Sylvie and the Wogglebug Movie

(soft music)

- As I was saying, we’re so pleased
you’ve come to a decision...

It’s a special day ...

when one of our little ones
gets chosen. ...

And Sylvie is a very special girl.

- We’ve waited so long for this.

- Sylvie can be shy at first, ...

but once she opens up,
she’s a delightful girl. ...

Quite clever too ...

She notices the smallest of details,
surprising us everyday with what she sees.

She sounds wonderful,
just like I was at that age. ...

My wife and I would be honored
to provide Sylvie a happy home.

- Why are you doing these things
to those stupid sunflowers?

- They’re not stupid,
they’re living things. ...

And we have to take care of them,

just like the staff here
takes care of us. ...

or they might fade away
and die before their time.

- You’re crazy!
Flowers can’t feel anything! ...

Besides, you shouldn’t sit
on the ground like that. ...

There are bugs down there you know.

- I’m not afraid of the bugs.
They can’t hurt me. ...

They know I respect them....

They are creatures
that help the flowers to live...

because they know about them
better than us. .

- Sylvie Harnois, you are so weird! ...

You treat bugs like they’re people!
No wonder nobody likes you.

(soft music)

Oh! Hello Mr. Bug.
Would you like to be my friend? ...

My! You have such a funny walk,
Mr. Bug ...

All kind of wiggly and woggly. ...

Maybe I should call you Mr. Woggle instead
(laughs) ...

There’s no need to be afraid of me,
Mr. Woggle ...

I like bugs.
Here, let me put you back on your home.

- Good morning children!

I have something special
planned today. ...

We’re going outside
to examine nature up close. ...

using these magnifying glasses. ...

You can study any object you like,
flowers, rocks, grass, insects. ...

The possibilities are endless!
I can’t wait to see what inspires you.

- What are you looking at?

- I’m looking at a bug woggling along!

- Oh! A wogglebug! Cool! ...

You discovered
a new species of insects! ...

Why did you do that?

- I don’t want the wogglebug
to get hurt. ...

or feel like his path is blocked
by a hard place. ...

from where he needs to go.

- How do you know ...

the wogglebug
needs to get any place at all?

- He must be
or he wouldn’t be out and moving ...

He also seemed sad and lonely
and needed my help.

- Hey! Wanna see something cool?

- Stop it! You're killing him!

- What happened here?

- (sobbing) Sylvie pushed me!

- Violence is never the answer, Sylvie.
You know better. ...

I’m afraid that’s a detention for you ...

Tell me child, why did you shove that boy?

- Because he was going to hurt my friend.

- Your friend? I see. ...

Well sometimes we must find
better solutions than violence. ...

But I understand your anger. ...

Tell me,
do you like books and stories? ...

Then I believe
I have just the thing for you. ...

This book needs an imaginative soul
to bring its pages to life. ...

I saved it
for a special little girl like you. ...

It’s yours to fill however you choose. ...

Trust your heart, and one day...

you’ll discover what that key unlocks...

- Look who it is.
The bug weirdo! ...

Did you get in trouble
for pushing that kid today? ...

I heard all about your freak out.

- Thought you could get away
with what you did to me?

- I didn’t mean to hurt you.
But you were hurting that poor bug!

- It’s just a gross bug!
Who cares? ...

But you actually pushed me!

- I saw it happen.
She’s totally psycho about bugs!

- Let’s see
what’s in that dumb book of yours. ...

Give it here!

(bells tinkling)

(Wogglebug humming)

- Hello? Who’s there? ...

I have very keen hearing,
so I know that there is someone here. ...

You needn’t be afraid of me.
I only want to help you if I can. ...

Ah! There you are!

Now tell me,
what are you doing so far from -- ...

Wait! Just a moment.
I don’t know you. ...

You’re not one of the children
from the village, are you?

- What village?

- No, not from the village,
most definitely not. ...

Still, I am sure

that there is an answer here somewhere ...
(clears throat)

Might I inquire your name, my dear child?

- Syl-Syl-Sylvie

- Well! Hello and good afternoon to you,
Sylsylsylvie ... (giggles)

My name is Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E.
It’s a pleasure to meet you. ...

There is no need to be afraid of me,
my dear. ...

I like children. In fact,
I like everyone! ... (giggles)

- What is this place we’re in?

- Oh, it’s the magical land of Genoma
where I live.

- I see.
And you, did you say you’re a Wogglebug?

- Yes, indeed, and proud of it. ...

Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E.,
to be precise. ...

The initials at the beginning
and at the end of my name ...

mean I am Highly Magnified
and Thoroughly Educated, ...

which I am also extremely proud to be ...
(giggles)

I’m just now on my way
to the castle of the Monarchs ...

of this very land itself.

- Why?

- Because I want to join society. ...

And what better way
to show their Majesties ...

that I can fit in? ...

What better way than now?

- What do you mean?

- I think I should relate to you
my history ...

so that you may be better able
to comprehend my status. ...

May I please sit with you?

- Yes, of course, please.

- I confess
I wasn’t always so big in size. ...

I was born as a tiny bug. ... (giggles)

But destiny had singled me out
for a greater fate!

♩ I was once a tiny bug
so very small you couldn’t see ♩

♩ I lived in a schoolhouse rug
as warm and safe as I could be ♩

♩ Every day I’d sit and listen
to professor Nowitall ♩

♩ I made it my special mission
to remember and recall ♩♩

- Everything is always interconnected
in some way. ...

It’s why it is called the life cycle
and spinning universe. ...

These values are all of which keeps
these in balance. ...

Knowing them by heart
helps us to be good ...

and intelligent people
for all our lives.

♩ Dear professor Nowitall
is a famous scholar ♩

♩ Greatest in Genoma
all would agree ♩

♩ I learned so much
it made me want to holler ♩

♩ But he never seemed to notice me ♩

♩ Year in year out,
all of the children ♩

♩ Listened to what he had to say ♩

♩ I guess it wasn’t too bewilderin’
that one day destiny came my way ♩♩

- My dear children,
I have a wogglebug I just found. ...

This is a very rare
and interesting specimen here! ...

Do any of you know
what a wogglebug is? ...

Then I shall bring out
my famous magnifying glass ...

and throw this insect onto a screen
in a highly magnified state...

For he is a unique one
who’s way of looking ...

and of living
are to be especially observed. ...

♩ That was when I learned
I was a Wogglebug ♩

♩ Professor Nowitall
gave me that name ♩

♩ I was so surprised
that I could only shrug ♩

♩ The children must have thought
it was a game ♩

♩ This was the first time
I saw the world ♩

♩ It all seemed so grand
I felt perplexed ♩

♩ As I watched the boys and girls
you won’t believe what happened next ♩♩

Behold! The Wogglebug!
Woggle is an ancient Genoman word ...

for wisdom and love
in a collective sense ...

and implies that it goes
one way or another ...

depending on which is emphasized most.
This insect was named the Wogglebug ...

because of its way
of moving about in such a way. ...

I would know as I created this insect.

- Why thank you for telling me that!
I never knew that before!

It is a little crowded and stuffy

being a flat image
on a screen. ... (giggles)

(student screams).

(footsteps ).

Dear me!
I did not mean to scare any of you. ...

I just want to be a friend to all. ...

Professor Nowitall
has taught me so much! ...

I just want to share his wisdom
with everyone. ...

But already I’ve made a mess of things.

- You are my proudest achievement,
I assure you. ...

You walk upright,
and speak and think ...

and feel in ways
only a human can ...

I must help you to get started out
in your new ways of life.

- Dear me, how late it’s getting!
Perhaps I should finish my story quickly.

♩ First of course we made sure
that the girl was not too hurt ♩

♩ And then professor Nowitall
dismissed them For the day ♩

♩ He took me by the arm
to which I acquiesced most gladly ♩

♩ And he led me to a tailor
who lived not too far away ♩

♩ Paid the tailor to create
this most resplendent clothing ♩

♩ So Genoma’s high society
I could try to ascend ♩

♩ And although he warned me ♩

♩ I might be met with fear
and even some loathing ♩

♩ I never will forget
what he imparted at the end ♩♩

- You look just splendid! ...

Remember always
that you are thoroughly educated, ...

and this enables you
to not just attain success ...

but to also accept any challenges
which come your way. ...

And never forget ...

you will always hold
a special place in my heart.

♩ And so I left to go to the palace
not knowing how my tale would end ♩

♩ I kneel before you with no malice
hoping that you will be my friend ♩♩

- Of course I will.
I’ll be your friend Mr. Wogglebug.

- Ah, my dear child, ...

you cannot imagine
how it feels to have a friend ...

for the first time.

- But you’re wrong, Mr. Wogglebug. ...

I know exactly how it feels for you. ...

You are also my first friend.

- Dear me!
I fear I have been most rude, ...

talking about myself for so long
when I should have been asking ...

about you too.
Where are you from, Sylsylsylvie? ...

I don’t recall seeing girls like you
in Professor Nowitall’s classroom.

- It’s just Sylvie, Sylvie Harnois.
I don’t know how I got here. ...

In fact, I don’t even know where I am. ...

Mr. Frank gave me this key ...

and I used it
on a picture in the attic. ...

The next thing I knew, I was here.

- Hmm. May I see it? ...

Ah! This key has an intriguing symbol
on its handle. ...

I know what it represents,
for Professor Nowitall talked about it ...

in several of his lectures.
Hmm. Where did you say you found this?

- Inside this book. ...

It made the picture glow
and opened a door inside the wall.

- Then you must not be
from around here at all! (giggles) ...

Do you think you are far away
from your home?

- Yes, I am. ...

And I don’t even know
why I came here at all! I’m lost!

- Now my dear, there’s no need to fret. ...

I promise if you stay by my side
I shall find a way for you ...

to safely return home.

- Really? You can?

Of course! ...

I am not thoroughly educated
for nothing you know! ... (chuckles)

I believe this key may be a clue
of how to figure things out.

- Really? Why?

- Because its symbol ...

represents the Seven Living Values
of Intelligence. ...

Now how do you spell your name?

- S-Y-L-V-I.

- Precisely! ...

The letters of your name
nearly spell out ...

the first of the letters
of each word of the key’s symbolism.

- It's true.

- Yes, indeed!
I recall Professor Nowitall saying ...

the S.L.V.I. when combined ...

can unlock a door to one’s destiny
of finding their personal belonging, ...

that is their home. ...

So I would be honored
if you will accompany me ...

to the Castle of Genoma.

- But why there?

- Because I feel for certain ...

it is the first step
in the right direction ...

of finding out more clues
in this puzzle of yours. ...

King Ethano is the very wisest
of all the kings Genoma has ever had, ...

and well he should be. ...

After all, he was personally tutored
by Professor Nowitall himself. ...

- You think a lot of the professor,
don’t you?

- I do indeed. ...

Professor Nowitall
is the wisest and kindest man ...

in all of Genoma. ...

In fact, it was he who suggested
I go to introduce myself ...

at King Ethano’s court ...

so I could become
an active and useful member of society. ...

He even suggested I take this road
instead of the usual trade road. ...

I would love for you to meet him, ...

but he lives miles
in the other direction ...

and we are only a short walk
from the castle. ...

And Sylvie, don't worry, ...

I am quite sure
you will find help there. ...

Let’s be on our way, shall we?

- I'm scared to go there.

- You’ll have me with you.
I am too well educated ...

to allow any little girl
to come to any harm. ...

Won’t you trust me, please?

- I trust you.

- Oh, my dear Sylvie, ...

I do believe this will be the start
of a beautiful friendship for us. ...

As well as a great adventure! (giggles)...

For our paths in life
seem to be connected as of now.

- Why do you think so?

- Because Professor Nowitall
told me to take this path. ...

Just imagine! ...

If I had taken the trade road
as I intended, we would never have met. ...

Yes, I can see
this is an omen of some sort. ...

You still seem uneasy though, Sylvie.
Is something wrong?

- Not really. ...

It’s just that everything
is so new and strange to me.

- Oh. I can understand that. ...

I’m sure I would feel the same way
in your world. ...

I hope I’m not causing you
any concern. ...

I don’t suppose
there are any six-foot tall insects ...

where you come from.

- No, there aren’t,
but that doesn’t bother me. ...

I’ve always liked insects ...

because they are a very important aspect
of nature. ...

I’m sure you are very much like them.
They help flowers and trees to grow. ...

All insects do in their own ways.

- The present company excluded! ...

I mean, it is kind of you
to appreciate us insects. ...

But I’m sure
you’ll think more highly of me ...

when you see my newly developed
intellectual prowess. ...

I am a very unique insect,
you know. (giggles)

- You must be the most unique person
in the world.

That I am, my dear, that I am!

♩ I am known as Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. ♩

♩ I’m as special and unique
as any wogglebug can be ♩

♩ I am as wise as any man
and I’m just as clever wait and see ♩

♩ For I’m highly magnified
and thoroughly educated as can be ♩

♩ I’m polite as most gentlemen
and I am as friendly as can be ♩

♩ For I am the one and only
H.M. Wogglebug T.E. ♩

♩ The worldly wise shall hold me dear
my destiny will be so clear ♩

♩ I am as happy as can be
I’m H.M Wogglebug T.E. ♩

♩ Oh yes it’s true a friend to you
a friend who’s true ♩

♩ And just as lovable as can be
yes that’s me can’t you see ♩

♩ Though I am a big bug
I still need a big hug ♩

♩ There’s naught to be afraid of
so give me a big hug just from you ♩

- Oh, I haven’t had a hug
since I left the tailor’s house! ...

I-I find giving hugs ...

are my favorite kinds of manners,
I think! ...

(trumpet blows)

Look, Sylvie,
there’s the amazing Castle of Genoma! ...

The kind and wise King Ethano
lives there. ...

If everything goes right,
I might get to live there too, ...

as the King’s helper! ...

Let’s go, Sylvie! ...

Up the steps
to see what exciting things ...

are waiting for us. ...

The castle is calling my name, ...
and I can’t wait to make new friends. ...

Off we go!

(footsteps clomping)

- Mr. Wogglebug, are there other
walking, talking bugs like yourself ...

in Genoma?

- (giggles) Nope. ...

(footsteps clomping)

- Your Majesties,
I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. ...

And this is Sylvie.
She has come from beyond Genoma. ...

This key, she says, brought her
to where I found her in the woods ...

across from here.

- This key bears the symbol ...

for the Seven Living Values
of Intelligence upon it, you know.

- Yes, I know. ...

That is because
I am thoroughly educated. ... (giggles)

And I felt when Sylvie showed it to me
that it was my duty to help her ...

to find her way
to return to where she came from.

- This you may be correct in,
Mr. Wogglebug. ...

I must keep the key with me for now
and see if it can open anything. ...

For now there is another important matter
at hand.

- And what is that your majesty?

- We are now holding a meeting
on this day ...

to decide which of our wisest nobles
and advisers are to be appointed ...

to our personal assistance.

- This decision is to be based upon
which of them knows ...

the most things of value
and has the best of all ...

of the Seven Living Values
of Intelligence.

- Which is the symbol on the key’s handle.

- Correct, Mr. Wogglebug.
And so I think you can see ...

why I have an inkling your presence here
may have have great significance. ...

As you say you are thoroughly educated,
aren’t you?

- Why yes! Of course I am! ...

You are right that my helping Sylvie
and being here now ...

must have great significance for all!

- Therefore, Mr. Wogglebug, ...

you may become acquainted
with the others ...

who’ve come on this important day
of ours. ...

I’m sure you will find them
most interesting.

- Thank you, Your Majesties!
This I shall do! ...

Come with me, my dear Sylvie, ...

for we may find out more clues
about the key from these folk. ...

Trust me,
there is no need to fear, Sylvie. ...

These folk are not much different
from how I myself am. ... (giggles)

Greetings to all of you,
my good fellows! ...

I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E.

I am a very versatile insect
of the highest degree. (giggles)

- (hoots) How do you do?
I am Dr. Hulan. ...

I come from a long branch
of many wise owls ...

who have been advisers
to Kings and Queen’s courts ...

for generations.

- Oh, I see. ...

It must be a hoot for you,
my good sir. (chuckles)

- Yes, It is. ...

One might say the same
about you as well! ...

- Hello. I am Lord Sprague. ...

I am an old goat,
but come from a long line of nobles ...

that had sprouted
from the first of the advisers ...

of Genoma’s monarchy!

- Indeed.
And no doubt well-versed ...

in the subtle art
of knowing when to butt in. (giggles)

- Hello to you, Mr. Wogglebug!
I am Sir Reynolds. ...

I am from a proud flock of high lords
and nobles of Genoma.

We Reynolds have always had
the word of the land under our wing. ...

- And even from such grand heights,
I’m certain you keep an eagle eye ...

on the petty details as well. (chuckles)

- Yes. Quite!
You certainly are versatile with much ...

as you said!

- Yes, indeed I am, thank you! ... (giggles)

I am able to notice
double meanings within words, ...

just as much as I can notice
the symbolism in letters of words.

- (chuckles) Come off it! ...

How can there be symbolism
within letters ...

and not just words or names!
(chuckles) Rubbish!

- Not so! ...

I mean, I know there is symbolism
in the letters of the first words

of the Seven Living Values of Intelligence,
just as a single symbol ...

holds them all together!

- The Seven Living Values
of Intelligence ...

almost spell out my name.
My name is Sylvie.

- Oh yes indeed!
This is Sylvie Harnois. ...

I am helping her
to find how to open a door ...

to her way out of Genoma with a key ...
with the symbol of S.L.V.I. on it.

- Well! Since you believe
there is symbolism in letters, ...

perhaps you can recite a phrase ...

using all of the letters
in the girl’s name?

- Oh, certainly I can!

Seven Years Learning
Verifies Intelligence. ... (chuckles)

Exactly!-

- Oh, very well done.

- I love it.

- Excellently put, I suppose.

- I am sure
someone with your intelligence ...

must have heard the buzz
around the court ...

about the Ancient Prophecies?

- I am quite familiar with them
from my time spent ...

with Professor Nowitall.

- Then do you know the one
about the Enchanted Forest? ...

It has been prophesied
that in time of peril ...

a stranger from a far land,

with the aid
of some mysterious magical creature ...

will inherit the means to bring together
the denizens of the forest ...

to create a living human tree
that will protect all who dwell there.

- Why, yes, I do indeed remember
hearing of such an ancient prophecy ...

about the Enchanted Forest.

But of what significance
do you think it has with me at this time?

- Hmm. Who can say? ...

I would advise you to go and find out
how much truth there is about it ...

if you can.

- Very well. I shall.

- (laughs) Well,
that should keep him busy for a while.

- I’m sure those fellows
must be quite interested in me ...

if they want me to look up such information
as this. ...

Only, where do I start to look?

- Look! This is the same painting
from my one that the key went into ...

and I went into next!

- Oh my word! Sylvie, ...

I do believe this brings me
to a most startling conclusion!

That is to say, ...

I have a theory now
based on this painting! ...

Come, for we must tell the others
out there at once!

- Oh, I swear to you, ...

the Wogglebug should never have come here
to join us! ...

He should know
there is no place for his kind ...

among us, being what he is!

- (laughs) I agree.
He is nothing but a fool! ...

If he had any real intelligence
he wouldn’t have come!

- Right you are!
If he knows what is good for him ...

he won't come to the meeting ...

because he really doesn’t belong here
at all, ...

he’s not really one of us.
He is a bug!

(soft music)
(M.r. Wogglebug sobbing)

- What is this?
Water is dripping from between my eyelids!

- You’re crying. ...

That is what happens
when you’ve been hurt.

(M.r. Wogglebug sobbing)

- I don’t understand.
I just don’t understand! ...

I thought they would like me!
I don’t know what is wrong with me!

- Nothing is.
You’re the smartest, kindest bug I know.

- Then I am so confused
by the things they said about me! ...

There must be some way
to really prove to them ...

that I am worthy of their respect!

- Of course you can.
Remember what you told to me? ....

You said my name spells
the Seven Living Values of Intelligence.

- Yes, indeed! And the S.L.V.I.
will lead you to unlock the door ...

to your destiny, and personal belonging!
As my Professor Nowitall had said! ...

Of course! I should have remembered!
Oh, Forgive me. ...

I forgot I knew for a
moment what I must do! ...

Come with me! ...

For the Monarchs must learn
what I know I can do! ...

Your Majesties, I beg of you
to postpone this meeting of yours ...

until after I have at least tried
to achieve a great act. ...

For I now have discovered clues
of how I may do so!

- What have you got on your mind
to accomplish, Mr. Wogglebug?

- I feel I may have made
a great discovery ...

that the prophecy
in the Enchanted Forest ...

may be true after all

and needs
to come into fertile being now. ...

I wish to go there now with Sylvie
to see if I can be proven right.

- You have quite the intellect indeed
to have perceived ...

that which I hoped to keep secret.
The Enchanted Forest is indeed in danger.

- But why keep it a secret?

- There is an evil wizard named Antibo
who is attempting ...

to bend the laws of nature to his will.
If he succeeds there, ...

he intends to inflict his will
on the entire kingdom of Genoma.

- But that’s horrible!

- It is indeed. ...

Should the citizens find out,
there could be a panic.

- Who is this Antibo anyway?

- Ugh! This travel spell is so hard
on my sinuses. Ugh! ...

Your Majesties! I was meddling about
in the Enchanted Forest ....

when I got the distinct impression
that I was being talked about. ...

Ah! But I see you have company!

- Antibo! I am ordering you
for the last time ...

to stop what you’re doing
or face the consequences!

- Ordering? ...

Before long
I’ll be giving the orders here. ...

You know you can’t stop me.

- You forget the Great Prophecy.
- The Great Prophecy?
That antiquated legend? ...

You don’t really believe that ...
(Antibo laughs hysterically)

Oh, wait. Oh, no!
You don’t mean-- These two? ...

A little girl?
And an overgrown cockroach?

- I’ll have you know
I am no overgrown cockroach. ...

I, sir, happen to be a Wogglebug.
And as for Miss Sylvie Harnois, ...

I think you will find her
to be wise beyond her years.

- Do you really think
these two can stop me?

- I only know someone must try.

- Fine! Send them to the Enchanted Forest.
I will be waiting for them! ...

(dramatic music)
(thunder rumbles)

- I really must get another travel spell.
(coughs uncontrollably)

- What a charming fellow.

- Now you see
what you are up against. ...

Approach, Wogglebug and Sylvie.
I have something to give you.

- It’s empty.

- Still, it is a very nice pouch.
We thank you.

- Have no fear.
It will not be empty for long. ...

Maps of the Enchanted Forest,
to guide you on your way. ...

Food and water,
so you will not hunger or thirst. ...

A signet ring,
to show you are on a royal quest. ...

A small container of Pixie Dust.

This is the last of it in the kingdom,
for the Pixies disappeared ...

after Antibo came into the forest.
It is very powerful, ...

and should only be used
in a dire emergency. ...

And finally, this vial containing
the Liquid Essence of Loyalty.

- What does it do?

- No one knows. ...

It can only be used by one
who possesses a True Heart of Loyalty, ...

and no such creature exists
so far as we know. ...

Still, perhaps you will meet one
on your journey, ...

and if so you will be wanting this
I’m sure. ...

I am afraid that is all
I have to offer you

in the way of assistance.
I trust you, Mr. Wogglebug.

You may go forth
to the Enchanted Forest ...

and do justice to your degree
of being thoroughly educated.

- I will do my very best, Your Majesty.

- Why are you so sure
this is what you need to do? ...

And why would I have anything
to do with this theory of yours? ...

- I just somehow feel
that because your name ...

practically spells out
the symbol of the key ...

that brought you into Genoma,
and you met me as soon as you did, ...

and of course the painting in the library
being the same as yours, ...

must mean you and I are destined
to prove my theory together.

- But what is your theory?

- It is a secret at the moment,
so I cannot tell you for now. ...

(M.r. Wogglebug giggles)

Just trust me. ...

For I know
the Seven Living Values of Intelligence.

- What are they?

- According to Professor Nowitall,
they are Honesty, Kindness, ...

Courtesy, Loyalty, Courage,
Perseverance, and Humility. ...

The last holds the others together.

- How will you know
when you’ve found them?

- Well, you found me. ...

You should be able to know them
as I demonstrate them, of course. ...

(M.r. Wogglebug giggles)

Just hold my hand and trust me. ...

Oh, you are afraid
you will fall off the bridge ...

while crossing it?
I see. ...

Then I shall guide you across it
so you shall not fall.
I shall hold you firmly like so,
and you will close your eyes.

Have no fear,
for I give you my word ...

I shall not let go. ...

Did you know when I met you this morning
I was in the middle of making up a song?

Would you like me to perform it for you?
It might take your mind off of things.

I call it "Dilly Dally Day".

- All right.

♩ It’s a dilly-a-dally day
so perfectly fine for a walk ♩

♩ Or going out to play
when the sun is high ♩

♩ And the clouds have flown away
that’s a dilly-a-dally day, ♩

♩ Oh dilly-a-day, Dally-a-doo ♩

♩ Yo-dilly-dilly-dilly-dilly
Yo-lay-yee-hoo ♩

♩ Dilly-a-day, dally-a-doo ♩

♩ And now you can open your eyes
'cause we’re through ♩

♩ Dilly-a-day
Dally-a-doo! ♩

♩ Dally-a-doo ♩

♩ Dilly-a-day ♩ Yo-dilly-dilly
yo-lay-yee-hoo ♩

Dilly-a-day!
Dilly-a-day! Dally-a-doo!
Dally-a-doo!
Dilly-a-day!
Dilly-dilly- yo-lay-yee-hoo!
Dilly-a-day! Oh dally-a-doo!
Dilly-a-day! Dally-a-doo!

♩ I’m so glad that I met you
me too ♩

♩ I’m so glad that I met you
♩ I’m so glad that I met you ♩♩

(soft music)

- Now we have arrived
in the Enchanted Forest! ...

I trust that you have never seen
any place like it before, ...

my dear Sylvie?

- It’s so beautiful! I love it!

- I should certainly think so, too! ...
(giggles)

I remember learning all about this place
in Professor Nowitall’s schoolroom! ...

Yet, it seems all the more glorious ...
when its all around me!

Oh, such a wonderful feeling.
Take a fresh breath of air here ...

Its filled with magic. (giggles)

- It was even more glorious
before Antibo arrived.

- Who was that?
A talking tree?

- It’s quite all right, Sylvie.
This is a Wise Old Oak.

- What’s a Wise Old Oak?

- Tree beings who live and speak as they
do because they were planted ...

with the ashes of the remains
of the best and wisest of people ...

and creatures in Genoma’s history. ...

They are markers that whisper
the words of wisdom ...

that the beings they came from
lived by. ...

They are most vitally important
aspects of nature, those trees are.

- It is most disconcerting
to be talked about like one isn’t here.

- Oh, I’m so very sorry,
please forgive me. ...

Oh great Wise Old Oak,
can you tell us more

about the Great Prophecy?

- The time of the Great Prophecy
has come. ...

Since Antibo’s arrival,
the Enchanted Forest ...

has been shrouded in gloom. ...

Now the time has come
for the one from a far land ...

and a magical creature to save the forest
and all of Genoma. ...

- King Ethano himself has tasked us ...

to try to defeat
this malicious wizard. ...

Is there anything you can do
to help us?

- There is no help to be had,
other than to warn you ...

not to enter the forest.

If you do, you may become hopelessly lost
or worse. ...

- We won’t get lost.
We have maps.

- Maps?
May I see them?

- Of course!

Oh, I see ...

You just wanted
to leaf through them, eh? (giggles)

- Was that intended to be a pun?
- Yes it was.

I was merely trying to show off

my intellectual ability with words.
(giggles)

- Don’t be sorry. It was a good one.

Anyway, these maps
will do you no good. ...

Antibo changed all the paths
and landmarks ...

in the forest ...

so the creatures that live there
wouldn’t be able to find each other ...

and rise up against him. ...

He even separated me from the other Oaks

by scattering us
throughout the forest ...

until he finds the power
to destroy us. ...

He was afraid if we stayed together
we might come up with a plan ...

to stop them. ...

If you come across them
they will give you more information ...

to help you on your way.

Meanwhile, if you follow
that path over there ...

it will take you
to an elven village. ...

It is vital you get the elves to trust you,
but I cannot tell you why. ...

There are eyes and ears everywhere,
so be careful what you say and do. ...

I’m afraid that’s all I can do for you.
Good-bye.

- So it looks like our next stop will
be the elven village.

- I guess so.
Can I ask you a question?

- Of course

- Did you bring me with you
because you think ...

I’m the one from a far land
that will save the forest?

- Yes.
In fact I’m quite certain of it. ...

That key is what convinced me.

- So, does that mean you’re magical?

- (sighs) No, not at all.
That’s the part that worries me.

- Haven’t you ever seen a short person
perform magic before?

- No.

- Not to seem rude,
but I get the feeling

we still haven’t. (laughs)

If you don’t mind my asking,
what sort of magic ...

were you attempting to perform?

- I was merely attempting
to make the flower babies happy ...

so that they would dance in the sunshine
and grow better. ...

Ahhh, what’s the point? ...

I’ll never graduate Gardener First Class
at this rate. ...

What are you two doing here
at my village?

- I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E.
And this is Sylvie. ...

- We have come to your village
because a Wise Old Oak sent us here ...

to speak with your people.

- He did?
Did he tell you why?

- No, only that we should
gain your trust ...

as part of our quest. ...

You see, we have come here
to see if there is any way ...

to put a stop to an evil wizard
named Antibo. ...

Are you familiar with him?

- Am I?
I wish I wasn’t! ...

Why do you think
I can’t get these flowers to grow? ...

He is crazy
in how he thinks his New Order ...

is a greater way
of how to make things grow! ...

When us elves all know
the truth is the natural laws ...

are natural for the right reasons! ...

- I couldn’t agree with you more,
my good sir! ...

That is why we are here now. ...

We were sent to help you
to stop Antibo ...

and save the Enchanted Forest.

- Save the Enchanted Forest?
If only we could. ...

But, as you can see,
I cannot even get baby flowers ...

to dance and grow. ...

Antibo’s power over Nature
is too strong ...

even for Elfish magic.

- Oh dear.
I-I wish I could help you.

- Maybe you can, Mr. Wogglebug.

- How do you mean, Sylvie?

- With the sound of your voice. ...

Where I come from,
science has shown ...

that gentle happy music
can help plants to grow. ...

Maybe you can make them happy and dance
with a song you sing to them. ...

You make me happy when you do. ...

- Oh! Why, of course!
Genius, ingenious, I would dare say ...

After all, music is the universal language
of happiness and personal growth. ...

Very well.
I shall help you to work magic, ....

my good Mr. Elf.

- Very well.
Just do your best with your voice, ...

and I’ll do my best with my magic
and conduct the flowers.

♩ Won’t you grow for me,
little flower ♩

♩ From within you must feel
the power ♩

♩ You must feel deep inside
that you can grow grow ♩

♩ Little flower,
go with the flow grow to sun ♩

♩ Grow to sun
Dancing to your fun ♩

♩ Grow into your stance,
grow with your siblings’ dance ♩

♩ Feel love inside you
and all around you ♩

♩ Grow with love
and you’ll rise to above ♩

♩ Won’t you grow now
my little flower? ♩

♩ And feel your lovely power! ♩♩

♩ Grow with love
and you’ll rise to above ♩

♩ Won’t you grow now
my little flower? ♩

♩ And feel your lovely power! ♩♩

♩ Won’t you grow now
my little flower? ♩

♩ And feel your lovely power! ♩♩

Thank you ever so much,
Mr. Wogglebug!

- You are most welcome, Mr. Elf.

- Please -- call me Cristeph.

I now fully understand
the fundamentals ...

of putting my mind to my magic.

- Of course! That is where fun
and mental go together ...

in the right ways! (laughs) ...
(thunder rumbles)

(dramatic music)

Don’t look now, Sylvie, ...

but I believe
we have unwanted company.

- So! I see you made it this far, bug!

- That’s Mr. Bug to you!
Still traveling by smoke I see.

- Turns out it beats the alternative.

- Which is?

- Blizzard. I could catch my death
of cold. ... (laughs maniacally)

Oh, my, my, somebody’s been busy I see.

- That’s right, Antibo.
You can’t frighten us elves.

We have magic too, you know!

- How dare you interfere
with my New World Order,

wretched young elf!

I will be the only one
to control Nature in this forest!

(dramatic music)

(flower moans)

- You see?
Your magic is useless against mine! ...

I have the power!
I have control! ...

And now, if you’ll excuse me,
I have some preparations to make ...

for our unwanted intruders.

(thunder rumbles)
(laughs maniacally)

(Antibo coughs uncontrollably)

- Oh, I’m sorry.

I don’t seem

to have helped you
all that much, did I? ...

Oh, dearies.

- You tried your best.
Antibo’s magic is too strong. ...

If only the Pixies hadn’t disappeared! ...

Pixie Dust has the power
to restore and protect Nature. ...

- Oh! Pixie Dust, eh?
Hmm, Ive got an idea.

- No, Mr. Wogglebug! ...

The King said
only for a dire emergency!

- My dear Sylvie,
these poor flowers are dying. ...

I can think of no emergency
more dire than that. ...

(pixie dust tinkling)

(M.r. Wogglebug sneezes)

Oh, heavens! Goodness! ...

I seem to be getting Spring Fever
from all of these beautiful flowers!...

(thunder rambles)
(Antibo coighing)

- You wretched insect!
Why did you make me come back? ...

Do you have any idea
what this is doing to my lungs? ...

(Antibo gasps)

What manner of treachery is this?

- Merely a smattering of Pixie Dust.
- You lie! The Pixies have fled
before my terrible wrath!

- But I possessed the last Pixie Dust
in the kingdom.

- Fine! Have your little victory!
It won’t matter in the end! ...

Soon, I will be the Master of all Nature!

(thunder rumbles)

On second thought, I’ll walk this time.

- I never thought I’d see the day
when anyone could defeat Antibo. ...

I must speak to the Elders
about something. ...

Would you mind waiting here
for a few moments?

- Not at all.
Sylvie and I will stay here ...

and enjoy the flowers.

- Mr. Wogglebug.

- Sylvie, I know
what you are going to say ...

and I understand your concern. ...

But you must remember that I have
a thoroughly educated intelligence. ...

You must learn to trust
that I know what I am doing. ...

- I do trust you. ...

I just hope what you did
doesn’t backfire. ...

- I don’t see
how it possibly could. ... (giggles)

- Mr. Wogglebug, I have told the Elders
what has happened here, ...

and our Leader
would like to talk to you.

- Oh! Certainly.

- What you two have done
has been a great service to us, ...

and we hereby declare you both
to be Elf-Friends for all of time.

- We are greatly honored.

- I know you must continue
on your quest to defeat Antibo, ...

but before you leave ...

there is someone
I think you should meet.

She might be able to offer you
some guidance along your way. ...

- We would be grateful
for any help we might receive.

- Very well, then.
Follow me.

(music chiming)

- Your Majesty, they’re here.

- Elysia, the Fairy Queen Mother
of the Elements.

I am both humbled and speechless
before you.

- Raise your heads.

I am very honored myself
to meet you, Mr. Wogglebug.

You too, Sylvie.

- You-you know my name?
- I know all who enter my Wood. ...

But our time is short,
and we have much to discuss.

- We do?

- Certainly.
It is you two who I have chosen ...

to bring together all of the elements
of the forest, ...

to bring forth a living tree being
from the oldest tree guardian, ...

so that we all might defeat Antibo ...

and save the forest and its natural laws.

- Us? You’ve chosen Mr Wogglebug
and me too?

- You, Sylvie Harnois,
are far more vital

to your world and this one
than you may know. ...

You, Mr. Wogglebug
are just as enormous in wisdom ...

as you are in height
in any way you could so desire. ...

If you will only believe in
and know your worth.

- I should certainly like to believe so!

If it pleases you,
I shall do all the best ...

in my personal power
to enable the Enchanted Forest ...

to triumph
over this mad wizard’s scheme ...

so that life may go on as it should!

- I know I can trust you,
Mr. Wogglebug. ...

Along the way you must rally ...

all of the prime residents
of the forest ...

and also demonstrate the honor ...

of the Seven Living Values
of Intelligence ...

as they come unto you.

Of course! ...

I expect I shall know them
when they come unto me! ...

Never fear!
I shall rally the residents
as I need them! ...

I shall do all you say!

- As for you, Sylvie, ...

you have a most important role to play
in what is to come. ...

Simply stay true and loyal
in your heart, ...

and you will know what to do
when the time comes. ...

I am sorry I cannot tell you more,
but if Antibo
should suspect your importance ...

it could undo all that I and my partner
have planned. ...

- Partner? What partner?

- Alas, I have no more time!

The elves have hidden
and protected me from Antibo ...

that my power will not diminish. ...

Should he sense my presence here

I fear it will go
badly for them. ....

This much more I can say.
Keep North when you leave the village ..

and you will see a lone mountain
rising out of the woods. ...

Go there and find the Wise Old Oak. ...

Tell him simply,
"Queen ElysiaCommands," ...

and he will impart to you
what information he has ...

to help you along your way. .
Travel safely, my friends. ...

The future of the Enchanted Forest
and all of Genoma rests on you.

- Oh, why Sylvie!
What is it? What’s wrong?

- Oh, Mr. Wogglebug!
I wanna go home!

I don’t know how to save a forest
or a kingdom or anything! ...

I’m just a little girl!
What if I do something wrong? ...

Everything will be ruined
and it will be all my fault!

- Oh, my dear child, did you not hear
what Queen Elysia said? ...

Simply stay true and loyal
in your own heart ...

and nothing can go wrong.

You’re sure?

I'm more than sure, I’m positive!
Come, Sylvie! We head North!
