Have a good day. Bye-bye.

Whoa!

Oh!

Oof! Ow! Come on, man.

Silly doggy.

Your new home is this way.

Help!

I'm not a rescue!

I need to be rescued!

Run, doggies, run!

Oh! Ow!

Whoa!

Are you okay?

Your owner is deranged.

Yeah.

She's got a screw loose,

that's for sure.

Who wants to eat today?

Oh, come on.

She's gonna feed us.

I make it a rule to never

take food from psychos.

But I'm starving.

Frankie, sit!

Stand on your hind legs!

Stand on one foot!

What are you, a circus dog?

I could be. You got a

thing for circus dogs?

Play dead!

Ah! Ah! I'm hit. I'm hit.

Ah! Oh!

Ah! You got me. Ooh!

Ah! You got me.

Man, that is dark.

Good boy.

Life is easy when you do

exactly what you're told.

Now, it's your turn.

Roll over.

I said, "roll over!"

What are you doin'?

Roll over!

L don't know how.

I'm not classically trained.

Oh, boy.

This ain't gonna be good.

You better learn

to do some tricks,

or you're gonna be hungry!

We've gotta find the mayor's

house and get Precious back.

Who you wavin' to?

Oh.

No time to make

new friends, Buddy.

Come on. This looks

like a shortcut.

Oh, don't tell me you're scared.

Everyone knows there's nothing

safer than a dark alley.

Come on. Ahh!

Just a lovable

little dolly. Oh!

Well, that's shoddy workmanship.

Dead end. Oh, no.

This is bad.

I'm too young to die.

I'm too furry to die.

It's been nice

knowing you, Buddy.

Oh, phew!

I thought we were in real

trouble there for a second.

You scared us,

you cute little guy.

Boop.

I shouldn't have booped

his cute little nose.

Don't call me cute!

The boop was too much.

This is my city.

You are on my turf.

How can someone

so cute be so violent?

Ow!

I said, don't call me cute!

Got it.

My name is Mr. Feng.

I was cursed with these big, adorable

eyes, and this fuzzy little body,

but make no mistake...

I'm a weapon

of mouse destruction.

Witness the power of my

one-sixteenth-of-an-inch punch.

Aw, that's cute.

And painfully efficient.

The city is no place

for park animals.

My army is unstoppable,

each mouse more deadly

than the last.

If you're telling me

that the first mouse

is the least deadly,

I'd like to speak with him.

Any last words?

Yeah, just one.

Cat!

Huh?

Everybody run!

Come on, Buddy!

There's no cat.

Get them!

You were right!

No more dark alleys!

Oof!

Taxi!

No! Buddy!

- Run!

- Get the rat!

Give me your hand, Buddy.

I got you.

Come on, jump!

If you ever come

back to the city, you're dead!

See you later,

you cutie patootie!

Wow, that sounded tougher

in my head.

Hurry up. The new park

is right over that wall.

What is taking them so long?

Come on!

Whoa, whoa. We were just doing

what the sign said. Oh, oh!

It's as pretty as a picture.

A picture of a beautiful park.

It's perfect.

Yeah, you're right.

It's not bad.

Whoa!

Out of my way!

No way! Me first!

How good is this?

And we've got the place

to ourselves.

Hello?

Everyone's gonna love it.

Mole can dig a new hole

right over there.

The chipmunks can live

in that beautiful old tree.

Gradually hollowing it out

until it stops living.

This park has

everything we need.

This park's our home

What is it?

Beats me.

Looks delicious.

It's stuck.

Get it out! Get it out!

At this point, I'm tempted

to let natural selection

take its course.

Get it out!

That thing stole my ball!

You gotta play it as it lays!

That's a stroke!

That's a stroke! I'm

counting all these, Barry!

Spit that thing out.

I'm trying!

I'm trying!

Look out!

It came out.

Run that thing over!

Look out!

Whoa!

Nice park, Andie!

This place is great!

Buddy, look.

It's the mayor's car.

Hang on, Precious. We're

coming for you.

Mailbox.

Good lookin' out, Buddy.

So many mailboxes.

Come on down, Buddy.

I got you.

Were you aiming for my face'?

This is gonna be

a stealth mission, so shh!

Don't say a word.

That shouldn't be

a problem for you.

Okay, that's a little creepy.

Buddy, check this out.

I call that one

"The Flying Squirrel."

Oh, I'm gonna kill you!

You kept me on hold

for 10 minutes!

Anyhoo, the roller coaster

was delivered today.

We got a great deal on a

used one that was condemned.

Ah, safety, shmafety. I want

profitability.

My name's Emma,

and this is my sister Maddie.

Can we come in and play?

No way! You have no bodies!

Our castle is

for body-people only.

Fine.

We'll use our piranha teeth

and chew our way in.

So this is what they mean when they

say, "There were warning signs-"

Yeah. You sleep better

if you don't watch.

Hey, what's wrong?

You hungry, babe'?

Starving. ls she ever

gonna feed me?

Hard to say, but don't worry.

Frankie's got you covered.

Dinner is served.

You want me to eat your barf?

That is revolting!

Revolting? Nah, girl.

Regurgitation.

There's a big difference.

Whatever it's called,

it looks nasty. Hmm.

Sorry, sweetie. I was just

trying to do something nice.

I didn't mean

to gross you out or nothin'.

Hmm. No sense in

lettin' this go to waste.

Oh, no!

Well, no sense lettin'

that go to waste either.

It's amazing how quickly

rock bottom sneaks up on you.

Psst! Precious.

What are you, vegan?

This has no taste.

Hey, Frankie,

what's that behind you?

Huh?

You wanna see me

catch it, don't you?

Hey, get back here.

Get back here, you.

Help. Help.

They're eating everyone.

I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! This ain't

gonna be good for you.

This ain't gonna be good for you.

Shh!

I'm gonna catch you.

I'm gonna catch you.

Come on. Get back here.

Come on. Get back here.

Hey!

What's going on?

Sorry, Frankie.

You're not really my type.

I was just pretending to

like you to save my friends.

Pretending?

But together, we're Frecious.

Come on.

Hop on!

Come on, move it!

I'm a pug.

I'm not built for speed.

Or power, or looks.

She's shootin' at us!

Giddy up! Yee-haw!

Ride, ride, ride!

Stop kickin' me!

I'm not a horse!

Good idea, Buddy.

Watch the rear.

When I catch you,

your heads are

going on the wall!

I don't think

that's an empty threat!

Hang on!

This is the worst rescue

of all time!

Daddy!

What's all this ruckus?

Hey, now! Ahh!

Whoa!

Gotcha!

Stop, stop!

Throw this puppy in reverse!

Get back here!

Bottoms up!

- Toodle-oo!

- No!

Yee-haw!

Ow!

Daddy, they're getting away!

Hold up.

There's something I gotta do.

Come on, we gotta go.

Buddy, you worry too much.

Well, well, well.

We meet again.

Little Mayor!

It's squirrel season.

Wha...

- Ha! ls that all you got?

- Buddy.

Buddy, no!

You got one.

Buddy!

No!

And stay out!

Andie...

It's Buddy.

Oh, no. What happened?

He's hurt real bad.

Here, let me help you.

Oh, his chest is movin'.

That means he's breathin'.

That's gotta be good, right?

It's all my fault.

If I hadn't been so reckless,

he'd still be okay.

Let me get this straight.

Liberty Park is destroyed,

the backup park was a bust,
