Oh! Hi! You're just in time.

It's so good to see you....

Come on in!

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

[exhales]

Smells sweet,

kinda like honey.

[sniffing]

It's you!

Oooh, you smell like honey,

or do you smell
this sweet all the time?

[giggling]

Well,
today is Tutter's Birthday!

That means Tutter
is one year older

and we're giving him
a birthday party!

And it's going to be a surprise.

Pip and Pop are in charge
of the decorations.

Hi, Bear!
We're blowing up balloons.

Yeah, we're making them big!

-Really...
-Really...

-Really…
-BOTH: Big!

Shhh!

Pip! Pop!

Sorry, Bear.

Guys,

we don't want Tutter to hear!

Must have been
some bad balloons.

Yeah!

New balloons!

Have you
ever been to a birthday party?

It's really exciting when
the birthday boy or girl,

or mouse comes into the room

and then everybody jumps out
and yells...

Happy Birthday!

Bear!

Oh, sorry.

The thing is, we're having
a surprise birthday party.

That means we have to be quiet
and whisper

and tip toe around
so Tutter won't hear.

Will you help us make
the birthday party a surprise?

[exclaims]

Pip, Pop!

Surprise? [giggling]

Pip! Pop!

TUTTER: Bear! Bear!

My. Tutter's coming.
Quick, hide the balloons!

[Pip and Pop shouting]

Remember, don't tell Tutter.

It's a secret.

We're trying to have
a surprise birthday party!

TUTTER: Hello, hello Bear.

BEAR: Oh! Uh...

Aw! Tutter! Tutter!

Um...

Hello, Pip! Hello, Pop.

Hello, Tutter.

I was just wondering...

I mean, I was wondering,
just what was that sound?

Did any of you hear
a balloon pop?

-Balloon pop?
-A balloon?

-Did you see a balloon?
-Not me. Did you, Pip?

-Not me. Did you, Pop?
-Not me. Did you, Bear?

-Not me. Did you, Pop?
-Ok, ok!

I was just asking, just asking.

Uh, Bear?

-Yes?
-Well,

there’s something
I'd like to show you.

Sure Tut-ter, but I, um...

I have to...
I can't, I have to finish,

finish, finish...

-Talking!
-To us!

-Yes!
-Talking... endlessly talking...

-...to us!
-Yes.

Ok. Ok! Well.

I'll be waiting
in the kitchen, Bear!

That's where I’ll be.
When you get a moment.

Ok, I'll be right there!

Yeah, yeah.
I'll be waiting, Bear.

See ya later. I'll be waiting.

Bye-bye, Tutter!

-Bye!
TUTTER: Bye, Pip! Bye, Pop!

Phew!

That was a close one.

Thanks for helping us
keep the secret.

We don't want to spoil
the surprise for Tutter.

-Ok. Pip and Pop...
-Yes, sir!

You two are in charge
of the decorations.

-You know, the balloons.
-Check!

-...the banners.
-Check!

-And the party hats!
-Check!

Party hats are a very
important part

of a birthday party!

Righteeoo!

We... love... balloons!

-Shhh!
-Oh!

Guys, maybe this time

you shouldn't blow up
the balloons so big.

We don't want them to pop!

-Ok, Bear.
-We'll be careful!

And we'll be...

...very quiet!

There's nothing quite
like a birthday, huh?

"Birth-day!"

Birthday!

Mmm-hm.

I love birthdays!
But I was thinking....

what is the big deal
about birthdays?

I mean, why does everybody
always have such a big party?

And then I realized... Birthdays
are really important.

Mmm-hm.

Because it means
you're growing up

which is a really good thing.

Birthday's mean that
you are one year older!

[cheering]

Say, how old are you anyway?

You look like you might be four,

or five

or six or more!

Or maybe it's even
your birthday today!

Ooh! [giggles]

Uh! This is going to be fun.

Now let's see,

what do we need
for a birthday party?

Well, first of all,
we need some decorations.

[happy music]

Then we need
some good food to eat.

I like to eat fruit.

Bears like fruit.

And then we need some presents
for the birthday boy or girl...

And then we need a big cake.

There are so many cool
things about birthdays.

I bet you've been to a lot
of birthday parties.

Well, what do you think?

What is your favorite
thing about a birthday?

I get presents.

I get to stay up late.

Getting presents
and growing bigger.

Blow out the candles.

I blow all of them out.

It's my birthday.

I have a birthday!

Then when the birthday person
comes in..

Everyone shouted, "Surprise!"

Happy Birthday!

Birthday!

A very Happy Birthday!

Phew!

You guys must have had

a few birthdays yourself.
[giggles]

TUTTER: Is that you. Bear? Bear!

Aw! It's Tutter.
I almost forgot,

I was supposed to meet him
in the kitchen!

I hope he hasn't been
waiting too long!

And...

Remember please don't tell
Tutter about his birthday party.

We want it to be a surprise!

Coming, Tutter!

Hi, Tutter.
Sorry it took me so long!

Bear. Bear. You're finally here.

Bear.
Sure is a nice day isn't it?

[giggling]

Well, yes, I guess so.

One might say
it's a very nice day

and a very special day

for a certain, you know,

mouse, like me.

[giggling]

Um, Tutter, is today your...

-birthday?
-Yes, yes!

That's what I was trying to say!

Here, look at this card! Look!

-Wow! A birthday card?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You get birthday cards
on your birthday!

Yeah, yeah.
It's from my Grandma Flutter.

Can you read it for me, Bear?
Can you?

Absolutely, Tutter.

Now let's just see what it says.

[clearing throat]

"Happy Birthday.
Have fun on your birthday!

With all my love,

Grandma Flutter!"

Grandma.

Isn't my grandma wonderful?

-Yes, absolutely, Tutter.
-Yeah.

By the way, could I give you
a big Birthday hug?

A big bear hug?

Well, maybe a little mouse hug
would be nice,

very nice.
A Bear hug might be too big.

Too big.

Ok.

TUTTER: Aw!

Thank you, Bear.

So, Tutter, having a birthday,

you know what means, right?

I get a cake
and lots of presents.

Well, yes and...

And,
also I got that birthday card?

...and?

And what,

what, Bear?

Is there anything else

that happens on my birthday
that I should know?

Mm-hm, Tutter,

when you have a birthday

it means you turn
one year older.

Older?

I'll be a year older?

Hey! That means, I'll be
able to do all kinds of things

that I couldn't do before!

-That's right.
-Yeah, Bear,

I'll be able to do so much more,
when I'm older!

Ooooo look at Tutter's
birthday present.

Um, Treelo, what are you doing?

Treelo want a birthday
present. Happy Birthday!

Um, but I thought this was
Tutter's birthday present.

No. My present.

Treelo birthday
Happy Birthday mine!

-Oh is it really?
-Yes.

Well, I thought today
was Tutter's birthday.

[giggling]

Oh, you're right!
It's Tutter's Birthday!

[giggling]

No, Treelo birthday?

I understand. Treelo's so
excited about Tutter's birthday

that he wishes
it was his birthday too.

Has that ever happened to you?

Treelo,

you can still have lots
of fun at a birthday party

even when
it's not your birthday.

Huh, really?

Yeah. A birthday party
is a chance to get together

with your friends and play.

And eat cake.

Yes, cake.
Everyone gets to eat cake.

And sing songs.

[humming]

Yeah, everyone sings songs

and has lots of fun
at a birthday party!

Maybe I should wrap
Tutter's present again.

Mm-hm.

Yes, wrapping Tutter's
birthday present again

is a very good idea,

but you better hurry up, Treelo.

It's almost time
to surprise Tutter.

[mumbling]

Oh, Happy Birthday, Tutter!

[happy music]

I wonder how the party
decorations are coming.

OJO: Oh Bear, Bear.

Oh, that sounds like Ojo?

I wonder
if she brought the cake.

Alright!

Hi Bear. I've got the cake!
I've got the cake!

That's great Ojo!

Looks like we have almost
everything we need

It's Luna, my friend the Moon!

Hello, Luna.

Hello Bear.

Say, did I hear the sounds
of a birthday party

in the big blue house?

That's right! We had a surprise
birthday party for Tutter.

Oh, how wonderful!

Yeah, Pip and Pop were,
uh, in charge

-of the decorations.
-[Moon giggles]

Well, getting ready for a party

can be as much fun
as the party itself.

And Treelo wrapped
Tutter's present.

He got so excited he thought
the present was for him.

Sometimes, it's easy to forget
that at birthdays.

And Tutter's cake?

His favorite.… a four cheese
cheesecake! With… you know...

Umberger, Cheddar,
Monterey Jack and Gorgonzola.

[giggling]

Was Tutter surprised?

Was he ever!

[laughing]

Um, hey Luna,
when is your birthday?

Me?

Oh I'm too old to remember Bear.

It seems like I've just always
been up here

lighting up the sky.

Luna? Do you have time to
sing a good-bye song

before you go?

Always, Bear.
