NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: Movietown News presents Spotlight on Adventure.

What you are now witnessing

is footage never before seen by civilised humanity,

a lost world in South America.

Lurking in the shadow of majestic Paradise Falls,

it sports plants and animals undiscovered by science.

Who would dare set foot on this inhospitable summit?

Why, our subject today, Charles Muntz!

The beloved explorer lands his dirigible the Spirit of Adventure,

in New Hampshire this week,

completing a yearlong expedition to the lost world.

This lighter-than-air craft was designed by Muntz himself

and is longer than 22 prohibition paddy wagons placed end to end.

And here comes the adventurer now.

Never apart from his faithful dogs,

Muntz conceived the craft for canine comfort.

It's a veritable floating palace in the sky,

complete with doggy bath and mechanical canine walker.

And, Jiminy Cricket do the locals consider Muntz the bee's knees.

And how!

Adventure is out there!

PEOPLE CHEERING

NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: But what has Muntz brought back this time?

Gentlemen, I give you the monster of Paradise Falls!

PEOPLE GASP

NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: And, golly, what a swell monster this is!

But what's this? Scientists cry foul.

The National Explorer's Society accuses Muntz

of fabricating the skeleton.

No!

NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: The organisation strips Muntz

of his membership.

GASPS

NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: Humiliated, Muntz vows a return to Paradise Falls

and promises to capture the beast alive!

I promise to capture the beast alive,

and I will not come back until I do!

CROWD CHEERS

NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: And so, the explorer's off to clear his name.

Bon voyage, Charles Muntz,

and good luck capturing the monster of Paradise Falls!

Is there nothing he cannot do?

Yes, as Muntz himself says, "Adventure is..."

Oh! There's something down there. I will bring it back for science.

Aw! It's a puppy! Ah! No time! A storm! Lightning. Hail.

-What are you doing?

-Ahhh!

Don't you know this is an exclusive club?

Only explorers get in here,

not just any kid off the street with a helmet and a pair of goggles.

Do you think you've got what it takes? Well, do you?

STAMMERING

All right, you're in. Welcome aboard.

What's wrong? Can't you talk?

Hey, I don't bite.

Ever! In my life!

You'll have to swear you will not tell anyone.

Cross your heart. Do it!

My Adventure Book.

You know him.

CARL GASPS

Charles Muntz, explorer.

When I get big, I'm going where he's going,

South America. It's like America, but south.

Want to know where I'm going to live?

"Paradise Falls, a land lost in time."

I ripped this right out of a library book.

CARL GASPS

I'm going to move my clubhouse there and park it right next to the falls.

Who knows what lives up there?

And once I get there?

Well, I'm saving these pages for all the adventures I'm going to have.

Only I just don't know how I'm going to get to Paradise Falls.

That's it! You can take us there in a blimp!

Swear you'll take us! Cross your heart!

Cross it! Cross your heart! Good, you promised. No backing out.

Well, see you tomorrow, kid. Bye!

Adventure is out there!

You know, you don't talk very much.

I like you!

Wow.

Tell your boss over there that you boys are ruining our house.

Well, just to let you know,

my boss will be happy to take this old place off your hands,

and for double his last offer!

What do you say to that?

Uh, I take that as a "no," then?

I believe I made my position to your boss quite clear.

You poured prune juice in his gas tank.

Yeah, that was good. Here, let me talk to him.

"Are you in need of any assistance today, sir?"

No.

-I could help you cross the street.

-No.

-I could help you cross your yard.

-No.

-I could help you cross your porch.

-No.

Well, I gotta help you cross something.

No. I'm doing fine.

-"...today, sir?"

Ow.

Proceed.

-"Good afternoon..."

-But skip to the end!

See these? These are my Wilderness Explorer badges.

You may notice one is missing. It's my Assisting the Elderly badge.

If I get it, I will become a Senior Wilderness Explorer.

"The wilderness must be explored!"

Caw, caw! Raar!

HEARING AID SCREECHES

It's going to be great! There's a big ceremony,

and all the dads come, and they pin on our badges.

So, you want to assist an old person?

Yep! Then I'll be a Senior Wilderness Explorer.

-You ever heard of a snipe?

-Snipe?

Bird. Beady eyes.

Every night it sneaks in my yard and gobbles my poor azaleas.

I'm elderly and infirm. I can't catch it.

If only someone could help me.

-Me, me! I'll do it!

-I don't know. It's awfully crafty.

You'd have to clap your hands three times to lure it in.

I'll find him, Mr Fredricksen!

I think its burrow is two blocks down. If you go past...

Two blocks down. Got it! Snipe.

Here, snipey, snipey.

Bring it back here when you find it.

Snipe!

OK, keep her coming. Keep coming.

And stop. Stop. Stop!

Why... Hey! Hey, you!

What do you... What do you think you're doing?

-I am so sorry, sir.

Good morning, Mr Fredricksen. You ready to go?

I'll meet you at the van in just a minute.

I want to say one last goodbye to the old place.

You should try this, Mr Fredricksen.

Look, there's a bus that could take me home two blocks away!

Hey! I can see your house from here.

Don't jerk around so much, kid. Whoa!

RUSSELL SCREAMING

Well, that's not going to work.

I know that cloud. It's a cumulonimbus.

Did you know that

the cumulonimbus forms

when warm air rises over cool air?

Stayed up all night blowing up balloons... for what?

...and that's how we get lightning.

-That's nice, kid.

Can't tell where we are.

Oh, we're in South America, all right.

It was a cinch with my Wilderness Explorer GPS.

CARL GROANS

We'll get you down, find a bus stop,

you just tell the man you want to go back to your mother.

Sure, but I don't think they have buses in Paradise Falls.

There. That ought to do it.

Here, I'll give you some change for bus fare.

No, I'll just use my city bus pass.

Whoa. That's going to be like a billion transfers

to get back to my house.

Mr Fredricksen, how much longer?

Well, we're up pretty high. Could take hours to get down.

CARL EXCLAIMS

That thing was... building or something.

I came all this way just to get stuck at the wrong end of this rock pile?

Great.

GRUNTING ANGRILY

Hey, if I could assist you over there, would you sign off on my badge?

-What are you talking about?

-We could walk your house to the falls.

-Walk it?

-Yeah! After all, we weigh it down.

We could walk it right over there. Like a parade balloon.

Now, we're going to walk to the falls quickly and quietly

-with no rap music or flash dancing.

-Uh-huh.

We have three days, at best, before the helium leaks out of those balloons.

And if we're not at the falls when that happens...

-Sand.

-..we're not getting to the falls.

I found sand!

Don't you worry, Ellie. We'll get our house over there.

This is fun already, isn't it?

By the time we get there, you're going to feel so assisted.

Oh, Mr Fredricksen, if we happen to get separated,

use the Wilderness Explorer call.

I am a great tracker. Did I mention that?

I have never seen one up close, but this is the bird.

We better tell him someone took the bird. Right, Alpha?

(SQUEAKY VOICE) No.

Soon enough the bird will be ours yet again.

Find the scent, my compadres,

and you too shall have much rewardings

Do not mention Dug to me at this time.

His fool's errand will keep him most occupied. Most occupied indeed.

Hope they weren't too rough on you.

-GAMMA:

-We weren't.

-MUNTZ:

-Go ahead and moor your airship right next to mine.

We're not actually going inside the Spirit of Adventure itself?

Oh...

Would you like to?

Would I?

LAUGHING DELIGHTEDLY

Wait up, Mr Muntz.

Jiminy Cricket.

-Not you.

-What do we do with Dug?

He has lost the bird. Put him in the Cone of Shame.

WHIMPERS

I do not like the Cone of Shame.

Well, most of the collection is housed in the world's top museums,

New York, Munich, London. Of course, I kept the best for myself.

Did you ever! Will you look at that?

Oh, yes, the Arsinoitherium.

Beast charged while I was brushing my teeth.

Used my shaving kit to bring him down.

Oh, yeah. Well, surprise me.

Only way to get it out of Ethiopia at the time

was to have it declared as dental equipment.

Oh, my gosh! The giant Somalian leopard tortoise!

Oh, you recognise it. I'm impressed.

That's an interesting story there.

Excellent choice.

I found it on safari with Roosevelt.

He and I fell into a habit of playing gin rummy in the evenings,

and did he cheat!

Oh, he was horrible.

Master, dinner is ready.

Oh, dear. Broken translator.

It's that loose wire again. There you go, big fella.

(DEEP VOICE) Thank you, Master.

I liked his other voice.

LAUGHING

Well, dinner is served. Right this way.

So, how are things stateside, huh?

Almost tempted to go back a few times,

but I have unfinished work here.

Please. I hope you're hungry,

because Epsilon is the finest chef I've ever had.

BARKS

Oh, Epsilon, you've done it again!

Yes!

Hey! Hey!

Oh, my Ellie would've loved all this.

You know, it's because of you she had this dream

to come down here and live by Paradise Falls.

I'm honoured. And now you've made it.

You're sure we're not a bother? I'd hate to impose.

No, no. It's a pleasure to have guests, a real treat.

Treat! Treat! Where's the treat!

DOGS CLAMOURING

No, no. Quiet! Calm down, calm down.

I want a treat! I want a treat! Hey!

I shouldn't have used that word.

-Having guests is a DELIGHT.

-DOGS FALL QUIET

More often I get thieves come to steal what's rightfully mine.

No!

They called me a fraud, those...

EXCLAIMS

But once I bring back this creature, my name will be cleared.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I've spent a lifetime tracking it.

Sometimes years go by between sightings.

I've tried to smoke it out of that deathly labyrinth where it lives.

You can't go in after it.

Once in, there's no way out.

I've lost so many dogs.

And here they come, these bandits, and think the bird is theirs to take.

But they soon find that this mountain is a very dangerous place.

Hey, that looks like Kevin.

-Kevin?

-Yeah, that's my new giant bird pet.

I trained it to follow us.

Follow you? It's impossible. How?

-She likes chocolate.

-Chocolate?

Yeah. I gave her some of my chocolate. She goes gaga for it.

But it ran off. It's gone now.

You know, Carl, these people who pass through here,

they all tell pretty good stories.

A surveyor making a map.

A botanist cataloguing plants.

An old man taking his house to Paradise Falls.

I mean, that's the best one yet. I can't wait to hear how it ends.

GASPS

Well, it's been a wonderful evening, but we better be going.

Oh, you're not leaving.

We don't want to take advantage of your hospitality.

-Come on, Russell.

-But we haven't even had dessert yet.

The boy's right. You haven't had dessert.

Epsilon here makes a delicious cherries jubilee.

Oh, you really must stay. I insist.

We have so much more to talk about.

No, it was Dug.

RADAR BEEPING

SNIFFING

See anything?

No. My pack is not following us. Boy, they are dumb.

This is crazy.

I finally meet my childhood hero, and he's trying to kill us. What a joke!

Hey, I know a joke.

A squirrel walks up to a tree and says,

"I forgot to store acorns for winter and now I am dead."

Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.

HOUSE CRASHING

Careful, Russell.

You OK, Kevin?

WHIMPERS

You know what, Mr Fredricksen?

The wilderness isn't quite what I expected.

Yeah? How so?

It's kind of wild.

I mean, it's not how they made it sound in my book.

-SCOFFS

-Get used to that, kid.

My dad made it sound so easy.

He's really good at camping

and how to make fire from rocks and stuff.

He used to come to all my Sweat Lodge meetings.

And afterwards, we'd go get ice cream at Fentons.

I always get chocolate and he gets butter brickle.

Then we sit on this one curb right outside,

and I'll count all the blue cars and he counts all the red ones,

and whoever gets the most wins.

I like that curb.

That might sound boring,

but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.

You just gave her away.

This is none of my concern. I didn't ask for any of this!

I am not your master!

Bad dog! Bad dog!

And they wouldn't believe me. Just wait till they get a look at you.

-The small mailman has returned.

-What?

Let me go.

Where's your elderly friend?

He's not my friend any more.

Well, if you're here, Fredricksen can't be far behind.

Where are you keeping Kevin?

Let me go!

Scream all you want, small mailman.

None of your mailman friends can hear you.

I'll unleash all my Wilderness Explorer training!

Alpha, Fredricksen's coming back.

Guard that bird. If you see the old man, you know what to do.

Hey, where are you going? I'm not finished with you!

Nice talking with you.

Ahhh!

Where are you, Fredricksen?
