Hi! It's you!
And you're just in time.

It's so good to see you.
Come on in!

[sniffing]

Wait a minute...
What's that smell?

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

It's you!

Ooh, you smell so good
and I'm so curious!

Tell me, did you just wake up?

'Cause you have that
"just-woken-up-smell!"

Or do you smell
this good all the time!

OJO: Ho ho ho
and a bottle of milk!

That sounds like Ojo!

It's always fun
when she comes to play.

OJO: ♪ Sailing! Sailing!
Doobidy doo be doo ♪

♪ There! She blows! ♪

♪ There! She blows! ♪

I'm so curious.
What do you think she's up to?

Hey Ojo, what are you doing?

Why, I'm sailing the water!

So you're a sailor!

-Yeah right.
-And the coffee table is...

No, no, no, no, no.
This is not a coffee table Bear!

I'm pretending!

I see. Ojo is playing pretend.

Yep, this is my sailboat!

I get it, so the coffee table is
your sailboat!

So then the broom stick
is your mast!

And the old night shirt
is your sail!

OJO: Uh-huh.

Wow, you sure know how
to use your imagination.

Angus away!... Bear, Bear!

-Bear!
-Yes, Ojo?

You're in the water.

Sorry, I'm in the water!

-[playful piano music]
-[Bear sighs]

That's better.

[sighs in relief]

-We're sailing the water!
-Yes, we are!

Hey, Bear, hey, Ojo!

-Hey, Pip! Hey, Pop!
-Otters overboard!

All hands under!

-Pip!
-Pop!

We're in the water!

I get it, Ojo's Sailing!

Permission to come aboard,
Cap'n Ojo?

Permission granted!

[laughing]

Cap'n Ojo runs a tight ship.

Welcome aboard, cotton swabbies!

Aye!

-Wow! We're sailing!
-That's right, Bear!

Can't you see it now...

Sailing the blue ocean...

-Wow! Waves.
-Waves.

And fish swimming in the waves!

Look! Fish!

[exclaiming]

And the bright sun shining down!

Wow! The sun!
The waves and fish!

-I love the water!
-We love water!

Bye-bye, Bear.

Huh? Where're you going?

ALL: We're sailing!

♪ Sailing, sailing,
over the living room ♪

Happy sailing!

Um, I guess I can get down now.

The water was just pretend.

[grunts]

Anyway, before you got here,

Ojo and I were
playing-with some water!

See?

"Wa-ter."

I'm so curious!
Why is it so wet?

And why does everybody drink it?

And how come you can
you see right through it?

And watch this,
If you stick your nose in it...

...it comes out wet!

Every time!

It's the preferred
beverage of bears, you know.

And think of all the stuff
you can do with water.

Like um let's see um,
you can pour it on your head...

...or um take a bath in it.

Or mix it with some dirt
and make mud...

There is nothing like
rolling around in the mud...

until your fur is all
sticky and squishy

and it sticks
in between your toes and...

Woops! Sorry.

I got carried away.
Bears love mud!

But here's the thing
I've been wondering about -

What is the shape of water?

♪ Oh, water, water, water♪

♪ Won't you say
your shape out loud? ♪

♪ Are you small and round,
just like a raindrop ♪

♪ Or big and swirly
like a cloud? ♪

♪ Hmm...
oh, water, water, water ♪

♪ I like to spray you
from a hose ♪

♪ Oh, you're raindrops
falling in my eye ♪

♪ And you're snowflakes
landing on my nose! ♪

♪ How can water
be so different, ♪

♪ Yet always the same? ♪

♪ Oh, water, water, water ♪

♪ You know,
we make a perfect team ♪

♪ 'Cause I love
to heat you on the stove ♪

♪ And you're happy
turning into steam! ♪

♪ Oh, water, water, water ♪

♪ You're so
mysterious-and yet, ♪

♪ You're just
the greatest stuff I know ♪

♪ When it comes
to getting something wet! ♪

♪ Yes, you're just
the greatest stuff I know ♪

♪ When it comes
to getting something wet! ♪

♪ Cha-cha-cha! ♪

So what do you think?

Does water have a shape?

Hmm?

...shape in water
are like round.

-It's fun to play with.
-I like to go in the sprinklers.

Waves look sort of like this,
but then they crash down.

[making water sound]

[splash]

If you go under water

with your eyes opened
you could see the wave.

Splash, splash, splash!

[indistinct shouting]

Boy, you guys really
know a lot about water!

[object clatters]

Hey, did you hear something?
What was that noise?

[object clatters]

There it is again!

Hey...
I think it's coming from...

the kitchen.

[upbeat music]

Well everything
seems to be in order.

But that was such
a peculiar sound.

[Tutter grunting]

Do you have any idea
what's making that noise?

[Tutter grunting]

Look! It's my friend!
Tutter, the mouse!

[Tutter heavily breathing]

Oh-oh!

Whoa! Whoa… Ah!

Gotcha!

Oh-oh! That was close!
Too close!

Are you ok, Tutter?

Fine, fine!
No bother, no bother.

I'm ok, I'm ok. Thank you, Bear.

You're welcome, Tutter.

I wouldn't want anything
to happen to you.

That's nice.

[Tutter heavily breathing]

Excuse me... Tutter, Tutter,

I'm so curious.
What are you doing?

Can't talk now, Bear!
I'm busy, busy, busy!

Tutter is a very
clever creature.

What do you think he's doing?

Great Gouda! Brie!

I'll never get the water I need!

I wish I weren't so small!
Too small, too small.

Um, is there something
I can help you with?

No, no!
I'm quite all right by myself.

Quite all right.

A mouse can't expect a bear to
be around all the time to help.

[Tutter grunts in effort]

Hey Tutter,

what's this? Is this a canteen?
Canteen's hold water!

Well... well,
mice need water, too Bear!

Let's see… Mmm...

climbing on boxes,
a canteen for water...

Aha! Tutter is climbing
on the boxes up to the sink

to fill his canteen with water!

That's what I like
about you, Tutter,

is that you always
try to do things

until you get things right.

Thank you Bear, thank you.

A lot of good that will do me!

A compliment never
bought a slice of cheese!

Oh-oh!

Hickory dickory! [sighs] Boy!

Sometimes Tutter
is so determined

he forgets to ask
for a little help.

Um, are you sure there
isn't something I could do?

Maybe I could lift your spirits?
Or raise your outlook?

No, no, no!
No time, no time to talk.

Look,
I've got to get some water!

You know mice aren't like bears.

They can't just grab
whatever they want.

Um, yes, I know what you mean.
It comes in handy to be

big -but only
if I can help a friend

you know now and then,

I don't know maybe
reach something?

Hey! What do you know?

What do you know?
Hey! What do you know?

-Yes, Tutter?
-Bear?

There is something
that I think you could do.

-Really?
-Would you awfully mind...

I mean would you mind awfully...

Would you help me
reach the sink?

Why Tutter, what a great idea!
I'd be delighted.

Well yes,
I'm glad I thought of it!

[chuckles]

Okay.

Up you go.

Oh here we go.

-TUTTER: Um…
-BEAR: Uh...

Tutter, can I turn on
the faucet for you?

If you wouldn't mind, Bear!

If you wouldn't mind.
Thank you, Bear! Thank you!

[indistinct noise]

[slurp]

[sighs in relief] Water!

You know, it takes a big mouse
to ask for a little help.

Yeah, and sometimes it takes a
big Bear to help a little mouse.

♪ Well, I tried to reach
the faucet on my own ♪

♪ I found I couldn't do it no,
no all alone ♪

♪ So if you're havin' trouble
don't be afraid to say ♪

♪ I need a little help today ♪

♪ Well, if you've got
to move a mountain ♪

♪ You know
I'll always lend a hand... ♪

♪ Lend a hand! Ooh ♪

♪ My giant friend,
you're gonna need my help ♪

♪ To pick up a grain of sand! ♪

♪ You know
I'm gonna be there for you ♪

♪ Come what may all if you
need a little help today! ♪

♪ Need a little help,
you might need a little help ♪

♪ You might need
a little help today ♪

♪ Don't you know,
don't you know you might need ♪

♪ A little help, you might
need a little help, yeah ♪

♪ Well,
you might need a little help, ♪

♪ you might need
some help from me, my friend♪

♪ Today! ♪

Yeah!

PIP AND POP: Bye-Bye Bear!
Bye-Bye Tutter!

See ya!

How do those two do that?

So, how are you feeling, Tutter?

Good, Bear, good.

[sighs in relief]

Thank you, Bear.

You're welcome, Tutter.

There's nothing quite
like helping a friend.

And you know it's funny

how a little bit of water
for you and me

is a lot for a mouse. [laughing]

[exclaims]

Hey what's that sound?

[splashing]

Do you hear splashing
in the bathroom?

Ooh let's go see who it is.

[Treelo singing]

Treelo. It's my friend Treelo.

Hi, Treelo. Treelo's
a very friendly lemur

and Treelo loves bubbles!

Hi, Treelo! Say hi to everybody.

Hi, everybody. Bubbles!

So Treelo, what are you doing?

Playing with bubbles!

You're playing with bubbles.
That sounds like fun!

Fun bubbles!

Yeah, I like bubbles too!

Whoaaa! What's going on?

Treelo. Treelo, see the bubbles?

There are too many bubbles
and they're going over.

[Treelo exclaiming]

Treelo it's ok, it's ok.

Just pull the plug,
the plug, the plug!

BEAR: Mm-hm.

-[both exclaim]
-[Treelo shouting]

Treelo, what’s the matter?

I'm scared!

Big sucking sound.

Treelo is afraid he'll get
sucked down the drain!

No, no Treelo,
Treelo, Treelo it's ok.

The drain is just for water
and Treelo is not water.

Treelo not water.

And the drain is small...
And Treelo is big!

You're too big to go down
the drain even if you wanted to!

[mumbles]

Yeah! Treelo no water!

Right!

[drainage sinking]

I'm here! Treelo is still here!

Right! Treelo's still here!

It's ok! Thank you, Bear!

Aw you're welcomed, Treelo.

Treelo's happy,
and Treelo's very, very wet.

Hey, Bear?

-Yes?
-Can I ride on your back?

On my back?
Well, Treelo, you're kinda wet.

Please! Please! Please!
I want to ride on your back!

Ok, ok, ok.

Treelo likes to ride on my back-
kind of "bear back!'

[laughs]

[grunts]

-Careful, Treelo. Ready?
-Yeah.

[gibberish singing]

Ride'em Treelo!

Bye bye, Bear!

Bye, Treelo.

[gibberish singing]

Hey,
do you know my friend Shadow?

Well, she's kind of unusual, but

if we look real hard

and maybe sing a song together,
we can find her.

♪ O Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be? ♪

Do you see my friend Shadow?

Hi, you big old Bear.

Shadow, there you are!
What have you been up to today?

Aah, I was just playing

with the ripples
of the water in the pond.

Ooh that sounds like fun.

Shadow, I was just wondering.

Could you and your shadow
friends tell us a story today?

Why certainly, Bear!

Let me just see
what I can fancy.

Just watch!

♪ Itsy Bitsy Spider
went up the water spout ♪

Okay.

[Spider grunting]

SPIDER [screams]:
This is really hard!

-[thunder]
♪ -Down came the rain ♪

♪ And washed the spider out ♪

[Spider screams]

♪ Out came the sun
and dried up all the rain ♪

♪ And the Itsy Bitsy spider
went up the spout again ♪

Ok.

[Spider grunting]

I’m coming, I’m coming!

[Spider heavily breathing]

I made it.
I’m the king of the roof!

[Spider laughing]

Can’t catch me! Can’t catch me!

[Spider laughing]

Wow. That Itsy Bitsy Spider
looks like he has a lot of fun.

I know lots of spiders
and they're a good bunch.

Well, I must fly but when
you need another story,

just try to find me.
See you soon!

-Bye, Shadow! Thank you!
-Bye, Bear!

Well, it's been a terrific day,

but there's one more friend
I want to visit. Come on!

[soft guitar music]

Huh… The attic. Isn't it great?

Sometimes I like
to just come up here

and look out at the stars!

It's also where I come
to talk to a special friend.

Let's go see if we can find her!

There she is!
Hello, Luna! How are you?

Just fine, Bear.

How is everything
in the Big Blue House today.

Fun.
We played with water all day.

Water! Is there anything
more soothing than water?

Well, Ojo pretended she was
in the ocean

sailing on a boat.

Ojo has a wonderful imagination.

I hope she didn't get
the furniture all wet.

[Bear laughs]

Luna, it was just pretend!

Tutter had some trouble reaching
the faucet,

but I gave him a hand.

What a good friend you are,
Bear!

Why thank you!

And what did Treelo do today?

Well,
he was having fun in the bath,

but was a little
afraid of the drain.

Oh! But the drain
is only for water

and water really isn't
anything to be afraid of.

It's a wonderful thing!

True, true.

Well, I hate to go,

but it's time for me
to return to the sky

and cast my glow upon the ocean.

Oh Luna, do you have
time to join me

in a good-bye song
before you go?

Of course, Bear!

♪ -Hey, this was really fun
-We hope you liked it too ♪

♪ Seems like we've just begun ♪

♪ When suddenly we're through ♪

♪ Goodbye, goodbye,
good friends goodbye ♪

♪ Cause now it's time to go ♪

♪ But, hey,
I say, well, that's ok ♪

♪ Cause we'll see you very soon,
I know ♪

♪ Very soon, I know ♪

♪ Goodbye, goodbye,
good friends goodbye ♪

♪ And tomorrow,
just like today ♪

♪ The moon, the bear,
and the Big Blue House♪

♪ We'll be waiting for you
to come and play ♪

♪ To come and play,
to come and play ♪

Bye, now.

Well, thanks for visiting
the Big Blue House!

Oh!

And come back soon! Bye.
