Barney's Great Adventure

BARNEY:
Ho, ho, ho, oh, boy.

It looks like everybody's here.

BJ:
Oh, man, this is gonna be so cool.

BABY BOP:
Oh, I can't wait to

eat popcorn and sing along.

Oh, and see the movie.

(ALL LAUGHING)

BARNEY:
Well, then, here we go!

BJ:
Roll' em.

(SLOW SONG PLAYING)

Are we there yet?

Your turn.

No, not yet, Marcella.

Oh, it's taking too long.

What's your hurry?

They're dumping us for a whole week.

Ah, come on, Cody.

You're gonna have a great time.

You can help Grandpa with the farm chores

like, uh, milking the chickens.

(LAUGHING)

Get the doll out of my face.

BOTH:
Talk to the hand 'cause

the face ain't home,

leave a message at the tone "beep."

(BOTH GIGGLING)

Do you like dinosaurs?

What about them?

That's Barney.

I know that's Barney.

The whole world knows that's Barney

and he's a stuffed doll.

You're wrong. Barney can walk and talk.

And sing and dance.

Batteries not included.

(LAUGHS)

Sing and dance?

We use our imaginations.

Your imaginations!

That's kid stuff.

That's all right.

We are kids.

(LAUGHS)

DAD:
Hey, look! Merrivale Apple Day Festival!

Parade, circus,

hot-air balloon, fireworks. Wow!

It's tomorrow!

Can Grandma and Grandpa bring us?

-Um.

-Well, maybe, but don't count on it, okay?

Oh, great! The one good thing to do in town,

and we'll probably miss it.

(SLOW SONG RESUMES PLAYING)

Ida, the kids are here, shake a leg now.

They're here?

Oh, my goodness!

George, do I look all right?

Beautiful as always,

uh, touch of flour on your nose.

Is that better?

Much.

Come on.

ABBY:
Grandma! Grandpa!

GRANDPA:
Ooh, Abby!

MOM:
Oh! Hi!

Marcella, this is Abby's grandfather.

Welcome, Marcella.

How you doing?

MOM:
Are you sure you

can handle the kids for a couple of days?

GRANDPA:
Yes, yes,

don't worry. Everything will be okay.

GRANDPA:
Cody, tiger! Come on.

CODY:
You don't need cable T.V.

on a farm, Cody.

You'll have scenery to look at.

(PIGS GRUNTING)

Yeah, great scenery.

Cody, oh, Cody.

What?

It's me, Barney.

Won't you come play with me?

No!

We can play a nice game of pretend.

Well, great, then you

can pretend that I'm playing with you.

Well, okay, Mr. Grouchy.

For a guy who

thinks he's cool, you're sure no fun.

No fun.

(GIGGLING)

Fun, okay!

I'll show you fun.

Hey!

He's gone.

How did he do that?

See ya.

Where did he go now?

The attic.

There he goes.

Caught you.

Were you chasing me?

Yes, now can we have Barney back?

Do I know a Barney?

Cody, where is he?

I don't know, Abigail.

Why don't you use your imagination?

-Okay, I will.

-Me, too.

(LAUGHS)

Gee, no Barney.

Maybe you're not trying hard enough.

(LAUGHS)

(GIGGLES)

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

A towel, please!

Thank you, Marcella.

He knows my name.

Oh, and thank you, Cody.

It's so nice to

have a shower after a long car trip.

Now, what were we playing before, Abby?

We were playing

a game of pretend. Remember?

All right! I just love to pretend.

MARCELLA:
Hey,

why don't we go play in the barn?

Great! Oh, boy.

He's so big! It's Barney the dinosaur!

A dinosaur?

A dinosaur! Barney the dinosaur?

(SINGING) Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them over your shoulder

Like a continental soldier?

Do your ears hang low?

Hey!

(GIGGLES)

What do you think you're doing?

Uh, who, me?

Yeah, you.

What is this? Some kind of a joke?

I wouldn't call it a joke.

But we are having fun.

Lots of fun.

Look, pal, real dinosaurs don't talk,

and real dinosaurs don't laugh.

(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)

'Cause there

aren't any real dinosaurs anymore.

Oh, well, I'm as real as your imagination.

Oh, ho, ho... Whoops! And that's something...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-But that doesn't explain...

-Cody!

You don't have to explain.

(LAUGHS)

(SINGING) Close your eyes and you will find

There are pictures in your mind

Things that you can see and feel

All those things are very real

Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere

When your imagination takes you there

Imagine you're a cuckoo clock

I'm not a cuckoo clock.

All day long, you go tick tock, tick tock

GIRLS:
Close your eyes and wish real hard

BARNEY:
A cuckoo clock is what you are!

That's right.

Imagine you're a bird that flies

I'm not a bird that flies.

ABBY:
Soaring high up through the sky

GIRLS:
Spread your wings and feel so free

Whee!

A bird is what you're bound to be

BARNEY AND GIRLS: Imagine, imagine

And you can be anything you choose

Imagine, imagine

Just be sure you never lose the power to

Imagine you're an elephant

ABBY:
I'm a giant elephant

GIRLS:
Carrying a big long trunk

Trunk!

ABBY:
It's with me everywhere I go

No.

Who's to say it isn't so?

Let's go!

What do you think you're doing?

(TAUNTING)

Stop, stop, Barney!

GIRLS:
Bye, see you later.

Can't catch me.

Think you can get away! Come on.

(GIRLS TAUNTING AND GIGGLING)

Missed me!

CODY:
Come back here.

ABBY:
Come on, Marcella.

ABBY:
I'm sliding down a chimney

I don't see any chimney.

Woopie! Whee! Look at me!

That's a hay chute.

GIRLS:
No, it's not.

(GIGGLES)

It's what they say it is!

GIRLS:
That's what!

BARNEY AND GIRLS: Imagine, imagine

And life becomes a wonderful surprise

Imagine, imagine

And dreams appear before your eyes

BARNEY:
Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere

When your imagination takes you there
