This is the transcript of The Great Chase, a short film released for the 2022 film Hilda and the Lost Ring.

Transcript
(As the Sony Pictures Animation and the Silvergate Media logo appears, the title "The Great Chase!" appears in the sky, which blows away in the wind. Pan down to Trolberg, where Hilda, Alfur, and Twig are hanging out at the Trolberg port.)

Alfur: There! I've got it all done! Hilda!

Hilda: Hey, Alfur. You've got it all finished?

Alfur: Yep. Now all I have to do is send it to the elves via Cedric, and then we'll be all finished.

Hilda: Great! Let's head to the Lost Clan.

(The three leave the port.)

Hilda: Oh wow, a lot of crows out here today. This is not like Trolberg.

(Cut to show around 20 crows in the sky.)

Alfur: Let's just hope we're careful. One hit, and you're done for.

(A crow flies low under them.)

Hilda: Woah! Jeez, this place is infested!

Alfur: This is definitely not the best part of Trolberg: Uncontrollable crows!

(As they try to get through, another crow flies under them, unknowingly taking Alfur's paperwork.)

Alfur: Oh no! My paperwork!

(The crow flies off with the paperwork.)

Hilda: Uh-oh. This is not good.

Alfur: "Uh-oh" indeed! We have to chase after it!

Hilda: Okay.

(Hilda, Alfur, and Twig chase after the crow. When they cross an intersection, a car stops abruptly.)

Driver: Hey! Watch it!

Hilda: Sorry!

Alfur: Quickly! It's getting away!

(The crow passes the Trolberg wall.)

Alfur: Great, now what are we gonna do?!

Hilda: Hold on, let me think.

(She sees some Woffs migrating near a building that can be accessible by ladder.)

Hilda: Wait a minute... I've got an idea.

(She runs for the ladder. Twig follows her.)

Alfur: Hilda, what are you doing?

Hilda: We're jumping on a woff.

Alfur: Are you crazy?! You remember what happened the last time you did that, right?

Hilda: Yeah, but I'm more experienced now.

Alfur: No! Don't!

(Hilda jumps off the building, along with Twig. They land and ride on a Woff.)

Hilda: See, Alfur? Told ya I'd do it.

Alfur: For now!

(The woff takes them outside of Trolberg. A couple of seconds pass by, and they are still riding it.)

Alfur: Where is it?

Hilda: I don't see it anywhere.

(Alfur takes a look again, and spots the crow going to a watermill.)

Alfur: There! In the watermill!

Hilda: Then let's get there- Whoa!

(The Woff is shaking itself. Twig falls off the Woff, and so do Hilda and Alfur. They land in a lake that's right by the watermill.)

Alfur: I told you that would happen again!

Hilda: Enough of that now. We've still got time to catch that crow before it's too late.

(They swim to ground and walk to the entrance of the watermill.)

Hilda: Man, this place looks old as heck!

Alfur: Yeah, whoever made this place, needs to make a serious rebuild of this... Mess.

Hilda: Yeah... Hey look! There it is!!

Alfur: Alright you evil crow, give me back my paperwork! IT'S MINE!!!

(The crow flies out to them, hitting Hilda in the face.)

Hilda: Ow!

(Twig charges at the crow, but the crow dodges it.)

Alfur: Don't worry, Hilda! I got ya!

(Alfur lands on the crow, attempting to punch it.)

Alfur: You. Let. Go. Of. My. Paperwork! WHOA!

(The crow manages to shake Alfur off it.)

Alfur: What are we gonna do?! This crow is so good!

Hilda: Come on! Think! Think! Think!

(She notices a rope on a wooden ceiling.)

Hilda: I think I got it!
