I'm scared!
Don't lag behind!
Come on, Tylo!
Mother! We're back!
Oh, my goodness...
Where have you been?
Go wash yourself!
Look at you, you're soaking wet!
You're covered in mud!
I see you were not in a hurry to get
home.
But we ran all the way home!
Even across the bridge.
Oh, God!
- Go to bed now!
- I'm hungry!
You're having no supper tonight!
Go on, go to bed!
Hurry up!
Where are the children?
I sent them to bed.
To bed? So early?
- They misbehaved today.
- Misbehaved?
Yes. They went to the bridge.
And I have told them time and time
again never to cross that thing!
Little rascals!
They have gotten out of hand.
Children are all the same.
They keep forgetting.
Will you stop defending them!
Mytyl?
Tyltyl?
Are you asleep?
Are you?
How can I be asleep
when I'm talking to you?
You mustn't get up!
Mommy will be angry again.
What's all that?
I'm going down to look.
They're going to punish us, Tyltyl.
They won't if they don't hear us.
- Why are they making such a noise?
- They're musicians.
- Are they angry?
- No, it's just their work.
What's all that on the tables?
Cakes, and fruit and tarts...
- Are they going to eat them?
- What else would they do with them?
Why don't they eat them at once?
They're not hungry.
Not hungry? Strange people.
They eat whenever they want to.
- Every day?
- So I'm told.
Will they eat them all?
Perhaps they'll give some to us?
They don't know us.
Look, Tyltyl, they're eating them.
The girls have got two cakes each.
- The boys have got three!
- I've got twelve.
- I've got two times twelve.
- Give me some.
What's the matter?
We better go home.
We don't belong here.
It's cold.
Tyltyl, I'm cold.
So am I.
They're asleep. Come on.
Where is the bird
that is blue?
I must have it.
Give me the bird that is blue!
- Tyltyl has a bird.
- Yes, but I can't give it away.
- What? Why not?
- Because it's mine.
Well, that's a good reason, I suppose.
Where is this bird?
In the cage.
No, no, no...
It's not blue enough.
You must find me the one I want.
- We don't know where it is.
- No more do I!
That's why you must find it for me.
I must have the bluebird.
It's for a little girl
who's very ill.
What's the matter with her?
Well, we're not quite sure.
She wants to be happy.
Don't lose time, go at once!
- At once?
- Yes, why not?
We're supposed to be in bed.
In bed? Then what were you
doing outside?
Playing at eating cakes.
Where are these cakes?
Tell me, where are you hiding them?
I want cakes very much.
Where are they?
In the rich children's house.
And they invited you
to try their cakes?
No, we were just looking.
It was so beautiful over there...
No more beautiful over there than
here.
It's darker here and smaller.
And there aren't any cakes.
Of course, you just can't see!
I can even see the time
on the church clock from here.
But I tell you, you can't see!
Can you see me?
How do I look?
Well, answer me, young man.
Am I old or young?
Am I ugly or pretty?
Perhaps you can see so well that you
think I have a hump on my back?
It's a very small one.
You can hardly see it.
And my dress, do you see
how it glitters and shimmers?
Do you see all the precious
stones and jewels?
It's quite pretty, yes.
Quite pretty?
Is that all you can say?
There are some people who can't
see how beautiful it is.
But you're not like that, are you?
You're not blind and foolish.
Oh, no, I can see all that isn't
hidden.
Luckily, I always
carry with me the one thing
that can give new light
to human eyes.
Tyltyl!
Look how that thing is shining!
It's a big diamond
that makes people see.
You have to put that pretty
green hat on your head
and turn the diamond.
And at once the world will look
different. Your eyes will open!
But isn't it scary?
Maybe, a little bit'
but it's very interesting.
After turning the diamond'
you can even see
into the inside of things.
Yes, yes, inside of
most simple things.
You can see the soul of bread'
and of milk, and of water.
Can you see the soul of sugar, too?
Of course! The soul of sugar's no more
important than the soul of water.
This enchanted diamond, in which
a magic power is hidden'
will help you to find the Bluebird.
Take it, Tyltyl.
You can rely on it.
It will save you if youre in trouble.
Thank you.
Come on, try it.
Put it on.
And now...
Turn the diamond, Tyltyl.
Who are you?
I am the light that makes men see.
The world's all lapis lazuli.
The simplest wooden cabin's made
Of jasper, emerald and jade.
A table of plain, humdrum pine
Suddenly seems crystalline.
And all the simple caken chairs
Sparkle like huge solitaires.
Lift the veil, shake off the mist'
Mere brick and mortar's amethyst.
I am the light that makes men see
The radiance in reality.
Fancy, just one sparkling flash'
And I'm freed from a life
of smoke and ash!
Mytyl-yl-yl. Tyltyl-yl-yl.
Water flowing
At her own sweet will.
You, sir, have a certain flare, But
keep your distance, stay right there.
Stop!
Now watch!
With phewman form
And phewman sound
Finally finished
With loafing around!
Mytylk. Tytylk.
The silky soul
of spilt...
Milk.
How do you do. Bread is the name.
Man's oldest friend.
Man's oldest friend and most
faithful companion.
Without me, he'd be just a lump of
dough.
Without me, he'd be just a bag of
flour.
I'm man's oldest friend.
Water's kind to human beings.
What about those you drown?
Don't be ridiculous!
Tut, tut, tut...
And now, my dear child, this one's
for you. Yup!
Now I'm here, I'll make you all
Sweet and kind and cordial.
You must be Sugar.
Indeed I am, sweet child.
Have a candy.
Tyltyl.
Here, Tylo, have some candy.
Tylo!
My dear little master!
At last we can talk'
at last!
Tylo!
I'd bark and wag my tail'
but you never really understood.
I felt so miserable.
You can't even imagine.
But now I'm so happy!
So very happy!
Do you want me to stand on my front
paws, or dance on my hind legs?
Do stop making such a fool
of yourself, Tylo.
Good evening, everybody!
It's the soul of Tylette.
