It's now MY turn.
My name is Engywook. She's Urgl.
Ever heard of me?
I don't think so.
Oh. You don't move
in scientific circles.
I am the expert
on the Southern Oracle!
Oooh... you've come
to the right place, my boy!
There's no fool like an old fool.
Wait! Stay here.
The observatory!
To the winch, wench!
Come on, lazybones!
Can't you go any faster?!
I've been studying the mysteries
of the Southern Oracle for years.
Someday, I'll publish my book.
'A Century of Studying
the Southern Oracle'
by Professor Engywook.
Volume 1, 'The Early Years'.
Have you ever been
to the Southern Oracle?
Eh... what do YOU think?
I work scientifically!
Look!
Is that the Southern Oracle?
Oh, no!
It's the first of the two gates
you must pass through
before you reach the Southern Oracle
and get me the final information
for my book!
Of course, most people...
.. never get that far.
Why?
The sphinxes' eyes stay closed
until someone who does not
feel his own worth tries to pass by.
Here comes one that LOOKS fancy.
Let's see what he REALLY
thinks of himself.
Look. Look!
ENG YWOOK:
Hee! Hee!Go on, scaredy-cat!
Oh, go ON!
Oh, it's my turn. Let me see.
I'M the scientist!
He's going on.
The sphinxes' eyes -
are they open or shut?
Let me see!
They're shut.
No, wait! The eyes are opening!
Oh, no!
Did he make it? Did he?
No.
Fancy armor doesn't help.
The sphinxes can see
straight into your heart.
Listen, boy!
Next time, Let ME see what happens!
It's MY telescope!
I'm gonna try it.
No!
Don't go yet!
I've not told you about the next gate!
It's even WORSE than this one!
Atreyu!
Oh... he'll never make it!
He'll never make it!
Oh, no!
Don't start to doubt yourself!
Be confident!
Be confident! Be confident!
RUN, ATREYU! RUN!
RUN, ATREYU!
RUN! NOW!
He made it! He made it!
He made it!
He made it!
Arggh!
You could do with
He made it!
Atreyu! He made it
through the Sphinx Gate!
Oh, good!
But that's no reason for you
to fall out of the basket again.
Oh.
I knew he would be safe.
Nonsense!
You don't understand anything!
Next is the Magic Mirror Gate.
Atreyu has to face his true self!
So what?
That won't be too hard for him.
Oh!
That's what EVERYONE thinks.
But kind people
find that they are cruel.
Brave men discover
that they are really cowards!
Confronted with their true selves,
most men run away screaming!
This is going too far.
What if they...
in Fantasia?
The Southern Oracle?
WOMEN:
Do not be afraid.We will not harm you.
We have been waiting for you
a long time, Atreyu.
Are you the Southern Oracle?
Yes. We are.
Then you must know
what can save Fantasia!
Yes. We do.
Well, what is it?
I have to know!
A new name?
That's all?
But that's easy!
I can give her any name she wants!
No-one from Fantasia can do it.
Only a human child
can give her this new name.
A human child? Where can I find one?
You can only find one
beyond the boundaries of Fantasia.
If you want to save our world,
you must hurry!
We don't know how much longer
we can withstand the Nothing.
FALKOR!
Hurry, Falkor!
The Nothing's everywhere!
Don't worry.
We'll reach
the boundaries of Fantasia.
Do you know where they are?
I have NO idea.
Then how do we find a human child?
With luck!
Faster, Falkor. Faster!
We have to hurry!
Alright! Hang on tight!
Yeah!
Whoa!
Wahoo!
Wow! Whoa!
Yes!
What a shame they don't ask me.
My mother, she had
such a wonderful name.
"On and on they flew,
"until they reached
the Sea of Possibilities,
"where they could go no further. "
FALKOR:
Look, Atreyu. The Nothing!Hang on!
Falkor!
Atreyu! Atreyu!
Atreyu!
FALKOR!
Falkor!
Atreyu! Where are you?!
Atreyu!
Falkor!
Falkor.
Atreyu!
They look like big, good,
strong hands, don't they?
I always thought
that's what they were.
My Little friends.
The Little man with his racing snail.
The Night Hob.
Even the stupid bat.
I couldn't hold on to them.
right out of my hands.
I failed.
No, you didn't fail.
I'm the one who failed.
I was the one chosen
to stop the Nothing.
But I lost the AURYN.
I can't find my luck-dragon.
So I won't be able to get
beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!
Listen.
The Nothing will be here any minute.
I will just sit here
and Let it take me away too.
They look like good,
strong hands, don't they?
Mm-hm.
Morla?
Artax!
Artax!
If you come any closer...
.. I will rip you to shreds.
Who are you?
I am Gmork.
And you, whoever you are,
can have the honor of being
my last victim.
I will not die easily.
I am a warrior.
Ha!
Brave warrior.
Then fight the Nothing.
But I can't!
I can't get beyond
the boundaries of Fantasia.
Fantasia has no boundaries.
That's not true!
You're lying!
Foolish boy.
Don't you know anything
about Fantasia?
It's the world of human fantasy!
Every part,
every creature of it,
is a piece of the dreams
and hopes of mankind.
Therefore, it has no boundaries.
But why is Fantasia dying, then?
Because people have begun
to lose their hopes,
So the Nothing grows stronger.
What IS the Nothing?
It's the emptiness that's Left.
It is like a despair
destroying this world,
and I have been trying to help it.
But why?!
Because people who have no hopes
are easy to control.
And whoever has the control
has the power.
Who are you really?
I am the servant...
.. of the power behind the Nothing.
I was sent to kill the only one
who could have stopped the Nothing.
I lost him in the Swamps of Sadness.
His name... was Atreyu.
If we're
about to die anyway,
I'd rather die fighting!
Come for me, Gmork!
I am Atreyu!
Falkor!
Falkor!
Atreyu!
Got you!
"That was the end of Fantasia.
"Only a few fragments
of this once rich and beautiful world
"had been Left by the Nothing. "
ATREYU:
Good old Falkor.Can you see anything?
Anything at all?
No.
All the Land is gone.
I know.
And all because I failed.
You tried.
Do you suppose the Ivory Tower
is still standing?
Let's hope so, Atreyu.
Let's hope so.
If the Ivory Tower still stands,
take us there.
Falkor!
The Ivory Tower!
The Empress.
Go on.
Atreyu.
Why do you look so sad?
I failed you, Empress.
No, you haven't.
You brought him with you.
Who?
The earthling child.
The one who can save us all.
You knew about the earthling child?
Of course. I knew everything.
My horse died. I nearly drown.
I just barely got away
from the Nothing!
For what? To find out
what you already knew?!
It was the only way
to get in touch with an earthling.
But I DIDN'T get in touch
with an earthling!
Yes, you did.
He has suffered with you.
He went through
everything you went through.
And now he has come here with you.
