Ooh.
Oh, boy, I was dreaming.
Oh, it was awful.
Sorry, Sunni.
Sorry, I gotta go.
Was I that bad, Grammi?
Nonsense, child,
your singing was fine.
That thin ear would
probably fall asleep
during an avalanche.
Our Gruffi's been
working day and night
on that old machine Zummi found.
He's just pooped.
Yes, it was an omen,
that's what it was.
Terrible luck coming.
A real bad omen.
Gummies weren't meant to fly!
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
This machine is dangerous.
I refuse to work on it anymore!
But soon we'll
be able to fly it!
Never!
Gummies weren't meat to fly!
Well, of course they were.
See?
The ancient dummies did,
uh Gummies did.
Zummi, I found
where the fuel goes.
Oh, good, good, good.
Put some in and start her up.
But I don't know
what the fuel is.
That's what you were
looking up, remember?
I was?
Oh, yes of course.
Oh, I was.
We need something
to make you fly.
Something to make
you go up in the air.
Fuel, fuel, let's see.
Fog, formation flying,
free fall.
Why don't you look
up fool instead?
Gummies weren't meant to fly.
Ah, they were to, they were to.
Were not!
They were to.
- Were not.
- They were to.
Gummiberry juice!
Oh, my goodness, you did it!
You did it!
Now we can fly!
Quick! Cubbi, tell Grammi we
need some Gummiberry goose.
And lots and lots
of Gummiberry juice.
I don't care what they say.
Gummies weren't meant to fly!
Sunni, if you're tired,
you can go in now.
I'll finish up.
I'm too excited
to be tired, Grammi.

Sunni!
Tummi!
Let's wrap it up
for the day, Tummi.
Okay.
Tummi, where are you going?
Home to get paper and ribbon.
Just push the wheel barrel,
all right?
First, she wants me to wrap it
then she wants me to push it.
It's okay, Tummi.
Listen, do you wanna
hear a new song?
Sure.
Where'd you learn it?
I just wrote it.
I'm gonna be a famous singer,
you know?
She is the one we take.
When?
Very soon.
Where is my new songbird?
The old one didn't
last very long.
We will have her soon, milord.
Soon is not good enough.
I want her in
that cage by morning.
Well, come in, Gruffi, help us.
We need only one
more batch of berries
for the flying machine fuel.
Nothing doing.
If I said it once,
I've said it a hundred times.
Gummies weren't meant to
Look out, Gruffi!
Whoops.
I guess my knot came untied.
You see? You see?
Flying only gets
you at the trouble.
I'm really sorry, Gruffi.
Well, if you're set on
doing this fool thing,
it's time you learned
how to tie a decent knot.
Over, under, and through.
There. Now remember that.
Thanks a lot, Gruffi.
Flying, huh!
Look out, Gruffi!
Sorry, Gruffi.
You know, Tummi, I really
think I can be a great singer.
You should.
The way you practice all day.
I'll bet I could
be really famous
and even sing for kings.
Tummi, help!
Help! Tummi!
Oh, no, Sunni!
I'll save you Sunni.
Let go of her, you buzzard.
Hurry, Tummi!
I'm coming!
Noooo!
Tummi, help!
Let go of me, you creeps.
And they had these
kind of feathers.
Claws, did they have claws?
Yeah, big ugly ones.
Oh, look, look.
Here they are.
That's them, that's them.
They look like ten miles
of extremely bad rouges.
What are they, Zummi?
Carpies.
A fierce race of
bird-like creatures.
Oh, I can't bare the thought
of poor Sunni with
those awful beasts.
I tried to stop them,
Grammi, honest.
We know, Tummi, we know.
Uh, it says here,
"They lived atop
Carpy mountain."
The steepest
mountain in the land!
Then let's get started.
Time is wasting.
Well, come one, we've
gotta get up that mountain.
All right, in a flying machine.
Hold on, hold on.
The only sane way to
get up that mountain
is the Gummi way,
by bouncing up.
But it's too steep, Gruffi.
This machine is our only hope.
Cart it up, Stubbi.
Uh, start it up, Cubbi.
Right.
Cast off, Tummi.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
This is certifiably insane.
Oh stop grousing and get in!
Remember, Sunni needs us.
I am not going up in
the air and that is that!
Whoa!
Hey, wait for us!
We wanna go too.
What do I do, Zummi?
Oh, here it is.
Pull back, pull back.
No, no, no, Cubbi.
No, no, push the stick
the other way!
Whoa!
You've got Gruffi!
Look behind you!
I think Grammi
wants me to back off.
Cubbi, Cubbi,
try pushing it forward.
Okay.
Let me out of here!
Wow, look how high we are.
Yeah.
Is that our shadow?
Sure.
Look, it's Gruffi's
shadow behind it.
Gruffi's shadow!
Pull me in!
Look out!
Are you all right, Gruffi?
Oh, sure.
This is a regular picnic.
Gruffi,
how'd you get back there?
I was roped into it.
As is his majesty please
with is new songbird.
Hmm.
Perhaps.
And perhaps not.
Look, if you're, uh, majesty,
I'm really flattered
you like my singing.
But I've been at it for hours.
When can I go home?
Never!
You belong to me now, songbird.
What?
Listen, my friends will
be here any minute and
If they managed to
get all the way up here,
we'll show them
the quick way down.
Now, sing!
Gummiberry,
Gummiberry juice ♪
Are you feeling better, Gruffi?
I just wanna rescue Sunni
and get finished with
the flying nonsense.
How far is it to
this Carpy mountain?
We should be
getting near it now.
There it is!
Wow, we couldn't
have bounced up this thing
with a lengthful of
Gummiberry juice.
Okay, okay.
A flying machine
was a good idea.
We don't have to rub it
Oh, no!
I better check the juice gage.
Where'd it go, where'd to go?
Hey, what's going on?
Something's fishy.
It's not fishy; it's foul!
Gimme that hands of thieving
Whoa!
Are you all right, Gruffi?
Gummies weren't meant to crash.
Whew.
Well, at least,
we landed in some bushes.
Yeah, lucky us.
Oh dear, oh dear.
How will this ever
get us back down again?
But it's got to.
First things first,
we gotta find Sunni.
Come on.
Whoa!
Don't look down, Zummi.
Oh, this is great.
Zummi, you stay here and
try to fix that contraption.
I'll take Cubbi.
Thanks.
I appreciate it.
There's a ledge
down there, Cubbi.
I'll bet we could
reach it by rope.
Um, Gruffi.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, nothing doing.
I'm gonna tie
the knot this time.
But Gruffi.
Once I'm down, you follow.
But listen, Gruffi.
Don't be scared, Cubbi.
I'll be there to
catch you if you fall.
Whoa!
I've got you, Gruffi.
Cubbi, how did you get here?
There's a trail
leading down here.
That's what I was
trying to tell you.
Oh, well, thanks.
Come on.
Don't worry, Sunni.
Help is on the way.
I see an opening.
Just a few more feet, Cubbi.
Piece of cake, right, Gruffi?
Nothing to it, kid.
How will we know where
to start looking for Sunni?
We'll just know.
This way.
I can hear her.

Let's check it out first.

Now, what do we do, Gruffi?
I got an idea, Cubbi.
You climb up there
in that knitch.
Okay, I'm good at climbing.
Don't worry, Sunni,
we'll get out.
Psst, hey, hold this.
Hang on, sweetie.
You hold up this in, Gruffi.
I'll walk across.
Well,
let's hope he at least
knows how to untie a knot.
Come on, hold my hand.
More.
Gummiberry,
Gummiberry juice ♪
Oh, Gruffi!
I'm so happy to see you two.
How did you get here?
We sort of used, you know,
the flying machine.
Zummi's upstairs getting
it ready for our trip back.
Well, let's get going.
Put tab A into slot B
or is that slot E?
I can't see it.
I gotta get some more light.
Oh, I know.
My lamp-lighting spell.
Wamite, tumig, namao!
Ahh.
Doh.
We've got to get out of here.
It'll be daylight soon
and these overgrown
parakeets are gonna wake up.
How about this way?
Cubbi, where are you?
Up here!
There are two ways.
Which one should I take?
Go left.
No, he's right.
- Go right.
- Go left.
Well, what should I do?
You pick.
Okay, I'll go left.
Right.
I see the end of the tunnel.
We're free!
Ooh.
I guess we should've
turned right.
Right.
Oh boy, this is
like doing a puzzle
with your eyes closed.
We made it!
Sunni, you're safe!
Yes, oh, thanks for rescuing me.
Now, the big question is
did you get the
contraption fixed?
Well, I had a few extra parts
and a few missing parts.
But it's done.
It was dark.
Will it fly?
Well, according to this book,
the wings should be able
to flow on the wings.
Why don't we just flap our arms?
Oh, no, no.
No, it says in chapter nine
that technique
doesn't really work.
However, in chapter 10
All right, all right, I give up.
What do we do now?
Yeah, those things
are gonna wake up soon.
We should lay down on
the wing and hang on.
Once we get off the mountain,
we just glide down.
Great, let's go.
Oh, something's not right.
Something's not right.
Well, of course.
Somebody's gotta push
the darn thing off.
More, more.
More!
What?
Huh?
Wake up!
My songbird has escaped!
Find her, you fool!
No, Gruffi, don't!
You'll be left behind.
Look, this was all my idea.
Let me stay behind.
Now, listen, it's got to be me.
None of you are strong enough.
Then we'll all stay.
Oh, that's foolishness.
I'll be fine.
I'll climb down.
I'll get on that wing.
Goodbye, Gruffi.
Come on, you bunch
of unsightly canaries.
Whoa!
Carpy!
Don't let them escape.
Ooh!
Back off, buzzard,
or I'll mash you in the beak!
Toss them into
the mountain side.
Oh, good heavens!
Listen, listen, on my word,
everybody lean to the right.
Lean to the right, now!
Bye-bye, birdies.
This will stop you,
you meddling worms.
Lean back!
We lost him!
You'll never escape me.
My crown!
Give it back!
Catch, you greedy vulture!
Yeah!
They've got Sunni.
You must like it back there.
Don't worry,
don't worry, we're safe now.
Sunni, I'm so glad you're back.
I could just

Anything but that, okay?
Okay.
And then we walked
right up to that old king
and we looked him
right in the eye.
Is that too tight?
Yes.
Good, that's how
it's supposed to be.
We were fighting hand to hand.
Not so fast.
Oh Cubbi, stop all that chatter
and finish tying
Gruffi's bandage.
I got to see to dinner.
Wait, Grammi.
This is the best part.
It was just me and the Carpies.
If I've told that boy once,
I've told him a hundred times.
Gummies never brag.
Well, at least he's learned
to tie a decent knot.
