Reward?

Are you sure?

I'll show you.

Come on!

You guys okay?

Uh, I think so.

But the service aboard this ship

leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh, I had an awful dream.

There was this big storm and we

went overboard and then we...

Aaaah!

It wasn't a dream!

What do you guys think?

Not too bad, huh?

Hey, out there!

Is everyone all right?

Yup!

What are you doing?

What does it look like

we're doing?

We're floating.

That's what tub toys do.

Don't you want to get back

to the ship?

Why?

We're finally free!

Free to float away

on the ocean waves!

But...

Who knows where the waves

are going to take you?

Yeah.

Who knows?

Maybe it'll be

a tropical island,

With coconuts and palm trees!

What's wrong with you guys?

Don't you want to find a kid

who'll take you home

And play with you?

Why settle for a kid's bathtub

when you can have a whole ocean?

They might be right, lucky.

Maybe it's better

to just sit back

And let the ocean waves

take us where they will.

But... but...

Where's my spf 900?

I need to work on my tan.

Well, I don't want to go

anywhere.

I just want to stay in here,

where it's safe.

Look, just because we're reje...

I mean, different...

Doesn't mean we should give up.

We've got to find a kid!

Ha!

A squeakless duck,

A scaredy-cat turtle

who can't squirt,

And a stuck-up hippo with

two different color eyes?

Hey!

No offense.

But what kid's going to want us?

I know there's a kid

out there for me,

And I'm gonna find him!

If we follow the ship's trail,

we might just catch up to it!

And if we can get back

to the ship,

It'll take us to dry land,

Where we can all find a home...

Somewhere.

What are you gonna paddle with?

Your face?

Ha ha ha.

Well, why not?

Hmm.

I'm ready!

Hmmm, sorry, danny,

But it could get rough out there

with these storms around.

But I really wanna be

your first mate!

Look, danny.

This is an important

salvage job.

A reward like that could pay

for the repairs we need

On the finders keepers.

But dad, I promise

I won't touch anything.

Oh, ah, whoa!

I'm sorry, son.

I know you'll make a fine

first mate some day,

But today is not that day.

Now, head over to your

grandmother's house

And tell her I'll be back

before supper to get you.

Ah! My charts!

Huh?

Hmm.

Okay, phew!

It won't be long now.

Not getting very far, duck!

Look, why don't you forget about this

"finding a kid" stuff,

And just chill

like the rest of us?

I'm not like the rest of you,

Or so you keep telling me.

What about you two oddballs huh?

Hmph!

I suppose you're going along

with the silly duck's plan?

Do you want to float around

with those guys

And wait for something

to happen?

Or do you want to come with me

and make it happen?

Waiting is not my strong suit.

I'm going with the duck!

Okay.

Let me get this straight.

You want me to float away on

an ocean full of killer whales,

Barracudas, electric eels,

manta rays,

Hammerheads, octopuses...

Octopi.

Right, those too.

No, thank you.

I'll take my chances

with the rubber duck.

Suit yourselves.

Good luck with that!

Hmm.

Um, what is the plan, anyway?

Sinking, by the look of it.

What?!

We're sinking?

Help!

I need a floatation device!

Get off!

You are a floatation device.

Oh!

Huh?

Catch!

Maybe we can hitch a ride.

Hey! Hey you!

Could I just...

Hold it!!!

Do you wanna do something

really fun?

What is it?

Tell us!

Tell us!

What is it?

Chasing a ship!

Oooh!

We love chasing ships!

They're so...

Shippy!

If you give us a ride,

we'll show you where one is.

Yes!

Yes!

Show us!

Show us!

Follow that trail

and it'll lead you right to it.

A ride?

On the back of a dolphin?

It'll be fine.

Just do what I do.

Hey!

Wow! Neat trick!

Whoa!

How can I stick to a dolphin?

Where's the glue?

I don't get it.

This makes no sense.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Hey, I'm stuck!

Exactly.

Relax and enjoy the ride.

I'm relaxed.

You gotta roll with it!

You gotta dive!

You gotta roll with it!

And take a ride!

You gotta roll with it!

You gotta dive!

What? Whoa!

You gotta roll with it!

You gotta dive!

You gotta roll with it!

And take a ride!

No roll!

Whoa!

Cut it out!

Ahhh!

Yay!

You gotta roll with it!

And take a ride!

Wahoo!

I'm king of the duckies!

Boo!

Aaah!

That never gets old.

Oh, look!

It's the ship!

It won't be long now

before we find our kid!

Uh, why are you stopping?

Ooh!

What is it?

Ooh!

Look at that!

Shiny!

Shiny!

Ah, whoa!

Wait! Wait!

Hold on!

I thought we were chasing

the ship?

Shiny!

Oh, that's just a buoy!

There's nothing fun

about a buoy at all.

Oh, buoy.

Hmm, what is that?

Could be onto something here.

Ah...

Ah-choo!

What in the world... danny?

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry, dad, I just

really wanted to come.

So, you went and stowed away?

I promise I won't cause

any problems.

You already have.

Whatever that was, I lost it.

I didn't mean to be any trouble.

I know, son.

I'm just worried about you.

It can be dangerous out here.

And it's too late to turn back.

So, does that mean I can stay?

It looks like you'll have to.

Oh, yes!

Can I be first mate?

Pay attention, do your job,

And you might make first mate,

some day.

Aye-aye, sir!

Help! Anybody!

We're gonna be marooned here

for the rest of our lives!

You know, this might not be

such a bad place

To spend the rest of our lives.

It's got music...

And the lighting makes me look

gorgeous, don't you think?

We can't stay here.

We're supposed to find kids

who'll play with us.

But that ship

is long gone by now.

Then, we'll just have to get to

dry land by ourselves somehow.

If we can get to land,

there are bound to be kids,

And swimming pools,

and fountains, and bubble baths.

Mmm, bubble baths!

Nice thought,

But it doesn't change the fact

that we're stuck here!

We'll get out of here.

There's got to be a way.

How?

Do you think help is just

going to fall out of the sky?

Oh, sorry 'bout that!

Whoa!

Didn't see ya down there.

Aaah!

Hey! Watch it, pal!

Aaah!

Hmm, looks like this buoy ain't

big enough for all of us.

Aaah!

Leave him alone!

Listen, we've already been

kicked out of our crate,

Blown off our ship by a storm,

Stranded in the middle

of the ocean,

Stuck to the backs

of some dippy dolphins,

And abandoned on this

overcrowded buoy!

We've had kind of a rough day,

So we'd appreciate it

if you'd just...

Give us a break!!!

All right, okay!

Sheesh!

Why didn't ya say so?

We'd be happy to help,

right, boys?

Name's wingo,

leader of the thunderbeaks!
