Aw! Hi!

It's so good to see you,

and I was wondering
when you were going to get here.

And I'm just about to check
the mail. Look!

We've got mail!

Let's see
what's in the mail today.

Look.

It's a card… for… Bear.

That's me!

Well, come on in.

Now, let's see who...

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

Wait a minute.

[sniffing]

It's you!

[exhales]

Tell me. Did you just have
some cereal for breakfast?

Because you smell
all milky and good!

Or do you smell
this good all the time?

Now. Let's see what's in here.

Well, only one way to find out.

And I think
I know what it is....

Yes, I was right!

It's a birthday card!

Um. I'm sorry.

I forgot to tell you...

Today is…
well… kinda my birthday!

Yeah I'm one year older!

[happy music]

Yeah!

And you know what I like
to do on my birthday?

I like to have a nice, quiet way
relaxing with my friends,

doing nothing at all!

That's better.

Now, let's see
who this card is from.

It's from my friend
Ursa who lives in Spain!

It says
“To Bear, My Good Friend.

"Feliz Cumpleanos!”

Hey, that means
Happy Birthday in Spanish!

Hope it's one honey of a day.
[laughs]

Love, Ursa.

Now let's see… where
should I do nothing first?

The Bear swing!

To the Bear swing!

Hey, where is he?

He's got to be around
here somewhere,

Yeah, let's find him.

I just love to do absolutely....

Hey, here he is!

-Nothing?
-Hey, Bear.

Happy Birthday!

Why thank you, guys!

So, what'll we do first. Bear?

Eat cake or open presents?

Treelo open presents.

But, you gotta have
your strength

for opening presents,

which is why you eat cake first.

Yeah, and a little ice cream
wouldn't hurt either...

Urn, guys, guys...

Yeah, maybe we should let Bear
say what he wants to do first!

-You're right, Ojo!
-Yes, we're very sorry, Bear.

You go right ahead.
After all, it's --

Your birthday!

Well, thanks guys,

but you see I really don't want
anybody to make a fuss--

Bear!
Break out the cheddar, guys!

The Big Blue House
is partying today!

Yaaaaay!

Guys? Hello?

What is your wish,
furry birthday king?

What would you like
for your birthday!

Well, guys, that's what
I've been trying to tell you.

You see, I really don't want
anybody to make a fuss

for my birthday.

You see, all I want to do is
relax and do nothing.

Wait a minute.

Are you trying to tell us
that you don't want to do

anything on your birthday?

Well, yeah.

I just want to take it easy.

-Oh!
-A-ha

Sure.

Ok, see you later. Bear!

Okay! See you later.

Aw! There's nothing like
swinging to and fro,

fro and to...

Come here, over here.

Follow me.

C'mon into the foyer.

I've got something
really exciting to tell you.

‘Cause I don't understand
it at all.

Yeah, I know.

What is with that Bear?
Will someone tell me?

-Hel-lo!
-Hi there!

Hi, um, we were wondering,
maybe you can help us, ok?

We know that Bear doesn't
want anyone to make a fuss,

but we really want to do
something for his birthday.

Yeah! He does so much for us.

Yeah, we've got to do something
really, really great for Bear.

But what?

Yeah, what do you think
that we should do?

Give something.
Give Bear something.

Hey!
That's a great idea, Treelo!

We'll give him something!

Hey!

Give!

Cool!

Give.

What? Giving is a really nice
way to make someone feel good.

But what do you give
someone on their birthday?

We could give him a cake!

Hey where'd that cake come from!

Or a present.

Yeah, and we could give Bear...

Hug! Give Bear hug! Yeah.

A hug or a smile!

Yeah, a smile!

Hey! I just got a great idea!

We could give Bear all of those
things if we gave him.

A party!

A Party, party, party!

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Like a surprise party!

Yaaay!

But how are we going to do that,
Ojo?

Well, hum, we need a plan.

Ah! Ow!

A plan is, well,
you know, a plan!

Eh… It's the way you're going
to get something done.

-Um, right?
-Right, Ojo!

Hey! I could make a cake.

I've made lots of four
cheese cheesecakes...

Great!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

And we're good
at decorating the house!

And Treelo!

You and I could make
a present for Bear!

Yeah! Present.
To the kitchen, everybody!

To the kitchen!

While Bear's resting!

Will you help us
keep this a secret?

Don't tell Bear anything, okay?

It's going to be a surprise.

[sniffing]

Hey, has anyone ever told you
you smell like cereal?

Let's go. C'mon.

Guys, um, guys,
hey come on guys!

I can't see what I'm stirring!

Um, sorry, Tutter.

But we just wanted
to taste one more time,

to make sure it's good.

Yeah, just to be sure...

Hey! Hey!

Where'd all the batter go?

Don't look at us!

There, Treelo! That looks great!

Bear is sure going
to love this present.

-And hug, too, right?
-Yeah, Treelo.

We'll give Bear a big hug, too.

A Bear Hug!

Hey, Tutter,
how's the cake coming?

it was pretty good,
Ojo, pretty good,

but Pip and Pop keep putting
their heads in the bowl.

Us?

And now I've got
to start all over.

We just testing it.

Yeah, besides,
we have nothing to do!

Yeah how are we going
to decorate the living room

with Bear resting in there?
It would ruin the surprise.

Oh, they've got a point, Ojo.

How are they going to decorate
the living room

with all the party decorations

if that big old Bear is
sleeping there?

[whooping]

Oh, Treelo, we haven't got time
for dancing right now!

We've got to get ready
for Bear's big birthday party.

No. Bear Cha-cha-cha!
Bear cha-cha-cha!

Treelo, look we! don't care

if it's the Porcupine
Cha-Cha-Cha.

We still haven't got time to...

Wait! Yeah, the cha-cha-cha.

I think Treelo 's
got a great idea

about how to get Bear
out of the living room.

Now everybody listen up.
This is what we'll do, okay,

okay, all right, Treelo,
you go in...

No, no, no. Papa,
it was Goldilocks.

Goldilocks did it...

-Bear? Bear?
-More porridge.

[screaming]

What?

Hi again, everybody.

-What are you all up to?
-Nothing much. Bear.

We were just hanging around,
you know...

shaking some maracas...

[laughing]

I really do love
the sound of maracas,

but actually, I was just...

Would you like to shake them
with us?

Well, I really love
the sound of maracas, but...

You know, Bear,
the thing about maracas is,

it gives you that itch.

You're right. In fact,
I do feel a little itch...

And maybe a little scritch?

I think he feels that scritch!

Yep, definitely.
Definitely a scritch right here.

-It's a good one.
-Watch out everybody!

If s happening!
If s happening again!

I'm getting that feeling again.

Yeah, it's an itchin',
a twitchin', a scritchin',

a scratchin'!

It's time for the Bear
Cha-cha-cha!

Wow! That was great

everybody, um...

Hey, where'd everybody go?

Well, there's nothing like
cha-cha-cha-ing

on your birthday!

But you know?

All this cha-cha-cha-ing
has made this Bear hungry.

You know what I could go for?

A whole mess of cooked
and buttered string beans.

[chewing]

Let's go to the kitchen
and make some.

How's it going, you guys?

[murmuring]

Great. I'm stirring Ojo,
I'm stirring as fast as I can!

Still too lumpy!

Stir, stir.

Great.

Pip, Pop. Where are you?

-Hey Ojo!
-There's Ojo.

Oh! There you are.
How's it going?

Well, we had a little problem
with the crepe paper.

It's going... real... good!

Ah! Aw!

Okay, well, um, could you
just hurry up a little? Okay?

Okay? Okay, no problem, Ojo.

Ok, Pip and Pop.

What do you think
we should do next

for Bear's big birthday party?

Hey, Ojo!

-Bear!
-Ojo, are you ok?

Ooh!

Hello, Bear!

-Hi, guys!
-Hi. Bear.

What are you... doing here
right now, I mean.

Well. I'm going to the kitchen
to make a whole mess of cooked

and butter string beans,
want some?

Bear. You can't make any cooked

and buttered string beans
right now.

-No?
-No, no, no. Bear,

not even a whole mess of them,
whatever that is.

Well… why not?

Why not? Why not indeed?

Well, because we have to…
er... we have to...

We have to,
We have to take a bath!

-We've got to take a bath.
-We're so dirty.

Well, okay, okay. If you guys
really want to take a bath...

-We do!
-Then everybody in the tub!

Bear, will you give Treelo hug?

Sure, Treelo.
I'd love to hug you again.

Isn't that sweet?

-Thanks.
-Good night. Bear.

[everyone mumbling]

See you tomorrow!

This was definitely
one of the best birthdays

I have ever had.

And thank you for helping
make it a surprise for me.

I can't wait to tell Luna
all about it.

Come on.

There she is.

-Hey, Luna!
-Why, hello. Bear,

or should I say…
Happy birthday Bear!

[laughing]

I'd have sent you a card,
but you know,

there aren't any mailboxes
on the moon.

So tell me,
how was your big day today.

Well, it all started
with a wonderful birthday card

from my friend, Ursa.

And then everyone
gave me a party!

How wonderful.

Your friends are so giving,
Bear.

They love to see you happy.

Yeah, I was happy to just
sit back and relax today,

but Ojo, Tutter,

Treelo and Pip and Pop did such
a good job of surprising me!

With a little help
from all of you out there too!

Giving something to someone
you care about can make you

feel better than anything
else in the whole world.

True, Luna.

But you know there is one last
thing I'd like for my birthday.

And would that
be a goodbye song?

You guessed it, Luna!

What a wonderful way
to end a very happy birthday!

I'd love to, Bear.
