If we don't stop this pest,
we won't have any
Gummi berries this winter.
What?
Yeah and that means
no Gummiberry juice.
Why, why, we'd be
virtually defenseless.
Right, so when
that thing comes back
we're gonna have
to handle it my way.
Our ideas have as
much chance as working
- as yours do, Gruffi.
- Hey!
Ideas aren't gonna make
this parasite go away.
It's gonna take a little muscle.
Listen it's
Then you're perfect for the job.
All you got our little muscles.
I heard that.
It's back!
There it is.
Where's it going?
It will be back,
and the Book says, once
a Bush Prattle bird finds food
it won't go away until
all the food is gone.
At this rate, our whole
winter crop will be gone
in just a few days.
We'll just have to
force it to go away.
Right, Tummi?
Uh sure, Gruffi.
That makes sense.
Some people can
only think of force.
Sometimes a little
persuasion is needed.
Isn't that so, Tummi?
That makes sense, too, Grammi.
Well whatever we do,
we better do it quickly.
Well, I have an idea and
its going to stop this thing.
- Yeah well so do I.
- Me, too.
Me, too.
Uh me too.
I think.
Hey, I just
thought of something.
Suppose the bird.
Hey!
Nice birdie, birdie.
Grammi's got some
real birdie food,
for you, Snookems.
Better than those
nasty old berries.
See?
Its the real thing.
I guess it doesn't
like your cooking either.
Behold, I shall now magically
blow away this pesky bird.
Uh, oh no.
No, wait! I mean, some air!
Whoa!
Everybody's a critic.
Hmm?
Nice likeness.
A Gummies got to do
what a Gummies got to do.
It's time to get tough.
Stay there,
you scrawny butter churn.
Gotcha.
Gee the stars are
out early tonight.
Oh lets face it.
We're just gonna have
to all work together.
Right.
And I suggest combining all our
efforts into one big plan.
Here. Here.
Fine, then its
obvious we need to build
a great big fence.
Terrific idea, Gruffi.
Just a minute.
A fence isn't going
to stop that thing.
We need to scare it off,
like with a gigantic
ogre scarecrow.
Good thinking, Grammi.
That things too stupid
to be scared of anything.
Oh, we found something
you're an expert on.
Stupidity.
No Gruffi's, right.
A fence is the only way
to keep that dumb bird out.
Makes sense to me.
Gummies, Gummies, we only have
time to work on one plan.
I suggest we take a vote.
Can I say something?
You're too little
to vote, Cubbi.
I am not.
I've got a great idea.
Why don't you
run along and play?
But listen to me.
Sure, sure, sure, kid.
Goodbye.
Okay, now lets vote.
I say we build a fence.
Well I opt for the scarecrow.
- Fence.
- Scarecrow.
Two to two.
Well looks like its
up to you Tummi.
- Tummi?
- What?
Which do you vote for?
Building a fence or a scarecrow?
Uh, they're both good ideas.
But there's only time
for one of them.
You're the tie breaker.
One or the other.
You have got to choose.
I uh, I got to think it over.
We could all die of old age
waiting for him to make up
his alleged mind.
I was right.
That dumb bird is always
going back and forth
to the same place.
I knew it!
The bird has puppies.
Wait till I tell the others.
Come in.
I uh, hope I'm not
disturbing you, Tummi.
I thought you might be hungry
thinking about what a good
idea a scarecrow would be.
That's not more bird food is it?
Oh no, Tummi.
Its your favorite cookies.
Oh, boy. Thanks.
Now, Tummi.
About this vote.
Oh dear.
What's the matter?
I don't want anyone
to think I was talking
to you about your vote.
But you were.
Come in.
Hi ya, Tummi old pal, old buddy.
Just though I'd drop
this off to you.
My pocket knife, you fixed it.
But I wanted you
to fix this months ago.
Yes of course, I thought you
might need it while we work
on our old bird fence.
You know what I mean?
Wink-wink.
You got something
in your eye, Gruffi?
Mums the word.
Come in.
I mean, come in.
I found this picture book
I thought you might enjoy.
Its called,
"Scarecrows of the World."
Oh gosh.
I wouldn't want anyone
To get the wrong idea.
Better hide.
- Oh, what a splendid idea.
- No.
Tummi, are you in there?
Not in there either.
Just a minute.
Come in.
Ah listen, Tummi.
I'll be happy to do your chores
while you're deciding what
a great idea the fence is.
- Help!
- What are you doing here?
- You big cheater.
- You're after Tummi's vote.
- I know why you're here.
- Hey guys.
- Its just not fair.
- I should have known.
I can't trust any of you.
Quiet!
I'm sorry.
But I'll never be able to make
up my mind with all this noise.
Okay, bonehead.
Think.
Tummi, what are you doing?
I was thinking.
Yeah I heard.
Have you made up your mind yet?
Yes.
No.
Maybe? Any idea?
I thought you'd never ask.
Well Tummi, have you decided?
Yeah.
I have.
Well what should we gonna build?
A fence?
Or a scarecrow?
Neither.
I have a plan.
This isn't funny, Tummi.
Where would you get a plan.
From him.
Goodbye Gummiberry juice.
Hold on Sunni, he's not
as little as he looks.
Go ahead, Cubbi.
While you guys were all voting.
I followed the bird.
She's got babies.
Hungry babies.
Of course.
All we got to do
is get the babies
to eat a different
kind of berry.
And mommy will leave
our berries alone.
Cubbi that's brilliant.
- I don't know.
- Well I do.
I say we vote right now.
Cubbi votes, too.
Yeah, well he certainly
earned his vote.
All in favor, raise your hands.
I didn't really want
to build a fence anyway.
There she goes.
Now hurry, hurry,
before she gets back.
I hope she's gonna like
the patch of wild black berries
we found for her.
This had better work.
Gummis right, the book said
they like these better
than Gummi berries.
I just hope these
feather heads can read.
Come on, Gruffi,
we haven't got all day.
All right, all right.
Come on, momma.
You're gonna have to
do better than that.
Here she comes.
Leave all
the baskets except one.
I think this is gonna work.
Everyone take their places
and hope for the best.
Here it goes.
Yo-hoo, momma.
Breakfast!
Congratulations, Cubbi.
By the time she's
picked this place clean,
we'll have harvested
our Gummi berries.
Well lets just hope our kids don't plan
to set up housekeeping around here.
Yeah then we'd have
to let them vote, too.
Hey.
Wouldn't we?
And here's one from me, father.
Happy Monarch's day.
Why thank you, Calla.
I'm overwhelmed by
all these gifts.
But you deserve them,
Your Majesty.
The whole kingdom loves you.
Here's another gift,
Your Highness.
It was left outside
the drawbridge.
"To King Gregor,
happy Monarch's day.
Put this gift on your
battlement for good luck.
Fond wishes, the Gummi Bears."
The Gummi Bears?
It must be a joke,
Your Highness.
Everyone knows that
Gummi Bears don't exist.
Yeah a joke right, Princess?
Of course, its probably just
from some bashful subjects.
Well let's open it up, shall we?
What is it, Your Majesty?
Why its a gargoyle.
Uh, its repulsive.
True but repulsive or not,
it is a gift
and I don't want
to offend anyone.
Here, Sir Tuxford, place it
over the courtyard gate.
Its supposed to bring us luck.
They took the gargoyle inside,
your Dukieocuity, sir.
Good.
Now tonight we'll
see what kind of luck
comes to dear King Gregor.
Good or bad?
But why would
someone send a gargoyle
to father and sign
it the Gummi Bears?
Gee, I don't remember
sending the king a present.
That's because
we didn't send one.
Oh! Good reason.
What did the gargoyle look like?
Little with funny
looking feet and big ears
a stupid smile.
Hmm? Sounds somehow familiar.
I just can't put
my finger on it.
Father is so dear to me
and that statue makes
me fearful somehow.
Come on, Calla.
Its getting late.
All right.
Well look, I thought
we better let you know.
Oh thanks, bye-bye.
I'm going to check
the Great Book of Gummi
just in case.
Oh, this is bad.
Very, very, very bad.
What's bad, Zummi?
Oh sorry, Zummi.
Everyone's asleep
and I saw your light on.
Sunni, quickly, quickly.
Is there a full moon tonight?
Yes, I think there is.
Why?
Then King Gregor
is in grave danger.
And that's checkmate.
Aren't you missing a player?
No, this way I never lose.
Well don't stay
up too late, Calla.
Oh I won't, Father.
Goodnight.
Are you all right, father?
Yes, fine dear.
Its these old castles,
there's always something
that needs fixing.
Goodnight.
I got a bad feeling about this.
How can we stop
the gargoyles, Zummi?
Well if moonlight
brings it to life
I'm hoping this daylight spell
can turn it back into stone.
But who could of sent it?
Icky Igthorn I bet.
Go back to bed, Cubbi.
This is important stuff.
That's why you need a
warrior to protect you.
There's no time for arguments.
I just hope we're not too late.
Kevin, is that you?
This better not be
one of your jokes.
Unwin?
Ow, oh.
Show your face, you coward!
Show face, show face.
Father's gargoyle,
its bewitched.
When I get my hands on you
you'll regret the
day you were carved.
I've got you now.
Wait!
Sunni, what are you doing here?
We came to warn
you about the gargoyle.
I already know.
He's in this hall, somewhere.
I'll bounce ya,
you rotten snake.
I don't understand, Zummi.
Where did this
gargoyle come from?
It's a devious weapon
created years ago
by a wicked wizard.
I'm afraid Duke Igthorn found it
and sent it here to
harm King Gregor.
Quickly, we must stop it.
Well, if we can
find the gargoyle,
I think I can turn
it back to stone
with this daylight spell.
All right, look on three,
close your eyes.
The flash will be very bright.
Hey! Come back here with those.
Can we look now?
- He's got Zummi's spell.
- Let's get him.
All right, here's what we do.
Sunni and I will go warn father.
Cubbi you and Zummi.
Zummi, Zummi?
Where is everyone?
He can't see
without his glasses.
Oh dear.
Well Cubbi, you take
care of Zummi and
And get the spell back
from that goony gargoyle.
Right, hurry Sunni.
Upstairs to father's room.
Come Zummi, we're off.
I'm gonna bash and smash that
little creep. You'll see.
Not without my glasses, I won't.
Father's bedroom is
just down this hall.
Yoo-hoo!
Let's push it out the window.
Uh-huh.
Nice gargoyle,
a handsome gargoyle.
Give the pretty paper to Calla.
Pretty please,
with sugar on top.
Drat. We've got to get that spell
or we'll never stop that gargoyle.
Come on.
Be careful, Cubbi,
that creature is very clever.
Yeah?
Well I'm rough and tough.
What is it, Cubbi?
There he is, stay here.
Cubbi?
Okay, bluserpuss, where are you?
Now I'm really mad.
Really mad, really mad.
Now I'm gonna bash ya.
Hey, give me back my
sword or I'll bash ya.
Bash, bash.
Oh thank heavens
your back, Cubbi.
Did you get him?
No, no bash bash.
Oh that's too bad, too bad.
Hey, what's wrong with
your voice, Cubbi?
Are you sure this is
the right way, Cubbi?
Yeah, bash bash.
You can do it Sunni.
A little more,
I'm just about.
Oh no.
I got it.
Now we have to find Zummi.
Uh, not really.
What can we do?
I don't know.
If you call to him,
he might fall.
There must be a door
along here somewhere.
I wonder where I am.
My glasses.
Oh how did I get in here?
Oh no.
What will I do, what will I do.
Zummi, down here.
Calla, Sunni.
I need my spell.
We'll never get
it to him in time.
Sure we will, watch.
Oh no.
Zap him for me, Zummi.
I can't see a thing.
What's going on?
A bright flash woke me.
Oh lightning, I guess.
Oh father.
At last you're safe.
But I was in no danger, Calla.
Now these old castles
always need fixing.
Well this gargoyle won't give
us anymore trouble tonight.
But what do we
do with it, Zummi?
Its still very dangerous.
Let's smash it into
a billion pieces.
Oh, no, no, Cubbi.
I have a better idea.
Hmm?
Pretty statue from
the Gummi Bears.
Will look good in
Dukie's bedroom window.
He's gonna like that.
