[energetic music]
[narrator] When the cherry blossoms bloom
in Little Tokyo,
the party animals come out to play.
But a dark cloud hangs over
our frolicking friends.
A freak flash of freezing fury
puts party goers in the big chill.
Yet just as quickly as the party goes on the rocks,
a second flash melts the masses
like a microwave!
Somebody's messing with mother nature
and the weather is going through more changes
than a new born's diaper.
Is this a case of cheap chills
and the cherry blossoms?
-[Polly] Speedy! -Sit on your paws, Polly
-I gotta prowl. -Hey!
Speedy Cerviche you come back here now!
I'm not kidding.
This kitten is splitting!
[growls]
I made them especially for you.
-Thanks. -Don't you think
they'll be missing you at the pizza parlor soon?
Well, Speedy?
You sound just like Polly.
Hmm-mm. Frozen fish balls.
Alright, alright! I give up!
Off to the pizza parlor!
I've learned the true meaning of catalyst.
[girl] It's professor Olm's son.
Maybe your father can fly,
but even his son is still grounded.
[bully] I say we dice the little guy.
Huh?
Oh yeah? I don't care what you think.
Oh, but you will.
[screaming and groaning]
Hey!
Stop! Three against one!
[laughs] Time to even the score!
[screaming]
Stop it right now!
I'm getting angry.
[fast paced music]
[frustrated groan]
[laughs nervously]
This is not the perfect place to be right now.
I'm out of here!
If you guys won't stop yourselves,
I guess I just have to help out.
[frightened screaming]
Really rancid!
[explosions]
My mother told me
there will be days like this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What's the matter, Junior?
I thought you were some kind of super boy?
Where's all that power you were bragging about?
I told the truth!
Junior, they're not worth it.
Say what?
[girl] So, your father invented
an amplifier that can boost any kind of energy?
-Hmm-mm. -That doesn't explain
why those kids had it in for you.
It's because I told them
that when my dad got back
from the Invention Convention
they'd be able to run fast
and jump higher than ever before.
[Lucile] Invention Convention?
So, Junior, were you telling the truth?
Of course, but my father is still not back yet.
-I'm worried. -Oh.
[Junior] He said he'd come back
in time to see the cherry blossoms bloom.
Sorta looks like your dad missed the boat.
Of course he did.
My father would never travel by boat.
Oh.
He said he'd be able to fly.
Frequent flying fathers.
Wow.
What will we have next?
Be serious! My dad's missing.
Alright, Junior.
Why don't you tell me everything you can
about your dad's invention?
But Speedy, I already did.
Oh yeah.
Fly?
[dramatic music]
[Bad Bird] Professor Olm, since there is no way to escape
you might as well cooperate.
No? Flo!
Come over here!
What do you think?
Time for a little friendly persuasion?
I won't fall for foul power.
We'll see.
[whimpers]
Now you know what it's like to live in Quebec.
Perhaps now you'll learn to speak el France.
Give us the secret or you'll be eating grapes pal.
My invention is only for good.
I will never give it to bad birds.
Okay, baby, fry him!
[screaming in pain]
Here comes the sun!
This is hotter than a stolen Subaru.
[moans in pain]
[yells]
[Big Cheese] Stop, there are other ways.
My dear professor, do you know where your son is?
That's brilliant.
[Big Cheese] Think what I can do with the mind of a child.
[Big Cheese laughs]
Well, Polly, the rumors say
the Big Cheese has something new
and dangerous up his sleeve.
Sorry, Francine, it looks like
you're gonna have to put in overtime.
Give us some time and he'll be slime.
[Francine] We'll bag him, gag him then tag him.
He said he'd be able to fly.
That poor kid.
Hey, where are you going?
Tell you later. You snooze you lose.
You better have a good explanation for this.
I promise, pal, must adios.
You're impossible!
If by chance, he's off to romance,
he'll lose more than furballs.
[somber music]
Oh, pa.
So, son, you want to follow in your old man's footsteps?
Not exactly.
One of us has to find a way
out of this silly animation contract.
[laughing]
Hi! [chuckles]
You're gonna fall!
Samurai's always land on their feet.
-Not in Kurusawa movies. -Huh?
Anyway, I'm here to help you find your dad.
Thanks a lot.
[fast paced music]
[Bad Bird] Bird Brain battalion attack!
[Speedy] Huh?
Oh no!
Get them boys!
Get a move on, Junior!
[screams]
[screaming]
They must be after me.
It's because of my father.
[Junior] Thanks for saving me, Speedy.
You're the best fighter
I've ever seen. I just know you're gonna find my dad.
Aw, thanks a lot, kid, but it was nothing really.
[screams]
[loud bang]
[Speedy] When will I ever learn!
Do not adjust your set.
[narrator] Will Speedy end up a stat instead of a cat?
Will Junior find senior?
And will you continue to be interested?
Stay tuned and find out!
[eerie music]
Where are we?
I wouldn't know, kid.
[gasps]
[nervous laugh]
We're not in Kansas anymore!
[Bad Bird] Time for a family reunion.
[ninja crow] Right away, sir.
Alright, move it.
Move! I don't mean next week.
Hey, wait a minute.
Where are you taking us?
Not you, just the kid.
Alright.
[narrator] Lucky for Speedy,
he had his portable transmitter
in for servicing earlier that week.
With its state of the art circuit,
he'd know everything that went on
in Junior's presence.
It's my father!
Stay back son!
You're alright, pap!
Junior, get up!
What are you going to do to him?
Professor Olm,
that is entirely up to you.
You show us how to use your power booster
and your son will be set free.
[Big Cheese] It's a simple business transaction.
I get Little Tokyo and you get your son back.
It's the Big Cheese.
And he's up to his old tricks.
With your power booster
you and I will create storms
the likes of which have never been seen
in Little Tokyo.
I will have created chaos
that only I can undo.
Your problems are over.
I'm here to save you.
♪ Rain, rain go away
Come again another day♪
[Big Cheese] The people of Little Tokyo
will bow to my powers
and business will boom!
It will be wonderful!
Oh boy, I can't wait!
I gotta stop him.
Father you can't help him.
You can't give in to his demands
no matter what.
-No! -Yikes!
Let my son go!
Let go you overgrown weed!
So boy, how's the view?
You have your father to thank
for that particular perspective.
Professor Olm, I've grown tired
now shall we have a little cooperation.
I'll get you for this!
I am truly trapped by treacherous trash.
[yawns]
It's a crime when I'm too tired to rhyme.
Is that all you ever think about?
Just because you're mad
at the cat, don't yell at me.
Gee, I'm getting worried about Speedy.
You're what?
[narrator] Meanwhile, back on
Big's flying disaster,
professor Olm was putting the last touches
on Flow's power boost.
Will the Big Cheese's evil plan
come to fruition?
Or will Speedy find a way
out of the rat's trap in time?
[laughing]
Fly here, fly there, pick up this, turn that,
I'm gonna talk to ninja local 47 about this.
I've always wanted to say this;
Fire all phazers!
[dramatic music]
[Big Cheese] Flow, bring on the rain!
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music continues]
[Big Cheese] Beautiful, just beautiful.
Now ice them!
[out of breath]
[Big Cheese] This is beyond my wildest dreams!
[suspenseful music]
I love it! I love it! It's only a matter of time!
What is this? Weather roulette?
I really don't think
we can put up with much more of this.
In fact, we can't.
Something up there smells like Seymour.
This is a job for the Pizza Cats.
[energetic music]
[Francine] Al Dente says it there,
but I can't look everywhere.
Here degree, there degree
that cloud looks like a chickpea.
♪ Samurai Pizza Cats♪
[Francine] Ladies and gentlemen
out of the way, we're after a rat
that has to pay!
Oh, and don't forget
our kneading frenzy on Friday night.
[explosions]
The only kind of pizza
I want to eat today
is an ice cream pizza.
For once, I actually find
myself agreeing with you.
Oh, of course! I can call for reinforcements!
[bell rings]
Gosh, it's a call for reinforcements.
I wonder who it is.
[Francine] Well, that cloud is developing quite a crowd.
So, Meowzma I'm pretty sure Speedy is up in the cloud.
Don't you worry, kitten.
Meowzma is here.
[fast paced music]
[Guido] Meowzma, what brings you out?
Speedy Cerviche has got his head in the cloud.
[Polly giggles] No kidding.
[Meowzma] No, I mean literally.
I'll take a closer look.
-Well, Guido? -Bad Bird.
Boy, [indistinct].
[Meowzma] Glad I wore my best bits.
This is even better than I thought.
[screaming]
Crow alert!
[yelling]
Birds weren't meant to fly!
Hi, time for a break.
What took you so long?
Speedy Cerviche this is what happens
when you go catting around!
[shushes Polly]
Oh!
I... was just...
Fooling. [laughs nervously]
-You two alright? -Yup, thanks to you.
It's high time to get you out of here, Junior
and go find professor Olm.
Speedy, we have to talk.
[whimpers]
Next time I'll stretch you across the stradivarius!
[screaming in pain]
This wasn't in the script.
I want my stunt double
and I want him now.
You forgot to pay somebody off.
On with the show.
[Polly laughs]
Now what?
What's going on?
[Polly] Let me explain,
You're the bad guys,
we're the good guys, we're gonna win.
Not while I'm alive!
[Guido] Don't start to molt, Bad Bird.
It's just your old pal, Guido
and his samurai sun spot umbrella.
Polly Esther at your service.
I'm just a light hearted gal.
Let's rumble I'm tired of rapping.
This is the best part.
Pizza Cats!
Bird Brain battalion attack!
[screaming]
I bet I can do anything you can do better.
[yelling]
[laughing excitedly]
[Speedy] Dash, you dastardly daisy.
[evil laugh]
How would you like a taste of your own medicine?
My magical Ginzu sword
can finish up the weeding.
[fast paced music]
[fast paced music continues]
Now for the big finish!
[explosions]
[massive explosions]
I really ought to find another line of work.
[frustrated groaning]
[explosion]
Now don't try this at home, kids.
Ta Da!
I'm so proud.
You're such a brave and courageous young man.
Gee, pap. I couldn't have done it
without the help of the Pizza Cats.
[Professor Olm] They really are
quite an incredible team, aren't they?
Hmm.
[Junior] One still needs to learn the meaning of teamwork.
Speedy.
Huh?
But you will.
Because if you don't, you're gonna be running
from Polly Esther for the rest of your life.
[Guido and Polly laughs]
[narrator] With another job well done,
the Samurai Pizza Cats
go back to tossing crusts.
At least until their next
exciting adventure.
On the next...
Pizza Cats!
[narrator] The Big Cheese and his cheesy associates
are baffled at their lack of success
in defeating our heroes
and decide to take a look
back at their previous encounters.
They get the highlights
of the last few battles
with the Pizza Cats in the hopes
of finding some weakness they can take advantage of.
They all wear cheap perfume.
[narrator] The movie is filled with action,
suspense, excitement
and yes, you guessed it,
pizza!
Boy, am I stuffed.
[narrator] As its fantastically
photographed scenes filled with spectacular feats
of courage by our heroes
as well as expensive special effects
unfolds before their beady little eyes,
The Big Cheese and his dastardly bunch
are forced to cringe at the tremendous blunders
achieved by the Big Cheese's own forces.
Will Cheese find a weakness
and destroy our heroes?
Will the Pizza Cats discover they are being filmed?
Will Jerry Atric win the award for best direction?
Find out the answer to the first two questions
in Candied Kitty, on the next Samurai Pizza Cats!
The answer to the third question is... no.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Samurai Pizza Cat Fan Club Oath:
The Pizza Cats are samurai.
And I'd like to note,
they're antics take your breath away,
like fur balls in your throat.
We kittens are a special breed,
we never call retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down,
we land upon our feet.
[narrator] So hail to the old Pizza Cat
please ring your little bell,
although you may be pen and ink,
we know you'll fight like
Pizza Cats!
