Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChunky the "Macawnivore" started out as a bit of a joke in the art department. Artist Leighton Hickman was bored with the drab colors intended for creatures in the desert scenes, and painted the saber-tooth tiger with bright "parrot" colors. The filmmakers liked the look for the "Macawnivore" so much that it made it to the final film.
- GoofsDuring the second scene with the Punch Monkeys, when Guy hands one a banana, the monkey's fingers pass through the banana when he squeezes it.
- Quotes
Guy: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful tiger. She lived in a cave with the rest of her family. Her father and mother told her: "You may go anywhere you want, but never go near the cliff, for you could fall."
Grug: And die. Good story.
[the others start to leave but Guy goes on and they sit back down]
Guy: But when no one was looking, she'd go near the cliff, for the closer she came to the edge, the more could she hear, the more could she see, the more she could feel. Finally, she stood at the very edge. She saw a light. She leaned out to touch it... and she slipped.
Grug: And she fell.
Guy: And she *flew.*
[the others gasp]
Thunk: Where did she fly?
Guy: Tomorrow.
Eep: Tomorrow?
Guy: A place with more suns in the sky than you can count.
Thunk: It would be so bright!
Guy: A place not like today, or yesterday. A place where things are better.
Grug: Tomorrow isn't a place. It's... it's... Ugh! You can't see it!
Guy: Oh, yes, yes it is. I've seen it. That's where I'm going.
