Good morning, Ray!

Good morning, Bear!

So, Ray, we've been having
cloudy,

rainy weather
around here, lately.

Is it going to be
the same today?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Quite the opposite.

It's going to be bright
and sunny, my dear Bear.

Well, what do you know.

Well, as far as I'm
concerned, Ray,

the more
I see of you, the better.

[laughing]

Well, thank you.

I feel the same about you.

Have a nice day.
No, have a maaarvellous day.

Thank you, Ray. You, too.

[chuckles]

That Ray, he's a bright one.

He he.

Well, come on in.

[music]

Well, I was…

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

It smells like
somebody just woke up.

[sniffing]

Hm?

[sniffing]

It's you!

[sniffing]

Ooo, tell me.
Did you just wake up?

Because you have
that just woken up smell.

[sniffing]

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time.

[laughter]

Besides, I'm glad you're awake.

Otherwise, you'd be asleep.

Well, come on. I have
something I want to ask you.

What shall I drink this morning?

Should I drink hot tea?

Or cold iced tea?

Hot tea?

Cold tea.

Hot tea?

Cold tea?

Cold tea! Thank you.

I'll get a glass.

[gasps]

Hey, Tutter.

Hi, Bear.

[gasps]

Tutter, what are you up to?

Up to?

[gasping] Well, I'm trying to
get up to the cabinet,

Bear, to get my
glass.

I want some tea.

Well, Tutter, I'm just about
to have some tea

and I was
just about to get a glass.

-Could I help you?
-No.

A mouse who can't get a
glass

might as well pack
in the cheese, Bear.

[panting]

Well, if you're sure
it's no extra trouble.

-No trouble at all, Tutter.
-[laughter]

[gasps]

Here you go, Tutter.

Thank you, Bear.

You are welcome, Tutter.

And now, I'll get my glass.

Boy, that's a mighty big glass,
Bear!

Well, I'm a mighty big Bear,
Tutter.

Hey look!

Big!

-Smaaall.
-Hm mm.

-Big!
-Hm mm.

-Smaaall.
-Hm mm.

I know, I know, Bear.
Big, small.

Big, small…
the story of my life, Bear…

[laughing]

Excuse me.

Okay, well sure, Tutter.

Now, let's see, where was I?
Hmmm.

Oh, yes

Hot tea or cold tea.

Ah! Whoa!

Whoa ha.

Um… Tutter, is there anything
else I can do for you?

No, Bear. A mouse can manage.

[laughing]

I just want to get some sugar.

This mouse likes
some sugar in his tea…

[gasps]

Gotcha!

Hickory-dickory.
I can't get anything!

That's ok, Tutter,
I'll get your sugar for you.

-There you go.
-What?

Oh… Sure, sure, Bear.
It's so easy for you.

You're so big, so big.

Yes, Tutter, I am big. But
being big isn't always great.

Well, it looks great from down
here. I can tell you that much.

But Tutter, I can't play
in really small places,

like your mouse hole and I
really wish I could do that.

Yeah, but you can still
reach anything you want.

Bear.

Nobody knows the
troubles of being small…

Well, yeah, Tutter

-but, I mean… you can…
-[clank]

Oh, I dropped my spoon

-let's see where it went…
-Your spoon?

Can you get it, Bear?
Bear, can you get it?

No, I can't.

It went under the refrigerator
and my hand is too big.

Too big!

Too big!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Stand aside, Bear, stand aside.

This looks like
a job for a mouse.

Yes!

Tutter?
What do you see down there?

TUTTER: I don't see it yet,
Bear.

But boy, it's like a maze
down here. Right… left

Pardon me…

I wonder what's down there.

I think I see it, Bear!
I think I see it!

Really?

There you go, Bear.

Thanks, Tutter.

That's great!

Thanks, Bear,
but wait a second.

Huh?

There's something else
under here.

Alright, watch
out! Coming through!

What else do you see, Tutter?

[gasps]

Is this yours. Bear?

Hey, this is my favourite
honey dipper.

I thought I lost it.

Wow!

Tutter, that was really great!

[Tutter gasping]

Yeah, you're right!
That was great, Bear. [chuckles]

I did it!

Well, the next time
you're missing something

you should ask me, Bear.

Down here, I'm the king.

And it's good to be the king!

[both laughing]

I'm big and Tutter's small.

Even though we're opposites,

we still make a
pretty good team.

Yeah,
I think you're right, Bear.

We make a pretty good team

Yeah.

Well, see you later, Bear.

Okay.

Bye!

Okay, Tutter. Bye-bye!

Opposites.

Hey!

Opposites!

Opposites.

Do you ever think
about opposites?

Well, you probably know
a lot of opposites already.

Let's try and think
of some opposites, like..

Oh, the opposite of sad…

[sad music]

What's the opposite of sad?

That's right! Happy.

[tarantella]

And let's think
of another one…

Wet.

The opposite of wet is…

…did you say…dry?

That's right. [chuckles]

Hey, you're pretty good at this.

So you must know
that summer is hot,

and that winter is.

What?

Cold. Yeah!

Opposites sure are interesting,
huh?

And just think

what would the world
be like without them?

♪ What if you
could never go up? ♪

♪ What if you could
only go down? ♪

♪ Hop in the elevator -
I wouldn't see you later ♪

♪ Cause you'd never stop
going through the ground ♪

♪ And what if it
could never be day? ♪

♪ What if it could
only be night? ♪

♪ Before you got up
You'd have to go to bed ♪

♪ You couldn't see
left or right ♪

Where am I?

♪ Opposites, opposites,
everywhere there's opposites ♪

♪ So many you can name ♪

♪ Opposites, opposites,
if there were no opposites ♪

♪ Everything that's different
would be the same ♪

♪ What if you could
only be loud? ♪

♪ What if you could
never be quiet? ♪

♪ You'd hear
yelling in your ears ♪

♪ For years and years ♪

♪ Cause life would
be a big loud riot ♪

♪ Opposites, opposites,
everywhere there's opposites ♪

♪ So many opposites
you can name ♪

♪ you gotta love opposites
if there were no opposites ♪

♪ Everything that's different
would be the same ♪

Hot! Cold! Left! Right!

Young! Old! Day! Night!

♪ So many opposites
you can name ♪

♪ I love opposites
if there were no opposites ♪

♪ Everything that's different
would be the same ♪

♪ Everything that's different
would be the same ♪

♪ Opposites! ♪

But hey! What do you think?

What opposites can you think of,
hm?

What do you think?

I know a whole
bunch of opposites.

Hot and cold

Go, stop.

Left and right.

Happy and sad.

In, out.

Dark and light.

Day and night.

Up and down.

Easy, hard.

Fast, slow.

-Big!
-Little.

-Apples.
-No apples.

Wow! You sure do know a
lot about opposites.

Well, I'm just about
to enjoy my iced tea.

Hm… Looks good doesn't it?

Except
I think something is missing.

Lemon wedges!

I've always loved lemon
wedges in my iced tea.

I think I'll get some.

One Trillion 947…

That was some game
of balloon bounce, Pip.

It sure was, Pop.

You were fantastic.

Not as fantastic as you,
fellow balloon master.

-But now, I'm hot.
-And thirsty.

Yeah, if only we had
a nice tall glass of-

[gasps]

Hellooo!

Pop,
is that what I think it is?

It depends, Pip.
What do you think it is?

I think it might be a nice,
cool glass of iced tea.

Ha!

Pip? It is a nice,
cool, glass of iced tea.

Just what we needed!

-We are so lucky.
-After you, sir!

Thank you very much.

[sipping]

Aaah!

Perfect…

[laughing]

Ah, yes.

Nothing like lemon
wedges in iced tea.

Well,
here are the lemon wedges and…

Where's my tea?

This glass was full.

But now, it's empty.

Hey, that's another
opposite…full and empty.

Well,
I wish my glass wasn't empty.

But now…

[pouring liquid]

There we go.
Now it's full again.

But it could use
a little more ice.

I'll be right back.

[indistinct] [exclamation]

Pop! Do you see what I see?

I think I do…

Didn't we drink all of the tea
that was in this glass?

Perhaps it is an enchanted
glass that has appeared

so that we may
never go thirsty again.

Oh!

Hooray for us!

[chuckles]

[sipping]

Aaah!

[laughing]

Okay, here we go.

Some nice ice

to go in…
my glass… of… ice.

What is going on here?

I know this glass was full
and now it's empty again.

Hm… let's see…

[music]

And this time.

I'm going to watch
to see what happens.

Okay, Pop.

I'm not looking. Tell
me…is the glass full again?

[gasps]

It is, Pip.
It is full of tea, again.

Great and powerful
glass we thank you…

May you always runneth over…

Hello, fellas.
Enjoying my tea?

The glass speaks!

[mumbling] Yes, yes, sir.

We enjoy your tea, oh mighty
tea-filled one.

Guys. It's me, Bear.

-Bear?!
-No!

Bear is in the glass!

Get out of there,
Bear! It's ice cold!

-Should we break the glass?
-Guys, I'm right behind you!

[exclaims]

Bear?

What are you doing here?

Well, I thought that I would
enjoy a nice glass of iced tea,

but it seems that
someone, or someones,

are enjoying the tea for me.

Aaaaah!

-Then the glass isn't…
-We mean…

We thought

[laughing]

Silly us.

It's okay, guys.

I'll get you your own tea.

If there was any left.

-But now it's…
-Empty.

Hey, Bear?
Isn't empty the opposite of…

Yes,
empty is the opposite of full.

Thank you.

Okay, guys.
You can enjoy my tea.

I'll just make some more later.

Thank you, Bear.

Boy, that Bear's the best.

Isn't he wonderful…

[laughing]

Hey! Did you hear that?

[Shadow laughing]

That sounds like Shadow.

Enjoy the tea, guys.
I'll see you later.

Okay. Bye, Bear!

You know, maybe if we look real
hard and sing a song together,

she'll appear. Sing with me!

♪ 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? ♪

Shadow!

[Shadow laughing]

Hey, furry old friend!
Here I am!

-Over here!
-Oh…

Hello, Shadow!
So good to see you today.

So what have you
been up to today?

Well, Bear,
I guess you could say

I've just been frolicking with
my friends, the sunbeams.

You know, with no sunlight,
there would be no shadows.

Hey, there's another opposite!

Light and Shadow!

Well, Shadow, I was wondering,
could you tell us a story?

Why certainly!! Let me see.

Ah! Here's a story
with two sides to it.

Just watch.

Hello, and welcome to: stories
of incredible opposites.

Jack Spratt could eat no fat.

I'm on a diet.

His wife,
Pat Spratt, could eat no lean.

I'm trying to bulk up.

And through a strict regiment
of diet and exercise…

They joined the Olympic team!

-I'm now a marathon runner.
-And I'm a weight lifter.

-Need a lift, honey?
-Yeah.

What a great story!

Those two make a good team.

Well,
you know the old story, Bear

-Opposites attract.
-True.

Well, I'm off. But when
you need another story…

just try and catch me!

[laughing]

-Thanks, Shadow. Bye, Bye!
-[Shadow] Byeeee.

[classical music]

Hey, do you hear that?

It sounds like music.

Where's it coming from?

Is it coming from my right?

Or my left.

It's coming from my left.

Right! I mean, correct!

I mean, let's go in.

Opposites are great because
they give you choices

like… open and closed…
left and right…

quiet and…

[loud music]

Loud!

It's my turn! No, no, Treelo.

-It's my turn!
-No!

Ojo? Treelo? What's going on?

My turn!

[gibberish]

Ojo, Treelo?
What is the problem?

We want to dance.

And I want to listen
to my kind of music.

And I want to
listen to my music.

You're listening to W-1-2-3,

for dancers who like
their music soft and slow…

[The Blue Danube]

Isn't it beautiful. Bear?

Yes it is, Ojo.

Treelo want to
listen to Treelo music!

[upbeat music] Yeah.

Your listening to W-O-W,

for dancers who like
their music loud and fast!

Yeah. [indistinct]

This is good, too, Treelo.

[indistinct]

So,

I guess you two like two
different kinds of music.

Yeah, we like opposites.

Hey, you're right!

Treelo likes his music …

…fast and loud!

And Ojo likes her music…

Slow and soft!

So, then, you two can
never dance together?

-No. Not ever.
-No. Never.

Well… too bad.

Because you can never play
the game of Fast and Slow?

Oh, well…

BOTH: Fast and Slow?

-Yes.
-How do you play that?

Well, if you were interested…

you see you'd start
dancing

to some kind
of music that was maybe…

slow and soft…

-Yeah, okay. This is nice.
-That pretty cool.

What you do next?

Well, then somebody calls
out a different kind of music,

-like…
-Fast music. Fast, Bear!

[loud music playing]
[cheering]

Okay. Slow! Slow! Slow! Slow!

[soft music playing]

[laughing]

Okay! Fast, now, Bear! Fast!

TREELO: Okay.

Slow, Bear. Slow!

[slow music]

TREELO: This is fun!

[laughing]

Wow. Some day, huh?

Why don't we go up
and tell Luna all about it.

Come on!

[music]

Ah! There she is.

What's going on, Luna?

Well, Bear, just rising
to the occasion … to meet you!

[laughing]

And how are things
in the Big Blue House?

Well, let me see

Things were big and small,

fast and slow,

full and empty…

[sighs]

A day full of opposites.

-How wonderful.
-Yeah.

Tutter and I discovered how
good he was

at reaching
things way down low.

And this Bear is good at
reaching things way up high.

Well a mouse and a bear
make a great team.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Gee, I wonder why there
are so many opposites?

Well,
without the darkness of night,

no one could enjoy
the light of the moon.

Without down there,
there would be no up here.

And then where would I be,
Bear?

True, true.

Say, Luna, would you sing
the "Goodbye Song" with me.

I would love to, 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 ♪

♪ 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!

And the next time you
think of an opposite,

tell someone about
it.

See you soon.

[click]

Hey, here's another opposite …

the light is on.

[click]

Now it's off!

[click]

On.

[click]

Off.

Hard not to think
of opposites…
