What's the story Wishbone?
What's this your dreaming of such
big imagination on such a little pop?
What's the story Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another tale.
Sniffing out adventure
with Wishbone on the trail.
Come on Wishbone.
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's the story? Wishbone?

Wishbone
Hello?
That was good.
That was good. Is it my turn yet?
Guys, you've got sticks and a ball.
You're just missing one thing.
The dog. The dog.
Are you okay?
I just don't understand
their fascination with weeds.
I mean?
Hey, I play ball without wheels
every day, and I am a professional.
Who needs wheels to go left?
Go right.
Or even jump!
Looka!
Try that with wheels.
No one's paying attention.
Ah, well.
I guess people need wheels because
they've got to make do with only two feet.
Not four.
Like, some fortunate souls are around.
around here.
Ah, it must be tough being a human.
It's close.
Don't be tough being a human.
Don't those things.
Don't those things come with breaks?
Great pass, too.
Thanks.
That was an awesome play.
Yeah, I'd say this team's
ready to play some hockey.
All right.
Enough talk.
Let's choose sides and play for real.
Sure.
Thank you.
Ah, the age-old ritual.
Choosing up sides.
The process of natural selection to
see who's the pick of the litter.
I got Kobe.
I'll take Sarah.
And who's the runt.
I'm not taking him.
Come on, DeMine.
We need another guy.
We'll make do with what we got already.
DeMont.
Look, if you want him
to play, you take him.
Joe, go ahead and take him. I'll sit out.
No way. You, me, and David.
We're a team, remember?
Yeah, we always play together.
Would you make up your minds already?
Look, we can just forget the whole thing.
He wants to play and he should play.
No, really, I don't want
to start any problems.
Guys, you're going to take him or what?
No, it's okay.
Really?
Ouch, that looked like it hurt.
But I guess that hurts.
But I guess that hurts even more.
He's more.
Public humiliation.
Nothing worse than that.
Quasimodo.
He's the main character in
the hunchback of Notre Dame.
by Victor Hugo. The story takes
place in 1482 in the city of Paris.
Quasimodo is a lonely hunchback who
lives in the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
He's the bell ringer, so he spends most of
his time high up in the cathedral tower.
He has no friends, and his only
joy is the ringing of the bells.
I need to get out more.
I can't spend my whole life in a tower.
Out in the public square, a
big festival was going on.
It was called the Day of
Kings and the Feast of Fools.
It was a time for plays,
performances, and singing.
But the really big deal was
Look! Here he comes!
The crowning of the Prince of Fools!
This wasn't exactly what I had in mind
when I said I wanted to get out more.
Why, it's just Quasimodo,
that deaf bell-ringer.
Ugh, that ugly hunchback!
He lives way up in that
cathedral bell tower.
At least there, we don't have
to set eyes on that awful face!
All right, all right,
you've made your point.
She's beautiful.
Hi.
Hey, look at this.
We've got the beauty and the beast.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Who am I to compare to her beauty?
Uh oh.
Hi.
I
Oh, oh.
Oh, easy, easy.
Um
Um
You.
What?
Uh, sir, I may be deaf, and that may be
sign language, but you got quite a stutter.
Don't you play cute with me.
You know who I am?
Dom Cloudfroyo, your master.
Surely you haven't
forgotten how I took you in
when you were left as an orphan
child on the steps of the cathedral.
How I raised you, taught
you everything you know.
Come.
We have important work to do.
Yeah.
Why do I have the first you?
feeling this can't be a good thing.
Okay.
Her eyes.
Her eyes black and sparkling as
as the
What's for dinner?
Oh, look at her.
Her eyes black and sparkling as the
night. Her feet flow together
like spokes and spinning wheel.
Her graceful arms twine and
entwine like two scarves.
Oh, I get it. You like her.
I must have her.
You will get her for me.
Ooh.
My master is, how shall I
say this, extremely troubled?
Or else?
On the other hand, you're a reasonably
attractive man with only only
only partial male pattern baldness,
I mean, what's not to like?
Oh, boy.
Here. You forgot one.
You forgot one?
Thanks.
Um
I know this.
sound crazy, but, well, there's
this guy who wants to meet you.
He's my friend.
Well, actually, um, he's my master.
Actually, totally nuts.
I mean, nuts about you, that is.
I must be going.
No, wait! You don't understand.
If you don't say bonjour to this guy,
it's
A revoir for me.
Get it?
Oh!
D'Foyle! What did you do to her?
What? Hey, come back here!
Um, miss?
Miss?
Miss?
up. Please? Come on.
Everything's gonna be okay.
You there!
Oh. Hi, guys. Um, would you believe me if
I told you this isn't what it looks like?
Ugh.
Wishbone.
What? Get off my tower.
Fine.
Guess the kid got his
chance. Good for him.
Boom!
Then again? Maybe not so good.
Oh.
Looks like I'm not the only one around
here who doesn't belong on wheels.
Oh, yeah, gotta have a talk
with this kid right away,
before he ends up in the hospital.
Check this out.
Come on.
Come on.
Boy, this kid can't catch a break.
Here, I'll have you up yet.
Now there's somebody with
the courage to offer hand.
even when it might not be popular.
A helping hand is definitely
what Quasimodo needed,
especially after he was accused
of a crime he didn't commit.
Ah, Cosimo, how do you
like your punishment
for trying to kidnap that gypsy girl, eh?
You were thinking you could
woo her with your good looks.
Please, might I have just a little water?
Mamselle would love to
get some nice cool water.
If you'll give her a smooch!
Get me away from the bruce!
Uh-oh, bad news.
She must hate me for what I did.
This is it. Revenge! I'm doomed!
What? Water? You? Me?
Wow.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
I was you.
He's the work of the devil, don't
you know, as wicked as he's ugly.
Oh, thanks.
I mean, really, thanks.
I mean, really, really, really, thanks.
I felt sorry for you.
What else could I do?
Come on, let's go.
Come on, let's go.
Where are you going?
To teach Nathaniel how to skate?
You're what?
She's what?
You're what?
You're kidding! The kids are total clunt!
Oh, like you've never fallen down or
embarrassed yourself in public before.
He just needs some lessons, that's all.
That is, if you want me to help you.
Yeah.
Okay then, let's go.
Well, this is an interesting
development now, isn't it?
Are we having fun yet?
Hey, guys.
Hello?
Okay, what's wrong?
I've seen Sam in five days.
Six and a half, but who's counting?
What happened?
She's always over Nathaniel's house.
Nathaniel Babaleski.
Well, maybe she likes him.
What do you mean?
Well, you know, likes
him, like a boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
Nathaniel?
No way.
Well, it was just a thought.
I'm probably wrong.
I'll see you later.
He's not her boyfriend.
Well, you gotta admit, she's
never acted like this before.
Oh boy, these guys are really bad off.
I'd better get to the bottom of this.
First things first, I've got to
track down Sam and Nathaniel.
I could always send out an all
points bullet into my canine friends,
or I could let my trusty
nose track them down.
But
I think it's best to
start off at Sam's house.
Gosh, I love it when I'm right.
Hey, Dad, it's me and Nathaniel.
Hi, I'm from the Wishbone
Chaperone service.
Wishbone, what are you doing here?
Oh, don't mind me. You kids have
fun. I'll just be in the corner.
Sam, I don't think I'll
ever get the hang of it.
Oh, come on, you're making progress.
I'm not sure I'd call falling
down every time I escape progress.
All I want to do is, I
don't know, just sort
of break the ice with,
you know, the guys.
Tear up, it'll happen.
How?
Well, we'll think of something.
So far, everything seems okay,
but I'd better keep sniffing
around to find out what's really
going on between these two.
I'll get you some water.
Thanks.
Must be nice. Having a dad around.
Someone to teach you how to
play basketball or to skate.
I haven't seen my father
since I was seven.
There you go.
Hello. You again.
You know, my folks split up.
Every night I used to wish to,
you know, get back together.
But lately.
I don't know. I mean, they're happier
now, so I guess that's good, right?
Yeah.
Hmm. Kind of helpless without
anybody to push you around, huh.
Well, I still think about the way it
was before my parents got a divorce.
They gave me this on my birthday.
The one before they decided to split up.
I keep it because it reminds
me to despite everything.
We still had some good time together.
You know, now that I get a close look,
it is kind of an interesting unit.
Not that I'd want to wear
wheels permanently or anything.
Okay, one quick ride.
In the name of science.
Wee-he-he-he-he-he-ha-h-h-h-h-h-h
Where's the break on this thing?
No!
Double no!
Oh!
Wow!
Wow! What a save!
I haven't seen anything
that timely since
Since
Well, since Quasimodo rescued Esmeralda.
Yes.
Quasimodo's master, Don Froyo,
was still after Esmoralda.
In a final attempt to
to get her for himself, Don Froyo
attacks Esmeralda's boyfriend.
To make things even worse, Asmolda
is falsely accused of the crime.
Her sentence?
Death.
This is your last chance.
I alone can save you.
What do you mean?
It is I for whom you
are taking the blame.
But, don't you see?
I can undo it.
One word from your lips
is all it will take.
Say you will be mine and
your life will be spared.
You stood by as Cosimo's suffered
punishment meant for you.
Now you would do the same to me.
You are an evil man.
Be gone or I'll denounce you.
Well
Die then.
High above, Quasimodo watched as the
lovely Esmeralda was led to the gallows.
These bells won't ring
on a sad day like today.
What a shame.
And after she showed such kindness to me.
Why was I not made of stone like these?
Wait, I'm not a statue?
I don't have to see.
sit around here, I can
actually do something!
And Ovir, your hero is here!
Drop that rope, stinky!
Come on! We'll be safe in the cathedral!
Stop! I am no master!
Not anymore!
Give me! Coming through!
Make white people!
Escape in progress! Make way!
Esmerelda, you'll be safe here.
At this moment, Cosimodo,
you're truly beautiful.
Good boy, Wishbone, you did it!
Ha ha ha ha! You bet I did!
Did what?
If you hadn't gotten on my skateboard,
we would have never
found out the way we're
going to help Nathaniel
break dice with the guys.
Hmm
Whatever you say.
I just
I don't know.
It was
And then I caught it.
Let's get to work.
Come on, let's play.
I don't feel like it.
Me either.
Hey, just because
Samantha dumped you two,
doesn't mean you have to cry about it.
Hey, guys!
Have I got good news for you!
What are you so excited about Wishbone?
You're not gonna believe it!
Wait! Here they come!
I'm!
Hey guys, long time to see!
Oh, really? Oh, we hadn't noticed.
Enough chit-chat. Let's play.
Great idea.
I would like to show you the
best new hockey player in town.
Who? You?
No.
Him.
No way.
Maybe I should go.
No, Nathaniel, it's time for you to play.
What's your problem?
Our problem? You're the
problem. You and Nathaniel.
What are you talking about?
All you ever do is hang out with him.
I'm just trying to be
nice. He needs a friend.
So do we.
Oh, come on, you guys. This isn't
like some kind of competition.
It's not like he wins and you guys lose.
You're still my best friends.
We are?
Yes.
Then you mean you're not
Nathaniel's girlfriend?
You thought that I was
You guys.
But come on, about Nathania playing?
You gotta be kidding.
I'm not kidding.
He can really play.
But he's, you know, clumsy.
Parents' can be deceiving.
Are you ready to rumble?
Yes!
Stay cool, Nathaniel. Stay cool.
I don't know about this.
There's a shot.
There's the shot.
And Nathaniel makes another save.
The kid's a brick wall out there.
This is it.
It's down to this for the game.
The Battle of the Titans.
Game over!
Joe's game wins!
Joe's game wins!
That was so is awesome.
All right.
That's so cool.
I need to do it.
Oh, man.
You should have seen me.
Yes.
All the pack of paid off.
How come you even tell us
before that you could do that?
I guess I just needed a little help.
Find out myself.
But
All right, I get Bob
Veleski a goalie next game.
Oh, no, you don't.
Joe picked him and you didn't.
Right.
Yeah, and the team that plays
together stays together.
Good for Nathaniel.
There's just one thing he didn't learn.
Woo-ha!
Yes!
That was so awesome!
In the hunchback of Notre Dame,
the writer Victor Hugo
describes a mob scene
with thousands of heads piled in
something like the balls
in a park of artillery.
How did we create this supersized
crowd for the scene in my show?
Well, first, we brought in some
special actors, called extras.
An extra is a background person,
and they're not allowed to speak.
They're just there in the background
and make it look realistic.
You can't have a courtyard with
just the two principal characters
and that you need to have
some kind of movement.
So there were about 20 extras
in this scene, enough to fill
a corner of the courtyard.
But to make it look really jam
- packed, we needed a visual effect.
I can't remember how
many extras we had that
day, but it was an eight
as many as you see,
because I photographed that particular
courtyard in eight sections,
and then we placed them all
together to make the one big group.
We call that in the Wishbone
language a zone shot,
because we photographed each of the
sections of people in their own zone.
When all of the camera shots
are combined, the courtyard
It is so full there isn't
room enough for a cat,
even if Victor Hugo had
included one in his scene.
We worked pretty hard to
create this crowd scene.
Of course, even if you have
a thousand human extras,
you still need a canine superstar!
The Hunchback of Notre
Dame by Victor Hugo.
Hey, if you want to stand
out in a crowd, be like me,
and put your nose in a book.
Check out what's new
at your local library.
I'm going to be.
I don't know.
Thank you.
