[mysterious orchestral music plays]
[birds chirping]
[regal music swelling]
Ah!
Ha-ha! Ha!
Only three more days until my birthday!
Your Majesty,
the dishes for your upcoming celebration are waiting for you to taste and approve.
Ahh! Ooh!
I'm coming!
[king laughing]
Good morning, Rosario!
-Bonjour, Your Majesty. -[king] Mm-hm!
[music crescendos]
So, what kind of surprises have you prepared for us this year?
Great pastry to whet your appetite.
And then there is chicken legs stuffed with apples in their own juices.
Magnifique!
And the main course,
bronzed turkey baked with potatoes.
And, of course, dessert.
Oh! Hey!
Hey!
[tense music plays]
[king] Uh! Hey!
[all gasping]
Hey, you! Get back to your place at once!
[Rosario] You hear me?
[ringing and dinging]
Hey, you. Hey, come here. Mon Dieu!
-[Rosario cursing indistinctly] -[ringing and dinging]
[butler gasping]
[music crescendos]
Huh?
[chuckling]
[all gasping]
Yee-haw!
[lively orchestral music plays]
[Rosario gasping, choking]
[both grunting]
-[king grunting] -[spaghetti monster laughing]
[king gasping]
[spaghetti monster laughing]
-Yee-haw! Woo-hoo! -Rosario, I don't like this food! Guards!
[king] Oh, no!
[both whimpering]
-Hurry up! -[king] Save me!
[lively orchestral music continues]
Help!
[king] Help!
Why are you standing still? Go and save the king!
You! Back off!
Go! [soldier grunting and screaming]
-[king] Send Rosario to the dungeon! -Mon Dieu.
[thump]
[ringing]
[dramatic orchestral music plays]
The king has been kidnapped!
What? How?
That's impossible.
It was black magic. Shall I assemble the army, sir?
No, we don't need any panic.
Keep what happened as a strict secret.
To fight against black magic, we must turn to the SMCA.
[Prime Minister] The Secret Magic Control Agency
covertly watches all the magicians of the kingdom.
[mysterious music plays]
[crowd murmuring]
[Prime Minister] They have registered every single magic wand.
-[magician grunting] -[woman gasps]
[Prime Minister] No potion can be brewed without their knowledge.
[witches gasping]
So if anyone can find the king…
they can.
[strongmen grunting]
Hmm.
[grunting]
[sniffing]
Hmm.
[music swells]
Ah! Here it is.
[man laughing] Good, good.
What? Who are you? How'd you get in here, little lady?
Special Agent Gretel, Secret Magic Control Agency.
SMCA?
What would you need from me?
I'm just a law-abidin' circus worker tryin' to earn an honest wage.
Nice try.
Word on the street is you run a smuggling operation.
[ringmaster] Let's go out into the fresh air.
We can discuss this out there.
Believe me, there must be some mistake.
The mistake was kidnapping the king!
[ringmaster] Ow!
[clicking and whirring]
[ringmaster] You should have minded your own business.
Boys! Show this lady her way home.
[loud clang]
[strongmen grunting]
-Huh! -Huh?
[grunting]
-[strongman grunting and growling] -Huh!
-Hoo!
[both grunting]
-Huh? -Hm-mm.
[strongman whimpering]
[whistling and whooshing]
[strongman grunting]
[strongman screaming]
Uh…
[ringmaster laughing nervously]
For kidnapping His Majesty, you will be sentenced to life in…
[gears turning]
[somber music plays]
[Gretel] What?
[gasping] It was a false lead?
But still!
You're keeping magical creatures in cages?
This is forbidden.
Oh, what are you talkin' about?
What cages?
These are their houses.
They're absolutely happy here.
Let's see about that.
-Hold on. How dare you-- -[bones crunching]
[ringmaster grunting]
[thump]
-[gears turning, clanking] -[chuckles]
[phoenix calling]
Huh.
[magical music plays]
Huh.
[music swells]
[splashing]
[phoenix calling]
[dinging, clanking]
-Sir Prime Minister. -Agent Stepmother.
Have you found the king?
We have checked into all wizards and witches,
everyone who wields some magic,
with a license and without, but all in vain.
There's only one last trail left.
Special Agent Gretel, have you managed to find the kidnappers?
No, Agent Stepmother.
It was a false trail.
-[Gretel] We're at a dead end. -[banging]
We are just missing something. Something right in plain sight.
Then we need to see it from a different angle.
We could use the help of someone who's done something of this kind.
Done what? Found kidnapped kings?
No, someone who's kidnapped someone in the daylight,
someone who tricked people,
took them for a ride,
made complete idiots out of them.
I can't really understand where this is going.
Oh, I do! I understand!
It's about Master Hansel.
Remember when he stole the statue of the king
-from the Central Square? -[gasping]
Exactly! The whole kingdom was just going crazy.
-Searching high and low. -[sirens]
Yeah, and remember how smartly he returned it?
Made such big fools out of us all?
People believe he is the greatest wizard in the kingdom.
Stop it! He's nothing but a charlatan.
[somber music plays]
You do understand, if the king is not present
at his birthday celebration in two days, it will lead to panic, chaos,
and more panic.
You need to explore every possible alternative.
[sighing]
Okay.
This could be our only chance.
[horn blowing]
[indistinct chatter]
Agent Gretel.
Aye, ma'am.
Arrest Hansel immediately and bring him to me.
Aye, ma'am.
You think he's going to cooperate?
Be sure that he will.
Agent Gretel is his sister.
-But will she arrest her own brother? -Of course, she's a ruthless professional,
and her dream is to become the Best Agent.
She puts her duties above her family.
[woman 1] Hurry up, we're gonna be late. I've been waiting for this day forever!
[woman 2] Waiting months to see him!
[woman 2] Did you see his show? Spectacular!
-[woman 3] There's a table over there! -[woman 4] We have to find a seat!
-[woman 1] Great view! -[crowd murmurs]
[organ music plays]
-Ooh! -Oh!
[igniting]
-[crowd gasping] -[tense music plays]
I am Master Hansel!
My hands have been scorched by the flames of chaos
and haven't been harmed by any other fire since then.
My eyes have been blinded by the heavenly bodies,
and ever since, they can see farther than any mortal eyes.
[crowd gasping]
I know you have no power over the coming future,
but I can prophesy it and help you.
Master!
[crowd laughing]
[lively music plays]
[man] Amazing.
Witness it, my children.
[Hansel grunting]
-[chuckling] -[muffled honking]
-Oh! -[crowd laughing]
-Behold! -[crowd gasping]
[woman gasps] What is that disgusting thing?
-This used to be a normal rabbit… -[sighs]
…innocently living on a farm on the edge of town.
Then the farmer had an issue
-with a sorceress. -[giggling]
One thing led to another, next thing you know,
the farmer's property gets hit
-with a jinx! -[organ plays]
-A jinx? Oh, no! That's terrible! -How awful! What can we do?
Yes! But only if you don't have a protective ebony amulet,
the wood from the bewitched swamps
-of the Miracle Forest. -[crowd gasps]
Or a yew amulet from the Forbidden Mountains,
or the Norwegian boxwood,
unearthed from the Forever Fjord of the Fairies.
[gasping] Wow! The Norwegian boxwood amulet!
I've been dreaming of this my whole life!
The owner of this amulet has no fear of any kind of jinx.
[wind rushing]
[crowd gasping]
[music crescendos]
[male voice 1] Over here!
-[male voice 2] Look! -[gasping]
I want it! I want this amulet!
I've been hexed just recently. Take a look!
[crowd yelling]
[lively music plays]
[banging]
[clicking and whirring]
I'll buy all of them!
I have a huge household and I don't need any kind of trouble.
I'm so gracious.
I also accept jewelry and precious stones over two carats.
-[woman laughing] So jealous! -I'm so happy!
[Hansel] Goodbye. Have a great day. May the power of the amulets protect you.
-I feel better already! -[excited chatter]
[bouncy music plays]
[Hansel laughing]
-[female voice] Excuse me. -Uh!
-How did you-- -I'm sorry, Master Hansel.
I just waited for everyone to leave.
Could you please lend me one of your amulets?
I'm an orphan, my little sister has fallen badly ill.
[baby coughing]
I can't afford a doctor,
so your amulet is the only hope.
No.
The thing is, these amulets, the magic doesn't work on children.
-So, what should I do? -[Hansel sighing]
I do have some magic gold coins.
They'll help you pay for a doctor
and anything else you and your sister need on your own.
Oh.
Thank you so much, Master Hansel.
But remember, if you tell anyone that it was me
that gave you these magic coins,
they'll turn into dust.
We won't tell anyone. Thank you.
[knocking]
What now? Uh--
Hansel.
Gretel?
Uh…
-Sister! -You're under arrest.
[suspenseful music plays]
-[glass shatters] -Freeze!
-[gasping] -Hands in the air.
Come on, sis. This is no way to treat family.
Let's sit down, have some tea, catch up.
I'm just gonna go put the kettle on.
[Hansel gasping]
-You can't fool me. -What are you arresting me for?
If it's because of the flying carpet, everyone saw it flying when I sold it.
Huh? Is the genie not coming out of the bottle?
Maybe you're rubbing it the wrong way.
Agh!
Stop where you are.
So much for the family reunion.
[agent] Get him!
[agents grunting]
Adiós, sister.
[grunts]
Hm.
Ahh!
[sighing]
[grunting, thumping]
[Hansel] Ow! That hurts! Come on!
[cuffs locking]
I'm actually guaranteed one carrier pigeon message.
[pigeon coos]
It's the law.
-You also have the right to remain silent! -Uhh!
[suspenseful orchestral music plays]
[humming] Ugh!
[whistling]
Welcome! Oh, is the young man afraid of having his hair cut?
The young man wants a hairstyle that will open up his inner world.
-Huh? -That's the password.
Ohh!
[clicking, buzzing]
[ringing, gears turning]
[clunking, whirring]
[chain clinking, thunking]
[music swells]
[whirring and clanking]
[barber sighing]
[air rushing]
Ahh.
[lively music continues]
It's so cool here.
[music crescendos]
[Hansel] So this is really where you work?
Wow!
[clanking]
You. Careful, that class of broom is unpredictable.
Double up on the restraints, use two boots on it.
Yes, Agent Gretel.
-[thump] -[agent yelping]
[Gretel] You, word to the wise, suspects in jelly form
-need to be transported in airtight tubs. -Oh, we'll fix that, Agent Gretel.
-[suspect burbling] -Uh!
-[clanking] -Huh!
-Oh! -Uh--
[agent grunting]
[slide whistle]
[melodic string music plays]
Good morning.
I am Agent Stepmother, Head of the Secret Magic Control Agency.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Hansel, an honest and innocent person.
[boots clacking]
[Stepmother] Release him. Three days ago,
our king was kidnapped right from his palace by magical means.
I haven't kidnapped your king!
I took that statue a while back, I returned it.
It was just a little trick to advertise my business.
That's exactly why you're here.
[Stepmother] Our best agents have failed to find the kidnapper,
and time is running out.
If the king is not present at his birthday celebration in two days,
we'll have total anarchy.
We need someone like you,
someone who can see the situation from the thief's point of view.
What? You're turning to this traitor for help?
I'm a traitor?
Yes! Our parents were teaching us to be honest
and fight against evil,
but you betrayed our family and became a charlatan.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a brother.
Oh! And wasn't it our parents
who were also teaching us not to forget your family?
Enough!
Save the family squabble for the holiday dinner table.
You two have to work together.
-What? -[lively music plays]
No. No way.
This is so stupid!
We can't stand each other!
[Hansel] Exactly! You goody-goodies are way out of…
-[echoes] this charlatan's league. -[clicking]
I'm not asking you for a favor, Master Hansel.
-[buzzing] -It's going to be easy for us to expose
every single trick you've ever pulled.
Every resident of our kingdom will know that you're nothing but a charlatan.
[Stepmother] You'll end up on the street, penniless,
no easy life for you anymore.
[somber music plays]
And as for you, Agent Gretel,
you missed your chance to find the king yourself.
So, if you fail to fulfill my order again,
there's no way for you to achieve the title of Best Agent.
You'll serve coffee around the agency till the end of your days.
[gasping]
So much negative energy coming off her.
But if you still manage to find the king,
Master Hansel,
I'll grant you a license of an 80th-level sorcerer.
And you, Agent Gretel,
you will get promoted,
and the title of Best Agent of the Kingdom.
For that kind of license, I wouldn't just find the king,
I'd find you the Invisible Man!
Okay, sister, just like old times, huh?
How about our secret handshake?
[Stepmother] See Agent Stepdaughter. She'll equip you with everything you need.
Aye, ma'am.
Good luck.
The fate of the kingdom depends on you.
Eh?
[Hansel] Oof!
Oops, I missed.
[Hansel] You've been a terrible shot since we were kids.
[mysterious music plays]
I can't believe we're working together!
You're a hustler, a cheat, a con artist,
and a charlatan.
I'm sorry, all I heard was "artist."
Remember, I work alone, so just stay out of my way.
What is this place?
Magic R&D division.
[adventurous music plays]
Don't touch anything here.
They're all genuine, unlike yours.
Ugh! Oh, yeah,
like I can't tell a real amulet from fake.
[Hansel laughing]
-[ringing] -[Hansel yelping]
[static buzzing]
[sighing]
-[icy explosion] -[grunting]
Wow! They are real!
Who would've thought?
-Aladdin's Lamp! -[whooshing]
-Thor's Hammer! -[buzzing]
This is Pandora's Box.
-Let's take a look inside. -Are you crazy?
The legendary Sword in the Stone.
Maybe I'll become king. Whatd'ya think?
-[Hansel grunting] -[Gretel sighing]
[Hansel] Holy Grail!
Agent Gretel!
-Agent Stepdaughter. -[Hansel] Woo-hoo!
-Who's the civilian? -Gretel, look! A flying carpet?
My brother.
[Hansel laughing]
Uh… no. Just a regular rug.
You don't choose your relatives. What is he doing here?
We need to get equipment.
-He's my new partner. -Ha-ha! Hoo! Ha! Hoo!
-We investigate the king's kidnapping. -Whoa! Seven-league boots!
Ha-hah! Ha-ha!
Don't touch those! You don't know…
-[motor accelerating] -[Hansel] Ha-hah! Ahh! Yee-hah-haw!
[Hansel] What speed!
[screaming]
[revving, buzzing]
[Hansel] Uh, hey! Feels like I'm getting sick. I can't stop.
[screeching]
-[Hansel] Ahh! Uhh! -[crashing]
[stuttering]
-Ow! -Ooh!
-Oh, I hope you haven't broken anything. -I'm okay. Thanks.
I wasn't talking about you.
[mysterious music plays]
Holy amulets!
With an arsenal like this, you can swipe not just the king,
but the whole kingdom.
I'd say "wipe" rather than "swipe," as in completely wipe out. [laughs]
That's why they're here in the most secure facility ever built.
And we only use them to study.
[gasping] So,
you're Hansel, that famous charlata--
I mean, illusionist?
At your service.
-How did you seal the statue of the king? -Trade secret.
Aw! It must be cool to have such a famous brother.
Yeah, me and my sister are thick as thieves.
She's so proud of me--
Ah! Ow, ow! Ow…
Let's get to work.
-I'll give you your equipment. -[yelping]
This is where we study magical artifacts
and reverse-engineer them to create gear and gadgets for our agents.
-Like this, our brand-new invention. -[clanking]
These are our specially-designed glasses.
They allow you to see any signs of magic. Try them on.
Only, you can't look through them for long or it'll damage your eyes.
Just take a quick look and take them off.
[Gretel gasping] Hey, empty your pockets.
Mm…
It wasn't me. Somebody must have planted those.
Uh. Was it you?
Huh?
-[adventurous music plays] -[whirring, clanking]
And this is a magic watch.
It has absolutely everything,
a compass, scissors, a hand saw,
and lipstick!
[kissing]
This will help you get into anywhere.
Look!
[splashing, crackling]
-Huh! -Wow!
-Hm. -Oh boy!
-[air rushing, clunking] -[agent yelping]
-[laughs] -[Gretel sighs]
-Hey! -[burbling and squishing]
-[crackling] -Agh!
The effect is temporary, a few seconds.
-[Hansel chuckling] -Huh!
[Hansel] Heh!
[Gretel gasping]
[laughing] I knew you had no heart.
This is specifically for newbies like you.
[ringing]
Anti-stray pebbles. You'll never go astray if you have 'em.
Here!
[Hansel] Huh-ah! Ugh!
Now the most important thing. The results from our crime scene analysis.
I found traces of an ingredient that I believe brought the king's food to life.
Hmm. [gasping] And just five minutes ago, I built this!
[static buzzing and ringing]
Incredible! You formulated a reagent.
She did what?
Think of it as a tracking device. It can lead us to the mystery ingredient.
Yeah, I'm a genius!
Here's a list of ingredient suppliers to the king's kitchen.
-[Stepdaughter chuckling] -Hmm.
This one at the bottom, the Sugar and Spice Shop.
It's in the sketchiest part of town.
That's where I'd run things if I was trying to stay under the radar.
Thanks for your criminal expertise.
Hey, just trying to earn my keep.
We'll stake it out. Great job, Agent Stepdaughter.
Thank you.
Okay, time to go.
Yes, thank you for everything.
-Good luck! -To you as well!
[door slamming]
[female voice] Hm. Hm-hmm.
[jazz music plays]
-[hissing] -[female voice humming]
[woman] Ahh!
Almost ready.
Vanilla, I need more vanilla.
[chimes ringing]
That's it?
Where's the rest of my vanilla?
[speaking gibberish]
-What? They've been taken captive? -[grunting]
-I don't need your excuses! -[yelping, gasping]
-I need vanilla. -[suspenseful music crescendos]
[General screaming]
Hm.
Now, you're the general.
Don't disappoint me.
[General grunting]
Huh?
[dramatic clanging]
[General grunting]
[bubbling]
-Hm. -Hm.
-[ringing explosion] -[gasping, sniffing]
[sighing]
[dramatic orchestral music plays]
[ringing and dinging]
[king grunting]
-Uh. Huh? -Ah!
Finally, you're here.
[jazz music plays]
[cupcakes grunting]
[woman] Oh, my sweet king!
Never have a falling out with your bread and butter, right?
I'm so happy you're finally paying a visit
-to my humble house. -[groaning]
Let's celebrate with a feast!
-[laughs hysterically] -[gasping and grunting]
Ilvira?
-[clanging tone] -[somber music]
-[bubbling] -[king grunting]
Wha-- What is the meaning of this?
[clanging]
[king gasping] Is this what you feed to the king?
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
-Now, try my lovely soup. -[echoing ringing]
Gnah!
This isn't soup.
It's black magic!
-Out! -[Ilvira gasps]
Get out of my kingdom! Never set foot in here again!
You're banished forever!
-[Ilvira sobbing] -Forever!
[clanging tone]
Oh! You still remember me!
What do you want from me? Money? I'll pay as much as you want.
A license? Have a lifetime one!
[king] Let me go.
[Ilvira laughing]
Oh, Your Majesty, no need to go that far.
-Why would I need those trinkets? -Then what do you need?
Soon, your whole kingdom will be mine!
-[dramatic orchestral music plays] -No! No way! Never in my life!
Wait, wait, Your Majesty. Calm down.
I'd like you to try my brand-new royal dessert.
-I-- -[boing]
-Mmm. Yummy! Delicious, isn't it? -What are they made of?
Some nasty stuff again?
Oh, you can't have too many frogs in your soup.
I'm sure you're gonna love them soon enough,
and love me, too.
No! I would--
-[boing] -[king choking]
-[king] No! -Appetite comes with eating.
-[Ilvira laughing] -[king] No! No, I don't…
[Ilvira laughing hysterically]
-[popping] -[cat screeching]
[crickets chirping]
-Looks quiet, too quiet. -[Hansel sighing]
[Gretel] I don't like it.
Why are we hiding, though?
There's no one around.
[owl hooting]
It's probably booby-trapped, so watch your step.
Let's go.
-[suspenseful music plays] -[Gretel] Huh! Ha!
Hah!
[Hansel sighing]
-[Gretel grunting] -[slide whistle]
Huh! Hm…
[squishing]
Looks like you fell into the slugs' trap.
Huh?
[gasping and screaming]
-[clanging] -Huh! Hm…
[suspenseful music continues]
Hm.
[splashing and crackling]
[Hansel] Hey, sis, when this is all over,
who do I talk to about a little, you know,
-compensation? -Hmm.
[Hansel] Is there a form I need to fill out or timecard to submit?
[metallic click]
Hey, why didn't they give me one?
Quiet. You be the lookout, I'll check here.
-[Hansel sighing] -Huh! Hm! Huh!
[electrical buzzing]
[shivering]
Freezing cold.
Ah!
Ah! So, tell me, how's your life?
Do you have tattoos? You go clubbing?
We haven't spoken in years.
Let's not break that fine tradition, okay?
[shivering]
What on earth?
[scale plays]
Ohh!
Exactly. How did I miss this?
It's a trick, cold fire.
Okay, let's go. There's no sign of the mystery ingredient,
just another dead end.
[Gretel] Hansel?
Hansel, where are you?
[suspenseful music plays]
Come here. I just found something.
[gasping] You're… burning!
Ah! It's not real fire. It's cold.
I use this gag on stage. Fools 'em every time.
Follow me. There's a secret passage.
"I work alone. I don't need a partner."
Quiet.
Looks like we found someone's secret stash.
Enough goodies to send the kingdom into sugar coma.
-Hmm. -Ah.
[cupcakes humming]
Bingo.
I can't believe my eyes.
-Those cupcakes are alive. -[cupcake grunts]
-[cupcake 1 speaking gibberish] -[cupcake 2 laughs]
-[cupcake 2 grunting] -[boing]
[cupcake 1 laughing]
-[boing] -[laughing]
-[cupcakes speaking gibberish] -[boing]
[Gretel sighing]
You see that door?
[dramatic clang]
[cupcakes yelling gibberish]
That must be where they're hiding the king.
So, what are we gonna do? Let's go get help from the agency.
Negatory. I got this.
Watch me and try to keep up.
-Hm? -Huh!
[adventurous music plays]
Uh! Ah!
[slide whistle]
-Huh? -[Gretel] Huh!
Uhh! Huh! Hmm.
Ahh?
What's so scary about them? They're just cupcakes.
Huh?
They should be scared of us. We're at the top of the food chain.
Hey, cupcake!
Who's your owner or… baker or whatever?
Where are you keeping the king? Answer!
[laughing]
[speaking gibberish, screaming]
Stop it right now.
[Hansel] What did I tell you? You are gonna get it!
-[cupcakes screaming] -Ah-ha! Gotcha!
[growling]
[suspenseful music plays]
-[speaking gibberish] -[Hansel gasping]
Distract them until I find the king.
[dog growling]
So maybe I'm not the top of the food chain?
-[dog growling and barking] -Ahhh!
-[cupcakes yelling gibberish] -Huhh! Ahh! Gretel!
Don't let them in here!
-Wha-- Huh! Ahhh! -[jaws chomping]
[Gretel] No king in here, but so many potions.
Uhh! Ahh! Ah!
"Angrifurine"?
"Swampy Rage Provoker"? "Fungus Shrinkillus"?
-Save me! Ahh! -[cupcake 1 speaks gibberish]
"Baba Yaga recommends"?
So she's involved in this!
-[dog barking] -Ahh!
Huh-ah! Uh! Oof!
This isn't just a regular kidnapping.
-Something much more serious is going on. -So serious, it's gonna eat us!
-"Toad Fat-boogium"? No. -[barking]
"Toadstool Hoaxium"? No. "Acne Nano-ointment"?
[ringing and buzzing]
Got it! The mystery ingredient that brings them to life.
[muffled barking]
Huh-ahh!
Go away! Down! Bad dog!
-[Hansel] Uh! Huh! Whoa! -Huh-uh! Ahhh!
[Hansel] Whoa! No, no! Uhh! Get down!
[Gretel gasping and grunting]
-[growling] -Down! Uh!
Huhh! Uh!
-Uh-ahh! -[barking]
[Hansel] I don't know what that means! Oh!
[glass breaking]
Ahh!
Look! Here, fetch! Go get it! Tah!
No, stop! What are you doing? You can't!
[adventurous music plays]
-Uh-gah! Yeah! Go! Take that! -Huh? Huh-uh! Huhh!
-[yelping] -Ya! Uh!
[dog growling]
-Uhh… -Uhh!
-Huh-Hahh! -[Hansel] Huh-ahh!
[music crescendos]
-[shattering] -[Hansel and Gretel panting]
-Huh! -Oh!
Uhh!
[crackling]
[dog yelping and barking]
Ahh!
Huh?
Ha? Hah!
Agh!
Ahh!
[Gretel screaming]
Uhh! Ahh!
-[Gretel] Gross! Ahh! -Ugh!
[both coughing]
[dog whimpering]
[ringing and sirens]
[indistinct chatter]
What happened?
Men, this way!
[cupcakes speaking gibberish]
[soldier] Search the area.
[Hansel] Hello? Gretel!
Gretel!
[dog barking]
Gretel!
Are you all right?
-[Gretel groaning] -[gasping]
[gasping]
What happened to you?
-What, I… -[dramatic music plays]
"I, I…" You've turned into a child, that's what.
I told you not to touch anything. [laughing]
Now, I'll have to work alone.
But I'm a special agent, and I can do this.
And you only bring trouble anyway.
[music builds]
What?
No… No!
I don't want to be a child!
Going to school again! Wahhh!
I was a straight-A student for ten years!
I won't go through that again!
Oh, I really hated being a kid.
Homework, vegetables, being grounded,
feeling powerless.
There must be a way to fix it.
I told you not to throw magic potions around.
Oh, so it would be better if that monster had eaten us?
[dog barking]
And you should have listened to me and gone to get help anyway!
But, no, you've grown up so presumptuous.
-Self-sufficient! -Ohh!
I am the only one in history to get the royal scholarship without parental help.
-[Hansel grunting] -I almost become Best Agent,
all by my own efforts!
And now, because of you, I get fooled like a newbie!
Oh, dear. I'm sooo sorry.
-[screaming] -[both grunting]
[soldier] Look there.
Hey, you! What have you done? What's going on here?
We should leave.
[soldier] Hey, get back here!
Get 'em! Men, this way!
[soldier] After them!
[soldier] They'll get away!
Phew! That was a close call. [chuckling]
What next?
I'm thinking.
Fungus Shrinkillus!
Hey! I wasn't calling you names.
Not you, the potion that transformed us.
Fungus Shrinkillus by Baba Yaga.
I saw it back on the shelf.
Oh, so what do we do now?
We have the evidence. Agent Stepdaughter will find out who this mark belongs to,
and then we'll nail the kidnapper.
Let's go back to the SMCA.
Will she be able to break the spell?
I hope so. We won't get the king back as long as we're kids.
[slide whistle]
Leave it! Let's go.
Hey, it's just a puppy. We can't just leave him completely alone.
Okay, fine. Maybe it can be of some use in the lab
-for some experiments. -[dog yelps]
Oh, don't listen to her.
[upbeat music plays]
[man humming]
[knocking]
[zoing]
-Put courtesies aside. -[man] Ow.
What is the meaning of all this?
I need a hairstyle to open up my inner world.
[dog panting]
[buzzer ringing]
Ahh! Oh!
-[agent grunting] -Ahh! Oof!
Don't ever come back here again, rascals.
Oh, yeah?
I'm Agent Gretel.
I'll show you. You're gonna regret this.
No one has ever treated me this way!
Calm down!
[Gretel sighing]
Okay.
We need to find another way into HQ.
You mean the most secure facility ever built?
-Yeah, sure, won't be a problem. -Don't forget.
I'm Agent Gretel.
[regal music plays]
[soldiers] Huh! Huh! Huh!
Huh! Huh! Huh!
Huh. Huh…
Huh?
-[banging] -Things are bad!
-[spitting] -The pastry shop is completely destroyed.
Hansel and Gretel are gone.
-No trace! -Keep calm, agent!
Hansel and Gretel are the best.
I'm most certain they've tracked the kidnapper
and are bringing them here right now.
You don't understand,
-we need to get to headquarters! -Ow!
I'm telling you for the last time, find some other place to play your games.
[both grunting]
[adventurous music plays]
-Ahhh! -[dogs barking, jaws chomping]
[both gasping]
No!
[dogs yelping]
[gasping and sighing]
[adventurous music plays]
-Hmm. -[dog panting]
-[slide whistle] -[all yelping]
-Ahh! -Uhh!
Ahhh!
Uhh!
[exploding]
-[Hansel] Uh! -Huh!
-Ow! -Uhh!
[Gretel] I can't believe they're doing this to us.
[Gretel] We are special agents.
We're just children to them. You wouldn't believe us, either.
[Gretel] Now, I'll never become the Best Agent.
[birds chirping]
Aw, come on.
No use crying over spilled milk.
[wood pecking]
You're right.
Getting any help from the SMCA apparently isn't an option,
but we are not just some regular kids, after all.
We can deal with this on our own.
Let's go to the Thick Forest.
To the Thick Forest? Why?
Even the wolves are afraid to go.
That's where Baba Yaga's lair is.
Yeah. She is exactly who we need to visit.
Are you out of your mind? Baba Yaga eats children.
Allegedly.
There's no evidence that proves it, no witnesses either.
Yeah, because she ate them all.
Don't forget that I'm Special Agent Gretel
from the Secret Magic Control Agency,
and I can easily make Baba Yaga take the spell off us.
-She's sure to know who makes the powder. -Oh. So,
-how are we gonna make it to her place? -That's how.
Huh?
[clang]
You again?
Oh, now you're gonna get it!
[grunting, clanging, wacking]
-[banging] -[barber groans]
[exciting music swells]
[clanking]
[barber] Brats! I'm gonna teach you yet!
[tone ringing]
[suspenseful music plays]
[crickets and night birds chirping]
[Hansel gasping] Look!
[scales play]
[bird cawing]
Uh, Gretel, I think we're getting a parking ticket.
[bike bell rings]
We're not getting back that way. Let's go.
[dog panting]
[owl hooting]
[tone echoes]
[Hansel gasping] Look, over there, in the attic.
-A real mortar. -[frogs croaking]
Do you think it really flies?
-You can ask it yourself soon. -[chuckles]
If I had one, I'd be the coolest--
Charlatan.
Oh, stop it. Can't you even let me dream?
Hey, you! Hut!
Turn your face to me, and your back to the forest.
[creaking and banging]
[clacking]
Who did the storm blow in at this time of night?
[scale plays]
Granny Baba Yaga, we're children, Hansel and Gretel.
[Gretel] Let us in.
What's wrong?
Oh, well, you know, it's just that…
there's Baba Yaga!
Agh! Let's go.
Children?
With a barking cookie dog?
We're from the Secret Magic Control Agency,
and the dog is evidence.
We are investigating the abduction of the king.
But where are your parents?
We have no parents. We're orphans.
[gasping]
-Please come in, my dear children. -[eerie music plays]
-Told you. She rocks! -Don't stay out in the cold, come in.
I'll give you some food and warm beds and will tell you everything.
[Baba Yaga] I'm selling my potions in seven kingdoms.
No way I could remember all my customers.
[Gretel] Will you be able to take the spell off of us, Granny Yaga?
[Gretel] I remember the name of the potion.
It was Fungus Shrinkillus.
-We'll pay you back. -[Baba Yaga humming]
I'll prolong your license for ten more years at once,
as soon as I become the regular me again.
I will, my darling. I will.
I'll boil the potion by morning and take the hex right off.
But now you should go to sleep.
Everything gets better after a good night's sleep.
[Gretel yawning]
I could use some sleep.
One more question, Granny Yaga.
This potion, where does it come from?
I thought you were the only one who produced magic potions.
Ah! There's a mighty lake witch.
[Baba Yaga] She makes this vanilla.
-[Baba Yaga] She lives by a huge volcano. -[Gretel gasping]
By the way, your dog just reeks of vanilla.
[gulping]
That means it was she who kidnapped our king?
-[Gretel laughing nervously] -Of course. Who else?
Okay. Now, you need to go to bed
if you want me to take the spells off in the morning.
[Baba Yaga] I still need to cook the potion.
Listen to what grown-ups are saying.
To bed now.
-Good night, Granny Baba Yaga. -Wha--
Night night, kids.
Sleep tight.
What an old crone!
[Gretel yawning] She does want to eat us!
Uh, what do you mean?
She laced the pastries with a sleeping potion.
"Told you, she rocks!"
[groaning]
-We shouldn't have come here at all. -No, it was the right thing to do.
[Gretel yawning] You heard her.
The king was kidnapped by the Lake Witch.
[gasping] Well, we need to run. Run now.
[Hansel] Let's climb through the window!
[hissing]
Guh!
[snoring]
Don't fall asleep. What do we do?
-[bell ringing] -Ooh!
-Ow. -Go the kitchen, look through the herbs.
[yawning] The one we need is called "moon gem."
This is the antidote. If we don't get it, we're…
we're…
[Gretel yawning]
What's this gem even look like?
[door creaking]
Kids. Pretty, plump, and tasty.
[Baba Yaga laughing]
[Baba Yaga humming]
[suspenseful music plays]
[ringing scale]
-With some onions and potatoes… -This better work.
[Hansel] Congratulations!
-Ah! What? Where? -[Hansel] You're our lucky winner.
-You have won-- -Oh, my! Begone, wretched being!
[Hansel] Oh… such a shame.
You're the first winner in a thousand years.
Wait!
But… what have I won?
A trip to a far away tropical paradise!
[Hansel] Sandy beaches, fruity cocktails, soothing mud baths, facelifts.
Ooh! Will there also be men?
Huh-ho! Disco dancing every Friday.
-But first you must pay a winner's tax. -Tax?
Yeah, just a tiny formality.
What's one moon gem in exchange for your happiness?
Uh, hey. Well, yes, I have one right here.
[dramatic banging]
[scale plays]
[bang]
-Um, here. -Is this the moon gem?
-Well, yes. -Are you sure?
[Hansel] All righty, then! This is your trip ticket. See you in paradise!
Hah-ha!
Ha-- Huh?
Thick sap extract?
[Hansel grunting]
[suspenseful music plays]
-Uh! -[Gretel choking]
[Gretel coughing]
-Are you crazy? -What?
You're just supposed to sniff it!
Yeaghh!
-[dog barking] -Shh!
[Baba Yaga] Hey, shouldn't you be asleep? Open the door! Do it!
Oh, what do we do? She'll devour us.
We need to run to the Lake Witch!
How? The unicycle is gone, and we're surrounded by swamps!
Then we'll fly in the mortar!
Right! The mortar in the attic!
[gears turning]
I guess we'll get to find out if it can really fly.
[splintering]
Help me up.
[Gretel grunting]
Uh! Uhh!
-Uhh! -[Hansel nasally] Any luck?
-What? -Hurry!
Uhh!
Yurrg!
-Uhh! -Ahh!
Decided to run away?
Huh!
Here, quick!
[Baba Yaga] Come back!
Stop, you brats!
[Hansel and Baba Yaga grunting]
Gretel, help!
[everyone grunting]
Errrgh!
Agh!
Uhh!
Huh?
[dramatic music plays]
-How does it work? -Weird. What is it for?
[Gretel gasping] Look!
A lock?
I'll take care of that.
-Baba Yaga's broomstick, it-- -Got it.
[fizzing]
[Hansel panting]
[gasping]
[both grunting]
Ah!
Uhh!
Oh.
[Hansel grunting and panting]
You've broken my broom.
[adventurous music plays]
Stolen my mortar?
Hah!
And set fire to my hut! Rotten kids!
-Yeah, take that! -[fuel burning]
And your license has been revoked.
[Baba Yaga] What kind of children are you?
Did you eat something special to be like this?
You're insane!
[fizzling]
[popping]
[Baba Yaga] Agh!
[owl hooting]
[upbeat music plays]
This is so cool!
-That's what I call secret agents' work. -I know, right?
You totally got her!
You burned Baba Yaga's hut, and I thought you grew up and became a total bore.
But that just rocked!
And I thought you had no brains left,
but you worked it out so that we could hijack the mortar and save ourselves.
[laughing] I can't believe it!
Seems like we're making quite a team. What do you say?
Maybe. Okay, now, pass me the broom.
What broom?
Baba Yaga's broom, you ran to get it on the roof?
Yeah, you told me to break it. That's what I did.
What? That's not what I said. Why did you break it?
All witches use brooms to fly.
If it wasn't for me, she'd have already caught up with us.
We need the broom to steer the mortar!
Oops.
I'm taking back what I said about your brains.
[wind whistling]
[shivering] So, what do we do now?
I don't know, freeze to death?
Though, I know how to warm us up.
Huh! Hey! Ah! Uh! Stop it!
[Hansel and Gretel grunting]
[Hansel] Gretel!
[clicking]
Stop hitting me!
Huh?
Where would you like to fly?
To the Lake Witch?
[sparking and ringing]
The route has been set.
[soaring orchestral music plays]
[Hansel] Wow!
Look! There's the Magic Lake.
[tinkling]
So beautiful.
So, what was the point of you complaining about the broom?
"Why did you break it?"
[adventurous music swelling]
The Lake Witch, straight ahead.
Please use the manual control for landing.
[ding]
Hey! This won't do. Come back!
I'm talking to you. Stupid piece of wood.
-[tense music plays] -Hold on, we're gonna crash!
[both screaming]
[both grunting]
-[both gasping] -[dog panting]
-Phew! It's over. -[sighs]
[both laughing]
-[wood cracking] -Uh?

Huh-uh.
You have arrived.
Please rate your driver.
[ding]
[jazz music plays]
-Eat, eat! You'll grow big and strong! -I don't want to!
[king muffled]
[cupcakes speaking gibberish]
The SMCA?
-What? -[cupcakes speaking gibberish]
-Disgusting children? -[exploding sounds]
Thrown-up porridge?
[speaking gibberish]
Blown-up storage?
[cupcakes make exploding sounds]
[Ilvira gasping] They've blown up my pastry storage!
-[grunting] -[cupcake 2 whistling]
They're gonna pay for that!
[dramatic music plays]
[Ilvira] Pour it down!
[clanking and banging]
[slithering]
[machinery rumbling]
[music crescendos]
Ahh!
[clanging and banging]
Bah-ooh?
[dough ball gasping] Mommy!
Aww!
They've hurt your mommy so badly.
Find them.
Then what will you do to them?
[dough ball growling] Pain!
Wonderful!
Roll them flat for your mommy!
[Ilvira laughing]
[dramatic music plays]
[birds chirping]
[rustling]
Get up.
We were flying towards the lake, so that's the direction.
[grunting] Shame the mortar is done for.
I thought I might keep it. You know, wind in my hair,
turning heads of all single ladies in the kingdom.
Dream on. Get ready.
What? Like you don't have any dreams like that?
Don't write them all in your "Dear Diary for Secrets."
[gasping]
Give that to me! It's mine!
Agh!
"Dear Diary,
I had one of the most intense experiences of my life today."
Wha-huh-ho!
-This is gonna be juicy! -Give it back.
"My heart was pounding faster than ever before."
Stop reading that!
"When I saw the look in his eyes, I knew I would never be the same."
It's private!
"I never felt so alive as when I slapped on the cuffs
and made my first arrest."
Wait. What is this?
[dog growling]
It's all about work.
Don't you have, like, any personal life?
"Dear Diary, I'm undercover."
"Dear Diary, I'm in a high-speed chase."
-"Dear Diary, I'm at target practice." -[growls]
"Dear Diary, I only hope…
I can be Best Agent like Mom and Dad were, so they'd be proud of me."
Jerk.
Ahh! Oof!
Uhh.
-Gretel, I'm sorry. -Save it.
[moody instrumental music plays]
So, what's the plan?
We'll sneak into her lair, invisible, like shadows.
Silent, like ninjas.
Like shadows of ninjas.
-[popping] -[dog barking]
What? What do you want?
[deep growling]
Huh? Huh!
Ahhh!
[dog barking, whimpering]
[dog barking, yelping]
[scale plays]
[mysterious music plays]
[insects chirping]
[horn blowing]
Congratulations, Agent Gretel. The most brilliant mission in history.
So, when do we escape invisibly and silently like ninjas?
There's no way.
Rumor has it the Lake Witch is a real monster.

Just look at this!
Now that villainess Ilvira is even sending children.
Uh… Who's Ilvira?
-We are not spies. We're-- -No point in sneaking around.
-Search them! -[splashing]
Here you go, Mom.
[queen sighing]
Thank you, my dear.
[lively instrumental music plays]
Hm. Uh…
[tinkling scales play]
[Queen gasping] Our magic vanilla!
-Thieves! -Oh!
-Uh. -[dramatic music plays]
-You're here to steal our magic vanilla. -[grunts]
Now I'll turn you into fish to exfoliate my royal feet!
-Huh? -[giggling]
-[Hansel and Gretel gasping] -I'm Sam!
Get me out of here!
-Ahh! -Prepare them for the transformation!
No! No, don't do it!
No! Huh-ah! Ooh.
Gretel!
-Ahh! -What the-- Huh?
[Hansel and Gretel screaming]
[tinkling]
Huhh! Uhh!
[gasping]
Mom! Mom, stop.
They're our friends!
She has my pendant.
That's how we ended up in your place.
You saved my only daughter.
I'm sorry we took you for Ilvira's servants.
She always sends her thieving cookies here.
Who is this Ilvira anyway?
There is no such sorceress in our database.
-She isn't even a sorceress. -[tinkling]
She uses my vanilla to bake herself servants.
To get real magic powers,
she needs to become queen, like me.
But what king will marry that chef of theft?
[birds squawking]
The one she's kidnapped!
If our king marries her…
Then Ilvira will get magic of the royal level.
-Ahh! -[queen] Don't worry.
No one has ever loved Ilvira,
so no way anyone would want to marry that viper.
Your Majesty, we've caught one more thief.
Living food!
Let's send him to the others.
[jazz music plays]
[female voice singing]
Your Majesty, where can we find Ilvira?
If I knew, I'd have stopped those raids long ago.
Her cookies always appear out of the blue,
steal our magic vanilla, and vanish without any trace.
[queen] Except for those we manage to capture.
-[inquisitive music plays] -[cupcakes speak gibberish]
[queen] We put Ilvira's cookies here.
[queen] Without anyone to command them, they are like children.
[soldier speaking gibberish]
Pfft!
[Hansel] So, maybe let's just get Ilvira's location out of them?
[queen] We tried, but they only speak gibberish.
[queen] No one understands their language.
One more dead end.
-[Gretel groaning] -Don't lose your spirits.
You've saved my only daughter, so you can share our paradise life in the lake.
But we have to save the king!
I'm so sorry I can't help you with anything.
Forget the king and stay here to enjoy the endless celebration.
[Hansel giggling]
[Gretel groaning repeatedly]
[woman gasping] Uh-uh.
-[Gretel grunting] -[slurps]
Maybe you should just stop resisting already.
Huh-eyahh.
Sometimes you have to accept what life gives ya.
Hmm!
Remember, we're honorable guests, not prisoners.
[birds squawking]
[Gretel gasping] Prisoners!
-Exactly! -What?
Let's go!
[instrumental music plays]
[Hansel] Uh, what are you up to?
[Gretel] Diversion!
-We'll set the prisoners free. -[Hansel] But why?
[Gretel] Follow the cookies.
They will bring us straight to Ilvira.
No way! The mermaids already tried.
The mermaids haven't graduated with honors

My poor doggy must have been so scared before his death.
No.
Special serum is used to create magic.
First thing they teach you in the SMCA Academy is,
if you smell some serum, be ready to encounter some magic.

There's a passage here! Let's go.

Hey, we're a great team.
Yes, it seems so.

No.

Thanks for saving me… back by the cliff.
Um…
That's my duty… as long as we're partners.
Saving the kingdom together…
just like we dreamed when we were kids. [laughing]
Yeah, just…
it was only you who made that dream come true.
Not me.
Never too late to make things right.
You think so?
Of course!
You have everything you need to make that happen.
I wouldn't have accomplished any of this if I hadn't gotten the royal scholarship.
I had no money at all, but you have plenty!
Sure, studying is not as easy as deceiving people, but…
you can still become a special agent.

Rescue me? From what?
-[dramatic bang] -[Cookie panting]
What do you mean?
You've been kidnapped, we're here to take you back!
[king grunting] Ilvira, my love!
There are some children here, they want something from me.
[king] Are these your kids?
Tell them to leave me alone.
They make me tired.
[king munching noisily]
[scale plays]
[beeping, high-pitched whine]
[clicking]
-The king has been enchanted! -Gretel, here!
[Gretel] Love Cookies!
[Gretel] Now it's clear just how she's planning to marry the king!
anyone who eats even one of her cookies will instantly become her slave!
[Hansel] That's why she needed that cookie storage in town!
[Gretel] She wants to bewitch the entire kingdom!
-[Hansel] Cookie-pocalypse! -[sinister music crescendos]
We have to save the king.
Your Majesty, Auntie Ilvira made you a very tasty wedding present.
[king chewing] Oh, really? Where is it? Hm!
We'll show you where she's hiding it if you come quietly.
Oh! What are we waiting for then? [king chuckling]
Let's go.
[whimsical music plays]
And here's the way out.
[everyone panting]
[king] Oh!
[kids grunting]
Lift with your legs, Hansel! Legs!
I'm trying, but he's heavier than that tacky gold statue of him.
Hansel? Statue?
You're that trickster that stole my golden statue!
Uh… I didn't steal it.
It was just a publicity stunt…
-for my business. -Ugh!
You stole my statue and now you want to steal me!
Guards! Guards!
Help! Help!
Huh! Huh! Huh!
[music crescendos]
Well, well, well.
-Lookie, lookie. Who do we have here? -[gasp]
Illy! They're trying to kidnap me.
That's the little scamps I've heard so much about.
You've destroyed my cookie supply,
and you're about to kidnap my beloved king.
Give us back the king and we'll go easy on you.
That's exactly what I was going to do, my sweethearts.
His Majesty and I are flying to his palace to get married!
And you're going to serve enchanted cookies at your wedding.
Oh?
So you've worked out my plan.
But it doesn't much matter anymore.
I will make great candies out of you.
Dream on! Sleep.
Huh?
Hoo! Huh!
Nice try, sweetie.
Throw them into the oven! The one for candies.
-No! Get your hands off. -You're gonna regret this!
-[Cookie growling and barking] -Oh! What a cutie. Ahh!
Traitor! Have a cookie.
[Cookie yelping and panting]
[Ilvira] Let's go.
Take your places.
[king munching noisily]
[Ilvira laughing hysterically]
Let-- Ahhh!
No!
Ahhh!
Whoa!
[Gretel yelping]
Agh!
-[squishing] -Ugh!
[dramatic bang]
[Hansel yelping and gasping]
[fizzing and popping]
-Are you okay? -Get away.
This is all your fault.
If you weren't such a liar and swindler,
the king wouldn't have recognized you, I would have saved him.
You said it yourself. He's bewitched.
You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.
Exactly! I've always achieved everything on my own.
I would have found the king, but no…
you had to get involved and ruin everything,
so you could get that 80th-level license.
Ugh! You can never have enough!
You think I'm here because of the license? That's just a piece of paper.
I have plenty of fans lining up to see me anyway.
Don't lie to me.
You're selfish, and you've been like this your whole life.
You became a swindler
while our parents were honest fighters of evil.
You could have studied like I did and gotten a scholarship from the king.
There was no scholarship!
[Hansel gasping]
-What do you mean, "no scholarship"? -I made it up.
Without our parents, we were penniless. We had nothing.
Do you think I didn't want to become an agent…
or that it was my dream to cheat people?
I had to so you could fulfill your dream!
No. I have achieved everything myself.
Yes, you achieved everything yourself.
I just helped you get started.
Our parents taught us to help each other.
You're lying.
[bubbling]
[jazz music plays]
[girl gasping]
[grunting]
[girl gasping]
[Ilvira laughing]
Wha--
[Stepmother] Wedding invitation? Free cookies? Hm?
[music crescendos]
[bittersweet music plays]
[Cookie panting]
Hm. [sniffing]
[sighing]
[boinging]
[Cookie yelping]
Ah! Hah.
All my life, I dreamt of becoming Best Agent,
and in the process,
I sacrificed the most precious thing I had…
my family.
Forgive me.
Whoa, whoa. If you start crying, I'm gonna start crying,
and my fans can't see that.
I have never held any grudge against you.
[Gretel gasping]
Mm-hm. Mmm.
[horns play]
Let's get out of here. Come on.
[dramatic music plays]
Mm! Mm…
Uh!
[Cookie yelping]
Uh…
[panting and barking]
Ah!
[both laughing]
[pfft]
Help me up.
Huh-uh!
[gasping]
[Gretel grunting]
-Ya-uh! -Uhh!
-Ooh! -Huhh!
[Gretel grunting]
Hu-ahh!
-Agh! -Huh.
Huhh!
Ugh!
[Gretel grunting]
Ya!
-Ahh! -Mm!
Uhh!
[Cookie panting]
[Gretel laughing]
[all panting]
[Cookie panting and yelping]
[Hansel laughing]
[Gretel gasping]
[Gretel] The Love Cookie recipe.
I'll make an antidote.
-[Cookie yelping] -[Hansel laughs]
[Hansel] Can you do that?
Of course! The money you paid for my education didn't go in vain.
Help me find some ingredients.
-You neutralize a toadstool with a sap. -Here's the sap!
A bellflower will counteract the swamp mud.
Got the bellflower.
-Ahh! -[crashing]
For the raven feather, we need a firebird feather.
How 'bout a goose feather?
-[honks] -[Gretel] No.
Ow! Where will we get a firebird feather? There's nothing like that around here.
[Gretel] Wait, I have one!
-[Hansel] Are you kidding me? -Long story.
[fizzing]
[booming]
[crackling]
Wow!
It's ready!
Never show up at a wedding without a present.
[clicking]
Now, time to go to the celebration and have some fun.
Yeah, but… how do we get there?
I know how. Follow me.
And here is our wedding invitation.
[scale plays]
[music crescendos]
Whoa!
[Hansel grunting and sighing]
[Gretel] Yee-ha!
[groaning]
[music soars]
[Gretel laughing]
[Hansel groaning]
[Gretel] Great!
[Gretel laughing] I have no idea where to fly.
-What? -I don't know how to get back home.
[Hansel laughing]
I took care of that. Look!
[sparking]
[crackling]
[frog croaking]
[Gretel gasping] You've been leaving a trail all this time?
[Hansel] Yeah! You see, I'd make a pretty fine agent myself.
[suspenseful music plays]
[crackling]
Cookies!
[crowd gasping]
Ooh-uh!
-Mm-mm. -Mm-mmm.
Hah-ha! This thing is amazing!
I'm definitely keeping it.
I don't think so.
Why?
The life powder doesn't last for long.
What?
[fizzing]
Uh-oh!
[Hansel and Gretel screaming]
Whoa-oh-oah!
Huh-uh!
Huh-uh! Mm.
-[Hansel sighing] -Let's go.
[grim instrumental music plays]
Do you agree to take as your wife,
in sickness and health,
to love, honor,
respect, and obey…
[crowd murmuring]
Huh? Oh! Get back here.
[Gretel grunting] Let me go! I need to save the king.
Wish someone had saved me when I was gettin' married.
-Hm. -What are we going to do?
We need to get closer, distract the guards.
How?
I don't know. You're the master of performances.
Make something up.
…let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.
[Gretel] He objects!
[suspenseful music plays]
Who objects?
[Hansel grunting] Let me go! This is…
-This is my mom! -[crowd gasps]
-Goodness! She has children? -[bouncy music]
Mommy, let's go home!
Daddy's been looking for you for four hours already.
-[crowd gasps] -She is married?
Take the impostor away.
Oh!
She doesn't love her children!
-Heartless woman. -Hm-uh!
[child crying] What a bad mommy!
[Hansel chuckling]
Go on.
Um… Now seal this marriage with a kiss.
Mmm.
[Ilvira chuckling]
Mmm.
-[boing] -[king yelping]
-Oh! Huh? -What?
What's going on?
Yes! We did it! [laughing]
I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.
Huh? Oof! Uh…
[Gretel gasping]
[suspenseful music plays]
[priest and butler gasping]
[fizzing and crackling]
Yes, I'm Ilvira, your beloved queen!
[crowd gasping]
Ilvira, we love you!
-Ilvira, we love you! -Ahh!
Ilvira, we love you!
-Your Majesty, are you all right? -[grunts]
What's going on?
The witch is trying to take hold of the kingdom.
Oh, yeah? Guards, get her!
Stop fooling around!
Huh? Huh--
Uh… Uhh?
Ilvira!
Why is no one obeying me?
I'm the king!
[laughing hysterically]
-I'm the king! -[sinister music plays]
Uh… The queen.
Now, they all love me!
You? The cook?
I'm the Head Chef,
and this is my kitchen now.
Get them and send them to the oven.
[grunting]
-[Hansel gasping] -Ya! Uh! Mm!
-[grunting] -[soldiers grunting]
Since I can't put an end to you, I will put a start to your love for me.
[Ilvira laughing hysterically]
Feed them with my cookies!
[Hansel and Gretel gasping]
Ilvira!
-That's it! Cookies! -[soldiers] Huh?
[Gretel grunting]
[Gretel] Hah!
[Gretel panting]
[soldiers grunting]
[Gretel] Uh! Mm!
[soldiers] Yah!
[soldier warbling]
-What is she up to? -Good job, sis.
[Hansel] We have an antidote.
Now, we can take the spell off everyone, and you are gonna pay.
Uhh?
Mm!
[Gretel and soldiers grunting]
[Gretel gasping]
Hm-mm.
Uh-huh?
If I were you, I wouldn't do that…
-my sweetheart. -[Hansel gasping]
Give me my bag, or I'll make cookies out of your brother.
Don't listen to her!
[Hansel] Save the kingdom. It's your duty.
[suspenseful music plays]
Uh…
[sighing]
Good girl.
[gasping]
[soldier speaking gibberish]
Pfft! Hm!
-[Hansel gasping] -[soldier] Hm!
Now, let him go.
With pleasure.
-See you later, alligator! -Ahhh!
[Ilvira laughing hysterically]
[both grunting]
Why did you do that? Do you have a plan?
No. I can't move!
[Ilvira laughing]
Uhh! Ahh! Ah!
So, kids, have you run out of tricks?
[Ilvira laughing]
Exactly! Tricks!
[gasping] Where did you get that?
Borrowed it from Agent Stepdaughter.
Oh, you…
[Gretel gasping] …have done really well.
Uh-huh! Oh, no, you don't!
[Ilvira grunting] Give it back to me.
Give it… no!
[Gretel gasps]
-[Ilvira screaming] -[splash]
[gasping]
Ah! Ahhh!
[soldiers gasping]
Uhh!
Oh!
Ooh!
-Agh! -[boing]
[soldiers gasping]
[music crescendos]
[bang]
[soldiers groaning]
Uhh! Huh?
[mechanical creaking]
[jazz music plays]
[Ilvira gasping] Why are you all standing around?
Get me out now!
Or I will send you all to the oven!
Ahhh!
[crackling]
[Ilvira screaming]
Uh?
Mommy.
[victorious music swells]
[fizzing and crackling]
[mechanical clanking]
[gasping]
[dance music plays]
[prime minister grunting]
Mm-hm!
-We did it! -Huh!
Thank you! Thank you both.
I don't even know how to show my gratitude.
You saved me.
You saved the kingdom and everyone!
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Secret handshake?
-Huh-huh! -Huh!
-Yah! -Huh!
Huh! Eee! Uh!
[both laughing]
Ooh!
Bring our agents the Brothers Grimm to me now.
Aye, ma'am.
[tinkling]
Brothers Grimm, from the Public Affairs Department, reporting as ordered, ma'am.
There are incredible rumors
about the witch who kidnapped the king going through the crowd.
We must write an official version of what happened,
something about two small children who went astray in the forest
and defeated the Gingerbread House Witch by some sort of miracle.
But not a single word about the king,
and especially not about our secret agency.
No worries, ma'am! We'll do our best!
-Agent Stepdaughter. -Everything is ready.
Are you sure it's safe?
Oh, sure. I've run all the tests.
-I used mice. -Huh?
-And… -[gulping]
…ta-da!
Whoa-oh-oah!
Ahhh!
[thrilling music plays]
[music swells]
Agent Gretel.
For saving the kingdom from the evil witch,
you are awarded the title of "Best Agent."
I'm happy to serve the kingdom, Your Majesty.
Ooh! Yay! Congrats, Gretel! I knew you could do it!
[cheering and applause]
[Stepdaughter] Good job! Good job! Hooray!
So, now you, Master Hansel,
are officially a Royal Magician of the 80th Level.
Wow!
[gentle music plays]
Thank you…
but, unfortunately, I can't do real magic.
Well, that is remarkable.
I always knew that, deep down, you were a decent man.
[Stepmother] Congratulations, Gretel.
You have succeeded and become the Best Agent of the Kingdom.
Thank you.
[Stepmother] And we have a task that would totally suit the Best Agent.
An evil sorceress has been terrorizing the whole area by the Enchanted Forest.
The suspect wears a red riding hood.
[Cookie panting] Huh?
[emotional music plays]
I'd be happy to, ma'am,
but I'm afraid I won't make it without my partner.
[music swells]
What?
But you always work alone!
Used to…
but now me and my brother are thick as thieves.
-I'm so proud of him. -Heh!
[Hansel coughing and laughing]
Let's party!
