- We will set off in the morning.

The journey is perilous.

We must cross through the-

The Valley of Very Bad Things.

It is a land of untold danger,

agony and torture...

not to mention avian urk flu,

death spouts...

mad florg disease,

the Cave of the Flesh-Devouring Beast...

and the Dark Cloud of Id

from which no one escapes unchanged!

Sleep. You'll need your rest.

I could use a little shut-eye.

Stay on your side of the planet.

You Earthlings

have a funny way of showing love.

We do, don't we?

Night, honey.

Up wake, up wake.

- Well, that was refreshing.

We were asleep for, like-

- Five seconds.

Yep. Just one of the benefits

of living on a planet with three suns.

Huh. Follow me.

Listen and learn, "Zelig."

The P.R. 5-13I is a high-performance,

all-purpose space exploration vehicle.

Rough, rugged and ready...

the engineers have outfitted her

with defense systems for every situation.

- And the 60 million kilowatt

internal nuclear power plant...

guarantees she's always got enough juice

to get the tough jobs done.

- Ready to take her for a spin?

- Yes! My thoughts exactly.

Whoa!

Oh, the waiting is just mind-numbing.

Well, I really need a Snicker's bar.

I don't know about you.

I'm allergic to peanuts.

Wow. This is even better

than circus peanuts.

I still can't believe the grandson

of the great Ham is a clown.

- Hey, I like what I do.

- Don't you wanna be a hero?

You mean like a sandwich?

I wish I could have welcomed you

with fruit from our village...

but Zartog had it all destroyed.

We're sorry, Kilowatt.

Why would you build

a machine like that?

- We didn't. The humans did.

- What are humans?

They're like us. Well, 99.9% like us.

But it's the.01

that makes them own everything.

- Don't!

- But they're big gumdrops.

That is not food.

That is a glophopper.

Guys, is it just me, or is that

a really handsome pile of glophoppers?

Hmm. Hey, check this out.

Whoo!

Why any life-form

would want to mimic you...

is one of the unsolved mysteries

of the universe.

- Come on. Bust out the scissors.

This rug ain't gonna cut itself.

- Ham.

I've never danced before.

Oh, okay.

So we'll take baby steps.

Gimme your arm.

There you go.

Not too shabby. You're a natural.

I am? Really?

Are you kiddin' me? Absolutely.

Whee!

I am poppin' as well as lockin'.

Now the bus stop, robot, King Tut-

Rump dart.

Fluvians! Run for it.

Ham, we can't outrun them!

Man, I love these dudes. Come on!

They don't call me

the "Hamster" for nothing.

You know, 'cause, like, my name is Ham

and I'm running in a wheel.

- Never mind.

- Ah! Whoa! Ow! Ow! Ahh.

Get 'em!

Oh, no! Pull up! Pull up!

Yes!

Whoa!

Ow!

We really gotta work on stopping.

No, no, wait. Don't leave, gumdrop people.

Your stopping skills are great!

They are afraid. It is the Cave

of the Flesh-Devouring Beast.

What is with this planet?

Would it kill you to have

a Cave of Cute Little Kittens?

Ham, we got to finish this mission.

We only have 12 hours

till the ship takes off.

Through the cave

is the only way to your ship.

Run!

Hurry, Luna!

I want this party to be remembered forever.

Beyond anything Malgor has ever seen.

You'll need streamers.

Nothin' screams "festive" like streamers.

I love 'em. Oh, and, uh, some, uh,

goody bags for when your guests leave.

It's a fun, simple way to say,

"Thanks for comin'."

Splork, grab a pad.

- Uh-

- Maybe we'll get lucky...

and this beast will only devour

our flesh with his eyes.

Ham?

Or not!

Ooh! We have to find the exit.

- Aah! Ham!

- Luna!

Help! Aah!

- This way! It's too narrow

for him to get through!

- Help!

- Faster! It's gaining on us!

Oh! Whoa!

Dead end! Oh, no!

Come on!

- Aah!

- Whoa.

- Kilowatt, turn yourself off!

- Cannot. Too scared.

But if we can't get out of here, we're dead!

- That is not helping.

- Okay, here's a trick.

To control your fear,

imagine what you're most afraid of...

and then imagine overcoming it.

- Quick, Ham! It's breaking free!

- Come on. You can do it, Kilowatt.

- Be brave.

- Okay. Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Control your fear.

Wow. It works.

The exit!

Let's go!

- It's blocking the way out.

- We're trapped.

I have been scared my entire life,

but you showed me how to control it.

Kilowatt, no!

What are you doing?

- What I must.

- Kilowatt.

If you swallow me,

I will only grow stronger.

- Kilowatt! No!

- Ham! Hurry.

Why did she do that?

Oh, so stupid... and brave.

That was the bravest thing I've ever seen.

- Whoa. Where are we?

- Whoa.

This must be the Dark Cloud of Id.

Oh, it's making me

feel weird... and depressed.

I shouldn't even be here.

I'm just a low-rent circus chimp.

- How does that make you feel?

- Like a stupid pet trick.

Which is all I am- a joke!

I could be replaced by a cannonball.

Oh, man. Delirium, cryin', sobbin'.

They're runnin' out of oxygen!

- Come on, sport. Gotta get through.

- I'm almost there.

I'm not even a good chimp.

I've never once said thank you to Houston.

- He's like a father to me.

- Oh, Ham.

All my life I've been living

in my famous grandpa's shadow.

How does that make you feel?

You know what it's like

to live in a shadow?

It's cold.

I knew I could never become a hero...

so I became a clown.

I think you've had

a breakthrough. I'm afraid your time is up.

Here goes.

With this much power,

they'll hear us for sure.

Oh, Lord.

- Ham-

- You know all that back there,

it was just the cloud talking. So-

It's okay. Sometimes the conflict

between the superego and the id...

can cast a long shadow in the soul.

I have no idea what you just said.

I'm gonna walk this way now.

Pathetic groveling slaves of Malgor...

welcome to Triple Sunday!

Soon the suns will align

and the volcano will explode.

And a lot of you are not going to live.

Ahem! That's your cue.

# Do you wanna rock

Do you wanna rock #

# Do you wanna rock right now #

Now we party my way.

# Do you wanna rock

Do you wanna rock right now ## Yeah!

Dance or dunk.

- You.

- Who?

- You're not dancing.

- Yes, I am.

- No, that's more of a shuffle.

- Nope, a dance.

- Shuffle!

- Dance!

Shuffle!

- Shuffle.

- Okay. Shuffle.

Whoa.

That's like the second biggest

evil lair I've ever seen.

And I've seen two.

Hey, there's the ship.

And there's the rover!

Now it is my thrill

to present the main attraction.

The monkey who showed me the way.

Here's Titan!

- Oh, my gosh. Titan!

- Oh, my gosh. And he's not asleep.

Oh, if we just had our rocket packs,

we could rescue Titan from the air.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- Uh, we're not paid to think.

As a matter of fact, we're not paid at all.

Think about that!

Uh, wait.

Chimps don't leave chimps behind.

Luna.

I hear ya. I hear ya. I do.

But here's what I have to say about it.

Let's leave him.
