The Wishmas Tree (2020) - full transcript

A young possum's misguided wish for a white Wishmas freezes her entire hometown of Sanctuary City and threatens all who live there.

It all began many, many,

many, many, many, many, many,

many, many years ago.

As if felled by some

malevolent force,

the very stars rained down...

And the land of our ancestors

once warm and bright

with beauties rich and rare,

was plunged into perpetual cold

and darkness.

No sun meant no food.

Famine gripped the land.

Animalkind was at the mercy of

a terrifying new threat...

extinction!

Many didn't survive...

But others...

they found a way!

The young possum found refuge

inside the fallen star.

Little did he know,

he was not the only one.

Had those younglings given in

to their instincts,

they'd have eaten each other

right there and then.

Luckily for them,

the fallen star

had created a sanctuary

from extinction's wrath...

A place where to survive,

animals needed

to trust one another.

With a furious extinction

approaching,

the younglings had no escape.

In the face of doom

and desperation,

the younglings used the seed

to make a selfless wish.

A momentous, stupendous,

tremendous wish

for the survival

of all animals.

And as quick as it came,

woosh! Extinction retreated

from the land...

and the Wishmas tradition

was born!

On this very spot where that

star had fallen,

in this very chamber

where those Founding Children

made their wish, our ancestors

protected that small seedling.

And now, many, many,

many years later,

it has flourished

into the Wishmas Tree.

Ah.

Ahem!

And around it, so too did

our home, Sanctuary City!

We learnt

to embrace nature

to build

our perfect paradise,

to create different

neighborhoods,

building homes for all species.

Sanctuary City is a safe space

for all within it.

Where animals

of all shapes and sizes

can live peacefully

with one another.

A city where we live

by one simple rule.

Do not eat one another!

No matter how yummy they look!

This city is the only truly

safe place for animalkind.

Our gigantic crater walls

stand tall,

guarding us

from the ghastly dangers of...

the wild. Boo!

A place only fools

dare to go.

A graveyard where extinction

rules over all

transforming any creature

into bloodthirsty beasts

who will eat you up.

Few have left to the WILD.

None have ever returned.

Therefore, we must remember

to always live according to

the founding principles we honor

with the Wishmas Ceremony

every year...

we are stronger

when we are together!

And once here, well,

who would ever want to leave

a paradise such as this? Hmm?

Hello, fellow adventurers!

My name's Kerry Ringtail,

wildlife expert,

and today we're in the WILD,

outside Sanctuary City.

Now, do I have something special

for you!

Come! Shh, shh, shh.

We've stumbled across

a silverback gorilla.

We have to be extra still.

Gorillas have amazing vision

and are super agile!

Look out!

Behind this rock

is the most venomous creature

in all the WILD.

One drop of venom

from those sharp fangs and...

Ow, the poison!

This is my favorite predator

in all the WILD!

It's a polar bear!

Ahh, it's attacking!

Look out! Roar!

It's too late for me!

Roar! No! Roar!

Get off! Ahh!

What a boring city!

- Kerry!

- Ahh! Petra!

There you are! I've been looking

everywhere for you.

- What are you doing?

- I've been adventuring!

Exploring the WILD!

Meeting the wild creatures.

"How do you do?

Ohh, what a lovely coat."

Yeah...

Okay, Kerry. Let's go.

Just because

you're the only possum

who's terrified of heights.

Take a risk once in a while,

Petra.

Whoa!

There's more to this world

than Sanctuary City, Petra,

and I want to see it!

Well, I want you

to stop mucking around

because we're

late for the ceremony

and dad's waiting for us.

The ceremony! I need a wish!

Well, it's not me

who's gonna make us late,

slow... poke!

Because I'm taking a shortcut...

- Kerry!

- You're right.

Dad's gonna freak out

if we're late.

Don't you dare.

You should really stop

slowing us down, Petra.

Kerry!

Petra!

Buh-bye!

Kerry! Argh!

Weeeeeee!

To the Wishmas Tree! Now!

Punch it!

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

How's it hanging?

Faster!

No, no, no!

Woo-hoo!

Hey-hey!

- Winner, winner!

- Yeah!

That was awesome!

From the deep and dark

monsters from the north

and south.

Enter if you dare

into terrors of the wild.

Terms and conditions to apply..

Ooh.

Mm-mm.

Whoa.

Wow.

Hey! What are you doing here?

I have it! I have my wish!

I have it. I have my wish!

Kerry!

Where are you girls?

We're gonna be late

for the ceremony...

Dad!

Dad! I have my wish.

- I have my wish!

- Hey!

Woo! That was a good one!

I know what I'm going to wish!

I want to see the snow!

We could have a white Wishmas.

We could throw snowballs

and, and do snow angels.

Oh, Kerry, you know it's too hot

to snow in Sanctuary City.

No! Not in Sanctuary City.

I wanna go to the WILD!

Where's there's real snow

and drop bears and terrors!

Well,

I have a feeling this year

you're gonna get something

much better.

Now, possums, it's wishing time!

- Ready to make your wish?

- Yes!

Dad, I'm 14.

You're never too old

to believe in magic.

Quick, quick, quick, inside!

I have a feeling some wishes

might be coming true

this Wishmas!

Woo-hoo!

I gotta get to the front!

And so the main event.

The Wishing!

Excuse me? Sorry! Whoops.

Ooh. Excuse me? Sorry! Whoops!

Now, every child plucks one seed

head from the Wishmas Tree.

Not two. Not twenty-two.

Just one.

When I say make your wish,

the more generous, the better

then blow those seeds

for all you're worth.

Are you ready?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Woo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!

But remember, we must always

leave one seed head on the tree

so it can blossom next year.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever,

ever, ever, ever

pluck the last seed

from the tree. Got it?

Ooh. Yes.

Then I, Yarra,

keeper of the Wishmas Tree

say let The Wishing commence!

That one. Uh, that one!

Oh, no, that one!

Oh, come on, Kerry! Pick one!

Yes! This one is perfect.

Oh, thank you!

Hm.

You all have your seeds, yes?

And the final seed

remains in the tree.

And so the time has come!

Time to wish your wishes

in the true spirit of Wishmas!

I wish people didn't

think I was so scary,

it's just my teeth.

I wish

I had a penguin friend

who I could wear tuxedos with.

What am I supposed to do again?

I can't understand

anything that lizard is saying.

I wish...

I wish I could see the WILD.

Come on. Ha, ha!

Yes.

I beat you, beat you, beat you!

You're the fastest possum alive,

Kerry!

Yes. Kerry, you're the best!

You two are about to become

the luckiest possums

in all of Sanctuary City!

Da da da daaaaa!

Happy Wishmas, girls!

Whoa!

Oh, yeah!

Wow! What is it, dad?

Can I open it? Is it ice skates?

Or a sled?

It's an igloo!

I don't know... It's a mystery!

This is so much better

than those sweaters

you bought us last Wish...

Wait, you love those sweaters!

Had the bell on and everything.

Well, this year, I wanted to do

the best for you both!

I wanted to give you the world!

So I figured, what the hey!

I'll... I'll just go ahead

and give it to you!

One of a kind, non-refundable...

I'll... I'll just unwrap it

for you.

Haha! It's our very first TV!

It's a TV!

Now you can travel

all around the world,

from the safety

of our own living room.

Look, I'll show you.

And here in Sanctuary City...

This isn't going

to see the world!

I know! Isn't it great?

Here she is now,

Pelican DeGeneres.

This is not what I wished for!

I actually thought

I'd get to go on an adventure!

To see the WILD!

That stupid TV is cheating!

Wishmas is a lie!

- Kerry...

- Kerry, just stop it!

Maybe before you run off to

the WILD and get yourself eaten,

you should learn to appreciate

home a little more.

Well, why don't you

let me get eaten

and then you can have the TV

as your sister instead?

At least the TV would

be less annoying than you!

You only like it

because it's boring like you!

Girls, let's just have some

Wishmas damper...

Ugh.

Ugh!

Mmm.

Huh? Hm.

Hey...

Don't cross it.

Okay... It's just,

I know how much you like them.

I'll leave it here just in case.

I told you not to cross it.

Okay, okay.

Look, I shouldn't have

yelled at you downstairs.

- Mmm, I'm used to it...

- Come on.

Do you think I enjoy

chasing you around the city?

Do you think I like

having to look after you...

all the time?

I'm not trying to baby you.

Just... why can't you be

a little more responsible?

I'm gonna be stuck here for

the rest of my life, aren't I?

Kerry, Sanctuary City

is our home.

Our family. Our friends.

Our entire lives are right here.

Don't you see that?

You at least have friends.

Oh, Kerry...

You don't have to run away

for things to change. Okay?

Rawr!

Hm?

If I can't leave

to explore the WILD

I'm gonna bring

the WILD to me...

Da-a-ad!

Dad! Dad!

Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad! Dad!

Come look!

Dad! Come look!

What do you mean I'm a bear?

I don't have

any koalaifications...

Look! Loo-ook!

What the hey...

Whoa! Wheee!

Huh? What?

Hey, what's all the noise

about... Ow.

What...

Come on in.

The snow's fine!

I did it! I did it,

I did it. I did it!

I did it.

Whoa.

Ah!

Ah.

- Wow.

- Wow.

- Aah!

- Woo-hoo!

Mm? Hm.

Huh? Argh!

Gah! Ow! Oo-ee! Ugh...

Oh!

This is awesome!

My wish came true!

A white Wishmas.

All thanks to me!

- Oh...

- I'm okay.

The Wishmas Tree is...

Dying.

Yarra?

Quite the sight, isn't it?

It'll probably all melt away

in a day or two.

Wouldn't you say, Stick?

Unless, of course, there might

be more to it than that.

Like if someone had been foolish

enough to, let's say,

pluck the last seed?

What's that, you say?

Someone might have tempted

the ancient evil forces

of Extinction

to come to Sanctuary City?

To open the gates to the

monstrous beast

that seeks the destruction

of all life as we know it!?

Uhh...

Yeah, right. Gotta go, Yarra!

Kerry, the ringtail possum.

You must fix what you have done.

Of course,

saving the Wishmas Tree

would mean embarking

on a terrifying quest

outside of Sanctuary City.

The most dangerous adventure

imaginable.

Hm...

Mm.

Yarra!

I know what I did was wrong,

but I'm ready to do

what is right!

Are you now?

Whoa-oa!

Hm.

We're finally here!

The WILD!

♪ Kerry and Yarra on an

adventure exploring the WILD ♪

♪ Doo doo doo doo ♪♪

I've actually learnt everything

about the WILD!

Did you know there is a giant

lizard called the Megalania

that can shoot blood

out of its eyeballs?

And... and did you know

the biggest ever wombat

lives out here,

with two giant front teeth

that can crush a bowling ball?

Mash mash! And it can shoot fire

from its mouth

and its poop comes out

in giant cubes!

And then, the seahorses,

they hold each other's tails

so they don't get lost! Naw!

What's wrong?

Is something there?

Is it a polar bear?

If you stop asking questions

for one second,

maybe I can answer one of them.

Mm. Okay, can you at least tell

me where we're going?

But also, should I or should I

not eat the yellow snow?

Should not eat it!

Here! Listen very closely.

Here is Sanctuary City,

with the Wishmas Tree

at its center,

and the crater walls around it.

We are here!

Wow, you're good! Nice detail.

Thanks.

But Stick's the real artist.

Now, Kerry the ringtail possum,

even in the WILD,

there are areas

that sane animals dare not go...

A terrifying place known as...

The Forbidden Swamp!

It's a dead place,

a smeared booger

on the landscape,

ruled by bloodthirsty beasts.

Beasts?

Beasts who use your bones

as toothpicks

and your feet for ear warmers!

If you survive this

unsurvivable quagmire,

across the swamp is the ghastly

smog-filled marshes,

known as the Misty Muds!

A bottomless bog

that incarcerates

the spirits of the dead in an

inescapable watery purgatory!

And if somehow, you aren't

imprisoned there for eternity...

We must pass through

the Gorge of Near Black

to find

what we are searching for.

The fabled Sister Wishmas Tree.

Our holy Grail

to undo this terrible curse.

Legend tells us of a single seed

that will sprout on the tree

to grant a wish.

But not just any wish.

Only the most caring,

the most thoughtful wish,

will be granted by its magic...

- Just one problem.

- Yeah?

This could all be a lie!

What? Why?

I have not seen the Sister tree.

Stick has not seen it.

We venture only by legends.

All those who have tried the

same quest have never returned.

But what I do know is that this

is the only way

to restore Sanctuary City

back to the way it was!

I'm proud of you, Kerry.

It takes a brave possum to fix

what they have wronged.

Remember, it's not

how we make mistakes,

but how we correct them

that defines us.

Ready?

Let's go!

This way!

Oh. That way!

We must hurry,

Kerry the ringtail possum.

For if the snow

reaches the Sister Wishmas Tree,

I fear it may be too late

for all of us.

Whoa-oa, get a sniff of this!

The taste of adventure

isn't always so sweet, eh,

Kerry the ringtail possum?

Especially when it farts in my

mouth...

Welcome, scrawny one!

We don't often

get visitors around here.

Kind of you to show up

just in time for lunch.

Ignore him, young one.

The cane toad's sole purpose

is to bring misery to others.

Now we're talking!

I know you!

I read about you in my book.

But I've never seen a cane toad

in the flesh before!

What? Huh? Who are you?

Kerry!

Stay away from that thing!

You have stumbled into your

worst nightmare, little one.

Fact, cane toads have one of the

smallest brains of any animal...

It's the size of a peanut

in this noggin!

What? It's of average size.

And they can crush their victims

in a blink of an eye

with their abs of steel.

Hey! I'm... I'm sitting down.

What are all these things

on your back?

Food crumbs?

I will get them off for you!

Hey! Hey! Stop that!

Ahem... Focus. Focus. You. Are.

Scary...

Okay, okay.

This is the Forbidden Swamp.

A place of death, fear

and more death.

Ruled by the almighty

our murderous leaders.

An atrocious tribe we call

"Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua! Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua! Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua! Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua! Hua whaa nua!

Hua whaa nua! Hua whaa nua!

That girl!

What is that sound!

How dare you offend our leaders?

They will not take kindly

to your singing.

Umm...

I'll be the judge of that.

Take us to them!

Kerry! No!

As you wish, little possum.

Go on, then. They will be

excited to eat you...

I mean, I mean

meet you. Meet you.

Yarra, look! A shortcut.

Kerry, wait! Oh, what is wrong

with that possum?

Enjoy your stay, however short!

Ew-w-w!

- Ah.

- Shhh.

Stay close, little one.

Calm down, Stick.

The leaders must be in there.

That path will only lead

to unimaginable terrors.

Well, I'll lead the way then!

Why do I even try?

Aah!

Petra?

What...

What are you doing here?

No! What are you doing here!

We are going home... now!

No, let go of me!

We are going!

The only place you're

going to is butt-face city!

No way!

Is that a...

Drop bear!

- That's a drop bear?

- I thought they weren't real.

They're real, alright.

Real cute!

Careful, young ones.

What? Don't touch it, Kerry.

What are they gonna do?

Cwuddle us to death?

If we get eaten by drop bears,

I'm going to kill you.

What's that? Mm, yes!

I think you could be

quite correct.

Are you familiar

with the concept of the Yo-Yo?

Then do what I do.

I don't know if I can do this.

Don't worry. I've got this!

Ahh!

Ah!

Oh.

Ah.

Ah!

Oh, no, you don't!

You have bear-ly made it

out of that one!

Aw-w-w!

Nope! Not working on me!

Move! Quickly!

While there's an opening!

- But where?

- Into the belly of the beast!

What?

The mouth!

He means through the mouth!

Ohh... Uh-oh!

Whoa

Kerry: Woohoo!

Huh?

Huh? What?

Woo-hoo!

- That was awesome!

- Kerry!

- What are you doing out here?

- Huh?

Sanctuary City

is completely frozen

and you're in the WILD,

fighting drop bears

with an old lizard!

What are you up to?

Eh, promise you won't be mad?

Oh, I promise.

Fine. I may have plucked

the last seed head

from the Wishmas Tree and caused

the whole snow thing to happen.

Oh, Kerry!

Hey!

You said you wouldn't be mad!

Now I have to cross

the Misty Muds,

pass through

the Gorge of Near Black

and find the Sister Wishmas Tree

to make a wish...

but not just any wish.

Only the most caring,

the most thoughtful wish

to turn everything back

to the way it was,

or Extinction will destroy

all life as we know it!

You are unbelievable!

Oh, right, I forgot.

You don't believe

in any of this magic.

So, I guess we'll just leave it

up to the believers then

just me and my new buddy, Yarra!

Uh... Yarra?

Ohh...

- Uh...

- Huh.

Hello.

Yarra! You should know better!

Why would you tell her

to come on this quest?

Don't blame him!

He wouldn't hurt a fly.

Listen, here are our options.

We can either go back home

and all freeze to death

or we die on an amazing quest

to save the city!

So... what's it gonna be?

Both of those options suck!

Well, what else can we do?

I mean, what's your plan?

I messed up

and I need your help to fix it.

Argh!

Fine.

Yes!

Huh? Huh? What?

Well, let's get going, slowpoke!

The adventure continues!

♪ Kerry and Yarra... ♪

♪ And Petra on an adventure ♪

♪ Exploring the wild ♪

♪ Going to the Misty Muds ♪♪

Ahead, little possums,

is the Misty Muds,

where the spirits of the dead,

those long extinct,

walk the Earth.

We'll spend the night here.

We must be rested

to tackle the Misty Mud...

Rest? Rest?

We need to keep moving!

- We rest.

- Argh.

Ugh!

You're a real stick in the mud,

you know that?

For now, though,

you must wait here.

You dare not follow where I go.

I'm not afraid, Yarra.

I can go anywhere you can.

You can trust me!

I'm going to, you know...

Uh, I'm going to do a poo!

Oh, oh, oh!

I... I see.

Uh, well, yes, I, uh...

dare not follow on this,

uh, occasion.

Oh!

Yarra, you know so much

about the WILD.

Have you been here before?

We should tell them.

They have a right to know.

Oh! Tell us! Tell us!

Please?

Please, please, please, please,

please, please, please, please!

Okay.

I was once a young lizard.

Much taller.

Old age really

does shrink you down.

I mean, I was barely hatched

from my egg.

I lived a tough life

in a big family.

Hiding from

all manner of beasts.

Wolves, mud spirits!

And giant eagles!

Karr-karr! Karr-karr!

Karr-karr!

Sorry.

This was a time

where Extinction ruled.

A time where you couldn't wish

for happiness.

Only hope you weren't next

on his list.

It was a place

of only sadness.

What? When did that happen

to Sanctuary City?

We never learnt about this.

No, young one!

I do not speak

of Sanctuary City.

I speak of a place where

predators and prey ruled.

A place you call...

the WILD!

Wow!

No way!

You're from the WILD?

Call me what you may.

I wanted the same as you, Kerry.

Change!

I wanted this life of death

to end.

I put it into my head that the

only way to change my world

was to find the legendary

Sister Wishmas Tree.

I ventured there

to make a wish,

to relinquish my people from

the clutches of Extinction.

But, of course, I failed.

I was far from ready.

I underestimated

the mud spirits.

Fortunately, my father

rescued me from their grip.

But in doing so,

fell victim to them himself.

I never saw him again.

Stick is the only family

I have left.

I selfishly thought

I could change the world,

and paid the price.

I ran away from my family

and stumbled across a safe haven

called Sanctuary City.

I'm sorry, Yarra.

I learnt I was never destined to

be the one to change things.

I learnt the only way to defeat

the powers of Extinction

is if we all work together.

Mm.

Are you scared?

Of course not!

I'm not scared.

I've been preparing for this

my whole life.

Good, because I'm absolutely

"Petrafied."

Pet... Petra-fied.

Petrified?

Please don't be mad at me.

Again.

I just didn't want you

to keep seeing me

as your bratty little sister.

I'm not mad, Kerry.

I'm upset 'cause you didn't

tell me anything!

You ran off on your own!

I... I could have helped you.

I was going to!

But I just...

I wanted to fix my mistake.

I care about the city,

but really,

I just wanted to show you

that I could be responsible.

You know?

So you would actually like me.

I know I'm just a sister to you,

but also, I, I really want you

to be my friend.

That's all I've ever wanted.

Oh, Kerry.

I worry about you all the time.

Because you're the only sister

I have, and I can't lose that.

But, being my sister means

having a best friend

you can never get rid of.

Whatever you do,

I'll always be there for you.

I can't promise to solve all

your problems, but...

I can promise you won't ever

have to face them alone.

You hear that, Misty Muds?

- We're coming for you!

- Yeah!

Uh, you better, uh,

watch your mud 'cause...

Um, I'm not very good at this.

No!

Quiet!

What is it, Yarra?

Their eyes!

Why are they glowing?

They're under

Extinction's control.

Quick! Follow the stairs

down to the Misty Muds.

Find somewhere to hide!

Whoa, wait!

What are you...

I have to greet our visitors.

- Now, go!

- Come with us!

Proceed without me and watch out

for the lights that glow blue!

- The blue lights?

- That's what I said!

Now, go!

Oh, just like old times,

eh, Stick?

Kerry! Come on!

Kerry! Come on!

P... Petra?

Petra?

The Wishmas Tree!

I'm home!

The Founding Children?

Our wish

has been forgotten.

Huh?

Wait, what wish?

We wished

for safety for all animals.

No! I will fix this.

I will wish everything

back to the way it was.

It is too late,

Kerry the Ringtail Possum.

Your world is lost.

Extinction is coming!

Petra.

Petra, wake up!

What?

Has Yarra come back?

It's the snow!

It's catching up to us!

Oh, no!

We're running out of time.

There's no time to lose.

Let's go!

Kerry, uh, shouldn't we wait

for Yarra?

Yarra said if the snow catches

us, we have to keep going.

He knows...

Kerry.

We should go.

Now!

No, no, no, no, no!

Huh?

Whoa!

Kerry!

What are you doing?

Put that thing down!

It's okay!

Don't be afraid.

Aww! Look at him!

Look at him!

Put it down!

I'm gonna name you...

Frederick!

Actually, nah.

How about Kenny?

Kevin? Floyd?

Bruce? Bernard!

Bernard the Drop Bear!

How do you like your name,

Bernard?

That is a wild creature!

Just like the ones

that attacked Yarra!

Do you see any red eyes?

He isn't evil,

he's just scared.

He wants to cuddle!

Well, maybe that's his plan.

And then later, he'll carve you

up in your sleep!

Whoa.

Look, can we please keep him?

He's lost,

and he needs someone.

No!

One hundred percent, no way!

Just leave him here!

He'll find his way home.

We need to keep moving!

Quickly. Come here.

Oh!

Oi! Stop wriggling!

Kerry! Come on!

Shh!

Why couldn't I have been born

a bird?

Ugh!

Well, I don't see anything that

looks like evil mud spirits.

Greetings, doomed travelers.

Here lies the Misty Muds,

a monstrous mausoleum

for the dead.

Hey! Hey!

It's you!

The toad from earlier!

Remember me?

Kerry? The amazing singer?

Oh. Oh, you?

I, I've never seen you before.

- No traveler has ever...

- No, no! It's me!

I was helping you out

with your wart problem.

You still have a few more,

actually.

- What?

- Kerry!

Get away from that thing!

Cut that out!

I need those to look tough!

Petra, this is Augustus.

We go way back.

Augustus, Petra. My sister.

I... I don't care!

You've entered

the realm of the dead.

You may proceed,

but you shall never return!

Have you ever cleaned your ears?

Ugh, gross.

Alright, that's it.

I'm... I'm done.

I'm done.

There's no escape.

You will die.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

It is coming! Um...

Uh, rude.

Uh, Kerry...

Oh! Yarra said to watch out

for the blue lights!

- That must be the way!

- "Watch out," as in be careful!

We need to stay away from them.

- They're moving away! Quick!

- Ugh!

- Ah.

Oh, it's an evil mud spirit.

He doesn't look evil to me.

He looks...

frightened.

It all makes sense!

What are you talking about?

I had a dream where

the Founding Children told me

their wish has been forgotten.

And they were right.

The Founding Children

in a dream?

The Founding Children wished

for safety for all animals.

All animals.

Even the ones in the WILD.

When we built Sanctuary City,

everyone left outside the walls

had to fight Extinction alone.

We cut ourselves off

and forgot about them.

Kerry, that's in the past.

How is that going to

help us now?

Yarra said to us,

the only way Extinction can be

defeated is if we work together.

I understand what he meant now.

Not just us,

but everyone together!

Citizens and the WILD.

That change starts now.

Huh?

What? Huh!

Kerry, come on!

Run!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

How did you do that?

Kerry! Are you okay?

Huh! Wake up! Wake up!

- What's going on?

- Wow!

I can't believe

that actually worked!

What do you mean?

You didn't know

that was going to work?

Nope!

But now I know

what I have to wish for.

Uh, Kerry?

What's wrong with your backpack?

Uh, what?

I told you to leave him behind!

But... he's my friend!

You said friends never have to

face the world alone.

You're seriously using that

on me?

Mm-hmm!

Can we keep him? Please?

Please, please, please, please,

please, please, please, please.

- Please!

- Ugh, okay, okay.

Ugh! Fine.

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Okay.

Ooh!

We're here!

We're finally here!

It's the Sister Wishmas Tree!

It's...

dead.

It can't be dead.

It can't be!

There must be a seed somewhere!

No. No! Why?

Where's the seed?

All this way...

for a dead tree!

I did this.

It's all my fault!

No.

What? Can't you see?

It's dead!

I can't believe I really thought

I could fix this.

No, Kerry.

What are you no-ing me about?

We're not giving up now!

I was dragged on this adventure

because of you.

I nearly died on several

occasions, because of you!

And along the way,

I learnt to believe in things

I didn't think existed.

Because of you!

Wanna know what I wished for

Wishmas this year?

You don't even believe

in Wishmas.

That you'd get to go

on a real adventure.

Partly so I could take a break

from you.

But mostly 'cause I know

how much you wanted it.

And now, look at you!

Out on this quest

saving the world!

Hmm.

I promised you wouldn't have to

face your problems alone.

But now, I need your help.

We all need your help.

You're the one

who just has to believe!

Now, get up!

Let's finish our adventure.

I love you, Kerry.

I love you, too.

Petra!

Look!

Oh, whoa!

- It's the seed!

- It's the seed!

It's alive!

It's alive!

Come on, little bud.

You can do it.

Come on! Whoo! Yeah!

Grow, little seed! Grow!

You can do it!

You can do it!

Come on!

- Whoo!

- Yes!

Look! It's opening!

Come on!

Uh, this is not good.

- Huh?

- Huh?

Yarra!

You're alive!

No, Bernard. No. This is Yarra.

Our friend.

Something's not right.

What's going on, Yarra?

No.

No! Yarra!

It's nearly ready.

We have to keep him back!

- Bernard!

- Bernard!

Bernard! Look out!

No!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Hurry up, seed!

Sorry, Yarra!

Come on!

Kerry.

It's all up to you now.

Make your wish

when the seed is ready.

Huh?

Petra!

Come on, Yarra!

I know you're in there!

Huh?

It's ready!

Do it, Kerry!

I wish...

I wish for the safety

of all animals.

Kerry!

Huh?

Kerry!

Oh. Kerry, no!

No, no, no. Please.

Oh, Kerry. No.

- Petra?

- Kerry!

Oh, Kerry!

You did it!

You defeated Extinction!

Look!

No, Petra.

We did it.

Yarra!

Sorry, Kerry

the Ringtail Possum.

The power of Extinction

was too great.

Not as great as this!

You did it!

You really did it!

Stick!

Stick?

No!

Oh!

Huh?

Oh.

Thank you.

If I've learnt anything

on this adventure,

it's that family

has to stick together.

And I thought my jokes were bad.

I'm proud of you.

Both of you.

But tell me,

who is this little one?

It's a long, long story.

Lucky, it's a long,

long trip home!

Actually, could we make

a few stops along the way?

Whoo. Wow.

What a beautiful city.

It will be.

Welcome home, everyone!
