00:00Wow! I did it!
00:06Something is definitely wrong.
00:09In a few minutes, it'll be all mine!
00:13Mine!
00:14I'm going to put an end to your meddling for good!
00:21This is the Evergreen Forest.
00:24Quiet, peaceful, serene.
00:27That is, until Burt Raccoon wakes up.
00:44Luckily, he has some good friends to help him out.
00:47Life would be simple in the forest, except for...
00:58Cyril Sneer.
01:03And his life would be simple, except for...
01:06The Raccoons.
01:08In the darkest hours of an Evergreen Forest evening,
01:28Cyril Sneer is dealing in ideas darker than the night itself.
01:32So then, we have a deal, Mr. Dox.
01:36Why, certainly, Mr. Sneer.
01:41Excellent!
01:42But, uh, there are two as yet undiscussed conditions.
01:47And they are?
01:49Payment by noon on the 13th.
01:52No problem!
01:53Um, the second is, I want it entirely in gold.
02:02Gold?
02:03But I have all kinds of cash, stocks, works of art.
02:08No gold, no deal.
02:10You'll get your gold.
02:12But I want those ink and paper deliveries to stop immediately.
02:16I can see that deliveries dwindle.
02:21Good!
02:22Good!
02:23But, until I see all that gold by exactly noon on Friday,
02:29I'll do as I please, Mr. Sneer.
02:35It's as good as sealed, Mr. Dox.
02:38By Friday at noon, I'll own every single company
02:44that has anything to do with newspapers.
02:47Then one paper in these parts will be nothing more than a bad memory.
02:56There's a saying in the Evergreen Forest
02:59you get to know almost from the first day you're there.
03:02Where there's smoke, there's hurt raccoon.
03:06It works!
03:08Ah, this is fantastic!
03:12Wow!
03:13Hall of Fame!
03:15Here I come!
03:18Drew, this magic book is gonna give me
03:21months and months' worth of columns.
03:24For the standard.
03:27Yes, that's what they assured me.
03:30We placed that order over a month ago.
03:35Goodbye.
03:36Something is definitely wrong.
03:39And that's the third delivery in a row that's been missed.
03:43What's going on?
03:46Hey, gang!
03:47Have I got something for you!
03:52What's the matter, guys?
03:54Things aren't going very well, Bert.
03:57Well, maybe my new column on magic will cheer you up.
04:05It's going to take magic, Bert.
04:08Because if we don't come up with a miracle by Friday,
04:11there won't be a column.
04:13The fact is, Bert, the newspaper is going out of business.
04:19What?
04:19How's that possible?
04:21We're having trouble getting paper and ink supplies.
04:24And without those supplies, we can't print the standard.
04:28If this keeps up, Friday's edition of the evergreen standard will be the last.
04:35What?
04:36That's impossible!
04:38There must be something we can do!
04:40I think it's time we took some action.
04:44Schaefer, let's go get those supplies ourselves.
04:47And while you're gone, Sophia and I will do what we can here.
04:54Come on, Bert, let's go.
04:56We've got work to do.
04:58Woof, woof!
05:01Front and center!
05:04All of my gold has to be gathered together for noon Friday.
05:09There's a deadline to be met, and we're going to meet it.
05:12Yes, sir!
05:14Synchronize your watches.
05:15In three, two, one.
05:21Now, the next time those raccoon shells stop the presses, it'll be for good.
05:27Because by noon on the 13th, this deceiving daily dukes the unwitting public for the last time.
05:35But, sir, they only print the facts.
05:38Facts?
05:39I'll give you facts.
05:40The life expectancy of a loud-mouthed pig is shortened every time it opens its mouth.
05:45Understand?
05:47Yes, sir.
05:49What now?
05:51Cedric's not going to like this, sir.
05:53Cedric's not going to know, is he?
05:57Yes, sir.
05:57I mean, no, sir.
05:59Now, let's get to work.
06:01Time is running out.
06:03Yes, sir.
06:04I'm running out.
06:07I'm running out.
06:08I'm running out.
06:10Whoa! That's tough work. I'll say. Do you think the boss will have enough gold? I don't know.
06:36Oh, my totals seemed a little low. If he doesn't, that newspaper will still be writing those slanderous truths about him. Yeah, he really wants the evergreen standard out of business.
06:51So we're going to help him out, guys. Help him out? Since he needs gold, we're going to make him gold. Enough gold to put every newspaper in the world out of business.
07:05Whoopee! Gold! Yeah! How are we going to do it?
07:11With the help of this book, I got it from the Get Rich Quick section from the boss's library. It has a chapter on making gold.
07:22A chapter on making gold. Wow! That'll really show the boss what we're made of and show him our devotion.
07:31And it might even earn us a raise. It says here that to make a large amount of gold, you need a small amount of gold.
07:42Gee, where are we going to get gold? The only person around here with any gold is the boss.
07:51We can't take the boss's gold. Can we?
08:01Brew, if the newspaper can't afford supplies, we've got to help them. Oh, we're going to need money.
08:09Oh, where are we going to get money? You're right, Brew. Doing a magic show is just not thinking big enough.
08:19They've come to expect great things from Burt Raccoon.
08:25Hey, Brew, wait! That's exactly the way to get the money for the ink and the paper. The magic formula is right here!
08:38This is it, Brew. We'll perform the greatest trick of all time! We'll make gold!
08:48Six ounces of sweet oil. Check. Uh, that will do ya. Check.
08:59I hear it from the dog, the pitcher. Check. Uh, that's it.
09:03Okay, everything is set. All we need now, according to the book, is a massive amount of electricity.
09:13Oh, goody! Let's do it!
09:16Ready? Three, two, one, zero!
09:26Hey, what happened?
09:28Oh, must be a power failure. The lightning outside must have taken out a few power lines.
09:36Oh, what are we going to do? Without electricity, we can't make our gold!
09:43Wait a minute! Lightning's electricity! We'll take the gold out there!
09:51And I think I know just the place to put it. It's so high that the lightning is sure to strike it.
09:58Please, Pete!
10:01Ralph!
10:05Ralph! Schaefer! You're back!
10:08What happened to the lights, Melissa?
10:10Oh, it's just a power failure. Did you get any supplies?
10:14No. In fact, we couldn't even get anyone to talk to us.
10:18Did you have any luck?
10:20Well, we came up with something. We figured that if we cut the newspaper in half, we could save on ink and paper.
10:28That's a great idea! But we'll still need supplies. And soon, or tomorrow, will be our last edition.
10:37Ralph, I just had a thought. If we gathered up the old editions of our newspaper, couldn't we recycle them?
10:45You're right! And that would make us less dependent on paper deliveries.
10:50It's a step in the right direction. Let's keep thinking. We're not going to give up yet.
10:56I want to make sure I got this right.
11:01Wand in Campesia at the stoke of midnight. What else? Peanut butter!
11:11Oh, high mountaintop. Hmm, high mountaintop.
11:15Hey, the highest mountaintop nearby is Spring's Peak.
11:19Whoop, whoop!
11:20You're right, Drew. It's time to go.
11:22This may be the room of plain old Bert Raccoon tonight.
11:27But by morning, it'll belong to the greatest wizard and magician since Merlin.
11:33Because tonight's the night. I, Bert Raccoon, master of magic, waver of wands, the leader of the pack, really make gold!
11:47But sometimes when you're sleeping, you're so restless in the night.
11:53You're listening to your heartbeat, and you're holding your inside.
11:59Lying in the darkness, you're also closing in.
12:05When all around seems hopeless, you know you can't win.
12:11I know you're really scared, but what you don't know is just the way the wind blows.
12:24I'm stuck to discover the leader's there tonight.
12:30You're so scared of losing without an evil fight.
12:36Sometimes when you're feeling that your dreams have slipped away.
12:42Listen to my heartbeat, and what it has to say.
12:48Don't be scared of what you don't know.
12:54It's just the way the wind blows.
13:01Let's set this up and try.
13:05When that lightning hits, they'll turn everything around here to toast.
13:10Yeah. Whoa. He-he-he-he-he.
13:13And for your point, will the boss be impressed? He-he-he.
13:17Are you sure to go to the city?
13:19Of course it's safe.
13:21Only an idiot would be out on a night like this.
13:24Fortune's hidden in the dark, behind the thunder's roll.
13:33At my command, you'll spit and spark, surrendering your gold!
13:40Huh?
13:46Yay!
13:55Huh?
13:57I did it! I did it!
14:00I did it!
14:01I, Bird Raccoon, Master Wizard, have created...
14:06Gold!
14:07Gold!
14:08Ha-ha!
14:09Gold!
14:10Yee-hoo!
14:12Bird Raccoon's done it again!
14:17This is it, boys!
14:19That storm was strong enough to fill Fort Knox with gold.
14:23Now, the boss will really...
14:28Kill us!
14:30Yes!
14:31The gold!
14:33It's gone!
14:38The raccoon gang toiled all night, looking for other ways to save the newspaper.
14:44But their valiant effort was just not enough.
14:47Can this really be our last edition?
14:50Seems like only yesterday that the first one came out.
14:55It's hard to believe it's all over.
14:58Hang on, gang!
15:01I, Bird Raccoon, Grand Master Wizard, have saved the standard!
15:07What are you talking about, Bird?
15:08Nothing up my sleeve!
15:09Crystal!
15:10The gold that will save the standard!
15:11Gold?
15:12Bird, where did you get this?
15:13I made it!
15:14Last night during the storm!
15:15With my awesome magical powers!
15:17Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:18Nobody can make gold!
15:19It's impossible!
15:20The impossible!
15:21The impossible is what I specialize in!
15:22And this is the gold that's gonna buy all the supplies we need!
15:23It's worth money!
15:24Bird, we have the money!
15:25But the companies won't sell us the supplies!
15:27Huh?
15:28You have the money?
15:29Huh?
15:30You have the money?
15:31Bird, we really appreciate what you've done, but you can't buy what you can't get in the
15:35The newspaper!
15:36It's famous!
15:37The newspaper!
15:38It's famous!
15:39And it's got to see!
15:40It has been a crazy tomato-like-like flashback!
15:41It's what I'm showing!
15:42The actual coins are $100,000!
15:43And the others are, it's worth $100,000!
15:44Oh, he made the $100,000!
15:45And the ones are awarded $100,000!
15:46They were paid $100,000!
15:47They didn't take $100,000!
15:48å°–é–€, $100,000!
15:49And they were like $100,000!
15:50That's the $100,000!
15:51It's a $50,000!
15:52So, it's $50,000!
15:53So, it's $800,000!
15:54That's $800,000!
15:55And it's $100,000!
15:58The rules are $200,000!
16:00what you can't get. The newspaper is finished, isn't it? Hello, the Evergreen Standard.
16:11Well, hello. Cyril Sneer here. I'm holding a press conference at 5 to 12 today. It's
16:20a big story, one I'm sure you'll be interested in. Well, thank you. That was Cyril Sneer.
16:29He's holding a very important press conference just before noon.
16:36Are you ready for the count, Cedric? Yes, Pop.
16:39All right. Let's get a move on. We've only got an hour.
16:43What kind of count are we doing, Pop?
16:46A gold inventory. I want to make sure it's all here. Let's go, Cedric. Time is money. My money.
16:55Right, Pop. Oh, what are we doing now? If he finds that the gold isn't missing, we're
17:04done for. You try to stall him while we search the forest. It's got to be out there somewhere.
17:12Let's speed this up. You start counting. Yes, sir. One, two, four, five, six...
17:27You missed three. Oh, I did? I've always had problems with geometry. Eight, nine...
17:39It's no good. We've looked everywhere. Our goose is cooked. Without the gold, the boss won't
17:49be able to put the newspaper out of business. Newspaper? Hey, there is something we can do.
17:59What's that? I don't know what it is. But... but that's... that's the enemy.
18:06It's either that or... Let's go.
18:24Quick! Quick! Please visit your newspaper for us.
18:28We lost one gold bar. Reward? Handsome. Gold bar? Yes! Yes!
18:36When did you lose it? Last night, during the storm. We've got to get it back as soon as possible.
18:45That's why the reward's so big. It's a matter of life and death. Ours.
18:53But I used the magic formula. I waved my wand like this and poof! Zap! I saw it happen right before my eyes.
19:03Honest! A bit of a small mistake anyone could have made. What? Did they say reward?
19:11Uh, reward? Oh, what reward? You said that there was a big reward.
19:20Ah! Oh, uh, um... oh, that reward! Well, we don't really have a reward.
19:27No reward. No gold. Look! We'll do anything!
19:32Anything?
19:36Hurry! Hurry, Cedric! We only have five minutes!
19:39Time is running out! What's our grand total?
19:57Gee, Pop, I don't know how to tell you this, but you seem to be... right on!
20:04Ha-ha! This is it! In a few minutes, it'll be all mine! Ha-ha! Mine! Mine! All mine! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
20:16I thought it would be nice if you could be here to share history in the making. Do you see all this gold?
20:23It's hard to miss, Mr. Sneer.
20:26No. I'll miss it, all right. But it'll be for a good reason. Because there's enough gold here to buy all the ink and paper factories this side of the Evergreen Forest.
20:37So you're responsible for our supplies being cut off.
20:40But, Pop, that's hardly nice.
20:44Nice! This is the nicest thing that's ever happened to me!
20:48He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!
20:50I'm placing the call that's going to put an end to your newspaper, and you're meddling for good!
20:54Pigs, call Mr. Knox!
20:59Hello?
21:00Uh, really?
21:05Are you sure?
21:07Uh, okay, uh, bye.
21:12Who was that?
21:14Uh, well, it was, uh, Mr. Knox's office.
21:18Uh, well, it seems, uh, you're a little too late. Uh, the deal is off.
21:23What?! But I have the gold!
21:26Uh, well, you missed the deadline, sir.
21:29They won't sell!
21:31What?!
21:32But it isn't noon yet!
21:34He has to sell!
21:36They just told me it's, uh, three minutes past.
21:39Three minutes past?!
21:41How's that possible?!
21:43Who set the clock?!
21:44Who?!
21:45Speak up!
21:46I'll make an example of them!
21:48Uh, uh, I think you forgot something, Pop.
21:51You didn't mean to me.
21:54Speak up!
21:55What secret policy?
21:57Uh, maybe I, uh, shouldn't mention it in front of the employees.
22:05Blast them!
22:06Tell me!
22:07Well, Pop, you rigged the clocks years ago to be five minutes slow so you can get more work out of them and not have to pay them for it.
22:16Ha ha ha ha!
22:18Ha ha ha ha!
22:19Ha ha ha!
22:20Ha ha ha ha!
22:23Ha ha ha!
22:24Ha ha ha ha!
22:26By secretly putting pressure on the Evergreen Standard with his unsuccessful takeover scheme, Cyril Sneer unwittingly made the newspaper a better and more efficient enterprise.
22:37and the staff of the standard even got some unexpected help.
22:41There you go.
22:43And while you're delivering those papers, guys,
22:46don't forget to pick up the old issues for recycling.
22:49You and your big ideas.
22:52Yeah, we can make gold.
22:54Now, we'll put the newspaper out of business
22:57and even get our brains.
23:00Oh, yes, sir.
23:01We'll do anything.
23:04Shut up, shut up, shut up.
23:07Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:37You can run with us.
23:42We've got everything we need.
23:47Run with us.
23:50We are free.
23:53Ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:54Come with us.
23:56Run with us.
23:58I see passion in your eyes.
24:01Run with us.
24:07Oh, run with us.
24:11We've got everything we need.
24:16Run with us.
24:17Run with us.
24:18Run with us.
24:29We'll be next time.
