[dramatic music]

I sure wish we knew
where we're going.

No wonder! I never saw
so many gadgets

and knobs in all my life.

Just don't touch anything.
That's all Pussycat.



I'll bet I could fly this thing
as well as any of you.

Please, Alexandra, we've got
enough trouble without arguing.

Who's arguing?
Watch this.

(Alan) Don't push
that lever. Oh-oh!

What did you do, Alexandra?

(Alexandra) 'Oh, sure!
Always my fault.'

meow meow

Push the stabilizer
control, Valerie.

Neat manoeuvre, Alexandra.
Really neat!

I see what you mean.

I might have known
you'd be around.

[Bleep bleeps]

What's the matter,
Bleep? Oh, my!

- What have we here?
- It looks like we have company.

(Melody) 'Aren't they cute?
Gee! Real flying saucers.'

(Alexandra) 'Probably
as cute as a couple'

'of scorpions.
Let's move out of here.'

(Josie) 'That's a pretty,
tricky manoeuvre they're doing.'

(Alan) 'Yeah and
I don't like it.'

(Alexandra) 'Those silly
saucers are trying'

'to snare us in that net.'

(Alex) 'Trying? They just did!

We're caught like
space sardines.

Then there was something
fishy about those saucers.

[laughing]

At least we know
where we're going.

We're being pulled toward
that freaky looking planet below us.

- 'Look.'
- 'Do we have to?'

(Alex) 'Oh! Oh!'

'Look out! It's
jungle city, gang!'

(Alan) 'Hang on, everybody!'

(Melody) 'Wee! It's like
landing in a super salad.'

[intense music]

- Well, now where are we?
- You were right, Val.

This is a freaky
looking place.

Wonder what puny planetoid this is.

(minister) 'Intruders!'

- Oh-oh!
- 'You are all under arrest!'

Arrest? But we--

What brings you to
our planet? Ri-bit.

What brings us?
That's a laugh!

You did, you creep!

Yeah, who do you
think you are, sir?

I am minister of defence for
the planetoid of Kalex. Ri-bit.

Big deal! It sounds
like a mouthwash.

Just what do you
intend to do with us?

(minister) 'We will take you
to the Mighty Throg. Ri-bit.'

And just who is this
Mighty Throg?

Just like blog.
Throg rhymes with frog.

[giggles]

Silence! Throg is
our ruler. Ri-bit.

He is all powerful on this planet.

He will decide your fate.

Come. Ri-bit.

Oh! At least he
didn't mention croak.

I don't think I want to go.

I don't think we have
much choice, for now.

Well, I'm not afraid of
any frog faced character.

I'll show him a thing
or two. Let's go!

Wait till I see that
king of the swamp.

At least you got to
admit that Mr. Throg's

space saucers are super.

Oh, great!

I see that Josie has managed
to sit next to Alan.

Again!
And I drew a blank.

- I'm not a blank!
- Wanna bet?

Zero! Big O. Nothing!

[sniggering]

(Alex) 'Oh, very funny!'

Hey, gang, look!
Buildings!

Wow!
What a housing project!

(Melody) 'I don't see any
mushrooms for rent sign.'

[giggles]

(minister) 'Prepare to meet our
powerful leader. Ri-bit.'

These are the invaders of
our planet, O Mighty Throg. Ri-bit.

- Invaders!
- But, your majesty.

Invaders, my foot!

You netted us like so
many butterflies.

Silence!

Where do you come from?

We're from the Planet Earth, sir.

That's where people
look like people.

[chuckles]

Cool it, Melody.
Watch your manners.

So, you are from the Planet Earth.

These Earthlings can be of
use to you, Excellency. Ri-bit.

Yes. They make my plans,
practically fool-proof.

Plans? What plans could
we possibly help with?

Whatever they are.
You can count me out!

And me too. Anyway,
I don't count. I'm a blank.

Your Planet Earth has certain minerals

that we lack here on Kalex.

But the Mighty Throg has
devised a clever plan

to correct this condition.

Don't tell me.
Let me guess.

You're going to invade Earth.

Ah! Then you know!

Somehow, all the other
freak outs we've met

have the same nutty idea.

Silence! Ri-bit.

No one speaks to the great
Throg in such a manner.

Well, I just did! Flipo!

Because we are different
in appearance

these Earth people
think we are simple.

[laughing]

Show them just how simple
we are, O Mighty Throg.

Show them your master
plan. Ri-bit.

Aliens, look behind you and be amazed.

Wee! It's show and tell time.

[giggles]

(minister) 'Behold, the Mighty
Throg's master plan'

'for invading your Earth.
Ri-bit.'

You're going to invade
Earth in this?

It's a metal monster.

It'll never get off
the ground. Huh!

Therein lies the
beauty of my plan.

I'm not going to invade your
Earth in the usual sense.

- What do you mean?
- I remain here.

I shall give Earth an ultimatum.

Surrender to me..

...or be bombarded with
millions of small asteroids

hurled to Earth by this space robot.

Huh! I told you it was a nutty idea.

See if you can laugh
after this, scoffers.

[rumbling]

W-what's happening?
Yee-ow!

I think the sky is falling.

[bleeps]

Cut out.

[laughs] Enough.

[laughing]

You can say that again.

What a fall out.

That was some kind of
demonstration.

A scary kind.
What a machine.

I'll bet it plays records
and fries eggs, too.

[giggles]

Yeah, what do you do for an encore?

A little rock music, huh? Huh?

[chuckles]

I intend to make a thorough
study of these earthlings.

After that, I shall know exactly
how they react to any situation.

Just what do you mean by a
careful and thorough study?

Yeah. Just what does that mean?

We're not guinea pigs, you know.

- We're people.
- Bleep bleep bleep.

Bleep is a bleep.

This interesting furry one,
I shall keep as my pet.

[meows]

'Guard, take it away.'

And this one, shall act as
my personal servant.

[bleeps]

Me? Oh, my! I'm an awful cook.

Unless you like brownies.

- What about the rest of us?
- Oh, yes.

You shall be kept in my zoo.

(all) Your zoo?

You're not keeping me in
any zoo, like a monkey.

- You fugitive from a lily pad.
- He's not keepin' any of us.

Let's give him the old
Whirling Dervish Routine.

Lock arms, gang.

Guards, cease them.

Ready. Set. Go!

Stop them!
Stop them!

[upbeat music]

After them, you incompetence!

(Alan) Spin off, gang.

[whirr whirr]

Hurry, they're getting away.

Hit them off.

They're getting closer.

We gave 'em the slip that time.

Is that you, Alan, dear?

I'd know those
shoulders anywhere.

[giggles]

Sure, you would.

Oh, no. Not again.

Why don't you get
lost for a change?

[bleeps]

(Alan) 'Uh-oh, we're in a jam.'

But I'm gettin' out of this jar.

There they are.
We have them.

Come, we rush them.

What is it, Bleep?

[bleeps]

Okay, Alex. Shove!

Strike!

I may take a bowling again.

[laughs]

We've got to find a better
way to get around, than on foot.

It's too slow and dangerous.

Look in there.
That ought to give us a lift.

Hey, they look like
mini spaceships.

- They are.
- Come on, let's go.

Well, we got wheels.

Yeah. And we got something else.

'Trouble, and lots of it.'

Stick close and let's go.
Climb fast.

[instrumental music]

[whirr]

Low bridge.

- Nice manoeuver, Alan.
- It was super.

I see another city over there.

(Alex) Welcome to
Toad Stool Towers.

(Josie) 'We can hide
among these buildings.'

I wonder if we really
lost them, at last.

Maybe, but not for long.

You can be sure of that.

Come on, follow me.

I'll show you how to duck
these flying frogs.

- Move over.
- 'Now, wait, sis.'

- Wait for what?
- We oughta check the territory.

Well, I'm checking out.

We better find out
where out is, first.

Yikes! That's not it.
Look!

That's them.
The aliens.

Sound the alarm.

ri-bit ri-bit ri-bit

And now, you've
done it, Alexandra.

You brought Throg's whole
frog force down on us.

[bleeps]

Huh? Where? Where?

Uh-oh, here they come.

'Yeow! Let's get out of here.'

(Alan) 'And fast.
Come on, this way!'

Watch out for those flying nets.

You fly and we'll watch, Alan.

They're getting closer, Alan.

[whoosh whoosh]

Ready to move.
Lift.

That's getting too
close for comfort.

- Dive!
- Watch out for that water.

Let's see how they like
a little dowsing.

Don't do anything foolish,
Alexandra.

(Alexandra) 'Relax, this
will cool 'em off.'

We're gonna hit.
Whoa!

Good move, Alexandra.
But..

Come on, we gotta get out of here.

- Others are coming at us.
- I'd give 'em the ol'..

Uh-oh, conked out.

Well, they're dropping fast.

Come on, Alexandra.

Nice going,
we're going nowhere.

- Stop moving your liver-lips.
- 'Hurry up!'

'Oh, Alan, they're caught.'

We gotta..

Oh! That's all.

Don't you just love
my lute, Your Majesty?

Enough. Your after dinner
music gives me indigestion.

We have brought the runaways
as you see, O Mighty Throg.

So, you thought you could
escape from Throg?

Well, we're back.

Now, what're you
going to do with us?

Put us in a zoo.
That's what.

No, I have decided to
keep you close by.

Where I can personally
observe you.

Mm-mm. Thanks, Melody.
This food looks great.

Now, what's this about a circus?

Oh, yeah. It's too bad
you'll have to miss it.

I wouldn't want to go to
Throg's dumb circus, anyhow.

You're going to this one.

- We all are.
- What are you talking about?

Do you have a plan?

Now, look, the first thing
we've got to do, if we're gonna escape

is get out of this
cage, right?

(all) 'Right.'

Okay. We have Melody
tell Throg

about this terrific
musical group

called Josie and the Pussycats.

They'd be a great act
for his circus.

Oh, I see.

And once we're at the circus,
we make a break for it.

- Head back to our spaceship.
- Right.

Oh, Alan, you're so smart.

You would never have
thought of that, Josie.

It sounds like it could
be dangerous to me.

You'll do as Alan says,
or I'll fix you.

'Bleep, we'll need
you in this, too.'

[bleeps]

Now, Melody, this whole
thing depends on you.

But first, you've got to con Throg

into letting the Pussycats play.

'Then have them bring the
instruments from the spaceship.'

Think you can remember all that?

Oh, sure, nothing to it.

[giggles]

Uh, what was the first part again?

Oh, boy! Good luck to us!

You can do it, Melody.

Remember, this all depends on you.

[instrumental music]

(Alan) 'Well, Melody
came through for us.'

This gig is going to be build as

Josie and the Pussycats
plus three.

Since we've all gotta
get out together.

Alex, Alexandra and I,
will fake in

pretend to be part of the act.

Huh, the others have been
faking it for years.

Something's happening.

Sounds like Throg's circus
is about to begin.

(Josie) 'There are two
frogs on that platform.'

'Hey, it's an upside
down routine. Fantastic.'

'Now, that is the goofiest
high wire act I've ever seen.'

Oh, yeah, take a look at that
flipped out frog

'under the trampoline.'

(Josie) 'Well, now I see
everything. I think.'

(Alexandra) 'Have you met
your relatives, the clowns?'

'They don't look very amusing.'

(Melody) 'Oh, but they
look kinda familiar.'

I don't see anything
funny about that.

You may be, but
certainly not me.

You're face is getting more
laughs as usual. Ha-ha-ha.

(Alexandra) 'Get a glance at
those Pinocchio ponies.'

'Hop along frogety rides again. Ha.'

Bring on the Earth people.

Okay, Pussycats.
Hit it.

♪ Hey did you have
yourself a day ♪

♪ Hey did you make ♪

♪ Each minute pay ♪

♪ Did you run did you seek.. ♪

So, this is what
they call music.

What do you think of it,
Mighty Throg?

Well, it is loud.
I'll say that for it.

Okay, Bleep. Now.

[bleeps]

Now's our chance.

The lights, what happened?

Look over there, it was a trick.
They have escaped. Ri-bit.

(Throg) 'Clear the arena, find
them and bring them to me, at once.'

That's as good a way as any.
Let's go.

Guards, guards!

[upbeat music]

Split.

[music continues]

Whoa!

[music continues]

[engine revvs]

[boing]

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

[kaboom]

Now, there's a switch.

Let's turn it on and go.

[chuckles] It's very nice of
Throg to lend us his spaceship.

- Where to, Alan?
- Are you kidding?

Back to our spaceship, of course.

But what about Throg's
invasion machine?

If we leave it the way it is

he could use it against
Earth anytime.

Oh, you're right.

We'll take care of
it before we go.

There's Throg's place, just ahead.

(Valerie) 'Yeah,
but what's the plan, Alan?'

Ever hear of destruction derby?

[bleeps]

Right on, I get the idea.

(Alan) Brace yourselves.

'This thing's on
it's last place.'

[kaboom]

(Alan) 'Now, cut out.'

[boom]

(Alexandra) 'At last,
I hope we've seen the last'

'of those frog faced creeps,
the very last.'

For once, I'm with you, sis.

Don't worry, we've left
Throg and his friends

far-far behind by now.

- What's that?
- 'Yeah, what?'

- 'Oh, no, Throg.'
- 'How did he get here?'

(Josie) 'Sebastian, you!'

The old mask on the cat bit.

Well, you can say we had
the last laugh on Throg.

[laughter]

(Alex) 'I wanna go home.'
