This is another very entertaining animated scene, typical of Disney at their finest. In this scene our travellers encounter a number of interesting fishy characters including a pair of Latin dancing electric eels, a pair of Flamenco dancing lobsters and a barber shop singing group enclosed in a giant clam shell. The entertainment appears to be going swimmingly (please excuse the pun) when, suddenly, the assembled fish take fright and swim away to hide as a large fishing hook descends to catch the bed framework before hauling it to the surface of the lagoon.

Answer: Treguna Mekoides Tracorum Satis Dee

Treguna Mekoides Tracorum Satis Dee was the incantation to the spell that make objects come alive. Paul found this out from his book, that was about the Isle of Naboombu.

Answer: Vultures

On each incidence that Professor Browne meets with misfortune on the field of play, the vultures pick up their stretcher and race excitedly to collect him only to face disappointment. After being trampled underfoot by the yellow team the vultures run gleefully toward his prostrate figure until the king picks him up and dusts him down as play continues. From this point onward chaos ensues on the pitch with each team making attempts on goal by fair means or foul... but mostly foul! As the teams follow the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, the unfortunate Professor Browne is knocked down and trampled underfoot again and again with the vultures being resigned to returning to the side-lines each time. The mayhem continues until the ball is burst by the rhino playing for the yellow team and the king ends the game by simply blowing the deflated ball across the blue team's goal-line. The king wins!

Battle is joined and the Germans, who stand no chance against their enchanted enemy, are beaten back into the sea... England is saved! Hurrah!
