WHICH WAY? WAIT. HOLD ON A SECOND. HOLD ON A SECOND.
PRINCE-- WHERE'S PRINCE? PRINCE? PRINCE!
WHERE ARE YOU, PRINCE?
HEY... IS THIS STILL THE RIGHT WAY
TO YOUR CASTLE?
RIGHT. UM... I'LL GO AND GET A STICK.
A STICK? NO. HOLD ON A SECOND HERE--
BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
YOUR STEPMOTHER IS MY WIFE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? THE QUEEN.
WELL, SHE WAS THE KIND OF WOMAN THAT EVERYBODY WAS DRAWN TO.
I WAS JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE-- I WAS CRAZY ABOUT HER.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEN SHE SAID SHE'D MARRY ME.
I-I KNEW SHE WAS SLEEPING WITH OTHER GUYS.
SHE WASN'T EVEN DISCREET ABOUT IT.
I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T LIKE HEARING THAT
BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO HEAR HOW NICE SHE WAS
BECAUSE SHE WAS YOUR MOTHER-- THE TRUTH IS
THAT SHE WALKED OUT ON US
AND PROBABLY NEVER GAVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT.
WELL... I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
AW, SUCK AN ELF! WE'RE COMPLETELY LOST!
WE'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES FOR HOURS.
( growling )
SHUT UP.
LOOKEE LOOK!
I'M NOT DEAD YET.
YOU WANT SOME HELP? SO DO I.
EH, HELP YOURSELF.
YEAH. SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HELPED US?
YOU WON'T FIND THEM ON YOUR OWN.
WELL... WE MIGHT, YOU NEVER KNOW.
AND IF WE FAIL, WE FAIL AS FAMILY.
YES, THREE TROLLS WITH THE COURAGE OF ONE.
I CAN FIND THEM.
I JUST CAN'T CATCH THEM ON MY OWN.
HE MIGHT HELP US.
HE MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA, OKAY.
WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE?
A PARTNERSHIP.
( barking )
( echoing ): SHE NEVER WANTED ME, DID SHE?
NO. IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.
I HEAR THEM
RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE ROYAL ESTATE.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE NIGHT SHE LEFT
BUT I REMEMBER THE MORNING AFTER, BECAUSE...
( chuckling ): YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE ME BREAKFAST
AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ANYTHING WAS.
WELL, I HAD TO CALL YOUR GRANDMOTHER OVER
TO LOOK AFTER YOU, 'CAUSE I HAD TO GO TO WORK.
SHE KEPT SAYING, "LOOK, LOOK, SHE'S PLAYING WITH HER BEARS.
SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE."
I NOTICED YOU HAD THREE BEARS.
YOU HAD TAKEN ONE DOWN, SHOVED IT IN A CORNER
AND YOU SAID TO HIM
"NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STAY THERE ALL ALONE."
WELL, I KNEW SHE'D COME BACK
BECAUSE SHE'D LEFT ALL HER CLOTHES, YOU KNOW?
( laughing ): AND SHE LOVED HER CLOTHES
MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.
AND I KEPT GOING INTO HER ROOM
AND CHECKING ON THEM.
AND THEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS
YOU SUDDENLY SAID THAT WE HAD TO GET RID OF THEM ALL, SO...
I REMEMBER FOLDING THEM ALL VERY NEATLY
AND I KEPT HOPING THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE
A, YOU KNOW, A SECRET NOTE OR SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE WRITTEN FOR ME-- YOU KNOW, JUST TO ME--
TELLING ME THAT SHE LOVED ME
AND EXPLAINING THE SECRET, MAGICAL REASON
WHY SHE HAD TO GO, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, I STILL HAVE THIS UNCONTROLLABLE URGE
TO JUST GO UP TO PEOPLE AND SAY
MY MOTHER LEFT ME WHEN I WAS SEVEN!
YOU KNOW? AS IF THAT'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.
AND I MISS HER.
AND I HATE HER.
AND I MISS HER.
( sobbing )
AND I FEEL LIKE...
I WAS ON A TRAIN AND IT CRASHED OR SOMETHING
AND NO ONE CAME AND RESCUED ME.
( coughing )
GOD...
I ALWAYS WANTED MY LIFE TO BE A FAIRY STORY, YOU KNOW?
AND NOW IT IS.
OH!
DAD? DAD?
( all growling )
KILL OUR DAD, WOULD YOU?
WAIT. LOOK...
YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE--
AFTER THE QUEEN
IS FINISHED WITH HER.
( soft barking )
( whimpering )
( canine growling )
WHAT'S WRONG?
SIR?
WAKE.
IS IT BREAKFAST?
YOU'RE NOT YOURSELF, SIR.
WHAT IS THE MATTER?
SIR, WHAT IS MY NAME?
SIR, I'VE KNOWN YOU ALL YOUR LIFE
I EVEN HELPED BRING YOU INTO BEING
AND YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHO I AM, DO YOU?
UM...
I'M, I'M JUST...
I'M A DOG, OKAY?
I'M JUST A LITTLE DOG, THAT'S WHAT I AM.
I WANT TO GO HOME.
I WANT TO STAY ON ALL FOURS.
PLEASE, HELP ME, OLD CHAP.
I'M JUST A POOR LITTLE DOG.
I'M COMPLETELY OUT OF MY DEPTH HERE.
MAGIC.
I SUSPECTED AS MUCH.
I MUST GET A MESSAGE TO...
( gurgles )
GET UP FROM THERE.
GET DRESSED.
IT'S TIME TO SHOW OUR HAND.
( laughing )
TO THE BROTHERS GIBB!
THE BROTHERS GIBB!
( laughing )
¶ THERE IS MAGIC ALL AROUND
¶ THERE IS SOMETHING GOING DOWN ¶
¶ AND I CAN FEEL IT
¶ ON THE WAVES OF THE AIR
¶ THERE IS DANCING OUT THERE
¶ IF IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN SHARE ¶
¶ WE CAN STEAL IT
¶ SWEET CITY WOMAN
¶ SHE MOVES THROUGH THE NIGHT
¶ CONTROLLING MY MIND...
( snoring )
DAD.
WAKE UP. THE HUNTSMAN'S ASLEEP.
NO ONE CAN SEE US, WE CAN ESCAPE.
WE'VE GOT HANDCUFFS ON AND OUR FEET ARE TIED.
JUST JUMP OFF THE BACK.
NO ONE'S GOING TO SEE US. COME ON.
LOOK AT US. WE CAN'T.
WHAT ABOUT THE PRINCE?
GO. GO. GO, MASTER.
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT.
READY? ONE...
TWO... THREE!
OH! OH!
¶ FOLLOW THE WIND
¶ MAKING IT MINE
MINE! MINE! MINE!
( snoring )
ALL RIGHT, SO...
WAS THERE A STAGE TWO TO YOUR ESCAPE PLAN?
STARTING TODAY, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE CASTLE
UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY ME
AND ME ALONE.
IF ASKED, YOU SHALL SIMPLY SAY
THAT YOUR MASTER THE PRINCE HAS RETURNED AND IS WELL.
IF I HEAR ONE RUMOR, ONE WHISPER
THAT ANYTHING IS AMISS
I WILL KILL YOUR CHILDREN IN FRONT OF YOU.
MESSENGERS WILL BE SENT TODAY
TO EVERY KING, QUEEN, EMPEROR, AND DIGNITARY
THROUGHOUT THE NINE KINGDOMS
INVITING THEM TO PRINCE WENDELL'S CORONATION BALL.
THE EVENING WILL PROCEED AS PLANNED
WITH ONE TINY EXCEPTION--
WE ARE GOING TO MURDER ALL THE GUESTS.
NOW, LISTEN, HERE'S WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF ESCAPING
IF WE'RE JUST GOING TO WALK STRAIGHT INTO THE CASTLE?
Virginia: LOOK.
Tony: WHAT?
IT'S A SHORTCUT. IT'S GREAT.
LOOK. YOU SEE THAT?
WHY DO YOU THINK ONE ROUTE IS 39 MILES
AND THE OTHER IS 13 MILES?
Virginia: WELL, MAYBE THERE'S A SCENIC ROUTE.
HOW SHOULD I KNOW?
I DON'T THINK...
IT'S GOT TO BE LONGER BECAUSE IT'S SAFER.
THIS LOOKS... ONE HAS TREES AND... AND...
BUT THIS IS...
OH... WELL, LOOK AT THAT.
YOU THINK THAT MAYBE
IT'S GOING AROUND SOMETHING?
MAYBE IT'S JUST NOT SUITABLE FOR CARTS.
( "A Whiter Shade of Pale" playing in distance )
AAH! OH, WHAT...?
IT SQUISHED AGAIN.
UM, IS IT JUST ME, OR CAN YOU HEAR
"A WHITER SHADE OF PALE"?
IT'S JUST YOU.
NO, THAT'S PROCOL HARUM.
THAT ORGAN IS UNMISTAKABLE.
LISTEN. LISTEN, LISTEN.
¶ WE SKIPPED THE LIGHT FANDANGO ¶
NO, THAT'S AN ANIMAL HOWLING.
I DON'T THINK SO.
WHAT ANIMAL CAN SKIP THE LIGHT FANDANGO, AND...?
¶ TURN CARTWHEELS 'CROSS THE FLOOR ¶
BOY, YOU DON'T GET LYRICS LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
¶ I WAS FEELING KIND OF SEASICK... ¶
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO TURN AND GO BACK.
NO, COME ON, WAIT.
NOW THAT WE'VE COME THIS FAR, LET'S JUST CONTINUE ON
TILL AT LEAST THE END OF SIDE ONE.
IT'S GREAT STUFF.
¶ THE ROOM WAS HUMMING HARDER
¶ AS THE CEILING FLEW AWAY
YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THAT.
WHAT ARE ALL THESE LIGHTS?
¶ WHEN WE CALLED OUT
TOO BIG BE FIREFLIES, AREN'T THEY? ¶ FOR ANOTHER DRINK
OOH. OOH.
( giggling )
WHO ARE YOU?
EVERYONE THINKS THEY CAN HANDLE THE SWAMP.
BUT THEY ALL END UP IN THE HANDS OF THE SWAMP WITCH.
OH, GREAT. THE SWAMP WITCH?
( giggling )
THERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU MUSTN'T DO
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
DON'T DRINK THE WATER.
DON'T EAT THE MAGIC MUSHROOMS.
AND, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T FALL ASLEEP.
OKAY, DAD, WHY DON'T WE JUST KEEP MOVING.
( groaning )
OH, LOOK. THEY'RE ALL CHAINED UP.
THAT CAN'T BE HELPING.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER?
OH, YES.
MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
ALL RIGHT, THEN.
NO.
LET ME.
NO. IT'S MY TURN TO BE NAUGHTY.
Tony: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BE NAUGH...?
OH, WELL, THAT'S BETTER.
YOU SEE, NOW, BECAUSE WE CAN JUST...
DAD?
WE CAN...
VIRGINIA?
DAD?
HEY!
WHEN I SAID WE WANTED TO BE SEPARATED
I DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY.
VIRGINIA?!
STAY WHERE YOU ARE
OR I'LL SHOVE YOU
IN MY POT.
MY GOD, THE SWAMP WITCH.
WHO DARES TO ENTER THE DOMAIN OF THE SWAMP WITCH?
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.
I'M JUST A...
ACORN?
OH, HELLO.
HI.
LONG TIME NO SEE.
YEAH.
YOU, UH, STILL LOOKING FOR YOUR MIRROR?
AH, NO. THAT ONE GOT SMASHED.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ONE NOW.
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MY FATHER
WALKING AROUND ANYWHERE HERE, HAVE YOU?
OH, HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SINGING
"A WHITER SHADE OF PALE."
UH, NO.
COME IN.
I WAS JUST MAKING SOME SOUP.
OH, HMM.
THERE.
UH, THANKS.
I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SWAMP WITCH OUT THERE.
NAH. NAH, SHE'S BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS.
AY, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE
TO LIE LOW WHEN YOU'RE ON THE RUN.
NOBODY BOTHERS YOU.
YES.
WHO WAS THE SWAMP WITCH THEN?
WHO WAS SHE?
I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW THAT.
NO.
WELL, YOU KNOW THE STORY OF SNOW WHITE?
FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH, ACTUALLY.
WHAT?
THE SWAMP WITCH WAS THE WICKED STEPMOTHER WHO TRIED
TO KILL HER.
THIS IS WHERE SHE CRAWLED TO
AFTER THEY MADE HER DANCE IN THE RED-HOT SLIPPERS.
SHE SPENT THE REST OF HER LIFE PLOTTING REVENGE
BUT SHE WAS TOO WEAK TO CARRY IT OUT.
THEN SHE FOUND SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR HER.
WHO WAS THAT?
OH, THE SWAMP WITCH IS BURIED IN THE BASEMENT.
WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN AND ASK HER?
MAYBE WHAT YOU SEEK
IS DOWN THERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
DON'T KNOW REALLY.
I'VE JUST ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY IT.
PERSONALLY
I WOULDN'T GO DOWN IN THAT CELLAR
FOR ALL THE GOLD IN THE NINE KINGDOMS.
( creaking )
( whispering ): MY MOTHER'S BEEN HERE.
I KNOW IT.
( honking )
OH, STOP!
( sobbing )
Woman: ARE YOU LOST, MY CHILD?
ARE YOU LOST?
LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAY.
COME TO ME.
COME WITH ME...
AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PAIN...
FOREVER.
LOOK!
I AM DYING, BUT MY WORK IS UNFINISHED.
THE HOUSE OF SNOW WHITE SURVIVES!
YOU WILL DO MY WORK FOR ME
AND I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY POWER.
POISON IS THE WAY THE QUEEN WILL STRIKE
AND THE WAY SHE MUST BE DEFEATED.
YOU WILL FIND YOUR WEAPON
IN A GRAVE.
( ripping )
DO NOT THINK... BECOME.
YOU ARE NOTHING!
SHE WILL CRUSH YOU!
( gasping )
( exhaling slowly )
( crickets chirping )
HEY!
ANYBODY GOING TO EAT THESE EGGS?
AH.
A FRYING PAN HERE AND EVERYTHING?
( tapping )
STRAIGHT AHEAD 300 YARDS, LEFT AT THE ROTTING ENTRAILS
AND YOU'RE OUT, TEN, 15 MINUTES AT THE MOST.
OKAY.
I REALLY CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT FINDING MY FATHER FIRST, THOUGH.
OH, HE'S PROBABLY ASLEEP ON MUSHROOM ISLAND.
EVERYONE ENDS UP THERE.
OH.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
OKAY. THANKS.
( sinister chuckling )
EVEN IF YOU WANT TO.
Mushroom: WHAT GOOD IS AN OMELET
WITH NOTHING TO PUT IN IT?
POP IN A COUPLE OF MUSHROOMS LIKE US, FOR INSTANCE.
YEAH, RIGHT. FORGET IT, GUYS.
I'M NOT GOING TO EAT YOU.
WE WEREN'T SUGGESTING YOU SHOULD.
WE WERE JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT THE TARRAGON GROWING OVER THERE.
HMM, SMELLS LIKE THE REAL THING.
IT IS THE REAL THING.
IT'S ONE OF THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS
OF A MUSHROOM OMELET.
( chuckles )
I'M NOT GOING TO GET CAUGHT THAT WAY.
MUSHROOM OMELET, NICE GLASS OF CHATEAU SWAMP
A LITTLE SNOOZE...
( snoring )
ALL RIGHT, KNOCK IT OFF.
AT LEAST HAVE A DRINK.
YOU LOOK PARCHED.
I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK ANY SWAMP WATER.
I KNOW IT'S NOT
THE CLEAREST THING IN THE WORLD
BUT IT DOES PACK A PUNCH.
IT'LL TAKE YOU RIGHT UP THE BEANSTALK AND BACK.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
( yawns )
DAD?
OH, HI.
HI. THANK GOD.
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
OH, COME ON UP. YOU WANT AN OMELET?
YOU'RE NOT DRINKING THE SWAMP WATER, ARE YOU?
OF COURSE NOT.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
I CAN HARDLY KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
I KNOW. ME, TOO. TELL YOU WHAT.
COME UP AND HAVE A SEAT.
NICE LITTLE ISLAND.
FIVE MINUTES, THAT'S ALL.
OKAY, BUT WE CANNOT FALL ASLEEP
NO MATTER WHAT.
OH, NO, OF COURSE NOT.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.
MM-HMM.
Virginia: THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
MMM. MMM.
MMM.
THOSE MUSHROOMS WERE FAR OUT.
MMM.
DAD!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT? WHAT?
LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
WHAT?
YOU'VE HAD THREE CUPS.
THREE?
I HAD THREE?
YEAH, THREE CUPS.
( "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" playing )
OKAY, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO...
I NEED TO LIE DOWN FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW
SO IT'S REALLY ESSENTIAL THAT YOU STAY AWAKE, OKAY?
JUST A FEW MINUTES AND I'LL BE FINE.
¶ ...THE TRUTH IS PLAIN TO SEE ¶
¶ BUT I WANDERED THROUGH MY PLAYING CARDS ¶
¶ WOULD NOT LET HER BE
( singing along )
¶ ONE OF 16 VESTAL VIRGINS
¶ WAH, WAH, WAH ¶
¶ WHO WERE HEADING FOR THE COAST ¶
¶ AND THOUGH MY EYES WERE OPEN ¶
¶ THEY MIGHT JUST AS WELL BE CLOSED ¶
¶ AND SO IT WAS LATER AS THE MILLER TOLD HIS TALE ¶
¶ THAT HER FACE AT FIRST JUST GHOSTLY ¶
¶ TURNED A WHITER...
VIRGINIA, WAKE UP.
WAKE UP
VIRGINIA.
MOMMY! MOMMY!
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU WERE HAVING A BAD DREAM, THAT'S ALL.
TELL ME A STORY.
ALL RIGHT.
ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A LOVELY LITTLE GIRL
WHO LIVED ON THE EDGE OF THE FOREST.
HER MOMMY TOLD HER NEVER TO GO INTO THE FOREST
BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID?
NO.
YES, YOU DO.
SHE WENT INTO THE FOREST
AND SHE MET A MONSTER AND THEN SHE DIED
AND EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT HER
AND WE ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
VIRGINIA, WHERE ARE YOU?
I NEED YOU.
( phone rings )
Yeah, King Tony here.
DAD, HI, IT'S ME.
I JUST HAD TO RUN AWAY, BUT I LEFT YOU A COUPLE PIES.
JUST POP THEM IN
THE MICROWAVE, OKAY?
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU CAN'T RUN OUT ON ME.
THAT'S WHAT YOUR MOTHER DID.
Wait, wait.
You're my princess.
I miss you.
PLUS I'VE GOT A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SON HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE HERE TAKING CARE OF HIM.
OH, WELL, I'M GLAD YOU FINALLY HAVE A SON NOW.
AT LEAST THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!
WAKE UP! WAKE UP
OR ALL IS LOST.
( coughing )
OH, COME ON. I NEED AN ELECTRICIAN HERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HEY!
THE LIGHTS!
I NEED TO PUT THE...
HEY, I'M NOT GOING... HEY, COME ON! I'M NOT GOING
TO SIT HERE IN THE DARK.
TURN THESE LIGHTS ON. HEY!
( Virginia coughing )
OH!
TONY!
TONY, WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
OH, THE LIGHTS!
ALL THE LIGHTS ARE ON!
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE EATEN THE APPLE!
I ALMOST DIED BACK THERE.
WHAT THE HELL?
OH, HOW DID YOU FIND US?
OH, VIRGINIA, I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU
FOR A LONG TIME.
OH, MY GOD!
WHERE DID YOU GO AFTER YOU LEFT KISSING TOWN?
KISSING TOWN?
I WENT OFF FOR A WHILE TO THINK ABOUT THINGS.
PICKED UP YOUR TRAIL A FEW DAYS AGO.
BUT HOW?
WE WENT THROUGH A MOUNTAIN.
VIRGINIA, I COULD FOLLOW YOUR SCENT
ACROSS TIME ITSELF.
YOU SEEM DIFFERENT.
WE'RE BOTH DIFFERENT.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO CHASE YOU AWAY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, EVERYTHING WAS...
HAPPENING SO QUICKLY, YOU KNOW AND...
I REALLY DO LIKE YOU.
I LIKE YOU A LOT.
AND I NEVER... I NEVER WANT TO HURT YOU.
I THINK I LOVE YOU.
Queen: SO LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR YOU.
SO MANY DULL PRISON DAYS.
IN THE SUMMER I COULD SEE THE SUNLIGHT ON MY CELL WALL.
I LONGED FOR THE SUMMER TO SEE THE SUN.
YET EVERY TIME IT CAME
I KNEW I HAD LOST ANOTHER YEAR OF MY LIFE TO YOU.
WHEN ALL OF THIS IS OVER
I WILL PUT YOU IN A LITTLE BOX
UNTIL YOU CURL UP AND DIE OF DESPAIR.
WHERE WAS HE CAUGHT?
15 MILES FROM HERE.
SONYA, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?
WE KILLED THEM.
LIAR!
IDIOT!
WE ARE EXTREMELY STUPID, YOUR MAJESTY.
BUT WE HAVE THE DOG.
YOU FOOLS.
THE DOG IS NOT THE THREAT TO ME.
THE GIRL...
THE GIRL IS THE THREAT.
COME ON.
COME ON, COME ON.
JOURNEY'S END-- WENDELL'S CASTLE.
WHERE THE MIRROR IS.
Virginia: AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET HOME.
YEAH.
LET'S TAKE A LITTLE REST BEFORE WE GO ON, HUH?
I'LL GET SOME WATER.
ONE OF YOU GUYS WANT TO GET SOME WOOD?
I'LL GO.
YEAH, I'LL GO WITH YOU.
VIRGINIA? UH...
THERE'S SOMETHING I'D REALLY LIKE YOU TO DO FOR ME
I MEAN, WITH ME
AND I THINK I DESERVE IT
GIVEN MY MULTIPLE SAVINGS OF YOUR LIFE.
I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
AND THE ANSWER'S YES.
( gasps )
OH. OH, CRIPES.
I WANT YOU SO MUCH.
I KNOW, I WANT YOU, TOO.
OH, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
YOU RUN INTO THE WOODS AND I'LL COVER MY EYES.
SORRY?
INTO THE TREES AND I'LL COVER MY EYES
AND I'LL COUNT TO 100.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
OH, YES.
I WON'T CHEAT.
I PROMISE, I WON'T CHEAT.
THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I...
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, MAYBE I'LL COUNT
A LITTLE QUICKER AFTER 50
BUT I PROMISE YOU'LL GET A PROPER COUNT FROM ME.
I AM NOT PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
WITH YOU.
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
ONE, TWO, THREE...
NO!
FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE...
YOU BETTER RUN.
( shrieks )
TEN, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
16, 17, 18, 19, 72, 73, 74
98, 99... 100!
HA...
COMING!
( shrieks )
( animal-like growling )
IT'S ABOUT TIME.
WHERE'S THE WOOD?
FOR THE FIRE.
OH, COULDN'T FIND ANY.
COULDN'T FIND ANY WOOD.
IN A FOREST?
HELLO, TONY.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WOOD EITHER.
YES, THANK YOU.
WE'RE SO LUCKY.
A CORONATION ONLY COMES ALONG
ONCE EVERY 2,785 MOUSE GENERATIONS.
BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A CORONATION.
I SAW PRINCE WENDELL LYING UNDER HIS BED.
HE LOOKED BARKING MAD.
OH, NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
HE'S PROBABLY JUST ANXIOUS ABOUT SERVING THE RIGHT CHEESE.
THEY SAY THAT CINDERELLA'S GOING TO BE HERE.
NO! SHE MUST BE 200 YEARS OLD.
I HEARD SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SHOW HER FACE
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO SPOIL THE MEMORY OF HER BEAUTY.
UH-OH. I THOUGHT AS MUCH.
LOOK. MOUSETRAPS.
MAKE YOURSELF SCARCE.
LOOK, THAT'S OLD KING COLE.
( King laughing )
PRESENTS!
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO THE CASTLE
FOR WENDELL'S CORONATION.
COME ON.
WAIT, WAIT.
WHOA. LET'S JUST WALK IN THERE.
IF I'M RIGHT
THIS IS NO LONGER PRINCE WENDELL'S CASTLE.
IT'S CONTROLLED BY THE QUEEN
AND THE GUARDS MAY NOW BE HER EYES.
WE CAN TRUST NO ONE.
WOLF...
I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
THE QUEEN...
YEAH?
IS... MY MOTHER.
I KNEW THAT
FROM THE FIRST MOMENT I SMELLED YOU.
ALL RIGHT, SO?
WHAT NOW?
WE'LL WAIT HERE UNTIL DARK
BEFORE WE TRY AND ENTER THE CASTLE.
WHAT DO WE DO ALL DAY?
SLEEP.
WE'RE EXHAUSTED.
ARE WE NOT?
DEFINITELY.
DID I MISS SOMETHING?
Man: WELCOME TO PRINCE WENDELL'S CASTLE, YOUR MAJESTIES.
YES?
THE GUARDS HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO
IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP?
THEY'LL SHOW UP.
THEY'LL COME IN AMONGST THE OTHERS
WHEN THEY THINK THEY ARE SAFE.
SIGNAL TO START THE CORONATION BALL.
YES, MY LADY.
LOOK. LOOK.
THAT LOOKS PROMISING.
PROMISING? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE'LL SWIM UNDER THE GRILLE.
WE'RE BOUND TO SURFACE SOMEWHERE IN THE CASTLE.
SOMEWHERE?
OH, GOOD. FOR A SECOND THERE
I DIDN'T THINK YOU HAD A PLAN.
FOLLOW ME.
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO
AND DIVE UNDER THE WATER
HOPING I SURFACE SOMEWHERE IN THE CASTLE.
WOLF'S NOT COMING OUT.
HE MUST HAVE FOUND THE WAY IN.
WHY DOES THAT FOLLOW?
HE COULD HAVE JUST RUN OUT OF AIR
AND HE COULD BE DROWNED.
VIRGINIA, DON'T. NO.
VIRGINIA. VIRGINIA!
VIRGINIA, WAIT!
COME ON.
YOU CAN MAKE IT.
COME ON.
OH, MY GOD, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DROWN.
OH.
OH, GET UP.
( coughing )
YOU ALL RIGHT?
Virginia: WHERE'S DAD?
Wolf: I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON, DAD.
THAT PASSAGE WAS VERY THIN AT THE TOP.
Virginia: JUST COME ON THROUGH.
COME ON, COME ON, TONY.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO... NO, NO, NO, NO!
COME ON, TONY.
OH, THERE HE IS!
THERE'S HE IS! DAD?
AAH! NO!
( coughing )
ARE YOU OKAY?
( grunting )
THERE YOU GO.
Virginia: ALL RIGHT.
I ALMOST DROWNED IN THERE.
OH, DON'T EXAGGERATE.
IT'S THIS WAY.
OKAY, I NEED A TOWEL.
TOWELS? WE NEED WEAPONS.
SHH! SHH!
DOORS. COME ON.
( frog croaking loudly )
( gasps )
( speaking in French accent ): ONE DOOR LEADS TO SAFETY
ONE DOOR LEADS TO A HORRIBLE DEATH.
OH! I LEARNED THIS IN SCHOOL
BUT I CAN NEVER REMEMBER IT.
RIBBET. YOU MAY ASK ONE QUESTION.
OKAY.
RIBBET. BUT I ALWAYS LIE.
OKAY, OKAY!
IF WE ASK HIM WHICH DOOR IS THE SAFE DOOR...
HE'LL LIE, AND SAY IT'S THE OTHER ONE.
IS THAT IT? OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?
I DON'T KNOW.
TIME'S UP, MAN.
WAIT! I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING A DOOR
THAT HAS A HORRIBLE DEATH BEHIND IT, HUH?!
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
WHAT DOES THAT ACHIEVE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
I MEAN, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE?!
JUST TO BE A PAIN?! DON'T TOUCH ME THERE.
ONLY MY GIRLFRIEND TOUCHES ME THERE...
WHOA!
( exploding )
I GUESS IT'S THE OTHER ONE.
Woman: WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HOURS.
( music playing )
WHERE IS THE PRINCE?
THE COUNTRY'S NOT BEEN THE SAME
SINCE THE TROLL INVASION.
RUDE, IF YOU ASK ME--
BEING LATE FOR HIS OWN CORONATION.
YES. MY RIDING BOOTS ARE KILLING ME.
THERE'S OLD KING COLE.
I MUST INTRODUCE YOU TO MY TAILOR.
YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESSES
LORDS AND LADIES
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
MAY I PRESENT TO YOU A VISION OF LOVELINESS--
THE DANCING QUEEN, THE SLIPPER SUPREME
IT'S MIDNIGHT MADNESS!
IT'S QUEEN CINDERELLA!
( trumpets play )
( guests applauding )
OOH, LOOK AT THAT!
SHE CAN'T BE 200.
HUH, SHE'S JUST HAD A LOT OF MAGIC SURGERY.
( hacking and wheezing )
( Cinderella gasping )
( moaning )
WHERE'S WENDELL?
SHH, SHH, SHH.
THESE ARE THE ROYAL CHAMBERS.
THE QUEEN WILL SLEEP AS NEAR HER DOG IMPOSTOR AS POSSIBLE.
NOW, MY DEDUCTION IS THAT SHE WILL HAVE OUR PRINCE
IN THE VERY NEXT ROOM.
THERE.
( loud clattering )
MAYBE I'M WRONG.
CLOSE THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR.
THIS MUST BE A GUEST ROOM.
NO... THIS IS HER ROOM.
WHAT ARE THOSE?
YEAH, WHAT ARE THOSE?
OH!
MIRRORS. MIRRORS.
AH!
OH, I GOT IT!
THAT'S IT.
THE TRAVELING MIRROR.
WHAT'S...? AH.
MANHATTAN, WE'VE FOUND IT.
WE COULD GO HOME!
VIRGINIA, WHAT? NO, PLEASE, COME ON.
LET'S JUST GO WHILE WE CAN.
LET'S GO.
I CAN'T GO YET.
WHAT? YES. NO, YOU CAN.
WOULD YOU PLEASE, WOLF, TELL HER, YOU CAN GO.
LET'S JUST GO. NO, I HAVE TO SEE HER FIRST.
SHE IS NOT YOUR MOTHER.
WHOEVER THIS PERSON IS, SHE'S NOT CHRISTINE.
SHE'S NOT THE WOMAN THAT WE KNEW!
WE HAVE BEEN LED HERE ALL ALONG.
DON'T YOU SEE, IT WAS NEVER THE MIRROR?
IT WAS JUST A WAY TO BRING US HERE TO MEET HER.
PLEASE, LET US GO HOME WHILE WE CAN STILL GO HOME.
NO, I HAVE TO SEE HER.
Queen: YOUR LAST REQUEST
IS GRANTED.
DID I DO WELL... YOUR MAJESTY?
EXCELLENT-WELL.
WHAT?
I THOUGHT IT SAFEST TO STICK WITH THEM.
MAKE SURE THEY DON'T SPOIL YOUR PLANS.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
IT WAS VERY SIMPLE, VIRGINIA.
I OBEY THE QUEEN.
CHRISTINE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE US?
I'VE NEVER SEEN EITHER OF YOU BEFORE.
OF COURSE YOU HAVE.
I'M YOUR DAUGHTER VIRGINIA.
CHRISTINE, DON'T LOOK THROUGH ME...
DON'T LOOK THROUGH ME. IT'S ME, IT'S TONY!
I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
MOM, WE CAME FROM NEW YORK, WHERE YOU USED TO LIVE.
THIS IS JUST MAGIC TO DISTRACT ME.
( growls )
Huntsman: MILADY.
UH... LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THIS GIRL, AND...
TAKE HIM TO THE DUNGEON.
BRING WENDELL TO ME.
WOLF.
( whines )
YOU CAN GO TO THE KITCHEN NOW.
( whines )
I'VE SENSED YOU FOR A LONG TIME THROUGH MY MIRRORS
BUT YOUR IMAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN DENIED ME.
NOW WHY IS THAT, DO YOU SUPPOSE?
YOU DON'T LOOK VERY POWERFUL TO ME.
HAS SOMEONE BEEN HELPING YOU?
SOME LITTLE DEAD HEROINE
PUFFING YOU UP AS AN ADVERSARY?
I AM YOUR DAUGHTER.
I DON'T HAVE A DAUGHTER.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
YOU WERE UNWANTED.
THAT'S PLAIN TO SEE.
HAVEN'T YOU ALWAYS KNOWN THAT?
SECRETLY?
THAT YOU WERE THE UGLY DUCKLING?
THE SAD THING IS
YOUR LITTLE QUEST HAS GIVEN YOU DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.
YOU'VE STARTED TO THINK YOU'RE CAPABLE OF GREAT THINGS, BUT...
YOU WERE RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE...
YOU'RE PLAIN.
PLAIN.
AND UGLY.
COME.
COMPARE YOURSELF TO ME IN MY MIRROR.
MIRRORS CANNOT LIE.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FAIRER THAN ME?
LOOK.
ASK THE MIRROR.
( speaking slowly ): MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL...
( speaking slowly ): WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?
WHO IS THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
( coughing )
NO!
( coughing )
YOU INTRIGUE ME.
WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?
TO FIND YOU.
TO TALK TO YOU.
TO MAKE YOU REALIZE...
TO KILL ME.
NO!
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
BUT I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FIRST
NOW, THIS INSTANT...
YOU STAY BACK OR, I'LL...
OR WHAT?
LOOKING FOR THIS?
I KNOW EVERYTHING.
ALL YOUR PATHETIC PLANS, EVERYTHING.
YOU THINK SNOW WHITE WILL HELP YOU?
SHE'S DEAD.
DEAD!
THAT'S WHY SHE SENT A LITTLE GIRL AFTER ME
WITH OLD MAGIC.
IS IT POISON?
NO.
OH, YOU LITTLE LIAR.
IF THIS WERE TO PIERCE MY SKIN...
IT WOULD KILL ME INSTANTLY.
IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL, THOUGH.
IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE, DID YOU EVER ONCE LOVE ME?
( woman crying )
( crying continues )
( tires screeching ) NO!
( horns honking ) NO!
( sobbing )
OH, THAT'S NOT ME!
OH!
( gasping )
Huntsman: MILADY
WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE KITCHENS.
TAKE THIS GIRL AWAY AND LOCK HER UP.
I WILL FINISH WITH HER AFTERWARDS.
AFTER WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO EVERYBODY?!
NO MORE THAN YOU WOULD DO TO ME.
OH, VIRGINIA.
OH, DAD.
ARE YOU OKAY?
( sobbing )
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
SHE'S CRAZY.
SHE'S JUST... SHE'S SICK AND SHE'S...
BEFORE SHE LEFT US SHE WAS JUST...
SHE WAS GETTING WORSE
AND WORSE AND WORSE.
I'VE NEVER...
I NEVER TOLD ANYBODY WHAT HAPPENED
THE NIGHT SHE LEFT.
AND YOU, YOU DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER
SO I COULDN'T TELL YOU.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE WAS TRYING TO DROWN YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
IF I'D HAVE COME HOME A MINUTE LATER
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD.
DON'T PANT, DON'T BARK, AND STOP MUTTERING.
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER MY SPEECH.
YOU DO THIS PROPERLY TONIGHT
AND YOU CAN HAVE ANY BITCH IN TOWN.
YOU!
KEEP THEM APART.
DON'T LET THEM TOUCH.
BUT THAT'S ME.
THE GUESTS ARE GETTING SUSPICIOUS, MILADY.
TAKE THE DOG TO MY HIDING PLACE.
I'LL MEET YOU THERE SHORTLY.
I HAVE ONE LAST THING TO DO.
THIS KINGDOM CAN BE OURS.
THEY WILL TEST YOU.
BUT BEWARE CINDERELLA.
SHE IS YOUR GREATEST THREAT.
DON'T MOVE.
( chuckling )
ALL PRESENT AND CORRECT.
AS YOU COMMANDED, MAJESTY--
THE MOST POWERFUL POISON EVER CREATED.
SMELLS DIVINE.
( high-pitched voice ): P-P-POISON?
DID HE SAY POISON?
IT'S NOT PUMPKIN SOUP, THEN.
HAVE YOU TASTED IT YET?
'COURSE NOT, MAJESTY.
THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL POISON
EVER MADE?
YEAH, HOW DO YOU KNOW?
WELL?
TRY IT!
( gasping )
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT PUMPKIN SOUP, THEN.
LOOK AT HIM-- DEAD AS A DORMOUSE.
MOUSETRAPS, DEADLY POISON, PROCESSED CHEESE...
IT'S NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS.
MY CRAFTY LITTLE WOLF
YOU HAD ME WORRIED FOR A WHILE.
OH, WHEN YOU FREED ME FROM PRISON
I AGREED TO SERVE YOU.
A WOLF ALWAYS KEEPS HIS BARGAIN.
AFTER TONIGHT
WHEN I RULE THE NINE KINGDOMS
WOLVES WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT.
I WILL MAKE THEM MY SECRET POLICE
AND YOU WILL BE THE CHIEF.
HUFF, PUFF! CHIEF WOLF!
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HOURS.
PRAY, SILENCE
FOR THE FUTURE KING OF THE FOURTH KINGDOM.
( trumpets heralding )
I PRESENT TO YOU THE MAN OF THE HOUR
THE HERO OF THE DAY.
HE'S ROYAL PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR.
HE'S SIMPLY THE BEST.
PRINCE WENDELL
WINSTON WALTER WHITE!
( cheering )
¶ TA-DA!
WENDY!
THERE WERE SOME RUMORS THAT...
TROUBLE HAD BEFALLEN YOU.
IS THAT TRUE?
UH, NO, I JUST WENT FOR LONG WALKIES
AROUND MY KINGDOM
AS ONE DOES.
HUFF, PUFF! CHIEF WOLF!
WOLVES ARE RUNNING THE TOWN THIS TIME.
THE FARMERS DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BITE THEM.
EXCUSE ME.
THE SHEPHERDESS...
IS QUITE A MESS...
CINDERELLA...
HEY, LOOK AT THIS.
I SAW THIS EARLIER;
BLEW ME AWAY.
GRIMM?
AS IN "GRIMM" GRIMM?
GOT TO BE, RIGHT?
THOSE STORIES, THEY WEREN'T MADE UP.
THEY'RE TRUE. HE WAS HERE 200 YEARS AGO.
WOW...
GRIMM FAIRY STORIES, REMEMBER THOSE?
I READ THOSE TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE A KID.
YEAH.
YOU SAT ON MY KNEE.
THE ONE WITH THE DONKEY WHO ATE THISTLES?
THAT WAS HOUSE AT POOH CORNER.
YEAH.
WHAT DOES THIS SAY? WHAT'S THAT?
I DON'T KNOW. I TRIED READING IT.
IT'S IN GERMAN. I DON'T SPEAK GERMAN.
I CAN SPEAK GERMAN.
SO CAN I.
CHEESE IS KASE.
OUR GREAT-GREAT- GREAT-GREAT-GREAT
GREAT-GREAT-GREAT- GREAT-GRANDFATHER
LEARNED IT FROM WILHEM GRIMM HIMSELF.
WELL, HOW SWEET...
GERMAN-SPEAKING MICE.
OKAY, OKAY
SO, WHAT DOES THIS SAY HERE?
THIS... WENN SIE FLIEHEN WOLLEN
MUSSEN SIE DIE HEBEL DREHEN.
MUST YOU THE HANDLE TURN...
NO, THE LEVER TURN
HANDLE IS KLINKE.
MUST YOU THE LEVER TURN, IF YOU WISH TO ESCAPE.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, ESCAPE?
LEVER... LEVER!
LEVER! LEVER!
THERE ARE NO LEVERS!
THE RINGS! THE RINGS! TURN THE RINGS!
OH, WAIT, OVER THERE!
CHECK THE ONES OVER THERE.
OH, LOOK!
HURRY UP. COME ON.
WE MIGHT STILL HAVE TIME.
IF ANYONE CAN SAVE THE NINE KINGDOMS, IT'S YOU.
GOOD LUCK, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT.
THANKS.
UNTIL THE PRINCE'S 21st BIRTHDAY
THE THRONE HAS LAIN IN TRUST FOR HIM.
BUT BEFORE HE CAN BECOME KING, HE MUST FIRST SHOW US
THAT HE HAS LEARNED THE THREE VALUES
OF COURAGE, WISDOM AND HUMILITY.
LET THE FIRST CHALLENGER STEP FORWARD.
WENDELL!
I AM LEAF-FALL, QUEEN OF THE ELVES.
IT IS A VERY GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
YOU TAKE UPON YOUR YOUNG SHOULDERS TODAY
AND I WONDER IF YOU ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO JOIN US.
( staff thumping )
HIS BRAVERY IS QUESTIONED.
TELL US.
TELL US THE TALE.
TELL US!
THE TROLL KING THREATENED THIS KINGDOM.
I CHALLENGED HIM TO A FIGHT-- MAN TO MUTT
AND HE WAS HUGE AND HORRIBLE
AND HE DREW HIS SWORD AND BOTH OF US FOUGHT
AND THEN I DROPPED TO ALL FOURS
AND I WAS SNARLING
AND THEN HE LUNGED AT ME
AND THEN I CLAWED AT HIM...
AND THEN, AND THEN...
I SUNK MY TEETH IN HIM
AND I RIPPED HIS THROAT OUT.
BRAVO!
MAGNIFICENT!
SUCH ANIMAL COURAGE!
BRAVO!
HE HAS PASSED THE FIRST TEST.
WENDELL IS KING OF COURAGE!
TAKE A WEAPON.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TAKE A WEAPON?
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FIGHTING!
TAKE A WEAPON
DAD!
( fanfare playing )
IT IS TIME FOR THE SECOND CHALLENGE.
QUEEN RIDING HOOD THE THIRD
RULER OF THE SECOND KINGDOM.
WHAT WISDOM HAVE YOU LEARNED
ON YOUR RECENT JOURNEY THROUGH YOUR KINGDOM?
( courtiers murmuring )
UH...
OH, THAT'S A TRICKY ONE.
UM...
I HAVE WALKED EVERY ROAD.
I HAVE SNIFFED EVERY HEDGEROW.
I HAVE ROAMED THE LAND...
AND FOUND...
BONES.
BONES?!
YES, I FOUND THIS HUGE PILE
OF A HUNDRED FRESH, JUICY BONES.
SO I TOOK ONE...
AND I BURIED THE OTHER 99.
( courtiers murmuring )
SOUND THINKING.
CUNNING.
BUILD UP OUR MILITARY RESERVES
FOR TIMES OF WAR!
WISE, INDEED.
Griswold: HE HAS PASSED
THE SECOND CHALLENGE.
WISE WENDELL.
( cheering )
Courtiers: WISE WENDELL! WISE WENDELL!
WHICH WAY?
HERE.
NO, I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S THIS WAY.
WH... WHY DID YOU ASK ME IN THE FIRST PLACE
IF YOU'RE GOING TO IGNORE ME?
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT...
MIDNIGHT APPROACHES.
IN THE TIME-HONORED TRADITION
WILL THE LADIES PLEASE PREPARE
FOR THE CINDERELLA WALTZ?
WHAT?!
DO YOU THINK I'M TOO OLD?
GET...
( waltz playing )
ROYAL TOAST.
ROYAL T... BLUEBEARD!
ROYAL TOAST.
YOU'RE ACTING VERY STRANGELY.
SOMETHING WRONG?
( Cinderella's bones creaking )
DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE HOME BY MIDNIGHT?
( groaning )
IN MY NECK...
PLEASE HELP ME!
I'M 200 YEARS OLD!
HELP! GIVE ME YOUR HAND!
SORRY! SORRY!
( neck creaking )
WHAT IS THIS?
ROYAL TOAST.
FEEL FREE; PLEASE TAKE ONE.
ROYAL TOAST. ROYAL TOAST.
HERE, THIS MUST BE THE WAY TO THE BALLROOM.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT'S NOT LOCKED.
THERE'S SOMETHING LEANING AGAINST IT.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME-- PUSH.
( grunting )
( roaring )
SUCK AN ELF!
SKIN 'EM.
SKIN 'EM ALIVE!
( growling )
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HOLD.
GO, GO, GO, GO!
NO, IT'S LOCKED.
HERE, HERE, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK--
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE TOO LONG.
YOU KEEP GOING AND I'LL FIGHT THEM OFF.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET KILLED!
DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT ME.
YOU HAVE TO SAVE EVERYBODY! JUST GO!
IF YOU GET THROUGH, KEEP GOING, DON'T WAIT FOR ME.
I'LL KEEP THEM OFF!
( fanfare plays )
IF NONE QUESTIONS HIS APPOINTMENT
THEN I DO SOLEMNLY...
WAIT!
I QUESTION IT.
( barks )
UH... DO YOU?
ARE YOU REALLY PRINCE WENDELL WHITE
GRANDSON OF SNOW WHITE
THE MAN
WHO WOULD BE KING?
I...
I... AM...
Burly: VICTORY TO THE TROLL NATION!
HEY!
NO.
( courtiers gasping )
NO, I AM AN IMPOSTOR!
( all gasping )
I... I AM... I'M NOT A PRINCE.
I... I AM...
I...
AM...
ORDINARY.
( grunting and growling )
( angry roar )
SUCK AN ELF!
I WILL NEVER BE GREAT LIKE SNOW WHITE.
SOME ARE BORN TO BE GREAT BUT...
I AM A PACK ANIMAL.
I AM NOT A LEADER.
I AM A RETRIEVER.
I DO NOT WANT THE JOB.
I WILL NOT TAKE THE JOB.
I AM NOT WORTHY.
PAINFUL!
HE PASSED THE THIRD TEST.
HE HAS SHOWN HUMILITY.
BRAVO.
HE HAS PASSED THE THREE TESTS!
NOW LET HIM BE CROWNED!
( applause and cheers )
OW.
VIRGINIA!
( courtiers chanting ): KING WENDELL! KING WENDELL!
HAPPY EVER AFTER! HAPPY EVER AFTER!
KING WENDELL! KING WENDELL!
HAPPY EVER AFTER! HAPPY EVER AFTER!
Griswold: ARISE!
YOU ONLY GET TO WATCH.
( courtiers sighing )
TIME FOR THE ROYAL TOAST, YOUR MAJESTY.
Griswold: THE ROYAL TOAST!
( whimpering )
TO EVERLASTING PEACE...
AND ALL THE BONES WE CAN GNAW!
Courtiers: TO EVERLASTING PEACE
AND ALL THE BONES WE CAN GNAW!
AH, I THINK I DID REALLY WELL.
( gagging and coughing )
Riding Hood III: POISON!
ANYONE FOR SECONDS?
NO?
( dog barking )
YOU CERTAINLY ARE PERSISTENT.
ARE YOU GOING TO KILL ME AS WELL?
I WAS GOING TO LET YOU GO.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
YOU KNOW WHY.
GO. LEAVE ME.
GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.
NO.
YOU WERE NOTHING BUT AN ACCIDENT.
YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN KILLED AT BIRTH!
HOW DARE YOU!
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!
KILL HER NOW!
KILL HER
OR I'LL DO IT MYSELF.
NO!
STOP IT... MOM...
CRIPES.
YOU'VE DRAWN...
BLOOD.
I'M SORRY.
( gasping )
NO... NO...
NO, PLEASE DON'T DIE.
JUST REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
IT'S TOO LATE.
DON'T CRY.
MY LITTLE GIRL.
I GAVE AWAY MY SOUL.
WAIT! WAIT!
WAIT!
MOMMY!
Tony: OH, MY GOD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
( groaning )
OH, I THINK I'VE DRUNK TOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
OOH... OH...
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY AREN'T YOU ALL DEAD?
I THOUGHT YOU POISONED EVERYBODY.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
TROLL DUST.
I SWAPPED THE POISON FOR A PINCH OF TROLL DUST
JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK CONVINCING.
OH.
I'M SORRY I HAD TO TRICK YOU.
GO FOR IT, WENDY!
GO!
( gasping )
THAT OUGHT TO DO THE TRICK.
( gasping )
( barking )
I'M BACK.
I'M BACK!
( barking )
I'M BACK!
( applause and cheering )
( sighs )
HI.
( groans )
HI.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO WAKE UP.
YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR ALMOST TWO DAYS.
( sighing )
I DON'T THINK I REALIZED HOW TIRED I WAS.
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
( sighing )
DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.
BECAUSE THAT...
MY DESTINY.
OH, VIRGINIA.
LET IT GO.
( sighing )
NO.
Lord Rupert: LORDS AND LADIES
GIRLS AND BOYS
LET'S HEAR IT FOR KING WENDELL.
( cheers and applause )
AND NOW FOR THE GREATEST BRAVERY IMAGINABLE.
FOR COURAGE IN THE FACE
OF RELENTLESS AND TERRIBLE DANGER
I AWARD MY DEAR FRIENDS
THE HIGHEST MEDALS IN MY KINGDOM.
( applause )
FIRSTLY, MY TEMPORARY MANSERVANT, ANTONY.
MY PEOPLE, LOOK UPON MY FRIEND.
NO LONGER IS HE SPINELESS
AND WALLOWING IN SELF-PITY...
THANKS.
NO LONGER IS HE A BALDING, USELESS COWARD
WHO'D RATHER RUN THAN FIGHT.
I THINK THEY GOT THE MESSAGE.
NO LONGER IS HE SELFISHLY DRIVEN
BY ENVY AND GREED.
WENDELL, THE MEDAL.
NO.
HE IS HEROICALLY TRANSFORMED.
WHAT BRAVER MAN COULD EXIST THAN ANTONY THE VALIANT?
( fanfare plays )
( whispers )
( applause )
FOR THIS LONG-SUFFERING DOG
MY CRAFTSMEN HAVE MADE A SPECIAL COLLAR MEDAL.
THIS CONFUSED CANINE
WILL LIVE IN A GOLDEN KENNEL
NEXT TO HIS VERY OWN MOUNTAIN OF BONES.
( laughter )
( fanfare )
PERHAPS IT'S BETTER IF I DON'T TOUCH HIM.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
( all laughing )
AS FOR THIS WOLF...
YES.
FOR HIM I HAVE NO MEDAL.
HUFF, PUFF, THAT'S TYPICAL.
INSTEAD
I HAVE HERE A ROYAL PARDON FOR ALL WOLVES EVERYWHERE
THROUGHOUT MY KINGDOM.
FROM NOW ON WOLVES WILL BE KNOWN AS HEROES
FOR IT WAS A NOBLE WOLF
WHO SAVED THE NINE KINGDOMS.
( fanfare plays )
THAT'S WOLVES FOR YOU.
GOOD GUYS.
AS FOR VIRGINIA...
HOW CAN I EVER REWARD YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
AND WHAT YOU HAVE LOST?
THIS FLOWER WAS GIVEN TO ME
BY SNOW WHITE WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD
ON THE DAY SHE LEFT OUR CASTLE FOREVER.
SHE SAID THAT ONE DAY I WOULD MEET HER AGAIN
THOUGH SHE WOULD NEVER RETURN.
I UNDERSTAND HER WORDS NOW.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, YOU HAD A FUR COAT
AND I REMEMBER YOU USED TO COME INTO MY ROOM AND...
AND I COULD STILL SMELL YOUR PERFUME.
AND YOU USED TO RUB THE FUR UP AND DOWN MY CHEEK
AND I KNEW...
I KNEW THAT YOU REALLY, REALLY LOVED ME.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE YOUR LITTLE GIRL.
Wendell: ANTONY, I WISH TO OFFER YOU A JOB.
Tony: HMM, HMM...
NO, THANKS.
AH, NO, BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT IT IS.
I WANT YOU TO BUILD ME A NEW CASTLE.
A CAS...?
UM, I'M NO ARCHITECT.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
A BOUNCY CASTLE.
I WILL GIVE YOU TITLES, LAND
AND HUNDREDS OF SERVANTS, WHATEVER YOU NEED.
THAT'S VERY...
UM, YOUR MAJESTY, I CAN'T.
I MEAN, WELL, I CAN'T EVEN MAKE PLASTIC OVER HERE.
BASICALLY, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME TO DO
IS GIVE YOU AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.
IN YOUR NEW POSITION YOU'LL BE SURROUNDED
BY YOUNG BEAUTIES IN AWE OF YOUR REPUTATION
AS A NATIONAL HERO.
( Wolf gasps )
MISS!
MISS, OVER HERE! OVER HERE.
SUCCULENT.
YES.
( napkin snaps )
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT?
UH...
HEY, BETTER EAT SOMETHING.
YEAH, YOU GOT TO EAT SOMETHING.
UH... OKAY, I'LL HAVE, UM, I'LL HAVE SOME FISH.
FISH, FISH, FISH, YES, FISH.
WAITER! WAITER! WAITER!
BRING FRESH FISH IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE.
FRESH FISH.
THANK YOU.
MMM.
( mouthing )
Virginia: I'M FINE.
REALLY.
SHE'S FINE, REALLY.
( chuckles )
¶ HOW I LONG TO LINGER
¶ ON YOUR SWEETHEART'S FINGER.
THAT'S MY ENGAGEMENT RING!
OH! A SINGING RING NEVER FAILS
TO GET HIS GIRL.
IT'S DESTINY.
PUT IT ON! PUT IT ON!
ALL RIGHT, I'LL JUST TRY IT ON
BUT I'M NOT GETTING MARRIED.
OF COURSE YOU ARE.
OUR BABY'S GOT TO HAVE A FATHER.
I DON'T INTEND TO HAVE ANY CHILDREN
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT LATE FOR THAT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU GOT A LITTLE WOLF CUB GROWING INSIDE OF YOU.
( laughs )
A LITTLE FURRY CHAP JUST LIKE ME
ONLY MUCH SMALLER.
BELIEVE ME, I'M A WOLF.
I KNOW THESE THINGS.
REALLY?
I JUST KNOW.
¶ THERE'S NO DOUBT AND THERE'S NO MAYBE ¶
¶ THE THREE OF US ARE HAVING A BABY ¶
¶ YIPPEE!
THE CRYPT.
THAT'S WHERE I WENT.
ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO STAY?
YEAH. SURE, I MEAN
WHAT AM I GOING TO GO BACK TO NEW YORK FOR?
TO BE A JANITOR?
REMEMBER, I'M STILL WANTED
FOR ARMED ROBBERY, TOO.
I'LL STAY A FEW WEEKS
THEN I'LL COME BACK.
( chuckles )
I'LL SEE YOU SOON, OKAY?
I REALLY LOVE YOU, DADDY.
"DADDY." YOU HAVEN'T CALLED ME "DADDY"
SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL.
( gasps )
READY?
YEAH.
SEE YOU SOON, GRANDPA.
"GRANDPA"?
Virginia: I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT WOLF AND I LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
BUT OUR LIVES WERE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY INTERRUPTED
BY ANOTHER CRISIS IN THE KINGDOMS.
THAT'S NOT THIS STORY.
THIS STORY IS DONE.
AND WHEN YOU LIVE EVERY DAY WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART
THEN YOU CAN BE HAPPY EVER AFTER
EVEN IF IT'S ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME.
MY NAME IS VIRGINIA, AND I LIVE ON THE EDGE OF THE FOREST
AND THIS IS THE END OF THE FIRST BOOK
OF THE TENTH KINGDOM.
