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 in to her fear
She shines when adventure is near
Swinging into the fray And then saving the day
Ridley Jones!
"Heart of the Museum."
Ridley to Eyes Team.
You call--
Dudley, she doesn't mean us.
Oh, right.
According to my map, the treasure is just up ahead.
-I'm gonna go it alone because… -Adventure is my middle name!
Oh, I guess by "up ahead,"
I meant across a really deep, dark pit.
Yeah, I've got this!
I found it. The Phoenix Ruby.
I did it!
I got the Phoenix Ruby.
-What's the clapping for? It's not real. -Got to support live theatre!
Ridley Jones, for your heroic actions
and for single-handedly finding the fabled Phoenix Ruby,
I award you the Bravery Medal of Bravery,
because you were brave.
-Nailed it. -Why, thank you.
Ridley, you are truly the hero of the museum!
Amazing!
And that's our show, folks.
Thank you for coming to see Ridley's Museum Adventure.
I've been your host and your hero, Ridley "Adventure" Jones!
Ridley!
Wow! It's signed Ridley "Adventure" Jones.
You're my hero.
Oh, no, I'm not your hero.
I'm everyone's hero!
Watch it. Excuse me. Sorry.
I just counted the ticket sales for your new show, and it's a smash hit!
I'm glad to hear the museum is doing so well.
I say we add two more shows and expand the set.
We'll just have to get rid of …
Oh, that useless exhibit.
Wait, Dudley's… I mean, the dodo exhibit?
Okay, if it's for the show.
Excellent!
The newfound success of the museum is all thanks to,
well, my brilliant business skills,
but also you, Ridley.
You're the hero of the museum.
I guess I am.
The museum needs a hero
Who is bold, and brash, and brave
An adventurous explorer
For the days When there's a day to save
A hero who can save us With her deeds of gallantry
Who on earth could that gutsy hero be?
Someone daring and audacious Someone plucky and tenacious
Well, the hero we've been seeking Seems to be
Me!
The stakes are high and rising Still, in danger's face I laugh
I look great on merchandising And my fans all want my autograph
With Ridley action figures Oh, her hat's so sparkly
See my name up in lights on that marquee
So courageous and undaunted
I'm the hero who you wanted
Who's the girl Who saves us single-handedly?
Me
Me!
Welcome to your new home, Dudley.
I liked my old home.
I know this new spot might not have as much foot traffic,
but at least it's close to the staff bathroom.
And the show has been a big success, and Mr. Peabody's happy.
Since when is that a good thing?
We already moved a bunch of other exhibits for your show.
What happened to the team?
Before, we saved the museum together.
Look, I didn't know I'd be so popular.
I mean, the show would be so popular. But the museum needs it.
And me.
I'm the museum's hero.
-Doesn't sound good. -The penguins.
Sounds like they need a hero!
Pedro, Mama Penguin, are you okay?
Ridley! Eyes Team. Thank goodness you're here.
Something awful is happening.
What is it?
We're turning to stone.
-What? -That sounds awful!
Not me!
But we don't know why this is happening. Please help us, Ridley!
It's raining butterflies!
Leave it to me. I've got this!
Dudley, check your airspace!
Dudley, I said I got it! You could have dropped it.
Oh, sorry. I just…
It's fine. Just hand it to me.
Carefully!
It's like they're all just normal, lifeless museum statues.
They can't move. Can't talk.
Can't stampede!
Being turned into a statue is my worst nightmare.
Except the one where I do the old soft shoe in my birthday suit.
-No feathers. -Ridley, you can save them. Right?
Sure. I mean, I am the hero of the museum.
That's not good.
-Mum. Grandma. -Ridley!
This is bad.
What is it? What's bad?
There's a problem with the Heart of the Museum.
If we don't fix it, it'll happen to all the museum.
-No! -This can't be happening.
"The Heart of the Museum"?
These are the journals that belonged to Great-Grandma Jones.
-Fabulous! -Great Grandma?
Here. The Heart of the Museum.
It's what creates the magic that brings the museum to life.
But it's losing its power.
If we don't fix it, everyone will be frozen forever.
What?
Just leave it to me, Ridley Jones.
-My middle name is Adventure-- -And the Eyes…
Oh, sorry. I thought we were doing our thing with the "Eyes on three."
I'll find out what's wrong with the Heart and fix it.
I am the hero of the museum.
Okay.
A secret vault?
It's where Great-Grandma Jones put the Heart to keep it safe.
She hid the keys in exhibits all around the museum.
But how do we find them?
A map charted by Great-Grandma Jones herself, of course.
Grandma and I need to keep the exhibits safe.
You can count on me. This will be a breeze for the hero of the museum.
Wait, Ridley!
"Eyes on three," remember?
Oh, actually, I'm gonna go alone. I can handle it by myself.
-Yeah, cool. -If you insist.
Are you sure?
Okay. I guess you can tag along. Watch a hero at work.
Now, come on. Our first stop is the pyramids.
Why do our adventures always have to be in a dark tunnel?
Or a dark cave? Or a dark tunnel that leads to a dark cave?
Dudley, I said I could handle this alone. You didn't have to come.
But I'm part of the team.
Then stay close to me. I'll protect you if anything goes down.
Speaking of down, does anyone else feel like they're kind of sinking?
Quicksand!
That happened fast!
Get it? Because it's called quicksand.
-Really? -I see solid ground up ahead.
And the key!
-Whoa! -Hot dog!
Everyone, keep going.
Oh! It's no use.
The sand is thicker than my grandma's molasses-dipped banana pudding.
We're sinking! Sinking!
I can save us! Just need to pull out my trusty rope and…
It broke. What happened?
That's a prop from the show. You can see the price tag!
Right. No, of course. Not a problem. I don't need it.
Give me a sec.
Nope! Can't wait.
Got it!
Everyone, grab on!
Pull them up. I can escape on my own.
Ridley! Let me help you!
But I'm the hero. I'm supposed to help you!
Ridley, this is no time for egos.
Oh, wait!
Good thinking!
-Righteous! -Nice, Princess.
That was a close one.
Sorry, team. I've been doing more autograph signing than adventuring lately.
I might be a little rusty.
Peaches to Eyes Team. Any of you think Ridley hasn't been herself lately?
Yeah! She normally loves being part of the team.
But now she wants to do everything herself.
No time to figure out what's wrong.
We have to find those keys, and fast.
-Find anything yet? -This queen can safely proclaim… no.
Houston, we have… nothing.
And nothing out here except for some cuddly starfish.
Which sounds cute, but…
Oh, hi, Mrs. S.
Oh, the bubbles weren't mine.
Hi, Dudley.
And hello there, team.
Thanks for lending us a fin. Any luck?
You asked Mrs. Sanchez to help?
Yes! All hands and flippers on deck.
A hero isn't supposed to need help.
Hold on one second and…
Yay!
I got it!
Ridley Jones, back in action.
Well, technically, Mrs. Sanchez was back in action. She found it.
Whoa, I'm feeling a little funny.
I've seen that look before.
Why does this keep happening?
I can't lose you, Mrs. Sanchez.
Always remember me for my beautiful singing voice.
Come on, there's still time to find the rest of the keys.
I thank you heartily for the invitation to join your adventures.
I don't need you, but…
We could sure use your bodacious knightly skills.
-Look! -There it is!
Another key. Ridley Jones to the rescue!
Don't worry. A trap like this is my specialty.
After all, I'm Ridley "Adventure" Jo…
-Are you okay? -Yep.
Guess I'm in shape for the show, but not real danger.
Fear not, Lady Ridley.
As a blacksmith, I am no stranger to fire.
Away!
That was royal!
I could have got it, but thanks for getting the key, Ida.
'Tis but a knight's honour. Zounds! My magic is draining away.
Ida, no!
Lady Ridley, I wish you good fortune.
-Oh no! -Ida!
Ida, I'm…
I'm sorry.
Okay. I know I've been off my game today, but we only have one more key to go.
We can do this and…
Pierce! Flo!
Oh, you were like family to me.
-The Lemursons? Lou! -They're all frozen!
I'm too late.
Dudes!
Sorry to interrupt the dramatic moment,
but something kind of not cool is happening to us.
Dante? Peaches!
Sorry to let you down, Ri-didley.
Oh, Dante, you didn't let me down.
I let this happen.
Sunshine, don't let this break your heart.
This is all my fault.
I was so caught up in playing the hero of the museum
that I stopped being a real hero.
And now I'm gonna lose everyone I've ever cared about.
No one likes a pity party more than I do.
Especially when said party is for me, but there's not much time.
Yup, let's saddle up and move out. We have one more key to find.
-There's still a chance we can save them. -Time to go!
You can do this without me. I'm the problem.
Ridley, we're a team. That means all of us.
We're already down a few members, so we need you. Like we always do.
-And you need us. -"Better together," that's what I say.
If I can help save my team and my best friends, I'll do it.
There's only one more key, and it's in this exhibit!
I've never seen it before.
It's not part of my kingdom.
-Never stomped there before. -Then we'll have to be ready for anything.
Wait. There's something we need to do first.
Eyes on three?
One, two…
Eyes!
Let's do this!
Oh, I forgot I was wearing this goofy show hat.
If only I had time to get my real hat.
I thought you might need a costume change.
Boy, do I!
Thanks, guys. I don't want to be Ridley "Adventure" Jones any more.
I just want to be me, Ridley.
Part of a team. Let's go!
This place is big!
And that's coming from someone whose house has 39 bathrooms.
How are we gonna find a tiny little key in there?
Don't worry. If we work as a team, we'll find it.
There it is!
Not a key!
-Not a key. -Dudley!
Caramel filling!
Your Royal Highness has your back, Dudley!
I'm going to crush this challenge.
Got it!
Ridley!
Dudley, are you okay?
In the "I didn't get smooshed" sense, yes, I'm okay.
In the "I can't move" sense, not so okay.
'Cause I can't move!
-No! -Dudley!
Dudley, I love you.
I love you too.
And don't worry, I knew I'd go the way of the dodo someday.
You guys are my best friends in the whole world,
and I'm losing you.
Ridley, you have to keep moving,
because I can't.
Oh, Fred, you're the strongest bison I know.
You're the strongest kid I know. This is the end of my trail.
Fred, wait, no. I have to tell you--
That you love me? I know. Keep your eyes on the mission, Princess.
There!
Let's do it together, Ismat.
Yes!
We got the final key. Let's hurry!
-Yee-haw! -Get along, little horsies!
-Thanks for the ride. -We'd help you anytime.
Even if it's the last thing we do.
Which I think it will be. We're goin'…
No time to say goodbye.
The box, we have to open it. We have to fix the heart.
Come on!
Yes! I got it.
Don't look at them. Look at me. We've got this.
You're right. Thanks, Ismat.
Whoa, it's the Heart of the Museum!
But it's not broken. I don't know what to fix.
Wait. Look how faint the light is.
Whatever the problem is, you can do this. You have to do this.
You're right. I don't know what I'd do without you, Ismat.
What should we try now?
Ismat? No!
No, I need more time. I need my friends.
My heart is broken.
My heart.
My heart is the museum's heart,
and my heart hasn't been in the right place.
I've been so busy making myself look good, I haven't been good to my friends.
I'm not the hero of the museum.
You are.
I thought that I was the hero we need
Thought flying solo Would somehow succeed
I guess I lost sight Of what's always been true
The hero's not me
The heroes are all of you
Such sacrifices the Eyes Team has made
Stood right beside me Through every crusade
So caring and selfless You all got me through
I'm not the star
The true stars are all of you
What brings this museum to life It would seem
It isn't one heart
It's the hearts of a team
I know I was wrong
Because all along
The heroes were all of you
And what would I do without you?
I'm sorry I didn't figure that out until it was too late.
Wait. The light.
I don't understand.
Ismat!
Ridley!
Oh yeah!
-Peaches! -Hiya, sunshine!
-Dante! -Ridley!
Fred!
Dudley?
Say something, little dude. Or honk something. Anything?
Am I here?
I was afraid to move.
Goofy dodo!
You're all right! I'm so glad.
Huzzah? Huzzah!
Ridley! Oh, baby, you did it!
-You saved the museum. -You're my hero.
I'm not though, Mum.
I didn't save the museum.
Ismat did.
And Fred, Ida, and Peaches,
and Mrs. Sanchez,
Dante, and Dudley.
It was a team effort.
It took me a while, but I finally realized
that the real Heart of the Museum is my team.
It's all of us.
When we're focused on the right things, our heart is strong.
That makes you a hero in my book.
Luckily, this museum is full of heroes.
I've never been so happy for a show to close.
Back home where you belong, the rotunda.
Close to the gift shop, the cafeteria, and the--
The people, mummies, animals,
and especially dinosaurs that love you.
Welcome home, Dudley.
The rotunda just wasn't the same without you.
-Thanks, everyone. It's good to be back. -And what's this?
-Mr. P's coming! -Hide!
-Excuse me! -Where are the souvenirs?
We decided to focus on the mission of the museum,
to educate a new generation of kids
so they can learn from history and listen to their hearts.
This show is cancelled.
You'll regret this, Joneses. I don't own this museum for love.
I own it for money.
And I'll make that money one way or another!
Take a bow, Mr. Peabody,
because your time in the spotlight is finished, and so is mine.
I knew liking you wasn't going to last. I'll be back!
Look! There she is!
Ridley "Adventure" Jones?
-My hero! -Hi, my name is just Ridley. Ridley Jones.
And the real heroes of this museum are our exhibits.
They are the true hearts of this museum.
-Oh, cool! -I want to see what's on the second floor!
Hey! Who turned on the lights? I was just about to hit the hay!
-Oh, hey, Lonny. -Hey, Dodo.
