Everything was so simple
Started out in the Big Apple
Now I'm all over the globe
And we're just flying high
No matter the destination
Have fun, it's a celebration
Everybody raise your paws to the sky!
Want to howl at the moon in Mexico
Shake your tail to the rhythm of India
Listen to the melodies of China
Want to bang on the drums
Of Africa, yeah
I see stars all around the world
Feels like home everywhere I go
I hear music everywhere
And there's one thing that I know
We're one pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
One pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
Want to howl at the moon in Mexico
Shake your tail to the rhythm of India
Listen to the melodies of China
Want to bang on the drums
Of Africa, yeah
I see stars all around the world
Feels like home everywhere I go
I hear music everywhere
And there's one thing that I know
We're one pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
One pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
[audience cheering]
You heard it here first.
Pup Star is going on world tour!
It is my absolute pleasure
to introduce our newest judge:
the one, the only Tiny!
Tiny, welcome back.
Oh, my goodness.
It's so great to be back, Jimmy.
Tell us,
how did this whole judge thing come about?
Did you ask them? Did they ask?
Did you take someone hostage?
- What happened here?
- You know, Jimmy,
there are so many amazing pups
around the world who deserve this chance.
I realized that even though
I loved being your Pup Star champion,
I was ready to help other dogs
fulfill their dreams.
She is quite a pup, huh?
What's next, Bark's back?
[laughs]
[gate buzzes]
Our rehabilitation engineers
work around the clock
to turn wayward dogs into model citizens.
Canine Correctional Magazine voted us
two paws, making us number one
in penal cuisine nationwide.
And here we play sad movie clips
to awaken their emotional synapses.
Get! I don't want you anymore!
Don't believe him, Air Bud.
It's a ruse.
My ball therapy program reduces
inmate stress through exercise.
Now, I must warn you.
This prisoner may be
the single most evil dog
in the history of the world, ever.
His name...
is Bark.
You probably recognize him
from TV's Pup Star.
Now, this is the newest
behavior modification device.
It's used only
on the most hard-core cases.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Who's the cutest
and most talented Pup Star of all time?
[growls]
Who is it?
[electricity buzzing,
then groaning]
Tiny. It's Tiny.
She's amazing. Everyone loves her.
The results speak for themselves,
Bark is almost completely reformed.
Very interesting, warden,
but let's cut to the chase.
Where has the rest
of the taxpayers' money gone?
Anyhoo. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm very busy. I have dogs to save.
- Butch.
- Right this way, folks.
Thank you.
[Butch] This facility was based
on a paw print by Frank Lloyd Bite.
All clear! Show's over.
[dogs chattering indistinctly]
Sorry, Bark.
I had to convince them it was real.
- I think they bought it.
- Get this off.
Here. Okay, there you go.
Now you put it on.
- There.
- The remote. Hand it over.
Fine.
[groaning]
[Bark cackles]
You're right,
this new therapy is fantastic.
Now turn on the TV.
This is the year to be on Pup Star.
We all know you're leaving tomorrow
on a four-month tour,
so we thought a special send-off
was in order. What do think?
Oh, here comes another
of your hilarious pranks, Jimmy.
[yawning]
Well, Simon,
get ready to eat that yawn.
The Jimmy Kibble Show went on tour,
and we started back
[in British accent] in your beloved home
of Merry Olde England.
Hello, lad. What's the good word?
Gramps. What are you doing here,
you old scoundrel?
Wanted to pop in and wish
me number one grandson bon voyage.
You mind your P's and Q's, lad.
I will, Gramps. I promise.
Promise. Wish I could bring you with me.
Me, travel? Ho-ho.
Not blooming likely. I'll be at the pub
watching the Pup Star World Tour
on the telly with me mates.
Love you, nipper.
Now I see where you get
your sunny disposition, Simon.
From the isle of Britain
[in Jamaican accent]
to the isle of Jamaica, mon.
[in normal voice]
Let's keep this tour going!
- Pops.
- Dad.
Papa.
Buyaka! Diggy, Rollin and Gnarly Jr.
It's good to see my litter is behaving.
We want a champion.
Me gonna try, pups,
me gonna try real hard.
- Are you going to Egypt?
- Yeah, mon. All around the world.
[in unison] So cool!
Bring us a pyramid!
Bring us a pyramid! Bring us a...
Oh, wowzer!
They're just a bundle of energy,
aren't they?
So, now let's head on over
to Lady Paw Paw's home
[in Jersey accent] of New Jersey.
Is it on?
[gasps]
Am I on?
Mama, we see you, we hear you.
Oh, my goodness. How do I look?
You look pretty, Mama.
I hear you're gonna be a jet-setter
around the globe.
But be sure to take your Pupto-Bismol.
You know you get gassy on planes.
OMD. Mom, we're on national TV.
International, heh, actually.
Oh, so, now I'm embarrassing you.
I carry you for nearly 68 days,
and this is the thanks I get?
- Again with the guilt trip.
- You know you're still my...
Tiny, I hear a number of your family
are here in our studio audience?
Yes, Jimmy. They're right over there.
By my girl Lou, there's my dad Steven,
my nanny Ida, and Shep, my manager.
But, come on, now,
your crew wouldn't be complete without...
Hey, what's up, T? Remember us?
P.U.P.! Oh my gosh!
Yo, yo. What's shaking, sister?
My tail, that's what.
Scraps,
how's the recording session going?
I'm crushing it.
Of course,
Scrappy will be defending her title.
I'm glad I'm not competing against her.
Pup Star, world tour!
Let's hear it for them!
All right, stay tuned...
Aw, look, everyone has somebody
they care about.
Hear that knock?
It's opportunity.
Judges! What's got you excited
about the tour?
Think of all the wardrobe possibilities.
I've had my stylist
working overtime for this.
My fans won't be disappointed.
Finally, I get to show Pup fans
the promised land.
Africa, mon. It's like catnip for Rastas.
So long, America.
I'm most excited to land, okay?
As far as I'm concerned,
dogs should keep four paws on the ground.
Wake me up when we get to New Delhi.
Simon! Are audiences really ready
for international talent?
Tour's already happening. A little late
for silly questions, isn't it?
Well, see you in four months, I guess.
Here goes nothing.
Maybe having your best friend
with you will help, huh?
- Wait, are you saying...?
- Surprise road trip?
Really? Dad, are you serious?
Yes!
Sisters on tour. Hashtag "Best Day Ever."
I love you. And it's educational.
At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Shep, take care of our girls.
You got it.
- Have fun.
- Love you.
Goodbye, everyone. See you in India.
In New Delhi, we begin searching
for the special canine crooners,
one of whom will become the first ever
Global Pup Star Champion.
Are you ready?
This is Pup Star: World Tour.
Dogs and dogettes, your judges.
Namaste, India!
- There she is. Oh, she's so cute.
- It's Tiny.
Bright colors, vivid patterns,
bling everywhere.
I'm home.
All right, India. Give me your sad sacks,
your talentless hacks,
your half-baked divas
yearning for unearned stardom.
Come on, Growl.
Let your love in, mon. One love.
Get those golden bones ready
because here's our very first contestant.
Raji!
[crowd cheering]
I was an slum dog from Calcutta.
I didn't even have an identity collar.
I was a nobody.
But I knew who I wanted to be:
a rock star.
You gotta sacrifice to sing the blues
I sang my heart out at the train station.
To pay your dues
But I couldn't get arrested.
For my music, that is.
I had a captive audience
that gave me instant feedback.
Take me higher
Allowing me to find my voice.
From Bollywood to Hollywood,
Raji's coming up.
And now, Raji!
Every slum dog knows the score
It's an uphill climb
From the bottom floor
To make it to the top
You gotta want it more
That's for sure
You've gotta want it more
Now I'm a slum dog, that's a fact
But I'll show the world
I'm more than that
My music is what makes me strong
Gonna sing my song
Desire
Take me higher
I'm a slum dog
But not for long
Gonna sing my song
Gonna prove you wrong
I'm a slum dog
But what you see is only part of me
I'm more than a slum
No way!
Dog
Simon! That was a sneak attack.
Right now, you're the king,
but I will make you immortal.
Welcome to Team Growl!
Oh, you are too kind. I guess it's karma.
I have so many gods to thank,
Saraswati, Savitri, Lakshmi...
Dhanyavaad!
Yes, first class.
[Simon on TV]
You're the king...
...but I will make you immortal.
Welcome to Team Growl!
That's my grandson.
Picking the fancy lad, even.
That's an open mind, that is.
Always was a sensitive pup.
[car horn honking]
Mind the tiller, lads.
Time to call it a night.
Oi! Aren't you Grandpa Growl?
It depends who's asking.
Hop right in, guvnah.
Here we are.
What's this, then?
Some kind of ride-sharing program?
No, mate, it's your lucky day.
Yeah, congratulations, guv.
We're here to escort you
to the Pup Star finale.
A special surprise
from your grandson, isn't it? Heh, heh.
What's the catch?
You're flying cargo.
[Kano cackles]
You're doing great, sis.
You're gonna pick the champ for reals.
Thanks, Scrappy, but it's hard to choose
when there's so many great contestants.
Go with your instincts.
You'll know the right one.
Don't you worry, Ms. Tiny.
I will pray to St. Anthony
to find you the best contestant.
We could talk all night.
It's time to get some rest.
Tomorrow's another continent,
another show.
- Love you, guys.
- Miss you, love you.
- Love you.
- Love you.
Love you, sisters.
[crowd cheering]
Pup Star has finally made it
to the majestic continent of Africa.
Ladies and gentlemen of Nigeria,
and the world,
please welcome your Pup Star judges!
India set a high bar, I have my pick.
So, now I just get to sit back
and watch my colleagues
drool all over themselves.
Poodles don't drool, bulldogs do.
Old Jamaican proverb,
"Good things come to those who wait."
In England, we say,
"The early bird catches the worm."
Rather delicious.
Ew.
Disgusting.
Who wants to catch a worm?
Our next competitor Mobo
is a park ranger and conservationist
from Kainji Lake National Park.
He's not just an animal,
he's an animal lover. Give him a hand!
[Mobo] I spend my days on
the nature preserve hunting for poachers.
[crowd booing]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd laughing]
[Mobo] The sounds of my animal brethren
is what inspires my music.
Join me in welcoming
the biggest heart in Nigeria...
Mobo!
I would like to welcome everyone
Sannu da zuwa
Listen to the sound of birds singing
And roaring waterfalls
Enjoy the savanna
As butterflies flutter across your eyes
Elephants in the river play all day
When there's trouble, I'll be on my way
If you fall, let me know
I'll be ready, I'll be your hero
It's a sight to see
You can live carefree
Go ahead and count on me
You know I'll be there
I'll be watching you
I'll be right there when you call
- All you gotta do is
- Holler, holler
And you know that I'll take care of you
Holler, holler
- You know that I'll take care of you
- I'll take care
- Of you
- You know I'll take care of you
Holler, holler
And you know that I'll take care of you
The search be over, mon. The dog up high
brought us together for a reason.
Now you'll be jamming on Team Gnarly.
Yeah, mon! Dog Gnarly, you're my hero!
I won't let you down.
- Do you really know our dad?
- Aye, mon.
He sent us to take you to the finale
in New York City.
Yeah, we be keeping it irie, pups.
Why are you dressed like tourists?
We be feeling that island rhythm, mon.
I can't do this anymore.
Well, I and we always dress like this...
For true?
Pretty embarrassing, mon.
See, I told you.
How far is New York anyway?
Oh, it's a while, mon.
Can we call our dad?
No. Mon.
- Why not?
- Because, mon.
Let me bottom-line this.
You're being dognapped.
[in unison] So cool.
[tires screeching]
Watch it!
Ain't nobody do it like I do
It's ruff and it's lyrical
- Feel the vibe I'm bringing you
- Yo.
Canine West, the original.
Mr. Big-time.
What's up, Prissy?
I haven't seen you in forever.
Word on the street is you're looking
for new talent. Here we are.
P.U.P, meet the Glameranians:
This is Sassy and CeCe.
- Sup, my G? Tight crib.
- You ought to check out our new song.
Plus, we have like 900 followers,
so we're like totally instafabulous.
Excuse me, ladies. You can chill
in the lobby. We got work to do.
Pup Star is thrilled
to be here in Beijing
to ring in both the year of the dog
and the very first episode
of Pup Star: China!
Raise the woof-woof, China!
[speaking in Mandarin]
Our next contestant hails
from here in the province of Hebei.
Let's meet her.
I tried helping my family on our farm,
but I was a bad duck farmer.
The worst.
[squeals]
The ducks would just waddle all over me.
Help!
All I ever wanted to do was sing.
My family thought I was quackers.
But the ducks? Heh, heh.
They believed in me.
And now I'm on Pup Star!
[crowd cheering]
It is my tremendous honor to present Ming!
[singing opera]
Two words: lounge music.
Totally forgettable.
Come out of the darkness
And into the light
We'll fly through the clouds
Where the stars shine so bright
Yi, er, san, let's go!
Put your paws up, put your paws up
Put your hands up, put your hands up
- Yeah
- Everyone across the land
Paw to paw and hand to hand
Yeah!
- Everybody dance
- Everybody dance
Every breed from every nation
Join the celebration
Everybody dance
- Yeah
- What, what! Right!
Everybody dance
Everybody dance
Everybody dance
Yesterday's buried and gone
- Tomorrow a new day will dawn
- A new day
- Tonight
- We'll bang the drum
- Tonight
- Yeah
- We'll have fun
- Yeah
We'll paint the sky
We'll paint the sky with dragon fire
Everyone across the land
Paw to paw and hand to hand
- Everybody dance

Every breed from every nation
It's a four-leg celebration
Everybody dance
Ming can sing!
Raise the woof-woof, China,
because this girl knows
how to bring down the house.
Ming-Ming, you just made Team Paw Paw!
Oh! I'm speechless! Ha-ha.
Ooh! You seeing this?
That's my pup, right there.
She always loved to travel abroad.
So cultural, so sophistimicated.
Like her father,
dog rest his soul.
Miss Maw Maw? We're here to chaperone you
to the Pup Star finale and whatnot.
- My puppy never told me about this.
- [dog] My God.
She knows I love surprises.
Well...
surprise!
Don't spoil the surprise.
Put a blindfold on me.
And then of course my daughter went
to tap school
and everybody said
she was the best in the class.
[Kano] Wow, amazing.
...do it like me
No
- Nobody
- Ain't nobody do it like I do
- Nobody
- It's ruff and it's lyrical
- Nobody
- Feel the vibe that I'm bringing you
[phone buzzing]
Nobody
- Oopsie.
- Hashtag "Sorry, not sorry."
[all laughing]
I promised my duck fans
I'd give up Peking duck as a delicacy,
- so I ordered us everything else.
- [dog on recording] It's P.U.P.
Drop me a message if you like.
That's strange...
Oh. You are done with screens for today.
P.U.P. can wait.
This is Divine Lotus, Tiny.
Six-star dining. Six.
They have that here.
You're right. I'm sure he's just busy.
Running the studio, being a success...
Dinner is served!
More for me.
Now it's your turn
It's such a doggone shame
It's a doggone shame
No one ever played
Played that game
It's so lame
All the same
You know it's a doggone shame
So, what do you think?
Amazing, am I right?
It's not my jam, but all right.
You are so totally
not going to regret this.
[speaks in Spanish]
My... long-lost hermano.
[speaks in Spanish]
My twin brother was lost at sea.
May dog rest his soul.
Si, Julio, Jose is lost.
But our madre had triplets.
Soy Jorge!
[gasps]
And now a special announcement
from Perros de Nuestras Vidas
and Pup Star.
Please welcome the newest contestant
on Pup Star, Julio!
Hola, Pup Star!
Let me introduce Julio to the world.
- How about a little help, dummy?
- Oh, right.
Opposable thumbs.
- How did you learn to fly one of these?
- YouTube videos.
Oh, good, that's comforting.
[Kano and Roland whimpering]
[whimpering]
[all whimpering]
[whimpering]
[warning beeping]
- Oh, God.
- Here we go.
[all whimpering]
You'll never guess who's competing
on Pup Star: Mexico. Oh, Julio.
The star of Perros de Nuestras Vidas.
He's so handsome.
Oh. You're going to love him.
He's so savvy, so talented.
I did not even know he could sing.
- [speaking in Spanish]
- Ah.
[speaking in Spanish, then sighs]
[Kano whimpering]
[Roland whimpers, then grunts]
- [warning beeping]
- [all whimpering]
[all whimpering]
- [Roland laughs]
- [grunts]
[all whimpering]
[Roland grunts, then pants]
[grunts, then panting]
[groaning]
Why are you spinning?
Amazing. I didn't think
he had enough brains to scramble.
Okay. Let's go, you Bozo.
[groaning]
[both grunting]
- [man 1 groans]
- [Roland grunting]
- Watch where you're going.
- [groans]
- [grunting]
- [man 1 groans]
[man 2]
Hey!
[speaking in Spanish]
Seores and seoritas,
perros and perrasitas,
welcome to Pup Star: Mexico!
[cheering]
You'll have this earpiece. When the judge
asks you questions, I will answer.
When you have to sing, you will lip-sync.
Leave the actual talent up to me.
Seor Bark, I am a professional.
I am Julio, hero to Mexico.
[chuckles]
Maybe on your little soap opera.
Please. Telenovela.
I can do it without your interference,
thank you very much.
You'll do exactly as you're told
or I'll devour you like a taco.
Do I make myself clear?
[gulps]
Crystal.
Crystal clear.
[audience cheering]
He's a crowd favorite. He's the star
of telenovela Perros de Nuestras Vidas...
You're up next, Bark.
Now, dogs and dogettes,
this is not a stunt. We have the Julio!
[cheering]
[shrieks]
Oh, I don't wanna overhype Julio,
- but I'm gonna say Julio... Shh.
- [Rover] Who is Julio, you ask?
Let's find out.
I was born outside the city,
at the dump, where I lived with mi madre,
cuatro hermanos, mi hermanita.
- Until one day I found mi pasin
- Hmm? Huh.
buried deep in the trash.
[strumming]
It was love at first sight.
[strumming]
Then, one day,
the floods came down the auroras,
wiping out mi familia entina in a flash.
[all gasp]
[speaking in Spanish, then sobbing]
Oh, my gosh.
Here come the waterworks.
No family?
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, please.
You lot would cry
if a mic stand fell over.
I said to myself, "Julio?
You must become a star,
in the memory of tu familia."
And I did.
[cheering]
Enough about me.
For now, we sing!
Time to take back Pup Star.
And now, the dog that needs
no introduction, but he requested one...
Julio!
[cheering]
["Tell Me Cuando" playing]
My seorita
Beautiful chica
Like a flower needs the sun
I need you near
Puppy chiquita
You are my vida
When will you look into my eyes
And say the words I long to hear?
- Tell me cuando?
- [backup] Tell me cuando?
When will you love me?
Tell me when you'll dance with me
When will you share romance with me?
- Tell me cuando?
- [backup] Tell me
When will I hold you?
Don't leave me standing here
All alone
My canine corazn
He's pure pasin.
What a voice.
Perro princesa
Don't make me chase you
- Uh-huh.
- [giggles]
Darling, we belong together
Can't you see?
My heart is aching
- I'm yours for the taking
- [backup] Come on, girl
You're the star of all my dreams
- You are my destiny
- [backup] Oh, tell me, tell me
Tell me cuando?
- When will you love me?
- [backup] Cuando?
Tell me when you'll dance with me
When will you share romance with me?
Tell me cuando?
- Yeah!
- When will I hold you?
- Don't leave me standing here
- [audience] Aw.
- All alone
- [backup] All alone
- My canine corazn
- [backup] My canine corazn
Now I want you to sit, raise your paw,
and look directly into Tiny's eyes.
- [backup] Yeah
- Tell me cuando?
Will I ever be the same?
Tell me cuando?
Will you set my heart aflame?
Tell me cuando?
When will you be mine?
My canine corazn
[cheering]
Yes! [laughs]
[cheering]
[laughs]
He's incredible.
[whooping and cheering]
Thank you, my fans!
I cannot believe I, the humble Julio,
[chuckles] am on this stage,
in the presence
of such additional greatness.
[chimes, audience cheering]
[cheering]
Julio, you're my pick.
Welcome to Team Tiny.
[gasps] Tiny.
[speaking in Spanish]
- [in English] I shall not disappoint you.
- We got Julio! We got Julio.
Okay, now take a rose over for Tiny.
[cheering]
Julio is so suave.
What a chump.
I never seen someone act so thirsty.
I don't know, it's working for me.
Tiny, I didn't think it was possible.
You are even more ravishingly beautiful
in person.
Uh... Why, thank you.
[gasps]
I can't wait to show you my hometown,
Chicago.
I humbly accept your invitation.
Wonderful.
Of course, I humbly accept your
generous invitation to stay at your casa.
I am so honored
to be welcomed into your familia.
Oh. Oh, no. No, I meant someday, not...
I have not known a real home
since my family was...
Was...
Right. Of course, mi casa es tu casa.
What just happened here?
[cheering]
Who says Americans aren't hospitable?
Huh? [chuckles]
- We're excited you girls are coming home.
- [humming]
There's something I have to tell you.
We have a surprise guest.
[speaking in Spanish]
- [gasps, then chuckles]
- Hi.
Julio will be staying with us
for the next few weeks.
Muchas gracias
for your generous offer of hospitality.
Don't worry.
You'll hardly know I'm there. Adis.
[whimpers]
Julio. I'll be your point man
for all things Tiny. So...
The name is Seor Julio.
My agent will forward you a list
of requirements for my stay. I trust
they will be fulfilled. Failure is...
Uh... How you say...?
...not an option.
Okay.
That's where you'll stay
Friends like you I can do without
I'll put you in the doghouse
Your flow is savage, Scraps.
You think? It was a lot simpler
when we'd just freestyle, you know?
[sighs]
Enough about me. How's the studio doing?
It's blowing up like gangbusters,
but what's the point of this success
if I don't have anyone to share it with?
You know?
I'm missing Tiny, too.
She'd love to see your muzzle.
Why don't you take a little initiative?
Groom up,
surprise her with flowers at the airport.
Hey, yeah. That's a great idea.
[camera shutters clicking]
- [man 1] Julio!
- [man 2] Julio!
- Welcome to America!
- What's this chump doing here?
Cease your weeping, America!
At long last, Julio has landed.
[man 3]
You look so good as a couple.
[Steven]
Hey!
[gasps] Hi!
Shep, have you seen P.U.P.?
Uh... He wasn't on my schedule.
[reporter 1]
Julio, can we get a quote?
- [man] Lewis, go.
- Hey! There's my girls.
- Welcome home. Mm.
- [gasps, then sighs]
- [reporter 2] Live with the Pup Star.
- [gasps]
- And you must be Julio.
- Oh.
Bienvenidos, Seor Julio.
- [gasps]
- And you must Eva Fangoria.
Oh. [giggling]
Oh, no, Seor Julio.
I am Ida.
Seor Steven, muchas gracias
for your generous hospitality.
Of course, Julio.
- Shall we go? Come on!
- Come on, let's go.
[indistinctly chattering]
[inhales deeply] Hmm.
Taste that brisk Chicago air.
Shep. Be so kind to bring my bags
to my room, s?
- Uh...
- [speaks in Spanish]
Si, Seor Julio.
[grunting]
I don't want to be a bother.
Show me where you shall put me,
and I shall accept it, oh, so humbly.
This is the guest room,
and you'll be staying, uh...
It's... Okay.
[breathing heavily]
[gasps, then whimpers]
[groaning]
[muttering]
A bit feminine, but...
it shall do.
[chuckles]
Well, actually, this is my room...
Oh, don't you worry, Mr. Steven,
I will make the guest room
is very comfortable for you.
Ah, good, Shep. I was wondering
what happened to you. [chuckles]
Put my things in here,
and Ida, yes, she shall unpack me.
[Shep grunts]
Con permiso, please. Out of the way, Shep.
[gasps] Okay.
Get some rest, Julio.
Tomorrow we'll start rehearsals.
- [toy squeaks]
- Okay.
[crickets chirping]
[birds chirping]
- Morning.
- [Lou] Morning, Daddy!
Morning.
[sniffs] Mm.
[bell ringing]
[ringing]
Ida, rapido!
Ah, Ida! [chuckles]
[speaking in Spanish]
[in English]
It's so hard to find good help in America.
Presidente, I have defeated
the King of the Chupacabras.
The orphanage is saved.
Sweet, the trusting, foolish Julio.
Chupacabra don't even have a king!
[gasps]
- My long-lost twin brother slash enemy.
- [Ida and Julio] But if you're here,
then where is El Presidente?
Don't you mean our long-lost father?
You murdered El Presidente.
Julio is El Presidente now.
- Long live me!
- Long live me!
Sorry, seor.
My paws were filthy from traveling,
and your brush... she is the perfect size
to get between my toes.
[gags]

P.U.P., Dawg Pound Records took you
from flat broke
to flush and famous in less than a year.
How's it feel?
I can't believe the talent we're getting.
Canine West, Scrappy, Pitbull,
Lil' Bow Wow, Normal Bow Wow,
Snoop Pup...
Not to mention their newest hit artists,
The Glameranians!
So, Tiny, you must be relieved
to be back home.
- How is your family?
- Oh, they're the best. I...
Not since my familia was ripped away
from the cruelty of Mother Nature
- have I felt so at home.
- [gasps]
[gasping]
[Julio]
Tell me cuando?
Will you set my heart aflame?
Tell me cuando?
When will you be mine?
[discordant]
My canine corazn
Hello? Shep?
Did you bring my loofah?
Never leave home without it.
Yeah, the door was unlocked.
No.
If your manwich falls flat
Don't get flustered
Just kick it up a notch
With a little spicy...
Mustard.
[scatting]
Where is that?
[humming]
Where is the mustard?
Aah.
[scatting]
Hmm.
[Julio snoring]
Si, s, mi chiquita,
but you must wait in line
if you desire el Julio's pawdograph.
What a loon.
I thought working with you was obnoxious.
[snorts]
My beautiful chiquita.
How can I love just one? [snores]
- There's so many of you. [snoring]
- Knock, knock, knock.
- Is that you, Sweet Tiny?
- No, Julio. It's your worst nightmare.
[snorts, then mumbles]
Kano! [chuckles]
[speaks in Spanish]
[in English]
To what do I owe the honor of this visit?
Time for phase two.
Bark wants compromising photos
of you and Tiny. Tabloid material.
It's time to step up your game, muchacho.
Tabloids? [scoffs]
I will not. It is beneath me.
Says the soap opera actor.
Besides, they can
never seem to get my good side.
[speaks in Spanish]
How'd you like to have no good sides?
Uh, perhaps I can compromise. [chuckles]
- Good call.
- You are gonna take Tiny out for dinner.
There's a restaurant
called El Tapas Perros.
When you see my signal,
plant a kiss on her.
Clear, Julio?
As crystal. [chuckles]
Crystal clear.
Ah. There you are, my chiquita.
[Tiny]
Julio.
It's go time.
We're only a week away from the finale,
and we haven't even rehearsed once
together.
Ah, you Americans stress too much.
- [grumbles]
- Stress is no good for the vocal cords.
Relax. I am a natural performer.
But I'm your mentor.
I'm responsible for you.
- I will make you a deal.
- [insect buzzing]
Tomorrow, we shall sing.
Tonight, we shall celebrate
my regal Spanish heritage.
- And I know just the place.
- [sighs]
Fine.
One night of relaxing,
- and then we get down to business.
- Wonderful.
- Shep, arrange it. Reservations for two.
- Hmm?
Tonight at El Tapas Perros.
- [Julio speaks in Spanish]
- [whimpers]
Si, Seor Julio. [whimpers]
[speaks in Spanish]
[speaking in Spanish, then sighs]
[speaking in Spanish] Mm-mm.
- [speaks in Spanish]
- [squeaking]
[speaking in Spanish]
Oh. [speaking in Spanish]
Huh.
[gasping]
Ooh. [chuckling] Mm.
[playing guitar]
Shep, I must insist you take pictures
for my Instagrowl.
My fans are... very demanding.
You can't take photos here.
It's a lifetime ban.
There are no second chances
at El Tapas Perros.
You will improvise.
[scoffs]
[playing guitar]
All right, get on it with it, Romeo.
Oh, wow, I have to bring P.U.P. here.
The view is perfect.
Not as perfect as the view
across the table.
Not as perfect
as the view across this table,
my canine corazn.
Uh...
Thanks, Julio.
You're always so complimentary.
- Don't use your own lyrics.
- I can't hear you.
- Oh, sorry. I'll speak up.
- [playing guitar]
That guitar is quite loud.
[indistinct chatter]
[playing guitar]
Like a flower needs the sun,
I need you near.
I'm right here. [chuckles]
Flowers, sun. What are you talking about?
Pardon me, I'm just going gonna...
- [camera shutter clicks]
- [playing guitar]
When will you look into my eyes
and say the words I long to hear?
Okay, to be candid,
you won't win Pup Star
just because you're popular.
- You need to focus.
- [chuckles]
Darling, we belong together,
can't you see?
Wait a sec,
aren't those the lyrics to your song?
Come on, dial it back.
You're not that good.
She's smarter than you.
My heart is aching.
I'm yours for the taking.
Really?
Enough with the song lyrics already.
You're blowing it.
Go in for the kiss already!
- [smacks]
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Bingo.
- Julio, what are you doing?
[grunts, then groans]
My seorita, [chuckles]
when will you share your romance with me?
Have you gone crazy?
I'm with P.U.P.!
This is so unprofessional.
[grunts]
We got her!
[laughing]
[laughing]
[Shep] Before the puperazzi arrive,
we need to get out.
[indistinct chattering]
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.
[grunts]
[yells, then grunts]
[exhales audibly]
This is all my fault.
Curse my fiery Latin blood.
I should leave.
Julio, no!
Don't listen to those DMZ media vultures,
spreading their lies and fake news.
How dare you. That photo
is taken completely out of context.
If you don't publish a retraction,
we'll sue...
A personal concert
at your doggie's bark mitzvah?
OMG! What a nightmare.
[groans] I'm on damage control.
We need to issue a statement
that there is no Juliny.
This relationship is professional.
Julio tripped,
Don't know how this happened.
Oh. To top it off, my phone gets stolen.
Now I'm stuck with this retro disaster.
- [groans]
- Aha.
But, Shep, isn't this your phone?
[gasps] Julio, heh, you're a lifesaver.
Not so fast, amigo.
You know, Shep,
you were the one taking photos that night.
Of course I was, Seor Julio,
because you asked me to. [chuckles]
- How much did they pay you, Shep?
- [gasps]
You're accusing me?
- [gasps] Me?
- Who else had the photos that night?
It is a no-phone policy
at El Tapas Perros.
- Very gauche, amigo.
- [gasps] Ooh.
Julio, let me see Shep's phone.
Steve, you know I would never do anyth...
Please.
[both gasp]
That's not...
You can't think I'm responsible for that.
Shep... I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to terminate your services.
[gasps, then whimpers]
[sobbing]
[crying]
Never trust a human with a dog's name.
[Tiny]
I know that tonight
A star will rise
[cell phone buzzing]
- It will be the brightest day
- [buzzing]
[P.U.P.] Yo, yo, yo, it's P.U.P.
with the beep so tight.
How could this happen?
And why won't P.U.P. pick up?
I want to explain what happened.
Maybe he just needs to...
I don't know, maybe he needs to cool off?
He'll never speak to me again.
It's so unfair.
[Tiny]
...the sky
Can't you read the sign? We're closed.
Thought you could use someone
to talk to.
I'm all right.
- [Tiny] Now I'm up above the clouds...
- Tale as old as time.
A dashing, handsome, talented alpha
sweeps a lonely, insecure,
seriously unstylish pup off her paws.
Tragic, really.
...turning day into night...
Come out with me and the Glameranians.
We won't bite.
You're right.
I gotta shake off these cobwebs.
...how unreal that it feels...
- [reporter] Who took the photo?
- Are you together? Is it true?
- We're just chilling.
- Have you already moved on?
Yes. I mean, no. I mean...
Yeah, we're hanging out together...
- I mean, we're just friends, you know?
- No comment. I am sick of rumors
that P.U.P. and I are the hottest
new couple to watch.
Get that camera out of my muzzle!
So, that's it. It's over.
Tiny, I know this has all been muy loco.
But Julio is deeply sorry.
It's all right, Julio.
It's not like you published the photos.
[chuckles]
Yeah. As your friend,
I have brought you a gift.
Lou, will you do me the honors?
Okay.
[Tiny]
It's so pretty.
- Thanks for being a good friend, Julio.
- Go Team Tiny. [chuckles]
New York City awaits.
- Think you can handle Scrappy on your own?
- I got this, don't worry about it.
I was a professional
dog procurement engineer for years,
so I think I can handle one street rat.
Yeah, of course.
[chuckles] Yeah.
[Kano]
Yeah.
[grunts, then scatting]
You and me
We used to be friends forever
Like besties
We were tight like a collar
So guaranteed
Then I had a reve...
Hey! You hanging in there, dawg?
I'm all right.
Don't buy what the tabloids are selling.
[P.U.P.]
I... Yeah.
You warm up. I'm gonna grab some air.
It's stifling here, all of a sudden.
- [backup 1] Ooh
- [backup 2] Doghouse
Caught you sleepin' in a bed o' lies.
Biggity B-A-D Diggity D-O-G
- Now you and me...
- Good.
- Roland?
- But a little pitchy in parts
for my taste.
P.U.P? We got trouble here, dawg.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[exhales audibly, then groans]
[grunts, then groans]
[yelping]
[hissing]
[cans clinking]
[grunting, then coughing]
Have a nice trip, sucker!
[growling]
- Uh-oh.
- [Kano laughing]
Going somewhere?
Fancy meeting you here, Cyclops.
[growling]
I told you I could handle this.
Yeah, no, I see that.
[clinks, then grunting]
[grunts, then sighs]
[sighs] I'm fine!
[line ringing]
- Scrappy's not answering,
- I'm worried about Scrappy.
- She's never this late.
- I'll go in to check on her.
- Just to be safe.
- Okay, Daddy.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Kano? Roland? What're they doing here?
Sending the jabroni in
to do your dirty work?
Must be getting old, Kano.
Zip it.
P.U.P. really needs to invest
in a security system. [chuckles]
We should beat it before somebody sees us.
You picked a bad day
to rub me the wrong way.
Scrappy?
Anyone?
Hello?
[gate creaking]
[man]
See you tomorrow.
[indistinct chattering and laughing]
- [Roland] Look what I got. [laughing]
- [indistinct chattering]
[howling and laughing]
- [dog 1] New fish, guys.
- [dog 2] New fish, guys.
- [indistinct chattering]
- [bars clanging]
Excuse me, this is no way to treat a lady.
Where are your manners?
I left them in the junkyard.
Blimey, don't you yanks know
how to make a decent cup of tea?
Of course.
One lump or two?
You're in big trouble
when our dad finds out, man.
- He's a human catcher.
- And he's 50 feet tall and...
Ooh. I'm shaking in my paws.
Pick on someone your own size.
And how is everyone enjoying their stay?
Hmm?
Classy joint, Bark. Kind of suits you.
Prison chic.
[scoffs] You can't keep us here forever.
Uh, I'm sorry, maybe you missed this,
but you're in a prison. My prison.
It's designed to keep people in
or keep them out.
What's your scam this time, Bark?
You're not even on Pup Star.
[speaks in Spanish]
[in English]
You see, I am Julio.
Tell me cuando?
When will you be mine?
Tell me cuando? [chuckles]
See? I'm more Julio than Julio.
- You're whack, Bark.
- [chuckles]
Tiny's so smitten with Julio, she'll vote
for him in a beat of her sappy heart.
If judges know what's good for them,
they'll do the same.
- Not cool.
- Not cool.
And with no Scrappy to compete,
I win Pup Star.
As Julio, for now.
But I'll control the hearts and minds
of all those suckers around the world
that believe Pup Star is real.
Suckers.
Oh, my dawg!
This is Arf. He's your doppelganger, boss.
Hi, Bark.
Happy to be part of the mean team.
All right, Arf.
If there's a surprise inspection,
keep your mouth shut
and try to look regal. Like me.
Regal, got it.
Oh. Uh, one thing. This collar?
I like collars normally,
I'm a fashionista.
- Okay.
- They emphasize my strong neck
and lumberjack ruff.
Which pups say is my best feature.
- Cut to the chase.
- But this collar pinches.
This better be going somewhere.
Tight, metal, clampy?
Nobody's doing this look right now. So...
Yeah, loose lips sink ships.
- Zap him.
- I'm not vibing it.
[clicks, Arf grunts]
[crackling]
Okay, okay, zipping it!
Mum's the word.
Is this really necessary?
Completely.
If he opens his mouth, zap him again.
[groans] This is giving me agita.
Kano and I will go to the finale.
Roland, you make sure
our darling family members stay put.
Make sure this bozo doesn't do
anything stupid, like, I don't know,
- letting the dogs out.
- Words hurt, Kano.
You can count on me, boss.
[clicks, then creaking]
Yo, tough guy!
Let's take this outside, paw to paw!
[indistinct chattering]
[sighs, then groans]
[sighs]
Team Tiny, you're up in 30 seconds.
For now, dress rehearsal,
for tonight, stardom awaits.
[man speaks indistinctly]
My seorita
Beautiful chica
[both]
Like a flower needs the sun
I need you near
Puppy chiquita
- You are...
- Tiny, for two years,
I've served faithfull...
No, enthusiastically... as your...
No, too formal.
Tiny, for two years, I...
[yelping]
When will you be mine [groans]
- What now? Do I have to do everything?
- Come on, let's check it out.
- My canine
- My canine
- [discordant] Corazn
- Corazn
[gasps, then mutters]
This microphone shocked me.
Who is responsible?
Julio will roll heads.
Julio, are you okay?
- [man] All right, reset.
- That was... [sighs]
- terrible.
- Hey, Shep.
Shep. [clears throat]
I told them to put honey in my tea,
and nobody listened.
[speaking in Spanish]
[woman]
I brought the honey.
Reroute that.
It cannot happen again.
[whimpering]
Kano?
[gasps] What in the name of Lassie...?
- Looking for something?
- [gasps] Oh.
[chuckles]
No, no, no. Just checking on all of this.
Heh. Looks to be in order.
[clears throat] I'll just be going.
Nice try. [growling]
Maybe not...
- [laughing]
- [whimpers]
- [gasping]
- [laughing]
- Any sign of Miss Scrappy?
- No, and something's wrong.
The studio was empty.
The back door was open.
That was a weird incident on stage
with Julio.
His singing voice changed.
It was bizarre.
Yeah, and I recorded a video of Julio
in the shower a while ago. Listen.
[discordant] Corazn
- That's exactly what he sounded like.
- Ida, where did you get that?
[gasps] Oh, this? I found it on the floor
of Julio's bedroom,
next to his dirty underwear.
I figured it was garbage,
so I kept it maybe as a souvenir.
- Maybe.
- Can I have it?
"Canine Correctional Facility."
Roland.
Ida, you come with me.
Lou, you stay here with Tiny, okay?
See what we can find out
at this correctional facility.
Did I miss the family meeting?
[both chuckle]
No.
I'd like to thank the Academy
for this beautiful award.
[scoffs] Yeah. In your dreams, Roland.
And I'd like to thank Kano,
my best friend.
- Hey, warden.
- [mumbling]
- Hey, warden!
- [gasping]
[gasping]
We got some suits out front
from some accounting team.
They said something
about a surprise audit? Uh...
- Is that bad?
- Everybody get in your cells!
- [dog 1] Everybody in your cells!
- Okay.
I'm gonna get changed and go meet them.
Clean out this room and get Arf in here.
Okay, we're on full lockdown.
Nobody comes in or out!
Um...
Yeah, that goes without saying, Einstein.
We're in a prison.
Oh, right.
[dog 2]
Oh, man! I don't wanna go back.
- [clanging]
- [Roland exhales audibly]
- [thuds]
- [grunts, then groans]
- [dog 3] Okay, hurry, hurry!
- [grunts, then whimpers]
[growling]
[growling continues]
[inmate]
Hey, what are you looking at?
All right, P.U.P., play it cool,
like Snoop Pup.
Hey! This area is strictly off-limits,
bub.
Boss sent me as back-up.
Got a problem with it?
Yeah?
Well, you can tell the warden
I can handle these chumps
with one paw tied behind my back.
[P.U.P.]
Whoa.
Is that Scrappy? The famous rapper?
What? You know
another rapping Yorkie, po-po?
- What's it to you?
- I've been known to throw some rhymes.
[scoffs] Talk's cheap.
Let's battle, homes.
Let's take
that pampered pooch wannabe down.
[chanting]
B-A-T-T-L-E! Battle!
[all]
Battle!
- Battle!
- Battle! Battle!
[all]
Battle! Battle! Battle!
Oh, what,
you're afraid of a little Yorkie?
- [all] What are you, jerk chicken?
- All right, all right!
- If it'll get me some peace and quiet.
- [all chanting]
You don't expect me to rap in a cage.
Eh, where's she gonna scarper to?
Let her out, guv.
Where am I gonna go, yo?
- Open up her cell.
- [inmate] All right!
[buzzing]
Let's do this legit. I'll lay down a beat.
[beatboxing]
Every puppy in the pokey
Has the same tale
You're just another loser
Thought your rhyming was gold
But look at you
A little washed-up wannabe
Coolin' in the big house
- Hope you enjoy your stay, convict.
- [Butch beatboxing]
- You must be dumber than these bricks.
- [beatboxing]
Think you're tough
You're wearing a badge
But you're just bullies
That I'll dispatch
You crazy? He can't lock me down
Go back to the circus
- 'Cause you're nothing but clowns
- [beatboxing]
- A bunch of sad clowns, that is.
- Oh, yeah.
Yap about how it's a crime
You're just a bad dog doing her time
Your pathetic rhymes
Can't help you now
You'll be eating those words
With your prison chow
Bon apptit, jail bird.
Not so fast, hotshot.
Only thing I'll be eating is your lunch
Gonna hit you like a knockout punch
Step back, watchdog
You can't handle this
Switcheroo, got you, case dismissed
[indistinct yelling]
Oh, yeah, Scrappy!
- [all chanting] Scrappy! Scrappy! Scrappy!
- [buzzing]
We have a winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
[all]
Yeah, Scrappy!
[chanting continues]
Of course she won.
I'm glad to see
you have some taste after all, Butch.
[all]
Scrappy! Scrappy!
Ladies and gents, dapper dogs
and crazy cats from around the globe.
This is the finale
for Pup Star: World Tour!
Dogs from around the world came.
Judges chose their favorite to mentor
and they're waiting backstage
for their turn to showcase their talent.
The judges will perform a duet
with their prodigies.
Come on, Raji.
Eye of the tiger, soul of the king.
Eye of the tiger, soul of the king.
Then, each contestant will perform
a new solo song before the final vote
to decide our first ever
global Pup Star Champion!
I am a wreck. [gasps]
Whew. I'm so glad you said it first.
I didn't wanna be that dog.
Ah, nerves.
These are so common among amateurs.
Sad, really.
You're awfully cocky tonight.
If "cocky" is American
for "supremely confident," then yes.
False humility is not for Julio.
Tonight, they'll sing for your votes.
We have one announcement.
Our defending champion, Scrappy,
has gone missing.
- [audience] Ooh.
- We hope to find her, but without Scrappy
one of our new challengers is assured
of being the first global Pup Star!
Now, without further puppery puffery,
[chuckles] let's meet your teams.
Ready to showcase their skills
to pay the bills,
Team Paw-Paw with Ming!
[cheering]
Holler, mongrels!
Who's ready for Ming
to blow the roof off this doghouse?
["Everybody Dance" playing]
- Yi, er, san, let's go!
- [audience whooping]
Put your paws up! Put your paws up!
Put your hands up! Put your hands up!
[vocalizing]
Yeah!
Everyone across the land
Paw to paw and hand to hand
[singing in Chinese]
[in English]
Everybody dance
Every breed from every nation
Come and join the celebration
[singing in Chinese]
[in English]
Everybody dance
[growling]
Heimlich, stand down.
- [clears throat] Hello.
- Hello.
Hello.
You look strangely familiar.
Were you in our last tour group?
No.
It's classified. We're from the
inspection department of accounting.
- We're here to crunch your numbers.
- S. [clears throat] Yes.
And we crunch numbers...
[bones cracking]
real hard.
Okay, right this way.
- Hmm.
- [Steven and Ida gasp]
- I'm a slum dog
- Go for it!
- But not for long
- Not for long!
- Gonna sing my song
- Sing it!
- Gonna prove you wrong, I'm a slum dog
- I'm never wrong!
- Yes!
- But what you see
- What do I see?
- Is only part of me
- There's so much to you!
- I'm more than a slum dog
Oh, that was like peanut butter
on the roof of my mouth.
[cheering]
Wowzers, folks, that's a first.
Growl almost singing and sort of dancing?
Do pigs fly now?
I hear one of your inmates
is that character from Pup Star.
Yes.
[speaking in Spanish]
- [in English] The bad dog.
- What's his name again?
Oh, you mean Bark.
Yeah, he's a real bad apple.
I know it's not a normal request,
but could we get a peek at him?
Oh, no, that's not possible.
It'd make this audit
go very smooth for you.
[clears throat]
Okay. But only under...
No, make that two conditions.
One, no talking to any of the inmates.
And two, you ignore
all discretionary audio visual equipment
that fell off the back of a truck.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Okay.
- Clyde? Door, please.
- [buzzing]
Follow me.
Stay inside the yellow lines, please.
Now, I must warn you,
Bark doesn't like to talk.
Prison will do that to a dog.
Hey! What's going on here?
Get those dogs back in their cells.
We're fine where we are, warden.
Yeah, the funny thing is,
not like ha-ha funny,
but like hmm funny
is that we're in charge now.
We don't wanna take orders
from no spray-tan jabroni no mores.
[indistinct chattering]
Well, seems like it's a bit
of a sticky wicket, isn't it?
- Meatball.
- [all] Let the pups go free, mon.
[all growling]
Day late and a dollar short.
No holding back the power of rap.
[guffaws]
[speaking in Spanish, then laughs]
- [all growling]
- Uh...
Looks like you gots a mutiny on your paws.
- [indistinct chattering]
- [growling]
- [grunts]
- [indistinct chattering]
Mama?
[cheering]
Now we be jamming, mon,
with Team Gnarly and Mobo.
Buyaka, buyaka!
Sing it!
- I would like to welcome everyone
- Welcome
- Sannu da zuwa, listen to the sound
- Sannu da zuwa
- Of birds singing and waterfalls
- Yes, mon
Enjoy the savanna while
Butterflies flutter across your eyes
Elephants in the river play all day
When there's trouble I'll be on my way
If you fall, let me know
- Fall, let me know
- I'll be ready, I'll be your hero
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's a sight to see
You can live carefree
- Go ahead and count on me
- Count on me
Okay. Who are you guys?
- [creaks]
- [grunts]
- Wait. You're the... and the...
- [Ida] Mm-hm.
You mess with Tiny and Scrappy,
you mess with the familia.
Oh. Need I remind you
how this all went down last time?
Ah. Yeah, it wasn't good for you.
Yeah.
Well, let me remind you
that you are in a heavily guarded prison.
My prison. And there is no escape.
I'm guessing there's a secret way out.
No. Why would you think that?
Hey!
No, don't touch that! Don't do that!
- What, this? Don't touch this?
- No, no, no.
[groans]
- Can you guys keep an eye on Bark's crew?
- Don't worry, I can handle these fellas.
I'm from Jersey.
Unlike this muppet,
I happen to know a thing or two
about keeping order.
Bye, Roland.
[all]
Mon, pups always being left behind!
[inhales deeply, groans]
- Dog, oh, dog.
- [muffled grunting]
Have we raised the bar tonight.
I can't wait to see
what Team Tiny has to offer.
- [muffled grunt]
- Ha!
Like taking a bone from a puppy.
[cheering]
My seorita
Beautiful chica
Like a flower needs the sun
I need you near
Puppy chiquita
- You are my vida
- [Tiny] You are my vida
When will you look into my eyes
And say the words I long to hear?
- Tell me cuando?
- Cuando?
When will you love me?
Tell me when you'll dance with me
When will you share romance with me
- Tell me cuando
- Cuando
- When will I hold you?
- When will I hold you?
Don't leave me standing here
- All alone
- All alone
- My canine corazn
- My canine corazn
[cheering]
Tell me cuando
- Cuando
- What? What?
Will I ever be the same?
- Tell Me cuando
- Cuando
Will you set my heart aflame?
Tell me cuando
- [grunts]
- When will you be mine?
- My canine corazn
- My canine corazn
[Tiny]
Oh, hey!
[cheering]
Thank you, my fans!
[Tiny]
What are you doing, Julio?
[gasps]
- Oh, no.
- Start flexing, P.U.P.
- Let's show those goons what time it is.
- Uh, sure, Scraps.
- Anybody got a plan B?
- Over here, over here!
How are we gonna get out
without the guards seeing?
This.
Ida, you know how to drive one?
Of course. Back home in Mexico,
I was a tank driver for the army.
And I was the best.
Okay. Looks like we got a ride, guys.
It's time to bail on this jail.
Come on.
[Steven gasps, then screaming]
- We're doing it!
- [Steven whooping]
[all screaming]
- [Steven grunting]
- [Ida whooping]
[whooping]
- [whooping]
- [Steven screams]
- [Steven grunts]
- [Ida laughs]
- [Steven whimpering]
- Ooh.
- [whooping]
- Whoa.
[creaking]
- Eyes on the road, eyes on the road!
- [laughs]
[guard screaming]
- [Ida whooping]
- [Steven screaming]
[guard]
I'm okay!
- [screaming, then laughs]
- [whooping, than laughs]
[audience cheering]
Each contestant will sing
an original song for your votes.
First up is the Calcutta crooner, Raji!
You don't have to see the sun to know
It's shining somewhere
And if you knew where to look
You'd discover what I mean
There's a magic that hides
Between the black and white
Just waiting to be seen
If you believe
Then you'll be free
To see the world
And what can be believed
You can rise above
Uh...
I don't know if this is such a good idea.
I think Tiny is onto me.
Do you wanna be a local soap star,
or a world-renowned Pup Star?
- Now get out there and do your job.
- And shake your bon-bons
- like it's nobody's business.
- Eh...
Okay. [chuckles] Good talk.
I can do that.
I knew that dirty rat was up to something.
- [audience cheering]
- Pup Star will be right back.
Tiny, something big is up.
- Bark, he's making...
- Oh, do tell.
Bark has what?
[groans]
This is what's become of the hack parade.
You lost the brightest star you had
- when you kicked me off.
- What are you doing?
Ask them. They're all in on it.
You're in on what?
Bark dognapped our families.
Yeah, man.
We been instructed to vote for Julio or...
Or it's curtains for all of them.
You really should pay more attention.
Thought you'd remember these dulcet tones.
Julio, you're part of this, too?
Let's just say fame has a price,
and I'm willing to pay it.
You'll vote for him, too,
if you wanna see your sister again.
What have you done with Scrappy?
Copy. All right, everyone,
we are live in five. Live in five.
You know how this has to end.
Just try to be professionals about it.
[cheering]
Our final contestant puts the bow-wow
in Chihuahua.
- It's Julio!
- [audience cheering]
[music playing]
Who is your fantasy?
It's really no mystery
I think we can all agree
It's Julio
The bravest in all the land
More handsome than you can stand
Whose amour is in demand?
It's Julio
[backup 1]
Julio
- Only Julio
- [backup 2] Julio
Can make all the girls go bow-wow-wow
[backup 1]
Bow-wow-wow
- Yes, Julio
- [backup 2] Julio
You must admit he's the cat's meow
What a chump.
- [backup 1] Meow, meow
- [backup 2] Come on
- So let me explain...
- Stop.
- What is perfectly plain
- This dog's a fraud!
- How dare you interrupt!
- [Bark] You are the moth
- And I am Julio
- Are you kidding me right now?
- Well, who's singing while you're talking?
- Necesito Julio
- [laughs] This is a good question.
- [Bark singing in Spanish]
This is a very good question. [chuckles]
- [booing]
- [Julio chuckling]
I... Must be some kind
of technical difficulties.
- Julio
- [audience booing]
[booing]
[booing continues]
No. No!
Julio is hereby disqualified
for lip-syncing and voice fakery.
This can't be happening.
Strike three, I'm out of here.
Wait, we can't.
Bark has Scrappy
and the judges' families held hostage.
Not anymore, sis.
Scrappy, you're okay.
Turns out Bark and Roland
are lousy dognappers.
Tiny, I'm so sorry.
I should've called back.
It's not your fault. It's Bark's.
He's trying to ruin Pup Star.
Yeah, Bark and that clown Julio
are going down together.
It was all Bark's idea.
I was merely a pawn in this scheme.
And I'd have gotten away with it
if it wasn't for you pups.
Bark, stick a fork in yourself.
- You're cooked, you crook.
- [growling]
I'll be back. Just wait and see.
This time next year,
I'll have my own reality show.
- [audience booing]
- [laughing]
No. No, please!
I'm too famous to go to jail.
And too lazy for community service.
Please, no!
Come on, move it short stuff.
Off you go, Julio.
Yeah, toddle on back to obscurity.
- [clapping]
- Patch us into the prison.
Are we on?
Am I FaceSkyping yet?
- [audience laughing]
- You're on, Mama. Are you okay?
Oh, yes.
They came around with a good talking to.
And I met this nice gentlemen, Butch.
Hey, kiddo.
Say hi to your new stepdad.
A match made in prison?
That's not gonna be easy
to explain to the rellis'.
I'm so sorry, Your Highness, that
you're so embarrassed by your own mother.
Again with the guilt trip.
Dad. Check out our funny new game.
Dance!
No! Never!
[laughing]
- Do it.
- [clicks]
- Ooh. [laughing]
- [audience laughing]
[laughing]
- [laughing]
- [Dog Gnarly laughs]
That's my pups, man.
Always looking on the bright side.
[all laughing]
Grandpa!
- Oh, you old rascal, are you all right?
- Hello, lad.
Just playing cribbage
with me new mates.
Well, like you always say, Grandpa,
no one makes friends like a Growl.
Well, I'm sorry, you never know
what's gonna happen on live television,
but, sadly, my producer tells me
we will not be able to crown a champion
this year.
[all groaning]
Wait a second.
We can't let the actions of a few bad dogs
like Bark and Julio
destroy the purity of Pup Star.
Hear, hear!
If there's one thing I can't abide,
it's cynicism.
Bad dogs like Bark
are willing to do anything to be famous.
But Pup Star's not about that.
Music is the universal language
that brings us together.
- Preach it, sister.
- We came here because we wanted to sing,
and to make people happy
all over the world.
That's what Pup Star is really about.
We all in this together, man. One love!
[Tiny] Raj, Mobo, Ming, and Scrappy
have all worked so hard to get here.
The contestants,
the judges,
the audience.
We have to let our voices be heard.
We are one pack, one voice,
one world singing together in harmony.
Yeah! Everybody get in on this jam!
Hey, wait for us.
It ain't a party without Scrappy.
[all]
Everyone is invited
The whole world is united
You can feel the excitement
We're spreading joy tonight
All the flags are waving
From every single nation
So raise your paws high into the sky
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
- Wanna howl at the moon in Mexico
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Shake your tail to the rhythm of India
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen to the melodies of China
Wanna bang on the drums of Africa
Oh, yeah
I see stars all around the world
Feels like home everywhere I go
I hear music everywhere
And there's one thing that I know
We're one pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
One pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Wanna howl at the moon in Mexico
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Shake your tail to the rhythm of India
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen to the melodies of China
Wanna bang on the drums of Africa
I'm gonna be a rock star
I see stars all around the world
Feels like home everywhere I go
I hear music everywhere
And there's one thing that I know
We're one pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
One pack, one voice, one world
And we're singing in harmony
[cheering and fireworks exploding]
["Take Care of Each Other" playing]
[Renald]
Over the land and the ocean
Smiles shine like the sun
Oh
Reaching out to everyone
Everybody come along
Join the laughter
Come together
We can all take care of each other
Reaching out to everyone
Everybody come along
Join the laughter
Come together
We can all take care of each other
["Free To Be" playing]
[woman]
You've been waiting...
Jimmy. I've always had a burning question.
Are you married?
And not just tall for a Chihuahua.
Like, regular tall, you know?
Anything you wanna be
Free to choose your destiny
Yay!
Prison riot! Freedom for all!
The hero of your story
Free to grab the glory
When you're with me you are free to be
["Slum Dog" playing]
[Aditya]
Every slum dog knows the score
It's an uphill climb
From the bottom floor
To make it to the top
You gotta want it more
That's for sure
You've gotta want it more
Now, I'm a slumdog, that's a fact
But I'll show the world
I'm more than that
More than that
My music is what makes me strong
Makes me strong
Gonna sing my song
Desire
- Take me higher
- [backup] Higher
[Aditya]
I'm a slum dog
But not for long
Gonna sing my song
Gonna prove you wrong
I'm a slum dog
But what you see is only part of me
I'm more than a slum dog
You gotta sacrifice to sing the blues
It takes more than money
To pay your dues
When you start with nothing
There's nothing to lose
Just show me the mountain
And I'll make it move
No one ever dreams about second best
Gotta put the extra mile
To get ahead of the rest
If you wanna be more
Than a face in the crowd
You've got to sing it loud
Desire
- Take me higher
- [backup 1] Higher
- [Aditya] I'm a slum dog
- [backup 2] Yeah
[Aditya]
But not for long
Gonna sing my song
Gonna prove you wrong
- I'm a slum dog
[backup 2] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Aditya]
But what you see Is only part of me
I'm more than a slum dog
[music playing]
[Bark]
Who is your fantasy?
It's really no mystery
I think we can all agree
- It's Julio
- [backup 1] Wha, wha, wha
[Bark]
The bravest in all the land
More handsome than you can stand
Whose amour is in demand?
It's Julio
- Only Julio
- [backup 2] Julio
- You must admit he's the cat's meow
- [backup 2] Cat's meow
Meow, meow, meow
[Bark] So let me explain
What is perfectly plain
You are the moth and I am the flame
Julio
Necesito Julio
