ChorusZigby!
ZigbyI spy with my little eye,
something that is wet!
Rain!
How did you guest?
Because it's been rain the last five times!
Achoo!
Can we stop playing now?
I think I'm catching a chill
just talking about the rain (sniffs).
No, hang on!
I spy with my little eye,
something that is wet.
Sigh, rain?
No!
(Zigby runs)
McMeer!
What's wrong?
It's my house!
It's completely flooded with water from all the rain!
I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight.
You could stay with me
at least until it stops raining.
Thanks, Zigby!
But what if it never stops?
I'll never have a home of my own again!
Of course, you will!
'Cause I'm going to build you a brand new home!
(Bertie coughs) One'll never ever get wet!
Wouldn't it be better to just fix his home
so it doesn't flood again?
You'll build a new home for me?
Hey, sure as I'm stripy!
I've got another one of my world famous brilliant ideas!
I get nervous when you have
your world famous brilliant ideas, Zigby!
Are you sure you're not trotting us
into trouble again?
Relax, Bertie!
What could possibly go wrong?
(Zigby hammering)
Zigby isn't trotting into trouble.
He's hammering and sawing into trouble!
Well, I'm glad he's doing it.
I need a home that's not full of water.
Come on in!
It's finished!
Sigh. After you.
(Bertie and McMeer both walk in)
It's fantastic!
So warm and comfy.
We were lucky to find such a nice big hollow log.
Oh! It is nice!
And because it's on the top of a hill,
all the rain will run down to the bottom.
So your house will never fill up with water.
(McMeer walks then sits down)
I love the table!
This will be the perfect place to have breakfast,
and lunch, and dinner!
And morning tea, and afternoon tea,
and supper, and mid morning pre lunch snack! (laughs)
I carved it from the inside of the log,
like your new bed!
(McMeer excitedly runs to the bed)
Ooh!
Oh! This is where I'm going to keep my shoelace collection.
It's amazing how much room there is!
You could play leap frog in here.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
You first, Zigby!
(Zigby laughs)
Wee! (laughs)
(log house moving)
Oh! What was that?
It was nothing!
Come on, McMeer!
Woohoo!
Oh! >> Whoa!
I think it's time to leap frog out of here!
(Bertie and McMeer scream)
(log house rolls down the hill)
Maybe I should've made a house
that can't roll away.
That way would be handy if I wanted to go on vacation
and take my house with me.
No need for that!
I have a lot more great ideas.
Hmm, but I'm not even sure what kind of house I want.
I know! Why don't you visit
some of our friends at their homes
and see if you could find something you like?
Great idea, Zigby!
See you later!
While McMeer's looking,
let's start on one of my ideas and surprise him.
(bird whistles)
Of course, I'll show you my beautiful home.
You'll want one just like it.
It's so spacious and grand, and fabulous!
Sounds great! (clapping excitedly)
Where is it?
Right here!
Come on in! (water splashes while walking)
Thanks, Vicky! (steps splashing into water)
You're right!
It is pretty spacious (screams)
(water splashes)
but it's even wetter than my house.
I think I need to find something else.
(bird whistling)
I'm sure tipis have a hole at the top
to let the smoke from the campfire out.
That would just let the rain in
and that's the last thing McMeer would want.
(both walks soundly)
If it's completely closed up,
it'll stay dry and warm.
(air swooshing)
Huh!
Uh, maybe I shouldn't have made a house
that can fly away.
Now that's something you don't see everyday.
You're doing great, McMeer!
And now, all you have to do
is learn how to scratch your back.
And run around and around the tree!
I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Whoa! (screams)
Actually, hanging from a tree probably isn't for me.
Yeah, Wink, that was a silly idea
to put him in a hammock.
Hey, it wasn't my idea!
It was Stink's.
No, it wasn't.
I said he should hang upside down by his tail.
(McMeer sighs heavily) >> WinkThat's silly!
Crazy coconut!
This is what I call trouble.
And here's McMeer back!
What're you doing?
Is that lunch?
Don't even ask.
Did you get any ideas?
I haven't found anywhere that I like.
I wish I had a house just like yours, Zigby.
It's fantastic!
Hmm. Of course! That's it!
I'll build you one just like mine.
A tree house of your very own.
Oh, just wait Zigby!
This time we have to get it right.
I've drawn up very careful plans
to make sure nothing goes wrong this time.
It's got special features to make sure
it won't roll away or take of.
Then what are we waiting for?
Let's get to work!
(McMeer hums while working)
BertieHuh?
(paint splats)
Huh?
(Bertie winks)
(McMeer laughs)
(playful saxophone music)
(chain rattling)
(chain rattling)
Ugh!
(Zigby hammering)
That's the last wall in place.
How does it look, McMeer?
McMeerLet me outta here!
Huh?
(McMeer sawing rapidly)
(playful saxophone music)
It's fantastic, Zigby!
Thanks, guys.
Let's go inside.
Wow! It's warm and dry,
and roomy!
And I love all the new furniture you built for it.
(knock on door)
Hi!
McMeerCeline! >> I thought I'd bring you
a house warming present.
This is perfect for my window box!
I brought some friends, if that's okay?
There's plenty of room for everybody!
Come on in!
Look at this, it's fabulous!
Great house!
Nice, McMeer!
Look at this!
It's lovely!
(Stink chatters)
Wow!
Nice!
You're it. >> Hey! (both laughs)
Got you! (laughs excitedly)
(monkeys laughs playfully)
Quiet, everyone!
Maybe we should all go home.
McMeer's had a long day
and he might need some quiet time.
But McMeer isn't here.
McMeer?
(audience gasps in surprise)
McMeer!
McMeer!
Where are you?
(distant whistling)
That's coming from his house.
McMeer, why did you leave?
I just wanted some peace and quiet
and I discovered that all the water has gone now.
So you're back where you started?
Look, I tried all kinds of other homes
and I realized that my burrow is the best place for me.
Thanks anyway, Zigby!
Really?
Yeah! It's warm and cozy.
It doesn't flip over without warning
and it's right here whenever I need it.
The perfect place for a meerkat.
But what about your great, new anti-roll,
unblowdownable tree house?
It can stay there for everyone
to play in whenever the want to.
StinkYou can't catch me!
(monkeys chattering playfully)
(laughs happily)
But how will you keep your home dry?
Hmm.
Cool bananas!
Those planks give me an idea.
(hammer pounding)
(hammer pounding)
That'll keep the rain out for sure.
(sky rumbling)
(Zigby and McMeer laughing playfully)
(McMeer clapping happily) >> You're right, Zigby!
It's perfectly dry.
Fantastic! The answer was right there all along.
My old home, only better.
(flute music)
Ooh!
Kick it to me Zigby!
(slide whistle descending)
I got it!
I got it!
(yells)
Ouch!
Pineapples?
Lots and lots of pineapples!
Lots and lots of perfect pineapples!
All ripe and ready to eat!
Then let's eat!
I've got a better idea.
What could be a better idea than eating pineapples?
Playing soccer?
No.
Having a pineapple party!
(screams)
We could have pineapple punch, pineapple pie,
pineapple patties.
Pineapple pie?
Pineapple everything!
Are you sure you're not trotting us
into pineapple trouble, Zigby?
Oh, there'll be no trouble this time, Bertie.
It'll all be worth it to see
the surprise on everyone's faces.
But it's nearly nighttime,
maybe we should wait til morning.
They might not be here in the morning.
What if someone else finds them and (gasps) eats them all?
Hmm.
That case, we're gonna have to move them
to a pineapple hiding place.
(piano music)
(grunting)
Look, a cave!
Let's hide the pineapples in there!
(grunting)
Wow.
This looks like a pirate cave.
Pirate cave?
What's a pirate cave?
It's where pirates hide their treasure.
They're always right by the sea, just like this one.
How exciting!
Pineapples should be safe there overnight.
Tomorrow, we'll come back and prepare the best
surprise pineapple party ever!
This'll be good.
McMeerI love pineapples.
I can't wait!
(monkeys chirping)
Hey!
Give it back!
That's my banana!
TinkCatch it!
(monkeys chirping)
Hey, where's the banana?
Who needs a banana, when we've got all these pineapples?
BothWhoa!
Hey!
We can't just eat them.
Why not, Wink?
Because they might belong to somebody, Stink.
Oh yeah?
Who?
Maybe it's pirates!
BothPirates?
Yeah!
This looks like a pirate cave.
What's a pirate cave?
It's where pirates hide their treasure.
They're always right by the sea.
Just like this one.
Why would pirates hide all these pineapples in here?
(gasps) Maybe they're off getting their pirate ship,
so they can take all these pineapples away.
No, they can't take our pineapples from our island.
Quick!
We've gotta hide them before the pirates come back!
TinkThere!
All the pineapples are buried in the sand.
And I'll mark the spot with an X,
so we can find it again.
Last one home's a rotten pineapple.
(monkey chirping)
(cheery flute music)
Mm, I can taste that pineapple pie already!
AllOh, no!
Where did all the pineapples go?
(gasps) Look, footprints!
They must be pirate footprints!
Crazy coconuts!
How are we gonna get our pineapples back from the pirates?
AllHmm.
I know!
We'll disguise ourselves as pirates,
so they think we're part of their crew!
And we'll take back our pineapples
when they're not looking!
Arr.
The footprints go this way.
McMeerAye, Aye Captain Zigby!
That big mountain wasn't there yesterday.
And it's got an X on it!
That's how pirates mark their buried treasure!
(grunting)
Ah ha!
The pineapples!
But what do we do with them now?
Put them somewhere safe,
so the pirates can never get them again!
(fast-paced music)
Hurry up!
We got a lotta pineapples to eat
and the morning's nearly,
Ah!
Huh?
Hey!
That's where our pineapples were buried!
How did you eat 'em all so fast?
I didn't!
Somebody took 'em!
Ooh!
Look!
Footprints!
They must be pirate footprints!
The pirates took the pineapples back!
Oh no!
How do we get our pineapples back off pirates?
We need a plan.
Stink!
Tink!
Think!
AllHmm.
(gasp) I know!
We'll disguise ourselves as pirates,
so they think we're part of their crew!
Yeah!
And we'll take back our pineapples when they're not looking!"], index ,…}
(upbeat music)
There!
That'll keep the pirates out, and the pineapples in.
How's that secret door coming, Bertie?
Perfect, Zigby!
No one will ever find it.
Including me!
Here you go, Bertie.
And no pirates can ever get near us
without me spotting them!
(playful music)
The pirates came this way.
Look!
A pirate fortress!
With real pirates!
How do we get our pineapples out of there?
There might be a way in!
Let's have a closer look!
Aye, Aye, Captain Wink!
Shh!
AllShh!
(gasps) Ah ha!
I can see something!
Pirates?
No.
Bananas!
Yum!
Come on!
TinkWhat can you see?
Nothing!
Come on!
(playful music)
Those sneaky pirates!
There's no door!
Unless it's a secret door!
But how do we find it?
We wait here til someone comes out.
They've gotta come out sooner or later.
(laughs) Yeah!
And then, we sneak in and get the pineapples!
(monkeys chirping)
Ooh, my tummy's so hungry, Zigby!
Can I just have one pineapple?
Sorry, McMeer
but we need them all for the surprise pineapple party.
And we can't have the party til the pirates have gone.
Oh, I can't wait that long!
But I know where to get some bananas now.
(laughs)
(door creaks)
Look!
A pirate's leaving!
And now we know where the hidden door is hidden!
Let's go!
(monkeys chirping)
Easy does it.
Careful,
careful.
And,
there!
Give us back our pineapples!
TinkYou pirates!
ZigbyWhoa!
Oh!
Help!
We're being att*cked by pirates!
So are we!
Ow.
Huh?
Wink?
Tink?
Stink?
AllZigby?
Bertie?
Where are all the pirates?
Quick!
Shut the door before they get in!
Yeah.
WinkThey're going to be cross with us
for taking the pineapples from their cave.
But the pirates took the pineapples from the cave!
And buried them in the sand!
No, we buried the pineapples in the sand.
Well, we put them in the cave.
AllYou were the pirates?
(all laughing)
It was fun playing pirates.
(laughs) Yeah.
It was.
Hey.
I got another great idea!
McMeerZigby, can you let me in?
I can't find the secret door,
and there might be pirates out here.
(all laughing)
ZigbyArr!
Ahoy there, mateys!
CrowdPirates!
Aye, Aye!
We be pirates with a big surprise for ye.
A surprise pirate pineapple party!
(upbeat music)
(crowd shouting)
Yo, ho, ho
Me hearties!
There'll be pineapples for every pirate.
(crowd cheering)
ZaraI love pineapples!
(upbeat music)
