(adventurous theme music)

(serene music)

Take that, you monsters.

And don't come back.

You know, mama.

It's hard fighting all these monsters by myself.

Do you think father's ever coming back to help me out?

Of course he is, my son.

By the time I finish my tapestry

we'll all be back together again.

I promise.

(people chattering)

(tense drum music)

(people shouting)

Look, the Greeks have given up the fight

and they sent this gift hoping we'll let them

run home in peace.

It's nice, but whatever happened to small is beautiful?

Ouch!

(people chattering)

We're in position, men.

Get ready.

Attack!

(dramatic music)

(yelling)

(growling)

(yells)

(metal clanging)

Oh, I haven't had this good a time in years.

Don't worry, old friend.

I won't let anyone spoil your fun.

(gasps)

Hey, that's cheating!

(yells)

(yelling)

Oh.

Uh.

(dramatic music)

- [Diomedes] Ulysses, look out for the horse!

No.

(thud echoes)

Wow, you're a pretty useful guy for a Greek.

(metal clanging)

Soldiers, we've finally won!

The war is over!

(men cheering)

Congratulate me, Poseidon.

I've won our bet.

- [Poseidon] Nice try, Athena.

But you're not even close.

What are you talking about?

Ulysses has conquered Troy and the war is over.

If you remember.

Ulysses must return to his home in Ithaca

to be considered truly victorious.

But what do you think this is if not a symbol of victory?

That may be, but Ulysses is nowhere near home.

(thunder crashes)

Goodbye, Athena.

I'll return when it's time for you to acknowledge

that I have won.

Owl, you must fly to Earth and warn Ulysses of his danger.

Don't worry, it's easy.

Just sit on his shoulder.

I'll do all the communicating.

But whatever you do, don't get the wrong person.

(Owl hooting)

Of course, I trust you.

You're not called a wise old owl for nothing, my friend.

(guitar strumming)

Oh, mighty gods.

The seas make gentle like a pond.

For brave Ulysses is homeward bound.

Oh, look at all that.

Figs, apricots, and Turkish delight.

That moron doesn't really expect the gods

to wolf down all that, does he?

(playful music)

Oh.

Nice spread, Philo.

Let's hope the gods have a sweet tooth

so they'll honor your prayers.

Don't worry, Ulysses.

It's a done deal.

I give you my word that we'll be home

in a couple of days at most.

(Owl hooting)

I'll do all the communicating.

But whatever you do, don't get the wrong person.

Since the gods don't seem to be too hungry,

I'd better make sure these goodies don't go to waste.

- [Athena] Not her.

Oh, dear.

There's been a change of plan.

Nisa, I need you to help me protect Ulysses.

Hey, stop that.

(hooting)

(thunder crashing)

(dramatic music)

(yells)

Ulysses, how am I supposed to steer through all this mess?

I can't see a thing.

(tense music)

Look over there!

A lighthouse!

Great, we can use it to steer by.

No, it's a trap!

You've got to head out to sea.

Where did you come from, little one?

Wait a minute.

I remember you.

(yells)

Man the oars.

We've got to back off the reef.

(grunting)

(thunder crashing)

I don't believe it.

The lighthouse is moving.

(gasps) (Titan growls)

Look out!

(yelling)

Huh?

I've seen some nasty reefs in my time,

but this one beats all.

Praise the gods for sparing our lives

and our possessions, too.

Grub.

Good old Titan.

He already sniffed out our next meal.

(birds chirping)

Whoa.

(tense music)

And I thought you were big.

Hmm.

Our host may be large,

but he seems to have an ear for music as well.

(Titan grunting)

Oh.

Since that owl zapped me with sparkle dust,

my luck's gone from bad to worse.

Troy under siege was rotten enough,

but getting stuck on this desert island is the worst.

(yells)

(hooting)

Oh, no.

With that same neurotic bird to boot.

Oh.

Huh.

Look what the waves washed in.

(gasps)

(tense music)

(panting)

(yells)

(yelling)

(groaning)

This is too weird.

But at least Ulysses is alive.

Now, all I have to do is find him.

Don't you have somewhere to go?

(Owl hooting)

(grunting)

(footsteps booming)

Everyone take cover.

I want to check out our host before we introduce ourselves.

Okay by me.

- [Ulysses] Look.

(both yell)

Where did you come from?

Huh?

Shh.

(stone scraping)

(sniffing) What's that smell?

Aha.

So, the castaways have already come visiting.

Are they still here?

(yelling)

Hmm, you're a strange one.

I wonder if you taste as different as you look.

He does, but it's a terrible difference.

Tough, stinky.

Hmm.

Okay, wiseguy.

I'll save him for dessert.

(Titan growls)

There.

That'll keep him out of trouble.

By the way.

You're not Ulysses, are you?

I wish.

He was with us when our ship went down,

but he didn't make it out alive.

Don't make me cry.

So, if you're not Ulysses, who are you?

My mama named me Nobody to inspire me

to work really hard to become somebody someday.

So, did you?

I'm still working on it.

In fact, I should be getting back to Ithaca

before my mama starts to worry about her little Nobody.

Forget your mama, Nobody.

From now on the only somebodies any of you will be

are my slaves.

(Owl hooting)

(Nisa grunting)

Okay, birdie.

I got the message.

Too bad you can't help me move this rock.

(grunting)

(stone scraping)

(footsteps booming)

Uly...

Just remember, Nobody.

If I do find Ulysses, you'll be in big trouble.

I can't see that monster and me

seeing eye to eye on anything.

I'm getting out of here.

(Owl hooting)

Hey, watch the tunic, beaky.

Okay, I'll do what I can,

but getting monocle man to move that rock won't be easy.

(tense music)

Well, son.

Have you found him yet?

He's men say he drowned.

You clot of a Cyclops.

I'm sorry.

What I meant to say is I know Ulysses is alive,

my dear boy, and he must be found.

But, Daddy.

I've looked for him everywhere.

Then, look some more.

Why do you think I gave you that magic eye?

No, no.

They said no.

And you believe them?

What have you got between your ears, rocks?

I won't play if you shout.

(gasps)

I'm sorry, son.

I didn't explain myself properly.

You see, being a god,

I'm not allowed to rub shoulders with humans.

That's why I need my favorite son to help me out.

What do you say?

Hmm.

Your favorite son?

Gee, Dad.

Why didn't you say so?

Don't get all slobbery on me.

Now, go find Ulysses and get rid of him.

(footsteps thudding)

(tense music)

(Cyclops humming)

Okay, beaky.

Keep your cool.

Here he comes.

Hey, would you mind turning out that light?

Some of us are trying to sleep.

Beg your pardon.

What are you doing here exactly?

Like I said.

I'm trying to get some shuteye.

So, why don't you just scram and play somewhere else?

Hey, wait a minute, Bigfoot.

You haven't seen Ulysses by any chance, have you?

You know Ulysses?

If you mean the Ulysses who told me to wait for him here

while he visited a cave, you better believe it.

A cave?

What a coincidence.

Would you recognize him if you saw him again?

Of course I would.

He's my brother.

In that case, I'll take you to him right away.

Climb on.

Thanks a million.

See?

I told you it would go the way I planned.

What was that you said?

I was telling my owl to hurry up.

Sometimes this old feather duster needs a bit of a nudge.

(tense music)

There was six of us onboard.

The other four ended up in Cyclops' stomach.

There's got to be a way out of this cave.

My ship is moored in a creek

around the other side of the island.

(yells)

(footsteps booming)

I've got a surprise for you.

Ulysses!

Please, tell me I'm dreaming.

My darling brother.

Play along or we've had it.

I thought I'd lost you forever.

That's not Ulysses.

He's been here for months and his name is Zephyr.

That's right.

Zephyr Ulysses.

Mom and pop have been so worried about you.

(grunts)

What are you trying to do get me eaten alive?

You're so cute when you're mad.

- [Cyclops] I'm keeping you prisoner with the others.

Now, I'm going to bed.

- [Ulysses] What, on an empty stomach?

I'm not hungry.

What if you need a snack during the night?

You're right.

I'll keep you with me just in case.

No, I think I'll take the musician instead.

You can sing me a lullaby.

Adieu, my friends.

And then, if I still can't get to sleep, I'll devour you.

- [Philo] Mama!

Quick.

Thanks to our little friend here,

we may have a chance of escaping.

Not so much of the little, if you don't mind.

You're right.

What's your name, companion?

Nisa companion.

♪ Close your eyes ♪

♪ Close your eye ♪

♪ Go to sleep my master ♪

(tense music)

(snoring)

(yawns)

(sniffing)

I know that smell.

How dare you try to escape.

You humans just became dinner.

Sorry, Cyclops.

But you don't leave me any choice.

Ow!

You broke my magic eye.

(Cyclops yelling)

Let's go!

Don't think you'll get away.

(sheep bleating)

Even though I have to wait for my dad

to make me a new magic eye, I can still smell you.

We've got to hide.

Where?

(sniffing)

(sheep bleating)

Yoo hoo, tiny humans.

Where are you?

Get back here at once!

(Owl hooting)

My ship's over that way.

There she is.

Praise the gods that my beauty is safe and sound.

Help me, Father.

I can't see.

Who did this to you, son?

Nobody did.

What do you mean?

Did you do it?

No, of course not.

Nobody did it.

We can't budge.

The wind is blowing the wrong way.

In that case, there's only one way off the island.

Cyclops!

Oh, Cyclops!

Where are you?

That's him.

The one who did this to me.

Nobody.

Ulysses.

Ulysses, Nobody.

What's important is that I'm down here

and you can't catch me.

Are you going to let that blasted human

make a fool out of you?

(grunting)

May the gods protect us.

(Ulysses laughs)

(cheering)

Thanks to that strong outgoing tide,

there's nothing but open ocean between us and our home.

You mind if I tag along for the ride?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Don't worry, son.

I'll fix you up with a brand new magic eye.

Better than ever.

But as for you, Ulysses.

Try as you might, you will never reach your home.
