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!
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!
