The Myth of Marakuda (2025) Movie Script
1
Oh, greetings!
Oh, distinguished representatives
of a life form yet unfamiliar to me.
Will you be so kind and tell me
which galaxy this planet is in?
I hate to ask this question,
but at what level is
your civilization exactly?
Oh my.
Aha, I see now, huh?
Oh, the tuk tuk is
safer with me, I think.
Hey, how dare you?
What do you think you're doing?
Hey, hey, hey, get back off me.
Get your paws off me.
I represent the highest stage
of evolution. Don't touch me.
Wait, ah!
Oh my goodness,
what have I done to you?
Oh, well you're just different.
That's good.
My arms are bare.
My tail fell off.
The feather fell off.
A feather, that's mine.
A gift from me.
I'd like you to keep it as
a souvenir of our meeting.
You know, this was
my pink puff in action.
I sped up your evolution.
A shining example of progress.
I have high hopes that now
we will find common ground.
Get lunch!
Lunch?
Get lunch!
What?
No, no, no, no!
Is this how you made me?
I gave you intelligence.
Get away from me.
Help me, anybody!
All clear.
All clear.
-All clear!
-All is clear!
Grandma!
Hello, how are you, home?
But where is Maracuda?
Maracuda!
Martha, I found
some very nice berries.
Dad will be proud.
He might even say I did well.
Ah, Martha, you stupid animal.
Look what you've done.
I am trying my best for the tribe.
Like you'd have anything else to say.
Martha, look here!
This thing shows you as well.
Maracuda!
Coming.
Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in.
Hey, look at that, Martha.
Everyone is here.
Huh, Maracuda!
Why do you always lag behind?
I didn't, though.
I found a bush...
...full of ripe, juicy berries.
So I stopped to pick them 'cause, well,
who but this chieftain's son
should provide
food and drink for the entire tribe.
It's my treat.
This is spurge laurel.
The berries are poisonous.
What? Poisonous?
Of course they are.
I knew that.
This was actually the reason
I picked them.
-I didn't want anyone to eat them.
-I don't trust a single word you say.
Dad, thanks for giving me a
stupid brother to highlight my wit.
But really, I would have
been just fine as an only child.
Clubfoot, throw these berries
as far away as you possibly can.
Yes, we have found a new home.
But you should be wary. On the
other side of these mighty walls,
ruthless and cunning enemies
might be lurking right now.
So we will set up traps
all around the camp to protect us.
Well, you get the idea.
My dad is our stern leader
and I am his only son.
That's why he wants me to
become the leader of the tribe too.
Meeeh yourself.
My sister Spring is the
best warrior in our tribe.
That's my apple.
World is unfair.
As you can tell,
we get along really well.
And this is my grandma.
Her name is Volga.
She really likes them prickly.
Edible cacti, guys.
Beetles and apples.
We will never go hungry again.
Yeah, we're always hungry.
But in the Stone Age, you
have to follow certain rules
if you don't want to get in trouble.
Rule number one.
Don't shove everything you find
into your mouth.
Rule number two.
Make tight knots.
They always come in handy.
Perfect.
-The fling trap is ready.
-Oh, that's right.
But we need to test it first.
Yeah, you're always right.
Great leader.
This is Clubfoot.
Dad loves him like his own son.
Clubfoot.
Such an essential member of our tribe.
I doubt we will ever get along.
Good job.
Clubfoot feels the same, I think.
And finally, rule number three.
Keep the campfire burning at all times.
Throw in some kindling and
never take your eyes off it.
Today is my turn.
Hey, who are you
goofing around in here?
So the Stripe Beetle is ahead.
He is swiftly gaining the lead.
Hey, back to the racing track.
All right.
Woo, he's going so fast,
my ears are raking.
And we're approaching the finish line.
It's not getting up back here.
Who's gonna come out on top today?
Hey, where are you going?
You're supposed to stay.
Hey, come back this second.
You're disrupting the race.
What a shame.
You believed you could escape.
You cannot sabotage the race.
Nope, nope, nope.
There's no escaping from Maracuda.
Maracuda!
Soilworm, swallow me.
We lost our fire!
Maracuda!
Granny, what happened?
How did this happen?
It kind of died down a bit.
No biggie, I'll get it going.
All it takes is a little blowing.
I'm working on it.
It's already burning.
What is this dreadful sound?
Come out, monster.
We will give you a fight.
Who are you?
Me? I'm Aha.
Huh, that's an ugly name.
And what are you
doing in our cave, big guy?
Aha always sleeps in his
cave when Aha needs to think.
So it makes you a thinker.
Yeah, this morning
Aha saw a pretty butterfly
and then Aha thought, why do
butterflies fly, but humans don't?
Any bright ideas?
A butterfly uses butter to fly,
but humans eat butter.
What a flesh of genius.
So from what I understood,
you're done thinking.
No thoughts left behind?
Well then, so long, fuzzball.
No, no, this is my thinking cave.
So long to you.
Have no worry, sister.
It is time to throw my weight around.
Go away while I'm offering
to set things right peacefully.
Hey, you were talking to
Maracuda, the leader's son.
Aha is also leader's son.
Weight-wise,
we are in different leagues.
Hey, hang on.
Was it you who put out our fire?
I will teach you, you hairy thinker.
Aha didn't put the fire out, but
Aha can give you fire from home.
Aha's village has lots of fire.
Oh yeah?
Oh fuzzball, and what would
you like in exchange for the fire?
We have a Wolverine pelt,
or maybe some ostrich eggs.
Maybe you would like this stuff.
You can talk to it.
Aha would like a...
...wife.
Fine, I say yes.
I'll be your wife.
Not you.
Seriously?
Honey, without fire, we're done for.
Granny!
How dare you?
Don't even dream of
marrying my granddaughter.
You're still wet behind
the ears, big boy.
But Aha thought his ears were dry.
Yes, fuzzball.
Think about it, but do
it in another cave. Go!
You want the stone?
When solid white water
falls from the sky,
all of you will shiver
and your teeth will go.
And then you will be begging
Aha to come back with fire.
Come back, little flame.
Without fire, we're done for.
Yeah, power is a heavy burden.
I don't know how he did it.
-Who?
-Your great grandfather.
He gave us fire before
he made the soil warm.
You scared me there, you bear.
-Good evening, everyone. Am I on time?
-Come on, we're just starting.
Aren't family meetings
limited to, you know, family?
Now, daughter, Clubfoot
is practically one of us.
-He often comes up with brilliant ideas.
-Is that so?
Maracuda!
You deny that it was you who
put out the campfire with water.
This is not very manly.
I don't know what to say in
my defense, but it wasn't me.
Enough! I'm sick of your lies.
This is far more serious
than your stupid toys.
And the fact that you chickened
out in front of that fuzzball...
Uh-uh, whatever.
It's despicable for a future chieftain!
-I didn't chicken out.
-Then what did you do?
-I tried to negotiate with him.
-About what?
Your sister was being
threatened by that brute.
You should have been
attacking that fuzz ball.
Right, uh-uh.
And bash his brains out.
Dad, I'm afraid he doesn't
have any brains.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that
because of you, our tribe lost the fire.
Your great grandfather
would have banished you.
It would only be fair.
Well, if it's fair, I will
leave the tribe willingly.
Ha ha, you're right.
I bet you apples that you'll
run back home after 20 paces.
No, I am not running home.
-Oh, really?
-I made up my mind.
-I'm done with you.
-So, I say goodbye.
Oh great chieftain!
I promise that before winter
comes, I will find fire for the tribe.
I will go above and beyond to get it.
You see this?
Let me hug you, Clubfoot!
You're like the son I never had!
Even closer.
Oh, that's 10 paces already.
Martha?
Yeah, only you understand me.
Did he actually leave?
That'll teach him.
Let him spend the night in the wild.
He'll come running back
in the morning. Just you wait.
Your sister looks more
like a warrior than you.
Yeah, well, so what?
Fine, that's right. Fire is important.
But how about a son?
Is he not important?
They brush me off like an annoying fly.
Hello.
Fire, fire, fire!
Fire?
I'm gonna find fire for our tribe!
My dad will be proud of the son
he almost cast away.
There are no obstacles
that can break me down!
Hey, Lightning.
Come on, give me more fire.
Cool. Thank you.
Please don't go out, little flame.
Please don't go out.
Oh, no, a trap.
This water's very nice.
A good dip for good sleep.
Hello?
What was it?
Oh, you see, to be honest,
I don't often get a lot of visitors,
and as you know, and
well, what happened,
I was, well, caught unaware
and slightly overreacted.
Okay, all right.
Well, okay, let's bury the body
and just be done with it. Right?
Okay, okay, okay.
Who knew this would happen, huh?
Oh, look at this!
Oh, he's alive!
All right, the burial's canceled.
You're dismissed.
So, no drama today.
Okay, so, let me see.
My pink puff hasn't changed
anything by the looks of it.
Hmm, strange.
-He doesn't have a tail.
-He didn't grow any wings.
Why would I grow wings all of a sudden?
You know how these things go.
He changed not on the
outside, but on the inside.
You understand the
language of animals, don't you?
-We have to wait King Pow Pow!
-Right, right, right!
What in the world is happening here?
I'm hearing voices in my head.
Keep calm, my friend, you're
about to discover a whole new world.
And I was like, listen, kid.
Daddy's hard at work all day. Can I
just have a lie-down in the evening?
Oh, hello. You would know
when lunchtime is, would you?
Stop! Come back up.
Oh, a human?
You can speak our language?
I've never seen an elephant
burrowing in the ground like a mouse.
Actually, I used to be a little mouse.
So, I tried to hide in a tunnel,
but I'm an elephant now.
Yeah, a nice trunk you've got.
My trunk? I'm loving it.
It's a spare hand and a shower.
You can also blow
your nose pretty loud.
But if you were little,
how did you become so big?
Are you jealous?
This is Tink's work.
I transformed after he
blew his pink puff at me.
Tink, who is this Tink?
Yeah, really, who
is this Tink fellow?
I am Tink.
Can you really do that?
Turn a mouse into an elephant?
That's the power of my pink puff.
It can change anyone you want.
And you, you got to understand
the language of animals.
It's fun, right?
For you, I am happy to make
your acquaintance. Cheers.
Hey, human.
Why are you here?
Did you come to snatch away our Tink?
He's our bird from beyond.
-Oh, great bird from beyond.
-Great bird from beyond.
Hey, my dear friends, let us be civil.
Please take it down a notch.
There is no need to yell.
Don't hurt him.
The human is my guest.
I gather Maracuda
didn't come back after all.
He's too cheeky for his own good.
An adult in the modern stone age
needs to understand
that I have to be stern
as chief of this tribe.
So what if I'm his father?
It means I have to be
even harder on him.
I look after the tribe and
the livestock of the tribe
and the old women of the tribe.
-Mother!
-Don't mother me.
Look, aren't these drawings gorgeous?
The art of an ancient tribe.
You call this art?
They can't even draw
a chicken properly.
Don't you be so nervous.
Mind you, the women in our family
have always kept their wits about them.
I remember when that soilworm
ate your grandfather.
Don't start that.
I remember the story.
When that soilworm ate him, my mom
sat by the campfire for a long time.
A year later, she got up and said,
"I think someone is missing."
Everyone bust out laughing.
Wittiness. This is what keeps us
going when the going gets tough.
And you, what are you sulking about?
You have a cave of your own now.
Yeah, but it doesn't make me happy.
If Maracuda was here,
I wouldn't let him into my room.
I'd throw his toys away.
But now we don't know where he is.
He could have met another soilworm
and carried on the family tradition.
-Mother!
-Don't mother me.
I think I should go
and search for my son.
This is a manly decision.
You're doing the right thing, Rock.
You're doing what a
great chief would do.
What exactly am I doing?
Well, you're gonna search for
your wayward son, like a real hero.
Me?
But I mean, as chief
and father, made a final decision.
Ooh, great leader.
Your brave deed will go down in legend.
They'll sing songs in your honor,
which is why, great Rock,
the sooner you'll meet
your doom and die,
commit a heroic deed, the better.
Okay, all right.
I am going out.
And as for you, Clubfoot,
I know I can rely on you.
You will be my deputy chief.
Good news, fellow tribesmen!
Now I'm the great deputy chief.
Ah, what has this generation come to?
All they want to do is play
with bugs and with pebbles.
When I was his age, I could take on
a mammoth with a spear all by myself.
And my son doesn't even know
the first thing about shooting.
O, Great Bird from Beyond!
We were destined to meet!
You're a boon to our world,
We bow down at your feet!
Like a magic wand,
You'll do wonders so neat!
Our Great Bird from Beyond!
Our Great Bird from Beyond!
Well that's enough, my friends.
I'm very honored by this
and so on and so forth.
Hey, why do they call you
great bird from beyond?
And where's your home?
You're not from around here.
You can tell, huh?
You're right, my home is there.
You see, far out in space, there's
a wonderful planet called Krakesh.
Krakesh was cold and empty
before my favorite relatives settled it.
I mean, we can go on
without food or air for months,
but more importantly,
we can transform planets.
Oh hey look, maybe Tink
also wants to participate.
Oh, great bird from beyond.
Yeah, and one sad day, a
barrage of asteroids hit Krakesh.
My parents and siblings did
their best to protect the planet.
For ages, I drifted in
the space we call cosmos.
A moon shower froze
me to the tip of my tail.
The next bit of the
story's my favorite.
Well, had I not accidentally
been cast onto your lovely planet,
I would be drifting
like a great iceberg
through the emptiness
of outer space.
Oh, great bird from beyond.
Oh, okay, my friends,
thank you very much.
Please stop now, okay.
Yeah, I wish I could be the
first man to explore your cosmos.
Maybe then I could
win my dad's approval.
Eh, never mind.
Humans won't even get there for
another couple thousand years.
Hey, hey, hey, human, human, wake up.
Don't make a sound.
Please help me, the
meerkats are keeping me here.
They won't let me leave.
Hush, be quiet, human.
Hush, hush, hush.
What happened is when I
turned the mouse into an elephant,
the meerkats saw it went totally crazy.
And when I told them that I
came from the distant stars,
they got terribly agitated.
They started singing,
oh great bird from beyond.
Oh, this is terribly exhausting.
-Yeah.
-Oh, but there's more.
They want me to change the world
and give all the power
to them, the meerkats.
Do you know how horrible
that would be, do you?
Oh, you have to help me escape.
I'll grant you any wish you want.
Really?
Can you change my
relatives with your pink puff?
Pish, it's easy peasy.
What do you want me to do?
-Anything at all.
-Let's see, first there's Spring.
That's my sister.
-A real know-it-all.
-Okay.
I want you to make her do what I say.
Number two is my dad.
Make him a bit nicer.
Okay.
You should also do what I say.
-And finally--
-Quiet, please be quiet.
Now let me guess, you want
them to do whatever you say.
What a predictable
little human you are.
Very well, you got it.
Consider it done. So be it.
Yeah, so do we have a deal?
Yes, yes, of course we do.
I swear by a planet.
But how do we get out of here?
We are surrounded by mountains.
Oh yes, they're impassable.
But we can jump over them.
Jump over them?
I do in fact have an idea, but
I do need your help, human.
Do you see that Boulder over there?
That way, there.
And there.
There.
Okay.
Rule number two, make tight knots.
-Sure, the flyaway man.
-Well done.
It's a good thing you're
not gonna overstay.
You're welcome, human.
It was a pleasure to meet
all of you, but I'm a busy man.
I'm the flyaway man.
And I'm saying bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Tink.
Oh, okay, I'll see
you soon then, human,
with whom I have not made
any secret arrangements.
Goodbye for now.
Yeah, good luck.
And I suggest you don't
blather about this place.
You have Maracuda's word.
I don't need your word.
Just keep your mouth shut.
All right, on the count of three.
One.
And two.
Two and a half and a little bit.
Go!
Come on!
Come on, you've got this!
It's not working for some reason.
Can anyone help me?
These humans are so incompetent.
The great bird from beyond
will lend you a hand.
Useless human.
Oh, great bird from beyond!
Hold my drink.
I'll show you how it's done, human.
Bad chieftain, you let the
great bird from beyond go!
Bad chieftain!
Friends, friends, dear friends.
The great bird from beyond
went to his home planet
so that later he can
come back for all of us.
Let's wish him the best
of luck in his travels.
He has become the
great bird flying home.
The great bird flying home!
The great bird flying home,
we'll be waiting for you!
Uh, what's next?
I ask you that.
Will he forget how to hunt?
Maracuda, why can't
you be just like me?
Where have you gone to?
-Maracuda!
-Papa!
Spring, Spring, wait, wait for me.
That's one heavy
basket, I will help you.
How?
Weren't you busy leading the tribe?
Deputy Chief.
You should understand,
the whole day has gone by
and it seems that your
dad met a soil worm
and it won't come back, so
the tribe needs a new leader.
-That should be me.
-Oh really?
As you know, a good leader
needs a good wife.
So take it, it's a good flower.
I agree, yeah.
That only one day has gone by.
My dad and Maracuda
will be back soon enough.
So save your breath.
We did it!
We did it!
Take that, you stupid meerkats!
Well, it's been a
pleasure working with you.
That was quite the escape.
But I'll be going now.
A whole new world awaits.
Okay, goodbye.
-Hey, where are you going?
-What's that?
You promised you would Grant my wish.
Well, you see, the thing
is, I don't really know how to.
You tricked me, didn't you?
What? I? Tricked you?
-Yes, yes, I tricked you.
-My dad is there.
That's right, it's a
little bit complicated.
You promised he would do as I say.
I can't control my
pink puff on your planet.
My planet is far away.
It's in space, don't you understand?
And I also lost my tuk-tuk and--
oh, oh no, they've spotted us!
Maracuda!
Father?
Ah, oh no, I did it again.
-Where's my father?
-I told you, I told you.
-Father.
-This was going to happen.
I didn't want to do this. This was
your idea, I was completely against it.
Hey, Maracuda!
You dad?
Oh, my boy.
You've grown a lot in two days.
But nevermind that, I found you
and I'm going back to the
village with you and that's it.
Enough of your foolishness, Maracuda.
Dad, are you sure you want to go
back to the village looking like this?
I mean, you're turned
into a huge caterpillar.
What?
You're talking nonsense.
Who are you calling a caterpillar?
Well, what are these?
Are these my hands?
Where are my legs?
Am I walking on my hands?
And why is everything so large?
That would mean that
you didn't grow up.
Well, that would mean
that I, myself shrank.
Bubbly boxing buffalo!
Tink?
Well, I never got any
complaints before.
Well, you're just not seeing
the benefits of this situation.
What is this chicken talking about?
Was it him that did this to me?
Hands and feet, what a feat.
This chicken looks strangely familiar.
Have I hunted you before?
Tink, the joke stopped being funny.
Come on, reverse the transformation.
But I already told you,
I can only control my pink puff
when I'm on my planet.
But when I'm on your planet,
I can easily make things worse.
Look at this.
You see?
Okay, I didn't get the trick
with the flower and the bone.
What is the chicken trying to say?
That you were going to
have to live your life like this.
Think, think, think.
This is so cool.
Hey, you have nothing better to do?
Go over there and get
me an apple over there.
Sure. One moment.
One moment.
That one.
Next to it. No, no. On the right.
Come on, I'm hungry.
Come on.
Are you telling me that
you can't jump high enough?
Come on, it's right there.
Hands and feet, what a feat.
You're incapable of picking
an apple from an apple tree.
I can't believe that you're my son.
Maracuda, how many times have I told
you that you have to keep training?
It's the only way to
become a strong warrior...
Father.
Father, where are you?
Did he die?
What a moleskin mess.
Hey, I hope this chicken can figure out
how to turn me back
into a human, you know?
I don't enjoy being a
fat, stupid caterpillar.
Though I do enjoy scratching
myself with all these limbs.
Oh, I know.
I've got an idea.
Okay, okay. I know. I know.
Okay, get up now. Get up now.
Okay, please come on, get up.
I wrap my brain right now, like this.
I thought that if we go to my planet,
then my relatives can help us out.
What do you think?
Uh, where are we supposed to go now?
And also how?
Yeah, I didn't think
that part through.
What if, Tink, what if in
the um, I forgot the word.
It starts with co, like co, co, co.
-Coconut?
-Crocodile?
-Cobra?
-Cobweb? Coral? Cocoon?
-Are we gonna play the name game?
-I got it. Cosmos!
What if we go there
to the mountaintop?
The cosmos is close.
Would you be able to
control your pink stuff?
That's a mountain?
I doubt it.
I don't know.
No, I don't think that'll work.
I don't know.
I have no doubt.
Matacuda, there's no time
to beat around the bush.
Grab the chicken.
We'll tie him to a tree,
and then we'll squeeze
those puffy cheeks of his
until his magical puff comes out.
Maracuda, that's a wonderful idea.
Of course! The mountain!
The cosmos! The pink puff!
You're a genius!
Let's set out immediately!
We've no time to waste, people.
Okay, now take your dad
and his apple and follow me.
Repeat after me.
Tum, ta-da-dum, tum, tum, tum, tum.
I think my idea was better.
Well?
Can't you stop banging?
It's getting on my nerves.
I will find them.
We'll all be back by
nightfall, Grandma. You'll see!
Yeah, you should go
and look for them, Spring.
'Cause I'm also
starting to get worried.
Men have practical
uses in the family after all.
I'd better go eat some cactuses.
Maracuda!
What?
You again.
Aha came to apologize to Spring.
Aha think we got off to a bad start.
Aha should have started by
saying hello, how are you?
You said it. Now go home.
I don't have time for you.
Aha is very helpful.
Aha can go together.
There's no together.
I can manage on my own.
Then Aha will carry us there.
-Hey, put me down immediately.
-Don't worry.
Aha knows this forest
like the palm of his hand.
It's the back of your hand.
And I don't think you
know the forest that well.
The mission's on track.
Soon, Dad will be back.
I'm actually
right here, you savages.
-Hey, that nut was mine.
-This one? Sure!
Get it.
You little troublemakers.
Hey, hey, where are your manners?
Don't your parents discipline you?
You, I would put you to work so fast.
Oh, oh, oh, hey, Maracuda.
Actually, I know how you can finally
do something useful for the tribe.
Now that you can understand
the language of the animals,
you can lure them into
our traps around our camp
and the tribe will
never go hungry again.
How can I lure the animals?
I can't hurt someone I talk to.
-Why not?
-No, I don't want to trap anyone.
Are you defying an
order from the chieftain,
who is also your father?
Now you're in trouble, young man.
You'll regret speaking to me in
this manner. Do you hear me?
What is this, a tunnel?
How fortuitous.
I don't want to see your face.
Father, there's always a bright side.
Where is this bright side, you fool?
Well, for example, today
we exchange more words
than we did all together
in the previous year.
Stop, I'm not talking to you anymore.
And there's no use knocking.
I'm not coming out.
Hey, Tink, wait for me.
And he calls himself my son,
no shame, no consciences.
Hello?
Who are you, eh?
No, I lived in this house alone for
a long time and no one came to visit.
But today I came out
and you were there.
-What's your name? I am--
-Wait, stop.
I have absolutely nothing
in common with you.
I am not a caterpillar.
You walk like a caterpillar
and talk like a caterpillar,
so you are a caterpillar.
Plus I like you and your funny jokes.
I am not joking.
I am not a fun-loving guy at all.
So go and look for another apple.
You're a keeper, aren't you?
I've always been attracted
to strong-willed caterpillars.
By the way, if we're
going to live together,
I want to repaint the
walls of the apple.
I don't like this shape.
I feel it ages me, don't you think?
-Can't you be quiet?
-Your life is so short.
Can't you stop talking
for at least a little while?
Stop talking!
Just so you know,
I'm not at all toxic.
I can be as silent as you like
and you won't get a word out of me.
Darling, say something
about the wall colour.
Do you like emerald?
Perhaps we shouldn't change anything.
Time goes by so fast.
My tribe!
My tribe!
It was an extremely hard battle.
There were five groups
and it's just on the left.
But I won in the end and
I brought you hot coals.
Your little planet is a rather
deadly place it turns out.
It's nothing but bones
and bones all around.
I prefer my planet.
It's all flowers and flowers and--
Why didn't you go back
to the planet you call home?
Well, the thing is birds of my
species travel using a tuk-tuk.
A little thingy that I lost
when I got to your bony planet.
I do have another option of course.
I can wait for an asteroid
to approach your planet
and when it's close enough,
I jump and hold on.
Oh, I know, I know.
Grandma told me about them.
One of those asteroids
wiped out the dinosaurs.
Oh yeah, totally.
I'd say it's a good thing too.
Because judging by their bones,
they don't look like
very pleasant company,
especially this one.
I hope this one was wiped out.
Ooh, I'm glad it
didn't come back to life
because I hate to imagine
what it could have turned into.
Well, I daresay it
did come back to life.
You know, in some parts,
large parts to be precise.
I'd go so far as to say
completely and utterly, you know?
Run away!
I think someone is chasing us.
-Are you going to rescue me?
-Absolutely not.
You're such a funny guy.
I'm stuck, I'm stuck!
Get me out of here!
Come on, Tink.
Turn him into something.
Uh-huh, you are very
good at making things smaller.
I hope when we get to the
mountain, you'll make my dad larger.
No, no, no, don't look at me.
I'm not edible!
The little guy is hungry.
Would you like a banana?
It's yummy.
Here.
I believe this baby is a meat eater.
What a hungry puppy.
He's not a puppy, he's a monster.
He's on a wholesome diet
because he's going to eat us whole.
No, no, no, stop right there.
Look, I've got a banana.
No, it's a piece of meat.
Do you want to have some banana meat?
Then go fetch it, puppy.
Oh, look, the terrible
monster is running away.
We should be running away too.
Okay, here we go, come on.
I hope that's the last we see of him.
Same for his mother and his father.
-What?
-Oh, no, my dad.
-Hello?
-Wow, dad, you transformed a game.
Don't be stupid.
Now, help me out of this apple.
Oh, are these your friends?
Darling, you never told
me you have human friends.
Oh, your father doesn't
waste any time, does he?
Oh, yes, there, I like the banana.
I'd like to continue my
journey in the banana.
-And what about me?
-Yeah, what about her?
Hang on there.
What are you suggesting?
Put her into the apple.
She was happy in the apple.
She's eating the place clear out.
As you say, you're the leader.
Darling, you need some time apart.
Yeah, I get it.
Commitment in a relationship
may be intimidating.
We are not in a relationship, lady.
Look, the jungle is big.
I'm sure you can find someone else
who would commit.
You never told me your name, cutie.
See you later, caterpillar.
Hmm, in this world, it's
safer to stay banonimous.
Oh, that's the mountain.
Let's hurry.
Oh, please help us.
There is a terrible monster chasing us.
-Oh, yeah.
-I will save you, you helpless beasts.
Unhand me now.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're as thin as
a stick, so I mistook you for a--
Who did you call a stick, huh?
Put me down immediately.
-I'm sorry.
-The nerve!
Oh, for goodness sake.
Please don't turn tame on me now.
I'm not really ready to pet you.
So this is your terrible monster.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he's such a cute little guy.
If I were you, I would
not trust this monster.
I second that.
It is incredibly silly
to trust the first animal
you run into in these
parts of the wood.
But I'm a different story,
I'm so little and non-scary.
I'm afraid of everyone,
but no one's afraid of me.
There's no need to be afraid.
We should be friends and hang out.
Oh, sure, sure.
Let's be friends.
Let's skip the hangout part.
Sit.
Paw.
Who's a good boy?
Give me your other paw.
I can't believe how
smart this little guy is.
Oh, yeah.
The puppy doesn't
look very smart to me.
What?
This is a butterfly.
This can't be the first
time you've seen one.
Oh, it can speak.
All he said was, "Baa, baa."
This is not speaking.
We should teach him proper manners.
Perhaps we could hang
out with this monstrous friend.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, my friend.
When you meet someone in the woods,
you should say, "Hello, how are you?"
Not, "Blah, blah, blah. "
Repeat, "Hello, how are you?"
Hey, what did you do?
Spit it out now.
Come on, it's nasty.
-Nasty.
-Where do you think you're going?
Don't eat grass, it's dirty.
Don't run too fast,
you might trip and fall!
Oh, no.
Don't walk into the puddle.
Great job.
Now, before he eats anybody, the
monster will say, "Hello, how are you?"
Don't worry.
This guy really puts the Q in cuteness.
Rather, he puts
the dine into dinosaur.
So, what are we waiting for?
The mountain is right there.
It's not going to come to us by itself.
Oh, no. Dad, hey!
Let go of my dad! Stop!
Monster!
Don't be afraid, Maracuda,
son of the Great Rock.
This is just a dream.
Down there in the real
world, you are lying flat
and a blue chicken is
slapping you in the face.
Yeah, a very strange sight indeed.
Great-grandfather, is that you?
I thought you'd been
eaten by a soil worm.
Uh, I've got to wake up.
Come on, there was a gigantic bird.
My father died because of me!
Well, that's an overstatement.
Had your father died, Maracuda,
he would be sitting
right here by the campfire
among the souls of
his great ancestors.
But how did I end up here?
You knocked
yourself out, foolish boy.
With a banana, which you
yourself tossed into the air.
Yeah,
despite the fact that you lost the
fire that I had given to your tribe,
I have no doubt that in time to come,
you will do great
service to your kinsmen.
And if you don't, Maracuda,
then my prediction is wrong.
You can go now, Maracuda.
Uh, how about some words of advice?
I'd like to think we met
here for some reason.
Ah, yes.
Your dear grandmother,
Volka, has a big tambourine.
Right, what do I have to do?
Oh, please throw it
into the fire, Maracuda.
Oh, it's that dangerous.
It's not.
I just really despise the thing.
Uh, all right.
Maracuda, oh, are you okay now?
-Where is my father?
-Your father flew away.
Flew where?
Right there, Your dad Rock,
went to that rock.
Put me down, I'm not your lunch.
Who do you think you are?
Hey, I'm the great
Chief Rock, you hear?
You have no idea what I can do to you.
Look me in the eye, look me in the eye.
Let's talk man to bird, okay?
Hey, bird, let me go this instant.
Let me go, I say.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, don't let go.
Don't do it, no, no, no, don't let, no.
Don't do it.
Chieftains are hard to overthrow.
The Rock will not go down
without a fight, you spring chicken.
Okay, was that a surprise?
Man, I will not chicken now.
Bye-bye, ugly duckling.
Huh, what is this,
what is this white stuff
and why is it so sticky?
Huh, hey, what do you want?
Who are you anyway?
Hey, stop, what are you, a coward?
Come on, let's fight
one-on-one, a fair fight.
Why are you running around, huh?
Come back here.
You think I'm in a sticky situation so
you can count on me for a nice dinner?
Come on, come on,
we'll see who's stronger.
We'll come out on top, untie me,
and I'll show you where you're going.
-What is--
-It's you.
Huh, hey, what is this?
Darling, you decided to
come back and save me.
-Not again.
-You're my brave hero.
This was never my intention.
It was a combination of
factors, some coincidence.
Okay, let me see.
Oh, actually, you and me
could do something together.
Go on, be a good girl.
Give me your pinkies.
-We can start--
-A family.
What are you talking
about, crazy lady?
We can combine our weight.
Now come on, come on, come on.
Oh, you're such a romantic guy.
Thank you for taking me for a spin.
Less talking, more spinning.
Your life as a bachelor is hanging
by a thread, and that means--
That means that it's time
to let loose for both of us.
Let loose?
Oh, believe me, that's
exactly what we need to do.
You'll love it, I promise.
Come on, come on.
-Oh, I'm learning it.
-Ah, good for you.
-Don't stop, keep going.
-I can finally let my hair down!
Come on, I believe
we're almost there.
Come on, come on,
one more, right there.
So long, loser.
You cannot catch Rock the chieftain!
Darling, we got
carried away, we're flying.
That's right, that
was my plan all along.
And where will we land?
Oh, my plan didn't go that far.
Where are you going?
Meet me at the bottom!
Yeah, come on.
Hey, Dad, I'm coming.
Hey, that's my father there!
-Darling, we made it together.
-That's right, we made it.
Though my son is not
in a rush to come get me.
Hey, Maracuda, why do you
always make me wait for you?
I'm coming, Dad.
Darling, I would like to share
some very important news with you
and it's not
something funny as usual.
What now?
I know this might come as a shock,
but I think I'm about to experience
what every caterpillar in
this world has to go through.
Um, please stop.
I don't know what you're talking
about because I'm not a caterpillar.
That's right, I've forgotten that
you're in denial of the obvious.
I hope one day you'll accept who you
are and learn to live with yourself.
Accept myself as who?
I'm so confused.
What do you expect me to do?
I'm sorry we're not going
to go through this together.
You took good care of me.
I will cherish this memory.
-What?
-Here it goes.
I am about to become...
A butterfly!
Um, you?
Butterflies, they go like this
or like that and you go like this.
-Are you not aware?
-Of what?
Every caterpillar, well,
if they don't get eaten,
turns into a chrysalis first
and then into a butterfly!
Um, what?
Are you serious?
I mean, I might not be
the most observant guy,
but to miss something major like that,
I mean, you'd really have to...
I would notice something--
Are you for real?
Things change, you
know, for such is life.
And this human, you call
your son for some reason.
The one you yell at and stomp
your feet at, he will change too.
-Really?
-All too soon, but for now...
...you've got to love him
the way he is.
Um, uh, um, I've got to
tell you something, Pink.
What I wanted to say was that
thanks to you, I also am changing.
She was serious.
Oh, so long, Pink Lady.
I am really going to miss you.
Hi, Dad.
My son.
It's you again.
Oh, here it goes.
Oh, wow, that's a lot of fire.
I still cannot believe it.
You've got to tell your
mama, my little snugglebug.
The girl's as pretty as a turnip.
Why did you bring her here?
You are the laughing
stock of the village.
But Spring is not a turnip.
Don't argue with your mama.
Mama knows better.
Mama also reminds you that
you, my precious snugglebug,
have a perfect bride
already, The Little Mag.
A gentle young woman with a sweet
disposition
from a solidly built family.
And being the leader's son, my
snugglebug
must make the right decision.
There's no need to make a choice.
I don't need your precious snugglebug.
You see, my son, the girl turned you
down and you were calling her smart.
-Mother.
-...and a sight for sore eyes.
-Mother.
-And the best girl in the whole world.
-But mom.
-Don't "Mom" me!
Aw, he's such a shy baby.
Took after his Mom.
Excuse me, could you please
give me some fire for my tribe?
Nope, too bad, so sad.
Can't help you, little turnip.
I'd be happy to give you
fire, but we don't have enough.
There's nothing extra,
it's in short supply.
See, what did I say?
Perhaps I could talk
to your tribe's leader.
My little turnip, who do
you think you're talking to?
Mama is the leader, the
leader of Largos tribe.
Only backward tribes
maintain strictly male leadership.
Suit yourselves.
I'll return to my backward tribe.
Great idea, move those little feet.
Happy travels, little turnip.
Hey Spring!
This is for you.
It's a gift for your tribe.
Aha is giving our fire away
to this weakling?
And where is her fur?
She's like a branch
that has lost its leaves.
Are you sick or something?
I am sick.
She showed her.
Aha can live with no fur.
But with no Spring, he cannot.
Aha was going to marry Little Mag.
I'm gonna cry.
Aha never say yes.
You know what keeps me warm?
The wind of change in my face.
Home sweet home, I'm coming.
Cheer up, my boy.
That's right.
What say you, Tink?
Is there a surge of power you can feel?
This cosmos, is it working?
Yes, yes, it's working really well.
The surge of power is
really out of this world.
I can feel it.
Oh yeah, right now.
Well then, do the pink puff.
Well, you know guys, maybe
we should look for higher ground.
I mean, I don't want to
blow the whole thing up.
I don't know, the
sky's the limit, you know?
Come on, do the pink puff.
What's the problem?
Yeah, sure.
Whatever you say, we can do it here.
But we still need to wait till dark.
Yes, that's right.
-And once we see the stars, then--
-All right, chicken, listen up.
-I'm running out of patience, let's go.
-Right, I understand. Yes, yes.
Now I really need to focus.
Don't distract me, I'm focusing.
Zoom in, out, in.
And make sure you don't
mess it up this time, you hear?
I'm ready for the big change.
I want to become human.
-Are you sure?
-Completely.
No problem.
Maracuda, say farewell to
your father and step aside.
What?
I mean, I'm gonna say
farewell to your caterpillar, father.
Come on, blow.
This is bad.
Wait, wait, wait, what's going on?
This is my blow!
Tink, you there?
The surge of power was supposed
to be out of this world, not in it.
Oh, am I missing something?
Will I spend the rest
of my life like this?
-No.
-This is the end.
No, no, Tink.
You cannot do this to us.
You made a promise.
You tricked me again, didn't you?
Tink, talk to me, please.
Hey, what are you doing?
Maracuda, don't lose the egg.
-No, no, no.
-Don't lose your dad either.
Father.
Tink.
What is Spring's favorite flower?
A cactus.
For Aha, it's dandelion.
You can blow and sneeze.
And what is Spring's favorite color?
-Red, like fire.
-And for Aha, it is blue, like the sky.
So, we're here.
It's time to say goodbye.
And why do we say goodbye?
Aha is here. Fire is here.
Well, how do I put it?
Not enough fire.
There is not enough
fire between us, Aha.
Aha understand.
Not enough fire for Spring.
Goodbye, Aha from the Largos tribe.
Well goodbye, my Spring.
Not enough fire.
What's wrong with me?
Am I really upset?
Focus, girl!
Wait!
Stop!
Maracuda?
You're back, my little brother.
Uh, hello there, sister.
And where's our dad?
Oh, this is so embarrassing.
You could have told her
that I got eaten by a soil worm.
What's he saying?
Well, so happy to see his daughter.
If this is Dad, nobody
should see him in this state.
Even our grandmother.
I would say especially
our grandmother.
That's bad.
That's quite a shock.
And you meant to keep this from me.
Oh no, to be honest son,
getting eaten by a soil worm
would have been a mercy.
-Granny!
-What? He would have died a hero.
What are we going to do now?
We'd lose all our privileges, the
separate cave, the choice cuts of meat,
and that full clubfoot will
become the new chieftain.
Why would he become chieftain?
It's not his place.
Oh, I can't rely on anybody.
Gotta do something.
Maracuda!
Call a tribe meeting quick.
Stop tapping like that.
I'll do all the talking.
You just repeat what I say.
I still cannot believe we lost him.
Our Rock.
It feels as if he was here
right now, looking at all of us.
A fine performance.
These vile soil worms
have caused us so much grief.
They take the best of us.
Maracuda, I fell out.
Thank you.
By the way, would anyone
like to take his fishing rods?
I'll give you a nice deal, huh?
Hey, hey, those are my fishing rods.
What do you mean a nice deal?
What does she think she's doing?
Maracuda, tell her to keep
her paws off my fishing rods.
I would...
Folks, I'm really
sorry that my father
unfortunately got on the
wrong side of a soil worm.
Rock was...
Ah, right.
Rock was a very good soil worm.
I mean, warm.
And a loving man, yes.
He was a great and stern leader.
But life goes on, yeah.
That's all that you were
going to say about me? Fine.
And now, eyebrows together.
One foot forward.
Use your firmest voice
and repeat what I say.
That means that I...
That means that I, Maracuda,
will be your leader in his stead.
Tell them all to be quiet now.
Uh, be quiet.
Maracuda, you've got
to say be quiet way louder.
Louder!
That was much better.
You know, guys, in my adventures
and travels, I learned something vital.
We spent so much time
building defenses against foes,
while in reality, the wood
is where you make friends.
No, no, no, no, what's that?
I never said anything like that.
I feel it in my heart that my
father would agree with me.
A moving speech.
But why should you
become chieftain, hmm?
It was Maracuda's fault
that our fire was gone, hmm?
I brought us fire.
You brought fire,
but you were too late.
While you two wandered who
knows where and wasted your time,
it was I who risked his
life to bring us new fire.
I saved the tribe, I saved everyone.
So the chieftain stone will be mine,
and this cave will be mine,
these fishing rods will be mine,
and you Spring, you too will be mine.
-Oh, really?
-That's the law of life.
Am I right, my newly saved tribe?
-Clubfoot is making sense.
-No, he's not making sense.
Why is Aha trying
to wake the fire mountain?
Aha's heart is bursting with love.
But Spring is saying there is
not enough fire between us.
Aha will force the
mountain to give the fire.
My Spring, all this fire I give to you.
Now the entire tribe will
burn including this Spring girl.
Love make Aha blind!
Spring!
-He's making sense.
-He's not making sense.
He is not right.
-He is right.
-I said he is not right.
You are right.
You let Maracuda be
the new chieftain.
What's going on?
Come on, come on.
We have angered our ancestors.
Well then, tonight we'll be saying
hello to the dinosaurs, my lads.
Don't worry,
grandmother, I'm with you.
Maracuda, you have a plan?
Well, I wouldn't
really call them plans.
But I have an idea.
Listen up, tribe, do as I command.
You know our rule number
two, make tight knots.
Tight knots?
-What's next, chieftain?
-A stick.
I need a long stick immediately.
-Martha?
-She volunteered to do it.
The fate of humankind
is at stake, so I can take it.
No one can do this better than you.
I could try to be
modest, but you're right.
Why did I volunteer?
-Spring!
-It's you again.
Put your fears aside,
it's time to ride.
See you on the
other side, little brother.
Got you.
Who's next?
I don't know if I can trust
you as far as you can throw me.
You have to, father.
-Maracuda!
-My son!
Maracuda, come back!
Does he want to give me a heart attack?
Where does he think he's going?
Tink, we've got to get out of here.
Hurry up!
Sister, I've got to
get my friend to safety.
-Explain later! Come, on, climb!
-Hurry up, Maracuda!
Hands and feet, what a feat!
Dump the stupid bird,
you've got to save yourself!
Maracuda, there's no time!
No, no, no, little brother.
Oh, I cannot bear to watch this.
Tink, I need you now!
Great grandfather.
What do you mean, great grandfather?
Do I really look that old?
I mean, come on, it's me, Tink!
Here I am!
Where am I, then?
Where are you? Well, you, my
friend, are in some fiery volcanic lava
heated to a temperature of,
just one second, let me...
The temperature is 1,200 degrees!
Why do you look so worried?
Hey, relax, man!
My ancestors transformed planet!
I mean, do you think I'd have
trouble with volcanic magma?
You found it, my tuk-tuk!
This means I can
control my pink puff again!
He's alive!
Here.
Hey, do you want your apple back?
You know, sometimes it's
hard to come out of the apple.
Surprise!
Have you missed your old chieftain?
Have you?
You'd better watch it.
I don't get it.
The moment you step away, they
start giving out your fishing rods
and provoking all kinds
of natural disasters.
Yeah.
But despite all the odds,
Maracuda saved us all.
You demonstrated great courage,
dedication, and wit, you know?
Just like I did in my younger days.
I'm really proud of you, my son.
Hey, I was just keeping your
place warm, oh great chieftain Rock.
I always knew that you would return.
I may have overstepped
and overdone things, Rock.
You should leave.
You mean leave as in go away?
Or away as in away or
leave and come home?
Don't come home.
All right then, I will go.
Yeah.
Hey, watch this.
Pretty cool, right? I know.
Thank you for coming to our rescue.
Aha only want to bring
enough fire to you.
All right.
I've never seen so much fire before.
Forgive me, Spring.
It was Aha who woke
up the fire mountain.
You woke up a mountain?
You're funny, Fuzzball.
-Dad.
-My son.
Oh, why hello.
I have a feeling that I know you.
Oh, look at that.
Such a sweet and touching reunion.
I believe an old acquaintance
needs a bright new shape.
No, no, no, no.
Thank you, but no thank you.
Let's leave things the way they are.
Let's not tamper with nature.
He will, he will come back.
Yeah.
He did come back.
The great bird who came for us.
The great bird who came for us.
Who came for us.
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
Crash the magic wand
Kill the wonders so neat
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
Oh, greetings!
Oh, distinguished representatives
of a life form yet unfamiliar to me.
Will you be so kind and tell me
which galaxy this planet is in?
I hate to ask this question,
but at what level is
your civilization exactly?
Oh my.
Aha, I see now, huh?
Oh, the tuk tuk is
safer with me, I think.
Hey, how dare you?
What do you think you're doing?
Hey, hey, hey, get back off me.
Get your paws off me.
I represent the highest stage
of evolution. Don't touch me.
Wait, ah!
Oh my goodness,
what have I done to you?
Oh, well you're just different.
That's good.
My arms are bare.
My tail fell off.
The feather fell off.
A feather, that's mine.
A gift from me.
I'd like you to keep it as
a souvenir of our meeting.
You know, this was
my pink puff in action.
I sped up your evolution.
A shining example of progress.
I have high hopes that now
we will find common ground.
Get lunch!
Lunch?
Get lunch!
What?
No, no, no, no!
Is this how you made me?
I gave you intelligence.
Get away from me.
Help me, anybody!
All clear.
All clear.
-All clear!
-All is clear!
Grandma!
Hello, how are you, home?
But where is Maracuda?
Maracuda!
Martha, I found
some very nice berries.
Dad will be proud.
He might even say I did well.
Ah, Martha, you stupid animal.
Look what you've done.
I am trying my best for the tribe.
Like you'd have anything else to say.
Martha, look here!
This thing shows you as well.
Maracuda!
Coming.
Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in.
Hey, look at that, Martha.
Everyone is here.
Huh, Maracuda!
Why do you always lag behind?
I didn't, though.
I found a bush...
...full of ripe, juicy berries.
So I stopped to pick them 'cause, well,
who but this chieftain's son
should provide
food and drink for the entire tribe.
It's my treat.
This is spurge laurel.
The berries are poisonous.
What? Poisonous?
Of course they are.
I knew that.
This was actually the reason
I picked them.
-I didn't want anyone to eat them.
-I don't trust a single word you say.
Dad, thanks for giving me a
stupid brother to highlight my wit.
But really, I would have
been just fine as an only child.
Clubfoot, throw these berries
as far away as you possibly can.
Yes, we have found a new home.
But you should be wary. On the
other side of these mighty walls,
ruthless and cunning enemies
might be lurking right now.
So we will set up traps
all around the camp to protect us.
Well, you get the idea.
My dad is our stern leader
and I am his only son.
That's why he wants me to
become the leader of the tribe too.
Meeeh yourself.
My sister Spring is the
best warrior in our tribe.
That's my apple.
World is unfair.
As you can tell,
we get along really well.
And this is my grandma.
Her name is Volga.
She really likes them prickly.
Edible cacti, guys.
Beetles and apples.
We will never go hungry again.
Yeah, we're always hungry.
But in the Stone Age, you
have to follow certain rules
if you don't want to get in trouble.
Rule number one.
Don't shove everything you find
into your mouth.
Rule number two.
Make tight knots.
They always come in handy.
Perfect.
-The fling trap is ready.
-Oh, that's right.
But we need to test it first.
Yeah, you're always right.
Great leader.
This is Clubfoot.
Dad loves him like his own son.
Clubfoot.
Such an essential member of our tribe.
I doubt we will ever get along.
Good job.
Clubfoot feels the same, I think.
And finally, rule number three.
Keep the campfire burning at all times.
Throw in some kindling and
never take your eyes off it.
Today is my turn.
Hey, who are you
goofing around in here?
So the Stripe Beetle is ahead.
He is swiftly gaining the lead.
Hey, back to the racing track.
All right.
Woo, he's going so fast,
my ears are raking.
And we're approaching the finish line.
It's not getting up back here.
Who's gonna come out on top today?
Hey, where are you going?
You're supposed to stay.
Hey, come back this second.
You're disrupting the race.
What a shame.
You believed you could escape.
You cannot sabotage the race.
Nope, nope, nope.
There's no escaping from Maracuda.
Maracuda!
Soilworm, swallow me.
We lost our fire!
Maracuda!
Granny, what happened?
How did this happen?
It kind of died down a bit.
No biggie, I'll get it going.
All it takes is a little blowing.
I'm working on it.
It's already burning.
What is this dreadful sound?
Come out, monster.
We will give you a fight.
Who are you?
Me? I'm Aha.
Huh, that's an ugly name.
And what are you
doing in our cave, big guy?
Aha always sleeps in his
cave when Aha needs to think.
So it makes you a thinker.
Yeah, this morning
Aha saw a pretty butterfly
and then Aha thought, why do
butterflies fly, but humans don't?
Any bright ideas?
A butterfly uses butter to fly,
but humans eat butter.
What a flesh of genius.
So from what I understood,
you're done thinking.
No thoughts left behind?
Well then, so long, fuzzball.
No, no, this is my thinking cave.
So long to you.
Have no worry, sister.
It is time to throw my weight around.
Go away while I'm offering
to set things right peacefully.
Hey, you were talking to
Maracuda, the leader's son.
Aha is also leader's son.
Weight-wise,
we are in different leagues.
Hey, hang on.
Was it you who put out our fire?
I will teach you, you hairy thinker.
Aha didn't put the fire out, but
Aha can give you fire from home.
Aha's village has lots of fire.
Oh yeah?
Oh fuzzball, and what would
you like in exchange for the fire?
We have a Wolverine pelt,
or maybe some ostrich eggs.
Maybe you would like this stuff.
You can talk to it.
Aha would like a...
...wife.
Fine, I say yes.
I'll be your wife.
Not you.
Seriously?
Honey, without fire, we're done for.
Granny!
How dare you?
Don't even dream of
marrying my granddaughter.
You're still wet behind
the ears, big boy.
But Aha thought his ears were dry.
Yes, fuzzball.
Think about it, but do
it in another cave. Go!
You want the stone?
When solid white water
falls from the sky,
all of you will shiver
and your teeth will go.
And then you will be begging
Aha to come back with fire.
Come back, little flame.
Without fire, we're done for.
Yeah, power is a heavy burden.
I don't know how he did it.
-Who?
-Your great grandfather.
He gave us fire before
he made the soil warm.
You scared me there, you bear.
-Good evening, everyone. Am I on time?
-Come on, we're just starting.
Aren't family meetings
limited to, you know, family?
Now, daughter, Clubfoot
is practically one of us.
-He often comes up with brilliant ideas.
-Is that so?
Maracuda!
You deny that it was you who
put out the campfire with water.
This is not very manly.
I don't know what to say in
my defense, but it wasn't me.
Enough! I'm sick of your lies.
This is far more serious
than your stupid toys.
And the fact that you chickened
out in front of that fuzzball...
Uh-uh, whatever.
It's despicable for a future chieftain!
-I didn't chicken out.
-Then what did you do?
-I tried to negotiate with him.
-About what?
Your sister was being
threatened by that brute.
You should have been
attacking that fuzz ball.
Right, uh-uh.
And bash his brains out.
Dad, I'm afraid he doesn't
have any brains.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that
because of you, our tribe lost the fire.
Your great grandfather
would have banished you.
It would only be fair.
Well, if it's fair, I will
leave the tribe willingly.
Ha ha, you're right.
I bet you apples that you'll
run back home after 20 paces.
No, I am not running home.
-Oh, really?
-I made up my mind.
-I'm done with you.
-So, I say goodbye.
Oh great chieftain!
I promise that before winter
comes, I will find fire for the tribe.
I will go above and beyond to get it.
You see this?
Let me hug you, Clubfoot!
You're like the son I never had!
Even closer.
Oh, that's 10 paces already.
Martha?
Yeah, only you understand me.
Did he actually leave?
That'll teach him.
Let him spend the night in the wild.
He'll come running back
in the morning. Just you wait.
Your sister looks more
like a warrior than you.
Yeah, well, so what?
Fine, that's right. Fire is important.
But how about a son?
Is he not important?
They brush me off like an annoying fly.
Hello.
Fire, fire, fire!
Fire?
I'm gonna find fire for our tribe!
My dad will be proud of the son
he almost cast away.
There are no obstacles
that can break me down!
Hey, Lightning.
Come on, give me more fire.
Cool. Thank you.
Please don't go out, little flame.
Please don't go out.
Oh, no, a trap.
This water's very nice.
A good dip for good sleep.
Hello?
What was it?
Oh, you see, to be honest,
I don't often get a lot of visitors,
and as you know, and
well, what happened,
I was, well, caught unaware
and slightly overreacted.
Okay, all right.
Well, okay, let's bury the body
and just be done with it. Right?
Okay, okay, okay.
Who knew this would happen, huh?
Oh, look at this!
Oh, he's alive!
All right, the burial's canceled.
You're dismissed.
So, no drama today.
Okay, so, let me see.
My pink puff hasn't changed
anything by the looks of it.
Hmm, strange.
-He doesn't have a tail.
-He didn't grow any wings.
Why would I grow wings all of a sudden?
You know how these things go.
He changed not on the
outside, but on the inside.
You understand the
language of animals, don't you?
-We have to wait King Pow Pow!
-Right, right, right!
What in the world is happening here?
I'm hearing voices in my head.
Keep calm, my friend, you're
about to discover a whole new world.
And I was like, listen, kid.
Daddy's hard at work all day. Can I
just have a lie-down in the evening?
Oh, hello. You would know
when lunchtime is, would you?
Stop! Come back up.
Oh, a human?
You can speak our language?
I've never seen an elephant
burrowing in the ground like a mouse.
Actually, I used to be a little mouse.
So, I tried to hide in a tunnel,
but I'm an elephant now.
Yeah, a nice trunk you've got.
My trunk? I'm loving it.
It's a spare hand and a shower.
You can also blow
your nose pretty loud.
But if you were little,
how did you become so big?
Are you jealous?
This is Tink's work.
I transformed after he
blew his pink puff at me.
Tink, who is this Tink?
Yeah, really, who
is this Tink fellow?
I am Tink.
Can you really do that?
Turn a mouse into an elephant?
That's the power of my pink puff.
It can change anyone you want.
And you, you got to understand
the language of animals.
It's fun, right?
For you, I am happy to make
your acquaintance. Cheers.
Hey, human.
Why are you here?
Did you come to snatch away our Tink?
He's our bird from beyond.
-Oh, great bird from beyond.
-Great bird from beyond.
Hey, my dear friends, let us be civil.
Please take it down a notch.
There is no need to yell.
Don't hurt him.
The human is my guest.
I gather Maracuda
didn't come back after all.
He's too cheeky for his own good.
An adult in the modern stone age
needs to understand
that I have to be stern
as chief of this tribe.
So what if I'm his father?
It means I have to be
even harder on him.
I look after the tribe and
the livestock of the tribe
and the old women of the tribe.
-Mother!
-Don't mother me.
Look, aren't these drawings gorgeous?
The art of an ancient tribe.
You call this art?
They can't even draw
a chicken properly.
Don't you be so nervous.
Mind you, the women in our family
have always kept their wits about them.
I remember when that soilworm
ate your grandfather.
Don't start that.
I remember the story.
When that soilworm ate him, my mom
sat by the campfire for a long time.
A year later, she got up and said,
"I think someone is missing."
Everyone bust out laughing.
Wittiness. This is what keeps us
going when the going gets tough.
And you, what are you sulking about?
You have a cave of your own now.
Yeah, but it doesn't make me happy.
If Maracuda was here,
I wouldn't let him into my room.
I'd throw his toys away.
But now we don't know where he is.
He could have met another soilworm
and carried on the family tradition.
-Mother!
-Don't mother me.
I think I should go
and search for my son.
This is a manly decision.
You're doing the right thing, Rock.
You're doing what a
great chief would do.
What exactly am I doing?
Well, you're gonna search for
your wayward son, like a real hero.
Me?
But I mean, as chief
and father, made a final decision.
Ooh, great leader.
Your brave deed will go down in legend.
They'll sing songs in your honor,
which is why, great Rock,
the sooner you'll meet
your doom and die,
commit a heroic deed, the better.
Okay, all right.
I am going out.
And as for you, Clubfoot,
I know I can rely on you.
You will be my deputy chief.
Good news, fellow tribesmen!
Now I'm the great deputy chief.
Ah, what has this generation come to?
All they want to do is play
with bugs and with pebbles.
When I was his age, I could take on
a mammoth with a spear all by myself.
And my son doesn't even know
the first thing about shooting.
O, Great Bird from Beyond!
We were destined to meet!
You're a boon to our world,
We bow down at your feet!
Like a magic wand,
You'll do wonders so neat!
Our Great Bird from Beyond!
Our Great Bird from Beyond!
Well that's enough, my friends.
I'm very honored by this
and so on and so forth.
Hey, why do they call you
great bird from beyond?
And where's your home?
You're not from around here.
You can tell, huh?
You're right, my home is there.
You see, far out in space, there's
a wonderful planet called Krakesh.
Krakesh was cold and empty
before my favorite relatives settled it.
I mean, we can go on
without food or air for months,
but more importantly,
we can transform planets.
Oh hey look, maybe Tink
also wants to participate.
Oh, great bird from beyond.
Yeah, and one sad day, a
barrage of asteroids hit Krakesh.
My parents and siblings did
their best to protect the planet.
For ages, I drifted in
the space we call cosmos.
A moon shower froze
me to the tip of my tail.
The next bit of the
story's my favorite.
Well, had I not accidentally
been cast onto your lovely planet,
I would be drifting
like a great iceberg
through the emptiness
of outer space.
Oh, great bird from beyond.
Oh, okay, my friends,
thank you very much.
Please stop now, okay.
Yeah, I wish I could be the
first man to explore your cosmos.
Maybe then I could
win my dad's approval.
Eh, never mind.
Humans won't even get there for
another couple thousand years.
Hey, hey, hey, human, human, wake up.
Don't make a sound.
Please help me, the
meerkats are keeping me here.
They won't let me leave.
Hush, be quiet, human.
Hush, hush, hush.
What happened is when I
turned the mouse into an elephant,
the meerkats saw it went totally crazy.
And when I told them that I
came from the distant stars,
they got terribly agitated.
They started singing,
oh great bird from beyond.
Oh, this is terribly exhausting.
-Yeah.
-Oh, but there's more.
They want me to change the world
and give all the power
to them, the meerkats.
Do you know how horrible
that would be, do you?
Oh, you have to help me escape.
I'll grant you any wish you want.
Really?
Can you change my
relatives with your pink puff?
Pish, it's easy peasy.
What do you want me to do?
-Anything at all.
-Let's see, first there's Spring.
That's my sister.
-A real know-it-all.
-Okay.
I want you to make her do what I say.
Number two is my dad.
Make him a bit nicer.
Okay.
You should also do what I say.
-And finally--
-Quiet, please be quiet.
Now let me guess, you want
them to do whatever you say.
What a predictable
little human you are.
Very well, you got it.
Consider it done. So be it.
Yeah, so do we have a deal?
Yes, yes, of course we do.
I swear by a planet.
But how do we get out of here?
We are surrounded by mountains.
Oh yes, they're impassable.
But we can jump over them.
Jump over them?
I do in fact have an idea, but
I do need your help, human.
Do you see that Boulder over there?
That way, there.
And there.
There.
Okay.
Rule number two, make tight knots.
-Sure, the flyaway man.
-Well done.
It's a good thing you're
not gonna overstay.
You're welcome, human.
It was a pleasure to meet
all of you, but I'm a busy man.
I'm the flyaway man.
And I'm saying bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Tink.
Oh, okay, I'll see
you soon then, human,
with whom I have not made
any secret arrangements.
Goodbye for now.
Yeah, good luck.
And I suggest you don't
blather about this place.
You have Maracuda's word.
I don't need your word.
Just keep your mouth shut.
All right, on the count of three.
One.
And two.
Two and a half and a little bit.
Go!
Come on!
Come on, you've got this!
It's not working for some reason.
Can anyone help me?
These humans are so incompetent.
The great bird from beyond
will lend you a hand.
Useless human.
Oh, great bird from beyond!
Hold my drink.
I'll show you how it's done, human.
Bad chieftain, you let the
great bird from beyond go!
Bad chieftain!
Friends, friends, dear friends.
The great bird from beyond
went to his home planet
so that later he can
come back for all of us.
Let's wish him the best
of luck in his travels.
He has become the
great bird flying home.
The great bird flying home!
The great bird flying home,
we'll be waiting for you!
Uh, what's next?
I ask you that.
Will he forget how to hunt?
Maracuda, why can't
you be just like me?
Where have you gone to?
-Maracuda!
-Papa!
Spring, Spring, wait, wait for me.
That's one heavy
basket, I will help you.
How?
Weren't you busy leading the tribe?
Deputy Chief.
You should understand,
the whole day has gone by
and it seems that your
dad met a soil worm
and it won't come back, so
the tribe needs a new leader.
-That should be me.
-Oh really?
As you know, a good leader
needs a good wife.
So take it, it's a good flower.
I agree, yeah.
That only one day has gone by.
My dad and Maracuda
will be back soon enough.
So save your breath.
We did it!
We did it!
Take that, you stupid meerkats!
Well, it's been a
pleasure working with you.
That was quite the escape.
But I'll be going now.
A whole new world awaits.
Okay, goodbye.
-Hey, where are you going?
-What's that?
You promised you would Grant my wish.
Well, you see, the thing
is, I don't really know how to.
You tricked me, didn't you?
What? I? Tricked you?
-Yes, yes, I tricked you.
-My dad is there.
That's right, it's a
little bit complicated.
You promised he would do as I say.
I can't control my
pink puff on your planet.
My planet is far away.
It's in space, don't you understand?
And I also lost my tuk-tuk and--
oh, oh no, they've spotted us!
Maracuda!
Father?
Ah, oh no, I did it again.
-Where's my father?
-I told you, I told you.
-Father.
-This was going to happen.
I didn't want to do this. This was
your idea, I was completely against it.
Hey, Maracuda!
You dad?
Oh, my boy.
You've grown a lot in two days.
But nevermind that, I found you
and I'm going back to the
village with you and that's it.
Enough of your foolishness, Maracuda.
Dad, are you sure you want to go
back to the village looking like this?
I mean, you're turned
into a huge caterpillar.
What?
You're talking nonsense.
Who are you calling a caterpillar?
Well, what are these?
Are these my hands?
Where are my legs?
Am I walking on my hands?
And why is everything so large?
That would mean that
you didn't grow up.
Well, that would mean
that I, myself shrank.
Bubbly boxing buffalo!
Tink?
Well, I never got any
complaints before.
Well, you're just not seeing
the benefits of this situation.
What is this chicken talking about?
Was it him that did this to me?
Hands and feet, what a feat.
This chicken looks strangely familiar.
Have I hunted you before?
Tink, the joke stopped being funny.
Come on, reverse the transformation.
But I already told you,
I can only control my pink puff
when I'm on my planet.
But when I'm on your planet,
I can easily make things worse.
Look at this.
You see?
Okay, I didn't get the trick
with the flower and the bone.
What is the chicken trying to say?
That you were going to
have to live your life like this.
Think, think, think.
This is so cool.
Hey, you have nothing better to do?
Go over there and get
me an apple over there.
Sure. One moment.
One moment.
That one.
Next to it. No, no. On the right.
Come on, I'm hungry.
Come on.
Are you telling me that
you can't jump high enough?
Come on, it's right there.
Hands and feet, what a feat.
You're incapable of picking
an apple from an apple tree.
I can't believe that you're my son.
Maracuda, how many times have I told
you that you have to keep training?
It's the only way to
become a strong warrior...
Father.
Father, where are you?
Did he die?
What a moleskin mess.
Hey, I hope this chicken can figure out
how to turn me back
into a human, you know?
I don't enjoy being a
fat, stupid caterpillar.
Though I do enjoy scratching
myself with all these limbs.
Oh, I know.
I've got an idea.
Okay, okay. I know. I know.
Okay, get up now. Get up now.
Okay, please come on, get up.
I wrap my brain right now, like this.
I thought that if we go to my planet,
then my relatives can help us out.
What do you think?
Uh, where are we supposed to go now?
And also how?
Yeah, I didn't think
that part through.
What if, Tink, what if in
the um, I forgot the word.
It starts with co, like co, co, co.
-Coconut?
-Crocodile?
-Cobra?
-Cobweb? Coral? Cocoon?
-Are we gonna play the name game?
-I got it. Cosmos!
What if we go there
to the mountaintop?
The cosmos is close.
Would you be able to
control your pink stuff?
That's a mountain?
I doubt it.
I don't know.
No, I don't think that'll work.
I don't know.
I have no doubt.
Matacuda, there's no time
to beat around the bush.
Grab the chicken.
We'll tie him to a tree,
and then we'll squeeze
those puffy cheeks of his
until his magical puff comes out.
Maracuda, that's a wonderful idea.
Of course! The mountain!
The cosmos! The pink puff!
You're a genius!
Let's set out immediately!
We've no time to waste, people.
Okay, now take your dad
and his apple and follow me.
Repeat after me.
Tum, ta-da-dum, tum, tum, tum, tum.
I think my idea was better.
Well?
Can't you stop banging?
It's getting on my nerves.
I will find them.
We'll all be back by
nightfall, Grandma. You'll see!
Yeah, you should go
and look for them, Spring.
'Cause I'm also
starting to get worried.
Men have practical
uses in the family after all.
I'd better go eat some cactuses.
Maracuda!
What?
You again.
Aha came to apologize to Spring.
Aha think we got off to a bad start.
Aha should have started by
saying hello, how are you?
You said it. Now go home.
I don't have time for you.
Aha is very helpful.
Aha can go together.
There's no together.
I can manage on my own.
Then Aha will carry us there.
-Hey, put me down immediately.
-Don't worry.
Aha knows this forest
like the palm of his hand.
It's the back of your hand.
And I don't think you
know the forest that well.
The mission's on track.
Soon, Dad will be back.
I'm actually
right here, you savages.
-Hey, that nut was mine.
-This one? Sure!
Get it.
You little troublemakers.
Hey, hey, where are your manners?
Don't your parents discipline you?
You, I would put you to work so fast.
Oh, oh, oh, hey, Maracuda.
Actually, I know how you can finally
do something useful for the tribe.
Now that you can understand
the language of the animals,
you can lure them into
our traps around our camp
and the tribe will
never go hungry again.
How can I lure the animals?
I can't hurt someone I talk to.
-Why not?
-No, I don't want to trap anyone.
Are you defying an
order from the chieftain,
who is also your father?
Now you're in trouble, young man.
You'll regret speaking to me in
this manner. Do you hear me?
What is this, a tunnel?
How fortuitous.
I don't want to see your face.
Father, there's always a bright side.
Where is this bright side, you fool?
Well, for example, today
we exchange more words
than we did all together
in the previous year.
Stop, I'm not talking to you anymore.
And there's no use knocking.
I'm not coming out.
Hey, Tink, wait for me.
And he calls himself my son,
no shame, no consciences.
Hello?
Who are you, eh?
No, I lived in this house alone for
a long time and no one came to visit.
But today I came out
and you were there.
-What's your name? I am--
-Wait, stop.
I have absolutely nothing
in common with you.
I am not a caterpillar.
You walk like a caterpillar
and talk like a caterpillar,
so you are a caterpillar.
Plus I like you and your funny jokes.
I am not joking.
I am not a fun-loving guy at all.
So go and look for another apple.
You're a keeper, aren't you?
I've always been attracted
to strong-willed caterpillars.
By the way, if we're
going to live together,
I want to repaint the
walls of the apple.
I don't like this shape.
I feel it ages me, don't you think?
-Can't you be quiet?
-Your life is so short.
Can't you stop talking
for at least a little while?
Stop talking!
Just so you know,
I'm not at all toxic.
I can be as silent as you like
and you won't get a word out of me.
Darling, say something
about the wall colour.
Do you like emerald?
Perhaps we shouldn't change anything.
Time goes by so fast.
My tribe!
My tribe!
It was an extremely hard battle.
There were five groups
and it's just on the left.
But I won in the end and
I brought you hot coals.
Your little planet is a rather
deadly place it turns out.
It's nothing but bones
and bones all around.
I prefer my planet.
It's all flowers and flowers and--
Why didn't you go back
to the planet you call home?
Well, the thing is birds of my
species travel using a tuk-tuk.
A little thingy that I lost
when I got to your bony planet.
I do have another option of course.
I can wait for an asteroid
to approach your planet
and when it's close enough,
I jump and hold on.
Oh, I know, I know.
Grandma told me about them.
One of those asteroids
wiped out the dinosaurs.
Oh yeah, totally.
I'd say it's a good thing too.
Because judging by their bones,
they don't look like
very pleasant company,
especially this one.
I hope this one was wiped out.
Ooh, I'm glad it
didn't come back to life
because I hate to imagine
what it could have turned into.
Well, I daresay it
did come back to life.
You know, in some parts,
large parts to be precise.
I'd go so far as to say
completely and utterly, you know?
Run away!
I think someone is chasing us.
-Are you going to rescue me?
-Absolutely not.
You're such a funny guy.
I'm stuck, I'm stuck!
Get me out of here!
Come on, Tink.
Turn him into something.
Uh-huh, you are very
good at making things smaller.
I hope when we get to the
mountain, you'll make my dad larger.
No, no, no, don't look at me.
I'm not edible!
The little guy is hungry.
Would you like a banana?
It's yummy.
Here.
I believe this baby is a meat eater.
What a hungry puppy.
He's not a puppy, he's a monster.
He's on a wholesome diet
because he's going to eat us whole.
No, no, no, stop right there.
Look, I've got a banana.
No, it's a piece of meat.
Do you want to have some banana meat?
Then go fetch it, puppy.
Oh, look, the terrible
monster is running away.
We should be running away too.
Okay, here we go, come on.
I hope that's the last we see of him.
Same for his mother and his father.
-What?
-Oh, no, my dad.
-Hello?
-Wow, dad, you transformed a game.
Don't be stupid.
Now, help me out of this apple.
Oh, are these your friends?
Darling, you never told
me you have human friends.
Oh, your father doesn't
waste any time, does he?
Oh, yes, there, I like the banana.
I'd like to continue my
journey in the banana.
-And what about me?
-Yeah, what about her?
Hang on there.
What are you suggesting?
Put her into the apple.
She was happy in the apple.
She's eating the place clear out.
As you say, you're the leader.
Darling, you need some time apart.
Yeah, I get it.
Commitment in a relationship
may be intimidating.
We are not in a relationship, lady.
Look, the jungle is big.
I'm sure you can find someone else
who would commit.
You never told me your name, cutie.
See you later, caterpillar.
Hmm, in this world, it's
safer to stay banonimous.
Oh, that's the mountain.
Let's hurry.
Oh, please help us.
There is a terrible monster chasing us.
-Oh, yeah.
-I will save you, you helpless beasts.
Unhand me now.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're as thin as
a stick, so I mistook you for a--
Who did you call a stick, huh?
Put me down immediately.
-I'm sorry.
-The nerve!
Oh, for goodness sake.
Please don't turn tame on me now.
I'm not really ready to pet you.
So this is your terrible monster.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he's such a cute little guy.
If I were you, I would
not trust this monster.
I second that.
It is incredibly silly
to trust the first animal
you run into in these
parts of the wood.
But I'm a different story,
I'm so little and non-scary.
I'm afraid of everyone,
but no one's afraid of me.
There's no need to be afraid.
We should be friends and hang out.
Oh, sure, sure.
Let's be friends.
Let's skip the hangout part.
Sit.
Paw.
Who's a good boy?
Give me your other paw.
I can't believe how
smart this little guy is.
Oh, yeah.
The puppy doesn't
look very smart to me.
What?
This is a butterfly.
This can't be the first
time you've seen one.
Oh, it can speak.
All he said was, "Baa, baa."
This is not speaking.
We should teach him proper manners.
Perhaps we could hang
out with this monstrous friend.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, my friend.
When you meet someone in the woods,
you should say, "Hello, how are you?"
Not, "Blah, blah, blah. "
Repeat, "Hello, how are you?"
Hey, what did you do?
Spit it out now.
Come on, it's nasty.
-Nasty.
-Where do you think you're going?
Don't eat grass, it's dirty.
Don't run too fast,
you might trip and fall!
Oh, no.
Don't walk into the puddle.
Great job.
Now, before he eats anybody, the
monster will say, "Hello, how are you?"
Don't worry.
This guy really puts the Q in cuteness.
Rather, he puts
the dine into dinosaur.
So, what are we waiting for?
The mountain is right there.
It's not going to come to us by itself.
Oh, no. Dad, hey!
Let go of my dad! Stop!
Monster!
Don't be afraid, Maracuda,
son of the Great Rock.
This is just a dream.
Down there in the real
world, you are lying flat
and a blue chicken is
slapping you in the face.
Yeah, a very strange sight indeed.
Great-grandfather, is that you?
I thought you'd been
eaten by a soil worm.
Uh, I've got to wake up.
Come on, there was a gigantic bird.
My father died because of me!
Well, that's an overstatement.
Had your father died, Maracuda,
he would be sitting
right here by the campfire
among the souls of
his great ancestors.
But how did I end up here?
You knocked
yourself out, foolish boy.
With a banana, which you
yourself tossed into the air.
Yeah,
despite the fact that you lost the
fire that I had given to your tribe,
I have no doubt that in time to come,
you will do great
service to your kinsmen.
And if you don't, Maracuda,
then my prediction is wrong.
You can go now, Maracuda.
Uh, how about some words of advice?
I'd like to think we met
here for some reason.
Ah, yes.
Your dear grandmother,
Volka, has a big tambourine.
Right, what do I have to do?
Oh, please throw it
into the fire, Maracuda.
Oh, it's that dangerous.
It's not.
I just really despise the thing.
Uh, all right.
Maracuda, oh, are you okay now?
-Where is my father?
-Your father flew away.
Flew where?
Right there, Your dad Rock,
went to that rock.
Put me down, I'm not your lunch.
Who do you think you are?
Hey, I'm the great
Chief Rock, you hear?
You have no idea what I can do to you.
Look me in the eye, look me in the eye.
Let's talk man to bird, okay?
Hey, bird, let me go this instant.
Let me go, I say.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, don't let go.
Don't do it, no, no, no, don't let, no.
Don't do it.
Chieftains are hard to overthrow.
The Rock will not go down
without a fight, you spring chicken.
Okay, was that a surprise?
Man, I will not chicken now.
Bye-bye, ugly duckling.
Huh, what is this,
what is this white stuff
and why is it so sticky?
Huh, hey, what do you want?
Who are you anyway?
Hey, stop, what are you, a coward?
Come on, let's fight
one-on-one, a fair fight.
Why are you running around, huh?
Come back here.
You think I'm in a sticky situation so
you can count on me for a nice dinner?
Come on, come on,
we'll see who's stronger.
We'll come out on top, untie me,
and I'll show you where you're going.
-What is--
-It's you.
Huh, hey, what is this?
Darling, you decided to
come back and save me.
-Not again.
-You're my brave hero.
This was never my intention.
It was a combination of
factors, some coincidence.
Okay, let me see.
Oh, actually, you and me
could do something together.
Go on, be a good girl.
Give me your pinkies.
-We can start--
-A family.
What are you talking
about, crazy lady?
We can combine our weight.
Now come on, come on, come on.
Oh, you're such a romantic guy.
Thank you for taking me for a spin.
Less talking, more spinning.
Your life as a bachelor is hanging
by a thread, and that means--
That means that it's time
to let loose for both of us.
Let loose?
Oh, believe me, that's
exactly what we need to do.
You'll love it, I promise.
Come on, come on.
-Oh, I'm learning it.
-Ah, good for you.
-Don't stop, keep going.
-I can finally let my hair down!
Come on, I believe
we're almost there.
Come on, come on,
one more, right there.
So long, loser.
You cannot catch Rock the chieftain!
Darling, we got
carried away, we're flying.
That's right, that
was my plan all along.
And where will we land?
Oh, my plan didn't go that far.
Where are you going?
Meet me at the bottom!
Yeah, come on.
Hey, Dad, I'm coming.
Hey, that's my father there!
-Darling, we made it together.
-That's right, we made it.
Though my son is not
in a rush to come get me.
Hey, Maracuda, why do you
always make me wait for you?
I'm coming, Dad.
Darling, I would like to share
some very important news with you
and it's not
something funny as usual.
What now?
I know this might come as a shock,
but I think I'm about to experience
what every caterpillar in
this world has to go through.
Um, please stop.
I don't know what you're talking
about because I'm not a caterpillar.
That's right, I've forgotten that
you're in denial of the obvious.
I hope one day you'll accept who you
are and learn to live with yourself.
Accept myself as who?
I'm so confused.
What do you expect me to do?
I'm sorry we're not going
to go through this together.
You took good care of me.
I will cherish this memory.
-What?
-Here it goes.
I am about to become...
A butterfly!
Um, you?
Butterflies, they go like this
or like that and you go like this.
-Are you not aware?
-Of what?
Every caterpillar, well,
if they don't get eaten,
turns into a chrysalis first
and then into a butterfly!
Um, what?
Are you serious?
I mean, I might not be
the most observant guy,
but to miss something major like that,
I mean, you'd really have to...
I would notice something--
Are you for real?
Things change, you
know, for such is life.
And this human, you call
your son for some reason.
The one you yell at and stomp
your feet at, he will change too.
-Really?
-All too soon, but for now...
...you've got to love him
the way he is.
Um, uh, um, I've got to
tell you something, Pink.
What I wanted to say was that
thanks to you, I also am changing.
She was serious.
Oh, so long, Pink Lady.
I am really going to miss you.
Hi, Dad.
My son.
It's you again.
Oh, here it goes.
Oh, wow, that's a lot of fire.
I still cannot believe it.
You've got to tell your
mama, my little snugglebug.
The girl's as pretty as a turnip.
Why did you bring her here?
You are the laughing
stock of the village.
But Spring is not a turnip.
Don't argue with your mama.
Mama knows better.
Mama also reminds you that
you, my precious snugglebug,
have a perfect bride
already, The Little Mag.
A gentle young woman with a sweet
disposition
from a solidly built family.
And being the leader's son, my
snugglebug
must make the right decision.
There's no need to make a choice.
I don't need your precious snugglebug.
You see, my son, the girl turned you
down and you were calling her smart.
-Mother.
-...and a sight for sore eyes.
-Mother.
-And the best girl in the whole world.
-But mom.
-Don't "Mom" me!
Aw, he's such a shy baby.
Took after his Mom.
Excuse me, could you please
give me some fire for my tribe?
Nope, too bad, so sad.
Can't help you, little turnip.
I'd be happy to give you
fire, but we don't have enough.
There's nothing extra,
it's in short supply.
See, what did I say?
Perhaps I could talk
to your tribe's leader.
My little turnip, who do
you think you're talking to?
Mama is the leader, the
leader of Largos tribe.
Only backward tribes
maintain strictly male leadership.
Suit yourselves.
I'll return to my backward tribe.
Great idea, move those little feet.
Happy travels, little turnip.
Hey Spring!
This is for you.
It's a gift for your tribe.
Aha is giving our fire away
to this weakling?
And where is her fur?
She's like a branch
that has lost its leaves.
Are you sick or something?
I am sick.
She showed her.
Aha can live with no fur.
But with no Spring, he cannot.
Aha was going to marry Little Mag.
I'm gonna cry.
Aha never say yes.
You know what keeps me warm?
The wind of change in my face.
Home sweet home, I'm coming.
Cheer up, my boy.
That's right.
What say you, Tink?
Is there a surge of power you can feel?
This cosmos, is it working?
Yes, yes, it's working really well.
The surge of power is
really out of this world.
I can feel it.
Oh yeah, right now.
Well then, do the pink puff.
Well, you know guys, maybe
we should look for higher ground.
I mean, I don't want to
blow the whole thing up.
I don't know, the
sky's the limit, you know?
Come on, do the pink puff.
What's the problem?
Yeah, sure.
Whatever you say, we can do it here.
But we still need to wait till dark.
Yes, that's right.
-And once we see the stars, then--
-All right, chicken, listen up.
-I'm running out of patience, let's go.
-Right, I understand. Yes, yes.
Now I really need to focus.
Don't distract me, I'm focusing.
Zoom in, out, in.
And make sure you don't
mess it up this time, you hear?
I'm ready for the big change.
I want to become human.
-Are you sure?
-Completely.
No problem.
Maracuda, say farewell to
your father and step aside.
What?
I mean, I'm gonna say
farewell to your caterpillar, father.
Come on, blow.
This is bad.
Wait, wait, wait, what's going on?
This is my blow!
Tink, you there?
The surge of power was supposed
to be out of this world, not in it.
Oh, am I missing something?
Will I spend the rest
of my life like this?
-No.
-This is the end.
No, no, Tink.
You cannot do this to us.
You made a promise.
You tricked me again, didn't you?
Tink, talk to me, please.
Hey, what are you doing?
Maracuda, don't lose the egg.
-No, no, no.
-Don't lose your dad either.
Father.
Tink.
What is Spring's favorite flower?
A cactus.
For Aha, it's dandelion.
You can blow and sneeze.
And what is Spring's favorite color?
-Red, like fire.
-And for Aha, it is blue, like the sky.
So, we're here.
It's time to say goodbye.
And why do we say goodbye?
Aha is here. Fire is here.
Well, how do I put it?
Not enough fire.
There is not enough
fire between us, Aha.
Aha understand.
Not enough fire for Spring.
Goodbye, Aha from the Largos tribe.
Well goodbye, my Spring.
Not enough fire.
What's wrong with me?
Am I really upset?
Focus, girl!
Wait!
Stop!
Maracuda?
You're back, my little brother.
Uh, hello there, sister.
And where's our dad?
Oh, this is so embarrassing.
You could have told her
that I got eaten by a soil worm.
What's he saying?
Well, so happy to see his daughter.
If this is Dad, nobody
should see him in this state.
Even our grandmother.
I would say especially
our grandmother.
That's bad.
That's quite a shock.
And you meant to keep this from me.
Oh no, to be honest son,
getting eaten by a soil worm
would have been a mercy.
-Granny!
-What? He would have died a hero.
What are we going to do now?
We'd lose all our privileges, the
separate cave, the choice cuts of meat,
and that full clubfoot will
become the new chieftain.
Why would he become chieftain?
It's not his place.
Oh, I can't rely on anybody.
Gotta do something.
Maracuda!
Call a tribe meeting quick.
Stop tapping like that.
I'll do all the talking.
You just repeat what I say.
I still cannot believe we lost him.
Our Rock.
It feels as if he was here
right now, looking at all of us.
A fine performance.
These vile soil worms
have caused us so much grief.
They take the best of us.
Maracuda, I fell out.
Thank you.
By the way, would anyone
like to take his fishing rods?
I'll give you a nice deal, huh?
Hey, hey, those are my fishing rods.
What do you mean a nice deal?
What does she think she's doing?
Maracuda, tell her to keep
her paws off my fishing rods.
I would...
Folks, I'm really
sorry that my father
unfortunately got on the
wrong side of a soil worm.
Rock was...
Ah, right.
Rock was a very good soil worm.
I mean, warm.
And a loving man, yes.
He was a great and stern leader.
But life goes on, yeah.
That's all that you were
going to say about me? Fine.
And now, eyebrows together.
One foot forward.
Use your firmest voice
and repeat what I say.
That means that I...
That means that I, Maracuda,
will be your leader in his stead.
Tell them all to be quiet now.
Uh, be quiet.
Maracuda, you've got
to say be quiet way louder.
Louder!
That was much better.
You know, guys, in my adventures
and travels, I learned something vital.
We spent so much time
building defenses against foes,
while in reality, the wood
is where you make friends.
No, no, no, no, what's that?
I never said anything like that.
I feel it in my heart that my
father would agree with me.
A moving speech.
But why should you
become chieftain, hmm?
It was Maracuda's fault
that our fire was gone, hmm?
I brought us fire.
You brought fire,
but you were too late.
While you two wandered who
knows where and wasted your time,
it was I who risked his
life to bring us new fire.
I saved the tribe, I saved everyone.
So the chieftain stone will be mine,
and this cave will be mine,
these fishing rods will be mine,
and you Spring, you too will be mine.
-Oh, really?
-That's the law of life.
Am I right, my newly saved tribe?
-Clubfoot is making sense.
-No, he's not making sense.
Why is Aha trying
to wake the fire mountain?
Aha's heart is bursting with love.
But Spring is saying there is
not enough fire between us.
Aha will force the
mountain to give the fire.
My Spring, all this fire I give to you.
Now the entire tribe will
burn including this Spring girl.
Love make Aha blind!
Spring!
-He's making sense.
-He's not making sense.
He is not right.
-He is right.
-I said he is not right.
You are right.
You let Maracuda be
the new chieftain.
What's going on?
Come on, come on.
We have angered our ancestors.
Well then, tonight we'll be saying
hello to the dinosaurs, my lads.
Don't worry,
grandmother, I'm with you.
Maracuda, you have a plan?
Well, I wouldn't
really call them plans.
But I have an idea.
Listen up, tribe, do as I command.
You know our rule number
two, make tight knots.
Tight knots?
-What's next, chieftain?
-A stick.
I need a long stick immediately.
-Martha?
-She volunteered to do it.
The fate of humankind
is at stake, so I can take it.
No one can do this better than you.
I could try to be
modest, but you're right.
Why did I volunteer?
-Spring!
-It's you again.
Put your fears aside,
it's time to ride.
See you on the
other side, little brother.
Got you.
Who's next?
I don't know if I can trust
you as far as you can throw me.
You have to, father.
-Maracuda!
-My son!
Maracuda, come back!
Does he want to give me a heart attack?
Where does he think he's going?
Tink, we've got to get out of here.
Hurry up!
Sister, I've got to
get my friend to safety.
-Explain later! Come, on, climb!
-Hurry up, Maracuda!
Hands and feet, what a feat!
Dump the stupid bird,
you've got to save yourself!
Maracuda, there's no time!
No, no, no, little brother.
Oh, I cannot bear to watch this.
Tink, I need you now!
Great grandfather.
What do you mean, great grandfather?
Do I really look that old?
I mean, come on, it's me, Tink!
Here I am!
Where am I, then?
Where are you? Well, you, my
friend, are in some fiery volcanic lava
heated to a temperature of,
just one second, let me...
The temperature is 1,200 degrees!
Why do you look so worried?
Hey, relax, man!
My ancestors transformed planet!
I mean, do you think I'd have
trouble with volcanic magma?
You found it, my tuk-tuk!
This means I can
control my pink puff again!
He's alive!
Here.
Hey, do you want your apple back?
You know, sometimes it's
hard to come out of the apple.
Surprise!
Have you missed your old chieftain?
Have you?
You'd better watch it.
I don't get it.
The moment you step away, they
start giving out your fishing rods
and provoking all kinds
of natural disasters.
Yeah.
But despite all the odds,
Maracuda saved us all.
You demonstrated great courage,
dedication, and wit, you know?
Just like I did in my younger days.
I'm really proud of you, my son.
Hey, I was just keeping your
place warm, oh great chieftain Rock.
I always knew that you would return.
I may have overstepped
and overdone things, Rock.
You should leave.
You mean leave as in go away?
Or away as in away or
leave and come home?
Don't come home.
All right then, I will go.
Yeah.
Hey, watch this.
Pretty cool, right? I know.
Thank you for coming to our rescue.
Aha only want to bring
enough fire to you.
All right.
I've never seen so much fire before.
Forgive me, Spring.
It was Aha who woke
up the fire mountain.
You woke up a mountain?
You're funny, Fuzzball.
-Dad.
-My son.
Oh, why hello.
I have a feeling that I know you.
Oh, look at that.
Such a sweet and touching reunion.
I believe an old acquaintance
needs a bright new shape.
No, no, no, no.
Thank you, but no thank you.
Let's leave things the way they are.
Let's not tamper with nature.
He will, he will come back.
Yeah.
He did come back.
The great bird who came for us.
The great bird who came for us.
Who came for us.
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
Crash the magic wand
Kill the wonders so neat
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
Our great bird from beyond
