What's this your dreaming of?
Such big imagination

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.

Go.
Be right there.
Joe, Wanda's here.
Are you ready to go?
Can I go to Joe?
Huh?
Can I? Huh? Please? Can I? Huh? Please?
Please.
Hi, Wanda?
Hi.
Wanda!
Hi, Miss Gummer.
Hi.
Did you get a dog?
No.
You got a dog?
I didn't know if we're
gonna have company.
How do I look? Introduce me?
This is Penny.
She belongs to Marge Martin, you
know, from the Arbor Society.
Well, she left her with me when
she went out of town this weekend.
She's adorable.
Ellen.
This dog has to stay here
today while we're gone.
I just don't care.
I think I can leave
her alone in my house.
I mean, it's not pet proof.
Now, your house is a dog house.
That's right, Wanda.
It's specially designed to
maintain the comfort of dogs,
namely, me.
Well, that'll be fine.
She and Wishbone will have fun together.
Goodbye, Penny.
Try not to pick up any
of Wishbone's bad habits.
Hey.
Bye, Wishbone.
Bye, Penny. Be good today.
Well, Penny, I'm delighted to meet you.
My name is Wishbone.
Uh, fine, thanks. How are you?
You know, I usually
don't entertain company.
If I'd known you were coming, I
would have put on the good collar.
So, this is my house.
Oh, come here. I'd like to show
you my favorite chair in the world.
Please, make yourself comfortable.
Um, not that comfortable.
Well, here we are, and you're
just sitting in my chair.
You don't talk much, do you?
Yeah, we need something else to do.
We need fun. We need an adventure.
Hmm.
I know. Want to play pirates?
Like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn?
I'll be Tom Sawyer, the Black
Avenger of the Spanish Maine.
Do you know that story?
Tom and Huck hit out on
Jackson Island to be pirates.
It was only three miles from home,
but it seemed like another world.
I'll tell you, Huck, this
is just the life for me.
Pirates don't have to get up mornings and
wash and all of that blame foolishness.
I've never done any of that anyhow,
even before I turn a pirate.
Tom, how long you reckon
we've been pirates?
A day and a night?
Think anybody misses us?
You missing anybody, Huck?
Of course.
Not not. Don't got nobody to miss.
What's that?
Ain't thunder.
Let's find out what it is.
I know now.
I know now.
Somebody's drowned it.
That's it.
They done that last summer when
Bill Turner got drowned it.
Shot a cannon, over the water,
make them come up to the top.
Huck, I know who's drowned it's us.
Us?
They think we're dead and drowned it.
We're heroes, Huck! We're famous!
We are gathered here today
to mourn the loss of Huckleberry Finn
and Tom Sawyer.
Their goodness, their nobility
their nobility,
their promise is gone
lost to us forever.
forever.
And we ask ourselves, if
they were with us today,
how could we treat them better?
That's our cue, Huck.
We ask ourselves, how could we have made
their precious little
lives a little easier?
We ask ourselves, we
We
It's a miracle!
The angels have returned!
I'm back here, Polly. Did
you miss me? When do we eat?
Play something. Put your heart into it!
See what I mean, Huck?
There's nothing like being
alive at your own funeral.
Ah, Mark Twain's definitely
one of my favorite
one of my favorite authors.
That's just one of the
exciting stories I know.
Come here.
Penny, I even know a story
about people who can fly.
It's about Baba, Mwana,
and the Spirit of Freedom.
In America, our people were made
to forget that they ever had wings.
The slave owners made them drink,
sorrow, and filled them with shame
to block out.
Our wisdom.
But Baba and Juana hid in the
woods and tended the wisdom plants.
The plants grew very slowly.
One woman remembered a little.
Her day of freedom seemed like a dream.
It's not a dream.
Hold on.
How long, brother?
Soon, sister.
Soon.
Finally, enough wisdom had grown
for Baba to make a medicine.
I need to visit the fields.
To pass this out.
They will be watching.
Leave everything to me, Baba.
I'll clear the way.
Do you forget it?
Get out of work.
Ha, how'd you like to pick on
someone who can fight back?
Come on, give me your best shot!
Touch me if you can!
Hey!
Baba!
It's begun. The time has come.
I'll keep them running.
While brave Rwana led the overseers off,
Baba slipped into the field.
He gave the woman some wisdom
and whispered the magic words.
Zikiliza Binti Yangu,
Funguamoyo and Mbwa,
Zako, Zitaota.
Listen, daughter,
Open your mind,
and your wings will grow.
As he spoke,
Benty felt the glow of the ancient wisdom
and she rolls into the air like a bird.
Fly, Benty!
Fly!
You ain't going nowhere.
What's that?
That is a brand new day.
It's the old man.
It's the old man.
Stop!
You can't stop us!
Freedom will come!
The spirit of freedom
of freedom,
by the ancient wisdom of Africa spread.
Yeah, I remember the first
time I heard that story.
Homer Vincent told it to me himself.
Wait, I've got a momento.
Let's see here.
Ah, here it is.
Hang on.
Here's the poster from his
performance and Oathday.
I helped with the design.
And here's the program.
Plah!
You know I've got a lot
of great stuff under here.
Want to see more?
I'll take that as a yes.
Let's see here.
Oh, this is good.
Here's Joe's Encyclopedia
of World Records.
Yeah.
His dream was to set the record
for consecutive free throws.
It seemed impossible,
but he tried anyway.
Just like Don Quixote.
Do you know about him?
So, are we there yet?
Fortune has smiled upon us.
Look yonder, Sancho.
Huh?
An army of outrageous giants.
I will fight and overcome them all.
For the honor of my
lady Dulcane El Caboso,
it will be my first great victory.
Um, maybe I'm missing something
here, but what giants?
Right in front of us.
Those creatures waving
their enormous arm.
Uh, I don't see giants.
I see windmills.
I tell you, they are giants.
Stand back while I engage
in dreadful combat.
Don Quixote?
Stand, coward!
Fly not from this single night!
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Ouch!
That's a couple of
cracked ribs. At least!
Don Quixote!
Are you all right?
I told you it was a windmill.
You can't fight with a windmill!
You can't fight with a windmill!
You don't understand, Sancho.
Some cursed enchanter
changed the giant into a windmill.
windmill in order to rob
me of my glorious victory.
Well, you win some, you lose some.
I must get up and go looking
for the next adventure.
But there's one problem.
What's that?
I don't think I can get up.
You don't need to. Just walk this way.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha.
I
My helmet, destroyed in battle.
I vow to replace this shattered
helmet with a better one.
A good helmet is hard to find.
They just don't make
them like they used to.
Mark my word, Sancho.
I am the knight who recapture
the golden helmet of Mambino.
Yeah, Sancho Panza was
Don Quixote's best friend.
Joe's my best friend.
Come on, I'll show you our room.
Well, watch you step.
So, this is where we sleep.
Oh, there's a picture
of Joe right up there.
See? See the cute little puppy? It's me.
Ah!
Oh, I remember that dance.
Joe and his friends were having
a hard time getting a lot of him.
just like Elizabeth Bennett and
Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice.
It is a lovely ball.
Don't you agree?
Uh, yes.
It is your turn to speak, Mr. Darcy.
I talk to the dance,
and you ought to make some kind of
remark about the size of the room,
or the number of couples.
Your sister will dance with
just about anybody, huh?
I guess you prefer to criticize everyone.
I have heard all about you.
Well, you don't believe
everything you hear.
May I have this dance?
Why, Penny?
Such grace, such poise and rhythm!
It's amazing that dogs like you and
me never get invited to parties.
Speaking of, let me tell you about
some party animals with no manners.
They were Penelope's
suitors in, the Odyssey.
Where are the suburbs?
There's more wide!
Must, yes.
I am setting a challenge before you.
Whoever wins this challenge
will be my next husband.
Oh.
So you finally decided
to forget about Odysseus?
I'll never forget.
Get him.
This is the bow of Odysseus.
Whoever wins this contest
must be able to send
an arrow clear through
these 12 battle axes.
Nobody can do that.
Odysseus could.
There stands the challenge.
May the best man win.
Well, I'll do it.
No.
Me.
I don't know.
See.
Ah!
Ah!
Let me try.
You, you have to be killing.
Everyone must be given a chance.
Please, sir.
Go ahead.
Thank you, sonny.
Okay, boys.
Watch and learn something here.
The trick is to keep
your eye on the axis.
Hey!
T'am!
Okay, blow the party's over!
Run, you cowards!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha!
Two down, several to go!
Excuse me, sir.
Have a nice trip.
See you next.
F! Ooh, big man with a sword!
May I have the stance?
Woo-bo-woo-woo-bo-bo-bo
- bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-poo!
Hello!
Ooh, that looked like it hurt.
Oh!
He's gonna be feeling
that one in the morning.
Oh, look, all your
little friends went away.
Oh, those suitors were
a bunch of scaredy cats.
Now, you take a dog like me, for example.
I'm not afraid of anything.
I would face any challenger,
just the way the brave knight Ivanhoe
faced Sir Brian Dubois Gilbert.
God of a Saxon.
Prepare for the death
thou hast drawn upon thee.
It is the judgment of righteousness.
To his keeping, I commend myself.
Rebecca, I do defend!
You'll have to do better than that.
Oh!
It's kind of
enough of Norman! And
I have enough of you.
Enough of you!
Enough of you!
And now the big finish!
Slay him not, Sir Dutt.
We allow him vanquished.
My victory is acknowledged.
Free Rebecca!
That's me.
Fearless.
A strange noise.
The only thing that makes a
strange noise is a strange thing.
What if it's the most
famous strange thing?
The scariest science project ever!
Frankenstein's monster!
After months of exhaustive
research and intense research
In preparation, Frankenstein
was ready to test his creation.
This is it.
The moment I've worked so hard for.
Will I be able to infuse a spark
of being into this lifeless thing?
Is this the first step toward
mankind's victory over mortality?
Here goes everything.
More power. I need more power.
This will be more power.
This will be my finest moment.
Yes! I've done it! I've done it!
What?
What is this?
What?
Oh, girls.
It's coming from in here.
Smells okay.
Do you see anything?
Oh!
Can! Get a penny!
Cat!
Evil be lying!
Be gone!
Hey, you come in here!
I dare ya!
I double dare ya!
Ha ha!
Get out!
And stay out!
Ah!
Penny, we make a great team!
We're just like Joan of
Arc and her friend, Louie.
Louie.
You're my best friend.
We've sat under this tree.
and told each other many secrets.
Now, I must tell you something
I've not told another soul.
Great! You know, I love a secret.
France will be rescued
and made great again.
But don't our soldiers run away
when they see the English coming?
Our soldiers will soon
trample the English underfoot.
We will face the enemy.
And we will win.
How?
I will lead them.
I am the one who will lead the
armies of France to victory.
Whoa!
Aren't you just a little bit scared?
I am.
But I won't let fear keep me
from doing the right thing.
Okay. I'm with you, Joan.
This may be the last time
that we ever sit
together under this tree.
No matter what has.
happens. Let's never forget this place.
Our place.
So this, as you may have guessed,
is the kitchen and down here.
Oh, down here, is my food bowl.
I can't complain. Joe
feeds me pretty well.
Sometimes I even get seconds.
Mm-hmm.
But I didn't realize how lucky I was
until I read about poor Oliver Twist.
It was a flea-bitten life
for poor young Oliver.
He was sent to live in
the workhouse, which
was sort of like being sent to the pound.
There was never enough to eat.
And the stuff that was around
You see, Oliver was an orphan,
which means he was astray,
with no collar and no ID tag.
All right, I am a dog on a mission.
Watch me, boys, follow my lead.
Hey, y-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h
- h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h
- h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h
- h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h
Yes.
Please, sir, I want some more.
What?
I want some more.
Hey, work with me here.
Throw me a bone. Anything.
This is unthinkable. You're going out.
Uh-oh. Forever.
Uh, fasten your seat belts,
ladies and gentlemen.
In the event of an emergency land.
We're home!
We're home!
Joe!
Joe! Joe! Joe, Joe,
Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe!
Joe!
Hey, buddy.
Well, it looks like Penny's okay.
Did you and Wishbone have fun today?
Speaking on behalf of Penny
and myself, we had a ball.
Thanks, Ellen.
Sure. Bye, Joe. See you later. Come look.
We'll see you later.
See you around, Penny.
Bye, Wishbone. Thanks for telling
me all those great stories.
Call me some time.
What, but I did you A talking dog?
I don't know.
