[screams]
[chittering]
[laughing]
[giggles]
[grunts]
Missed me.
[squeaking]
[chittering]
[thunder rumbling]
[plane engine whirs]
[chuckles]
Why are you doing this, Dexter?
We were partners. The artifacts...
- Should be mine. - [Jin] No!
It belongs to the people.
Well, I'm a people.
And I know how to make a fortune from it.
[Jin grunts] You'll make us both crash.
[Norm] Sorry, kids. Running late.
Got to see Grandpa.
[groans]
Whoa. No. No.
- [chittering, groaning] - [Norm] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[screaming]
[chittering]
Sorry, Pete and Belle. Didn't see ya.
[chittering]
[panting]
I'm late. I'm late. Oh, gosh.
I got to get to Grandpa. I'm late.
He's gone. Oh, great. He's right there.
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
I got it. Hi, Grandpa.
I got... I got... [panting]
You're late.
Sorry, Grandpa. Is everything all right?
More than all right.
I have a request of you, Norm.
Uh, it doesn't involve trimming your nose hairs again,
- does it? - [Grandpa chuckles] No.
I want you, as king, to preside over a wedding.
Sure. Whose?
Mine!
You know that Judith and I
have been spending a lot of time together.
And I've come to realize that I love her
and she loves me.
And we want to marry.
And according to tradition, since you are king,
I am asking your approval.
My approval, eh?
Hmm.
Well, you know what I say.
I say abso-bear-lutely.
This is fantastic. A wedding,
followed by, uh, a wedding party.
Let's do it. When? Tonight?
According to tradition, a former king's wedding
can only occur under the special glow
- of the Aurora Borealis. - The Northern Lights.
So many colors, red, green, uh, blue green,
uh, sort of a yellowy green.
Um, I guess really mostly green.
Uh, Norm! Norm!
Stop naming colors.
The Aurora Borealis is due to occur
in exactly six days.
Six days? Got it.
I'm so happy for you, and for you, Judith.
Now, are you sure you'll be there
to perform the ceremony?
Your word is your bond.
And in things, both large and small,
giving your word and being true to your word
means everything.
Yes.
Your subjects must know that when a king says
he will be somewhere or do something,
he will not let them down.
Well said, Socrates.
Hmm. I got it.
Plus, I need to set an example.
My family and the bears of my kingdom look up to me.
And, hey, hey, we got a wedding coming up.
I need to let my human pals know.
Don't worry, I got this.
[Norm screams]
- [thudding] - [Norm groaning]
Oh. Ow. It hurts. Ow.
[phone ringing]
[phone beeps]
Hey, Olympia, Vera. Hi, Fong.
- Hi, Norm. - Hello.
Wonderful to see you.
What's up?
Big stuff. My Grandpa is getting married.
[gasping]
A later-in-life marriage, such a beautiful thing.
Oh, we'll have to get a gift for the happy couple.
Uh, bears don't do the gift thing.
We have everything we need, snow, ice, fish.
Uh, more snow, more ice, more fish.
Okay. Then what about the reception?
Have you made plans?
Yup. We plan to have it in six days.
- [chuckles] - Never mind. We'll help out.
Any ideas about food, decorations, entertainment?
Yes. Those would be good.
Okay, then great. So you'll all come?
- [Vera] Of course, we will. - [Olympia] Mm-hmm.
Because we're always there for each other.
And I know when you say you'll be here,
it's a promise, right?
Yes. Of course.
And a promise means giving your word.
- And your word is your bond. - Norm,
we said we'd be there and we'll be there.
Great. So, just to be clear, I have your word on this?
- [all] Mm-hmm. - [Norm] Say it.
[all] You have our word.
[beeping]
Hey! It's the new app I put on your phone, Pop.
It tracks UFOs.
[phone beeping]
- What's that? - You know, Pops,
Unidentified Flying Objects, spaceships, aliens.
No, I mean what's an app?
It's a digitally-downloaded application that...
It's a special thing your phone does.
The app is telling me that we've got some flying objects.
[beeping quickens]
[beeping stops]
And now they're gone. Weird.
Some strange doings over by Misty Mountain Glacier.
Uh, why would anyone even wanna go to Misty Mountain Glacier?
It's so misty and mountain-y and, uh, glacier-y.
[wind howling]
It is indeed a strange and dangerous place.
Some blizzards, avalanches, shrouded by fog.
Sounds cool, I'm in.
[both] Uh-huh.
[Norm] Nope.
This is a job for a king, which I am.
And I gave my word to protect this kingdom,
and I will keep my word
- because... - Pop... Just go, okay?
Yes, I will. Alone.
As befits a king.
I'm not, uh, afraid.
Uh...
Okay.
[wind howling]
[grunts]
I got this.
Huh?
Hey, no lemmings. This is a solo mission.
[chittering]
Guys, this is a dangerous place.
- [wind howling] - Hear that?
Blizzard winds.
- [wind howling] - [chittering]
Now, go!
[chittering]
[wind howling]
Hmm?
[laughing]
[wind howling]
I wonder what happened to the pilot.
[sniffing]
Oh, footprints.
[beeping]
[gasps] Aha.
[beeping]
Aha!
[grunts]
[rumbling]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[rumbling]
[groans]
[Norm groans]
- [beeping] - Huh?
Hmm.
This is what little dude must have been looking for.
Hey! Are you okay?
[Jin groaning]
[Norm] Oh, this can't be good.
[grunts]
[sighs]
[groans]
- Hey, there! - [gasps]
A talking polar bear?
You must be Norm of the North.
[chuckles] Yeah. Except I got this promotion.
Not a big deal.
But I'm now King Norm of the North.
And I believe this belongs to you.
Oh, thank goodness.
This has to be returned to China immediately.
Well, no way we're getting out of this cave until morning,
when the sun warms the ice a bit
and makes the digging out easier. Hmm.
- [groans] - Whoa. You okay?
Just a little shaken by the cave-in
and woozy from the plane crash.
What are you doing out here?
This place is dangerous and misty.
I dropped this down here because someone was trying
to steal it from me.
[thud]
[chuckles]
[thunder rumbling]
[gasps]
[Jin] I'd flown so far off course,
I ran out of gas.
[alarm blaring]
I landed it as best I could.
Yeah, I saw your plane down by the... Wait.
You threw this valuable artifact thing out the window?
Yes, but it had a computer chip so I knew I could find it again.
And I did, here in this cave, but then the cave-in occurred.
I feel great shame and sorrow.
[Norm] Well, who's trying to steal it form you?
A man named Dexter.
He and I were partners.
Curators of antiquity in China at a university museum.
But a few years ago,
I noticed that some of the antiquities
had gone missing.
And I suspected that they had been stolen.
Dexter swore he knew nothing about these thefts,
but I had my suspicions.
I placed computer chips on all the antiquities.
Should one get stolen,
I would be able to track its location.
My suspicions about Dexter soon proved to be true.
I caught him red-handed selling off an ancient relic.
Fired by the university board, Dexter left in disgrace.
You see, the artifact is of great value.
Beyond the kind that money can bring.
It is the key to the hidden treasures
of ancient Chinese emperors
contained within the Mountain of Nine Cauldrons.
And it must be returned to China immediately
so it can used for an event that occurs
but once every hundred years.
[groans]
Promise me something, Norm.
If I don't make it, you will see that this gets
to my grandson, Chen.
Uh, what are you talking about?
You said it yourself, you'll make it just fine.
But if I don't, Chen lives in Beijing,
teaches at the university.
Beijing, university, got it.
If you don't make it, I'll give the artifact to him.
- Promise? - For sure.
Hmm.
- I have your word? - Absolutely.
You can count on me.
I'm a king, and a king's word is his bond.
Hmm.
Can you just say it?
I give you my word. You have my word.
Consider it given.
You're gonna be just fine.
Now, come on, let's get you warmed up.
Here we go. All right, let's scoot over here.
- Sorry. - [Jin groans]
Pardon me. You all right there?
Norm, you're crushing me. [grunts]
- [bones crack] - [yawns]
Hey, Jin, wakey-wakey!
We could try and dig our way out now.
[groans]
Hmm?
[jackhammer pounding]
[screams]
Ah!
[grunts] Lemmings!
[chittering]
Hold it.
Uh, I'm worried about another cave-in
if there's any kind of digging.
Might be best to wait for the sun to melt the ice some more,
unless you have a better idea.
- [all] Hmm? - Pee-pee!
- [peeing] - [groans]
Uh, just a tip.
If you get thirsty, don't eat the yellow snow.
[cracking]
Okay. Hold it. Stop!
The melting was good, but there's too much cracking.
[cracking]
[rumbling]
Never mind me.
Save this.
[sighs] Safe and sound.
[rumbling]
Look out!
[gasps]
[grunts]
[gasps]
[grunts]
Okay. Okay. Okay. I got this. I got this.
[creaking]
[grunts]
[sighs]
Wouldn't wanna have to do that again.
Uh, the artifact?
Got it right... Hmm?
[sighs]
[creaks]
[grunts]
Okay.
[grunts]
Thanks.
Yes.
[rumbling]
[pants]
[grunts]
[screaming]
[groans]
[gasps]
I need to catch my breath.
Sure. Sure. Hey, you'll be okay.
I'll get you back to home base, warm you up.
I've got human friends coming.
Anything you need, anything you want.
There's but one thing I need or want,
for you to keep you promise and return this to Beijing.
- Hmm. - [groans]
[Dexter] Well, well, well.
Jin.
I say, not looking so good, old chap.
Oh, I'll have that artifact if you don't mind.
[laughs]
I see you've made friends with the famous dancing bear.
Norm, isn't it?
That's King Norm, thank you very much.
And, no, you may not have the artifact.
[chuckles]
You don't really want old Jin to get hit with a venom dart,
do you?
[gasps]
Probably not. Venom's a bad thing, right?
Very.
These particular darts are soaked in the venom
of my trained Komodo dragons, Mayhem and Chaos.
Yeah, he's got your eyes.
And my nose.
[chuckles]
Their venom is highly toxic.
In his weakened state,
Jin's chances of surviving would be...
Oh, I don't know.
About zero.
[laughs]
Now, the artifact, if you don't mind.
- No, Norm, don't. - [chittering]
[laughs]
- [sighs] - [chittering]
- [gun cocks]
[laughs]
Are these rodents your henchmen?
Your muscle?
[grunts]
Oh, no.
[laughs]
Hey, what are you... [laughs]
No. [screams]
[laughs]
[chittering]
[gasps] Oh, no.
[grunting]
[Dexter] My precious artifact, give it to me!
Aha!
[grunts]
[grunting]
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
That's mine!
[chuckles]
[Dexter grunts]
[beeping]
What?
May I see the desert menu, please, miss?
- [squeaking] - [thud]
[snores]
[Dexter laughs]
I'll have that now.
Thank you, you ursine buffoon.
[Jin] No, Dexter.
Think of the Chinese people and their treasure.
Oh, I am.
And how much money I'll have after I loot it and sell it.
[laughs]
[groans]
[chittering]
[groans]
- [Jin groans] - Huh?
Huh?
[groans]
[wolves howling]
Huh?
Oh.
Take care of my friend, okay?
Keep him warm and let him rest.
You got it, King Norm.
[groans]
[chittering]
[Norm] Hey, kids!
I'm sure you were all worried, me being gone all night
after venturing to the mysterious
Misty Mountain Glacier.
[all] Uh... Hmm?
And then the blizzard.
- Um, not really. - [Olympia] Hi, Norm.
- There you are. - Norm.
- So good to see you, my friend. - [laughs]
Where were you? I tried calling and calling.
- Uh, oops. I had it turned off. - [phone chimes]
[phone ringing]
[echoing] Uh, hi, Olympia.
It was a difficult flight. Very blizzardy.
Now, then, I wanna get some establishing shots
for the video.
Where's the space that the wedding will be held?
Space?
Um, no, we're doing it down here.
Oh, are you doing it "al fresco"?
- I'm sorry, Al who? - She means outside, Norm.
Well, yeah.
Pretty much everything around here is outside.
Except for caves.
Uh, but I've seen enough of those to last me a year.
Yes, this whole area will be prefect.
The ceremony here. The band here.
All backlit by the Aurora Borealis. Oh!
[gasps] I just remembered.
While all this planning's going on,
I have to be somewhere else.
I gave my word.
I said I'd deliver an old artifact
for my human friend, Jin, to his grandson in Beijing.
Ooh, I love artifacts. Let's see it.
Well, it kind of got stolen away by this bad human named Dexter.
So, how will you deliver an artifact to Beijing
that you don't have?
Well, that's the tricky part.
First step, find Dexter.
Second, get the artifact back.
Third, get it to Chen, Jin's grandson.
But surely all that can wait until after the wedding.
Nope.
Well, that is gonna make the wedding planning
and shooting of the video rather difficult.
Since we don't speak bear.
[Quinn] But I speak human.
I've got it covered, Pops. I'll take charge.
I mean, I am your oldest and next in line to be king.
I guess, sure. Okay, Quinn, you're in charge.
Way to go, Quinn. My good pal is acting king.
[scoffs]
I'm afraid I won't be doing any high fives
while I'm king, Olympia. And though we are friends,
I must be there first and foremost
for all of my subjects.
- This is not gonna end well. - Uh-uh.
Okay, so how do I find Dexter?
His plane crashed, so the only way out of here is...
- [helicopter whirring] - Huh?
Helicopter. My helicopter!
[laughs]
[pants]
[grunts]
- [sighs] - [chittering]
Huh?
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - Norm, how is it going?
[Norm] Oh, fine.
Just hanging out on Fong's helicopter.
Did you get the artifact back?
It's practically right in my paws.
How's it going there?
Well, Quinn is really taking his job of being in charge
pretty seriously.
[grunting]
I'm supposed to handle some of the food stuff.
Quinn wanted me to ask
what kind of fish you prefer for the main course.
No. No. No. Ow. My butt!
Huh? What is, "Ow-my-butt"?
No, no. I said, um, halibut!
It's my halibut song.
It's a, you know, I sing...
Oh... [imitates static] Bad connection. Sorry.
Uh... [imitates static] Bye.
[dial tone]
Uh-uh.
[sniffs]
[groans] You call these salmon eggs fresh?
And they're not free range either.
- Throw them all out. - [groans]
I knew this would happen. Give him a little power...
[polar bear] You're not the boss of me.
No, I'm not. I'm the boss of everyone.
Oh, he just loves to play
the next-in-line-to-the-throne card.
Listen up, everyone, with Dad away,
I'm calling the shots.
I am next in line to the throne.
- You think? - [groans]
[teeth chattering]
Hey, lemmings, I know the fresh air is great,
but I can't help but feel it would be more comfy
inside the helicopter.
[lemmings chittering]
[door whirs]
[grunts]
[laughs]
Oh, there you are, my precious.
- Dexter here. Yes? - [indistinct radio chatter]
Yes, I've got it and I'll be landing
in Beijing in a few hours.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Just make sure you and the other buyers
have your checkbooks ready.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Going to Beijing, perfect!
That's where Jin's grandson, Chen, lives.
I just have to grab the artifact when the time is right.
Which means this king is gonna take
a royal nap until then.
[sighs] Wake me when we're getting close.
[sighs]
[snoring]
[all] Ah.
[snores]
Hmm?
Blimey!
Altitude must be getting to me.
[chittering]
Hmm.
Aha!
No! No!
[groans]
[grunts]
I bet you pack of snow rats aren't alone, are you?
- [Norm snoring] - [gasps]
[laughs]
Toodleydoo.
[laughs]
[groans]
[laughs]
- Huh? - [door rattles]
[chittering]
[Dexter screams]
Huh? [yawns]
[sniffs] Huh?
Mm.
Don't mind if I do.
[sighs]
Crazy dream I had.
Oh, no.
[grunts]
[screams]
[chittering]
[Dexter screaming]
[groans]
Lemming's piloting, never a good thing.
[screams]
[screaming]
Got to get back on there. How am I gonna do that?
Huh?
[groans]
Oh!
- [phone ringing] - [groans] My head is ringing.
Norm residence, whom shall I say is calling?
Norm, you sound funny.
How's it going?
[Norm] Great, very relaxing trip.
Tell Fong his helicopter is in good hands.
Good, tiny hands.
I thought we discussed this? No phone calls.
You got to obey your king.
You're not my king, Quinn.
And anyhow, you're only acting king.
And kinda acting like a jerk on top of it.
- I am? - [seal barks]
Oh. Nevertheless, I am to be obeyed.
"Nevertheless?"
What kind of bear says words like nevertheless?
[grunts]
[squeals]
[laughs]
What the...
Climb!
[grunts]
[groans]
Whoa!
[grunts]
Whoa! [grunts]
[phone ringing]
King Norm here, at the tone,
please leave your name and number
- and... - [Olympia] Hey!
Norm, it's me again.
Quinn keeps confiscating my phone.
This is so stressful.
Out of the way, lemmings, King Quinn coming through.
[screams]
[splash]
[Quinn groans]
[laughing]
[Olympia] You have no idea how easy you've got it.
Yup, lucky me.
[laughs]
[gasps]
Here's Normy!
Oh, no! [grunts]
Now, where's the artifact?
Somewhere you'll never find it.
[chittering]
[both grunting]
[grunting]
[Norm grunts]
- [crashing] - [Norm and Dexter groaning]
[groans]
You want it, don't you?
Well, let's see how much.
No! You wouldn't dare drop it.
Hmm, you're right.
But I'd sure throw it!
No! [screams]
Or pretend to anyhow. [laughs]
The old lemming dodge ball fake throw.
[screams]
[gasps]
Fooled by a stupid bear. [grunts]
Those sacks would make for a soft landing.
- [wind howls] - Wind.
[Dexter screams]
Any landing's a good landing.
[groans]
[growls]
[laughs]
Next stop, Beijing.
Drop off the artifact to Chen at the university,
then fly home in plenty of time for the Aurora Borealis
and Grandpa's wedding.
Never flew one these kinda copters before.
But how hard can it be? Whoa!
You three, now that you've cleared the area,
I need you to smooth it out for a dance floor.
Flat, but not slippery.
Fong...
Oh, I already know what my job will be.
I will make a sculpture
of the beautiful bride and groom.
You can sculpt?
That is how I earned a living while in business school.
You know the Statue of Liberty?
You sculpted that?
Uh, no, but I could see it from my window
- at business school. - Get Mr. Fong
a block of ice to sculpt.
[sawing]
[seal barks]
Too messy and random.
Make it neat and fancy.
We're not barbarians after all.
[music playing]
Chase, how is the music coming?
Well, thanks to Mr. Fong, we got a whole
human sound system set up.
Check it out. I downloaded some majorly awesome beats.
[music gets louder]
[both] Huh?
- Oh, yeah! You feel me? - [music stops]
[equipment screeches]
- [Quinn] I hate it. - [groaning]
Too undignified.
Hey, you lemmings have been pretty quiet lately.
You just resting and enjoying the flight? [chuckles]
[vomiting]
Now, where can that university be?
Hey.
Excuse me, how do I get to the university?
Study. Lots and lots of study.
Hey, there it is.
No wonder they call it an institution
of higher learning, it's up on a hill.
[laughs] Hey, get it? [laughs]
[stomachs churning]
Nothing, really?
[groaning]
[vomiting]
So, anybody know how to land this thing?
- [chittering] - I'll take that as a no.
Ah, how hard could it be?
[beeping]
We're good, we're good, we're good.
Here we go. I'll just ease this baby down
onto to the... Whoa!
[groans]
Everybody okay?
- [lemmings groaning] - Hmm?
[squeak]
Huh?
[Chen] Now, in our study of archaeology,
we've discussed many treasures,
but this artifact is the most special of all.
[indistinct chatter]
By placing the artifact in its sacred spot,
one can gain access to the treasures
housed within the Mountain of Nine Cauldrons
for thousands of years.
[man] How come no one's ever seen these treasures?
Nobody has seen them in your lifetime or mine,
but that is about to change tonight.
The ancient emperors used the magic of 17 sorcerers,
so that the people would be able to gaze upon its contents
just once every 100 years.
For one day and night, from sunset to sunset,
the mountain reveals the nine tripod cauldrons
and all the other treasures of our ancestors.
[crowd gasping]
And the key to the mountain revealing itself
is this artifact.
[man] So, where is the artifact now then?
Well, it's been on display in a museum in Canada,
but I have every confidence it will be back here
before sunset.
[sighs] I know you'll make it back in time, Grandfather.
I just know it.
- [bell ringing] - Huh?
Uh, class dismissed.
[indistinct chatter]
[Norm] Oh, oh, pardon me.
All right, let's scoot over here.
Pardon me. You all right there?
Oh, journey complete, lemmings.
A king always keeps his word and we've delivered the artifact
safe and... [screams]
[Norm screams]
[groans]
[brays]
As I was saying, safe and sound.
Ah!
Professor Chen, I presume?
No. My... Nobody named Chen.
You must have the wrong classroom.
[woman] Professor Chen, I will see you tomorrow.
Hey, I get it,
you don't get many talking polar bears around here.
But relax, I have something for you.
No, I don't want it. I want nothing from you.
It's not from me, it's from your grandfather, Jin.
My grandfather is nothing but an old fool.
And a thief who steals artifacts.
Now, please, go away.
You got that wrong, your granddad's a good guy,
but I tell you, there's this guy named Dexter,
now, he's the real thief and a lowlife, a terrible guy.
If you ever see him coming your way,
cross the street, do not look back.
- [clears throat] - Anyhow, I gave my word,
so here.
I have forgotten how beautiful it is.
[Dexter] Isn't it, though?
[snarling]
[Dexter laughs]
Allow me to introduce you to Chaos and Mayhem.
- Komodo dragons. - Oh, yeah.
I saw their baby pictures.
They grow up so fast.
[snarling]
[whimpering]
[farts]
[sniffs]
[farting]
[chuckles, gags]
[groans]
Bravo.
Oh, I say, you do know your reptiles.
Then you're well aware that the Komodos
are unabashed carnivores.
Feeding on creatures as small as mice
and as large as deer.
Or even humans, for that matter.
Yeah, well, not polar bears.
No. Well, not yet anyway.
They tend to live too far south to ever have encountered one.
Oh, but Chaos seems rather interested
in sampling a new dish. [laughs]
Mayhem, the artifact.
I was trying to signal you to go away.
Dexter had his weapon on me the whole time.
No wonder you were acting all fidgety.
I thought it was the bear thing.
My Komodos will stay behind and keep you company.
They have their instructions, one move and they attack.
And you don't want that.
[snarling]
Dexter, you and my grandfather were partners.
You respected the world's artifacts.
The treasures of the mountain belong to the people.
And as I told your grandfather, I'm a people.
And they will all be mine.
Komodos... Fassen!
[snarling]
Toodle-ooh. [laughs]
[door opens]
Dexter will head for the mountain and use the artifact
to gain entry and rob it blind.
Well, then we just got to stop him.
How? Those are Komodo dragons and they mean business.
They're deadly.
Yeah, and they eat animals.
Bet they never tasted anything as delicious as lemmings.
They're so tender and tasty.
They're both sweet and sour.
Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside.
Woo! Way to go, lemmings.
[thud]
[automated voice] Log entry, saving and uploading.
[snarling]
- [screaming] - Lemmings!
[screams]
[snarling]
[screaming]
- [lemmings chittering] - [snarling]
[boat engine revving]
[Chen] The river leads right to
the Mountain of the Nine Cauldrons.
Look, I've had no time to ask you,
but my grandfather,
why didn't he return the artifact himself?
Oh, well, uh, that's because
he was a little under the weather.
Because of, uh, a cave-in, uh, mostly,
and being trapped all night in the freezing cave
and then he kind of passed out, so he might be unconscious
or, uh, I don't know, um, in a coma?
What? Will he make it?
Sure he will.
[monkeys chatter]
Ow, what? Oh.
[monkeys howling]
Hey. Ow! Cut it... [grunts]
Hmm, mm, oh. Mm. Oh, tasty.
Huh? Wow!
Woohoo!
[monkeys chatter]
Hey there, little buddy.
Oh, I see you brought your friends.
- [chittering] - [chatting]
Look! Dexter.
I'm Norm.
- No. I mean, look, Dexter. - Oh.
- [helicopter whirs] - Oh.
[chatters]
Oh, I doubt we can beat him to the mountain.
Not at this speed.
[engine revs]
[chittering]
- [screaming] - Look out!
[sighs] I knew something bad must've happened.
He made a sacred vow that he would bring
the artifact back to Beijing,
in time for the 100-year opening
of the Mountain of the Nine Cauldrons.
- He gave his word. - But then he made me
give my word that I'd get the artifact to you
if he couldn't, and I did.
So it's kind of like him keeping his word.
Sure, except that now Dexter has the artifact.
And if it gets to the mountain before we do
- and steals all its treasures... - That won't happen.
When a king, that's me, gives his word, which I did,
- then nothing is gonna stop him. - [fog horn blaring]
Except for maybe that! Look out!
Look out! Look... [screams]
Uncle Stan, you should be rehearsing the wedding song,
not, uh... What are you doing anyway?
[gargling]
Uh, gargling with ice water.
It's good for my instrument.
- Fine. - [seal farts]
The rehearsal starts in 10 minutes.
[gargling]
[Quinn shrieks]
Oh, no!
[groaning]
The only way to access the treasure
is to land at its base and climb to the cavern opening.
Then we can beat him there.
Lemmings, do your thing.
[chittering]
You can't run a boat on land, it has no wheels.
The laws of physics make it impossible.
I'm a king, I don't obey laws, I make them.
[screaming]
[lemmings screaming]
[groaning]
Dexter's not gonna climb up to the cavern,
he's gonna climb down to it.
Climb aboard.
He takes the high road, we take the low road.
Hang on tight.
[Norm grunts]
[laughs]
[grunts, laughs]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[phone ringing]
- [phone beeps] - Norm here.
[Stan vocalizing]
[clears throat]
Norm, I forgot to ask,
do you want iceberg lettuce salad,
or cream of snow soup for your first course?
- [Norm] Either one is fine. - [Stan vocalizing]
[Olympia] Why is your voice so weird?
[Norm] Probably bad signal on your mountain.
Oh, hey, Norm, just FYI,
the Aurora Borealis isn't too many hours away,
and you need to get back,
so I can get some footage of you and the happy couple
just as it begins to rise in the background.
Right, I'll do my best.
[Vera giggles]
Oh, we may have to post this wedding video online.
Something tells me it's gonna be the Arctic Tundra's
social event of the year.
Uh, Mom, it's going to be the Arctic Tundra's
only social event of the year.
[grunts] Even better, uh, signal's breaking up.
- Got to go. - [phone beeps]
[grunts]
[screams]
Again, the laws of physics.
Physics shmysics.
When you're a king, you make the rules.
[grunts]
- [sighs] - [phone ringing]
[Olympia] Norm, it's hideous.
The most horrible thing ever.
- What is? - [Olympia] Your brother Stan's
- singing. - [Stan vocalizing]
If you can call it that.
It's indescribable.
♪ Give me a sign! ♪
[vocalizing]
[Norm] That's Grandpa's favorite song.
I can't believe Stan remembers the tune
and all the lyrics.
Tune?
Lyrics?
Seriously?
[phone beeps]
How many times must I tell you, no phones!
There's still work to do!
Oh, for the love of...
[screams]
[lemmings chittering]
[groans]
[grunts]
Wait, Norm.
I just remembered something my grandfather told me.
This corridor is protected by ancient booby traps.
You sure?
Then how did Dexter...
[screams]
Oh, oh, oh.
Close. [yelps] Too close, too close. Whoa. Oh!
[pants]
Okay, I think you're right about the booby-traps.
Dexter knew how to avoid them.
As would my grandfather.
Uh, maybe Olympia can get him on the phone
- and, uh... Oh, no signal. - [phone beeps]
Uh, uh, but, hey,
a couple of smart guys like us, we can do this.
It says, "Yin or yang, choose wisely."
Huh. I think it means you either step
only on the red stones
- or on the blue stones. - Well, that narrows it down.
Okay, so we've ruled out stepping on the red stones.
Ipso facto, blue means go.
[groans]
No? Okay, no. I don't know, I'm okay.
[lemmings whimper]
[screams]
[whimpering]
[grunts]
[sighs] That was close.
Oh, you know, I think that's it for the booby traps.
[clicking, rumbling]
[screaming]
Okay, so maybe not.
[gasps]
- [metal clanking] - Don't move.
Oh, come on.
Okay, that's it, right? [sighs]
[Dexter] Oh, Chen, bravo!
You and your circus bear, managing to survive the traps.
Circus bear? I'm sure that's an insult,
- but I'm not sure why. - Don't do it, Dexter.
My grandfather told me you were once an honorable
and good man.
[Dexter] Oh, yes. Good and poor.
But then I saw the error of my ways.
These silly antiquities
are worth a fortune to collectors.
So you sold out your partner,
his entire country, and your principles
- for a little money? - No, a lot of money.
The treasures contained in this mountain
are worth a fortune!
[snarling]
[gasps]
[Dexter chuckles]
Of course you remember Chaos and Mayhem.
Hmm, seems that whatever you did to them earlier
has made them eager
- for some payback. - [Chen] Wait, it won't work.
It's not sunset, it's not time yet.
Oh, on the contrary, it's the perfect time.
You see, the mountain is already starting to glow,
and that means it's right for the plucking.
And there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Oh, yeah?
[grunts]
Oh, I should have mentioned,
there's a trap or two that you missed.
[laughs]
[snarling]
[grunts]
[laughs]
No.
Huh?
[murmurs]
[grunts]
What is wrong with this thing?
Maybe it needs new batteries.
[laughs]
Wait. He's right.
They're in ancient Mandarin.
"Herein lie the Nine Cauldrons
and the treasures of the ancient emperors.
Their beauty to be gazed upon,
but once every 100 years."
All right. So open up and show me the beauty.
You didn't read the fine print.
What? This gibberish?
[gasps]
It's the secret language
of the ancient emperors themselves.
I don't know that language.
[Norm] Ooh, sounds like someone
wasn't paying attention in class that day.
[lemmings] Mm-hmm.
"The Nine Cauldrons represent honor,
so to only a person of honor, in both word and deed,
may access the treasure within the mountain."
Your old-time emperors were just like ours.
We always keep our word.
Looks like you're out of luck, Dexter.
Since you have no honor, the mountain has rejected you.
But you, Chen, goody two-shoes,
such a man of honor.
Surely, it will open for you.
[phone ringing]
Yeah, that's my phone.
Uh, sorry, guys. I need to take this.
Uh, hey. Hey. Uh, no.
Uh, I really can't talk, but everything's...
- [gunshot] - Ow.
Sure doesn't sound like everything's okay.
[groans]
- Tick tock, Chen, do it! - [snarling]
No, I won't.
- Good for you, Chen. - You're willing
to give your life to deprive me of the treasure.
- On the other hand... - [snarling]
Okay.
This is weird.
These big black metal pots.
The Nine Cauldrons. [gasps]
- [phone beeps] - [groans] Lost the signal.
The Nine Cauldrons. The mountain is opening.
- [groans] - [growls]
And now all that treasure shall be mine.
- [laughs] - No, it won't.
I made a promise to Chen that that would never happen.
I gave my word! [growls]
Chaos, Mayhem, attack!
[snarling]
[screams] No!
[chittering]
[farting]
[screaming]
[pants] Oh, no. This isn't fair!
I have buyers lined up for these treasures.
I gave them my word.
You respect that, right?
My grandfather told me
you're only as good as your word.
But I guess that also means
your word is only as good as you are.
And you, Dexter, are not very good.
[laughing]
Can't fool the mountain, it was built by emperors.
And it looks like your ancient emperors
are keeping their word.
My grandfather will be very pleased.
My grandfather won't be. Not if I don't get back
to the North in time for his wedding.
I gave my word.
Oh, where is Norm? The wedding needs to start soon.
Not to worry, I'm almost finished.
Okay, everyone?
Take your places.
Chop chop, our guests are arriving.
Come on, this is a happy occasion, a wedding.
- [grumbling] - Why is everyone so down?
[Olympia] Maybe it has something to do with you, Quinn.
- And your bossiness. - Hey.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
And swollen is the head that let's power go to it, hmm?
[laughing]
[Stan singing]
[phone ringing]
[Norm] Yello.
[Olympia] Norm, where are you?
- Flying home. - [Olympia] You are?
Well, I'm in Fong's chopper.
Great, because the Aurora Borealis will be starting soon,
and I can't stand any more of Quinn's bossiness,
or any more of Stan's singing.
[Stan singing]
[speaker screeches]
Of course.
[grunts] I think this helicopter took
a lot more damage than we think.
Look out. Geese. Goose.
Whoa!
[geese honking]
Well, well, the nerve.
Geese have the right-of-way, thank you.
So much for the windshield wipers.
Can't see a thing.
Lemmings, need your help.
Oh, look how much cleaner it is.
It's not clean, it's gone.
Still, you got to admit that it's a lot easier to see.
Those clouds, that mountain...
- Mountain? - [beeping]
[whimpers]
Here we go. Good as new, eh?
You're gonna have to step on the gas.
How fast are we going?
Speedometer is broken, but I'd say pretty fast.
[geese honking]
We're not even flying at goose speed.
- We gotta go faster. - Okay,
but I'm not sure the helicopter can take it.
[phone ringing]
[Olympia] Norm, everybody is getting nervous.
You need to be here.
- Are you okay? - [Olympia] Yes, I'm fine.
Uh, not you, Chen.
- [Olympia] Who's Chen? - I'm, uh...
Vision's a little blurry, but I'm not sure
- if I can still... - Fear not. I'll take over.
[Olympia] That's what I'm saying.
You need to get here and take over.
Uh, okay. I'm on my way.
[screams]
- Okay. No, I got this. - What's going on?
Okay.
Just need to really put on the gas.
[vomiting]
[indistinct chatter]
[clears throat] Punch bowl needs a refill.
Mm-hmm.
Wedding singer, in place.
Maria, Chase, stand over there to greet and see
any late comers.
With pleasure, Your Heinie-ness.
Boy, will I be glad when dad's back
and Quinn's demoted back down to dumb older brother.
- [laughs] - [Quinn] I heard that!
What's wrong?
I think we're running out of gas.
[Norm] Come on. Come on!
[Vera] So, what's the backup plan
if Norm doesn't show up in time?
There is no backup plan.
Norm gave his word, he will be here...
I hope.
Oh, I suppose I could edit the video
to make it look like he was here.
Mom, forget the video, an Aurora Borealis
can last as little as 10 minutes.
The wedding ceremony has to begin,
- like, now. - [helicopter whirring]
[Norm and Chen screaming]
[screaming]
[grunts]
[groans]
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get you two lovebirds hitched.
And by the power vested in me as King of the North,
I, Norm, pronounce you two bear and wife.
Now, plant one on her, Grandpa.
[violins playing]
[cheering]
[woman] Oh, they're such a beautiful couple.

You are truly a great king, and have honored
the great emperor's China with what you have done.
Thank you, and as King, I have something to say
to my subjects.
