[GENTLE BIRDSONG]

[WATER FLOWS]

NARRATOR: From time immemorial,

the ancient Ukrainian forest

has harboured amazing
secrets and mysteries.

Behind the Dark Mountain,

in the forest's heart,

the Source of Life is hidden.

It provides the forest
and its dwellers

with their power, their spark.



But one winter,

while the forest
was fast asleep,

with the guardian
alone watching over it,

a human broke into the forest

through the passage
in the Dark Mountain.

It was the owner of the sawmill.

He needed at least one drop
from the Source of Life

to save his dying
newborn daughter.

But then he returned and
brought an army with him,

hoping to take over the
entire Source for himself.

And so a terrible battle began

that left no winners.

Only losers.

All humans who had trespassed



behind the Dark
Mountain vanished.

The Forest Guardian

lost all but an echo of
his ancient strength.

And when the forest
creatures woke in the spring,

they were greeted by the
horrific consequences

of the humans' treachery.

Look at what our
enemies have done.

For this reason,

no human shall set foot

behind the Dark
Mountain ever again!

This is the new forest law.

Many years have
passed since that day.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[YAWNS] Another winter is over.

Oh, I've slept so long.

I was having the
loveliest dream.

But this is better
than any dream.

[MUSIC LIFTS]

[CHUCKLES] It's finally spring.

It's the best part of
the best day of the year.

Time to wake up the forest.

Hark! Hush, the master
of sounds, approaches.

Happy spring, Mavka!

Hush! You can fly?!

That's kind of huge news.

They'll call me Hush,
who conquered the sky!

Just don't tell Lesh.

He'll think I'm
stork-raving mad. [LAUGHS]

VILLAGER: Yeah! One more! More!

And the fans go wild!

We are so ready to
conquer the world.

Settle down, kid.
Hometown crowd.

Everybody knows us here.

Wow, I'm just so nervous.

What if things don't
work out in the city?

There are so many
other musicians there.

You have to believe
in yourself, Nina,

and let the music
show us the way.

Whatever that's
supposed to mean.

- [HORN HONKS]
- [VILLAGERS GASP]

VILLAGERS: What was that?

[GRUNTS]

[READS] "Big money
for an important job?"

Hm, not for a soon-to-be
musical legend like me.

But maybe Uncle
Leo can use this.

Lucas, your uncle,

he's not feeling well.

They called the
healer and everything.

Get home, quick.

Hopefully we'll see
you at the fair later.

[VEHICLE HISSES AND SPLUTTERS]

- Hey, look!
- What is it?

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

- [DOOR LATCH UNLOCKS]
- [VILLAGERS GASP]

[DARK MUSIC]

Greetings,

after so long, my
dear fellow villagers.

It is I, Kylina,

the daughter and only heiress
of the late sawmill owner.

The one that got burned
up by forest demons?

Yes, my father died tragically

in a forest wildfire,

but it had nothing to do with
your quaint superstitions.

After dear Daddy's death, my
mother and I left this place,

but soon I became an orphan.

- [VILLAGERS SIGH]
- Oh, poor thing. What a shame.

How positively tragic!

[VILLAGERS SIGH]

But now I am back to make
our village prosperous again.

I'm offering you all a job.

You'll have so much money

that you'll never
have to work again.

Not working is my dream job.

I'll rebuild the sawmill.

We'll start selling our
timber all around the world.

Aren't you all good and ready
to become rich and happy?

- Yeah!
- Absolutely.

- Yes!
- What do you want us to do?

All you have to do is pop
over the Dark Mountain...

- [VILLAGERS GASP AND MUTTER]
- VILLAGER: What?

Oh, she's cuckoo.

Ugh, just like her father.

But I'm talking huge money.

You can't buy another life.

Tell the evil spirits I said hi.

- [WARBLES]
- [GULPS]

[CHUCKLES, THEN GASPS]

- [FAINT WHIMPERING]
- What's that?

[CHITTERS]

[CROAKS AND SNIFFS]

[GRUNTS]

[ROARS]

[SNARLS]

[SNIFFS]

MAVKA: What's the matter?

- [CUB WHIMPERS]
- [GASPS]

A trap!

Probably left from
the old times.

[GRUNTS]

Huh?

[CUB WHIMPERS]

[CHUCKLES]

[EXCLAIMS JOYFULLY]

[LYNX PURRS]

[SWAMPY CHITTERS]

[CHUCKLES]

Huh?

[SQUEAKS AND SPEAKS
FOREST LANGUAGE]

The guardian is calling us.

- LUCAS: Uh, how is he?
- [BARKS]

He's holding on, but my
herbs can only do so much.

Leo needs real
medicine from the city.

But... it's not
going to be cheap.

Uh...

"Per-du-cabri-co-carum"?

Just give this to the
pharmacist in the city.

He'll understand.

Thank you. Sincerely.

[DOG BARKS]

Great news, Uncle.

A little perdi-caca-something-um

and you'll be good as new.

Lucas, what are you doing?

You can't waste
your money on me.

I'm old and I've
had a good long run.

Spend it on a nice girl,
get settled down...

[SIGHS] ..so your old
uncle can die in peace.

[WHIMPERS]

Nobody's going to D-word.

I'll find the money
some... where.

[CHUCKLES]

Uncle, you'll be
fine. I've got you.

- I've got you!

[HORN HONKS]

SERVANT: Oh, madam, it's
your family mansion.

How... rustic.

KYLINA: Ugh, it's just
a revolting hovel.

A bunch of pathetic cowards!

All my plans are at risk

just because this primitive
mob is terrified by the forest.

- Move it, Frol!
- [FROL GROANS]

Oh, ma'am. Right
away. Just a second.

Do me a favour and get
these peasant rags off me.

How can they wear
this hideous stuff?!

Ugh, I hate it. Get
rid of it right away.

What a terrible piece
of tasteless trash.

Stupid, uneducated,
superstitious mob.

[GASPS]

- Frol!
- Oh, my God.

This is so old-fashioned.

[INSECT WINGS FLUTTER]

Don't get me upset, Frol.

It's bad for my complexion.

Oh, sure, madam.

- [FOOTSTEPS THUD]
- Oh!

[GLASS SMASHES]

[BOTH GROAN]

[GASPS]

Clumsy idiots!

Inside this case is... [GASPS]

Just be careful with it.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Mm?

What is it?

Uh, about this job offer...

Oh, forget it.

KYLINA: Who's there?

Frol!

Oh, about THAT job offer?

Please come in.

Hi. My name's Lucas.

It says you'll pay well.

KYLINA: Hmm.

Hmm.

I will.

If you're up to it.

Uh, I am.

I can do any job.

Good.

Eric, Derek, you go with him.

[BOTH GRUNT]

So... what do I have to do?

Find me the tree with this leaf.

Uh... Huh!

In the forest behind
the Dark Mountain.

Hmm.

FOREST-DWELLER: What happened?

The guardian is
summoning everybody?

This hasn't happened
since I was a sapling.

- I'd rather take a nap.
- The guardian?!

[UPLIFTING MUSIC]

Greetings upon the new spring,

my fellow forest-dwellers.

[ALL EXCLAIM SOFTLY]

Is everyone here?

Mavka, did you
wake everybody up?

[FOREST-DWELLERS MUTTER]

She's probably frolicking

through the crocuses
with Swampy again.

- [FOREST-DWELLERS CHUCKLE]
- I'm sorry I'm late, Guardian.

I was helping the lynx cub
get out of an old trap.

- How terrible!
- An old trap.

I thought they were all
removed after the battle?

Nymphs.

You are the forest's
armed forces.

Which one of you missed this?

Good job, Mavka.

You've embarrassed us in
front of the guardian.

[WONDROUS, ETHEREAL MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

Now, then,

listen, forest-dwellers.

The Supreme Spirits of Nature

whisper that dangerous
times approach.

Therefore, at midnight tonight,

in the heart of the forest,

the spirits shall
choose a new guardian.

Lesh, but what about you?

I have so little strength left.

The guardian's burden

has grown too heavy for me.

Lesh won't be the
guardian anymore?

Will the humans attack us again?

- Who else can protect us?
- HUSH: Hark.

Hush the sky conqueror
can become the guardian.

Guardian chatterbox?

Yeah, just what we need.

HUSH: I heard that.

But really, anyone can
become the guardian.

You mean like even you?

No, no, no, Mavka.

You may be the sweet,
pure soul of the forest,

but for this job you
are just way too nice.

No, I'm not.

Ooh. I feel unwell.

Ondina, are you alright?

See? So gullible and nice!

LESH: Enough!

All will be decided at midnight

in the heart of the forest.

[FOREST-DWELLERS MUTTER]

LUCAS: People say that
behind the Dark Mountain,

the water nymphs and tree
spirits can tickle you to death.

Uh, you're laughing and laughing

and then bleugh!

We don't believe in
monsters of the forest.

Where do we go from here?

I think through this way.

[GASPS]

[WONDROUS MUSIC]

[FIRE FIZZLES OUT]

Uh... [GULPS]

Uh-huh.

I didn't think we
came here to hunt.

This isn't hunting.

This is fun. [CHUCKLES EVILLY]

- Yeah.
- [GUN FIRES LOUDLY]

[BISON BELLOW]

- [OWL HOOTS]
- [GASPS]

[SWAMPY CHITTERS]

Impossible.

Today of all days.

[BISON BELLOW]

[LUCAS CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

It was an accident. I tripped.

I am extremely clumsy.

My childhood nickname
was Clumsy Lucas.

We'll make you Clumsy
Black-and-Blue-cus.

[GULPS AND LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]

DEREK: Mm-hm.

My brother thinks you
should go on by yourself.

[LUCAS GROANS]

If you find the tree,
mark it on the map.

OK.

I was gonna suggest that anyway.

[FAINT RUMBLING]

Everything is fine now.

[SWAMPY CHITTERS]

What scared you so much?

[SNARLS AND BELLOWS]

Humans? Here?

I have to tell the nymphs.

Wait.

Come on, Swampy.

I'll deal with
the humans myself.

Let's show them how 'nice' I am.

[GROANS FEARFULLY]

[GRUMBLES]

Argh!

[SIGHS]

Where in the haunted
heck is this tree?

[RUSTLING]

Believe in yourself, Lucas.

Let the music show you the way.

[SIGHS] Whatever that means.

[PLAYS MELODIC FOLK TUNE]

[GASPS]

[FLUTE MELODY FADES]

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

Ohh!

It's so beautiful.

Oh, thanks. I...

Uhh...

Argh!

- [SWAMPY GRUMBLES]
- Argh!

Forest demon! [PANTS]

Argh!

Is the human dead?

- [GROANS FAINTLY]
- [SWAMPY CHITTERS]

Is this some sort
of human magic?

HUSH: Mavka!

A lot of weird,
whistly, raspy sounds

coming from this
exact area and I...

- [GASPS]
- Uh, Hush.

You already learned how
to dismount the stork.

Nice.

I am on high alert.

Our forest has just been
incursion-ated by...

Argh! THE HUMANS!

I'll watch him. You
go get the nymphs.

Oh, no.

I say we can drive the human

out of the forest on our own.

So I would be Hush, the
first kicker-outer of humans?

Oh, I like that very much.

- Argh!
- [GROANS]

[CHITTERS]

Uh... Argh! Evil spirits.

Keep back, I'm warning you.

I... I'm a... borscht
belt in combat polka.

[HUSH SPEAKS IN ECHOED
TONES] Pathetic little human!

You violated our
sacred forest...

Huh?!

..and tried to harm
these noble bison.

No! Super no.

That was the bouncer brothers.

In fact, I saved
the bison from them!

MAVKA: What is this, then?

Oh. That's my flute.

I, uh, play my music
on it... with it.

'Music'?

And you were doing this

to try and magically
enchant me in some way?

No! Well, sure.

Music is kind of magic, but...

Wait, so you liked it, then?

You do not question
me, little human!

Why have you trespassed here?

A strange lady offered me a big
reward to find a special leaf.

Aha! You hear that? A reward!

I knew that all humans
were selfish and greedy!

- Why you little...
- [SWAMPY YOWLS AND HISSES]

- Ouch.
- [BELLOWS]

[ALL EXCLAIM]

HUSH: You see this!
Human treachery!

Huh?

Wow!

You are the most
amazingly beautiful demon

I have ever seen.

Your eyes.

I am not a demon.

I am Mavka, the
soul of the forest.

Well, I'm Lucas.

The soul of... myself?

Look, I can explain.

I need that reward to buy
medicine for my uncle Leo.

No. I have been warned that
humans are skilful liars.

You have broken the law of
the forest and I expel you!

No expulsion necessary.
I'll leave myself.

Just let me find
this silly leaf first

or else my uncle...

..dies.

How awful. I'm so sorry.

- [SWAMPY CHITTERS]
- Whargh!

[LAUGHS] Hey there, little...

What are you?

This is Swampy, the
last of the kittyfrogs.

LUCAS: Awww!

It's so cute how
much he hates me.

- [GROWLS]
- Oh!

You want something super yummy?

[SNIFFS]

[LUCAS LAUGHS]

Had a feeling you'd like that.

You're very different
from the evil humans

in all the forest legends.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Derek?

[OWL HOOTS]

ERIC: Derek? Where are you?

HUSH: I'll teach you,
you filthy human!

Hush, what are you doing?

Swampy, spit it out immediately!

This grotty fleshbag is
trying to poison you.

Hey! It's my mother's recipe.

HUSH: Oh, Mommy
poisons folks too, huh?

[LUCAS AND HUSH GROAN]

MAVKA: Hush, stop!

Lucas, leave him alone.

- Huh?
- You gave it a name already?

[HUSH WARBLES AND TRUMPETS]

- [LUCAS GROANS]
- [GRUMBLES]

Lucas. Stop it right
now! [VOICE ECHOES]

[THUNDER CRACKS]

Well, he started
it. He has to leave.

I need the leaf.

Fine, here's a leaf. Now leave.

Not this one.

Are all humans this picky?

Lucas. It's not the
leaves you really need.

You need to heal your uncle

and I'll give you
the cure he needs.

LUCAS AND HUSH: Really?!

Oh, thank you. You are so nice.

Hey, hey, hey.

Do you really want
to break the law

to help a human on such a day?

You heard him.

He saved the bison,

and for some reason...
I believe him.

- [INSECT BUZZES]
- Urgh!

After all, the
soul of the forest

must help all the living
creatures in the forest, right?

And Lucas is a living
creature who is in the forest.

- Huh?
- Therefore, I have to help him.

And you will help me help him.

Me?

No way! Never!

Never, never, never,
never, never, never, never!

- No!
- [BIRDS WINGS FLAP]

When will I learn that I'm
incapable of saying no to you?

Don't worry, Hush. We'll make
it before the ceremony starts.

I'll give Lucas the cure
for his uncle and...

And then he'll leave
the forest forever.

I promise.

Hmm?

[ONDINA'S VOICE
ECHOES] Come to me!

Don't be shy. Come closer.

Ahhh!

Oh.

[HICCUPS] Mm.

Huh?

[DEREK GROANS AND SCREAMS]

Mavka, how can I thank
you for your help?

Just tell me and I'll
do it with pleasure.

Maybe you could play
your music for me?

Oh. Sure thing.

[DISTANT SCREAMING]

No, no, no, not now.

Nobody can know you're here.

No, let him play.

The nymphs will hide him
safely in the forest,

one piece here, one piece there.

You know, humans are not

actually as terrible
as you've been taught.

We have a lot of nice things.

Like music. It's so lovely.

You must be the guardian
of music in your world.

[LAUGHS] Not yet.

But my dream is to fill
my whole life with music.

As soon as my uncle gets better,

my musician friends and I
are leaving for the big city.

"The big city".

What is the big city?

It's a place where everything
is made of bricks and stone

and there are as many buildings

as there are trees
in the forest...

HUSH: Hurry up, hurry up. Move!

LUCAS: What are you
doing? Back off, shrubby.

Hush! Mavka!

Are you the ones
making all this noise?

[GULPS] Too late.

Nice knowing you, Mavka.

Up until today, anyway.

Lesh, how's it going?

Busier than I'd like.

Who is your guest?

Uh, I'm... Hush's...
cousin. [LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY]

Yes, dropped by for a
visit from overseas.

[CHUCKLES] Right, Hush?

[CHUCKLES] Uh-huh.

A very, very
many-times-removed cousin.

Shmucas is his name.

Ah! Welcome, friend Shmucas.

[CHUCKLES] Come quickly. The
ceremony is about to begin.

Oh, great. What do we do now?

Do you realise how
illegal this is?

We just need to keep our
distance from the new guardian.

As soon as the ceremony is over,
I'll come up with something.

FROL: You look just like
your parents, madam.

Hm, much better now.

Yeah. Lovely portrait.

Totally... horridness.

Hmm?

[BROTHERS MOAN]

Hmm. Did you find the tree?

So what stopped you?

Bunnies? Squirrels?
The forest demons?

[HICCUPS AND CHUCKLES]

FROL: Knuckleheads.

Totally useless. Oh!

Stop being such fools.

You are stupid idiots.

What am I paying you for?

And where is the boy?

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

- Out of my way.
- [EXCLAIMS]

Oh!

Oh, damn!

I'm running out of time.

And where is this peasant loser?

[FOREST-DWELLERS MUTTER]

Ohhh! Oh!

[CHITTERS IN FOREST LANGUAGE]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

- Hey.
- [MEOWS]

Shhh!

It is time.

Hmm!

Oh! That's the...

The Supreme Spirits of Nature,

I summon you.

The One Who Dwells in the Earth,

I call on you.

The One Who Moves the Waters,

I call on you.

The One Who Flies
with the Wind...

..the One Who Sits
on the Rock...

..I call on you.

Those who protect us,

those who help us,

those who dwell at
the Source of Life,

please choose the new guardian.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[GASPS]

Mm.

Hmm?

SPIRIT: The guardian is chosen.

[GASPS] Huh?

- Her?
- Me?

What's happening?
Is it good or bad?

Please close the knothole
on the front of your face.

Lesh, why me?

I can't possibly
be the guardian.

I have to tell you something.

The Supreme Spirits are wise,

and they know who is capable
of protecting our realm.

Now the Supreme Spirits

will bestow their powers
on the chosen one.

[WONDROUS MUSIC]

[WIND WHISTLES]

[WONDROUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

[FOREST-DWELLERS
GROAN AND EXCLAIM]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- Incredible.
- Perfect.

So how do we "keep our distance
from the new guardian" now?

Mavka, you are now granted

the powers of the Supreme
Spirits of Nature.

It is for you now

to always remember
that our enemy -

the humans - are out there.

Defend this fragile,
sacred place

with your very life.

Please welcome our new guardian

of the Source of
Life and the forest.

[WONDROUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

That was just... whoa!

Our little Mavka is
now the guardian.

I always knew this would happen.

[SCOFFS]

There has got to
be some mistake.

Why did the spirits not
choose the strongest one?

With her as guardian,

our forest is more
in danger than ever.

Hey. Easy there, friend.

Who are you supposed to be?

Me? I am, uh, Hush's cousin.

You... [SNIFFS]

You stink like a human.

Yeah, he stepped in some
human on the way here.

Uh, Cousin Shmucas.

If he's a noise keeper,

I'm the new guardian
of the forest.

And we all know...

- ..I'm not.
- [FOREST-DWELLERS GASP]

- [GASPS]
- Uh... oops.

Human?!

Run. Move your footsticks.

You treacherous human.
You have tricked me!

- Human?
- Oh, no, he's a human.

Don't let him get away!

Am I the only one here
who's completely confused?

LESH: Hush!

You've got a great deal
of explaining to do.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Argh!

[SPLUTTERS]

- Huh?
- [SCREECHING]

Argh!

[FOREST-DWELLERS MUTTER]

[SIGHS]

[SNARLS]

Argh!

[NYMPHS SHRIEK]

Argh! [SCREAMS IN SLOW MOTION]

Argh!

- Mavka.
- Get on, quick.

The lynx will take you home.

Whoa! Sounds safe.

[CHUCKLES] Nice... kitty.

Take this.

It will heal your uncle.

Thank you.

- Huh?
- [FOREST-DWELLERS APPROACH]

There's no time. Go...
and never return.

Death is the only thing
for a human to seek here.

- Go!
- Wait!

I promised I'd play for you.

Where is he? Where's the human?

He got away.

What? How did he...

You helped him?

You have the powers
of the guardian

at your disposal,
you could have -

no, you should
have - stopped him.

The guardian doesn't
need your help

deciding how and when to
use her powers, Ondina.

Mavka,

this human is no different
than all the others.

He will betray you.

And when he does, we
will all pay the price.

Hmm.

Frol!

Yes, madam?

There's something
about this boy Lucas

I don't trust.

Watch him.

I'm not so sure

he came back from the
forest empty-handed.

Me?!

Madam, I am a fashion
tsar in the making,

not a spy.

Oh, that's too bad.

If I get what I want,
I could establish you

as the number one fashion god...

..in the world.

With my own Soul of Frol
Manly Lace Boutique?

With a global chain

of whatever insane
thing you just said.

Then, if you need a spy,

why, Frol is your guy.

[CHICKENS CLUCK]

Ugh. Uh!

Silks, ribbons and laces
don't have to be disgraces.

That's the Soul of Frol.

[CHICKENS CLUCK]

No. This really happened
to me. Last night.

The forest is full of -
not demons - but creatures.

And they are not
fond of us at all.

Except Mavka. She is very nice.

Danger or no, I have to
go back to the forest

What if something happens in

What if nothing
happens while I'm here?

You're absolutely right.

I'm the guardian now. I
can't leave the forest.

Humans are enemies.

[PIPES CREAK]

So much water has flowed
past since that fateful day,

the time has come for me
to tell the full truth.

The battle all
those winters ago -

I've never told anyone the
reason why it happened.

[WIND HOWLS]

The sawmill owner
came to me in tears.

He was begging me to save
his newborn daughter...

..and I believed
in goodness in him.

I gave this human

a drop from the
Source of Life itself.

Soon, he returned with...

..well, with an army of humans.

They wanted the Source
of Life for themselves.

So, I called for the Supreme
Spirit of the Underworld,

the One Who Sits in the Rock,
to give me the Spark of Rage.

And, may all those
I love forgive me,

he did.

Everything good in me was
replaced by sheer rage.

I burned and the world burned.

Humans and the forest alike.

Fire and hatred without end.

Have you seen Lucas?

Have you seen my boy, Lucas?

[CONDESCENDINGLY] Oh!

Your boy's been taken by
the evil forest demons.

- Huh?
- Stings, right?

But you can still save
him if you join us.

Take the weapon, old man.
I'm on a schedule here!

You stay here and make sure
nobody finds the boy...

..unless you were just
dying to be in the battle?

[CHUCKLES CONDESCENDINGLY]

This is for our home!

I might've frightened

but the forest means
no harm to humans.

We can live in peace and
even help each other.

"Help each other"?

A long time ago, the
forest gave a drop

from the Source of Life to
the owner of the sawmill

so he could heal his
sick newborn daughter.

The forest saved you!

What? Nobody ever told me!

It is the truth.

[LAUGHS]

The truth?

The truth is the sawmill
owner never had a daughter,

but he had a beautiful wife
that came up with a tragic story

about a little sick daughter.

My husband was
obedient but weak.

He only got me
the one lousy drop

that kept me young and
fit for all these years.

But how does this
make us enemies?

Oh, you'll never understand
this. Look at you!

You're Nature's queen,
glowing and gorgeous forever!

You don't know nothing about
crow's-feet, turkey neck,

back fat.

You'll never get old and
saggy and shrivelled.

But I can give
you one more drop.

That is so nice of you,

but, see, if I get hold of
the entire Source of Life,

I will not only be young
and beautiful forever,

but it'll also make me

the richest, most
powerful woman ever.

But without the Source of
Life, the forest will die.

It's gonna die one way
or the other, honey,

so why not just
get out of my way?

Hm.

[TENDRILS RUMBLE]

Not all humans are as cruel

To the city?

Exactly.

Oh.
