In a place full of mystery
Where the past comes alive
There's a hero of history
Who is ready to thrive
She is saving our future
By protecting our past
She's a hero Whose moment's arriving at last
Ridley Jones
Daring and bold and courageous
Ridley Jones
Guards the museum with pride
Ridley Jones
Her sense of adventure's contagious
With dinos and dodos And astronaut chimps by her side
Ridley Jones
Wearing her trademark fedora
Ridley Jones
No challenge could get in her way
She won't ever give in to her fear She shines when adventure is near
Swinging into the fray And then saving the day
Ridley Jones
I'm about to be moonstruck!
I gotcha, Dudley!
Time to move it, folks.
By royal decree, I demand that you run!
I may have landed on the moon, but I sure don't want this moon landing on me!
Pedro!
Did I get it? Did I hit the piñata?
You hit the moon!
And it made a meteoric mess!
Dude! I was wondering what all that gnarly noise was.
Nice work out there, Ridley. We saw the whole thing.
Yes, we did.
You almost got smushed back there. You need to be more careful.
I am careful, Mum. I promise.
You're also one stamp closer to getting your Compass Eye.
Passport, please.
No way!
I only have one page left to fill!
You can't be ready for your compass yet.
I haven't seen such a natural protector since, well, you.
Which is why I think it's time for her to see what's in this box.
What is it? Ninja stars? The Holy Grail?
Cheeseburgers?
-A little help here? -Oh, man. Sorry, Dudely.
No ninja stars or cheeseburgers in here.
Just a dodo
and things that belonged to your mum and I when we were young protectors like you.
That pickaxe got me out of lots of sticky situations back in the day.
Can I have it, Mum? Please?
Sure. I guess I don't have much use for it now.
Wait a second. Is this--
My old passport. Wow! I haven't seen that in a long time.
It's just like mine, except…
dustier. Whoa!
Look at all these stamps.
You must have gone on a lot of awesome adventures, huh?
Totally!
-Of course! -That we did.
Is that you?
Yep, I was your age in that photo.
Your mother was the greatest protector this museum has ever seen.
She was fearless!
Are you sure we're talking about the same Mum?
-'Cause she's afraid of me getting hurt. -Yeah, I heard that.
She was a very brave little archaeologist.
Even had this cute little thing she'd say during adventures.
Time to rock it up a notch!
That was a long time ago.
I don't recognize that stamp. What'd you get it for?
Let's see.
For fixing a rare artifact.
Now, that was a dangerous adventure.
We were exploring the ancient Aztec ruins.
The stamp! It disappeared!
What?
-The compass! -Dude!
What happened?
I've never seen a Compass Eye disappear before.
How do we get it back?
Something must've happened in the Aztec exhibit.
-I'll go check it out. -A mother-daughter museum mission?
Oh, this is gonna be the most awesome night ever!
I'm sorry, Ridley, this is a solo Mum mission.
It's too dangerous.
What? Come on, I can handle a bit of danger.
My middle name's practically danger!
I always thought it was Sarah.
Ridley is only a couple of steps away from getting her own compass.
Okay. But you need to be really careful and do everything I say.
Yes! Thanks, Mum! I won't let you down.
Well, how do I look?
Like the most adventurous mum ever!
But I think you're missing something.
I've never been down here before. What is this place?
It's where we keep all the old exhibits
that are no longer safe enough to be upstairs.
Yeah, like the black hole exhibit.
That'll suck you right out to space.
Cool!
I lost way too many bananas to that thing.
I'll never forget you, my banana comrades.
-Whoa! -Sweet biscuits and gravy!
-That's a moon-sized crater, all right! -The ruins are old and fragile.
A hit like that could've damaged a lot of things in there,
including the artifact I fixed.
That's why your stamp must've disappeared.
Which means I need to fix the artifact again.
Come on, everyone. Stay close.
Your mummy has some royally awesome adventure skills.
Wait till you see.
-My mum? No way. -Snakes!
Why'd it have to be snakes?
They got me.
Let go of me!
Save yourselves!
I gotcha, Dudely.
Thanks. And let's not mention this ever again,
especially to the eagles. I have a reputation to uphold.
I swear on my scales.
Now, those definitely aren't vines! They're--
Tiny pterodactyls?
Come here, you cuties.
Wait, these aren't pterodactyls. They're bats!
-Everyone stay calm. I can work this out. -Don't move, I've got this.
Fly away, you scaredy-cats!
-That was awesome! -Thanks, sweetie.
Guess I've still got it, huh? Come on, we're almost there.
Is the artifact through the door?
And behind a dangerous booby-trap.
Getting past it is going to be difficult.
That booby-trap's got nothing on us Jones girls!
Ridley!
-Watch out! -Oh no!
Nobody move!
-I've gotta go it alone. -But I can help.
No, Ridley. This is way more dangerous than what you're used to.
Why doesn't she believe I'm ready for adventures like this?
-I can do anything she can do. -Love the confidence!
But I don't think I've ever seen you do that.
-Whoa! -Those are some seriously bisonic moves!
I gotta step up my game.
Those are harder than they look. And so is this wall.
Take cover!
Mum!
I can't just stay here while Mum is alone. I gotta help her.
Falling rocks! And more falling rocks.
Mum!
-Ridley! -I got you!
Whoa! That was so epic! The ceiling was like… Then, we were like, whoa!
And the rocks were like boom!
You promised you'd do everything I said, but you didn't.
You could've been hurt.
I'm sorry. I just wanted to help you. And I did. See?
We made it safely to the…
The door to the artifact room. It's completely covered.
This isn't good.
-What are we gonna do? -I don't know. I need to think.
Wait, look. There's a hole in the rocks. I think I can fit.
I can crawl through and fix the artifact.
No way. The booby-trap in there is way too dangerous.
I'm ready for dangerous adventures, Mum.
I know I am. Why don't you believe me?
Ridley.
Although I have an obligation
Protect these treasures, great and small
Beyond the tests and exploration
There lies an even greater call
My finest feat Is my crusade as Ridley's mother
That much, my dear, is always true
I have a task More meaningful than any other
My greatest quest is you
I see you off on each new endeavour
And I'm scared to the bone
Though I know you're so brave and clever
Still, I'm stunned By how strong you've grown
I watch you run Through pyramids and ancient rubble
Ridley, it's hard for me to do
But I've got to trust You'll overcome all sorts of trouble
My greatest quest is you
I'm sorry, Ridley, I've faced a lot of scary stuff over the years,
but none of that is as scary as seeing you in danger.
But--
But I know you're ready.
Wait, really?
Really. So, what do you say?
-You ready to rock it up a notch? -You know it. Thank you, Mum!
That's gotta be the artifact.
Whoa!
That's some booby-trap.
Okay, just got to do what Mum would do.
Yes!
Time to rock it up a notch.
That was a close one. And I'm up really high.
But I know I can do this. Mum believes in me.
Thank goodness you're okay!
Okay? I'm more than okay, I'm great! No, awesome!
-And the artifact? -Good as new.
You did it! I am so proud of you!
We did it, Mum.
Here. I don't think you're ready to give this up just yet.
Looks like it was a successful mission. You know what that means.
Passports, please.
Oh, right.
I think this is my favourite stamp ever.
Me too.
Your compass, Mum.
Tubular!
All right!
You know, I think you're just about ready for one of these.
Only because I learned from the best protector ever.
And the best mum ever.
Say cheese-asaurus!
Cheese-asaurus!
This way!
Karen, wait up!
This game's called Follow the Leader, not Get Left in the Dust.
Now, do a bison stomp.
Now, shake your tails and do a spin.
My turn! Gotta do as much Follow the Leader practice as I can.
Why?
Because I'm gonna lead the entire bison herd one day.
-You? -Lead the herd?
Yup. I can't wait to take you all stampeding across the plains,
running toward the horizon.
It's my destiny.
I doubt it!
What's so funny?
No one as small and--
-What's the word I'm looking for, Chad? -Adorable.
That's it! No one as small and adorable
as you could ever lead a bison herd.
You should find a new destiny. One that's more your size.
Come on, Chad.
Lead the herd?
Do I really not have what it takes to lead the herd?
I always thought I was a bison who was born to lead
That I was meant to run out front And head the whole stampede
My wildest dream was that the team Was hanging on my every word
I wanna lead the herd
I always thought I knew exactly what my purpose was
That I had what it takes To do the things a leader does
All of the hustle and the muscle
No, I wouldn't be deterred
I wanna lead the herd
I always thought That I was brave and strong
I've been so sure of that My whole life long
What if I was wrong?
What is the use in introducing dreams If they just get deferred?
Will I ever lead the herd?
Fred, this is a code red museum mayday. Peabody's coming!
Hi, Mum. Hi, Mr. Peabody. Is that a butterfly on your head?
Indeed, it is, Miss Jones. This is me getting into the spirit of things.
Today is the one day of the year
where the flowers in the pollination exhibit bloom.
Guests come from all over, so I'll make a fortune
selling all this flower and butterfly merchandise.
I mean, I'm going to make many children happy.
It really is a beautiful sight!
The butterflies must love it in there,
or they would if they were real, that is.
Good thing they're not, because I need you to move them into the exhibit.
-Now. Step to it, Joneses. -Okay.
I better check on the exhibit and make sure the flowers have sunlight.
Why don't you go see the butterflies off?
Sure thing, Mum.
One kaleidoscope of butterflies coming right up.
-Hey, guys. -'Sup, dudette?
Hi.
You okay, Fred?
You seem lower than the gravity on Mars.
Am I too small and adorable to lead the herd?
Of course not.
Take it from a queen, rulers come in all shapes and sizes.
The other bison don't seem to think so.
I know what'll cheer you up.
The butterflies are about to take their flight
to the exhibit. Wanna see them off?
Stega-dacious idea!
What do you say, Fred?
Let's go see some butterflies.
All right, butterflies, time for your big trip.
Yeah!
And you're off.
-See you at the flowers! -Fly like the wind!
Hey, what's this? It won't budge. It's blocking our way!
The merch booth? There's no way around this thing.
You'll have to go another way.
-But we don't know another way. -We'll get lost.
-Sounds like you need a tour guide. -Or a leader.
And I know just the one. Fred.
I don't know. I'm not sure I've got the hide or the horns to lead this herd.
Or any herd.
You won't have to do it alone. We'll help you, Fred.
Okay. I'll do it.
Peaches, can you go to security and get the status of the flowers?
We have to get there before they bloom.
Mission accepted! I'll get my peepers on the petals.
Hi, everyone.
So, I've never been a butterfly herd leader before.
-That's okay. -We've never had a leader before.
So this'll be something new for everyone.
All you have to do is follow me to the exhibit.
-Think you can do that? -I hope so.
We'll try!
Pipin' hot monkey bread, Ridley.
The first flower's already starting to bloom
which means the museum will open any minute.
Thanks. Ready, Fred?
I guess so.
All right, little flappers, let's move out.
-Little flappers! -That means us.
Now we'll just take this hallway over here. Got that?
Nope, they don't got that.
The colours.
Hey, we don't have time for this.
I'm doing art!
We need to get these butterflies movin'.
-What if-- -I know how!
These butterflies have an eye for colour.
I love when fashion is the answer!
Cool! Wings!
I already have a pair, but these are much more glittery!
The butterflies see butterfly wings.
Maybe it'll be easier for them to follow me.
I mean, you. Everyone, strut after me.
Pretty!
I want wings too!
You already have wings.
So beautiful!
We got them to stop painting, but they're still distracted.
Some leader I am.
Don't give up. We'll get these butterflies back in the air.
Let me speak to them, winged creature to winged creature.
Hey, butterflies! I need you to line up for me.
Line up? Like, why?
So they can fly in formation.
That's what I would do if I could actually fly.
You go here, and you over here, and--
Hey, wings off your brother's antenna.
And there.
I don't know, Dudley.
They've have a hard enough time going in the same direction.
Flying in formation is kind of advanced. Don't you think?
Nah. This couldn't be simpler.
Okay, butterflies, let's get some lift. Higher.
Go thataway, butterflies. No, the other thataway.
This thataway!
-Which way? -I'm so confused!
Okay, I can see how this might be confusing.
Hello there, little butterflies.
Hi!
Oh, your wings!
They're tickling me!
Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
Well, they finally leave the rotunda and end up in the tundra exhibit?
We've got to get them out before Mr. Peabody…
Joneses?
…notices that they're gone. Quick, everyone, freeze.
I've just been to the exhibit. There isn't one butterfly there!
I'm working on it, Mr. P.
Well, work on it a little faster.
Flowers are blooming, and if the guests miss it,
it'll only be you and your mother to blame.
How hard can it be to move a few butterflies?
Harder than you'd think, actually.
Okay, since we're in a royal time crunch, I'll lead the butterfly rescue.
I have an idea too, but we're gonna need a lot of skateboards.
The tundra's not a safe place,
especially for a bunch of helpless butterflies.
But to save them, we need a good leader. Know any?
-I used to think that I was one. -You still are.
Stop letting everyone tell you how to be a leader and just be Fred.
So, be small and adorable?
And brave and smart and fierce.
All the things that make you you.
Being myself. I haven't tried that yet.
I'll give it a shot.
Listen up, everyone!
I wanna thank you for all your ideas on how to herd the butterflies,
but we just need one of us in charge.
And I'm steppin' up to do it.
That's the take-charge Fred I know.
The wind's picking up.
My bison sense says a storm's a-brewin'. We need to find those butterflies fast!
Stampede after me!
-There they are! -Fred!
We're saved!
Not yet, little flappers. I need you to listen up.
A storm's about to hit, but we can outrun it.
You only have to do one thing. Keep your eyes on me.
-We can do one thing. -It's true.
Now, let's move out!
Here we go!
Fred, wait! Come back!
Come on, little butterflies!
We're almost there.
Whoa! Check it out!
Fred's herding those butterflies like a boss!
-Hooray! -Go, Fred!
Thanks, everyone. Next stop, the pollination exhibit!
Well, try as I might, I can't find a single thing to complain about.
Thanks. The little flappers, I mean, the butterflies,
look beautiful with the flowers.
Check out that crowd.
Maybe I should go sell some merch to the guests in line!
Nice job today, Ridley. I've got a little surprise for you. Come on.
For helping to get the butterflies to the exhibit,
you've earned a stamp.
You really stepped up today when the butterflies needed you most.
But only 'cause you helped me see that to be a great leader,
I just needed to be me.
So, what's your next move,
future herd leader?
I've always known There was a leader deep inside of me
I'll be myself 'Cause that's the only thing I need to be
Watch me succeeding as I'm leading With my dreams all newly stirred
Yes, I'm gonna lead the herd!
