Napoleon (1995) - full transcript

Child's voice:
Beneath this towering maple

Lives an animal

With the savage soul
of a jungle beast!

I am a fearless warrior.

But unfortunately...

I look like this.

[dog howling]

There it goes.

[dogs howling]

The howl of the wild dogs.

I'm coming, guys.



I'm joining the pack.

I'm gonna get
to the jungle.

Just have to
get over this.

Oops.
Forgot it was this high.

[dogs howling]

They're calling me.
They need me to help hunt.

They've heard about
my incredible strength.

Ooh-whoa!

Out there, I'd roam wild,

I'd kill for my food, I'd--

[children's voices]

Uh-oh. What's that?

Child: Look at the dog
with the chiffon.

Balloons.



That means
there's gonna be trouble.

Time for my keen survival
instincts to take over.

Whoops!

Uh-oh.

Woman's voice: Muffin.
Was that you, Muffin?

Mom, please, I told you.
My name is Napoleon.

I'm a conqueror!

Hope she doesn't
see that flowerpot.

Oh, no. Here they come.

Boy: Come on, boy,
where are you, Muffin?

Muffin,
where's my Muffin?

Come on, Muffin!

Whoa!

Muffin, dear--

I'm fine.

Hey. Candy.

Yeow!

Look at them.

I can run 10 times faster
than that, and they know it.

[children yelling]

Listen to them.

If I attacked,

Then they'd really have
something to scream about.

Hey, I got an idea.

Let's throw some dork
in the water.

Well, I said dork, not dog!

Girl:
Cute little Muffin.

I hate the water.

You're a cutie.

A cute little
Muffin-Muffin.

You're a cute
little Muffin puppy.

You're so cute,
Muffin.

Woman: Hey, kids,
time for birthday cake.

Yay!
Yay!

Napoleon:
Hey, wait for me!

Hey.

Hey.

What about me?

I--I can't swim.

Oh, please don't
let me fall in.

Muffin,

Did you get
your little paws wet?

Little paws?

What can I expect?

I'm cursed with cute looks.

I'll show them.

How about a little slobber
on this propeller cap?

Next time it spins--
a spit Storm.

Where are you going,
dear, hmm?

Just trying to have
some fun, ma.

Hey, look at that.

That's something new

For Napoleon
to investigate.

The crowd cheers as Napoleon
enters the basket.

Listen to how they yell.

Muffin, get out
of there immediately.

Immediately!

There's no Muffin
in here, only Napoleon.

Come on, mom,
I'm just playing.

Jump out now!
I said, jump out now!

Look at me! I'm flying!

I'm high in the Sky!
I'm--uh-oh.

Muffin, jump down
from there right now.

Ohh. Now he's up
too high.

Mom!

Mommy!

Should I jump?

No, don't jump!
Don't jump!

The trees
will catch you!

Just stay
in the basket

And don't try
anything foolish!

Just sit still!
You'll be all right!

Very cool.

Napoleon: (music) there's
a new world out there (music)

(music) coming to find me (music)

(music) everything's
waiting up ahead (music)

(music) nothing's behind me (music)

(music) if I don't dream (music)

(music) if I don't try (music)

(music) how will I know (music)

(music) how far (music)

(music) I'll fly? (music)

(music) there may be
mountain peaks (music)

(music) I'm gonna slide down (music)

(music) there may be rivers
fast and wide (music)

(music) I'm gonna ride down (music)

(music) unless I dream (music)

(music) unless I try (music)

(music) how will I know (music)

(music) how far (music)

(music) I'll fly? (music)

(music) I'm high-flying and free (music)

(music) there's the sun
rising for me (music)

(music) there may be cities
beyond the rooftops (music)

(music) oceans beyond the sea (music)

(music) I'll fly (music)

(music) up to another Sky (music)

(music) no one has traveled
so far (music)

(music) out to a faraway star (music)

(music) maybe farther (music)

Napoleon: Wow! Let's go back
and do that again.

No, no. Back, back.
Towards the train.

Stupid wind.

You're blowing
the wrong way.

This is not good.
This is definitely not good.

I'm heading out
towards the...

Water!

Oh, the only thing I hate worse
than being in the water

Is being this high above it!

Hey, help!

There's a puppy up here.

Doesn't anybody
find that a little weird?

Come on, balloons,
go down, go down, go down!

Oh, no! Stay up, stay up!

Oh, I don't like
all this water.

I'm getting seasick
just looking at it.

What's that?

Huh?

Help! Help!

Stop! Hey, slow down!

No one's ever gonna
find me out here.

Paah! When did dogs
start migrating?

Huh? Hmm?

Hey! I'm talking to you.

Oh, I didn't see you.

My name's muff--
I mean, Napoleon.

I'm
birdo birdaluce!

What are doing--ow!
What are you doing up here?

Trying to get down.

You got to help me.

I don't like it up here.

Look. We're coming
near land.

Maybe I can jump.

Just get back in
the basket, furball.

Ok? You don't
want to be out.

Now sit down. Sit!

Sit down. That's
a good doggy.

Back up! No, no.
Back up!

Ouch!

Don't try and get out,

'cause it's just
too far down!

Ouch!

Oh, my goodness.

Napoleon: So how am I
gonna get down?

I have an idea.

Watch. Will you stop
fidgeting? Stop fidgeting!

Stop pecking!

Furry nut!

I'm still,
I'm still, ok?

Here's the idea.

It's got to be very
precisely timed

As soon as we're over
that beach down there.

What are you gonna do?

The basket is traveling
southeast at--ow!

Hey, what happened?
Where'd you go?

I'm fine.

Now, to bring
this thing in

For a perfect
landing...

Just got to...

[gulps]

Uh-oh.

I know exactly
what I'm doing.

Whoa!
Hey, take it easy.

This will bring you
in for a--

Hey!

Nice, soft land--

Whoa!

Flap your paws,
Napoleon!

Flap your paws!

What am I saying?
Jump out!

You'll get killed
in that--oh, no!

Oh! Oh, dear!

What have I done?

Oh, my goodness!

That was nice and soft?

I'd hate to see what you
consider a crash-landing.

Crash-landing or not,

I got you down,
didn't I?

Ooh, my neck.

[neck cracks]
that's better.

A little bruised,
but feeling fine.

In fact, feeling
incredibly fine and free.

Oh, and I suppose
I did nothing.

Are you listening to me?

Napoleon!

Oh! Buhh!

Where's that fluff ball
running off to?

Look at that.

The world I left behind.

So long, city.

This is my Chance
to be free,

To live life
without rules,

To hunt and play and stay up
as late as I want.

[sadly]
so long, mom.

[dog howling]

Hey, it's the wild dogs!

[dogs howling]

Hey, birdo,
come with me.

We'll find them
together.

We'll be like 2 explorers.

I'll bark if I
smell them down here,

And you'll chirp
if you spot them up there.

I don't chirp. I tweet.

It's an entirely
different sound.

Chirping is annoying
and grating,

But tweeting is
melodic and soothing.

Tweet-tweet tweet!
Hello?

Sorry. I'm just
so excited...

Joining
the savage beasts!

Yeah, you look awfully savage
in that red ribbon! Ha!

I'd love to help you, but I
belong out in that Forest.

That's where my flock headed.

I lost them when I
stopped to help you.

Now, why don't both of us
just get along home?

No. I won't go home
and be a house pet.

Never, never, never!

There's nothing worse
than a puppy in denial.

Tuk tuk tuk! Ba-ha!

You won't last a minute
out here in the wild.

You'll be killed
before nightfall.

Tomorrow, the vultures

Will be pecking the flesh
from your bones

And picking your eyes out!

You're just trying
to scare me.

I don't have
to scare you.

There'll be plenty of other
animals to do that!

If you think I'll stick
around and watch,

You're crazy.

I don't believe you,
and I'm not going back now.

I've made up my mind.

Now, where are they?

Where would I be
if I was a wild dog?

[dog howling]

It's coming
from over that way!

[dogs howling]

Back home, I'd have
to be in bed by now,

But out here,
all the rules are off.

I can stay up all night
if I feel like it.

[owl hoots]

I can go anywhere I want.

This is great.

Who! Who!

Who! Who!

It's me, me.

Go back to your home,
puppy.

[fearfully] ha,
I don't see a puppy here.

Awful things happen to pets
out here in the wild.

Ha. Yeah, sure.

Like what?

They learn to kill,
and they can't stop.

You're just trying
to scare me.

I've seen it happen.

It happened
to a cat!

[French accent] oh, what
an untangled web I weave.

Whoo. Come to admire
this fabulous piece of art?

Actually, I was wondering

If you knew a good place
to sleep out here.

Is my web not beautiful?

I use no knitting needles,

Just my 8 little feets.

I think you missed a spot.

Ok, where?

Um, there. Right there.

Get your nose
out of there!

You know how long
this took me to--

Hey! Watch the tail!

Sorry. Yuck!

Get this off of me.

Ugh!

[coarse new York accent]
aw, now look what you done.

You're lucky
you're not a fly.

[sniffs]

Finally got that web
out of my nose.

[gasps]

I never saw a tree
like that.

It looks like it's got
a tunnel through its trunk,

And it looks like
the perfect place

To spend the night.

I even smell some food.

I wonder if...

Somebody lives here.

Hello?

Is that a mouse I hear?

Where do they keep
their snacks?

Just as I thought.

Huh?

Can't have any mice
crawling around my house.

Hmm. This smells good.

[lapping]

Hmm.

Furry mouse.

Big yellow mouse.

[rustling]

What's that?

Is it a wild dog?

Hello! Any wild dogs
out there?!

Hmm.

Hmm.

Time to rid my house
of the mouse.

Huh? What?

The mouse.

Good thing I'm not
a mouse. Ha ha.

You can't fool me with
that pitiful disguise.

I'll rip it off you!

Waah!

[hisses]

Whoa! This cat's nuts!
Thinks I'm a mouse!

Oh, no! Aah!
Darn ribbon!

I got to pull hard!

Uhh!

[cat growling]

[whimpering,
panting]

It's ok. I'm safe here.

Think she's gone.

Slash the mousy.

Ow! No!

Arrgh!

[cat growling]

Raar!

Whoa, deep water!

Arrgh!

Oh, no!

What's the matter,
can't swim?

Listen to me.
I'm not a mouse.

You are a deeply
disturbed animal.

You should--

Shut up!

My job is to destroy
all vermin in this house.

Mouse must die.

Now!

[cat growling]

Stay back!

[owl screeching]

I warned you about her.

What's the matter,
can't swim?

Thank you.

Go home.

That cat won't rest
until you're dead.

That cat is
fish food by now.

Ha ha.

You're dead, mousy.

Napoleon's mother:
Rise and shine, Muffin.

It's a beautiful morning.

Time to get up, Muffin.

Wake up.

I'm up, mom.

Mommy?

[yawns]

Guess I was dreaming.

Really thought
I was back home.

But I'm not,
and that's that.

So my first day
wasn't so great.

That's all behind me.

I made it through the first
night away from home,

And now I don't have to worry
about that stupid cat.

Oh, no, a River.

I hate the water.

Why does water
scare me so much?

[mimicking] why does
water scare me so much?

Hey, stop making fun of me!

Hey, stop making fun of me!

I'm just trying to
find the wild dogs.

Well, you know what?

They're on
the other side...

Ohh.

Of the water.

[lorikeets laughing]

On the other side
of the water!

Guess I'm gonna
have to do it.

Guess I'm gonna
have to do it.

Hee hee hee hee!

Ok.

I can do this.

I'm not gonna let
a little water stop me,

For I am...

[gulps]

Napoleon.

Think he'll make it?

Ha ha ha!
No way!

Whoa! Cold!

Whoa! Look out!

Hmm, this dog's nuts.

I did it!

I did it!

Hey, do you know
where the wild dogs are?

You're headed in
the right direction.

Just keep going.

Thanks. What's with
those birds back there?

Oh, they just
mimic everything.

Hey, that gives me
an idea.

Wait! Wait, wait!
That's the wrong way!

I want to teach
those birds a lesson.

Here he comes.
Here he comes.

I'm ba-ack.

I'm ba-ack.
I'm ba-ack.

I'm a stupid bird.

I'm a stupid bir--oh!

Oh! Nasty
little dog!

There.
That shut them up.

And you know what? I like
walking over waterfalls.

Where's the next one?

A wild dog must be ready to
pounce at any suspicious sound.

[yawning]

Like that one.

I'll scare off whatever
vicious beast waits ahead!

No matter how terrifying.

Hmm?

I'll give this thing
my warning growl.

Grr!

Oh, I'm so frightened.

My stomach growls
louder than that.

Yeah, well, I didn't
want to scare you.

Yeah, right. Nice try.

You know I've got
killer instincts.

[grumbling]

Oh, I hate climbing down.

Why are all
the good leaves up top?

Time to move on
to the next tree.

That is if you can restrain
your killer instincts.

Look, buddy, my bite is
a lot worse than my bark.

You're just lucky you're
not what I like to eat.

You should have seen what
I did to this cat last night.

She must have been
10 feet tall,

A hundred pounds,

And I took care of her,
so you better watch out.

Underneath my fur,
my flesh is crawling.

I'm just trying to find
where the wild dogs live.

Do I look like
a wild dog to you?

I don't even
[sniff] have a tail.

[sniff] ugh.

[dogs howling]

That's it!
That's the sound!

I do not associate
with any creatures

That make
that dreadful noise.

Look, I could really
use your help.

I can't seem
to spot them,

So I thought while
you're up in a tree--

Ah, so you finally
get around to the truth.

You need me.

Can't climb trees,
can you?

I can climb
anything.

Back home I climbed
over a wall

Twice as big
as that tree.

Then you should have
no problem climbing up

And joining me for dinner.

Come on. Here we go.
Hup! Ho!

All right,
I can't do that.

I was just
trying to be tough.

Ahh...

Do you see
the wild dogs?

Let's see...

No wild dogs
on that leaf.

None over here.

Hey, what's
the big idea?

Oh, I forgot to mention.
Can't see farther than 3 feet.

You are the rudest animal
I have ever met.

Well, I may be rude,

But at least
I'm not deluded.

I don't need his help.
I don't need anyone's help.

Bawk!
I can do it--

Huh?

I can do it all on my own.

I am Napoleon. A conqueror
learns to fend for himself.

Napoleon, is that
you down there?

Stand back.
I'm about to make

A graceful,
perfect 2-point landing.

Well, it's
improved anyway.

Birdo!

Thanks to you, I can't
find my flock anywhere!

Cheer up. I have
a bird joke for you.

What does a 500-pound
parrot say?

"Polly want
a cracker now!"

"polly want
a cracker."

Hold on! Ha ha ha!

Oh,
that is a scream!

Wait a minute!
That is not funny.

That's insulting to birds.
It's just a stereotype.

Birdo, calm down!

Awk!

Ouch!

It was just a joke,
birdo.

This is no laughing
matter.

We've both
lost our homes.

This is my home!

Don't be ridiculous.
You won't last a week.

You can't even fend
for yourself.

Then teach me, birdo!
Come on!

Teach you?
What do I look like?

Ooh, millet!
Ack--gravel!

It would take too long for you
to learn how to live out here,

And I don't have time to teach
a new dog old tricks.

I'm a quick learner.

I bet it will be fun.

Fun? Ha! You know nothing
of living in the wild!

You belong back
in your doghouse!

No! I won't go back!

Out here, I feel free.
I feel like a conqueror.

At home, they don't
even call me Napoleon.

They call me--

Awk! Oh, well.

Now, what is it they call
you that's so terrible?

Well, don't
tell anyone, ok?

It's our secret.

Back home,
they call me...

Muffin.

Muffin? Ooh, my, my.

Deep voice: Muffin?
Ha ha ha!

Who's that?

Muffin!

Hey, stop making
fun of me!

Muffin...

(music) Muffin wants
to live outdoors (music)

(music) that's our life,
it isn't yours (music)

(music) go back where
your life began (music)

(music) go back
to your Muffin pan (music)

(music) Muffin,
before you get beaten (music)

(music) Muffin,
before you get eaten (music)

Don't listen
to them, Napoleon!

(music) Muffin, you better
go home, go home (music)

(music) Muffin,
you better go home (music)

(music) Muffins like it
dry and warm (music)

(music) Muffins can't
survive a Storm (music)

(music) minute that
a drizzle comes (music)

Stop it! Stop it!
[squawking]

(music) Muffin, before
you get splattered (music)

(music) Muffin, before
you get battered (music)

(music) Muffin, you better
go home, go home (music)

(music) Muffin,
you better go home (music)

[squawking]

Come here, you--

[squawking]

(music) your Muffins
got no shell (music)

(music) your Muffins don't
do vicious well (music)

(music) Muffin, before
you get roasted (music)

Stop it!

(music) Muffin, before
you get toasted (music)

(music) Muffin, you better
go home, go home (music)

(music) Muffin,
you better go home (music)

(music) what if he
trips and stumbles (music)

(music) that's how
the Muffin crumbles (music)

(music) Muffin,
you better go home (music)

(music) you better go home (music)

Go home.

[lorikeets giggling]

I'll never go home now.

I never want to hear
that name again.

Oh, no. I thought this thing
was attached to the shore.

Ohh...

Why do I always end up
in the water?

Do I look like a fish?

All right, well, at least
this thing is moving.

I'll just sit tight and wait
till it reaches the other side.

This is going
to work out just fine.

Great. Where's the wind
when you need it?

Sure, when I was
in the balloon,

It was blowing
me all over the place,

Now when I could use it...

How far do you
expect to get

Without a sail
or an oar?

Ok, so maybe I forgot
a few details.

Well, are you just gonna sit
there like a pup on a log?

Come on. Jump off.
Swim back.

Uh, I have another
secret for you, birdo.

I can't swim.

Well, of course
you can swim.

I can't.

Ever hear of
the dog paddle?

Yeah. So?

So you're a dog. Get in
the water and start paddling.

I don't know how.
I can't. I'll drown!

You can do this, Napoleon.
All you need is a little push.

Hey!

Just pretend like
you're running.

Hey, I'm swimming!

I can swim!

Once again, the bird
gets no credit.

I'm really good at this.

Look, birdo, I'm swimming!

Not bad, mmm, not bad.

Go, pup, go!

I did it!

Birdo, I'm slipping!

I can't get out!

Now, it's easy. Your
front legs are for pulling,

Your back legs
are for pushing,

So... Push!

I made it.

'Course you did. Now, if I'm
going to be your teacher,

You have to trust me.

Lesson number one--food.

Worms have very good
nutritional value,

Slugs are extremely
juicy and tender,

And these seeds are a wonderful
between-meal snack.

They're high in fiber,
and they won't fill you up.

Yuck! [spits]

This isn't
what wild dogs eat.

This isn't what
any dogs eat.

There's something you
might prefer over there.

What's to eat over there?

Oh, it's what you want.

It's what you've
been waiting for.

The food of wild dogs.

(music) happiness is hopping,
leaping (music)

(music) never sleeping,
never stopping (music)

You want me
to eat those?

You want to eat,
you gotta learn to kill.

Kill? Those little
hoppy things?

(music) legs are made
for jumping (music)

(music) feet are made
for thumping (music)

How am I supposed
to do that?

With your fangs
and your claws.

Ready to go home now?

No. I'm just
trying to figure out

Which one will be
the tastiest.

(music) bunny tails
like cotton (music)

(music) how they got that way
is long forgotten (music)

Go get 'em!

Ouch.

Ha ha! This should
teach him a lesson

About living wild.

"Little hoppy things."
ha ha ha!

Such primitive speech.
Kill!

(music) we could stop and worry (music)

(music) why we need to hurry (music)

(music) but we'd rather scurry (music)

(music) in a furry flurry (music)

(music) we're very happy rabbits (music)

(music) we're mostly
happy rabbits (music)

(music) but even happy rabbits
have self doubt (music)

(music) temperaments audacious (music)

(music) appetites voracious (music)

(music) homes
that aren't spacious (music)

(music) make us propagatious (music)

Awk!

Birdo:
(music) a wild dog must learn (music)

(music) to kill (music)

(music) some warm bunny blood (music)

(music) must spill (music)

(music) you're not
a pampered poodle (music)

(music) turn them
into rabbit strudel (music)

(music) 'cause
you won't get a meal (music)

(music) until (music)

(music) you're a wild dog (music)

(music) who's learned to kill (music)

Ha ha ha!

(music) at last
you're off your leash (music)

(music) now turn them
to bunny quiche (music)

(music) get your honker
growing hotter (music)

(music) make them scream
for Beatrix Potter (music)

(music) because
you won't get a meal (music)

(music) until (music)

(music) you're a wild dog (music)

(music) who's learned to kill! (music)

(music) hunt,
snarl and grunt (music)

(music) run,
don't have fun (music)

(music) growl, howl,
fight, bite (music)

(music) if you want
to eat your fill (music)

(music) don't play with your food,
go kill! (music)

Awk! Well,
tonight the wild dog

Goes to bed hungry.

I'll find some food.

And just how do you
plan to do that?

You expect me to find you
a can of liver chunks

And open it with my beak?

No. Here's my dinner.
Right over here.

Where?

No, that's not food
for wild dogs.

That's moss.

Well, it's
pretty tasty.

It's unnatural!
Dogs don't eat moss!

Reindeer eat moss.

Call me Rudolph.
I think it's good.

Awk! Unnatural.

[grunting]

Birdo: Lesson number 2--

You must know how to tell

Whether an animal is
friendly or dangerous.

That, for example,
is dangerous.

Aah!

A house pet!

Oh, yeah,
that was dangerous.

Why was she scared?

She thought
you were a house pet.

We learned
how awful they are.

Hateful,
vicious...

Malicious.

I'm not a house pet.
I'm a wild dog.

What did a house pet
ever do to you?

You see these scratches?
They still sting.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Those claws scraped
across my hands.

I got bit
on my back leg.

Who did this to you?

That crazy cat.

I know her. You're lucky
you only got scratched.

You bet!

Not really.
She bit off my ear.

Birdo:
Lesson number 3--weather.

If you're going
to live outside,

You must endure severe,
bitter weather conditions.

It's most important--awk!

Well, near perfect landing.

Anyway, nature
can be brutal, puppy.

I bet those little paws
are killing you.

I do not have little paws,
and they're just fine.

Of course, it's so cold
I can't really feel them.

Mmm, having second thoughts
about the wild life?

Absolutely not!

Did you know my grandfather
was a Siberian husky?

Ha ha ha!

Well, I had a friend
who was a husky.

Did he teach you
to watch out for ice?

'Cause it can be--
awk!--Slippery.

That was just
a demonstration.

It's hard to smell when
everything's covered with snow,

But I do smell something.

Well, it
certainly isn't me.

I wonder what it is.

Can we just get back
to the weather?

Listen.

What is it?

Oh, yes.

I hope you're ready
for blinding snow

And freezing fog.

Freezing fog?

It's gonna
be a big one.

[rumbling]

Awk! Napoleon, run!
Run! Awk!

[neighing]

Napoleon!

Napoleon?
Are you all right?

Where are you?

Napoleon? Napoleon?

Oh, no. Please let him
be all right.

Ohh... A Storm?

Blinding snow
and freezing fog?

It sounded
like thunder.

Do you realize you
almost got me killed?

I told you
I smelled something.

Ok, I made a mistake.
I'm not perfect.

I can't be right
every time.

Every time?!
I'd settle for once.

Where do you think
you're going?

Napoleon,
come back here!

I am not following you
this time!

That's just fine
with me!

Lesson number 4--go
with your own instincts.

And lesson number 5--
don't trust birdo!

Wait a minute...

I'm picking up something.

What is it?

I smell candy.

I don't see any kids around.

No, it can't be.
I must be imagining it.

Hey, but it's coming
from over there

In the tall grass.

But how can that be?

But it's definitely
the smell of candy,

And I'm gonna get me some!

Awk! Oh, no, he's not
going into the sugar cane!

Not my problem. He's going
to get killed in there.

I'm just gonna
sit here and watch.

No, I can't do that!

Napoleon!

Where did
that little puppy go?

You can have your worms.
I'm going for the candy.

You're in danger
out here.

When the sugar cane
gets dry--

Listen, I'm never wrong
about these things.

He's never right,
either.

Please!

Mmm! He has candy where
his brain should be!

Let him fry.

I should be going back
to my flock anyway.

Ohh...

How can sugar cane
be dangerous?

He probably means I can
get a few cavities.

Well, I'll
take my chances.

Stop!

Whoa!

Look at my eyes.
Go no further.

Your eyes...

Stay there.
Do not move.

Birdo: Napoleon!

Birdo, help!

Not that way! No one
listens to a snake.

Boy, it's getting hot.

[crackling]
uh-oh. I smell smoke.

Where there's smoke,
there's...

Napoleon!

Help!

Napoleon!

I hear you, birdo!

I'm coming!

Napoleon! Ooh!

You're heading
into the fire!

Follow my voice!

I'm coming.

Head in the direction
of my voice!

[squawking]

Birdo!

Napoleon!
Am I glad to see you!

Sorry I yelled
at you before.

I really thought
I lost you back there.

I mean, you really, really
scared the feathers off me.

Finally... Found
the yellow mouse.

Now do you understand you're
not ready for the wild?

Birdo, I just showed you
how tough I am.

I can handle anything.

I just don't want
to see you get hurt.

[growling]

I mean, if anything happened
to you, I'd feel responsible.

I'd--
[snarls]

Awk! Napoleon!
Run! Cat! Run! Cat!

Must destroy yellow mouse

And little flying mouse.

Follow me, Napoleon.

Follow me.

Mmm, hey, is that
my flock down there?

What do you know?

Birdo!
Birdo!

[squawking]

Look, it's
all my brothers!

Boy, am I glad
to see you!

Vittorio, lukino, featherico,
Roberto, Marty!

Hey, birdo!
How you doin'?

[squawking]

What's all that noise?

Sounds like birdo
found his flock.

Boy, what a noisy bunch
of birds.

[chattering]

I should let birdo
be with his flock.

I've caused him
enough trouble.

Oh, no!

Hey, watch out!
The cat's behind you!

Get out of there!
Fly away!

Great. I finally find my flock
and you scare them away.

Scared them? I just saved
them from that cat!

Napoleon, there is
no cat around here--

Cat: Shut up!

You have to learn to trust
my instincts, birdo.

Oh, mouse...

For that, yellow mouse
will die slow.

[giggles] this kitten's
really lost her mittens.

Birdo!

Birdo!

I'm over here.

Jeez, I thought you maybe flew
into a rock and were dead.

Aww, you were
worried about me?

Well, you are
my best friend out here,

And I know how bad
you are with landings.

I am great
with landings.

Sure. This is how
you land. Who--o-oa!

Oh, please.

That's enough.
Stop it!

B-aa-awk!

I am one of the greatest
landers of all times.

Oh, yeah, right.
Ha ha ha!

Birdo!

Birdo: Watch this!

I'll show you a landing.

This happens to be
one of the more

Complicated landings
in the history of--awk!

Did you hurt yourself?

Just caught
a freak tailwind.

Where does
this road lead to?

To the shore
where you landed.

This road can be

One of the most dangerous
places out here.

I know all about roads.

Lot of speeders
on this one,

And it's a lot easier
to outrun a crazed cat

Than a speeding--uh-oh!

Better get out of there!

[truck horn honks]

[honk]

[gasps] that
lizard's not moving!

Wake up!

Hey!
I think he's sleeping.

I better help him!

You stay right
where you are, puppy.

Hey!
Get out of the road!

[honking]

Oh, dear.
Reptilian road kill.

No, I think
he's all right.

Let's just
be on our way.

But he may need help.

Are you ok?

Is he breathing?

Hey, I'll give him
a little push.

Go... Away!

Touchy.

This is my stripe!

Oh, please.
He's just trying to help.

That's right.

Go away!

I'm sorry
for caring.

Aw, come on, now.
Don't be hurt.

Bawk!

Never expect gratitude from
a cold-blooded creature.

[dogs howling]

Don't listen!
Forget them, Napoleon!

Go back home!

I can't, birdo.

I've come too far
to give up now.

If I turn back,
I'll never know

What it's really
like to be wild,

And I've dreamt about
that my whole life.

Oh, you wouldn't
understand.

Oh, and why not?

Because you're a bird,
and I'm a dog.

It's a dog thing.

There isn't
a dog thing you do

That this bird
didn't teach you.

I know how helpful
you've been, birdo,

And I'm really,
really grateful,

But I'm a woofer,
and you're a tweeter.

I can't leave
you on your own.

You'll never make it.

Of course I will.

I've had the best teacher
in the whole world.

I have to find my pack, and
you belong with your flock.

Napoleon:
(music) I have to travel (music)

(music) you have to fly (music)

(music) I have the meadows (music)

(music) you have the Sky (music)

(music) up where
the clouds are (music)

(music) I glide around (music)

(music) I need to feel
my feet on the ground (music)

(music) maybe our paths
will meet someday (music)

(music) maybe somewhere
sometime (music)

(music) but I have
my rainbows waiting (music)

(music) and I have
my hills to climb (music)

Good-bye, birdo.

(music) maybe our paths
will meet someday (music)

(music) maybe somewhere
sometime (music)

(music) but I have
my rainbows waiting (music)

(music) and he has
his hills to climb (music)

Napoleon:
(music) I have my hills (music)

(music) to climb (music)

All right, now where
would there be water?

[grunting]
ohh...

Maybe that thing
knows.

It looks like
a traveling cactus.

Hey, do you know where
I can find some water?

Don't talk to me.
Ohh...

I just wanted to--ooh!

Buzz off. I'm not sharing
my water with anyone.

I'd share my water
with you.

And stop looking at me!

Ohh. Everyone makes fun
of the way I look.

Hey, I think
you look sharp.

You see?!
Typical!

No...[coughing]
I mean you look cool.

Anyone who makes fun
of you is just jealous.

I mean it.

[moaning]

Wait! Come back!

Excuse me...
What you looking for?

Unh... Ohh...

I can't dig if
you're watching me.

Unh!

I'm a good digger.

So what?

[grunting]

It'll be easier
if I help.

See? There's
your water.

Oh, thank you.

But now I can't drink it!

You're touching it
with your dog lips!

Ohh...

Ouch... Ouch...

Hot sand. Hot.

Gotta find shade.
Must be a tree somewhere.

[barking]

Mmm...
Boop-be-de-boop.

[barking]

Mmm...

Boop-be-de-boop.

Boop-be-de-boop.

Mmm... Woof.

[howling]

That's what's
been howling?

That's what
I left home for?

Be-loop.

Be-loop.

Be--[gagging]

[spits]

What is that thing?

[spitting]

Were the wild dogs
I've been hearing that?!

Ar-ar-aroo!

Excuse me,
that howling...

Is that you or
are there wild dogs?

[clears throat]
what, you mean this?

Ar-ar-aroo-be-loop!

Aroo!

Aaah!

Ha ha ha!

What did you think?

That was you?!

Sound like a dog?
I can do others.

Here's an elephant.

Aroo!
Ha ha ha!

You can smell
the peanuts, huh?

Listen to this.
A cat.

Meow.
Be-loop.

Please, no cats.

And now--
stop!

A cow.

Moo!

Here,
a 2,000-pound cow!

Moo!

Moo! Moo!

Moo! [echoing]

I am such an idiot.

All this time, I've been
chasing after a barking lizard.

There's
no wild dogs anywhere.

I've been running
after something

That doesn't even exist.

Now I've got no home...

No wild life...

I don't have my mother.

Birdo was right.

I don't have the instincts
to make it out here.

[crying]
I'm a dumb house pet

Who doesn't know a retriever
from a reptile.

I don't deserve
the name of Napoleon.

Not a crumb like me.

[sobbing]

I'm just a Muffin after all.

[thunder]

Storm!
Inside!

Now!
Hurry!

Hey, a dog. Dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

No, he's not,
but he will be

If he doesn't get
out of the rain.

Nobody ever died
from the rain.

You've never been
in a desert rainstorm.

Very dangerous.

I'd invite you to my place,
but it would be a little tight.

Hey, move over!
Stop pushing!

Make room!
I smell a dog!

I hope your father
doesn't bring it home.

[thunder]

Where can I go?

Somewhere there must
be a place big enough

For me to fit.

[thunder]

[thunder]

Cold, drafty, and damp.

Uh-oh, my jungle instincts
tell me

That there's
dangerous animals in here.

Is it mother?

Is that you, mom?

Hello?

No, it's a stranger.

Get out or we'll attack!

You're--you're
puppies!

Just turn around
slow and leave,

And no one
will get hurt.

I don't think
he's listening.

Ok, buster,
on 3 I pounce!

1...2...
You're in for it! 3!

Grr--whoa! Whoa! Aah!

I'll get him.
You better--whoa--

You better watch out

Or I'll tear you
apart--oh!

Oh!

Nancy, watch out!
He's coming at you!

Listen! Listen!

I won't hurt you.
You're lost puppies like me.

Mother said not to let
anybody in the cave!

Your mother's gone?
That's great!

Don't you want to play
and stay up late?

I think
he's ok, Sid.

Come on. Huh?

I promise nothing
bad will happen

While I'm watching
over you.

Come on!

Nothing bad, huh?

So that's a good
kind of flood?

Huh? Flood?

Nancy!

Help! Sid!

Help me!

I can't hold on!

Nancy, can you hear me?
Hang onto the rock!

Help!
I can't hold on!

Oof!

Keep talking!
I'll come and get you!

Um, Sid, are you ok?

Yeah, but
where's Nancy?

Help! I can't--

[coughing]

Oh, no!
I don't hear her!

Help, Sid!

Mommy! Aah!

Hang on, Nancy!

I'm going to save her!

No, no! I'll go!

Where are you,
Nancy?

I'm over here!

Keep yelling!
I'll follow your voice!

I hear you!
Hurry! Hurry!

Don't let go, Nancy!

I'm over here, but
this rock is slippery!

Keep talking, Nancy,
I hear you!

I hear you, too!

Hurry!
Please, hurry!

The water's
getting higher!

You're gonna
be fine, Nancy.

How?

Climb on my back.
I'll get you outta here.

I don't want to!
I'm scared!

You're safe
with me.

You said nothing would happen
while you were watching us!

Nancy, climb on my back.

[panting] now!

Ok. Whoa!

Nancy!

Get away!
I'm fine here!

You'll be underwater
in a minute!

Get on my back!

I'll fall in!

I won't let you
drown, I promise.

Pretend I'm a boat.
All aboard!

1...2...

3!

Ok, here we go,
sailing up the River.

Don't let go!

You're just
like a sea captain,

You know that,
Nancy?

Hang on, Nancy!

Napoleon:
A brave sea captain!

Don't let go
of him, Nancy!

I'm slipping!

Hang on to your boat.
Almost at your dock.

My dock?

Sure. Every boat
has a dock.

This one's yours.

She's slipping!

Ok, let go of me, Nancy,
and grab onto the dock.

It's slippery!

You can do it.

Your front legs
are for pulling,

Your back legs are
for pushing. Now push!

Push!

He did it!

Do this, Nancy. Brr!

Get rid of all the water.

Like this?

Nancy,
look who's back!

It's a wild dog.

Of course it is.

It's our mother!

I can't believe it.

[gasps]

I've been with
the wild dogs all along.

[woman's voice]
Sid? Nancy?

Are you all right?

Mother: Who's this?

Gosh!

How long was I out?

Whole night.

I never got to thank you
for saving me.

Mother: I'm the one
who should be grateful.

How can I thank you for
saving my little darlings?

I wanna stay with you,

Be a wild dog.

What about your home?

I belong here.

Sid:
Oh, can't he stay?

Nancy: Oh, mommy,
please let him stay.

Mother:
Of course he can.

I'm a wild dog.

At last!

I knew this is where
I belonged.

This can be his new home
until he sorts things out.

Sid and Nancy: Yay!

Nancy: We can play
new games!

Sid: And do new tricks!

Nancy: Yay!

[chuckles]

You jump in.

I wanna be Napoleon.
It's my turn.

You were Napoleon
last time.

Nancy: Was not?

Sid: Was too!

I think they're
very fond of you.

[arf]

We've been in here
a long time.

When do we get to howl
and hunt and stuff?

Wake up, Napoleon.

Today's the day.

And it'll be
just the 2 of us.

I'm right behind ya.

Isn't he
just the coolest?

He's ok.

Tell me, child,

Why did
you leave home?

I wanted to go where
there were no rules.

And what did you find?

Well, I found
a lot of rules

About living
with other animals

And being on your own.

And what did you want
to do out here?

I wanted to hunt my food
and kill it.

And did
you enjoy that?

No. I ate moss instead.

Hmm.

Anything else you wanted?

Well, I wanted
to stay up late

And have fun
all the time.

And did you have fun
all the time?

No. Sometimes
it was scary,

And lots of times
I was lonely.

Then why do you want
to be out here?

I wanna be a wild dog

So I can be really
brave and fearless.

But you've been that
all along.

You couldn't
have come this far

Without being fearless.

And it was your bravery

That saved Sid and Nancy.

In your heart,

You've been a wild dog
all along, Napoleon.

Guess I have.

Is there something more
you want?

Well...

Yes.

Tell me.

I want...

I want...

To go home.

I miss my mom.

What if I told you

I had a friend
who could take you back?

Really?

Come along.

Sorry, possum.

Well, well.

Oh, not him.

My favorite
dining companion,

The wild dog himself.

No! I'm Napoleon,

Wild--whoop--house pet,

Conqueror
of the outback

And the backyard.

I can run fearless
across waterfalls.

Lorikeets: I can run
fearless across waterfalls.

I can run fearless
across waterfalls.

Napoleon:
Little birds suck.

Little birds su... Hey!

Now what do I do?

There's gotta be a way
to get back.

There it is!

My home!

How can I get across
the water?

Yes!

There's the answer.

Look at that!

Amazing!

It's still there.

I'll just go back
the way I came.

Hello.

Who's out there?

Hello!

Excuse me,
but this is my basket.

I came over in it.

It's my basket.

My basket!

It is not!

Now, go on. Out!

Hey, quit
your shoving!

Hey, quit
your shoving.

I'm sorry.

You're a long way
from home, aren't you?

My family
came on vacation,

But I wanna streak through
the water like a shark,

Stalk my prey
like a tiger.

I am Conan,

Killer penguin!

I am young!

I'm alive!

I want more from
life than tundra.

I'm not ever
gonna go back.

Sounds like you Haven't learned
where your home is.

Penguin: My home is
wherever there's excitement

And adventure.

Tough talk
for a puny penguin.

Ha ha ha.

Hey, watch
who you call puny.

Look, I was
a lot like you.

I thought
I had to run away

So I could be
a wild beast.

Is this gonna be
a long story?

Hey, just listen, ok?

It all started
at a party in my...

I learned my lesson,

And you will, too.

Now, I'm gonna
get in this thing,

And--and wait
for the tide to come in.

Unh.

Go ahead. I don't need
the basket.

Conan is never leaving.

[noisy voices]

What's that?

What--oh, no!

Oh, no!

It's my mother!

I am telling you
he came down here!

Quick!
You gotta hide me!

Mother: Pengi!

Maybe I can hide
behind these rocks.

Pengi!

Oh, no! Too late!

Pengi,
come home with us.

I don't need
this aggravation!

Father:
What are you, nuts?

You trying to give us
all a heart attack?

My name's not Pengi,
it's Conan,

And I'm not leaving!

Pengi? Ha ha ha!

Everyone,
just leave me alone!

Father: This is the worst
vacation we've ever taken.

Mother: It is not
the worst vacation.

What about Alaska?
Remember Alaska?

The otter gave you
a cough.

What about Alaska?

Ha ha! Hey, Pengi,
wait up!

No one understands!

Mother:
Some vacation!

Every night
was formal night.

Oh, a dog!
Just what I need.

Father:
What is that, a dog?

Sibling:
Dog! Look out!

Father: Get away from me,
you ball of fluff!

You flea hotel!

Mother: Would you calm down?
Your blood pressure.

Would you calm down.
Calm down! Calm down!

Napoleon: Look, guys,

If you can't convince
Pengi to go home,

Then I will.

Mother:
He won't listen!

It's like talking
to an iceberg.

Pengi, you're staying
with me tonight!

Father: Don't you have
a cousin named iceberg?

Mother: That's Weisberg.
Weisberg! Weisberg!

Forget it.

Still think this is
where you belong, huh?

You betcha.

Anyone gets in my way,

I'm gonna give them
some of this!

Make 'em beg for mercy.

Hey, I like a good brawl.

Trust me,

You're better off
at home.

Go back to where
you belong.

Back to icebergs
and permafrost?

Forget about it.

This is my time
to howl.

Awoo!

You're worn out
and tired.

Hup.

You had your fling
in the wild.

But I'm gonna live.

I'm gonna find
my adventure.

Woof!

Woof, woof, woof!

[growling]

That sound,
could it be...

Hello?

Somebody else
up here?

[growl]

She's back!

Pengi!

Anyone for thrills?

Quiet, dummy.

Pengi: I may
come from the cold,

But I'm hot for action.

[growling]

[thunder]

Gotta save
that dumb bird!

Time to rid my house
of the mouse.

All right. Come on.
Let's go hunt down a few.

But I've found one.

An unusual
black and white mouse.

Leave the penguin alone!

Well, if it isn't
Muffin mouse.

[hisses]

Huh?

The mouse dies!

Well, there is such a thing
as too much adventure.

Just you and me now,
wacko.

Seems unfair,
9 lives against one.

I gotta get her
near the water.

[growling]

Here, kitty, kitty,
kitty!

Come on!

Bull's-eye!

Huh?

[hissing]

You'll pay for that!

Ok. It's payday.

[growling]

Come on! Come after me!

[hissing]

No.

Running out of lives?

Still have plenty more!
Come, let me slash you!

Ooh! S-slash you
with my...

Aah!

Oh!

[thunder]

I knew that cat
was over the edge.

Look at that.

Guess she used up
the lives she had left.

What about that penguin?

Hey, Pengi,
you down there?

[hisses]

What? Huh?

[growling]

Hyah!

Ha ha ha!

Ohh...

That's it.
No more games.

Games?

Look down, rodent.

What?

There's your cold,
blue death.

Well, thanks
just the same.

I'm not in the mood
for a moonlight swim.

Jump, mousie!

Look, you left your home
and gone mad.

[hisses]

I'm a pet dog.
I made the same mistake.

[hisses]

Living in the wild has made
you see mice everywhere.

You wanna be home
catching real mice.

[hisses]

But I am at home.

Napoleon:
You are insane.

And I don't want you
in my house!

Yo! Fraidy-cat!

You wanna fight me?

What?!

I'll peck your eyes out!
I'll flap your face in!

You're next!

All right. Tomorrow night,
right here.

I'll kick your tail!

It's over for you, pussycat!
I'll fix you!

But first I...

Aah!

Ha ha!

No!

No, no, no!

So long, sucker!

I'll be waiting for you
here tomorrow night!

Ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha!

[dog howls
in distance]

I really am a wild dog...

When I need to be.

[meows]

Great job we did
on that cat, huh?

Well, what are you gonna
do now without your basket?

Hey!
I'm talking to you.

I don't know, ok?

I just have
to find a way

To get back
to my home,

To get back
to my mother.

I miss her.

Hey, what's that?

Over there.

I don't see anything.

I'm telling ya,
down there!

For Heaven's sake,

Must you bounce
like that?

I have
a delicate gullet.

Napoleon!

It's birdo!

Wow! I thought
you might be here.

Napoleon: I'm trying
to find my way home.

Finally came
to your senses, eh?

Turtle: Don't you
ever clip your toenails?

Hmmph. A snapping turtle.

Looks like I wasn't wrong
about everything.

No, you were right
all along.

I don't know
how to get back.

Napoleon: So long, birdo!
Don't forget to visit!

Birdo: I'll fly over
during migration!

See you around, uh,
what was it? Napoleon?

You're the best bird
in the world, birdo--

And I'm never wrong
about these things!

[clucking]

I'm gonna miss
that puppy.

You wouldn't believe
what he's been through.

You know, when he first
came out here,

He thought
he was a wild beast.

Wild beast?
You mean, like me?

You?!

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Oh! Muffin, is that you?

Mom!

Mommy!

Mom!

Well, come here.

Come here.

Let me put my paws
around you.

Mom, it's me!
I'm back! I'm back!

You won't believe
where I've been!

Come here. You didn't
get hurt, did you?

What happened to you?

Everything
happened to me.

Oh! You can't get
over that wall!

Are you kidding?
Piece of cake.

I want you to promise me

You'll never run away
like that again.

I won't.

And I want you
to promise me something.

Ha ha.
Anything, darling.

Anything.

I want you
to call me Napoleon.

From now on,

You're my Napoleon.

Ahh.

Not a mouse, a dog.

Dog must die!
