(adventurous music)

(peaceful music)

(laughing)

Whoa!

Look at me, mom!

By the time dad gets home,

I'll be the best horseman in Ithaca.

I do believe you're right.

(groaning)

There once was a day when I could

chop down an entire forest without breaking a sweat.

Maybe so, but now it's time for you to step aside

and let the new generation take over.

On the other hand, maybe you should leave

that kind of work to the real men.

(laughing)

Watch.

Youch!

(chuckling)

Stand back lad, I may not be the young rooster

I used to be, but I've got a few feathers in my tail yet.

Better mind they don't get ruffled then

you old washed up fossil.

Tasty looking ship you got there,

mind if we borrow it from you for say,

10 years or so? (laughing)

Over my dead body.

(groaning)

(gasping)

- [Dates] No!

That sounds like Dates.

No, not my ship.

Please don't take her away.

Sorry we can't take you as well,

but there's no room.

Drop your weapons you villainous curs!

Scat or I'll shoot!

Cool! Cool!

Oh thank you sir, you are my absolute hero.

(kissing)

Bellero's the name.

I'm pleased to meet you, whoever you are.

Incredible, I never would have believed

that I would get the chance to assist

the world famous Ulysses.

Please, come with me to my abode.

This is cause for celebration.

That's very kind Bellero, but we've got a long way

to get back to Ithaca and--

But I can help with that too.

I have rare maritime maps which may show you the way.

(laughing)

Please, make yourselves at home

while I see to our refreshments.

(ominous music)

Everything's going according to plan.

They don't suspect a thing.

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched, my son.

Ulysses is smarter than you think.

Have you followed my instructions?

Of course I have, father.

Why can't you ever trust me?

Stop being a baby Bellero.

Now go back to your guests before they get suspicious.

- [Philo] Oh, most magnificent Pegasus.

The winged magician that makes even Olympus accessible.

And Ithaca as well.

Oh we could fly high above the seas

and thumb our noses at Poseidon wallowing down below.

(suspenseful music)

(screaming)

(laughing)

Huh?

Aren't you thirsty?

Yeah I am, but I've got a bad feeling about this place.

My fondest dream is to catch that winged horse.

If I had Pegasus, I could do anything.

Most of all, I could finally prove my worth to my father.

Bit of a hard taskmaster isn't he?

My dear companions, I'd like to take this opportunity

to sound the bugle for our host, master Bellero.

But now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm gonna faint.

(laughing) Bellero!

What kind of a sick game is this!

I'm sorry, but my father ordered me to capture you.

I see you've met my son, Bellero.

And once you wake up, it will be my pleasure

to introduce you to another close family friend,

(laughing)

the warrior eating monster known as the Chimera.

(groaning)

It looks like we're in for it this time.

Don't worry Nisa, we're not Chimera chow yet.

In fact, if my idea works, it should give you

just enough time to stage your own escape,

and come rescue me.

You'll really help me catch Pegasus?

Absolutely, if in return you let my companions go free.

But it's impossible!

Pegasus lives beyond Chimera's territory.

No one who's gone there has ever returned.

Maybe so, but this is the

conquerer of Troy you're talking to.

Even your own divine dad had trouble

getting me into his net.

That's just it, if my father finds out

about this he'll feed me to the gulls.

He doesn't need to know.

Anyway, you're the one who captured us, not him.

So technically we're your captives, not his.

Hmm, that's true.

Okay, it's a deal, one one condition.

We take the girl, she's my security.

Just in case you decide to drop me

just when things start heating up.

What!

That's crazy, we can't take a child

on a mission like this.

I've given my word, that should be enough.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Welcome to Chimera land.

The monster destroyed this village

as its own special way of saying hello.

(snarling) (screaming)

- [Diomedes] Ulysses is counting on us to rescue him

from Bellero and that Chimera beast!

But we have to escape before we can do it.

I think I might have an idea.

Oh.

Ah, I've got it.

- [Bellero] Get away you disgusting beasts!

Keep calm, if they know you're frightened they'll attack.

(snarling)

They won't budge, it's no good.

Get back down here you little wuss!

You call yourself the son of a God,

but you can't shoot an arrow or something!

Okay okay, I'm trying!

Hey!

I've seen sailors do this.

You can bend the bars inwards by twisting it 'round.

Nice work superhero!

Hey, let's just thank our

lucky stars it wasn't the Chimera.

(ominous music)

I've heard there's a hidden valley up this way

where Pegasus likes to graze.

(hooting)

What's up?

This isn't a good time to start showing off, you know.

(serene music)

Ouch!

I've got him, I've got him!

(horse neighing)

Wow, there goes our main man.

Big pull won't work for me.

In that case let's go jump on

the guards and swipe the keys.

(suspenseful music)

(loud growling)

Oh no.

It's the C C...

Chimera!

How come monsters always look easier

to defeat in paintings?

(growling)

(snoring)

Excellent, this way we can catch the guards off guard.

Wake up you idiots, you're being attacked!

Let's get out of here!

How can those companions always land on their feet,

while I am always stuck with such a bunch

of incompetent dorks!

If only the laws of the Gods permitted me

to deal with Ulysses myself!

What do you say we forget about the guards

and go rescue Ulysses instead?

- [Diomedes] My thought exactly.

(growling)

Oh this baby's a scorcher.

(screaming)

It's gonna take more than arrows

to get past this hot potato.

You two make a run for it, I'll create a diversion.

Huh?

- [Nisa] Ulysses!

Oh no!

Okay buster, fire when ready!

(yelling)

We've got to go back and help Ulysses!

Are you crazy!

That chimera's already eaten him by now,

and I don't wanna be there when it

comes looking for second helpings.

You horrible selfish boy!

Have you already forgotten that Ulysses just

saved your life three times in the past 10 minutes?

(screaming)

Well hello there Bellero, my son.

Taking a stroll, are we?

Father no, no, I was just trying to catch Pegasus and--

You're just a living failure, that's what you are.

Ulysses' friends have escaped from their cells!

I suggest you get after them fast.

(growling)

Wow, who'd have thought the conqueror of Troy

would end up as some monster's snack?

That chimera may be a ball of fire,

but it's scared of taking a bath?

Finally, luck is starting to run our way.

(frantic hooting)

Hurry up and spit it out, we don't have all day.

- [Zephyr] I think it's trying to warn us about something.

Of course, Nisa and Ulysses are in danger,

we've got to hurry!

(muffled yelling)

Nisa, why are you all tied up?

Get away!

It's a trap!

A trap?

(menacing laughter)

(horse neighing)

This is my own and only chance.

But how can I get close enough without scaring him away?

I'm sorry Nisa, I'm only following my father's orders.

And if he told you to throw yourself

into the chimera's jaws, would you do that too?

Orders or not, looks like you're

heading that way regardless.

Oh.

Wow, I never knew chickens could run so fast.

(growling)

Make a run for it children,

I'll take care of this monster myself.

It's just you and me chimera,

and pretty soon, it's just gonna be me.

(yelling)

(screaming)

Please!

Seems to me daddy's left you high and dry.

Ulysses?

You came back for us!

(laughing) that's it, come and get me!

(horse neighing)

And now, my hot headed friend, it's bath time!

You defiant wretch.

(yelling)

No!

Pegasus come back!

Stop that wailing you fool and finish him off!

You've got to be kidding.

This man just saved my life!

Which is a lot more than I can say

for my own dear old dad.

I am deeply hurt.

You don't honestly think I'd let that chimera

kill my own favorite son?

My only answer to that question is that,

as of today, your own favorite son is sailing alone,

and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

You ungrateful, disobedient little brat!

In that case, it's no more birthday presents

for you for the rest of eternity, oh no.

- [Bellero] There's no way I can eat all this by myself,

so you're really doing me a favor by taking it off my hands.

(laughing)

By the way, Ulysses,

you never told us how you caught Pegasus.

I had a stroke of luck.

I spotted him drinking in the river.

(horse neighing)

But in spite of that one wonderful ride,

it's best that a creature like Pegasus remain free.

You're right, he was the most

beautiful winged creature I've ever seen.

(hooting)

Excepting of course, my own very best,

and very handsome fined feathered friend.

(laughing)

(exciting music)
