Rocks ahoy! Dead ahead!

Watch out!

Hurry up! Everyone outside!

What's going on?

Take only the essentials!

The ship is sinking!

Coldrop said essentials only.

Exactly.

I only packed my tea set, cream v- Here it is!

I told you! Let me introduce you to my island!

This is where we are.

I told you this island was here.

even though it can't be found on any map.

This will make a sensational article for my journal.

Just a shame none of us can get back to actually write the article.

Exactly. How are we going to get back?

I don't mean to brag, but I have a pretty good-sized fleet.

When they realize we haven't returned in the next few days, they'll come looking

for us here.

You have all the time you need to map out the island and write your article.

So, ladies, gents, enjoy paradise for a few days.

Oh, go ahead and

explore.

I'll set up camp and find something to make you an excellent dinner with.

We can't leave you here all by yourselves.

Oh, fiddlesticks.

What do you...

possibly think could happen to me on an obscure, deserted island in the middle

of nowhere?

How about that, for example? There's only a mild tremor every once in a

while. Nothing to get all worried about.

My stomach is scarier than that when it grumbles.

Oh, go along and make sure you're back for dinner.

Monsieur Delannoye, are you ready to go exploring?

Yes, coming.

You stay with Esther. She needs someone to protect her.

I'd be so happy if you could cook this up for me for dinner.

We'll follow the four points of the compass and mark the furthest points of

the island to make an accurate map.

These trees are so tall.

Monsieur de L'Ennui, how observant you are.

Indeed, these trees are quite tall.

I knew I had invited the best of the best.

What was that?

Horses.

Horses? My friend.

I have no intention of letting you and your craving for adventure down.

It's an enormous, ferocious bear!

something with this we're about to reach the farthest east point of the island

what

is it nothing

I thought I saw over look the Redwood Ridge

we can get the most perfect view of the island from there and

Let's get out of here!

Monsieur Delannoye!

What a formidable athlete you are! I'd hate to become someone's free specu now!

And now what?

Let's go that way.

Absolutely incredible!

How courageous you were with that enormous creature!

And you!

I would never have made it without your help.

Without my what?

That push you gave me was so opportune. Well, when I put my mind to something...

Even this log was quite opportune.

You're right. Isn't nature incredible?

These are my redwoods.

They're so tall.

It's breathtaking.

What's that?

Our way up.

It's called an uppity up, downity down.

Behold the wonders of this island before you is the angel

It's Wonderful this island

is truly a natural paradise miss your colder up I know and the angel waterfall

is the cream of the crop.

Don't you think?

Hatteras, stop playing in the sand, will you? We need to go find some fruit.

This waterfall is so refreshing.

And these apples are simply delicious.

And free.

Nature can be extraordinary.

It looks like a rest stop for explorers.

What's wrong?

You're usually ecstatic about being on an expedition, but you seem so... so

distant today.

Maybe I should have just stayed in Paris.

Why? This arrived before we left.

My father wrote me that a friend of his, Monsieur Colbert, just moved to Paris.

What's that got to do with anything?

He says one of these days he might just come and pay me a visit.

If Colbert sees that I'm not studying, he'll tell my father.

One of these days?

He might?

Jules, he might not ever come at all. And you would have missed out on this

adventure for a visit that was hardly certain.

And a chance to spend time with me.

Never.

Listen!

What's going on?

Get out of here!

Watch

out!

Thank you, son.

I owe my life to you. What was that?

This is your coat of arms. Your island is located in a highly seismic area.

Haven't you figured that out yet? Oh, that was just a banal, gigantic,

bombastic earthquake.

Earthquake? Of course.

Of course.

Ah, fortunately we're all safe.

For the moment.

With all these tremors, if I found some milk, I could make some excellent

whipped cream.

Of course! I would need to find some strawberries, too.

Isn't that right, Hatteras?

Hatteras!

Men! As soon as they think you need help in the kitchen, they dash off!

My beloved Roxanna is on the other side of the stream, underneath the waterfall.

Your wife is here?

No, dear.

Roxanna isn't my wife.

It's a special variety of strawberries.

A vast field of large, red, succulent strawberries.

As soon as you finish mapping the area, we'll get the boat and go back to camp.

What boat?

I don't see any boats.

Oh dear, Delannuy.

Don't tell me a reckless adventurer like yourself has never ridden a tree trunk

down a river before.

Well, actually...

Hurry! Get aboard!

The sooner we get there, the sooner we can live!

Oh! Oh!

Look at all those wonderful strobe-

We're going to hit those rocks!

The courage is too strong!

Hold on tight! I'll use that branch to swivel us around and slow both logs

down!

We can!

Mind-blowing.

You all have a solution ready for any problem. Yes, well, the logs actually

did it all on their own.

And you, Delenui, you've saved my life once again.

Clinging to me like that, so I wouldn't fall off the log.

You're a hero.

If you say so.

Look!

Wasn't this supposed to be a deserted island?

A lot of strange things happen on this island.

Hatters?

captured Hatteras, they must have Esther as well.

But Hatteras is here alone.

Strange indeed.

Only Hatteras is here.

Cannibals!

And now?

I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve now.

Who knows how many times you've broken free from a cage.

Enough of this.

That padlock is made of metal, and this cage is welded firmly together.

There is no way they were made on this island.

The natives must have found them on a shipwreck around here.

And did you notice the strange way the logs changed course by themselves?

Or the rest stop, with water, fruit, a small table, and natural chairs?

Or the metal route I ran into when running away from the bear.

Okay, I give up.

You've got me.

Godfrey!

You've called, monsieur?

Huh? Get us out of here.

Immediately.

I suppose I owe all of you an explanation.

Monsieur Koldrop, please, do explain.

This really is an unknown island.

I discovered it 10 years ago during one of my many business trips.

At first, I thought of building a summer home for my wife and I.

But then I decided to share this paradise with whoever wanted to come and

make an amusement park out of it for whoever loves adventure.

A what?

I'm so sorry for everything I brought you in on all of this because of how

much I respect you You're the best explorers in the world Ideal test

pilots, but it was a good idea a park for adventure lovers.

I don't think so an amusement park unbelievable costs and no customers

The idea would fail, even a hundred years from now. Your ability to see so

far into the future leaves me very hopeful about the future of our journal.

And as for you, I hope you have learned that nothing is more unpredictable than

nature.

Monsieur Colbert!

Jean-Paul!

Jules, my dear boy.

I was in the library.

I ran into, um, Jean-Paul's friend on the street.

Jean-Paul, hi.

Oh, uh, yeah.

Hello, Rosemary.

Have you been waiting long?

Don't worry. I haven't been bored in the least. Jean-Paul has been the perfect

host. And I couldn't help notice this manuscript here.

I started reading it and... I must say that this adventure story is so

engaging. Just... This is true talent.

Really? Thank you.

I don't know how to... Good job, son.

Sharing a room with this kind of talent will certainly help you with your

studies. Jules, Mr. Colbert saw the pages of one of your... One of my

stories on your... My desk.

And now the one on that island with those, uh, those trees.

The Redwoods! The story about the island and the Redwoods, of course. I really

like that story, too.

Ferocious bears, warlike natives, eccentric billionaires, one mise-en

-scene after another.

I have to tell you, boy, you will become a very successful writer.

And you, Jules.

How's it going for you here in Paris?

Just the normal life of a student.

Always heading the books.

Your father will be happy to hear it.

Oh, look at the time.

I must get going.

I'll leave you to your books. But don't overdo it, Jules.

Every now and then you need to take advantage of this storyteller you have

as a roommate and read some of his work.

Just to relax a bit.

See you soon, boys.

I was really expecting the worst.

Thanks, Jean-Paul.

No, no problem.

Thank goodness I hadn't finished it yet.
