- Cuckoo! Cuckoo! - Meow!
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Good heavens, it's 8!
I prepare dinner.
Yes, but in the meantime, can we make rhymes?
On what?
- On a cat. - "A cat who is hungry,
eats again, opens the fridge and finds"...
An egg!
"A cat's egg, the cat is hatching.
Slightly mad cat who hatchs eggs.
Run close, fly far, the egg breaks and it appears a"...
Seagull!
"Little heart of a tightrope walker.
For nothing in the world is he so happy as for that unexpected rain
Which brings the sun, which brings the wind."
This is a cute one!
In fact we keep this one.
"Which brings the sun, which brings the wind."
And now attention: a scary ending.
In the darkness, a thousand red eyes.
Rat eyes in the black of ditches.
In the city that sleeps and dreams are rising the rats!
Run away, children!
They go up, they go up from the guters.
Wild flocks, swarms of rats, ferocious rats...
- Which eats the cats! - Meow!
Lunch is ready!

I hate to say it, but that disgusting Big Rat is right.
In fact, those filthy ones get fatter and more numerous every day.
For all mice! There is such a sickening smell!
Silence, young man!
We cannot stand here and watch, we have to do something.
Right, Diderot?
Gravity mass x 3.14.
Considering the lever arm and hydraulic jack system...
- Terribly brilliant! - You understood? We must act!
- It's obvious, Zorba. - So?
What we're going to do, that is, what you're going to do, is get up there in the control cabin.
Press the red button to rotate the arm
the green one to lift the load, the yellow one to move it to the truck
and the purple one to drop it and make it fall on...
Yup! And then Super cat makes a carnage! I will cut their tails
and I'll break the snout of those rats! - Pallino, what are you doing here?
I'm here to help Zorba, grandfather.
Ha ha ha!
Oh!
Meow!
So Super cat, ready for action?
You go ahead.
I, Super cat, will defend your backs!
Ha ha!
- Come on, Secretary. - Me? Why me?
- Because you are a robust and courageous cat. - Yes, of course.
- But I'm allergic to waste. - Courage, young man!
Here we go.
Come on!
For all mice!
- And... And... - Which button should I press?
- Here you go! - Huh?
- It wasn't strong, it was a little sneeze. - Shut up!
- Meow! - Ah!
Push the buttons! Push the buttons!
Which one?
What does it do?
Oh!
- How am I managing? - I don't know!
What are the orders, chief?
That's enough, let's run away!
Everybody run away!
Retreat!
Super cat will transform them into meatballs!
- - No! - Oh oh!
They are running away!
- Everyone for himself! - Run, run!
Meow!
Got him!
Meow!
"He misses so much that rain."
"That rain that comes down from the sky and wets the sea."
Meow!
Pss! Zorba!
Ouch!
Good evening.
Allow me to introduce myself, miss.
My name is Colonel of the Harbor Cats.
Excuse us for the intrusion
but we were chased by those uncivilized rats.
- We also have a wounded. - Who, me?
The Colonel is exaggerating.
Ouch, meow!
- Pleased to meet you, Bubulina Siamese. - Eh eh.
My pleasure, I'm Zorba the cat.
Does it hurt you so much?
Hurt? No, it's nothing, I swear! Just a scratch.
Surely, they had to be really big.
Yes, huge!
Zorba smashed them all,
- but if I would have been there... - "If I was there", Pallino!
If I was there, I would have take that miserable Great Rat
slam it against the ship and then...
Bubulina, what are you doing?
Hide yourselves, quickly!
- Su, via, young man! - Come on, Pallino!
Who are you?
Bubulina, is this your boyfriend?
Aren't you a little too young for her, little wrinkle?
Bye!
Nina, come inside, it's about to rain!
I'll come right away, dad!
Run to your friends, it's about to rain.
I changed the poem about the seagulls, do you want to hear it?
"Their little heart, the same as the equilibrists
sighs for that silly rain
"which almost always brings the wind, which almost always brings the sun."
- It is without rhyme! - It has become a poem for grown-ups!
- It grew up and lost its rhyme. - It's a shame though.
Seagulls of the Frisian Islands on the right!
Prepare for the merger!
- Hi, where are you from? - The Baltic and you?
From nearby, I'm from the North Sea.
Faro Island.
I am returning home from my first migration.
Now I'll have to lay my egg. You know, my first egg!
Congratulations!
Being a mother is a beautiful experience, I am a happy dad.
- How rude! My name is Igor. - Hi, Igor.
My name is Kengah.
Hello, Colonel.
I heard that last night you beat them well!
Yes, surely.
- It didn't really go like that.. - Silence, young man.
Be proud.
Colonel, you have given them a good lesson!
It was from the time of the Second War of Independence from the dogs
that I didn't enjoy myself like that. - Hard times those!
The dogs were the masters and for us there were hard times!
Bau! Bau!
In those days we could not walk freely.
- Bau! Bau! - But one day we united
and we show them how to behave. Shut up!
The problem is that these days the young people don't care about it
Meow!
Meow! Meow!
Meow!
- Why he makes that noise, Grandpa? - I think it's just a little stomach ache.
- He's in love. - And it hurts that bad?
No.
- When a cat meets a female cat... - No more chattering, Secretary!
Do something useful, get a ration from your fishmonger friends.
Yes, sir, under orders!
Then it is for that thing that they then embrace
- and meow all night? - You know, here...
How do kittens make children?
Meow!
Do you also have the nerve to reappear?
Do you know what the rats did tonight?
They gnawed on two crates of cod.
Good for nothing, disappear!
How strange! What are those colored sheets on the ships?
Flags! Humans call them that.
Each flag corresponds to a nation
and to each nation a different language.
And how do humans understand each other when they talk?
Herring to starboard!
Come on, Kengah!
- Great right? - Never eaten such good fish!
- Let's get some more, Igor! - Come on!
Danger! Danger!
Oh!
What happens? I see everything black!
The sea is black too!
No!
That and oil, the human curse.
- I can't fly! - Come on, Kengah!
- The flock cannot wait! - I can not do it!
- Here we go! - I beg you!
Don't leave me here!
There is a way to save yourself from this curse.
Take as much air as you can and fill up to burst.
Then dive under, wash with clean water
and try to get out of the black lake.
You must do it! For your egg!
Kengah!
Meow!
Bravo, Zorba! You only come back to eat.
Where have you been all night?
- Meow! - What a crabby cat!
Did you have a fight with anyone?
- Meow! - Dear one!
Stay there, I'll bring you the food.
Puah! Puah!
Please don't eat me!
Don't eat me!
I beg you!
Eat you? It doesn't even cross my mind.
Ouch, how you stink! How did you reduce yourself like this?
I ended up in the black wave that humans unload into the sea.
- Petroleum? - Yes, and I feel I will die.
What are you saying?! You're just tired and dirty!
No, I can't do it!
This was my last flight.
Yuck, but it's disgusting!
Thanks, anyway my friend.
What does he say? Cats and seagulls have never been friends.
I can't do it, it will never come away.
I must go and seek some help.
Wait!
Wait...
With the last strength I have left I want to try to lay my egg.
- I have to ask you to make three promises. - Egg? Promises?
- Just forget it. - I am dying.
I can't wait any longer, please.
Okay, I promise, but what?
The first promise I ask you is not to eat the egg.
Agree.
Then promise me you'll take care of it until the baby is born.
And finally, please promise me you'll teach him to fly.
To fly?
I am a cat!
But you have a heart as big as a seagull's!
- Will you do what I asked you? - Okay, I promise you.
Now I'm going to get help.
Meow!
Grandpa, there's Zorba!
- Welcome, do you want to eat some? - There is no time, Colonel.
I need help and advice.
LIBRARY MUSEUM
Humans are really weird: they build new museums
and they leave such a beautiful one here in the city center.
The last humans with a bit of wisdom date back to the time of the Egyptians
who, worshiping the cat god, had built the pyramids.
- The sphinx, Colonel! - And what did I say? The sphinx!
What kind of humans are we dealing with?
Those of today treat us as if we were stupid dogs!
- Diderot! Diderot! - Terribly awful!
Those ignorant rats ate a page from the atlas!
- We lost Portugal. - We'll make them pay for that too,
but now we have another problem.
"G" as gabbiano (seagull).
What an irresistible invention the encyclopedia!
Every time I browse through it, I learn something new.
Grandpa, what is encipioleria?
It is called encyclopedia.
Sure, Pallino! It is called encyclopedia.
It is a large shop where pedal cycles are sold
bicycles, tricycles, cyclamen.
In fact it's the great book of knowledge, inside there are news of all things of the world.
Of the world, in fact. That's what I was meowing too.
Gabbare, gabbia (cage),
gabbiano (seagull)!
What does it say here?
"Its flesh is a little tough, but it's absolutely edible."
Awful... There is nothing written on how to clean it.
Dirty seagull, greasy seagull, stained seagull...
Brilliant!
I found!
Stain remover!
DIDEROT: Here, there are: "Stain remover, wet cloth
gasoline. We need some gasoline!"
We solved the problem, young man.
- Now we'll get gas. - I would like to know how!
We're cats, we can't go to the gas station
and ask for 20,000 super gasoline.
- 20,000 super. - Right away, sir.
- Meow. - Hey!
Meow! Meow!
Who are you? Poor, little one.
- Where's your mom? - Meow.
No, I beg you! Stop fuss about, go ahead!
- Why me? - Because you have the longest tail.
Meow.
- Meow! - Oh!
I was super like you, Zorba!
We deceived that stupid gas station attendant.
There is no one who could...
Let's hurry!
Damn, too late!
And and...
We should close her wings.
What does she do, is sleeping?
No, she flew to the sky.
- How come, she flew up there without using her wings? - You see...
An egg!
- Oh, my... Now what do I do with the egg? - A nice omelette.
- Omelette? - Is an excellent idea.
- The encyclopedia will tell us how it is prepared. - No, paws off! Don't touch it!
- I'd feel like a killer! - A killer?
- Zorba, don't tell me it's your first egg! - I demand an explanation, young man...
- why do you care so much about a seagull's egg? - Because I made a promise.
Secretary, what is he saying? What promises are you babbling about?
I promised not to eat the egg
to take care of the chick that will be born
and to teach him to fly.
He was so sick that... It's a sad story but you got yourself in a lot of trouble.
- Are you going to keep this commitment? - Zorba always keeps his promises.
Sure, but I don't know how to care for an egg.
If those stupid birds do it, we cats do it 10-3,000 times better.
Terribly simple: volume U, "egg" voice.
There is no need for the encyclopedia, here it is a question of brooding.
- What? - It's out of the question!
A cat don't brood, our dignity is at stake.
It's about the heating of the egg through the heat of the mother.
- Mother? Which mother? - You gotta lie on it
- slowly, otherwise it breaks. - It may be true, but I think it is very uncomfortable.
How long does it have to stay still in the nest?
I mean in the... I don't know where... For how long?
We will find out about in Diderot's encyclopedia and we will let you know.

My dear fellow cats
we are gathered here on this moonlight night to give our last farewell
to a young, unfortunate seagull.
She saddens us that she left us but above all we are so saddened
for how she left us,
killed by the madness of men who will one day destroy
the wild and wonderful world
that Mother Nature had given us.
Now let's meow to the moon the farewell song of us, the harbor cats.
Meow!
- Meow! - Meow!
Shut up, you fool!
Do you want they discover us?
They must have gone mad.
It's cold.
I wouldn't say, the temperature is above the seasonal average.
- This is freezing cold for me. - I do not think.
Excuse me.
- Is cold! - Ha ha ha!
A cat egg! We eat it, what do you say?
- Are you crazy? It will be poisonous. - Poisonous?
What do you think a cat egg would be like?
Meow.
If cats start laying eggs
it won't be long before they become chickens!
Ha ha ha!
I told you, Sire
that the treats would have heavy side effects.
The treats are the depravity of cats!
They are the way that will lead us to power and light!
What are you still doing here?
We have been waiting for your orders, Your Ratity.
Our orders are gone, spy and report to me!
Zorba, what are you playing with? Come on, let me see what you got there?
Zorba!
- What happens? - Egg... in... throat...
What do you want to tell me? Wait, let me understand.
Egg inside... oat
- Do you want to eat? - Egg in my throat!
Egg... Egg in the throat!
What a fun you are, Zorba! I didn't know you were so witty!
I found out how long the egg needs to hatch.
How long?
Only 20 days.
(By Jove) For all the cats in heaven, an eternity!
Hello... meow!
- Hey there! - What are you doing on the ground?
I thought I saw...
- Hi how are you? - Well and you? You never showed up again.
I am a busy cat, I have a lot of things to do.
Sorry, but I really have to go now.
- See you one of these days. - Is it true what cats are meowing around?
Are you really hatching a seagull egg?
Egg? Which egg?
Think what cats are inventing!
I was always indoors because I had a very bad cold.
- No! - What's up?
Oh no! What have I done?
- Mom! - What did you say?
Nothing. Sorry, Bobulina, but I'm busy now.
I am very busy.
Are you sure you're okay? Do you need something?
- No, I'm fine. - Bye!
Mom! Mom!
Mom, I'm hungry! I am hungry!
- It seems the cat-chicken was born. - We have to take it to the Big Rat.
- I am hungry! - Yes, that's fine.
- Now I'll get you, what are you eating? - Food, food!
Food!
I understand.
Food!
Here is your baby food.
Good, huh?
Ugh!
Baby food, baby food, baby food!
- I want the baby food! - Wait, I'll go see what I find.
- Now! - What if the fat guy comes back?
Oh!
Kitty, kitty, kitty!
Kitty, kitty, kitty.
It's coming!
A little more, closer. Like this!
Lee! Pappa, Pappa!
- Ah! - Grrr!
Mom, I'm hungry!
I want the baby food!
Food!
Mom, I'm hungry!
I want the baby food!
Good baby food! Good!
Mom, I'm hungry!
The fat guy does aerobics.
I'm so sleepy, mommy!
Little bird, I'm so sorry but I'm not your mom.
Of course you are!
You are the most sweet mom in the whole world.
- Zorba, where are you? - Mom, where I am?
Ah, you are here! Keep me company while I change the earth from the pots.
I needed a small pot for these violets.
Where did I put it?
Oh, here it is!
Zorba, how spiteful! But what's the matter with you today?
Meow!
- What do you do? - Want to break those, too?
- Meow! - What is it, Zorba? You're sick?
I got it, little devil! It's time for your treats.
Okay, now I'll bring them.
Stay here, I'll be right back.
Here you are.
Help!
- Help! Help, mom! - Zorba!
Help!
Grr!
They wanted to eat me, mommy!
We? What an idea!
We are vegetarians, lady!
"Lady"?
I was wrong, however you have a wonderful little son!
- I am sure It will become a great beautiful cat! - Yes, a great big cat!
It is not a cat, it is a seagull cub.
That's what I always say: seagull children are the best!
- Everyone would like to have one. - Yes, only seagull children!
Meow!
- Have a nice day, ma'am. - You too, little one.
You are the "most" strongest mom in the world.
Let's go home.
I need to find you a safer place.
A cat hatching a bird...
Madness, Your Majesty! Pure madness!
Madness?
Madness unleashed! Dementia! Good..
If cats have lost their minds
it is great news for us, we will give them a memorable lesson.
What if we...
Ha ha!
What are you still doing here?
- We. - Go back there.
- And watched their every move. - Move!
Faster, forward!
Here you are.
Look what a nice little bundle Zorba brought us.
- Congratulations, son! - He's a beautiful chick.
It's awful!
Meow!
Don't you find a certain resemblance to Zorba?
True, the same eyes. How much does the little one weigh?
- I don't know, I'm not his mother. - Who are these, Mom?
Mom! He called you mom!
What a cute chick!
They are my friends and we will stay here until you are older.
- As you want, mom! - "As you want, mom!". Ugh!
- What's your name? - I do not know.
- I didn't think about it. - You have to give it a name.
First we need to find out if it's a boy or a girl.
Letter S.
Meow, meow, meow!
- Meow! - Sssh!
Meow!
Serbatioio (Tank), serpentine, sesame, sex...
The encyclopedia says nothing about how the sex of seagulls is determined.
- Look at "seabirds". - I was saying that!
It takes the experience of a sea wolf or better of a sea cat.
Maybe even an expert on puppies like Rosa dei Venti.
I was saying it!
When will he stop taking the meowing out of my mouth (copy my words)?
Wind rose!
Report, sailor.
Body of a thousand marinated anchovies (For Pete sake!)!
- My friends! - We need to talk to you, Rose!
Let me dock and I'll arrive right away.
Mom, I'm hungry!
- What do you do in this situation? - Catch as many flies as you can!
For the soul of all crazed sea bass!(For Pete sake!) The matter must be serious.
Raising a seagull chick? You've got yourself in a lot of trouble!
But there is a solution: take him back to Zorba's house.
Let his human find him and she'll take care of making him grow.
- That's terribly reasonable! - It's true, it's true, but...
- I don't know, I'm not convinced. - What do you think, Zorba?
Me?
I think that...
It's nice to be a cat...
I get it, let me take a look.
- So? - For the wings of the flying fish!
- - It's a female chick! - A female? Congratulations!
He is ugly, he has a chicken brain and he is horrible, and female!
One day this young lady will lay lots of eggs
as much as the hairs you have on your tail. - How disgusting!
Now we can give him a name.
- Horrible one! - Pallino (Little Ball)!
- How about Snowball? - Mizzi is better.
- - Minù! - Princess!
- (Pagnottina) Little loaf! - We are really distracted!
All these are cat names while she is...
I am a cat.
I found it!
Since the seagull was lucky to fall under our protection
she could be called Fortunata (Lucky)!
I was about to meow it!
It is a beautiful name!
Fortunata is a cool cat name!

- Meow! - Meow!
Meow!
- Ha ha! - Ha ha!
Meow! Meow!
Now I'll open up for you, Bobulina.
- - Meow! Meow! - Stop this noise!
Come on, dad. We have to feed the cats.
- What cats? - Come on, move.
How does the cat-chicken react?
- He learns, Your Ratity. - And does it grow? Is it growing?
Oh yes yes yes, Rattity! He became round.
Excellent! Excellent!
Isn't it time to kick off your plan, sire?
Sure sure!
I want rats on guard in every corner of the city.
We'll have a nice chicken sausage.
Good, huh? They were really hungry!
- The young lady says well. - Oh, the little fish!
Come on, Fifi, come and eat.
Meow!
Look, dad!
- - What bird is it? - Meow!
A pigeon?
- Miaoo! - When the chicks are so little, I am not sure...
Sure, it sounds funny!
Here you are, little one. Do you like? Isn't that cute, dad?
- Yes and now let's go home. - Bye bye, kittens!
Now arrives the super cat!
He sprints on the right wing, discards all opponents.
Fifì frees himself in the center, feint left, enters the area.
- Let me play too! - It's mine.
- It's not yours! - Yes it is!
It's mine! Zorba gave it to me.
What happens?
- She started it! - No, it was him!
I don't care who started it, Fifì plays with her ball of yarn.
I'm very surprised at your behavior, son.
You start fighting over a ball of yarn
when are you old enough to hunt mice?
Pallino, if you want to play again...
I don't care about your stupid game.
It's easy to be a good sister when grownups are crazy about you.
- Pallino, but I... - You what, horrible one?
Do you know why Zorba and the others pamper and feed you?
Because they love me.
No, they want you pretty fat when they will eat you!
It is not true!
- Cats eat birds! - But I'm a cat.
And where do you have a mustache?
And the claws? And the tail?
You are not a cat, you are a bird exactly like them!
Oh!
We catch him!
"As long as you forget everything..."
6 X 7 = 44.
- 42! - Ah!
"You forget everything in the rain
in love with the twilight."
- 8 x 3 = 24. - Brava!
Our cat friends seem so silly to me.
They always think about food fighting with each other.
- Do I look like this to you too? - Sometimes yes.
And sometimes not.
You are... different.
In fact you are different too.
Yes, I am different
because I was lucky to have met two humans capable of understanding that every living being
has its own soul, thoughts, feelings.
Just about this I wanted to talk to you.
I have many feelings,
so many,
but the most important is how I feel when I am close to someone
- that I... - What you?
That I
I wish...
Zorba!
Come quickly to the museum!
- Why? - A terrible thing has happened!
Fifì ran away!
- Who saw her last? - I saw her.
She was fighting with Pallino about a ball of yarn and I made them stop.
- So, the last one who saw her is Pallino. - Pallino, what happened?
I don't know... She was the one that...
I didn't want to!
Really, I didn't want to!
I was mean...
So?
I said you wanted to eat her.
Come on, quickly, we have to find her!

How scared you are, little bird!
Great interpretation, but now come with us!
No!
Sniff, sniff!
I don't know, I just don't know. Difficult task.
I meant a bad thing, a big bad thing.
What is it, Pallino?
Let's attack them in the gutters and destroy them!
All in good time, young man! Your courage does you honor,
but in this case we must act with military cunning
strategy, tactics, careful moves, counter moves.
All right, but how?
Secretary, this is exactly what we are trying to understand.
I found!
- What? - The solution.
The encyclopedia suggests it to us, in the thirteenth volume, letter "O".
Like Omero (Homer), a great poet of antiquity.
In the Iliad there is the solution of our problems.
In other words?
Watch.
Not bad! Not bad at all!
- It's difficult, we are few. - No more chatter!
This is a war, all the cats in the city will play their role.
Quickly, there is no time to waste.
Come back here, you ugly cat thief!
Oh!
Sniff, sniff!
Here you go!
I ask myself again and again: "But why always me?"
- Thank you, Bobulina. You are great. - What do you want it to be?
I only did my duty.
If you see him, say hello to Zorba.
Next.
It's not fair, I want to come too.
Negative, my boy.
This is the most dangerous action we cats have ever attempted.
- Female cats and kittens have to stay at home. - But I'm great, you said so too!
- That's enough, orders are orders. - You are bad! Bad and ugly!
- For the landing craft, take it easy. - It must be big.
Rosa dei Venti takes care of it!
- When is the action? - Tonight.
For Pete's sake! (For all the angry whales!)
We'll show it to those gutter rats!
Run and crawl!
- Run and crawl! - Run and crawl!
Run and crawl!
- Run and crawl! - Run and crawl!
Run and crawl!
♪ We are the rats
♪ Nobody ever notice us
♪ We move at night, dark in the darkness
♪ His Majesty the Great Rat!
♪ The time we wait will come!
- Ha ha! - Hurray!
♪ Soon the whole city will be ours.
Rats, subjects of all the gutters
for some time our race has grown in number
in importance and I would say also in weight! - Yup!
- Mice, do you see this little chicken? - Yup!
He was raised by cats.
♪ We hate cats
♪ A little longer and we'll get out of here
And this shows us that the felines have now lost their reason.
♪ We will rise from the gutters
♪ Up above!
Ha ha!
♪ We will win and they won't stop us anymore!
♪ The world is ours at last
♪ We are not afraid of anything!
Before going outside
let's celebrate eating the succulent chicken!
No!
Let her go! Leave her alone!
♪ We are the mice
Leave her at once!
Woe to those who touch her!
♪ We are the mice
- Bring me that microbe. - Leave me!
Leave me!
Pallino! - Shut up, chicken sausage!
Respect her, understand? She is a cat!
Yes and I'm Snow White!
Ha ha ha!
Kill them!
Big Rat!
Your Majesty, historical news: cats give up.
As a sign of peace they send you a gift.
Bring it here!
♪ Grab and eat!
♪ Fill your belly!
♪ Grab and eat!

Today was supposed to be a big day
but the triumph is such that
today is a glorious day!

Ha ha!
Meow!
- Ooh! - Zorba!
What are you waiting for, herd of rabbits?
Attack!
Cat, I advise you to pay attention to your claw.
- Rat, watch your throat. - Here you go!
- Free my friends. - You can not.
Ah, no?
You can.
Release the microbe.
- Okay, the little chicken too. - Here you go!
- Quick, everyone on the barge. - Here you go!
Full speed ahead!
Drop the ballast!
How dare you? Dirty, slobbering!
Stinky!
Are you still thinking about what Pallino told you?
Yup.
And you are sad.
Pallino told you one thing true and one false.
It is true that cats eat birds, it is part of their nature
but we will never be able to eat you because we love you.
And we love you even more exactly because you are different from us.
I don't want to be different from you, I want to be a cat.
It makes us proud that you want to be like us
but it makes us even more proud that you are a beautiful seagull
and may you one day fly free in the sky
the way your mother flew.
The young one knows how to talk.
- He is a great cat. - He talks like he was reading.
You are not my real mom, are you Zorba?
No, Fifi. Your mom was a brave young seagull.
She was light, elegant and noble
like all creatures that know how to fly.
But I'm afraid of flying.
Flying is in your nature, Fifì. You mustn't be afraid.
When you are ready, I will be close to you.
I love you, Zorba. I love you all.
Speed the movement of support points A and B.
Joint extension C.
Joint extension D.
Lift point E.
Spread point F.
Wings at thirty beats per minute.
Flex to chest A and B
and take off!
Aah!
I fell.
Don't worry, you never fly on the first try,
let's try again.
Aah!
I'm good for nothing
- a good for nothing! - We're on our twenty-first try.
I can't understand.
I studied Leonardo da Vinci's machine in great detail.
I followed the instructions but...
If we continue with the failures, Fifì will no longer fly.
Why don't we experiment with a volunteer?
A volunteer!
Secretary, I like it! Cute heart and brave brain.
Oh, heaven! But why always me?
Meow!
Because you are the lightest and the most aerodynamic.
Make way!
Are you ready?
I'm rising!
- Hold on! - Hold on!
I am flying! I am flying!
The compass had gone mad, the waves were as high as buildings.
The storm had lasted for five days.
We didn't know if we were heading for land or the open sea.
So what did you do?
All the crew began to cry and pray
but just then, the helmsman saw three seagulls.
For barracuda teeth!
Those seagulls flew to land, we followed them and were safe.
Do seagulls fly even in the middle of the storm?
For the torpedo discharges!
They are the most robust birds in the universe.
Loud!
You are strong, huh?
- Looks like she wants to fly. - We've tried everything we can.
I have worn out the pages of the item " flight" and "wings".
It is the first time that the encyclopedia has ever failed me.
Maybe she has lived with us too long and now she can't do it anymore.
For the fin of the swordfish, let's not talk nonsense.
It is a seagull and the seagulls fly.
I promised her mother that she will fly and she will fly!
What if we blew her from a very high place?
I found... from the bell tower!
You have to go up there, where the bells are.
It is not possible, it is closed.
We, the cats, can't get there.
We need to reach out to someone outside the animal world.
- What would that be? - It would be humans, Zorba.
Out of the question!
Meowing the language of humans is absolutely forbidden!
Do you have any idea what humans would do to a talking cat?
- They'd lock him in a cage right away. - They would do their stupid medical tests.
They would put it in a zoo and use it in circuses
so that everyone can see him and laugh at him.
You are right. I am convinced that most humans are unable to accept the idea
that a being different than them can understand them and make themselves understood.
Meow! Meow!
And then even if we wanted to meow with a man
who do you think it could be... - My captain is a good person.
No, he is a man of the sea! It has nothing to do with flying.
The humans of the fish shop?
- They kicked Secretary. - It's true!
They are unworthy of this mission.
- Couldn't it be your human, Zorba? - No, she has heart problems.
If I talked to her, I would lose my human pet.
- It would take a superior human. - Someone decent can be found.
We need someone who can understand that all beings in the world...
have a soul, thoughts, feelings!
I have one like that!
- I knew it was wrong to let you in. - Ssh!
- What do you want to do? - Be silent and you will see.
Zorba, it is forbidden!
- Hi, Nina. - Where did you put my friends?
- How come are you talking? - Everything is possible in dreams.
This is a dream?
Yes, but I'm here to talk to you about something real.
There is a seagull that needs to fly and it can't.
Ah, the strange pigeon!
When you wake up, you will have to lead us to the tallest building in the city
the bell tower of San Michele.
The doors are locked and we don't know how to open them.
Don't worry, Mr. Cat. Dad goes up there every now and then at night
to think, he says.
He enters through a small door that is always open.
Thanks, Nina.
- Wait, what's your name? - Zorba.
- Zorba, but it's you! - Meow!
The cat of the dream!
Bubulina, do you understand what I'm saying too?
- Meow. - I always suspected that.
Let's go!
Be careful not to wake dad.
- How did you grow up! - This is Nina, she wants to help you.
Come here, little one. I am your friend.
I'm afraid, mom.
Fifì, I'm not your mother.
I'm afraid, dad.
But you want to fly, don't you?
Yup.
Look, you see the courtyard where you were born and there is the Diderot museum.
I'm so scared.
Gabbianella, I know you are afraid. I can't even look down.
Do not forget that you have wings and those who have wings do not fear heights
or whatever obstacles it may encounter.
If you have wings, there is nothing that can stop you.
You can fly up there, to the moon.
Fly, little seagull. Fly!
Do it for us cats, we've never flown.
Be the first flying cat.
- I love you, Zorba. - Me too, Fifì.
- Courage! - Fly!
Fly, little seagull!
Fly.
Hurray! Good!
Yup!
Majesty, the cat's daughter flies.
What's so extraordinary? We mice have been flying for thousands of centuries.
- Huh? - The bats, you piece of idiot!
