(knocks)


When can we see you Zigby?


ZigbySoon Mcmeer.


How long now?


Zigby doesn't want to show us


what he's wearing until he's completely ready.


Da, da, da, da!


I am a superhero, Captain Stripy.


And I'm here to save the day.


Captain Stripy?


What have you done with my best friend Zigby?


Uh that is Zigby Mcmeer.


No it isn't, Zigby doesn't wear a mask or a cape,


or his underpants on the outside.


Please show him Zigby


Zigby whoa, I mean who, but?


You mean it was you all along?


Gee this costume is brilliant.


I'm going to save the day all over the island.


Do you two want to be my faithful sidekicks?


(cheers)


A sidekick, that sounds like fun.


(dramatic chord)


What's a sidekick?


A sidekick helps the superhero.


Uh this isn't going to trot us into trouble is it Zigby?


We're not going to trot into trouble this time Bertie.


Superheros help others trot out of trouble


now I'm off to save the day!


(upbeat music)


Hey aren't we going with Captain Stripy?


We can be more helpful sidekicks right here.


I've got an idea.


(upbeat music)


(crying out)


No Lawrence I just can't reach it.


(thuds) (cries out)


Stand back.


(gasps) Who are you?


Fear not for I am Captain Stripy, superhero.


Here to save the day.


I will get your wizzy down.


(grunts)


(gentle music)


KidsYou did it!


Hurray.


KidsThank you Captain Stripy.


All in a days work.


Who was that masked hero who saves the day?


(upbeat music)


I don't see how these sauce pans


will help Captain Stripy save the day sidekick Bertie.


Oh you will sidekick Mcmeer, you will.


(crying out)


(clatters)


(vocalizing) (coughing)


Stand back.


I am Captain Stripy, here to save the day.


This water will help you sing better.


(gulping)


Oh, thank you.


(vocalizes)


He cured my cough.


♪ Thank you oh masked hero


♪ La la what a superhero you are you are ♪


(upbeat music)


(grunting)


(cries out)


Whoopsy.


I don't see how this rope will help Captain Stripy


save the day sidekick Bertie.


Oh you will sidekick Mcmeer, you will.


♪ Mi mi mi la la la


Celine you'll never guess what just happened to me.


A masked superhero called Captain Stripy helped you?


You guessed, and yeah my bow was


about to fall in the river but he saved the day.


I wonder who was that masked superhero who saved the day?


(sighs)


Whoa what a day.


Being a superhero is fun but I'm worn out.


Huh, what have my faithful sidekicks been up to?


(clanging)


What, who where?


McmeerTa da! >> BertieTa da!


We helping sidekicks built you a Captain Stripy alarm.



Yeah, it'll let you know


when someone need Captain Stripy's help.


See this rope?


It goes out the window, through the trees,


and right across the clearing.


The end has a picture of Captain Stripy


next to it so if anyone needs help all


they have to do is pull on the rope


and you can save the day.


(clangs)


Oh it'll make this noise every time


someone needs you so you'll never


sleep through any chances to save the day.


Isn't it great?


Oh that is great.


(gentle music)


(clattering)


(cries out)


What's going on?


Oh quick Zigby someone needs help.


And we're helping you cause we're sidekicks.


Right.


(upbeat music)


I am here to save the day.


Oh Captain Stripy, thank goodness.


I have the itchiest back.


Itchy back?


But couldn't you, I mean it is the middle of the night.


Oh yes, it always feels most itchy


in the middle of the night.


Please?


Okay.


(giggling)


(clattering)


Hello, sidekicks I need my costume.


BertieUh it's a bit dark in here,


we can't find our way out.


McmeerMy head is stuck iN some pants.


(cries out)


BothTa da.


I am Captain Stripy here to.


It's a banana peel.


Exactly someone could have slipped on it, like me.


Or someone else.


Well couldn't you have picked it up instead of waking me?


But you're a superhero, isn't that your job?


(sighs)


Yes, I guess it is.


I don't wanna be a superhero anymore.


It's not that bad, is it?


Crazy coconuts, it's worse.


I can't get any sleep,


everyone wants me to do every little thing.


No one seems to want to help themselves.


We sidekicks could help you more.


We could become superheros to.


Thanks but it'd only make things worse.


More superheros saving that day


nobody would do anything for themselves.


Yeah, unless everyone was a superhero.


Cool bananas Mcmeer, that's the answer.


Superheros would do things for themselves and for others.


(upbeat music)


(clears throat)


Welcome to the super hero tryouts.


We're here to see if there is anyone else on this island


who can be a super hero and help me save the day.


(chatters)


There will only be one test


you have to get this wizzy out of the tree.


(chatters)


Sidekick Mcmeer, who's first?


First is The Voice who will try to sing the wizzy down.


♪ Mi mi mi la la la


♪ Do re mi fa so la ti do


The Pink Flamingo will dance the wizzy down.


Finally Zebra Girl and Cub Boy.


What's wrong Zebra Girl?


Is it cheating to use something


we learned from someone else?


Course not almost everything


we know how to do we learned from someone else.


A good idea, is a good idea.


(whispering)


(cheers)


That's the end of the list.


Now it's up to Captain Stripy


to decide who else gets save the day.


Everyone was so clever it seems


like there's nothing any of you can't do if you try.


I declare that everyone is a superhero.


AllHuh?


(cheering)


(bouncy music)


Ooh ooh ah, a bit to the side.


(laughs) Yeah.


Hey Vickie, Elle, our water hole


is so quiet and still today.


Don't you love it?


Sure do, Celine.



I can see my reflection in the water.


It's so perfect for preening my feathers.


(laughing)


Oh, look.


Here, comes Zigby, Bertie, and Mcmeer.


Oh, this will be fun.


(whistle blows)


Okay, team, ready to play coconut catch?


Oh hang on, ready.


Last one in's a rotten coconut.


Uh oh, they're heading right this way.


Ready, steady, go.


Mine.


Whoops.


Huh, nearly dropped it.


Whoa, great catch, Bertie.


Careful with that.


Yeah, we don't want to get splashed.


Stand back, here comes a big one.


Whoops.


(crying out)


(splashing)


That's it.


We were enjoying relaxing here.


And your game is spoiling everyone else's fun.


Sorry, we didn't mean to.


Zigby, if you want to swim here that's fine


but if you want to play that game


could you play it somewhere else?


AllYeah, right.


But where are we going to play coconut catch now?


Well, the sea has too many waves.


The creek is too small and the lagoon is too shallow.


Which only leaves.


Nowhere.


Nowhere?


Is that far from here?


Hold on, we could play coconut catch right here.


Diving in might be hard on the head.


Ah, Zigby, there's no water here.


Good point Bertie


but there could be if we built a swimming pool.


A swimming pool.


Yeah.


If we could dig a pool we could play


coconut catch without upsetting anyone.


(bouncy music)


(dirt scraping) (grunting)


Okay, it's finished.


It's perfect.


Except for one thing.


It's empty.


Oh no, we forgot the water Zigby.


No we didn't.


Just grab those buckets and follow me.


(bouncy music)


Where's Mcmeer?


Here but where's the creek?


(cries out)


Oh, there it is.


(bouncy music)


(Water splashing)


There.


The last bucket.


Is that the deep end?


Don't worry.


It'll take a few trips to fill it up, that's all.


Six hundred and seventy nine trips to be precise.


That's a lot of trips.


Maybe we should settle for a wading pool.


I know, instead of us going to get the water


let's make the water come to us.


Uh, Zigby I'm not sure what you mean


but my tail feathers are tingling


which usually means you're trotting us into trouble.


No I'm not.


We just build a line of bamboo pipes


to take water from the creek to the pool.


Like, this.


I think it's a great idea.


Then, let's get started.


You coming, Bertie?


(sighs) Coming.


(bouncy music)


Phew, that's the last piece.


Can I turn it on?


Can I, can I?


Okay, Mcmeer.


Three, two, one, go.


(vocalizes)


(water splashing)


It's amazing.


Magnificent.


And nice.


Let's play coconut catch.


Last one in's a, huh?


(cries out)


Clem, Don't do that.


This is no a time for games.


While you've been having fun,



something's happened to the water hole.


What's happened?


You'd better go and see for yourselves.


(dramatic music)


Oh dear.


Where am I going to swim now?


Don't worry, Celine, we'll work out


what's happened, I promise.


Ah, Zigby, I think we might be what's happened.


Crazy coconuts.


Our pipes must've taken all the water.


Pipes?


What pipes?


It's okay Celine.


While we work out how to fix this


would you like to swim in our new pool?


It's even better than the water hole.


You've got a pool?


I'm there.


(giggles)


(bouncy music)


(splashes)


Zigby, this is wonderful.


I never want to leave, ever.


Well that's that problem solved.


I wouldn't be too sure.


(crying)


What's wrong, Vickie?


The water hole is a mud hole


and I can't stand having mud on my feathers.


Our pool is nice and clean.


Would you like to?


(water splashes)


Thanks, Zigby, I love pools.


Zigby, can Lawrence and I have a paddle?


Of course, Zara.


(laughing)


(splashing)


MonkeysWhee ya.


(laughing) (water splashes)


Hey, great pool, Zigby.


Yeah, thanks for inviting us.


Eh, no problem.


Zigby, any room for one more?


(gulps)


Sure, Elle.


We must have everyone on the island


in the pool by now.


Except for Clem.


I've been here all afternoon.


Okay, let's play coconut catch.


Sorry Mcmeer, there isn't enough room.


You mean we can't play?


Uh uh.


You know having a pool isn't as much fun


as I thought it'd be.


Yeah, we still can't play coconut catch.


And no one can play at the water hole either.


Oh what are we going to do, Zigby?


There must be a way for all of us to play


what we want in the water.


We just have to think of it, that's all.


(bouncy music)


See you tomorrow, Zigby.


We love the pool.


Yeah, it's great but.


But?


But it's just not as big as the water hole.


Bye.


Ha.


Nothing's as big as the water hole except the water hole.


Yes, the water hole was big enough for everybody to fit.


Cool bananas.


You're right, the water hole is big,


I just have to change it


so everybody can play what they want.


(bouncy music) (hammering)


(sawing)


(upbeat music)


(hammering)


(gentle music)


(bird chirping)


AllHuh?


Zigby, what happened to the pool?


Where are we going to swim now?


I know a bigger and better pool,


with lots more room for everyone.


A bigger pool?


Where?


Just follow the signs, you can't miss it.


(bouncy music) (chattering)


(bird chirps)


Where are we going, Zibgy?


Come on Zigby, tell us


(chuckles) It's a surprise.


(bouncy music)


(chattering)


It's our water hole and the water's back.


But it looks different.


Look, there's a water slide.



I love water slides.


And there's a diving board.


I Love diving boards.


And there's vines for swinging on.


We love vines.


Look Lawrence, a wading pool.


And a special coconut catch area.


So we can have a big coconut catch contest,


and everyone can join in.


Zigby, you turned it into the biggest


and the best swimming pool ever.


Hooray for Zigby.


(cheering)


Elle, Vickie, and I just made our own coconut catch team.


And we're going to play you, three against three.


Then, let's play.


Come on, last one in's a rotten coconut.


AllLet's go.


(laughter)
