The Incredible Shrinking Forest/Transcript

The following is a transcript from the thirteenth episode of Bambi's second season, "The Incredible Shrinking Forest".

Act 1
(Intro)

(Fades to a scene of the meadows of the Great Forest, with the title card showing for about 5 seconds. Zooming into the grass, we see a group of the worker ants, who are gathering fallen apples from the apple trees. Soon after they begin their return to the anthill, they are trampled on by Thumper, running through the meadows. Angrily mumbling incoherent gibberish, they retreat back to the apple trees to try again.)

(This triggers a Wile E Coyote-esque montage (that's 45 seconds long) of the ants' several attempts to retrieve their fruit, constantly being interrupted by Bambi and friends, unknowing of the harm they cause. After the last scene, the ants, steaming with rage, scamper off to the Anthill.)

(In the anthill lies a great city, the Ant Society. Contrasting from the calm, free style of the Great Forest, the Ant Society is a large functioning, very busy environment. In the Great Hall at the center of the city, the ants conduct a meeting about the troubles they have had. 3 worker ants bark to a Council of sorts.)

Worker Ant 1: We work hard, day after day, to get our society food.

Worker Ant 2: We threaten our LIVES to get it for us all.

Worker Ant 3: But what do we get in return?

All 3: TRAMPLED!

Council Ant: Simmer down, simmer down. I understand we've had a large loss of food and suppli-

Science Ant: Yes, we have been at a loss off general supplies needed for life at a substantial, EXPONENTIAL rate.

(Silence)

Worker Ant 1: In English?

Science Ant: Problem. Big problem.

(The council ant pushes the scientist away.)

Council Ant: Anyhow; I see only one way to get our troubles to stop. We will seek the magic of the alchemists, they will know what to do.

(The ants seek out the Alchemist Ants, who provide a plan to potentially shrink the forest animals and teach them a proper lesson. However, it requires the workers to go and retrieve specific items needed for the spell.)

Alchemist Ant: We will need branches fallen from the trees, blades of grass from the meadows, and 1 stem plucked from an apple.

(An odd request, but one the workers needed to accept. They did what was asked, and soon the spell would be ready. However, the spell is too big for the ants. They bicker about how they would be too small to enact a spell that's large, when the Alchemist stops them.)

Alchemist Ant: I always have a plan. Luckily, one of the hunters out on the surface left a magnifying glass behind yesterday. We will use it, projected towards the sun and the meadows, to spread the spell through to the animals.

(After setting it up, the spell is enacted and the animals who are playing around in the meadow, stopped playing as they begin to shrink.)

Bambi: Thumper, is the grass getting taller?

Thumper: Either that, or we're gettin' SMALLER!

(Soon enough Bambi, Thumper, and friends are reduced to the size of ants, and are apprehended by worker ants, who then throw them into the anthill.)
