(SINGING) We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

We're the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

We're the spirits from the forest moon

Yes, we're home on the ground And on highways in the trees

When we want to fly high We just sail out on the breeze

We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks

Yeah, we're one big happy family

(CREATURES CROAK)

-(EWOKS GIGGLING) -(CREATURE GROWLING)

Dangar, Ewoks! (EXCLAIMS)

(SPEAKING EWOKESE)

Follow me!

Yubnub! Before that thing...

-(EWOKS LAUGHING) -Oh...

What're you afraid of, Paploo?

It's only Mring Mring the Gupin.

I knew that.

What do you think I am? A lurdo?

Oh, no, Paploo. We'd never think that.

How about some more changes, Mring Mring?

All right, now remember, I need your help.

Everyone has to concentrate to help me transform, okay?

Okay, go! Oh... That's it.

That's it!

(SPEAKS EWOKESE)

WICKET: Ee Chee Wa Wa.

Oh... What? Whoa! What's happening?

(BLOWS AIR)

Whoa!

-(GASPING) -Yubnub!

He landed over there.

What is this place?

PAPLOO: There he is. In a Reap's nest!

Help!

-Hang on, we'll save you. -PAPLOO: Hurry, before a Reap comes.

-(REAP SCREECHING) -(WICKET EXCLAIMS)

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

(EXCLAIMING)

KNEESAA: This way, Teebo!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

So long, Reaps.

KNEESAA: Are you guys all right?

That was close.

Sure, no Reap can get the better of me.

I wasn't so sure, Paploo.

-I thought we were finished. -Ooh.

So did I, Ewok. Whee! (GIGGLES)

ALL: Huh?

Few minutes more and I'd have been dinner for those Reaps.

Oobel?

-Mring Mring! -Oobel, my brother.

I found you at last!

(WICKET CLEARING THROAT)

MRING MRING: Oh, I'm sorry.

Brother Oobel, meet Teebo, Kneesaa, Wicket and Paploo.

At your service.

Pleased to meet you.

Thanks for your rescue.

Whoa! Whoa!

-(THUDS) -(GRUNTS)

Oobel, are you all right?

Yes.

I'm afraid my flying is not very good these days.

Mring Mring, have you noticed your Gupin powers failing lately?

Why, yes. That's what caused me to fly into that Reap's nest.

You flew?

You mean you've finally grown your wings?

No. No, I'm still wingless. An outcast.

That's not true.

If you would only return with me.

MRING MRING: Never.

You know the others would only make fun of me.

Well, if you've noticed your powers failing as I have,

it's because the time of the renewal ceremony is at hand.

Of course, I should've realized.

Renewal ceremony?

Yes, the opening of the Juniper Chest.

What's the Juniper Chest?

The Juniper Chest is the center of Gupin life.

It holds energy which allows us to fly and change shape.

(EXCLAIMING)

(THUDS)

When the chest is opened, our Gupin powers are refreshed.

But this time, there may not be a ceremony.

What? Why not?

As you know, when you left our homeland, Uncle Mef succeeded Father as our ruler.

But now our cousin Punt has proclaimed himself to be king.

Punt? What has he done?

Well, it all started shortly after he assumed the throne.

The Grass Trekkers wereon the war path again.

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

And I spotted them headingtowards our fortress.

But it was too late toprepare our defenses.

They forced their way into the stronghold.

Our brave King Punt was terrified.

The people had no one to lead them.

And Punt, coward that he is,

gave the Trekkers the keyto the Juniper Chest.

In doing so, he sealed our doom.

The Grass Trekkers returned to their land

knowing that if we cannot open the chest for the renewal ceremony,

our powers will be lost,

and we will be defenseless.

Mring Mring, you must return with me.

You can prevent this.

What can I do?

One wingless Gupin against an entire tribe of Grass Trekkers?

You know what the ancient prophecy says.

Ancient fairy tales, you mean.

What does the prophecy say, Oobel?

It says that one day a Gupin will come

who can open the Juniper Chest without the use of the key.

And this hero will become the greatest king our people have known.

(EWOKS EXCLAIM IN EXCITEMENT)

I don't want to hear your fairy tales, Oobel.

But I will help you retrieve the key.

And so will we.

No! It's too dangerous.

Mring Mring, you saved my father's life, remember?

You have to let me repay your kindness.

And besides, you're our friend.

Chak!

We'll consult the elders and then we can get moving.

(BUZZING)

TREE: Mmm. (GULPS)

WICKET: According to Master Logray, this river will take us to the grasslands.

Oobel, do you believe there is a Gupin

who can open the Juniper Chest without a key?

Yes, and he will become the greatest king of all.

Hey, I've been thinking, what if I was to open that chest?

Then you would become king of the Gupins, Paploo.

Really? Just think, King Paploo.

Oh, Paploo.

Hmm...

Uh...

(ALL LAUGHING)

(WATER SPLASHING)

Hey, gang, look.

It's the great Paploo, king of the river raft.

(ALL LAUGHING)

How goes the fish hunt, O Great Paploo?

(SPEAKS EWOKESE)

Dangar! Look!

PAPLOO: Ee Chee Wa Wa! Waterfall! KNEESAA: Oh!

Paddle backwards! Paddle!

(GRUNTS)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

PAPLOO: We're going over.

(PANTING)

Blankets, everyone think of blankets.

PAPLOO: What?

Good thinking, Mring Mring. Come on, everyone, concentrate.

(GASPS) Oh, no!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Whoa!

Good work, Ewoks.

The river ends here.

We'll go the rest of the way on foot.

(PAPLOO GRUNTS)

How are we supposed to find our way through this?

Welcome to the Endorian grasslands.

(SIGHS) Are they not beautiful?

Yeah. Love the view.

Oobel and I know the way.

-(RUMBLING) -What?

What's that?

Grass Trekkers! Quick! Away from the canoes!

(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING)

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

-(KNEESAA GASPS) -Ee Chee Wa Wa!

Those are the Grass Trekkers?

(SPEAKS EWOKESE)

You didn't tell us they were that big.

Well, you didn't ask.

(SPEAKS EWOKESE)

Come on, you guys, get serious.

Time is running out for our friends here.

WICKET: We have such a long way to go yet.

Wait here.

What's he up to?

-(CHANTING) -WICKET: Hey, Teebo!

KNEESAA: Gosh, Wicket.

He's calling someone or something.

-(CREATURES WARBLING) -PAPLOO: Huh?

Oh, great! He's called the Grass Trekkers back.

Teebo, get back in here quick!

Oh, Teebo!

PAPLOO: Yow!

What in the world are those?

TEEBO: Goopa, Mechants.

Ewoks, Gupins, I'd like you to meet the Mechants.

They've agreed to help us get to the Gupin stronghold.

Is everybody ready to ride?

Well, I, (CHUCKLES) um, guess it's better than walking.

(BUZZING)

(PAPLOO GROANING)

Here's where we split up.

Look.

Directly ahead is the Gupin stronghold,

and over there is the Grass Trekker shrine.

MRING MRING: That's where the key is.

Mring Mring, you go on ahead and warn the other Gupins.

We'll try and get the key from the Trekkers.

All right, Oobel. Good luck.

Thanks.

We'll need all the luck we can get.

Arandee! I've got an idea.

Okay, Mechant, we're ready.

(WARBLING)

Great. Now let's cover him with this grass.

(PAPLOO GRUNTING)

And there you have it, folks. One gangly Grass Trekker.

(CHUCKLING)

Brilliant! Nice going, Teebo.

-(GRUNTS) -(THUDS)

(LAUGHING)

TEEBO: Thanks, Paploo.

(WIND HOWLING)

(ROARING)

There. That's the entrance to the shrine.

Ready, Paploo?

Yeah, yeah. I must be out of my mind.

Hey, Grass Trekkers! Over here, you lurdos.

Come and get me!

(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING)

Oh, boy.

Whoa!

Yikes!

(YELLING)

Go, Paploo! Go!

Hurry, Teebo!

KNEESAA: (SPEAKS EWOKESE) Your home is well protected.

Yes, it was built very long ago to keep the Grass Trekkers out.

They are a very old enemy.

Always before, we've had a strong leader to rally our defenses.

But now, since Father died, there has been no one.

(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING)

(EXCLAIMING)

Ee Chee Wa Wa!

The key is up at the top. Come on!

Yow!

Oh, no! Here come some more.

Whoa!

And more!

(EXCLAIMS IN EWOKESE)

I'm surrounded!

(ROARING)

(HORNS BLOWING)

Huh?

OOBEL: A-ha!

Do you see it?

Yes, but it's attached to the rock by a chain of stone.

If I just had something to break it with.

Ah, there!

(GRUNTING)

Got it! Let's go.

Whoa!

TEEBO: Paploo!

We've got the key. Let's go!

Hey, what's going on?

OOBEL: They're heading for the Gupin fortress.

The Trekkers are on their way for the final attack!

Quick! Hop on! I know a way we can pass them unseen.

Hurry, Mechant!

(MECHANT WARBLING)

Thank you, Mechant.

(MECHANT WARBLING)

KNEESAA: Mring Mring. MRING MRING: Yes?

Before we go any further,

Wicket and I want to say that we feel a Gupin hero does exist.

And we're sure that if he could just believe in himself,

he'll find a way to save his people.

You and Oobel have such faith in me.

I don't know if I could live up to your expectations.

-(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING) -Oh, no! Look!

(KNEESAA GASPS)

(SPEAKS EWOKESE)

Look at them all.

I have to help my people.

Gupins! Open the door! Hello?

-Look! -Oh!

WICKET: Oobel, Teebo, Paploo, they made it!

And they've got the key.

Open this door!

GUPIN GUARD: Who goes there?

-Invaders! -Leave at once.

We're not invaders. I am Mring Mring. We've come to help you.

Mring Mring the wingless?

Ha!

Too bad.

Punt the Magnificent has barred all entrance.

Go away! We're busy.

It is the hour of the renewal ceremony.

Arandee, Gupins. I am Princess Kneesaa of the Ewoks.

We've come to save you from the Trekkers.

We have the key to the Juniper Chest.

What? Unlock the doors!

Hurry, Oobel!

-(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING) -(BANGING ON DOORS)

KNEESAA: Phew.

Well, that should hold them for a while.

TEEBO: Wow.

This place is beautiful!

(MECHANT WARBLING)

(GUPINS CHATTERING)

Ah, home. It's good to be back.

So, Mring Mring the wingless, where's the key?

Here it is. We brought it back from the territories.

Good. Now keep out of the way, outcast.

OOBEL: You can't open that chest, Punt!

You were never meant to use that key.

Let him try, brother. Every Gupin has that right.

Spoken like a true king, my friend.

(BANGING ON DOORS)

We've got to try and barricade that door. Come on!

Hop to it, Gupins. Grab those logs.

Wicket, Teebo, give me a hand.

(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING)

(HORNS BLOWING)

Okay, Mring Mring. Be ready.

Behold, Gupins, the sacred key!

And behold your rightful king as he now opens the chest.

(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING)

-TEEBO: Oh! -(PAPLOO STRAINING)

Whoa!

Come on, Punt, quit wasting time.

(STRAINING)

-(GRASS TREKKERS ROARING) -Oh!

(LOUD BANGING)

Mring Mring, go ahead. We can't wait!

(STRAINING)

(KNEESAA GASPS)

Oh, no! Its broken!

PAPLOO: Look out!

(YELLING)

(ROARING)

(GASPS)

(GUPINS EXCLAIMING AND SCREAMING)

You can do it. You've got to believe!

I've got to try.

(SCREECHING)

MRING MRING: Gupins, transform.

(GUPINS GROWLING)

(SCREECHING)

Well, at least you won't have to worry about those guys anymore.

TEEBO: As long as Mring Mring is around anyway.

(GUPINS CHEERING)

Well, it looks like fairy tales sometimes come true, eh, brother?

Not that I ever doubted them, though.

I knew you were a leader the day you were born.

And speaking of leaders, what shall we do with this one?

Cousin Punt, you have been ambitious and greedy,

but I have decided your ability to take charge shall not go unrewarded.

And so, I'll make you third in command next to Oobel.

GUPINS: Hurray! Hurray!

All hail the new king!

Let the celebration begin!

Honored guests, you will rejoice with us, of course.

We would be most honored, Your Majesty.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)

Oh.

Ooh, wow.
