In a place full of mystery
Where the past comes alive
There's a hero of history
Who is ready to thrive
She is saving our future
By protecting our past
She's a hero Whose moment's arriving at last
Ridley Jones
Daring and bold and courageous
Ridley Jones
Guards the museum with pride
Ridley Jones
Her sense of adventure's contagious
With dinos and dodos And astronaut chimps by her side
Ridley Jones
Wearing her trademark fedora
Ridley Jones
No challenge can get in her way
She won't ever give into her fear She shines when adventure is near
Swinging into the fray And then saving the day
Ridley Jones
Don't look down!
That's really… deep!
Let's go, team!
Couldn't we have made sure Pedro was lost
before we risked life and wing?
Sorry, Dudley. The Lemurson kids say they saw Pedro chase his ball in here.
Good enough for me.
Maybe he already got his ball,
went home to his snuggly, and is waiting to tell us about it
so, we should go--
Dudley!
If anyone from the museum's in trouble, I'm here to save them.
I like that motto. We should get business cards.
Ridley!
Help!
Any of you afraid of the dark?
Don't worry. There should be a torch somewhere.
-Here. -Nice one, R Jones!
You know this place like I know the back of my horns.
Well, I have been at this protector training thing for a while now.
I've been constantly in danger for a while now too,
but I'm still not used to it.
I know that sound.
Everyone, run!
Stampede for your lives!
-I see a light up ahead! -Don't go towards it!
Wait. No, in this case, the light is good. Do go towards it!
Blast off, guys!
-Is she gonna make it? -Of course she is!
She's Ridley Jones!
Come hither, Ridley!
You're okay.
Hello?
Pedro!
Ridley, I'm sorry my ball rolled inside,
so then I followed it, but then I got lost.
Don't worry, we're coming!
Is it just me, or does this kid get himself into danger every other week?
Yeah, he does.
Let me handle this.
Wait.
Okay, new plan.
That walkway is too narrow.
There's no way I can dodge the arrows once I'm standing on it.
Ridley, not your hat.
It's your signature look!
-Are you and your ball ready to go home? -Yes, please.
Don't look back, okay?
-Tubular! -You did it!
Oh no! Your hat is ruined.
Hats can always be stitched up.
I'm just glad you're safe. Now, let's get out of here.
-Welcome back, Eyes Team. -Looks like one intense mission.
-It was! -But Ridley was out-of-this-world brave!
She even, like, messed up her bodacious hat to save Pedro.
Wow, that is big, but I'm not surprised.
I'm just glad you're safe.
It wasn't a humongous deal. I was able to sew it up in the field. See?
Passport, please, Miss Ridley Jones.
For leading a rescue mission, sacrificing something,
and for expert hat repair,
you get three stamps.
Which means…
I filled out my whole passport!
Mummazing!
Congratulations, Ridley.
I can't believe it!
After all that work, studying, adventuring,
I did it.
I did it!
That'll be one Compass Eye, please.
-The thing is-- -We can't just give you a Compass Eye.
It's a mysterious artifact that reveals itself to its protector
when it decides you're worthy.
When you've truly proven yourself, your passport will be your guide.
I'm sure it'll happen soon.
Just keep on protecting the museum like you have been.
Like the Jones women before you,
our Jones Compass Eyes are all connected, you know.
Okay, I just have to wait a little longer.
Even though I feel so ready, already.
Don't know how long I can wait To finally realize my fate
'Cause now the time is drawing near My Compass Eye will appear
Yeah, it's practically here
I've been so patient 'til now So come on, Eye, holy cow
I cannot take any more What else are you waiting for?
'Cause I know in my core that I'm ready
Ready to carry the load
Yes, I'm ready Let's get this show on the road
I've been pushing and waiting
Through all of the tests I've gone through
I have served and protected
So what else do I have to do?
How can I possibly prove myself to you?
Prove that I'm ready
I'm jumping out of my skin 'Cause I'm ready
Ready to finally begin
I'm ready
I know it deep in my heart That I'm ready
For this adventure to start
I'm ready!
How long is this Compass Eye stuff supposed to take?
I've been trying to prove myself all this time and still nothing.
I'm just worried.
Has it taken so much time for a protector to get their Compass Eye?
Not that I know of. It has been a long time, maybe too long.
It's not possible that
Ridley could be the first Jones woman not to become a protector?
Me, not worthy of a Compass Eye?
No, I have to be.
I can't give up without a fight.
Hot grits and gravy, Ridley!
You finally got your Compass Eye!
Two of them!
A little overkill if you ask me. But hey, that's great.
No, they aren't mine.
-I borrowed these from Mum and Grandma. -Why?
Because the Jones Compass Eyes are connected.
So, maybe there's a way to use these two to find mine.
Maybe, like, ask it for help.
Worth a try. Oh, wondrous Compass Eyes,
show me to…
my Compass Eye.
I know! Maybe you just need the right outfit.
Something that screams, "Museum protector!"
Nah, don't even sweat it. I'll track it down.
Compass Eye, where are you?
Come out, come out and be--
Dante!
I'm okay.
I'm completely stumped.
Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a museum protector.
Lonny! I found your badge in the cafeteria freezer again.
-You have to be more careful! -Mr. Peabody and Lonny!
They're still here?
-Everyone, get to your exhibits. -Keep it movin'!
-I could swear I heard mooing again. -You hear it too?
I think it's the fabled phantom cow that chews its cud in the night.
Hello! What's this?
I've never seen anything like these before.
They're beautiful.
So they must be worth a fortune.
Come on!
That was your evilest chuckle yet, sir.
Found my toolbox! It was also in the freezer.
Nothin' like a set of cool tools.
I can't tell how valuable these things are unless I open them--
Gimme that!
Pierce! Pierce, look.
The portal to the tundra is going all screwy.
My bird, you're right!
Val, thy portal has gone all… How do you say it
Kablooey!
Not even a scratch.
Now I know I need to open these up.
What's inside must be really valuable.
I know. Stand back!
What was that?
Warn me the next time you go swinging a sword around.
This isn't working, and it's getting pretty late.
Let's try again, first thing tomorrow.
I'll bring my power drill.
And a breakfast burrito.
They're both in the freezer.
Dude, did you, like, hear that?
The exhibits!
Something's making them open and close, and open and close, and open and--
-You get it. -I do. And it can't be good.
Are you guys okay? Something weird is going on.
Y'all better skedaddle!
The back wall to the Serengeti opened on its own,
and a whole bunch of wild animals are a-coming!
Stampede!
Ridley! The entrance to the Egyptian exhibit suddenly opened,
and a sandstorm came blowing into the museum!
Okay, team. We might not know what's causing all these problems,
but it's up to us to keep everyone safe.
We should split up to cover more ground. Eyes on three.
One, two…
Eyes!
Here we go.
Now reaching our destination: the Serengeti.
Is that…
A snowflake?
-Snowstorm? -Like, indoors?
The Arctic exhibit portal must be open too.
-That's where the snow is coming from. -We gotta close that door!
Hop on, D-bird.
Let's ride!
Dudley, you ready to fly?
Always! Wait, what?
-We did it? -Dude! Yes, dude!
Oh no! It's gotten worse.
Don't worry, my loyal subjects.
I command you to trust in me and Ridley.
Grab on!
Okay, now I command all of us to get out of here!
Run!
-Mum! Grandma! -Ridley, I am so glad you're safe!
What's happening to the exhibits?
Someone's messed with our Compass Eyes.
They control the magic that opens and closes the walls to the exhibits.
Both our Compass Eyes are missing, so we can't make it stop.
The Compass Eyes?
Do you know what happened to them?
I do.
I took them. I thought maybe they could help me find my Compass Eye.
But then I got distracted and lost track of them.
This is my fault.
No wonder my Compass Eye doesn't think I'm worthy.
Hey, we're gonna find them.
Until we do, we need to get everyone out of their exhibits and into the rotunda.
If the back wall is closed while someone is on the other side,
they'll never be able to return to the museum.
-Never? -You hold down the fort here.
Grandma and I will get everyone out in time.
Okay, you got it.
Everyone's confused and scared.
And by everyone, I mean me.
-Someone's gotta step up and be a leader. -And calm everyone down.
I know just who that someone is.
Me?
I don't think I'm…
Lady Ridley, pray tell, what is going on in the museum?
-We had to grab the kids and flee. -I'm scared.
Are we gonna be okely-dokely?
Well, see, we just have to…
I don't have any answers for you,
or a plan. I'm just not what you need right now.
You need a museum protector and that's just not me.
I'm sorry.
Eyes Team, I need you to take my place.
You can help Mum and Grandma, the real protectors,
take care of the museum.
-Wait, but-- -Ridley, no!
I've made up my mind. Okay?
Well, I used to believe
I heard destiny's call
When the time came along
I'd be ready to go Because I was brave and strong
But I guess I was wrong
They were counting on me
And I let them all down
Gave my very best shot
I felt ready to lead But I know I'm clearly not
I cannot deny I'm not ready
Now I finally see
I'm not ready
No, the leader they need isn't me
And it won't ever be
I'm not ready
I'm on the sidelines, where I belong.
I'm so not ready.
Somebody help me.
Please!
Oh no! Pedro!
Ridley!
Over here!
Charge!
-Hey, Ida! Pedro needs help! -No time, my lady.
Leading the butterflies onto the breach!
Mr. Lemurson, can you help Pedro?
I've gotta get my kids safe! Sorry, Ridley.
Please? Someone!
Pedro needs to be rescued.
Help!
I don't know if I can do it.
But of course I'll try. Hold on, Pedro, I'm coming.
It's getting worse. I'm gonna have to time my jump just right.
Whoa! Dudley, look out!
Ridley, what are you doing?
If you go in there, the back could close for good,
and you'll be trapped.
-Forever. -I know.
But I can't just leave Pedro in there all by himself.
You guys don't need me here.
You have two protectors, my mother and my grandmother.
-They're the best. -But so are you, Ridley.
Thanks, but I'm not a protector, it turns out.
I don't have what it takes.
If I don't make it back, tell everyone I love them.
And I love you too.
I know you usually think of me as the stoic type,
but please, come back, Ridley!
I'd miss you too much!
I'll miss you too,
but I have to go now.
Come on, open.
Open.
Can't watch.
Open!
Ridley, over here!
Hold on, Pedro. I'm coming!
Ridley!
Ridley, you came!
I did. And seriously, we've got to stop meeting like this.
I was scared. It was noisy in the museum,
so I came here to hide.
I understand wanting to hide.
Then this big branch fell on me.
But now you're here.
I know you can just lasso it up and get it off of me.
I don't have my rope. Or any of my gear.
I didn't deserve it.
Ridley, you're going to save me, right?
You better believe I am!
But I gotta do it soon or we're gonna get stuck here.
You can't do it?
I haven't even begun to try.
Not heavy enough.
I know!
Come on!
Here we go!
I'm free!
Thank you, Ridley Jones!
Oh no! We're gonna get stuck in here. I have to get you out!
Wait, she went in there? Why didn't you stop her?
I'm not as big and tough as you are, Fred.
Well, that's true. But still, this is bad.
The portal's already closed!
Wait! There she is!
-Go with the flow! -Bring it in for a landing!
The flashing's getting worse.
We don't have much time before it closes for good.
Pedro, tell my mum I love her.
Everyone else too.
But, Ridley, why don't you tell them yourself?
Oh, hey, Pedro.
No, Ridley!
No!
Mum!
Ridley!
Mum!
I know, baby. There must be some magic we don't know about yet.
We'll find it.
Someday.
Ridley told me to tell you
she loves you and she'll miss you.
All of you.
Ridley.
Mum.
Dante, Dudley, Ismat, Peaches,
I'll miss you all.
But I did what I had to do.
A map?
What is that?
Is it?
It is!
My Compass Eye! My very own Compass Eye!
I am a protector! Just like my mum and my grandma before me.
Mum.
Mum!
Come on.
-Mum! -Ridley!
Oh, Ridley!
Dreams do come true!
-You're back! -Welcome home.
The Jones women, together again.
The Jones women, museum protectors, together again.
-Your Compass Eye! You found it! -And it found you.
-Wow! -I can't believe it!
After I got Pedro back safely,
a map appeared in my passport.
It showed me where to find mine.
That was the ultimate act of selflessness.
The sign of a true protector.
Now, let's see if we can reverse this curse.
-I bow down to your greatness! -That was bisonic, Ridley!
Oh my! It's almost morning! Mr. Peabody will be here any minute.
-And everyone's scattered. -I got this.
But I'm gonna need--
Yeah, you are.
Back where it belongs.
Now, you're just missing one thing.
-Ridley, this is yours. -It is.
Thank you, guys, for keeping these safe.
Everyone, listen.
Mr. Peabody is on his way. We need you all to get back to your exhibits quickly!
-My compass! -My job is always…
"Do this, do that."
That glow!
I think I know where the other two are.
-What are you doing here? -We live here!
We're missing two artifacts. You haven't seen them, Mr. Peabody?
Fine! These are worthless anyway.
Couldn't even get them open to see what's inside.
Sometimes the power is in the eye of the beholder.
It's only a matter of time before I sell the museum anyway.
-Then I'll be rolling in dough. -What did you say?
What? I can't wait to…
to roll in the…
the snow!
See? I love to roll in the snow!
In recognition of her extreme bravery and selflessness
in the face of personal danger,
we hereby declare Ridley Jones
an official protector of the museum!
I couldn't have done this without my mother, my grandmother, and my friends.
I promise to protect and serve,
for as long as this museum is standing.
-I knew she was a natural. -You were right.
Our little Ridley, all grown up.
I'm ready!
