Go State Wolves!
Good to be back, isn't it, kids?
You excited?
Yay. More time at the library.
More stories about weird stuff you did in college.
Yeah, no kidding.
The thing with the goldfish?
Ugh! Ugh!
You can skip the library this time.
My buddy Lester invited us back
to see a touring "Rare Animals of the World" exhibit in the quad.
So it's, what, a zoo?
Perfect.
Maybe the rare-animal professor
can explain why you act like a beast all the time.
[ Growls, chomps ]
Ahem. Huh?
It doesn't open till the afternoon,
so I'll go find Lester and get our tickets.
You two have fun
and meet me back here in an hour.
[ Grunts ]
Heh.
I'm open, I'm open!
[ Laughter ]
Think this is it?
[ Crowd screaming ] Man: Get out of my way!
[ Roars ]
Cool!
It's more exciting than I expected.
There's nothing on the flyer
about rare animals attacking people.
[ Screams ]
[ Whimpers ]
Aah!
Huh?! Huh?!
Okay, Bobo, time for some obedience training.
[ Beeping ]
Uh, sure. Upgrade's totally what I wanted.
I can make it work.
[ Roaring ] [ Screaming ]
[ Crowd screaming ]
Uh, make it work, make it work!
[ Humming ] Excuse me!
[ Screams ] Borrow this for a second?
Whoa!
[ Beeping, click! ]
[ Bang! ]
[ All whimpering ] [ Roars ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Slobbers ]
Huh?
Okay, Fuzzy, back in the kennel with you.
[ Tires screech ]
[ Roars ] Whoa!
[ Panting ] Ben!
Ow.
[ Snarling ]
Don't hurt my cousin!
[ Roars ]
Please? [ Drip! ]
[ Growls softly ]
Wait a second.
I-I think there's a person in there.
[ Sighs ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Whines ]
Ben.
[ Groans ]
[ Grunting ]
Ugh.
I got this.
Get up. [ Trash can clangs ]
We've got to follow that thing.
Fine.
[ Panting ] Over there!
♪♪
You sure that thing is human?
'Cause if it is, it needs nail clippers bad.
There!
[ Grunts ]
Together: Lester?!
Jinx!
I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.
I was setting up the exhibit.
Then a strange man taking samples from animals --
putting them in some science doohickey.
I tried to stop him,
but he turned and fired a beam at me. [ Laser blasts ]
I-I turned into an animal.
It was like I forgot who I was.
Until you saved me.
No big deal.
Just a little upgrade and --
Not you. You.
You reminded me of my sister when she was young.
You snapped me out of it.
Thank you very much.
Yeah. Anyways...
You know who this sounds like?
Together: Animo!
Jinx!
All right, kids.
You stay safe out there now.
I'm gonna go find someplace to rest
that isn't a laundry basket.
And, again, thank you, Gwen.
Nice work.
That was great how you fought that creature
and saved everyone.
Oh, wait. That was me.
Can we settle who was more heroic
after we deal with Animo?
Speaking of which...
♪♪
Whoa. Whoa.
DNA converse module?
Rapid-cell-growth-stimulation unit.
[ Warble! ]
Remind me to pay attention in science class next year.
Pay attention to this.
That kid...
Is that Dr. Animo?
I think he was just "Aloysius" when this pic was taken.
Looks like he takes after his dad, science-wise.
Also ugly-wise.
Gah! [ Pop! ]
Obviously, this is Animo's mobile lab.
But where's Animo?
Together: The rare-animal exhibit!
Jinx! Stop doing that!
[ Both panting ]
Hold it. Uh, sorry, kids.
Exhibit's closed.
Some kind of animal on the loose.
Uh, it went that way. Hurry!
It looked so [whispering] horrible!
What?! Oh, no!
That actually worked?
Whoa! Whoa!
[ Animals chittering ]
Okay, this time, if things get crazy,
just stay out of the way
and let me do my alien-hero thing.
Stay out of your way?
You'd be monster chow if it wasn't for me.
I was the one --
[ Both gasp ]
[ Muffled grunting ]
Grandpa Max! [ Man chuckles ]
Ben and Gwen Tennyson.
I hear you met my new specimen.
I thought my version of Lester was quite an improvement.
Didn't you? Let my grandpa go!
Certainly, after I use him to demonstrate my new creation.
For years, I worked on my transmutator ray,
but after I saw your watch in action,
I came up with something new --
the Animerger.
It mixes rare-animal DNA
with the human DNA of my targets,
and brings out the animal inside them. [ Growl ]
You're turning people into monsters?
Animals...under my control.
Perhaps you'd like to see the Animerger in action
on my new test subject.
[ Zap! ] Heatblast!
[ Grunts ]
[ Laser fires ] [ Both grunt ]
You're not adding any animals
to your weirdo zoo today, Animo!
[ Grunts ]
My invention is the future!
[ Laser fires ]
[ Clang! ] My genius will not be stopped
by some child with a fancy wristwatch!
[ Laser firing ]
[ Grunting ]
Whoa! Whoa!
Ugh!
[ Grunts, growls ]
You're not going to like this!
[ Creaking ] More than you know.
[ Splash! ]
Ew!
I do not like them An-I-Am!
Time to take your blaster away.
Too bad. It's this year's hottest toy.
[ Warble, electricity crackling ]
My creation!
No!
Ben? The Animerger thing is --
Melting? That's the idea.
I was gonna say "exploding."
Huh? Whoo!
[ Grunting ]
No, don't let it hit the --

[ Roars ]
Whoa. Look who's a walking zoo.
[ Roars ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Roars ]
Bad kitty! Whoa!
Bad! Whoa!
Bad! Unh!
I hate tentacles!
[ Growls ] [ Flames roaring ]
[ Roars ]
Whoa! [ Grunts ]
I think you're just making the animal inside him stronger!
Yeah? Well, let me know if you've got a better idea!
[ Straining ]
You're not gonna win, kitty boy!
[ Muffled grunting ]
[ Snarling ]
Oh, no! Grandpa!
Ben, we have to lead it away from Grandpa Max!
[ Panting ]
Here creature, creature, creature!
[ Panting ]
Gwen! Nagh!
Huh?!
[ Panting ] [ Roars ]
Whoa! [ Grunts ]
[ Whimpers ]
Hey, ugly, come and get a hot meal.
[ Roars ]
[ Grunts ] Yeah!
Whoop! Augh!
[ Grunting ] I always wondered
what could be worse than a human Animo -- Oomph!
Bad kitty-squiddy-wolfie thing!
[ Grunting ]
[ Roars ]
Human Animo. Uh...
Oh!
Ben, we have to remind Animo he's human,
with something he cares about!
[ Grunting ] Yeah, but what would
a beast like this care about?
Together: The photo! Jinx!
Stop doing that!
Okay, Keep him here. Back in a sec.
[ Panting ]
[ Roars ]
Uh, any time now, Gwen.
Photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo, photo!
[ Gasps ] Photo!
[ Grunting ]
Seriously, any time now!
Ow! Oh!
Now, Ben!
[ Grunts ] Yes!
Now, now! [ Watch beeping ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Zap! ] [ Grunts ]
[ Roars ]
Gah! Look at this!
[ Snarls ]
That kid -- that's you, Dr. Animo.
Come on, I know there's
a slightly less-hideous version of you
inside there somewhere.
[ Whimpers ]
[ Sighs ]
He's human again.
Well, we are talking Dr. Animo, here.
I'd say human-ish, at best.
Apotheosis Animo -- my father --
the finest veterinarian who ever lived.
All my life, I worked to live up to my father's legacy.
The Animerger was my greatest creation.
And you ruined it, Tennyson! Ruined it!
All right, that's enough.
It will never be enough!
I will have my revenge!
[ Screams ]
[ Groans ] Nice work.
Yeah, nothing a couple of aliens couldn't handle.
Ahem!
Oh, yeah.
I guess a cousin with a good brain helps, too.
Well, how about it?
Ready to see those rare animals?
Together: Or we get Lester, go to the library,
and you tell us stories about goldfish?
Jinx!
Stop doing that!
