[wind whistling]

You'd be fools to go out in this weather.

Of course, that doesn't always stop people.

Um, have some tea, boys.

Thank you.

We're lucky that you rescued us from the snow storm.

Yeah, I was almost a Bounder popsicle.

Zeb: Even when the snow stops,

it's going to be mighty hard getting anywhere.

You don't intend to wait here until spring thaw, I hope?

-Zeb! -Just asking.

It will be tough to get through the snow drifts.

How do you get around?

I don't.

Sensible people stay indoors.

We use snow shoes, Teddy.

Snow shoes? Aren't they kind of cold on the feet?

[chuckles]

These are snow shoes.

With these on, you don't sink into the snow.

I think L.B. and I will need something a bit larger.

Oh, Zeb can show you how to make them.

[huffs] As if I've got nothing better to do

then make giant snow shoes for every Tom, Dick, and Bounder

who stumbles in out of a blizzard.

Hmm.

This is too small.

What can I use for giant critters like you two?

L.B., say "ah."

Ah!

Now, just hold her there, L.B.

First you need to make a frame.

All set, L.B.?

You bet.

Hey, these things are great.

[laughing]

Of course, they take a little getting used to.

Good-bye! Thanks for everything.

Oh, take care.

Come back soon.

But not too soon.

[door closes]

Be careful, L.B. Don't go walking on anymore thin ice.

Don't worry, I have had it with ice.

I'm heading back to Tweeg's. I might even be glad to see him.

[laughing]

Uh, good luck finding your hermit.

Why, thank you, L.B.

Let go of me! Hands off, I say!

Ugh!

Rule 4, paragraph 2, section 6.

No shoving the Keeper of the Gate.

You won't be the Keeper of the Gate

unless you admit that I am the new boss around here.

I obey whoever owns the black box.

Do you have the black box?

No, but I am the Supreme Oppressor,

box or no box!

No box, no obedience!

Then you can rot with Quellor!

Throw him in the dungeon!

Oh!

Hmm. I better check the want ads.

I'll need a new gatekeeper.

How dare that old hag imprison me?

Wait until Ickley hears of this.

He'll get me out.

Ooh!

Rule 9, section 10--

[laughs]

You'll never get out!

Ickley, what are you doing here?

I refused to obey The Understander,

Your Vileness.

I give you my undivided loyalty.

I'd rather you gave me the key to the cell.

Oh, right.

The world doesn't deserve someone

as magnificent as I.

But it's stuck with me.

Come on, you, it's time for your swearing-in ceremony.

I want to look absolutely stunning.

You better just settle for less-repulsive.

Ugh.

It was you,

along with Tweeg and L.B.,

who first brought us news of the crystals

and the Illiop Ruxpin.

For your loyal service to M.A.V.O.,

I appoint you the new Understander of Legends.

Thank you, Supreme Oppressor.

It's nice to finally get the recognition

I so richly deserve.

[slurping]

[coughing, choking]

And now, to work.

Our first job is to capture Ruxpin.

My troops are scouring the countryside as we speak.

But they've had no luck.

What shall we try next?

Ruin him! Smash him!

Destroy all of Grundo, if necessary.

Say, I like your go-getter attitude.

Send out the Eclipse.

It should be easy to spot him from the air.

Soldier: I've never seen tracks like that before.

Soldier #2: Whatever made them is big. Real big.

They disappear around that bend.

Follow me, monsters, on the double.

[shouting]

That's mighty strange.

What sort of creature suddenly leaves no tracks?

Nothing I know of.

Well, I guess that's what it was,

a Nothing.

I know a perfect candidate for Keeper of the Gate.

He's not too bright, but he takes orders

if you explain them seven or eight times... slowly.

Who is this bubble-brain you speak of?

My baby, Tweegy.

Oh... him.

Well, he's better than nothing, I suppose.

Barely.

Well, Maggotheart,

congratulations on becoming the new commander

of the Eclipse.

Oh, you're too kind.

Mmm. I'll have to watch that.

Spread these around while you're out.

Commander...

your assignment is to find the Illiop Teddy Ruxpin

and bring back the crystals.

[whispering, laughing]

And while you're out and about,

tell Tweeg he's the new Keeper of the Gate.

[laughing]

Aye, aye, Supreme Oppressor.

You heard your orders.

I expect total and complete obedience.

The first monster to step out of line

will have to deal with me!

It's so nice to have the girls in charge for a change.

Hmm. I'll need something to test the thickness of the ice.

Mr. Hermit?

Mr. Hermit?

I guess he's not here.

"Wanted alive by M.A.V.O.,

Teddy Ruxpin.

1,000 pieces of gold."

Here he comes. Is everybody ready?

Yeah!

-I can't wait! -Let's get him.

I'm ready.

-Monsters: Charge! -Yikes!

Get him!

[monsters shouting]

Ugh!

Ugh!

Oh, no!

Whoa!

Yay!

It's all over now, Ruxpin.

Why don't you just give up... quiet-like?

I hope this works.

Grab him! Don't let him escape.

Farewell!

Better this than capture.

Whoa!

Hermit: Chilly weather for a swim.

M-M-M-Mister Hermit!

I-I've... been looking all over for you.

You and everyone else. This place is crawling with M.A.V.O. agents.

Say, how do I know you're not working with them?

Well, this is a M.A.V.O. wanted poster.

They're after me, too.

Well, in that case, come on, you need to dry off.

Why would M.A.V.O. be after you?

Well, they've been after me for years.

Question is, why were you looking for me?

Well, I wanted to give you this winter gift.

But I'm afraid it's a bit soggy now.

Well, thank you.

Come on, we'd better get you warm.

Gimmick: Teddy, uh, Ruxpin?

Eh, Teddy Ruxpin?

Ruxpin, R-- Eh, do we know anyone named, eh, Teddy Ruxpin?

Nope, and even if we did know Teddy,

we wouldn't tell you where he was.

That's right.

Even if such a person did exist.

Ooh, I urge you two to cooperate.

The new Supreme Oppressor

is not as easy-going as Quellor was.

We already told you, we don't know where he is.

[laughing] Oh!

Then I'll just have to bill you for not knowing.

And this bill will cover the house arrest

I've just placed you under.

House, uh, arrest?

Oh, yes!

Oh, and if you attempt to leave, there will be an extra charge.

I'm scared, Gimmick.

I hope Teddy's okay.

So do I, Grubby, so do I.

I think it will be safer for both of us at Gimmick's house.

Well, I don't know.

I haven't been around anyone for so long.

Oh, it'll be all right.

Do you have snow shoes?

No, but I have skis. They're a whole lot faster,

and we might be in a bit of a hurry.

I suspect you might be right.

There are the monsters.

I hope we can make it to the woods before they notice us.

Well, let's do it, lad. Quietly now.

I never knew and Illiop could hold its breath this long.

Well, I hear they're pretty talented.

Now, that's talent.

He's over there, and there's two of him!

[all exclaiming]

Don't let him escape.

-Whoa... -Whoa!

-Whoa! -Whoa-oh!

Yes?

Ah, Mr. Tweeg.

There you are.

Congratulations.

Hmm. What for?

Oh, you see, Quellor is in the dungeon,

the Understander is now the Supreme Oppressor,

your mother is the Understander,

I am the commander,

and you are the new Keeper of the Gate.

I am?

[laughing] Oh! That's right.

Now, report to the Supreme Oppressor,

who's actually now the Understander...

-understand? -No.

Good! And here's your bill.

-What's this for? -Poster rental, of course.

Oh! I must say,

it does do wonders for that door of yours.

Hmm.

A thousand pieces of gold?

For one icky little Illiop?

I don't believe this!

Woo-hoo-hoo! What a marvelous day.

I'm Keeper of the Gate, and I'm going to be rich, too.

Hoo-hoo! One Illiop, coming up.

Yah-ha-hooey!

Are they still after us?

They certainly are.

We've got them now.

I can almost feel that Illiop squirming in my hands.

Look out!

-Yow! -Whoa!

That was a close call.

[thuds]

[screaming]

-Left! -No, right.

-No, left. -Oh, wait. I don't know!

[thuds]

Yow!

[thuds]

[screaming]

Confound those Bounders!

How can they go on strike when they never do anything?

And how am I supposed to find Teddy Root-bin

in all this snow?

Ah, someone's coming.

Maybe it's that Teddy Rucksack.

Well, I'd better hide.

Yow!

Aha!

Hiya, Tweep, it's a real drag seeing you again.

-[laughing] -[groans]

That's it, just ahead.

Hello? Zeb? Maple?

It's Teddy Ruxpin.

Ahh!

Oh, why, Teddy. It's good to see you.

Where's your dang fool friend going?

What--Wait, Mr. Hermit!

Come back!

It's safe here.

Who was that, Teddy?

Why did he run away?

Well, that's the Hermit of Leekee Lake.

He's easily frightened.

Fine friend to run away like that.

Good riddance to him, I say.

Come and warm yourself.

Oh, you're worried about him, aren't you?

Yes, he's so lonely.

Besides, there's something...

-really special about him. -[knocking on door]

My name's Zeb. This here is Maple.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you. I'm-- I'm sorry if I was unfriendly.

I'm just used to being alone,

as long as I can remember.

[sighs]

Now, is there anything else

we can get you before we go to bed?

Nothing, thank you, Maple. You're very kind.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight, Zeb.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you both, and have a very good night.

My father made up that song.

He sang it to me when I was little.
