00:00:00The Lone Ranger
00:00:57The Lone Ranger
00:01:24The Lone Ranger
00:01:33So they set off up the hill arm in arm, the knight, the dragon, and the boy.
00:01:38The lights in the little village began to go out one by one.
00:01:44But there were stars and a late moon as they climbed the downs together.
00:01:48Robert, please.
00:01:56Go on. I can hear in any position.
00:02:02And as they turned the last corner and disappeared from view, snatches of an old song were born back on
00:02:07the night breeze.
00:02:08I can't be certain which of them are singing, but I think it was the dragon.
00:02:13Go on. I'm listening.
00:02:15That's the end. And a very lovely end, too.
00:02:18Yeah, tell me, tell me.
00:02:20It's funny, no matter which way I aim, I always hit the same duck.
00:02:26Robert, I have a wonderful idea. We'll sell this book to Walt Disney.
00:02:29Well, you can't. It belongs to your nephew.
00:02:31So does this, too. I wonder what he'd take for it.
00:02:34I mean the idea for a movie.
00:02:37I'm sure if you went to his studio and suggested it to him, he'd jump at it.
00:02:40Me suggest a story to Walt Disney? I hardly know him.
00:02:43Well, you hardly knew me when you suggested marriage.
00:02:46Yeah, look at the trouble I can do.
00:02:47He can't listen to every crackpot with a wild idea.
00:02:50You might be the exception.
00:02:52All you would have to do would be go to his studio and show him the book.
00:02:56I wouldn't dream of it.
00:02:58They're always open to new ideas.
00:03:00Get your things on and stop shilly-shallying.
00:03:03I am not shilly-ing and I'm not shally-ing.
00:03:05But once and for all, I will not go to the studio.
00:03:07I will not make myself ridiculous.
00:03:16And that's final.
00:03:20It's a wild goose chase, that's what it is.
00:03:22Don't imagine he's out here in the first place.
00:03:24Where else would he be?
00:03:25You know, these movie producers.
00:03:27New York, Saratoga, Palm Beach.
00:03:29Hollywood.
00:03:47Well, now we're arrested.
00:03:49Really wasn't anything off, sir.
00:03:51I just happened to be driving by.
00:03:52Did you have an appointment?
00:03:53You see?
00:03:54We want to see Mr. Disney.
00:03:56Did you have an appointment?
00:03:57Yes, but no, not actually an appointment.
00:03:59But you see, you have to have an appointment.
00:04:01Come on, let's be kidding.
00:04:02The name, please?
00:04:03The Reluctant Dragon.
00:04:05The Disney.
00:04:07The Reluctant Dragon is this little story here.
00:04:09It's the name of the joke.
00:04:10Have you read it?
00:04:10My wife seems to think it's pretty funny.
00:04:12The name is Benchley.
00:04:14Capital B-E-N-C-H.
00:04:15We have a story here we want Mr. Disney to see.
00:04:17Tell him not to bother if he's busy.
00:04:18It isn't important.
00:04:19It is important.
00:04:21Just a moment, please.
00:04:22Well, you'd better get out.
00:04:24Get out?
00:04:25What for?
00:04:25You can't drive into his office.
00:04:28Oh, why don't we get the appointment and come back tomorrow?
00:04:31Get the appointment and come back tomorrow?
00:04:33You'd think you were going to the dentist.
00:04:35Well, I almost would rather.
00:04:36We can park over there, I'm afraid.
00:04:38Oh, no, I have some shopping to do.
00:04:39I'll come back for you later.
00:04:40You're not coming in with me?
00:04:42No.
00:04:43Where'd you get that idea?
00:04:50Here's a pass for you, sir.
00:04:52Pass?
00:04:53For me?
00:04:54Oh, you're no wonder.
00:04:56Thanks very much.
00:04:59Well, Mr. Benchlet, this way.
00:05:01Just go straight ahead, then left to the main building.
00:05:04Straight ahead, left to the main building.
00:05:32At your service, sir.
00:05:33Oh, hello.
00:05:35I'm Robert Benchley.
00:05:36Oh, it's funny.
00:05:37That's my name, too.
00:05:38I'm to take you to Mr. Disney's office.
00:05:40Oh, no, don't bother.
00:05:41I'll find out.
00:05:41Oh, no trouble at all, sir.
00:05:42It's my assignment.
00:05:43This way, sir.
00:05:49What a nice little plant you got here.
00:05:51Little?
00:05:52There are 51 acres here, Mr. Benchley.
00:05:5451?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:5551 acres of eroded, sandy soil.
00:05:58Mildly alkaline in content, but rich in deposits of cobalt and gypsum.
00:06:02Gypsum, well, what?
00:06:03On our left, you went on a large building for cement and limestone construction, housing
00:06:07our air conditioning plant.
00:06:09This comprises 11 gas-fired boilers with rated heated capacity for 17,640,000 British
00:06:14degrees per hour.
00:06:37I got a pass.
00:06:39Yeah, so I see.
00:06:40I suppose that's what you call a life class in there, huh?
00:06:42Real models and all that sort of thing?
00:06:44Yeah, why don't you go on in?
00:06:46Oh, no, I can't.
00:06:46I got an appointment with Mr. Disney.
00:06:48I haven't got time.
00:06:49Thanks, Mr. Sandler.
00:06:50Okay.
00:07:00There are just a couple of little things I'd like all of you to keep in mind.
00:07:03Don't forget to emphasize composition and form.
00:07:06And remember, curves are the important thing in a model of this type.
00:07:09Be sure and bring out the sweep of her torso and the modeling of those hips.
00:07:13The texture of her skin is also essential, as well as the highlights and shadows.
00:07:17And the legs are of vital importance.
00:07:18You have a tendency to draw them too short, Jack.
00:07:28I was looking for a wall.
00:07:30Well, he's not here right now.
00:07:32You're Robert Benchley, aren't you?
00:07:33Yes, I am.
00:07:35I don't know who this is.
00:07:36Oh, he's a member of our regular staff.
00:07:38Did you hurt yourself?
00:07:39No, no, no.
00:07:41No.
00:07:41Would you like to come in and look around?
00:07:42Yes, I would.
00:07:44I wouldn't disturb anybody.
00:07:45Oh, not at all.
00:07:46We're glad to have you.
00:07:47Oh, thank you.
00:07:48I hope I didn't disturb the model.
00:07:50Oh, she doesn't mind.
00:07:51What do you think of her?
00:07:54Well, she's got a nice, kind face.
00:07:56I'll say that for her.
00:07:58But it doesn't get her much.
00:07:59She's the only model we have the boys don't ask out for dinner.
00:08:03Hey, does the boss know that all this is going on?
00:08:06Oh, sure.
00:08:06This is no picnic.
00:08:07It's all part of their work.
00:08:08Work?
00:08:09Yes, you see, before they can cartoon an animal,
00:08:11they have to have some idea of what the real thing looks like.
00:08:13That's not bad, Ken.
00:08:15I'll try to get more comedy into it.
00:08:16Thanks, pal.
00:08:18Well, toi giin.
00:08:20That means goodbye in Chinese.
00:08:24I'm afraid you've overdone it.
00:08:25Your elephant's too dumb-looking.
00:08:26Don't you think so, Mr. Benchley?
00:08:28You can't draw an elephant too dumb for me.
00:08:31Just look at her.
00:08:32Look at that great big head.
00:08:34You wouldn't think that the brain inside it was no bigger than an English walnut, would you?
00:08:38Well, half the time, the average elephant doesn't know which way he's going.
00:08:42The elephant, by the way, is the only animal in the world that has a tail on both ends,
00:08:46which probably explains why it doesn't get anywhere.
00:08:49Now, these sketches that you've been making here bring out my point.
00:08:52Do you mind, just one, please?
00:08:53No.
00:08:54There you see the tiny eyes, the blank, vacant stare, the stupid, oafish expression.
00:09:04Well, I guess I spoke a little too soon.
00:09:07But you must admit that a face like that, even, on an elephant, is a vast improvement.
00:09:16Of course, that's only one man's opinion.
00:09:18Thank you very much.
00:09:19Thank you very much.
00:09:55Ah, Martha, that's always been one of my favorites.
00:10:12Thank you, pardon, but who is that?
00:10:15Florence Gill.
00:10:16Oh, Florence Gill.
00:10:17I remember very well.
00:10:18I heard her sing Marguerite at the Metropolitan One.
00:10:50Oh, fortunately, I got you.
00:10:52my spouse.
00:11:37Duck! Duck!
00:11:39Duck!
00:11:42Duck!
00:11:43Duck!
00:11:44Duck!
00:11:52Okay, boys. Take five minutes.
00:11:55Very nice, Miss Gill. Thank you. Bravo! Magnificent performance.
00:11:59Of course, I always knew that Donald wasn't a real duck, but to hear an old hen singing opera...
00:12:04Now, you certainly can handle that foul language.
00:12:07Foul language? What a very idea!
00:12:11That's really great, you know? Confidentially, just how do you do that? Do you have a whistle or a gadget
00:12:16or something?
00:12:16No, I just form an air pocket in my cheek like this, and then I think, uh, how would a
00:12:21duck say it?
00:12:21Then I'd say, uh...
00:12:24Air pocket.
00:12:27No, no, you're not thinking like a duck.
00:12:34Don't do it, sir. Don't do it, sir. Don't do it, sir.
00:12:36I was not thinking about it.
00:12:39Say, I don't suppose you could... No, of course you couldn't. Couldn't what?
00:12:42I was just wondering if it could possibly talk like a dragon. My wife would...
00:12:46Well, uh, how would a dragon sound?
00:12:48Well, let's see. A dragon, in the first place, he'd be down on all fours like this.
00:12:53And he'd be covered with scales, Duckie.
00:12:55Yeah. Oh, covered with scales. That's right.
00:12:58Anyway, Eddie'd sort of be roaring and raining up and down on the floor of his cave, you know, looking
00:13:04for mushrooms and things. Maybe...
00:13:08That finding any?
00:13:11Well, I guess, uh, I guess it isn't down here.
00:13:14If you happen to find it, would you save it for my pleasure?
00:13:16If you're quite finished, Mr. Benchley, we'll be on our way.
00:13:18Uh, yeah, as a matter of fact, I was just looking for you.
00:13:21Oh, sure.
00:13:23In a typical working week, the studio stack consumes 4,000 quartos of animation paper,
00:13:2840-gorts of a sardicolor crayons, and 49,000 reams of cellulite.
00:13:32That's so.
00:13:33Grab your ass.
00:13:34Here we go.
00:13:35Let's go.
00:13:3860,000.
00:13:39All right, let's get it.
00:13:43Come on.
00:13:44Come on.
00:13:46Come on.
00:13:47Come on.
00:13:48Come on, boy.
00:13:49Come on.
00:13:50Come on, boy.
00:13:51Come on.
00:13:51Come on, boy.
00:13:52Come on.
00:13:53Come on.
00:13:53Come on.
00:13:53Come on.
00:13:54Come on.
00:13:56Okay, Eddie, let's try to get a little more pressure.
00:14:00Come on.
00:14:07Hey, look out!
00:14:08Here, watch yourself.
00:14:10Don't be afraid.
00:14:11I'm only the train whistle.
00:14:13Well, they certainly have improved the looks of them since I was a boy.
00:14:16What goes on around here?
00:14:18We're making the sound for a cartoon train.
00:14:20Look, I'll show you.
00:14:24All aboard!
00:14:26All aboard!
00:14:27Clear the track!
00:14:29Here I go!
00:14:32Well, does that come natural, or is that something you picked up in high school?
00:14:35Oh, anybody can do it.
00:14:37The train sounds are all on here.
00:14:38You hold these over your vocal cords and move your lips.
00:14:41Like this.
00:14:41Hello.
00:14:43Hello.
00:14:44Don't you want to try it?
00:14:45No, no.
00:14:45I wouldn't know what to say.
00:14:46Oh, say anything.
00:14:47Only don't really talk.
00:14:48Just make the leaf.
00:14:52I'll tickle now.
00:14:53What do I say?
00:14:53Friends, Romans, countrymen?
00:14:55Anything!
00:14:56Friends!
00:14:58Romans!
00:15:01Countrymen!
00:15:03See how easy it is?
00:15:04Pardon me, Mr. Benchley.
00:15:06This is your score, Doris.
00:15:07I've got all the cues marked in, I think.
00:15:08You come in right after the fourth beat there, okay?
00:15:11Okay, Frank.
00:15:11Let's give it a lot of personality now.
00:15:13All right.
00:15:14Ready, everybody.
00:15:15Casey Jr.
00:15:16I used to know his old man.
00:15:17All right, boys.
00:15:18Let's go for a rehearsal.
00:15:20Lights.
00:15:22Picture.
00:15:23Let's go.
00:15:24One, two, three, four.
00:15:27All aboard!
00:15:30All aboard!
00:15:47Two, three, five.
00:15:58Four, four.
00:16:03All aboard!
00:16:14Four, two, three!
00:16:16Two, three, four.
00:16:17Cows.
00:16:47Cows.
00:17:17Cows.
00:17:29Cows.
00:17:31Cows.
00:17:43Cows.
00:17:43Open switch! Open switch! Wake up! Open switch!
00:17:59Ready with your storm?
00:18:30Get out! Bridge out! Bridge out! Help!
00:18:42Help! Please don't! Help!
00:19:00Okay. Cut. Lights.
00:19:03I'll be running along. Thanks ever so much.
00:19:06How did you like it?
00:19:06Oh, fine. Fine.
00:19:08Only, after all, wouldn't it be a lot easier just to wreck a real train?
00:19:14Mr. Bansley! Oh, Mr. Bansley!
00:19:21Mr. Bansley! Mr. Bansley!
00:19:25Oh, Mr. Bansley!
00:19:26D-level okay. Write it down.
00:19:29Start. We'll put these 500s away.
00:19:32You all set on the air, Bert?
00:19:33Okay. Hit those babies in sequence. Start race. Stand number six will be magenta.
00:19:37Guard. Check those plane locks.
00:19:39Okay. What's the set?
00:19:40Step 24, man.
00:19:42Bert, check the air up high.
00:19:43East, west, Nick.
00:19:455125.
00:19:475125. Checked.
00:19:48Picture vertical.
00:19:50Vertical. 5700.
00:19:57Oh, Technicolor.
00:19:58Oh, Technicolor.
00:19:59Oh, Technicolor.
00:20:15Well, hello. How did you find your way in here?
00:20:18Oh, I got some talk.
00:20:19Remember me? The train whistle?
00:20:21Woo, woo, woo.
00:20:22Oh, sure. But you look so different in Technicolor.
00:20:25Aren't you with the railroad anymore?
00:20:26Oh, no. I was just helping out while the regular train whistle went to the dentist.
00:20:30Well, tell me that you work on this...
00:20:32The camera? No. I'm just in charge of the things they feed to it.
00:20:35That's the gosh-darnest camera I ever saw.
00:20:38Oh, I'd have seen it from the top. Would you like to?
00:20:40No, no, no.
00:20:40Hey, Slim. How about a visitor? Old pal of mine.
00:20:43Sure. Send him up.
00:20:45Come on.
00:20:47I sometimes get dizzy up high.
00:20:49Give me your thing.
00:20:50Couldn't I just as well see it from down here?
00:20:52Go on. It's a clear day. You can see Catalina.
00:20:55Come in now. Take it easy.
00:20:57Watch yourself.
00:20:59Watch yourself.
00:21:00There it is.
00:21:02I got a Canon camera.
00:21:04That's fine. Now look right through there.
00:21:06Right there.
00:21:11It looks kind of fuzzy.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14Fuzzy?
00:21:15Kind of fuzzy.
00:21:16Si.
00:21:17Hmm.
00:21:19What?
00:21:19Oh.
00:21:21Oh, my God.
00:21:29Well, I'll be down.
00:21:31Say, we're going right along, aren't we?
00:21:34I'm down between the trees.
00:21:36Just like going to a real forest.
00:21:43Boy, that's something, isn't it?
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:45How much exposure do you give it?
00:21:4624.
00:21:47Dissolved shutter 916.
00:21:49I see.
00:21:51Well, I didn't know you had to run up a skyscraper just to photograph Donald Duck.
00:21:55Oh, this is just where we do our trick stuff.
00:21:58Donald has his own camera over there.
00:21:59Over there?
00:22:00Is that where you make him move?
00:22:01Yes, where he does his tricks.
00:22:02That's for me.
00:22:03Can I see that?
00:22:03Oh, yeah.
00:22:04Go ahead.
00:22:04Down this way?
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:05Watch out for that cable now.
00:22:08Well, was it worth the climb?
00:22:09I'll say.
00:22:10Is this where Donald Duck hangs out?
00:22:11Uh-huh.
00:22:11Want to meet him?
00:22:12Well, I came over for.
00:22:17Are you doing cooling them off?
00:22:19Oh, no.
00:22:20Just getting rid of the dust.
00:22:21Each speck would magnify so many times that on the screen it would look like a blizzard.
00:22:24Yeah, but why do you put them on Isenglad?
00:22:26It's not.
00:22:27It's celluloid.
00:22:27I still don't get the idea.
00:22:29So we can see through it.
00:22:30Then we can use the same background every time.
00:22:32Oh.
00:22:33Why doesn't something happen?
00:22:35All the ducks look alike.
00:22:36Oh, no.
00:22:36Each one is different.
00:22:37See this one?
00:22:38The foot's off the ground.
00:22:39Now we take one picture.
00:22:42This next one, the foot's down.
00:22:44See?
00:22:46Get the idea?
00:22:47Yeah, but he still doesn't move.
00:22:49Just a minute, big boy.
00:22:51Give me time.
00:22:51Give me time.
00:22:54Look.
00:22:56I'll show ya.
00:22:57I'll show ya.
00:22:58Now, look.
00:23:00First, my foot is up here.
00:23:02See?
00:23:03Uh-huh.
00:23:04Then, it's down here.
00:23:07Understand?
00:23:08I get it.
00:23:09Then this.
00:23:10Yeah?
00:23:11And this.
00:23:12I see.
00:23:13And that.
00:23:14See?
00:23:15Sure.
00:23:16When I'm going faster, I'm working.
00:23:19Get it?
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:21Certainly.
00:23:22Now, in this picture, I'm a farmer.
00:23:25See?
00:23:27I'm doing that to melt the tail.
00:23:30Oh, my God, you're kind of farm.
00:23:32Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey.
00:23:34How am I going?
00:23:36Oh, my God, you're kind of farm.
00:23:40Ah!
00:23:41Ah!
00:23:43Ah!
00:23:45Ah!
00:23:46Ah!
00:23:47Oh, it still kills me.
00:23:48Ali-ya, hey, I can understand a thing he says.
00:23:50Mr. Benchley?
00:23:51Calling Mr. Benchley.
00:23:52Mr. Benchley, you want to do Walt's office?
00:23:55Haven't you been up to see Walt here?
00:23:56No.
00:23:58You want to know something?
00:23:59Thanks, son.
00:24:00So, long.
00:24:01So long.
00:24:02The trouble is, I'm a fugitive from a lecture tour.
00:24:05There's a young fellow on my trail, a horn-rimmed kid with glasses.
00:24:08You must mean Humphrey.
00:24:09That would be his name, yes.
00:24:11Well, don't worry. We'll go in the Rainbow Room. He'll never find you there.
00:24:14Listen, Humphrey could have found Dr. Livingston in the first reel.
00:24:24Hello, Doris.
00:24:25Hey, Rainbow Room is right. Don't tell me you cook all this yourself.
00:24:31Uh-huh. Secret formulas and everything.
00:24:33Then trust me.
00:24:35The girls add a couple of hundred different chemicals to it,
00:24:37and then it all goes to the paint mill.
00:24:39The paint mill?
00:24:41Well, that looks very tasty.
00:25:01You want the strata of man?
00:25:02Oh, okay.
00:25:19I'll let you.
00:25:30Before let she
00:25:47Ā¶Ā¶
00:26:24Thank you, Barbara. Here we are, Bambi.
00:26:26Sure, isn't he?
00:26:27Let me hold up to the light.
00:26:30Like it?
00:26:31You all right if you can get that reindeer out of the way?
00:26:34I'll see if I can scare up the background that goes with it.
00:26:37Nothing wrong with the one I just saw.
00:26:39Thanks.
00:26:40This is his background.
00:26:41He fits right on top of it, like this.
00:26:44There.
00:26:44I'm very cunning, too.
00:26:46I'd like to take him home with me.
00:26:50What do you know?
00:26:52He took me seriously.
00:26:54Well, I certainly have a way with animals.
00:26:56Don't worry.
00:26:57They're always shy with strangers.
00:26:58Thank you, John.
00:26:59Excuse me. I'll be back in a minute.
00:27:01Hey, hey, don't...
00:27:10Looks like everyone's here except Mickey Mouse.
00:27:27Pardon me.
00:27:28That's all right.
00:27:29You ought to hear him when he strikes 12.
00:27:31Well, here's a cute little number.
00:27:34Here's a brand new one.
00:27:35Oh, Mickey?
00:27:37I don't suppose you got something here for about a dollar and a half that holds tobacco.
00:27:42Silly, they're not for sale.
00:27:44Well, if they're not for sale, what are they for?
00:27:46Or am I too young to know?
00:27:47We make them up for the artist to give them an idea of what each character looks like from every
00:27:51angle.
00:27:52Then everybody will make him the same, see?
00:27:54That sounds like a very smart idea.
00:27:57I suppose when you start work on these things, you sometimes don't know how they're going to turn out.
00:28:11There.
00:28:12Does that look familiar to you?
00:28:14Well, at all, I shaved it this morning.
00:28:16Would you like to have it?
00:28:18Yeah, I'd love it.
00:28:19Always shoot darts at her.
00:28:23Be careful.
00:28:24The head is a little soft.
00:28:27Uh-oh, here comes the manners.
00:28:29This way.
00:28:31Well, if he's got a bloodhound, I'm sorry.
00:28:35Hey, Joanna, have you seen Mr. Benchley?
00:28:37No, Poison, I haven't seen Mr. Benchley.
00:28:44Wait a minute.
00:28:45Wait a minute.
00:28:55All clear.
00:28:56Goodbye.
00:29:04I beg your pardon, is this the way to the front gate?
00:29:06Yes, keep right on down the corridor.
00:29:08You can't miss it.
00:29:14You know, if I didn't know how they made those noises here, I'd think that was a real live baby.
00:29:20Would you?
00:29:21I wonder, will you please open the door?
00:29:24There's your sound effects.
00:29:27Can't you hold him still, Al?
00:29:29I suppose you try holding him still.
00:29:31Hello, big boy.
00:29:32Here's lunch.
00:29:33See, Al, tip his head back just a little bit.
00:29:35Okay, I'll try.
00:29:37Jimmy, Jimmy, look-a here.
00:29:43Look-a here, Jimmy.
00:29:45That's it.
00:29:55Now, how about a little smile?
00:29:59That's it, boy.
00:30:00That's just right.
00:30:13Let's try the topper now, huh?
00:30:22I'll keep that old head up.
00:30:23Way up.
00:30:25Chin up, big boy.
00:30:28That a boy, Al.
00:30:30Now, now, just relax.
00:30:36Oh, that's swell.
00:30:37Any more coming up?
00:30:38Sorry, boys.
00:30:39Time's up.
00:30:39What, already?
00:30:40I never saw a kitty so often.
00:30:42Look, we only just got started.
00:30:44You know the rules.
00:30:45Fifteen minutes, and he has to rest.
00:30:46I'll bring him back in a little while.
00:30:49Pretty soft for you, eh?
00:30:51Knockin' off early for lunch.
00:30:54Who's that guy, Al?
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:57Hey, just a minute.
00:30:58Hey.
00:30:58Don't go away, mister.
00:30:59I was just holding the nurse for the door.
00:31:01Rather, you haven't heard this story, have you?
00:31:03No, not a word on it.
00:31:04All right, just the guy.
00:31:05It'll only take a minute.
00:31:06Come on, fellas.
00:31:06Get him a chair.
00:31:07Yeah.
00:31:09You see, what we need's a fresh mind.
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:11Fresh mind.
00:31:12All right.
00:31:12What are you planning to do with me?
00:31:13Oh, nothing.
00:31:14We just want to show you something.
00:31:15Yeah, a new story.
00:31:16Story?
00:31:16You mean to tell me that's all just one movie?
00:31:18Sure, that's it.
00:31:19Of course, you'll have to imagine the whole thing in action.
00:31:21Well, I'm a pretty tough audience.
00:31:22Would you like to hear it?
00:31:23Go ahead and tell it.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:25You see, it starts up here.
00:31:27And it ends way down here.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:29Now, we're calling it Baby Weems.
00:31:31First, we open up on the title here, see?
00:31:33And under that, we have the opening theme music.
00:31:38Okay, Frank.
00:31:40Now, after the main title, we go to the usual expectant father scene.
00:31:43You know, hospital corridor.
00:31:45Here's Papa Weems, pacing back and forth, back and forth, nervous as a cat.
00:31:50Cigarette butts all over the floor.
00:31:52It's his first baby, see?
00:31:54The suspense is awful.
00:31:55Then all of a sudden, we see a door open.
00:31:57A nurse sticks her head out and says, Mr. Weems?
00:32:00It's a boy, Mr. Weems?
00:32:01A boy.
00:32:04Then the poor guy slumps to the floor in a heap.
00:32:09Then we dissolve over to the hospital nursery.
00:32:12It's chucked full of brand new babies, all yelling and squalling at once.
00:32:16Wah!
00:32:16Wah!
00:32:18Ah!
00:32:19Then we come down closer.
00:32:20The show a nurse that put a Baby Weems crib.
00:32:22He's a cute little guy.
00:32:24The only kid in the room who isn't yelling his head off.
00:32:27You're a quiet little fellow, aren't you?
00:32:29Well, there really isn't much to talk about.
00:32:32He talked!
00:32:34Why?
00:32:35Is it against the rules?
00:32:37Oh, doctor.
00:32:39Dr. Livingston calling Dr. Crumpf, Dr. Hayes, Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Cronkite.
00:32:47Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
00:32:53I'm awfully sorry, gentlemen, but it's quite necessary for our lung development, you know.
00:32:58Astounding.
00:32:59Unbelievable.
00:33:01Amazing.
00:33:01Yes, amazing was the word.
00:33:04And in no time at all, the whole hospital swarmed with reporters, photographers, columnists, and sobsisters.
00:33:11Before the day was over, Baby Weems became the talk of the town.
00:33:17Two days old?
00:33:18And my boy living is six years old already.
00:33:22He can't speak a word of English.
00:33:23New York City, New York.
00:33:25Attendants at the county hospital today were amazed when a two-day-old baby started to talk.
00:33:30Not baby talk, mind you, but good, clear American English.
00:33:34He's a sugar to smart the brains.
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:36I bet his folks are happy.
00:33:38But where's my baby?
00:33:40Can't I even see him?
00:33:41Sorry, Mrs. Weems, he can't be disturbed now.
00:33:44He's in conference.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:48But don't you see, mister?
00:33:50He's my...
00:33:51I'm his father.
00:33:52You don't get in here without a press card, see?
00:33:55And as the fame of this little infant prodigy spread far and wide,
00:33:59world-renowned celebrities came to listen to his words of wisdom.
00:34:03I'm awfully sorry, Dr. Einstein, but this reverses your whole basic theory.
00:34:10Not so loud.
00:34:12It's not only the things you say, Mr. Shaw, it's the cute way you say them.
00:34:17Why, 2,000 years ahead of his time.
00:34:21Yes, but still a baby.
00:34:24He invented questions that not only baffled the information-please experts,
00:34:28but even stumped the quiz kids.
00:34:31Then he'd devote the rest of the morning to a little research work
00:34:34in biochemistry, psychophysics, or, uh...
00:34:38Bacteriology.
00:34:39Bacteriology, yes, thank you.
00:34:40In his spare time, Little Weems turned his hand to music.
00:34:47And when the concert season opened,
00:34:50he was invited to conduct his own composition at Carnegie Hall.
00:35:03Sorry, the house is completely sold out.
00:35:06Do you suppose we'll ever see him?
00:35:08I wonder.
00:35:09The whole country was rapidly becoming Weems conscious.
00:35:13There was baby Weems soap, baby Weems breakfast food, shoe polish, and salad dressing.
00:35:18His smiling face was used to advertise everything from canned spinach to folding beds.
00:35:23And even the leaders of fashion bowed to the Weems' influence with startling results.
00:35:32Day by day, the child marvel continues to astound scientists and scholars with his incredible store of knowledge.
00:35:40Honorary degrees are bestowed on baby Weems by scores of leading universities.
00:35:45Honors are heaped upon his diminutive brow.
00:35:48He is knighted Sir Herbert Weems.
00:35:51Medals of honor are presented to him with all the trimmings.
00:35:54Masters of modern art, immortalize him in canvas and in stone.
00:36:04And thus the charm and wisdom of a tiny infant captivates...
00:36:08Look, look, mother.
00:36:10There's our baby.
00:36:11Oh, isn't he, darling?
00:36:12Shh.
00:36:13Sit down.
00:36:15Hey, throw him out.
00:36:17Time marches on.
00:36:25News of the wonder child's achievements soon reached the nation's capital.
00:36:30And it is my firm opinion, my friends, that the one person capable of solving our gigantic problem
00:36:37is none other than that distinguished citizen and scholar, baby Weems.
00:36:43Little Weems rushed to answer the president's call.
00:36:47He was received with all the pomp and ceremony of a conquering hero.
00:36:51And as usual, Mr. and Mrs. Weems were on hand to, uh, share their baby's greatest triumph.
00:36:59Yoo-hoo!
00:37:00Herbert!
00:37:00Oh, Herbert!
00:37:02It is my great honor and privilege to announce that the only important message,
00:37:06that history-making address we have so eagerly awaited, is at last about to be heard.
00:37:11The next voice you will hear over this worldwide hookup will be that of baby Weems, who will...
00:37:17Huh?
00:37:17What's that?
00:37:18There will be a slight delay in the baby Weems broadcast.
00:37:22No?
00:37:23What?
00:37:24What?
00:37:24Stop the presses!
00:37:26Break out those Weems pictures!
00:37:28Stop it, boy!
00:37:35Dr. Livingston, call him Dr. Crump.
00:37:38Dr. Jekyllt.
00:37:40City hospital.
00:37:41City hospital.
00:37:41City hospital.
00:37:42Morning.
00:37:42Temperature 103.
00:37:43City hospital.
00:37:44City hospital.
00:37:45Morning.
00:37:45Temperature 103.
00:37:46The tragic news soon spread to the far corners of the earth.
00:37:52Baby Weems.
00:37:53Baby Weems.
00:37:56What's your...
00:37:59And as leading doctors labored continuously over the little fellow, the entire world waited
00:38:05with grave apprehension.
00:38:08During the crisis, poor Mr. and Mrs. Weems kept constant vigil.
00:38:13No, not at their baby's bedside, but at the radio, anxiously awaiting each news bulletin
00:38:20on the child's condition.
00:38:23One moment, please.
00:38:25Stand by.
00:38:26We have just received word from the hospital.
00:38:28Baby Weems' temperature is beginning to drop.
00:38:30And it looks as if the little wonder baby is on the road to recovery.
00:38:34Hello?
00:38:35What's that?
00:38:36Hold up, run, page.
00:38:37Copy, boy!
00:38:39Bye-bye.
00:38:40The joyful news spread like wildfire.
00:38:45And then once again, after long weeks of anxiety and despair, that eagerly awaited message
00:38:51so vital to all humanity was to be heard at last.
00:38:55The entire world was tense with suppressed excitement as the great moment arrived.
00:39:02All right, Mr. Weems, you're on the air.
00:39:07Gloggle.
00:39:08Gloggle?
00:39:18And the fickle public, so eager to idolize the wonder child, was just as quick to forget
00:39:24him.
00:39:28And little baby weems like jigsaw puzzles, mahjong, and miniature golf soon became just
00:39:35a memory.
00:39:36But far from the cheering crowds, the glamour of brass bands and spotlights, two plain ordinary
00:39:43people were made happier than kings, for that same fickle public had returned to them
00:39:49the one thing they wanted, just a happy, healthy, normal baby.
00:39:54Goochie, goochie, goochie!
00:39:56Wah, wah!
00:39:57Did you hear that, Mama?
00:39:58He said, Daddy, just as plain.
00:40:01So we end up with him down on the floor, see, playing with the baby.
00:40:04Then we fade out with him in that pose and bring in the end title music.
00:40:08Well, that's the end of the picture.
00:40:12Of course, it's a little rough.
00:40:13I think you'll get the general idea.
00:40:15Oh, sure.
00:40:15Well, you'll certainly have to see it when you get it finished.
00:40:19Say, would I have to go through all this just to sell Walter's story?
00:40:22Well, that's what we always do.
00:40:23That's all I want to know.
00:40:25Thanks, fellas.
00:40:26Uh, you didn't say how you liked it.
00:40:28Oh, it's great.
00:40:28You got a natural there.
00:40:29Anybody that doesn't like baby pictures ought to have his head.
00:40:35That's a pip.
00:40:36That's taken years off my life.
00:40:39I get it.
00:40:40If that's for me, I just left.
00:40:45Mr. Bansley!
00:40:50Oh, Mr. Bansley!
00:40:53Oh, Mr. Bansley!
00:41:08Well, what goes on, pal?
00:41:11An old football injury kind of bothers me sometimes.
00:41:14Uh, I wonder if you'd mind if I kill a little time in here.
00:41:17No, go right ahead.
00:41:18We like interruptions.
00:41:19Make yourself at home.
00:41:20Thanks.
00:41:22Oh, an art exhibit, huh?
00:41:24Oh, Nadelinx Bluebird.
00:41:27Oh, I sang a blue boy by Gainsborough.
00:41:33Dancing Ducks by Degas.
00:41:37Say, I wonder how all this would strike Rembrandt and those boys.
00:41:41Pinky.
00:41:45Ah, Donald's mother.
00:41:48How quaint.
00:41:51Whistler's duck.
00:41:53That's marvelous.
00:41:54Those are very amusing.
00:41:56Oh, you mean the ducks?
00:41:58Well, I don't know.
00:42:00Some guy came in here with an art book the other day, and that's what happened.
00:42:03Pretty soft of you just making funny pictures all day.
00:42:05You think so?
00:42:06Well, the first hundred thousand are the hardest.
00:42:09I know who it is now.
00:42:11Goofy.
00:42:14Only three fingers?
00:42:15Yeah.
00:42:16Saves time and looks better.
00:42:19Don't forget that other button.
00:42:22Oh, boy.
00:42:25No shoes.
00:42:30Boy, what size are those?
00:42:32Oh, about 15 and a half.
00:42:37There you are.
00:42:38Now, let's see how the whole scene looks.
00:42:40Let's see how the whole scene looks.
00:42:41Ready?
00:42:42Okay, shoot.
00:42:57Ah, that's slick, all right.
00:43:00Never mind the excuses, Humphrey.
00:43:01If you can't keep track of Mr. Benchley,
00:43:03how can I trust you with anything important?
00:43:05Sorry, sir.
00:43:06Where have you looked?
00:43:06Inking and painting department, color lab, camp...
00:43:08Have you been to the animators' rooms?
00:43:10Not yet, sir.
00:43:11Well, try them.
00:43:16Now, what's the point of all this, anyway?
00:43:19Oh, we thought we'd give you a little preview
00:43:21of Goofy's latest horse opera.
00:43:23Nor truer words have ever been uttered
00:43:25than those of Confucius, or some other philosopher,
00:43:28who said the outside of a horse
00:43:31is good for the inside of a man.
00:43:35Riding is perhaps one of the most beneficial forms of exercise.
00:43:40The gentle, rocking action of the horse
00:43:42acts as an invigorating tonic
00:43:44to those vital organs, the heart and the liver.
00:43:48Now, in the canter,
00:43:49it's the gentle massage of the liver.
00:43:54Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
00:43:58Of course, this gives you just a rough idea
00:44:01of its beneficial qualities.
00:44:04And now, we come to the first essentials of riding.
00:44:08The proper costume.
00:44:10Not yet.
00:44:12The greatest care should be taken on the cut of, um...
00:44:15Oh, all right, come on.
00:44:17The cut of one's riding habit
00:44:19in order to give one that well-groomed appearance
00:44:23right down to his fingertips.
00:44:25The hat should be conservative in design,
00:44:28fit snugly, and protect one's head.
00:44:31The boots should be comfortable
00:44:33and present a neat appearance.
00:44:36The riding coat should be divided
00:44:39so as to drape neatly over the, uh, horse.
00:44:43And then, of course, the horse itself is an integral part.
00:44:49Yes, the horse.
00:44:50The servant of mankind.
00:44:52The aristocrat of the animal kingdom.
00:44:55Noble, faithful, obedient, and kind.
00:44:58Most magnificent of all dumb animals.
00:45:02Dumb!
00:45:08And now, we come to the approach.
00:45:11Always approach the horse with a confident attitude.
00:45:20Remember, man is the master.
00:45:30The next step is to win the confidence of the horse.
00:45:34This is readily accomplished
00:45:36by offering him a carrot
00:45:38as an overture of friendship.
00:46:02Now that we have won the horse's friendship,
00:46:05we enter upon the next important phase,
00:46:08how to mount.
00:46:09For the beginner,
00:46:10we might suggest the step ladder
00:46:23perhaps the most popular method
00:46:25is the horizontal or lateral approach,
00:46:28known as the up and over.
00:46:43Now that we have mastered this method,
00:46:46we may safely discard the mounting block
00:46:48and learn to use the stirrups.
00:46:51As you probably know,
00:46:52there is a right and a wrong side for mounting.
00:46:55The horse.
00:46:55The right side happens to be the wrong side.
00:46:59This leaves us the left side,
00:47:01which is right.
00:47:02Therefore,
00:47:03since the left is right
00:47:05and the right wrong,
00:47:07we begin by placing the left foot,
00:47:09that's the right foot,
00:47:11in the left stirrup,
00:47:13which is right,
00:47:14being the left foot,
00:47:15since the right would be wrong.
00:47:16Now,
00:47:17this is important enough
00:47:19to bear repeating.
00:47:20Remember that since the right is always wrong,
00:47:24the left has to be right.
00:47:26All right.
00:47:27Now this happens to be the wrong side,
00:47:29which sometimes leads to slight difficulties.
00:47:34And now,
00:47:35for a few tips
00:47:36on the correct form
00:47:38of mounting one's horse.
00:47:39Swinging the leg in a graceful arc,
00:47:42raise it high above the horse,
00:47:44thus.
00:47:48Then drop lightly into the saddle.
00:47:56All well-trained saddle horses have gates.
00:48:00First,
00:48:00the trot.
00:48:01Note that the motion of our steed
00:48:03is similar to that of a rocking chair.
00:48:06Now,
00:48:06the man,
00:48:07moving in perfect unison,
00:48:09as if horse and rider were one.
00:48:11And now,
00:48:12together,
00:48:12this is known as rising to the trot,
00:48:15or coasting.
00:48:17Only the magic of the slow motion camera
00:48:21can do justice
00:48:22to the grace and beauty
00:48:24of this spectacle.
00:48:25As man and beast,
00:48:27responding simultaneously
00:48:29to the gentle undulation,
00:48:32glide through space
00:48:34with a wave-like motion
00:48:35of the summer sea
00:48:37caressed by a gentle zettel.
00:48:52and now that we have mastered
00:48:54the art of riding,
00:48:55we take to the hurdle.
00:48:57All horses love to jump.
00:49:01Sometimes a horse
00:49:03may be just
00:49:04a bit obstinate.
00:49:06Then,
00:49:07a light touch
00:49:07of the spurs
00:49:08may be necessary.
00:49:13I'm glad this came up.
00:49:15When you've fallen
00:49:16from a horse,
00:49:17lie quietly.
00:49:19Remember,
00:49:20a horse will never
00:49:21step
00:49:22on a fallen rider.
00:49:31Yes,
00:49:32hurtling is undoubtedly
00:49:33the thrill of thrills.
00:49:35In all the world,
00:49:35there's no sensation like this.
00:49:37The wind in your face,
00:49:38the scent of autumn
00:49:39in your nostrils,
00:49:40the staccato beat of hoops
00:49:42on crisp earth
00:49:43as man and animal
00:49:44united in concerted effort.
00:49:45Faster and faster we go,
00:49:47barely tingling with excitement.
00:49:49A picture of power and grace
00:49:51as the thundering hoops
00:49:52of the noble beast
00:49:53carry him
00:49:54straight as an arrow
00:49:55to its mark.
00:49:56And now,
00:49:57the jump!
00:49:58Stop!
00:49:59We'll go back
00:50:00and try that again.
00:50:06Whoa!
00:50:06Whoa!
00:50:07Whoa!
00:50:08Whoa!
00:50:09And now,
00:50:10as the late afternoon sun
00:50:12slowly fades
00:50:13over the distant hills,
00:50:15reluctantly,
00:50:16we turn our footsteps
00:50:18homeward.
00:50:19The experienced horseman
00:50:21always walks
00:50:22his horse
00:50:23to the stable.
00:50:24Stable?
00:50:34Indeed,
00:50:35the outside of a horse
00:50:36is good
00:50:37for the inside
00:50:38of a man.
00:50:51What do you know?
00:50:52He certainly knows
00:50:53a lot of tricks.
00:51:12It's none of my business,
00:51:13but is all this
00:51:14just to get an expression
00:51:15on the dog's face?
00:51:16Yeah,
00:51:16that's the idea.
00:51:17What do you do?
00:51:18Just go.
00:51:26Mr. Benchley.
00:51:29Whoa!
00:51:30Hello!
00:51:31I've been looking
00:51:32all over for you.
00:51:33Mr. Disney's waiting
00:51:34for you
00:51:34in his projection room.
00:51:36Goodbye, Pluto.
00:51:37Tough luck, pal.
00:51:38This time,
00:51:39I'll follow you.
00:51:41Two little skunk tails
00:51:42going to the flowers.
00:51:43That's Dylan.
00:51:44Yeah, I'm going to
00:51:45leave it in this phone.
00:51:46All right, thanks.
00:51:47And what's the footage now?
00:51:49I got him, Mr. Disney.
00:51:50Got who, Humphrey?
00:51:51Mr. Benchley.
00:51:52Oh, hello, Bob.
00:51:53How are you?
00:51:54Would you please
00:51:55sign for him?
00:51:56Sign for him?
00:51:56Yes, sir.
00:51:57I want proof of delivery.
00:51:59Boy, is this Bob Benchley?
00:52:01Hi-o, Bob.
00:52:03Hi-o, Bob.
00:52:03Thank you, sir.
00:52:04Sit down, Bob.
00:52:05Make yourself comfortable.
00:52:07Say, you certainly
00:52:08are a hard man to find.
00:52:10Am I?
00:52:11We're just going to
00:52:11run a new picture.
00:52:12You want to sit through it?
00:52:13Yeah, I'd love that.
00:52:14It'll be fine.
00:52:15You can roll
00:52:15whenever it's ready.
00:52:16I understand you got
00:52:17some kind of a story idea, Bob.
00:52:19Oh, well, no.
00:52:20My wife had an idea.
00:52:21I've got it here.
00:52:22Some sort of a book.
00:52:23You want to know that?
00:52:24These are some things
00:52:25the girls whipped up on.
00:52:27Just in fun.
00:52:28It's kind of an exaggeration.
00:52:29Just a whole distance.
00:52:30I'm sorry.
00:52:31There's a pass
00:52:32in case you want to get in.
00:52:36Well, that happened to get in here.
00:52:41Oh, here it is.
00:52:42Here it is.
00:52:45Well, I'll explain it to you afterwards.
00:52:54Long, long ago
00:52:56in a faraway land
00:52:57across the sea
00:52:59there lived a little boy
00:53:01who considered himself
00:53:02quite an authority
00:53:03on brave, fearless knights
00:53:05and their mortal enemies
00:53:08those horrible, fire-breathing dragons
00:53:10that daily terrorized the countryside.
00:53:13One afternoon
00:53:14as the boy sat deeply engrossed
00:53:16in his favorite supper.
00:53:26Good afternoon, Father.
00:53:27Oh, son.
00:53:28I've seen it.
00:53:29Upon the downs it was.
00:53:31All covered with scales and such.
00:53:33In a tail
00:53:34with a sword of a nook on it.
00:53:35Now wait, let's catch me.
00:53:36It's horrible.
00:53:38That's what it is.
00:53:39Horrible.
00:53:39It's only a dragon, Father.
00:53:42Oh.
00:53:43Only a dragon?
00:53:45Oh, the village.
00:53:47Help!
00:53:49There's a dragon, Nakomon.
00:53:51Help!
00:53:52Don't worry, Father.
00:53:53I'll have a look at him.
00:54:17La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:54:40Hello, dragon.
00:54:42Oh, now, boy, don't you bounce toes at me or squirt water or anything.
00:54:46I won't have it.
00:54:48Oh, I just came for a friendly chat.
00:54:50But if I'm not wanted...
00:54:52Oh, well, do be seated.
00:54:55Well, thank you.
00:54:56But if you don't mind...
00:54:58The other way, please.
00:55:01Oh.
00:55:06Hello, let me a minute.
00:55:09Have you had any nice battles lately?
00:55:11Battles?
00:55:12Oh, no, no, no battles, no.
00:55:16Oh.
00:55:17Oh, probably too busy scourging the countryside and devouring fair damsels, then.
00:55:23Scourging, devouring, good heavens, no.
00:55:27But don't you ever do anything desperate?
00:55:30Well, yes, I...
00:55:35I do make up poetry.
00:55:38Poetry?
00:55:39Verses, you know.
00:55:41Care to hear my lady's sonnet?
00:55:43Well, I...
00:55:44Oh, you love this.
00:55:46I call it...
00:55:47Just a drifting.
00:55:49Just a drifting o'er the lead.
00:55:51Like a new drop, fancy dream.
00:55:54Playing with the gentle breezes, romping with the bumblebeezes.
00:55:58Oh, good mud.
00:55:59Joy never ceases.
00:56:02Just a drifting.
00:56:05Very nice.
00:56:06But you're in for trouble, you know.
00:56:08Trouble?
00:56:08My father's arousing the village, and they'll be here with spears and things to exterminate you.
00:56:13You're an enemy of the human race.
00:56:16Oh, I haven't an enemy of the world.
00:56:19Too laced to make them.
00:56:20Prancing, dancing, do and fro, not too fast, not too slow.
00:56:24Well, the early birds are seeking, early worms are slyly peeking.
00:56:29Hear the night owls softly shrieking, just a drifting.
00:56:43Hey, what's all the excitement?
00:56:45It's Sir Giles, stupid.
00:56:48Sir Giles?
00:56:53Hooray for Sir Giles!
00:56:57Hooray for Sir Giles!
00:56:59Hooray for the dragon killer!
00:57:02Hooray for the dragon...
00:57:04Dragon killer!
00:57:06Oh, gosh!
00:57:25It's all out, dragon!
00:57:27He's coming!
00:57:28He's here now!
00:57:30Now, boy!
00:57:31It's impolite to interrupt a person.
00:57:38Who's coming?
00:57:39Sir Giles!
00:57:40On a big horse, with a long sword and spear!
00:57:43You'll have to fight him!
00:57:46Oh, I never fight!
00:57:47I never did!
00:57:51Doesn't agree with me!
00:57:53But...
00:57:53Now, boy, now, boy!
00:57:54Just run along!
00:57:56Tell Sir Giles to go home!
00:57:57I'm sure you can arrange it!
00:58:00Toodaloo!
00:58:08All right, now, all right!
00:58:10Off you go!
00:58:10Sir Giles can't be disturbed!
00:58:12Sure, and he's in confidence he is!
00:58:14There ain't no one!
00:58:16Absolutely no one can see Sir Giles!
00:58:18Now, off you go!
00:58:19Off you go!
00:58:20Away with you!
00:58:47Come, come, come, come!
00:58:51Come, lad!
00:58:51Stop mumbling!
00:58:54I came to talk about the dragon!
00:58:55Oh, yes, yes, yes!
00:58:57Another tale of woe and misery, I suppose!
00:59:00Deviled your flocks, sir, no doubt!
00:59:04Oh, no, sir!
00:59:05He...
00:59:05Aha!
00:59:06Made off with your loving parents, has he?
00:59:08Well, they shall be avenged!
00:59:13You don't understand!
00:59:15What?
00:59:16Don't tell me he's kidnapped some fair damsel!
00:59:20With flaxen hair and ruby lips and form divine!
00:59:27Why, he can't do that to her!
00:59:29He shall pay dearly on the field of battle!
00:59:32But that's just it!
00:59:34He won't fight!
00:59:35Yes, he...
00:59:36He won't fight!
00:59:40Preposterous!
00:59:40The fellow must be an infernal cad!
00:59:44Bit of a rougher, what?
00:59:46He is not!
00:59:47He's a nice old dragon who likes to write poetry!
00:59:50Poetry?
00:59:51Yes, you know, verses...
00:59:53Oh, jolly!
00:59:56I'm a bit of a bard myself, you know!
00:59:59You a poet, too?
01:00:01Yes!
01:00:02No doubt you've heard of my ode to a fleecy cloud!
01:00:05Well, I...
01:00:06Oh, fleecy cloud!
01:00:08Oh, cloud of fleece!
01:00:10Up in the sky, so high!
01:00:14Oh!
01:00:15Oh, my!
01:00:16Oh, my!
01:00:18But, come, come!
01:00:19Let's not dilly-dally!
01:00:21We must meet this fine fellow at once!
01:00:24Then you'll explain to the dragon about the fight?
01:00:27Yes!
01:00:27Quite right, quite right, quite right!
01:00:28Of course, of course, of course!
01:00:29Quite, quite, quite, quite, quite, quite!
01:00:33I'm the reluctant dragon!
01:00:35What-ho!
01:00:36I, too!
01:00:37The very reluctant dragon!
01:00:39Oh, very, very, don't you know!
01:00:41They call me the Timid Dragon!
01:00:43What rot!
01:00:44I'm not!
01:00:45I just won't fight!
01:00:46I'd rather play!
01:00:47And, no, I shan't get hurt that day!
01:00:48Poor dragon!
01:00:50Oh!
01:00:51Hello, boy!
01:00:52I'm having a picnic!
01:00:53I brought a friend to explain about...
01:00:55Oh, well, well, splendid!
01:00:56The more, the very-er!
01:00:57Now, boy, you sit here, and your friend can sit there!
01:01:01Thank you!
01:01:01Now, let's see now!
01:01:02Pickles, jam, muffins, tea!
01:01:04Oh, yes!
01:01:05Here!
01:01:06Do you have a jam sandwich, sir?
01:01:09Uh, sir, uh...
01:01:11Oh!
01:01:12What did you say your friend's name was?
01:01:15Oh, that's Sir Giles!
01:01:17Sir Giles!
01:01:18Well, well!
01:01:19Yes, you know, the dragon killer!
01:01:21Oh!
01:01:30Sir Giles, you'd better tell the dragon, quick!
01:01:34Oh, yes, of course.
01:01:36You know, uh...
01:01:39I've been looking forward to meeting you.
01:01:41Oh, the boy here tells me you're quite an accomplished poet.
01:01:48Oh, he did, really?
01:01:50Yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:01:51And, uh, if it's not, uh, too much bother, I'd, uh, be pleased to hear you recite.
01:01:57Oh, my dear, dear fellow, no bother!
01:01:59No bother at all!
01:02:02Would you care for sandwich?
01:02:05Oh, Joe, jam.
01:02:07Here, do you have another sandwich, and a piece of cake, and a crumpet, and an olive, and a spot
01:02:12of tea?
01:02:15Oh, girl.
01:02:17Now, this, this is called to an upside-down cake.
01:02:24Sweet little upside-down cake, cares and woes, you've got them.
01:02:29Poor little upside-down cake.
01:02:32Your top is on your bottom.
01:02:35Alas, little upside-down cake, your troubles never stop.
01:02:40Because, little upside-down cake...
01:02:48Your bottom's on your top.
01:02:52Oh, well, how interesting.
01:02:54Stove me.
01:02:55Now, Sir Giles, tell the dragon now.
01:02:58Oh, yes, of course.
01:02:59Well, you know, uh, I'm a bit of a bard myself.
01:03:05Well, oh, how nice!
01:03:08Yes, yes, yes, quite.
01:03:11Radish so red, radish so red,
01:03:16plucked from the heart of your warm little bed,
01:03:21sprinkled with salt on the top of your head.
01:03:29Oh, delicious.
01:03:34Exquisite, simply exquisite.
01:03:36Yes, of course, quite right.
01:03:38Do you mind if I recite a poem?
01:03:41You, boy, why, well, oh, not at all.
01:03:44Oh, of course, of course, rather, rather.
01:03:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:03:48Tis evening.
01:03:49From the stars above, a soft, mysterious light
01:03:54brings thoughts of friendship, joy, and love.
01:03:59Now, how about that fight?
01:04:01Oh, splendid, quite.
01:04:03Fight?
01:04:04Fight?
01:04:05There's nothing to fight about, sides.
01:04:07I don't believe in it.
01:04:09But dragons and knights always fight.
01:04:11That's right, by Jove.
01:04:13You can't disappoint the whole village.
01:04:14Not cricket, you know.
01:04:15Please!
01:04:16Please, I, I do not wish to discuss it further.
01:04:21I refuse to listen.
01:04:23I absolutely will not fight.
01:04:27Good night.
01:04:33You know, it's a shame.
01:04:36It doesn't seem right.
01:04:38This is really a beautiful spot.
01:04:40For a fight?
01:04:41Yes, quite right.
01:04:44Well, I can almost see it.
01:04:46The flags are waving.
01:04:47The people are cheering.
01:04:49Bands are playing.
01:04:49The dragon appears.
01:04:51What a beautiful sight,
01:04:54with his scales all agleam
01:04:56in the dawn's early light.
01:04:59Oh, you're just flattering me.
01:05:01No, no, old fellow, it's true.
01:05:04That beautiful damsel throws flowers at you.
01:05:07At me?
01:05:08At you.
01:05:09As I ramp and I roar, I cut quite a figure.
01:05:12Sir Giles has a spear just like this,
01:05:15only bigger.
01:05:16I get set for the charge and...
01:05:18Did you say spear?
01:05:20Yes, spear.
01:05:22Oh.
01:05:23Oh, dear.
01:05:24No, I'll get hurt.
01:05:25I won't do it.
01:05:26Good day.
01:05:27Just a second, old chap.
01:05:30We might fix it this way.
01:05:36You mean...
01:05:41Oh.
01:05:42Quite so.
01:05:46Are you sure it's quite honest?
01:05:48Just a second.
01:05:49We'll look.
01:05:51Nothing against it here in the book.
01:05:54No.
01:05:55Nothing against it here in the book.
01:05:57If it looks like a battle, I'm sure it's all right.
01:06:00Very well, then.
01:06:01It's settled.
01:06:02Tomorrow we fight.
01:06:03Good night.
01:06:04Good night.
01:06:04Good night.
01:06:05Good night.
01:06:05Good night.
01:06:06Good night.
01:06:06Good night.
01:06:06Good night.
01:06:08There's going to be a fight.
01:06:09There's going to be a fight.
01:06:10A fight?
01:06:13B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b.
01:06:19Oh, I don't. I keep my big mouth shut.
01:06:25So the next day, the villagers gathered to see the valiant knight
01:06:29engaged to the bloodthirsty dragon in a battle to the finish.
01:06:36I'm giving 20 to 1, aren't you?
01:06:38All right, little lady, give it some sort of dragon.
01:06:41End of the smart one.
01:06:43Balloon! Buy the little bit for a balloon.
01:06:45They're amusing, inexpensive, a nice side seat and a nice side spot.
01:06:51Here and now, mind your step, lady, mind your step.
01:06:53Look, the dragon on cut it seems.
01:06:56I'll do the dragon in.
01:07:08Great, sir, come on!
01:07:38It's new.
01:07:40Oh, you might as well tell the people to go away.
01:07:43I can't do it.
01:07:45Oh, but try again.
01:07:46You've got to be mad to breathe fire.
01:07:48And I'm not mad at anybody.
01:07:51But try real hard.
01:07:54Concentrate.
01:08:07Not very good, isn't it?
01:08:10Nope.
01:08:11Too bad you're not a real dragon instead of a punk poet.
01:08:15Punk poet?
01:08:18Oh, say that again.
01:08:20Punk poet.
01:08:20Again.
01:08:21Punk poet.
01:08:22Again.
01:08:23Punk poet.
01:08:24Punk poet.
01:08:26Punk poet.
01:08:27Punk poet.
01:08:28Punk poet.
01:08:29Punk poet.
01:08:31Punk poet.
01:08:31Punk poet.
01:08:35Punk poet.
01:08:37Punk poet.
01:08:50Punk poet.
01:08:52Punk poet.
01:08:52Punk poet.
01:09:08Ready for the dragon!
01:09:10Ready for the dragon!
01:09:40Dragon! Dragon!
01:09:43Strawberry, the spider has disappeared.
01:09:46Yahoo! Here I am!
01:09:48Oh, so you are.
01:09:50Am I doing all right?
01:09:51I say, oh boy, stop acting this silly arse, will you?
01:09:55Oh!
01:09:57Help!
01:09:58Oh, no!
01:09:59Ouch!
01:10:00Oh, help!
01:10:04Oh!
01:10:05No, no, stop it!
01:10:06Oh, no, you're not!
01:10:07Stop it!
01:10:08Oh, no, you must do that!
01:10:09Oh, no, you must do that!
01:10:10Oh, no, you must do that!
01:10:11Oh, no!
01:10:12Oh, no!
01:10:16It's horrible, ain't it?
01:10:18Oh, no!
01:10:19Help!
01:10:20Help!
01:10:21Oh, no!
01:10:21One lump or two!
01:10:22Help!
01:10:23Oh!
01:10:23Don't mind if I do.
01:10:24Oh, you bugger!
01:10:26Help!
01:10:26Help!
01:10:28Now, I'll chase you.
01:10:31Help!
01:10:32Oh!
01:10:32Oh, no, no, no!
01:10:34Oh, no, no!
01:10:35Help!
01:10:37Hey, Sir Giles!
01:10:50Help!
01:10:53Help!
01:10:54Help!
01:10:55Help!
01:10:56Take that!
01:11:04Help!
01:11:05Help!
01:11:07Help!
01:11:07Take that!
01:11:08Help!
01:11:08Oh, no!
01:11:08Help!
01:11:09No, no, no!
01:11:10Ouch!
01:11:12Help!
01:11:12Oh!
01:11:13Take that!
01:11:14Stop it!
01:11:15Oh, no!
01:11:16Help!
01:11:16Stay the cave!
01:11:17Oh, the time has come, you know.
01:11:19You mean, I die now?
01:11:21Oh, yes, indeed.
01:11:23As Pearl agreed, we'll seal our pact, old thing.
01:11:27Take that!
01:11:50And so, as per a greed,
01:11:53Sir Giles completely reformed this ferocious dragon,
01:11:57whereupon the satisfied villagers welcomed him into society.
01:12:03I promise not to rant and roar
01:12:08and scourge the countryside any more.
01:12:12For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow,
01:12:16for he's a jolly good fellow.
01:12:24So, while you were shilly-shallying, they made the picture.
01:12:27I never knew it to fail.
01:12:29In all the years I've known you, you've always been too late.
01:12:32Really, Robert, I can't understand why you're forever
01:12:34letting these opportunities slip through your fingers.
01:12:36Anyone else would have thought of it in time, months ago.
01:12:39No, but you...
01:12:43Well, why don't you say something?
01:12:45Oh, sure.
01:12:48Sure.
01:12:56Why don't you say something?
01:12:56You can't wait for my rouge.
01:12:57I can't wait for your fingers.
01:12:58I can't wait for my fingers.
01:12:58No!
01:13:00I can't wait for your fingers.
01:13:00Go into it!
01:13:03I will wait for my fingers.
