They finally find the book and it's titled ''The Spells of Astoroth''. But the end of the book is missing! Now to find the missing half of the book they go to Portobello Road where all the vendors of "treasures" are, including booksellers. While she hunts around the vendors for the book, he sings and plays piano, and there's a great deal of dancing about by various people. Mostly quite silly.

| + | There's a bunch more dancing about. The vendors all close up shop and then the sinister-looking fella now pulls a knife on them. They are ordered to the Bookman. He has the other half of the book, but when they exchange their halves they discover the magical spell is not actually '''in''' the book. But the book tells that the spell is on a magical '''Star of Astoroth''' which is missing. Astoroth it turns out kept animals, which eventually rebelled against him, took a ship and sailed to the Isle of Naboombu, evidently taking the star medallion with them. The bookman threatens Paul to give him this book, but instead they all escape on the traveling bed. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNSyicS-xgk&feature=related Part 8]. | ||
| − | + | Now our party arrives on the Isle of Naboombu. Or rather they plunge into the lagoon next to it. For this part of the movie, everything except them is now rendered as cartoon. Now underwater, but able to breathe it anyway, they meet a talking cartoon-fish. Now we get another song from the Professor. And a lot of antics from cartoon sea-creatures. And then Miss Price and the Professor dance together again, and win a trophy. A big hook comes down, grabs the bed and pulls the whole group to the surface. The fisherman turns out to be a talking cartoon-bear. They insist that they have to see the King, who turns out to be a cartoon-lion in a very bad temper.

| + | The King is royally upset because the soccer match cannot take place that day, because there is no referee. Professor Brown volunteers. As they talk, he notices that the star medallion is on a ribbon around this king's neck. Then begins a rather one-sided soccer match one team being composed of nasty, aggressive, toothy animals, and the other side, being meek, gentle animals.
