00:05 - Have you ever heard of a Boodle Beetle?
00:08 Well, confidentially, neither have we.
00:12 But it seems that long ago,
00:13 these little creatures were plentiful.
00:15 But because of an inborn love for travel and adventure,
00:19 the Boodle Beetle is now a rare little bug.
00:21 The bug collector, or the entomologist,
00:25 regards this little bug as a prize for his collection.
00:29 (playful music)
00:31 Going somewhere, sonny?
00:34 I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry if I were you.
00:40 There's danger lurking out in them woods,
00:42 and you're just setting yourself for a heap of trouble.
00:46 You know, there's not many of us Boodles left,
00:50 and it's just because too many of them
00:52 have set out across that stream and never come back.
00:56 And here you go, setting your cap for the same medicine.
01:00 Sit down, sonny, and let me tell you a story.
01:03 When I was a young pup and full of vinegar,
01:10 (laughs)
01:11 just like yourself,
01:13 I had ideas of adventure, too.
01:15 So, I packed my bag and said goodbye to my home.
01:21 I'm a little funny about this sentimental stuff.
01:25 And set out for what was gonna be
01:27 the doggone-est adventure.
01:29 I'll have to admit, it was pretty fascinating at first.
01:34 (playful music)
01:37 Well, I never had anything like this.
01:50 Uh-oh, what's this?
01:53 Big, tall things that disappear in the sky.
01:57 (dramatic music)
01:59 (thunder rumbling)
02:08 Phew, a bug sure has to be careful
02:16 when he's out looking for adventure.
02:19 But unknown to me at the time,
02:20 there was lurking in the forest a horrible monster.
02:24 (grumbling)
02:29 Well, I guess I must have walked
02:42 hundreds of miles that first day.
02:45 I was just picking them up and laying them down.
02:50 I just didn't feel up to it.
02:53 So, I thought I'd lay down for a little shut-eye
02:56 and tackle it in the morning.
02:58 Well, suddenly, I had the feeling I wasn't alone.
03:04 And there, on top of the mountain,
03:06 I saw a most amazing thing.
03:09 Well, being a curious little fellow,
03:10 I decided to investigate.
03:13 And there it was, a horrible monster,
03:16 millions of feet high.
03:18 I sneaked out to get a better look,
03:19 and suddenly, it moved.
03:21 Huh?
03:23 I looked again.
03:24 Two hideous eyes glared at me.
03:26 (dramatic music)
03:33 A poodle-bigger, it's him.
03:35 Hooray, I got him, I got him.
03:37 (laughing)
03:39 Come on, small fry, that's not much of a time.
03:43 (laughing)
03:45 Oh, no, you don't, you little schmuck.
03:48 (speaking gibberish)
03:51 (explosion booms)
03:56 (speaking gibberish)
04:00 (barking)
04:09 (playful music)
04:17 (sighing)
04:19 (barking)
04:24 Gotcha.
04:25 How do you like it, Schroeder?
04:28 (barking)
04:30 (speaking gibberish)
04:35 So, there I was, headed for I don't know what.
04:40 It was simply too late.
04:43 I was headed for I don't know what.
04:46 It was simply terrifying.
04:49 I tried again and again to escape,
04:52 but it was no use.
04:53 If only I had listened to Mama.
04:58 (speaking gibberish)
05:01 Now what?
05:07 The door opened, and there he was.
05:11 I realized that this was my last chance.
05:13 It was now or never.
05:15 (speaking gibberish)
05:19 (whistling)
05:27 (barking)
05:29 (thudding)
05:32 (barking)
05:40 (whistling)
05:43 (speaking gibberish)
05:46 Well, sir, I was one happy little bug.
05:53 And do you think I cared what folks thought
05:56 about the sentimental stuff?
05:58 No, siree.
05:59 So, you see, sonny, home isn't such a bad place after all.
06:08 (sniffing)
06:10 (laughing)
06:13 Oh, I was just thinking.
06:16 For all I know, that monster may be looking for me yet.
06:20 (thudding)
06:23 (speaking gibberish)
06:27 I don't know.
