00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Wow! Look at the size of that bird!
00:38He's not as tough as he looks. And neither are they.
00:47Come on, Puffy. Let's scare those gulls.
00:50Oh, do we have to, Sean? They're not doing us any harm.
00:53Puffy, gulls are just stupid. They deserve to be scared.
00:57They have feelings, just like us.
01:00Well, the only feeling they're going to feel right now is panic.
01:03Oh, yeah! I love this! Get out of here! Go on!
01:09Woo! Ha-ha-ha! Yeah-ha-ha!
01:13Ha-ha! Works every time.
01:16Oh, Sean. What would your ma say?
01:20Sean! Sean!
01:21Oh, well, the devil is that boy.
01:24We'll be late to migrate if he doesn't come home soon.
01:28Ah, easy on the lad. He's just out having fun.
01:32Fun, is it? Well, isn't he his father's son?
01:35Sean's a duck running amok, and you just sit there blowing your silly whistle.
01:39Sometimes the two...
01:40Oh, keep your beak on now, Mother.
01:43He'll be home soon.
01:47We're ready, Mother.
01:49Oh, bless you, my dears.
01:51I'm glad we're not all feather brains in this family.
01:57Hey, Puffy.
01:59Will you look at this?
02:01Wow.
02:02Wow.
02:06Hey, let's go for a slide.
02:08Oh, more like a fall, Sean.
02:10Go on. It's not that steep.
02:17Except for chickens.
02:19Oh, I think we should go home, Sean.
02:21Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!
02:22Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!
02:24They must be wondering where we are.
02:26Fine.
02:27You run back to your mummy and...
02:30Leave the heroics to me.
02:33Hmm.
02:36Ah!
02:37Ah!
02:38Am I or am I not magnificent?
02:48How speechless are you?
02:50Sean!
03:06That was close.
03:14I told you I should have gone home.
03:16What? I'd miss all that adventure.
03:20Hey, did you see that look on that-
03:22Sean!
03:24Sean, shameless Aloysius Dermot Duck.
03:28What do you think you're doing?
03:30Oh, hello, Ma. Only playing.
03:32And have we forgotten what day it is today?
03:36Uh, Thursday?
03:38Uh, it's flying south for the winter day, isn't it, Mrs. Duck?
03:42So why aren't you at home getting ready?
03:46Bye, Sean!
03:48Bye, Puffy.
03:50Ma!
03:52You'll see Puffy again in the spring.
03:56Couldn't we just stay here instead?
03:58Not with winter coming.
04:00It'll soon be too cold.
04:02We have to find somewhere warmer.
04:06Ma?
04:08Yes?
04:10Will there be girls to chase when we get there?
04:20Now, pay attention, everyone.
04:22From now on, you must all stick closely together.
04:26And that means you too, Sean.
04:29Yes, Ma.
04:30Now, where on earth's your father?
04:33Stand aside! Emergency landing!
04:36Gangway!
04:38Duck!
04:40Ah!
04:41Ha, ha, ha!
04:42Duck!
04:43Did you get it?
04:44Ha, ha, ha, ha!
04:46Nice landing, Dad.
04:48Hey, sorry I'm late, gang.
04:50I forgot me whistle.
04:52Oh, and we wouldn't want that now, would we?
04:54Look!
04:55Look at the sky!
05:00Oh, no!
05:01Would you look at that?
05:02It started.
05:03We mustn't be left behind.
05:13All set, everyone.
05:14Rudders!
05:21Wings!
05:24All cleared for takeoff!
05:27Go!
05:32Go!
05:34Go!
05:35Oh, boy.
05:36Go!
05:37Go!
05:38Go!
05:39Go!
05:40Go!
05:41Go!
05:42Go!
05:43Go!
05:44Go!
05:45Go!
05:46Go!
05:47Go!
05:48Go!
05:49Go!
05:50Go!
05:51Go!
05:52Go!
05:53Where's everyone gone?
05:58Why didn't you live?
05:59Come back!
06:00Come and fly.
06:01Come and fly.
06:07Where's everyone gone?
06:09Ma?
06:11Ma?
06:12Where are you?
06:13Can't anyone hear me?
06:15You can't hear me!
06:19Is that you, Ma?
06:22Ma?
06:24Is that you?
06:27Ma!
06:45Sean! Where's Sean? We've lost Sean! Sean! He must have taken the wrong turning in the cloud cover!
07:04No, relax, Mother. He's just dragging his wings a little. I'll go back and look for him.
07:09No, no. You stay with the little ones. I'll go, and we'll catch you up.
07:15Pick on someone her own size!
07:42Ma!
07:44Ma! Come back!
07:47Don't leave me here!
07:52Ma!
07:54Good morning, Doc!
08:07It looks to me like your flight has been cancelled.
08:14Go away!
08:15Go away? We've only just met! Now then, where's your manners?
08:20Lost him. Now leave me alone. I'm all right.
08:24And I'm Boley! Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. All Right!
08:30My name is Sean.
08:32Ouch!
08:33And you're not all right, are you?
08:36I... I think I've broken my wing.
08:40Hmm. Now that does present a bit of a dilemma.
08:42You see, a broken wing means no flying.
08:44And no flying means no flying south for the winter.
08:47And no flying south for the winter means, well, it doesn't matter what that means for the moment.
08:52If you can't fly on your own, well, perhaps you just need a little help.
08:58Are you sure about this?
09:04Absolutely! Absolutely!
09:06You were only talking to one of Ireland's greatest pilots.
09:09I've never heard of a vole flying before.
09:12It was in all the newspapers.
09:14We don't get all the newspapers.
09:16Oh, okay. Now, after takeoff, remember to flap your feet as hard as possible.
09:21And keep on flapping like the clappers till you see coconuts and palm trees.
09:25Now off you go!
09:31Well, I do have another idea.
09:36Now, this is a little trick I learnt when I was an astronaut.
09:40See you next spring!
09:42No!
09:43No!
09:53Couldn't I just stay with you instead?
09:57Sean?
09:59Sean?
10:05Sean!
10:13How could I let this happen?
10:27If I hadn't let you fall behind?
10:40You wouldn't be.
10:41Sean?
10:43Sean?
10:44He's gonna have to stop.
10:45Sean?
10:47He's gonna have to stop.
10:49He's gonna have to close the window.
10:51I'll be asking the waiting.
10:54Sean!
10:55now listen why the long beak well with this little splint here your wing should
11:03mend in next to no time I miss my mother we all miss our mothers but yours will
11:10be back soon enough and in the spring I expect well she bought a shot as sure as
11:17grasses music oh grass is just grass amazing isn't it a simple blade of grass
11:27and you can squeeze an old tune out of us oh can I have a go of course just hold
11:34the grass there fill your cheeks and blow a little more blow I think
11:47this is fun
12:17what's that
12:19really oh no it's a snowflake and where there's one there's usually more
12:24there's usually more to follow
12:31hmm that's not all they do come on
12:38but why are you so worried about snowflakes they seem harmless enough snowflakes are
12:45harmless but snow is another thing entirely we've got to find you a warm
12:47hidey hole before they begin to gang up on us
12:52and where there's one there's usually more to follow
12:56there now what do you think
13:03it's broken well of course it's broken if it was working there'd be a danger of people taking
13:07it out to sea
13:09oh it smells of seaweed it's the perfect vessel for a voyage to the spring
13:14once we fix that of course
13:21step aboard son and settle in in the morning we go shopping for supplies
13:28squirrels squirrels squirrels squirrels squirrels squirrels squirrels
13:38squirrels squirrels you're just a bunch of razzle
13:43Stopping for supplies.
13:53Squirrels!
13:55Squirrels!
13:57You're just a bunch of rats with perms.
13:59Ha, ha, ha!
14:01Are those your tails, or is someone paying you to dust the branches?
14:04Ha, ha, ha!
14:05Ha, ha, ha!
14:07Ha, ha, ha!
14:09Can you do better than that?
14:11Thanks for the donations, fellas.
14:13Dogs don't eat nuts and berries.
14:16As of today, you do.
14:30What are you doing?
14:32Collecting wool, son, to keep you warm.
14:35Did I ever tell you about the time I was a...
14:37Cardia!
14:45Something on your mind, Sean?
14:48I've been thinking.
14:49No, nothing wrong with that.
14:51In fact, I'd encourage it.
14:53Am I a bad duck?
14:55No.
14:56As far as I can tell, you do the duck thing very well.
15:01Then why didn't my parents come looking for me?
15:05Perhaps they didn't want me anymore.
15:08Perhaps they just...
15:09Shh!
15:14Save the talking bit for later.
15:16Quick, under here!
15:17Oh, no!
15:18Not him!
15:19I gather you've met before.
15:20Here!
15:21Achoo!
15:23Argh!
15:27Ahhh!
15:29Ah!
15:30Mitchell.
15:31haunted me.
15:32Cle'll see your story.
15:33What if it's just not my experience?
15:35No!
15:36Ahhhhh!
15:39TRAVIS.
15:40Evil.
15:41Ahhhhh!
15:42Not him!
15:43I gather you've met before.
15:45Achoo!
15:46Achoo!
15:47Achoo!
15:48And another thing.
16:03If you are what you eat, then you are all just nuts.
16:18That was brilliant, Volley.
16:24Which reminds me, did I ever tell you about the time I was pursued by a vole-eating tiger?
16:30It was like this.
16:37Speak up, son.
16:39I managed to acquire a few more snacks from our squirrel friends.
16:43There.
16:44That little lot should keep you going all winter.
16:47No, no.
16:49You mean keep us going.
16:51You.
16:52Us.
16:53What's the difference?
16:54You're not going to leave me, are you?
16:57Uh, no.
16:59About that.
17:00I've been meaning to have a word or three.
17:03The thing is, well, ducks is ducks.
17:07And voles are different.
17:11You're supposed to fly south for the winter, and me, I'm supposed to sleep.
17:17As a matter of fact, it's well past my bedtime already.
17:22I ought to be hitting the hole.
17:24Take me with you, Volley.
17:26I can sleep too.
17:28Not in a burrow in the ground.
17:30No, no, no.
17:31And not for five months.
17:33I'm sorry.
17:34It's just nature's way.
17:36But Volley, I won't survive without you.
17:39Of course you will.
17:41You've got food and warmth.
17:44And you're Sean.
17:46Sean's a natural survivors.
17:49I could sleep for ages if you told me a very boring bedtime story.
17:54You'd only be up every hour asking me for a glass of water.
18:04Volley!
18:06You, you take care of yourself, okay?
18:11And look out for the lambs.
18:13Lambs means spring.
18:15And spring means...
18:18Volley!
18:33Volley!
18:35Volley!
18:37Don't leave!
18:52Looks like there's a proposition.
18:56You want to promise me that this west side?
18:58You're gonna be crazy.
19:01I mean, when I previously started, I paid some real words without the willingness to plan.
20:06Puffy?
20:08Puffy!
20:10Wake up!
20:12Sean?
20:14Is that you?
20:15Oh, you're frozen stiff.
20:17Come with me.
20:18We've got to get you warm.
20:20What happened to you?
20:34There was so many birds and so much sea and I lost me ma and dad and...
20:41Take it easy, Puffy.
20:43Sure you'll be as good as new in no time.
20:45I'll take care of you.
20:47Thanks, Sean.
20:49And when you're well again, I'll show you how to play music with just a blade of grass.
20:55You've always been smart, Sean.
20:58No, I haven't, Puffy.
21:00But I'm learning.
21:01But I'm learning.
21:03I'm learning.
21:04I'm learning.
21:05I'm learning.
21:06I'll hit you like the wind.
21:07I'm learning.
21:08I'm learning.
21:09I'm learning.
21:11I'm learning.
21:12There's a lot of time.
21:13I'll be looking for a little bit.
21:15I love you.
21:45Puffy, wake up! Come and see! Hello! Puffy, don't you know what this means? Lambs means
22:00spring and spring means... We made it! We made it!
22:06Come on, Puffy! I know a great place to watch our families coming home!
22:36I know a great place to watch our families coming home!
22:41We made it! We made it!
22:46Oh, my God.
23:16Look out below!
23:19Fall patrol to the rescue!
23:24Volly! You came back!
23:26Well, I needed a spot of exercise after such a long sleep.
23:32Boys, I think you better make yourself scarce.
23:40Right, right, come on, give us your best shot!
23:44But Volly!
23:46Go!
23:53Volly!
23:56Run, Sean, he's spotted you!
23:58What?
23:59What?
24:07Oh, my God.
24:37I can fly!
25:07I can fly!
25:08You should have seen me, Voli.
25:09I beat the fox.
25:10I flew!
25:11Come on, wake up, Voli.
25:16Please wake up.
25:19Voli, I did it.
25:23I can fly again.
25:26I can fly!
25:28You should have seen me, Voli.
25:31I beat the fox.
25:33I flew.
25:36Voli?
25:37Didn't I tell you?
25:42If you flapped your feet hard enough, one day you'd make it.
25:46Voli, you're alive!
25:49Look at the sky, Shawn.
26:01There's my mom and dad!
26:04And there's mine!
26:11Oh, I'm sorry.
26:15I thought you were...
26:17Hey, guys.
26:18Remember me?
26:19I'm Shawn.
26:20Have you seen my parents?
26:25Has anyone seen my parents?
26:31They didn't come back.
26:40They didn't come back.
26:46Why are we always the last to leave and the last to return?
27:04We couldn't set off without me whistling.
27:06Ma!
27:07Dad!
27:08It's me!
27:09It's me!
27:11Mother of ducks, it can't be!
27:15It's Shawn.
27:16Ma!
27:17John.
27:18I thought the fox had gotcha.
27:21Oh, don't you just love a happy ending?
27:38Isn't he his father's son?
27:41Yeah.
27:42Hey, Voli!
27:43Would you mind very much if I didn't stay with you next winter?
27:45Of course not.
27:46I guess I'll have to find myself another dancing partner, though.
27:47Whoop.
27:48Whoop!
27:49Whoop!
27:50Whoop!
27:51Whoop!
27:53Hey, Vole, would you mind very much if I didn't stay with you next winter?
27:58Of course not.
28:00I guess I'll have to find myself another dancing partner, though.
28:23Way beyond the snows of winter, far across the darkened skies, lies a hope that springs eternal.
28:47It's a place for you and I.
