The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin

Teddy: Come on, Grubby!

Grubby: Teddy, my feet are getting sore.

I must have stepped on every rock between Rillonia and here.

You didn't tell me adventure seeking

would be this hard on my feet.

Teddy: Yes, Grubby.

You do have a lot of feet to worry about.

Grubby: So this is the land of Grundo.

It sure is strange-looking.

Teddy: It certainly is a lot different from Rillonia.

I'll say, Teddy.

And now that we've seen it,

Maybe we ought to go back to where we came from.

But, Grubby, we can't go back now.

We've waited years to look for the Treasure of Grundo.

Gee, I guess that does sound like fun,

if you like that sort of thing, which I don't.

You just have to have the right attitude, Grubby.

Uh-oh.

Dangerous creatures. Let's get out of here.

They don't look very dangerous to me.

In fact, they look kind of friendly.

-We are! -We sure are.

We're Fobs.

-We're as friendly as anything. -That's us.

-Friendly... -Friendly...

-Friendly. -

See, Grubby?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Well, I can't help it if things make me nervous.

But just think, Grubby,

you might be the first Octopede

to ever have a real adventure.

Hmm.

Well, okay.

But at least let's stop and rest.

My feet hurt.

-My feet hurt, too. -But I've got eight of 'em.

That means my feet hurt, uh,

four times worse than yours do.

All in favor of stopping, raise your hands.

The majority rules.

You win, Grubby.

We'll stop and rest.

I'm glad we stopped.

It gives me a chance to cook up some roasted roots.

What do you think of 'em?

Well, um,

they're, uh, interesting.

I knew you'd like 'em.

You missed.

Fine bunch of Bounders you turned out to be.

You can't even catch a couple of unwelcome intruders.

We tried, L.B.

Well, you didn't try hard enough.

-Now, get those two. -Yeah, right, L.B.

-Let's get out of here, Grubby. -Grubby: Hey, that's funny.

Suddenly my feet aren't tired anymore.

Both: Whoa!

These branches will make excellent firewood.

Here's a good one.

-Grubby: Help! -

I wonder what's making that dreadful racket.

Look out! These things are after us!

Take that. And this.

And here's one for you.

Poor little Bounders.

Thank you, sir. You saved our lives.

That sure was brave of you.

Think nothing of it.

I'd do the same for any guests of mine.

Guests?

Why, certainly.

Anyone coming through Gimmick's Valley

must be coming to see me.

My name is, uh, Newton Gimmick,

but everybody just calls me Gimmick.

I'm an inventor.

Hello. I'm Teddy Ruxpin.

Say, aren't you an Illiop?

Yes, I am.

I don't believe I've ever seen an Illiop before.

This is my friend Grubby.

He's an Octopede.

Well, I know I've never seen an Octopede before.

It's a pleasure to shake your hand.

That happens to be my foot,

but it's nice to meet you, too.

Why don't we all go over to my place for a bite of lunch?

Okay.

Grubby and I came all the way from Rillonia

-on a great adventure. -Gimmick: A great adventure?

Well, tell me all about it.

Well, it all started when I found this map.

All I asked you to do was drive Gimmick out of the valley!

- -Oh, can't you do anything?

Will you speak up?

I can't understand a word you're saying!

Oh, so you've got a stick in your mouth, too, huh?

What do you mean can't I do anything, Twees?

How long have you been trying to get rid of Gimmick?

Never mind that.

And the name is Tweeg.

T-W-E-E-G. Tweeg!

So I guess you're not interested in my news?

What news?

Gimmick's got a couple of visitors,

and one of 'em is an Illiop.

Visitors. An Illiop.

It can only mean one thing.

They're after my secret formula

for making gold out of buttermilk!

I knew it. I knew it!

They're forming an army to attack me

and steal my gold formula!

L.B., get down there and find out what's going on.

"L.B., do this. L.B., do that."

How come I gotta do all of his dirty work?

Now I'll teach Gimmick a lesson.

- -What was that?

Oh, nothing.

It's just Tweeg firing his cannon at us.

-At us? -Oh, don't worry.

Tweeg is without a doubt the world's worst shot.

If he's firing at us,

this is probably the safest place in the valley to be.

You see? We're perfectly safe.

If you say so, Gimmick.

Maybe you'd like to take a look at this treasure map.

Gimmick: Oh, by all means.

The treasure seems to be somewhere here

in the Hard to Find City.

There's something else, Gimmick.

This strange medallion was with the map.

Looks more like half a medallion to me.

Hmm.

How decidedly odd.

I wonder what these words mean.

Spirit, treasure, ledge.

I don't know.

But I have a feeling the answer lies

at the top of the Treacherous Mountains.

Come with me.

I think my new invention

might be very useful.

Ah, yes. Here it is.

I call it an airship.

Kinda looks like a boat to me.

Not only is Gimmick forming an army.

Now he's got a navy, too.

-I see Tweeg is still at it. -

Drat! I missed again!

Ah, yes.

Now, with this airship,

we can float right up to the top

-of the Treacherous Mountains. -That's wonderful, Gimmick.

And you'll be welcome to share in the treasure.

If we're lucky enough to find it, that is.

Very well. Start putting some wood into the stove

while I go and get some supplies.

Let's see.

We'll need the vertical disseminator,

the solar distributor,

the twitch reducer,

the calibrating stub,

the astronomical simplifier,

the hyperbolic modifying unit,

and-- and some Grundleberry muffins.

Oh, boy.

With one well-aimed shot,

I'll take care of Gimmick's army and navy.

Ow, oof. Oh.

That nincompoop L.B.

never mixes the gunpowder right.

I've got to do everything myself.

Gimmick and his friends will never know what hit them.

L.B., I might have known

you'd be at the bottom of this.

What? Again?

Why am I always pulling things out of your mouth?

I'm a villain, not a dentist.

Well, you're gonna be a rich villain.
