- You're a wolf?
I don't think I'm supposed
to talk to wolves.
- Well, suit yourself.
But as promised, I got
you back to your pack.
Now toss over the key
and I'll be on my way.
- And here I thought you
were actually being nice,
but you're just a
cold-hearted snake.
(Poot gasps)
- You're a snake?
I'm never supposed
to talk to snakes.
- Hand over the key.
- Make me!
(group grunts)
(switch clicks)
(light switch clicks on)
(electricity buzzing)
(light switch clicks on)
(eerie music)
- Is this a game?
- Uh-oh!
(mutant macaques hooting)
Huh?
- Huh?
(Poot laughs)
- Look, the wolf and
the mountain lion?
- They have not been
turned into gum-beasts.
- Turn it off!
- Turn it off!
- Turn it off!
- We must set up barricades.
(Frida screams)
- Uh-oh.
(electricity buzzes and bangs)
(eerie music)
(mutant macaque shrieks)
(mutant antelope shrieks)
- Whoa! Whoa!
(mutant macaque screeches)
- Ha, ha, now this
is entertainment!
Wait a minute.
That wolf has a zoo key!
- Felix, quick. Get the door!
- A monkey does not
take orders from a bird.
If you want the door-
(Felix and Ash scream)
- [Xavier and Ash] Felix!
- Felix!
(mutant alpaca bellows)
(Felix grunts)
- Stop telling me what to do.
I'm the smart one around here.
(mutant alpacas shriek)
- All right. This way!
Ah, nope. Okay, this way!
What?
- That way!
(bell rings)
(Gracie panting)
- No, you can't be serious.
(Gracie grunts)
(Poot laughs)
(tense music)
(Dan growls)
(Dan grunts)
(both panting)
- [Poot] Whoa!
- Whew.
Looks like I saved us.
- We're not out
of this yet, kid.
(mutant Fred grunts)
- Huh?
(tense music)
- Take cover!
(mutant Fred roars)
- No!
- Whoa!
Whoa!
- Aagh!
- Wee!
Wee!
(Gracie screams)
Wee!
Yeah!
(mutant Fred roars)
- Whoa!
- This one's for Gramma Abigale.
Surprise maneuver 42b.
Hi-ya!
Uh...
oops.
- You killed it.
Uh...
good job.
(mutant Fred growls)
(tense music)
We gotta get outta here.
(Poot laughs)
- [Poot] Wow!
- Could this night
get any more strange?
- Hmm. This feels like...
Act two!
- What does that mean?
- It means it will
get even stranger.
And the heroes will be betrayed.
(ominous music)
(door creaks)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Poot laughs)
- Aw, thanks.
(mutant Fred grunts)
(mutant Fred grunts)
Uh...
- What?
(mutant Fred roars)
(Gracie shudders)
- Huh?
(mutant Fred roars)
Huh?
- Huh?
- What?
- Huh?
Ugh!
- Yech!
(mutant Fred roars)
(Dan and Gracie scream)
(mutant Fred roars)
- You were right.
Definitely stranger.
How many acts are there?
- There are three acts.
- What happens in the third act?
- The third act is the best.
Everything comes to a head.
Sacrifices made, risks taken,
and in the end, triumph.
Or crushing defeat.
- Sacrifices.
What kind of sacrifices?
I have plans
and believe me,
they don't include sacrifices.
(can thuds)
Anyways, give it to
me straight, Xavier.
What sacrifices?
- Sh.
Felix,
is that you?
(glass shatters)
(toy squeaks)
(mutant whooshing)
(Ash screams)
(Xavier and Ash scream)
(Frida screams)
(mutant kangaroo roars)
(Xavier and Frida scream)
(alarming music)
- A voila!
(mutant kangaroo groans)
(Xavier shudders)
(Frida shudders)
(restrained music)
(footsteps tapping)
(Frida breathing heavily)
(mutant joey screeches)
(Xavier and Ash scream)
(alarming music)
- Whoa!
- Where did it go?
- We have to get outta here.
- But there is nowhere to go.
- Whoa!
(suspenseful music)
(Dan grunts)
(mutant Fred roars)
(Gracie grunts)
- Whoa!
- Gracie!
(Felix laughs)
(Gracie yells)
- Incoming!
(Dan and Gracie scream)
Again!
(mutant Fred screams)
(mutant Fred grunts)
(crickets chirruping)
(Gracie laughs)
- Wow.
- We made it.
- We?
- Yeah.
We.
You've got some
pretty good moves.
You know, for a zoo-born animal.
(mutant growls)
- Is that a zoo-born animal?
(Poot laughs)
(footfalls thudding)
- Huh?
- Huh?
(horrible music)
(Poot chuckles)
(hybrid creature roars)
(hybrid creature roars)
- Whoa!
(Dan gasps)
Hi.
I'm Poot.
- Aagh.
- Gracie!
Run!
(hybrid creature roars)
Aagh.
Whoa! Whoa!
(Dan grunts)
(hybrid creature grunts)
(tense music)
Aagh!
(Dan grunts)
Whoa!
Whoa!
(Dan grunts)
- Dan!
That was amazin'.
- Rrr...
- What? What are you sayin'?
- Rrr...
Run!
- Oh, Dan.
Not you!
One more game, Poot.
- I'm a whale!
(mutant Dan growls)
- Dan.
It's me.
Gracie.
(skylight creaks)
(skylight cracking)
(Gracie screams)
(Gracie grunts)
- [Radio Announcer 1] Let's
talk about the weather.
- [Radio Announcer 2] Well,
after tonight's thunderstorms,
it's going to be a
beautiful sunny day tomorrow
and we can expect
much of the same
over the next couple of days.
You might want to do some
of those outdoor activities
that you've been saving up for.
Vancouver, 16.
Calgary, 19 with a high of 22.
Edmonton, 17 with a high of 19.
The situation is much
worse across the country.
(eerie music)
- Hmm?
(mutant Dan roars)
Aagh!
(tense music)
Aagh!
Aagh!
(ladder clatters)
(mutant Dan growls)
(mutant Dan grunts)
- [Announcer] South of the
border, the average temperature.
(Gracie panting)
- Whoa!
(announcer chattering)
- [Announcer] And now a
message from our sponsor.
Get ready...
(Dan growls)
family out for a wild
adventure at Colepepper Zoo.
This Sunday is free
baboon bobble head day.
("The Colepepper
Zoo theme song")
- What do I do?
With the Colepepper song
(mutant Dan gurgling)
- Dan!
So many different animals
Are waiting for you
(mutant Dan moans)
- Oh.
Oh, Dan.
I didn't mean to kill ya...
(Dan belches)
What?
Dan...
Is that you?
- Who else would I be?
- You don't remember?
- I remember the
gorilla-giraffe thing got me and
then things get hazy, purple.
I was one of them.
- You were drownin'.
- You didn't leave.
- [Gracie] I thought
I was too late.
- You saved me.
- Then you changed back
after swallowing...
That's it!
It was the soap and water!
- Soap and water cured me.
Ha!
Oh, you're serious?
- It must've.
Wait a minute! I've got an idea.
Okay.
I know how we can save the pack
and the whole zoo!
It'd be tricky,
but we'll need help
from Xavier and the others.
- What?
We can't trust them.
And we don't need them.
We got the key.
- But what if the only
way is to trust others?
Workin' together,
howlin' together.
- Howling together?
Ha. Listen to me, kid.
When it comes down to it,
everyone's on their own.
- But...
even you and me?
- Even you
and me.
- You know what I think?
I think you're afraid.
I think you're a
cowardly mountain lion.
- Cowardly!
I'm just not stupid enough to
think I can save everybody.
- Stupid?
Was I stupid when
you were drownin'
and I saved you?
- Yes. Yes you were.
- Well, if I'm so stupid,
why don't you just
save yourself.
- We are done.
- Fine.
Go on, run away.
Who needs a cowardly
lion anyway?
(footsteps tapping)
- [Poot] Gracie...
Gracie...
- Aagh!
- Gracie...
- Come on, Poot.
The time for games is over.
We've got work to do.
(mutant screeching
in the distance)
(Dan growls)
- Yeah, that's what I get for
trying to help other animals.
What was I-?
Aagh.
(restrained music)
(Felix grunts)
Huh?
- Ha, ha.
- Grrr.
A monkey?
(Felix grunts)
(Felix laughs)
- Enjoy your new life in
the zoo, mountain lion.
- Ugh.
- I have a feeling
it'll be short.
(Felix laughs)
(lamp post squeaks)
(light music)
(Felix grunts)
(Felix laughs)
(indistinct twanging)
Huh?
What?
(frog tongue thwacks)
(Felix yells)
(frog croaks)
Tree frogs!
I should've known.
(frog croaks)
(Felix hooting in fright)
(frogs croak)
Oh my God, I gotta
get out of here.
(Felix grunts)
Huh?
Oh. The key!
(frogs croak)
Aagh!
Huh?
(Felix laughs)
Aagh.
(frogs croak)
Aagh!
(Poot humming)
- Come on, Poot.
(mutant kangaroo growls)
- Hi, I'm-
- We might be too late.
Wait here for me, Poot.
- [Poot] Okay.
(door creaks)
(Gracie gulps)
(footsteps tapping)
- Hello!
- Aagh!
- Young wolf, you are not dead.
A slightly unbelievable
plot twist.
- Uh, Xavier,
where are the others?
- My eyes are so dry.
- Who's the kid?
- I'm a snack.
- Aagh. Poot.
I told you to wait outside.
- Where is the mountain lion?
- The coward left.
Felix?
- The traitor
abandoned his post.
- We're better off without him.
- It doesn't make
any difference.
Apparently, act three is
coming and we're in a...
What is it?
- A tragedy!
- Yeah. That.
- Maybe not.
I have a plan.
(Felix screams)
- Huh?
You saved me?
- I saved this.
- Oh!
Wait, wait! Take me with you.
I knew you were a
smart mountain lion.
From the moment I saw you.
If we'd stuck with
those other fools,
we wouldn't be here right now.
You're better than them.
So let's just use the
key and get outta here.
After all, we're both survivors.
We're the same.
(Dan sighs)
- You're right.
I am the same as you.
- Now you're talking!
- Disappointing.
- What?
(Felix gasps)
(Felix laughs)
Oh.
Where are you going?
I really am the only
smart one around here.
Fine. I don't need any of them.
(Felix chuckles)
- [Gracie] I saw it
with my own eyes.
- I don't buy it.
- That is because you have
not been paying attention
to the lessons of
the Late Night Movie.
This is obviously the part
when the heroes attempt
a final desperado plan.
- Exactement!
- Yes, yes. Exactly!
- But first, the young wolf
must make an inspiring speech
about the power of
working together.
- Uh. Thank you, Xavier.
Ahem.
Look, we gotta-
- Yeah, I know.
And she's gonna point out
that we made it this far
by sticking together.
- Well, yeah. So-
- True, but why would
we risk our hides
for the others out there?
- See. What I was gonna say-
- Allow me.
I believe Gracie will respond,
"'Cause they aren't
really different.
Beneath the fur, the
feathers and the hides,
we're all the same!"
- That's right. We're like-
- Like one big
(gags) happy pack.
- Exactly, and-
- Then she will go for
our hearts and say,
"Without our help,
they have no hope."
- Bravo.
A very inspiring speech, Gracie.
- Hmm.
Why are we letting her talk
us into this ridiculous plan?
- Because it is the
right thing to do.
- So...
are we doin' this?
- I am honored to be part
of your pack, Gracie.
- Mademoiselle, our
destiny is in your paws!
(Xavier imitates trumpet
playing "La Marseillaise")
- But soap and water? Really?
And it sounds super dangerous.
I'm just...
I-I don't think I can do it.
- Ash, do you not yet realize?
You are the sarcastic
skeptic of the team
who thinks he does not care.
But in the end, you
will surprise yourself
and rise to the occasion.
A hero.
- A hero?
Me?
Okay. You guys are so pushy.
Stop it!
- Oh!
- What's a movie?
(upbeat music)
- First, I'll get something
to attract the monsters.
Next.
Frida, you and Poot will
quietly get the soap.
- Quietly!
- [Frida] No hay problema!
(Frida groans)
- [Gracie] Then Ash,
you get the gum-beast
elephant to chase ya.
- Wait! What?
- [Gracie] Xavier.
Do you know how to use a rope?
(lasso whishing)
- That's it, pardner.
Just a little closer.
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Felix humming)
(Felix chuckles)
- Hm?
Ugh.
Come on!
Ohm.
Aagh!
Ugh!
Come on!
(Felix screams)
(Felix grunts)
Oh.
Ha, ha.
(reader beeps)
(Felix laughs)
(Felix gasps)
What!
(Felix gasps)
(frogs croak)
Nice critters. Nice...
Just...
Aagh!
No!
(Felix screams)
(mutants groan)
(buckets clanging)
(Gracie panting)
(mutant screeches)
(mutant frog croaks)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant groans)
- Hm.
(tense music)
(mutant alpaca roars)
(mutant growls)
(Gracie grunts)
(buckets clanging)
(mutants grunting, groaning)
(Gracie panting)
(mutant screeches)
Huh?
Huh?
(mutants cackling)
(Gracie panting)
(intimidating music)
(Gracie grunts)
(Gracie panting)
(restrained music)
(crow caws)
(electricity buzzing)
(Gracie chuckles)
(mutants groaning)
(Gracie chuckles)
Yes!
It's time to wash out all
those droolin' mouths.
Ha.
This is actually gonna work!
- This isn't going to work!
(mutant macaque hooting)
(Frida gasps)
(blow thudding)
- Whoa!
My turn! My turn!
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Ash screams)
- Whoa!
- Oh, no.
(Gracie yells)
(uneasy music)
(mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)
Huh?
(mutant Bunny Zero chuckles)
(eerie music)
Oh!
(mutant frog croaks)
(mutant Bunny Zero gibbering)
(mutant frog croaks)
(Gracie grunts)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackles)
(Gracie grunts)
(wolf howls)
(Dan imitates wolf howling)
I don't believe it.
He came back!
- What's he doing here?
- Huh? I should have guessed.
Hidden beneath the fierce
carnivore exterior,
a heart of gold!
Gets me every time.
Pull yourself together, Xavier.
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(Dan roars)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant macaque screams)
- Huh?
(Dan roars)
- Best night ever!
Faster! Faster!
(Poot laughs)
(Dan panting)
- Everyone off.
Now!
(Frida grunts)
(air whooshing)
(wheels squeak)
(crash roars)
(boxes thudding)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(mutant Bunny Zero hissing)
- To our glorious climax!
- Abandon ship!
(Ash yells)
(Xavier grunts)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(blow thudding)
(tower creaks)
(tower moans)
(mutant elephant shrieks)
(crash roars)
(tense music)
- Huh?
(Xavier screams)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
- Xavier!
(Xavier yells)
I've got you.
- I am not ready
for my death scene!
- Hold on!
I'm coming!
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
- Aah! Aah!
(mutant elephant grunts)
(cistern thudding)
(mutant elephant trumpets)
(crash roars)
(water splashing)
(mutants scream)
(water babbling)
(mutants gurgling)
(Xavier groans)
Huh?
From the jaws of defeat,
our hero arc is complete!
- Looks like you messed
with the wrong pack, bunny!
(mutant Bunny Zero screams)
Humph.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutant Bunny Zero splutters)
(restrained music)
(Gracie grunts)
(pack cheering)
- You did it!
- We win, I think.
- You did it, Gracie.
- No.
We all did it.
(water gurgling)
- [Pack] Huh?
- It's workin'.
They're gonna be alright.
(bunny laughs)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
I don't, I don't understand.
It should have worked.
- I don't wanna be that guy.
But I did say soap
and water was a crazy
way to cure mutants.
So, you know.
- Uh, amigos.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutants screeching)
(intimidating music)
- What?
(Ash screams)
(mutants cackling)
- What kind of animal is that?
- That?
I'd call that something worse!
- If it is here we
make our last stand,
then so be it.
No! No!
No me toque. No me toque...
- Run!
(alarming music)
- Come on, kid, move it!
(Dan grunts)
(Poot laughs)
No!
Come and get me, you
ugly pile of pampered-
(Gracie grunts)
(restrained music)
(Gracie and Dan panting)
- You think it saw us?
- No.
Uh, I mean yes.
(horrible music)
Aagh, look out!
(crash roars)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(mutant grunts)
(mutant Poot grunts)
(mutants groaning)
- Again.
Again.
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
(Dan panting)
- Gracie!
(Gracie panting)
Gracie!
Are you all right?
- No.
Reckon I'm all wrong.
About everythin'.
About my plan.
About teaming up
with other animals.
And dead wrong about
soap and water,
that's for sure.
You'd be safe in
the wild right now
if you hadn't made the mistake
of believing in me and my ideas.
- I've made a few mistakes
in my life, Gracie.
But believing in you
isn't one of them.
Heck, I may have
even learned a thing
or two from you tonight.
(Gracie gasps)
(indistinct thudding)
Huh?
(tense music)
(Gracie groans in fright)
- Huh?
(mutant Poot grunts)
Ew.
(mutant Poot gibbering)
Oh.
Poor Poot.
(mutant Poot roars)
Whoa!
- Whoa!
(Dan and Gracie gasp)
(snow globe playing zoo jingle)
Oh!
(Gracie gasps)
- Hi.
I'm Poot?
(Gracie laughs)
Whoa!
- What just happened?
(Gracie sniffing)
(snow globe playing zoo jingle)
- Oh my.
(Gracie gasps)
That's it!
Soap and water was
never the cure.
It was music!
- Oh yeah, 'cause that
makes much more sense.
- Oh, I love music.
La, la, la, la.
- Hmm.
This is probably
too small, but...
I have an idea.
Dan, do you think you could
believe in me one last time?
- Yes.
- You do?
I'm surprised.
- I'm always surprised.
- Don't be.
We're stronger together.
And together we can't lose-
Whoa!
- Dan!
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
Let's go.
(footfall booms)
(thunder cracks)
(mutants shriek)
Run, Poot!
Run!
(Poot grunts)
(mutant Bunny Zero cackling)
I just have to get the lizard
to point at the toucan.
(Gracie grunts)
Oh, no!
I need
more time.
(Gracie grunts)
- Don't worry, Gracie.
(suspenseful music)
I got this.
I'm it!
(Poot laughs)
- Poot, stop!
- You're it!
Nyah-nyah!
(Poot laughs)
(Gracie grunts)
- Now I just gotta get the
snake to point at the swans.
- Whoa!
- Just a little
more.
(tense music)
(mutant groans)
(Gracie grunts)
(Poot panting)
(Poot laughs)
(mutant Felix roars)
(mutant Felix growls)
(bell chimes)
(Poot laughs)
(PA system feedback)
(upbeat music)
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
(mutants screeching)
The Colepepper Zoo
So many different animals
- It's workin'!
Come visit our gift shop
We've got merch for you
At Colepepper zoo
A lot of merch for you
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
(Ash and Xavier scream)
(Frida screams)
Let's all say goodbye
with the Colepepper song
- The song is the
cure! Just sing!
Friends in the zoo
- [Ash, Frida, and Xavier]
Friends in the zoo.
The Colepepper Zoo
So many different animals
are waiting for you
- A monster movie
with a musical ending.
Ridiculous!
They smile at
screeching monkeys
Giving hippos applause
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So many different animals
are waiting for you
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
- Goodbye!
(Dan roars)
The big clock has chimed
It's time to move along
So let's all say goodbye
With the Colepepper song
- [Pack] Goodbye.
(mutant Bunny Zero
roars, screeches)
(mutant Bunny Zero groans)
(soft music)
- Um...
What's everybody looking at?
Oh!
- I've always loved that song.
(Dan roars)
Aagh!
- Felix.
- Hello...
Fred.
- Buddy!
Wow, man.
Ha, ha.
What a crazy night.
- A genuine feel-good ending.
And the beginning of a
beautiful friendship?
- An ostrich
and a lemur?
- Why not?
- Hey, Gracie.
Since we're all a pack now,
does that make me a wolf?
(Poot howls)
- No, it most certainly don't!
- Gramma Abigale!
- Stop crowdin' me, child!
- Gramma Abigale,
you were right about
somethin' worse happenin'.
But you were wrong
about other critters.
- You say that to me
after all I've gone
through tonight!
But I get it.
For a spell,
I was snugged up close
and personal with an
aardvark and zebra.
Now I see how other
critters ain't so bad.
And I also got me a
bunny rabbit tail.
I like it.
And I don't care who knows it!
(Gracie laughs)
- It suits you, Gramma.
Now let me introduce
you to my new friends.
- And I thought to myself,
"With great power..."
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(reader beeps)
(gate screeching)
- [Gracie] You were just
gonna leave without so much
as a so long?
- Aw,
busted.
I'm not so good with so longs.
- I thought you might
consider staying.
- It is tempting, Gracie,
but I need to be in the wild.
- Yeah, I figured.
- Well, who knows?
Maybe one day you'll
get tired of zoo life
and wanna see the real world.
- Nothing's impossible.
- You proved that tonight.
So long, kid.
(gentle music)
- I might be a hero.
That's what they're calling me.
- [Poot] Gracie!
