[door opening]

Oh, hi!

I was wondering when
you were going to get here.

And, it's so good to see you!

[sniffs]

Ahhh!

Nothing like the
smell of Spring!

I just love it.

Out with the old air,
in with the new!

And after a whole winter
here in the big blue house

with two otters, a couple
of bears, a lemur and a mouse…

It can get a little…
umm… stuffy.

That's why this Bear always does

his big blue house
cleaning in the Spring.

[sniffs]

[music playing]

Hmmm?

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

Huh! It's you!

Oooo. Tell me did you just
pick some Spring flowers?

Because you smell
like Spring, too!

Ahhh… Or do you smell
this good all the time?

Heh, heh!

Now let's see
if we can find Tutter.

He's going to love
getting this package.

Tutter!

Oh, Tutter!

-Bear?
-Ahh!

Ahhhh!

Wooo!

Tutter, you scared me!

Heh-heh. Sorry, Bear, sorry.

Bear, did the mail come yet?

-Did it come? Did it come?
-Yes it did…

And there's some mail for you.

Really? Mail for me?

Oh, what is it,
Bear, what is it?

Well, let's see it's
a little package from…

Mousecraft tools?

This must be
the new shovel I ordered,

yeah, yeah,
yeah, the shovel for my garden!

-Ha, ha, ha!
-Oh. Cool.

For the little garden
that I built for you and Ojo.

-Yeah!
-Ok, here you go.

Oh great, hmm… Just great!

Now, see ya, Bear!

Oh, boy this is heavy, whoa!

Bye, bye, Tutter.

Heh-heh­heh.

Now, as I was saying?

This Bear with his
trusty feather duster

likes to do his
cleaning in the Spring.

And I've already
done the kitchen.

Come on, I'll show you.

Ta da! Doesn't it look great?

Yeah, come on…

Hey, Bear!

Oh, hey, guys!

Come see what we did.

In the bedroom!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Pip and Pop are helping
me with my cleaning.

They're in charge of upstairs.

Come on, Bear!

Okay, come on let's go
see what they've been up to.

PIP: Ok, move the pillow to the
left…

POP: Left.

PIP: Right there
right there, perfect!

BEAR: Wow!

Ahh, this looks great.

-Ahhh, wrinkle!
-Get it!

-Got it!
-Good!

-Whew!
-Thanks for helping you two!

Wha… no problem, Bear!

We love helping!

-Even though it wasn't easy!
-It sure wasn't!

-It wasn't?
-Nope.

-You're kind of messy, Bear.
-A little bit.

Really? I didn't know that.

But no problem!

Yeah, we've got a lot of energy!

[indistinct chatter, shout]

I can see that.

-See ya, Bear!
-Yup!

We're off to the otter pond!

Really?

Yeah! To look at wild…
flowers!

Oooo… so pretty! Ahh..

Wa-hoo! Yahhoo!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Here we go!
To the otter pond! Otter pond!

Thanks again for helping!

-Bye-bye!
-Love the flowers.

Looks like two little otters
I know

have slight case
of Spring fever!

But hey, who can blame them?

[deep breath]

Spring has sprung!

I love saying that!

Spring has sprung!

[deep breath]

Smell that?

Fresh grass,
leaves, fallen rain!

Yeah, Spring is probably
the best season there is…

right up there with Fall,
Winter, and Summer!

Mmm-hmm. Spring.

Spring is the time of year
when everything is new again!

Like, oh, it gets warmer…

And the leaves on trees

and the grass
are all green again…

And the birds return…

[bird chirping]

And all sorts of little baby
animals are born!

[bird chicks chirping]

Ahhhhh…

Yup, Spring it's when the earth
makes its big comeback!

♪ Springtime, oh, springtime
the sun is shining bright ♪

♪ The trees are turning green ♪

♪ And the bugs begin to bite ♪

♪ The grass is coming up now ♪

♪ And the weeds
will reappear ♪

♪ I don't mind mowin'
cause springtime is here ♪

[sniffs]

Smell that grass!

♪ Springtime, oh, springtime ♪

♪ The crickets
start to chirp ♪

♪ The birds begin to tweet ♪

♪ And the frogs
begin to burp ♪

♪ In winter it was quiet ♪

♪ And the forest was at rest ♪

♪ Don't mind the racket

♪ Springtime, oh, springtime
it makes me jump for joy ♪

♪ Pack away the snowboots

♪ It's time to do some sweeping
it feels good to be alive ♪

♪ I don't mind cleaning

But wait.
I'm not finished yet!

♪ Come on and slap me five ♪

♪ I feel like dancin'

♪ I feel like dancin'
cause springtime's arrived! ♪

Yeah, Spring has
so many great parts to it.

For me it's spring cleaning!

But what do you think?

What's your favorite
part about Spring?

Hmm, what do you think?

It gets a little warmer.

It rains a lot in the Spring.

The dirt gets very very wet
and they make puddles.

The flowers come up
and the leaves are all green.

I like to see
the flowers blooming.

I like sunflowers!

Spring? Baseball.

Soccer and um, baseball.

Animals come out.

Worms, kind of bugs.

Really big centipedes
that are fat.

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!

Yeah, Spring's here!

Wow. You guys must love
Spring as much as I do!

Well, let's head on downstairs
and finish cleaning up…

Whoops!
I forgot my feather duster.

It must be in the
bedroom where I left it.

Boy, it sure was
nice of Pip and Pop

to help out
and clean up the bed…

room?

What? What? What?

What happened?

This whole room was
clean just a minute ago I…

I saw it. You saw it, right?

It, it was clean, right?

Wha… what happened? Umm?

Well? Umm?
Let's uh? You know, uh?

Go downstairs,
and clean up, uh? Hmm?

TUTTER: No, no, no, no, no, Ojo!

OJO: But Tutter! Why not!
TUTTER: Uhhh!

Woo, that sounds
like Ojo and Tutter

and it sounds like it's coming
from the kitchen. C'mon.

Now please try
to understand, Ojo!

Look we have radish seeds.
We have green bean seeds.

And we have pumpkin seeds.

None of them, not one mind you,
is a magic bean.

Not one!

But Tutter, how do you know?

-How do I know? How do I know?
-Yeah. How do you know?

But… because, because,
because, ha!

Because Bear told me.

Ha, ha…
that's right! Bear told me.

Hmmm…

Hey you two, what's going on?
Is everything all right?

No, Bear, no!
Everything is not all right!

-Not all right at all!
-Really?

Ojo does not know
how to plant a garden!

-I do too!
-Do not.

-Do too.
-Do not.

-Do too.
-Do not. Do not.

Hold on a second. Hold on…

I built this window
box for Ojo and Tutter

to plant a vegetable
garden together…

I hope.

You know, sometimes
it is kind of hard

to work together, and agree.

Yeah, and it's especially
hard to agree

when one little bear is wrong,
wrong, wrong!

Tutter!

Bear, I was just saying
that maybe some

of these seeds
could be magic beans…

-Please!
-And they might grow

a magical secret garden
for us…

That we could play and hide in!

-Aaagrrhh…
-Okay.

Yeah, yeah and my point, Bear…

My point is that this
is a vegetable garden.

It says what the seeds are right
on the packet,

right on the packet.

You read them to me,
remember Bear?

Yes, Tutter. But I think
Ojo's playing pretend.

Ahh… well, mice don't pretend

and plant at the
same time, Bear.

We just don't.

But, Bear,
planting's not as much fun

for me if l can't pretend!

Awww!

Hmm well, maybe there's a way
you both can do what you want…

I don't see it,
Bear, I just don't.

Well, what if you
divide the garden…

Huh… and I could plant
some magic garden beans!

And I could plant
some real ones?

Yeah! Why not?

Aw I don't know, Bear…
I just don't.

Whoops! Uh-oh.

Oops. There Tutter,
you dropped your pumpkin seeds.

Here you go.

Thank you, Ojo… Huh?

Pumpkin seeds? Ahhhh-huhh…

I thought you said
those were magic beans?

Well, yeah,
to me they are, Tutter.

But to you,
they're pumpkin seeds.

I'm only pretending!

Oh. Okay… Ummm?

All right, so you ready
to plant the garden now?

-I, ah, guess so…
-Great!

Wow, what a great story.

But, Mary sure had a lot of

growing
in her garden, too, huh?

Yeah.
What's a "Cockel Shell", anyway?

Hmmm… you got me.

Maybe it's what cockels come in.

[Shadow laugh]

Maybe, maybe.

Well, Bear, I'm off.

But when you need another story,

just try and catch me!

[both laughs]

-Bye, Bear!
-Bye, Shadow!

Well, maybe now, I can finally
get to my Spring cleaning.

[Treelo giggling]

Huh? Treelo?

[thud]

OJO: Treelo! Treelo!
Stop! What are you doing!

Treelo!
Stop, what are you doing?

It sounds like we found
our messer-upper. C'mon.

What's he doing with that?
Why's he doing that.

Ohhh… Oh no…

Oh, oh Bear, oh…

-We didn't do it!
-I know. I know. I know.

But he didn't get the garden!

Yeah! We saved the garden.

Which way did Treelo go?

Out the back door,
Bear, out the back door.

And, may I say, Bear,
may I say that

that monkey
is acting, really, really…

Doh… I can't describe it.
I can't!

-Yeah!
-Huuuhh!

Hrnmm… c'mon.

Let's go find Treelo and see
what's up. To the otter pond!

I don't know,
oh here he comes again.

Whoah!

-Treelo, are you ok?
-Hey, Bear!

-What's up with Treelo?
-Yeah. He's acting weird.

Really strange.

-Whoa, look there he goes!
-Oh, my goodness.

-I'm not sure…
-Looks to us…

Like a serious case of…

Oh, look at him now, watch out!

Of Spring fever!

Hee hee hee hee!

Whoah!

Huuhhh! Oh, look out!
No, Treelo… whoah..

Treelo, get off!

[giggles]

Hey, Treelo?

-Hey, Bear! Ah-haa!
-How're you doing?

-Weeeeeeeeee!
-Is everything okay?

-Everything great, Bear!
-Well, that's nice, Treelo.

-Birdies… see the birdies!
-Yeah. The birds are back.

Yeaahhh… birds, yeah…

Yeah, they're a chirpin'!

Grass! And trees!

Treelo loves the trees!

Yeah. Everything
is getting green again!

The sun!

The sun!

Oh, life giving orb! Ahhh..

Yeah it's even warmer.

In fact, Treelo I can't
blame you for feeling this way.

Spring is an exciting
time of year.

[Treelo laughing]

Spring? What Spring?

Treelo, Spring is what's
got you so excited!

-Really?

comes back to life!

Oh… Treelo love Spring!

[piano music playing]

[piano music playing]

Phew. That was some busy day.

Luna's going to love
hearing all about it.

C'mon. Let's go find her.

[music playing]

Ahhh, 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.

Ah, there she is!

Hello, Luna!
How are you this evening?

Wonderful, Bear.

I was saying goodbye to
the other side of the world.

But how are things
in your big blue house?

Well, Spring has sprung!

I just love saying that.

[laughter]

You're so right, Bear.

What a beautiful Spring evening!

Mmm.

And what was that I heard
down at the otter pond earlier?

Well, Luna, you know it's Spring

and I think everyone
in the big blue house

got a case of…

Spring fever!

That's right!

It really got Treelo going.

He couldn't stop
spinning and dancing

and loving the Spring.

Well, Spring fever can
really give you a lot of energy.

Ummm, hmmmm.

Don't bears like to do
Spring cleaning in the Spring?

[chuckles]
We sure do.

And I got help from Pip and Pop.

Oh, and Ojo and Tutter
planted a garden together!

Ohhhh… how nice.

Spring is such a
wonderful time of year.

Yeah, but… Luna,

I was wondering, um..

When Spring comes do you
ever miss the fall and winter?

Oh, Bear,
I love all the seasons,

but somehow Spring
time is special.

When all the new leaves come out

and the earth turns green again,

it makes you realize that
life continues, no matter what.

I think there's a lot of
comfort in that.

True, Luna.

Huh, I never thought of that.

Well, I'd better get back up
to light the Spring night,

or no one will ever go to bed.

[chuckles]
I know what you mean.

But Luna, would you join me
in singing

the goodbye song
before you go?

I'd love to, Bear. I'd love to.
