Let me steer! I have

a video game just like this!

[JOE]

Looks like we've got company!

[GASPS]

[GROWLS]

[NICOLE]

Why are those lions chasing us?

[PETER] I don't know.

This doesn't happen

in the real story.

Must be part of the mix-up.

[GASPS]

[GROWLS]

[NICOLE]

Whoa! Hey!

I thought you said you had

a video game like this!

[ARISTOTLE] Yeah, but I didn't

say I was good at it!

[SCREAMING]

[BARKING]

[PROFITEROLE] Houston, no!

Hiya!

I got you.

Aah!

Brace yourselves!

[PETER] Can't you get

this thing any higher?

[KENNEDY]

Yes. We're way too low.

We should find something

to cut loose!

[PROFITEROLE] Did I hear

someone say, "cut loose?"

Well then I'm your man!

[FARTS]

Take that!

[ARISTOTLE]

The lions are throwing us off balance!

[PETER]

We're spinning out of control.

[NICOLE] Hang on, everyone.

[JOE]

We are almost touching ground!

[GASPS]

Those lions are relentless.

We have got to gain altitude!

It's now or never!

I'm trying.

But the wheel is stuck!

[PROFITEROLE] Why couldn't

Jules Verne just imagine

soft, cuddly p*ssy cats

instead?

[NICOLE]

We were almost their dinner.

[PETER] We can help bring doctor

Ferguson back, I promise.

Please trust us

and lower your weapons

so we can all work together.

You had better be

telling us the truth!

Where do you want us

to take you?

[PASCAL OVER EARPIECE]

To the temple of Onoffon.

He's sayin' we should go

to the temple of Onoffon.

In the village

of the Munchi Munchi tribe.

[LAUGHS]

The Munchi Munchi!

That's the name of the tribe

that we're supposed to go see.

Why do you think

they call themselves that?

It's an onomatopoeia.

Oh, so they're Japanese!

No, it means the word

and the sound are the same.

Like the buzz of a bee,

or the tick-took of a clock.

So like the word burp.

[CHUCKLES]

Check it.

[BURPS]

Profiterole! "Munchi Munchi"

is the sound this tribe makes

while they're eating.

Which means that

there's Avery good chance

that they're cannibals.

That's cool.

Everyone has the right to be

what they wanna be

when they grow up, right?

Cannibalism is not a profession.

Unfortunately it means

they eat people, like us!

They eat their enemies.

Profiterole.

You might be the main course

on the Munchi-Munchi's menu.

Knock it off.

There's an equal chance

that the Munchi-Munchi

are vegetarians.

Don't be so sure!

If they are cannibals.

They will likely go after

the one of us

who is most meaty and tender.

[FARTS] Profiterole!

[JOE]

Oh, for the love of Vishnu!

Excuse me.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Blech!

That's bloody awful!

Ugh.

I do finally believe

that the four of you

are indeed

from another realm entirely.

There's nothing in our world

that stinks like that! Ooh.

Profiterole, drop the anchor

onto something soft.

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETS]

Uh oh. Well, it was

something soft anyway.

Steady. You're all mine.

No! Elephants

are an endangered species!

Are you out of your mind?

If we don't stop this beast.

It's going to cause us to crash!

But we caused

this situation, not him.

You have no right to shoot down

an innocent animal.

Gotta do something, Nicole!

If this balloon bursts.

We won't make it

to the temple of Onoffon!

Ok! I'm going down.

Using a gun is never

a good way to solve a problem.

Nicole!

Nicole, why are you

all the way over here?

I... I wanted to be alone.

Oh, I'm sorry. You were

really brave back there.

The elephant needed me.

Nowadays we get so wrapped up

in our own problems

that we forget

to take care of each other.

Guess what.

Not everyone forgets!

You are really so sweet.

I mean the fruit is sweet.

I mean the gesture is...

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

Your gesture

is so sweet, Peter.

I really like

talking to you, Nicole.

I really like talking

to you too.

Hmm.

Torpedo,

find an observation site.

Go look for the lair

of some animal.

When they're asleep,

destroy their balloon,

and that will be the end

of their expedition!

Okay boss, I can do that.

But I got one question.

Just, what the heck is a lair?

Oh, you big brainless fool!

Go find a hole, an orifice.

A burrow, whatever!

Hey Aristotle.

You gotta eat something.

This shish kabob stuff

is the greatest thing ever!

Not right now. I'm mapping out

our route for tomorrow.

Well your loss is my gain.

And boy do I mean gain!

I could chow down on this

all night long.

'Cause it's the perfect blend of

sweet and salty and tangy and spicy.

[GULPS]

It's got all the flavors I love.

Hey Joe, what do you call

this delicious thing you made?

It's so good!

It's an old family recipe.

Worms on a stick.

[GULPS] Did you say worms?

Yes, and I add

my secret blend of spiders,

ants, and insects

to make it finger-licking good.

How could you possibly

do something like that to me?

You know I have

a nervous stomach.

And an irritable colon.

And chronic diarrhea.

Part-time constipation.

An inflated esophagus.

And ridiculous gas!

Better hide in my lair.

You can't serve me worms.

It compromises

my entire system.

That's why I'm in this story!

[LOUD DEFECATION]

Aah!

Oh no, not again! Aah!

[LOUD DEFECATION]

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETS]

[SIGHS]

Oh!

[SIGHS]

[GIGGLES]

[HOOFS TRAMPLING]

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[GRUNTING]

Oh!

What was that?

Ah, marauders!

Gotta get a move on Ellie.

Faster!

We have to catch up with Nicole

and get her back

into the balloon.

Yes, but that's easier said

than done.

This balloon is much too heavy.

We'll never get enough speed

to catch her before they do.

Charge! Yah!

Lets get them!

We've gotta do something!

They're getting closer!

Come on, help me

lighten up our load!

Hyah-ah-oh!

Smarts!

[GRUNTS, SIGHS]

Hey!

And yah! Yah.

And what about this clock?

Now you won't be late!

They are still coming, and we

have nothing left to throw.

[BARKS] Houston!

Wha... oh, hey!

Flying dog!

Ooh... wha? How?

[CHATTERING IN FRUSTRATION]

[BARKING, GROWLING]

Huh! Go on without me!

That way you'll be lighter!

I'll just convert my suit

into a flying one!

Profiterole!

Stop, don't jump!

These suits aren't able to fly!

Now you tell me!

Uh... hee...

[GIGGLES]

Aah.

[MEN CHATTERING]

[HORSES WHINNYING]

Nicole!

Peter?

Give me

your hands. Hurry!

Ehh!

[GROANING]

[SIGHS]

[ALSO SIGHS]

We've got to go on

with the mission.

That almost gave

a heart attack!

I knew they'd get

through that okay.

But me, in my case.

I'm not so sure.

Poor profiterole.

Do you think he's okay?

He'll be all right.

I've got to hand it to him,

he's one tough.

Brave little guy.

Pascal? Pascal!

Can you see profiterole?

[PASCAL]

We only have one camera.

It's true. Parliament would

only approve ze budget

that allows us the one camera.

Politicians. Of course.

There is only one way

for you to help profiterole.

You must hit restart

in this story,

and then join up with him

in the next one.

Well, it looks like

we are on the right route.

There's the Dezmontoza river.

I saw that on my map.

In the tree of giant snakes!
