Wicket thought his friends would help rebuild the wagon. "Okay, what do we have to do?" asks Paploo
Unfortunately, the Ewoks think Wicket's despair over the Duloks stealing the battlewagon is a laughing matter
Nearly the same scene; amazing to me that each character has it's own full body cel for these group shots
"I don't think the Duloks are smart enough to figure out how it works" Chirpa reassures Wicket after the Duloks steal it
and he's right; they don't. At first...
Erpham Warrick appears to tell Wicket "you should never apologise for trying hard"
"Look at me. Do you think it was easy for me to build that wagon with all those Ewoks gawking and laughing?"
Erpham's inspiration: "You shouldn't quit once you put your mind to something"
