The Steam Engines of Oz (2018) Movie Script
1
- [Woman] I have a feeling
we're not in Kansas anymore.
[engine rumbling]
- [Locasta] The land of Oz,
its capital - the Emerald City.
Forever long altered by
the rule of the Tin Man.
Imagination has brought
mankind through the Dark Ages
to its present state
of civilization.
But how could it have forgotten
something so invaluable?
[dramatic music]
[train whistling]
- Can you fix it?
- It's up there.
I can see the tension
in the joints.
Can you grab me my hex-tool?
- Huh.
Quite the weight.
- Great.
Now, toss it on up.
- [Guard] Are you sure
that's such a good idea?
- Come on.
Trust me.
- [Guard] Huh!
- Thank you!
Trade you!
- [Guard] Huh!
Huh!
- [Guard] Huh!
- Thank you.
[wheels whirring]
[horns blaring]
- [Guard] It's
beautiful, isn't it?
- [Victoria] All the parts
are working together.
- Emerald City can't do
without his Majesty Tin Man.
- What time is it?
- Right after six.
- The clocks never stop ticking.
I've got to run back home.
That's alright?
Right?
- Of course, Victoria.
You need a hand with that?
- No, I think I've got it!
Whoa!
- You shouldn't try
to carry so much.
- I know.
I know.
I'm just trying to be efficient.
- There's plenty of
efficiency to go around.
You want to carry
that much again,
we'll ask topside to
get a mule for you.
- For real?
- A mechanic mustn't
become a bother to topside.
You know all this.
- Right.
Keep it.
- Thank you!
- You spoil us, Victoria.
- Never.
You have an important
job here keeping us safe.
I'm just thanking you.
I'm back!
- Ah!
Thank goodness.
I'm starving!
- When I was brought here
you were skin and bones.
What happened, Phadrig?
- Victoria keeps bringing
that heavenly bread
from the ovens.
Who am I to argue?
- You're welcome, Mister Digg.
With this your mustache
will reach all new heights.
- It's perfect.
If the other munchkins
could see me now.
- [Man on Intercom]
Honored guests,
please return to your
accommodations and rest well
under the good care of
his Majesty, Tin Man.
- My girl, maybe tomorrow you
can let us all out of here.
- And put our
guards out of work?
We all have our places in the
great engines, Mister Digg.
- Oh.
I suppose so.
- Huh.
[monkey chattering]
Hello.
Who are we here?
- Ooo, oo, oo!
- You want that banana?
Take it.
You want it, right?
Hey!
What are you doing?
Let go!
Whoa!
[dramatic music]
- I am Locasta, the
Witch of the North.
You maintain the underground
steam engines of Emerald City.
Would you consider
yourself a good worker?
- I am a good worker.
Keeping the water running,
the steam flowing,
the clocks ticking.
- As you say, the
gears never stop.
Running day and night, through
the years, ever moving.
The Emerald City never
does stop expanding
and it will eventually
overtake us all.
- What do mean?
His Majesty Tin Man grows
the city to care for us,
not to overtake us.
- Victoria, what is
the price we might pay
for this rapid progress?
Your work is coming to an end.
- What are you going to do?
- I fear this overwhelming
progress is dangerous.
My magic cannot sway the Tin
Man or his mechanized city.
But you, a cog in his machine,
you may be able to turn
the Tin Man from his path
before it's too late.
The lions and Munchkins are
furious with the devastation
this rapid progress has
brought to their homes.
The elements of war are forming.
- Have you spoke
with his Majesty?
Surely he would--
- I've tried.
You cannot remain hidden
underground any longer.
- But this is my place.
It's where I belong.
- Listen to me, Victoria.
Find the heart to face
Tin Man or else the people
you work so hard for, the people
you care for, will perish.
- Hey!
Wait!
Ah!
- [Locosta] You cannot remain
hidden underground any longer.
What is the price we might
pay for this rapid progress?
What is the price we might
pay for this rapid progress?
You may be able to turn
the Tin Man from his path.
The elements of war are forming.
Find the heart to face Tin
Man before it's too late.
[alarm buzzing]
- Whoa!
[Phadrig snoring]
Mr Digg.
Psst, Mr Digg.
- [Phadrig] Victoria?
- [Victoria] Do you
still want to leave?
- Leave?
Am I dreaming?
No, no, no, no.
This is real!
Why such a sudden
change of heart?
- Last night, I was visited
by the Witch of the North.
She told me, oh, so
many of things and--
- Oh, you must be
dreaming, my girl.
- I'm serious.
She said the Emerald
City could fall into war!
- Heh, heh, heh.
If that's true then
we'll finally be free
from these dungeons!
- But then everything
will fall out of place.
It'll be chaos!
- There was order before
his Majesty Tinkle Bucket
and Emerald City will
return to order after him.
- Tin Man has improved Oz.
Worked hard to care for us.
- For us?
You don't know the first thing
about us, Oz, or anything!
You've never even
been up topside.
Oh, Victoria.
- We're going topside.
I need to see it for myself.
The Munchkins, lions, all of Oz.
- We really should not
bother those lions.
Besides them and the
Munchkins live far
outside the Emerald City walls.
- I can't stay here, Phadrig.
Not when there could be
problems only I can fix.
- If you're going to
meet the Munchkins,
I'll be your escort as an
official member of the guild!
- Now, why would
the Witch decide
to call upon you specifically?
- If the Witch believes
Victoria to hold
some sway over the
Tin Man, she must.
- Let's go.
Her flying monkeys
could still be around.
- The monkeys were here?
- Nevermind that.
I'm surprised the guards
haven't barked at us
for disturbing their naps.
- Just get to it already!
- Now hurry.
While the guards
are still asleep.
- [Gromit] They're unconscious.
I can't see them falling
asleep that way naturally.
- I didn't hurt them.
Gave them loaves
of bread at that.
- Never you mind, my girl.
Can you get us out?
- These pipes bring
water to homes
all over the Emerald City.
They'll take us to topside.
- Well, we all sure
could use a bath.
- Can one of you boost me?
- Are you sure
that's such a good--
- Come on.
Trust me.
- You're taller.
- [Phadrig] Right, okay.
One.
Two.
Three!
Heh.
Quite the weight.
- Phadrig.
[dramatic music]
- I know a place
where we'll be safe.
Let's go quietly.
- Oh!
Hey, aren't you?
Halt, in the name of
his Majesty Tin Man!
- Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
I
can't
keep.
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Stop!
In the name of
the Tin Man, stop!
[monkey chattering]
[dramatic music]
- Follow it!
Don't let them escape.
- [Phadrig] They're gone?
- [Gromit] It sounds like it.
- Is that you, isn't it?
Phadrig?
- In the flesh.
What's left of it.
- Where've you been?
There were so many rumors.
So much gossip.
- Some of it was true,
I'm sure, Candice.
I dared to speak up and received
first class accommodations
in the dungeons.
What of Alondra?
- It's been decades, Phadrig.
Your wife died ages ago.
When you left, well,
she was never the same.
- And what of my boys?
- [Candice] Last I
heard, they were off
on some grand adventure
to find their father.
A good 16 years ago.
- Candice, we need your
help escaping Emerald City.
- I can't help yae.
Tin Man's got eyes everywhere.
- May we use your wagon
just once again, Candice?
- Didn't yae learn anythin'?
Bein' a revolutionary
just gets yae locked up!
Even your brother Oz has
gone and left Emerald City!
- Oz is your brother?
You never mentioned this.
- Yes, yes, yes, I know.
Oz, the Great and Powerful.
Oz, the former Ruler
of Emerald City.
Et cetera, et cetera et cetera.
The younger brother's
curse, I'm afraid.
To always be lost in your
older brother's shadow.
- Wow.
The Wizard would know why the
lions and munchkins are upset.
Where could we find him?
- Oh, that's easy.
Find the munchkins
an' yae'll find Oz.
- And where are the munchkins?
- No one knows.
- Huh?
- Oh, I'm playin'
with yae, girlie.
They're in the
forest to the east.
Hidden.
Hidin'.
Waitin'.
- What is Oscar doing
with the munchkins?
- Think he realized t'wasn't
safe 'ere and 'e was right!
- Can you help us
to the Munchkins?
- Well, I can get yae
all past the gates
but the fringe of the
forest is as far I go.
- Can't spend a
day in the country
without Tin Man
pulling your leash.
- Thank you, Candice.
- Oh, don't thank me yet.
Yae're in for it.
[tiger roaring]
[suspenseful music]
- Hold.
Where are you bound for?
- Well, gotta pick up
some supplies outta
the city, don't I?
Got some crates,
an' plenty 'o space
to bring back goods, yeah?
[tiger growling]
- Oh!
- Hmm.
- Anything to declare?
- Ehm.
[tiger growling]
[suspenseful music]
- [Guard] Carry on.
[engine rumbling]
[dramatic music]
- Oi, wassat!
I've done nothin' wrong.
Get that beast outta my wagon!
Huh!
Hey, help me get this
beast under control!
- Pull!
What's wrong with the thing?
Go on!
Next time clean
your scraps better!
[engine rumbling]
- All clear.
Yae alright?
- Gromit's a bit unglued.
- I didn't think
about warning yae
about the kalidahs, friend.
They're obsessed with munchkins.
Gobble 'em down, they do.
- Kalidahs?
When did they get kalidahs?
[gentle music]
- [Phadrig] This is progress?
- Look up ahead!
The forest!
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] The leaves.
- [Victoria] These are trees?
[dramatic music]
- [Gromit] He's withered
up the land, let it age
to keep Emerald City running.
[soft music]
- [Phadrig] We thank you
for the help, Candice.
Who's to say what
would have happened
if you hadn't pulled
us off the streets.
- My guess, a round trip to
an all too familiar cell.
[laughing]
- What're ol' friends for, aye?
- Farewell!
- [Gromit] Now, let's
go find the munchkins.
Victoria?
- [Phadrig] Victoria?
- Your Majesty!
- [Tin Man] Speak.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
Prisoners have escaped
from the dungeons.
- [Tin Man] No one in our
dungeons is a prisoner.
Everyone is an
honored guest below.
- Of course, Your Majesty.
I mean to say that
our honored guests
have pre-maturely ended
their stays in the dungeons.
- [Tin Man] Who?
- Phadrig Digg, Gromit
the munchkin technician
and a girl mechanic from
beneath, Victoria Wright.
- When?
- Two hours ago, Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Highly probable
our guests have left
the safety of the city walls.
- But, Your Majesty, the
gates are under heavy guard.
No one has---
- [Tin Man] Silence,
Sir Blackburn.
- [Sir Blackburn]
Yes, Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Find these
guests and return them
to their homes for their safety.
- Of course, Your Majesty.
- I suspect they
traveled eastward.
Bring with you help.
We must ensure no one is
neglected from our care.
- [Sir Blackburn] As you wish.
[gentle music]
- [Lucilia] What's this?
- [Otho] A human?
- [Lucilia] Does this girl
know she is in our forest?
- [Otho] Must not.
- [Lucilia] What's it wearing?
- [Otho] Not fur.
- [Lucilia] Smells ripe.
- [Otho] Smells like meat.
- [Lucilia] Smells good to me.
[animal roaring]
[dramatic music]
- [Victoria] Aahh!
- Victoria!
- [Victoria] The Cowardly Lion?
- Don't inflate his ego.
That's Magnus.
The Cowardly Lion is his father.
- No more talking.
[dramatic music]
[roars]
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[fist thwacking]
- Girl will be good
meal for pride.
- Why share with pride?
Pride did not catch girl.
I did.
- We hunt for the pack, Lucilia.
- We can bring
scraps back to pride.
Hunters get the best meat.
- Lucilia!
Meat is for the pack!
[growls]
Yield.
- No, Magnus, you yield.
- You're lucky, Lucilia.
If you were not my mate, I
would not tolerate your lip.
- But my lip is
why you chose me.
- So I did.
[rumbling]
Otho, carry girl to the pack.
Lucilia.
We go and meet the machines.
- But Magnus, I..
[growls]
Magnus needs me by his side,
not carry meat.
- There she is!
- Uh, hullo.
- Keep walking.
Or the pride will
eat well tonight.
- See here, Mister, ah, Lion.
- Otho!
Remember it.
- Quite right.
Well, then, see here Mister
Otho, you have our friend there
and we must insist you
give her back to us.
- Insist?
Little men, you do not
insist anything of a lion.
- Little?
Who are you calling
little, lion?
- All you Munchkins are alike.
You'll never reach the
height of us lions,
descendants of the Cowardly
Lion, he who has no fear.
[rumbling]
- Well, then why are
you letting the machines
just mow down the forest?
- I did not run from the fight!
But we must eat.
- I see.
Your pride fights
the Emerald City, eh?
She is chosen by the
Witch of the North
to defeat the Tin Man.
- Girl was taken so easily.
How is one so small
to defeat Tin Man?
- With help.
- We need to find the
Munchkins here in the forest.
- Munchkins in the forest
smell like girl does.
Grime and smoke.
- You know of them?
- Know of them?
The Munchkins live in the
forest because we allow them to.
- Could you take us to them?
- No, I must take girl to pride.
- We can make it
worth your while.
- What does man have that
I want besides to eat him?
- Well, how about we
take the girl to the pack
and you point us in the
direction of the Munchkins?
- But girl is important.
- Not so important.
We need to find the Munchkins.
Then you can go join the
fight against the machines.
- [Otho] Girl brought to pride.
Little men to Munchkins.
- Exactly.
- Hmpf.
Deal.
Walk that way.
You'll find pride.
Walk further, find Munchkins.
- Oh, he fell for that?
- Oh, it's just a
matter of determining
what he wanted more,
food or a fight.
- Can I stop playing
dead now, Mr Digg?
- Of course.
Ha, ha!
Now, let's hightail it
before the furry fellow
comes back now.
- Mr Digg, he pointed
this way didn't he?
- No, no, no,
lions and Munchkins
would never live close together.
Quite the opposite.
- The exact opposite.
Now, let's go find my people.
- Maybe that lion wasn't lying.
- Uproarious.
Gromit, don't you have any idea
where the Munchkins might be?
- Do you smell smoke?
- Unfortunately.
- Not me!
Come on.
Huh!
[dramatic music]
- Who would build
something so barbaric?
- [Gromit] We would!
Look!
[dramatic music]
It's been years since
I've seen real homes.
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] They're so small.
- [Gromit] I know.
- And cramped.
- I know.
- And ours.
Now, give me one reason why
we shouldn't put a few holes
in you and then knock
you into that ditch.
Please don't have a good reason.
- Wait, I'm a Munchkin too.
You can't--
- Oh, listen to the
little guy, Heflin.
- What manner of Munchkins
are you to disregard customs,
to insult, threaten--
- Definitely one of us.
- Enough!
I asked you a question
and I'm getting
really impatient
for an answer here.
- We're looking for Oz.
- You looked around, girl?
We're in Oz.
Smell that fresh air?
Oz air.
The trees?
Oz trees.
- No, no, no, not
the land of Oz.
The Wizard, Oscar Digg.
My brother.
- He has a brother?
- Yes he does.
[Munchkins whispering]
- You a traitor?
- Only to the Tin Man.
- Okay, anyone who
betrays the Tin Man
must be a friend of
the Munchkins, right?
- Right.
- Exactly.
Come, come, before the
sun sets on us now.
You don't want to see what
comes out in the dark.
- Wait, what are you...
[Munchkins laughing]
- [Gromit] How far?
- Oh, you'll know.
Huh, chow down!
[Gromit belching]
How is it there in Emerald City?
- It's great.
Everyone is taken care of.
Everyday the city progresses.
- Taken care of.
Huh, that's a way to put it.
- Then why don't the Munchkins
come join Emerald City?
- The Emerald City's
got nothing for us.
- But you could do so much
more with Tin Man's help.
- No help of Tinkle Bucket
ever amount to anything
but broken buttons and bearings.
We're better off without any
Witch, Wizard, or Winkie king.
- Where is my brother,
the great Wizard?
Hasn't gone and
disappeared, right?
Ha, ha.
- I'm sorry but I don't know
nor have any business knowing.
- Sure you should know.
Lend an ear to one another.
If you met Tin Man, Emerald
City would truly become
a home for all.
I'm for certain.
- Tin Bucket hung up his
ear away with his heart.
No one is listening!
- Argh!
- Vic!
Victoria!
- I'm going to help them.
I'm going to help them see
that we can all be a part
of Emerald City.
- What's this help
you're thinking of?
- I'm going to his
Majesty Tin Man.
- That's mad!
- Maybe the Munchkins
don't understand
his Majesty's words, but I do.
He'll understand us too and
he knows that the Munchkins
are needed in Emerald City.
- Just go, walk in.
And talk?
[growling]
- Any sign of them?
- [Victoria] Sir Blackburn!
- Seize them!
- Please!
This could be the difference
between us and war!
- War?
Stand down.
- Sir Blackburn.
Why won't his Majesty Tin
Man accept the Munchkins
into the Emerald City?
- His Majesty has
long determined
that the Munchkins
belong outside the walls.
Just as you belong inside them.
Come home, Miss Victoria Wright.
- His Majesty Tin Man
is much more forgiving
than the Munchkins.
- If he could speak with them.
- They do not change, holding
onto their outdated beliefs
in magic.
They do not share our
Emerald City values.
They do not have a place
in Tin Man's final vision.
- No place for magic?
Have you taken a look around?
You're in the land of Oz!
- We have no use for magic.
Soon Tin Man will
progress the Emerald City
across of all Oz.
Our technological advances
have bettered countless lives.
- I'll return, if I
can speak with Tin Man.
- Of course.
- I said I will return.
Not them!
- Whether they will
be as cooperative
cannot be ascertained.
- Well, then I'm not going!
- The munchkins have
indoctrinated you
with their silly beliefs.
We will not allow
the selfishness
of the few to
inhibit our progress.
[electronic zapping]
- Victoria!
[dramatic music]
[Victoria crying]
[growls]
- Shoot them!
[electronic zapping]
- Ahh!
[dramatic music]
- Are you the
leader of this pack?
- I am.
- To attack one of your own.
You are not fit to be a general.
- To think the wild woods
have actually made you soft.
[growls]
- [Oscar] Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro, I need you to
contact the Witch of the North!
I need her right away.
[gentle music]
- What is it?
- [Oscar] Was it you that
reached out to Victoria?
- Yes.
That was me.
- [Oscar] Are you sure
now is the right time?
- I'm sure.
How much time do
you think we have?
She is much bigger than
the last time you saw her.
- [Oscar] Still,
she is far too young
with so much more to learn.
Only the Scarecrow will know
how to handle the Tin Man.
- I've trusted many
wise men over time
and that has brought us here.
Even after all this time,
you still keep searching?
- He must be in Emerald City.
He must.
- Neither of us can
enter the city safely.
- [Oscar] With your
flying monkeys I could--
- We've been through this.
- [Oscar] It will be
different this time!
- Because of Victoria.
Someone after our time.
The one we have
been waiting for.
Phadrig is still with her.
And I sense Victoria
has already learnt much
about this world, out beyond
the small walls of her dungeon.
- [Oscar] Does she
know of Scarecrow?
- [Locasta] If
Phadrig has told her.
- [Oscar] I must be going.
Farewell.
- Farewell, Wizard of Oz.
[somber music]
- Well, hear, the
noise has stopped.
[somber music]
[man yelling]
- Help, help!
Help!
Help!
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] I have you!
Oscar, is that you?
- Phadrig.
You've lose weight!
- You've lost your hair!
- Phadrig!
- Oscar!
[men laughing]
- Oz?
The great Wizard?
We need your help.
Tin Man's soldiers.
Blackburn.
[Victoria crying]
- What's he doing here?
- Relax, brother.
Please.
Let us talk inside.
- Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Speak.
- Sir Blackburn sends
me, Your Majesty.
We have a problem in the east.
The lions, they're attacking.
- The cats have turned feral.
Tell Sir Blackburn I will
be joining him on the field.
Ready my allies.
It is time.
- [Heflin] By
Cheeriobed's beard!
What's going on?
- Hello, hairball.
- How are you Puffball?
- Please excuse our intrusion.
We have come to discuss
our dire situation.
- Yes.
Tin Man cannot be
tolerated any longer.
We lions have long known
that Tin Man's heart
did not extend far, but
to see him toss aside
one of his own, it reeks.
- Tin Man must be dealt
with, but mindless fighting
will only lead to
losses on both sides.
- We've tried reasoning.
The girl's tried reasoning.
It's no use.
- Tin Man believes the
more Emerald City grows,
the more he controls, the more
people, the more resources,
the closer he'll get
to saving his wife
and ensuring nothing like
it happens ever again.
- His wife?
- He had a wife?
- That metal man?
- He was not always made of tin.
You see, before the Tin
Man, there was merely a man.
Well, actually a Munchkin,
named Nick Chopper the woodsman.
He fell in love with a servant
of the Wicked Witch of the East,
a Munchkin girl Nimee Amee.
The Wicked Witch was none too
pleased at Nick's advances.
She bewitched his
axe and the next day
the enchanted axe
cut off Nick's leg.
Driven, Nick continued.
But so did the curse.
With every hack, he lost a limb.
With every slash, he
lost a piece of himself.
The enchanted axe's final
blow was to the only area
not replaced by tin.
His own heart.
The tinsmith then replaced
every part of Nick
until only the Tin Man remained.
But there was no heart and
a marriage without heart
is one without love
and doomed to fail.
Years passed and he was
alone, but he did not care.
The strong and heartless
machine just kept chopping.
The emptiness in his chest
and a sudden storm
froze him in time.
Until a young girl
found his can of oil
and rescued him from
his rusted tin prison.
Together, they went
on great adventures,
and, in time, he even
received a new heart.
After the death of the
witch, he was even asked
to run a kingdom for a time.
The Winkie Kingdom enjoyed a
time of peace under his reign.
But the more he spent
bettering the Winkie's lives,
the more he thought
of his other life
when he was a Munchkin.
And when he was in love.
When he could no longer
live with the unknown,
he left, determined
to discover her fate.
Near the southern
border he found Nimee
living out her final days.
The enchantment placed
on the land by Lurline,
Queen of the Fairies,
prevented Ozians from aging,
but it was fading.
Under the newfound
pain of heartbreak,
the Tin Man swore
he would save Nimee
at any cost.
He turned to magic, but the
good witches were unable
to reverse time's
effect on Nimee.
He turned his sights
to the Emerald City.
The Emerald City welcomed the
heroic Tin Man with open arms.
He began to build the
steam engines of Oz
to save his true love.
His work became his obsession.
The Tin Man blindly
followed his heart
and, with the industrial
growth of the Emerald City,
everything changed.
As did he.
He blamed the Munchkins
for taking Nimee
away from the magic.
He blamed the magic
for failing Nimee.
And, eventually, he
blamed his own heart
so he hung it up forever.
- But Tin Man wanted a
world without suffering.
- And he sacrificed
his heart to do so.
Soon he will do away with
magic and anyone in his way.
- We need to take
back Emerald City now
before all the magic in Oz
is completely destroyed.
- This is mad!
Tin Man has not sat
idle on his throne.
- We know the results of
a head on confrontation.
Imprisoned in Emerald
City is the Scarecrow.
But once freed, I believe he
can get through to the Tin Man.
- Scarecrow has
failed us already.
He lost his head and
cost us the city.
- It will be
different this time.
- It will be different!
We can fix this by ourselves.
We can do this
without Scarecrow.
Without feeling afraid.
Without waiting any longer.
We can progress on our own.
- Then let us progress
to the battlefield.
- The lions will
be the vanguard.
We'll create a diversion to
lure him away from the walls.
- Take the north and south
sides of the forest edge.
When Tin Man splits his forces,
the Munchkins will
come in the air,
cutting straight
through their lines.
- Tin Man should be
commanding from the back.
- Obviously.
Too cowardly to fight
and too foolish to hide.
- There should be seven
brigades in total.
Corner each one off.
Not even you can take
them all at once.
- A Munchkin
looking over a lion?
Ha, ha.
- Once we break their
line go right for Tin Man.
We'll cover you.
- Don't get left behind.
- Let's go Munchspendables!
- [Victoria] I'm
right behind you.
- Victoria.
Listen.
- No.
I thought Tin Man would listen,
but I just got Gromit hurt,
and put you in danger.
No one else is
going to get hurt.
- Are you hearing yourself?
Oh blast!
[birds chirping]
- [Heflin] Come on!
We don't know how
much time we have.
- Wait the...
Heflin!
- No!
That isn't funny!
- Maybe to you!
Ha, ha!
Come on Munchkins.
[engine roaring]
Time for war!
[dramatic music]
[roars]
[dramatic music]
- Attention!
Form ranks!
March left!
[dramatic music]
[swords buzzing]
[growling]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
- Huh?
- Erm.
- Huh?
- Huh.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
Ahh!
- Ah!
- Ahh!
- Oh!
- Wait!
Come back here!
- [Guard] Oh!
- Ahh!
Ah!
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Ho!
- [Guard] Ow!
- [Guard] Uhh!
[dramatic music]
- That there is an
electrolaser rifle.
Crank and aim.
Tilt it little
above your target.
The electricity will arc down.
- Better get a good handle.
Or should I go put on
some rubber gloves?
Ha, ha, ha!
You'll be fine.
If anything Noomi's
got you covered.
Let's go Munchspendables!
All aircraft report.
We're heading in!
Let's see what you got!
[dramatic music]
Circle them in.
Blast'em right out!
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- [Tin Man] Signal stage two.
- Ahhh!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
- Magnus!
Look!
[dramatic music]
[engine roaring]
[dramatic music]
- Kemp, move it!
- [Victoria] Wait one.
[dramatic music]
- Below you.
Victoria!
[explosion booming]
- Attention!
Forward, march!
[growls]
- Ah!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Wait, come on.
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
[electronic zapping]
Uh!
Ahh!
[electronic zapping]
- Oh!
- Ruh!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
Guards, tend to the others.
I will take care of
little Maggie here.
What ails you so?
What brings you to
threaten our prosperity?
- What twisted
prosperity demands
that your dispose of
even one of your own?
Hmm.
[dramatic music]
Uh!
[dramatic music]
[rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[Magnus gasping]
[footsteps pounding]
[dramatic music]
Ahh!
[dramatic music]
[steam hissing]
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- Said I'd be looking over ya!
[electronic zapping]
- Ho!
- Uh!
- Why fight any further?
- For our hope!
[electronic zapping]
- [Magnus] Rar!
For the faith placed in us!
- [Both] For the people we love!
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
- So proud to stand as
leaders yet you tremble.
Afraid when you fail your
people that you will have
to face the fact
you failed yourself.
So you fight.
So you can hold onto your image.
So you can hide from the
fact that you are no leader.
[dramatic music]
[explosion booming]
I will rid Oz of magic, of you,
of anything that
threatens its beauty.
Not for my people, not
for me, but for love.
[somber music]
[mystical music]
- Quite a mess we have here.
- What else could I have done?
[gentle music]
- We've come to help.
[upbeat music]
- We'll keep the Tin Man's army
distracted, but make haste!
- Thank you!
Thank you!
- [Locasta] Take what you have
learned, find the Scarecrow
and bring an end to this war.
[dramatic music]
[rain pattering]
- The Scarecrow is kept in a
secret chamber somewhere here.
- How can you be so sure?
- He did rule the
Emerald City before.
Remember?
- [Gromit] Hmm.
- Hmm.
- Oh, well.
- [Victoria] Hmm.
- [Gromit] Hmm.
- Watcha' looking at?
The key lies together with love.
Why's that written there?
- Hmm.
That's a new addition.
[walls creaking]
[fire roaring]
- It's the Great
Steam Engines of Oz.
Scarecrow must be in there.
- I'm afraid you're
probably right.
- We can't go in there.
It's blistering!
- What else are
we suppose to do?
No time for back up.
- Well, 18 years in a dungeon
didn't prepare me to face this.
- Mr Digg, we can do this.
Everyone is trusting in us.
Together we can
brave through this.
Where's all that spirit you have
when I bring you your bread?
- Nothing can stop progress.
Can it?
[fire roaring]
[coughs]
- Heh, heh.
Phew!
Phew!
[rocks thudding]
- Ah, ah!
We're almost there.
I can feel it thinning out.
[dramatic music]
[coughs]
- [Victoria] Phadrig!
- [Oscar] Phadrig?
Phadrig!
Brother!
Are you alright?
- I can handle myself this time.
- [Gromit] What
is this trickery?
- It was bait.
Oh, elaborate bait!
Oh no!
- No, Tin Man wouldn't
go back on his word.
- What word?
- The key lies
together with love.
Tin Man has hurt many people,
but he's never betrayed
them in his heart.
- We have to go back.
We can't stay here.
- Relax!
Catch your breath first.
- Oh Alondra.
Why didn't you care for Alondra?
For my sons?
- [Gromit] None of
that was Oscar's fault.
- It's hard to lose
people, isn't it Mr Digg.
I'm starting to understand.
It started out with just
you and me in the dungeons.
But then Gromit joined us.
We found your brother.
And now all the people
of Oz are with us.
Together we can do this.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
Huh.
- He was one of
Tin Man's advisors.
To think that he would...
- I'm so sorry,
Scarecrow, we never knew.
- We have to get him out.
- The key's over there.
To the right.
Don't really have the
fingers to point it out.
- You're alive?
- [Scarecrow] My body
is over there as well.
- The key lies
together with love.
- Oh!
Ha!
Heh, heh, ha!
Hm.
Hmm.
Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho.
Can't give someone brains, but
you sure can give them legs.
- So how are we going
to stop Tin Man?
- You've already learnt how.
- [Victoria] What?
Umm.
[gentle music]
- Hmm, well, back we go I guess.
- The engine pressure
valve is to your left.
- Thank you.
- How can a scarecrow
live without his head?
- Quite boringly.
The matter of my head loss
is a short, but simple story,
which started after the
rebellion in the Emerald City
40 years, seven months,
and five days ago.
- [Tin Man] They rebelled.
Everything I've done
for Emerald City.
For all of Oz.
And they question me.
- [Scarecrow] Is this the
vision you had for Oz?
For Nimmie?
Is this what you would like
her to see when she wakes?
The Emerald City torn by hate?
I have guided you, supported
you, all in the hopes
of keeping you from
forgetting your heart.
- [Tin Man] What has
my heart brought me?
The anger and spite of
idiot tra-la-la Munchkins
who took my love.
I will not tolerate
them or their magic
in my Emerald City again.
- [Scarecrow] And what of me?
Will you listen to reason?
- [Tin Man] I am
finished listening
to your so-called advice.
- [Scarecrow] You
know what he did next.
[dramatic music]
- You?
Back again?
- I'm not here to fight.
- Indeed.
Your fight has already ended.
Huh!
Hah!
Scarecrow?
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Sharp as ever I see!
- The lions.
Didn't they?
- There is much to tell.
[dramatic music]
- [Tin Man] What is
the meaning of this?
- Well, Victoria?
- You should.
- Go up!
Go now.
- My name is Victoria Wright.
- I know who you are.
- Of course you do!
- Scarecrow, why have you come?
- To end it.
This war was to
right our wrongs.
I can't believe how wrong I was.
- It is required.
To purge for the people,
to preserve our prosperity.
- Prosperity?
Today Oz lost.
- Oz needs order.
Each step I have taken has
improved the Emerald City,
soon all of Oz.
This is just another step.
You know it to be true.
- I did walk alongside
Emerald City.
I thought of it as myself.
I also wanted its success.
But you can't only
accept the success.
You're responsible for the
failures of Emerald City.
I'm also responsible
for a lot of hurt.
And we're also responsible
for making it right.
- Why hold onto the failures?
- Ignoring them only
makes things worse.
For you, our friends.
the ones we love.
- Nimmie?
- I learnt a heart is not
judged by how much you love,
but by how much you
are loved by others.
[gentle music]
The lions.
The Munchkins.
All of Oz.
We mustn't run.
We must stand strong together.
Not attempting to be flawless,
impervious to failure,
but together be able
to mend our mistakes.
With love and the imperfections
that comes with it,
we must progress.
[soft music]
- It's over.
The war is over!
It's over!
The war is over!
[dramatic music]
[fireworks exploding]
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music]
- Duh, that radio.
That radio.
That radio.
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music]
- She's all ready to go!
- We have lift off!
[dramatic music]
- Shouldn't you be down there?
- I could ask you
the same thing.
- [Phadrig] Well, there's
still a lot of work to do.
With Tin Man stepping down,
Emerald City will
need a new leader.
- We'll find your sons.
We'll help each other heal
and make Emerald City
truly the heart of Oz.
[upbeat music]
[guitar music]
Oh there was never time enough
Though we spent years on end
In love
In sheltered
moments that we shared
In the home that we made
- I'm here for you, Nimmie.
Our lives are strained
There was one thing
- I will always be here for you
And even when I am
far across borders
- [Oscar] A heart is not
judged by how much you love,
but by how much you
are loved by others.
I'll be floating
Like wind on the ocean
I hear the echoes
of your voice
And all the world
is spinning fast
And our bricks and
mortar never last
And with every half
life that we pass
We are further away
But even when our
lives are strained
There will be one
thing that remains
And even when I am
far across borders
You will always be my home
I'll be floating
Like wind on the ocean
I hear the echoes
of your voice
Though I may travel far
I will never be gone
You will always be my home
And you will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
- [Woman] I have a feeling
we're not in Kansas anymore.
[engine rumbling]
- [Locasta] The land of Oz,
its capital - the Emerald City.
Forever long altered by
the rule of the Tin Man.
Imagination has brought
mankind through the Dark Ages
to its present state
of civilization.
But how could it have forgotten
something so invaluable?
[dramatic music]
[train whistling]
- Can you fix it?
- It's up there.
I can see the tension
in the joints.
Can you grab me my hex-tool?
- Huh.
Quite the weight.
- Great.
Now, toss it on up.
- [Guard] Are you sure
that's such a good idea?
- Come on.
Trust me.
- [Guard] Huh!
- Thank you!
Trade you!
- [Guard] Huh!
Huh!
- [Guard] Huh!
- Thank you.
[wheels whirring]
[horns blaring]
- [Guard] It's
beautiful, isn't it?
- [Victoria] All the parts
are working together.
- Emerald City can't do
without his Majesty Tin Man.
- What time is it?
- Right after six.
- The clocks never stop ticking.
I've got to run back home.
That's alright?
Right?
- Of course, Victoria.
You need a hand with that?
- No, I think I've got it!
Whoa!
- You shouldn't try
to carry so much.
- I know.
I know.
I'm just trying to be efficient.
- There's plenty of
efficiency to go around.
You want to carry
that much again,
we'll ask topside to
get a mule for you.
- For real?
- A mechanic mustn't
become a bother to topside.
You know all this.
- Right.
Keep it.
- Thank you!
- You spoil us, Victoria.
- Never.
You have an important
job here keeping us safe.
I'm just thanking you.
I'm back!
- Ah!
Thank goodness.
I'm starving!
- When I was brought here
you were skin and bones.
What happened, Phadrig?
- Victoria keeps bringing
that heavenly bread
from the ovens.
Who am I to argue?
- You're welcome, Mister Digg.
With this your mustache
will reach all new heights.
- It's perfect.
If the other munchkins
could see me now.
- [Man on Intercom]
Honored guests,
please return to your
accommodations and rest well
under the good care of
his Majesty, Tin Man.
- My girl, maybe tomorrow you
can let us all out of here.
- And put our
guards out of work?
We all have our places in the
great engines, Mister Digg.
- Oh.
I suppose so.
- Huh.
[monkey chattering]
Hello.
Who are we here?
- Ooo, oo, oo!
- You want that banana?
Take it.
You want it, right?
Hey!
What are you doing?
Let go!
Whoa!
[dramatic music]
- I am Locasta, the
Witch of the North.
You maintain the underground
steam engines of Emerald City.
Would you consider
yourself a good worker?
- I am a good worker.
Keeping the water running,
the steam flowing,
the clocks ticking.
- As you say, the
gears never stop.
Running day and night, through
the years, ever moving.
The Emerald City never
does stop expanding
and it will eventually
overtake us all.
- What do mean?
His Majesty Tin Man grows
the city to care for us,
not to overtake us.
- Victoria, what is
the price we might pay
for this rapid progress?
Your work is coming to an end.
- What are you going to do?
- I fear this overwhelming
progress is dangerous.
My magic cannot sway the Tin
Man or his mechanized city.
But you, a cog in his machine,
you may be able to turn
the Tin Man from his path
before it's too late.
The lions and Munchkins are
furious with the devastation
this rapid progress has
brought to their homes.
The elements of war are forming.
- Have you spoke
with his Majesty?
Surely he would--
- I've tried.
You cannot remain hidden
underground any longer.
- But this is my place.
It's where I belong.
- Listen to me, Victoria.
Find the heart to face
Tin Man or else the people
you work so hard for, the people
you care for, will perish.
- Hey!
Wait!
Ah!
- [Locosta] You cannot remain
hidden underground any longer.
What is the price we might
pay for this rapid progress?
What is the price we might
pay for this rapid progress?
You may be able to turn
the Tin Man from his path.
The elements of war are forming.
Find the heart to face Tin
Man before it's too late.
[alarm buzzing]
- Whoa!
[Phadrig snoring]
Mr Digg.
Psst, Mr Digg.
- [Phadrig] Victoria?
- [Victoria] Do you
still want to leave?
- Leave?
Am I dreaming?
No, no, no, no.
This is real!
Why such a sudden
change of heart?
- Last night, I was visited
by the Witch of the North.
She told me, oh, so
many of things and--
- Oh, you must be
dreaming, my girl.
- I'm serious.
She said the Emerald
City could fall into war!
- Heh, heh, heh.
If that's true then
we'll finally be free
from these dungeons!
- But then everything
will fall out of place.
It'll be chaos!
- There was order before
his Majesty Tinkle Bucket
and Emerald City will
return to order after him.
- Tin Man has improved Oz.
Worked hard to care for us.
- For us?
You don't know the first thing
about us, Oz, or anything!
You've never even
been up topside.
Oh, Victoria.
- We're going topside.
I need to see it for myself.
The Munchkins, lions, all of Oz.
- We really should not
bother those lions.
Besides them and the
Munchkins live far
outside the Emerald City walls.
- I can't stay here, Phadrig.
Not when there could be
problems only I can fix.
- If you're going to
meet the Munchkins,
I'll be your escort as an
official member of the guild!
- Now, why would
the Witch decide
to call upon you specifically?
- If the Witch believes
Victoria to hold
some sway over the
Tin Man, she must.
- Let's go.
Her flying monkeys
could still be around.
- The monkeys were here?
- Nevermind that.
I'm surprised the guards
haven't barked at us
for disturbing their naps.
- Just get to it already!
- Now hurry.
While the guards
are still asleep.
- [Gromit] They're unconscious.
I can't see them falling
asleep that way naturally.
- I didn't hurt them.
Gave them loaves
of bread at that.
- Never you mind, my girl.
Can you get us out?
- These pipes bring
water to homes
all over the Emerald City.
They'll take us to topside.
- Well, we all sure
could use a bath.
- Can one of you boost me?
- Are you sure
that's such a good--
- Come on.
Trust me.
- You're taller.
- [Phadrig] Right, okay.
One.
Two.
Three!
Heh.
Quite the weight.
- Phadrig.
[dramatic music]
- I know a place
where we'll be safe.
Let's go quietly.
- Oh!
Hey, aren't you?
Halt, in the name of
his Majesty Tin Man!
- Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
I
can't
keep.
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Stop!
In the name of
the Tin Man, stop!
[monkey chattering]
[dramatic music]
- Follow it!
Don't let them escape.
- [Phadrig] They're gone?
- [Gromit] It sounds like it.
- Is that you, isn't it?
Phadrig?
- In the flesh.
What's left of it.
- Where've you been?
There were so many rumors.
So much gossip.
- Some of it was true,
I'm sure, Candice.
I dared to speak up and received
first class accommodations
in the dungeons.
What of Alondra?
- It's been decades, Phadrig.
Your wife died ages ago.
When you left, well,
she was never the same.
- And what of my boys?
- [Candice] Last I
heard, they were off
on some grand adventure
to find their father.
A good 16 years ago.
- Candice, we need your
help escaping Emerald City.
- I can't help yae.
Tin Man's got eyes everywhere.
- May we use your wagon
just once again, Candice?
- Didn't yae learn anythin'?
Bein' a revolutionary
just gets yae locked up!
Even your brother Oz has
gone and left Emerald City!
- Oz is your brother?
You never mentioned this.
- Yes, yes, yes, I know.
Oz, the Great and Powerful.
Oz, the former Ruler
of Emerald City.
Et cetera, et cetera et cetera.
The younger brother's
curse, I'm afraid.
To always be lost in your
older brother's shadow.
- Wow.
The Wizard would know why the
lions and munchkins are upset.
Where could we find him?
- Oh, that's easy.
Find the munchkins
an' yae'll find Oz.
- And where are the munchkins?
- No one knows.
- Huh?
- Oh, I'm playin'
with yae, girlie.
They're in the
forest to the east.
Hidden.
Hidin'.
Waitin'.
- What is Oscar doing
with the munchkins?
- Think he realized t'wasn't
safe 'ere and 'e was right!
- Can you help us
to the Munchkins?
- Well, I can get yae
all past the gates
but the fringe of the
forest is as far I go.
- Can't spend a
day in the country
without Tin Man
pulling your leash.
- Thank you, Candice.
- Oh, don't thank me yet.
Yae're in for it.
[tiger roaring]
[suspenseful music]
- Hold.
Where are you bound for?
- Well, gotta pick up
some supplies outta
the city, don't I?
Got some crates,
an' plenty 'o space
to bring back goods, yeah?
[tiger growling]
- Oh!
- Hmm.
- Anything to declare?
- Ehm.
[tiger growling]
[suspenseful music]
- [Guard] Carry on.
[engine rumbling]
[dramatic music]
- Oi, wassat!
I've done nothin' wrong.
Get that beast outta my wagon!
Huh!
Hey, help me get this
beast under control!
- Pull!
What's wrong with the thing?
Go on!
Next time clean
your scraps better!
[engine rumbling]
- All clear.
Yae alright?
- Gromit's a bit unglued.
- I didn't think
about warning yae
about the kalidahs, friend.
They're obsessed with munchkins.
Gobble 'em down, they do.
- Kalidahs?
When did they get kalidahs?
[gentle music]
- [Phadrig] This is progress?
- Look up ahead!
The forest!
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] The leaves.
- [Victoria] These are trees?
[dramatic music]
- [Gromit] He's withered
up the land, let it age
to keep Emerald City running.
[soft music]
- [Phadrig] We thank you
for the help, Candice.
Who's to say what
would have happened
if you hadn't pulled
us off the streets.
- My guess, a round trip to
an all too familiar cell.
[laughing]
- What're ol' friends for, aye?
- Farewell!
- [Gromit] Now, let's
go find the munchkins.
Victoria?
- [Phadrig] Victoria?
- Your Majesty!
- [Tin Man] Speak.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
Prisoners have escaped
from the dungeons.
- [Tin Man] No one in our
dungeons is a prisoner.
Everyone is an
honored guest below.
- Of course, Your Majesty.
I mean to say that
our honored guests
have pre-maturely ended
their stays in the dungeons.
- [Tin Man] Who?
- Phadrig Digg, Gromit
the munchkin technician
and a girl mechanic from
beneath, Victoria Wright.
- When?
- Two hours ago, Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Highly probable
our guests have left
the safety of the city walls.
- But, Your Majesty, the
gates are under heavy guard.
No one has---
- [Tin Man] Silence,
Sir Blackburn.
- [Sir Blackburn]
Yes, Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Find these
guests and return them
to their homes for their safety.
- Of course, Your Majesty.
- I suspect they
traveled eastward.
Bring with you help.
We must ensure no one is
neglected from our care.
- [Sir Blackburn] As you wish.
[gentle music]
- [Lucilia] What's this?
- [Otho] A human?
- [Lucilia] Does this girl
know she is in our forest?
- [Otho] Must not.
- [Lucilia] What's it wearing?
- [Otho] Not fur.
- [Lucilia] Smells ripe.
- [Otho] Smells like meat.
- [Lucilia] Smells good to me.
[animal roaring]
[dramatic music]
- [Victoria] Aahh!
- Victoria!
- [Victoria] The Cowardly Lion?
- Don't inflate his ego.
That's Magnus.
The Cowardly Lion is his father.
- No more talking.
[dramatic music]
[roars]
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[fist thwacking]
- Girl will be good
meal for pride.
- Why share with pride?
Pride did not catch girl.
I did.
- We hunt for the pack, Lucilia.
- We can bring
scraps back to pride.
Hunters get the best meat.
- Lucilia!
Meat is for the pack!
[growls]
Yield.
- No, Magnus, you yield.
- You're lucky, Lucilia.
If you were not my mate, I
would not tolerate your lip.
- But my lip is
why you chose me.
- So I did.
[rumbling]
Otho, carry girl to the pack.
Lucilia.
We go and meet the machines.
- But Magnus, I..
[growls]
Magnus needs me by his side,
not carry meat.
- There she is!
- Uh, hullo.
- Keep walking.
Or the pride will
eat well tonight.
- See here, Mister, ah, Lion.
- Otho!
Remember it.
- Quite right.
Well, then, see here Mister
Otho, you have our friend there
and we must insist you
give her back to us.
- Insist?
Little men, you do not
insist anything of a lion.
- Little?
Who are you calling
little, lion?
- All you Munchkins are alike.
You'll never reach the
height of us lions,
descendants of the Cowardly
Lion, he who has no fear.
[rumbling]
- Well, then why are
you letting the machines
just mow down the forest?
- I did not run from the fight!
But we must eat.
- I see.
Your pride fights
the Emerald City, eh?
She is chosen by the
Witch of the North
to defeat the Tin Man.
- Girl was taken so easily.
How is one so small
to defeat Tin Man?
- With help.
- We need to find the
Munchkins here in the forest.
- Munchkins in the forest
smell like girl does.
Grime and smoke.
- You know of them?
- Know of them?
The Munchkins live in the
forest because we allow them to.
- Could you take us to them?
- No, I must take girl to pride.
- We can make it
worth your while.
- What does man have that
I want besides to eat him?
- Well, how about we
take the girl to the pack
and you point us in the
direction of the Munchkins?
- But girl is important.
- Not so important.
We need to find the Munchkins.
Then you can go join the
fight against the machines.
- [Otho] Girl brought to pride.
Little men to Munchkins.
- Exactly.
- Hmpf.
Deal.
Walk that way.
You'll find pride.
Walk further, find Munchkins.
- Oh, he fell for that?
- Oh, it's just a
matter of determining
what he wanted more,
food or a fight.
- Can I stop playing
dead now, Mr Digg?
- Of course.
Ha, ha!
Now, let's hightail it
before the furry fellow
comes back now.
- Mr Digg, he pointed
this way didn't he?
- No, no, no,
lions and Munchkins
would never live close together.
Quite the opposite.
- The exact opposite.
Now, let's go find my people.
- Maybe that lion wasn't lying.
- Uproarious.
Gromit, don't you have any idea
where the Munchkins might be?
- Do you smell smoke?
- Unfortunately.
- Not me!
Come on.
Huh!
[dramatic music]
- Who would build
something so barbaric?
- [Gromit] We would!
Look!
[dramatic music]
It's been years since
I've seen real homes.
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] They're so small.
- [Gromit] I know.
- And cramped.
- I know.
- And ours.
Now, give me one reason why
we shouldn't put a few holes
in you and then knock
you into that ditch.
Please don't have a good reason.
- Wait, I'm a Munchkin too.
You can't--
- Oh, listen to the
little guy, Heflin.
- What manner of Munchkins
are you to disregard customs,
to insult, threaten--
- Definitely one of us.
- Enough!
I asked you a question
and I'm getting
really impatient
for an answer here.
- We're looking for Oz.
- You looked around, girl?
We're in Oz.
Smell that fresh air?
Oz air.
The trees?
Oz trees.
- No, no, no, not
the land of Oz.
The Wizard, Oscar Digg.
My brother.
- He has a brother?
- Yes he does.
[Munchkins whispering]
- You a traitor?
- Only to the Tin Man.
- Okay, anyone who
betrays the Tin Man
must be a friend of
the Munchkins, right?
- Right.
- Exactly.
Come, come, before the
sun sets on us now.
You don't want to see what
comes out in the dark.
- Wait, what are you...
[Munchkins laughing]
- [Gromit] How far?
- Oh, you'll know.
Huh, chow down!
[Gromit belching]
How is it there in Emerald City?
- It's great.
Everyone is taken care of.
Everyday the city progresses.
- Taken care of.
Huh, that's a way to put it.
- Then why don't the Munchkins
come join Emerald City?
- The Emerald City's
got nothing for us.
- But you could do so much
more with Tin Man's help.
- No help of Tinkle Bucket
ever amount to anything
but broken buttons and bearings.
We're better off without any
Witch, Wizard, or Winkie king.
- Where is my brother,
the great Wizard?
Hasn't gone and
disappeared, right?
Ha, ha.
- I'm sorry but I don't know
nor have any business knowing.
- Sure you should know.
Lend an ear to one another.
If you met Tin Man, Emerald
City would truly become
a home for all.
I'm for certain.
- Tin Bucket hung up his
ear away with his heart.
No one is listening!
- Argh!
- Vic!
Victoria!
- I'm going to help them.
I'm going to help them see
that we can all be a part
of Emerald City.
- What's this help
you're thinking of?
- I'm going to his
Majesty Tin Man.
- That's mad!
- Maybe the Munchkins
don't understand
his Majesty's words, but I do.
He'll understand us too and
he knows that the Munchkins
are needed in Emerald City.
- Just go, walk in.
And talk?
[growling]
- Any sign of them?
- [Victoria] Sir Blackburn!
- Seize them!
- Please!
This could be the difference
between us and war!
- War?
Stand down.
- Sir Blackburn.
Why won't his Majesty Tin
Man accept the Munchkins
into the Emerald City?
- His Majesty has
long determined
that the Munchkins
belong outside the walls.
Just as you belong inside them.
Come home, Miss Victoria Wright.
- His Majesty Tin Man
is much more forgiving
than the Munchkins.
- If he could speak with them.
- They do not change, holding
onto their outdated beliefs
in magic.
They do not share our
Emerald City values.
They do not have a place
in Tin Man's final vision.
- No place for magic?
Have you taken a look around?
You're in the land of Oz!
- We have no use for magic.
Soon Tin Man will
progress the Emerald City
across of all Oz.
Our technological advances
have bettered countless lives.
- I'll return, if I
can speak with Tin Man.
- Of course.
- I said I will return.
Not them!
- Whether they will
be as cooperative
cannot be ascertained.
- Well, then I'm not going!
- The munchkins have
indoctrinated you
with their silly beliefs.
We will not allow
the selfishness
of the few to
inhibit our progress.
[electronic zapping]
- Victoria!
[dramatic music]
[Victoria crying]
[growls]
- Shoot them!
[electronic zapping]
- Ahh!
[dramatic music]
- Are you the
leader of this pack?
- I am.
- To attack one of your own.
You are not fit to be a general.
- To think the wild woods
have actually made you soft.
[growls]
- [Oscar] Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro, I need you to
contact the Witch of the North!
I need her right away.
[gentle music]
- What is it?
- [Oscar] Was it you that
reached out to Victoria?
- Yes.
That was me.
- [Oscar] Are you sure
now is the right time?
- I'm sure.
How much time do
you think we have?
She is much bigger than
the last time you saw her.
- [Oscar] Still,
she is far too young
with so much more to learn.
Only the Scarecrow will know
how to handle the Tin Man.
- I've trusted many
wise men over time
and that has brought us here.
Even after all this time,
you still keep searching?
- He must be in Emerald City.
He must.
- Neither of us can
enter the city safely.
- [Oscar] With your
flying monkeys I could--
- We've been through this.
- [Oscar] It will be
different this time!
- Because of Victoria.
Someone after our time.
The one we have
been waiting for.
Phadrig is still with her.
And I sense Victoria
has already learnt much
about this world, out beyond
the small walls of her dungeon.
- [Oscar] Does she
know of Scarecrow?
- [Locasta] If
Phadrig has told her.
- [Oscar] I must be going.
Farewell.
- Farewell, Wizard of Oz.
[somber music]
- Well, hear, the
noise has stopped.
[somber music]
[man yelling]
- Help, help!
Help!
Help!
[dramatic music]
- [Phadrig] I have you!
Oscar, is that you?
- Phadrig.
You've lose weight!
- You've lost your hair!
- Phadrig!
- Oscar!
[men laughing]
- Oz?
The great Wizard?
We need your help.
Tin Man's soldiers.
Blackburn.
[Victoria crying]
- What's he doing here?
- Relax, brother.
Please.
Let us talk inside.
- Your Majesty.
- [Tin Man] Speak.
- Sir Blackburn sends
me, Your Majesty.
We have a problem in the east.
The lions, they're attacking.
- The cats have turned feral.
Tell Sir Blackburn I will
be joining him on the field.
Ready my allies.
It is time.
- [Heflin] By
Cheeriobed's beard!
What's going on?
- Hello, hairball.
- How are you Puffball?
- Please excuse our intrusion.
We have come to discuss
our dire situation.
- Yes.
Tin Man cannot be
tolerated any longer.
We lions have long known
that Tin Man's heart
did not extend far, but
to see him toss aside
one of his own, it reeks.
- Tin Man must be dealt
with, but mindless fighting
will only lead to
losses on both sides.
- We've tried reasoning.
The girl's tried reasoning.
It's no use.
- Tin Man believes the
more Emerald City grows,
the more he controls, the more
people, the more resources,
the closer he'll get
to saving his wife
and ensuring nothing like
it happens ever again.
- His wife?
- He had a wife?
- That metal man?
- He was not always made of tin.
You see, before the Tin
Man, there was merely a man.
Well, actually a Munchkin,
named Nick Chopper the woodsman.
He fell in love with a servant
of the Wicked Witch of the East,
a Munchkin girl Nimee Amee.
The Wicked Witch was none too
pleased at Nick's advances.
She bewitched his
axe and the next day
the enchanted axe
cut off Nick's leg.
Driven, Nick continued.
But so did the curse.
With every hack, he lost a limb.
With every slash, he
lost a piece of himself.
The enchanted axe's final
blow was to the only area
not replaced by tin.
His own heart.
The tinsmith then replaced
every part of Nick
until only the Tin Man remained.
But there was no heart and
a marriage without heart
is one without love
and doomed to fail.
Years passed and he was
alone, but he did not care.
The strong and heartless
machine just kept chopping.
The emptiness in his chest
and a sudden storm
froze him in time.
Until a young girl
found his can of oil
and rescued him from
his rusted tin prison.
Together, they went
on great adventures,
and, in time, he even
received a new heart.
After the death of the
witch, he was even asked
to run a kingdom for a time.
The Winkie Kingdom enjoyed a
time of peace under his reign.
But the more he spent
bettering the Winkie's lives,
the more he thought
of his other life
when he was a Munchkin.
And when he was in love.
When he could no longer
live with the unknown,
he left, determined
to discover her fate.
Near the southern
border he found Nimee
living out her final days.
The enchantment placed
on the land by Lurline,
Queen of the Fairies,
prevented Ozians from aging,
but it was fading.
Under the newfound
pain of heartbreak,
the Tin Man swore
he would save Nimee
at any cost.
He turned to magic, but the
good witches were unable
to reverse time's
effect on Nimee.
He turned his sights
to the Emerald City.
The Emerald City welcomed the
heroic Tin Man with open arms.
He began to build the
steam engines of Oz
to save his true love.
His work became his obsession.
The Tin Man blindly
followed his heart
and, with the industrial
growth of the Emerald City,
everything changed.
As did he.
He blamed the Munchkins
for taking Nimee
away from the magic.
He blamed the magic
for failing Nimee.
And, eventually, he
blamed his own heart
so he hung it up forever.
- But Tin Man wanted a
world without suffering.
- And he sacrificed
his heart to do so.
Soon he will do away with
magic and anyone in his way.
- We need to take
back Emerald City now
before all the magic in Oz
is completely destroyed.
- This is mad!
Tin Man has not sat
idle on his throne.
- We know the results of
a head on confrontation.
Imprisoned in Emerald
City is the Scarecrow.
But once freed, I believe he
can get through to the Tin Man.
- Scarecrow has
failed us already.
He lost his head and
cost us the city.
- It will be
different this time.
- It will be different!
We can fix this by ourselves.
We can do this
without Scarecrow.
Without feeling afraid.
Without waiting any longer.
We can progress on our own.
- Then let us progress
to the battlefield.
- The lions will
be the vanguard.
We'll create a diversion to
lure him away from the walls.
- Take the north and south
sides of the forest edge.
When Tin Man splits his forces,
the Munchkins will
come in the air,
cutting straight
through their lines.
- Tin Man should be
commanding from the back.
- Obviously.
Too cowardly to fight
and too foolish to hide.
- There should be seven
brigades in total.
Corner each one off.
Not even you can take
them all at once.
- A Munchkin
looking over a lion?
Ha, ha.
- Once we break their
line go right for Tin Man.
We'll cover you.
- Don't get left behind.
- Let's go Munchspendables!
- [Victoria] I'm
right behind you.
- Victoria.
Listen.
- No.
I thought Tin Man would listen,
but I just got Gromit hurt,
and put you in danger.
No one else is
going to get hurt.
- Are you hearing yourself?
Oh blast!
[birds chirping]
- [Heflin] Come on!
We don't know how
much time we have.
- Wait the...
Heflin!
- No!
That isn't funny!
- Maybe to you!
Ha, ha!
Come on Munchkins.
[engine roaring]
Time for war!
[dramatic music]
[roars]
[dramatic music]
- Attention!
Form ranks!
March left!
[dramatic music]
[swords buzzing]
[growling]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
- Huh?
- Erm.
- Huh?
- Huh.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
Ahh!
- Ah!
- Ahh!
- Oh!
- Wait!
Come back here!
- [Guard] Oh!
- Ahh!
Ah!
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Ho!
- [Guard] Ow!
- [Guard] Uhh!
[dramatic music]
- That there is an
electrolaser rifle.
Crank and aim.
Tilt it little
above your target.
The electricity will arc down.
- Better get a good handle.
Or should I go put on
some rubber gloves?
Ha, ha, ha!
You'll be fine.
If anything Noomi's
got you covered.
Let's go Munchspendables!
All aircraft report.
We're heading in!
Let's see what you got!
[dramatic music]
Circle them in.
Blast'em right out!
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- [Tin Man] Signal stage two.
- Ahhh!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
- Magnus!
Look!
[dramatic music]
[engine roaring]
[dramatic music]
- Kemp, move it!
- [Victoria] Wait one.
[dramatic music]
- Below you.
Victoria!
[explosion booming]
- Attention!
Forward, march!
[growls]
- Ah!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
[growls]
[dramatic music]
- [Guard] Wait, come on.
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
[electronic zapping]
Uh!
Ahh!
[electronic zapping]
- Oh!
- Ruh!
[dramatic music]
[growls]
Guards, tend to the others.
I will take care of
little Maggie here.
What ails you so?
What brings you to
threaten our prosperity?
- What twisted
prosperity demands
that your dispose of
even one of your own?
Hmm.
[dramatic music]
Uh!
[dramatic music]
[rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[Magnus gasping]
[footsteps pounding]
[dramatic music]
Ahh!
[dramatic music]
[steam hissing]
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
[dramatic music]
- Said I'd be looking over ya!
[electronic zapping]
- Ho!
- Uh!
- Why fight any further?
- For our hope!
[electronic zapping]
- [Magnus] Rar!
For the faith placed in us!
- [Both] For the people we love!
[dramatic music]
[electronic zapping]
- So proud to stand as
leaders yet you tremble.
Afraid when you fail your
people that you will have
to face the fact
you failed yourself.
So you fight.
So you can hold onto your image.
So you can hide from the
fact that you are no leader.
[dramatic music]
[explosion booming]
I will rid Oz of magic, of you,
of anything that
threatens its beauty.
Not for my people, not
for me, but for love.
[somber music]
[mystical music]
- Quite a mess we have here.
- What else could I have done?
[gentle music]
- We've come to help.
[upbeat music]
- We'll keep the Tin Man's army
distracted, but make haste!
- Thank you!
Thank you!
- [Locasta] Take what you have
learned, find the Scarecrow
and bring an end to this war.
[dramatic music]
[rain pattering]
- The Scarecrow is kept in a
secret chamber somewhere here.
- How can you be so sure?
- He did rule the
Emerald City before.
Remember?
- [Gromit] Hmm.
- Hmm.
- Oh, well.
- [Victoria] Hmm.
- [Gromit] Hmm.
- Watcha' looking at?
The key lies together with love.
Why's that written there?
- Hmm.
That's a new addition.
[walls creaking]
[fire roaring]
- It's the Great
Steam Engines of Oz.
Scarecrow must be in there.
- I'm afraid you're
probably right.
- We can't go in there.
It's blistering!
- What else are
we suppose to do?
No time for back up.
- Well, 18 years in a dungeon
didn't prepare me to face this.
- Mr Digg, we can do this.
Everyone is trusting in us.
Together we can
brave through this.
Where's all that spirit you have
when I bring you your bread?
- Nothing can stop progress.
Can it?
[fire roaring]
[coughs]
- Heh, heh.
Phew!
Phew!
[rocks thudding]
- Ah, ah!
We're almost there.
I can feel it thinning out.
[dramatic music]
[coughs]
- [Victoria] Phadrig!
- [Oscar] Phadrig?
Phadrig!
Brother!
Are you alright?
- I can handle myself this time.
- [Gromit] What
is this trickery?
- It was bait.
Oh, elaborate bait!
Oh no!
- No, Tin Man wouldn't
go back on his word.
- What word?
- The key lies
together with love.
Tin Man has hurt many people,
but he's never betrayed
them in his heart.
- We have to go back.
We can't stay here.
- Relax!
Catch your breath first.
- Oh Alondra.
Why didn't you care for Alondra?
For my sons?
- [Gromit] None of
that was Oscar's fault.
- It's hard to lose
people, isn't it Mr Digg.
I'm starting to understand.
It started out with just
you and me in the dungeons.
But then Gromit joined us.
We found your brother.
And now all the people
of Oz are with us.
Together we can do this.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
Huh.
- He was one of
Tin Man's advisors.
To think that he would...
- I'm so sorry,
Scarecrow, we never knew.
- We have to get him out.
- The key's over there.
To the right.
Don't really have the
fingers to point it out.
- You're alive?
- [Scarecrow] My body
is over there as well.
- The key lies
together with love.
- Oh!
Ha!
Heh, heh, ha!
Hm.
Hmm.
Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho.
Can't give someone brains, but
you sure can give them legs.
- So how are we going
to stop Tin Man?
- You've already learnt how.
- [Victoria] What?
Umm.
[gentle music]
- Hmm, well, back we go I guess.
- The engine pressure
valve is to your left.
- Thank you.
- How can a scarecrow
live without his head?
- Quite boringly.
The matter of my head loss
is a short, but simple story,
which started after the
rebellion in the Emerald City
40 years, seven months,
and five days ago.
- [Tin Man] They rebelled.
Everything I've done
for Emerald City.
For all of Oz.
And they question me.
- [Scarecrow] Is this the
vision you had for Oz?
For Nimmie?
Is this what you would like
her to see when she wakes?
The Emerald City torn by hate?
I have guided you, supported
you, all in the hopes
of keeping you from
forgetting your heart.
- [Tin Man] What has
my heart brought me?
The anger and spite of
idiot tra-la-la Munchkins
who took my love.
I will not tolerate
them or their magic
in my Emerald City again.
- [Scarecrow] And what of me?
Will you listen to reason?
- [Tin Man] I am
finished listening
to your so-called advice.
- [Scarecrow] You
know what he did next.
[dramatic music]
- You?
Back again?
- I'm not here to fight.
- Indeed.
Your fight has already ended.
Huh!
Hah!
Scarecrow?
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Sharp as ever I see!
- The lions.
Didn't they?
- There is much to tell.
[dramatic music]
- [Tin Man] What is
the meaning of this?
- Well, Victoria?
- You should.
- Go up!
Go now.
- My name is Victoria Wright.
- I know who you are.
- Of course you do!
- Scarecrow, why have you come?
- To end it.
This war was to
right our wrongs.
I can't believe how wrong I was.
- It is required.
To purge for the people,
to preserve our prosperity.
- Prosperity?
Today Oz lost.
- Oz needs order.
Each step I have taken has
improved the Emerald City,
soon all of Oz.
This is just another step.
You know it to be true.
- I did walk alongside
Emerald City.
I thought of it as myself.
I also wanted its success.
But you can't only
accept the success.
You're responsible for the
failures of Emerald City.
I'm also responsible
for a lot of hurt.
And we're also responsible
for making it right.
- Why hold onto the failures?
- Ignoring them only
makes things worse.
For you, our friends.
the ones we love.
- Nimmie?
- I learnt a heart is not
judged by how much you love,
but by how much you
are loved by others.
[gentle music]
The lions.
The Munchkins.
All of Oz.
We mustn't run.
We must stand strong together.
Not attempting to be flawless,
impervious to failure,
but together be able
to mend our mistakes.
With love and the imperfections
that comes with it,
we must progress.
[soft music]
- It's over.
The war is over!
It's over!
The war is over!
[dramatic music]
[fireworks exploding]
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music]
- Duh, that radio.
That radio.
That radio.
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music]
- She's all ready to go!
- We have lift off!
[dramatic music]
- Shouldn't you be down there?
- I could ask you
the same thing.
- [Phadrig] Well, there's
still a lot of work to do.
With Tin Man stepping down,
Emerald City will
need a new leader.
- We'll find your sons.
We'll help each other heal
and make Emerald City
truly the heart of Oz.
[upbeat music]
[guitar music]
Oh there was never time enough
Though we spent years on end
In love
In sheltered
moments that we shared
In the home that we made
- I'm here for you, Nimmie.
Our lives are strained
There was one thing
- I will always be here for you
And even when I am
far across borders
- [Oscar] A heart is not
judged by how much you love,
but by how much you
are loved by others.
I'll be floating
Like wind on the ocean
I hear the echoes
of your voice
And all the world
is spinning fast
And our bricks and
mortar never last
And with every half
life that we pass
We are further away
But even when our
lives are strained
There will be one
thing that remains
And even when I am
far across borders
You will always be my home
I'll be floating
Like wind on the ocean
I hear the echoes
of your voice
Though I may travel far
I will never be gone
You will always be my home
And you will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
You will always,
you will always
You will always,
you will always
Be my home
