Season 03 Episode 01
Episode Tirle:
Nancy reads "Nancy the Auteur."
My helmet camera
on good and tight?
Yup.
Ready for your big bike jump!
Allez, Lionel! Go!
Go for it!
Okay.
Here I go.
- Bravo!
- Yay!
Awesome!
Your new movie camera
is super fun.
We should use it to make movies
of other things too!
You mean like clouds
or ants?
Or the inside
of your mouth.
Nah, I've already
video'ed all that.
What if we make
a real movie.
Like the kind you see
in a theater
with actors and a story
and everything.
Sounds fun.
- That'd be awesome.
- Yeah!
Let's do it.
I guess.
Uh, but Nancy?
Have no idea how to make
a grown‐up kind of movie.
Pas de problème!
I saw a TV show
about how to make movies once.
So I'm practically an expert.
Please, Nancy.
What do you really know
about making a movie?
Well, I know that every movie
needs an auteur.
That's fancy for someone
with a dream, an idea,
a vision of what their movie
will look like.
Someone like moi,
perhaps?
Sure.
Fine by me.
Okay.
Go for it.
Works for me.
I'm not doing it.
Merci.
Thank you all for believing
in me and my vision.
Okay. But, um,
what is your vision?
Yeah, what story
are we gonna tell?
Oh! Um... huh.
Let's see. Well, our story
needs a hero, of course.
The hero must be played
by an actor
with that special something
that all movie stars have. Someone like...
Frenchy!
I can see the movie now.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
An epic tale of a noble hound,
tragically torn
from his owner's arms.
Lost in the vast wilderness!
Braving spectacular storms!
Facing a ferocious bear.
Clinging to survival
on the wildest ride down a rivr
in the motion picture history.
Coming soon, it's
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
That sounds like a movie
I'd wanna see.
Especially the part
where they ride down the river.
I am almost 100% positive
that audiences
everywhere will love it.
Oh, come on, Nancy.
How are we gonna make a movie with
boats, bears, thunderstorms and a river?
Well,
I don't know yet.
But as the writer/director,
which is fancy movie talk
for the person who writes the story
and tells everyone making
the movie what to do,
I promise I'll figure it out.
This is just another one
of Nancy's big ideas.
If there's no way to actually
do it, why waste our time trying?
Grace, everyone,
I promise if you believe in
my dream of making a movie,
then I will find a way
to make it happen!
♪ It's true we haven't got
A lot of money ♪
♪ Or know‐how or experience
Or stuff ♪
♪ I guess the whole idea
Sounds kinda funny ♪
♪ To think a bunch of kids
Could pull this off ♪
♪ But little birds can fly
Across the ocean ♪
♪ And fish can find a way
To swim upstream ♪
♪ They've got what it takes
To get in motion ♪
♪ And so do we
Because we have a dream ♪
♪ But how do we
Make it thunder? ♪
That's easy.
♪ A drum can make it rumble ♪
♪ And we'll make
The bushes sway ♪
♪ The audience will
Never stop to wonder ♪
♪ How it could be so stormy
When the sky is blue today ♪
♪ See, if you have a dream ♪
♪ It seems you'll always
Find a way ♪
♪ But don't we need
A boat though? ♪
Don't worry.
♪ Just think of what could be ♪
♪ A boat adrift in river spray ♪
♪ It could be almost
Anything that floats ♪
♪ So we'll just make sure
To keep the camera Really far away ♪
♪ Oh, if you have a dream ♪
♪ It seems you'll always
Find a way ♪
♪ But wasn't there a bear too? ♪
♪ Well, that's okay ♪
♪ A costume and a hairdo
Is all it takes ♪
Roar!
♪ But what about
The forest? ♪
♪ Please, a wilderness is just
Some trees and bushes anyway ♪
♪ We'll have the biggest
Wildest and outdoors‐est ♪
♪ As long as we make sure
To move that garbage can ♪
Parfait!
♪ Yes, if you have a dream ♪
♪ It seems you'll always
Find a way ♪
♪ Just look at what
We started out with ♪
♪ Zero ♪
♪ But now we've got the things
We're needing, a team ♪
♪ A boat, a storm, a woods
A bear, a hero ♪
♪ And all it took
To get them was a dream ♪
♪ So follow me ♪
♪ It's time to seize the day ♪
♪ 'Cause when you have a dream ♪
♪ You'll always find a way ♪
Yeah!
All right!
Let's do this!
I am so in.
I guess I'll try.
What do we do first,
Nancy?
Lionel, you'll be
the cameraman.
Bree, you'll play
Yukon Rex's owner.
Roberto, I see you as the riverboat captain
who befriends Yukon Rex.
Grace, you can be...
the bear.
Rhonda and Wanda,
you'll be in charge of special effects.
That means making it look
like there's a storm.
Come on. Let's go!
Got it!
Roger that.
Camera's ready.
I like my part.
I'm a captain.
The bear?
Now, Bree, this first scene
starts on you, Yukon Rex's owner.
What's my name?
Um... Jessie McCoy.
And you're at your cattle ranch
playing fetch with your beloved‐‐
Wait. They had these
in the olden days?
You whittled it out of wood.
But just when you throw it,
a big wind...
That's me.
And me.
Right.
The wind blows it far off
into the deep, dark woods.
But faithful Yukon Rex chases
the toy into the woods and gets lost.
Why don't I go after him?
Uh, your foot hurts.
All you can do is gaze after him
in fear, worry, despair.
So when I say "action,"
you say your line and throw it.
Okay, people.
Ready to shoot?
That's fancy movie talk
for record.
Yeah!
Let's tighten the wrap
on this bad boy.
Ready.
On it.
It's about time.
And action.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take one.
Ahoy, matey!
Paddle faster!
Catch the whale,
Pirate Freddy.
Cut!
That means stop, everyone.
Um, JoJo, Freddy,
we're trying to make a movie here.
That's okay.
You're not bothering us.
We caught a whale!
Look, you two‐‐
How would you like to be
a part of making movie magic?
Wait. You want
them to help?
They can be our
sound department.
Yeah!
I wanna be a sound department.
Me too!
What's a sound department?
That's the people in charge
of all the sounds you hear in a movie.
But since our story starts
here on Bree's‐‐
Jessie.
Jessie's cattle ranch,
instead of making a whale sound...
...we'll hear
the sound of cows.
Yeah! Moo cows!
And what do I do,
Nancy?
Hmm.
Uh,
I don't get it.
Why is he holding
a pine cone on a fishing pole?
It's a pretend microphone
for Bree to pretend to talk into,
so JoJo could pretend
to record it.
- Ready sound department?
- Huh?
- Just say speed.
- Why?
I don't know. It's what movie people say
before they record.
Okay. Speed!
Roll camera!
That means turn the camera on,
and then saying rolling, Lionel.
Right. Rolling!
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take two.
And action!
That means go!
Here you go,
Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog,
fetch!
Cut!
Frenchy, I love the way
you played that scene.
Let's keep the panting
and the drooling,
but this time,
chase the toy when Bree‐‐ Jessie.
Jessie... throws it.
Okay, kid?
No, you. You are my star.
Places, people!
That means get ready
to start over.
Sound.
Speed.
- Camera.
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take three.
And action.
Here you go, Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog, fetch!
Cut!
Can we stop?
My neck has a cramp.
Oh, why don't we go back to the
bike ramp and shoot me riding over it?
How about making a movie
of me opening toys?
People, people!
We can't just quit on our dream
because things get tough.
I just know there has
to be some way
to get Frenchy
to chase this.
I have a dog biscuit from
when I gave Wiley a walk.
If we could attach it somehow...
Frenchy would chase it.
Could we fit it into
that little crack?
Voilà!
Now give it to Bree‐‐
uh, Jessie,
and let's shoot this.
Quick, everybody!
- Sound.
- And speed!
- Camera.
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take four.
Action!
Here you go, Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog, fetch!
Cut!
Got it! Parfait, Jessie.
And Roberto,
that was a great idea.
Guess we just had
to find a way.
That's the spirit.
Now, on to
the next scene.
Is it the big river scene?
Not yet.
In this scene, Frenchy,
you run through the storm.
You're lost, you're frightened,
but you must go on
till you get there
and out jumps a big bear!
Yes!
That's the look.
Brilliant.
This is why you're a star.
Sound.
Speed.
Roll camera!
Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene two. Take one.
Cue the storm!
Très bien. Very good.
And action!
Cue the bear.
Ta‐da! It's me.
The fairy princess.
Cut!
Grace, why aren't you
in the bear costume?
I decided
I wanna be a fairy.
A fairy?
Grace that makes no sense.
For my vision to work,
Yukon Rex has to face a scary bear.
But I don't want
to be a bear.
But Yukon Rex
wouldn't run away from a fairy.
Our movie won't work
unless you're a bear.
I want to be a fairy.
If we have no bear,
we have no movie.
All we have is a dream
that will never come true.
Guess that's it
for our movie then.
Maybe Nancy can talk
her into it.
By the time she does,
it'll be dark.
Just forget it.
Nancy can't make
Grace be a bear.
Grace, you know what?
You're right.
Oh, yeah!
Well‐‐ Wait.
I‐‐ I am?
Oh, absolutely.
A bear? We've seen that
a zillion times in movies.
But a fairy?
That is fresh and exciting.
I guess it is. Huh.
Oh! And you know what
would be even more exciting?
A fairy with hair.
Like a long ponytail?
Or fur.
Hmm. Great idea,
Grace.
Thanks.
As long as it's not a bear.
Of course not.
You'll be a big, scary,
hairy fairy who roars.
Roars?
Uh, I guess I see it.
Get her in the bear costume,
pronto.
Which is fancy Hollywood talk
for ASAP.
Which is movie talk for now.
Seems you found a way.
- Sound.
- Speed.
- Camera!
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene two. Take two.
Cue the storm.
Action.
Cue the bear.
Roar!
Cut! Print!
Okay, everyone!
Time to shoot the big river scene.
Great job with
that storm, guys.
Lionel, amazing camera work.
The secret is to find
the backlight
and light it
from the front.
More waves!
I need more waves!
Come on, people.
I want the captain drenched.
More waves!
There's a hound dog
in the river.
Cut!
Okay, people. We are about
to film the climax of the story.
That's the most exciting
part near the end.
Yukon Rex meets
the lovable riverboat pilot, Captain Pete.
He takes our hero home
in his boat.
But the water goes so fast,
they have to hang on so they don't
fall overboard in the raging river.
Want us to get buckets and splash
them with special effects water too?
That'd make them look
extra scary.
Especially if some of it
splashes on the camera.
Yeah, I've seen
that in movies.
I could act like
I'm falling in the river.
And there's a whale
in the river.
And a cow!
What about the fairy?
Those are all très
interesting ideas,
but right now
we have to hurry.
We simply must shoot
the river scene before it gets dark.
Um, Nancy,
where are you planning to film this?
In the creek out back.
Oh, no.
Playing in the water
is too dangerous without an adult there.
Then you can come watch us.
Sorry, but right now
I have to fill an order for strawberry jam.
So, how do we shoot
the river scene now?
I don't know.
Well, we'd better do it fast.
We're losing our light.
There must be a way.
There's always a way.
Daddy!
Hey, Nancy Pants.
Oh, it sure is nice
to come home to my little girl‐‐
Whoa! And all her friends!
Hi, Mr. Clancy.
Dad, I'm thrilled you're home
because we need you
to watch us shoot
the big river scene for
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Yukon what?
Okay.
And hurry!
We're losing the light.
So you see, Dad,
that's why this scene is so important.
Our whole movie leads up to Yukon
Rex taking a wild ride down a raging‐‐
Sacré bleu.
Uh‐oh.
Where's the water?
Oh, darn it. That's‐‐
That's too bad.
You know, sometimes around this time
of year, the creek dries up for a while.
Dries up? Dries up!
No, that's impossible.
Without this scene,
our movie has no ending.
Uh, we could use a hose
to make a river.
No, I don't think
a hose will stretch this far.
Or make
enough water.
And it would take
too long anyway.
Don't worry.
Nancy will find a way.
So, what are we going
to do, Nancy?
What are we gonna do?
We are going to quit.
That's what we're gonna do.
Because not even
the greatest auteur
can shoot a riverboat ride
down a river without a river.
Mother Nature,
how could you be so cruel?
Hey, Nancy Pants.
I'm sorry I let you all down,
but I'm afraid
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure shall never be.
That's a wrap, people.
Which is fancy for
we're done making the movie.
Oh, Frenchy.
I thought if I had a dream I could
always find a way to make it come true.
But maybe
that's not the case.
Maybe none of my dreams
will come true,
no matter how much
I want them to.
Like being a fashion designer.
And becoming a ballerina.
- I may not even...
- ...go to Paris.
If a dream can't come true,
then why even bother dreaming?
It isn't just your dream
anymore, Nancy.
You made this movie
our dream too.
I did?
♪ Just look at what
We started out with ♪
♪ Zero ♪
♪ But then you made us feel
We were a team ♪
♪ And all along the way
You were our hero ♪
♪ Because you let us share
Your special dream ♪
♪ So let us help you

♪ 'Cause when you have a dream ♪
♪ You'll always find a way ♪
Thanks, Jessie.
Bree.
My loyal crew.
If you still believe in me
and my‐‐ I mean our vision,
then I promise somehow
we'll shoot that scene in the‐‐
River! Ooh là l.
That's us.
Here you go, Yukon Rex.
You old hound dog, fetch!
Roar!
There's a hound dog in the river!
Hang on, boy.
Ooh. There's our hands.
Yeah.
Roar!
I like you, Yukon Rex.
I'll take you home
on my riverboat.
Yukon Rex! You old hound dog.
You came home!
Nancy,
everybody loved it.
The bear was really scary.
It was a fairy.
Nancy,
that was a masterpiece.
You and your friends
did a great job.
I loved the river scene.
Very imaginative.
Merci, Mom, Dad,
everyone.
I guess if you have a dream,
and friends,
there really is always
a way to make it come true.

Season 03 Episode 01
Episode Tirle:
Nancy reads "Nancy the Auteur."
My helmet camera
on good and tight?
Yup.
Ready for your big bike jump!
Allez, Lionel! Go!
Go for it!
Okay.
Here I go.
- Bravo!
- Yay!
Awesome!
Your new movie camera
is super fun.
We should use it to make movies
of other things too!
You mean like clouds
or ants?
Or the inside
of your mouth.
Nah, I've already
video'ed all that.
What if we make
a real movie.
Like the kind you see
in a theater
with actors and a story
and everything.
Sounds fun.
- That'd be awesome.
- Yeah!
Let's do it.
I guess.
Uh, but Nancy?
Have no idea how to make
a grown‐up kind of movie.
Pas de problème!
I saw a TV show
about how to make movies once.
So I'm practically an expert.
Please, Nancy.
What do you really know
about making a movie?
Well, I know that every movie
needs an auteur.
That's fancy for someone
with a dream, an idea,
a vision of what their movie
will look like.
Someone like moi,
perhaps?
Sure.
Fine by me.
Okay.
Go for it.
Works for me.
I'm not doing it.
Merci.
Thank you all for believing
in me and my vision.
Okay. But, um,
what is your vision?
Yeah, what story
are we gonna tell?
Oh! Um... huh.
Let's see. Well, our story
needs a hero, of course.
The hero must be played
by an actor
with that special something
that all movie stars have. Someone like...
Frenchy!
I can see the movie now.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
An epic tale of a noble hound,
tragically torn
from his owner's arms.
Lost in the vast wilderness!
Braving spectacular storms!
Facing a ferocious bear.
Clinging to survival
on the wildest ride down a rivr
in the motion picture history.
Coming soon, it's
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
That sounds like a movie
I'd wanna see.
Especially the part
where they ride down the river.
I am almost 100% positive
that audiences
everywhere will love it.
Oh, come on, Nancy.
How are we gonna make a movie with
boats, bears, thunderstorms and a river?
Well,
I don't know yet.
But as the writer/director,
which is fancy movie talk
for the person who writes the story
and tells everyone making
the movie what to do,
I promise I'll figure it out.
This is just another one
of Nancy's big ideas.
If there's no way to actually
do it, why waste our time trying?
Grace, everyone,
I promise if you believe in
my dream of making a movie,
then I will find a way
to make it happen!

Yeah!
All right!
Let's do this!
I am so in.
I guess I'll try.
What do we do first,
Nancy?
Lionel, you'll be
the cameraman.
Bree, you'll play
Yukon Rex's owner.
Roberto, I see you as the riverboat captain
who befriends Yukon Rex.
Grace, you can be...
the bear.
Rhonda and Wanda,
you'll be in charge of special effects.
That means making it look
like there's a storm.
Come on. Let's go!
Got it!
Roger that.
Camera's ready.
I like my part.
I'm a captain.
The bear?
Now, Bree, this first scene
starts on you, Yukon Rex's owner.
What's my name?
Um... Jessie McCoy.
And you're at your cattle ranch
playing fetch with your beloved‐‐
Wait. They had these
in the olden days?
You whittled it out of wood.
But just when you throw it,
a big wind...
That's me.
And me.
Right.
The wind blows it far off
into the deep, dark woods.
But faithful Yukon Rex chases
the toy into the woods and gets lost.
Why don't I go after him?
Uh, your foot hurts.
All you can do is gaze after him
in fear, worry, despair.
So when I say "action,"
you say your line and throw it.
Okay, people.
Ready to shoot?
That's fancy movie talk
for record.
Yeah!
Let's tighten the wrap
on this bad boy.
Ready.
On it.
It's about time.
And action.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take one.
Ahoy, matey!
Paddle faster!
Catch the whale,
Pirate Freddy.
Cut!
That means stop, everyone.
Um, JoJo, Freddy,
we're trying to make a movie here.
That's okay.
You're not bothering us.
We caught a whale!
Look, you two‐‐
How would you like to be
a part of making movie magic?
Wait. You want
them to help?
They can be our
sound department.
Yeah!
I wanna be a sound department.
Me too!
What's a sound department?
That's the people in charge
of all the sounds you hear in a movie.
But since our story starts
here on Bree's‐‐
Jessie.
Jessie's cattle ranch,
instead of making a whale sound...
...we'll hear
the sound of cows.
Yeah! Moo cows!
And what do I do,
Nancy?
Hmm.
Uh,
I don't get it.
Why is he holding
a pine cone on a fishing pole?
It's a pretend microphone
for Bree to pretend to talk into,
so JoJo could pretend
to record it.
- Ready sound department?
- Huh?
- Just say speed.
- Why?
I don't know. It's what movie people say
before they record.
Okay. Speed!
Roll camera!
That means turn the camera on,
and then saying rolling, Lionel.
Right. Rolling!
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take two.
And action!
That means go!
Here you go,
Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog,
fetch!
Cut!
Frenchy, I love the way
you played that scene.
Let's keep the panting
and the drooling,
but this time,
chase the toy when Bree‐‐ Jessie.
Jessie... throws it.
Okay, kid?
No, you. You are my star.
Places, people!
That means get ready
to start over.
Sound.
Speed.
- Camera.
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take three.
And action.
Here you go, Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog, fetch!
Cut!
Can we stop?
My neck has a cramp.
Oh, why don't we go back to the
bike ramp and shoot me riding over it?
How about making a movie
of me opening toys?
People, people!
We can't just quit on our dream
because things get tough.
I just know there has
to be some way
to get Frenchy
to chase this.
I have a dog biscuit from
when I gave Wiley a walk.
If we could attach it somehow...
Frenchy would chase it.
Could we fit it into
that little crack?
Voilà!
Now give it to Bree‐‐
uh, Jessie,
and let's shoot this.
Quick, everybody!
- Sound.
- And speed!
- Camera.
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene one. Take four.
Action!
Here you go, Yukon Rex!
You old hound dog, fetch!
Cut!
Got it! Parfait, Jessie.
And Roberto,
that was a great idea.
Guess we just had
to find a way.
That's the spirit.
Now, on to
the next scene.
Is it the big river scene?
Not yet.
In this scene, Frenchy,
you run through the storm.
You're lost, you're frightened,
but you must go on
till you get there
and out jumps a big bear!
Yes!
That's the look.
Brilliant.
This is why you're a star.
Sound.
Speed.
Roll camera!
Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene two. Take one.
Cue the storm!
Très bien. Very good.
And action!
Cue the bear.
Ta‐da! It's me.
The fairy princess.
Cut!
Grace, why aren't you
in the bear costume?
I decided
I wanna be a fairy.
A fairy?
Grace that makes no sense.
For my vision to work,
Yukon Rex has to face a scary bear.
But I don't want
to be a bear.
But Yukon Rex
wouldn't run away from a fairy.
Our movie won't work
unless you're a bear.
I want to be a fairy.
If we have no bear,
we have no movie.
All we have is a dream
that will never come true.
Guess that's it
for our movie then.
Maybe Nancy can talk
her into it.
By the time she does,
it'll be dark.
Just forget it.
Nancy can't make
Grace be a bear.
Grace, you know what?
You're right.
Oh, yeah!
Well‐‐ Wait.
I‐‐ I am?
Oh, absolutely.
A bear? We've seen that
a zillion times in movies.
But a fairy?
That is fresh and exciting.
I guess it is. Huh.
Oh! And you know what
would be even more exciting?
A fairy with hair.
Like a long ponytail?
Or fur.
Hmm. Great idea,
Grace.
Thanks.
As long as it's not a bear.
Of course not.
You'll be a big, scary,
hairy fairy who roars.
Roars?
Uh, I guess I see it.
Get her in the bear costume,
pronto.
Which is fancy Hollywood talk
for ASAP.
Which is movie talk for now.
Seems you found a way.
- Sound.
- Speed.
- Camera!
- Rolling.
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Scene two. Take two.
Cue the storm.
Action.
Cue the bear.
Roar!
Cut! Print!
Okay, everyone!
Time to shoot the big river scene.
Great job with
that storm, guys.
Lionel, amazing camera work.
The secret is to find
the backlight
and light it
from the front.
More waves!
I need more waves!
Come on, people.
I want the captain drenched.
More waves!
There's a hound dog
in the river.
Cut!
Okay, people. We are about
to film the climax of the story.
That's the most exciting
part near the end.
Yukon Rex meets
the lovable riverboat pilot, Captain Pete.
He takes our hero home
in his boat.
But the water goes so fast,
they have to hang on so they don't
fall overboard in the raging river.
Want us to get buckets and splash
them with special effects water too?
That'd make them look
extra scary.
Especially if some of it
splashes on the camera.
Yeah, I've seen
that in movies.
I could act like
I'm falling in the river.
And there's a whale
in the river.
And a cow!
What about the fairy?
Those are all très
interesting ideas,
but right now
we have to hurry.
We simply must shoot
the river scene before it gets dark.
Um, Nancy,
where are you planning to film this?
In the creek out back.
Oh, no.
Playing in the water
is too dangerous without an adult there.
Then you can come watch us.
Sorry, but right now
I have to fill an order for strawberry jam.
So, how do we shoot
the river scene now?
I don't know.
Well, we'd better do it fast.
We're losing our light.
There must be a way.
There's always a way.
Daddy!
Hey, Nancy Pants.
Oh, it sure is nice
to come home to my little girl‐‐
Whoa! And all her friends!
Hi, Mr. Clancy.
Dad, I'm thrilled you're home
because we need you
to watch us shoot
the big river scene for
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure.
Yukon what?
Okay.
And hurry!
We're losing the light.
So you see, Dad,
that's why this scene is so important.
Our whole movie leads up to Yukon
Rex taking a wild ride down a raging‐‐
Sacré bleu.
Uh‐oh.
Where's the water?
Oh, darn it. That's‐‐
That's too bad.
You know, sometimes around this time
of year, the creek dries up for a while.
Dries up? Dries up!
No, that's impossible.
Without this scene,
our movie has no ending.
Uh, we could use a hose
to make a river.
No, I don't think
a hose will stretch this far.
Or make
enough water.
And it would take
too long anyway.
Don't worry.
Nancy will find a way.
So, what are we going
to do, Nancy?
What are we gonna do?
We are going to quit.
That's what we're gonna do.
Because not even
the greatest auteur
can shoot a riverboat ride
down a river without a river.
Mother Nature,
how could you be so cruel?
Hey, Nancy Pants.
I'm sorry I let you all down,
but I'm afraid
Yukon Rex: Dog of Adventure shall never be.
That's a wrap, people.
Which is fancy for
we're done making the movie.
Oh, Frenchy.
I thought if I had a dream I could
always find a way to make it come true.
But maybe
that's not the case.
Maybe none of my dreams
will come true,
no matter how much
I want them to.
Like being a fashion designer.
And becoming a ballerina.
- I may not even...
- ...go to Paris.
If a dream can't come true,
then why even bother dreaming?
It isn't just your dream
anymore, Nancy.
You made this movie
our dream too.
I did?

We started out with ♪
♪ Zero ♪

Thanks, Jessie.
Bree.
My loyal crew.
If you still believe in me
and my‐‐ I mean our vision,
then I promise somehow
we'll shoot that scene in the‐‐
River! Ooh là l.
That's us.
Here you go, Yukon Rex.
You old hound dog, fetch!
Roar!
There's a hound dog in the river!
Hang on, boy.
Ooh. There's our hands.
Yeah.
Roar!
I like you, Yukon Rex.
I'll take you home
on my riverboat.
Yukon Rex! You old hound dog.
You came home!
Nancy,
everybody loved it.
The bear was really scary.
It was a fairy.
Nancy,
that was a masterpiece.
You and your friends
did a great job.
I loved the river scene.
Very imaginative.
Merci, Mom, Dad,
everyone.
I guess if you have a dream,
and friends,
there really is always
a way to make it come true.
