"Archibald's Next Big Thing"?
[gasps] Got to go!
[narrator] It was a beautiful day at the carnival.
Archibald was trying to decide where to begin.
-The Ferris wheel? -Too spinny.
Cotton candy?
Too sticky.
-Or how about...? -[gasps]
A Spiky Seed Toss game?
Now you're talking!
Hey! Step right up and take your best shot.
Hit the bull's-eye and win one of these!
[Archibald] Whoa! A banana phone!
-Wicked, right? -Sure is!
Ow! That is spiky.
Oh!
-[grunts] -[buzzer]
-Lima beans! -Winning at this game's impossible.
You'd have a better chance of seeing a flying pig.
Yeah! Or like discovering a giant block of ice washed up on the beach.
[gasps]
A giant block of ice washed up on the beach!
There's something in there.
-Bzz-bzz! -Yes way! And it's big.
Really big!
Also, my face is stuck to the ice.
[grunting]
Ah!
Thanks, Bea!
[dinosaur roars]
Wendi Powers reporting live from the beach,
where a mysterious block of ice has washed ashore.
Workers are melting the ice with heat lamps for a better look at what's inside.
What do you think is in there? A UFO?
Pirate treasure?
A smaller block of ice? Actually, that would be disappointing.
Excuse me! Coming through! Make a hole, please!
Oh! It's Mayor Fowler and his son, Brock.
-Can you believe-- -That my dad got a sweet new golf cart?
Pretty rad, huh?
It is pretty "rad." [chuckles]
Sure, but I was talking about the giant block of ice.
Yes, of course.
-That is also rad. -[worker] Whoa! Look out!
[onlookers gasp]
-Jiminy Giblets! -[onlooker] What is that?
[grunts]
[roars]
[onlooker] Are you seeing that?
A creature has awoken from within the ice,
and it appears to be a--
Dinosaur!
Hello! What's your name?
My legal name is Apatosaurus, but you can call me Calhoun.
Hey there, Calhoun. I'm Archibald.
-This is Bea. -Bzz-bzz!
Welcome to Crackridge!
[Calhoun] Whoa-ho-ho!
Nice to meet you, Archibald.
Say, I've been sleeping a while
and I could really use a stretch.
-Would you mind? -Oh, sure!
I love a good stretch.
[Calhoun grunts]
-Oh, yeah, that's good. -[Wendi] Remarkable!
The chicken appears to be stretching the dinosaur!
Whoa!
-[screaming] -Watch out!
-[horn blares] -Uh... Oops.
[Brock groans] He's wrecking the cart, Dad!
Oh, no, no, no! Not my baby!
Try shaking it off.
[groans] That dinosaur ruined the golf cart!
Sorry about that.
Sometimes I make mistakes.
We all do, Calhoun.
I average three or four per day.
Dad, do something!
He's too big for this town.
[grunts] Yes. I'm sorry, Calhoun.
Maybe Crackridge isn't a good fit for you.
Oh.
Oh, please, Mayor Fowler, let Calhoun stay?
I promise I'll keep him out of trouble.
I don't know.
Pretty please?
Fine. But I am putting this responsibility on you, Archibald.
Oh, don't you worry, sir.
I will not mess this up.
Come on, Calhoun.
He's totally gonna mess this up.
-[clattering] -[Calhoun] Whoopsie!
[laughs]
Asparagus!
What you doing, Archibald?
Practicing. I really want to win that banana phone.
-A little too much off the top, Calhoun. -Sorry.
Uh... Are you guys gonna stay in the yard all day?
Well, I promised Mayor Fowler I'd keep Calhoun out of trouble.
Why don't you show everyone that Calhoun can be a useful dinosaur?
How do we do that?
Hm. I don't know.
Maybe you two could get jobs.
[gasps] I know the perfect place!
The Von Gobblesberg Museum of Science!
Archibald, I thought you said we was gonna get jobs.
We have jobs.
Just don't move for the next six hours.
And here we have the Apatosaurus and the uh...
Chickenous Crackridgicus.
[visitor] So lifelike.
Archibald, I-I've got to sniffle.
No, no, no! Don't sniffle!
Uh-oh.
-[sniffing] -Uh...
Achoo!
[visitors screaming]
And that was the big bang.
[narrator] Next, Archibald and Calhoun tackled some good,
old-fashioned handiwork.
Not sure dinosaurs have hands, but I remain cautiously optimistic.
[Archibald] Here you go. Nice and easy, buddy.
Bzz.
[Calhoun chuckles]
More soap, please.
-Almost finished. -I think you're good!
-Almost done. -You're good.
[grunts] A little more.
-[screams] -Look out!
You missed a spot! [laughs]
-Whoa! -[clattering]
[narrator] Next, Calhoun tapped into his creative side.
This should be interesting.
Ladies and gents, here to entertain your orthopedic socks off is Calhoun,
the Musical Dinosaur!
-[applause] -[audience gasps]
♪ My name's Calhoun I'll play you a tune ♪
♪ Because I like to sing and dance ♪
[honks]
♪ I washed up here in a block of ice ♪
♪ And I'm not wearing pants ♪
[plays tuba]
You're doing great.
Big finish!
[tuba honks]
[gasps]
-[screams] -[Calhoun] Look out!
-[screaming] -[clattering]
-[gasps] -The anniversary cake is ruined!
And I've lost my husband!
Blueberry's my favorite!
[sighs]
Maybe Crackridge ain't the best place for me.
Don't think like that, Calhoun. It's all gonna work out.
You'll see. [grunts]
Oh, turnips!
You still trying to hit that target, Archibald?
Yep! I'm not giving up.
If Archibald's not giving up,
Calhoun's not giving up, too.
[Archibald] Wahoo!
Yeah! [laughs]
That's awesome! Let's do it again! Let's do it again!
Whoa!
[Calhoun] Gotcha!
[roars]
What? What's going on? Hey!
[roaring continues]
Calhoun? H-Hey! Come back!
[rumbling]
-[roaring] -What is that?
He's too fast! I can't catch him!
-Bzz! -Oh, thanks!
-Wait, where did you get this? -Bzz!
Just return it when you're done!
Thanks! Ha!
[grunts]
Oh! He's not slowing down!
[Calhoun roars]
Uh-oh.
And this even newer golf cart has leather seats,
power steering, and best of all, a sunroof!
-[Calhoun roars] -[Wendi gasps]
Seriously?
Calhoun!
Why are you so angry?
[Calhoun roars]
Bzz!
[gasps] There's a spiky seed in his foot!
[brakes squeal]
Ah! Whoa!
[giggling]
Whoa!
Ooh! Ah! Sorry, Mr. Garbáge!
[Calhoun] Whoa!
Look out! Coming through! [gasps]
Rollercoaster ahead!
Bzz!
[brakes squeal]
[Archibald screams]
Ooh!
OK, hold still, big fella.
[grunting]
Bull's-eye wins a banana phone!
[ringing]
I'll collect it later!
Thanks, Archibald.
Hope I didn't cause too much trouble.
Well...
[alarm wailing in distance]
Dad, that's the second golf cart he's ruined,
and he's wrecked half the town!
Calhoun, I'm afraid I have no choice but to ban you from Crackridge.
OK.
-Sorry. -[Archibald] Calhoun!
OK, show's over.
Start the coaster!
That dinosaur hit the controls pretty hard. I should do a safety check.
What? We're fine.
Light this candle, bro!
-[buzzer] -[cheering]
Hey, hey, Calhoun, wait up!
Oh, hey.
-I let everyone down, huh? -You sure didn't let me down.
Gosh, I don't think Crackridge likes Calhoun.
Well, you know what? Archibald loves Calhoun.
Thank you, Archibald.
Bye.
Bye, Calhoun!
Bzz-bzz-bzz.
I'm gonna miss him, too.
-[metallic screech] -[Brock] Help me!
-Bzz! -Huh?
Uh... It's not working! The coaster's stuck!
Help, Daddy!
My sweet Brock!
Somebody do something!
Oh, no.
-Bzz-bzz-bzz! -[gasps]
Calhoun!
Archibald!
What's going on?
Those riders, they need you!
I'm on it!
-[gasps] -Don't worry, I got you.
There you go.
The dinosaur appears to be saving the riders!
Uh... OK.
Whoa! Whoa!
Daddy!
Great job, Calhoun!
Bzz-bzz!
Dad, I'm OK!
And these aren't tears. My eyes are just really sweaty.
OK, Brocky.
Calhoun, I may have misjudged you.
Oh, that's good, right?
Yep! And you are free to stay in Crackridge as long as you want.
Just stay away from my golf carts.
-[cheering] -[Archibald] Yeah! Wahoo!
[laughter]
I'm serious.
Now, let's all enjoy the carnival.
For your information, the coaster's out of commission.
-[groaning] -Oh, really?
You thinking what I'm thinking?
I think I'm thinking what you're thinking... I think.
[announcer] Step right up and ride the Dino Flipper!
-Whoa! -[Calhoun laughs] Whoa!
Yay!
[narrator] And that's how Calhoun found his place in Crackridge.
As for Archibald...
This banana phone belongs to you.
Here you go, kid.
Thanks! But don't you want it?
Nah. I'm good.
Looks like Archibald got the prize he was after, too.
The day had arrived for the fourth annual
Strutter Sibling Spooky Scary Monster Movie Marathon.
There's got to be a better title.
I can't find it.
Archibald couldn't watch a movie without his favorite seed brittle.
Last time I didn't have it, I had a tummy ache.
You had a tummy ache because you had too much of it.
Oh, right. That is what happened.
Finly, did you grab my seed brittle?
If it's not here, it's probably in the basement, bro.
Archibald had a complicated history with the basement.
Well, it's creepy!
Every time I go down there, I see a monster!
It is not creepy, Archibald, and that was not a monster.
It is a basement filled with a radiator, boxes,
and stacks of smelly Crackarack uniforms.
-[roars] -[screams]
But those are the creepiest things! I don't think I can do it, guys.
-Yes, you can. -You've been plenty brave before.
Oh, yeah? Name one time.
-Your toe was trapped in sticky toast. -You climbed the tall corn cob.
You jumped over Crackridge Canyon for your sandwich.
Wow, I'm good. All righty!
-I'll go! -Good for you!
Oh! While you're down there, could you feed my philodendron?
-Philo-what-now? -It's my plant.
It can only grow in the dark, but you need growth serum.
Just one drop, OK?
OK.
-Bea, I'll be right back. -Bzz-bzz!
[Archibald] Ha-ha-ha-ha!
A-ha! My seed brittle!
[gasps] And there's Loy's plant.
Wow, that was easy.
Just one drop to you, Miss Plant,
and I'll be back upstairs in no time.
-[thud] -What was that?
[snarling]
[screams] Oh, no! My seed brittle!
Phew! At least I didn't spill all of it. That would have been a total disaster.
Archibald was incredibly focused as he cleaned up the last of the spill.
There. Like nothing ever happened.
Perhaps too focused.
-Wait a minute. -[birds squawking]
Huh. That's funny. I don't remember walking outside.
You didn't, Archibald.
I didn't? Well, then how could I...
[gasps] Uh-oh. I must have used more than I thought.
I need to tell Loy!
But first I need to find the door.
-[twig snaps] -[screams] My butt touched a monster!
A monster? Maybe if we stay still, he'll walk right past us.
-Who are you? -I'm Benny.
Oh. Well, hello, Benny. I'm Archibald.
Have you seen a bug that kind of looks like me,
talks like me, and answers to "Dad"?
Oh, I haven't.
But have you seen a door that looks like a door, acts like a door, and is a door?
Giblets! I think we may be lost.
Well, you're welcome to wait with me in my leaf fort until my dad finds us.
It's not scary in there.
Deep down, Archibald knew that in order to escape the jungle,
he'd have to do what he feared most.
Open the old leftovers in the back of the fridge?
No, the other thing.
Eat the old leftovers in the back of the fridge?
-Remember, from before? -Oh, right, right, right.
I know the basement's scary, Benny, but we got to be brave.
Maybe if we face the spooky stuff together,
we can find your dad and also find the door.
OK. But if the monster comes, I go to my leaf fort.
I made a pretty sweet hammock in there.
[snarling]
Bzz-bzz?
Yeah, where is Archibald? He's usually not one for being late.
-His toe was trapped in sticky toast? -Climbed the tallest corn cob?
When he jumped over Crackridge Canyon for the sandwich?
I stand corrected. How about we start the movie?
[projector whirring]
See, Benny? This isn't so scary. [gasps]
Jiminy Giblets! What is that?
[horn honks]
Oh! It's just my old corn clown costume.
You know, Benny, my siblings may be right.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
It's just a basement.
-Just a basement? -Yeah. Follow me.
[both] Just a basement.
-[both gasp] -[hissing]
[grunts]
Wahoo!
[both] Just a basement.
-Wahoo! -Yeah!
Ha-ha!
[both grunt]
[gasps and screams]
[screaming]
[ball squeaking]
[both laugh] Just a basement.
-[thudding] -[yells] Did anyone else feel that?
[yells] I know! This movie's so realistic!
What?
I said, "This movie's so realistic!"
Sure! I would love a biscuit!
Never mind.
[screaming in movie]
-Bzz! -[thudding]
Thanks for helping me, Archibald.
You're right, this basement isn't scary; it's delicious!
-Want some? -Maybe later.
I'm keeping an empty belly for my seed brittle.
-[gasps] -Wow. That good, huh? OK, I'll nibble.
Mm. You're right, Benny.
It's kind of oaky, chewy, with a cinnamon-y aftertaste.
-[groans] -What?
This is my dad's hat. He would never leave it behind.
Well, I can see why.
It looks fancy.
We were wrong, Archibald.
The monster is real!
And I think he has my dad. What can we do?
-Too late for your fort made of leaves? -Archibald.
-Is that sweet hammock still an option? -Archibald!
[sniffles]
You know, I've been plenty brave before.
Benny, we got to continue on our quest, monster and all!
Do you think we'll be OK?
No clue. But no matter what, at least we'll be together.
Now, let me see that fancy dad hat.
Here, keep it safe for him.
-[tapping on window] -Bzz?
[Bea gasps]
-Bzz-bzz-bzz! -I know, Bea! This movie's great!
So many artistic choices!
Bzz-bzz-bzz!
Yes, this movie's scientifically improbable, but it's just so much fun!
Bzz-bzz-bzz!
I am not scared, Bea!
My face is just really cold.
Bzz...
Follow me, Benny.
-To the radiator! -[Benny] Be right there!
[munching]
Sorry, Archibald. I don't know why, but I can't stop eating!
Oh, that's OK.
Timing's not great, but just try to keep up, all right?
I'm thinking we can climb on top and get a really good view.
And after that, I promise we can get a snack.
-[groaning] -Does that sound good, Benny? Benny?
-Benny, you OK? -[snoring]
Huh. That's a weird-looking sleeping bag.
I get sleepy when I eat, too,
but maybe now is not the time to nap.
There's a monster out there!
Oh, no! What's happening?
[snarling in distance]
No, monster, not now! Benny and I were supposed to face you together!
Things weren't looking great for dear Archibald.
Yeah, no kidding.
-But then he saw an opportunity. -[gasps]
That's not an opportunity, that's the door!
-That's what I meant. -Oh, right, right.
-[snarling] -[screams]
[panting]
You got this, Archibald!
I did it! I found it! I'm...
forgetting my friend Benny.
So cozy. So creepy.
So cozy. So...
Just a basement.
It's just a basement!
I'm coming, Benny!
Come on, Benny. Let's go!
[snarling]
[gasps] OK, that's definitely a monster.
-[snarling] -Stay strong, Archibald.
[roars]
-[screams] -[sighs]
[screams]
Two monsters!
[voice] Benny?
Is that you?
Dad?
Dad!
I've been looking all over for you, Benny. I was so worried.
[coughs and snarls]
-[screams] -Sorry. [coughs]
I've been fighting a cold. [chuckles]
Benny, you know what I'm thinking?
-How you turned my cocoon into a backpack? -Nope, the other thing.
That the monster was my dad the whole time?
Yes!
Group hug!
Uh-oh.
This is a problem.
[rumbling]
-[snarling] -[pounding on door]
[screaming]
-[pounding on door] -[screaming]
Was that our door?
Bzz! Bzz-bzz-bzz!
Something's wrong? Why didn't you tell us, Bea?
Bzz...
[screams]
[screaming]
It just keeps growing and growing and growing!
-[munching] -Huh?
I don't mean to be rude, guys, but I don't know if now is the time to...
Wait! How hungry are you?
Abnormally hungry.
Oh, I could eat.
What if you guys ate the jungle?
That would be great, Archie, but we're only two bugs. It would take forever.
[burps, chirps]
Benny! Your first burp-chirp!
You're all grown-up.
Boy, when I got out of my cocoon and burp-chirped for the first time,
my dad had me summon the whole family.
[gasps] That's it!
We'll get the whole family to help!
Come on, Benny. Burp-chirp with me!
One, two...
[burp-chirping continues]
[rumbling]
-Hi! -Hiya!
-What's up! -How are you?
[talking over one another]
[Archibald] Wow! That is some family tree.
Welcome, Benny's family, to the Basement Jungle Café.
For dinner tonight we have vine pasta,
vine-on bleu, key-lime vine.
[gasps]
[doorknob rattling]
House is back to normal, guys. See?
[all sigh]
I'm sorry for the serum spill, Loy.
-I promise I'll make it up to-- -Monsters in the hallway!
[screaming]
Oh. These are my new friends.
Can they join us for the fourth annual
Strutter Sibling Spooky Scary Monster Movie Marathon?
-Man, there's got to be a better title. -Sure, Archibald.
But this time, let's make it a comedy instead.
