* Get a happy-go-lucky feelin'*
You know,
you worry too much.
In fact, everybody
worries too much.
Here. Just look
at the morning paper.
Turn to any page.
You'll find the whole world
worryin'...
about some future age.
But why get so excited?
The end of the world's
been comin' since 1 903.
That's, uh, B.C.,
of course.

*Just learn to smile
and in a while *
* You'll find trouble **
- You bet, you'll find trouble !
- [ Meows ]
Oh ! Aah ! Ohh !
Take it easy, son.
Why, you're just a bundle of nerves.
[ Yowls ]
You see ?
Jumpy as a cat !
Comes from always
rushin' into things.
[ Doll Cries ]
Hmm ! Now what
have I done ?
I guess I don't know
my own strength.
Sorry to upset you, miss.
Have you on your feet
in a jiffy.
- Upsy-daisy.
- Mama !
Your mama isn't here,
honey.
But if I can be of service,
the name is Cricket.
Uh,J. Cricket.
You can call meJiminy.
- Oops ! Sorry ! Ha-ha.
Oh. Howdy, chum.
Why so glum ?
Say, what's the matter ?
You worried about somethin' too ?
Tsk, tsk. Never saw
such a dismal pair.
A deadpan doll
and a droopy bear.
You ought to try my recipe.
Be full of fun and fancy-free.
Life is a song--
happy, gay.
So let's have some music.
Come on ! What d'you say ?
'' Bongo'' ? Now, what
Oh ! ''A Musical Story
Sung by Dinah Shore.''
Well, what are
we waitin' for ?

[ Grunting ]
A ringer !
It's a gift.
* Da, da, dee, da, la, doh *
* La, da **
Take it away, Dinah !
-[ Thud ]
- [ Dinah Shore On Recording ]
This is the story...
- of three bears.
- Yeah, I know.
The mama bear, the papa bear,
and the itsy-bitsy baby bear.
[ Chuckling ]
But it's not the story you expect.
This is a love story.
It's about a little
girl bear...
and a big, burly,
brawny brown bear...
who wanted very much
to be her boyfriend.
But mostly, this is
He was a circus bear.
He was born in the circus,
grew up in the circus.
In fact, Bongo was the star
of the circus.
In fact, Bongo was the star
of the circus.
Why, he could juggle and dance
while on a trapeze,
walk a tightrope
with the greatest of ease.
In jujitsu,
he was beyond compare.
Once threw a bull
at the county fair.
Super at wrestling
and lifting weights.
- Outboxed the champs of 1 7 states.
**[ Drumroll ]
They all packed in
from near and far...
to see this
death-defying star.
With mouths wide open,
they watched his ascent...
as he daringly climbed
to the top of the tent!
**[ Circus Band ]
Then, for a grand climax,
-he would gracefully plunge 300 feet...
-[ Squish ]
-into a wet sponge!
[ Lock Clicks ]
Poor Bongo.
[ Sighs ]
Naturally,you'd think
he'd be handled with kid gloves,
- treated like a king...
- [ Splash ]
and pampered like a baby.
But, no! He was tossed around
like an old shoe.
Bongo, the bear
in the gilded cage.
to an imaginary life...
far removed from the circus.
*Bongo, Bongo, Bongo *
*Bongo, Bongo, Bongo **
Some half-forgotten instinct
kept calling him.
For you see,
Bongo was a dreamer.
[ Man Shouting ] Hey, Bongo!
Get going! You're on!
**[ Circus Band ]
[ Squish ]
[ Dinah ] The call of the wild
kept ringing in his ears.
Psst ! Hey.
Bongo !
[ Dinah ] He couldn't ignore it
any longer.
[ Distant Echo ]
*Bongo, Bongo, Bongo *
[ Dinah ] He had to answer the call
of the great open spaces.
Come on out, Bongo.
[ Distant Echo ] *Bongo, Bongo **
Come on out, Bongo.
Come on out, Bongo !
[ Echo ] Bongo, Bongo.
[ Dinah ] He was crackin'up!
[ Echo ] Bongo, Bongo!
-[ Dinah ] He was losin'his grip!
- Bongo, Bongo, Bongo!
He had to escape, to get away!
Just gotta get away!
-[ Echo ] Bongo, Bongo!
- Gotta get away! Gotta get away.
- Bongo, Bongo, Bongo!
- Gotta, gotta, gotta!
Bongo! Bongo!
Bongo! Bongo!
Bongo! Bongo! Bongo!
Bongo! Bongo! Bongo!
[ Dinah ] At last he was free.
Free. Free ?
Oh! But this was even better
than he'd expected!
''Oh, boy, ''thought Bongo,
''this is livin'!''
- Whoo !
- He felt so good,
he just had to run around.
And jump.
[ Sniffing, Sneezing ]
Why, he even tried to growl.
[ Squeaky Yelp ]
''Oh, boy! A tree.
That's for me!''
[ Knocking ]
Just right for climbin'too.
- [ Chattering ]
- [ Chattering ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Dinah ] ''Oh, well. What if I can't
climb a big old tree ?
This is still the place
for a fellow like me. ''
-[ Chorus ] * Ooh, ah, ohh *
-Just lazy and loafin'...
and fancy-free.
-[ Dinah ] *I love to hang around *
-* Ooh *
* The lazy countryside *
are nice and breezy *
[ Dinah ] * With nature's gang around *
* The lazy countryside *
is twice as easy *
-[ Dinah ] * Where the crickets *
* You don't hear in the city *
*Keep a-hummin'in your ear
Oh, so pretty *
*And it's just too much
for words *
-*Listenin'to the chorus
of the birds *
- [ Chirping ]
*I like to stay around *
* The lazy countryside *
[ Chorus ] *And while away the hours *
[ Dinah ] *Just kind of play around *
* The lazy countryside *
[ Chorus ] *As free
as bees and flowers *
[ Dinah ] * There's more fun in
takin'the sun in *
*And to roam the spaces wide *
*It's the place for me
Gee, but it's great to be *
* 'Round the lazy countryside *
* There's more fun in
takin'the sun in *
*And to roam the spaces wide *
*It's the place for me *
* Gee, but it's great to be *
* 'Round the lazy *
* Countryside **
[ Yawning ] ''Oh, boy, ''thought Bongo,
''this is the stuff.''
[ All Yawning ]
''To stretch out
under a canopy of stars...
''studding the velvet
softness of the night.
To sleep in the peace
and quiet of the woods. ''
[ Mutters ]
The stillness of the night
descends like a sheltering veil.
Hush. All nature sleeps.
[ Other Insects Making Sounds ]
[ Crash ]
[ Squeaking ]
[ Howling ]
[ Bees Buzzing ]
[ Teeth Chattering, Shivering ]
-[ Dinah ] Then came the dawn.
[ Yawns ]
[ Crows, Clears Throat, Chirps ]
[ Yawns ]
[ Gasps ]
Ohh. Bongo felt
as stiff as a board...
and as cranky
as an old bear.
[ Sneezes ]
Bongo was discouraged.
A fine kind of bear
he'd turned out to be!
He didn't even know
how to act like a bear.
- This rough, rugged stuff
wasn't for him.
- [ Sighs ]
Especially on an empty stomach.
Uh-uh. [ Raspberry ]
[ Giggling ]
''This is just too good to be true!
''I-- I'm either hungry
or I'm still dreamin'.
''Ow! I'm awake!
It must be true.
Oh, this is much better
than dreamin'!''
[ Gurgling ]
[ Thud ]
''This must be heaven.
I-it can't be real!
''It's just too good
to be true.
But let me go right on dreamin',
as long as I'm with you. ''
* This is too good *
* To be true *
*I can't believe
it's real *
* Can it be you *
*I really see *
*I never knew *
*I'd find an angel *
*And out of the blue *
* You came to me *
* You're all
* That I've been dreaming of *
*And fly away *
*But if you're only *
*Passing through *
* Then take me to heaven
with you *
* Or is this a dream *
* Too good to be *
* True *
[ Chorus ]
* This is too good to be true *
*I can't believe it's real *
* Can it be you *
*I really see *
*I never knew
I'd find an angel *
* Out of the blue
you came to me *
* You're all
* That I've been dreaming of *
*Don't fly away *
[ Dinah ] *But if you're only *
*Passing through *
* Then take me to heaven with you *
* Or is this a dream *
* Too good to be *
* True **
The air grew still with a sudden chill.
No talk, no laughs, no chatter.
With the trees shaking, the ground
quaking, the crowd began to scatter.
Out of his lair came the third bear,
with *** in his eye.
He took in the scene of love serene
with jealousy and surprise.
He was the roughest, toughest,
meanest bear.
Lumpjaw by name,
a villain for fair.
- Well... what's this ?
It's no dream.
It's a nightmare!
- [ Gulps ]
- ''He-He-Hello, ''
''Hmm. Kind of unfriendly.
Probably doesn't know
who I am. ''
[ Growls ]
''Just a moment.
This is my affair. ''
''He-He-Hello,
Lulubelle, dear. ''
Gosh, Bongo was surprised.
Why should Lulubelle turn against him ?
That was no way for a lady to act.
[ Growls ]
Lulubelle's feelings
were hurt.
-All right.
- [ Sniffles ]
She'd give Mr. Bongo
just one more chance.
- [ Gasps ]
- ''What have I done ?''
[ All Grunting ]
Poor Bongo.
*It was too good *
-* To be true *
-[ Chorus ] *Ah *
Gone were his dreams.
His world was shattered.
Why hadn't someone ever told him
about all of these things...
that really mattered?
-And now,
-*Ah **
well, now it was
just too late.
He'd never find out that
when bears are in love,
they always say it
with a slap.
**[ String Band ]
[ Male Chorus ] * When a bird
loves a bird he can twitter *
he can yap *
- [ Boom ]
when he says I love you *
*But a bear likes to say it
with a slap *
[ Dinah ] * When a whippoorwill's
in love he can whipper *
-*All the horses neck
and all the turtles snap *
-* Ooh *

There's nothin'to compare *
* With a love tap
Strong or weak *

romance and you ever get the chance *

[ Needle Skipping On Phonograph Record ]
Excuse me. There.
Now who says dreams
don't come true ? Well !
Three is a crowd, they say.
So I'll drop back another day.
'' Miss Luana Patten.''
Mmm ! Well.
Of course, it's not cricket
to read other folks' mail, but--
- ''A party !
Tonight !'' Mmm.
''Charlie McCarthy.
Mortimer Snerd!
Edgar Bergen ?''
''Please come!''
Why, I'd be delighted!

Can't go wrong *

across the way *

Don't delay *

[ Laughing ]
Oh, dear. Nanny goats and petticoats.
- I'm a caution.
- Yes, you certainly are.
Tell me, what is the secret
of your lovely complexion ?
- Well, I-- I use saddle soap.
- I see.
- Yes.
- Yes. If I'm not being
too personal, Ophelia--
- Yeah ?
- Uh, how old are you ?
- Oh, I'm, uh, a girl my age.
- A girl your age ?
- Yes.
- And how old is that ?
- Uh, 28.
- Twenty-eight.
I thought you were
Well, I knocked off a few years
for good behavior.
I don't care for that.
It's kid stuff. Ha-ha.
- Well, we're awfully glad
you came to our party.
- Well.
- Did you have fun ?
- Oh, yes, indeedy.
I thought Charlie made a pig of himself
with that chocolate cake.
Oh,you're quite right.
- [ Ophelia ] Yes, I am. Yes.
[ Bergen ] Yes, I agree with you.
- Well, good night, Luana.
- Good night, Ophelia.
- Bonne nuit, Mortimer.
- Uh... ma'am ?
- Bonne nuit.
- Oh, yes, ma'am. Yeah, yeah. Bunny--
Uh, bunny, bunny wee,
bunny wee. Bun--
Uh... uh, I don't know no bunny wee.
[ Sniffling, Muttering ]
-[ Ophelia ] Good night, Charlie.
- Uh, good night.
- You know, Ophelia, you look so sweet.
- Ah, what'd you say ?
- I say, I think you look so sweet.
- Yes ?
- I'm going to kiss you good night.
- Oh, help, help, help !
Help, he--
[ Giggles ]
Isn't that a wonderful trick ?
Yes, it is. Yes. I wish I could
enjoy my first childhood...
as much as he does his second.
[ Laughs ]
Now, Luana, how would you like another
piece of cake or some ice cream ?
- No, thank you. I'm full up.
- Some candy ?
- Care for a cigar ?
- Me ? [ Laughs ]
How about you,
Mortimer ?
- Mortimer?
- Uh... I don't smoke.
I don't mean that.
Well, what shall we do now ?
- Any suggestions ?
- How would you like to go down
to the city dump...
- and watch me slug rats ?
- Certainly not.
- No ?
- How would you like to
hear me tell a story ?
Oh, I'd love it.
Wouldn't you, Charlie ?
Well, I, uh...
y-y-yeah... no.
This is a story that
everyone should know.
Yes, but not everyone should tell it.
And you know who.
Well, I'm going to tell it anyway.
Now, many, many years ago--
I think I'll run out
and wind a sundial.
- You'll stay right here.
- Yes, sir.
[ Bergen ] Once upon a time,
long, long ago--
Funny, nothing ever
happens nowadays.
There was a place
called Happy Valley.
Now, it was called
Happy Valley...
because everyone
- No ! Well, there's a hunk
of logic for you.
- Are you listening, Mortimer ?
- That's right,yes.
Now just try and imagine it. Can't
you just close your eyes and see it ?
Well, I can't see very good
with my eyes closed.
My eyelids
get in the way.
- You create a picture
in your mind's eye.
- Oh.
- That's not easy for him.
His mind gets in the way.
- [ Laughs ]
- Now try and paint a mental picture.
- Yeah.
I-- I painted a barn
once, I did.
- Well, that's very interesting.
- Yeah.
- It was-- It was a red barn.
It was. Yeah.
- Well, forget the barn.
- Yeah.
- And try and picture Happy Valley.
- Well, I'll-- I'll work on it.
- That's the spirit.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll work on it.
Let's see, uh--
Let's see, now.
It's, uh-- Oh, let's say
it's about, uh--
Uh, what was
the question ?
-Happy Valley.
-Oh, yeah ! Yeah. That's right. Yeah.
- Let's see, uh--
- Think hard !
Yeah.
[ Grunts ]
Let's see, uh--
[ Groans ]
[ Grunting ]
Oh, I'm tired.
All that work for nothin'.
- Can I try ?
-[ Bergen ] Certainly.
Yes. I think I can
see it, Mr. Bergen.
It's beautiful.
[ Bergen ] Yes, it was one of
nature's garden spots,
nestled among the green,
rolling hills.
Can't you see the lovely brook
as it flows through the valley?
[ Mortimer ] Mmm. Yeah,yeah,yeah.
lined with stately trees.
[ Mortimer ] Trees. Yeah.
[ Bergen ] Lush fields and prosperous
farms dot the landscape.
[ Mortimer ] L-Landscape. Yeah.
[ Bergen ] And high on a hilltop
overlooking the valley,
-shining like a jewel, stands--
-[ Mortimer ] My red barn.
[ Bergen ] No, no.
It was something much nicer.
- It was a majestic castle!
-[ Luana ] Oh, that's pretty.
[ Bergen ] And something very precious
is kept within these castle walls.
- * My *
-[ Luana ] What is it ?
[ Bergen ] It's a magic,
singing harp. Listen.
* What a happy day *
* What a sunny sky, kind of makes you
sigh in a happy way *
* What a very merry day *
* All the world is gay *
* When your cares are light
*And you're swept away *
* The air is sweet
with clover *
* The clouds
are turning over *
* Oh,yes
They're turning over *
*Just to show
*My, what a happy day *
*Never knew such bliss
Never read of this *
*In a book or play *
* What a lovely day *
* What a great big gorgeous, sumptuous
thumping, bumptious *
*Hum-galumptious simply scrumptious *
*My, what a happy day *
[ Bell Clanking ]
* M-M-My, what a happy day *
* Never knew such bliss
Never read of this in a book or play *
* What a lovely day *
* What a great big gorgeous, sumptuous
thumping, bumptious *
* Hum-galumptious
simply scrumptious *
* Oh, my, oh, my *
* What a happy *
* Day **
[ All Laughing ]
[ Bergen ] Yes, the voice
of this golden harp...
and prosperity over the valley.
- But it was too good to last...
-[ Charlie ] I knew
there was a catch in it.
- for one day--
-[ Charlie ] They built a schoolhouse.
[ Bergen ] No, no. One day a
mysterious shadow crept over the valley.
And then something dreadful
happened!
[ Thunder Rolling, Lightning Crashing ]
Aaaaaah !
[ Luana ] What happened?
[ Bergen ] When the shadow lifted,
the golden harp was gone.
No longer was the valley happy,
for without the magic of the harp,
all was misery,
misery, misery.
[ Charlie ] Just like the eighth grade.
[ Bergen ] Desolation
spread over the land.
Everything was drying up.
-[ Mortimer ] Dry rot.
-[ Charlie ] Yes, isn't it ?
-[ Bergen ] Charlie.
-[ Charlie ] Yes, sir.
[ Bergen ] The fields of golden corn
turned to dust.
[ Charlie ] Kerplop.
flowed no more.
To think that this
was once Happy Valley!
[ Charlie ] Now it's Gruesome Gulch.
[ Bergen ] Days pass, weeks pass.
[ Charlie ] I pass. New deal.
[ Luana ] What happened
to all the people ?
[ Bergen ] Well, suppose we look in
-[ Mortimer ] Is that a peasant ?
-[ Charlie ] That's a cow, stupid.
[ Luana ] Well, at least they had milk.
[ Bergen ] Well, she used to be
a good milker. But now--
[ Charlie ] She's an udder failure.
[ Bergen ] She was the *** friend
of a once-proud family.
[ Charlie ] Well, they're certainly
out of the high rent district.
[ Bergen ] And there they are,
three poor farmers, gripped
by the pangs of starvation.
Still alive, still breathing,
sharing a pitiful crust
between them.
Share and share alike.
Sharing and staring.
Staring and sharing.
[ Charlie ] Uh,just tell it,
don't ham it.
[ Bergen ] But are
Have they lost hope ?
Yes. Men facing famine,
naught left but beans.
[ Charlie ] Ahem. Bean,you mean.
[ Bergen ] If it were one man
and three beans--
But, no. One bean
and three men.
[ Charlie ] Well, at least
there are no bones in it.
[ Bergen ] Just look at that
miserable creature,
doggedly struggling
to maintain life,
a gaunt, lean bag
of bones and feathers.
Truly a picture
of despair.
But Donald
doesn't whimper.
- Donald doesn't give up.
- Shut up !
I can't stand it !
[ Squawking ]
[ Goofy ] Easy, Donald. Easy!
[ All Shouting At Once ]
There. There, now.
There. Easy, Donald.
I-- I'll be all right.
Yeah. I'll be all right.
[ Panting ]
I'll be all right.
[ Bergen ] He says he's all right,
but I wonder.
He's suffered too much.
What diabolical thought
is being hatched in the fevered brain...
of this poor, demented duck ?
Donald !
No ! No !
Nice bossy, bossy.
[ Laughs ]
- Nice old cowsy wowsy.
- Donald !
- [ Squawking ]
- [ Mooing ]
- [ Mickey ] Donald! No, Donald!
- [ Mooing ]
[ Squawking ]
Give it here ! Let me--
[ Muttering, Panting ]
I just gotta eat.
I'm so... hungry.
was completely out of his head.
-Cut it out, will ya ? I get the idea !
-He was a pitiful sight.
- [ Choking, Moaning ]
- Poor Donald.
- Yeah, poor me !
It was all they could
do to restrain him.
- You see, he had just about reached
the end of his rope.
- Yeah.
Oh, it was a sorry
predicament indeed.
What to do ?
What to do ?
Well, Donald may be nuts,
but he's got the right idea.
- Kill the cow.
- Oh, no, Charlie !
The cow was their best friend.
Well, a friend in need
is a friend indeed.
- So what ?
- So, they need some steak.
No ! If you're
gonna kill the cow,
I don't wanna hear
the rest of the story.
Well, she wouldn't
have to know.
and surprise her.
- Yeah, that's what we'll do.
We'll kill the cow.
- Oh, no, Charlie. You mustn't.
We'll get a stranglehold
on her while she's asleep.
- a-a-and then push her off the cliff.
- Oh, no !
I ain't a-gonna listen
to the story.
[ Charlie ] Well, it'll be your fault
if they starve to death.
- [ Luana ]
Why don't they sell the cow?
- That's just what they did.
Well, why didn't you say so in the first
place, and save a lot of time ?
I could save a lot of time by not
telling the story at all !
Your idea is not
without merit.
Well, back to the scene
of desolation.
Things are beginning
to look much brighter now,
because as Mickey goes
to the village to sell the cow,
the thought of prosperity...
brings new hope
to the famished farmers.
Even Donald has fully recovered,
for soon their long-empty plates...
will overflow with food.
Hey, look !
* Turkey, lobster sweet potato pie *
'til they reach the sky *
* Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa
Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa *
* Oh-h-h-h *
* I wanna eat and eat
and eat and eat *
* And eat until I die *
[ Donald, Goofy ]
* Turkey, lobster sweet potato pie *
*Pancakes piled up
'til they reach the sky *
* Lots of starches
Lots of greens *
* Fancy chocolate-covered-- **
- Beans !
- What d'you mean, beans ?
Yeah, fellows. I sold the cow
Beans !
[ Squawking ]
[ Mickey ] But Donald!
These are not ordinary beans!
They're magic beans!
in the light of a full moon,
do you know what'll happen ?
Yes ! We get more beans !
[ Squawking ]
- No, no, Donald !
- [ Donald ] Magic beans! Phooey!
[ Bergen ] Poor Mickey,
cheated into trading his cow
for a handful of beans.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
What a mean trick!
Swindling an innocent farmer
out of all he owned...
that the beans were magic.
Planted in the light
of a full moon!
What a shame to deceive
Magic beans, indeed!
- Light of a full moon.
-[ Charlie ] Bergen ? Oh, Bergen!
-[ Bergen ] What ?
-[ Luana ] There's something moving.
[ Bergen ] Why,yes. Well, maybe
there is some magic in them !
All right, now let's all keep quiet
and see what happens.
[ Snoring ]
[ Snoring ]
Mmm.
[ Giggles ]
[ Bergen ] And all
through the night, it grew,
onward and upward.
[ Charlie ] That thing
is a menace to aviation.
[ Bergen ] And so,
with the coming of dawn,
we find the bewildered farmers
staring at a mammoth castle,
miles above the earth.
Their curiosity was aroused,:
nothing could hold them back.
Man or monster?
Friend or foe ?
Aprincess or a dragon ?
[ Bergen ] What drew them toward
this place of mystery?
Hunger? Desperation ?
Or perhaps it was
love of adventure.
What a fantastic experience,:
perhaps mortal man...
on this strange land.
-[ Charlie ] Well, somebody did.
-[ Mortimer ] Oh, gosh!
Who made them ?
[ Charlie ] Well, it wasn't Cinderella.
[ Bergen ] Soon they reached
the moat surrounding the castle.
But this didn't stop them. On they went,
as if drawn by some irresistible force.
And then, suddenly, without warning,
out of the sky above--
- [ Dragonflies Droning ]
-[ Luana ] Ooh, dragonflies!
[ Charlie ] Yeah. A-flyin'front
and draggin'behind.
- Gee, what whoppers !
- Yeah. Bombers !
Come back and fight !
[ Squawking ]
[ All Screaming ]
[ Bergen ] Finally,
they reached the castle.
[ Charlie ] The hard way.
[ Bergen ] This was the biggest
adventure of their lives.
Forgotten was their hunger,:
forgotten was their fear.
It took courage to scale
these massive steps,
to make this journey
into the unknown.
But these stouthearted lads
never faltered.
Three minds with
but a single thought.:
What mystery lurked within those
cold, forbidding walls ?
Will no one answer?
Are they walking into a trap ?
Do they go in ?
[ Charlie ] You know,you could
stand some rehearsal on this story.
[ Bergen ] Inside, the tremendous hall
was as silent as a tomb.
Not a sign of life
anywhere.
[ Charlie ] Caught with his pants--
-[ Bergen ] Charlie!
-[ Charlie ] Caught with his pants--
-[ Bergen ] Charlie!
-[ Charlie ]
Well, his slip was showing.
[ Bergen ] They gazed
in speechless wonder,
almost afraid to breathe.
Suddenly they looked up.
What was it ?
[ Donald ] Food!
Yum,yum,yum,yum ! Let me at it!
Oh ! Who's there ?
Who is it ?
- [ Mickey ] That's the harp!
- [ Donald ] Boy, oh, boy!
How'd you get here ?
I was kidnapped
- Oh. A-- A giant !
- A giant !
- A giant ?
- A giant !
- Bigger than 40 men.
- Oh, no !
An ogre who had the power to turn
himself into anything, man or beast.
That calls
for a drink.
[ Hiccups ]
It was this heartless monster that
swooped down under cover of darkness,
- carried off the golden harp and
brought ruin to Happy Valley.
- No !
- [ All Gasping ]
Ohh !
[ Growling ]
- [ Growling ] I'm a giant.
- You are not.
- You're nothing of the kind.
- Well, I'm a small giant.
- No, you're not.
- I'm, uh-- I'm tougher than 40 men.
- You're not.
- Well... uh, 20 men.
- No.
- No ? Ten men ?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself,
Charlie ? Why do you act like that ?
I don't know. I guess it's just
a stage I'm goin' through.
- Well, take off that moustache.
- Yeow !
Now go over there
and behave yourself.
Yes, sir.
Everything I do is wrong.
But why did the giant
want to steal the harp ?
Because he was cruel and selfish. He
didn't care what happened to the valley.
He just wanted someone
to sing him to sleep.
Well, why didn't he
turn on the radio ?
Well, they didn't have
radios in those days.
Yeah. That's why they called it
Happy Valley. [ Laughs ]
- What did the giant look like ?
- Well, he was--
Oh-- I'll try
and show you.
He looked something
like this.
Ha. Looks like
my pig Smedley.
Never mind the self-portraits.
Ha-ha.
Well, no, that isn't right.
He-- He looked more like--
more like this.
- There he is now. And the giant
came home for dinner, roaring--
- Drunk.
- I was not !
-[ Bergen ] I mean, he was not.
- No.
-[ Bergen ]
Down the castle hall he came,
-roaring--
- Fe, fi, fo, fum !
Fe, fi, fo, fum !
* Fe, fi, fo, fum *
* He, hi, ho, hum *
* I'm a most amazing guy
A most amazing guy am I *
*Fe, fi, fo, fum *
* He, hi, ho, hum *
* I'm the stuff, I'm tellin' you
For here's what I can do *
* I can change myself
into an elf *
* Fly up high
like the birdies *
* I can disappear
into atmosphere *
Peekaboo.
* 'Cause I know the magic wordies *
* Fi, fo, fe, foy
Fe, fe, fe, fe **
Fifi ?
I don't know no Fifi.
his magic words,you know.
Fe, fi, fo, fum.
- I smell--
-[ Charlie ] You're telling us!
[ Bergen ] Wait.
He may be smarter than he looks.
[ Luana ] Oh, I hope
he doesn't find them.
[ Charlie ] Hey, Giant,
you're getting warm.
[ Mortimer ] Well, don't tell him !
-[ Charlie ] Behind the jar, stupid.
-[ Luana ] Charlie!
[ Sniffing ]
[ Giant ] Pot roast!
Chocolate pot roast!
With stispacio--
With dismashmee--
With dismash--
With green gravy.
** [ Humming ]
Feedy, fidey,
fodey,
fum !
- ** [ Humming ]
-[ Gasping ]
[ Sneezes ]
Gesundheit.
Oh, no, you don't !
You can't get away from Willie.
I gotcha !
I think I gotcha.
Yeah, I gotcha.
Willie.
What ?
[ Charlie ] He'll have to talk fast
to get out of this one.
to Mickey. Just watch.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty.
Boy, what a life line !
But what's this here ?
What is it ?
What is it !
Uh-oh !
I can't believe it !
- Is it bad ?
- Why, i-it says here...
that you can change
yourself into anything !
Sure, sure !
You wanna see me ?
I can change myself
[ Laughs ]
Go on, gimme somethin'.
-Anything!
- Anything ?
Anything.
[ Bergen ] See ? Mickey
never misses a trick.
- He's got a good idea.
- Well, uh--
Can you change
into a fly ?
A cute, teeny-weeny,
itsy-bitsy housefly ?
That's it.
A housefly.
Aw, you don't want a fly.
How about a bunny
with long, pink ears ?
Ha. Well, of course,
if you can't do a fly, why, uh--
All right.
A fly.
- [ Shouts ] Why ?
- Well, they're, uh--
- Because.
- Okay.
A teeny-weeny fly.
[ Laughs ]
With pink wings.
- Now for the magic wordies.
- [ Whistles ]
*Fe, fi, fo, fum
He, hi, ho, hum *
*I'm a most amazing guy
Te, ti, te, ti, te, ti *
You sure you don't
want a pink bunny ?
Hey, what is this ?
You think you fool Willie.
[ Charlie ] Yeah, a couple more good
ideas like that and they're finished.
[ Bergen ] Well, I'll admit the little
fellows are in a bad fix.
But Mickey isn't one
to give up without a struggle.
and with a little luck,
they may still pull through.
This isn't the first time
Mickey's been in a tight spot.
a tall, thin mouse ?
Uh, I mean no.
for the prisoners.
[ Charlie ] Looks like their goose
is cooked.
[ Bergen ] Oh, Fate may yet
deal them a winning hand.
Don't forget, there's still the magic
harp. She knows the giant's weakness.
-[ Charlie ] She could be my weakness.
- ** [ Harp ]
[ Bergen ] There might still be
a chance of escape...
if she could only use her magic voice
to put the giant to sleep.
[ Charlie ] If she can't,
I know who can.
[ Bergen ] Shh.
Let's all be quiet now, and see.
*Everyone is so delightful *
* No one's mean or spiteful *
* Yes, and in my favorite dream *
* There my heart can go romancing *
*Dancing to a heavenly theme *
*But there's something else
I look forward to *
*It's a secret *
*But here's a clue *
*He's my favorite *
* You know who *
* You're the hero of *
-*My most favorite *
- [ Snoring ]
*Dream *
Oh, mercy.
Forgive us.
[ Snoring ]
[ Yawning ]
**[ Harp Humming ]
[ Snoring ]
* You'll find the key *
* The right vest pocket
Go carefully *
**[ Harp Humming ]
Oh !
-**[ Harp Humming ]
- [ Snoring ]
Ah-- Ah-- Ah--
[ Sneezing ]
I'll smash--
Ah-- I'll smash--
Ah-- Ah-- Ah--
Ah-- Ah-- Ah-- Ah--
Ah-- Ah-- Ah--
[ Snorts ]
[ Muttering ]
Where is he ?
Hello ?
Nightmare.
[ Yawns ]
Oh, boy.
[ Snoring ]
- He made it !
- He did ?
- Here he comes with the key !
- Let me have it, Mickey !
[ Bergen ] Well, it looks like
success at last.
Free from the clutches
of that terrible monster.
And now to find the beanstalk, climb
down and return home in triumph,
with a big surprise
for Happy Valley.
But wait. Mickey's
going to make doubly sure.
He's taking no chances.
Just in case the giant
might wake up.
[ Luana ] Oh!
left well enough alone.
Come back here!
Come back here!
[ Whistles ]
[ Squawking ]
[ Bergen ] And there goes the giant!
[ Yelping ]
He's helpless now,
tumbling over and over and over,
down, down, down, down.
[ Crash ]
And so with the passing
of the wicked giant,
Happy Valley echoed once again
with song and laughter.
For with the return
of the magic harp,
peace and prosperity
reigned throughout the land.
- And the people of the valley--
- We know.
[ Together] Lived happily ever after.
You're a wonderful storyteller,
Mr. Bergen. Isn't he, Charlie ?
Simply thrilling.
You're even better
than the old-fashioned sleeping pill.
- [ Bergen ] What's the matter,
Mortimer?
Oh, the poor giant got killed,
that he did. [ Crying ]
- I don't like them sad endings.
- Oh, now, you don't understand.
W-Willie was a nice
giant, he was.
He just got too big
for his britches.
- But you don't understand.
- No, don't touch me.
[ Sobbing ]
I'll be all right.
[ Blows Nose ]
Oh, excuse me.
What I'm trying to explain,
Mortimer, is that Willie
the Giant didn't actually exist.
- No ?
- No. He's a metaphysical phenomenon...
of your subconscious mind, a
phantasmagoria of your mental faculties.
- Yeah ?
- In other words,just a figment
of your imagination.
- No !
- Yes.
- So there's nothing to be upset about.
-[ Creaking ]
Hey ! Has anybody
seen anything...
of a teensy-weensy
little mouse ?
No. I-I-I, uh--
-[ Thud ]
-[ Luana ] Oh, Mr. Bergen!
Bergen, speak to me.
Speak to me.
What's the matter with him ?
Somethin' he ate ?
Uh, no. It's, uh--
It's a fig, uh, fig--
fig-a-mentation
of his imagination.
- No !
-[ Mortimer ] Yeah.
Well, uh,
good night, Willie.
Uh, don't slam
the roof.
You might wake
Mr. Bergen.
[ Laughs ]
*Now some folks
*And others say
that bears don't talk *
*And never fall in love *
*Happiness
Peace of mind *
*Believe in all
your dreams *
*And you will see *
* You'll be full of fun
and fancy *
*Free and full of fun *
*And fancy-free **
