such a tiny one

like a little doll

but a baby all my own

now my world is bright

things have

turned out right

after all my doubts

and all my fears

you belong to me

and we'll live

happily

together

ever

after all these years

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

hmm hmm hmm hmm

hmm hmm hmm hmm

you belong to me

and we'll live

happily

together

ever

after all these years

Goodnight, mom.

Goodnight, dad.

Which in chinaland mean

"good morning."

Oh, uh, good morning,

Mr., uh...

Allow unworthy one

to introduce

your humble servant

con-fu-shon.

I'm bidding you, on behalf of

all toys in nursery,

a most glorious welcome.

Oh, thank you.

Good morning, tom.

Good morning, tom!

Good morning.

Good morning, tom.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I didn't know toys could talk.

All very grateful to you, tom,

to bring us to life.

Grownup can't do that.

They are too smart.

You see, tom, many, many year,

this has been

a very lonely place without you,

and now that you here,

we are so happy.

We want to celebrate.

Hey, that's my song!

hey there!

Hey! Hey!

Ah!

Ooh!

Hee hee hee!

Ha ha ha!

Everybody run!

Grownup coming!

Run! Run, everybody! Hurry!

Oh, excuse me.

Please. Oh.

He's gone.

Tom! Tom,

where are you?

Here I am!

What are you doing

out of your cradle?

The sun's hardly up.

Ah, the toys are

giving me a party!

The toys gave you a party?

Well, we were

having a party. Honest.

We were singing,

and dancing, and jumping...

shh. Now,

listen, son.

Imagination's alright

in a little boy,

but don't let it go too far.

Never forget your father's name

is honest Jonathan.

Turn coming!

Which way, father?

Left today, son.

Watch me take it.

Look! No hands!

Left, Sally!

Another turn coming, father.

Left again?

Yes.

Sally, left again!

Son,

this donkey seems to understand

every word you say.

Sure.

I understand him, too.

What was that?

A cry from the black swamp.

What's a swamp?

An evil place, son,

where horrid birds

and animals live.

You must never go inside there.

They'd gobble up a little

lad like you in no time.

Great jumping globules of fire!

Can it be real?

It must be.

It lives and breathes.

Antony.

Huh? Huh?

I have an inspiration

of unparalleled brilliance.

This little fellow

could help us with our job.

What... that little splinter?

He couldn't lift a feather.

Ah, but you forget

the old adage...

"there are more ways than one

to crack a vault."

He can wiggle

through the keyhole.

No, no.

I don't want nobody else.

I can open it

with my bare hands.

Of course you can,

of course you can,

but he can do it quieter.

Watch me strike

a bargain with the old man.

We'll play a little game.

The cards, of course,

will be marked.

Oh, ho ho ho!

Ivan.

Our fortune is as good as made.

Stand back, my good man.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

Your gracious pardon, sir.

My colleague and I

are showmen of prominence

on our way to the annual fair,

and we were wondering

what price you put

upon the little lad.

Price? What do you mean?

Do you want to buy him?

Oh, no, no, no.

It would be more of a loan...

a sort of loan-lease.

We'd teach him a good trade,

and we would pay you.

He will be learning,

and you'll be earning.

He's not for sale!

He's my son!

Oh, we understand.

Don't we, Antony?

Oh, yes, we do.

Who would argue

with a father's heart?

I like you.

So do I.

I like you very much.

Goodbye, little lad.

One day, your father

will be very proud of you.

Arrivederci.

I don't like the looks

of those fellows.

I thought

they were kind of nice.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, where are you?

Come on.

Hello, Woody.

Queenie!

Where have you been?

I've been calling for you.

I've been looking for you

all through the forest.

Oh, poor Woody.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I just secured the position

as second woodwind

in the royal military band.

I think that's wonderful.

Do you really?

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Ahh...

You know, queenie,

if only there weren't

this barrier between us...

you being an immortal

and I a mere unworthy mortal.

There needn't be

a barrier, Woody.

You mean I can be

immortal, too?

The other way around.

You can become a mortal.

Well, what's stopping you?

What do you have to do?

It isn't what

I have to do. It's you.

Me?

Uh-huh.

Well, tell me.

Can't you guess?

Well...

I have to be promoted

to first woodwind

in the royal military band?

No.

Not bandmaster.

It's much simpler than that.

Woody.

Yes?

Would you promise me something?

Anything in the world.

Well...

You won't ever,

under any circumstances,

ever...

Try to...

Kiss me, will you?

Oh, no!

Certainly not!

Funny how a fella

can change, you know.

There was a time when

I wouldn't have thought twice

about kissing a girl

as pretty as you.

Oh, I was a terrible fella.

Were you, Woody?

I certainly was...

kissing, kissing,

always kissing girls,

sometimes even when

they weren't looking.

Ha ha ha!

Ah...

Ahem.

Of course, with you,

it's different, you know.

Ever since I first met you,

I've been a changed man.

You know why?

Because you were

right up there.

I was way down here.

I still am,

but I won't always be.

One day, queenie,

I'll be worthy of you.

And until then...

I'll respect you.

Thank you, Woody.

That's nice.

Hello, Woody.

Good afternoon, Jonathan.

Meet my son tom.

Pleased to meet you, young man.

Goodbye now.

What's the hurry, Woody?

Why don't you come home

and have supper with us?

You know Anna's always happy

to see you.

Thanks, Jonathan. I wish

I could, but I can't.

I'm a very busy man now.

I have to get back

to the village. I have a job.

You? Working?

Certainly.

So long. I'll see you

at the fair on Sunday?

Oh, I don't think you will.

Anna and I... we're too old

for things like that.

Oh, Jonathan, how can you

let this fella

miss seeing the fair?

Look, if you can't take him,

let him go with me.

I'll show him a good time.

He'll be the guest

of the second woodwind

in the royal military band.
