Can you believe that Fixies are Such itty-bitty creatures?
Even when they’re magnified It’s hard to see their features.
They’re tiny, infinitesimal, So small it makes you doubt.
But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don’t let their secret out!
SMS
Hey!
All clear!
Oh, take a look!
A mobile phone!
You think they bought Tom Thomas a new one?
Oh wow!
Nolik, stop!
Awesome!
Turn around!
Tom Thomas, help us, please!
We’re trying to save your telephone!
That's not mine.
Oh! Katya left it behind!
Katya!
She’s gone. It's too late.
Oh, an SMS just came in.
You won't read it, will you?
Of course not.
But what if it's something important?
Tom Thomas!
Don’t you even dare go and read her letters!
Uh-huh... Pretty interesting.
Lookie! It's just a ton of these messages!
Now, Nolik, you go and distract him from the telephone!
Uh-huh!
Chewsocka, hey!
It’s me, your buddy Nolik!
Hey there!
- Help me! - Chewsocka, cut it out!
Stop it!
That's enough with the barking!
Out of this room! Right now!
Done!
Well, power is off now.
What’s up? It stopped working all of a sudden.
Oh, it looks like you've broken it.
What? No way!
You did too!
Well, Tom Thomas, now you’ll have to give Katya her phone back like this.
I just don't get it.
It happened because you were reading someone else's mail!
It was just an SMS!
An SMS is no different from a letter,
it's only shorter.
People send SMS's through their mobile phones,
and that's why looking inside someone else’s phone and reading their SMSs
is just as rude as reading someone else’s mail.
And that's why when we Fixies work inside of a phone,
we always put our headphones on when a call comes in.
So we won't overhear people’s private conversations by accident.
It's just the polite thing to do!
I promise, I won't read anyone else’s messages.
But that's not gonna make the mobile work again.
Now what? Tell him the truth?
Don't you worry, Tom Thomas, because we turned the phone off.
And now we'll turn it back on.
See that? The contact's barely attached.
We just need to write a note to the Fixies who work over at Katya’s.
I'm sure they'll fix it.
There are Fixies living in every home,
and the work they have to do can seem endless.
The TV starts acting up, then the doorbell breaks,
the washing machine stops running, and then the phone won’t ring.
And besides all of that there is cleaning and there's oiling
like the appliances in the kitchen, or kids’ toys and all those other things.
Modern houses are literally stuffed with all sorts of devices.
And that is why the Fixies keep working day in and day out.
Unfortunately this can make Fixies get carried away by their jobs,
and they can forget about their fixie relatives and close friends
that live in the neighboring houses and apartments.
And that's not right.
Just like humans, Fixies have to remember to go and visit each other more often
and write each other letters or at least send their regards.
That’s all! It’s working again.
You're the best!
Now I can give a call to Katya and tell her she left her phone over here.
Tom Thomas, is that you calling?
Yeah.
And to who?
Katya.
And her phone is where?
TomThomas, good catch!
Boy, you’re fast!
Just like a… like a…
Like a fixie!
They take care of our machines, Irons, phones, and toasters,
MP3s and TV screens, Even rollercoasters!
Without them clocks stop ticking; Without them lights go out!
But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don’t let their secret out!
The Laboratory
...help!
You've got to get to the school. Right away!
What did he say?
That we've got to get to the school.
How come?
- Did you hear why? - I didn't. Did you?
I wonder if Simka didn't go to school today?
Or if Nolik got into some kind of mischief!
I’m worried this is something serious.
And that's five, six…
I like this hair style!
Seven, eight…
Hi there!
Hello, Verda. Where's Grandpus?
I'm not postive,
but go and look in the Chemistry Area over there.
Over in Chemistry?
Tell us, was Nolik doing anything wrong today?
Nolik? He's always fooling around.
Right.
So we're not here for anything Nolik did.
Maybe something awful happened to him!
Like what?
Well, how about anything! This isn't just a school for Fixies.
This is a laboratory!
The Laboratory where Professor Eugenius works is always humming.
In the Mechanical Zone Professor Eugenius tests all sorts of different devices
to see how well they are made.
In the Chemistry Zone he conducts experiments on the quality and safety of food.
In the Electrical Zone he repairs electrical devices and checks their safety.
Unfortunately, the Professor can be absentminded,
and that can cause things in his laboratory to bubble,
spark,
or even explode!
Masiya, there's nothing to worry about yet.
But how can I not worry?
Digit, have you seen Nolik anywhere?
Do you know if anything's happened to him?
This is a laboratory here,
who knows what could happen to anyone.
Like what?
What are you saying?
Like that. I told you. Things happen here.
- And where…? - Let’s go! Quickly!
Masiya, no need to panic!
- Toola, where…? - Oh, it's so good you’re here.
We really need your help!
What is going on?
Grandpus!
What?!
Where?!
In the Mechanical Zone... there!
And Simka and Nolik?
There. They're all there!
Oh, my children!
Don't lose your head!
Masiya is my wife and the mother of our children Simka and Nolik.
Masiya is a real beauty,
a kind and gentle soul, and a wonderful homemaker.
She is also a very responsible, and extremely skilled fixie.
She is our family's expert in kitchen appliances and gadgets.
Masiya works from morning till night
fixing and cleaning anything that is in need of her expert care,
because she just loves when everything is clean and tidy.
But most important for Masiya are her children.
She takes loving care of Simka and Nolik
and tries to protect them from harm.
Masiya worries about them so much
that sometimes her imagination gets carried away with what might have happened to them.
Although our little Nolik can get himself into situations
that even Masiya could never have dreamed of.
Nolik!
Hang on tight! We'll save you!
- Heeeey! - You’re alive!
What's going on? I don't need to be saved from anything.
So, it's Simka we need to save? Not you?
I don’t need saving either. I'm fine.
And what are you so worried about?
Everyone's alive.
Then why did you make us come here?
I need you to help with a little accident we had.
Nolik!
Was this your fault?!
Oh no! It’s not Nolik’s fault.
Quite the opposite, he was trying to help me fix it.
Papus, we need you to help us with one of the pieces that we couldn't get back in place.
This one?
Tideesh!
A perfect repair!
That was really the only reason we had to rush here?
Why not?
There was just no way we could let this wait, so I sent for you.
- But Fire said… - Why Fire?
Why is it always Fire?
How come you had to scare us so badly?!
I'm not the one who scared you,
you did that all by yourselves!
