Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

I'm on the surface. I'm on the surface.

The sun!

I looked at the sun! I'll go blind!

Wait, I can still see.

I can't be here. I can't be here. I can't be here.

Out of my way, rocks!

Dad! Can you hear me?

Of course not. He could be miles away.

OK. You can do this, Kipo.

You got this.

Humans lived on the surface for thousands of years.

You can handle a few minutes up here.

Hmm.

You just have to find your way home.

- -

Flowers.

A lot bigger than they are in books.

Stay away!

Hmm... Let's see, the current took me left, then right.

And then there was the long part.

And the... And the short part.

And then the loop-dee-do.

And then I went way over here, so, my home must be in this direction.

Or was it left, then loop-dee-do?

Or... or... loop-dee-do, then left?

Mmm...

Who are you, little one?

You're adorable.

- -

Uh, sorry.

Didn't expect you to come with extra eyes.

I'm a friend.

Oh! You come with an extra pair of everything!

I only have two legs. So boring.

- -Aww!

-I have to pet you. -

Wait! Come back!

You can run, pig. But I will find you, and I will pet you.

Huh.

["Now You Know My Name" by The Derevolutions playing]

Ha ha! Hmm.

Ha!

Hmm!

I somehow feel like I've been wearing you my whole life.

- -

Piggy!

- -

I can help you with that.

We have vending machines like this in my burrow.

I know all the tricks.

There's a wire back here.

If I could just get to it.

That works, too.

Whoa! You were hungry, weren't you?

Hey, wanna try something fun?

You ready?

Yeah!

Humans from the old world.

This is a school!

I go to school, too.

Underground with lots of other kids.

No windows, though. My father teaches there.

"Kipo, how many light years are in a parsec?"

It's 3.26156.

Although, a lot of good that does me up here.

My whole life they taught us the surface was this horrible place.

-But look at you. -

You look just like these dumplings my dad makes.

They're called "mandu."

That's it! I'm gonna call you "Mandu."

Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.

I'm gonna get you!

- -I'm gonna get you, Mandu!

Mandu, I have to pet this bunny, now.

It's gonna be OK.

Hi, there. Aren't you fluffy.

- -

Oh, you like that.

Oh! There's another one.

OK, OK! Everyone wait your turn.

You're all so soft, but there's only one of me.

And that must be the mother.

Mandu!

Mandu!

Can you talk, mute?

I'm no barbarian. If a mute can talk, it's not chow.

All I need to hear is one little "yes."

- -A human?

Sorry, but a girl's gotta eat.

Wait!

I was wondering when you were gonna come out of there.

You're human! On the surface.

You don't miss a thing, do you?

- - Wait. You can't eat my friend.

If you want a bacon sandwich, go catch your own pig.

I already called dibs on this one.

-Mandu is no sandwich! -She's about to be.

Say, your staff is so pointy.

-Where'd you get it from? -Off a giant scorpion.

It was trespassing in my camp.

- -Oh, no, you don't!

-Hey! Run, Mandu! -Let go!

What is wrong with you?

Now we're both out of a meal.

How can you eat her? She's adorable!

I've eaten plenty of adorable.

And there's lots more adorable that's tried to eat me.

Do you have any hand sanitizer?

You must not be from around here.

Are you one of those underground mole people?

You've heard of us!

I didn't think there were any humans left up here anymore.

For your lost lunch.

Listen, I'm trying to find my way home.

You clearly look like you grew up around here.

Maybe you could help me find...

it.

Kipo. My name's Kipo.

And... and I really need your help right now.

You're not gone? That's annoying.

Look, there was a mute-quake.

A lot of people I care about could be hurt.

I really need to get home.

Not my problem.

Hey. Hey!

First lesson of the surface: Up here, you don't shout like that.

It's called "ringing the dinner bell."

Free advice.

Hey, you, wolf girl!

Yeah! You, walking away from me!

I'm still talking to you!

Fine. I don't need you anyway.

I'll find my own way--

Oh, hi. You look friendly.

That's your last freebie.

Fine. I'll just go this way instead.

Really? You're just gonna walk right into Death Ivy?

Whoa.

You're not gonna last five minutes.

Look, I'll help you get home.

But once you're back, I'm out.

-Up here, I work alone. Got it? -Oh, thank you!

No hugging.

I knew you were a good person.

Hey, I just realized I don't know your name.

-No talking! -Uh, OK.

I'll just call you "Wolf", then.

I've already been calling you that in my head.

At first we thought it was a mute passing overhead.

I mean, that happens all the time, right?
