Hello there, Harriett Elizabeth Cow.
Well, moo hoo, Donkey Hodie!
Who's the lucky ducky that present's for?
That?
Well that is a present I made for you, Donkey Hodie... For me?
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Present!
Present!
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
Well now I made this present for you... And Duck Duck, and Bob Dog, and Purple Panda.
And oh it is so much fun!
So much fun?
Hee Haw!
Present!
Donkey, Donkey, Donkey, Donkey, Donkey... What what?
Well now you have to wait for the others to get here, hun.
But Harriett, you said it's so much fun!
I did!
I just can't wait for something that's so much fun.
Oh, I know that, but you see this present only works if all four of you are together.
If one of you is missing, the present won't work.
Oh, you are gonna have so much fun with the present.
Oh, I'm going to gather the others... Good idea.
Yes.
Yes.
Go gather them, please... -...but, uh, Donkey... -Hm?
Now please promise me you'll wait for everyone to get here.
I, Donkey Hodie, promise to wait.
Hee haw, where is it?
Donkey!
Hi!
Can't talk right now, Panda, I'm looking for something really important.
Something really important?
Oooh!
I can't wait to see something really important!
Come on!
Where are ya?
Oh, I gotta find it!
Hee-haw!
I found it!
Panda!
I found it!
Panda?
Where'd you go?
Hi!
Oh!
Look!
The official Hoof Dancing Hat!
Hooray!
You found the official Hoof Dancing Hat!
Uh, but what is Hoof Dancing?
Hoof Dancing is a hee hawesome kind of dancing with lots of clomps and spins and kicks.
Oh!
In fact, Grampy Hodie's a Hoof Dancer.
[Panda] Wow!
Looks like Grampy really knows how to hoof it!
I'm impressed!
Well, you're about to be even more impressed.
Because I, Donkey Hodie, am gonna be a hoof dancer too!
Oh yeah!
This is looking hee-hawesome!
Hey Donkey!
Hey!
Whatcha doing?
Oh ho ho, just something very exciting, Panda!
Ohhh!
I like exciting!
Then get ready my purple pal because, for the first time ever...
Yes?
Yes?
I'm making Grampy a surprise breakfast.
A surprise breakfast for Grampy?
Shh!
Shhh!
Shh!
It's a surprise, so we gotta be quiet.
Oh, right.
Shhhh.
A surprise.
What kind of surprise breakfast are you making him?
Flying Flapjacks!
Flying flapjacks for Grampy's surprise breakfast!
Shhhh... shhh... shhh... [whispering] Oh, right, sorry.
Surprise.
I meant... Pancakes that fly right into your mouth?
Yeah!
Grampy always makes them for me.
But today, I'm going to make them for him, all by myself!
Hey, maybe I can help.
I help my momma make Flying Flapjacks all the time.
She lets me whisk...
Check out my moves, Donkey.
Little bit of that.
Then a little of this.
Wow!
Wonderful whisking technique, Panda, and thanks, but I really want to do this by myself to show Grampy how much I love him.
Wow.
That is one lucky Grampy!
But come back later and have breakfast with us.
I'm invited to Grampy's surprise flying flapjack breakfast?
Shh.
Shh.
Right.
It's a surprise.
See you later... Bye!
Okay, now I, Donkey Hodie, will make Flying Flapjacks for Grampy!
- Whew!
It's hot!
Oh boy!
- Whoa.
Oh, it really is hot.
Hey!
Hey, I know what I'm going to do.
I, Donkey Hodie, will help you all to cool off!
All: Hooray!
- Thank you so much, Donkey Hodie!
- You're welcome, Clyde the Cloud!
Now what should I do?
Hmm...
Duck Duck: Hey there, Donkey, I see you're all uncertain about how to cool everybody off and I'd love to help you out 'cause you know they say I'm one cool duckie, so... - (Giggles) Yeah, you are one cool duckie, Duck Duck!
- Aww, thanks!
- And I'm thinking we need something... cold.
- Yup-yup.
And oh, something refreshing.
Both: (Gasp) A lemonade stand!
- Yup-yup!
We can cool off the whole town with some fresh-squeezed... - Thirst-quenching... - ice-cold...
Both: Lemonade!
Now, let's play!
Yeah!
Okay, Panda!
I'm open, bud!
KING FRIDAY: Uh oh!
Oh no, King Friday!
King Friday, what happened?
I'm not quite sure.
I was digging a hole and the next thing I knew, I was like this.
Uh... [grunting efforts] Royal groan!
What's wrong now, King Friday?
Oh!
I want to build my royal sandcastle so badly, but it's not going the way I want and I feel so very, very frustrated!
I'm sorry you're feeling so frustrated, King Friday.
Well, it's okay!
For I know a way to make myself feel better.
It is time for the Royal Runaround!
DONKEY: How does doing the Royal Runaround help you feel better?
When I jog in small circles it helps me get rid of all those frustrated feelings I have inside and calm down.
Ahh!
There we go!
Now I feel refreshed!
My mind is clear!
My body isn't as tense!
And I'm ready to build again!
Hooray for the Royal Runaround!
Good luck, King Friday!
Thank you!
Here comes the beachball, Donkey!
I'm ready this time!
KING FRIDAY: Uh oh!
Oh no, King Friday!
Wouldn't you know, it happened again!
[grunting] Royal groan!
Sound like you're getting frustrated again.
You're correct!
Oh!
Does this mean...
Yes!
Yes!
It's time once again for the Royal Runaround!
PANDA: Wow!
He's really good at the Royal Runaround!
He sure is!
Ah!
There we go!
Now I feel better.
Well, that's it for me.
I'll be going now.
What?
Going?
What about your Royal Sandcastle?
I don't think I'll be able to build it.
You see, I don't actually know anything about building sandcastles and I'm afraid if I keep trying I'll just keep feeling frustrated!
So, ta-ta... Oh, wait, wait, wait, King Friday, we know a bit about building sandcastles.
You do?
Would you help me build one?
Yeah!
I, Donkey Hodie... And I, Purple Panda... Will help you build your sandcastle!
And I know what this special seed needs right now.
For me to plant it!
Hi!
Hey Panda!
Just in time.
Wanna see me plant my Ungrowdenia seed?
Ungrowdenia?
Yeah, yeah, it's different from all these other flowers.
The Ungrowdenia is an amazingly magic flower!
Whoa, you had me at "amazingly"...
The Ungrowdenia can grow then un-grow and turn back into a seed.
Uh, wait!
You can un-grow it?
Yeah!
What?
You just cover the top of the Ungrowdenia.
When it gets no sunlight, it will un-grow back into a seed!
Amazingly magic, huh?
Whoa!
You had me at "magic"!
The un-growing part is pretty neat, but I'm more excited to grow it!
And today, I, Donkey Hodie, am going to grow an Ungrowdenia!
It's time for Someplace Else's favorite gameshow-- Teamwork Challenge!
And here's your host... Gameshow Gator!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
And welcome to Teamwork Challenge!
The game that can only be won by using teamwork!
Now let's meet today's team.
First up, Donkey Hodie!
[audience cheering] Hello, Gameshow Gator!
Donkey Hodie, are you ready to play Teamwork Challenge?
Sure am!
I love working together to solve problems!
[audience cheering] Well, that's the teamwork spirit!
Ha ha!
Now let's meet the rest of the amazing team!
Next up is Duck Duck!
[audience cheering] Yeah!
Being around water helps this ducky think-think!
Mmm hmm!
And now, here's Bob Dog!
[audience cheering] Bow wow, am I excited to play!
Now let's meet the last team member, here he is, Purple Panda!
[audience cheering] Hi.
Um.
I was so nervous about playing that I took a trip to outer space to calm down.
See...
Okay!
Well, let's hear it for Purple Panda, playing from outer space.
[audience applauding] And now it's time to play Teamwork Challenge!
[audience cheering] And today's challenge is: The Vault of Awesome Fun!
[audience gasps] Locked inside the Vault of Awesome Fun is an awesomely fun prize that your team can enjoy together.
But to get the prize your team has to unlock the vault!
[audience cheering] -Oo!
How do we unlock it?
-How how?
-How do we do that?
-Yeah what?
In order to unlock the Vault of Awesome Fun, you need to find the items that go in these four spaces.
[audience reacting] wooo Hey-o!
Uh.
How are we supposed to find those items?
I will give you clues for each item.
If you get the correct answer, the box will light up green.
And if you get all four correct, the vault will open and you will win the awesomely fun prize inside!
Are you ready to play?
Yeah!
I, Donkey Hodie, am ready to use teamwork!
Me too!
Me three!
I will try my hardest; yes I will!
Bob Dog?
Hey, Bob Dog?
Oh!
Hey!
Bob Dog!
Are you okay?
[howls] You sound sad.
I am sad!
And disappointed, too!
I lost!
I'm not the fastest fetcher!
[howls] But...
But... You're still a really fast fetcher, Bob Dog!
But I want to be the fastest!
Being fastest makes me feel all bow-wowie... [howls] Hey!
Hey, Bob Dog, hey, how about we play another game of catch?
That might cheer you up!
I'll try to catch the ball and if I miss, you can fetch it.
Ha!
Ooops!
Fetch, Bob Dog!
I can't!
I'm giving up fetching.
Giving it up?
If I can't be the fastest fetcher, then why fetch at all?
Because you love to fetch, Bob Dog.
But I wanna be the fastest!
There's gotta be something else I would love to do and be the best at, so it gives me that bow-wowie feeling.
But how will I ever find it?
I, Donkey Hodie, will help you find something else you love to do.
Okay!
So, to recap...
This is the bobbly ball.
Bobbly Ball, this is Donkey.
Hi!
Oh, I can't wait to play!
How do we play?
I've never played it before, but from what I know, the way that you play Bobbly Ball is... To catch the ball in your net.
That's it?
Yep.
Oh!
You want me to go over the rules again?
Oh no, I think I have it.
You just catch the ball in the net?
That's the game?
Oh no.
That's not all.
Big surprises happen when you catch the ball!
Big surprises?
What big surprises?
That's the best part!
Something different happens every time!
Hee-haw!
One time for my mama, there were laser lights!
Another time for cousin Philbert, giant pinwheels!
I gotta see what surprise there is for me!
Donkey power swing!
Aw.
[grunting efforts] Double aw!
Ahh!
Double ahh!
So strange.
I never saw my Uncle Panda miss two times in a row!
Nothing's going to stop me from seeing a surprise!
I, Donkey Hodie, will catch that Bobbly Ball!
Me too!
DONKEY: Oh yeah.
And when I bounce on the Bobski ten times in a row without stopping or falling, I'll finally be on the Bobski big board.
BOB DOG: Yep!
Everyone who has ever completed the Bobski Bounce challenge has their faces right there on the ol' Big Board!
Well, I'm gonna be up on the ol' Big Board too!
Positive thinking!
That's what I'm talking about!
Oh, I feel good, Bob Dog.
I've been practicing all week long.
And now I'm raring to go!
[squawks] Bobski Bounce challenge time!
Great to see you again, Official Bobski Bounce referee!
Nice to see you, too.
Good luck, Donkey Hodie.
I, Donkey Hodie, am finally ready to complete the Bobski Bounce challenge!
Believe it!
Uh-oh!
Sir Bounce-A-Lot landed in Spooky Shadow Swamp.
It's so spooky!
It's super spooky!
It's spooky-ooky!
What's spooky-ooky?
Uh, that's when something's so spooky that it makes you act ooky!
Oooooky!
Well then yes.
This place is definitely... Spooky-ooky!
[both shudder] We should get away from this spooky place, Donkey.
Good idea!
Hee-haw, hold it!
Why are we stopping?
We can't just leave Bob Dog's ball here.
What?
Sure we can!
We'll tell him exactly where it landed.
He'll understand!
After all this Spooky Shadow Swamp is... Spooky-ooky!
[both shudder] But we're the ones who made the ball land in Spooky Shadow Swamp.
And this is Bob Dog's most favorite ball!
We should be the ones to get it back!
You don't mean?
Yes I do mean.
I, Donkey Hodie, am gonna get Bob Dog's ball back!
Why are you hiding and playing cymbals?
Oh!
I'm practicing for my concert with the Hidden Orchestra!
The Hidden Orchestra?
What's the Hidden Orchestra?
Ooh!
It's a group that hides while it plays music!
And I'm a part of it!
-You are?
-Mmm hmm!
We musicians can hide anywhere.
Behind the mailbox...
Inside a bush...
Even behind a stack of flying flapjacks.
Hee-haw!
The Hidden Orchestra has two of my favorite things-- music and hiding!
Do you think I can join?
Uh, well, let me think.
Uhh.
Uh yeah!
Hee-haw!
Ha ha!
What do I have to do to join?
Well, don't ask me, ask the Moustro!
The Moustro?
Whoa!
PANDA: That's the Moustro!
She's in charge of the Hidden Orchestra.
Did someone say they want to join the Hidden Orchestra?
Oooh!
Yes!
Me!
I want to join!
Splendid!
But if you want to join you must first complete the Hidden Orchestra Scavenger Hunt!
I'm in!
What do I have to do?
The rules are simple.
The Hidden Orchestra will play music.
While the music plays, you must find three hidden instruments being played in three different places.
Three instruments, three places.
Got it!
What are they?
A trumpet by the front of your windmill!
A violin in your garden!
And a drum by your big tree!
If you find these before the music ends, you will become a member of the Hidden Orchestra!
Hooray!
You think you can remember all that?
Of course I can!
Well, in that case... Ooh!
The concert's about to begin.
Hee-haw!
I, Donkey Hodie, am about to become a member of the Hidden Orchestra!
It's time for... Masked Veggies!
Whoa!
And here's the host of Masked Veggies, Gameshow Gator!
Thank you!
Thank you, very much!
Gameshow Gator!
Gameshow Gator!
Rah!
Rah!
Rah!
Hello one and all!
Now let's see who today's lucky player is!
Today's contestant is... Purple Panda!
Hey-o!
Wow, that Purple Panda sure is one lucky guy!
Uh, you're Purple Panda, Purple Panda!
Uh, oh yeah!
That is me!
And you are today's lucky contestant!
I am?
Yes, you are!
[sighs] I think we're gonna need a timeout, Gameshow Gator!
Time out!
What's wrong, Panda pal?
I feel afraid, Donkey!
Afraid?
What are you afraid of?
Oh, I'm afraid I won't know the answers?
I'm afraid that I'll say something silly?
Uh, I'm afraid that I'll put on a Santa beard and start singing Jingle Bells.
Why would you put on a Santa beard and start singing Jingle Bells?
Sometimes I do really silly things when I'm afraid.
Well, you're really good at games, aren't you?
I guess so.
And you know lots about veggies.
Oh, yeah.
Vegetables are a passion of mine.
Well, then I'm sure you're gonna do great!
And guess what.
I, Donkey Hodie, am going to cheer you on!
Hee haw!
This is the best super duper sleepover ever!
- Yup, and now comes the sleep part of the sleepover.
- Yep.
Goodnight, Purple Panda.
- Goodnight, Donkey Hodie.
Hmm.
(Claps) Ahhh... (Crickets chirp) (Panda snores) ♪♪♪ (Panda snoring) Donkey: (Frightened gasps) Yaaaaaah!
Aaaaaah!
- Huh?
Wha-aahhh!
(Claps) Wh-what's wrong, Donkey?
- There's a monster on the floor over there!
- Where?
- Over there!
- Uh, no, I-I don't see a monster in my room, Donkey.
♪♪♪ Donkey: Oh.
It must have been my imagination.
Sorry about that, Panda.
- No problem, Donkey.
Is it okay if I turn the lights back out now?
- It's okay by me.
- Okay.
Mm!
(Claps) Goodnight, Donkey.
- Sleep tight, Purple Panda.
(Donkey and Panda sigh) ♪♪♪ - (Frightened gasp) Aaaaaaah!
Aaah!
Aaah!
- Wha-?
Oh!
(Claps) What's wrong?
- I'm telling you, there's something out there!
A monster on the floor!
- No, Donkey, there's never been any monsters or anything scary in my room, ever.
- Huh.
You're right.
There's nothing scary in here at all.
- Yeah, see?
Goodnight, Donkey.
(Claps) - Goodnight, Purple Panda.
- Ahhh... ahh... (Panda snores) ♪♪♪ Panda: (Frightened gasp) Aaaaah!
Oh!
I see it!
Ah-aah!
Something scary!
Donkey: Ohhh!
(Gasps) Very scary!
- Oh!
Both: Aaaaaaaah!
Panda: Ohhh!
Donkey: Oh no!
Our super duper sleepover is in super duper trouble!
- Oh yeah, we're not sleeping!
How do you have a sleepover if you don't sleep?
- Oh!
What do we do?
- I don't know!
Does this mean our sleepover is over?
- No way!
I, Donkey Hodie, will not let our sleepover be over!
Hee-hawesome!
There are so many ways to make art.
- Mm-hm!
Oh!
And well, here's one more.
(Humming) Voilà!
I call it "The Cow Jumped Over the Prune!"
- "Cow Jumped Over the Prune?"
(Giggles) I love it!
- Oh, thank you!
And I made it all out of recycled materials.
See, plastic milk bottle, and paper bags.
- Oh, I wanna make art out of recycled stuff too.
- Oh, that's wonderful, Donkey.
See you solved your problem.
- Sure did.
- Now go forth, young Donkey and make some art!
- I will and thank you so much for the idea.
I, Donkey Hodie, am now ready to make some art!
Hee-haw!
