- This is Lieutenant
Thomas, Venus explorer.

Guess what?

Our space flight was successful.

We made it!



The Vieutian beasts appear
to have a rudimentary city.

We must be careful.

Right Felix?

Do you copy sidekick?

What are you doing?

- I'm exploring Venus, remember?

- You need good air.

- Maybe I adapted to Venus air.

- See, that's great now.

- Thomas.

- I'm supposed to be alone mom.

Being this is an uninhabited planet.

- Actually, you're supposed
to be getting ready to leave.

I told Mrs. Paul we'd
be there 10 minutes ago.

- Who's Mrs. Paul?

- Chester's mom.

- Why am I going
to see Chester's mom?

- You're going to see Chester.

- Who?

- He'll be in your class in the fall.

- Not another one.

- And Felix stays here.

You're going to Chester's to
actually play with Chester.

- I just don't want a repeat
of last fall to Rock Island.

- Me either, that's why I
set this appointment up.

Ready?

- Nope.

- You look like you got
some provisions here.

Legos, okay.

What's with all these clothes?

- Be prepared.

You know?

- Okay.

- Let's get this over with.

- It's gonna be fun.

- There's no Felix?

- It's a human only trip.

- Yup.

Just us people.

The trick is to outrun them.

You don't want to get caught.

Yes!

Like that!

Did you see that Thomas?

You want next?

- Thanks.

- How goes it?

- As smooth as Pop Rocks.

- You should get ready to play.

I don't think Chester's very good at this.

- I've gotta get in all
my screen time today,

'cause there won't be any at camp.

Are you going to camp?

Did they have camp in Illinois?

Around here everyone goes.

Oh no!

Okay, you could have next next turn.

Camp is toad's awesome.

Aside from the no screen
thing, that sucks.

Mom!

You're a nut job!

- Can you pass the peas please?

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Shut up.

- Excuse me?

- I was talking to Felix.

- See.

- I know.

I know.

- What?

- Hey!

- Your dad and I think you're spending

too much time with Felix,

and not enough time
with kids your own age.

- That's silly.

I just saw Chester.

- Yeah, and his mother banned
you from her house forever.

- Felix will think this is hilarious.

- Listen, we just want you to make friends

before the school year.

- I have a friend.

A good friend.

- If you spend as much time making friends

as you do making things up--

- Thomas, since we are the parents,

we've talked about it and--

- And we

are

sending you to summer camp.

You're going to Slumber Falls.

- It's gonna be great.

I went to camp when I was a kid.

I had a fantastic time.

- Felix doesn't like swimming.

Or water even.

- Tom.

We don't think you should take Felix.

- It's just, none of the other kids

are gonna have a teddy bear.

- He's a fox.

- Well, they're not really
gonna have a fox either.

Come on, it'll be great for you.

You get to meet the other kids and--

- How can I make friends with other kids?

You guys keep moving me around.

I've been friends with Felix forever.

- I am sure you and the other kids

are gonna have a great time.

- I know.

- Thomas?

It's time to say goodnight.

You wanna sing it with me?

♪ Soar up honey ♪

♪ Moon is not too far ♪

♪ Stars are in reach ♪

♪ Take a step ♪

♪ And the reach the sky ♪

You're bringing marshmallows?

- Dad made me.

- Yeah.

S'mores and then for chubby bunny.

- Chubby bunny?

- Yeah.

It's where you try and
fit as many marshmallows

as you can into your mouth

and still say the words chubby bunny.

It's fun.

Has anybody seen my coffee pot?

- Alright, it looks like we got...

- Here ya go.

- Whoa, hey, whoa!

Are you kidding me?

What is, it's like our little arsonist--

- Fire kit, yeah, for camp.

Just don't burn your cabin down.

Any stowaways?

- No stowaways.

No socks either.

- Okay, I got this.

Take that with you.

- I can have this?

- For camp.

It's just for emergencies.

- Felix was for emergencies.

- But Felix is staying here.

- Did you, check his bag for stowaways?

- Yeah, I packed it.

I didn't pack him like a rain jacket or--

- You can just give him your umbrella.

I'll give him my umbrella.

- This place is insane.

- That thermos is insane.

- He said he needed canteen.

- That's our canteen?

- I'm so gonna drown.

- No you're not.
- No you won't.

- No you won't,
you're a good swimmer.

You're just being dramatic.

You know that we're gonna miss you.

- It's gonna be fun alright.

You know what, he's gonna be fine.

He'll probably call us tonight

telling us how much fun he's having right?

- Yeah.

- Because, mom says so!

What?

- This is the guy.

Your mom is gonna buy me a new TV.

It's a sign of the Order of the Owl.

It's sacred.

Members only.

And don't try to steal one.

- You try to steal one,
Ian the terrible will,

break your legs.

- He broke Ben Hensley's leg last year,

just for running in the dining hall!

- Broke it right in half!

- I'm up top.

Do you pee the bed?

- He does.

- Only when I drink Kool-Aid.

- Just like I thought it would be.

- What are you doing?

- I was just--

- Oh wait, I forgot, I don't care.

It's swim trials.

Get out there asap.

Bring your canteen.

Canteen goes with you everywhere.

And your swimsuit, get your swimsuit.

And stay inside the white rocks,

or else you'll wind up off the path

and lost and a bear might eat you.

And I'll be the one looking for you.

We do laps so that we can
tell if you're a good swimmer.

If you're a good swimmer
you get a blue bead.

If you do okay you get a yellow.

And then a red.

- And red for?

- A non-swimmer.

- No thanks, I'm a conscientious objector.

I didn't even bring my towel.

- Hey fill it.

Stay hydrated.

- I'm already like 75% water.

Sorry.

- Hi Thomas.

- Hi clones.

- You have to change for dinner.

- Everyone has to go to every meal,

even, red beads.

- I'm not a red bead, I'm a no bead.

I wear this bead in protest.

- You have to wear it.

So we know you'll drown.

- I don't need your dumb blue beads.

I've been to places you
can't even think of.

The lake, ha!

Kids stuff.

I'll show you guys a real adventure.

- Look, he's been playing
with his stuffed animal.

Like a baby!

- Trying new things is hard.

- Don't say I didn't try.

- Hey, that's for emergencies.

- This is an emergency.

- Thomas, how's camp?

You making friends?

- Dad, you need to come
and get me out of here.

- Look, just hang in there.

It'll make your mom so happy.

- Does he sound okay?

- He sounds fine, hold on a second.

- They laughed at me.

- What about Chester?

- You're taking their side now.

No one's on my side but me and Felix.

- We're giving you a chance to

get away from your stuffed animal

and try to make some real friends.

- Wait, what is he saying?

- On our own Felix.

- Dinner squirt.

Hurry it up.

The monster's in the mess hall tonight.

- Good evening campers!

- Good evening Counselor Mike!

- I'd like to welcome you old hats

back to Slumber Falls.

And I'd like to welcome some
of our new campers as well.

Now we here at Slumber Falls,
we have a little tradition.

Just because it's summer, that doesn't

mean that learning's done.

Mm mm.

You all know what I'm talking about.

- Useless information

of the day!

- That's right.

It's time for useless
information of the day.

What day?

- Day one!

- And to help me out, I'm gonna need to

bring up our monsters.

So please, put your hands together

for the monsters horror shop quartet.

- Trio!

- Oh, trio.

- It's time for.

- The number of monkeys
scientists have taught

sign language are more people than live

in the entire state of Iowa.

That's cool.

- What, you don't wanna see the monsters?

- I've already seen them.

- Oh yeah?

You caught the early?

- Exactly.

Great show.

Excuse me.

- Nah da da da.

Hold up, there is no early show.

Go back to your seat.

- I don't even know what
they're talking about.

Iowa?

Scientists?

Monkeys?

- Is there a problem here?

- There's no problem here, Ian.

- Okay, well you can come with me squirt.

You've wandered off one too many times.

- You know, hold on Ian.

This young man just
volunteered for KP duty.

- KP?

- Get your back into it.

Really get into those beans.

So, where were you heading?

- Nowhere, just out.

- Out's good.

I had some things out there.

Most I like especially.

- Things like what?

- Who knows.

- Well it's gotta be better than here.

They threw me in the water this morning.

- Can't swim?

- I can swim awesome.

That was a protest.

- Oh sure.

Like running out of dinner was a protest?

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Go find adventures where you like.

- See, you understand me.

I wanna go find adventures where I like.

- Like say,

run off into them woods?

- I can manage.

- Yeah, there's no one
there to tell you to swim.

Say go to bed and live off the wilderness.

You can live in your own world out there.

I hear they have a nice
campfire opening night.

That sound like an adventure?

I'll take care of the rest.

Maybe

put up these tubs of dirty dishes

off across the lake.

Off to that land of Who Knows.

- Thanks.

- Oh boy.

- I open this first campfire of the summer

in the name of the Order of the Owl.

We, like the owl, are wise.

We respect the woods and the great totem.

We stay on the path clearly marked.

- Shh, I don't know what's
with the white rocks.

- They just mark a safe path around here.

- I heard they control the totem.

- Oh great totem,

help me to call down favors to help

these young campers on
their summer journeys.

Behold and be not afraid.

The great forest totem is among us.

- That's just Ian.

- It's a sacred ceremony.

Why can't you just get into it?

Pretend along with the rest of the kids.

Just go to your cabin.

Just stay there all day for all I care.

- We don't need these people
telling us when to eat,

how to swim, and how much to drink.

- Or how many
monkeys know sign language.

- Yeah.

- Your bead!

- That's a sign of my oppression.

Here we can make a new necklace.

We're master swimmers.

Shell level swimmers.

- Man, we're gonna look good.

- Now what shall we do with our world?

Whoa, look at this.

An ancient trail.

- Maybe it's a sign of the totem.

- Yeah right.

I thought exploring took longer.

- There is no set time.

- This is definitely home base.

Fortress in the Who Knows.

- This is just like being
back at camp though.

Foxes don't hang around home base.

They roam.

- There's no one to tell us
what to do or where to go.

We can do anything we like.

- We can roam?

- Yeah.

But we have a base now.

Search party!

- What?

Should we say hi?

- You don't understand
running away do you?

Do you think they'll give up?

- I don't think they can.

Not until they find you.

Or your body.

- My body?

- They've gotta know.

You're either there

or you know, in the Who Knows.

- Weird.

- Maybe we should go back.

- No.

So, we catch the fish

and then we just eat the fish?

- If it's cold, that's sushi.

- Should we cook it?

- It doesn't seem right to
cook anybody in the Who Knows.

A man's gotta eat though.

Got anything?

- Nope.

Are you sure fish like peanut butter?

That kid Randy was allergic to nuts.

Maybe fish are allergic to peanut butter.

- Yeah.

♪ Useless information of the day ♪

- Stop it.

Hey, Felix.

It gets dark pretty quickly
out here in the Who Knows.

- We got a whole sky to sleep under.

- But we got a base.

- What if there's a totem out here?

- Exactly.

We got a base with lanterns.

Oh!

- What's with the rocks?

- Just, you know,

in case I need to use them.

Way better than a dumb campfire right?

- It's something.

Search party probably won't see.

- We'll leave it on while we sleep.

Just in case.

- In case of what?

- It'll be on all night.

If anything comes, it'll be on tape.

- You mean film?

- I mean digital.

It's kind of like a security camera.

Get up.

- Foxes are nocturnal.

- What do you think it saw?

- Lots of snoring.

- It'll be on all night.

If anything comes, it'll be on tape.

- You mean film?

- I mean digital.

It's kind of like a security.

This is awesome.

Wait.

It stopped.

- I know, keep going.

- No, I mean, that's all.

- What was that?

- A bird, a mega bird.

Maybe an elk.

- What's that totem supposed to look like?

- That's hokey camp stuff.

- Right.

- Okay, so I don't know what it is now,

but I will, and I'm gonna capture it.

And we're using the
marshmallows as bait of course.

- But all we have left
to eat is marshmallows.

- We can eat herbs and
spices from the woods.

- Or we could go back.

Safety in numbers, you know?

I'll even sleep in the thermos.

- And miss the discovery of a lifetime?

How big do you figure this thing is?

- Probably average.

- Average to what?

- Spirit type things.

- I plan to make it as big as a deer.

Small deer.

- It had the phone way up by the roof.

- You're right, better
add some pokey sticks.

- You know, the Native Americans honored

their spirits and deities.

They respected them.

- You have to be pretty crazy

to believe in that kind of stuff.

Come on, help me with the marshmallows.

If the Native Americans had
all those spirits and stuff,

where did they go?

- Maybe they knew you were coming

and took an early retirement.

- Why can't the scientists find them?

- I don't think scientists
know about the marshmallows.

What's this tied here for?

- It'll sound and set off
an alarm and seal its fate.

Well?

- I foresee no problems.

Maybe it can't smell the bait.

- Maybe it smells us.

- And I'm hungry.

I don't know if fish like marshmallows.

- We should start hunting.

I have a knack with traps.

- Clearly.

- Do you really believe
something's out there?

- What?

In the forest?

- The universe.

What could be out there
in a big empty space?

- I'm not sure it's that far away.

- I mean, how ridiculous to think

that some invisible good
could be floating around

and patrolling things.

It certainly doesn't help me out much.

- I guess it depends
on how you see things.

You hear that?

- Yeah, it's bugs and stuff.

Come on.

- No, it's something else.

It's the

defacer!

You've been defaced!

- Give it back!

- No!

- Do you think
they know I'm gone?

- They're probably worried.

- Those kids didn't sound worried.

- Your parents
might send a search party.

- I'll keep moving.

- How far are you going to go?

Another city?

Another country?

The moon?

Felix.

Hey, Felix!

We need to get back to the base!

- Chubby bunny?

- Are you kidding me right now?

You're not even smart enough

to not set off a trap.

How long have I known you?

Years.

That's my whole life.

Sly as a fox.

Crazy like a fox.

I'm gonna go ahead and add
treacherous like a fox.

Monster!

Run!

Run!

See it?

- I thought you were trying to catch it?

- That was before it was all
goggly eyed and big and real.

- So, do you wanna run away?

- I wanted to catch it

so I didn't have to run away.

- Then go talk to it.

- You go talk to it.

- I'll be nearby.

- Okay, if I hoot like
an owl that's our signal.

For our plan.

- What plan?

- I'm working on it.

- Okay.

I'll go draw it out.

Come out.

I meant that in a, come out

and let's have a nice chat sort of way.

Not as a come out and eat me sort of way.

Hello there little friend.

- Hey, stop fraternizing with the enemy.

Hey.

Wait.

Gotcha!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ow.

- Ow.

- Way to stick to the plan.

- Was that the plan flying pass?

It looked wonderful.

- Let's regroup.

Okay, first of all, those bugs.

- Sprites.

- Okay, how do we know they're okay?

They're friends with that monster.

- It doesn't seem that monstrous to me.

- It didn't mess up my pokey stick.

- Have you considered inviting it?

- Oh right.

I'll just ask it to tea.

- We tried it your way,

how about trying it another way?

- Not a trap.

Maybe some place it likes.

- Some place special.

- I never quite
got the white rocks thing.

- More inviting.

- Well, to have a friend,
you have to be a friend.

Mom said that.

I don't know whether to
be excited or terrified.

- Maybe both are okay.

- Do you think I scared it away?

- I don't know.

You did try to trap it.

- Yeah.

- You know,

the Who Knows is an unusual place.

A little magical, a little dangerous.

Most people don't even look for it

but you're still here.

- What do you think would happen

if I brought somebody else out here?

- To the Who Knows?

- Like dad.

Or mom.

Or even Chester.

- Maybe nothing.

But then, maybe something too.

- I've never even imagined
anything like you.

- Come on, off into the Who Knows!

- Wait up!

- An improvement.

but now we have a view.

- Neat.

- It wants us to fly.

- I don't know about foxes,

but people are attached to dirt.

- I'm sure these get inspected for safety.

- Oh,

sure.

Is this real?

Let's go see the camp.

- We can do that?

- Look at us, we can do anything.

- That's what you wanna do?

- Just to see how lame they are.

Let's go.

- Where?

- Someplace cool.

- You don't wanna do their owl dance?

- Not even a little bit.

We can go anywhere we want

and I don't want it to be here.

- We could check in on
home if we wanted to.

I bet your mom's making
those chewy brownies.

- I guess it wouldn't
hurt to check in on them.

- Donald, come on!

- Can't they tell we're up here?

- Up this high?

Not very big.

We fit between your fingers.

- Look at them, just peas in a pod.

- We could say hi.

- Yeah right.

They've been waiting to get rid of me.

Let's get out of here.

I just got a great idea.

- You're gonna call them?

- No, we can do this flying
thing to keep exploring.

- The forest?

- And beyond.

We can just keep floating and floating.

- But we have to bring it back.

It's the totem's.

- We don't need the totem.

- The totem's our friend now.

- You're my friend.

- It can't be just you and me forever.

You know that.

- Why not?

I want things to go back
to the way they were.

- Don't you think you're
missing something?

- You sound just like 'em now.

There's no one on my side except me.

Just me.

I'm all alone.

Felix!

Felix!

Felix!

Felix, are you there?

I lost my friend!

Please, help me!

Felix!

Felix!

Felix?

Chubby bunny.

Hold on Felix!

I'm coming!

Oh!

Got stuck huh?

I couldn't even find the white rocks.

You should've seen me
running all over the place.

You got me really worried.

I was actually really scared.

For real.

Hey, at least I found you.

Just me, my friend Felix,

having adventures in the woods.

I know you didn't think
I'd find you, but I did.

It was a really big tree,

but I wasn't afraid.

Did you get sick out there?

We'll find all kinds of
trouble to get into tomorrow.

Depends on what you're up for.

What's that?

Oh.

I thought you said something.

Come on, we might actually
catch something this time.

Come on.

He's not right.

Please help me.

Please!

Hey, no!

I'm sorry I always mess things up.

Just bring back my friend, okay?

I'll do anything you want.

Please help me.

It's you!

- Mostly.

You're squishing my guts.

- What's with them?

- Oh.

They're my friends.

- I don't know if we're gonna have

enough marshmallows for everyone.

- They don't really eat marshmallows.

- You can eat them.

I'll find herbs and
berries from the woods.

- Thomas--

- And we can go back to
the camp if you want.

It'll be just like before.

Okay, we could do anything you like.

We can stay here.

- I don't think this is the sort of place

you can stay in forever.

- What is this place really?

- You can't really
understand the Who Knows.

'Cause then it's just The Knows.

- Not even a hint?

- You'll know some day.

You're already halfway there.

- I don't know what I'm
gonna do without you.

- You might feel lonely sometimes,

but,

you're never really alone.

- I'm glad you get to
stay with the totem Felix.

- You'll have even bigger adventures

than these ones Thomas.

- Felix.

You're my best friend.

Don't burn your cabin down.

Mom!

I'm over here!

I'm here!

I'm alive!

I'm alone!

- Tom?

- Mom?

Hey!

I'm here!

Mama!

- Thomas!

- Hey!

- Are you okay!

Are you okay?

- Yes!

- Stay there, stay!

- Babe you good?

Yeah?

- You okay?

You okay?

You're not hurt?

- 7285, code six.

- Did you make that fire?

- You cannot run away like that.

- I know.

- You could have starved bud.

- I had all those marshmallows.

- You see what happens when
you go outside the white rocks?

You get lost.

That's why we have protocol.

- And did you get lost or did you just

go out there to wander?

- I wandered around til I
got lost enough to come back.

- Lost is just lost.

- Yeah, sounds like you ain't never

been lost in your whole life.

- We thought you'd drowned or something.

- I was on the other
side, in the Who Knows.

- What's that?

- It's a secret sort of thing.

- What does that even mean?

- Don't say it.

If you say it, it won't
be a secret anymore.

Awesome.

- Oh my god!

He's back.

And they were looking everywhere.

How'd you even make it all the way over?

- I'm Thomas, and this is for you.

- Me?

- I got it for crossing the lake.

- No one's ever crossed the lake before.

- Me and Felix crossed the lake.

We had some real adventures.

- Where is Felix now?

- He went right into the Who Knows.

He's still there.

- Felix.

Felix the fox.

You're a crazy kid.

He had a game controller
wrapped around the ceiling.

He was swinging all over
the place like a monkey.
