Some things start out big...
and some things start out small.
Very small.
But sometimes the smallest thing...
can make the biggest changes ofall.
- Yar, what is it? - I donīt know.
Plio, get back here! We donīt know what it is!
Plio, be careful.
Dad, get over here.
- Zini, itīs not safe. - Oh, I always have to go when stuffīs happening.
- Well, what is it? - It was an egg.
Look!
- What? - Itīs a cold-blooded monster from across the sea.
Vicious, flesh-eating.
- Looks like a baby to me. - Babies grow up.
You keep that thing, one day weīll turn our backs--
Itīll be picking us out of its teeth.
Things like that eat things like us as snacks!
- So, what do we do? - Get rid of it!
What has gotten into you?
Plio, that thing is dangerous!
Iīm sorry, little one.
Okay, get rid of it.
All right, I will.
Youīd better hurry up, Dad. It looks hungry.
Here.
Itīs okay. Weīll teach him to hate meat.
Watch his head.
I-l mean, watch it. He could bite.
This monsterīs got no teeth. Whatīs he gonna do, gum us to death?
Zini, come on. Look at that sweet little face.
Does that look like a monster to you?
Let me out! Let me out!
Hair ball!
That was great! Get him!
Oh, no! Attacking lemurs! Suri, please!
I canīt take it! There are too many of you!
Come on! Pick on somebody your own size. Stop!
Help! All right, get up, get up, get up! Hold it! l-- No, stop it! Stop it!
Oh, no--
Aladar? Youīre not dead.
- No! - All right, guys, break it up.
Remember the courtship? Youīre gonna miss seeing all that smooching.
- Oh! - Oh, Mom!
Thatīs okay, Plio. We can smooch right here!
- Itīs a shame you donīt like kids. - Nasty little vermin.
Go find Zini. Heīs rehearsing pickup lines.
Letīs hope heīs found some new material.
Hey, sweetie, if youīll be my bride, līll groom ya.
That is good. Oh, thatīs good.
Girls, līm known as the professor of love...
and schoolīs in session!
Yeah, I still got it.
I hope itīs not contagious.
Iīm a raging epidemic of romance.
Come on, hot stuff. Letīs get going. You donīt wanna miss Yarīs annual pep talk.
Oh, goody. I canīt wait to hear the mating advice of an old monkey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I heard that in his day that old monkey was quite a swinger.
- You talkinī about Yar? - Yeah.
- To hear him tell it, he put the prime in primate. - Really?
Okay, boys, gather īround. Listen and learn from the master.
Now, girls, donīt jump into the trees after the first boy with a cute back flip.
Itīs more fun if you keep them guessing.
And if a cute back flip doesnīt work, guess.
Youīre never going to forget this day, so make it one to remember.
But if you mess up, donīt worry. Theyīll never remember.
Come on, guys. We donīt wanna let īem down.
- Go on, now! Chest out, chin up! - Whoo!
Make īem look good, son.
Come on, Yar. With my charm and your brains, no problem.
Hey, girls, look what just pulled into town.
- Hey, ladies! - Your buffet table of love.
- Right here, right here! - Hey, beautiful!
Hey, free samples! Get me while līm hot!
- Whooa! - Wow!
Zini!
Youīre missing all the action, pal. Come on.
Hey, havenīt you heard? I am the action! Whoo!
Ah, donīt worry, Zini. You always have next year.
Hey, līm lucky to be rid of them.
With the ladies, before you know it they all wanna move to a bigger tree.
Oh, well. Poor Zini. The clan still has one bachelor.
No, we have two.
Well, itīs never really been his best event.
- Heīs got a tougher hide than mine. - Oh, Aladar.
If only there was someone on the island for you.
Well, you know, who looks like you, but prettier.
Come on, Plio. What more could I want?
- What are they? - I donīt know.
- Dad? - Somethingīs wrong.
Aladar, whereīs Suri?
Sheīs up in the tree.
Come on! Go, go! Come on!
- Mom! - Suri!
- Mom! Mom! - Suri!
- Mom! - Suri, where are you?
Run, Aladar! Run! Run!
Yar, come on!
- Zini, jump!Jump! - Zini, jump!
- Zini! - Hold on!
Plio! Yar! Where are you?
Aladar! Over here!
Oh, Suri. Easy. Easy.
Theyīre all gone.
Shh, shh.
Iīm here.
Come on. We canīt stay here.
Now, now, Suri. Thereīs nothing to be afraid of.
- Look! - Whoa!
- Did you see that? - What?
- I did. - Me too!
- Where did it go? - I donīt know. Letīs go see.
- Leave it alone-- Hey! - Shh, Dad!
- I-ltīs scaring Suri here. - No, itīs not.
Everyone just be quiet.
- Yar, grab on! - I canīt reach!
Aladar, theyīre stopping!
Huh?
Stay out of my way!
You heard Kron. Move it!
Watch it!
Zini, get your head down!
Walkinī backwards, huh? Well, let me know if that gets you there any faster.
Keep those little legs movinī, Url, or youīll get left behind.
Look at all the Aladars!
I-lfyouīre even thinking ofjoining them--
Hang on! Hang on!
Kron.
There is a more protected spot further down the--
Weīll rest here for the night. Go ahead, Bruton.
Oh, Eema, I wish we were at your nesting grounds now.
All this pushing and shoving about, just for a place to sleep.
Iīm not used to this kind of behaviour.
Baylene, you got big feet. Just give īem a kick. Git!
Oh, I could not possibly.
Uh, uh, shoo, shoo.
Will you come on, Baylene?
You wanna get to the nesting grounds alive? Show some backbone.
Hey there!
Oh, sorry about that. Uh, itīsjust we overheard you talking, and, um--
Well, my word. Look at Url.
He doesnīt normally warm up to strangers so fast.
- What an unfortunate blemish. - Good mud bathīd clear those right up.
Excuse me?
Um, heīs my grandfather, a couple times removed.
Try a couple ofspecies removed.
Uh, uh, uh, my nameīs Aladar. This is my family.
Weīre all thatīs left.
Oh, my dear, līm so sorry.
Bayleneīs the last of her kind.
Finding stragglers like her all along the way.
I heard you say something about nesting grounds.
It is the most beautiful place there is, child.
Itīs where the herd goes to have their babies.
Will we find anybody that looks like us there?
Oh, the last few days līve seen īem all shapes and sizes.
Who knows what weīll find.
The hard job now isjust getting there.
- And weīre being driven unmercifully. - By who?
- Kron, the herdīs head honcho. - We can hardly keep up.
A-An older woman like myself, itīs-- well, itīs positively indecent.
Then tell him. Whatīs the worst he can do?
Oh!
Hey! Whatīs his problem?
- Thatīs him, honey. Kron. - Huh.
Uh, excuse me. Kron! You got a second?
- Get lost, kid. - Relax, Bruton.
- Who are you? - Uh, Aladar.
Why arenīt you uphill with the--
uh, young bloods?
Well, I was back here talking to these guys.
I guess they-- theyīre having a hard time keeping up.
So, you know, maybe you could slow it down a bit.
Hmm. Let the weak set the pace. Now, thereīs an idea.
Better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar.
Hey, they need help back here.
Watch yourself, boy.
Donīt worry. Thatīs how my brother treats newcomers.
No matter how charming they are.
You sure know how to catch a girlīs eye there, stud.
I wouldnīt be catchinī nobodyīs eye if I was you, especially Neeraīs.
You just keep your head down, and you mind what Kron tells you.
Since when do we take orders from the likes of him?
Kron has swatted flies bigger than you, pops.
I could hold that monsterīs brain in the palm of my--
No, Yar, sheīs right-- better to keep our heads down with this bunch...
than get īem bitten off by those things.
Well, you just consideryourself lucky thatīs all thatīs following us.
Hey, wake up. Enough with the beauty sleep. Youīre ravishing already.
Hey! Hello! Anybody in there?
Zini, what are you doing?
I believe you left a wake-up call for the dawn oftime.
- Come on! Move it! - Whatīs the hurry?
Somethingīs up. The herdīs gathering without us. Letīs check it out.
Rise and shine! Kron says everybody goes.
Come on, get up. On your feet.
The charm never stops around here.
- You say something? - Uh, no. No, sir.
Unless you got a death wish, you and that little parasite better get moving!
Sheesh, is that guy ugly, or what?
Hey, hey, hey, thereīs your girlfriend.
-What are you talking about? -You know what līm talking about: Neera.
Scaly skin, yellow eyes, big ankles.
Yeah. I made a real impression on her.
What you need is a little help from the love monkey.
- "The love monkey"? - Oh, baby!
That, children, is whatīs known as a jerkosaurus.
And with that, the ice is broken.
Weīve got a lot of first-timers here. Make sure they get it.
We stop for nothing and no one.
If this is your first crossing, listen up.
There is no water till we reach the other side.
And youīd better keep up, īcause if a predator catches you, youīre on your own. Move out!
Oh, my goodness.
It looks like a very long walk.
And hot. If you smell somethinī sizzlinī, it could be me.
- Weīre moving too slow. - Iīll pick up the pace.
Hey, old girl, youīre wandering off a bit.
Thatīs all I need: a monkey on my back.
On your feet, Eema. We canīt let those things eat you.
Theyīre out there waiting.
The lake!
- We made it? - Itīsjust over that-- that hill, baby.
Oh, thank goodness.
Come on, Eema. Water. Remember water?
Well, itīs time to refresh my memory.
Ooh, līm just gonna walk right into that lake...
until the waterīs up to my eyeballs...
and soak it all in.
Maybe the rains collected somewhere else.
What do you want us to do?
Take a scout and check the entire perimeter.
Enough! You have to be strong now!
The nesting grounds are only a few days away! Keep moving!
Kron, weīve never gone this long without water.
If we keep going like this, weīll lose halfthe herd.
Then we save the half that deserves to live.
What, theyīre moving already? Oh, weīll never keep up.
There was water here.
Always water here before.
We always had water. Always.
And-- And plenty of mud.
Oh, Eema, please. The herd wonīt wait. We must carry on.
You gotta get up!
- There was water everywhere. - There is no water, dear.
Baylene, donīt move.
Uh, what is it? Whatīs wrong?
- Do you hear that? - I sure do.
Lift your foot, Baylene.
Now press down.
I always did like big girls!
- Water. - Oh, my goodness!
- Water! Come on! - They found water.
Thatīs it, Eema. Come drink.
Kron, look. All we had to do was dig and--
Good. Now get out ofthe way.
Wait! Wait! Thereīs enough for everyone!
Eema!
Thatīs it. Keep pushing and shoving. Thatīs very helpful.
Bruton, weīve been walking in circles. Thereīs no water here.
- I think we should get back. - Shh. Keep it down.
Letīs get out of here.
Now, you come out on three.
One, two, three!
Come on. Come on out. No oneīs gonna hurt you.
Hey, hey, whatīs going on?
The little Aladars havenīt had anything to drink.
I think theyīre scared of me.
Well, who wouldnīt be? You are pretty scary.
Come on over, guys.
Take it easy. Donīt worry. Sheīs just a hair ball.
And proud of it. Come on. Heīs gonna find you some water.
Here. Now, you just take a foot and press.
Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, come on, come on. Knock it off.
Letīs-- Letīs work together here, huh? A little teamwork.
Ready? One, two, three.
Press!
Good job, Suri.
So, where are your parents, anyway?
A lot of us are on our own now.
- You like kids, I see. - Well, the skinny ones can be a little chewy.
Iīm Aladar, the jerkosaurus.
Oh. Sorry about that.
- Probably right. - Dad, wake up.
Huh?
- Why did you help that old one? - What else could we do?
Leave her behind?
Oh, you mean you actually--
Well, that happens all the time.
- You donīt survive if youīre not-- - Strong enough.
Well, yeah.
Is that you talking, or your brother?
Everythingīs so different. I-- I donīt know what to think any more.
Look, Neera, we watch out for each other...
we all stand a chance of getting to your nesting grounds.
- You sound so sure. - Iīm not.
But itīs all I know.
So, um-- Oh, water.
Iīll, uh, get you some water.
- Can I try? - Sure. Just press.
- Hmm. - Oops!
- Sorry. - No, you-- you first.
One down and--
Well, one down.
Kron! Carnotaurs!
What? They never come this far north.
The fireball mustīve driven them out.
You led them right to us! Maybe you can feed them with your hide!
Move the herd out, double-time!
- Whatīs happening? - My brotherīs moving the herd.
Kron! Whatīs going on?
Carnotaurs. If we donīt keep moving, theyīll catch up to us.
But the others in the back, theyīll never make it.
- Theyīll slow down the predators. - You canīt sacrifice them like this!
Hold it! That could be you back there, or you!
If you ever interfere again, līll kill you.
Stay away from him!
Aladar, no! You just-- Just go. Iīll be okay.
Letīs go! Letīs go! Carnotaurs!
- Carno-what? - Carnotaur.
A mouthfull of teeth with a bad attitude. Letīs go.
Come on, you guys, get on, get on! Weīre gonna get left behind.
Go on.
Letīs go! Hurry up! Weīre losing them!
Aladar, slow down!
Oh, joy. Blisters.
Iīve got blisters on my blisters.
You donīt wanna know where I got blisters.
- What was that? - It came from up ahead.
Okay, whatīs the worst thing it could be?
A carnotaur.
Okay, whatīs the second worst thing it could be?
Two carnotaurs!
- Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness! - Thatīs it! līm gone!
Everybody! We donīt know for sure. It could be the herd. Letīs check it out.
Oh, itīs Bruton.
It appears we werenīt the only ones left behind.
- What happened? - Carnotaurs.
- Oh, we should keep moving. - We canīt just leave him here.
We can if we move fast enough.
Hey, uh, you donīt look so good. Let me help you.
Save your pity. I just need some rest.
- Now get away from me. - Suit yourself.
If you change your mind, weīll be in those caves.
Itīs dark, but at least itīs dry.
I like dry. Itīs the dark part līm having trouble with.
Ouch! Sorry, Url.
Sturdy little thing, ainīt he?
Ahem. We appear to have a visitor.
You coming in, or what?
What is it with you?
At least I know enough to get in out of the rain.
Now come on. On your feet.
Uh, you can lie down with us. Itīs warmer.
May I remind you that heīs one of them?
Well, looks like heīs one of us now.
Who booked this trip, anyway?
Ah, youīll be at the nesting grounds soon enough.
Well, when I get there, līm gonna give Kron a piece of my mind.
You tell him, Eema.
If I could sleep that deep, līd be in paradise.
If you could sleep that deep, honey, youīd be dead.
This plant grew on our island.
It will make you feel better.
Why is he doing this, pushing them on with false hope?
Itīs hope thatīs gotten us this far.
But why doesnīt he let them accept their fate?
- Iīve accepted mine. - And what is your fate?
To die here.
- Itīs the way things are. - Only if you give up, Bruton.
Itīs your choice, not your fate.
Well, the plant will help.
Carnotaurs.
- What do we do? - Wake the others.
Go, go! Hurry!
Move it, Eema!
Aladar! Aladar! Oh, no!
Iīll hold them off! You help the others!
Bruton!
Bruton! No!
Bruton!
You did what you could.
Itīs okay, little ones.
Weīre going to make it.
Okay, okay, letīs do it again. Letīs do it again. Um, I spy with my little eye--
- A rock. - You got it again! Ooh, you are good!
Well, līll tell you what I spy-- a dead end.
- What do we do now? - I guess we just go back.
- Hold on a moment. - Zini, what is it?
- Do you smell that? - Yeah!
- Get a load of that! - Good show!
Everybody stand back! Weīre out of here!
Run!
Aladar, look out!
No!
Aladar, weīll go back.
Back to what? ltīs gone.
Weīre not meant to survive.
Oh, yes, we were. Weīre here, arenīt we?
And how dare you waste that good fortune by simply giving up?
Well, shame on you. Shame on you, shame on you.
The worst of it is...
you allowed an old fool like me to believe I was needed...
that I still had a purpose. And do you know what?
You were right. And līm going to go on believing it.
And l, for one, am not willing to die here.
Oh, dear.
The nesting grounds. Itīs-- Itīs untouched.
- Our new home. - And it comes with a pool!
Cannonball!
Ha. Amateur.
Look out below!
Not bad. But I donīt get it. Whereīs the herd?
Not to mention Neera.
Theyīll get here soon enough.
- Oh, no. - Eema?
- I spoke too soon. - What is it?
That is the way we used to get in here.
Theyīll never make it over that.
Aladar, wait, wait! Kronīll eat you alive.
Let him try.
I hope Kronīs in a listening mood.
Stay here.
Weīll find a way around it.
In the morning, weīll climb it.
We have to keep trying.
Our survival, our future, is over these rocks.
Now, letīs go home!
- Youīll make it, wonīt you, boys? - No!
Watch them. Theyīre tough. If they can do it, so can you!
Kron!
Get the herd out of here! A carnotaurīs coming!
- Keep moving! - Stop!
Iīve been to the valley. Thereīs a safer way.
- Go on, show īem! - Kron, listen to him.
- Look, we gotta go now! - Go where? Straight to the carnotaurs?
If we hurry, we can get around them! You canīt get over those rocks!
Thereīs a sheer drop on the other side.
Youīre gonna kill the herd! I know a way to the valley, and everybody can make it!
Now follow me!
Kron!
Theyīre staying with me!
All right, letīs go.
Neera!
Heīs led that monster right to us! This way!
No! Donīt move!
If we scatter, heīll pick us off. Stand together.
No. No.
Kron.
Welcome home.
Move over, everybody. Bringing in babies is what I do best.
Iīd say itīs been a few years since you hatched an egg.
Youīre right. So let me practise on your head.
Look! Somebody wants to meet you.
Oh, arenīt you the sweetest little small fry I ever did see.
Hey, little guy. He looks just like me.
Meet your dad. Heīs not as crazy as he looks.
Oh! Oh, happy day.
- Well done, little one. - Come here, you little rascal.
Let me get a good look at you.
Yep, youīre your fatherīs son, all right.
Hey, look what I found! New neighbours!
Any of you ladies up for a game of, uh, "monkey in the middle"?
Easy, now! Easy! Hey! Whoo!
None of us really know what changes, big or small, lie ahead.
One thing is certain-- our journeyīs not over.
We can only hope that in some small way...
our time here will be remembered.
