Wombats away!

Ah ha ha!

He he he he ... ah ahh!

Holy doley.

Watch your step

in the Bongle Bongles.

It could be your last.

Over here!

We need to cross the ravine

or the journey ends here.

Well that's a beautiful jump.

Even for me.

No need to jump.

When you got a bridge.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

That can't be safe.

Well, you're probably right.

Anyone up for a little adventure?

Well, surely the Koala Kid is.

- Me?

- Yeah.

- Did I say that loud?

- Hold on now.

There is no way the

Kid is going up there.

- Figures, I'll go.

- What?

- No, I'll go.

- No, I'll go.

- Well I said I'll go!

- Fine ... Go.

I didn't say today.

Kid... This is crazy.

Oh, I can do this.

Besides, I mean ...

I'm sure it's safe.

Higgens .

Take a wop, take a wop.

Koala Kid.

Who am I fooling?

- This is very nice.

- Quiet, Quint.

Oh no!

I told yer.

He's dead.

Hop to! We need to find

another way across to help him!

Pull yourself up!

And it's probably best

not to look down!

Don't look down.

What?

Well, I'll be.

He ain't dead.

Huh, Koala Kid. Good one on you.

You found a way across.

Just trying on doing me part,

in some small way.

Well done.

Stop!

- What do you want, bird?

- You grabbed the wrong Koala, genius.

What do you mean?

We got him right here.

What!

All is not lost.

The albino koala is leading a

rescue party to the Bongle Bongles.

Koala Kid coming for me?

If you hurry you can beat them

to the other side of the valley

where you can ambush

them at Crossroads Pass.

Please. This is the Koala Kid.

And he's probably pretty mad.

You guys are

seriously in trouble now.

We're not through with

you as a bargaining chip.

Then Crossroads Pass it is!

Let's move.

Come on, we have to move faster

if we're going to save Charlotte.

Hey, about that tree bridge back there.

Now that was pretty heroic.

- Yeah.

- Kind of ...?

Whatever.

It's in the area of heroic I think.

Alright boy.

Silly sap.

Nobody move.

Well, well. What have we got here?

A regular blow in.

Let's see now. A roo,

a Tessie ...

Never taste fantastic.

Oh, you'll be quite happy

with a bit of that Sage.

Are you going to

have that kinky dude?

Indeed.

So let's put that

sweets on that table.

What is that all about.

Who wants it?

Very rare albino meat?

Come and get it!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Who's gonna get to eat me!

I'm only enough for one!

Back off you menace!

Fruit loop,

this jack is mine.

Back off, dipstick.

I saw him first.

He is mine!

No, mine!

What?

Good on you, you

galooped on your cracker.

I ain't feeling to that.

Koala Kid!

He iced it again!

I cannot believe it myself.

How did he do this?

Are you alright?

Takes more than a couple

of snakes to whip a Koala Kid.

Well. Thank you,

for saving me.

Well, I kind of owed you one, right?

- Kid! Where did you go?

- We're in some kind of a cave!

Well, that will be

the end of him for sure.

- Quint!

- Whoo!

Mac! Keep moving and we'll

meet at the Crossroads Pass.

We cannot just

leave them in there.

Don't worry.

Miranda is top notch in tight spots.

And besides, she's got

the Koala Kid with her.

You should warn like a

heck before you do that.

The wind going in that direction.

It should lead us to the entrance.

Use your own fur.

How do you know that

wasn't my favorite hair.

Our objective ...

Take out Bog before the

Dingoes return with Charlotte.

All we know,

enemies necessary.

So, let's get dirty.

Crikey, we are gonna need

help to take care of this croc.

A light.

Come on.

That's where we fell in.

We've been running in circles.

Now come on. There's got

to be a way out of here.

Koala Kid.

Step away slowly. We

don't want to get him mad.

Koala Kid.

I hope Johnny's okay. We gotta

get him back to the carnival.

You're hurt.

Please don't eat me.

All right, all right.

You got a name?

No, huh. Then I

think I'll call you...

... Bull.

Yeah, Bull.

Do you like that?

Easy.

It's okay, Miranda.

Koala Kid.

What about the lizard?

- How did you ...?

- Taming wild beasts is kind of what I do.

Don't worry.

Come on up.

You're just full of surprises.

Onwards steady!

Take it easy.

Easy. Ha ha.

Hang on.

Don't you ever come back!

What's this?

He's a carnival act?

Credulating your pull ...

Not a risk when you throw it.

- Yep, that's it. You catch on quick.

- I have a good teacher.

What's your name?

What do you mean?

Well, Koala Kid.

That can't be your real name.

- No, it's Johnny.

- Johnny ... I like that.

We made it!

Thanks for everything, Bull.

I owe you, big time.

You'll see me again.

Just listen to my whistle.

Look at that.

It's incredible.

I've never seen anything like it.

They're called the Min Min light.

Legend says that if they chase you

and catch you, you'll disappear.

Disappear?

To where?

Out there, I guess.

But I never believed it.

Just some crazy story.

There was a time when

I wanted to disappear ...

when I lived in a place

where I didn't fit in.

Well ...

You fit in here.

- Really?

- Really.

I wasn't very nice

to you before, was I?

I have to admit,

I thought you were ...

... a phony.

Yeah.

Yeah, about that.

But now I know you're for

real and that makes me feel ...

good about you.

Who is that sweet

koala bear she loves?

Aiigt!

Why does she have

to keep hitting me?

Now no boomerang, girlie.

Alright Johnny.

Let's take him together.

Together.

All right, fellas.

I only gonna warn you once.

I am dangerous.

Okay. Now you're pushing me.

You see, you don't want to push me.

Okay.

I gotta warn you!

I know Tae Kwon Do!

What's Tae Kwon Do?

It's a Koala Kid's specialty.

... Well, well, well.

Koala Kid.

More like freak show Johnny.

You...

You're a carnival act?

- You are a phony!

- Freak show to be specific!

- I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you.

- I trusted you!

Freak!

You don't belong with us.

Just go.

What about them?

At least I know who they are.

Stop!

- Miranda!

- Charlotte!

Make one more move,

and the little girl gets it.

- What do you want, Dingo?

- The albino.

He has ran away.

- What?

- She's right!

Probably back to their freak show!

So, he wasn't much

of a hero after all.

Oh ... that's enough

to break your heart.

Give me back my sister!

Bog wanted a koala.

So this one will have to do.

Wait!

Then take me.

Johnny! You're alive!

Well, I was right about you, kid.

Fellas, the carnival

is right over there.

Whoo whee, the carnival!

- What? I've never been.

- No!

I'm not going back there!

What?

Why not?

Because I'm sick of being a freak!

But Kid!

I wish I could disappear.

There she is.

You boys ready?

Let's get our girl back.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't the great Miranda?

You're going to help me

take control of the Billabong.

- Never!

- Bog!

What!

Behind you.

We want Miranda!

And we aim to take her!

Then, come and get her.

Come on, boys!

This would be fun.

Attack !!!

It's only you and me now, Pops.

Who are you calling Pops?
