The Puppet Princess.

And music--

["Funeral March of a Marionette" plays]

"Funeral March of a Marionette,"

written by Charles François Gounod.

Hi. I'm Leo.

And this is my puppet Charlie.

Watch, I can make him say "hello".

"Hello."

[laughs]
What about you?

Do you like playing with puppets?

Cool!

Well, today my friends and I
are going to see a puppet show.

It's called "The three silly puppets
and the puppet princess."

Ooh, a puppet princess.

That sounds marvelous.

["Funeral March of a Marionette" playing]

Wow, June, you can dance
just like a puppet.

[giggles]

[xylophone plays notes]

Rocket says it's time
to go to the puppet show.

Do you want to see the puppet show?

Great! Come on!

Buckle your seatbelt.

[all]
Seatbelts 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, 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]
Whoa!

-Whoo-whoo!
-All right!

[Leo]
To the puppet show!

[all laugh]

The puppet show is that way, Rocket.

In Prague, in the Czech Republic.

[xylophone plays notes]

[classical music plays]

[Annie]
Look, look, look!

Here comes the puppet theater
for the show.

Oh, no! The puppets fell off the theater!

Puppets, are you all right?

[play notes]

The puppets are a-ok.

[June]
Ha ha, silly puppets.

Hi, puppets, my name is June.

And these are my friends.

[puppets play notes]

Well, it was nice meeting you, puppets,

but now you'd better get back
to the puppet theater.

You don't want to be late for your show.

[puzzled music]

I don't see the puppet theater anywhere.

Let's check with my binoculars.

Do you see the puppet theater?

Oh, yeah, there it is.

[Annie]
But Leo, it's roaming so far away.

[Quincy]
It's going to Prague without the puppets!

[play notes]

Oh, no! The puppet theater
left the puppets behind!

[sad tune]

Poor puppets.

They sound sad.

Don't feel sad, puppets,
I'll help you get to the show.

[happy music]

I promise. Will you help the
puppets get to the puppet show?

Fantastic!

[happy music]

We can all help the puppets, right, team?

[all]
Right!

[xylophone plays notes]

[baton chimes]

We've got a mission!

We're going to get the puppets
to the puppet show!

Let the mission...

begin!

March, march, march.

March, march, march.

March, march, march.

Follow us, puppets.

[play notes]

[June]
Ha ha, silly puppets.

We're going to have to teach
the puppets how to march.

Ready?

Put your feet out in front of you

so you can lift your legs.

Now lift one leg at a time.

March, march, march.

Can you march your legs like me?

March, march, march.

Very good!

March, march, march,

march, march, march.

Look, the puppets are starting to get it.

Show the puppets how to march
their legs even higher!

March, march, march.

March, march, march.

Excellent marching, puppets.

Thanks for helping me teach
the silly puppets how to march.

[Rocket grinds]

What's wrong, Rocket?

Yeah, Rocket, is something the matter?

[xylophone plays notes]

Oh, I see what it is.

Rocket found a sign.

A warning sign.

It says that the trees coming up
have sticky sap on them.

Eww! Sticky sap!

Ok, puppets,

be careful that you don't touch
any of the sticky, sappy trees.

Got it?

[play notes]

All right, everyone, follow me!

["Funeral March of a Marionette" playing]

Hooray!
I made it through the sticky trees!

So did I.

Us too.

[Rocket hisses]

Um, but I don't see the puppets.

Did the puppets get stuck
in the sticky, sappy trees?

You're right, they did!

[Annie]
Oh, no!

The red puppet's got
his foot stuck in the sap!

[Quincy] The yellow puppet
got his elbow stuck in the sap.

[June] And the orange puppet
got his nose stuck in the sap.

[all laugh]

Silly puppets!

We have to help the puppets get unstuck

so they can get to the puppet show.

[xylophone plays notes]

I have a plan.

We can show the puppets
how to move their bodies to get unstuck.

Quincy, can you play
some music to help us?

Sure I can.

I can play a get-unstuck rhythm
on my triangle.

[chiming]

Perfect!

Now let's help the red puppet
move his foot

to Quincy's get-unstuck rhythm.

Put one foot out in front of you,

now move only your foot to the rhythm,
like this.

♪ Foot, foot ♪

♪ Foot foot foot ♪

♪ Foot, foot ♪

♪ Foot foot foot ♪

[June]
Yay!

[Leo]
We helped the red puppet get unstuck.

[happy music]

[all laugh]

Look how happy he is.

Now let's help the yellow puppet
get his elbow unstuck.

Move just one elbow
to the triangle rhythm.

Ready?

[all laugh]

[Leo]
He sure looks happy.

Only one more puppet to get unstuck.

The orange puppet!

He got his nose stuck in the sap!

Can you move just your nose
to the triangle rhythm like this?

[Annie]
You did it!

[boing, happy music]

[all laugh]

Now that's a happy puppet.

You helped all three puppets

get unstuck from the sticky, sappy trees.

Excellent job!

[instruments playing softly]

I wonder what that sound is.

[gasps]
Look!

There's the puppet theater!

[Quincy]
And I hear...

instruments.

Do you see the instruments?

[Leo] Yeah, they're coming
to see the puppet show.

And it looks like they're ready
for the show to start!

[agitated music]

We have to hurry
and get the puppets to the theater

before the show starts.

Come on, puppets, let's march.

Go, puppets, go!

Good marching!

Sing with me!

Look, look, look!

That sign says
that the puppet show is this way.

We must be getting closer
to the puppet theater.

[xylophone plays notes]

This way, puppets.

And remember--stay on the path.

["Funeral March of a Marionette" playing]

Hey, wait a second,

the puppets aren't behind us any more.

Uh-oh, they took the wrong path!

They're headed straight
for that dessert factory!

[June]
Ha ha. Silly puppets.

That's not the puppet show,

that's a factory where they make
cupcakes and cakes and cookies.

Come on!

Wow!

Cool dessert factory!

I wonder where the puppets went.

Do you see the puppets?

Yes, there they are!

They're on top of those kolaches pastries!

[cheerful music]

Silly puppets!

Uh-oh. You guys, look!

The puppets are headed
straight for those machines!

Those machines squirt
the desserts with jelly.

[Leo] And that machine puffs
the desserts with powdered sugar.

We need to warn the puppets!

Or else they're going
to get squirted and puffed!

[Annie] Oh, no,
they're headed for a jelly squirter!

[June]
We have to show the puppets

how to pick up just their feet
so they don't get squirted.

Come on, let's sit like the puppets

with our feet in front of us.

Get ready to lift up your feet.

Now! Lift up your feet!

-Fantastic!
-[squelch]

And look, the puppets are lifting
their feet just like us!

[Leo]
Yay, puppets!

[Annie]
They didn't get squirted.

[squelch]

[Leo]
Uh-oh, but here comes the next machine.

A sugar puffer!

[June]
Those puppets had better duck.

Let's show the puppets
how to duck just their heads.

Ready?

Duck your head!

And the puppets ducked too.

They're moving exactly like us.

[Quincy] Look out!
Here comes another jelly squirter!

Get ready to pick up your feet.

Pick up your feet!

-[squelch]
-[June] A sugar puffer!

Get ready to duck your head.

Duck your head!

-That's it!
-Way to go, puppets!

[Leo]
Uh-oh! The conveyer belt is moving faster.

[June] The jelly squirters
are squirting jelly faster!

[Quincy] And the sugar puffers
are puffing sugar faster!

We have to help the puppets move faster.

Do you think you can go faster?

Great!

Now get ready,

here comes a jelly squirter.

-Lift your feet!
-[squelch]

There's a puffer.

Duck your head!

-Feet!
-[squelch]

Head!

-Hooray!
-All right!

You helped the puppets
through all those machines.

How wonderful.

[happy music]

[Leo]
Nice catch, Rocket!

[puzzled music]

Good to have you back, silly puppets.

[happy music]

[instruments playing softly]

Uh-oh, that sounds like...

the puppet show!

[nervous music]

[Annie]
It is the puppet show!

[gasps]

And the curtain's starting to go up!

The puppet show is about to start!

Without the puppets!

[agitated music]

What are we going to do?

We have to get the puppets
to the puppet theater!

We promised!

June is right.

And there's only one way
to get there in time.

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! ♪

To get to superfast
we have to start at adagio.

Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

["Funeral March of a Marionette"
playing slowly]

Moderato.

Now pat the beat
on your tummy a little faster.

["Funeral March of a Marionette"
playing more quickly]

Allegro!

Now pat the beat
on your shoulders even faster!

["Funeral March of a Marionette"
playing fast]

Presto!

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

We did it!

We're flying superfast!

[Leo]
We made it!

[instruments play flourish]

We got here before the curtain
went up all the way!

The puppets are just in time
for their show!

[happy music]

Ok, puppets,
it's time for you to put on your show.

"The three silly puppets
and the puppet princess."

Um, wait a second,

I see three silly puppets...

But I don't see a puppet princess
anywhere.

[surprised music]

Uh-oh!

The puppets forgot they need
a puppet princess for their show!

Ha ha. Silly puppets.

[lively music]

[boing]

What is it, little puppets?

You want me to play the puppet princess?

That's a great idea, puppets!

Yeah, June, you're really good
at moving like a puppet.

Hmm.

I suppose I could.

But I'm going to need your help.

Will you help me move like a puppet
for the puppet show?

Excellent!

[excited music]

Come on, the show is starting.

Once upon a time,
there was a puppet princess.

Then one day the puppet princess
met three silly puppets

who didn't know how to move their bodies.

[discordant music]

[laughing music]

[Leo]
But the puppet princess helped them.

Come on, let's show
the puppets how to move.

Stand up, like me.

That's it, get up on your feet.

Stand up nice and tall, like a puppet.

Excellent!

[Quincy] First, the puppet princess
taught the puppets how to march.

March with me!

["Funeral March of a Marionette" playing]

[Annie] And then she taught them
how to move their elbows.

Now move just your elbow with me.

[music continues]

[Leo] She taught the puppets
how to move their noses.

Move just your nose.

[music continues]

[Leo] She even taught the silly
puppets how to duck their heads.

Duck your head with me.

[laughs]

[Annie] The princess
and the puppets became best friends.

And they all danced happily ever after.

[instruments play flourish]

The instruments loved the puppet show.

[happy music]

Aw, you're welcome, puppets.

And thank you for all your help.

You make a great puppet.
