- Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming

and I'm not really here.

I really miss school and playing with all my friends.

(sighing)

Better see if Mother has some chores for me to do.

At least the animals are happy;

they're not homesick at all!

They don't mind being here.

It's like they've lived here forever.

- Hi, Becca!

- You finished already?

Oh, what a work of art that is, Mother.

- Now the roosters and hens

have their own place to sleep.

All that's left to do is to add some hay in there.

Will you help me?

- [Becca] Sure I will!

Oh boy, I hope they lay lots of eggs!

- And then we can have eggs for breakfast.

- Oh my, I'd give anything for a huge apple pie.

Oh!

Or even some chocolate would be nice.

- You two just finished your lunch.

- Mother, I'm getting tired

of eating the same thing all the time.

- Mm-hmm.

- (giggling) This is a really nice hen house.

Isn't it great that they don't have to be

in a cage with wire netting?

- Yes, it's fortunate they can move around so freely.

- Uh-huh.

- How about the three of us going on a picnic?

- You mean it?

Yay!

- Yes, but this picnic will be a special scavenger hunt.

- Oh boy!

That would make me happy!

Yahoo!

Yay!

We're going on a picnic!

(laughing)

- Let's gather together what we'd like to bring.

- [Becca] And we can look for new kinds of food to eat.

- That's right.

(laughing)

- [Fritz] Nothing out there but the deep blue sea.

We're thousands of miles from nowhere.

Ah, this place is endless,

like its own universe.

- Our only choice is to climb up

to the top of the mountain.

It'll be difficult, are you up for it?

- Oh, I say let's do it,

no matter how hard it may be.

There could be people living up there

on the other side of the mountain

and maybe we'll even find a fishing village.

I bet they've rescued everybody from the life rafts.

In fact, they're probably all worried about us now.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, let's head out, son.

Ready?

(laughing)

- Whoo!

Jack, catch up to me!

- Becca, wait!

Not so fast, we can't keep up with you, slow down!

- You slowpokes!

- Oh, why do you insist on running off

by yourself, young lady?

This is not Switzerland.

This happens to be a jungle

and we might encounter all kinds of terrible animals

or insects, so please don't go off by yourself ever!

- But I thought this was to be a picnic.

- It's an expedition,

and it's very important that we all stick together,

especially when leaving our camp site.

If we are to stay here for a long time,

we have to look for a place to farm

and another to live on.

One safer than our present camp site

in case we're flooded by a storm.

There are a lot of things to be settled

and if anything ever happened to you,

I'd never forgive myself as long as I live, never!

- Don't worry, Mother.

Everything's going to turn out fine.

You can count on me!

Why don't we continue now on our journey?

Besides, there's nothing here,

not even flowers.

We've got to walk further into the woods for that.

Brewster!

Wait up, wait for me!

- Oh!

Becca, you didn't listen to a word I said!

- I did too!

(sighing)

- Mom?

- You're being so good,

you're not giving me any trouble.

- Mm!

(giggling)

- Oh!

Oh! Uh!

Icky spider web!

Well that sure was disgusting.

What a pretty flower.

I wonder what would happen

if I ate the honey off it?

(groaning)

- Oh Becca! - She passed out!

- Hmm.

Better not risk it.

I guess flowers are just meant to be picked.

(gasping)

Why, that's the biggest caterpillar I've ever seen!

Hmm!

- Becca?

Where are you?

This is no time for games!

Brewster?

Where is Becca?

Go find her!

Becca!

- [Becca] Here I am! (gasping)

- Where have you been?

- Are you angry?

- Of course I am!

I don't want you running away from me.

- All right.

I have a surprise for you, Mother.

- You have something for me?

- Mm-hmm.

Here!

(screaming)

(giggling)

- It's not funny!

I don't like it when you try to frighten me!

(screaming)

(sobbing) (giggling)

Oh!

- Oh, he's just a harmless insect.

I'm really sorry, Mother,

I didn't think you'd get that scared.

(crying)

- Mama!

- [Mother] Oh, it's all right, I'm just so worried.

- Ah!

The air feels so fresh!

- And it smells so wonderful.

Becca, look at these fruit trees.

What do you think they are?

- Do you think we can eat them?

Oh, they look so big and juicy, can we try one?

- I don't know if they're edible.

We have to be very careful with strange fruit.

I wonder what they could be.

- [Becca] Do you think they're poisonous?

- [Mother] That's why we must be careful.

- [Jack] I'm hungry, Mama!

Please let's have one.

(grunting)

- Wait Mercedes, come back!

- Mercedes!

Oh, I know you're famished, little one,

but you're going to have to be patient, all right?

Oh! - Oh no!

Not again!

I hope you're not getting poisoned, Mercedes!

- [Jack] Mercedes!

(squeaking)

- Oh!

(squeaking)

I've got to taste one! - No! Becca!

You be careful!

- I'll be all right, Mother.

(screaming)

- Ah!

- Hey, look at me!

No hands! (giggling)

- Honestly, Becca, you must be the silliest girl

in the whole world.

- Silly, but smart.

Here, catch this, Mom!

- Oh, all right, Becca.

Mmm!

This will surely make a fine lunch.

- I can't wait!

This has to be the prettiest fruit I've ever seen!

- [Mother] Here's yours, Brewster.

- This sure tastes yummy.

- Mm!

Mm, I think this is the best fruit

I've ever tasted.

- Too bad Fritz and Dad can't be here.

- Yes it is, but I'm not worried about them being hungry.

You know your father is a good hunter.

- Wouldn't it be great to have strawberries for dessert?

- I want some, too.

- Oh!

Does that mean that we have to hunt

for strawberries too, now?

(laughing)

- [Becca] Little did we know that Father and Fritz

had a lot more on their minds

than looking for food.

(grunting)

(shouting)

- Oh, Fritz!

Fritz!

(groaning)

- I'm all right.

- Does anything feel like it might be broken, son?

- I don't know, but my hand feels swollen.

- Let me see.

(groaning)

Hold on.

(grunting)

I don't think anything is broken,

but it'll hurt for some time.

- Now I know what facing tough odds really means.

I don't think we'll find a way out of here, Father,

it's hopeless.

We're surrounded by the sea on all sides.

- Fritz, we must never give up hope.

We must keep our spirits up.

- This is an uninhabited island!

There's nobody else living here, nobody!

- [Dr. Robinson] We don't know that.

- Nobody's here but us

and dangerous animals who can't wait to capture us.

- We can't jump to any conclusions

until we further explore this place.

Let's give it one more try, Fritz, hmm?

- [Fritz] All right.

(panting)

- Brewster, slow down!

You're going too fast for me, wait up!

(panting)

I'm pooped out, I need a break!

- So you finally found someone

who can run faster than you.

- But he's bigger than I am.

I think I'll take a nap now.

(moaning)

- [Mother] I think we can all use a nap.

This seems like a good spot.

- A short nap.

- And after that we'll start back.

I don't want us to stray too far.

- But we haven't found any other food

to bring back to our camp!

- We got to see papayas for lunch, didn't we?

Look up!

What a marvelous tree!

- It is!

- [Mother] The roots run all the way up.

- [Becca] It looks like it's very old.

- [Mother] I suppose it is.

- Ha.

It looks like a monster.

And it's almost as tall as the sky.

I want to climb up and explore its roots.

It looks like a mysterious castle.

- [Mother] No, it looks too risky,

you might hurt yourself.

- I might find some food up there, Mother.

- I don't care.

(gasping)

- [Jack] Oh, Mercedes!

Come back, it's too high!

- Well that's that.

I'll get him down!

Whee!

- No young lady, you are not to go up there!

Oh!

That girl is too stubborn,

she has a mind of her own.

You'll get hurt! - It's all right, Mother,

I'll be fine.

(grunting)

(grunting)

- Are you all right?

- I just have to catch my breath!

(gasping)

You won't believe what's up here, Mother!

It's like a beautiful treehouse

and there's moss everywhere

covering the ground like a carpet.

You should come up and see it!

Maybe we could build a new campsite here.

- [Mother] That would be very impractical,

I couldn't even climb up there.

- [Becca] We could build a ladder for you.

It'd be easy!

- It's out of the question,

and besides, there could be poisonous insects

and who knows what else crawling around up there.

- But I checked it out and it's really safe up here, honest!

It'd be a perfect place for us to live.

I want to live up here!

- You're making me nervous!

Don't be jumping around like that.

(giggling)

- I'm the queen of the castle, la la la la la la!

La la ba ba ba!

La la la la la (screaming).

- Becca!

Oh my goodness!

Becca, don't be playing with us!

- Where's Becca?

- She's not answering us!

Becca, if this is a game, it's not funny!

Oh!

Becca!

Can you hear us?

- [Jack] Rebecca!

- I don't know where she could've disappeared to.

Oh!

Becca, please answer your mother, please, dear!

(crying)

My poor child!

Oh please God, help my child!

- Oh!

- Becca, are you able to hear me?

Did you fall inside the trunk of the tree?

- Where am I?

Did I pass out?

I must've fell from up there!

- Becca, can you move?

Are you all right?

- I'm not hurt!

I didn't break any bones,

but I can't figure out how to get out of here.

- Oh, I was afraid this would happen!

Becca, listen carefully.

I'm going to go back to the camp site to get some tools.

(screaming) Be patient for a while,

OK dear?

- Hurry right back!

- Don't move, Becca!

- [Jack] I don't wanna leave her alone!

- I don't, either!

It will be dark soon and difficult to come back.

If only I could find something to hoist her with.

Why of course, that's it!

We'll make a rope!

I'll cut some of the vine off the tree

and pull her up with it.

Don't worry, Becca, I'll get you out of there in no time.

Just be strong a little bit longer, all right?

(grunting)

(grunting)

There, that should do it.

- [Jack] Are you OK in there, Becca?

(grunting)

- Oh my!

This vine is too stiff,

I can't throw it like a rope.

I'll have to think of something else!

(sighing)

Becca?

- I'm here!

- [Mother] I'm going to climb up the tree

and lower a vine rope to you and I'll pull you up with it.

- But you've never climbed a tree before!

- Well this is as good a time as any.

If you can do it, then I'll manage to get up there.

Somehow, I'll just take it step by step.

- Oh please be careful!

This is all my fault!

I promise when I get out of here I'll be a good girl!

- I hope so!

You always wanted me to climb up a tree, didn't you?

Well here I go!

- [Becca] Yes, but not on your own!

- Can I help?

- [Mother] No, I want you to be a good boy

and stay where you are.

(grunting)

- Grab the tree, Mama.

- God, please give me the courage to do this!

- Mama!

Please!

Hurry up! Mama!

- Why this isn't as difficult as I thought it would be.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Just a few feet more, step by step.

- I promise I'll never ever misbehave again, ever!

- [Mother] That's it, steady,

just concentrate and don't look down.

- [Jack] You're almost there, Mama.

- Oh my word!

I can't believe I climbed up here by myself!

- Oh Mother!

- [Mother] Becca, I'm going to throw down the vine,

so just put it around your waist

and knot it real tight and I'll pull you up, understand?

- All right, I've got the vine!

- [Mother] Now yank on it and tie it around your waist.

- All right, I did it, Mother!

- She was right.

It is nice up here.

I just hope I have the strength to pull her up.

- [Jack] Can you reach the sky, Mama?

- What, Jack?

- I'm ready, Mother,

you can start to pull me up!

- Don't let go of the rope!

My goodness I didn't realize you weigh so much, Becca!

Breathe in deeply!

I just hope the vine won't break.

(grunting)

We'll take it nice and easy, Becca,

easy does it.

- I can climb up the rope from here,

just keep pulling, I'm almost at the top.

(grunting)

- [Mother] I can only hold for a few more seconds!

- [Becca] (grunting) Almost there! (grunting)

- [Mother] Hurry, Becca!

(grunting)

- We did it!

- Oh, you're a sight for sore eyes!

- Mother, you saved me! - Oh, oh Becca!

Oh dear!

I can't imagine my life without you!

- I'm sorry, Mother!

(crying)

- Don't forget about me!

- I'm just glad you're alive.

We'll be right down!

(grunts)

- It's all right, Mother!

- Now I can say I've climbed up a tree,

but the truth is, now I'm scared to climb down.

(laughing)

(grunting)

- We're almost there, Fritz.

Come on!

A few feet more.

(grunting)

We just have to walk to the summit over there,

then we'll have a bird's eye view of everything.

Son, we've almost reach the end of our quest,

and then we can return back to our camp site

once we find out if this place is an island.

I'm proud of you, my son.

I'm glad you're here with me.

- [Becca] And so Father and Fritz

valiantly continued on the last step

of their expedition

after successfully facing many difficult situations.

It was truly a case of man against the forces of nature.

- I wish I had his courage.

- [Becca] Once they reached the summit,

their quest was over,

and it wasn't what they had hoped for.

For as far as the eye could see,

they were surrounded by the sea on all sides.

- Oh, it's what I was afraid of all along.

We'll never get out of here! (sobbing)

It's hopeless, we're doomed!

- That's not so.

- This place is an island

and what's worse, it's uninhabited!

We'll all perish like the Captain!

- It doesn't have to be the end.

God will help us, he has since we landed ashore, son.

We can live here quite comfortably until we're rescued.

Don't be discouraged.

It's just a matter of time

before a ship comes by to save us all.

- But nobody knows our family is even alive,

so nobody will even be out looking for any of us.

And I bet everybody on board

went down with the ship and there were no survivors.

Oh poor Emily, she was the best friend I ever had.

I miss her.

Emily, my dear friend! (sobbing)

Oh Emily!

- [Dr. Robinson] I know it's hard, son.

- [Becca] But God was caring for our family nevertheless.

They say for every sorrow there's a joy,

and happily, Mother, Jack and I

all reached our campsite safely.

(laughing)

- Oh, look!

What a nice surprise!

The cocks and the hens are resting on their perch!

I think they'll be real happy to see us!

Yahoo! - [Jack] Yay!

- Hello, my new friends!

Do you like your new house?

- Look!

- Oh golly!

- [Jack] Oh boy, more food to eat!

- What a nice job you did!

Mm-hmm.

Oh Mother, come and see!

- [Jack] I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

Omelet!

- [Becca] No, pancakes and I know how to make them.

- Well, I think we can work something out.

We'll have omelets for the main course

and then we'll have pancakes for dessert.

- OK, that's a good idea. - [Becca] And afterwards,

can we have papayas for our bedtime snack?

- [Mother] No dear, we'll save them for breakfast.

- [Becca] May we go on another picnic tomorrow?

- Only if you promise not to go falling

into any more trees.

(laughing)

- [Becca] I won't.

Once in a lifetime is enough!

(laughing)

- [Mother] Oh, Becca!
