[ georgina ]
put it over there.
[ grunting ]

No. Too close to
the gourmet ice sculpture.
Put it there.

[ Grunting ]

No. It'll get in the way
of the limited edition
hors d'oeuvres. Try there.

Perfect, I think.

I hope.
It has to be perfect.

- [ peanut ] oodle-ay, ootsie.
- ooodle-ay, bootsie.

Hey, pb&j.

Wow. What's all this
stuff for ?

[ Unenthusiastically ]
we're having a party.

It's going to be
the biggest--
and the best--

In poodle history.

We're having a big band.
A famous singer.

And the finest dog food
money can buy.

Boy, for a couple of poodles
that are about to have
a huge party,

Y'all don't look
very happy.

- We're not.
- How come ?

It's very, very, very important
that our dad impress his boss,
mr. Bigdog.

Because if he doesn't--

We'll have to move away
from lake hoohaw.

- You're kidding.
- I wish we were.

But we aren't.
[ Sobs ]

Daddy's boss said if all
his important business friends
don't like the party,

Then he's moving
us to outer...

Poochovia.

- That's bad, isn't it ?
- Uh-huh. [ Sniffs ]

- This is terrible !
- Please excuse us.

We have to get back
to worrying.

Boy, jelly, I never knew
a party could be so serious.

Me either, peanut.
Maybe there's a way
we can help with the party.

Potty, potty !

It's not "potty", butter.
It's "party."

Uh-oh. Potty.

Hey !
Wait up, butter !

[ edouard ]
twenty cases of imported
bubbly soda. Check.

sixty dozen personalized
big buck balloons. Check.

Rare and expensive--
[ gasps ]
uh-oh.

- [ Beeping ]
- there's something wrong
with my bank account.

[ Computer ] you don't have
money. You don't have money.
[ Gasps ]

Georgina !

georgina !

What is it, edouard ?

We don't have any money.
[ Gasps ]
no !

I had the weirdest thing
happen.

I dreamt you told me
we don't have money.

Isn't that a scream ?

It wasn't a dream, georgina.
We don't have money.
[ Screams ]

everything's unloaded,
mr. Snooty. Just need
your signature right here.

All righty.

And the money you owe me
for all the party stuff.

Oh, dear. I, uh-- I seem to
have misplaced my checkbook
and I'm a bit shy on cash.

Want a mint ?

Sorry, pal.
No money, no party.

Everything back on the barge !

Hmm ?
[ Gasping ]

Look ! They're taking
all the party stuff away.

Maybe the party's over.
Man, that was fast.

I sure hoped mr. Snooty
impressed his guests.

Yeah. I don't want
the poodles to move away.

Come on.
Let's find out.

[ ootsie ]
but why aren't we having
a big party, daddy ?

Yeah, you said it
was real important.

Well, it was important,
but we don't have money
to pay for it.

- [ Together ] what ?
- What I'm trying to say is,

No money, no party,
no lake hoohaw.

[ Sobs ]
that means we're going
to have to move.

To outer poochovia !

[ All crying ]

Did you hear that ?
[ Sniffs ]
sad.

You said it, butter.
We have to help.

If only there was something
we could do.

There is !
A noodle dance !

I knew you were
gonna say that.
[ Screams ]

[ Laughing ]

♪♪

♪ noodle

♪ noodle

I got it !
We start a small business.

Run it lean and deliver
a high-quality product
that everybody wants.

then we sell our company
to some big mega-corporation
for cash and stock...

And boom-- we're so rich
we can give the snooties
money for their party.

There's only
one teeny problem.

- I don't know what
I'm talking about ?
- Yep.

Hey, I know !
Maybe we can give them
our piggy banks.

[ jelly ] we need a giant
piggysaurus bank to pay
for the snooties' party.

Huh ?

[ Gasping ]

[ Whimpering ]
nah, too scary.

We'd better keep thinking.
We'll figure something out.

Hi.
Hello.
Hi, mrs. Duck.

Hello, mrs. Raccoon.

Bye, mrs. Raccoon.

[ Sighs, gasps ]

- You okay, captain crane ?
- [ crane ] no problem.

Hello, pb&j.

Hi, mayor jeff.
That's it !

The answer to
the snooties' problem is right
in front of our noses.

There's nothing
in front of my nose.

Not there in front
of your nose. There !

food and tables
and chairs and music.

So ?
So all we have to do is
get everybody on lake hoohaw...

To pitch in and put on
the best party ever
for the snooties.

Great idea, jelly !
Let's do it.

Oh !
What is it, kids ?

The snooties need to put on
a humongous poodle party.

Only they don't have any money.
And now they can't afford
all the stuff.

And if mr. Snooties' boss
doesn't like the party--

He's gonna make the snooties
move to outer poochovia.

[ Gasps ]
[ both ]
oh, my.

We don't want ootsie
and bootsie to move away.

So we thought if everyone
in hoohaw pitched in--

We could help save
the snooties' party.

Oh, dear, that's awful.

- Our idea ?
- No, what happened
to the snooties.

Helping your friends
is a great idea, peanut.

And your mom and I
will gladly pitch in.

The snooties are part of
what makes lake hoohaw
lake hoohaw.

And I'm sure everyone else
will feel the same way too.

No. Where is it ?
Aha !

Snooty poodles,
here we come.

[ edouard ] oh, come on now.
moving to outer poochovia
won't be that bad.

You're right, dad.
It won't be that bad.

- It'll be worse !
- Well, my boss and his guests
will be arriving any moment.

Time to face the music.

Mayor jeff ?
What are you doing here ?

- What are all of
you doing here ?
- We heard you might need help.

I don't know what to say.

Oh, I know what to say.
Thank you.

Yes, you're all very kind,

But edouard's boss is expecting
a very expensive, fancy party.

Georgina's right.
I'm not sure this will work.

Well, we're about to find out,
'cause here comes your boss now.
[ motorboat approaching ]

Mr. Bigdog,
how are you today ?

Uh-- we-we can explain
everything.

You don't have to explain.
We can see exactly
what's happened.

- You can ?
- Well, of course.

A country-style hoedown
is a simply brilliant idea.

Yes, snooty. Good job.
I'm impressed.

I'm very impressed.

How quaint.
Bravo, bravo,
I say.

Kudos to the snooties.
Kudos all around.

[ Chattering ]

Excuse me. Can I have
your attention, please ?

Georgina and I
have something to say.

We want you to know we...

Feel very lucky to have
such wonderful friends.

- Thank you.
- [ Chattering ]

Please don't ever hesitate
to speak up and ask for help.
That's what friends are for.

We will. But I just wish there
was someway I could afford
to repay your kindness.

But since we don't have
any money, I guess that's
not likely to happen.

- [ computer beeping ]
- huh ?

- It's a message from the bank.
- You have money.
You have money.

[ Gasps ]
they made a mistake !

We have more money
than ever before !

[ Screaming,
sighs ]

And I know just what
we're going to do with it.

There's your snooty
special clam burger, ernest.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the wonderful party,
edouard.

Well, it's the least
we can do for our friends, opal.

[ Both ]
thanks, pb&j.

We would have hated
living in outer poochovia.

Okay, truth be known, we would
have missed you terribly.

We would have
missed you two too.

- Friends !
- Forever !

[ Laughing ]

[ peanut ]
come on, jelly. Let's go.
we got babbleberries to pick.

I'm coming ! I'm coming !
Wow ! An odella action kite.

Fifty-four more allowances
and I can buy one of my own.

I'll never be able
to wait that long.

jelly ! Hey !
babbleberries !

I'm coming.

Wow, jell, look at 'em all.
Ever seen so many babbleberries
in your whole life ?

Nope. Mayor jeff says
there's more this year
than ever before.

And that means more
babbleberry pie and cobbler
and turnovers and--

Let's get pickin' !

What do you think we should do
with all these berries ?

Hmm. I know !

- Squish 'em ?
- No. Let's sell 'em.

Great idea, jell.
We can open a babbleberry stand.

We can pick 'em.
Mom can cook 'em.

We can sell 'em.
For money !

Wow. With money
I can buy my own
odella action kite.

Money ?
Did someone
say "money" ?

That's music to our ears.

Hey, are you
spying on us ?

Of course not.
We're searching for
buried treasure.

Or not so
buried treasure even.

It's the new get-rich
mega-money treasure finder 330.
It can find money fast.

My treasure finder 660
is twice as good.
It can find money fast fast.

[ Loud clanging ]
[ both scream ]

Found any treasure yet ?

Nope.
But we think your
get rich scheme is great.

- What scheme ?
- Opening a babbleberry stand.

- You do ?
- We do !

And with our poodle know-how--
you're sure to get rich.

And we're sure
to get richer.

Partners ?
Partners.

All right !
Let's do it !

[ Laughing ]

Wow. That sure does
smell good.

You guys are doing great.

I've never seen
so many babbleberry treats.

Six more babbleberry
turnovers. Check.
And double check.

Time to build
our babbleberry stand.

Looks pretty good, huh ?

Well, I guess
it'll have to do.
Yes, whatever.

Then we're open
for business.
Woo-hoo !

These ought to bring
the customers running.

And I brought this
to put the money in.

[ chuckles ]
that little thing ?
that will never do.

You gotta think big
to get the big bucks.

Check this baby out.

The price-checkmatic 4000.

It counts money,
gives change and
even bags the treats.

It also has
an added feature.

[ Beeps ]
give me money.

That's our favorite part.
Bring on the customers !

I'm miserable.
I'm frustrated.

I'm beginning to think
making money is hard, bootsie.

Say it ain't so, ootsie.

I was sure we'd be
rich by now.

Where are all
the customers ?

I don't know.
But we gotta do something !

Well, ootsie and I
are doing something.

- What are you doing ?
- Complaining.

So, what's with you, guys ?
You look like ducks
in the desert.

It's our
babbleberry stand.

We haven't sold a thing.

Cheese and quackers, guys !
What'd you expect ?
[ All ] to get rich.

Selling babbleberries ?
Around here ? Get real.

Whatever are you
talking about ?
Yes, do tell.

Have you noticed anything
unusual about the babbleberries
this year ?

Sure.
They're everywhere.

Exactly.
And what have folks been doing
with all those berries ?

Picking them.
Eating them.

- Making treats with them.
- Right.

Everybody's been eating
nothing but babbleberries
morning, noon and night.

And they can pick more
any time they want.

I see where this is going.

Yeah. Why would anybody
wanna give us money
for babbleberries...

When they can get
all they want for free ?

Bingo, baby !

[ Stomach growls ]
aw, man. Now I gotta
go eat.

All this talk
has made me hungry.

Wanna buy
a babbleberry turnover ?

Yeah, right. Babbleberry.
That's a good one.

Boy, if flick doesn't want
a babbleberry turnover,

Nobody's gonna buy
our stuff.

There goes my kite.

So much
for getting rich.

So much
for getting richer.

You kids look sad.
What's up ?

Nobody wants
our turnovers.

Everyone on lake hoohaw
has all the babbleberries
they need.

That's not the way it is
down in parson's bend.

They're having a terrible
babbleberry shortage.

Really ? They don't have
any babbleberries ?

So I hear.
Your stand might be
a big success down there.

Yeah, but how are we
gonna get to parson's bend ?

With me. It's right
on my delivery route.
[ Gasps ]

Well, what are we waiting for ?
Let's get packing.

[ excited chattering ]

Hurry !
Here come some kids.

We're open.
Just in time.

Wow. Look at all
the babbleberries. Mmm.

Wow, we haven't seen
a single babbleberry here
all year.

Well, now you can buy
all you want.

Wish we could. They're my
little brother's favorite.
Mine too.

Please, anna ? Please ?

No, zack.
You know we don't
have any money.

Peanut and jelly,
ootsie and bootsie,
this is mr. Badger.

Greetings, mr. Badger.

My, my, look at all
the babbleberry treats.

Mmm. Makes my mouth water
just looking at 'em.

- Would you like to buy some ?
- Wish I could, but we don't
have that kind of money.

It's too bad, though.
My family sure loves
babbleberries.

How come he didn't
buy any, dad ?

The folks here in parson's bend
are farmers, peanut.

They didn't get enough rain for
their crops to grow. That means
they don't have much money now.

- Will they be okay ?
- They'll be fine, honey.

But I'm afraid you kids aren't
gonna sell any babbleberry
treats here after all.

First there were
too many berries.
Now there's too little money.

What's a poodle to do ?
How are we supposed
to get richer...

If nobody can give us
their money ?
It's not fair !

Guess it's time to pack up
and head home, huh, jelly ?
Jelly ?

It's not time to quit, peanut.
It's time for a noodle dance.

- Poodle dance ?
- No, a noodle dance.

It's how we do
our best thinking.

We need to figure out
what to do with
all these turnovers.

Hey, you two.
Wanna try a noodle dance ?

Noodle dance ?
What's that ?

It's where
you use your noodle
to figure out problems.

Come on.
We'll show you.

I've got it !

What ? What have you got ?

we get a super frost-o-matic
food freezer machine and freeze
all our babbleberry treats.

then we wait until
all the babbleberries
in lake hoohaw run out,

and we sell our treats then.
[ peanut ]
great idea, jelly.

do you have a frost-o-matic
food freezer machine ?
no.

we know where to get one,
but there's a problem.

It would cost more money
than we would make.

That would be
bad business.

I know.

we get marco marvelous,
the world famous magician,

to make our treats
so irresistible that folks
buy them no matter what.

[ ootsie ]
well, why we're at it,

why don't we get him to
make a bag of money
appear too ?

[ Laughing ]
good one, ootsie.

Oh, man.
[ anna ]
excuse me.

Maybe since all of us
in parson's bend don't
have much money right now,

We can trade you something
for them.

That's a great idea, anna.

Except with the drought
and all, we don't have anything
to trade either.

Hey, I know !
Why don't we give
our babbleberries away ?

But, jelly, if you give them
away, you won't get any money
for your odella kite.

I know, peanut. But we have
so many babbleberries,
more than we could ever eat.

And the folks around here
don't have any.

I think jelly's right.
They need the babbleberries
more than we need the money.

What do you say, y'all ?
Let's give 'em away.
[ Gasping ]

Ootsie ?
Bootsie ?

Free babbleberry turnovers
here. Free !

Free !
Free, free, free !
