00:00...headlights and swerved and didn't hit the dog because he saw the dog.
00:04How did he see the dog?
00:05How did he see the dog, Gord?
00:06I'll tell you after our next show on Rupert.
00:08Oh, that's so fair!
00:09We gotta go.
00:10We'll see you in 27 and a half minutes.
00:11Stay tuned and I'll tell you how.
00:38We'll see you in the next show.
01:13We'll see you in the next show.
01:58We'll see you in the next show.
02:00Melons!
02:01Pardon?
02:02I forgot the melons.
02:03I'll only be a second, Rupert.
02:06Not again.
02:09Oops!
02:12Sorry, Rupert.
02:13Did I scare you?
02:15Maybe just a little.
02:17Why, hello, Tiger Lily.
02:19This is a nice surprise.
02:21That's putting it mildly.
02:23Rupert, I was hoping you could come to my house for lunch.
02:27Dad?
02:28Oranges.
02:29Pardon?
02:29I forgot the oranges.
02:31I'll only be a second.
02:33I'll be there as soon as I can, Tiger Lily.
02:37Goodbye!
02:38Bye!
02:44Shopping with Dad always takes twice as long as it's supposed to.
02:48His, I'll only be a second's can really add up.
02:55I'm terribly sorry.
02:57I was in a rush to get to the conjurer's house, and I didn't see you.
03:02Ah, the conjurer.
03:04You know him?
03:05Yes.
03:06I'm a friend of his daughter, Tiger Lily.
03:09Ah, this is indeed a coincidence.
03:12Many years ago, the conjurer and I were great friends.
03:16But then we had a terrible disagreement.
03:19Now I have come with a peace offering.
03:22A gift for the conjurer's daughter, your friend, Tiger Lily.
03:27You see, the arrival of a gift is the first step in healing an old wound.
03:33It is an old Chinese custom.
03:36Perhaps you could take it for me.
03:38Well, I suppose I could, but...
03:41And then, by the time I arrive, I am sure the conjurer will be ready to be my friend once
03:48again.
03:49I'll be glad to.
03:51Oh, I almost forgot.
03:53What's your name?
03:54So I can tell the conjurer you're coming.
03:56I prefer it to be a surprise.
03:59He will know when the gift is open.
04:02Be sure to give it to his daughter.
04:05Tiger Lily loves surprises.
04:08Bye!
04:09So do I, my little friend.
04:12So do I.
04:14He he he he.
04:15He he he.
04:18A gift?
04:20For me?
04:21Oh, it's beautiful.
04:24Look, Father.
04:26Rupert brought me a gift.
04:28Tiger Lily.
04:30No, don't.
04:35Tiger Lily.
04:37What's wrong?
04:38What's happened to Tiger Lily?
04:40It's the Twilight Band.
04:42Rupert, where did you get this?
04:44From an elderly man I met on the way.
04:47He said he was an old friend of yours.
04:49Tung Lai.
04:51That was not an old friend you met.
04:54Tung Lai is my deadly enemy.
04:57But, but he seems such a kindly old man.
05:01Things are not always what they seem.
05:04He is an evil sorcerer who was banished by the Emperor.
05:08When I replaced him as court magician, he swore he'd never forgive me.
05:13The Twilight Fan is his revenge.
05:18Oh, no.
05:20What's it done to Tiger Lily?
05:22One wave from the fan puts its victim into a deep sleep.
05:27A Twilight from which they will never awaken.
05:32Never?
05:33But there must be a way to break the spell.
05:36There must be.
05:38We can only hope.
05:47There is a way.
05:49The sleeping spell of the Twilight Fan can only be broken by fanning the victim with a tail feather from
05:57the Dove of Dawn.
05:59The Dove of Dawn?
06:01Yes.
06:02It is said that only one such bird exists.
06:05It dwells in the Kingdom of Birds.
06:07Then we must go there right away.
06:11No, Rupert.
06:11I must stay here with Tiger Lily.
06:14Then I'll go.
06:15The Professor can take me in one of his flying machines.
06:19Give him this map.
06:20It shows the way to the Bird Kingdom.
06:23Go, Rupert.
06:24With all speed.
06:34Bodkin!
06:35I...
06:35I must talk to the Professor.
06:37Oh, yes.
06:38I mean, no.
06:40I'm sorry, Rupert.
06:41He's not here.
06:42Won't be back for days.
06:43But surely I can help.
06:45After all, I am the Professor's helper.
06:49Could you fly this?
06:51Well, yes.
06:53I mean, no.
06:54But you said...
06:55It's totally out of the question.
06:58This is the Professor's newest invention.
07:00He told me to be very careful with it.
07:03I wouldn't want anything.
07:05But Tiger Lily has been put under a sleeping spell.
07:08If you don't help me, she'll sleep forever.
07:15Now, uh, let's see.
07:17Uh, forward propeller backwards.
07:19Starboard propeller forward.
07:21Port lever sideways.
07:23Whoa!
07:25No, no.
07:26I mean, starboard propeller backwards.
07:31That's better.
07:33Now I've got it.
07:38Starboard propeller backwards.
07:46I hope we're going to be there soon.
07:52Ah!
07:55No.
07:56Uh, uh, starboard propeller forward.
07:59Uh, rear propeller sideways.
08:01Uh, rear propeller sideways.
08:03Bonkens, do something!
08:06Uh, stop!
08:12You did it.
08:14As if there was ever any doubt.
08:18Ah!
08:26Perfect landing.
08:28Well, almost.
08:32It looks like we've got a welcoming committee.
08:36They must be impressed with the professor's new flying machine.
08:40Birds know good flying when they see it.
08:44The king...
08:53This is an emergency.
08:55Please, we must speak to the...
08:56The king of birds demands that you be brought to him at once.
09:01It won't be long now.
09:02I'll get a feather from the Dove of Dawn, and Tiger Lily will be saved.
09:18You're matched.
09:20Whoa!
09:25You're matched!
09:26I've seen a lot of bird houses in my day.
09:29But this one takes the biscuit.
09:31Your Majesty.
09:34Oh, right.
09:35Your Majesty.
09:37We have come on a matter of the utmost importance.
09:40There's a young girl in that wood who...
09:42A flying machine?
09:44You come to the bird kingdom in a flying machine?
09:48Remarkable, isn't it?
09:50It flies backwards, sideways.
09:53Did you see how I stopped in front of that tower?
09:55If you like, I'll take you up for a fly...
09:57That flying machine...
09:59Any flying machine is an insult.
10:02An affront to birds everywhere.
10:05Well, I'll admit it.
10:07It does need a little work.
10:08Only birds are meant to fly.
10:11But, Your Majesty, we didn't mean...
10:13Guards, cage them immediately.
10:16And see to it that their flying machine...
10:20Is destroyed.
10:22No, you can't.
10:24The professor will have a fit.
10:26If I don't help Tiger Lily...
10:28She'll sleep forever.
10:33It's...
10:34Ponyland!
10:40Ponyland is a world of fun for my little pony and me.
10:45In Ponyland, there's a secret surprise.
10:48The secret surprise pony keeps it inside.
10:52She opens with a key and has a surprise for me.
10:56Ponyland is a world of fun for secret surprise pony and me.
11:02Secret surprise pony comes with a comb, key, and toy jewelry surprise.
11:07Eat those separately.
11:09You sure have a crunchy cereal, Captain.
11:11Yeah, I want a bowl.
11:13So do we.
11:14Uh-oh.
11:16Soggies.
11:16I'll clam them up for good.
11:21Cap'n Crunch cereal is part of a balanced breakfast.
11:23Yum!
11:24Now you can get a Cap'n Crunch topper and...
11:27Move them up, down, all around, bend them, scrunch them, bunch them, flex them.
11:31They're cool.
11:32Whoa.
11:33Oh!
11:34Yeah!
11:35One of four toppers and specially marked boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal.
11:39Escape incredible dangers with the new Canyon of Doom Race set.
11:44Two tough mountain jeeps battle wheel to wheel through Scarlet Mountain.
11:49Scoop round raging rapids.
11:50Tear into the abandoned mine.
11:52And through the blistering volcano of fire.
11:56Cross the broken bridge.
11:57Dual down rock slide trail.
12:00Now you blast ahead and escape through Inca's Gate.
12:03All right!
12:05Canyon of Doom Electric Race set.
12:07New from Playtoy.
12:09You like my new pooch?
12:11His name is Sarge.
12:12He's the strongest dog around.
12:14Brrrr.
12:15Oh, yeah?
12:16Body's a scooter.
12:19Well, Scooter's legs make him the fastest.
12:22He is always on guard, ready for anything.
12:26It's Pooch Patrol.
12:27Nine original, lovable pooches that stand on guard for every girl and boy.
12:31Each sold separately.
12:34Pooch Patrol.
12:35The joys.
12:36That's all the noise up there.
12:37It's a grand toy.
12:40Brrrr.
12:41Brrrr.
12:43Brrrr.
12:45Brrrr.
12:51Brrrr.
12:57This is terrible. We have to get out of here.
13:01You said it. If they so much as scratch the professor's fly machine, I'll...
13:06Not that. I mean to save Tiger Lily.
13:09If we could only get these bars apart.
13:14The bars are no problem.
13:16As the professor always says, what I lack in stature, I make up for in strength.
13:25Amazing!
13:27It's the height that's the problem.
13:29Now what are we supposed to do? Fly away?
13:32Our only chance is to swing the cage over to that open window.
13:43One...
13:46Two...
13:48One...
13:49One...
13:49Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
13:53Ha-ha-ha-ha!
13:55Whee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!
14:00Ha-ha-ha!
14:01Ahchoo!
14:04A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
14:05Ahchoo!
14:07Ahchoo!
14:08Ahchoo!
14:09Ahchoo!
14:10Let's go!
14:11If we don't rescue the flying machine, we'll be trapped here forever!
14:15I'm not leaving until I have a tail feather from a dub of dawn, but we'll never find it
14:21We don't even know where to start looking then I must talk to the bird King the bird King
14:28Listen, you don't have to be a wise old owl to know that old buzzer doesn't give a hoot. We
14:33have to try
14:47What a ridiculous notion. Imagine the nerve of those wingless creatures thinking they could fly
14:55Where do they get such ideas? They were meant to walk on the ground
15:00Only birds are meant to soar on high through the clouds, lighter than the wind itself
15:09Destroy it immediately
15:19No, they did not just fly away
15:23Oh, carry on. I want this flying machine reduced to nuts and bolts
15:43I tell you Rupert. There's no way you'll get him to listen
15:47We're just going to wind up back where we started. We have to take that chance. I'm sure
15:53I can convince him
15:56Your majesty
15:57It seems that the prisoners have
16:01Yes
16:03If he
16:05You
16:06Bird Brains
16:08Find them and this time throw them in the tower
16:14I say
16:15I say we go back and get the flying machine
16:17Now
16:18I have to make the King listen
16:20It's my fault Bodkin
16:23It's my fault that Tiger Lily can't wake up
16:26If I could only get him alone
16:29If I could only get him alone
16:31Bodkin
16:32Bodkin
16:33Hey you chicken hocks
16:35You'll never catch me with those feather dusters you call wings
16:43What are you waiting for? Get him
16:46You heard the King
16:48What are you waiting for? Get him
16:53Well, what are you waiting for?
16:56Get him
16:58Sire
16:58Get him
17:00Yes sire
17:02Right away
17:04Sire
17:07Good old Bodkin
17:12Yes I got that one
17:15Ha ha ha
17:16I knew you cuckoos could never catch me
17:19Whoa
17:20This is for the birds
17:23Your majesty
17:26How
17:27How dare you
17:29Your majesty
17:30I must speak with you
17:32Guards
17:33Guards
17:34Your majesty
17:36Please listen to me
17:38Take him away
17:39Yes your majesty
17:41Immediately
17:42You don't understand
17:44If you don't help me she'll sleep forever
17:47Put me down you overgrown hummingbird
17:50No
17:58You're going to wreck the professor's flying machine
18:15This is an outrage
18:23You don't know your altimeter from your gyroscope
18:26You don't know your altimeter from your gyroscope
18:29Then again neither do I
18:44I command you to bring that flying machine down here immediately
18:49I think that's what they're doing sire
19:08Your majesty
19:10Your majesty
19:28I did it. As if there was ever any doubt.
19:37You've assaulted the king. God's God.
19:42You, you, you saved my life.
19:47What's that got to do with?
19:51Well, well, of course he did. And what a brave little wingless bear he is.
19:59How can I thank you?
20:01I came here to save my friend Tiger Lily.
20:04I need a tail feather from the Dove of Dawn to awaken her from an evil sleeping spell.
20:09The Dove of Dawn? I think you had better come with me.
20:17The Dove of Dawn is a most honored member of the bird kingdom.
20:22She ushers in the dawn each day.
20:27It's beautiful.
20:29There are no others like her in the entire world.
20:32You have no idea what this means to me, Your Majesty.
20:35I'm afraid you don't understand, Rupert. I cannot grant the favor you ask.
20:42You see, the Dove of Dawn only has one tail feather. If you take this feather, the Dove will never
20:49fly again.
20:50But without the tail feather, Tiger Lily will never awaken from the spell of the Twilight Fan.
20:57A bird cannot be happy if it cannot fly. Is there no other way to help your friend?
21:05No.
21:08Then take my feather.
21:10What?
21:11I will gladly give you my feather if it will save your friend.
21:15I could never be happy knowing that I had the power to save a little girl and did nothing.
21:28No!
21:30But what about your friend?
21:32The Conjurer said Tiger Lily could be awakened by fanning her with a tail feather of the Dove of Dawn.
21:38He didn't say anything about removing it.
21:41Your Majesty, could the Dove come back with me to Nutwood?
21:45Of course, Rupert.
21:50Both of you are welcome any time in the bird kingdom.
21:53I suppose I could even get used to your flying machine.
21:57I can understand how flightless creatures must want to experience a bird's joy of flying.
22:04Penguins, too.
22:07Perhaps when you return, you could give the penguins flying lessons.
22:10It would be my pleasure, Your Majesty.
22:14And now to Nutwood.
22:15Goodbye!
22:16Goodbye!
22:19Goodbye!
22:24Extra!
22:25Extra!
22:25Read all about it!
22:26Animation pictures discovered!
22:27No human hand could possibly draw this way.
22:32Until now!
22:34Introducing Pen Doodle-um!
22:36The fantastic drawing machine that you control!
22:39They're unearthly!
22:51New from Irwin!
22:54Something's weird at the museum.
22:56The guard is having these new Cruncharoos with breakfast.
22:58And the amazing Crunchy noise wakes up Rex, the Crunchasaurus.
23:02Yeah, Cruncharoos.
23:03To get those crunchy Cruncharoos, with the actual taste of toasted oats, Rex is almost anything.
23:11Outstanding, Rex.
23:15New Cruncharoos from Kellogg's.
23:17Cruncharoos.
23:18When you gotta crunch, you gotta crunch.
23:20The Crunch is four-sized crunch in honey nut and apple cinnamon.
23:24Joey, where you going?
23:26I'm wearing some bubbles, Mom.
23:27Ba-ba-ba-ba-bubbles.
23:29It's coming!
23:29He's here!
23:30I'm gonna blow blowing bubbles.
23:32Bubbles, ba-bop.
23:33Every time I walk in, she starts blowing bubbles.
23:36Hey!
23:37Way to blow, Bubbles!
23:38I can't believe it!
23:39Bubbles is a puppy, and Bubbles are southeast and up.
23:42Let's go!
23:43Whomp!
23:44He's blowing more bubbles.
23:46Bubbles!
23:48It's Bubbles, the pup from play school.
23:51Batteries and bubble solution not included.
23:57Bob꼭 says?
23:59Bubble Fudge says hunts!
23:59Dieu ever!
24:00Boom!
24:00Super silly arm and super silly ears.
24:02Super silly purple and super silly hair!
24:04Super silly hair!
24:05And super silly tratten of survey.
24:06Unes the mr. cassaroos.
24:07It's Super Buckethead's Biggerly Bugs.
24:09Explain why the kids you're babysitting now have green hair.
24:13It was a science experiment?
24:14Now you can live the adventure of all the Babysitter's Club books
24:17when you play the Babysitter's Club game.
24:20It's what babysitting's all about.
24:23Nice kitty.
24:31It's worked!
24:33What? What happened?
24:35Oh, Tiger Lily, my precious daughter.
24:39I... I must have fallen asleep.
24:42Oh, yes, my little Blossom.
24:44But now you have awakened, and that is all that matters.
24:56I want to thank you.
24:59Both of you.
25:00Helping is what helpers do best.
25:02It was an honor, Rupert.
25:06Now I must return.
25:08Farewell.
25:10Goodbye!
25:14Why are you meddling, little bear?
25:18Tongue Lai.
25:19You have interfered enough.
25:28Tongue Lai.
25:29It is you who has interfered.
25:32Ah, conjurer.
25:33Now, finally, I will take my revenge.
25:36Father!
25:37Father!
25:38Father!
25:38Father!
25:38No!
25:40Remember the first rule of magic.
25:42Things are not always what they seem.
25:45You have one chance.
25:47Which of us is your true opponent?
25:50Choose wisely.
25:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:54Fool.
25:59Oh, no!
26:01Father!
26:02And now you, little bear.
26:04It is you who are the fool, Tongue Lai.
26:07It is you who are the fool, Tongue Lai.
26:15Oh, father.
26:16How...
26:17How did you do that?
26:20Rupert, the good magician never reveals his secrets.
26:23Now, if I recall correctly, we were about to sit down to lunch.
26:29Perhaps we can find some worms for you, Tung Lai.
26:40Boo!
26:42I scared you again, Rupert.
26:44I wasn't scared.
26:45Then why did you jump?
26:47I didn't jump.
26:49Well, maybe just a little.
26:55Where's the Italian pastry?
26:57Why, she's living on the river in a rickety shack with the kids and Cary Grant.
27:02Sophia Loren stars in tonight's YTV family classic, Houseboat, at 8 o'clock.
27:10Sp наб benut.

28:44That's the best meteor shower I've ever seen.
28:48The sky is so clear tonight.
28:50Yes, Tiger, you could even see the man in the moon.
28:54I believe that's girl in the moon, Rupert.
28:58Oh, well, I suppose we should be going in.
29:01Let's wait until we see just one more shooting star.
29:04Okay, one more, for good luck.
29:06Look!
29:07I don't think this star knows where it's going to fall.
29:10It's coming this way.
29:12Wow, it's the brightest star tonight.
29:16Whoa, sorry.
29:18A star that talks?
29:20Whoa.
29:21It's the Sage of Um.
29:22Oh.
29:23The Sage of what?
29:25No, the Sage of Um.
29:26Um Island.
29:27That's where he lives.
29:28Oh, dear.
29:29Hello, Sage!
29:32Oh, Tiger Nilly.
29:34I'm afraid I can't stay.
29:36I must go back to Um Island!
29:40Something's wrong, Rupert.
29:42He always stops to visit my father.
29:44They're very old friends.
29:45Maybe he's in some sort of trouble.
29:48I hope not, but you might be right.
29:51Come on, we'll use my father's magic.
29:56Will we really be able to see what's happening on Um Island?
30:00I hope so.
30:02I've never done this by myself before.
30:11The Island of Um.
30:12And there's the Sage.
30:17It's...
30:18It's a unicorn!
30:19Um Island is the secret refuge of the last herd of unicorns.
30:24The Sage is their protector.
30:26Oh!
30:27Stop!
30:28Do you hear?
30:29Leave him alone!
30:33What's happening?
30:34No!
30:35Get back!
30:37Run!
30:38Quick!
30:39Run!
30:40Run!
30:45Run!
30:47Oh, but...
30:48Something terrible is happening on Um Island.
30:51We have to help them.
30:56One for a cloud to make.
30:58The other for the wind to take.
31:02To the Island of Um.
31:17Rupert, look! The sage is flying Bella, but no sign of the sage.
31:23Rupert, I have a bad feeling. There is other magic at work on the island. Evil magic.
31:30Oh, what's happening?
31:41Hold on, tiger.
31:50Are you all right?
31:53Yes.
31:59Come on. I think it came from over there.
32:03Rupert, we must be careful until we find out who or what is on this island.
32:12Look, the unicorns. They seem afraid of something. But what? I don't see anything. Do you?
32:21Yes!
32:25This way!
32:36Phew. For a second there, I thought we were in trouble.
32:42Perhaps you could put us down now? Please?
32:46Put us down this instant!
32:48What she means is we're awfully sorry we bothered your... bird... cat... pet!
32:56See? You just have to be polite.
33:00First you must answer to the great and powerful Enchander.
33:05Then we'll see if my little pet would like to play.
33:18What were you doing near my unicorns?
33:22Well, you see, sir...
33:24Those aren't your unicorns. They don't belong to anyone.
33:27Silence! I am the great and powerful Enchanter. I demand silence!
33:34Perhaps if we all take a turn talking, then no one is interrupted and...
33:38Silence! You will give me the respect I deserve.
33:47Why... why you're just a boy.
33:50Don't call me that. I'm not a boy. I'm...
33:53A great and powerful Enchanter.
33:57Boy. I'll show you.
34:08I'd like to see any boy do that.
34:11You can't scare me with your little tricks.
34:14They are not tricks.
34:16It's the power of...
34:18Me! The Master of Um Island!
34:22This isn't your island. You're trespassing here.
34:25What have you done with the sage?
34:27It's my island now.
34:29And I say you must bow down to me. Bow down right now!
34:39Take them to their sage.
34:41The Enchanter has spoken!
34:45They're gonna be sorry.
34:48Once I have the unicorn's horns, then I'll be big!
34:52We'll see who gets the respect around here.
34:59I'll show them all.
35:01I'll be big!
35:10Rupert, there's no one here.
35:12I bet the sage used his magic to escape.
35:16Well, yes.
35:17Escaping was foremost on my mind.
35:19But I seem to have made a...
35:20Well, a slight miscalculation.
35:24Sage?
35:25Is that you?
35:27Well, um, yes.
35:29I'm afraid so.
35:30You see, I had intended to change into a butterfly.
35:34But, um...
35:36I wonder, would you be so kind?
35:38I need this pouch open, and I really could use a hand.
35:43Now, sprinkle a pinch of powder over me.
35:47Yes, that's it!
35:50You're safe.
35:51Yes.
35:52But I'm afraid that still leaves us trapped in here.
35:55Fortunately, there's more than one way to...
35:59Skin a cat.
36:03Oh, I'm sorry.
36:04Who are you?
36:06Rupert Bear.
36:07Pleased to meet you.
36:08Ah, yes.
36:09You were with Tiger Lily when I flew past.
36:11I'm sorry I couldn't stop.
36:13The unicorns were in trouble.
36:15Why is the Enchanter after them?
36:18You see, the Enchanter is a boy who wants to grow up more than anything else.
36:24Everyone grows up eventually.
36:26All he has to do is wait.
36:28That's just it.
36:29He's the most impatient little boy I've ever met.
36:32Now, just because he's learned a few tricks, he thinks he knows everything.
36:36He believes there is magic that can make him grown up instantly.
36:40And he's convinced that this magic requires one special ingredient.
36:46The horns of the unicorns!
36:49Not their horns!
36:50He can't!
36:51And he won't!
36:53I won't let him!
36:54I'll use my magic to put a stop to this foolishness before it's too late.
36:58Stand back!
37:01Whoa, whoa, whoa!
37:02Well, by that tickles!
37:04Aha!
37:06Ahem!
37:07Yes!
37:08Yes, here we are.
37:09And now, behold the golden path to freedom!
37:13Ahem!
37:14Ahem!
37:16Ahem!
37:16It looks more like the golden path of dandelions.
37:20Ahem!
37:21Ahem!
37:22Ahem!
37:23Ahem!
37:24Ahem!
37:24Ahem!
37:25I just have to weed out the proper pouch.
37:29Ahem!
37:31Aha!
37:31Yes, this is it!
37:32The purple one!
37:34And now, behold the golden path to freedom!
37:40Oh, why am I always getting my magic dust mixed up?
37:46Oh, now, wait a minute.
37:47This is exactly what I'm looking for.
37:49My purple...
37:51Sog?
37:55Oh, the poor unicorns.
37:59How will we ever get out of here?
38:01Perhaps if I squeeze through that crack, I might find a way out.
38:05Good idea, Rupert.
38:06There is one unicorn that has managed to avoid being captured.
38:11You must find her and keep her safe from the enchanter until Tiger Lily and I can escape.
38:17Rupert, be careful.
38:19Don't worry, Tiger Lily.
38:20I'm always careful.
38:26Rupert, look for her in the big meadow.
38:33Now, I need the purple pouch.
38:36But, but they're all purple.
38:39Hmm, yes, bit of a nuisance, that.
38:41Well, the purpler one.
38:43I mean, more purple than the others.
38:48You fool.
38:50Did you think I was going to just let you get away with this?
38:52You've been chasing that last unicorn for two days.
38:56And you still haven't caught it.
38:59I'm, I'm sorry, master.
39:02But the unicorn is very swift.
39:05And I'm, well...
39:06Whoa!
39:08I should turn you into a...
39:10A snail!
39:12Forget about the last unicorn.
39:15Take the horns from the others.
39:17Now!
39:18Oh, no!
39:19Oh, no!
39:19This changes everything.
39:42No, wait!
39:43I didn't mean to frighten you.
39:45I'm a friend of the sage.
39:47He sent me to help.
39:49Please, I...
39:50We have to help the other unicorns.
39:53The enchanter is going to...
39:55I can't.
39:56I mean, I'm...
39:58Frightened?
39:59Of course you're frightened.
40:01So am I.
40:02But we have to try.
40:04But...
40:05His griffon will catch us.
40:08Not if we work together.
40:10There must be something we can do.
40:12But we must hurry before the enchanter begins taking the unicorns' horns.
40:17No, I can't.
40:19I can't!
40:21Wait!
40:22I need your help!
40:24Oh, I can't say I blame her.
40:28Just the thought of that beak.
40:30If only there were a way I could draw the griffon after me.
40:35The unicorns could escape and...
40:37Of course!
40:39Why didn't I think of it before?
40:42The sage's magic brother!
40:45Brothers shouldn't be that difficult to fly.
40:48Uh...
40:49Go!
40:51Wow!
40:52Nothing to it.
40:54Fly!
40:56Fly!
40:58Slow!
41:01Ah!
41:02Phew!
41:04That's better.
41:05Now, turn around!
41:07Whoa!
41:08No!
41:08No, wait!
41:09Fly straight!
41:10That way!
41:12Ah!
41:15This is just what I've been looking for.
41:17My shrinking potion.
41:19Behold!
41:21Oh, we'll never get out of here.
41:24If only I hadn't mixed up my magic pouches, this wouldn't keep happening.
41:28Things are never as bad as they seem.
41:31You just need a little organization.
41:33A little anything would be a relief right now.
41:36Now, first we'll start by putting the not-so-purple pouches here.
41:41Then the sort of purple ones over here.
41:44And the really purple pouches...
41:47Whoa!
41:49Sorry.
41:50But I am getting the hang of it.
41:59Catch up!
42:00They are warm!
42:02Oh, no!
42:03Uh, uh, down!
42:06Coming, crew!
42:09How did he escape?
42:11Get him!
42:12Can't catch me!
42:14I'm over here!
42:15This way!
42:16Get that rotten little bear!
42:20Oh, no!
42:22Back!
42:23Give us!
42:24Whoa!
42:29No!
42:33Two down and one to go!
42:38Run!
42:40Run!
42:40Now's your chance!
42:45Everything's going just as I planned.
42:48Well, not everything.
42:51Up!
42:52Up!
42:53Up!
42:56Get up, you idiot!
42:59They're cutting away!
43:01Of course they're getting away, you fool!
43:04It's a trick!
43:05I'll teach that little bear a lesson!
43:11Forget the bear!
43:14Forget my unicorn!
43:17They'll never catch up with the unicorns now.
43:24Uh-oh.
43:26After my unicorn!
43:28Now!
43:39A little organization can certainly do wonders, Tiger Lily.
43:43Once we're out under the door,
43:45we can magically make ourselves big again
43:47with the dust from the purple pouch.
43:51Oh, but which one, Tiger Lily?
43:54Tiger Lily?
43:54Let's hurry!
43:55This one!
43:59Let's hurry!
44:02Ready?
44:03One, two, three!
44:06I hope we're not too late.
44:10Master!
44:11Master!
44:12I must have the horns!
44:15Down to the right!
44:16No!
44:17Not to the right!
44:18I mean...
44:18Dive!
44:19Dive!
44:21Die!
44:43The unicorns have escaped!
44:46Oh, that little bear is going to pay for this.
44:53For a moment, I thought I was going to be...
44:57pet food.
45:08It's too dangerous. Run!
45:11No, Rupert. You were right.
45:14We have to do this together.
45:18I don't think even the two of us are a match for them.
45:22Maybe not, but all of us, together, can defeat them.
45:41You did it. You released them from the enchanter's spell.
45:45No. We did it, Rupert.
45:56It's not fair. It's not fair.
46:00You've ruined everything.
46:02I'll show you.
46:05You do nothing of the kind, you little upstart.
46:09That's enough of your mischievous magic for one day.
46:12Give that back.
46:14It's mine.
46:15Perhaps.
46:16But you'll only get it back when you deserve it.
46:19When you learn how to use it properly.
46:21When you grow up a little.
46:24But I'll never grow up without the magic potion.
46:28Silly little boy, there is no magic on earth that could ever make you or anyone grow up.
46:35It's not true.
46:37You're...
46:38You're just saying that.
46:40No.
46:41Trust me, lad.
46:43I know a lot more about magic than you do.
46:48Then...
46:49Then how will I ever grow up?
46:51Like everyone else.
46:53Don't be in such a rush to grow up.
46:55It just takes time.
46:57You must be patient.
47:00Something much more difficult for a boy of your age to learn than even magic.
47:09I...
47:10I know I've caused a lot of trouble.
47:13For all of you.
47:14I'm sorry.
47:16Well, well.
47:17If I'm not mistaken, you've grown up by about...
47:22This much already.
47:24I did?
47:25You know, Sage, since you're so awfully busy,
47:27maybe you could use some help taking care of the unicorns.
47:31Yes.
47:32Yes, I suppose I could.
47:33Not to mention some help organizing your magic pouches.
47:37Like an apprentice?
47:40An apprentice?
47:41Now, that would be a treat.
47:42Someone with experience in magic?
47:48Well, um...
47:50They'd have to be young and willing to learn.
47:58Of course!
48:00I've got an idea.
48:02Would you possibly consider...
48:04Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
48:09Splendid!
48:10Now, everyone stand back.
48:13I hereby appoint you...
48:17Apprentice to the Sage of Um.
48:21Yes, you'll do fine.
48:23Now, your first job as apprentice
48:26is to tend to the herd
48:27while I get these two back to Nutwood.
48:30You can count on me!
48:32Goodbye, Rupert.
48:33Tiger Lily, come back soon!
48:36Thank you!
48:37Woo-hoo!
48:41It was indeed a pleasure to meet you, Rupert.
48:46I had a wonderful time.
48:49Do you suppose I might visit the unicorns again sometime?
48:52Of course.
48:53You're always welcome on the island of Um.
48:57Well, I must be going.
48:59Goodbye, Rupert.
49:01Whoa!
49:02I'll see you in school tomorrow, Rupert!
49:05Bye, Tiger Lily!
49:07There you are, Rupert.
49:09You better come in now.
49:10That's enough stargazing for one night.
49:13Guess where I've been, Mom!
49:16I met the Sage of Um,
49:18and there was this griffin,
49:19you know, sort of a lion and an eagle.
49:21Oh, dear.
49:22I hope it wasn't a very large one.
49:24Actually, it was really a rabbit
49:25who'd been put under a spell.
49:27It was keeping the unicorns captive.
49:29Unicorn?
49:30Yes, and oh,
49:30did I tell you?
49:32He flies in his upside-down umbrella.
49:34The griffin?
49:35No, the sage!
49:37Ooh!
