Brothers and Sisters to the Rescue.

Art.

German folk art.

And music.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

"Symphony N°5,"

written by

Ludwig van Beethoven.

[orchestra plays "Symphony N°5"]

Hi. I'm Annie, and guess what.

My big brother Leo
just brought me a new book to read.

This book has a story
about a brother and sister,

just like us, Annie.

I can't wait to hear it.

Do you want to hear the story, too?

Great!

Leo, will you read it to us?

Sure!

This book is called

"The Musical Adventure
of Hansel and Gretel."

[classical music plays]

"Once upon a time,
there was a brother and a sister

named Hansel and Gretel,

who loved to walk in the woods.

They never got lost

because they'd always leave a trail

to remember the way back home.

One day, they left
a trail of bread crumbs.

Another day, they left a trail of pebbles.

But today,
they left a trail of music notes.

[piano plays notes]

They're walking deeper and deeper
into the wood."

[Annie]
Ooh!

[Leo]
"They start to get really hungry,

but then, all of a sudden, they see..."

[Annie]
A gingerbread house!

Yummy!

[Leo]
"The gingerbread house looks delicious,

so they each take a big bite.

But the gingerbread house
belongs to someone.

Who does that gingerbread
house belong to?"

["Symphony N°5" plays]

A witch! Yes!

[Annie]
Leo, what's the witch doing?

[Leo]
She's tricking them.

The witch is locking Hansel and Gretel

inside her gingerbread house.

They can't get out.

Oh, no!

Poor Hansel and Gretel.

I wish we could help them.

[gasps]
Listen!

[music playing]

Do you hear that, Annie?

I know that music.

It's Hansel and Gretel
calling to us for help.

Yeah! They need us to rescue them
from the gingerbread house.

Come on.

Let's get the team.

[Leo]
Quincy! June!

-Rocket!
-[xylophone plays notes]

What's going on?

Hansel and Gretel are in trouble.

A witch locked them
in a gingerbread house.

How tragic.

So, how can we find them?

Well, they did leave behind
a trail of music notes.

Yeah! Let's look for the music note trail.

Here. We can use my telescope.

[June]
Do you see the trail of music notes

that Hansel and Gretel left behind?

Yes! There it is!

[piano playing notes]

[Leo] The music note trail
leads into the black forest in Germany.

[Quincy] The gingerbread house
must be somewhere inside the forest.

Hansel and Gretel need our help.

We have to rescue them.

-Yeah!
-Absolutely.

Will you help us rescue Hansel and Gretel
from the gingerbread house?

Great!

[jingles]

We've got a mission.

We're going to rescue Hansel and Gretel.

Let the mission...

begin!

Buckle your seat belts!

[all]
Seat belts buckled!

Prepare for blast-off.

We need to give Rocket a lot of power.

Put your hands on your lap
and pat with us.

Pat, pat, pat, pat,

pat, pat, pat, pat.

Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Now raise your arms as high as you can

and say, "blast-off!"

[all]
Blast-off!

[Annie]
Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

[all shout]

[Leo]
Woo-hoo!

[Quincy]
Oh, boy!

Let's find that gingerbread house

so we can rescue Hansel and Gretel.

♪ Hansel, Gretel, don't you worry ♪

♪ We are coming in a hurry ♪

Great song, Annie!

That was awesome!

Look, everyone.

There's the black forest.

[Leo]
And there's the music note trail.

That will lead us to Hansel and Gretel.

Rocket, land down there.

Come on, everyone.

The trail goes this way.

["Symphoby N°5" plays]

Uh-oh.

Who does that sound like?

The witch!

[Annie]
And look!

She's pointing her magic wand
at the music note trail.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

[Quincy]
Uh-oh.

The witch made
the music note trail disappear.

[Annie]
And now she's doing a happy dance.

What a mean witch.

I wonder how we're going
to find Hansel and Gretel now.

We don't know which path to take.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

[chuckles]
Hey, look.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

[Quincy]
That bunny hops in a funny way.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

[June]
Quincy's right.

This bunny does a short hop,
a short hop, a short hop,

and then a long hop.

♪ Short, short, short, long ♪

♪ Short, short, short, long ♪

I think the bunny is trying
to tell us something.

Bunny, do you know which path we should
take to get to Hansel and Gretel?

[plays notes]

You do?

That's great!

Come on, team.

Let's follow the bunny.

[all]
♪ Short, short, short, long ♪

♪ Short, short, short, long ♪

[all laughing]

That bunny is a speedy hopper.

It's hard to keep up with her.

How will we know which path to take?

We need to listen
for the bunny's special hop.

Ready?

Let's listen to the first path.

[long, short, short, short notes play]

Does that sound like our bunny?

No. Let's listen to the second path.

[short, long, short, short notes play]

Does that sound like our bunny?

No, that's not her, either.

Let's listen to the third path.

[short, short, short, long notes play]

Does that sound like our bunny?

Yes! She hopped this way.

Come on!

["Symphony N°5" continues]

It's bunny. We found her.

[plays notes]

[Quincy]
And look.

She led us back
to Hansel and Gretel's music note trail.

Thank you, bunny.

You were a big help.

[plays notes]

-[classical music plays]
-Listen!

I can hear Hansel and Gretel.

We're getting closer.

Let's hurry and rescue them.

The music note trail
goes over that bridge.

[Leo]
That's the Alte Brucke.

To the bridge, team!

Hansel and Gretel need us!

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Uh-oh.

Who does that sound like?

Yes! It's the witch!

["Symphony N°5" plays]

[June]
And look!

She's pointing her magic wand
at the bridge!

Oh, no!

That mean witch is making
the bridge go up in the air!

It's so high!

Now how will we get across the river?

[xylophone plays notes]

Of course!

Rocket can fly us over the Rhine River.

Let's go!

To Rocket!

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Uh-oh.

The witch is using her magic on Rocket.

[Quincy]
Oh, no!

Now the witch made Rocket
go up in the air.

[xylophone plays notes]

Don't worry, Rocket.

We'll get you down.

But how, Annie?

Well, the witch used her magic wand
and sang high,

and that made the bridge
and Rocket go up high.

Maybe if we sing low,

the bridge and Rocket
will come back down low.

♪ We can sing low ♪

-Way to go!
-Excellent job.

All right!

[xylophone plays notes]

You're welcome, Rocket.

Come on, team.

Now we can follow the music note trail
over the bridge.

[classical music plays]

I hear Hansel and Gretel.

They sound louder.

We're getting closer
to the gingerbread house.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

And it sounds like someone
is getting closer to us.

It's... the witch!

We'd better hurry
and get to the gingerbread house

before that witch makes any more trouble.

Right! Come on!

We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go--

superfast!

Will you help me fly Rocket superfast?

Great!

♪ Superfast! ♪

[all]
♪ Superfast! ♪

[classical music plays]

To get to superfast,

we have to start at adagio.

Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

Moderato.

Now pat the beat on your tummy
a little faster.

Allegro!

Now pat the beat on your shoulders
even faster!

Presto!

Now reach your arms to the sky
and shake your whole body!

We did it!

We're flying superfast!

[xylophone plays notes]

Oh, no!

Rocket's having trouble
fitting through these trees.

How will we get to the gingerbread house

to save Hansel and Gretel?

I'll go!

Wait, Leo.

You're my brother,

and I'm going with you.

Are you sure, Annie?

Of course I'm sure.

Brothers and sisters take care
of each other.

Way to go, Leo and Annie.

You are very courageous.

This forest is awfully big.

Leo, will you hold my hand?

Of course, Annie.

Let's sing your song
to help us feel brave.

We made it to the end

That means the gingerbread house
must be right here,

but I don't see it.

Do you see the gingerbread house?

Yes! There it is!

Quick! Let's rescue Hansel and Gretel.

[classical music plays]

I can hear Hansel and Gretel inside.

Don't worry, Hansel and Gretel.

We're here to save you.

[notes played]

We rescued them!

Yay, Hansel and Gretel!

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Uh-oh.

That sounds like...

the witch! And look!

["Symphony N°5" plays]

She's using her magic wand
to make herself louder.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

And that's making her bigger.

She's conducting a crescendo.

Leo, what are we going to do?

I can conduct to make
the witch's music quieter--

diminuendo.

We can shrink the witch.

-Go for it, Leo!
-[Hansel and Gretel's notes played]

I'm going to need your help
to shrink the witch.

Will you conduct a diminuendo with me?

Great!

Put your hands up high.

Now slowly lower them.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Quieter.

["Symphony N°5" plays more quietly]

Quieter.

["Symphony N°5" plays very quietly]

Diminuendo.

[notes played]

It's working!

The witch is getting quieter and smaller.

["Symphony N°5" plays loudly]

[Annie]
Uh-oh! The witch has her wand out again.

She's conducting another crescendo.

["Symphony N°5" plays more loudly]

Quick!
We need to conduct another diminuendo

to shrink the witch.

Put your hands up high.

Slowly lower them.

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Quieter.

-["Symphony N°5" plays more quietly]
-Even quieter.

-["Symphony N°5" plays very quietly]
-Diminuendo.

Diminuendo.

["Symphony N°5" plays,
almost imperceptible]

You made the witch so tiny.
[giggling]

Great conducting!

And here comes Rocket.

[wind blows]

["Symphony N°5" plays]

Rocket used his breeze blower

to blow the witch far, far away.

[notes played]

We'll never see that mean witch again.

[notes played]

You're welcome, Hansel and Gretel.

We're glad we could help.

I cannot believe it!

You saved Hansel and Gretel.

That was stupendous.

We were a great team, Annie.

I'm glad you're my sister.

And I'm glad you're my brother, Leo.
