Brightheart: Let Your Light Shine (Brightheart)

Did you know that there are two kinds of light...

The light that you see,

and the light in your heart.

This is a story

about how I learned the difference

between the two.

We stayed out too late.

It's too dark to see the way ahead.

Oh!

Oh, Grandpa, we're gonna be late.

I know that, but I can't see.

I can't see my own shell in this darkness.

Oh! Oh, let's catch up quickly.

Are you okay, Grandpa?

I think so.

But I can't see a thing.

Oh, I can't see either.

- Oh, yeah! - What are you talking about?

It's Brightheart. She's a superhero.

I'm the firefly Brightheart. I'm here to help you.

Whoa!

I can see the village here.

I can see it, too.

Thank you, Brightheart.

I'm the firefly who lights up the dark.

Brightheart.

- Brightheart! - Brightheart!

Annie, Bennie and Kennie.

- So, what's up? - Brightheart.

- We want your autograph. - Sign me.

- You're famous. - I can do that.

- Sign my wing. - Yay!

- Oh, thanks. - I'll never take a bath.

What's that poster?

Oh, it's for my new live performance.

Bigger and better stories.

Me, too.

Breaking news. The Ant Village was robbed last night.

Thieves broke in and stole all their food.

Reports say it was those goons

from King Cyrus, Solomon and Twigg.

We can't take this lying down.

We've got to stand up and stop these thieves.

Who wants to be a hero?

We need a super cool leader. And not me, of course.

I gotta look after my bling.

Edward, you can do it, can't you?

No way. I'm a traffic cop, not a superhero.

We need someone fearless to protect us.

Perfect. I vote for Brightheart.

Ah, yeah!

Well, sure. The village can always count on me.

I'm hungry.

- Anyone else hungry? Anyone? - Mmm.

Albert, you're new to the concept of hiding, aren't you?

Let me explain.

Shh!

Listen. Footsteps. Everybody hide.

Hmm? Hmm.

Hmm-hmm.

Solomon! Drop in the name of the law.

Put the food down!

Yo, dim the high beams, will you?

Solomon, you're under arrest.

Yeah? You and whose army, pal?

Ours!

Huh?

Really? It's a dung beetle blockade!

Bubbles, sic him!

That's right.

I've got one of these. A gift from the king.

Huh? Twigg, what's this? Hmm.

Gift from the king.

He calls it a firecracker

Huh? What do I do with it?

How should I know, Solomon? It's your gift.

Mmm. The king must really like me.

But seriously, are there instructions?

You can sit on it for all I care. - Huh?

Tremble in fear, puny bugs.

Behold!

Arrest me? I don't think so.

Get down! Get down!

The King's present really works.

They all ran away.

I wonder what else it does.

Whoa! That's a surprise.

You can tell the king he can get his own food.

But he got away.

What are we going to do if he comes for our stuff again?

Albert, stop worrying. We have Brightheart.

That's right. You have me.

And if he tries to come back, I'll send him to the moon.

Hey, don't forget, my new show starts soon.

Let's all go to the theater and have fun.

Brightheart! You're awesome.

And you shine like a star. How come?

Who knows? Maybe fireflies come from the stars.

Did you hear that?

Something hit the ground. I gotta go check it out.

Uh, don't forget the show.

You'll wanna get a good seat.

Yeah, Yeah, sure. We'll be there.

What is that thing?

Edward, you better go check it out.

This was your idea. You go first.

Frog's eyes can only see something in motion.

If it ain't moving, I can't see it.

Albert, show a little backbone.

You're not a tadpole anymore.

You're locked and loaded.

Uh, they're just my hands.

Come on. You lead the way, I'll follow.

You're the one with razor claws.

Hmm.

Oh, I saw that.

On second thought, I'm not that curious.

Go on. We don't have all night.

Hey, what's going on?

Something big fell from the sky.

Brightheart, that thing came from the stars.

- Maybe it's your people. - Huh?

You should go knock on the door.

Great idea. Who better to take a look than you?

Go on, Brightheart, go and take a look. - Come on.

- Come on! - Okay.

- Oh, I'm so nervous. -Albert.

So far so good.

It's got a light just like Brightheart.

- Whole family. - Or friends.

If you ask me, it looks like an egg.

What is that thing?

Bubbles, you watch for trouble.

- That big egg is hatching! - That big egg is hatching!

Shh!

You think Brightheart and Bubbles are in danger?

Let's watch from here.

If there's trouble, maybe we can go and help.

Brightheart's in trouble.

Everyone to the rescue!

Come on, Edward, let's go!

Who's gonna save me?

I'm Brightheart. Um...

What kind of bug are you?

My name is Aurora.

I'm not a bug. I'm an explorer robot,

and I'm exploring this thing.

Wow! He really came from the stars.

- Awesome. - Awesome.

We call this a flower. It means peace.

Flower. It means peace.

Hey, everyone, come meet Aurora.

Don't crowd the alien. Give it some space.

It's so shiny.

Come on, line up. One at a time.

Let Aurora get to know you.

I'm Fiona. Wow. Your skin is so smooth.

Do you use hand cream?

Hey, I'm Bamboo Paul.

I'm taller than everyone here.

Wow! Cool.

I see you're looking at my enormous diamond.

You're just gonna have to get your own.

I'm Annie.

- I'm Bennie. - I'm Kennie.

Edward, come shake hands with our new friend.

No need.

Who says we can't be friends without a handshake?

His hands are like knives.

He has scissorhands.

They call me Edward Scissorhands.

It doesn't matter.

It's such an outdated concept anyway. Huh?

Shake hands, good friend. Hi.

I wanna know what love is.

I didn't know it'd to feel this way.

A handshake has changed my life.

Huh?

Uh, wait up. Wait for me!

Aurora, I'm doing a show tonight.
