01:28Thank you, friend, but at least wait until I'm finished to show your appreciation.
01:34I'd be alone with Mother Nature, where nothing is heard but the delicate song of a...
01:43Well, you think you're a critic, do you? We'll just see about that.
01:48Well, you think you're a critic, do you? We'll just see about that.
02:01Don't you know it's not polite to interrupt an artist while he's creating?
02:05Didn't your mother teach you any manners?
02:17No! No!
02:25Farmer's sausage, goat cheese, fresh bread, wild strawberries and thick cream?
02:34That's for dessert, Quasimodo.
02:38Where is it written, Esmeralda, that the best part of the meal has to be saved for last?
02:42Where is it written that something has to be written for it to be true?
02:45It just is, that's all. Now you better call Francois.
02:48Quasimodo! Esmeralda!
02:51When it comes to food, your brother seems to hear his name before it's even called.
02:55Come with me, quick!
02:56What is it, Francois?
02:57There's no time to talk.
02:58But our picnic!
02:59It'll have to wait, come on!
03:01Francois left without eating? This must be important.
03:16A donkey sitting in a tree?
03:18If this is another one of your stories, Francois...
03:27Even with my considerable talent and incredible imagination, I couldn't make this up.
03:32Unless, of course, I really put my mind to it.
03:36Look!
03:40Now do you believe me?
03:42What in the world is going on?
03:44I don't believe it! They're flying backwards!
03:51What do you think's happening?
03:52I don't know!
03:57We'd better get back to Notre Dame. We need to talk to Dennis about all of this.
04:15I'm scared!
04:18It was incredible! We saw a donkey sitting in a tree!
04:21And geese flying backwards!
04:23And summer turning into fall in the blink of an eye!
04:26If what you say is true, and I'm sure it is, we might have a serious problem here.
04:31Then you discovered something, Dennis?
04:33Yes. These are copies of ancient drawings found in caves of the Great Pyrenees Mountains.
04:39They depict an event that took place tens of thousands of years ago.
04:43What's that round ball with a tail?
04:45It's a star, Francois, that somehow escaped from its orbit.
04:49And you see that larger ball in the corner?
04:52Well, that's our planet Earth, and the star is heading straight for it.
04:56And what sort of animal is that in the tree?
04:58It's some kind of giant lizard.
05:00What is all this over here?
05:02That, Quasimodo, is what occurred a relatively short time after the collision.
05:07Fires, floods, horrendous explosions...
05:10Are you saying that's what's going to happen to us?
05:12I truly hope not, Esmeralda.
05:15My guess is that what you saw today was merely caused by a star coming a little too close for comfort.
05:21By now, it's probably light-years away from us.
05:24I wouldn't be too sure of that, Dennis.
05:36The unthinkable has happened! Another star has collided with Earth!
05:40Dennis, what do we do?
05:42The three of you have to locate the fallen star.
05:45Then we must discover a way of destroying it forever.
05:48What?
05:49I've drawn a rough map based on the cross-quadrants of the explosion.
05:54There's no time to lose. You must leave right away.
05:58According to the journal, the fallen star could begin destroying the Earth in less than 24 hours,
06:03with the rising of tomorrow's moon.
06:05Go quickly, and let goodness and courage be your guide.
06:10Yes, sir.
06:11And a good evening to you, too, Dragon, whatever it is you are.
06:41Answer the door, Azeroth!
06:45I said answer the door, Azeroth!
06:49Rolo, my dear friend. Good to see you.
06:54It's been a while, Oracle. I hope you haven't come empty-handed.
06:58My mother taught me better than that.
07:01Of course, if you're expecting that money you gave me...
07:05Paid you.
07:06Invested in me.
07:08For information leading to the whereabouts of Quasimodo's parents.
07:12Which my sources are working on, even as we speak.
07:17But until then, my friend, I have something else I'm sure you'll be very interested in.
07:23This. It is so powerful, I had to carry it here in this lead-covered box.
07:31A stone.
07:32Not just any stone, but one that fell from the heavens.
07:36One with power to change the Earth.
07:40See for yourself.
07:54Nothing of value, really.
07:56Merely things Notre Dame wanted to get rid of during the...
07:59the course of my untimely departure.
08:01Don't worry, I've seen nothing, my friend.
08:04And you've seen nothing either.
08:06This is only a small chip off a great boulder.
08:11Where did you get it?
08:12You must tell me.
08:13I'll do better than that. I'll take you there.
08:15On one condition.
08:17What?
08:18Anything.
08:19That we become partners.
08:21Yes, yes, yes. I'll need someone I can trust.
08:25Come, we must get started before someone else gets to it first.
08:29With this, all my dreams can come true.
08:32I will be master of the world.
08:35With you at my side, of course.
08:39Think of all the things I will be able to destroy.
08:43I will be master of the world!
08:56How many more miles?
08:58From the looks of Dennis' map, not too many.
09:01But...
09:02Have you noticed something?
09:03I noticed my feet are killing me.
09:06There's something wrong.
09:08Everything's too quiet.
09:09There are no little animals busy gathering food for the day.
09:12And no birds singing in the trees.
09:16And my feet still hurt.
09:18And now I'm hungry, too.
09:20How can you be hungry when you've done nothing to eat?
09:23How can you be hungry when you've done nothing but eat berries all morning?
09:27I ended up spitting most of them out.
09:29They looked fine, but they tasted like lemons.
09:32Where are you going?
09:33You know what Grandmother always says.
09:35The deeper the forest, the sweeter the fruit.
09:37Don't worry, I'll catch up.
09:39Well, how are we doing?
09:41That is the Chevreuse Valley.
09:43And according to Dennis' calculations, that's where the fallen star is.
09:46And we've got to get there before the moon rises.
09:49In less than 12 hours.
09:51We can do it. I know we can.
09:53Hurry, Francois. We're leaving.
09:55I'll be right there.
10:11I don't see him.
10:13No! No! Help!
10:15Help!
10:21Over there!
10:22Francois!
10:23No, no, dear friends.
10:25Waste not your precious time.
10:27Oh, be quiet, Francois. I'm not your friend. I'm your sister.
10:30Just remember me as a young man who dared to dream.
10:35Francois, this isn't the time to be playing the brave poet.
10:41Playing? Are you questioning my bravery?
10:46It's Dragon!
10:47That means Frollo can't be far behind.
10:49What would Frollo be doing here?
10:52Probably the same thing we are.
10:54Looking for the star?
10:55Yes, but I'm sure for a very different reason.
10:58Let's go. We have to get to it first.
11:03Did we really have to come through the village of thugs, Oracle?
11:06This place gives me the willies.
11:08It was the shortest route, Frollo.
11:11Besides, even thugs have their answers.
11:14I hope you're right.
11:16Welcome to our humble village. It's not much, but it's home.
11:19What can we do for you? Or better yet, what can you do for us?
11:23Perhaps we can offer you some work, my friend.
11:31Work has a tiring sound to it and never lives up to its promise.
11:37Forget about work. We're offering you a career.
11:41In what?
11:42My Imperial Army.
11:44Serving under the Star Master.
11:47And his top advisor. Me.
11:50Doing what?
11:51Whatever's needed.
11:52What does it pay?
11:54We'll talk about that later.
11:56Forget it!
12:00On second thought, I'm going to need your help right away,
12:04so let's not put off the discussion of payment.
12:08This ring was given to me by King Louis himself.
12:14You can take it as an advance on your services.
12:18Remind me to get that back.
12:20Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on it.
12:22All right. You got yourself an Imperial Army.
12:25Good. You've made a wise decision.
12:29All right.
12:32Angelica!
12:33A volcano!
12:35What volcano?
12:36A volcano appearing in the Chevreuse Valley.
12:39Now you see what working all night does to you?
12:41It makes you see what isn't there.
12:43My people have crossed that valley more times than the sun,
12:46and there is no volcano there.
12:48Look for yourself.
12:52A volcano in the Chevreuse Valley?
12:55Imagine.
12:56How can this be?
12:58Do you think it was caused by your fallen star?
13:00I can't be sure,
13:01but the fact that the volcano is there is the important thing.
13:04It may be the answer to all our problems.
13:06Angelica, you must go right now and get me a good strong wagon.
13:10A gypsy wagon?
13:12Yes, and a very strong horse.
13:14A gypsy horse?
13:15And some strong rope and logs.
13:17I'll get you the best gypsy rope and logs.
13:20But why do you need all these things?
13:22I'll explain later.
13:23Just hurry, Angelica. Hurry!
13:31I wonder where everyone is.
13:33I'm afraid we don't have time to look for them.
13:35Masumoto, I don't think we have to.
13:38Welcome to the Village of Thugs.
13:41Thank you very much.
13:42We wish we could stay longer.
13:43But maybe another time.
13:53Let me go!
13:56Let me go!
14:06The King will hear about this!
14:08We take orders only from Star Master Frollo.
14:11Lock them up in the bars!
14:16If Frollo gets to that star before we can stop him...
14:18I know! It could mean the end of the world!
14:26And one day, lo and behold, people will ask...
14:30What happened to the Village of Thugs?
14:33And the answer will be...
14:35Gone to the bugs!
14:37Gone to the bugs!
14:39Huh?
14:40What did you say?
14:42Francois, I told you to keep them busy, not make them angry.
14:45Is it my fault they have no ear for poetry?
14:48What did you say about going to the bugs?
14:51Bugs!
14:52My friend, you misunderstood.
14:53I said rugs, like carpets.
14:56Magic carpets that...
14:58That take you to far off places.
15:01Oh, well...
15:03That's better.
15:08Quasimodo, the sun!
15:10I know, Francois. Time's running out.
15:15What was that?
15:16What's going on in there?
15:17Look!
15:19Part of our Imperial Army.
15:30Can you make it?
15:31I think so.
15:32But what about us?
15:33First things first.
15:43Shh, don't be afraid.
15:45I won't hurt you.
15:48I won't hurt you.
15:55Good boy.
15:57Easy, boy. Easy.
16:01Let's go, Francois.
16:18Stop them! Don't let them get away!
16:27I think I see it.
16:28We found it!
16:31Now what are we going to do with it?
16:33Esmeralda, you heard what Dennis said.
16:35We just have to find a way to destroy it, that's all.
16:38Right.
16:44We must stop them.
16:46With them, we will.
16:54There!
17:17Too late, Hunchback!
17:21It's all mine!
17:29You're making a terrible mistake, Frollo.
17:31You'll think differently, Quasimodo,
17:33when I take this rock out of here
17:35and use it to trample the entire world into submission
17:39and then reign as its ruler.
17:42But you're going to have nothing left to rule.
17:44What good is a dead, barren world,
17:46one without animals or flowers?
17:49And let's not forget poetry.
17:51I'm sure your friend Dennis is mistaken
17:53about the sinister qualities of this style.
17:56Then how do you explain that volcano?
18:03A little joke of Mother Nature, nothing more.
18:05Are we almost ready, Oracle?
18:06A few more minutes.
18:08That's probably all the time we have left.
18:15No offense, Frollo,
18:17but I'm sure you meant we are moving this rock
18:19so that we can rule the world.
18:22No, Oracle.
18:24I meant exactly what I said.
18:28Two heads cannot wear one crown.
18:33I'll be back, Frollo.
18:37And I'll be king!
18:40And I'll be king!
18:44Dragon, make ready for the move.
18:59Take it to my quarters.
19:06Stop them!
19:09Stop them!
19:40Come back, you cowards!
19:42Gargoyles! Thugs!
19:44I am your star master!
19:48I don't suppose I could interest you.
19:52No, I guess not.
19:54You've won this one, Quasimodo.
19:56But someday, I will be king!
20:02Quasimodo, look! The moon!
20:10What are we going to do?
20:30Dennis, what are you doing?
20:31There's no time to talk.
20:33We must throw that star into the volcano to melt it down.
20:37That's the only way to destroy it forever.
20:49There!
21:08Esmeralda!
21:11Hold on, Esmeralda! Hold on!
21:23We did it!
21:25And not a moment too soon!
21:38Whoa!
21:56You did it, Dennis!
22:00No, Quasimodo. We did it.
22:08Do you think our lost star is back home yet?
22:11I'm sure it is, Esmeralda.
22:15Everything is as it should be.
22:17Berries are sweet.
22:18Geese no longer fly backwards.
22:22All is right with the world again.
22:26But donkeys are still critics.
22:56To be continued...
