(upbeat orchestral music)


(laughs) Hooray.


I love the snow, it's so cold and white.


Hey Zigby, what do you think?


Nice snowman, McMeer.


Do you think it looks like me?


Um, a little bit.


Thanks, Zigby.


Was that an avalanche?


No, Bertie, it was my tummy rumbling.


Sorry, I always get hungry when it's cold, or hot.


Or anything, really.


Must be lunch time.


Let's go home.


(Bertie and McMeer laugh)


Everybody hold tight.


Away. (laughs)


(everyone shouts)


Hey, now your snowman really does look like you.


Even better.


(everyone laughs)


Bread, cheese, jam, pickled onions, custard.


Voila, the perfect sandwich.


Hey, Bertie.


Do you want a bite of my sandwich?


No thanks, I'm happy with a milkshake.


Hey, where did the milk go?


Into my coconut cake mix.


Do you want to lick the spoon?


Mm, not bad.


It'll be even better when it's cooked.


McMeer, this is best coconut cake I've ever tasted.


It's my own special recipe, with a secret ingredient.


Coconut?


(gasps) Lucky guess.


Looks like somebody else might like a piece.


Could we have some, too, please?


Maybe Zara, but I might not have


quite enough to go around.


I know, wait here everyone, and I'll go make another cake.


How long is that going to take?


About an hour.


One whole hour?


Well, I might just take this last piece.


Hey, where did it go?


Sorry. (laughs)


(everyone cries out)


Everyone, I've got an idea.


You all want coconut cake, right?


AllRight.


Well, the quickest way to make something is,


with a lot of help, right?


AllRight.


So, I'm going to build a cake factory.


We can all help make more of McMeer's yummy cake.


AllRight.


I think Zigby maybe trotting into trouble.


All kinds of things can go wrong in factories.


No problem, Bertie.


My factory will perfectly, perfect.


Okay, mixing bowl here, cake tins here.


Cake tasting here.


There, Zigby's famous cake factory.


Welcome to the cake factory.


It's time to have some fun.


Wink, Tink, and Stink,


your job is climb up there and pour in the ingredients.


The what?


All the things we mix together to make the cake.


Yay, last one up is a rotten coconut.


Uh, what's my job, Zigby?


You can be our quality controller.


But, I don't know how to do that.


Well, it means you eat some of the cakes


once they're made, to make sure


they're not too burnt, or too sweet, or too sour.


So, I just eat?


Yes, I think I can do that.


What about Vicki and me?


What can we do?


We even wore special hats,


to keep feathers and hairs out of the cakes.


Does it suit me?


It looks fabulous.


Your job is to collect the cakes when they're done,


and pile them over there.



Collect the cakes.


Okay. (laughs)


Zara and Lawrence, this handle makes the mixer work.


Your job is to help me turn it.


And, Bertie, you're extra careful,


so your job is to keep everyone safe.


Make sure there are no accidents.


Got it, no accidents.


Hey. >> Sorry.


Are you ready?


AllYes.


Let's make cakes.


(everyone cheers)


(playful, upbeat orchestral music)


Enough coconut cake for everyone.


Yay. >> Double yay.


(upbeat orchestral music)


Thanks for inviting us to breakfast, Zigby.


It's my favorite meal of the day.


Except for lunch, and dinner, of course.


Do you have porridge? >> No.


Good, I don't like porridge.


Tada.


BothCoconut cake?


For breakfast?


Sure, it's everyone's favorite food,


and for dessert.


What's that?


Breakfast cereal.


It looks like pieces of coconut cake in a bowl of milk.


It is.


You're brilliant, Zigby.


No one else would have thought of that.


That's for sure.


And, finally, we have toast.


Is that toasted coconut cake?


Zigby you're an absolute genius.


That's funny, it tasted better yesterday.


You're right.


Um, are you sure you don't have porridge?


Let's skip breakfast.


Zara and Lawrence have invited us to a picnic by the lagoon.


We'll eat there.


(playful orchestral music)


Wow, you brought so much food for the picnic.


I like food, it's all I eat.


So, what is there?


Well, there's coconut cake.


Right.


We have cheese pizza, too.


Only, we didn't use cheese.


We used coconut cake. (laughs)


And, a nice, fresh green salad.


You used coconut cake in the salad?


Don't you like coconut cake?


Yes, but.


Sorry, we're not really hungry.


I never want to see another coconut cake


as long as I live.


Hi, Zigby.


How do you like our new hats?


Um, aren't those coconut cakes?


(laughs) Yes.


You're wearing coconut cakes as hats?


It's because we can't bear to eat them anymore.


Does it match my feathers?


(sighs) Coconut cake used to be everyone's favorite food.


Well, we're just tired of it.


That always happens if you eat too much of the same thing.


Even if it is your favorite.


But, there's still a huge pile of cakes.


Crazy coconuts, what are we gonna do with them all?


I know, let's put them in the refrigerator for later.


Hey, that's a good idea.


(gasps) Do you think so?


There.


Nope, we're never going to be able to fit


all those cakes in the refrigerator.


I know, I know.


Let's get more refrigerators.


Uh, now that one isn't such a good idea.


How come you don't sound surprised anymore?


I've got it.


Cool bananas.


We need some place


that's as cold as a refrigerator but much bigger.


This eave in the snow is just like a giant refrigerator.


So, we leave all the cakes here,


and they'll last for a long, long time.


And, if anyone ever feels like eating coconut cake again.


All they have to do is come up here,


take one of the frozen cakes and warm it up in the sunshine.


I see one problem.


What's that, McMeer?


We haven't had breakfast yet.


This mango pudding you made is excellent.


Hey, if we want lots of mango pudding,


maybe we should build a mango pudding factory.


What do you say, McMeer?


McMeer? Bertie?



Huh, what's up with them?


(upbeat music playing)


Egg beater.


Soccer ball.


(grunting noise) A hippity hop ball.


I get it.


You're planning to make a soccer ball pie


while bouncing up and down.


(laughs quietly) No, these are things I haven't used


in a long time.


I'm going to put them in the Jungle Sale.


You two could do the same.


Not me, I use everything I have all the time.


But I am excited about seeing what else there is.


Yes, it is exciting.


The Jungle Sale might have some really


useful stuff for my nest.


(ball boings) Whoops!


Ow!


(hops loudly) Ouch! Ow, ow, ow!


Are you okay, Bertie?


Uh, it's a bit crowded in here.


I might take these outside now.


All right, Birdie.


Do you really use all your things all the time?


Yeah.


Of course, all I have is a fork, an eggcup,


and one shoelace.


(chuckles softly)


(cheerful music playing)


Ah, watch out Bertie!


Ow, ow, ow!


I think I might go down to the ground.


Sorry Bertie


Wow, look how much we already have.


Let's get the rest.


Oh, the ground.


The nice solid, safe ground.


It's gotta be safer down here.


(mischievous music playing)


Oh no, not again! (items crashing)


Watch out, Bertie!


(Birdie panting)


What's that noise?


It must be the sound Bertie makes when he's flying.


Look!


Actually, it was just all the stuff falling of the-


(gasps loudly)


I'm flying!


Flying!


Oh no, I never fly!


Oh, I'll stop flapping right away.


But if I do, I'll fall to the ground.


Oh dear, I should flap harder!


(heavy breathing)


That's it, Bertie!


You're doing great! Fly higher!


Reach for the stars! Up, up, up!


(Birdie crashing)


Ooo! >> Ooo!


I bet that hurt.


(Birdie landing) >> Ow.


That branch hurt.


Oh, Bertie.


You're having a bit of a clumsy morning.


Are you okay?


Oh, my poor head.


I knew there was a reason I stayed on the ground.


You know, I can make sure your head will be safe


whenever you go flying again.


(bells chiming)


This is my best idea ever!


Uh, since my last best idea.


Stay right there!


I'm not flying ever again!


(saw cutting)


(drill buzzing)


Hear that McMeer?


(hammer pounding)


That's what trotting into trouble sounds like.


Tada!


It's the Super Zigby Flying Safety Helmet.


Here, put it on.


My mistake.


You're not trotting into trouble.


You're trying to put trouble on my head.


Trouble? Nah.


Try it on!


If you don't like it, you could just take it off.


Okay.


But I'm telling you...


It's really comfortable.


Not that I'm going flying but,


you could never be too careful.


Even if you stay firmly on the ground.


(upbeat music playing)


I can't wait to get to the Jungle Sale.


I might be able to find another shoelace!


It's a bit hard to see out of,


but this helmet is so light and comfy!



And I feel a lot safer walking around now.


Oh, thanks Zigby!


Just look out for that hole!


What hole? Woah! (thuds loudly)


(Zigby) Are you okay, Bertie?


I'm okay!


(relaxing music playing)


This Jungle Sale is full of really useful stuff!


A drumstick, a mirror, and a swimming cap


with only two holes!


All I need is that shoelace and I'll be set.


(monkeys screaming)


Ah, this is perfect for scratching backs!


Hey Wink! Scratch my back!


You'll have to get it off me first!


[Two Remaining Monkeys] Stink's it!


(monkeys cooing)


Hey, an old soccer ball.


Gee, thanks McMeer!


You're welcome, Zara.


This is exactly what Lawrence wanted.


Let's play, Lawrence!


(giggles)


(loud grunting)


Look what I found!


This'll be perfect for my flowers!


Whoa!


(vase breaking)


Sorry, Zigby.


But I just can't see well enough in this helmet.


Can you please help me get it off?


Okay, if that's what you want.


Give me a hand, McMeer?


Sure.


(grunting loudly)


Sorry, Bertie.


It seems to be stuck.


Then how am I going to see where I'm going?


(positive music)


Hmm.


(bells chiming)


No problem!


Leave it to me!


A mirror, some chopsticks.


(screw squeaking)


There you go!


How's that?


I can see the ground!


It's perfect, I can see clearly!


(bell chimes)


Oh, especially the sun.


Oh no, I can't see anything.


Where's everybody gone?


Look out, Bertie!


The water!


(groans loudly)


(sighs loudly)


That was close.


Oh no!


(table crashing)


Ow, ow, ow!


Oh dear!


Look on the bright side.


You finally got the helmet off.


(upbeat music playing)


Now, this ice pack will be cold.


But it will make your bruises go down.


Oh, that is cold!


(screams loudly)


Whoa, Bertie.


Your clumsy morning is turning into a clumsy day.


I know.


I've got bruises on my bruises!


Even walking around the island


is getting dangerous these days.


Why don't we cover you all over with armor


to keep you safe from everything?


I don't know.


That sounds a bit stuffy.


You're right!


Let's safety proof the whole island instead!


That way, Bertie can go wherever he wants!


Whole island?


It's way too big.


You're right.


I'm going to my nest, okay?


Out of the way of rocks, and holes,


and tables, and things.


Oh, you're not getting me again.


(hopping noise)


It'll be best if I just stay on my nest.


Forever.


UnisonForever?


Crazy coconuts.


This is trouble.


Bertie can't stay on his nest forever.


He'll never have any more fun.


Or see his friends.


Hmm, you're right, McMeer.


We have to do something.



Yeah.


Everyone on the island will miss Bertie so much.


Hmm, cool bananas! That's it!


If Bertie won't come out into the island,


then we'll bring the island and everyone to him!


(upbeat music playing)


Ah, my nest.


Nothing ever goes wrong here.


So safe, so peaceful.


The perfect place for taking a nap.


(yawns loudly)


(loud snoring)


(loud laughing)


Huh?


Where am I?


(laughter) What's all this?


This, Bertie, is all your favorite places.


The water hole.


The beach.


The coconut grove.


And of course, the Jungle Sale.


Wow!


The whole island's been brought here!


You did all this for me?


That's amazing!


What are friends for, Bertie?


Now nothing can go wrong.


(rapid music playing)


Give me that back scratcher!


It's my back to scratch! >> You can't catch me!


(loud shocking gasps)


(group screams)


My soccer ball.


Can someone help me get my soccer ball?


It's all right, we'll get it.


We'll climb up and get it down.


Hmm, I don't know.


It's pretty high.


Maybe I can help.


(grunts loudly)


It's really stuck.


We need another way.


Let's send up a balloon.


We can dig up the tree.


Maybe I can do something to help!


We could eat the tree from the ground up.


What about trained climbing up?


That's silly.


Hey, Bertie might have an idea!


GroupHuh?


Where's Bertie?


Look!


(loud heavy breathing)


He's flying!


He's heading for the ball!


That's it, Bertie!


Go for it!


GroupHooray!


Thanks, Bertie.


That was really brave.


Like you said, what are friends for?


That's why I can't stay in my nest forever.


I'd miss out on all the fun stuff we'd do together.


Exactly!


Although next time, I might try and do it


without flying.


(laughs loudly)
