1
00:00:25,041 --> 00:00:28,714
Firework enthusiast
2
00:00:34,546 --> 00:00:35,159
- No,
3
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,393
I don't want to go!
4
00:00:37,373 --> 00:00:39,733
- Come on Lupin, we said we'd go together!
5
00:00:39,768 --> 00:00:43,973
Preparation of fireworks aren't something
you see every day!
6
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,200
Tell him, Belfort!
7
00:00:45,453 --> 00:00:49,005
- Yes, Louis, my master,
loves fireworks so much.
8
00:00:49,606 --> 00:00:55,857
Lupin, aren't you curious to know how this
magnificent display of color and light is made?
9
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,423
- Not at all, no!
10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,193
I don't like fireworks.
11
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:04,541
Booms make you jump, they break your ears,
they make smoke that stinks and they clog your nose!
12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,731
- Well, we're off.
Come along Artus.
13
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,640
- Enjoy the party!
14
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,120
But be careful, don't get too close.
15
00:01:13,313 --> 00:01:15,358
Fireworks can be dangerous.
16
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:17,650
- Don't worry!
We know what we're doing.
17
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:20,192
- Hey Artus, first one there's a sissy.
Note: Yes, he says that. It's to show how stupid they are.
18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920
- I hope they don't do anything stupid.
19
00:01:25,046 --> 00:01:27,166
- Relax, everything's fine.
20
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:30,631
Come on, I've got to show you
something really cool.
21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,605
- Are you sure, my dear Lupin?
22
00:01:36,753 --> 00:01:38,313
It's a strange sensation.
23
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,806
Oh! But not unpleasant.
- You see?
24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,720
It's the best tree for
scratching your back.
25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
And believe me, I've tried loads of them.
26
00:01:49,687 --> 00:01:51,847
- Ah yes, there it is, right there!
27
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320
That's Madame Rosa having
trouble digesting her peanuts again.
28
00:01:59,539 --> 00:02:01,821
- It looked like a test
fire for the fireworks.
29
00:02:02,135 --> 00:02:03,315
- Maybe it was.
30
00:02:03,522 --> 00:02:08,029
Right, ok... My turn now!
Oh, it's just right!
31
00:02:08,409 --> 00:02:10,770
There's no denying
life's simple pleasures...
32
00:02:10,973 --> 00:02:14,713
I could spend my days doing this!
Oh! There's Artus!
33
00:02:15,839 --> 00:02:17,639
- Well, what's he doing?
34
00:02:17,766 --> 00:02:19,592
- And why isn't Marcus with him?
35
00:02:20,966 --> 00:02:22,684
All this tells me nothing worthwhile.
36
00:02:25,301 --> 00:02:26,040
Artus!
37
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,585
Are you all right?
38
00:02:29,552 --> 00:02:30,729
- Where's Marcus?
39
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,880
- Marcus! Marcus!
40
00:02:33,438 --> 00:02:36,118
Sorry, I don't know any Artus or Marcus.
41
00:02:36,498 --> 00:02:39,571
And who are you, anyway?
Have we been introduced?
42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,560
- Uh, well...
43
00:02:41,606 --> 00:02:44,259
My name is Belfort.
- And I'm Lupin.
44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Artus, we're buddies.
45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,919
- I don't think we are.
But it's nice to meet you.
46
00:02:50,976 --> 00:02:51,973
- Come on, Artus!
47
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,120
We spoke 2 minutes ago!
48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,919
- You must have me
confused with someone else.
49
00:02:56,973 --> 00:02:59,275
Goodbye, gentlemen, and have a nice day.
50
00:03:00,494 --> 00:03:04,821
- Has he lost his memory?
- Er... Yeah, but what about Marcus?
51
00:03:05,164 --> 00:03:07,931
If he's not with Artus,
something must have happened.
52
00:03:07,971 --> 00:03:08,311
Follow me.
53
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:15,840
- Artus!
- I don't know any Artus!
54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,916
On the other hand, I have the
impression I've met you before.
55
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:22,693
- Yes, here in Versailles.
- Versailles?
56
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000
What is it? Can you eat it?
57
00:03:28,882 --> 00:03:31,597
- My dear Lupin, why
don't you go and sniff Artus?
58
00:03:31,806 --> 00:03:35,356
Maybe you'll find a scent in his
feathers, a lead, to find Marcus.
59
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,407
- God idea, I'll do that.
60
00:03:39,967 --> 00:03:40,686
- Hey!
61
00:03:40,834 --> 00:03:42,600
What the hell are you doing?
62
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,677
Stop it, that tickles!
63
00:03:44,873 --> 00:03:48,247
- Can you smell something?
- I smell something burning, Belfort.
64
00:03:48,294 --> 00:03:51,417
I mean, it smells like burnt, like smoke.
- Burnt?
65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,392
Now that's disturbing!
66
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,769
- Wait, I've got a lead!
67
00:03:57,584 --> 00:04:00,237
- Hey, your friend's not clean.
68
00:04:00,299 --> 00:04:02,310
- You think you have Marcus scent?
69
00:04:16,023 --> 00:04:18,360
- The burnt smell comes from the sky.
70
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,072
But the trail stops
here because I can't fly.
71
00:04:23,292 --> 00:04:25,641
- But if the burning smell is
coming from the air,
72
00:04:26,039 --> 00:04:30,795
it must be what we heard earlier,
the fireworks test shot.
73
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,574
- Yeah!
I think you're right.
74
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,100
- I hope nothing serious
has happened to Marcus.
75
00:04:36,139 --> 00:04:38,829
- Hey, sparrow birdbrain, you really
don't remember anything?
76
00:04:38,873 --> 00:04:41,954
- Me, a sparrow?
You're mistaking, I'm a golden eagle!
77
00:04:42,368 --> 00:04:42,742
What ?
78
00:04:43,026 --> 00:04:45,201
- How dare you insult me like that?
79
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,829
By the way, I'm going to accompany
you, as you might need my protection.
80
00:04:49,979 --> 00:04:54,345
Nature's a dangerous
place for little cute rabbits.
81
00:04:55,456 --> 00:04:58,126
- What are you
talking about? We're not rabbits.
82
00:04:58,253 --> 00:05:00,933
I'm a wolf and Belfort is a...
83
00:05:00,973 --> 00:05:05,042
- A wolf, really?
That's the best part. Very funny.
84
00:05:05,778 --> 00:05:08,687
You're too nice to be a wolf.
You can believe me.
85
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,574
You're little rabbits and that's
nothing to be ashamed of.
86
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:13,839
- Yeah, right...
87
00:05:16,186 --> 00:05:21,107
Apollo's basin, this is where
fireworks are usually set off.
88
00:05:21,347 --> 00:05:22,804
- But there's nothing here.
89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,334
Maybe they've changed the location.
90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,119
It wouldn't surprise me.
Humans love to change things.
91
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
- You're right. It's possible.
92
00:05:33,613 --> 00:05:35,560
- Where did Artus go?
93
00:05:38,014 --> 00:05:40,047
No, but you've got to be kidding me...
94
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,600
If you're a golden eagle,
then I'm an African elephant.
95
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:46,880
- Hi Marcel...
96
00:05:47,393 --> 00:05:51,005
and the other Marcel.
Have you seen a fireworks display around here?
97
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:53,930
- Yes, but you're too late.
98
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,456
The show's long over.
99
00:05:57,166 --> 00:06:01,366
- You call that a show?
It was too short this year.
100
00:06:01,546 --> 00:06:04,507
- Yes, one lousy rocket, and nothing else!
101
00:06:04,873 --> 00:06:06,682
- It wasn't really the fireworks,
102
00:06:06,771 --> 00:06:09,971
it was just a test shot.
A test, if you like.
103
00:06:10,466 --> 00:06:12,405
Do you know where this rocket came from?
104
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:14,775
It would help us find Marcus.
105
00:06:14,953 --> 00:06:19,139
Yes, we saw it.
It came from over there.
106
00:06:19,219 --> 00:06:22,039
- What are you talking about,
it came from the north.
107
00:06:22,159 --> 00:06:26,187
- No, it came from the west!
Make an appointment for your eyes.
108
00:06:26,454 --> 00:06:28,800
- Oh... Why can't it ever be easy?
109
00:06:28,886 --> 00:06:34,597
- Don't listen to them, because it's well known
that our elephant friends have no sense of direction.
110
00:06:34,824 --> 00:06:36,636
In addition, they're afraid of mice.
111
00:06:37,273 --> 00:06:41,899
- Mice... Of course! Let's go see...
- Gazette.
112
00:06:42,253 --> 00:06:44,668
He was going to say Gazette.
I knew it.
113
00:06:45,066 --> 00:06:47,881
Yippee.
Come on, everybody back to the castle.
114
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
- If anyone knows about
tonight's fireworks,
115
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,046
it's Gazette.
All clear. Let's go !
116
00:07:03,117 --> 00:07:05,817
Why do they always wax
the floor when I come?
117
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,860
- Poor little rabbit...
- You know what the little rabbit says?
118
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680
- What a beautiful golden eagle I am!
119
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,046
- We must hurry.
120
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,172
You can't be seen here.
121
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,004
- That low-down wolf again!
You don't belong here, go away!
122
00:07:34,463 --> 00:07:35,386
- Greetings to you
123
00:07:35,446 --> 00:07:36,681
too, Mr Chevalier.
124
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:40,128
Don't worry, we won't stay long.
125
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,800
- I've never seen such
gorgeous plumage on a hen!
126
00:07:45,993 --> 00:07:47,857
- What do you mean, a hen?
127
00:07:48,039 --> 00:07:49,408
I'm not a hen!
128
00:07:50,193 --> 00:07:54,202
- Come on, I know a hen when I see one!
129
00:07:54,362 --> 00:07:55,780
You're hot.
130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,701
- Gazette! Gazette!
131
00:07:57,755 --> 00:08:01,485
- Belfort, Lupin, how nice to see you.
132
00:08:01,618 --> 00:08:04,200
- Yeah, same here.
- We need your help.
133
00:08:04,460 --> 00:08:05,380
Marcus is missing.
134
00:08:06,117 --> 00:08:09,805
- How awful!
Poor Marcus. And poor Artus.
135
00:08:09,902 --> 00:08:11,735
- You have beautiful eyes, you know.
136
00:08:12,355 --> 00:08:17,140
- Artus has gone a bit crazy.
He doesn't even remember his best friend.
137
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,352
Just imagine!
Belfort, what if it happened to us?
138
00:08:23,155 --> 00:08:26,157
- Don't despair,
I'm sure everything will work out.
139
00:08:26,383 --> 00:08:30,920
Gazette, do you know where the test rocket
was fired from? The one we heard earlier.
140
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,133
- Please come with me.
141
00:08:34,437 --> 00:08:35,080
Come on!
142
00:08:39,212 --> 00:08:46,756
- Well, you certainly have beautiful colors, but admire
how my warbling match my golden eagle plumage.
143
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:47,139
- Artus!
144
00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:49,706
We're on the move!
- Yes, my rabbit. I'm coming.
145
00:08:50,518 --> 00:08:54,029
This hen thinks she's a parakeet,
can you believe it?
146
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:06,124
- This is the office of the scientist
in charge of all fireworks at Versailles.
147
00:09:06,484 --> 00:09:07,000
- Artus!
148
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,483
Be careful not to break anything.
149
00:09:09,517 --> 00:09:12,223
- It's very exciting.
Have a look!
150
00:09:12,894 --> 00:09:17,140
Fireworks are made from black powder
and pigments,
151
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,892
this mixture is put into paper tubes, the
wick is lit, then you step back and boom!
152
00:09:25,633 --> 00:09:26,799
- Ah, no, no!
153
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:27,893
No boom!
154
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:29,851
No boom!
Zero boom.
155
00:09:30,318 --> 00:09:31,038
Boom, no!
156
00:09:31,146 --> 00:09:33,399
- Lupin doesn't really like fireworks.
157
00:09:33,424 --> 00:09:37,432
- I don't blame you. They're
noisy and can be dangerous.
158
00:09:37,465 --> 00:09:42,057
But if the powders or the fuse
get wet, the rocket is unusable.
159
00:09:42,166 --> 00:09:45,631
- That's why we never set
off fireworks when it's raining.
160
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,775
Oh! It's Louis' handwriting, my master!
161
00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:50,463
- A message from the king!
162
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,230
- It says: "The fireworks shall
be fired from the Apollon fountain.
163
00:09:57,074 --> 00:10:01,738
While the king and court will
observe it from the water parterre."
164
00:10:02,065 --> 00:10:03,053
The usual!
165
00:10:03,206 --> 00:10:06,454
- We came from Apollo's
basin and saw nothing.
166
00:10:06,934 --> 00:10:09,091
- That's very strange.
167
00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:10,759
Quickly!
168
00:10:10,886 --> 00:10:12,041
Someone's coming, hide!
169
00:10:14,132 --> 00:10:17,886
Artus, what are you doing?
You've got to hide, quick!
170
00:10:23,893 --> 00:10:25,126
- Ah, here he is.
171
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,453
How could you forget
the fireworks launch plan?
172
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:34,839
Well, all's well that ends well.
Let's get back to the workshop.
173
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:45,927
- Cuckoo!
174
00:10:49,572 --> 00:10:52,300
Hello there. Aren't you His Majesty's dog?
175
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,880
What are you doing here?
176
00:10:54,126 --> 00:10:58,760
Oh, well... I'd stay and play
with you, but we've got work to do.
177
00:10:59,006 --> 00:11:00,035
Let's go.
178
00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:03,204
- You can come out now.
179
00:11:04,047 --> 00:11:05,509
Thanks for your help, Gazette.
180
00:11:05,689 --> 00:11:07,055
- You're welcome, folks.
181
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:12,303
- Nice to meet you. You're
very helpful, for a goat.
182
00:11:12,477 --> 00:11:14,120
- Uh... Long story.
183
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,679
- Let's follow M. Villette,
he'll take us to the fireworks.
184
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:19,800
- And Marcus?
185
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800
- Let's hope so, my dear Lupin.
186
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:38,018
- You, be careful with the powder,
only put in the dose you need.
187
00:11:38,251 --> 00:11:40,328
Hop hop hop, enough wasted time.
188
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,488
- YES SIR.
189
00:11:42,861 --> 00:11:43,760
- That explains it!
190
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,629
Humans are still making rockets,
that's why there's nothing at Apollo Basin.
191
00:11:50,386 --> 00:11:53,958
- It still smells burnt.
Like an Artus's feathers.
192
00:11:54,018 --> 00:11:56,971
- It must be the smell of the
gunpowder Gazette was talking about.
193
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,849
Lupin, can you smell Marcus around?
194
00:12:02,423 --> 00:12:02,926
- No !
195
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,720
This black powder smells too
strong and masks the other smells.
196
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,215
We'd have to get closer, but it's
risky, with all those humans around.
197
00:12:11,395 --> 00:12:13,848
- Golden eagle to the rescue,
my little rabbit!
198
00:12:14,301 --> 00:12:16,369
Request for reconnaissance
flight authorization.
199
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,845
Eagles, we know a thing or
two about reconnaissance.
200
00:12:19,506 --> 00:12:22,199
But what does he look like, Marcus?
201
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,719
- He looks just like you.
202
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,535
- I'll find him in no
time! We're in business!
203
00:12:38,326 --> 00:12:41,369
Negative! Apart from me,
there's not a golden eagle in sight.
204
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
- All right, that's it! I'm on it.
205
00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:53,632
Marcus! Marcus!
206
00:12:56,739 --> 00:12:57,485
Marcus.
207
00:13:00,906 --> 00:13:01,526
- Belfort!
208
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,880
What are you doing here? No, no, no, no, no!
Animals aren't allowed here.
209
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,945
It's too dangerous. Go away!
210
00:13:11,397 --> 00:13:12,678
- I found Marcus.
211
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,943
I think he's in a rocket, asleep.
212
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,070
- What?
213
00:13:20,952 --> 00:13:22,133
- He's in one of the rockets.
214
00:13:22,172 --> 00:13:22,603
Right there!
215
00:13:22,796 --> 00:13:26,583
- But how did this birdbrain
end up in a rocket?
216
00:13:29,646 --> 00:13:33,613
- Again?! That's the 2nd rocket
you've wasted by accident!
217
00:13:33,873 --> 00:13:38,028
How will I look in front of the king if his fireworks
go up in smoke before the scheduled time?
218
00:13:39,234 --> 00:13:41,040
- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
219
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,567
- Oh yes, I am!
220
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,470
However, I don't dare believe it.
It's just... incredible.
221
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,497
- We're talking about Artus and Marcus here,
there's nothing incredible about it.
222
00:13:49,616 --> 00:13:53,796
Trust me, if Marcus is in that rocket,
it's because he fell in,
223
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,320
without the humans seeing him.
224
00:13:57,799 --> 00:13:59,279
- If he fell in the rocket,
225
00:13:59,304 --> 00:14:02,375
it's because he had to
fall in it from the sky!
226
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,559
- And fell from the sky,
227
00:14:03,584 --> 00:14:05,723
because it must have been hit in mid-air.
228
00:14:05,866 --> 00:14:07,010
- By the 1st rocket
229
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:08,475
which was fired by accident!
230
00:14:10,366 --> 00:14:12,759
- And that's why Artus lost his memory.
231
00:14:12,826 --> 00:14:14,186
Because of the shock.
232
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:18,217
- But it's all becoming clear!
233
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:22,233
- Coming from those two
knuckleheads, I wouldn't be surprised.
234
00:14:22,333 --> 00:14:26,253
- We need a plan to get Marcus
out of this rocket, and fast!
235
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Before the fireworks start.
236
00:14:28,446 --> 00:14:29,744
- It's getting dark,
237
00:14:29,785 --> 00:14:30,998
come on, it's time.
238
00:14:31,419 --> 00:14:35,194
Meet me at Apollo's fountain to
set up the rockets. And fast.
239
00:14:35,413 --> 00:14:36,253
- YES, SIR.
240
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:42,164
- Don't forget to put the powder
away, so it doesn't get wet if it rains.
241
00:14:42,233 --> 00:14:43,184
- YES, SIR.
242
00:14:47,315 --> 00:14:48,952
- I think we'll drop the plans.
243
00:14:49,145 --> 00:14:50,638
Time to improvise.
Let's go!
244
00:14:51,139 --> 00:14:53,258
I'll create a diversion,
you get the rocket.
245
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,943
- And what do I do, rabbits?
246
00:14:57,722 --> 00:15:00,067
No problem, I'll take
care of the dromedary.
247
00:15:11,783 --> 00:15:12,336
- Boo.
248
00:15:14,716 --> 00:15:16,266
A wolf! Help!
249
00:15:17,062 --> 00:15:19,602
- Uh-oh, we're stopping, if you don't mind.
250
00:15:21,731 --> 00:15:23,631
- Hi Lupin. What's up, baby?
251
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,913
- Just fine. Your move, Belfort.
252
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,997
- Hurry, M. Villette could be back
any second.
253
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,562
- Marcus! Marcus!
Where are you?
254
00:15:34,777 --> 00:15:36,787
- Listen to me, dromedary,
don't you dare move!
255
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,209
The golden eagle is watching
you and I'm watching you!
256
00:15:39,234 --> 00:15:40,255
- Hurry up!
257
00:15:43,593 --> 00:15:46,402
- Hey rabbits, don't just stand there!
258
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,960
- Marcus.
- Hey rabbits!
259
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,862
Have your big ears stopped working?
260
00:15:57,948 --> 00:16:00,020
- We shouldn't hang around here!
- I guess you're right.
261
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:02,086
You go, I'll find Marcus.
262
00:16:02,111 --> 00:16:02,544
- Bye!
263
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,526
- Mr. Villette, that's not a wolf,
it's Belfort, Her Majesty's dog.
264
00:16:16,345 --> 00:16:17,145
- Belfort?
265
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,604
What are you doing here?
266
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,187
Come down and stay away from the rockets!
267
00:16:23,853 --> 00:16:25,119
It's dangerous!
268
00:16:25,959 --> 00:16:27,146
We've wasted enough time!
269
00:16:28,593 --> 00:16:31,320
The sun's about to set, let's go!
270
00:16:35,593 --> 00:16:37,951
- Good heavens!
Marcus is eluding us again!
271
00:16:38,092 --> 00:16:41,841
- I think we're going to need reinforcements.
- Good idea.
272
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,698
You and Artus delay the humans, save time.
273
00:16:44,986 --> 00:16:46,618
I'm off to the menagerie.
274
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,241
- Les Marcel, we need you.
It's an emergency.
275
00:16:59,664 --> 00:17:04,032
- Elephants! You hear the rabbit!
Let's move it!
276
00:17:07,673 --> 00:17:10,649
- There are lots of swans
on the shooting range.
277
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,880
- What's wrong with everyone today?
278
00:17:14,126 --> 00:17:14,640
- Help!
279
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:19,684
- Go and chase away those
damn birds, in the name of the king!
280
00:17:20,564 --> 00:17:21,226
- Get moving!
281
00:17:21,271 --> 00:17:23,582
Some days we'd be better off stay in bed...
282
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,630
- Help!
283
00:17:38,693 --> 00:17:41,674
- Marcus, can you hear me?
It's me, Lupin.
284
00:17:41,706 --> 00:17:44,908
Hello? It's dark in there! Artus!
285
00:17:44,966 --> 00:17:49,471
- Marcus, this is Artus, a golden eagle.
We haven't met, but I'm here to help you.
286
00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:51,254
- What do you mean, a golden eagle?
287
00:17:53,006 --> 00:17:58,694
- A few swans of misfortune aren't going
to stop me from setting off the fireworks!
288
00:17:58,986 --> 00:18:00,134
- Help!
289
00:18:07,963 --> 00:18:10,630
- I don't like the sound of
that... It hurts my ears too much.
290
00:18:10,810 --> 00:18:13,876
- It's okay, don't worry, I'm here.
291
00:18:25,322 --> 00:18:26,026
- It's about time!
292
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,735
Stand back gentlemen,
I'll light the wicks.
293
00:18:32,774 --> 00:18:34,286
- Artus, is that you?
294
00:18:34,757 --> 00:18:36,284
- OH!
- Marcus!
295
00:18:36,859 --> 00:18:38,789
- Guys, this isn't funny!
296
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,927
- Oh no, I don't want to watch!
297
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,720
- Golden eagle to the
rescue! Here we go!
298
00:18:47,112 --> 00:18:48,472
- Oh, you beast!
299
00:18:48,838 --> 00:18:49,856
What the...
300
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,960
Belfort! The candle!
301
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,290
- Mrs Rosa... Charge!
302
00:19:00,710 --> 00:19:01,790
- What, now...
303
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:12,371
You've got to be kidding me! I can't
believe it! These animals are driving me crazy!
304
00:19:12,398 --> 00:19:15,116
- Sir, His Majesty is getting impatient.
305
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,825
The fireworks must start now.
306
00:19:18,633 --> 00:19:19,686
- Give me that!
307
00:19:24,557 --> 00:19:28,200
- Oh no, a lantern! How
are we going to put it out?
308
00:19:28,439 --> 00:19:30,920
- Can someone please turn on the light?
309
00:19:31,913 --> 00:19:33,611
- He mustn't light them!
310
00:19:39,885 --> 00:19:41,126
- Marcus, open the door!
311
00:19:41,226 --> 00:19:41,879
- Oh, dear!
312
00:19:42,286 --> 00:19:47,443
Well, so much for my decorum,
but when you've got to go, you've got to go!
313
00:20:04,593 --> 00:20:07,535
- Monsieur!
His Majesty is getting impatient!
314
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,457
Please start the fireworks immediately!
315
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:13,257
This is Versailles, not a circus!
316
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:15,703
- Immediately Bontemps, immediately!
317
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,720
Free at last! Artus!
318
00:20:30,185 --> 00:20:31,139
- Marcus!
319
00:20:37,117 --> 00:20:37,906
Wow!
320
00:20:47,906 --> 00:20:51,102
Don't worry Lupin, I'm here with you.
321
00:20:57,613 --> 00:21:00,893
- Fireworks were invented in China,
a long time ago,
322
00:21:01,127 --> 00:21:04,483
thanks to the manufacture of an explosive,
black powder.
323
00:21:04,857 --> 00:21:08,389
Years later, during the reign of
the Sun King, fireworks accompanied
324
00:21:08,426 --> 00:21:12,401
the great events of Versailles, and
were the occasion for magnificent shows.
325
00:21:12,906 --> 00:21:18,824
The manufacture of fireworks is a science
whose specialists are called artificers.
326
00:21:19,113 --> 00:21:25,169
Among them was François Villette, engineer and
expert firework maker at the court of Louis XIV.
327
00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:29,765
At the time, the fireworks were
so impressive that many spectators
328
00:21:29,812 --> 00:21:33,466
wrote about them in their letters,
which have been preserved.
329
00:21:33,707 --> 00:21:38,217
We know, for example, that in 1674,
a large boat with a dragon's head
330
00:21:38,373 --> 00:21:42,812
sailed into the Grand Canal,
carrying a gigantic volcano of fire.
331
00:21:43,152 --> 00:21:48,149
Even today, fireworks displays are regularly
organized at the castle of Versailles.
332
00:21:48,379 --> 00:21:52,774
to give visitors a glimpse
of the Sun King's grandiose festivities.
