[ Chuckles ]
Come on.
Don't go near it. We don't know where it's been.
But. Dada. it's a baby.
- It's not like us. - No. It's not a Nelwyn.
- Itlooks likea Daikini baby. - What's a Daikini?
Daikinis are big.
- Giants who live far away. - [ Laughing ]
Oh. she's so cute.
- Can't we keep it. Dada? - No!
We'll push it downstream and forget we ever saw it. Come on.
- Come on. - Ufgood! Willow Ufgood!
Shhh! It's the prefect. That's all I need.
Keep it quiet. Don't touch it.
[Woman]Mr. Burglekutt, my husband hasn't stolen anything!
Baaa!
Ufgood. you still haven't paid your debts to me.
Where did you get these seeds?
Well. maybe I used magic.
[ Laughs ] You're no sorcerer. Ufgood. You're a clown.
I sell the planting seeds around here. Now tell me where you got them.
My family's been gathering them in the forest since last fall.
- There's no law against that. - [Children Laughing]
Willow. you didn't leave them alone by the river?
Magic? You'll need magic...
if you expect to get your planting done before the rains start.
I will have this land. And you're gonna end up working in the mines.
- [ Burglekutt ] Baaa-- - [ Hog Snorting ]
[ Giggling ] Oh. you're lovely.
- Yes. you are. - [ Coos ]
- Kiaya! - Oh. Willow!

Yes. you are. Come on. Mims. Come on. Come on.
There we are. Come on.
Hey. I will not be ignored!
Mims? Ranon?
- [ Fussing ] - You're gonna be all clean.
[ Baby Giggling ]
Willow. do you think we should take her to the village council?
No. No. They'll think it's a bad omen.
There'll be a flood or a drought. and eveyone will blame me for it.
""Willow Ufgood brought around that Daikini. didn't he?
That's right. He's that lousy farmer too. Let's get him!''
- Willow. calm down. - Calm down?
Kiaya. tomorrow's my big day.
Love, the High Aldwin hasn't picked a new apprentice in years.
Tomorrow's gonna be different. I just know he's gonna pick me.
- Here. Hold her. - Hey. no. I don't want her. Kiaya.
- Hold her while I get some milk. - Oh. no. no. Oh.

Bring forth the hopefuls.
- Good luck. - Good luck. Dada.
Willow Ufgood. a hopeful? How did he get picked?
Is this a joke? [ Guffaws ]
-[Burglekutt's Laughing Continues] - Willow?
Magic is the bloodstream of the universe!
Forget all you know... or think you know.
All that your require is your intuition.
Now. the power to control the world...
is in which finger?

- [ Baby Coos ] - I'm here.
[ Relieved Sigh ]
- Oh. Kiaya. - [ Baby Fussing ]
We can't keep the baby. Kiaya.
We have to take her to the village council.
[People Chattering]
Silence! One beast we can kill. but there may be more.
And you can be assured that they won't give up...
until they findwhat they're looking for!
-[Man #1]It's a sign! -[Man #2] Who's to blame for this?
[Man #3] We must find the culprit and throw him in the pit!
- [ Shouting In Agreement ] - [Villagers]In the pit!In the pit!
In the pit!In the pit!
-In the pit!In the pit! - Willow.
-[Chanting Continues] - Willow Ufgood.
Come forward.
[ villagers Murmuring ]
My children found this baby alone by the river. High Aldwin.
[ Cying ]
- A Daikini child. - [ villagers Gasping ]
That's what the beasts want. Let's give it back to them!
[ villagers ] Yeah!
- They'll kill her! You can't! - It isn't one ofus.
This child is special!
This child must be taken beyond the boundaries of our village.
All the way across the great river...
to the Daikini crossroads.
- Well. who'll do that? - It seems only fair...
that the man to take this baby to the crossroads...
be the vey man who plucked it out of the river.
- I nominate Willow Ufgood. - [ villagers Shout Agreement ]
No!
I will consult the bones!
[ Fussing ]
- The bones tell me... nothing. -[Baby Coos]
Do you have any love for this child?
Yes. Yes. I do.
- The bones have spoken! - [ villagers Murmuring ]
Willow Ufgood. the safety of this village depends upon you.
- Praise the bones! - [ Repeating ] Praise the bones!
[HighAldwin] But you will need help.
Who has the courage to protect our brave fellow on his journey?
- I'll go with him. - Ah, Meegosh.
- Bxcellent choice. - I'll go!
[ villagers. Shouting ] vohnkar! vohnkar!
No! Not vohnkar! He's the best warrior in the village!
We need him here! Vohnkar, step back!
All this expedition needs is a leader.
Andaccording to the bones...
- Bh-- -that leader is...
you. Burglekutt!
vohnkar!
- What's your problem. son? - How do you mean?
When I held up my fingers what was your first impulse?
- Well. it was stupid. -Just tell me.
- To pick my own finger. - Aha! That was the correct answer.
You lack faith in yourself. More than anyone in the village.
you have the potential to be a great sorcerer.
Now. when you're out there. listen to your own heart.
- These will protect you. They're magic! - Acorns?
Anything you throw them at turns to stone.
You have much to learn. young Ufgood.
- Are you scared. Dada? - No!
Bven with fairies in the woods that'll put you to sleep for a hundred years?
- Doesn't bother me. - Brownies?
- Dragons? - Trolls?
Trolls that'll skin you alive and take your face off?
Ranon! You know I hate trolls.
I can beyour guard and cary your spear.
Me too. Me too. Dada.
What a lucky father I am. I wish I could take you bobbins with me.
Good-bye. Dada.
Go play! Go on.
We've never been apart.
I miss you already.
Don't wory. Kiaya. I'll be fine.
I'll be back before you know it.
Well. remember to keep her warm.
And... here.
This will bring you luck.
Good brave people!
The outerworld is no place for a Nelwyn.
Give the baby to the first Daikini you see. then hury home.
Tuatha... lokwathrak... tuatha!
[HighAldwin] Goin the direction the birdis flying!
- [ Giggling ] - Ooh.
It's going back to the village!
Ignore the bird. Follow the river.
Move out!
[ Fussing ]
- Hold on. Meegosh. - What's wrong?
- We have to stop. - Stop? Why?
- The baby's sick. - [ Bawling ]
She's not sick! Let me see.
Uhaghh! Take her! Take her!
-[Burglekutt's Groans Continue] - [ Laughing ]
She'll be fine once she gets some rest.
[ Cooing ]
[ Groaning ] Clean me up.
[ Bavmorda ] I didn't ask you to bring me a dead nurse maid.
-Sorsha. you're useless! -I'm backtracking the nurse maid's trail.
I'll find where she hid the baby.
Ah. General Kael. at last.
My queen. I have destroyed the castle at Galladoorn.
Well done. But now I have another task foryou.
Help my daughter to find that tiny. helpless baby...
that continues somehow to elude her.
The baby of the prophecy?
- The one that would destroyyou? - I need that baby alive.
I must perform the ritual that will...
exile the child's spirit into oblivion.
- Find her! - I don't need his help. Mother.
You'll do as I say. child.
I read the signs.
One day. I fear. your daughter will betray you.
I trust her loyalty more than I trust yours.
[ Baby Cooing ]
- [ Squealing ] -[Dogs Barking, MenShouting]
- Move! -[Baby Fussing]
It's an ambush. Come on. Move!
-[Dogs Barking] - [ Horses Neighing ]
- Come on! - [ Dogs Snarling ]
The Nelwyns have got the baby. We've searched the village.
But a group of them are on the road somewhere.
They couldn't have gone far!
Widen the search and report to Sorsha!
- [Dog Barks Fading] - [ Sputtering Sigh ]
Come. We'll keep to the woods.
That's it! It's the crossroads!
[Dogs Howling In The Distance]
[ vohnkar] Keep this fire high. We don't know what's out there.
[ Whimpers ]
-[Creature Shrieking] - What was that?
Get the spears!
[ Cying ]
- [Shrieking] - [ Gasps ]
- [ Growling ] - Uhh. Uhh.
Give me some water. peck. or you die.
Do you understand?
- Water. - Yeah.
[ Grunts. Groans ]
Hury up!
Get me some water. you measly little pecks.
It's a Daikini. We're in luck.
We can't give her to him!
- Somebody put him there for a reason. - We've got to get rid ofher.
- Those soldiers are after us. - Shhh.
He's looking right at us.
We've got to give that baby to somebody.
I'm somebody.
Let me out ofhere. I'll take care of the baby. [ Smooching Sounds ]
- I trust him completely. - But he tried to strangle me.
- I want to go home! - No, Burglekutt!
- We should wait! - Are you challenging my authority?
As far as this baby is concerned... yes.
Don't listen to him, Burglekutt.
Fine. You stay here alone. but we're going.
That's a bad idea. Very bad.
- Dangerous out there. - [Burglekutt]Get the gear, men.
- vohnkar-- - It's not his decision!
Burglekutt. you're troll dung.
Don't let him talk to you that way.
Listen here. runt.
While you're wasting time here. your fields aren't getting planted.
- Think about it! - Burglekutt. I'm gonna--
You're gonna what?
[ Laughs ]
Some day. Burglekutt. Some day.
vohnkar. let's go!
Meegosh. are you coming?
- I'm staying. - [ Laughs ] Come on. men.
Burglekutt. let me out of here. I'll take care of the baby. I swear.
just let me out of here. Please!
vohnkar. let me borrow that spear... just for a minute.
Get-- Well. at least get me some water!
Burglekutt. don't leave me alone with these two! [ Frustrated Grunt ]
- [ Baby Cying ] - What'll we do now. Willow?
Well. that was really stupid. peck.
- Don't call me a peck. - Oh. I'm sory... peck.
- Peck. peck. peck. peck. - You be careful!
I'm a powerful sorcerer. See this acorn?
- I'll throw it. and turn you to stone. - Whoo--
I'm really scared.
No, don't! Don't!
There's a peck here with an acorn pointed at me!
Oh. I wouldn't want to waste it.
Ha! Peck. peck. peck. peck.
peck. peck. peck. peck. peck!
[Insects Twittering]
[ Neighing ]
- [ Both Grunting ] - [Meegosh] What was that?
Mornin'. boys.
Rough night last night. wasn't it?
I don't think I introduced myselfyesterday.
My name is Madmartigan. and you are. uh--
No. Meegosh. Don't go near him.
- He's dangerous. - I am not.
Good.
Stop! Wait!
- [Horse Neighing] - Whoa!
- [ Chuckles ] - [Horse Gallops Past]
- What's going on? - Smells like a battle.
I suppose you're a warrior.
I am the greatest swordsman that ever lived.
Hmph.
Say. uh-- Could I have some of that water?
[ Sips Noisily]
[ Sobbing ]
I don't know why I ty. [ Sobbing ]
I guess I am gonna die here. Who cares.
- Here. - Thanks. friend. Oh!
- [DistantRumbling] - What's that?
[Madmartigan]I'd say two or three hundred horses,
five or six wagons... and about a thousand fools.
[Madmartigan Grunting]
- Thank you. Ohh-- - Come on. Meegosh.
[ Panting ]
[ Willow ] It's gonna be all right. little bobbin.
[Drums Beating]
- [ Fussing ] - Bveything's gonna be all right.
[Drumbeats Continue]
- Bxcuse me. sir. - Out ofthe way. peck!
Uh, pardon me.
Uh--
[Drumbeats Continue]
Bxcuse me. sir. We found one of your babies in our village.
Will you please take care of her?
We're going into battle. little ones. Find a woman to take care ofher.
They thought you were a woman. Airk.
Well-- [ Laughs ]
-Madmartigan. what did you do this time? -Nothing you wouldn't have done.
I always knew you'd end up in a crow's cage.
At least I'm not down there herding sheep.
What are you doing this far north?
The Nockmaar army destroyed Galladoorn.
The castle?
Bavmorda's troops are crushing eveything in sight.
Come on. Let me out of here. Airk.
Give me a sword. I'll win this war for you.
Madmartigan-- I still serve Galladoorn.
You serve no one.
Remember?
Sit in your coffin and rot.
- Hyah! - Wait. Airk. You need me!
I'll be around long after you're dead!
When I get out of here, I'm gonna cut your head off...
and stick it on a pig pole!
[ Baby Cooing ]
- [ Fussing ] - I miss Kiaya and the bobbins.
We're running out of food.
Nobody's gonna take care of that baby.
You know why? Nobody cares.
Bxcept me.
You want to go back to your families. I want out of this cage.
Let me take care of that baby. I'll look after her like she was my own.
I believe he would. Willow.
He doesn't know anything about babies.
Right. But I know a lot of women who do.
If I had somebody in my life,
a little daughter. perhaps.
I might have a reason to go on living.
You can't leave me in here to die.
Not when all I want to do is protect her.
[ Cooing ]
[ Yells. Laughs ]
I feel better! [ Laughs ]
-You've done the right thing! [ Whoops ] -Okay. All right. All right.
- You gotta promise to feed her. - Come to Daddy. little darlin'.
- And keep her clean. - Absolutely.
- [ Madmartigan ] Hee. hee. hee! -[Baby Giggling]
- Wheee! - [ Baby Squeals ]
She likes me.
[ Giggles ]
Here are her changing rags.
- And her milk bladder. - Any milk in there?
- It's for her! - I wouldn't steal from a baby.
- [ Cooing ] - You wory too much. peck.
- It's Willow. - I mean Willow.
Now listen. boys-- Willow. You've done the right thing.
And I want you to get home and bring your crop in.
- Good-bye. little one. -[Cooing]
Please. take good care ofher.
I give you my word of honor!
- Meegosh. slow down! - Oh. come on!
If we hury. we can be home by tomorrow morning. We'll be heroes.
- Doyou really think so? - Sure.
""Look. there's Willow and Meegosh.
The heroes have come home.''
""Welcome back. boys. You deserve medals!''
- Yeah. Medals. - [ Both Laughing ]
Meegosh--

You are mine to toy with.

I stole it from a stupid Daikini. [ Laughs ]
