00:30Wow! Look at the size of that bird!
00:35He's not as tough as he looks!
00:38And neither are they.
00:44Come on, Puffy, let's scare those gulls.
00:47Do we have to, Sean? They're not doing us any harm.
00:50Puffy, gulls are just stupid. They deserve to be scared.
00:54They have feelings, just like us.
00:56Well, the only feeling they're going to feel right now is panic!
01:00Get him!
01:05Get out of it!
01:10It works every time.
01:12Oh, Sean, what would your ma say?
01:15Sean! Sean! Where the devil is that boy?
01:19We'll be late to my great if he doesn't come home soon.
01:22Ah, easy on the lad. He's just out having fun.
01:26Fun, is it? Well, isn't he his father's son?
01:29Sean's a duck running amok and you just sit there blowing your silly whistle.
01:33Sometimes the two of you...
01:35Keep your beak on now, Mother. He'll be home soon.
01:41We're ready, Mother.
01:43Oh, bless you, my dears.
01:45I'm glad we're not all feather brains in this family.
01:49Hey, Puffy, will you look at this?
01:53Wow!
01:58Hey, let's go for a slide.
02:00More like a fall, Sean.
02:02Go on, it's not that steep.
02:08Except for chickens.
02:10I think we should go home, Sean.
02:12Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!
02:14Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!
02:16Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk!
02:18They must be wondering where we are.
02:20Fine. You run back to your mammy and...
02:25..and leave the heroics to me.
02:29Wow!
02:31Whee!
02:33Oh, oh, oh, oh!
02:38Am I or am I not magnificent?
02:43Speechless, are you?
02:45Sean!
02:59Phew! That was close.
03:07I told you we should have gone home.
03:09What? I missed all that adventure.
03:12Hey, did you see the look on the face of that...
03:14Sean!
03:16Sean Seamus Aloysius Dermot Duck,
03:19what do you think you're doing?
03:21Oh, hello, ma. Only playing.
03:24And have we forgotten what day it is today?
03:27Thirsty?
03:29Oh, it's flying south for the winter day, isn't it, Mrs Duck?
03:33So why aren't you at home getting ready?
03:36Bye, Sean.
03:38Oh, bye, Puffy.
03:41Ma!
03:42Ah, she'll see Puffy again in the spring.
03:45Couldn't we just stay here instead?
03:48Not with winter coming. It'll soon be too cold.
03:51We have to find somewhere warmer.
03:56Ma?
03:57Yes?
03:58Will there be gulls to chase when we get there?
04:07Now, pay attention, everyone.
04:09From now on, we must all stick closely together.
04:14And that means you too, Sean.
04:16Yes, ma.
04:18Now, where on earth's your father?
04:20Stand aside! Emergency landing!
04:23Gangway! Duck!
04:26Ah!
04:28Duck, did you get it?
04:31Nice landing, Dad.
04:34Sorry I'm late.
04:36Sorry I'm late, gang. I forgot me whistle.
04:39Oh, and we wouldn't want that now, would we?
04:41Look! Look at the sky!
04:46Oh, no, would you look at that? It's started.
04:49We mustn't be left behind.
04:59All set, everyone?
05:01Rudders?
05:07Wings?
05:13All cleared for take-off?
05:19Go!
05:21Go!
05:34Oh, boy!
05:36Gulls!
05:38Yeah!
05:42Whey!
05:45Come back!
05:47Come and play!
05:52Where's everyone gone?
05:54Ma?
05:56Ma, where are you?
05:59Can anyone hear me?
06:04Is that you, Ma?
06:06Ma?
06:08Is that you?
06:13Help!
06:21Help!
06:41Sean! Where's Sean?
06:43We've lost Sean! Sean!
06:45He must have taken a wrong turning in the cloud cover.
06:48Relax, Mother. He's just dragging his wings a little.
06:51I'll go back and look for him.
06:53No, no, you stay with the little ones.
06:55I'll go and we'll catch you up.
07:14Pay on someone your own size.
07:19Ma!
07:21Come back!
07:23Don't leave me here!
07:28Ma!
07:34Oh!
07:40Oh!
07:42Good morning, darling.
07:46Good morning, Duck.
07:50It looks to me like your flight has been cancelled.
07:54Go away.
07:56Go away? And we have only just met.
07:58Now then, where are your manners?
08:00Nostrum.
08:02Now, leave me alone. I'm all right.
08:04And I'm a Voli.
08:06Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. All Right.
08:10The name is Sean.
08:12Ouch!
08:14You're not all right, are you?
08:16I think I've broken me wing.
08:19Now, that does present a bit of a dilemma, you see.
08:22A broken wing means no flying.
08:24And no flying means no flying south for the winter.
08:27And no flying south for the winter means...
08:29Well, it doesn't matter what that means for the moment.
08:32If you can't fly on your own, perhaps you just need a little help.
08:41Are you sure about this?
08:43Absolutely, absolutely.
08:45You are only talking to one of Ireland's greatest pilots.
08:48I've never heard of a roll flying before.
08:51It was in all the newspapers.
08:53We don't get all the newspapers.
08:55OK, now, after take-off, remember to flap your feet as hard as possible.
08:59And keep on flapping like the clappers
09:01till you see coconuts and palm trees.
09:03Now, off you go.
09:08Hmm, well, I do have another idea.
09:13Now, this is a little trick I learnt when I was an astronaut.
09:17See you next spring.
09:19Ooh!
09:29Couldn't I just stay with you instead?
09:34Sean! Sean!
09:40Sean!
09:43Sean!
10:01Oh, no!
10:03Sean!
10:05Sean!
10:09How could I let this happen?
10:12If I hadn't let you fall behind, you wouldn't be...
10:16Oh!
10:30And now fly the long beak, huh?
10:33Now, with this little splint here,
10:35your wings should mend in next to no time.
10:38I miss me mother.
10:40We all miss our mothers.
10:42But yours will be back soon enough, eh?
10:45In the spring, I expect.
10:47Will she, Foley?
10:49Oh, as sure as grass is musical.
10:51Oh, grass is just grass.
10:57Amazing, isn't it, huh?
10:59A simple blade of grass and you can knock an old tune out of it.
11:02Can I have a go?
11:04Of course. Just hold the grass there.
11:07Fill your cheeks and blow.
11:12A little more blow, I think.
11:32This is fun!
12:03What's that, Foley?
12:05Oh, no.
12:07It's a snowflake.
12:09And where there's one, there's usually more to follow.
12:12Ha, ha, ha!
12:14Ah, a tickle!
12:16Hmm, that's not all they do.
12:18Come on!
12:25But why are you so worried about snowflakes?
12:28Should they seem harmless enough?
12:30Snowflakes are harmless.
12:32But snow is another thing entirely.
12:34We've got to find you a warm hidey-hole
12:36before they begin to gang up on us.
12:38There, now. What do you think?
12:42It's broken.
12:44Of course it's broken.
12:46If it was working, there'd be a danger of people taking it out to sea.
12:49Ugh, it smells of seaweed.
12:51It's the perfect vessel for snorkelling.
12:54Ugh, it smells of seaweed.
12:56It's the perfect vessel for a voyage to the spring.
13:02Once we've fixed that, of course.
13:04Well...
13:06Step aboard, son, and settle in.
13:08In the morning, we'll go shopping for supplies.
13:19Squirrels!
13:21Squirrels!
13:23Or just a bunch of rats with perms.
13:26Are those your tails?
13:28Or is someone paying you to dust the branches?
13:33Missed!
13:35Missed!
13:37Thanks, fellas. All donations welcome.
13:39Ducks don't eat nuts and berries.
13:42As of today, you do.
13:54What are you doing?
13:56Collecting wool, son, to keep you warm.
13:59Did I ever tell you about the time I was a cowboy?
14:09Something on your mind, Sean?
14:11I've been thinking.
14:13Oh, nothing wrong with that.
14:15In fact, I'd encourage it.
14:17Am I a bad duck?
14:19No.
14:21As far as I can tell, you do the duck thing very well.
14:24Then why didn't my parents come looking for me?
14:28Perhaps they didn't want me anymore.
14:31Perhaps they didn't...
14:37Save the talking bit for later.
14:39Quick, under here.
14:44No, not him.
14:46I gather you've met before.
14:51No.
14:57Achoo!
15:22And another thing.
15:24If you are what you eat, then you are all just nuts.
15:41That was brilliant, Foley.
15:43Which reminds me, did I ever tell you about the time
15:46I was pursued by a vole-eating tiger?
15:52Peek up, son.
15:54I managed to acquire a few more snacks from our squirrel friends.
15:58There, that little lot should keep you going all winter.
16:01No, no.
16:03You mean keep us going.
16:05You, us, what's the difference?
16:08You're not going to leave me, are you?
16:11Uh, no.
16:13About that, I've been meaning to have a word or three with you.
16:18About that, I've been meaning to have a word or three.
16:21The thing is, well, ducks is ducks,
16:25and voles are different.
16:29You're supposed to fly south for the winter,
16:31and me, I'm supposed to sleep.
16:37As a matter of fact, it's well past my bedtime already.
16:40I ought to be hitting the hole.
16:42Take me with you, Foley. I can sleep too.
16:45Not in a burrow in the ground.
16:47No, no, and not for five months.
16:49I'm sorry, it's just nature's way.
16:53But, Foley, I won't survive without you.
16:56Of course you will.
16:58You've got food and warmth, and you're Sean.
17:03Sean's our natural survivors.
17:05I could sleep for ages if you told me a very boring bedtime story.
17:10You'd only be up every hour asking me for a glass of water.
17:15Foley!
17:17You...
17:19You take care of yourself, okay?
17:22And look out for the lambs.
17:24Lambs mean spring, and spring means...
17:45Foley!
17:48Foley!
18:14Foley!
18:44Foley!
19:15Puffy?
19:17Puffy, wake up!
19:20Sean, is that you?
19:23Oh, you frozen stiff, come with me.
19:25We've got to get you warm.
19:44What happened to you?
19:46There was so many birds and so much seeing.
19:49I lost my ma and dad.
19:51Oh, take it easy, Puffy.
19:53Surely you'll be as good as new in no time.
19:55I'll take care of you.
19:57Thanks, Sean.
19:59And when you're well again,
20:01I'll show you how to play music with just a plate of grass.
20:05You've always been smart, Sean.
20:08No, I haven't, Puffy, but I'm learning.
20:14♪
20:45Puffy?
20:47Puffy? Puffy, wake up!
20:50Come and see!
20:54Hello!
20:57Puffy, don't you know what this means?
21:00Lambs mean spring, and spring means...
21:04We made it! We made it!
21:07Hooray!
21:09Hooray!
21:11We made it!
21:16Yeah!
21:22Come on, Puffy.
21:24We know a great place to watch our families coming home.
21:34Ah!
21:37Ah!
21:39Ah!
21:58Hurry, Sean!
22:07Hurry!
22:10Ah!
22:12Oh, no!
22:19Look out below!
22:22Bubble Patrol to the rescue!
22:27Horny, you came back!
22:30Well, I needed a spot of exercise after such a long sleep.
22:34Boys, I think you'd better make yourselves scarce.
22:42Right, right, come on. Give us your best shot.
22:46But, Horny...
22:47Go!
22:51Whoa!
22:54Horny!
22:57Run, Sean! He's spotted you!
23:03Ah!
23:26Ah!
23:33I can fly!
24:04Roly?
24:09Come on, wake up, Roly.
24:12Please, wake up.
24:15Roly, I did it.
24:18I can fly again.
24:21I can fly!
24:24You should have seen me, Roly.
24:26I beat the fox. I flew.
24:29Roly?
24:34Didn't I tell you?
24:35If you flapped your feet hard enough, one day you'd make it.
24:38Oh, Roly, you're alive!
24:41Be careful.
24:43Look at the sky, Sean.
24:53There's my man, Dad!
24:57There's my man, Dad!
25:04And there's mine!
25:09Oh, I'm sorry.
25:11I thought you were...
25:13Hey, guys, remember me?
25:15I'm Sean.
25:17Have you seen my parents?
25:21Has anyone seen my parents?
25:35They didn't come back.
25:51Why are we always the last to leave and the last to return?
25:55We couldn't set off without me whistle.
25:57Ma! Dad, it's me!
26:00It's me!
26:02Molting Mary, mother of ducks!
26:05It can't be!
26:07That's Sean!
26:11Ma!
26:12Sean!
26:14I thought the fox had got you.
26:17I thought the fox had got you.
26:28Ah, don't you just love a happy ending?
26:32Isn't he his father's son?
26:35Yeah.
26:38Hey, Roly, would you mind very much if I didn't stay with you next winter?
26:43Of course not.
26:45I guess I'll have to find myself another dancing partner, though.
27:37It's a place for you and I
