After Travis has a run-in with one of Blandsford's men, he is chased into the forest where he stumbles upon a magic portal to the hidden world where Paul Bunyan lives.

You lost it?

I didn't lose it.

I was too busy being poisoned,

and shot, and chained,

and gagged, and

generally humiliated,

to see where it went, ok?

You need to find that axe

while I go find blandsford.

Torch the place.

Ooh.

Heh, heh, heh.

Come on, come on.

Hey!

Boss?

Wait for me!

Get out of the way!

The only one who's

going somewhere is you--

and that's to jail.

And who are you?

Paul bunyan.

Really.

But don't you think you

should stop worrying about me

and be more

concerned about them?

Oh, dear.

Decisions, decisions.

Boss!

Boss!

You waited, thank you,

thank you, thank you!

Crush him, you imbecile.

But-- but that's Paul bunyan.

Oh, of course it isn't him.

Huh?

Ah!

Coward!

Start pushing.

Huh?

Zob-boz-- zob-key--

boz-key-zob.

Travis, you need to hurry!

Hold on, I've almost got it.

Paul!

Oh, no.

What are we going to do?

Remember what I said, Travis.

You don't need to be

big to do big things.

The crowd is trapped in there

and we can't hold the fire

back much longer.

The county fire

department is on its way,

but they might not

make it in time.

Huh?

Oh no!

Paul!

Paul, where are you going?

Travis?

I need that word.

Just keep trying.

Will this help?

Yeah!

They had thrown it in

the back of the truck.

I told you, I just needed

a minute to think about it.

Ha ha, yeah.

Babe, thank you!

Um.

Not enough water!

We need some water.

This hose is so--

zob-key-boz!

Zob-key-boz!

Whoa!

You know, you would think

if a guy was Paul bunyan,

he might have heard

of the word timber!

Oh, my babies.

Grandma!

Grandpa!

Those guys over

there hypnotized you

into signing over

your properties

so they can build a big mall!

You!

You stupid, greedy,

double-crossing hack!

This is all your fault.

That's Paul bunyan!

It is.

It's Paul bunyan,

and that's babe.

It's damp, but it's

evidence, all right.

It's his fault!

Here, let me give

you a hand with that.

He ruined everything!

Shut it, you blithering

waste of space.

I'm allergic to paint!

Oh, no, I have probably

already lost half my hearing.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you talking to me?

I can't hear you.

I'm right here, babe.

Sorry.

Say again?

Hello?

Hello?

I see your lips moving.

Hello?

We always knew you existed.

Excuse me, folks.

One second.

Mr. bunyan?

You saved our

lives and our town.

We just can't thank you enough.

Glad to have helped.

Your grandchildren were

both very brave today.

Well, I guess it's that time.

I guess so.

I'm not so good at farewells.

Actually, he's not that

good at hellos, either.

Goodbye, Whitney.

Bye, Paul.

I'm so pleased that you're

not just a tall tale.

You know, Travis,

you're the real reason

all these people are safe.

We did a big thing

tonight, huh, Paul?

Yes, we did.

We sure did.

Bye!

Bye, Paul and babe!

Hello!

Hey, Iris!

Woah!

Oh, mail call!

Yeah!

What did we get?

What did we get?

When did we get?

Oh, this one's

a note from Iris.

Ha ha!

Really?

What does it say?

None of your business.

Ok.

Heh heh.

Who's the other one from?

Who's the other one from?

What?

Aw, come on.

Don't leave me in suspense!

It's from Travis and Whitney.

Guess who they were for

Halloween this year?

Oh,

that freaks me out.

"Oh, how I wish

that I was big like you

stronger in every way,

bigger than life

I can see myself

spreading a smile to everyone

and I know this feeling

is where I can be

out of the shadows

of disbelieving

lumbering taller than

the red pine trees

come and follow me

I can do anything

if I can dream it

then my life can sing

with my friends all by my side

we don't have to be

big to do big things.

There are some days

I feel so small I know

no one can hear my voice

and I remember

I need to use my strength

from deep down inside my heart

so give me a reason

to show you my smile

it's brighter than

a brand new day

the smaller the dreams

are, the harder to hold

so bring on the mountains,

get out of my way

I can do anything

if I can dream it

then my life can sing

with my friends all by my side

we don't have to be

big to do big things.

Don't have to be

big to do big things

I know it's true, i

learned it all from you

I learned it all from you, yeah

sometimes big on the

outside doesn't mean

you have the strength

to move a mountain

or a heart

I can do anything

if I can dream it

then my life can sing

with my friends all by my side

we don't have to be

big to do big things.

With my friends all by my side

we don't don't have to

be big to do big things."

"I was

sitting stinking

like a good dog drinking

in the lap of my farmer

after all day working

sedated I work well day to day

awaken

my head is aching

loving pink sky

thank god I'm plowing

ease my pain

I work so well dumb down.

I'm a good dog,

me and my habits

but I can't contain i

ain't never caught a rabbit

hey hey hey hey hey

how could that boy

with everything that he's got

walk his own momma

to the chopping block

I said hey hey hey hey hey

wouldn't you flip if

a dog started talking

and wouldn't you trip if

on two legs he was walking

I was in the barn

happy and willing

'till I looked up at the house

and I got these feelings."
