[Samson yawns]
[sighs softly]
-Awoo!
-[yelps] I'm awake!
-[gasps] Samson, what's going on?
-I think your snoring woke me up.
-Awoo!
-Ah! There it is again!
Samson, that wasn't me.
That was a wolf howl.
Come on!
-[sadly] Awoo.
-Winston? What's wrong?
I got separated from my wolf pack,
and now I'm lost.
You lost your pack?
Your family?
Your bestest wolf friends?
Oh, that's the saddest thing
I've ever heard! [sobs]
Well, do you know where
your pack might be?
Hmm. They always go to the Howling Rock
when it's a full moon.
I could go there, but I don't know how-oo.
Winston, I hear you, and I can help.
We can take you to Howling Rock.
Really?
-Elephant's Honor.
-And Bird's Word.

[gasps] There it is!
Howling Rock!
I can see it! I can see it!
Yep. We just have to go this way,
through those snapper flowers.
[soft snoring]
[hesitates] Snapper flowers?
I don't want my feathers to get chomped!
Unless I can…
[panting]
[yelps, grunts]
Nope, still can't fly.
[quietly] Don't worry.
As long as we're really quiet,
we won't wake them up.
-[Jane snores]
-Jane?
-What are you doing?
-[sleepily] Beezlenut brains…
I think she's asleep.
She must be sleep hopping.
[Jane mutters, snores]
-Jane! Wake up!
-Jane!
-[snapping]
-Oh no!
-I meant to do that. [snores]
-[flowers snapping]
[Jane grunts]
Huh? Where am I?
-[snapping]
-[Jane yelps]
Bad flower! You woke me up!
Jane, you woke up the snapping flowers!
Well, I'm over here.
So bad for you, but goody-goody for me!
-[flower snaps]
-[yelps] Hmph!
Oh no, the snapper flowers are snapping!
My fluffy little feathers are doomed!
There's just gotta be a way
past those flowers.
Maybe something in the backpack can help.
-Samson's blankie…
-Ah!
…a teacup,
and… a bunch of pacifiers?
You never know
when you'll run into crying babies.
What? I meet a lot of babies.
Hmm. Maybe we could use them.
[laughs] What are we gonna do?
Let the flowers chomp the pacifiers
so they don't chomp us?
[gasps] Great idea, Samson!
What… Horton, I was kidding.
That'll never work!
Woo-hoo!
The flowers like the pacis. It's working!
Of course it's working. I am a genius.
-[snapping]
-[yelps] Watch the feathers!
[Horton grunts, laughs]
-[snapping]
-[Horton grunts]
Night night!
-[snaps]
-Whoa.
-[giggles]
-Look out, Winston!
Yikes!
-All right!
-[giggles] Yeah!
And not a feather out of place.
[giggles]
All right, let's get to Howling Rock fast!
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo ♪
[Winston] Awoo!
-It's exciting ♪
-And surprising to be ♪
On an adventure with you! ♪
-We'll go soaring ♪
-And exploring ♪
On an adventure with you! ♪
Heading into the unknown ♪
Glad I'm not here on my own ♪

Racing round the bend we go ♪
I got my best friend in tow ♪
Doing what we love to do! ♪
On an adventure with you! ♪
-Woo-hoo!
-Yeah! [Samson laughs]
Bye, fireflies!
[gasps] Look! Howling Rock!
[Winston] Ow-ow-awoo!
But… how are we supposed to get
all the way up there?
-We'll figure it out.
-We just have to think.
Oh, well, in that case…
[sighs softly]
What? I think best with my blankie.
-[rumbling]
-Whoa!
-Uh, why is this hill moving?
-[whooshing]
'Cause it's not a hill!
It's Izzy Von Whizz!
[Izzy snores deeply]
Wow! Izzy's snores are even more powerful
than yours, Horton!
Hey, that gives me an idea!
But we're gonna need your blankie
to help us, Samson.
Okay, if you say so.
[sighs] We're counting on you, blankie.
-Okay, everybody, hold on!
-[Izzy snores]
-Ready?
-Ready? Ready for what?!
One, two, three!
-Woo-hoo!
-Awoo-hoo!
-[yelps] I can't look!
-[Horton giggles]
We're almost at the top!
Uh-oh!
Uh-oh? Why'd you say "uh-oh"?
-Uh-oh! This is not good!
-[Horton, Winston wailing]
[Izzy snores]
[Samson] This is good!
I just saw a flying elephant wolf bird!
Huh? Go back to sleep. You're dreaming.
-Woo-hoo!
-Yippee!
Ow-ow-awoo!
-Yeah!
-We made it to Howling Rock!
It's all thanks to my blankie.
-And my best friend.
-[Horton giggles]
And Izzy's really big snores.
-[Horton, Winston giggling]
-Yup!
But, Winston, where's your pack?
They should be here
to howl at the moon, right?
Yeah.
Horton, look!
The moon is covered up
by a bunch of clouds.
Winston's pack won't come
if they can't see the moon.
[Winston sniffles]
I guess I won't find my pack after all.
[sadly] Awoo!
It's okay, buddy. Howl it out.
Oh, Horton, we failed Winston.
Failed him!
[Samson sobs]
[Samson blows nose]
[Samson sniffles]
We're not giving up.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
Hmm.
Maybe I could blow those clouds away
with my trunk.
But how would you get up there?
You can't fly, Horton.
Wait, can you?
No, but I know someone who can.
[trumpets]
[gasps] Look! It's the fireflies!
Horton, is everything okay?
I need some help.
I've got to get up to those clouds.
Up there?
Pssh.
No problem. [whistles]
Time for Operation Flying Elephant!
-[firefly] Hooray!
-[Horton giggles]
[Horton] Woo-hoo! Whoa!
[giggles] Woo-hoo!
You got this, Horton!
[giggles]
Here we go.
[Horton blows]
Blow, Horton! Blow-oo!
Put your trunk into it!
Here goes nothing.
[breathes in deeply]
[blows forcefully]
I see the moon! It worked!
Awoo!
[Samson] You did it, Horton!
Thanks for the lift.
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Anytime. Enjoy the full moon.
Come on, pals. Let's go play
hide-and-glow-seek.
[distant howling]
[gasps] Did you hear that?
-[howling continues]
-It's them!
-It's my pack! It's my pack!
-[pack howling]
Mama! Mommy!
Winnie-Win! We were
looking for you everywhere.
I got lost,
but Horton and Samson helped me.
Oh! Thank you both
for bringing Winston back to us.
From now on,
you're both official members of our pack.
-You can howl with us anytime.
-Woo-hoo!
-Really?
-[giggles] Wow, thanks!
[wolves howling]
Well, should we?
Are you kidding? You heard the wolf.
We're members of the pack.
[all howling]
"The Amazing Race."
-Yeah!
-Woo-hoo!
Go, racers!
[Samson giggles] You can do it!
Hey, what's with all the cheering?
The race hasn't even started yet.
[giggles] We know. We're just excited.
The most excited!
Well, I… I'm excited too. Hooray.
[Greta clears throat]
Attention, everyone. It's time for…
The race to Mount McBoom!
-[laughing]
-All right!
The rules are simple.
Teams must race to the top of Mount McBoom
and grab the flag.
[racers] Whoa!
The first team
to bring the flag back here will win…
The McBoom Medal!
-Ooh!
-Wow.
-[nearby voice] Oh, no, no, no.
-Huh?
-[sighs sadly]
-Bailey? What's wrong?
I want to win the McBoom Medal,
but I can't.
She wants to win that McBoom Medal,
Horton, more than anything!
And she can't because…
Wait, why can't you?
My teammate has a cold.
And I can't be in the race
without a teammate.
Bailey, I hear you, and I can help.
Samson and I will be your teammates.
You will?
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
[giggles] Elephant's Honor.
And Bird's Word.

Hey, Jane. Good luck in the race.
Pssh! I don't need luck.
Lindy Laroo and I are so gonna win.
Isn't that right, my cutie kangarootie?
Oh, yes, it is.
All right, teams, ready, set…
-Kangaroo coming through!
-Jane!
-Hey!
-That's cheating!
We didn't say "Go!"
Now I'm saying it. Go! Go! Go!
[excited chattering]
-Awesome!
-Woo-hoo!
[giggling] Let's go!
-Huh?
-[laughs]
Woo-hoo!
-Woo-hoo!
-[Samson laughs]
-Woo-hoo!
-Woo-hoo! Yeah!
[chipmunks babble excitedly]
-Woo-hoo!
-[Horton giggles]
Gotta win! Gotta win! Gotta win!
-[Horton giggles]
-[Jane gasps]
Horton's team is way too close!
[gasps] Ooh.
[laughs sneakily]
Don't worry, Lindy. Mama's got a plan.
[grunts]
These slippery Beezlenuts
will slow 'em down.
Bad for them, but goody-goody for me!
[yelps, grunts]
[blows raspberry]
Come on, team! We're doing great!
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
[yelps] Oof!
How are we gonna get past
these Beezlenuts?
-Whoa!
-Oof!
Let me see.
I might be able to get past them.
[panting]
[yelps, grunts]
Nope, still can't fly.
Well, I'm out of ideas.
Maybe something in the backpack can help.
Snacks,
flashlight…
and a whoopee cushion?
[air squeaks]
Wasn't me.
Uh-huh, sure.
Uh, Samson, quick question.
Did you pack a giant whoopee cushion?
Of course! It's just so silly and…
-[air squeaks]
-Bouncy! Whee!
[Bailey giggles] Woo-hoo!
Hey, I wonder if we could use it somehow.
Pfft! [laughs] What are we gonna do?
Use the whoopee cushion
to bounce over the Beezlenuts?
That'll never work!
-Woo-hoo!
-[Samson wails]
-It's working, Samson!
-Huh?
Oh, uh, well, of course it is. I'm a…
-[wailing] …genius!
-[Horton] Whoa!
[Samson grunts, sighs]
Whoa!
-Bailey!
-[Bailey wails]
-Gotcha!
-Nice catch, buddy!
Whew! Thanks, Horton.
Now, come on. We gotta keep racing.
Snack for the race?
Move your muffins!
Lindy and I are in a hurry!
[Jane grunts]
[pants wearily]
[gasps] They're catching up!
[groans]
Huh. [gasps] But not anymore!
[Jane grunts]
[laughs]
Whoa! [groans]
-[Horton] Oh, hey, Sid!
-Hiya, team!
Race muffin?
[all] Thank you!
Oh, race muffins are my favie!
Well, after nap muffins.
Oh, and bath muffins.
-Hey, where'd the ladder go?
-Huh?
Oh no! Jane must've taken it.
That's not fair!
Jane took the ladder? Oh no!
We can't climb without a ladder!
And there's nothing else tall enough
to get us up there! Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
I could give you a boost.
-Yes, please.
-Cool!
Thanks, Sid.
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Going up!
-[Horton giggles] Wow.
-[Samson shrieks]
Don't look down!
Don't look down! Don't look down!
Ah! I looked down!
[wails] Why do I never
listen to my own advice?
[chuckles] There you go!
Good luck with the race!
-Woo-hoo!
-Hooray!
Let's put this ladder back
where it belongs.
Come on, come on, come on!
This race isn't gonna race itself!
[Horton pants]
-[all gasp]
-[Bailey] Whoa.
Mount McBoom. We're here!
[gulps] It's, uh… a lot bigger up close.
We got this!
We just have to climb up, grab the flag,
and bring it back to the finish line.
And then we'll win the McBoom Medal!
Come on, let's bounce!
We're going faster and faster
The further we go ♪
We're going faster and faster

We've got a friend in need ♪

We did it! We made it to the top!
Yeah, we did!
You're too late, Beezlenut brains!
I already got the flag!
[all] Jane!
I'm gonna win! You can't stop me!
Whoa! [yelps]
Oh no!
My flag!
Look what you made me do!
Oh no! Now nobody can win
the McBoom Medal.
The race isn't over yet.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
We're gonna get that flag!
[Samson and Bailey grunting]
A little further. [breathes in deeply]
-[Jane gasps]
-[Samson grunts]
-Woo-hoo!
-Go, Horton!
We did it!
No fair! That's my flag!
[Jane grunts angrily]
[sloshing, bubbling]
[rumbling]
[all gasp]
Uh, oops.
Um, I don't mean to alarm anyone, but…
[yells] …Mount McBoom is about to go boom!
[all] Whoa!
[all shriek]
Welp, I'm outta here.
Come on, we gotta go!
Horton, we'll never outrun that lava!
Or outhop it!
Or outski it!
Well, we probably could outski it,
but I didn't pack my skis!
The one day I didn't pack my skis!
[gasps] Samson, you just gave me an idea!
-Woo-hoo!
-Yippee!
[shrieking]
-[Jane yelps]
-We got you, Jane!
[Samson] Hurry, Horton!
[Jane] Go faster!
-Lava?!
-[all gasp, yelp]
Run away!
The other racers! We need to help them!
On it! Here comes the ski lift!
Here we go!
[bleats]
-Yay!
-Yeah!
Horton, look out!
[screaming]
[Horton giggles]
-[Horton laughs] All right!
-[Leo] That was a close one.
Oh! Oh! I think I see one of the teams!
-[distant laughing]
-Why, that's not one team.
That's all the teams!
Look, the finish line!
Okay, Bailey, time to win that medal!
-[Bailey] Yippee!
-[cheering]
[grunting]
-We made it!
-All right!
Oh, sweet, cool earth
that's not trying to burn my feathers.
How I love you. Mwah! Mwah!
What a thrilling finish
to a thrilling race.
Um, I was first the whole time!
Now give me my medal!
[groans] You don't get a medal, Jane.
You cheated.
And you almost got us all covered
in boiling hot lava!
Well, sorry!
Not my fault the volcano has a temper!
Lindy and I didn't want
a stinky medal anyway.
Whoa! [grunts]
I meant to do that!
Ahem. Anyway, the winners
of the McBoom Medal are…
Bailey's team!
-We won!
-Yes!
Amazing!
Congrats, Bailey.
We did it!
Come on, let's celebrate!
[all chant] Bailey! Bailey! Bailey!
-Hooray!
-[Samson laughs]
