Yeah, you're in the city now.

Ahh!

Oh! Oh! Ah!

Oh! Oh! Oof.

Huh?

I told you to stay

out of the city.

You didn't listen.

Now, you gonna pay.

I came to talk to you.

Get rid of him.

What's the problem?

You too cute

to face me yourself'?

"Cute"?

Never call me cute!

Yeah, yeah. Never call

you cute, I heard you.

But guess what?

You are cute,

and no matter how many

times you kick me... Ahh!

Or punch me... Ahh!

It's not gonna change

the fact that you're cute.

You're an animal,

and all animals are cute.

Well, with the exception

of the platypus.

Those things are rough.

Why are you here?

I need your help

to take back the park.

I don't care about your park.

I used to live in the park.

We all did.

We were peaceful and hawk

but people called us vermin.

They forced us out.

They turned our home

into a gob' course.

We hid in the city

and vowed to transform

from cute and peaceful

to armed and dangerous.

We trained with the kung fu

masters of the Shaoiin Temple.

We grew strong

and made sure our home

would never be in danger again.

Now I'm a city mouse,

and I hate parks.

Ahh! Oof.

There's no such thing as a

city mouse or a park mouse.

We're all animals,

and we need to look out

for each other.

Don't you see?

They're doing the same thing

to us that they did to you.

This is your chance

to do the right thing.

Enough!

You might as well do it

because if you don't help me

save my friends,

I got nothing to live for.

Mmm.

Is everyone here?

Everyone but Surly.

What happened to Surly?

He's probably got

those animal control creeps

right where he wants 'em.

You're not gonna like

where you're going.

What's going on?

Where are they taking us?

We're all gonna die.

Definitely gonna die.

Stop!

Hello, road kill!

Now!

Charge!

Surly?

Before you get mad,

just remember, you're the one

who wanted a crazy plan.

I'd like you to meet

my new friend, Mr. Feng.

Oh, he's so cute!

Ahh!

That reminds me,

don't call him cute.

How did you convince a gang

of city mice to come help us?

We are not city mice.

We are just mice.

A long time ago,

Mr. Feng and his friends

were chased out

of their homes, too.

Nobody was there

to stand up for us,

and we lost everything.

But Surly is right.

We are all animals,

and we are in this together.

Individually, we might be tiny,

but together, we're giants.

For the park!

For the park!

For the park!

Hey! How's it going?

What the... Help! Ahh!

There's so many of them!

Lift!

Wow, that was close!

Dig, dig, dig! Run!

All right, Buddy!

Let 'er rip!

Yeah, Buddy!

That is what I'm talkin' about!

Hey, guys!

The swarm went over... Whoa!

Popcorn! Popcorn!

Ahh!

Oh!

Hey, Frankie.

I thought I'd stop by,

see how you're doing.

I'm fine.

I also wanted to say

that I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

I'm used to people

treatin' me bad.

Hey, nobody deserves

to live like that.

You know, you don't need to

pretend to like me anymore.

Hey. I'm not pretendin'.

Then Why'd you run out on me?

I don't regret

runnin' away, all right'?

I regret not taking you with me.

You looked out for me.

You're a good guy

with a good heart.

That's not somethin'

I'm gonna walk away from.

Why should I trust you?

What are you doing?

I'm tryin' to regurgitate

somethin' for you.

Sorry...

I haven't eaten in a while.

Oh, babe!

You'd do that for me?

Like you said,

together, we're Frecious.

Knock them out.

With pleasure.

Now!

Look out!

No, no, no! Precious!

I'm fine!

It only hit my collar.

This is crazy!

You literally

took a bullet for me.

That's, like, true love!

I guess it is!

Take the shot!

Bye-bye, little doggies!

What are you doing?

They're getting away!

Ow! The tiny teeth

are so sharp!

Do I have to do

everything myself?

Ooh!

Stop touching me!

What do you have against me?

Not so defenseless now, are we?

Andie, turn him this way!

Buddy, fire!

Nice shot!

You shot me with a dart?

Uh-oh... um good.

Ooh... I don't feel so good.

Hello, doggies!

Heather, sit!

Whoa.

Play dead!

Man, I'm good at this.

I should get a dog.

It's coming right for us!

Take cover!

Whoa!

Hey! Stop! Wait!

Put me down!

Stand up!

All together!

Right, left! Right, left!

Whoa! Dwayne, are you okay'?

Hiyah!

Get him!

Flying fist!

Look out!

Get down!

Yeah! Ha-ha!

Don't mess with the little guy.

I'm not gettin'

paid enough for this!

Go, go!

Stop! Stop! I order you!

Stop right there!

Ahh!

Please accept

my formal resignation.

Hmm?

Oh...

That is a lot of sugar

for a little guy.

No! No!

Yikes!

That has got to be

a safety violation.

Whoever's in charge of this

place is going to jail.

Ooh, I would hate

to be that guy.

Ha!

So long, suckers!

I hear Canada is nice

this time of year.

You're not getting away

that easy.

TH-ta!

Huh?

Oof!

He's getting away!

Buddy, we don't have time

for rides!

Please keep your arms

and legs inside the ride at all times.

If an arm or leg

becomes detached,

you can pick it up

at the Lost and Found,

and remember, no refunds!

The balloon!

Buddy, you're a genius.

Maybe we should put

the safety bar down.

Safety bars are overrated.

Humans actually like this?

It's too far!

We're not gonna make it!

Good idea, Buddy.

We only got one shot at this.

Here we go!

Here we go!

Three! Two! One!

Now!

Oh, I'm gonna mount

your head on my wall!

Time to take down

this sack of hot air.

I should've exterminated you

when I had the chance.

All right, time to take down

this sack of hot air.

You destroyed Libertyland,

and now you're gonna die!

Ahh! Ahh!

Get off! Get off me!

Ah!

It's times like this

I wish I had rabies.

Get off! Get off!

Where is he?

Where'd he go'?

Howdy.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Surly!

Andie!

My taxidermist is

gonna have quite the job

putting you back together again.

What! What in the...

This one's for Buddy!

Whoa!

- I'm okay!

- Attack!

Stop! Help! Help!

I'm not okay!

Help!

You mess with one of us,

you mess with all of us!

Wow, those guys are hungry!

Use your teeth, fellas!

Get in there!

Mr. Mayor,

you're coming with me.

Oh!

Sarge, we're gonna

take this into evidence.

Code seven.

Copy that, rookie.

Get your hands off of me!

Do you know who I am'?

You, sir, are going to jail

for a long time!

Help! I can't go to jail,

I'm rich!

Get your hands off me!

Do you know who I am?

Ahh!

You.

You shot me with a dart!

Please, please!

Let me explain!

Help! Somebody call

the police!

Her tiny teeth are so sharp!

Ah! Ow!

This amusement park is closed!

- Surly!

- Way to go, Surly!

Hey, where's Andie?

Whoa-hem!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Way to go, Andie!

Yay, Andie!

Whoa!

You go, Andie!

Way to go, guys!

We did it!

Ugh, Buddy!

Ugh, Precious, no licking!

We talked about this.

Ugh, come on, man.

We just met.

Oh, ugh!

Great. Two slobber monsters.

The mayor is gone!

The rides are destroyed!

We're all gonna...

Live!

It took a lot of clean
