[Madam Why]
Oh-hum, Prime Evil's
been quiet for a while.

Huh, let's see what's happening
elsewhere in the universe.

[click]



What's this? Ah, Dorhem Castlein Fairytale Land.

Uh, and beautiful as always.

And, oh, look.

Princess Gwendolyn and Prince
Delwin are getting married.

Oh, how romantic!

And thus thou,
Princess Gwendolyn,
take thee Prince Delwin

to love and honor.

[thud]

No, she doesn't.

[Madam Why] Uh, it's that
wicked ghost Gimghoul.

-Oh, no, Delwin.
-Don't worry, dearest. I'll--

[swish]

Delwin, he's gone!

Uh, what have you done
with my prince?

Gwendolyn, what happened?

What did Gimghoul
do to Prince Delwin?

Gwendolyn!

This looks like a job
for the...

[Eddie] Ghostbusters, huh?

Ghostdusters that's we are.

[whirring]

-Over there.
-OK, OK.

-Ha ha ha.
-Ha ha ha. That tickles.

[ringing]

Stop laughing,
someone's calling us.

Ha ha ha, so what,
you guys are a joke anyway.

Ghostbusters, Jake speaking.

It's Madame Why.

Trouble in Fairytale Land.

Uh, Madame,
are you feeling all right?

Is there really
a Fairytale Land?

I don't know.

Well, I'd like to
believe there is.

Madame, where is this place?

It's just past
the end of the rainbow.

And hurry I think you boys
are needed there now.

OK, we're on our way.

Yeah, these Ghostdusters
are goin' ghost bustin'.

[all] Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[snoring]

Let's go, G.B.

Too...not now, I was
dreamin' about this

ter-ter-terrific looking
convertible.

Get your mind off cars and
switch to flight mode. Quick.

Flight mode? Sure, you guys
are air-heads, anyway.

[vroom]

All right, we're in flight.
Now which way do I go?

Which way? Let me see.
I'm not sure, G.B.

You're not sure! I'd expect
that from any, not you.

Look, why don't we
just go back home,

you can have a nice warm
glass of milk and then...

We can't do that, we're on
a mission, top priority.

Now, let's hoist the anchor
and really get moving.

Ow, aye-aye captain.

Which way?
Or is that asking too much?

Go-o-o, that way.

[vroom]

No offense, Eddie,
but I think you've gone loco.

What are we doing
up here, anyway?

We have to rescue
a princess who lives
just beyond the rainbow.

B-b-beyond the rainbow!
You got clouds in your head?

Just move it, G.B.
There must be a rainbow
around here somewhere.

-Yeah, look, a rainbow.
-[Jake] Turn left, G.B.

[vroom]

Jake, look, we must be
in Fairytale Land.

[Eddie] It's beautiful.

After tomorrow,
I'll be the ruler
of the richest kingdom

in the land.

But, Gimghoul, the princess,
she refuses to marry you.

She'll change her mind
when I get through with her.

Are you going to put a spell
on her with the scepter?

I find such crude methods
distasteful.

No, I-- What's that?

[vroom]

I don't know, sire. Strangers.

Stranger's, eh?

Well, take your ghost patrol
and get rid of them.

Yes, Gimghoul.

I don't want anyone
spoiling my plans now.

[vroom]

[screech]

There's the castle.

Now, let's see, Madame said
to find Prince Delwin.

Look, Jake, we've got
a welcoming committee.

And they don't look
too friendly.

Oh, no, my nose is twitching.

They are ghost knights.

-Should we bust 'em?
-Not yet.

We're not looking for trouble.
We're looking
for Prince Delwin.

Tracy, get us out of here.

Okey-dokey.

[engine revving]

Faster, G.B.,
they're gaining on us.

Head for that cave.

[dramatic music]

[screech]

Well, that's the last
we'll see of them.

[laughing]

I wonder why they gave up.

Maybe, they're afraid
of the dark.

[growling]

Uh, I hate to say this,
fellows, but I don't think
we're alone.

[growling]

-Uh!
-It's a monster!

Get out of my cave.

Uh, you bet.

Hey, wait for me.

[vroom]

[grunting]

[Jake] Come on, guys.
Head for the outside.

[dramatic music]

I'm coming, Jake.

My feet can't go as fast
as head goes, I'm doomed.

Whoa!

Grr, grr.

[music continues]

Yike!

Uh!

Yike!

Yeow!

Get up and run for your life.

Let me out of here.

Uh, uh, uh.

Yikes!

Uh, go away!
Just leave me alone.

Eddie, quick,
the Dematerializer.

Eddie, wait. That's no monster.

He's just a little troll.

Hey, you're not a ghost patrol.

No, we're a,
we're a Ghostbusters.

And we're looking
for Prince Delwin.

Really, well,
you're looking at him.

What? You're the prince?

-But, well, you're a troll.
-[Tracy] Yeah!

Gimghoul put a spell on me
and turned me
into a ugly troll.

He wants to marry
the Princess Gwendolyn himself.

So he can rule the kingdom.

[clank]

And I guess there's nothing
I can do about it.

Whoa, don't say that.
Why don't you marry her anyway?

-Yeah.
-No, I can't.

You see, she doesn't
know I am the prince.

-Oh!
-Maybe, you should tell her.

No, you don't understand.
I can't.

You see, after the spell
was put on me

I hid outside in the bushes
under Gwendolyn's window.

That night, I heard her cry.

[crying]
Oh, my poor Prince Delwin.

Oh, what has Gimghoul
done with you?

[Delvin narrating]
It broke my heart seeing
my dear Gwendolyn so upset.

So I tried to comfort her.

Please, don't cry, princess.

What? Who's that?

Your voice sounds familiar,
could it be my handsome prince?

Please, come out
where I can see you.

[instrumental music]

Oh! An ugly troll.
Go away, you horrible thing.

She found me repulsive.

That's why she must
never know who I really am.

I want her to remember me
only as I once was.

-A handsome prince.
-Don't give up yet, Delwin.

There has to be a way
to break this spell.

I'm not so sure, Gimghoul's
magic is very strong.

Uh, but it's not me
I'm worried about

I'm afraid for
my dear Gwendolyn.

I wish there was
some way to free her.

But she's guarded by
Gimghoul's ghost patrol.

Well, maybe so,
but we're the Ghostbusters.

We'll help you
free your princess.

Will you? Thank you!

You promise not to tell
Gwendolyn I'm the prince.

I still want her to remember me
as a handsome young man.

-Not as a hideous troll.
-Don't worry, Delwin.

You'll be a prince again.
We promise.

I still wish you'd
let me fly in.

Thanks, G.B.
But, you'll be spotted.

This way we can sneak in.

-Ready, guys.
-Yo, I am.

Then, let's go, G.B.

H-h-hang on.

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

Here we go.

-Yeow!
-Yeow! We're gonna hit.

Ooh, got it.

Yes, but we must
get over this wall.

At any moment
we could be spotted.

[Gimghoul] You already have
been spotted.

Uh-oh!

[Delwin] It's Gimghoul.

Uh, hi, sorry
to drop in unannounced.

We're the Ghostbusters.

Well, the Ghostbusters.

Well, too bad
you can't hang around
for my wedding.

But you have somewhere
else to go.

Actually, we don't.
Do we, Tracy?

-Uh-uh.
-Oh, but you do.

This little piggy
went to market.

Hey, wait, cut it out.

[Gimghoul] This little piggy
stayed home.

-Yeow!
-Bon voyage!

[screaming]

Quick thinking, Tracy.

Uh, thanks.

[dramatic music]

-That was a close call.
-[Eddie] Everyone all right?

-I'm okey-dokey.
-Me too.

But we still have to get
into that castle.

And how are we gonna
do that, Jake?

[Delwin] There's the answer.

The secret tunnel.
I forgot about it.

It leads inside the castle.

Great, Delwin,
that's our way in.

[music continues]

[Delwin] This is it.

This bridge will take us
right back into the castle.

Come on, Gwendolyn needs us.

He's right.
Let's go, Ghostbusters.

I don't like the looks of this.

[Jake] Eddie, come on.

Oh!

Eddie, quit shaking the bridge.

Hey, it's not me.

Oh, no, behind you. Look.

[thud]

Hey, you two, cut it out.

-Ha ha ha. Cut it out?
-Just what we had in mind.

-Oh, no.
-Look out.

Ta-ta, for now, Ghost Bunglers.

I'm sure getting tired
of hanging around this place.

Then let's get out
of here, now.

Uh, Ghostbusters, I'm afraid
I've got some bad news.

[snap]

-[Jake] Oh!
-[Eddie] Oh, no!

[ripping]

[Jake] Climb, guys. Keep...

[grunting]

Pull, Delwin. Pull.

[grunting]

[screaming]

[splash]

Now, we'll never
find a way into the castle

and rescue Gwendolyn.

-We're beaten.
-[Jake] Hold on, Delwin.

My Grandpa Kong always says

"You're not beaten,
until you quit trying."

And we're not about to quit.

-Right, guys.
-Yeah, that's right.

Thanks, Ghostbusters.

[instrumental music]

[Gwendolyn] Oh, Delwin.

Delwin, Delwin.

You evil monster,
what have you done with him?

Oh, he's safe enough, for now.

But unless you marry me
willingly...

...you will never
see him again.

Then I have no choice.

For Delwin's sake,
I will marry you.

Excellent.

Till tomorrow then.

[dramatic music]

Oh, what's happened to you?
Where are you?

I'm so worried.

This way to the princess.

[wizz]

That's what you think.

[upbeat music]

[growling]

[zap]

[clang]

[all laughing]

Ha. Now, Eddie
is a ghost knight.

Hmm, that give me an idea.

Now, we all look like
Gimghoul's skeleton group.

I say this ghost busting
business is jolly fun.

[chattering]

[instrumental music]

[clang, clang]

[whirr]

-Tracy.
-Where did he go?

He found a secret panel.

What are you, doing here?

You're suppose
to be with the princess.

[mumbling]

What? Speak out.

[zap]

Wait a minute, you're no ghost.

[chattering]

[Gimghoul] Ah, let him go.

Those Ghostbusters
are too late.

In a few minutes,
I'll be married
to the princess.

And I shall be ruler
of this land, at last.

[instrumental music]

Phew! Now I know
what a sardine feels like.

[Here Comes The Bride
instrumental]

What's that music?

It sounds like
the Wedding March.

No!

Thus thou, Princess Gwendolyn,take thee Gimghoul?

I-I...

-[Priest] I can't hear you.
-I-I said...

[Delwin] No!

Oh, no. Not again.

You're too late,
you troublesome troll.

The princess, is mine.

No, go away,
you horrible troll.

If I marry Gimghoul,
my prince will be safe.

She's doing that for me.

She loves you.
Tell her who you are.

No, I can't. I'm too ugly.

But I have to do something.

-Unhand her, Gimghoul.
-Make me, if you can?

[upbeat music]

-Heads up!
-Oh!

Oh! Trolls, ghost and now ape.

Oh, what a day.

I have had enough
of your meddling.

Guards, get them.

Don't bother, Gimghoul.
I'll deliver myself.

[music continues]

Have some gum.

[splaters]

-I'm stuck.
-Tracy, look out.

Phew!

Way to go, Trace.

Yeah, nice work.

Oh, no. The troll needs help.

My spell scepter,
will take care of you.

-You've missed.
-Not this time, troll.

Enjoy your flight.

[upbeat music]

As for the rest of you...

-Zap him, Jake.
-Right.

-Oh, no.
-Oh, yes.

-And now...
-Ooh!

Mind if I drop in.

Oh, you troublesome troll,
I'll...

Sorry,
you're history, Gimghoul.

[zap]

Thanks, guys.

My heroes.

Thanks to all of you,my kingdom is safe once again.

We couldn't have done it
without the troll.

I know.
And I owe him an apology.

Friend troll, I am ashamed.

I was very mean to youand yet you came to my rescue.

Please forgive me,
my beautiful and brave,
troll friend.

[mwah]

[instrumental music]

Oh, I'm-I'm me again.

Oh, Delwin.
It's you, you were the troll.

Yes, my darling, but now
the spell has been broken

by your kiss.

Gee, Gwendolyn's kiss
broke the spell

just like in a real fairy tale.

That's right, Eddie.

And you know what happens nextin a fairy tale?

Uh, yeah.

[all] They all live
happily ever after.

[all laughing]

Oh, I just love happy endings.

Me too, Madam.

But the best part was,
when the princess
kissed the troll

she didn't know
it was her prince.

[mwah]

Yeah, she liked him anyway.

Well, that's important
to remember.

We should except people,
for who they are

not what they look like.

Right on.
