Josh Kirby: Time Warrior! Chap. 3: Trapped on Toyworld (1995) - full transcript
Jash and his friends end up on an alien world that's basically a toyland.
(MultiCom Jingle)
(exciting music)
(booming)
(clock ticks)
- My name is Josh Kirby.
I was just your average ninth grader.
My biggest problem was
getting good grades,
and my idea of excitement
was racing my bicycle.
(bell rings)
Yes!
I never thought time
would catch up with me,
but I couldn't have imagined
that hundreds of years from now
mankind would invent the Nullifier,
a device capable of controlling
or destroying the universe.
- [Irwin] Prepare for the storm.
- [Josh's Voiceover] A
scientist named Irwin 1138
tried to disassemble
and hide the Nullifier,
but even he couldn't stop.
- [Irwin] Dr. Zoetrope!
(zinging)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Give me the Nullifier.
- You're too late, Zoetrope.
- It's never too late for me.
(zooming)
- Irwin and Zoetrope
have been chasing each other
across the time stream,
trying to be the first to
find the Nullifier's pieces.
This time they're gonna land in 1995.
The place, my front yard.
Now I'm going along for
the ride of all time.
(zooming)
What's goin' on, where are we?
- I hope you're prepared
to do battle, young man.
This will be a war through time,
and Dr. Zoetrope will take no prisoners.
(booming)
(exciting instrumental music)
- [Josh] But we've got
help from a warrior.
- My name is Azabeth Siege.
- Oh, she's amazing!
And a magical creature called
Prism to show us the way.
Together, we're on a quest through time,
visiting different worlds to fight
for the Nullifier's pieces.
- I'm obviously in the right
place and the right time.
- Because if Zoetrope ever
assembles the Nullifier,
he'll conquer time itself.
I've gotta try and save the universe.
(exciting instrumental music)
(swords clang)
(exciting instrumental music)
I was just a 14-year-old kid
before my adventure began,
but now I'm Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(upbeat exciting music)
- [Narrator] On the last chapter
of Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(zooming)
- 70,379 AD.
(yells)
- Yeah, what was that thing?
I thought we were still on Earth.
- We are still on Earth, Josh,
but the Earth of the far future.
(yelling)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Come on, you big bully,
catch me if you can!
- Listen to me, boy,
there are forces at work here
which you cannot understand.
- Well, come along you two.
Time is one thing we
can't afford to waste.
(zinging)
- Prism, don't touch that button!
I don't believe it!
Prism's gone rogue!
(tense instrumental music)
- Help!
Help!
- Josh Kirby!
Hold on, Josh Kirby!
(Josh yells)
(booming)
(yelling)
(slow tense music)
(yelling)
(swooshing)
(laughing)
(yelling)
(groaning)
- Ow, serious near head injury.
It's definitely better than hyper-time
with a toy box soundtrack.
(sighs)
Ow.
(tense tinkling music)
- [Man] Growl!
(tense tinkling music)
- Yeah, probably just the wind.
(tinkling)
Yeah, yeah, or else I'm hearing things.
Hey, wouldn't be surprised
with the number of head
shots I've taken today.
(slow tinkling music)
♫ Dancing in the forest
♫ Under the blue sky
♫ Sing with the birds
♫ And floating like a butterfly
♫ Living in a dreamworld
♫ Red and blue dreamworld
♫ Oh it's good to be a toy
♫ In Toy World
♫ Toy World, Toy World
♫ Oh happiness and joy world
♫ Oh it's good to be a toy
♫ In Toy World
- Uh, hello?
- [Doll] Hello.
- Who's there?
- [Doll] Who's there?
- No, wait, I just saw you.
- [Doll] I just saw you.
- [Josh] Now this place is really weird.
- [Doll] Maybe you're weird.
- Excuse me?
- [Doll] Excuse me?
- Now, look, my name's Josh,
and I'm afraid I'm lost.
- Don't be afraid, Josh.
- Hi.
Well, I, I-I didn't really
mean that I was afraid.
You know, not of you anyway.
- Well, maybe you should be.
(laughing)
(playful music)
- What the heck did you do that for?
- Because it's funny, why else?
- Well, I don't know, maybe you're nuts!
- Oh, sticks and stones, moans and groans.
Call me Annie and hold still.
Can't be too careful these days.
Cooties, ya know.
I mean, I've had my
shots, but what about you?
I don't know your assembly
date, your batch number,
your power supply.
These are important considerations
for a modern-day doll.
- My batch number?
- Oh, please, you think
you can just waltz in here
like some kind of studly action figure,
chase me around my own house,
and then pull the blank-face routine?
Come on, Josh.
I mean, sure, you're cute, darn cute,
but you're only,
(twinkling music)
(gasps)
oh, you're a non.
- A non?
- Non-toy.
- And what's that make you?
- [Annie] Unzip me.
- What?
- Just do it and you'll see.
- All right, if you insist.
- Lower.
(zipping)
(exciting music)
(beeping)
- Holy smokes, you mean you're a?
- That's right.
- You're a living doll!
- Oh, why thank you, Josh.
(giggles)
- [Josh] Oh, uh, Annie, listen,
I'm kind of confused right now,
so if you could clue me in--
- Just think, a non-toy here with me.
Oh, I'm so excited I could rip a stitch!
- How about we start with where we are?
What do you call this place?
- Lookout behind you.
- Look outta what?
- Growl!
(yells)
- Boys will be boys,
and bears'll be bears.
Josh meet Theo.
- Get off me!
(growls)
- He likes to play.
- Hi, Theo.
You know, I don't really think ambushing
a poor, defenseless kid
exactly counts as play.
- Well he's a hungry bear.
Maybe he thought you'd be good to eat.
- Toys don't eat.
- Well, obviously you're not up
on the latest toy technology.
Show him, Theo.
(mumbling)
(playful music)
- This Teddy's a treat, he can really eat.
(Theo mumbles)
Oh boy, this place is really weird.
- No it's not, you silly, it's Toy World.
(giggles)
(zooming)
- [Irwin] Thank goodness
you're back, Prism.
Come on, you can do it, little friend.
- Does he have it?
Has he found the position for Josh Kirby?
- Not possible.
The mysterious depths of
Prism's tracking powers
still have to be fully fathomed.
- We must succeed, we must!
- I understand, young lady,
but you must realize the
difficulty of our task.
The odds of our stumbling upon poor Josh
among the eons of hyper-time
are precisely one in 5,487,600--
- Yes, yes, I understand.
- And three.
(Prism chirps)
And then, of course, there's
still Dr. Zoetrope 366.
There is the off chance that
Zoetrope's slightly superior
intellect may enhance his ability
to pinpoint Josh's location.
- Oh, then what you are
saying is hardly encouraging.
- Perhaps, but we do have one advantage,
the unparalleled and infallible technology
of my time pod's instrumentation.
All invented by myself, of course,
which will undoubtedly
lead us to Josh first
and prove once and for all
that I am more than Zoetrope's equal.
(zinging)
(alarm beeps)
What?
- Well, is this the
unparalleled or infallible part?
- But,
(beeping)
my electronic circuits.
- As the fourth code of Kang states,
that which is unparalleled
cannot be infallible.
(alarm beeps)
(giggling)
- [Josh] Uh, how long
til my clothes are dry?
- Oh, not long, should
be right this afternoon.
- You mean I have to stay
in these clothes all day?
I look like Pinocchio.
(sighs)
What are you doing?
- Orange pekoe, quite refreshing.
(Theo mumbles)
- It's all this guy Zoetrope's fault.
A real evil genius, you know?
Determined to twist time around
his little demented finger.
He also destroyed my CBL bracelet,
which means I should
still be in limbo land,
but that's another story.
- Sounds serious.
- Yeah, no kidding.
I've gotta get back to the time pod,
so my friends and I can stop him,
(playful music)
put everything back to normal.
- One lump of sugar or two?
- The entire universe is in peril,
and all you can do is drink pretend tea?
Hello!
Have you heard a word I've said?
- Every word, Josh.
You're obviously a raving lunatic non-toy
who should be rushed
to Gepetto immediately.
- Who's Gepetto?
- Oh.
- Why, he who builds all toys, of course!
The merry maker, the top
tinker, the clever creator--
- Yeah, I got it.
- And he's the only non-toy in Toy World,
except for you.
- Yeah, maybe he can help me.
- He can do anything.
- All right, let's go meet this Gepetto.
We haven't got much time.
- But you haven't touched your tea.
- I know that, Annie.
I'm just waiting for it to cool.
In the meantime,
I have something to tell you both,
something a little scary,
make that very scary.
You see, Dr. Zoetrope is also a toy maker,
and right now he's searching
for the parts to a toy bomb
that could easily destroy all of Toy World
and the toy universe.
It's called the Nullifier.
A brilliant scientist named Irwin 1138
tried to disassemble and hide
all of the six Nullifier pieces.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Prepare for the storm.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Josh] Irwin 1138's plan
was to scatter the pieces all across time.
(swooshing)
(beeps)
(ringing)
(slow dramatic music)
(beeps)
(swooshing)
(dramatic music)
- Next.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
Next.
(swooshing)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeping)
(swooshing)
We need another 93 seconds.
Seal the door.
- [Josh] Dr. Zoetrope, an
even more brilliant scientist,
has been doing everything in his power
to reassemble the Nullifier pieces
and destroy the universe.
(exciting instrumental music)
(popping)
(yelling)
- [Irwin] Quick,
load the final component!
- [Man] Let's go.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(thuds)
(yelling)
Let's go!
- [Irwin] Dr. Zoetrope!
(zings)
- [Man] Man, run!
(zinging)
Go!
(zooming)
(beeps)
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
- [Man] Brother!
(zinging)
(groans)
(tense music)
- [Man] I can't hold him off!
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Man] Come on, we gotta get outta here!
This way!
(dramatic instrumental music)
(men yell)
- Irwin, you're a lunatic.
- You're too late, Zoetrope!
- It's never too late for me.
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
(groans)
(footsteps thud)
(dramatic music)
(rapid beeping)
(tense instrumental music)
In the name of all of
creation, twisted old man,
what have you done?
(swooshing)
- And it's my job to keep
it from being put together.
Ah,
so,
don't you think we should be on our way?
- I say, shall we dance?
- Yeah!
- What?
When did he talk?
- [Annie] Since he wanted to dance silly.
(Theo mumbles)
(playful music)
- I can't believe this.
The fate of everything that
ever has been or ever will be
is up for grabs and you guys are dancing!
- Oh, come on, Josh,
lighten up and shake a leg.
(playful music)
(Theo mumbles)
- Just a sec.
(laughing)
Wait a minute!
(laughing)
- What is it?
- It's a piece of the Nullifier.
- How did you know it was there, old man?
- I didn't.
(laughing)
Not really.
It was like, it was like
I was meant to find it.
(laughing)
(swooshing)
(alarm beeps)
- Well, that should do it.
Try it, Prism.
(alarm beeps)
(Prism mumbles)
Excellent!
We're back in business.
(rumbling)
(dramatic music)
- What now?
- Blast!
The gravitational repulsors
are still on the faulty side.
The debris from the time stream
is going to batter us senseless
if we don't get out of here soon.
- No, we cannot leave here
until we locate Josh Kirby.
- Well then we'd better locate him quickly
or it'll be too bad for all of us.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(booming)
- So, what's it like?
- What's what like?
- You know, being non-toy,
truly alive.
- Well, that's a hard one, Annie.
Wouldn't you rather know
about the periodic table
or the Aztecs?
- Idiotic table of spaztecs?
- Nevermind.
Well, I, I guess life is
different for different people.
I mean, everybody wakes up in the morning
and brushes their teeth,
but then there's about a million decisions
that have to be made.
It gets kind of confusing, but
I guess, I guess life's
what you make of it,
as my dad would say
over and over and over.
- Oh, it sounds wonderful.
- It does?
- Well, sure.
I mean, what you're saying is
that non-toys can do anything
if they try hard enough.
Us toys just keep doing the
same things over and over
because it's how we're made.
It's all we know.
After awhile it gets kind of.
- Tiring?
- Exactly.
A modern-day doll needs stimulation,
and I'm just not getting any.
- Well, I don't know, Annie,
you seem pretty full of life to me.
- Hah, I'm just a toy.
Could a real person do this?
(ripping)
(chiming music)
- Uh, yeah, well, you made your point.
- I mean, toys don't
learn, toys don't grow.
We play the same games,
sing the same songs,
and dance the same dances forever.
- Well it's no cakewalk
being human either,
or non-toy, I mean.
There's a lot of problems
you can't even imagine.
- Now you sound like Gepetto.
- Look, all I'm saying is you
toys get to have nonstop fun.
You don't have to worry
about tests or bullies
or the ozone layer.
- What I wouldn't give
for those problems, Josh.
To awaken and face the
challenges of a new day,
to labor for one's dreams,
to achieve one's desires,
to feel the warm touch
of a non-toy caress,
to share with that special someone
a physical and emotional
bond of pure passion,
the power of true love.
- Well, Annie,
I suddenly feel very
thankful for being human.
- I say, Josh old chap, look over here.
- Oh, can we continue
this discussion later?
- Sure, I guess so.
- Okay.
(playful music)
- Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
- Oh, look.
Gepetto's castle.
(magical music)
- Wow, nice place.
- Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
(playful upbeat music)
- So how do we get in there?
- I ask the questions around here.
- Whoa, an egg that talks?
- Eggxactly.
- Okay, what's the question?
- Knock knock.
- Who's there?
- I don't know.
- I don't know.
- I don't know who?
- I don't know who you are,
so you can make an eggxit.
- Oh, come on, Egg, do we have to beg?
- Eggxcruciating, isn't it?
(chuckles) This is Toy World,
remember the yolk's on you.
(upbeat playful music)
- [Theo] Hello, chaps, hello!
- Hi, I'm just visiting.
Hi, I'm a toy-boy, boy-toy,
well, if you wanna get technical about it,
nevermind.
(laughing)
(excited chattering)
- Hey, Theo!
- Give me five, oh!
- Hi!
(playful music)
- [Annie] Hello.
- Hi, I'm from out of town.
Oh, that's a nice beak
you got there.
- Thank you.
- That's nice, that's
nice, hi, nice to see ya,
nice to see ya.
Oh boy, hi, hello.
This is great, this.
(excited chattering)
(gentle music)
Hey!
Hey there!
You must be Gepetto, right?
- Why, yes.
And for some reason I can't imagine,
you're not a toy.
- Well, no, I.
- Not a toy?
(drumming and whistle music)
I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.
(drumming and whistle music)
Request permission to prepare
the interrogation room, sir!
- Oh, Jason, we don't even
have an interrogation room.
- It's Jack, not Jason.
What he meant was,
it's not quite operational yet,
but it could be!
Jack,
Action Jack,
private first class.
(patriotic drumming and whistle music)
(crunching)
(chuckles)
(groans)
Nice to meet ya.
- Yeah, yeah, a real pleasure.
Look, uh,
I need your help.
See, I don't know how I got
here and, uh, I'm kinda scared.
I've gotta get back to my
friends in the time pod,
and you seem to be the
man running the show.
- Did you say show?
I almost forgot. (chuckles)
- It's a matter of
intergalactic life and death.
- Did you say death?
- Start the show.
- Ah, no!
- Almost there.
Attention friends, it's showtime.
(upbeat horn music)
(excited chattering)
(chuckles)
- Sir, what I have to tell you
is really important honest.
See, there's this incredibly
powerful Dr. Zoetrope--
- Forget it, kid, it's showtime.
The old coot won't hear a word
until all this shiny happy crap is over.
- Uh, just a suggestion, uh,
maybe you're due for an attitude tuneup.
(chuckles)
(yells)
(chain clangs)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, relax.
(upbeat playful music)
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
♫ The happiness and joy world
♫ A toy for every boy and girl
♫ In Toy World
- [Theo] Here we are, I'm, I'm ready here.
Here, let's go.
♫ We are the toys
Where, where are you?
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
♫ The happiness and joy world
♫ The Toy World
- I swear if I have to
listen to this one more time,
I'm gonna explode.
- Really?
Hey, one more time!
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
♫ The happiness and joy world
♫ A toy for every boy and girl
♫ In Toy World
- [Theo] I love this,
oh this is great fun.
Oh good, good, good.
(playful music)
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
♫ The happiness and joy world
♫ Toy World, Toy World
♫ Toy World
(playful instrumental music)
- Come on, don't be shy, my children.
(rhythmic instrumental music)
(Theo mumbles)
- Dance is for wimps.
- (sighs) What a sourpuss.
(playful rhythmic music)
- [Theo] Thank you, my dear.
(upbeat rhythmic dance music)
♫ Yo, yo, yo, Heavy G in the house
♫ Break it down, brother man
(laughs)
(upbeat rhythmic dance music)
- Ah, this.
(rhythmic dance music)
Hello?
Hello?
Hah, they're all dancin'.
(rhythmic music)
- Go on, join the fun.
Go.
(rhythmic music)
- At last, mi amore.
(rhythmic music)
(zooming)
(dramatic music)
- Oh, no!
- Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
(dramatic instrumental music)
Except maybe that toast.
- Who are you?
And what do you want?
- And where'd you get
that awesome hardware?
- I'm here for one reason
and one reason only.
He knows who he is
and I know he's here.
- [Theo] Oh, dear.
- No need to look so hard, Dr. Zoetrope.
I'm right in front of
your time-twisted nose.
- Hello, Joshua.
You know what I want, just
cooperate and hand it over.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Cooperate?
But only if all the toys
are willing to never again
dance in the sunshine!
And if you're willing to kiss goodbye
this beautiful place we call Toy World.
Theo, Theo, Theo,
oh, thanks, Theo.
- You have no idea what
you are saying, young man.
- Oh yes I do.
Unless you toys are with me,
the universe is doomed to destruction
at the hands of this madman.
(tense music)
So what do you say?
Are you ready to join
with me and stop him?
Uh, like I said, are you ready
to stand up for yourselves
and stop this maniac?
(Theo mumbles)
(dramatic music)
Like I said, are you ready
to stand up for yourselves
and stop this maniac?
- [Zoetrope] Oh, give it up, Josh.
- It's no use, Josh.
My children are the same as
I when it comes to violence.
We just say no.
- Hey, speak for yourself, pal.
- Yeah, but this is serious.
- Toys don't fight.
They play.
- Face it, kid, you're outgunned.
- The component, Josh, now.
- No way.
- Then you leave me no choice.
- [Theo] Ooh.
(zinging)
(laughs)
- [Zoetrope] What?
(laughs)
- Your weapons are useless
here, my metallic friend.
- What are you talking
about, you old fool?
- Long ago, I installed an
energy field around Toy World,
a field which disrupts all
offensive armaments of any kind.
This is a happy place, free from violence,
and that's how it shall stay.
- All right,
new game, everyone.
- [Theo] New, new game?
- Keep this glass bone away
from the big, scary looking guy.
What do ya say?
All right.
- Oh, new game!
(laughing)
(playful music)
- Come here, no, no, no, no!
(laughing)
- Here ya go, Mr. Maniac.
- [Zoetrope] Somebody better
give me that Nullifier now!
You don't know who you're playing with.
- Nice going, Josh, nice going!
- I thought so.
- I will crush this old man's head!
(yelling)
Give me my Nullifier now!
Come here!
(yelling)
If I get my hands on you,
you will rue the day
you ever messed with me!
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
(laughing)
Joshua, you have just
signed your death warrant.
- Let's go, let's go!
- [Zoetrope] When I get my hands on you.
- Let's go.
- [Zoetrope] Oh, you leave me no choice.
- Come to Daddy.
(dramatic instrumental music)
Oh no!
- The Nullifier component
is indestructible, Josh.
You however are not.
Tell your childish friends to
give me the component at once
or else.
(dramatic instrumental music)
My stars,
where's your crowd displacement lock?
- You let him go this instant!
(yells)
(gooey splattering)
- (chuckles) This is gettin' really good.
- I'm soaked!
(laughing)
Joshua!
I'm not kidding, Joshua!
(laughing)
(footsteps stomp)
- [Josh] Hey, toss it
over here, you clown!
(playful music)
(laughing)
(slow instrumental music)
When will I learn?
- [Gepetto] Direct drive!
- Hurry up, Gepetto, he's headed this way.
(tense music)
(clicking)
- Joshua, I may not be able to see you,
but I can still hear you,
and I'm coming for you, boy.
(clicking)
(playful music)
I can still hear you, Joshua!
You cannot escape me!
(clicking)
(playful music)
Joshua!
Joshua!
You cannot escape me!
(playful music)
(clicking)
- [Theo] (laughs) Forward, forward!
(laughs) Pretty good.
(playful music)
(swooshes)
- Very well, my little mechanical friends,
how would you like to play a new game?
(toys cheer)
It's an extremely satisfying
activity I like to call
mind slavery of an inferior species.
(toys gasp)
Your puny brains belong to me now.
You will serve my every whim.
- [Toys] Our puny brains
belongs to us now.
We will serve our every whim.
(laughing and cheering)
- My stars, they have no minds to control.
(yelling and clapping)
- Mind slavery sure is a lot of fun!
(laughing and cheering)
- Hey, bud,
you wanna play with these toys,
you talk to me.
- And who are you?
- Action Jack, AKA the one
toy who's a little too human
for his own good.
- I'm listening.
- Your basic toy is a simple creature,
motivated by two things,
the desire to have fun
and the fear of punishment.
- Fear, you say?
- [Jack] I thought that
would get your attention.
- All right, folks,
after a brief consultation
with my associate here,
I have decided there will be
no more games in Toy World.
(groaning)
And there won't be any more
singing or dancing either.
(groaning)
- Oh, nice touch, Doc.
- These new rules will be
in effect forever and a day,
unless,
unless all of you help me capture
that evil non-toy Josh Kirby.
(groaning)
(gasping)
- We're sorry, sir.
We didn't mean to offend you,
but we'll do as you command.
- A wise decision.
But just in case anyone changes
their mind, remember this.
Disassembly is a heartbeat away.
(gasping)
(groaning)
(swooshing)
(gasping)
(groaning)
(dramatic music)
- Attention, friends,
it's showtime!
(zooming)
(Prism chirps)
- We have been searching aimlessly
and we are running out of time.
- Perhaps we might fare better
without this continuous commentary.
- I am simply trying to
ignite a source of heat
beneath your hindquarters.
- What?
- It's just an expression.
- Look,
I am trying every trick
in the time travel book
to locate Josh.
It is mildly embarrassing to
admit that I'm not certain
we could continue to protect the Nullifier
and to defeat Zoetrope
without Josh's assistance.
Besides which,
I've actually grown quite fond of the boy.
- As have I,
and I let him down, I
should've protected him.
- Nonsense!
Josh's disappearance was Zoetrope's doing.
- No, no, do not try and coddle me.
The ninth code of Kang is quite Specific
regarding all failure.
If one snoozes, one loses.
(sad instrumental music)
- Oh, stop this at once!
- To atone for my negligence,
I must perform the
sacred act of repentance.
- Please, child, it's not worth it.
(dramatic music)
(chants in Kangian)
(Prism squeals)
What are you doing?
- The Kangian chant of the forlorn.
(chants in Kangian)
- Let me revise that, my child.
It's really not worth it.
(chants in Kangian)
- [Josh] Hey, this thing actually
gets pretty good mileage.
- [Gepetto] She's one
of a kind, GM original.
Gepetto Motors, that is.
(playful music)
- Look, I enjoy a good getaway
just as much as the next guy,
but Zoetrope won't give up.
He'll be right back on
me and the component
in no time at all.
I've gotta find a way to get
back to the time pod somehow.
- Well, I say we take
care of that big bully
once and for all.
- That certainly would help
return life back to normal,
wouldn't it?
- [Theo] Oh, oh, oh.
- As Mama Gepetto used to say,
"There's no defense like a good offense."
- Wait, Gepetto!
Didn't you say you and the
toys were strictly nonviolent?
- Well, uh,
there's always, uh, shades of gray, Josh.
Like what Annie did back
there in the courtyard.
- Oh, that was nothing,
just icing on the cake.
- Unfortunately, icing
alone won't be enough
to defeat our unwanted visitor.
That's why Josh and I are
going into Nightmare Forest.
- [Annie And Theo] Nightmare Forest!
- Nightmare Forest?
- Now, now, it's the
only place I can possibly
cook up something to deal
with this Dr. Zoetrope.
And after, we'll take care of him.
Perhaps, we can get you
back to this time pod
you keep talking about.
(sad instrumental music)
- Annie.
Hey, Annie.
(sad instrumental music)
Hey, Annie.
- Hello.
- Um, back there on the courtyard,
well, you probably saved my life.
- I had to.
You were in danger and I care about you.
- Well that's a very non-toy thing to say.
Look, whatever Gepetto's got up his sleeve
in this nightmare place,
I'm sure it'll work out.
- But I won't be with you.
Toys can't enter Nightmare Forest.
- Well, I'll come back, I promise.
And then, then we can
have some tea together.
At least by then my clothes will be dry.
- Can't you just move into
the gingerbread house with us
and live happily ever after?
- Well, I'd like that a lot, Annie,
but there's a time-displaced
universe in jeopardy
and it's gotta be saved.
- Growl!
(playful music)
Here.
- Oh, good idea.
In case you two get lost,
just leave a trail of these
nuts and bolts behind you
and that way you'll be
able to find your way back
to Toy World.
- [Theo] Mm-hmm.
- Thanks a lot, Theo.
Where'd you get these anyway?
- Oh.
- I'm ready!
(thuds)
- Oh, oh, nevermind.
- Well, goodbye, my friend.
(rumbling)
(slow dramatic music)
- We'll have to make the
rest of our journey on foot.
Nightmare Forest is too dense
for four-wheel transport.
- [Josh] Nightmare Forest, huh?
How'd it get the name?
- Several reasons,
actually, here's one of them.
- Ugh, it's pretty gruesome.
- Super Ninja model, 323,
advanced hi-yah action.
- You know, this place
gives me the creeps.
- Ah, Johnny Command play set,
early model, prior to self-relubrication.
(slow dramatic music)
- You're gonna build a toy
to battle Dr. Zoetrope,
aren't you?
- In a manner of speaking.
- Oh, excellent!
I mean, with all this
stuff, we're halfway there.
Oh, check this baby out.
The Zapazoid BFG-9,000.
Way cool, or what?
- Oh, I'm afraid that
thing falls decidedly
in the what category.
We are not here to rearm Toy World.
- But you just that we
were gonna take on Dr. Z
with some totally cool,
psycho-mutant power toy, right?
- I said nothing of the sort.
There's more than one way
to, uh, skin a scoundrel,
young boy,
and my way does not include a Zapazoid.
- Gepetto,
your weapon disrupter shield
may have put the kibosh
on Zoetrope's blaster,
but he's the most brilliant
man in the 25th century.
He's got about a million other tricks
up his time-armored sleeve
and the brain to use 'em.
How are you gonna beat all that?
- I'm sure I'll think of something,
something nonviolent.
- Come on, Gepetto.
What's wrong with a little
fight fire with fire?
The universe is at stake here,
and we've gotta fight
for what we believe in.
(slow tense music)
- [Gepetto] Fire with fire, you say?
- You bet.
It's our duty to fight the good fight.
- Where do you think you are, Josh?
What do you think this
Nightmare Forest is?
It's a graveyard,
one of thousands just like it.
When there weren't enough
people left to fight each other,
they built attack bots to finish the job,
except they built them
too well, I'm afraid.
And when the robots were
done with the humans,
they went after each other.
- What about you?
- Me?
Uh, I was, uh, fortunate you might say.
I built the most vicious killer toys
on the face of the earth.
It's true.
Do you know what I felt
when my mechanical army
had conquered the land
and I was the only non-toy left?
Victorious?
Triumphant?
Because I had fought the good fight?
No.
I felt lonely,
incredibly, horribly lonely.
That's why I changed my ways, Josh,
and changed all the toys
into the fun-loving creatures
you see today.
Ultimately, war achieves nothing.
Never has, never will.
- Yeah.
You're right, I don't need this thing.
(boings)
(laughs)
You know, I do think, though,
there are some things worth fighting for.
Like the Nullifier.
I've gotta do everything I can
to keep those components
from being put together.
I've got to!
- Well then perhaps we should
each pursue our own method
of defeating Dr. Zoetrope, huh?
- Yeah, yeah, maybe.
Look, you go, you go follow your plan,
and I'll try and figure out my plan.
- Sounds like a good plan.
(birds hoot and chirp)
(laughing)
- Let's get going, you
lazy toys and animals.
Move it, move it!
Come on, let's take up the slack.
Let's get moving, you lazy toys!
(yells)
(whip snaps)
Rollin', rollin', rollin',
let's keep those toys a rollin'!
Come on, let's move that wagon, boys!
Let's go, ah!
(whip snaps)
Think of this as an
exercise in discipline,
my erstwhile equals.
You get to exercise, I get to discipline.
Hah!
(laughs)
(whip snaps)
- Let's see what this primitive inventor
has to offer the greatest
intellect of the 25th century.
Hmm.
Possibly useful.
A remote hologram projection device
with a bizarre voice activated code.
Crystal, crystal in my claw,
where's the one I'm searching for?
(tense instrumental music)
Crystal, I think we'll
widen out for a full shot.
(tense instrumental music)
Action Jack, adjust course
to the following coordinates.
(birds chirp)
- Ah.
Boy, a pink egg.
(chuckles)
That's something you don't see every day.
(yells)
(playful music)
(chuckles)
That was a close one.
- [Theo] What?
(Yells)
(groans)
- Don't ever sneak up
on me like that again!
- I'm sorry, I was just, uh--
- Look what you made me do!
You think it's easy climbing
trees to get all these eggs?
Say,
do you realize where you are?
This is rather brave of
you to venture this close
in Nightmare Forest.
- I thought perhaps I could help.
- Oh, you did?
Well that's wonderful, Theo.
And it is brave, too.
Come on, you can help me.
We've got to stand by our friends,
even if it's difficult or scary or.
- Or we have to fight?
- Yes, sometimes we even have to fight.
I don't like it,
but I know it's what we have to do
when faced with evil.
(gentle chiming music)
(Theo softly talks)
(playful music)
(clicking)
(playful music)
- [Theo] Mmm.
(thuds)
(groans)
- It slipped.
Sorry.
Hey, you're not eating
that stuff, are you?
- Uh, no, mm-mm.
- Come over here and give me a hand.
(playful music)
- [Theo] What, what?
- Push down on this spring here.
(playful music)
- Oh, oh.
(thuds)
(yells)
(groans)
Uh-oh.
(groans)
I'm sorry, I forgot we were--
- Um, look, uh, maybe you
should go and help Josh, huh?
- But I wanted to help you.
- Well, you'll be helping
me by helping Josh.
He went that way.
(footsteps crunch)
(birds chirp)
(Prism squeals)
- Prism,
Prism, get ahold of yourself.
What's a matter, you're
having an allergic reaction
or something?
(Azabeth chants)
You are,
you are having an allergic
reaction to the vibrations
of Azabeth's chanting.
(chanting)
Doesn't one of the 21 codes
mention something about
enough is enough?
- Of course not.
Kang never would have endorsed
such a weakness of spirit.
(chanting)
Although,
it may have been referred
to in the 13th code.
- May have?
- We can never know, for number
13 is the lost code of Kang.
(chanting in Kangian)
(groans)
(chanting)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Oh, this is great.
Gepetto tells me there's
an old shortwave radio
back at his tower in Toy World,
and I figure maybe I can
use it to communicate
with the time pod, but, no,
instead I get lost and have
no idea as to where I'm going.
There's got to be some way
out of this crazy place.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(crunching)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(thuds)
- Mmm, scrumptious.
I would prefer a touch more rust,
but uninvited guests
shouldn't make much fuss.
- G-G-Go ahead, y-you might as
well have the rest of these.
(yells)
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are done.
Now it's time for riddle fun.
(tense music)
Answer right, you'll learn the score.
Answer wrong, you'll be no more.
- [Josh] What's the question?
- How do you think one
would get to Toy World
without the proper attire?
- Well, I, uh.
- Answer!
- Okay, okay, just a
second, I, I know this one.
It's easy really.
How does one get to Toy World?
Oh, yeah, yeah, there's no doubt about it.
It's to run!
(exciting dramatic music)
(laughing)
(groans)
(thuds)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Not bad, young friend,
but you know the refrain,
without pain there is no gain.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Well isn't there some
way we can talk this out?
- Another riddle, you want?
Until I shall rhyme,
who would you wager is a warrior of time?
- Warrior of time,
let's see, uh, Zoetrope?
- (laughs) Sorry, strike one.
- Then it's gotta be Irwin, right?
Yeah, Iriwn 1138.
- (laughs) Nice try, strike two!
- But there's no one else!
(yells)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- (laughs) Time's up, little pup!
- Just a second, okay?
(yells)
(dramatic music)
Whoa, whoa, don't I get one more strike?
- Ah, shall I truly be
forced to follow this course?
- Yes, a final request for the condemned
is absolutely mandatory.
Whoa.
- Last chance, young friend.
So do we attend,
the one who is a warrior of time
is the same one who
arrived improperly attired,
and he's staring into your eyes right now.
- Yeah, but there's no one else here!
Except you and,
(dramatic music)
and me.
(zapping)
(groans)
- Good guess.
(dramatic music)
- How did you get there?
- Josh, I've told you before.
The universe is in peril and
I must do all that is possible
to save it.
- Save it?
Oh, jeez, first Mr. Troll and now you?
Except Mr. Troll kind of went to pieces.
- His job was done.
He gave what you asked for.
- Excuse me?
I asked for that?
A near death experience?
- Your clue, remember?
Evidently Nightmare Forest
saw fit to send you one,
albeit unconventionally.
- Oh okay,
so I'm some kind of warrior
who doesn't know how to dress?
Oh, now I understand everything.
- Joshua, don't you wonder
how you can still exist
without your CDL bracelet?
(tense music)
- Yeah, every now and then.
- It's impossible for you
to be here without one.
I believe that's the proper attire
your frightful friend was referring to.
- Yeah, but if it's impossible?
- How can you still exist?
There's only one possible answer,
however improbable it may be,
and that answer saved
your neck a minute ago.
- What are you saying?
- You, Josh Kirby,
you are a time warrior.
- Oh, a time warrior, oh.
- One in a billion,
young Kirby, that's you.
A mere mortal with the awesome ability
to traverse the time stream with ease,
even bend it at your own will.
A gladiator whose arena is
the temporal web itself.
Unlike the other 999,999,999 of us,
the molecules of your body
are not time specific.
Therefore, unlimited in their
movement across the length
and breadth of the time stream.
It's quite remarkable, isn't it?
What's even more remarkable
is why nature would choose you
to bestow such a profound
a natural gift upon.
That one really escapes me.
Perhaps,
it's connected to a
pathetically high quotient
of temporal immaturity.
Your temporal senses are so undeveloped
that they can fit in anywhere.
- Then that's how I transported
myself out of limbo.
And that means I can zap
myself to the time pod
any time I want, right?
- Unfortunately, Josh,
although you do seem
to possess the powers to utterly
control the forces of time,
they are subject to certain limitations.
- Such as?
- It's quite complicated.
It has do to with
chrono-quantum recharging,
but those are limits you're
going to have to discover
on your own,
kind of like a babe learning
to walk for the first time.
You see, even a time warrior
whose powers are checked and balanced
by the higher laws of the universe
is a very powerful being indeed.
That is why I'm offering you a deal.
- You are?
- Equal partnership.
With my intellect and
your mastery of time,
we can reassemble the Nullifier posthaste.
(dramatic music)
- Do you really believe I would
help you destroy everything
that ever was, is, and will be?
If you do, you're not as
smart as you think you are.
- That old imbecile Irvin 1138
is not trying to save the universe,
he's trying to save his job,
and he will do anything to achieve that.
As long as the Nullifier
component remains inactive,
the Supreme Prefect controls everything
and everyone.
Join me and I'll prove it to you.
I'm offering you a pact of ultimate power.
(tense music)
- Ah, what the heck?
Maybe you're right, I mean,
we could be some team.
- I can see it now.
Zoetrope and Kirby.
- Oh, really?
Well don't you think, uh,
Kirby and Zoetrope kind of
has a better ring to it?
- No.
- Well, I guess I might
just have to reconsider.
(dramatic music)
- Well does that mean the deal's off?
Pity, but a refusal was
not entirely unexpected,
as you can see.
- No, wait, Dr. Zoetrope, I can't hang on!
(groans)
(dramatic music)
- I really wish I could help you, Joshua,
but as you probably figured out by now,
I'm just a holographic image.
- Oh, oh, this is bad.
(groans)
And this is worse.
(dramatic music)
All right, I've gotta do something.
I'm a time warrior, right?
Right, I, I hereby summon my powers to
transport me to the time pod.
(tense music)
Okay, okay, maybe Zoetrope was wrong.
Maybe I'm not a time anything.
Maybe I'm just plain old Josh Kirby
about to meet his maker.
Oh!
(dramatic instrumental music)
If there's some way out of here,
anything, somebody please show it to me.
- I say, old bean, are you
down there for the view?
- What?
The view sucks!
Help me out!
(exciting music)
(groans)
Solid ground,
I'll never leave you again.
Thanks a million, Theo.
But, I thought Annie
said toys couldn't enter
Nightmare Forest.
- I was just too hungry to keep up.
(bells jingle)
Hey, what's that?
- I don't know, it
sounds like sleigh bells.
(bells jingle)
- [Jack] Push, you
weak-kneed little sissies!
I'll whip the stuffing out of ya!
Ha! (laughs)
(whip snaps)
(dramatic music)
- Zoetrope.
You know the way back to Toy World, right?
- Like the back of my paw, mate.
Oh, let's hustle!
(dramatic instrumental music)
(footsteps thud)
(dramatic music)
- He's gone.
No sign of a body,
no sign of the Nullifier
component, nothing.
- Hey, Doc, (chuckles) nothing
escapes my new and improved
plastic tracking ability.
They are headed back to Toy World.
- Blast it!
I cannot allow Josh to escape
with the Nullifier component again.
- This Josh Kirby, this
non-toy, is our friend.
He only wants to get back
home to where he belongs.
It's that nasty maniac, Dr. Zoetrope,
who's been causing all the problems.
He's the one we have to watch out for.
And furthermore,
(exciting music)
oh, Josh, my darling!
You've come back to me!
Oh, I've played this moment
in my mind a thousand times,
wondering what to say, how
to express my feelings,
and now that you're here it's so obvious
there is but one true
message for me to give
from my heart to yours,
you look awful.
- Annie.
- And you're kinda smelly.
- Look, Annie, we don't have much time.
Zoetrope will find us soon,
so show me to Gepetto's tower, quick!
(playful upbeat music)
An old shortwave radio,
there's got to be one
around here somewhere.
(clattering)
(playful music)
- I say, old chap, you
mean this old thing?
- Way to go, Theo!
Oh, no,
I should've known.
What else would I find in Toy World?
- Oh, don't be blue, Josh.
This isn't the non-toy
I've grown so fond of
in so short a time.
The Josh Kirby I've come to
know is a scrappy non-toy
who doesn't give up no
matter what the odds.
- Darn straight.
You're right, Annie.
Nobody's gonna laugh at Josh Kirby
for giving up without a fight.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Oh, I've missed you too, Josh,
but don't you think we should dance later?
- Gepetto would never say
he had a shortwave radio
and mean a toy one,
so there's got to be a real one somewhere.
(playful rhythmic music)
(Theo mumbles)
(playful rhythmic music)
- Does it look like this?
(playful rhythmic music)
- Oh!
Oh, Annie, you're beautiful!
(bells jingle)
(sighs)
- What's that sound.
(whip snaps)
(bells jingle)
- Trouble.
(toys groan)
(dramatic music)
- [Jack] Whoa!
(toys groan)
(sad music)
Fall in!
- I can't say much for
your troops, Sergeant Jack.
I'll take over from here.
- Ah, give me a chance, my liege.
All this lily-livered bunch needs
is a little helping hand,
a little incentive,
(groaning)
(squeaks)
a little organization.
Now you toys on my left,
you're Infantry A, battering ram division.
All you toys on my
right, you're Infantry B,
ladder squad.
- Pardon me, sir,
but we haven't a
battering ram or a ladder.
(toys groan)
- Why don't you let me worry about that?
(tense music)
(toys groan)
(playful fast music)
- Theo, organize all the toys
and get 'em to lock all the buildings.
- Aye aye, Captain Josh.
(playful fast music)
- Here goes something.
Attention, attention,
this is Josh Kirby calling the time pod.
Come in, time pod
(static hums)
(yells)
(thuds)
- Looks like Chuckles is
all through chuckling.
(laughs)
(thuds)
- Repeat, this is Josh Kirby.
(static hums)
Come in, time pod.
(yelling)
(gasps)
- Holy Gepetto, this is terrible!
(clattering)
(yelling)
Poor Chuckles!
(yelling)
(dramatic music)
(whizzes)
Yeah!
Eat sugar, punk!
- Mayday, mayday, this
is a time stream SOS
for Irwin, Azabeth, and
Prism in the time pod.
Can you hear me, time pod?
Please respond!
(static hums)
(chanting)
(rumbling)
(sighs)
- I'm afraid it's no use.
(chanting)
I said I'm afraid it's no use.
(chanting)
I said!
(chanting)
(sighs)
I'm afraid the time may
have come for us to continue
the Nullifier quest without Josh Kirby.
(chanting)
(rumbling)
(dramatic music)
- Come on, get on with it.
- Yes, sir!
All right, troops, this way, come on.
Let's go, let's go.
(dramatic music)
(soft chattering)
- All right, Irwin, Azabeth, Prism,
I know you're out there so answer.
I've got another Nullifier component.
I need you.
The universe needs you!
(clattering)
Oh no.
(tense music)
(static scratches)
Nothing.
(playful dramatic music)
I've been stuck in this
cockamamie Toy World all day
and it's been the worst
12 hours of my life!
- [Annie] 11 hours, 59 minutes,
and 35 seconds, to be exact.
- Really?
(playful dramatic music)
- We toys wind up, run
on batteries, springs,
we have an excellent sense of time.
- Look, Annie, I, uh,
I didn't mean what I said.
I-I-I just got frustrated.
I'm just.
(cuckoo clock chimes)
- 12 hours, Josh.
(beeps)
(zinging)
- Annie!
Annie, it's working!
- Josh, what's happening?
- What did Zoetrope say?
Quantum, quantum recharging?
(beeps)
Yeah, it's been exactly 12 hours
since I used my powers to
zap myself out of limbo!
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
Annie, I need to get outside and higher.
This signal's not strong enough!
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
(soft chattering)
- What are you up to, young Kirby?
(dramatic music)
- Yes!
- Lieutenant Jack, on the roof!
Primary target sighted!
(dramatic music)
- Infantry B!
Routine 64, now!
Come on, you three,
you've just been drafted.
In we go.
Let's get to work!
(claps)
(chattering)
(dramatic music)
Pick up the pace, ya lazy muffin heads.
This ain't no picnic.
(chattering)
(dramatic music)
(beeping)
- All right.
This is Josh Kirby, time warrior,
calling the time pod.
Do you hear me?
(static zings and beeps)
I've got another component.
Please, answer me!
- Come on, get up there before
I dismantle every one of you.
Get up there!
- How about some dessert?
(gooey plopping)
(playful music)
(laughing)
(playful music)
(beeping)
- We're holdin' off the
forces of evil here,
but we need some serious backup.
Josh to the time pod!
You've gotta come through for me!
(chanting)
- Booster rockets primed,
chrono circuits set.
(beeping)
(chanting)
(beeping)
- Hello?
Can you hear me out there?
(beeping)
- [Irwin] Will engage in 30 seconds.
Prepare for the storm.
- Irwin.
(beeping)
(tense music)
All right, it's now or never, folks.
Let's see what this time
warrior stuff is all about.
Come in time pod!
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
Cool.
- It's true.
He is a time warrior.
- [Josh] Hello?
Come in time pod.
(chanting)
- Wait a minute.
- What is it?
- [Azabeth] Who turned down the radio?
- Time pod doesn't have a
(beeping)
radio.
- [Josh] Hello, hello!
Josh to time pod, please answer!
- Josh Kirby!
- Astounding.
Let me try and locate the source.
Prism, Prism, assist me, quickly!
(dramatic music)
- Enough of this spectacle.
(thuds)
(yells)
- Josh!
- [Theo] Are you all right?
- Thanks a lot, Theo, sorry about that.
- There, there.
(toys chatter)
- No.
- Josh, hand me the Nullifier component.
- Never!
- I'll get it for you myself, sir liege.
(zinging)
(toys gasp and cheer)
- Come on, guys.
(toys chatter)
- [Zoetrope] Blast.
- All right!
- [Irwin] Josh, Josh, are you all right?
- Never better, Irwin old pal.
Looks like you came right in time.
- Hey, infantry, let's
attack this alien spaceship!
Let's go, let's go!
- What if we don't want to?
- Excuse me?
- Maybe we're tired of being your slaves.
(soft chattering)
- Do you have anything better to do?
(playful music)
- [Chuckles] Why, yes, I think we do.
(playful music)
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
- Oh, my, no!
♫ Happiness and joy world
- Yes!
♫ A toy for every boy and girl
♫ In Toy World
(playful music)
(toys laugh)
(Prism mumbles)
- I fail to grasp the
meaning of this ritual.
- Catchy tune though.
♫ Happiness and joy world
♫ Toy World, Toy World
♫ Toy World
(playful upbeat music)
- Ah, I can't take it anymore!
(thuds)
- Oh!
Oh, nice right hook!
I mean paw.
- Give me five.
- [Annie] Josh, help me!
- Turn off that music and
give me the Nullifier, Josh,
or this raggedy Annie
gets a lot raggedier.
(playful music)
- Yeah, turn off the music.
(music screeches)
(toys groan)
- The Nullifier, Josh,
before I am forced to
do something irreparable
to this lovely toy.
(dramatic music)
(clicking)
(clattering)
- Gepetto!
(exciting music)
- Release that toy this
instant, you brute.
- Nice bluff, toy maker.
Too bad we both know
those weapons are useless
under your energy field.
- But they're not weapons,
at least not in the conventional sense.
(dramatic music)
Bombs away!
(toys cheer)
- [Zoetrope] What's going on here?
(playful music)
(toys cheer)
The next one that hits me!
- Come on, get up and fight like toys!
(playful music)
(toys cheer)
- Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
(playful music)
I'm coming for your first, pinhead.
(playful music)
(yelling and cheering)
Stop it!
Desist this this minute!
This is gonna block my engines!
Stop it!
Josh Kirby, Josh Kirby!
Stop this madness now!
Will this do, Josh Kirby?
You haven't seen the last of me.
I swear it!
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
(toys cheer and laugh)
(playful music)
- Uh-oh.
(playful music)
(toys laugh and cheer)
(laughs)
(gooey splattering)
(playful music)
(laughing)
Perhaps the same sort of
allergic reaction Prism had
has affected this time and place.
- Possibly.
- [Rabbit] I'm gonna get you.
(laughing)
(playful music)
(laughing)
- And in recognition of
countless acts of valor,
executed in the name of friendship,
I hereby declare you honorary toy.
(cheering)
(Jack groans)
- Thanks a lot, Gepetto.
Oh and try and cheer up, will ya?
(laughs)
(gentle music)
You take care of yourself, Theo.
- Cheerio, dear boy.
(gentle music)
- I'm gonna miss you most of all, Annie.
- Oh, Josh, you're the only
non-toy I've ever loved.
(gentle music)
- I think it's high time we departed.
Don't you?
- Let's hear it, toys!
(cheering)
- Thanks a lot, everyone.
Toy World's been, well, different.
(cheering)
I'd love to stay, everyone,
but there are three more
of these deadly components
to hunt down.
(exciting music)
- That is absolutely correct,
and it is time for a reality check.
Let's get a move on.
- Nice to see you again, Azabeth.
(exciting music)
Bye, everyone!
(exciting music)
(toys cheer)
- [Toy] Bye.
- Bye.
(exciting music)
(swooshing)
- A time warrior, are you certain?
- That's what it looks like.
I mean, it's not like I'm
suddenly warlike or anything,
but sending that radio
message felt pretty cool.
- A just and noble warrior
always is cool headed,
but in keeping with
the fifth code of Kang,
those who abandon the truth once
may never find it again.
Therefore, I must inform you that it was
the telekinetic astral projections
of my tech-warrior consciousness
generated by the Kangian
chant of the forlorn
that reached out across the time stream
and enabled you to contact us.
- What?
You, you've gotta be kidding.
I mean, I fought a desperate
fight against all odds
to come up with some sort
of communications device
that my one in a billion time
warrior powers could work on.
And you're telling me--
- Would you two modulate your intercourse?
If Josh is right,
his newfound powers might
prove invaluable to me,
uh, I mean, us.
- Yeah, yeah, wouldn't that be cool?
If I could walk up to
the time pod view window
and look out and close my eyes
and concentrate for a second,
and then be able to open them and say,
hey, Dr. Zoetrope's after us!
- Huh, I suppose that
would be a useful talent.
- Then consider this a free preview,
'cause Zoetrope really is after us.
(booming)
- Commission the fissures to action!
(zooming)
Hang on everybody!
(zooming)
(dramatic music)
Fear not, I think I've located
a time stream escape route.
Look, it's even locked for us.
- Step on it, Irwin.
Turn the pod around.
- What?
Zoetrope's right behind us.
- Irwin, turn it around!
(rumbling)
(whistle blows)
- Just because you're a time warrior,
doesn't mean to say you know more
about temporal navigation than I
do!
(dramatic music)
We're not turning!
- What are you waiting for?
Go ahead and use one of
your one in a billion
time warrior powers and save us!
(dramatic music)
- Look, there's something
about chrono-quantum recharging
and a time limit.
- Oh, well, I might have known.
As the 15th code of Kang clearly states,
if you lay claim to a title,
be prepared to defend it at
any hour of the day or night.
(dramatic music)
- Sorry.
(train rumbles)
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] On the next chapter
of Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(zooming)
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
- [Azabeth] They're everywhere!
- Hey, what are we gonna do?
- I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
- Well think harder, we're in trouble!
(groans)
- No!
(zooming)
- My beautiful time pod ruined.
- You mean we're stuck here?
(dramatic music)
Azabeth, who's this clown?
- This is Akira Storm, the
keeper of the 21 codes of Kang.
- Take them away.
- Akira!
- But you simply have
to get us out of here.
- I'll see what I can do.
(booming)
- Dreadnaught, the enslaver and his forces
had us under constant siege.
(booming)
- You know what I want.
The enslavement of your
entire planet. (laughs)
(yelling)
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
- I cannot stand idly by
as my friends rot away
in some jail cell!
You must release them.
(yelling)
(groans)
It is a fight to the death.
(yelling)
(clanging)
- [Josh] Fight to the death?
(yelling)
(clanging)
You can't do it!
(yells)
(groans)
(thuds)
(dramatic music)
(yells)
(clanging)
- [Azabeth] I hope Josh
Kirby knows what he's doing.
(booming)
- I doubt very much that
he knows what he's doing,
but he has a plan nonetheless.
- Scram!
(dramatic music)
- You realize if you fail,
you're sending our last means of escape
right into enemy hands?
- Run!
(dramatic music)
- Relax, pal, I'm a time warrior.
(exciting music)
(MultiCom Jingle)
(exciting music)
(booming)
(clock ticks)
- My name is Josh Kirby.
I was just your average ninth grader.
My biggest problem was
getting good grades,
and my idea of excitement
was racing my bicycle.
(bell rings)
Yes!
I never thought time
would catch up with me,
but I couldn't have imagined
that hundreds of years from now
mankind would invent the Nullifier,
a device capable of controlling
or destroying the universe.
- [Irwin] Prepare for the storm.
- [Josh's Voiceover] A
scientist named Irwin 1138
tried to disassemble
and hide the Nullifier,
but even he couldn't stop.
- [Irwin] Dr. Zoetrope!
(zinging)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Give me the Nullifier.
- You're too late, Zoetrope.
- It's never too late for me.
(zooming)
- Irwin and Zoetrope
have been chasing each other
across the time stream,
trying to be the first to
find the Nullifier's pieces.
This time they're gonna land in 1995.
The place, my front yard.
Now I'm going along for
the ride of all time.
(zooming)
What's goin' on, where are we?
- I hope you're prepared
to do battle, young man.
This will be a war through time,
and Dr. Zoetrope will take no prisoners.
(booming)
(exciting instrumental music)
- [Josh] But we've got
help from a warrior.
- My name is Azabeth Siege.
- Oh, she's amazing!
And a magical creature called
Prism to show us the way.
Together, we're on a quest through time,
visiting different worlds to fight
for the Nullifier's pieces.
- I'm obviously in the right
place and the right time.
- Because if Zoetrope ever
assembles the Nullifier,
he'll conquer time itself.
I've gotta try and save the universe.
(exciting instrumental music)
(swords clang)
(exciting instrumental music)
I was just a 14-year-old kid
before my adventure began,
but now I'm Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(upbeat exciting music)
- [Narrator] On the last chapter
of Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(zooming)
- 70,379 AD.
(yells)
- Yeah, what was that thing?
I thought we were still on Earth.
- We are still on Earth, Josh,
but the Earth of the far future.
(yelling)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Come on, you big bully,
catch me if you can!
- Listen to me, boy,
there are forces at work here
which you cannot understand.
- Well, come along you two.
Time is one thing we
can't afford to waste.
(zinging)
- Prism, don't touch that button!
I don't believe it!
Prism's gone rogue!
(tense instrumental music)
- Help!
Help!
- Josh Kirby!
Hold on, Josh Kirby!
(Josh yells)
(booming)
(yelling)
(slow tense music)
(yelling)
(swooshing)
(laughing)
(yelling)
(groaning)
- Ow, serious near head injury.
It's definitely better than hyper-time
with a toy box soundtrack.
(sighs)
Ow.
(tense tinkling music)
- [Man] Growl!
(tense tinkling music)
- Yeah, probably just the wind.
(tinkling)
Yeah, yeah, or else I'm hearing things.
Hey, wouldn't be surprised
with the number of head
shots I've taken today.
(slow tinkling music)
♫ Dancing in the forest

- Uh, hello?
- [Doll] Hello.
- Who's there?
- [Doll] Who's there?
- No, wait, I just saw you.
- [Doll] I just saw you.
- [Josh] Now this place is really weird.
- [Doll] Maybe you're weird.
- Excuse me?
- [Doll] Excuse me?
- Now, look, my name's Josh,
and I'm afraid I'm lost.
- Don't be afraid, Josh.
- Hi.
Well, I, I-I didn't really
mean that I was afraid.
You know, not of you anyway.
- Well, maybe you should be.
(laughing)
(playful music)
- What the heck did you do that for?
- Because it's funny, why else?
- Well, I don't know, maybe you're nuts!
- Oh, sticks and stones, moans and groans.
Call me Annie and hold still.
Can't be too careful these days.
Cooties, ya know.
I mean, I've had my
shots, but what about you?
I don't know your assembly
date, your batch number,
your power supply.
These are important considerations
for a modern-day doll.
- My batch number?
- Oh, please, you think
you can just waltz in here
like some kind of studly action figure,
chase me around my own house,
and then pull the blank-face routine?
Come on, Josh.
I mean, sure, you're cute, darn cute,
but you're only,
(twinkling music)
(gasps)
oh, you're a non.
- A non?
- Non-toy.
- And what's that make you?
- [Annie] Unzip me.
- What?
- Just do it and you'll see.
- All right, if you insist.
- Lower.
(zipping)
(exciting music)
(beeping)
- Holy smokes, you mean you're a?
- That's right.
- You're a living doll!
- Oh, why thank you, Josh.
(giggles)
- [Josh] Oh, uh, Annie, listen,
I'm kind of confused right now,
so if you could clue me in--
- Just think, a non-toy here with me.
Oh, I'm so excited I could rip a stitch!
- How about we start with where we are?
What do you call this place?
- Lookout behind you.
- Look outta what?
- Growl!
(yells)
- Boys will be boys,
and bears'll be bears.
Josh meet Theo.
- Get off me!
(growls)
- He likes to play.
- Hi, Theo.
You know, I don't really think ambushing
a poor, defenseless kid
exactly counts as play.
- Well he's a hungry bear.
Maybe he thought you'd be good to eat.
- Toys don't eat.
- Well, obviously you're not up
on the latest toy technology.
Show him, Theo.
(mumbling)
(playful music)
- This Teddy's a treat, he can really eat.
(Theo mumbles)
Oh boy, this place is really weird.
- No it's not, you silly, it's Toy World.
(giggles)
(zooming)
- [Irwin] Thank goodness
you're back, Prism.
Come on, you can do it, little friend.
- Does he have it?
Has he found the position for Josh Kirby?
- Not possible.
The mysterious depths of
Prism's tracking powers
still have to be fully fathomed.
- We must succeed, we must!
- I understand, young lady,
but you must realize the
difficulty of our task.
The odds of our stumbling upon poor Josh
among the eons of hyper-time
are precisely one in 5,487,600--
- Yes, yes, I understand.
- And three.
(Prism chirps)
And then, of course, there's
still Dr. Zoetrope 366.
There is the off chance that
Zoetrope's slightly superior
intellect may enhance his ability
to pinpoint Josh's location.
- Oh, then what you are
saying is hardly encouraging.
- Perhaps, but we do have one advantage,
the unparalleled and infallible technology
of my time pod's instrumentation.
All invented by myself, of course,
which will undoubtedly
lead us to Josh first
and prove once and for all
that I am more than Zoetrope's equal.
(zinging)
(alarm beeps)
What?
- Well, is this the
unparalleled or infallible part?
- But,
(beeping)
my electronic circuits.
- As the fourth code of Kang states,
that which is unparalleled
cannot be infallible.
(alarm beeps)
(giggling)
- [Josh] Uh, how long
til my clothes are dry?
- Oh, not long, should
be right this afternoon.
- You mean I have to stay
in these clothes all day?
I look like Pinocchio.
(sighs)
What are you doing?
- Orange pekoe, quite refreshing.
(Theo mumbles)
- It's all this guy Zoetrope's fault.
A real evil genius, you know?
Determined to twist time around
his little demented finger.
He also destroyed my CBL bracelet,
which means I should
still be in limbo land,
but that's another story.
- Sounds serious.
- Yeah, no kidding.
I've gotta get back to the time pod,
so my friends and I can stop him,
(playful music)
put everything back to normal.
- One lump of sugar or two?
- The entire universe is in peril,
and all you can do is drink pretend tea?
Hello!
Have you heard a word I've said?
- Every word, Josh.
You're obviously a raving lunatic non-toy
who should be rushed
to Gepetto immediately.
- Who's Gepetto?
- Oh.
- Why, he who builds all toys, of course!
The merry maker, the top
tinker, the clever creator--
- Yeah, I got it.
- And he's the only non-toy in Toy World,
except for you.
- Yeah, maybe he can help me.
- He can do anything.
- All right, let's go meet this Gepetto.
We haven't got much time.
- But you haven't touched your tea.
- I know that, Annie.
I'm just waiting for it to cool.
In the meantime,
I have something to tell you both,
something a little scary,
make that very scary.
You see, Dr. Zoetrope is also a toy maker,
and right now he's searching
for the parts to a toy bomb
that could easily destroy all of Toy World
and the toy universe.
It's called the Nullifier.
A brilliant scientist named Irwin 1138
tried to disassemble and hide
all of the six Nullifier pieces.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Prepare for the storm.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Josh] Irwin 1138's plan
was to scatter the pieces all across time.
(swooshing)
(beeps)
(ringing)
(slow dramatic music)
(beeps)
(swooshing)
(dramatic music)
- Next.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeps)
(dramatic instrumental music)
Next.
(swooshing)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(beeping)
(swooshing)
We need another 93 seconds.
Seal the door.
- [Josh] Dr. Zoetrope, an
even more brilliant scientist,
has been doing everything in his power
to reassemble the Nullifier pieces
and destroy the universe.
(exciting instrumental music)
(popping)
(yelling)
- [Irwin] Quick,
load the final component!
- [Man] Let's go.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(thuds)
(yelling)
Let's go!
- [Irwin] Dr. Zoetrope!
(zings)
- [Man] Man, run!
(zinging)
Go!
(zooming)
(beeps)
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
- [Man] Brother!
(zinging)
(groans)
(tense music)
- [Man] I can't hold him off!
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Man] Come on, we gotta get outta here!
This way!
(dramatic instrumental music)
(men yell)
- Irwin, you're a lunatic.
- You're too late, Zoetrope!
- It's never too late for me.
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
(groans)
(footsteps thud)
(dramatic music)
(rapid beeping)
(tense instrumental music)
In the name of all of
creation, twisted old man,
what have you done?
(swooshing)
- And it's my job to keep
it from being put together.
Ah,
so,
don't you think we should be on our way?
- I say, shall we dance?
- Yeah!
- What?
When did he talk?
- [Annie] Since he wanted to dance silly.
(Theo mumbles)
(playful music)
- I can't believe this.
The fate of everything that
ever has been or ever will be
is up for grabs and you guys are dancing!
- Oh, come on, Josh,
lighten up and shake a leg.
(playful music)
(Theo mumbles)
- Just a sec.
(laughing)
Wait a minute!
(laughing)
- What is it?
- It's a piece of the Nullifier.
- How did you know it was there, old man?
- I didn't.
(laughing)
Not really.
It was like, it was like
I was meant to find it.
(laughing)
(swooshing)
(alarm beeps)
- Well, that should do it.
Try it, Prism.
(alarm beeps)
(Prism mumbles)
Excellent!
We're back in business.
(rumbling)
(dramatic music)
- What now?
- Blast!
The gravitational repulsors
are still on the faulty side.
The debris from the time stream
is going to batter us senseless
if we don't get out of here soon.
- No, we cannot leave here
until we locate Josh Kirby.
- Well then we'd better locate him quickly
or it'll be too bad for all of us.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(booming)
- So, what's it like?
- What's what like?
- You know, being non-toy,
truly alive.
- Well, that's a hard one, Annie.
Wouldn't you rather know
about the periodic table
or the Aztecs?
- Idiotic table of spaztecs?
- Nevermind.
Well, I, I guess life is
different for different people.
I mean, everybody wakes up in the morning
and brushes their teeth,
but then there's about a million decisions
that have to be made.
It gets kind of confusing, but
I guess, I guess life's
what you make of it,
as my dad would say
over and over and over.
- Oh, it sounds wonderful.
- It does?
- Well, sure.
I mean, what you're saying is
that non-toys can do anything
if they try hard enough.
Us toys just keep doing the
same things over and over
because it's how we're made.
It's all we know.
After awhile it gets kind of.
- Tiring?
- Exactly.
A modern-day doll needs stimulation,
and I'm just not getting any.
- Well, I don't know, Annie,
you seem pretty full of life to me.
- Hah, I'm just a toy.
Could a real person do this?
(ripping)
(chiming music)
- Uh, yeah, well, you made your point.
- I mean, toys don't
learn, toys don't grow.
We play the same games,
sing the same songs,
and dance the same dances forever.
- Well it's no cakewalk
being human either,
or non-toy, I mean.
There's a lot of problems
you can't even imagine.
- Now you sound like Gepetto.
- Look, all I'm saying is you
toys get to have nonstop fun.
You don't have to worry
about tests or bullies
or the ozone layer.
- What I wouldn't give
for those problems, Josh.
To awaken and face the
challenges of a new day,
to labor for one's dreams,
to achieve one's desires,
to feel the warm touch
of a non-toy caress,
to share with that special someone
a physical and emotional
bond of pure passion,
the power of true love.
- Well, Annie,
I suddenly feel very
thankful for being human.
- I say, Josh old chap, look over here.
- Oh, can we continue
this discussion later?
- Sure, I guess so.
- Okay.
(playful music)
- Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
- Oh, look.
Gepetto's castle.
(magical music)
- Wow, nice place.
- Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
(playful upbeat music)
- So how do we get in there?
- I ask the questions around here.
- Whoa, an egg that talks?
- Eggxactly.
- Okay, what's the question?
- Knock knock.
- Who's there?
- I don't know.
- I don't know.
- I don't know who?
- I don't know who you are,
so you can make an eggxit.
- Oh, come on, Egg, do we have to beg?
- Eggxcruciating, isn't it?
(chuckles) This is Toy World,
remember the yolk's on you.
(upbeat playful music)
- [Theo] Hello, chaps, hello!
- Hi, I'm just visiting.
Hi, I'm a toy-boy, boy-toy,
well, if you wanna get technical about it,
nevermind.
(laughing)
(excited chattering)
- Hey, Theo!
- Give me five, oh!
- Hi!
(playful music)
- [Annie] Hello.
- Hi, I'm from out of town.
Oh, that's a nice beak
you got there.
- Thank you.
- That's nice, that's
nice, hi, nice to see ya,
nice to see ya.
Oh boy, hi, hello.
This is great, this.
(excited chattering)
(gentle music)
Hey!
Hey there!
You must be Gepetto, right?
- Why, yes.
And for some reason I can't imagine,
you're not a toy.
- Well, no, I.
- Not a toy?
(drumming and whistle music)
I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.
(drumming and whistle music)
Request permission to prepare
the interrogation room, sir!
- Oh, Jason, we don't even
have an interrogation room.
- It's Jack, not Jason.
What he meant was,
it's not quite operational yet,
but it could be!
Jack,
Action Jack,
private first class.
(patriotic drumming and whistle music)
(crunching)
(chuckles)
(groans)
Nice to meet ya.
- Yeah, yeah, a real pleasure.
Look, uh,
I need your help.
See, I don't know how I got
here and, uh, I'm kinda scared.
I've gotta get back to my
friends in the time pod,
and you seem to be the
man running the show.
- Did you say show?
I almost forgot. (chuckles)
- It's a matter of
intergalactic life and death.
- Did you say death?
- Start the show.
- Ah, no!
- Almost there.
Attention friends, it's showtime.
(upbeat horn music)
(excited chattering)
(chuckles)
- Sir, what I have to tell you
is really important honest.
See, there's this incredibly
powerful Dr. Zoetrope--
- Forget it, kid, it's showtime.
The old coot won't hear a word
until all this shiny happy crap is over.
- Uh, just a suggestion, uh,
maybe you're due for an attitude tuneup.
(chuckles)
(yells)
(chain clangs)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, relax.
(upbeat playful music)

(playful rhythmic music)
- [Theo] Thank you, my dear.
(upbeat rhythmic dance music)
♫ Yo, yo, yo, Heavy G in the house
♫ Break it down, brother man
(laughs)
(upbeat rhythmic dance music)
- Ah, this.
(rhythmic dance music)
Hello?
Hello?
Hah, they're all dancin'.
(rhythmic music)
- Go on, join the fun.
Go.
(rhythmic music)
- At last, mi amore.
(rhythmic music)
(zooming)
(dramatic music)
- Oh, no!
- Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
(dramatic instrumental music)
Except maybe that toast.
- Who are you?
And what do you want?
- And where'd you get
that awesome hardware?
- I'm here for one reason
and one reason only.
He knows who he is
and I know he's here.
- [Theo] Oh, dear.
- No need to look so hard, Dr. Zoetrope.
I'm right in front of
your time-twisted nose.
- Hello, Joshua.
You know what I want, just
cooperate and hand it over.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Cooperate?
But only if all the toys
are willing to never again
dance in the sunshine!
And if you're willing to kiss goodbye
this beautiful place we call Toy World.
Theo, Theo, Theo,
oh, thanks, Theo.
- You have no idea what
you are saying, young man.
- Oh yes I do.
Unless you toys are with me,
the universe is doomed to destruction
at the hands of this madman.
(tense music)
So what do you say?
Are you ready to join
with me and stop him?
Uh, like I said, are you ready
to stand up for yourselves
and stop this maniac?
(Theo mumbles)
(dramatic music)
Like I said, are you ready
to stand up for yourselves
and stop this maniac?
- [Zoetrope] Oh, give it up, Josh.
- It's no use, Josh.
My children are the same as
I when it comes to violence.
We just say no.
- Hey, speak for yourself, pal.
- Yeah, but this is serious.
- Toys don't fight.
They play.
- Face it, kid, you're outgunned.
- The component, Josh, now.
- No way.
- Then you leave me no choice.
- [Theo] Ooh.
(zinging)
(laughs)
- [Zoetrope] What?
(laughs)
- Your weapons are useless
here, my metallic friend.
- What are you talking
about, you old fool?
- Long ago, I installed an
energy field around Toy World,
a field which disrupts all
offensive armaments of any kind.
This is a happy place, free from violence,
and that's how it shall stay.
- All right,
new game, everyone.
- [Theo] New, new game?
- Keep this glass bone away
from the big, scary looking guy.
What do ya say?
All right.
- Oh, new game!
(laughing)
(playful music)
- Come here, no, no, no, no!
(laughing)
- Here ya go, Mr. Maniac.
- [Zoetrope] Somebody better
give me that Nullifier now!
You don't know who you're playing with.
- Nice going, Josh, nice going!
- I thought so.
- I will crush this old man's head!
(yelling)
Give me my Nullifier now!
Come here!
(yelling)
If I get my hands on you,
you will rue the day
you ever messed with me!
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
(laughing)
Joshua, you have just
signed your death warrant.
- Let's go, let's go!
- [Zoetrope] When I get my hands on you.
- Let's go.
- [Zoetrope] Oh, you leave me no choice.
- Come to Daddy.
(dramatic instrumental music)
Oh no!
- The Nullifier component
is indestructible, Josh.
You however are not.
Tell your childish friends to
give me the component at once
or else.
(dramatic instrumental music)
My stars,
where's your crowd displacement lock?
- You let him go this instant!
(yells)
(gooey splattering)
- (chuckles) This is gettin' really good.
- I'm soaked!
(laughing)
Joshua!
I'm not kidding, Joshua!
(laughing)
(footsteps stomp)
- [Josh] Hey, toss it
over here, you clown!
(playful music)
(laughing)
(slow instrumental music)
When will I learn?
- [Gepetto] Direct drive!
- Hurry up, Gepetto, he's headed this way.
(tense music)
(clicking)
- Joshua, I may not be able to see you,
but I can still hear you,
and I'm coming for you, boy.
(clicking)
(playful music)
I can still hear you, Joshua!
You cannot escape me!
(clicking)
(playful music)
Joshua!
Joshua!
You cannot escape me!
(playful music)
(clicking)
- [Theo] (laughs) Forward, forward!
(laughs) Pretty good.
(playful music)
(swooshes)
- Very well, my little mechanical friends,
how would you like to play a new game?
(toys cheer)
It's an extremely satisfying
activity I like to call
mind slavery of an inferior species.
(toys gasp)
Your puny brains belong to me now.
You will serve my every whim.
- [Toys] Our puny brains
belongs to us now.
We will serve our every whim.
(laughing and cheering)
- My stars, they have no minds to control.
(yelling and clapping)
- Mind slavery sure is a lot of fun!
(laughing and cheering)
- Hey, bud,
you wanna play with these toys,
you talk to me.
- And who are you?
- Action Jack, AKA the one
toy who's a little too human
for his own good.
- I'm listening.
- Your basic toy is a simple creature,
motivated by two things,
the desire to have fun
and the fear of punishment.
- Fear, you say?
- [Jack] I thought that
would get your attention.
- All right, folks,
after a brief consultation
with my associate here,
I have decided there will be
no more games in Toy World.
(groaning)
And there won't be any more
singing or dancing either.
(groaning)
- Oh, nice touch, Doc.
- These new rules will be
in effect forever and a day,
unless,
unless all of you help me capture
that evil non-toy Josh Kirby.
(groaning)
(gasping)
- We're sorry, sir.
We didn't mean to offend you,
but we'll do as you command.
- A wise decision.
But just in case anyone changes
their mind, remember this.
Disassembly is a heartbeat away.
(gasping)
(groaning)
(swooshing)
(gasping)
(groaning)
(dramatic music)
- Attention, friends,
it's showtime!
(zooming)
(Prism chirps)
- We have been searching aimlessly
and we are running out of time.
- Perhaps we might fare better
without this continuous commentary.
- I am simply trying to
ignite a source of heat
beneath your hindquarters.
- What?
- It's just an expression.
- Look,
I am trying every trick
in the time travel book
to locate Josh.
It is mildly embarrassing to
admit that I'm not certain
we could continue to protect the Nullifier
and to defeat Zoetrope
without Josh's assistance.
Besides which,
I've actually grown quite fond of the boy.
- As have I,
and I let him down, I
should've protected him.
- Nonsense!
Josh's disappearance was Zoetrope's doing.
- No, no, do not try and coddle me.
The ninth code of Kang is quite Specific
regarding all failure.
If one snoozes, one loses.
(sad instrumental music)
- Oh, stop this at once!
- To atone for my negligence,
I must perform the
sacred act of repentance.
- Please, child, it's not worth it.
(dramatic music)
(chants in Kangian)
(Prism squeals)
What are you doing?
- The Kangian chant of the forlorn.
(chants in Kangian)
- Let me revise that, my child.
It's really not worth it.
(chants in Kangian)
- [Josh] Hey, this thing actually
gets pretty good mileage.
- [Gepetto] She's one
of a kind, GM original.
Gepetto Motors, that is.
(playful music)
- Look, I enjoy a good getaway
just as much as the next guy,
but Zoetrope won't give up.
He'll be right back on
me and the component
in no time at all.
I've gotta find a way to get
back to the time pod somehow.
- Well, I say we take
care of that big bully
once and for all.
- That certainly would help
return life back to normal,
wouldn't it?
- [Theo] Oh, oh, oh.
- As Mama Gepetto used to say,
"There's no defense like a good offense."
- Wait, Gepetto!
Didn't you say you and the
toys were strictly nonviolent?
- Well, uh,
there's always, uh, shades of gray, Josh.
Like what Annie did back
there in the courtyard.
- Oh, that was nothing,
just icing on the cake.
- Unfortunately, icing
alone won't be enough
to defeat our unwanted visitor.
That's why Josh and I are
going into Nightmare Forest.
- [Annie And Theo] Nightmare Forest!
- Nightmare Forest?
- Now, now, it's the
only place I can possibly
cook up something to deal
with this Dr. Zoetrope.
And after, we'll take care of him.
Perhaps, we can get you
back to this time pod
you keep talking about.
(sad instrumental music)
- Annie.
Hey, Annie.
(sad instrumental music)
Hey, Annie.
- Hello.
- Um, back there on the courtyard,
well, you probably saved my life.
- I had to.
You were in danger and I care about you.
- Well that's a very non-toy thing to say.
Look, whatever Gepetto's got up his sleeve
in this nightmare place,
I'm sure it'll work out.
- But I won't be with you.
Toys can't enter Nightmare Forest.
- Well, I'll come back, I promise.
And then, then we can
have some tea together.
At least by then my clothes will be dry.
- Can't you just move into
the gingerbread house with us
and live happily ever after?
- Well, I'd like that a lot, Annie,
but there's a time-displaced
universe in jeopardy
and it's gotta be saved.
- Growl!
(playful music)
Here.
- Oh, good idea.
In case you two get lost,
just leave a trail of these
nuts and bolts behind you
and that way you'll be
able to find your way back
to Toy World.
- [Theo] Mm-hmm.
- Thanks a lot, Theo.
Where'd you get these anyway?
- Oh.
- I'm ready!
(thuds)
- Oh, oh, nevermind.
- Well, goodbye, my friend.
(rumbling)
(slow dramatic music)
- We'll have to make the
rest of our journey on foot.
Nightmare Forest is too dense
for four-wheel transport.
- [Josh] Nightmare Forest, huh?
How'd it get the name?
- Several reasons,
actually, here's one of them.
- Ugh, it's pretty gruesome.
- Super Ninja model, 323,
advanced hi-yah action.
- You know, this place
gives me the creeps.
- Ah, Johnny Command play set,
early model, prior to self-relubrication.
(slow dramatic music)
- You're gonna build a toy
to battle Dr. Zoetrope,
aren't you?
- In a manner of speaking.
- Oh, excellent!
I mean, with all this
stuff, we're halfway there.
Oh, check this baby out.
The Zapazoid BFG-9,000.
Way cool, or what?
- Oh, I'm afraid that
thing falls decidedly
in the what category.
We are not here to rearm Toy World.
- But you just that we
were gonna take on Dr. Z
with some totally cool,
psycho-mutant power toy, right?
- I said nothing of the sort.
There's more than one way
to, uh, skin a scoundrel,
young boy,
and my way does not include a Zapazoid.
- Gepetto,
your weapon disrupter shield
may have put the kibosh
on Zoetrope's blaster,
but he's the most brilliant
man in the 25th century.
He's got about a million other tricks
up his time-armored sleeve
and the brain to use 'em.
How are you gonna beat all that?
- I'm sure I'll think of something,
something nonviolent.
- Come on, Gepetto.
What's wrong with a little
fight fire with fire?
The universe is at stake here,
and we've gotta fight
for what we believe in.
(slow tense music)
- [Gepetto] Fire with fire, you say?
- You bet.
It's our duty to fight the good fight.
- Where do you think you are, Josh?
What do you think this
Nightmare Forest is?
It's a graveyard,
one of thousands just like it.
When there weren't enough
people left to fight each other,
they built attack bots to finish the job,
except they built them
too well, I'm afraid.
And when the robots were
done with the humans,
they went after each other.
- What about you?
- Me?
Uh, I was, uh, fortunate you might say.
I built the most vicious killer toys
on the face of the earth.
It's true.
Do you know what I felt
when my mechanical army
had conquered the land
and I was the only non-toy left?
Victorious?
Triumphant?
Because I had fought the good fight?
No.
I felt lonely,
incredibly, horribly lonely.
That's why I changed my ways, Josh,
and changed all the toys
into the fun-loving creatures
you see today.
Ultimately, war achieves nothing.
Never has, never will.
- Yeah.
You're right, I don't need this thing.
(boings)
(laughs)
You know, I do think, though,
there are some things worth fighting for.
Like the Nullifier.
I've gotta do everything I can
to keep those components
from being put together.
I've got to!
- Well then perhaps we should
each pursue our own method
of defeating Dr. Zoetrope, huh?
- Yeah, yeah, maybe.
Look, you go, you go follow your plan,
and I'll try and figure out my plan.
- Sounds like a good plan.
(birds hoot and chirp)
(laughing)
- Let's get going, you
lazy toys and animals.
Move it, move it!
Come on, let's take up the slack.
Let's get moving, you lazy toys!
(yells)
(whip snaps)
Rollin', rollin', rollin',
let's keep those toys a rollin'!
Come on, let's move that wagon, boys!
Let's go, ah!
(whip snaps)
Think of this as an
exercise in discipline,
my erstwhile equals.
You get to exercise, I get to discipline.
Hah!
(laughs)
(whip snaps)
- Let's see what this primitive inventor
has to offer the greatest
intellect of the 25th century.
Hmm.
Possibly useful.
A remote hologram projection device
with a bizarre voice activated code.
Crystal, crystal in my claw,
where's the one I'm searching for?
(tense instrumental music)
Crystal, I think we'll
widen out for a full shot.
(tense instrumental music)
Action Jack, adjust course
to the following coordinates.
(birds chirp)
- Ah.
Boy, a pink egg.
(chuckles)
That's something you don't see every day.
(yells)
(playful music)
(chuckles)
That was a close one.
- [Theo] What?
(Yells)
(groans)
- Don't ever sneak up
on me like that again!
- I'm sorry, I was just, uh--
- Look what you made me do!
You think it's easy climbing
trees to get all these eggs?
Say,
do you realize where you are?
This is rather brave of
you to venture this close
in Nightmare Forest.
- I thought perhaps I could help.
- Oh, you did?
Well that's wonderful, Theo.
And it is brave, too.
Come on, you can help me.
We've got to stand by our friends,
even if it's difficult or scary or.
- Or we have to fight?
- Yes, sometimes we even have to fight.
I don't like it,
but I know it's what we have to do
when faced with evil.
(gentle chiming music)
(Theo softly talks)
(playful music)
(clicking)
(playful music)
- [Theo] Mmm.
(thuds)
(groans)
- It slipped.
Sorry.
Hey, you're not eating
that stuff, are you?
- Uh, no, mm-mm.
- Come over here and give me a hand.
(playful music)
- [Theo] What, what?
- Push down on this spring here.
(playful music)
- Oh, oh.
(thuds)
(yells)
(groans)
Uh-oh.
(groans)
I'm sorry, I forgot we were--
- Um, look, uh, maybe you
should go and help Josh, huh?
- But I wanted to help you.
- Well, you'll be helping
me by helping Josh.
He went that way.
(footsteps crunch)
(birds chirp)
(Prism squeals)
- Prism,
Prism, get ahold of yourself.
What's a matter, you're
having an allergic reaction
or something?
(Azabeth chants)
You are,
you are having an allergic
reaction to the vibrations
of Azabeth's chanting.
(chanting)
Doesn't one of the 21 codes
mention something about
enough is enough?
- Of course not.
Kang never would have endorsed
such a weakness of spirit.
(chanting)
Although,
it may have been referred
to in the 13th code.
- May have?
- We can never know, for number
13 is the lost code of Kang.
(chanting in Kangian)
(groans)
(chanting)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Oh, this is great.
Gepetto tells me there's
an old shortwave radio
back at his tower in Toy World,
and I figure maybe I can
use it to communicate
with the time pod, but, no,
instead I get lost and have
no idea as to where I'm going.
There's got to be some way
out of this crazy place.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(crunching)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(thuds)
- Mmm, scrumptious.
I would prefer a touch more rust,
but uninvited guests
shouldn't make much fuss.
- G-G-Go ahead, y-you might as
well have the rest of these.
(yells)
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are done.
Now it's time for riddle fun.
(tense music)
Answer right, you'll learn the score.
Answer wrong, you'll be no more.
- [Josh] What's the question?
- How do you think one
would get to Toy World
without the proper attire?
- Well, I, uh.
- Answer!
- Okay, okay, just a
second, I, I know this one.
It's easy really.
How does one get to Toy World?
Oh, yeah, yeah, there's no doubt about it.
It's to run!
(exciting dramatic music)
(laughing)
(groans)
(thuds)
(exciting instrumental music)
- Not bad, young friend,
but you know the refrain,
without pain there is no gain.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- Well isn't there some
way we can talk this out?
- Another riddle, you want?
Until I shall rhyme,
who would you wager is a warrior of time?
- Warrior of time,
let's see, uh, Zoetrope?
- (laughs) Sorry, strike one.
- Then it's gotta be Irwin, right?
Yeah, Iriwn 1138.
- (laughs) Nice try, strike two!
- But there's no one else!
(yells)
(dramatic instrumental music)
- (laughs) Time's up, little pup!
- Just a second, okay?
(yells)
(dramatic music)
Whoa, whoa, don't I get one more strike?
- Ah, shall I truly be
forced to follow this course?
- Yes, a final request for the condemned
is absolutely mandatory.
Whoa.
- Last chance, young friend.
So do we attend,
the one who is a warrior of time
is the same one who
arrived improperly attired,
and he's staring into your eyes right now.
- Yeah, but there's no one else here!
Except you and,
(dramatic music)
and me.
(zapping)
(groans)
- Good guess.
(dramatic music)
- How did you get there?
- Josh, I've told you before.
The universe is in peril and
I must do all that is possible
to save it.
- Save it?
Oh, jeez, first Mr. Troll and now you?
Except Mr. Troll kind of went to pieces.
- His job was done.
He gave what you asked for.
- Excuse me?
I asked for that?
A near death experience?
- Your clue, remember?
Evidently Nightmare Forest
saw fit to send you one,
albeit unconventionally.
- Oh okay,
so I'm some kind of warrior
who doesn't know how to dress?
Oh, now I understand everything.
- Joshua, don't you wonder
how you can still exist
without your CDL bracelet?
(tense music)
- Yeah, every now and then.
- It's impossible for you
to be here without one.
I believe that's the proper attire
your frightful friend was referring to.
- Yeah, but if it's impossible?
- How can you still exist?
There's only one possible answer,
however improbable it may be,
and that answer saved
your neck a minute ago.
- What are you saying?
- You, Josh Kirby,
you are a time warrior.
- Oh, a time warrior, oh.
- One in a billion,
young Kirby, that's you.
A mere mortal with the awesome ability
to traverse the time stream with ease,
even bend it at your own will.
A gladiator whose arena is
the temporal web itself.
Unlike the other 999,999,999 of us,
the molecules of your body
are not time specific.
Therefore, unlimited in their
movement across the length
and breadth of the time stream.
It's quite remarkable, isn't it?
What's even more remarkable
is why nature would choose you
to bestow such a profound
a natural gift upon.
That one really escapes me.
Perhaps,
it's connected to a
pathetically high quotient
of temporal immaturity.
Your temporal senses are so undeveloped
that they can fit in anywhere.
- Then that's how I transported
myself out of limbo.
And that means I can zap
myself to the time pod
any time I want, right?
- Unfortunately, Josh,
although you do seem
to possess the powers to utterly
control the forces of time,
they are subject to certain limitations.
- Such as?
- It's quite complicated.
It has do to with
chrono-quantum recharging,
but those are limits you're
going to have to discover
on your own,
kind of like a babe learning
to walk for the first time.
You see, even a time warrior
whose powers are checked and balanced
by the higher laws of the universe
is a very powerful being indeed.
That is why I'm offering you a deal.
- You are?
- Equal partnership.
With my intellect and
your mastery of time,
we can reassemble the Nullifier posthaste.
(dramatic music)
- Do you really believe I would
help you destroy everything
that ever was, is, and will be?
If you do, you're not as
smart as you think you are.
- That old imbecile Irvin 1138
is not trying to save the universe,
he's trying to save his job,
and he will do anything to achieve that.
As long as the Nullifier
component remains inactive,
the Supreme Prefect controls everything
and everyone.
Join me and I'll prove it to you.
I'm offering you a pact of ultimate power.
(tense music)
- Ah, what the heck?
Maybe you're right, I mean,
we could be some team.
- I can see it now.
Zoetrope and Kirby.
- Oh, really?
Well don't you think, uh,
Kirby and Zoetrope kind of
has a better ring to it?
- No.
- Well, I guess I might
just have to reconsider.
(dramatic music)
- Well does that mean the deal's off?
Pity, but a refusal was
not entirely unexpected,
as you can see.
- No, wait, Dr. Zoetrope, I can't hang on!
(groans)
(dramatic music)
- I really wish I could help you, Joshua,
but as you probably figured out by now,
I'm just a holographic image.
- Oh, oh, this is bad.
(groans)
And this is worse.
(dramatic music)
All right, I've gotta do something.
I'm a time warrior, right?
Right, I, I hereby summon my powers to
transport me to the time pod.
(tense music)
Okay, okay, maybe Zoetrope was wrong.
Maybe I'm not a time anything.
Maybe I'm just plain old Josh Kirby
about to meet his maker.
Oh!
(dramatic instrumental music)
If there's some way out of here,
anything, somebody please show it to me.
- I say, old bean, are you
down there for the view?
- What?
The view sucks!
Help me out!
(exciting music)
(groans)
Solid ground,
I'll never leave you again.
Thanks a million, Theo.
But, I thought Annie
said toys couldn't enter
Nightmare Forest.
- I was just too hungry to keep up.
(bells jingle)
Hey, what's that?
- I don't know, it
sounds like sleigh bells.
(bells jingle)
- [Jack] Push, you
weak-kneed little sissies!
I'll whip the stuffing out of ya!
Ha! (laughs)
(whip snaps)
(dramatic music)
- Zoetrope.
You know the way back to Toy World, right?
- Like the back of my paw, mate.
Oh, let's hustle!
(dramatic instrumental music)
(footsteps thud)
(dramatic music)
- He's gone.
No sign of a body,
no sign of the Nullifier
component, nothing.
- Hey, Doc, (chuckles) nothing
escapes my new and improved
plastic tracking ability.
They are headed back to Toy World.
- Blast it!
I cannot allow Josh to escape
with the Nullifier component again.
- This Josh Kirby, this
non-toy, is our friend.
He only wants to get back
home to where he belongs.
It's that nasty maniac, Dr. Zoetrope,
who's been causing all the problems.
He's the one we have to watch out for.
And furthermore,
(exciting music)
oh, Josh, my darling!
You've come back to me!
Oh, I've played this moment
in my mind a thousand times,
wondering what to say, how
to express my feelings,
and now that you're here it's so obvious
there is but one true
message for me to give
from my heart to yours,
you look awful.
- Annie.
- And you're kinda smelly.
- Look, Annie, we don't have much time.
Zoetrope will find us soon,
so show me to Gepetto's tower, quick!
(playful upbeat music)
An old shortwave radio,
there's got to be one
around here somewhere.
(clattering)
(playful music)
- I say, old chap, you
mean this old thing?
- Way to go, Theo!
Oh, no,
I should've known.
What else would I find in Toy World?
- Oh, don't be blue, Josh.
This isn't the non-toy
I've grown so fond of
in so short a time.
The Josh Kirby I've come to
know is a scrappy non-toy
who doesn't give up no
matter what the odds.
- Darn straight.
You're right, Annie.
Nobody's gonna laugh at Josh Kirby
for giving up without a fight.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Oh, I've missed you too, Josh,
but don't you think we should dance later?
- Gepetto would never say
he had a shortwave radio
and mean a toy one,
so there's got to be a real one somewhere.
(playful rhythmic music)
(Theo mumbles)
(playful rhythmic music)
- Does it look like this?
(playful rhythmic music)
- Oh!
Oh, Annie, you're beautiful!
(bells jingle)
(sighs)
- What's that sound.
(whip snaps)
(bells jingle)
- Trouble.
(toys groan)
(dramatic music)
- [Jack] Whoa!
(toys groan)
(sad music)
Fall in!
- I can't say much for
your troops, Sergeant Jack.
I'll take over from here.
- Ah, give me a chance, my liege.
All this lily-livered bunch needs
is a little helping hand,
a little incentive,
(groaning)
(squeaks)
a little organization.
Now you toys on my left,
you're Infantry A, battering ram division.
All you toys on my
right, you're Infantry B,
ladder squad.
- Pardon me, sir,
but we haven't a
battering ram or a ladder.
(toys groan)
- Why don't you let me worry about that?
(tense music)
(toys groan)
(playful fast music)
- Theo, organize all the toys
and get 'em to lock all the buildings.
- Aye aye, Captain Josh.
(playful fast music)
- Here goes something.
Attention, attention,
this is Josh Kirby calling the time pod.
Come in, time pod
(static hums)
(yells)
(thuds)
- Looks like Chuckles is
all through chuckling.
(laughs)
(thuds)
- Repeat, this is Josh Kirby.
(static hums)
Come in, time pod.
(yelling)
(gasps)
- Holy Gepetto, this is terrible!
(clattering)
(yelling)
Poor Chuckles!
(yelling)
(dramatic music)
(whizzes)
Yeah!
Eat sugar, punk!
- Mayday, mayday, this
is a time stream SOS
for Irwin, Azabeth, and
Prism in the time pod.
Can you hear me, time pod?
Please respond!
(static hums)
(chanting)
(rumbling)
(sighs)
- I'm afraid it's no use.
(chanting)
I said I'm afraid it's no use.
(chanting)
I said!
(chanting)
(sighs)
I'm afraid the time may
have come for us to continue
the Nullifier quest without Josh Kirby.
(chanting)
(rumbling)
(dramatic music)
- Come on, get on with it.
- Yes, sir!
All right, troops, this way, come on.
Let's go, let's go.
(dramatic music)
(soft chattering)
- All right, Irwin, Azabeth, Prism,
I know you're out there so answer.
I've got another Nullifier component.
I need you.
The universe needs you!
(clattering)
Oh no.
(tense music)
(static scratches)
Nothing.
(playful dramatic music)
I've been stuck in this
cockamamie Toy World all day
and it's been the worst
12 hours of my life!
- [Annie] 11 hours, 59 minutes,
and 35 seconds, to be exact.
- Really?
(playful dramatic music)
- We toys wind up, run
on batteries, springs,
we have an excellent sense of time.
- Look, Annie, I, uh,
I didn't mean what I said.
I-I-I just got frustrated.
I'm just.
(cuckoo clock chimes)
- 12 hours, Josh.
(beeps)
(zinging)
- Annie!
Annie, it's working!
- Josh, what's happening?
- What did Zoetrope say?
Quantum, quantum recharging?
(beeps)
Yeah, it's been exactly 12 hours
since I used my powers to
zap myself out of limbo!
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
Annie, I need to get outside and higher.
This signal's not strong enough!
(beeping)
(dramatic music)
(soft chattering)
- What are you up to, young Kirby?
(dramatic music)
- Yes!
- Lieutenant Jack, on the roof!
Primary target sighted!
(dramatic music)
- Infantry B!
Routine 64, now!
Come on, you three,
you've just been drafted.
In we go.
Let's get to work!
(claps)
(chattering)
(dramatic music)
Pick up the pace, ya lazy muffin heads.
This ain't no picnic.
(chattering)
(dramatic music)
(beeping)
- All right.
This is Josh Kirby, time warrior,
calling the time pod.
Do you hear me?
(static zings and beeps)
I've got another component.
Please, answer me!
- Come on, get up there before
I dismantle every one of you.
Get up there!
- How about some dessert?
(gooey plopping)
(playful music)
(laughing)
(playful music)
(beeping)
- We're holdin' off the
forces of evil here,
but we need some serious backup.
Josh to the time pod!
You've gotta come through for me!
(chanting)
- Booster rockets primed,
chrono circuits set.
(beeping)
(chanting)
(beeping)
- Hello?
Can you hear me out there?
(beeping)
- [Irwin] Will engage in 30 seconds.
Prepare for the storm.
- Irwin.
(beeping)
(tense music)
All right, it's now or never, folks.
Let's see what this time
warrior stuff is all about.
Come in time pod!
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
Cool.
- It's true.
He is a time warrior.
- [Josh] Hello?
Come in time pod.
(chanting)
- Wait a minute.
- What is it?
- [Azabeth] Who turned down the radio?
- Time pod doesn't have a
(beeping)
radio.
- [Josh] Hello, hello!
Josh to time pod, please answer!
- Josh Kirby!
- Astounding.
Let me try and locate the source.
Prism, Prism, assist me, quickly!
(dramatic music)
- Enough of this spectacle.
(thuds)
(yells)
- Josh!
- [Theo] Are you all right?
- Thanks a lot, Theo, sorry about that.
- There, there.
(toys chatter)
- No.
- Josh, hand me the Nullifier component.
- Never!
- I'll get it for you myself, sir liege.
(zinging)
(toys gasp and cheer)
- Come on, guys.
(toys chatter)
- [Zoetrope] Blast.
- All right!
- [Irwin] Josh, Josh, are you all right?
- Never better, Irwin old pal.
Looks like you came right in time.
- Hey, infantry, let's
attack this alien spaceship!
Let's go, let's go!
- What if we don't want to?
- Excuse me?
- Maybe we're tired of being your slaves.
(soft chattering)
- Do you have anything better to do?
(playful music)
- [Chuckles] Why, yes, I think we do.
(playful music)
♫ We are the toys of Toy World
- Oh, my, no!
♫ Happiness and joy world
- Yes!
♫ A toy for every boy and girl
♫ In Toy World
(playful music)
(toys laugh)
(Prism mumbles)
- I fail to grasp the
meaning of this ritual.
- Catchy tune though.
♫ Happiness and joy world
♫ Toy World, Toy World
♫ Toy World
(playful upbeat music)
- Ah, I can't take it anymore!
(thuds)
- Oh!
Oh, nice right hook!
I mean paw.
- Give me five.
- [Annie] Josh, help me!
- Turn off that music and
give me the Nullifier, Josh,
or this raggedy Annie
gets a lot raggedier.
(playful music)
- Yeah, turn off the music.
(music screeches)
(toys groan)
- The Nullifier, Josh,
before I am forced to
do something irreparable
to this lovely toy.
(dramatic music)
(clicking)
(clattering)
- Gepetto!
(exciting music)
- Release that toy this
instant, you brute.
- Nice bluff, toy maker.
Too bad we both know
those weapons are useless
under your energy field.
- But they're not weapons,
at least not in the conventional sense.
(dramatic music)
Bombs away!
(toys cheer)
- [Zoetrope] What's going on here?
(playful music)
(toys cheer)
The next one that hits me!
- Come on, get up and fight like toys!
(playful music)
(toys cheer)
- Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
(playful music)
I'm coming for your first, pinhead.
(playful music)
(yelling and cheering)
Stop it!
Desist this this minute!
This is gonna block my engines!
Stop it!
Josh Kirby, Josh Kirby!
Stop this madness now!
Will this do, Josh Kirby?
You haven't seen the last of me.
I swear it!
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
(toys cheer and laugh)
(playful music)
- Uh-oh.
(playful music)
(toys laugh and cheer)
(laughs)
(gooey splattering)
(playful music)
(laughing)
Perhaps the same sort of
allergic reaction Prism had
has affected this time and place.
- Possibly.
- [Rabbit] I'm gonna get you.
(laughing)
(playful music)
(laughing)
- And in recognition of
countless acts of valor,
executed in the name of friendship,
I hereby declare you honorary toy.
(cheering)
(Jack groans)
- Thanks a lot, Gepetto.
Oh and try and cheer up, will ya?
(laughs)
(gentle music)
You take care of yourself, Theo.
- Cheerio, dear boy.
(gentle music)
- I'm gonna miss you most of all, Annie.
- Oh, Josh, you're the only
non-toy I've ever loved.
(gentle music)
- I think it's high time we departed.
Don't you?
- Let's hear it, toys!
(cheering)
- Thanks a lot, everyone.
Toy World's been, well, different.
(cheering)
I'd love to stay, everyone,
but there are three more
of these deadly components
to hunt down.
(exciting music)
- That is absolutely correct,
and it is time for a reality check.
Let's get a move on.
- Nice to see you again, Azabeth.
(exciting music)
Bye, everyone!
(exciting music)
(toys cheer)
- [Toy] Bye.
- Bye.
(exciting music)
(swooshing)
- A time warrior, are you certain?
- That's what it looks like.
I mean, it's not like I'm
suddenly warlike or anything,
but sending that radio
message felt pretty cool.
- A just and noble warrior
always is cool headed,
but in keeping with
the fifth code of Kang,
those who abandon the truth once
may never find it again.
Therefore, I must inform you that it was
the telekinetic astral projections
of my tech-warrior consciousness
generated by the Kangian
chant of the forlorn
that reached out across the time stream
and enabled you to contact us.
- What?
You, you've gotta be kidding.
I mean, I fought a desperate
fight against all odds
to come up with some sort
of communications device
that my one in a billion time
warrior powers could work on.
And you're telling me--
- Would you two modulate your intercourse?
If Josh is right,
his newfound powers might
prove invaluable to me,
uh, I mean, us.
- Yeah, yeah, wouldn't that be cool?
If I could walk up to
the time pod view window
and look out and close my eyes
and concentrate for a second,
and then be able to open them and say,
hey, Dr. Zoetrope's after us!
- Huh, I suppose that
would be a useful talent.
- Then consider this a free preview,
'cause Zoetrope really is after us.
(booming)
- Commission the fissures to action!
(zooming)
Hang on everybody!
(zooming)
(dramatic music)
Fear not, I think I've located
a time stream escape route.
Look, it's even locked for us.
- Step on it, Irwin.
Turn the pod around.
- What?
Zoetrope's right behind us.
- Irwin, turn it around!
(rumbling)
(whistle blows)
- Just because you're a time warrior,
doesn't mean to say you know more
about temporal navigation than I
do!
(dramatic music)
We're not turning!
- What are you waiting for?
Go ahead and use one of
your one in a billion
time warrior powers and save us!
(dramatic music)
- Look, there's something
about chrono-quantum recharging
and a time limit.
- Oh, well, I might have known.
As the 15th code of Kang clearly states,
if you lay claim to a title,
be prepared to defend it at
any hour of the day or night.
(dramatic music)
- Sorry.
(train rumbles)
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] On the next chapter
of Josh Kirby, Time Warrior.
(zooming)
(zinging)
(dramatic music)
- [Azabeth] They're everywhere!
- Hey, what are we gonna do?
- I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
- Well think harder, we're in trouble!
(groans)
- No!
(zooming)
- My beautiful time pod ruined.
- You mean we're stuck here?
(dramatic music)
Azabeth, who's this clown?
- This is Akira Storm, the
keeper of the 21 codes of Kang.
- Take them away.
- Akira!
- But you simply have
to get us out of here.
- I'll see what I can do.
(booming)
- Dreadnaught, the enslaver and his forces
had us under constant siege.
(booming)
- You know what I want.
The enslavement of your
entire planet. (laughs)
(yelling)
(dramatic music)
(zinging)
- I cannot stand idly by
as my friends rot away
in some jail cell!
You must release them.
(yelling)
(groans)
It is a fight to the death.
(yelling)
(clanging)
- [Josh] Fight to the death?
(yelling)
(clanging)
You can't do it!
(yells)
(groans)
(thuds)
(dramatic music)
(yells)
(clanging)
- [Azabeth] I hope Josh
Kirby knows what he's doing.
(booming)
- I doubt very much that
he knows what he's doing,
but he has a plan nonetheless.
- Scram!
(dramatic music)
- You realize if you fail,
you're sending our last means of escape
right into enemy hands?
- Run!
(dramatic music)
- Relax, pal, I'm a time warrior.
(exciting music)
(MultiCom Jingle)
