"Fish Out of Water."
Hmm, beezlenut chip or chocolate chunk?
Beezlenut chip or chocolate chunk?
Oh, how's a bird to choose?
There you are, Samson. Ready to go?
Almost.
[munches] Mm, mm.
Okay, now I'm ready to go.
Woo-hoo! I can't wait to see
the glowing flowers bloom tonight.
Let's go!
Wait for me!
Hi, Zora Ma Zoo. Are you going to see
the glowing flowers too?
Am I going to see
the beautiful glowing flowers
that only light up in the moonlight?
You bet I am!
Aw, that's great, Zora.
But don't you need to stay in water?
Sure do, 'cause, you know, I'm a fish.
I'll just puddle hop
all the way there. Hup!
Now, let's see. Where's the next puddle?
Um…
I don't see any more puddles.
They're gone. All dried up.
Just like your hopes and dreams
of seeing the glowing flowers!
[sobs]
But I want to see those flowers so much.
I gotta get there somehow.
Zora, I hear you, and I can help.
We'll take you to the glowing flowers.
Yippee! But how?
Hmm.
[gasps] I've got an idea!
But we're gonna need someone
to empty that cookie jar.
[Samson gasps]
I've been training for this my whole life.
Hup! [munching]
Mm, mm!
-[giggles] Perfect!
-Whoo!
We'll get you
to the glowing flowers in no time.
Really?
-Elephant's Honor!
-And Bird's Word!

The map says we gotta go this way
through these sand dunes.
Ooh! I can't wait to feel
the warm sand between my toesies.
[breathes in, gasps] Ah!
Hot toesies! Hot toesies! Ooh! Ow!
-Whew.
-[Zora giggles]
Yikes! That sand is hot!
My toesies are too delicate
to walk on hot sand, Horton.
Oh! I know. Maybe I can fly across.
[puffs]
Whoa! [grunts]
Nope. Still can't fly.
Maybe there's something
in the backpack that can help.
Let's see. Banana?
Flashlight?
A huge duck floatie?
Oh, ha-ha, that's Dunsworth Duck.
Thought we might go for a swim later.
Hmm. I wonder if we could use it somehow.
How's a duck floatie gonna help us?
There's no pool in sight.
Yeah, what are we gonna do?
Ride Dunsworth across the sand?
Great idea, Samson!
Wait, what? I was kidding, Horton.
Ooh. Don't listen to him, Dunsworth.
That'll never work.
[Horton, Zora] Woo-hoo!
[Samson] Whoa!
It's working!
Of course it is! I'm a genius!
You too, Dunsworth.
-Woo-hoo!
-Yeah!
[Zora] Uh-oh!
-Whoa!
-[Zora yelps]
Whoa!
-I gotcha!
-Thank you.
[gasps] Crabs! They're gonna pop Dunsworth!
Oh no, they're not! Everyone, lean!
Ha ha! Not today, crabs! Not today!
Sandcastle, straight ahead!
[chipmunk squeaks]
[Horton] Whoa!
[wailing]
Ooh!
We made it!
-And I feel like a whole new bird.
-[giggling]
This is it. We're almost there.
Almost? Almost?
What about that huge mountain of sand?
Turn around, Horton.
Turn this duck around!
There is no turning around.
Everyone, hold on!
Hold me, Dunsworth!
[Horton] Woo-hoo!
Whoo! I'm a flying fish!
Woo-hoo!
[grunts] Yeah! Made it!
See ya, sand!
-Where's Zora?
-[Zora] Yoo-hoo!
-Ah!
-Woo-hoo!
-Woo-hoo-hoo!
-All right!
Wow! Did you see that?
A perfect dive!
Thank you, thank you.
-Are we almost at the glowing flowers?
-Let me check.
Hmm. I think we need to go that way.
[gasps] Oh, look, Lindy. A cookie jar.
We love cookies.
Finders keepers.
[Jane laughs]
-Jane!
-Wait!
Get your own cookies.
Jane Kangaroo does not share.
Except with you, my cutie kangarootie.
-Hi there!
-Argh!
A talking fish cookie!
-[Horton, Samson] Zora!
-Whoa!
Wow! What a view!
Oh, Jane! You threw Zora into a tree!
Sorry. How was I supposed to know
there was a fish in that cookie jar?
Come on, Lindy.
Let's go find some real cookies.
Whoa! Ugh.
I meant to do that!
Yoo-hoo! A little help.
Whoa! It's pretty wobbly up here!
Don't worry, Zora. We'll get you down.
Oh, there's no way, Horton.
We've gotta face the facts.
She lives in that tree now.
Send her mail to 123 Tree Street.
[Samson wails]
Argh! [grunts]
Oops. Sorry. That is one springy branch.
Springy. That's it!
These branches are springy.
I can use them to bounce up to Zora.
Great idea! And Dunsworth and I
will stay here on the nice, safe ground.
Dunsworth isn't a fan of heights.
[giggles] Okay. Here I go!
Hold on, Zora!
I'm coming, Horton! Whoo!
-Gotcha!
-Am I glad to see you! Whoa!
Oh! They're falling fast!
They're gonna hit the ground!
Dunsworth! What do we do?
[gasps] Dunsworth!
[grunts]
[Horton, Zora] Whoa!
-Oh!
-Yeah!
Oh! You're safe!
Oh, I thought I'd never see you again!
I was so alone. All by myself!
Except for Dunsworth,
but he doesn't talk much. No offense.
Thanks for giving us a soft landing.
Yeah. Even helpers
need a little help sometimes.
Come on.
We've gotta get to those glowing flowers.
Ooh! I can't wait!

-Woo-hoo!

The glowing flowers
are at the bottom of this hill.
Pfft! Easy-peasy.
We'll be there before you can say… [gasps]
"Hill of Doom!"
We'll never make it down
in time to see the flowers glow!
You always dreamed
of seeing the glowing flowers.
Now the only thing you're seeing
is this cookie jar,
and it doesn't even glow!
[sobs]
[Zora sighs]
I guess you should just take me back home.
No! We're not giving up!
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant!
I promised to help 100%!
Zora, we're gonna get you
to the glowing flowers. No matter what!
But how, Horton? It'll take us a whole day
to get down this trail!
More like three days.
At least that's how long it took me.
Did you hear that, Horton?
Three whole days!
-Whoa!
-Uh-oh!
-Gotcha!
-[sighs] Thanks, buddy!
That snail slime is super slippery.
And super slidey.
[gasps] That's it!
It might take us too long to walk down,
but we can slide on the slime super fast!
I bet we'll slide even faster on my jar!
Come on!
All aboard the cookie jar express!
Let's go!
-Woo-hoo!
-Whoa!
Whoo! Yeah!
Nothing better than the wind in your fins!
And your ears!
And your feathers!
Ah! Watch out for that tree, Horton!
[Horton] On it!
[all] Whoa!
-Rock!
-Whoa!
[Zora] Log!
-Duck!
-Dunsworth?
-No! Duck!
-[gasping]
-Yikes!
-Whoa!
I see it!
The flower patch!
Ah! We're going too fast!
Hit the brakes, Horton! Hit the brakes!
There aren't any brakes
on this cookie jar!
Argh! I can't look!
We're gonna crush the flowers!
No! I've got this!
-Whoa!
-[Samson wails]
[grunting]
-Made it!
-Phew!
[gasps] Samson, look. We're here.
And just in time. The moon's coming out.
-[Samson gasps]
-[all] Whoa!
[Zora] Ooh!
This is even more beautiful
than I imagined!
Thanks, Horton. Thanks, Samson.
If it weren't for you two,
I never would have seen
the glowing flowers.
Aw. I'm just happy
we get to see them together.
Yeah, and there's only one thing
that could make this even better.
What?
Cookies!
What? I always pack backup cookies!
-[Zora] Yummy!
-[Horton giggles]
[Samson] Mm!
"Hiccup Trip."
Careful. Careful!
You got this, Horton!
-Yes!
-It didn't fall!
My turn!
Hmm.
[hiccups]
-Look out!
-Argh!
[gasps] Um…
Oops! Sorry!
Leni! Were you always pink?
Uh… No.
It's because I have the hiccups.
It's this thing that happens sometimes.
Every time I hiccup, I change color.
[hiccups] Whoa!
Uh-oh.
See?
Well, orange fur really works for you!
Yeah, but these hiccups don't.
And they'll only go away
if something really scares me.
And nothing scares me.
Nothing, huh?
Not even…
Boo!
-Argh!
-[Leni giggles]
Love that mask, Horton! [hiccups]
Leni! Behind you!
Ah, cute snake!
A snake?! Where? [whimpers]
Oh yeah. I put that there.
[laughs] Argh!
Wow, you're really hard to scare.
I told you nothing scares me.
Well, except these terrifying creatures
that live in the Cave of Kazoom.
But other than that, nothing.
I've got it! You need to go to that cave
so those creatures can scare you.
But how am I gonna get there with these…
-[hiccups]
-Whoa!
…hiccups!
Leni, I hear you, and I can help.
We'll go with you to the Cave of Kazoom.
You… [hiccups] …will?
Elephant's Honor!
And Bird's Word!
Doo-doo-doo-doo! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
You don't need to worry ♪
-We'll help you in a hurry ♪
-Hurry! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
You're telling me there's only one thing
in the whole jungle that scares you?
Yep.
But this jungle's full of scary stuff.
[wails]
[yelps]
See?
Oh great.
A huge canyon that's impossible to cross.
We'll never make it to that cave now.
Unless maybe I can fly over it.
[puffs]
[grunts]
Nope. Still can't fly.
-There's gotta be a way across.
-I'm telling you, Horton, there's no way.
It's not like the answer to our problem
is just gonna drop out of the sky.
-Excuse me?
-Argh!
A spider's gotta bounce.
Whee!
[giggles]
[Samson] Cool webs!
[Leni] Oh! Bouncy!
[gasps] They are bouncy!
Excuse me? Mind if we use your webs?
Of course! They're all yours!
Thanks!
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Come on, let's bounce.
Let's what now? [yelps]
-Wahoo!
-Yeah!
[Samson grunts, yelps]
-Watch this!
-[Leni giggles]
[wails] Make it stop!
Samson! Check me out! [hiccups]
-[Leni wails]
-Oh no!
Horton!
Hold on, Leni, I'm coming!
Gotcha! Hang on!
-Whoa!
-Yahoo!
Wow, that was so…
-Scary!
-Fun!
Fun? That was terrifying!
[sighs] Your hiccups have to be gone now.
Hmm… [hiccups]
Unbelievable.
-[bee buzzes]
-Come on, the cave's this way.
[giggles] Hi, little bee!
[Leni giggles]
Oh, look! Lions!
Hi, lions! Huh?
-Horton!
-Whoa!
Whoa, whoa!
Samson, what's wrong?
I know those lions.
They're always in a bad mood.
We can't let them see us.
Uh-oh, we have to warn Leni.
Psst, over here!
Leni! Hey, Leni!
Oh no! Leni's a goner!
Huh? It's like the lion
didn't even see her.
[gasps] The lion didn't see her
because her green fur
blended in with the grass.
But what about us, Horton?
We're not green.
And I'm too cute
to face a lion with a bad attitude.
We just need to blend in too.
Okay, just act like a bush
and everything will be fine.
-[Horton gasps]
-[bee buzzes]
Not now, buddy. Shoo. Shoo!
[Leni giggles]
[quietly] Come on, Leni.
Let's go this way.
No hiccups, no hiccups.
-[Leni hiccups]
-[Samson wails]
Uh… Hi there, lions.
Any chance you all
are in a good mood today?
[lions growl]
Nope, didn't think so.
Run!
We're going faster and faster
The further we go ♪
We're going faster and faster
'Cause both of us know ♪
We got a friend in need
So we're speeding
Seeing to it you succeed ♪
Until we do, we two will never slow ♪
Faster we go! ♪
Come on, let's go even faster!
Faster and faster
As fast as we can ♪
-We're going faster and faster ♪
-Top speed is our plan ♪
We got a friend in need
So we're speeding ♪
Seeing to it you succeed
Until we do, we two will never slow ♪
-Faster we go! ♪
-Faster we go! ♪
Faster we go, go, go, go! ♪
Whew! I can't believe
we got away from those lions.
-Yeah, we did.
-Yeah!
And we're almost at the cave.
All we gotta do is climb this.
[Samson] You mean that ginormous cliff?
Impossible. Not a chance. Can't be done.
[sighs] Samson's right.
We can't climb all the way up there.
Hup! [groans]
Or bounce all the way up, either.
Guess I'll be stuck
with these hiccups for…
[hiccups] …ever.
No, we're not giving up.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
There's gotta be a way up this cliff.
But how, Horton?
That's the scariest cliff I've ever seen.
And I've seen a lot of scary cliffs.
Maybe something in the backpack can help.
Tennis racket?
-Flashlight?
-Whoa!
Caramel apple? Whoops.
Hey, I was gonna eat that.
Good thing I packed more.
Mm. So sweet, so caramelly. Uh…
So sticky. Whoa!
Sticky…
Hey, maybe those apples can help us.
Ha-ha! What are we gonna do?
Use caramel apples to climb the cliff?
Exactly!
[sputters] What? I was kidding, Horton.
That'll never work.
[Horton and Leni grunting]
Wow, the caramel apples are working.
Of course they are. I'm a genius.
Mm. A hungry genius.
We got this.
We'll be at the top in no time.
We just gotta keep going. Oh, hi there!
Yep, and whatever you do,
don't think about falling.
-Whoa!
-I thought about falling!
[bleats]
Here, take my caramel apple.
Uh, Horton?
Oh no!
-[Samson] Look out!
-Whoa!
-Phew!
-Whew!
Okay, Samson, go to your happy place,
go to your happy place, go to your--
Argh! This is not my happy place!
Don't worry, Samson.
We're almost at the top.
[hiccups] Argh!
-Help! Whoa!
-Leni!
-[Horton grunts]
-Whoa!
I've got you, Leni!
Nice caramel apple catch, Horton.
-[Leni hiccups]
-How did that not scare you?
[Horton giggles]
[grunts] We made it!
Whew. Solid ground!
Oh, let's never be apart again.
Mwah, mwah, mwah!
Well, uh, we made it to the cave.
Oh, right.
The cave with the super scary
creatures inside.
You know what? Why don't you two go ahead?
I'll hang here and eat my caramel apple.
We can do this.
It'll be less scary if we're together.
Come on, Leni.
Let's go get rid of those hiccups.
-Whoa!
-Ooh.
Hey, you cute little…
Argh! [yelps]
Protect me, Samson!
From what? Where is it?
The most terrifying creatures
in the whole Jungle of Nool!
You mean the butterflies?
Uh-huh. They're so flappy.
Huh. Guess everyone's afraid of something.
Wait, Leni, look!
You're back to your normal color!
[gasps] I am. Which means…
My hiccups are gone! Yes! Woo-hoo!
We did it!
[gasps] Argh!
[giggles] That tickles. Huh.
I guess they aren't that scary.
[giggles] Now, come on.
Let's go back home.
[sighs] Finally feel like me again.
Thanks for helping get rid of my hiccups.
-Anytime.
-No problem.
Let's just hope no one else gets hiccups
for a long time.
[hiccups] Oh no!
This is a disaster!
I'm gonna have the hiccups
forever and ever and--
-Boo!
-Argh!
Look at that. My hiccups are cured.
[Horton and Zora laughing]
