Hi Zara!
Hi Laurence.
There!
Do you like our sandcastle, Zigby?
Oh, it's brilliant!
I like the ring of stones.
It makes everything look so tidy and safe.
I like the flag.
(sniffing)
Smells like a mango leaf.
(stomach growling)
(laughing)
I think McMeer's stomach is trying to tell us something.
Yep, and that something is,
it's dinner time!
Yeah!
Laurence and I are hungry
after building this sand castle.
(happy music)
Goodbye castle!
See you tomorrow.
(relaxing music)
(playful music)
There's nothing like mango to start a new day!
(crunching)
Or to finish an old day.
(panting)
BothZigby!
What is it?
Our sandcastle is, is, is, gone!
AllHuh?
See Zigby?
There's the ring of stones, but no castle.
You're right.
Your mango leaf flag's right up here.
Hm, how did it get up there?
Are you sure it's the same leaf, McMeer?
(sniffing)
It's a mango leaf all right.
My tummy is always right.
Our special sandcastle.
Oh.
Gone forever.
Oh.
Don't be sad,
we'll help you find it.
BothReally?
As sure as I'm stripey.
But Zigby, you could be trotting into trouble.
What if we can't find it.
Then Zara and Laurence will be really disappointed.
Don't worry Bertie,
it was a big sandcastle.
I'm sure we can find it.
Even if it takes all day.
(cheering)
(laughing)
(ants grunting)
Ant can carry a lot.
Hey, maybe they carried the sandcastle away.
Excuse me Mr. Ant.
A sandcastle disappeared in the night,
did you see it?
No, sorry.
No we didn't.
But--
(whistle)
Back in line please!
We need to get these leaves
into the anthill, asap!
Quickly and on the double.
Yes sir!
Right away sir.
They haven't seen it.
That sandcastle could be anywhere on the island.
Well, let's split up.
We can start looking here in the jungle.
And Zara and Laurence, you can look in the clearing.
Okay.
Come on Laurence.
(happy music)
Nothing here.
Don't see it here.
No sandcastles up there.
Oh, we searched the whole jungle.
I know!
It took so long, we missed lunch.
I was going to have a mango.
Hm, I hope Laurence and Zara found the sandcastle
or they'll be very disappointed.
What are you looking for?
A sandcastle from the beach, Stink.
Hey, do you know what happened to it?
Sure, fairies took it.
Fairies?
That's silly.
Fairies don't like sandcastles.
Unless.
Unless what?
Unless they're sandcastle fairies.
Sandcastle fairies?
I've never seen one of those.
That's 'cause they're invisible.
Then let's look for invisible fairies!
AllYeah!
(monkey chatter)
Are there really sandcastle fairies?
McMeer, you know how those monkeys like to play tricks.
McMeerUh huh.
Wait!
That's it Bertie,
maybe someone borrowed the castle to play with
and forgot to bring it back.
(happy music)
And so, if anyone borrowed this sandcastle to play with
and forgot to return it,
could you please bring it back to the beach?
It would make Zara and Laurence very happy.
(giggling)
Let's go.
Faster!
Hurry!
This is going to work for sure.
I hope so Zigby, this is our last chance.
You promised Zara and Laurence we'd find it
by the end of the day.
And it's nearly dinner time!
I'm thinking about having a mango.
What do you think?
Huh?
Wait for me!
(happy music)
Celine, you borrowed the sandcastle.
No!
I just wanted to see if anyone brought it back.
Elle, did you borrow it?
No!
I wanted to see who brought back the sandcastle too.
So our sandcastle is still missing?
We asked everyone,
we searched everywhere.
The castle is completely gone.
And it's the end of the day.
Sorry Zara and Laurence.
That's all right Zigby.
You tried your best.
Laurence and I will try to find something else to play with.
Won't we Laurence?
Thanks everyone.
Everyone?
That's it!
Everyone's here,
and if we all help, we can build another castle.
That's even bigger and better!
Bigger and better! (excited chatter)
McMeerYeah, bigger!
Psst, Zigby!
Zigby!
You should build your castle higher up the beach.
We always build our anthill up here.
Oh thanks!
But the wet sand is better for building.
But--
(whistle)
Back inside please.
We need your help to dig a new tunnel,
immediately and without delay.
Hut, hut, hut, hut!
(playful music)
Tada!
This castle is here to stay.
(cheering)
I hope Laurence is right.
As sure as I'm stripey,
we're going to make sure this castle doesn't go anywhere.
(relaxing music)
(happy music)
So far so good.
Castle is still here.
(happy music)
(slurping)
What was that?
(slurping) There it is again.
Someone or something has come to take the castle, Bertie.
Bertie?
Do you think it's safe?
Bertie?
(yelling)
Like a mango?
(crunching)
You mean that was you making that noise?
Yeah.
We didn't have lunch or dinner
so I brought us a snack.
(water splashing)
Hey, Zigby!
The castle is walking down the beach.
Look, the castle is closer to the sea!
No, I think it's the other way around!
The sea is closer to the castle.
Crazy coconuts.
The waves are coming up and washing the castle away.
That's why we found the flag higher up on the beach.
The sea washed it up there!
And that's why the ants build their home
high up on the beach.
Uh, Zigby!
Now this castle is going to disappear too!
(laughing) >> Cool bananas.
The ants had the answer.
We need to move the castle higher up the beach
where the waves can't get it!
Come on, let's hurry.
(panting) (happy music)
(relaxing music)
We did it!
Huh?
How did the castle get up here?
We rescued it.
We worked all night.
And we solved the mystery, Zara.
It was the sea that took your castle.
Waves came up high and washed it away.
It's called, high tide.
High tide?
Yes.
And when the waves stay down low,
it's called low tide.
The tide comes in and goes out again every day.
Oh, wow.
Thank you for rescuing our sandcastle.
No problem.
(stomach growling)
(laughing)
Guess what time is is McMeer?
Breakfast time!
Hooray!
Let's eat!
(laughing)
(happy music)
(playful music)
Presenting Zigby's magic disappearing trick.
First, I place this passion plum inside this cup.
(suspenseful music)
Then, I say the magic words,
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra
make this passion plum disappear.
(friends gasping)
(friends exclaiming)
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra make the passion plum reappear.
(suspenseful music)
(friends cheering)
Best of all, I get to eat the yummy passion plum.
(straining)
Eh, bother!
This passion plum is stuck inside.
Looks like there's some gum.
Hey, McMeer, don't give away how I did the magic trick.
(friends laughing)
Never mind, Zigby, that's a brilliant trick.
Yeah, I could never, ever do a trick like that.
Even if I practice for a million, zillion years.
(laughs) Sure ya could, Elle.
See ya later.
I'm goin' to collect passion plums to make muffins (laughs).
Passion plums don't appear by magic.
Bye, Elle.
ElleBye.
So, Zigby, what's your next trick?
Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know!
Make me disappear.
(laughs) Brilliant idea, McMeer.
Uh, Zigby?
Making fruit disappear is funny
but making friends disappear is trotting in to trouble.
You never know what might happen.
Making McMeer disappear is just the same as
making a great big passion plum disappear.
A great big passion plum?
(stammering) Where? (Zigby laughs)
(playful music)
Ta da!
Zigby's magic box.
Now, this looks like a solid back wall
but actually, it's a trick door.
Are you sure it's a safe trick door?
Hey, Zigby, say the magic words.
Wait, we need to practice the trick.
I'll show you what to do, McMeer.
And you'll see, it's very safe, Bertie.
First, you step in to the magic box.
Now, when the front door's shut
you sneak out the trick door at the back.
Then, I'll say the magic words,
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra make McMeer disappear,
and open the front door.
(gasps) Zigby's disappeared.
Very clever.
Now, close the front door.
Okay, when I say Abracadabra Zigby Zebra
make McMeer reappear, that's when you come back
through the trick door.
Got it? >> Got it.
Now, open the front door.
Ta da!
Oh, Zigby!
My turn, my turn, my turn.
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra make McMeer disappear.
That was easy!
Ah, yes, good!
He's disappeared (chuckles) now bring him back, please!
I think I smell passion plums. (sniffing)
(upbeat music)
Yep!
My nose knows passion plums all right.
(straining)
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra make McMeer reappear.
(gasps) Oh dear!
I'll try it again.
Maybe he didn't hear me.
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra.
(playful music)
(sniffing)
(crunching)
I said, make McMeer reappear!
(gentle music)
(chewing)
(yawning)
Now I need a quick nap. (sighs)
(playful music)
Bertie(gasps) Oh no, what's happened to McMeer?
Oh, he's forgotten what to do, that's all.
McMeer!
Crazy coconuts, he's really gone.
Zigby, Bertie, what's wrong?
McMeer's disappeared.
Disappeared?
Well, how?
Have you looked in this box thingy?
It's not a box thingy, it's a magic box.
And it really is magic, Elle,
because it made McMeer disappear.
So, are you gonna magic him back again, Zigby?
As sure as I'm stripey I am.
Bertie, you need to same exactly the same magic words.
But Zigby, what if you disappear just like poor McMeer?
I'll be disappearing to the same place as McMeer.
So I can bring him back again.
But Zigby, what if you don't come back either?
Come on, Bertie, we have to try something.
(suspenseful music)
Well?
Abracadabra--
ZigbyHuh, what's this?
Zigby Zebra make Zigby (stammering)--
Passion plum seed?
(gasps) I bet this means McMeer is closer than we think.
Disappear.
(suspenseful music)
Oh, yes, Zigby's disappeared all right.
Now, to make him and McMeer reappear.
(playful music)
(laughs) Oh, bananas, a huge passion plum vine!
And it'll lead me straight to McMeer.
(playful music)
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra
make Zigby and McMeer reappear.
(suspenseful music)
ElleOh!
Oh, no, this is the most trouble
Zigby's ever trotted in to.
What if them disappeared forever?
(Bertie gasps)
Bertie, what are you doing?
Wherever they've gone, I have to go, too.
They're my friends.
Get ready to wave the magic wand, Elle.
But Bertie, I can't do magic tricks.
Not even if I practice for a million, zillion years.
This is the only way to get McMeer and Zigby back.
You can do it!
You know the magic words, Elle.
Hi, Elle!
Have you made those passion plum muffins yet?
Zora, I can't possibly make passion plum muffins now.
Zigby and McMeer have disappeared.
Disappeared?
First, McMeer went in to the magic box and then Zigby.
(playful music)
(McMeer snoring)
Oh, McMeer.
I'm so happy to see you.
(stretching) Zigby!
Would you like a passion plum?
And now we don't know where they've disappeared to.
BertieUh, Elle?
Hurry up.
What's Bertie doing in there?
Waiting for me to wave the magic wand
and say the magic words.
Wow, Elle!
Can you do magic?
I, well, I don't think so.
But I have to try.
It's our only hope.
A passion plum seed?
(gasps) This means McMeer's closer than we think.
Abracadabra Zigby Zebra
make Bertie disappear.
(gasps) Elle, yay!
You did a real magic trick.
How did you do it?
Um, I'm not exactly sure.
Can you make Bertie come back?
I really hope so.
Oh, I can't watch.
It's way too exciting!
Abracadabra--
(straining) Just one more passion plum.
(chuckles) Come on, McMeer.
(gasps) Zigby!
McMeer!
Hi, whoa! (yells)
TogetherMcMeer!
(giggles) Yes?
(giggles) Bertie, grab on to us.
(laughs) It's a fast way down.
Do I have to? (groans)
Zigby Zebra make Zigby, whoops!
(all yelling)
Huh?
(boing)
Make Zigby, Bertie, and McMeer reappear.
ElleYay!
Double yay!
They're back!
How did you do it?
By magic.
Passion plum magic.
What a great magician you are, Elle.
Oh, Zigby, that was thrilling.
I think I'd like to try some more magic.
Jungle friends, watch as I make
Zigby, Bertie, and McMeer magically disappear.
(playful music)
Abracadabra Elle's making magic
Zigby, Bertie, McMeer disappear.
(suspenseful music)
(all gasping)
FriendHey, how did she do that?
Abracadabra Elle's making magic
Zigby, Bertie, McMeer reappear.
AllTa da!
(all cheering)
Now let's make these passion plum muffins disappear!
