Alright!

Who's there?

Is this acorn cottage?

That's right.

The home of Jonathan

the woodcutter?

Yes, but I can't see you.

Are you Jonathan?

Yes, I am, but where are you?

Then I'm in the right place.

I can hear you,

but I can't see you.

Lower your candle.

Down here.

Glory be!

Come in, lad. Come in!

Oh, thanks. I'm cold.

Ahh, that feels good, father.

Father?

You called me father?

Of course. Don't you

recognize your own son?

Oh. I think

I understand.

Tell me, were you sent

by the beautiful lady?

That's right.

Welcome, son!

Welcome!

Thanks, I hurried too

as fast as I could

so I could get here

on my birthday.

Jonathan?

Who is it?

Just a minute, Anna.

Who's that?

That's your mother, son.

Come on in.

Surprise her.

We have a visitor, Anna...

a little visitor.

He's going to stay with us

as long as we live.

Oh, tom!

How did you know

my name, mother?

I've always known

what your name would be.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Heh, I am, too,

but isn't a fella

supposed to have a cake

on his birthday?

For goodness sake, of course.

You must be starving.

Jonathan, build the fire up.

I'll fix something right away.

Mug for a table,

spool for a chair,

nice and stable, room to spare.

Thimble for a cup,

button for a plate,

now we're ready to celebrate.

Happy Birthday, son.

Happy Birthday, son.

Happy Birthday, everyone!

It's getting late.

And I have to fix you

something to wear.

Come along. It's time

for little boys to be in bed.

After all these years

after all my tears

after all the lonely days

I've known

now I have a son

such a tiny one

like a little doll

but a baby all my own

now my world is bright

things have

turned out right

after all my doubts

and all my fears

you belong to me

and we'll live

happily

together

ever

after all these years

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

hmm hmm hmm hmm

hmm hmm hmm hmm

hmm

you belong to me

and we'll live

happily

together

ever

after all these years

Goodnight, mom.

Goodnight, dad.

Which in chinaland mean

"good morning."

Oh, uh, good morning,

Mr., uh...

Allow unworthy one

to introduce

your humble servant

con-fu-shon.

I'm bidding you, on behalf of

all toys in nursery,

a most glorious welcome.

Oh, thank you.

Good morning, tom.

Good morning, tom!

Good morning.

Good morning, tom.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I didn't know toys could talk.

All very grateful to you, tom,

to bring us to life.

Grownup can't do that.

They are too smart.

You see, tom, many, many year,

this has been

a very lonely place without you,

and now that you here,

we are so happy.

We want to celebrate.

Hey, that's my song!
