The Prince and the Pauper

For many years...

England was ruled by|a wise and good king...

and the people flourished|and were very happy...

but by-and-by.|the good king became ill...

and a darkness fell over|the countryside.

As the king grew weaker...

his captain of the guard.|a ruthless and greedy man...

saw his chance to terrorise|the people of England...

and worst of all.|in the king's name.

It seemed that no one could|save the kingdom of England...

from the thieving captain|and his ruthless henchmen...

until one day...

Kindling! Kindling!

Fresh kindling!

You can't cook dinner|without a fire, can you, sir?

I know, fella.|I'm hungry, too.

Snow cones!

All kinds, sir.|We got plain, mud, and twig.

Hiya, Goof. How's business?

Gawrsh, Mickey, if I don't get|a customer soon...

I'll have to eat them myself.

Don't feel bad, guys.

Come on, fellas,|secret handshake.

Ooba boola boola boola!

Swing it up!

One of these days,|we'll eat just like the king...

with lots of turkey and ham|and potatoes and corn.

Yeah! And ice cream|and cookies and pie!

Fruit tarts and cobblers|piled this high.

# Oh. Give me a suckling pig #

# To make my belly big #

# I'm just a little guy #

# Give me a piece of pie #

# I have a happy face #

# Next to the fireplace #

# I'd like a hat to wear #

# And thermal underwear #

# It would be appealing #

# To have that royal feeling #

# Doing everything #

# A little bit like a king #

- Like a king!|- Like a king!

# Just a little bit|like a king #

# I #

# Just a little bit like #

# Just a little bit,|little bit like #

# I would love to live|just like a king #

# Captain Pete,|Captain Pete #

# Captain Pete,|Captain Pete #

# He never met a man|he didn't cheat #

# Cheat, cheat, cheat #

# He's the vilest villain|that you'd ever want to meet #

Pluto! No!

# Quite a cad, super bad #

No! Pluto!

Pluto? Pluto?

Who goes there.|and what do you want?

Gosh, I just want|to get my dog back.

He ran in before|I could catch him.

Your Majesty, do come inside.

Thanks.

What do you think this is,|open house?

Captain,|that was the prince.

Then who's that, numskull?

Now to review, sire.

All triangles|have three sides...

and the relations|between these sides...

are known as ratios.

Trigonometry is|the branch of mathematics...

Sire, if you could give me|your full attention.

Name the three secondary|trigonometric ratios.

You may begin.

Cotangent...

secant...

Who did that?

What is it?

Cosecant!

Sire. We've been through|this time and time again.

It's hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse!

Now, Donald,|I'll have you know...

that I don't find|your behaviour amusing at all.

If the prince is to assume|the royal duties...

No! He started it!

- Donald!|- Aw, fooey!

I'm always getting in trouble|for that stupid prince.

And as for you,|Your Highness...

you know|that your father is ill...

and requires rest and quiet.|Now, sire...

Beat it, you dumb mutt!

Get out of here!|Let go of my leg!

Captain! What's the meaning|of this outburst?

Just some|local riffraff, sire.

Even the lowliest subjects of|this kingdom deserve respect.

Have him brought to me at once.

The prince wishes to see you.

Allow me.

Put me down!

Wow!

Hiya!

# I'm just a little guy #

# Give me... #

What the devil's|going on out here?

Donald, if this is|your idea of humour, I'm...

You look just like...|I thought you were...

Wait, wait, wait.|Just a moment.

Now, who are you?|And who is your tailor?

The name's Mickey.

Mickey Mouse,|Your Royal Highness.

A beggar boy.

Well, Mickey, I must thank you|for saving my life.

Saving your life?

I was about to die of boredom when you interrupted my lesson.

Do you know what|it's like to be the prince?

O' Boy, it must be fun.

Never a moment to myself.|Breakfast at seven.

Lessons till lunch...

fencing till tea time...

and every night, banquet|after feast after banquet.

Wow!

And then nine o'clock, bedtime.

Beddy-bye.

How I envy your freedom.

Games all day long...

no studying|dreary old books...

staying up late as you like,|eating junk food.

If I could take your place|for just one day...

Yes. What a grand idea.

Don't you see?|lt'll be perfect.

I'll take your place|with your friends in the streets of London...

and you shall be the prince.

The prince?|I can't be the prince.

How do I act?|What do I say?

You needn't worry, lad.

To govern, you need to say|only one of two things...

"That's a splendid idea.|I'm glad I thought of it!"

and "Guards, seize him!"

But your father, the king...

I'll be back|in the wink of an eye.

And if there's any trouble,|all may know me by this.

Wow! I'm not sure|this is a good idea.

You'll do fine, Mickey.

Why, you're looking|more royal already.

Good-bye, Mickey.

You won't forget|to come back now, will ya?

Well... good-bye.

Hello, Captain.

Ah, my little peasant.

Embarrass me in front|of the prince, will ya?

Peasant?

Captain, I fooled you.|I am the prince.

Forgive me, my royal liege.

How thoughtful of you,|Captain.

I live to serve.

Sayonara, sucker!

I did it! I did it!

I'm free! I am good!

I fooled him.

Well, For now, nothing's|going to spoil my fun.

Hey, Mickey!|There you are!

Ah, my first encounter|with the peasantry.

Where'd you go, Mickey?

Mickey...

Come here, you little nut.

Noogie, noogie, noogie!

Give me that|secret handshake, Mick.

Put your hand up here.|Swing it now.

Oh, yes. That is me...

Mickey Mouse,|peasant at large.

My good man,|you must forgive me.

I'm dreadful with names.

Could I have your name?

What's the matter|with the one you got?

I'm Goofy. Remember?

So I see.|And, my dear man...

if there's anything|I can do to help...

by all means,|let me know.

Oh, I get it!

It's a joke.

That's a great one.

Will you look at the time?|I really must be going.

Ta-ta!

Hey, come back here!

Come back here!

Gosh, if my friends|could see me now.

Surely His Highness has|not forgotten his royal duties.

You'll pay for this!|Leave her alone right now!

- Get away from her!|- Help me!

Relax, lady.|It's for the king.

- Yeah, the king.|- But it's all we have.

Then it's all we'll take.

Halt!|As your royal prince...

I command you|to unhand that hen.

What's so amusing?

Forgive me.|I think you forgot your crown.

When I return to the palace,|you'll pay for this!

I can't believe it.|Stealing in the king's name.

This happens all the time.

The king takes all our food.|We're hungry.

Outta the way, you slobs!

Make way for|the royal provisioner.

Out of the way.|Come on, move it, move it and move it.

What are yous. Deaf?

Halt! I am the prince...

and I command you to surrender|your entire inventory.

And I'm the queen mother.|Be off with ya.

Will this help?

- It's the prince!|- Your Highness!

# Give me|a suckling pig... #

Now, where can he be?

For you, sir.

There he is.

Thank you, sire.

Gawrsh,|Mick's flipped his wig.

Alright! Alright! Clear out!|Out of the way!

He's the one that|showed me the ring, sir.

You there,|you're under arrest.
