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

I'm just on my way
to the Otter Pond...

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

It kind of smells like... soap!

[sniffing] Hm?

[gasps] It's you!

[exhales]

Tell me.
Did you just wash your face?

Because you smell
all clean and soapy!

[exhales]

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time?

[giggles]

As I was saying, I'm on my way
out to the Otter Pond.

Ojo's invited me to a picnic.

And she wanted me to ask you
if you wanted to come too!

Well, do ya?

Great! Well, let's go!

What a lovely day.

Here she is. Hi, Ojo!

Aw, no, no, no, no, no, Bear!
I'm not Ojo.

But, I thought, Ojo...

No, no. no. I'm Lady Ojo!

A very proper lady bear.
And you are a Lady too, okay?

Lady Bear.

-Lady Bear?
-Uh-huh.

Okay, why not?

[clearing throat]

Pardon me. So very nice
to be here, Lady Ojo.

Charmed, I'm sure.
I'm still waiting for one guest.

I understand.

The picnic can't start until
everyone's here, but...

who else are we waiting for?

Who do you think
we're waiting for?

Me! Treelo here!

Hey! It's Treelo!
We were waiting for Treelo!

[whooping]

Why, Treelo.
Welcome to the picnic!

Bear talk funny.

Lady Treelo! You have arrived!

We've been waiting for you

so we could start the picnic,
Lady Treelo.

Ojo, why you call me
Lady Treelo?

Treelo not lady, silly Ojo.
Treelo boy.

No, no, no, no, no,
you're a lady, Treelo.

A lady! And would you please
take your napkin,

and place it...

Napkin!

Treelo napkin head!

[laughing]

Lady Treelo!
But that's not proper!

Now, let's look
in the picnic basket and...

Hey!

[screaming]

Guys, you scared us!

Pip and Pop!
We were just having...

A picnic! We love picnics!

Hey, Pip and Pop!

Hey, Treelo! How you doing?

Pretty good. Look at this!

-What? What are you doing?
-Me Napkin-head!

[laughing]

Napkin head!

Check it out.

What are you doing?

[whooping]

We're the napkin-headed Otters!

[laughing]

Oh, Bear? What's a Lady to do?

You know,
they're such... boys...

Yes, I know what you mean.

Yeah, we're boys!

-Yeah, we're boys!
-Napkin headed boys!

And it's otter boys!

Well, Lady Ojo,
you know what they say...

If you can't b*at them,
join them.

That sounds like a good idea,
Bear. Now, where's my napkin?

Oh, I dropped it.

Wow. Boys can really do
really great things.

Hey!

Yeah!

Boys.

Boys like to run and jump...

Or, sit and read a book...

Or build a tower
for hours and hours.

Or just sit on their mommy's
lap and sing.

Yeah.

Boys aren't just one thing.

But one thing is for certain.
Boys are great!

But hey, what do you think?

What do you think
boys like to do?

Yeah! What do you think?

Boys like to run around
and play tag.

I like to get really dirty.

I love homework.

Hanging out with my friends.

My favorite thing
is to play sports.

Playing basketball.

Football and stuff like that.

Boys like to make weird faces
and girls don't.

I like to bug my sister.

Boy.

You sure do know
a lot about boys.

In fact, I think I see some boys
out there right now!

-Yeah.
TUTTER: Bear. Oh, Bear?

Tutter?

Hey, Tutter.
What can I do for you?

Oh, there you are.
Bear, I was just wondering...

Would you read me something?
Please!

Of course, Tutter.
I'd love to read to you.

Now, let's see...
what do we have here?

It's a book
about my favorite hero,

Mousey the Great!

Mousey the Great.

Okay. Let's see
what this is about.

Oh, boy, oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy!

Mousey the Great
was a brave little knight

who lived in a land
far, far away.

Mousey's the best, Bear.
The best!

Quite handsome, too.

Yeah.

In this land,
there lived a dragon,

who liked to scare damsels.

Bear... what's a damsel?

Well, in olden times,

a damsel was kind of
like a princess.

Well, keep reading,
keep reading!

-Okay, okay.
-Yeah.

Mousey did not like this at all,
so he chased the dragon away.

Wow!

Look at him go.

C'mon, Bear. Come on!
Let's see how it ends.

Ok.

The damsel was so happy,
she gave Mousey a kiss...

Even though he did not ask
for a reward.

The end.

Wow!

Wow! Boy!

Did you see
how he saved the day, Bear?

Golly, there's nothing
that Mousey the Great can't do.

Yeah, he's pretty great
all right.

Gee, Bear.

I wish I could be like Mousey.

Wait a minute,
wait just a minute...

[giggling]

Where did Tutter go?

[indistinct]

Did you hear that?

[indistinct]

Tutter?

Tutter? Is that you?

[screaming]

It is I, Bear!

Tutter the Great.

Tutter the Great?

Wow, Tutter is dressed up
kind of like Mousey the Great.

Do you like to pretend
to be your favorite hero?

Well, Tutter, you look... great.

I know, Bear, I know...

And have no fear, Bear,

Tutter the Great is here
to protect you.

[shouting]

Well, thank you, Tutter.
I'll keep that in mind.

Yes, well...

But somewhere,
perhaps... the Living Room...

there is someone
who needs the help

of Tutter the Great! I'm off!

Yes! I'm off! Yes! I'm off!

[shouting]

Well, okay, Tutter... the Great.

But, be careful out there.

[shadow laughing]

Did you hear that?

[shadow laughing]

That sounds like Shadow!

Now, maybe if we look real hard

and sing a song together,
she'll appear.

Ready?

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be? ♪

Shadow!

[shadow laughing]

Hey, you big ol' Bear!
I'm over here!

Hello, Shadow!
So nice to see you.

So, Shadow, I was wondering,

do you have a story
for us today?

Why certainly,
Bear! Let me see...

Well, here's one you'll like,
whether you're a boy, or a girl!

Just watch.

♪ Girls and boys ♪

-I'm a girl.
-I'm a boy.

♪ Come out to play ♪

-Hey, come on out.
-Be right out.

♪ The moon doth shine
as bright as the day ♪

♪ Come with a whoop ♪

♪ Come with a call ♪

Let's go play!

-Oh, boy! Pudding!
-Yeah. Yum!

Wow! "Girls and Boys
Come Out To Play."

What a great story, Shadow!

Thank you, Bear.

Well, I think
I'll go out to play too!

But when you need another story,

just try and catch me!

[laughing]

Thanks, Shadow. Bye-bye!

TUTTER: Bear! Bear!

Tutter!

Bear! I think I found something!

And this might be a job
for Tutter the Great!

Hey! Would you like to see
what Tutter the Great has found?

Come on.

Tutter?

Tutter?

Bear. Bear! Down here.

Tutter, why are we hiding?

Just stay low and keep quiet.

Follow me.

[screaming]

It's okay, Bear. It's okay.

Walk this way.

Well, I could if l were a mouse.

It's gotta be
around here somewhere.

What?

[screaming]

Look there, Bear! Just look!

Hey.

It's a bunch of pillows
and sheets.

No, Bear. Can't you see?

It's a dragon's cave!

All right. If you say so.

Oh, I say so, Bear. I say so.

And any minute,
the dragon will come out.

And then I, Tutter the Great,

will chase him
from the Big Blue House.

Let's watch...

[humming]

-Hey!
-Get down, Bear! Get down!

But, Tutter...

-It's Ojo.
-I know, Bear, I know.

It's much worse than we thought.

-It is?
-Yes, Bear!

Don't you see what's happened?

The dragon has taken
Ojo prisoner!

Actually, Tutter, it looks like
she's just playing house.

Don't let your eyes
fool you, Bear.

Ojo is a damsel in distress.
A damsel!

Oh, no! Look!

The cave door is closing!

Time is short.
I must go and save her.

I'm going in! Cover me!

What?

Onward!

[humming]

Come out, you mean old dragon!

It is I, Tutter the Great!

Come out I say!

Hi, Tutter!

[screaming]

It's you, Ojo.

Are you alright, fair damsel?

Yeah! Of course I'm ok.

Such a brave little bear.

Don't be afraid,
though, fair damsel!

Tutter the Great is here!

Stand behind me,
I shall protect thee!

Bear... what's Tutter doing?

Oh, well, today Tutter
is Tutter the Great.

Yes, and I, Tutter the Great,

have come to save you,
fair damsel in distress.

To save me?
What from, Tutter... the Great.

From the mean old dragon
who holds you in this dark cave

against your very will!

Well. It's ok, Tutter.

I'm just playing house
and I don't need to be saved.

I'm not playing
dragons or anything.

Poor little Ojo!
Poor, cute, little Ojo.

You don't have to act brave
any longer.

I, Tutter the Great,

will be brave enough
for both of us!

Ok. If you say so.

Charge!

Oh, there it is.

Charge, I say!

[shouting]

I can't get out! Help!

It's okay, Tutter,
I'll help you.

I'll save you. Ok.

-Tutter, are you okay?
-Yeah, Tutter, are you okay?

-Me?
-Yeah.

Tutter the Great?

Yeah, I'm fine!

I'm okay.
I just have to go right now.

I just have to go, that's all!

-Tutter!
-Tutter?

Bear, what's wrong with Tutter?

Well, Tutter wanted to be
the hero.

But, I don't think he's happy
about the way things turned out.

-Oh. Sorry, Bear.
-That's ok, Ojo.

I hope he's okay.

-Well, bye, Bear.
-Bye, Ojo!

Maybe I should go
talk to Tutter.

Tutter!

Hey, Tutter.

Hey, Bear.

[exhales]

Tutter, are you alright?

Well, no, Bear.

No, I'm not all right.

I set out to save
the Damsel Ojo,

and she ends up saving me!

Oh, Bear,

I so wanted to be
just like Mousey the Great.

But... what's so great about me?

What? What's so great about you?

Tutter, come here
and I'll tell you...

♪ So you're not a hero
saving lives of damsels ♪

♪ Storming down
the castle gates ♪

You're right, Bear.

Wow, Bear, do you really think
all of that nice stuff about me?

Of course, Tutter.

And as far as everyone else

in the Big Blue House
is concerned,

you don't have to wear armor
or save damsels

to be "Tutter the Great."

To us, you already are.

Wow.

Thanks, Bear. Thanks a lot.

-No problem, Tutter.
-I guess it's just great

to be me!

It sure is!

[giggling]

[gasps]

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.

Luna, how are you?

Happy to see you, Bear.

And how are things
in the Big Blue House?

Great.
We had quite a day, today.

Really, Bear? What happened?

Well, Treelo and Pip and Pop

had a lot of fun
at Ojo's picnic being...

well, boys.

Well, boys will be boys.

What about Tutter?

Tutter had a big day.

He read a book about
his favorite hero

and then tried to be
just like him.

And how did that turn out?

Well, he found out that
there are a lot of great things

about just being himself.

How true.

Tell me something, Luna.

What do you think of boys?

Oh, well, Bear, some of my best
friends are boys, like Ray!

And you, Bear.

I'd have to say
I think boys are really great!

Why, thank you, Luna.

Say, would you like to sing
the "Goodbye Song" with me?

I would love to, my good friend.

♪ We hope you liked it too ♪

♪ Seems like we've just begun ♪

Bye now!

Well, thanks for visiting
the Big Blue House!

See ya soon!

And just remember.

It doesn't matter whether
you're a boy or a girl.

What's important is that
you are you!

And that's the best thing to be.

Bye!
