Trivia
- This film is very similiar to the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz.
- This is the second Bubble Guppies feature-length film.
- This is the third time to have three Bubble Guppies characters to cry over something, that being Gil, Goby and Nonny. These parts are similiar when Dorothy was crying about Miss Gulch taking Toto away, when the Guard tells her and her friends that the Wizard said "Go away!", when she was locked up in the Witch's castle and when she said goodbye to her friends, when the Cowardly Lion started crying after Dorothy smacked him on the nose and when he started crying when he was too shy to see the Wizard, when the Tin Man started crying about Dorothy sleeping in the poppy field, when he cried about Dorothy being locked up in the tower and when he cried about Dorothy saying goodbye to him before going home.
- This is the first time Deema has played a villain and she sounds like it.
- This is the second time Gil gathered up everyone in a sketch and everyone said "It's time for Bubble Guppies!" instead of either Molly or Gil.
- This is the first time two guppies get to change their hairstyle and have it dyed - those being Gil and Nonny.
Story
Cornfield -
(Gil and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road, then they stop.)
Gil: Follow the Yellow Brick Road? Now which way do we go?
Scarecrow (Molly): Pardon me! That way is a very nice way.
(A Scarecrow (Molly) points to right.)
Gil: Who said that?
Bubble Puppy: Arf arf arf!
(Bubble Puppy barks at Molly.)
Gil: Don't be silly, boy. Scarecrows don't talk.
Molly: It's pleasant down that way too.
(Molly points to left.)
Gil: That's funny. Wasn't she pointing the other way?
Molly: Of course, people do go both ways.
(Molly points to left and right.)
Gil: Why, you did say something, didn't you?
(Gil and Bubble Puppy swim to Molly in the cornfield. Molly shakes her head then nods her head.)
Gil: Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you make up your mind?
Molly: That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain. Only straw.
Gil: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Molly: I don't know. But some people without brains do a lot of talking, don't they?
Gil: Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, we haven't really met properly, have we?
(Gil swims over the fence.)
Molly: Why, no.
Gil: How do you do?
Molly: How do you do?
Gil: Very well, thank you.
Molly: Oh, I'm not feeling at all well. It's very tedious being stuck up here all day long with a pole up your back.
Gil: Oh, dear. That must be terribly uncomfortable. Can't you get down?
Molly: Down? No, you see, I'm - Well, I'm -
Gil: Oh, well, here. Let me help you.
Molly: Oh, that's very kind of you. Very kind.
(Gil tries to get Molly down from the pole.)
Gil: Oh, dear. I don't see...
Molly: Of course, I'm not bright about doing things but if you'll just bend the nail down, maybe I'll slip off and -
Gil: Oh, yeah.
(Molly slips off and falls on the ground. Some straw falls out of Molly. She puts it back it in.)
Molly: Whoops! There goes some of me again!
Gil: Does it hurt you?
Molly: Oh, no. I just keep picking it up and putting it back in again. My! It's good to be free!
(Molly falls over again. Gil screams.)
Molly: Did I scare you?
Gil: No, no. I just thought you hurt yourself.
Molly: But I didn't scare you?
Gil: No, of course not.
Molly: I didn't think so.
(A crow crackles and lands on the fence.)
Molly: Shoo! Go away! Shoo!
(The crow crackles and flies away.)
Molly: You see? I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around just to eat in my field and laugh in my face. Oh, I'm a failure, because I haven't got a brain!
Gil: Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?
Molly: Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could - *sings* I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers. Consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'. If I only had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le. In trouble or in pain.
Gil: *sings* With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln. If you only had a brain.
Molly: *sings* Oh, I could tell you why. The ocean's near the shore. I could think of things I never thunk before. And then I'd sit, and think some more. I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'. My heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry. If I only had a brain.
(Molly falls over. A pile of hay comes out.)
Molly: Whoa!
(Gil puts the hay back in Molly.)
Gil: Wonderful! Why if our scarecrow back in the Bubbletucky Farm could do that, the crows would be scared to pieces!
Molly: They would?
(Gil nods his head.)
Molly: Where's Bubbletucky?
Gil: That's where I live. I wanna get back there so badly, I'm going to Emerald Palace to get the Wizard of the Magical Kingdom to help me.
Molly: You're going to see a wizard?
Gil: Mm-hmm.
Molly: Do you think If I went, this wizard would give me some brains.
Gil: I couldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off than you are now.
Molly: Yeah, that's true.
Gil: But maybe you better not. I've got a witch mad at me, and you might get into trouble.
Molly: Witch? I'm not afraid of a witch! I'm not afraid of anything! Except a lighted match.
Gil: I don't blame you for that.
Molly: But I'd face a whole box of them for the chance of getting some brains. Look, I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat a thing. And I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?
Gil: Why, of course I will!
(Molly jumps for joy.)
Molly: Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard!
Gil: You're not starting out very well.
Molly: Oh, I'll try! Really, I will.
Gil: To the Magical Kingdom?
Molly: To the Magical Kingdom!
Molly and Gil: *singing* We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom. We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! There was. If ever oh ever a Wiz! There was. The Wizard of the Magical Kingdom is one because, because, because, because, because, because. Because of the wonderful things he does. We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom!
(Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road.)
Apple Orchard -
(Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road. While they were looking around, Deema peeps at them behind an apple tree and then disappears.)
Gil: Oh. Apples! Oh, look! Oh!
(Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy look around and see some apples on the trees. Gil grabs an apple but the apple tree moved. It snatched the apple and smacked Gil's hand.)
Gil: Ouch!
Apple Tree: What do you think you're doing?
Gil: We've been walking a long ways and I was hungry and - Did you say something?
Apple Tree: He was hungry!
Another Apple Tree: He was hungry!
Apple Tree: How would you like to have someone come along and pick something off of you?
Gil: Oh, dear! I keep forgetting I'm not in Bubbletucky!
Molly: Come along, Gil. You don't want any of those apples. Hmm.
Apple Tree: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Molly: Oh, no! It's just that he doesn't like little green worms.
Apple Tree: Oh, you!
(The Apple Trees start to get angry and start to attack Molly and Gil. Gil screams and they both swim away.)
Molly: *whispers to Gil* I'll show you how to get apples.
(Molly pulls a funny face at the Apple Tree. The Apple Tree throws an apple at Molly and she falls over.)
Gil: Oh! Oh!
(The Apple Tree throws apples at Molly and Gil but it misses them.)
Molly: Hooray! I guess that did it. Help yourself.
(Molly and Gil start to eat the apples. While Molly picks up more apples, Gil and Bubble Puppy swim to get another apple. Gil finds a purple metal tin tail. He taps it. He looks up and finds a metal jacket. He looks up and sees a Tin Man (Goby).)
Gil: Why, it's a man! A man made out of tin! Yeah!
(Molly swims to Gil to have a look at Goby.)
Gil: Look!
(Molly and Gil start to tap Goby.)
Tin Man (Goby): *squeals*
Gil: Did you say something?
Goby: *squeals*
Gil: He said "oilcan."
Molly: Oilcan what?
Gil: Oilcan?
(Gil finds an oil can on a log. He grabs it.)
Gil: Oh, here it is. Where do you want to be oiled first?
Goby: *squeals*
Molly: He said his mouth.
(Gil gives Molly the oil can and she oils Goby's mouth in the right side.)
Molly: The other side.
(Molly gives Gil the oil can and Gil oils Goby's mouth in the left side. Goby's jaw starts to squeak.)
Goby: Mm... mm... mm... My goodness! I can talk again! Oh! Oil my arms, please. Oil my elbows.
(Molly and Gil oil Goby's arms and elbows.)
Gil: Here.
Goby: *moans*
(Gil grabs Goby's arm down.)
Gil: Did that hurt?
Goby: No, it feels wonderful. I've held that axe up for ages.
Gil: Goodness! How did you ever get like this?
Goby: Well, about a year ago... I was chopping that tree... when suddenly it began to rain. And right in the middle of a chop, I rusted solid. And I've been that way ever since.
Gil: Well, you're perfect now.
Goby: My neck. My neck.
(Molly oils Goby's neck.)
Goby: Perfect? Bang on my chest if you think I'm perfect. Go ahead, bang on it!
(Gil bangs Goby's chest. The knocking echoes.)
Molly: Beautiful! What an echo!
Goby: It's empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart.
Molly and Gil: No heart?
Goby: No heart. All hollow.
(Goby falls backwards.)
Goby: *sings* When a guppy's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle, and yet I'm torn apart. Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-guppy. If I only had a heart. I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental. Regarding Love and Art. I'd be friends with the sparrows ... and the boys who shoots the arrows. If I only had a heart. Picture me - a balcony. Above a voice sings low.
Woman's Voice: *singing* Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Goby: *singing* I hear a beat.... How sweet. Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion, and really feel the part. I could stay young and chipper and I'd lock it with a zipper. If I only had a heart.
(Goby swims then stops. His tail squeaks. Gil oils his tail. Goby then swims again and his fin squeaks. Molly oils his fin. Goby swims on the Yellow Brick Road and dances. He bangs on his tail and chest everywhere and then he whistles. Bubble Puppy swims to him. Molly and Gil watch Goby then they whisper in their ears. Goby balances and nearly falls plenty of times. Molly and Gil stop him. Then, Goby starts to swim backwards and falls over backwards.)
Gil: Are you all right?
Goby: I'm a little rusty yet.
Gil: Oh, dear! That was wonderful! You know, we were wondering why you couldn't come with us to the Emerald Palace to ask the Wizard of the Magical Kingdom for a heart.
Goby: Suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there.
Gil: Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.
(Molly, Gil, Goby and Bubble Puppy hear cackling. Deema appears on a little cottage roof.)
Deema: *cackles* You call that long? Why, you've just begun! Helping the little man along, are you, my fine lady and gentleman? Well, stay away from him or I'll stuff a mattress with you!
(Deema points to Goby.)
Deema: And you! I'll use you for a beehive! Here, scarecrow. Wanna play ball?
(Deema magics up a fireball. The fireball nearly lands on Molly.)
Deema: *cackles*
(Gil and Bubble Puppy quickly stand back. Molly quickly swims away and Goby puts the fire out with his hat.)
Molly: *screams* Fire! I'm burning! I'm burning!
(Deema cackles and disappears in a puff of smoke.)
Molly: I'm not afraid of her. I'll see you get safely to the Wizard, whether I get a brain or not! Stuff a matress with me!
(Molly scoffs and shakes her fist.)
Goby: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive! Bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
(Goby accidently hits his hat.)
Gil: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I've known you all the time. But I couldn't have, could I?
Molly: I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
Goby: And I was standing over there rusting for the longest time.
Gil: Still, I wish I could remember. But I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
Molly: That's right.
Goby: We do.
(Molly, Gil and Goby laugh.)
Molly: To the Magical Kingdom?
Goby: To the Magical Kingdom!
Molly, Gil and Goby: *singing* We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom. We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! There was. If ever oh ever a Wiz! There was. The Wizard of the Magical Kingdom is one because, because, because, because, because, because. Because of the wonderful things he does. We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom!
(Molly, Gil, Goby and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road.)
Dark and Eere Forest -
(Molly, Gil, Goby and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road. Birds squawk. Animals gibber.)
Gil: I don't like this forest. It's dark and creepy.
Molly: Of course, I don't know, but I think it'll get darker before it gets lighter.
Gil: Do... Do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?
Goby: We might.
Molly: Animals that eat straw?
Goby: Some, but mostly lions and tigers and bears.
Gil: Lions!
Molly: And tigers?
Goby: And bears!
Gil: Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!
(Molly, Gil, Goby and Bubble Puppy swim along the forest, then they start to swim faster.)
Molly, Gil and Goby: Lions and tigers and bears!
Gil: Oh, my!
Molly, Gil and Goby: Lions and tigers and bears!
Gil: Oh, my!
Molly, Gil and Goby: Lions and tigers and bears!
Gil: Oh, my!
Molly, Gil and Goby: Lions and tigers and bears!
Gil: Oh, my!
(Molly, Gil, Goby and Bubble Puppy stopped swimming and heard a lion roaring.)
Molly, Gil and Goby: Oh!
(Molly, Gil and Goby saw a lion (Nonny). He pounces up to them and Molly and Goby fall over. Gil swam and hid behind a tree. Bubble Puppy swam and hid behind the bushes.)
Cowardly Lion (Nonny): *growling* Put 'em up! Put 'em up!
(Nonny puts his fists up. Molly and Goby tremble in fear.)
Nonny: Which one of you first? I'll fight you both together, if you want. I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I'll fight you standing on one tail! I'll fight you with my eyes closed.
(Nonny swims to Goby.)
Nonny: Oh, pulling an axe on me, eh?
(Nonny swims to Molly.)
Nonny: Sneaking up on me, eh? Why...
Goby: Here, here. Go away and let us alone.
Nonny: Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh? How long can you stay fresh in that can? *laughs* Come on, get up and fight, you shivering junkyard. Put your hands up, you lopsided bag of hay!
Molly: That's getting personal, Lion.
Goby: Yeah, get up and teach him a lesson.
Molly: What's wrong with you teaching him?
Goby: Well, I hardly know him.
Bubble Puppy: Arf arf! Arf arf!
Nonny: Well, I'll get you anyway, peewee.
(Nonny chases Bubble Puppy.)
Nonny: *growling*
Bubble Puppy: *whimpering*
(Gil swims to Bubble Puppy and they swim out from behind the tree. Nonny chases Gil and Bubble Puppy and Gil slaps him on the nose.)
Gil: Shame on you!
Nonny: *sobbing* What did you do that for? I didn't bite him.
Gil: No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw girl, but picking on poor little puppies.
Nonny: Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did you? Is my nose bleeding?
Gil: Well, of course not.
(Nonny wipes his tears with his tail.)
Gil: My goodness, what a fuss you're making! Well, naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. You're nothing but a great big coward!
Nonny: You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself! Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Goby: Why don't you try counting sheep?
Nonny: That doesn't do any good. I'm afraid of them.
Molly: Oh, that's too bad. Don't you think the Wizard could help him too?
Gil: I don't see why not. Come along with us. We're on our way to see the Wizard. To get him a heart.
Goby: And her a brain.
Gil: He could give you some courage.
Nonny: Wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I would.
Gil: No, of course not.
Nonny: Gee, that's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable.
Gil: Oh.
(Gil gets a pair of tissues from his backpack and wipes Nonny's tears.)
Gil: Well, it's all right now. The Wizard'll fix everything.
Nonny: It's been in me so long. I just gotta tell you how I feel.
Gil: Well, come on!
Nonny: *singing* Yeah, it's sad. Believe me, young sir, when you're born to be a sissy without the vim and verve. But I could show my prowess be a lion not a mouse if I only had the nerve. I'm afraid there's no denying I'm just a dandelion, a fate I don't deserve. I'd be brave as a blizzard.
Goby: *singing* I'd be gentle as a lizard.
Molly: *singing* I'd be clever as a gizzard.
Gil: *singing* If the wizard is a wizard who will serve.
Molly: *singing* Then I'm sure to get a brain.
Goby: *singing* A heart.
Gil: *singing* A home.
Nonny: *singing* The nerve.
Molly, Gil, Goby and Nonny: *singing* Oh. We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom. We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! There was. If ever oh ever a Wiz! There was. The Wizard of the Magical Kingdom is one because, because, because, because, because, because. Because of the wonderful things he does. We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of the Magical Kingdom!
(Molly, Gil, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim along the Yellow Brick Road.)
The Witch's Castle -
(Deema watches Molly, Gil, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy in the crystal ball.)
Deema: *cackles* So you won't take warning, eh? All the worse for you, then. I'll take care of you now instead of later!
(Deema swims to a potion making cauldron and scoops in a bottle of it.)
Deema: When I gain those purple slippers, my power will be the greatest in the Magical Kingdom!
(Deema swims to the crystal ball which is now faded away.)
Deema: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think.
(Deema mixes the poison.)
Deema: Something with poison in it. But attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell! Poppies. Poppies! Poppies will put them to sleep.
(The crystal ball shows a beautiful poppy field.)
Poppy Field -
Deema's Voice: Sleep. Now they'll sleep.
(The field is full of lots of beautiful red poppies. Molly, Gil, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim out of the forest. They see the Emerald Palace.)
Gil: There's Emerald Palace! Oh, we're almost there! At last! At last! It's beautiful, isn't it? Just like I knew it would be. He really must be a wonderful wizard to live in a palace like that.
Nonny: Come on, what are we waiting for?
Molly: Nothing! Let's hurry!
Gil: Yeah, let's run!
(Molly, Gil, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy run across the poppy field.)
Molly: Come on! Come on!
Goby: Hurry! Hurry!
(They start to get closer to the Emerald Palace as they're still in the poppy field.)
Molly: Oh, look!
Goby: Come on! Come on!
Molly: Look at the scenery. It's wonderful!
Goby: Emerald Palace!
(Gil starts to run slowly.)
Gil: *panting* Oh. What's happening? What is it? I can't run anymore. I'm so sleepy.
Molly: Give us your hands and we'll pull you.
Gil: Oh, no, please. I have to rest for just a minute. Bubble Puppy. Where's Bubble Puppy?
(Bubble Puppy is sleeping in the poppies.)
Molly: You can't rest now. We're nearly there.
(Gil lies down in the poppies and sleeps.)
Goby: *cries*
Molly: Don't cry. You'll rust yourself again!
Nonny: Coming to think of it, fourty winks wouldn't be bad.
(Nonny starts to fall but Molly and Goby hold him back trying to stop him.)
Molly: Don't you start it too!
Goby: No! We ought to carry Gil.
Molly: I don't think I could, but we could try.
Goby: Let's.
Molly: Yeah.
(Nonny falls backwards in the poppies and sleeps.)
Goby: Now look at him. This is terrible!
Molly: Here, Tin Man, help me.
(Molly and Goby tried to carry Gil but it's no good.)
Molly: Oh, this is terrible! I can't budge him an inch! This is a spell, this is!
Goby: It's the Wicked Witch! What'll we do? Help! Help!
Molly: It's no use screaming at a time like this. Nobody will hear you. Help! Help! Help!
Molly and Goby: Help!
(While Molly and Goby scream for help, Oona hears them. She waves her wand and it starts to snow.)
Molly: It's snowing!
Goby: No, it isn't.
Molly: Yeah, it is! Maybe that'll help! Oh, but it couldn't help!
(Gil starts to move a little bit.)
Molly: It does help! Gilly, you're waking up!
(Gil, Nonny and Bubble Puppy start to wake up.)
Bubble Puppy: *yawns*
Gil: Oh. Oh.
Nonny: *yawns* Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?
(Molly, Gil and Nonny laugh.)
Gil: Look! He's rusted again.
(Goby is rusted.)
Gil: Oh, give me the oilcan, quick!
(Molly gives Gil the oilcan.)
Molly: Here.
(Gil oils Goby everywhere.)
Molly: He is rusted.
Gil: Here.
Molly: Here.
Gil: Quick! Oh! Oh!
The Witch's Castle -
(Deema watches Molly oiling Goby and Gil wiping Goby's tears and Nonny watching them in the crystal ball.)
Deema: Curses! Curses! Somebody always helps that boy.
Leader Flying Crab: *gibbering*
(The image fades away in the crystal ball.)
Deema: But shoes or no shoes, I'm still great enough to conquer him. And woe to those who try to stop me!
Poppy Field -
Gil: Let's get out of here. Look! Emerald Palace is closer and prettier than ever!
Women's Voices: *singing* You're out of the woods. You're out of the dark. You're out of the night. Step into the sun. Step into the light. Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place. On the face of the earth or the sky. Hold onto your breath. Hold onto your heart. Hold onto your hope. March up to the gate and bid it open.
(While the voices are singing, Molly, Gil, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy skip out of the poppies and skip along the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald Palace.)
The Witch's Castle -
(Deema gets her broomstick ready.)
Deema: *cackles* To the Emerald Palace, as fast as lightning!
(Deema goes on her broomstick and flies out of the balcony and into the sky.)
Deema: *screams and cackles*
(Deema flies in the sky to the Emerald Palace.)
