Diplodocus (2024) Movie Script
1
Hello. My name is Bookworm.
I'm a respected devourer
of picture stories.
I'll come over at the end.
Now, have a nice show.
- Dinner time!
- Coming, mom!
Mom! Dad!
Ouch! You'll stretch it out even more!
- What were you thinking?!
- Awesome!
Awesome?! Life is not a fairy tale!
Life is a It's
It's so scary out there!
- Have you been?
- No But I've heard it's terrible!
Grandpa's right!
Life, it should be just like this wall!
- Grey and boring?
- No! Simple. Ordinary. And safe!
You will stay here,
with us until you grow up
or longer like
some of our proud ancestors.
We have everything we need right here!
Safety, nature, fresh air, friends
- What about adventures?
- Adventures?!
Diplo, you're still just a child
This is where we've lived for generations.
It is what it is but we have each other
I'd rather be anywhere than here!
Well that's what's going to happen
if you mess with the order of things!
I wish I was alone! I'd do what I want!
As you wish! To your room! Now!
- Yeah?
- How is my favorite artist doing?
- Cool! Everything is
- Then open the door.
Okay
Ah. What a "charming" studio.
Ted, every great artist
needs a great publisher.
So when can I expect something proper
from you to publish?
I can't wait forever!
Yes! I know.
I'm working on something right now so
Oh Ted, please. Not your comics again!
Magic, not sweet.
Crazy scientists, definitely not sweet
And what is that?
Well, yes
You know since I was a kid,
I've always dreamed of making
a comic book about dinosaurs
Ugly lizard.
Yuck
Ted. You're a true artist
and what's more you have a talent.
- Thank you
- So, stop wasting it!
Do you really want your work
to reach millions of people?
- Yes
- Then do exactly as I say!
We're launching a new magazine for kids.
And I need a super sweet
and cute character by tomorrow morning.
Something like
- Something like this!
- Oh!
Meow!
Yeah, okay But my comic books
Ted! Grow up! You can't have everything.
Okay.
Not so fast.
In order to make room for something new,
we must cut ourselves off from the past.
- Chop-chop!
- Chop-chop
These reptiles, they stand
in the way of our success.
Erase them and make room
for something new and sweet.
- But I am not sure that sweet is?
- Ted!
Fine. Whatever. Here, for reference.
Cute character, nine am tomorrow. Meow!
Chop-chop
Can you hear that?
Ah, I heard you. You want adventures
- Good, good, yes!
- Yes, but
Kid, young diplodocus walks:
two legs, great adventures!
Go! Go!
Don't you hear that?!
- Yes, I hear you Old diplodocus
- four legs, small adventures
- Very, very old diplodocus
- no more adventures.
I wish they weren't here!
Then I could go wherever I wanted!
Calm down, it's just a thick fog!
- What's happening?
- No!
Run away, baby
Mom?
Mom?
Are you there?
I'm sorry, buddy.
I wish there was some other way.
I don't wanna be here!
Help! I don't wanna be here!
I don't wanna be here!
Our humble,
local wizards' contest on Planet Fear
is finally coming to an end.
- Ok, ok Magic, magic, not so tragic
- The last participant, as usual
is Hocus Pocus.
Excuse me! "Powerful Lord" Hocus Pocus!
Powerful?
Powerful
Attention! In a moment you will be
witnessing an amazing performance called
"Amazing performance"!
I give you the miracle of transformation!
Not again?!
What are these childish tricks
for amateur beginner kindergartners?!
Bravo!
- What?! Attacking the jury?!
- Disqualification!
What?! Me?! Disqua Disqualiqua
I'll be back!
It's you lizard.
- Where am I?
- You don't know?! Planet Fear.
My my family disappeared. Because of me
- Dad! Teach me how to do magic.
- Hocus Pocus, you're not ready yet
Ouch! Fine.
The first spell
is turning something into a mouse.
- You raise the wand and
- Like that?
- No!
- What happened?!
- Daddy turned into a mouse!
- How?!
Like that.
No!
Yeah, I hate it when that happens
You ruined my show! Who sent you?
I don't know! I sent myself I guess
Whatever.
I was angry with my parents and I wished
for them to go away.
And then I wanted to be somewhere else!
Don't lie to me. You've just
escaped from the zoo, didn't you?
I'm not lying!
I swear on my pterodactyl grandpa's life!
Oh yeah? Then show me
how you do it, reptile!
I don't wanna be here!
What was that? Where are?
It's magic!
We can travel the worlds.
Hurry! I can still win the competition!
- Let's go back to Planet Fear.
- How?
Wait. What do you mean, "How?"
I'm not sure how this works.
I cover my eyes with my ears,
say "I don't wanna be here",
I disappear and then
I never know where I land.
Wait a second
I've just
What are you two doing here?
The Fog It's chasing me.
That's your work too? Not bad, man.
One day you could be as good as me
Back! Stand back! I mean stand back!
Entomology! Mission successful!
We captured two time warp anomalies!
Do you not know who I am?!
I am a master of black magic,
as black as this robe
It's a great honor for you to meet me!
Diplodocus Longus
from 300 million years ago.
How did you get here?
This fog It took my parents
You mean "The Blankness".
It has claimed many.
But finally
there is a chance to get a sample.
Oh no. He's a Scientist.
Entomology, fly as close as possible.
- Closer.
- No. It's too dangerous!
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes
Yes!
Hold on!
- Is everybody okay?
- Of course! We have the sample!
What?! Purple?!
Oh. I'll take that. That's mine!
Professor Nervekowsky.
Yeah, yeah.
The one and only lord Hocus Pocus.
And I'm Entomology. Nice to meet you.
Diplodocus. Where am I?
Welcome to Nervesville.
Ah, good.
We made it back right in time for dinner.
Hello. Hi
- Just checking, how we're doing.
- Great! Yes, great!
I'm great
- I'm just finishing erasing
- What?!
I'm checking how you're doing
with the cute character design!
- The clock is ticking!
- I know I have this great idea
of making like this sweet, smiling
little teapot.
- Whatever. Remember, nine
- Of course I remember. Yes, nine p.m.?
- A.m.!
- Of course
Please! I need to go to the lab!
- Not now!
- Purple.
Let's calm down first
and have some nice cake.
Purple?
What is it about purple?
Strange. Where did
these unusual ears come from?
My parents used them
to pull me out of trouble
Forgive him Conspiracy theories
and anomalies are Professor's thing
- "Anomalies"?!
- Oh yes Anomalies.
- This fog goes wherever I go.
- "The Blankness".
Not necessarily.
I've seen it before I met you.
- You have?
- Yes. I've studied it my whole life.
These phenomena pose
a direct threat to our civilization!
"The blankness" leaves nothing, emptiness.
Everything's lost!
So, my parents
There, there, Diplodocus.
We do not really know
what's happened to your family.
I mean things don't just disappear:
when I pick tomatoes, new ones grow
Yes! Everything is very complicated!
Okay, kid. Look.
You lost your parents, right?
Tough, it happens.
- We're leaving, dragon.
- I'm not a dragon!
What is "The Blankness" exactly?
Follow me!
It's useless.
Yes. For some, it may
be difficult to understand.
The universe is a mystery:
black holes, holes in cheese,
holes in socks
Boring.
Let's start with matrix mechanics.
It had been created and developed
before wave mechanics was even discovered.
It is natural to consider
a set of all solutions
in a linear differential equation
Abstract framework
is uniform, a linear vector space.
To sum up, after years I know that
After years I know that all of these
anomalies, strange phenomenon
- I know this place! Been there!
- Really? You have?
It's the Bermuda Rectangle,
a very mysterious place
On this map I've gathered
all the mysterious places
- where the disappearances took place
- Disappearances?
- Oh, yes, yes.
- "The Blankness" disappearances
After years I know that they result from
the action of one unknown great power!
Power?
Does this great power know
what happened to my parents?
I think we could solve the mystery
of your family's disappearance
if we discovered where that power is.
- Isn't that right, professor?
- Exactly! Now watch this!
Now, whenever I cannot find
a second sock, I throw one in here
It prints
geographical coordinates for the lost one!
- See?! See?!
- A top-notch magic trick.
- It really is amazing!
- Yes! Yes!
Now. Using the sample of blankness,
instead of a sock,
we should get a map
leading to where the great power is!
And I hope not
to the other sock of course.
A map to mom
Right.
Oh! Got it!
Give it to me!
Never trust science.
- What does it mean?
- That the ink ran out.
No. The printer's fine.
This is our map!
- I'll check the printer.
- There's nothing on it
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
Zero! Brilliant!
Zero-zero?
The computer showed us
geographic coordinates: zero-zero!
And what's in there?
- What's in there?
- Nothing! Zero! It all makes sense!
Let's go!
Autopilot turned on!
My grandpa said he did a lot of traveling.
He probably saw all of
What? I fell asleep out of boredom.
We are so slow. Let's use your power!
No! I would jump to who knows where
and something bad could happen to us!
- Yeah! It's called "adventure"!
- Maybe we could fly faster
- Entomology, could we
- You called me, Diplodocus?
- Could we fly less-slow?
- The rocket is called Piece-Of-Junk 723.
Its performance is unreliable
but it has an excellent paint finish.
Speeds over 50 are not allowed.
But
"Nothing is allowed!
It is best not to go anywhere.
Just sit at home and blah, blah".
No, stop!
Yes! Come on!
Have you lost your mind?! Give me that.
Impact completed!
What a nosedive!
- Yeah!
- Having fun?
Hey, admit that it made you laugh a bit.
- I have no time for a sense of humor.
- Where is the source of "The Blankness"?
Oh! These gentlemen might know.
Right. They are angry because of the nose.
Do you really understand
what they are saying?
I learned a few
ancient languages in high school.
- Something above
- Too simple, my child.
When you live as long as I do,
you understand that
the answers do not fall from the sky.
- If you say so
- I just did.
These ancient wise men have shown us
"The symbol" of the place
where we should go.
Brilliant!
Let's go!
Sleeping onions
Maybe I could sweeten them up?
Thank you.
I hope this is the right place.
- Hope often blinks at a fool.
- But apparently fortune favors fools.
Professor, why did the ancient Egyptians
want us to come here?
Let me guess. The Scientists
have brought us to yet another
place that does not make any sense.
If you're such a great wizard,
conjure up a solution yourself!
Yeah!
Excuse me
- Hey, you! Sleeping beauty!
- Hey! Stop it!
I'm looking for the great power
that lives in this place!
No!
The Blankness!
It is such a beautiful morning!
I have been sleeping for so long!
The blankness has erased them.
And then new ones are created!
It's amazing!
The great power is somewhere here!
Not singing again.
Do excuse me!
It appeared just like that!
Fascinating!
Could you please take a look at this map?
We're looking for this place
- Something is wrong!
- It's a trap!
A trap?!
There! The rocket!
- Diplodocus! Hocus Pocus!
- Diplodocus! Hocus Pocus!
Help!
Please! Help!
There!
This can't be the end!
No one will know about my greatness!
I don't want to be here!
- What happened?!
- I'm not sure
They're gone
Just like Diplodocus' parents
Entomology?
It's because of the onions.
- Was it the great power?
- No. It's something different.
I think I have an idea.
Focus, Diplodocus!
- What?!
- Watch where you're going!
- You didn't say "I don't wanna be here"!
- I thought it!
- Can't you somehow steer or something?!
- I'm trying!
- It's not here.
- What's not here?
- What?
- Oh! A talking donkey!
- A talking dinosaur.
- What is this donkey doing here?
I would like to know that myself.
Sometimes I feel like a book character
whose author never finished the novel.
- Abandoned Frozen in time and place
- Exactly, place.
Do you know this place?
We've looked everywhere
Why look everywhere for something
that is everywhere?
Everywhere?
On the rare occasions when we
can escape our physical imprisonment
through meditation or dreams
we're inclined to admit
that the universe isn't just a dream
and we might consider an act of creation
of our reality,
whether by some entity
with a personal identity involved,
- or rather the impersonal Absolute
- Oh no. He's a philosopher!
We're surrounded!
Hey! Relax!
You need to relax.
You're getting better
and better with your skills!
- Really?
- Can't you see?
You're pulling us
out of trouble all the time!
At last, these long ears
turned out to be useful!
I can control the flight!
Kind of
Wasn't that bad.
- I still need more practice
- Well, well, well
You look exactly like my
300 million years old
great-great-great-great
great-great cousin!
Well, yes, "cousin"
Do you know anything about this place?
I am supposed to meet my family there
Of course.
I know a secret passage,
only for the brave
- In your snout?
- All the way down.
If you say so.
Come on, keep your cool!
Reptiles are cold-blooded
so it's easier for you.
- And I don't trust him.
- He's family!
Precisely.
Hey! Don't leave me!
Strange.
I can't see this mystery passage
that he was talking about.
You don't say?! Who would have thought
What's happening?
He's getting ready to digest
the two tasty treats in his stomach.
Do you think that
there is no secret passage?
I will never find my family
if I listen to adults all the time!
Exactly! Don't trust them, trust me!
What?!
- Is it here? You found it?
- No.
This used to be my home.
Don't be sad
Thanks to that, you know
that you have nowhere to go.
So, now since you can jump
exactly where you want,
we can have some decent adventures!
Like we could go to Planet Fear!
No. Now that I can jump
exactly where I want to,
we'll go back to our friends.
Why are we even here, professor?
I don't get it.
When we met Diplodocus he said
he was here before, remember?
True.
He pointed at the drawing
of this place in the lab!
- Yes.
- I thought maybe he somehow got back here.
- Yes. And what sorry what is this place?
- Bermuda Rectangle!
- A terrifying place
- No, no. Wasn't it a Triangle?
The Triangle. Yes, yes.
No one returned from the Triangle.
But even more people mysteriously
disappeared in the Rectangle!
I better watch out for my wallet then.
These pipes could be the legendary sirens
that brought sailors to ruin
with their angelic singing!
Singing again?!
Oh, accidentally
- Professor!
- Accidentally!
The waterquake!
So? Any doubts about my magical powers?
My calculations were correct!
- I knew we'd meet Diplodocus here.
- How did you?
I don't really understand it either.
But somehow I can travel between worlds.
- It's impossible.
- Says the scientist.
Well, whatever you went through,
I'm happy you went through it.
Your attention please!
Let's face it We couldn't read the map
that marked the place where the source
of extraterrestrial great power is
Our mission failed.
We weren't able to help you, Diplodocus
But it all ends one day, even sadness.
After every storm,
the sun comes out again.
I do believe one day
you'll find your place in the sun.
The sun
The place from our map is the sun!
It's rectangular too!
I don't know, it seems too simple
Yes, the sun is rectangular,
everybody knows that.
- Remember?! Donkey said it's everywhere!
- I don't trust smart donkeys.
All of the worlds we visited
have one thing in common, the sun!
It's everywhere!
The ancient Egyptian pointed up!
Sure, ancient Egyptians worshiped the sun.
But it could be just a coincidence.
You really want to believe it
because you miss your family
- You're tired
- I'm not tired!
If you don't believe me
I'll jump to the sun without you!
No! I don't know
how you do all this "jumping",
but you will burn
if you teleport to a gassy cube
that has a temperature
of 5500 degrees Celsius!
Sounds like a great power!
Ever been there?
Is there no way to get there safely?
Maybe We could take our rocket there?
Alright, let us fry
I mean try.
But first, we have to protect ourselves
from the sun's deadly rays!
Is it the end yet?
Oh Sorry I'm a little too early.
My apologies, see you later.
So hungry
Admire the views, Entomology.
This is space.
Boring. I've already seen it
on TV and in science fiction films.
Because of you, the greatest wizard
in the world will perish!
- I hope you're happy!
- Strange
we are in the sun
but it is not getting any hotter
You filled my inbox with pictures
of onions? Are you out of your mind?
- I thought
- Stop! No more thinking!
Nobody is interested in your ideas!
I showed you a sweet little kitty.
I even left it at your studio
so you could just copy it!
Kitties sell.
I want a cute kitty by nine am!
Do as I say or you're fired!
Are you alright?
- I'm fine!
- Not you.
Hang on This is? It's just paper!
It's here!
- Mom! Dad! Grandpa!
- No!
No! Stop! Do not touch a thing!
Want something sweet.
I'll give you something sweet!
This is sweet.
It's very, very sweet.
I'll give you sweet.
Sweet.
I'll give you sweet.
- Some kind of giant.
- Can it see "moi"?
No.
My guess is: he can see
just this little piece of land
only as much as
this window allows him to see
I did it!
Yes!
I did it! I did it! Yes!
What is this?!
- It's so much color
- My eyes!
The great power is an Artist!
And we are cartoons
Excuse you, I am not some cartoon!
I am a great wizard
So this great Artist
erased my family and did this?!
Help me reach it!
I'll force him to fix what's broken!
Go on, what are you waiting for?
Quick! Help me!
Do something!
- What have you done?!
- Yes. What have you done?!
I wanna be like him!
He must give me back my family!
Change him back!
Not now I have to do something else.
Watch out! The cat!
This is not the way to send the Artist
back to his world.
He must be sent outside
and control our world from the outside
- Is that yours? I will keep it for you.
- The Artist is not safe here.
If anything happens to him,
we're done for
I need to get to my lab do tests
- But how?
- Hop in.
You made that weird cat yourself
and it almost got you!
Fascinating.
Look at the variety of styles!
These are spectacular!
Everything the Artist has ever drawn
is here, in these rectangles.
- Is all this your creation?
- So many different worlds!
I would have drawn it better.
Look at these! These must be really old.
Why did you erase my world?
You really should work
on your landing skills!
I never meant
to jump with a crowd of people!
Could you please give back
draw my parents again?
One moment! What about my nose?!
Here you go.
- That's impossible
- His magic wand!
Not again
Give it back to the Artist!
Let him draw my family!
Just look at him! He can't even lift it!
Then change him back!
Wake up
Stop it! You're ruining my landscape!
The Artist became his own creation
which makes no sense,
making our world
stop making sense as well!
Oh dear
- Well, well. What a turning point.
- Oh, no. The Philosopher again!
- The pencil perforated the sheet
- To another story?
I was surprised too. You could say
that we are on the same page,
even though we are on different pages.
We live in a comic book!
- I actually love comic books.
- It's nice but
I prefer the term "graphic novel".
It's disappointing that in these days
we still need to convince people
that a graphic novel
It's not a toy! You've done enough damage!
Our world is in danger now
that the Artist is here.
Where are you going?!
What are you doing?! Get back here!
Everything was simpler
before all this travel nonsense.
I would give you
some of my gingerbread house,
but I'm saving it for Hansel and Gretel.
Oh, yes. Turning you into a mouse
The spell is so Hocus Pocus.
Mean and unfortunately,
irreversibly stupid.
At school he was the class clown.
No one respected him.
The One trick Wizard
I'll get some more tea.
What? Oh, cat!
Have you seen a bearded mouse
with a hat somewhere?
We need to restore
the order of things first!
What about my parents?! I'm the one
who found the Artist and the pencil!
This pencil is our only chance
to send him back!
- But why send him back?!
- Listen, kid!
Don't bother me
if you don't know what's going on.
I have an important thing to do here!
The pencil and the mouse stay with me!
catapults and then
calculate Planck's constant
It's over I guess.
The professor will send back the Artist
and you will never
get to see your parents.
Wait a minute
I must have a tape around here somewhere
with an instructional video
about traveling by cannon
Turn him back quickly so that
he can draw my parents here and now!
What? No!
No! This is too trivial!
- I have a better idea!
- What idea?
I already drew myself a nose, didn't I?
I might as well draw your parents!
- I guess
- Yeah! The great family reunion!
Such an event requires
a special setting though.
I know! Let's jump
to my world, to Planet Fear.
I will draw your family
as part of the magician's competition!
- Competition?
- I will be a better Artist than him!
I will draw adventures
that everyone likes.
And I will never erase any of it.
We just need to steal the magical pencil.
- What do you mean "steal"?
- Oh, did I say "steal"? Borrow.
I meant: borrow it for a bit!
Stop these pranks!
- Clear.
- Please, I can't work!
The great power is mine!
Now, that's what I was looking for!
A rare example
that art can be anyhow useful.
I heard a noise. What's going on here?
And this? Where are they?
Good evening! Everything's all right?
So, here we go!
Another contestant running for the title
of greatest wizard in the world!
- Excuse me!
- No, excuse me.
Cheap!
It's for the Artist's protection.
These pathetic tricks
can never compare to this!
I have captured the greatest wizard!
I have freed you from his tyranny.
From now on,
the fate of the entire world is in my
is in my hands!
Do you see this lizard?!
Yes, I am talking to you, beast.
Come up here. What is your name?
Did your parents never teach you
how to be nice?
Parents Yes.
The tyrant took yours away, correct?
- Yes
- Describe your parents to me
and I will bring
those terrifying beasts back to life!
Professor
It's his wand Broken!
- We cannot give up!
- We're done for! Nothing matters
- What do you mean "nothing"?
- Nothing.
- Your mother! She was enormous, right?
- Yes.
When I went to bed,
she always covered me with a big leaf
and kissed me before I was falling asleep.
Yeah, never mind that.
Big sharp teeth,
which she used to rip up her prey?
We eat weeds.
Alright. Next, father.
- He was frightening, was he not?
- A bit, yes.
He acted strict, but he had a big heart.
All in all
my parents were not that bad
My parents were not that bad!
What is wrong?! I drew what you wanted!
Give it to me! I won!
Are you all right, young man?
Oh great. Did you come to laugh at me too?
Thanks for trying but
you simply don't know how to draw.
He does. Maybe it's time
to give the Artist his pencil back.
Never! I'm only a great wizard
because of the pencil!
- What about my parents? And me?
- Me! Me! Me!
I don't care about your parents,
your problems or you!
But you promised
Mom?
Mom?
I don't have the mouse! Just go away!
What are you Wait, it is not a toy!
Really does kind of smell like a mouse
No! No!
Oh no
You want me to be happy but
Hey!
All this? Everything?
You drew all this
Yes, I know.
Oh, I see
Someone else tells you what to do?
I know how you feel.
I'm being told what to do all the time
You're alright too.
You know what?
Why aren't we doing what we want?!
Entomology
After all these years,
you made me some tea.
It is the end of the world, professor!
I regret that I only made you tea
when everything is falling into darkness.
Nervekowsky
Even in the darkest darkness,
a star can shine!
I've observed the most distant stars
while the brightest of them
has been right here beside
Diplodocus! First, you disappear
without asking and then
- and then you reappear without asking!
- I'm sorry!
- And take the pencil without asking!
- I did something very stupid
- But I think I know how to fix it!
- Fix it?!
The world will fall apart,
because the Artist is here!
At the moment nobody
is creating our story!
That's why we should write
the next parts ourselves.
But how?!
We're nothing but drawn characters!
So what? We come from different stories
but thanks to my power to jump between
them, we were able to get together!
- And that wasn't planned by the Artist.
- Ok, wait
- And here's my plan!
- Wait! Where is Hocus Pocus?
He did what?!
Let me. First point:
we stop Hocus Pocus and take the pencil.
And return it to the rightful owner.
Second point:
Hocus Pocus has to transform the Artist.
He broke his wand,
but I fixed it with duct tape!
The last point: Thanks to my power
I'll jump with the Artist to his world
so that he can draw my parents there.
No! You can jump between
different stories drawn by the Artist,
but jumping into his world
is something completely different!
Don't you remember what happened
to Hocus Pocus' nose?
You don't belong in the Artist's world.
You won't survive there!
Yes, he's right. You're a part of a comic
book and you must stay in a comic book.
Yes, but How else
can we send the Artist away?
Hang on!
- Do you know this film?
- What's a film?
A film is Although I am a professor,
you still can learn something from me.
I've prepared a small presenta
tion.
"Le Voyage dans la Lune"
is an educational film
about traveling to the moon with a cannon.
Instead of going to the moon,
we'll fire the cannon into the sun.
The Artist will be seated in a bullet.
As you know, the pencil
can pierce a piece of paper
and overcome the barrier between worlds.
That is why we will use a pencil as
a projectile which will dig into the sun.
This way, the Artist will get out and
you will not have to risk your own life.
- Did you just make this?
- Bravo, professor! Bravo.
Help!
- This is Planet Fear
- Somebody help me!
- Come on! There's nothing to fear!
- Help!
Where did you learn to hop like that?
When I hopped to the newsagent
for the newspapers.
Somebody help me!
Help!
- Diplodocus! It is wonderful to see you!
- You said you don't care about me.
I smell hypocrisy.
You'd smell it too, if you had a nose.
I know, it was wrong
I apologize to all of you
for accidentally destroying the world.
Well, exactly! What's all that?!
I didn't do it! The cat drew it.
- That sweet cat?!
- Where is the pencil?
The cat must be playing with it.
Somewhere here.
Hey! Take me down!
Fine, you are right:
I'm a bad wizard, I've always been
Just please! Take me down! Come on!
We've got it!
Not sweet!
Please! Let me down! Come on!
Let me down! Please!
Not sweet!
Cute character. Chop-chop!
Whatever. Meow.
I will never make that mistake again.
If you wanna fix your mistake,
turn the Artist back into a human!
But I've already told you
I am a bad wizard!
This is not the time for examining your
conscience. Good or bad, transform him!
You don't understand,
I cannot change the spell.
I only know one spell:
turning stuff into a mouse.
And that's it
What?! You made me like this!
I thought that when I became
the new Artist, I wouldn't be alone
I would gain some respect
But I respect you. And like you.
Not your comics! Not sweet! Chop-chop!
Do something with your only spell!
Okay.
It's beautiful.
Why didn't you sing before?
I guess I didn't have
a good enough reason to do so.
Watch out!
Whatever. Meow.
Comics.
Where is Entomology?
What?
- No
- At least I didn't do that.
Meow!
Not so fast.
He's got the power of the Artist!
If I just jumped to the Artist's world
with him, will he be a mouse forever?
I do not know Nothing in his world
is the same as in our world.
- You'll disappear just like my nose!
- There's no other choice.
No!
- I can't jump outside!
- What?!
I can't overcome the barrier!
Erase them. Chop-chop!
Not sweet.
I am too young to become sweet
We must protect the Artist at all costs!
If the cat catches him, it is really over!
Only the pencil can
make a hole in a paper
It could tear the sun! I have an idea!
What is that?
We were planning to shoot
the Artist to the sun with this.
You are so cute
Oh, my sweet cutie pie
Chop-chop! Erase them.
Not sweet.
You can't cast a spell that far!
What are you doing?
The best trick of my life.
Hide! I'll distract him!
Hey! Catch me if you can!
I'm a big fat tasty mouse!
Come on! Face your equal!
No!
Fire
Bye-bye! Bon voyage!
Whatever.
What a strange dream
That's me?
Dip But how did you?
You made it! And look I'm human again!
Diplodocus You're disappearing!
Quickly, go back into the comic book!
It doesn't work in this world.
I guess it's not up to me whether
I am in your comic book or not.
It's been a great adventure.
- Yeah?
- Nine am. Time is up.
- Where's my sweet kitty?
- Nowhere. I don't want to do it anymore.
You are fired.
And I want you to know, that I've
never, ever, in my entire carrier
worked with anyone so incompetent
- What were you thinking?!
- Dad!
I found you.
Never left.
- It's so scary out there
- Mom!
- You seem taller, somehow?
- You remember anything at all?
- The fog?
- What?
I'd like to introduce you to my friends.
- I'll take you somewhere.
- All your friends are here.
Come closer.
I need to jump 15 meters further,
not to land on a roof again
I'm not going anywhere
You can conjure up
the most amazing things with grout!
He's helping me with a small project.
In case Diplodocus visits us again.
To avoid damage to our roof,
I decided to move our house by 15 meters!
Brilliant.
- What on earth is this colorful swamp?
- Look how clean this place is!
So good to see you, Diplodocus!
Son, where did you get
those funny, talking toys?!
Excuse my husband.
It's his first visit outside of the swamp.
This is my family.
And this is mine.
It is really nice to meet you!
We've heard so much about you.
Good day, good head!
Son I
You were right.
- Life doesn't need to be like our wall.
- "Grey and boring"?
Thank you for showing us
that the world can be such a
such a beautiful place.
Oh, yes
There you go!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I have a question.
- Yes?
Where did you get all of these ideas from?
Actually I've experienced it all,
as a mouse.
An enchanted mouse, inside my comic book.
And then I wrote down everything,
as well as I could.
Ok, let's get to it.
Very nice Delicious flavor.
Surprising textures
Even a bit sweet.
Goodbye.
Thus, I gave birth
to the mammals on our planet.
To be honest,
that's nothing to be proud of.
Hello. My name is Bookworm.
I'm a respected devourer
of picture stories.
I'll come over at the end.
Now, have a nice show.
- Dinner time!
- Coming, mom!
Mom! Dad!
Ouch! You'll stretch it out even more!
- What were you thinking?!
- Awesome!
Awesome?! Life is not a fairy tale!
Life is a It's
It's so scary out there!
- Have you been?
- No But I've heard it's terrible!
Grandpa's right!
Life, it should be just like this wall!
- Grey and boring?
- No! Simple. Ordinary. And safe!
You will stay here,
with us until you grow up
or longer like
some of our proud ancestors.
We have everything we need right here!
Safety, nature, fresh air, friends
- What about adventures?
- Adventures?!
Diplo, you're still just a child
This is where we've lived for generations.
It is what it is but we have each other
I'd rather be anywhere than here!
Well that's what's going to happen
if you mess with the order of things!
I wish I was alone! I'd do what I want!
As you wish! To your room! Now!
- Yeah?
- How is my favorite artist doing?
- Cool! Everything is
- Then open the door.
Okay
Ah. What a "charming" studio.
Ted, every great artist
needs a great publisher.
So when can I expect something proper
from you to publish?
I can't wait forever!
Yes! I know.
I'm working on something right now so
Oh Ted, please. Not your comics again!
Magic, not sweet.
Crazy scientists, definitely not sweet
And what is that?
Well, yes
You know since I was a kid,
I've always dreamed of making
a comic book about dinosaurs
Ugly lizard.
Yuck
Ted. You're a true artist
and what's more you have a talent.
- Thank you
- So, stop wasting it!
Do you really want your work
to reach millions of people?
- Yes
- Then do exactly as I say!
We're launching a new magazine for kids.
And I need a super sweet
and cute character by tomorrow morning.
Something like
- Something like this!
- Oh!
Meow!
Yeah, okay But my comic books
Ted! Grow up! You can't have everything.
Okay.
Not so fast.
In order to make room for something new,
we must cut ourselves off from the past.
- Chop-chop!
- Chop-chop
These reptiles, they stand
in the way of our success.
Erase them and make room
for something new and sweet.
- But I am not sure that sweet is?
- Ted!
Fine. Whatever. Here, for reference.
Cute character, nine am tomorrow. Meow!
Chop-chop
Can you hear that?
Ah, I heard you. You want adventures
- Good, good, yes!
- Yes, but
Kid, young diplodocus walks:
two legs, great adventures!
Go! Go!
Don't you hear that?!
- Yes, I hear you Old diplodocus
- four legs, small adventures
- Very, very old diplodocus
- no more adventures.
I wish they weren't here!
Then I could go wherever I wanted!
Calm down, it's just a thick fog!
- What's happening?
- No!
Run away, baby
Mom?
Mom?
Are you there?
I'm sorry, buddy.
I wish there was some other way.
I don't wanna be here!
Help! I don't wanna be here!
I don't wanna be here!
Our humble,
local wizards' contest on Planet Fear
is finally coming to an end.
- Ok, ok Magic, magic, not so tragic
- The last participant, as usual
is Hocus Pocus.
Excuse me! "Powerful Lord" Hocus Pocus!
Powerful?
Powerful
Attention! In a moment you will be
witnessing an amazing performance called
"Amazing performance"!
I give you the miracle of transformation!
Not again?!
What are these childish tricks
for amateur beginner kindergartners?!
Bravo!
- What?! Attacking the jury?!
- Disqualification!
What?! Me?! Disqua Disqualiqua
I'll be back!
It's you lizard.
- Where am I?
- You don't know?! Planet Fear.
My my family disappeared. Because of me
- Dad! Teach me how to do magic.
- Hocus Pocus, you're not ready yet
Ouch! Fine.
The first spell
is turning something into a mouse.
- You raise the wand and
- Like that?
- No!
- What happened?!
- Daddy turned into a mouse!
- How?!
Like that.
No!
Yeah, I hate it when that happens
You ruined my show! Who sent you?
I don't know! I sent myself I guess
Whatever.
I was angry with my parents and I wished
for them to go away.
And then I wanted to be somewhere else!
Don't lie to me. You've just
escaped from the zoo, didn't you?
I'm not lying!
I swear on my pterodactyl grandpa's life!
Oh yeah? Then show me
how you do it, reptile!
I don't wanna be here!
What was that? Where are?
It's magic!
We can travel the worlds.
Hurry! I can still win the competition!
- Let's go back to Planet Fear.
- How?
Wait. What do you mean, "How?"
I'm not sure how this works.
I cover my eyes with my ears,
say "I don't wanna be here",
I disappear and then
I never know where I land.
Wait a second
I've just
What are you two doing here?
The Fog It's chasing me.
That's your work too? Not bad, man.
One day you could be as good as me
Back! Stand back! I mean stand back!
Entomology! Mission successful!
We captured two time warp anomalies!
Do you not know who I am?!
I am a master of black magic,
as black as this robe
It's a great honor for you to meet me!
Diplodocus Longus
from 300 million years ago.
How did you get here?
This fog It took my parents
You mean "The Blankness".
It has claimed many.
But finally
there is a chance to get a sample.
Oh no. He's a Scientist.
Entomology, fly as close as possible.
- Closer.
- No. It's too dangerous!
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes
Yes!
Hold on!
- Is everybody okay?
- Of course! We have the sample!
What?! Purple?!
Oh. I'll take that. That's mine!
Professor Nervekowsky.
Yeah, yeah.
The one and only lord Hocus Pocus.
And I'm Entomology. Nice to meet you.
Diplodocus. Where am I?
Welcome to Nervesville.
Ah, good.
We made it back right in time for dinner.
Hello. Hi
- Just checking, how we're doing.
- Great! Yes, great!
I'm great
- I'm just finishing erasing
- What?!
I'm checking how you're doing
with the cute character design!
- The clock is ticking!
- I know I have this great idea
of making like this sweet, smiling
little teapot.
- Whatever. Remember, nine
- Of course I remember. Yes, nine p.m.?
- A.m.!
- Of course
Please! I need to go to the lab!
- Not now!
- Purple.
Let's calm down first
and have some nice cake.
Purple?
What is it about purple?
Strange. Where did
these unusual ears come from?
My parents used them
to pull me out of trouble
Forgive him Conspiracy theories
and anomalies are Professor's thing
- "Anomalies"?!
- Oh yes Anomalies.
- This fog goes wherever I go.
- "The Blankness".
Not necessarily.
I've seen it before I met you.
- You have?
- Yes. I've studied it my whole life.
These phenomena pose
a direct threat to our civilization!
"The blankness" leaves nothing, emptiness.
Everything's lost!
So, my parents
There, there, Diplodocus.
We do not really know
what's happened to your family.
I mean things don't just disappear:
when I pick tomatoes, new ones grow
Yes! Everything is very complicated!
Okay, kid. Look.
You lost your parents, right?
Tough, it happens.
- We're leaving, dragon.
- I'm not a dragon!
What is "The Blankness" exactly?
Follow me!
It's useless.
Yes. For some, it may
be difficult to understand.
The universe is a mystery:
black holes, holes in cheese,
holes in socks
Boring.
Let's start with matrix mechanics.
It had been created and developed
before wave mechanics was even discovered.
It is natural to consider
a set of all solutions
in a linear differential equation
Abstract framework
is uniform, a linear vector space.
To sum up, after years I know that
After years I know that all of these
anomalies, strange phenomenon
- I know this place! Been there!
- Really? You have?
It's the Bermuda Rectangle,
a very mysterious place
On this map I've gathered
all the mysterious places
- where the disappearances took place
- Disappearances?
- Oh, yes, yes.
- "The Blankness" disappearances
After years I know that they result from
the action of one unknown great power!
Power?
Does this great power know
what happened to my parents?
I think we could solve the mystery
of your family's disappearance
if we discovered where that power is.
- Isn't that right, professor?
- Exactly! Now watch this!
Now, whenever I cannot find
a second sock, I throw one in here
It prints
geographical coordinates for the lost one!
- See?! See?!
- A top-notch magic trick.
- It really is amazing!
- Yes! Yes!
Now. Using the sample of blankness,
instead of a sock,
we should get a map
leading to where the great power is!
And I hope not
to the other sock of course.
A map to mom
Right.
Oh! Got it!
Give it to me!
Never trust science.
- What does it mean?
- That the ink ran out.
No. The printer's fine.
This is our map!
- I'll check the printer.
- There's nothing on it
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
Zero! Brilliant!
Zero-zero?
The computer showed us
geographic coordinates: zero-zero!
And what's in there?
- What's in there?
- Nothing! Zero! It all makes sense!
Let's go!
Autopilot turned on!
My grandpa said he did a lot of traveling.
He probably saw all of
What? I fell asleep out of boredom.
We are so slow. Let's use your power!
No! I would jump to who knows where
and something bad could happen to us!
- Yeah! It's called "adventure"!
- Maybe we could fly faster
- Entomology, could we
- You called me, Diplodocus?
- Could we fly less-slow?
- The rocket is called Piece-Of-Junk 723.
Its performance is unreliable
but it has an excellent paint finish.
Speeds over 50 are not allowed.
But
"Nothing is allowed!
It is best not to go anywhere.
Just sit at home and blah, blah".
No, stop!
Yes! Come on!
Have you lost your mind?! Give me that.
Impact completed!
What a nosedive!
- Yeah!
- Having fun?
Hey, admit that it made you laugh a bit.
- I have no time for a sense of humor.
- Where is the source of "The Blankness"?
Oh! These gentlemen might know.
Right. They are angry because of the nose.
Do you really understand
what they are saying?
I learned a few
ancient languages in high school.
- Something above
- Too simple, my child.
When you live as long as I do,
you understand that
the answers do not fall from the sky.
- If you say so
- I just did.
These ancient wise men have shown us
"The symbol" of the place
where we should go.
Brilliant!
Let's go!
Sleeping onions
Maybe I could sweeten them up?
Thank you.
I hope this is the right place.
- Hope often blinks at a fool.
- But apparently fortune favors fools.
Professor, why did the ancient Egyptians
want us to come here?
Let me guess. The Scientists
have brought us to yet another
place that does not make any sense.
If you're such a great wizard,
conjure up a solution yourself!
Yeah!
Excuse me
- Hey, you! Sleeping beauty!
- Hey! Stop it!
I'm looking for the great power
that lives in this place!
No!
The Blankness!
It is such a beautiful morning!
I have been sleeping for so long!
The blankness has erased them.
And then new ones are created!
It's amazing!
The great power is somewhere here!
Not singing again.
Do excuse me!
It appeared just like that!
Fascinating!
Could you please take a look at this map?
We're looking for this place
- Something is wrong!
- It's a trap!
A trap?!
There! The rocket!
- Diplodocus! Hocus Pocus!
- Diplodocus! Hocus Pocus!
Help!
Please! Help!
There!
This can't be the end!
No one will know about my greatness!
I don't want to be here!
- What happened?!
- I'm not sure
They're gone
Just like Diplodocus' parents
Entomology?
It's because of the onions.
- Was it the great power?
- No. It's something different.
I think I have an idea.
Focus, Diplodocus!
- What?!
- Watch where you're going!
- You didn't say "I don't wanna be here"!
- I thought it!
- Can't you somehow steer or something?!
- I'm trying!
- It's not here.
- What's not here?
- What?
- Oh! A talking donkey!
- A talking dinosaur.
- What is this donkey doing here?
I would like to know that myself.
Sometimes I feel like a book character
whose author never finished the novel.
- Abandoned Frozen in time and place
- Exactly, place.
Do you know this place?
We've looked everywhere
Why look everywhere for something
that is everywhere?
Everywhere?
On the rare occasions when we
can escape our physical imprisonment
through meditation or dreams
we're inclined to admit
that the universe isn't just a dream
and we might consider an act of creation
of our reality,
whether by some entity
with a personal identity involved,
- or rather the impersonal Absolute
- Oh no. He's a philosopher!
We're surrounded!
Hey! Relax!
You need to relax.
You're getting better
and better with your skills!
- Really?
- Can't you see?
You're pulling us
out of trouble all the time!
At last, these long ears
turned out to be useful!
I can control the flight!
Kind of
Wasn't that bad.
- I still need more practice
- Well, well, well
You look exactly like my
300 million years old
great-great-great-great
great-great cousin!
Well, yes, "cousin"
Do you know anything about this place?
I am supposed to meet my family there
Of course.
I know a secret passage,
only for the brave
- In your snout?
- All the way down.
If you say so.
Come on, keep your cool!
Reptiles are cold-blooded
so it's easier for you.
- And I don't trust him.
- He's family!
Precisely.
Hey! Don't leave me!
Strange.
I can't see this mystery passage
that he was talking about.
You don't say?! Who would have thought
What's happening?
He's getting ready to digest
the two tasty treats in his stomach.
Do you think that
there is no secret passage?
I will never find my family
if I listen to adults all the time!
Exactly! Don't trust them, trust me!
What?!
- Is it here? You found it?
- No.
This used to be my home.
Don't be sad
Thanks to that, you know
that you have nowhere to go.
So, now since you can jump
exactly where you want,
we can have some decent adventures!
Like we could go to Planet Fear!
No. Now that I can jump
exactly where I want to,
we'll go back to our friends.
Why are we even here, professor?
I don't get it.
When we met Diplodocus he said
he was here before, remember?
True.
He pointed at the drawing
of this place in the lab!
- Yes.
- I thought maybe he somehow got back here.
- Yes. And what sorry what is this place?
- Bermuda Rectangle!
- A terrifying place
- No, no. Wasn't it a Triangle?
The Triangle. Yes, yes.
No one returned from the Triangle.
But even more people mysteriously
disappeared in the Rectangle!
I better watch out for my wallet then.
These pipes could be the legendary sirens
that brought sailors to ruin
with their angelic singing!
Singing again?!
Oh, accidentally
- Professor!
- Accidentally!
The waterquake!
So? Any doubts about my magical powers?
My calculations were correct!
- I knew we'd meet Diplodocus here.
- How did you?
I don't really understand it either.
But somehow I can travel between worlds.
- It's impossible.
- Says the scientist.
Well, whatever you went through,
I'm happy you went through it.
Your attention please!
Let's face it We couldn't read the map
that marked the place where the source
of extraterrestrial great power is
Our mission failed.
We weren't able to help you, Diplodocus
But it all ends one day, even sadness.
After every storm,
the sun comes out again.
I do believe one day
you'll find your place in the sun.
The sun
The place from our map is the sun!
It's rectangular too!
I don't know, it seems too simple
Yes, the sun is rectangular,
everybody knows that.
- Remember?! Donkey said it's everywhere!
- I don't trust smart donkeys.
All of the worlds we visited
have one thing in common, the sun!
It's everywhere!
The ancient Egyptian pointed up!
Sure, ancient Egyptians worshiped the sun.
But it could be just a coincidence.
You really want to believe it
because you miss your family
- You're tired
- I'm not tired!
If you don't believe me
I'll jump to the sun without you!
No! I don't know
how you do all this "jumping",
but you will burn
if you teleport to a gassy cube
that has a temperature
of 5500 degrees Celsius!
Sounds like a great power!
Ever been there?
Is there no way to get there safely?
Maybe We could take our rocket there?
Alright, let us fry
I mean try.
But first, we have to protect ourselves
from the sun's deadly rays!
Is it the end yet?
Oh Sorry I'm a little too early.
My apologies, see you later.
So hungry
Admire the views, Entomology.
This is space.
Boring. I've already seen it
on TV and in science fiction films.
Because of you, the greatest wizard
in the world will perish!
- I hope you're happy!
- Strange
we are in the sun
but it is not getting any hotter
You filled my inbox with pictures
of onions? Are you out of your mind?
- I thought
- Stop! No more thinking!
Nobody is interested in your ideas!
I showed you a sweet little kitty.
I even left it at your studio
so you could just copy it!
Kitties sell.
I want a cute kitty by nine am!
Do as I say or you're fired!
Are you alright?
- I'm fine!
- Not you.
Hang on This is? It's just paper!
It's here!
- Mom! Dad! Grandpa!
- No!
No! Stop! Do not touch a thing!
Want something sweet.
I'll give you something sweet!
This is sweet.
It's very, very sweet.
I'll give you sweet.
Sweet.
I'll give you sweet.
- Some kind of giant.
- Can it see "moi"?
No.
My guess is: he can see
just this little piece of land
only as much as
this window allows him to see
I did it!
Yes!
I did it! I did it! Yes!
What is this?!
- It's so much color
- My eyes!
The great power is an Artist!
And we are cartoons
Excuse you, I am not some cartoon!
I am a great wizard
So this great Artist
erased my family and did this?!
Help me reach it!
I'll force him to fix what's broken!
Go on, what are you waiting for?
Quick! Help me!
Do something!
- What have you done?!
- Yes. What have you done?!
I wanna be like him!
He must give me back my family!
Change him back!
Not now I have to do something else.
Watch out! The cat!
This is not the way to send the Artist
back to his world.
He must be sent outside
and control our world from the outside
- Is that yours? I will keep it for you.
- The Artist is not safe here.
If anything happens to him,
we're done for
I need to get to my lab do tests
- But how?
- Hop in.
You made that weird cat yourself
and it almost got you!
Fascinating.
Look at the variety of styles!
These are spectacular!
Everything the Artist has ever drawn
is here, in these rectangles.
- Is all this your creation?
- So many different worlds!
I would have drawn it better.
Look at these! These must be really old.
Why did you erase my world?
You really should work
on your landing skills!
I never meant
to jump with a crowd of people!
Could you please give back
draw my parents again?
One moment! What about my nose?!
Here you go.
- That's impossible
- His magic wand!
Not again
Give it back to the Artist!
Let him draw my family!
Just look at him! He can't even lift it!
Then change him back!
Wake up
Stop it! You're ruining my landscape!
The Artist became his own creation
which makes no sense,
making our world
stop making sense as well!
Oh dear
- Well, well. What a turning point.
- Oh, no. The Philosopher again!
- The pencil perforated the sheet
- To another story?
I was surprised too. You could say
that we are on the same page,
even though we are on different pages.
We live in a comic book!
- I actually love comic books.
- It's nice but
I prefer the term "graphic novel".
It's disappointing that in these days
we still need to convince people
that a graphic novel
It's not a toy! You've done enough damage!
Our world is in danger now
that the Artist is here.
Where are you going?!
What are you doing?! Get back here!
Everything was simpler
before all this travel nonsense.
I would give you
some of my gingerbread house,
but I'm saving it for Hansel and Gretel.
Oh, yes. Turning you into a mouse
The spell is so Hocus Pocus.
Mean and unfortunately,
irreversibly stupid.
At school he was the class clown.
No one respected him.
The One trick Wizard
I'll get some more tea.
What? Oh, cat!
Have you seen a bearded mouse
with a hat somewhere?
We need to restore
the order of things first!
What about my parents?! I'm the one
who found the Artist and the pencil!
This pencil is our only chance
to send him back!
- But why send him back?!
- Listen, kid!
Don't bother me
if you don't know what's going on.
I have an important thing to do here!
The pencil and the mouse stay with me!
catapults and then
calculate Planck's constant
It's over I guess.
The professor will send back the Artist
and you will never
get to see your parents.
Wait a minute
I must have a tape around here somewhere
with an instructional video
about traveling by cannon
Turn him back quickly so that
he can draw my parents here and now!
What? No!
No! This is too trivial!
- I have a better idea!
- What idea?
I already drew myself a nose, didn't I?
I might as well draw your parents!
- I guess
- Yeah! The great family reunion!
Such an event requires
a special setting though.
I know! Let's jump
to my world, to Planet Fear.
I will draw your family
as part of the magician's competition!
- Competition?
- I will be a better Artist than him!
I will draw adventures
that everyone likes.
And I will never erase any of it.
We just need to steal the magical pencil.
- What do you mean "steal"?
- Oh, did I say "steal"? Borrow.
I meant: borrow it for a bit!
Stop these pranks!
- Clear.
- Please, I can't work!
The great power is mine!
Now, that's what I was looking for!
A rare example
that art can be anyhow useful.
I heard a noise. What's going on here?
And this? Where are they?
Good evening! Everything's all right?
So, here we go!
Another contestant running for the title
of greatest wizard in the world!
- Excuse me!
- No, excuse me.
Cheap!
It's for the Artist's protection.
These pathetic tricks
can never compare to this!
I have captured the greatest wizard!
I have freed you from his tyranny.
From now on,
the fate of the entire world is in my
is in my hands!
Do you see this lizard?!
Yes, I am talking to you, beast.
Come up here. What is your name?
Did your parents never teach you
how to be nice?
Parents Yes.
The tyrant took yours away, correct?
- Yes
- Describe your parents to me
and I will bring
those terrifying beasts back to life!
Professor
It's his wand Broken!
- We cannot give up!
- We're done for! Nothing matters
- What do you mean "nothing"?
- Nothing.
- Your mother! She was enormous, right?
- Yes.
When I went to bed,
she always covered me with a big leaf
and kissed me before I was falling asleep.
Yeah, never mind that.
Big sharp teeth,
which she used to rip up her prey?
We eat weeds.
Alright. Next, father.
- He was frightening, was he not?
- A bit, yes.
He acted strict, but he had a big heart.
All in all
my parents were not that bad
My parents were not that bad!
What is wrong?! I drew what you wanted!
Give it to me! I won!
Are you all right, young man?
Oh great. Did you come to laugh at me too?
Thanks for trying but
you simply don't know how to draw.
He does. Maybe it's time
to give the Artist his pencil back.
Never! I'm only a great wizard
because of the pencil!
- What about my parents? And me?
- Me! Me! Me!
I don't care about your parents,
your problems or you!
But you promised
Mom?
Mom?
I don't have the mouse! Just go away!
What are you Wait, it is not a toy!
Really does kind of smell like a mouse
No! No!
Oh no
You want me to be happy but
Hey!
All this? Everything?
You drew all this
Yes, I know.
Oh, I see
Someone else tells you what to do?
I know how you feel.
I'm being told what to do all the time
You're alright too.
You know what?
Why aren't we doing what we want?!
Entomology
After all these years,
you made me some tea.
It is the end of the world, professor!
I regret that I only made you tea
when everything is falling into darkness.
Nervekowsky
Even in the darkest darkness,
a star can shine!
I've observed the most distant stars
while the brightest of them
has been right here beside
Diplodocus! First, you disappear
without asking and then
- and then you reappear without asking!
- I'm sorry!
- And take the pencil without asking!
- I did something very stupid
- But I think I know how to fix it!
- Fix it?!
The world will fall apart,
because the Artist is here!
At the moment nobody
is creating our story!
That's why we should write
the next parts ourselves.
But how?!
We're nothing but drawn characters!
So what? We come from different stories
but thanks to my power to jump between
them, we were able to get together!
- And that wasn't planned by the Artist.
- Ok, wait
- And here's my plan!
- Wait! Where is Hocus Pocus?
He did what?!
Let me. First point:
we stop Hocus Pocus and take the pencil.
And return it to the rightful owner.
Second point:
Hocus Pocus has to transform the Artist.
He broke his wand,
but I fixed it with duct tape!
The last point: Thanks to my power
I'll jump with the Artist to his world
so that he can draw my parents there.
No! You can jump between
different stories drawn by the Artist,
but jumping into his world
is something completely different!
Don't you remember what happened
to Hocus Pocus' nose?
You don't belong in the Artist's world.
You won't survive there!
Yes, he's right. You're a part of a comic
book and you must stay in a comic book.
Yes, but How else
can we send the Artist away?
Hang on!
- Do you know this film?
- What's a film?
A film is Although I am a professor,
you still can learn something from me.
I've prepared a small presenta
tion.
"Le Voyage dans la Lune"
is an educational film
about traveling to the moon with a cannon.
Instead of going to the moon,
we'll fire the cannon into the sun.
The Artist will be seated in a bullet.
As you know, the pencil
can pierce a piece of paper
and overcome the barrier between worlds.
That is why we will use a pencil as
a projectile which will dig into the sun.
This way, the Artist will get out and
you will not have to risk your own life.
- Did you just make this?
- Bravo, professor! Bravo.
Help!
- This is Planet Fear
- Somebody help me!
- Come on! There's nothing to fear!
- Help!
Where did you learn to hop like that?
When I hopped to the newsagent
for the newspapers.
Somebody help me!
Help!
- Diplodocus! It is wonderful to see you!
- You said you don't care about me.
I smell hypocrisy.
You'd smell it too, if you had a nose.
I know, it was wrong
I apologize to all of you
for accidentally destroying the world.
Well, exactly! What's all that?!
I didn't do it! The cat drew it.
- That sweet cat?!
- Where is the pencil?
The cat must be playing with it.
Somewhere here.
Hey! Take me down!
Fine, you are right:
I'm a bad wizard, I've always been
Just please! Take me down! Come on!
We've got it!
Not sweet!
Please! Let me down! Come on!
Let me down! Please!
Not sweet!
Cute character. Chop-chop!
Whatever. Meow.
I will never make that mistake again.
If you wanna fix your mistake,
turn the Artist back into a human!
But I've already told you
I am a bad wizard!
This is not the time for examining your
conscience. Good or bad, transform him!
You don't understand,
I cannot change the spell.
I only know one spell:
turning stuff into a mouse.
And that's it
What?! You made me like this!
I thought that when I became
the new Artist, I wouldn't be alone
I would gain some respect
But I respect you. And like you.
Not your comics! Not sweet! Chop-chop!
Do something with your only spell!
Okay.
It's beautiful.
Why didn't you sing before?
I guess I didn't have
a good enough reason to do so.
Watch out!
Whatever. Meow.
Comics.
Where is Entomology?
What?
- No
- At least I didn't do that.
Meow!
Not so fast.
He's got the power of the Artist!
If I just jumped to the Artist's world
with him, will he be a mouse forever?
I do not know Nothing in his world
is the same as in our world.
- You'll disappear just like my nose!
- There's no other choice.
No!
- I can't jump outside!
- What?!
I can't overcome the barrier!
Erase them. Chop-chop!
Not sweet.
I am too young to become sweet
We must protect the Artist at all costs!
If the cat catches him, it is really over!
Only the pencil can
make a hole in a paper
It could tear the sun! I have an idea!
What is that?
We were planning to shoot
the Artist to the sun with this.
You are so cute
Oh, my sweet cutie pie
Chop-chop! Erase them.
Not sweet.
You can't cast a spell that far!
What are you doing?
The best trick of my life.
Hide! I'll distract him!
Hey! Catch me if you can!
I'm a big fat tasty mouse!
Come on! Face your equal!
No!
Fire
Bye-bye! Bon voyage!
Whatever.
What a strange dream
That's me?
Dip But how did you?
You made it! And look I'm human again!
Diplodocus You're disappearing!
Quickly, go back into the comic book!
It doesn't work in this world.
I guess it's not up to me whether
I am in your comic book or not.
It's been a great adventure.
- Yeah?
- Nine am. Time is up.
- Where's my sweet kitty?
- Nowhere. I don't want to do it anymore.
You are fired.
And I want you to know, that I've
never, ever, in my entire carrier
worked with anyone so incompetent
- What were you thinking?!
- Dad!
I found you.
Never left.
- It's so scary out there
- Mom!
- You seem taller, somehow?
- You remember anything at all?
- The fog?
- What?
I'd like to introduce you to my friends.
- I'll take you somewhere.
- All your friends are here.
Come closer.
I need to jump 15 meters further,
not to land on a roof again
I'm not going anywhere
You can conjure up
the most amazing things with grout!
He's helping me with a small project.
In case Diplodocus visits us again.
To avoid damage to our roof,
I decided to move our house by 15 meters!
Brilliant.
- What on earth is this colorful swamp?
- Look how clean this place is!
So good to see you, Diplodocus!
Son, where did you get
those funny, talking toys?!
Excuse my husband.
It's his first visit outside of the swamp.
This is my family.
And this is mine.
It is really nice to meet you!
We've heard so much about you.
Good day, good head!
Son I
You were right.
- Life doesn't need to be like our wall.
- "Grey and boring"?
Thank you for showing us
that the world can be such a
such a beautiful place.
Oh, yes
There you go!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I have a question.
- Yes?
Where did you get all of these ideas from?
Actually I've experienced it all,
as a mouse.
An enchanted mouse, inside my comic book.
And then I wrote down everything,
as well as I could.
Ok, let's get to it.
Very nice Delicious flavor.
Surprising textures
Even a bit sweet.
Goodbye.
Thus, I gave birth
to the mammals on our planet.
To be honest,
that's nothing to be proud of.
