for the magistrate and if i go into the

village

she will wonder where i am it will ruin

the surprise you can count on me bubba

i'll do it for you thank you so

where does thing bad live he lives in

the bell tower of that big pagoda past

the village

and i want you to hurry you need to be

back home before sunset

don't worry papa i'll deliver the scroll

and be back before you know it

i can't wait to hear your opera

would you like to hear just a bit before

you go all right

here's the song

[Music]

sick by fun

[Music]

like

[Music]

i must go the master calls

but wait

i don't know where sing-bad's pagoda is

i don't know how to get there

or what to do when

[Music]

um don't worry sagua i know where seeing

that lives

fufu what are you doing here

i'll help you get the sing bad i know

right where it is don't worry fufu will

be at your service

thanks fufu my pleasure

we're going to have such an adventure

making our way to sing that's pagoda

[Music]

huh my bats are calling me something

must be up at home

i'll be back in a few minutes and then

we'll go to sing dad's house

[Music]

yes such an adventure

i bet it's over the river

[Music]

and there'll be storms probably

and maybe we'll have to go over the

mountains

oh but i want to make bubba proud of me

and i want mama to have the best

birthday ever

you can count on me bubba i'll do it for

you

where'd fufu go it's getting late

but i can't find sing that's pagoda

[Music]

the bats have decided to move to a new

cave they say there's better lucky feng

shui higher up the hill

i can't go with you but how will i get

to sing bads without you

not so hard not so difficult really easy

in fact if you know the way i'll just

give you the direction

piece of moon cake take two turns to the

right of the crossroads and double back

through the rice paddy

okay the rice patty and then go over

puzzle lock bridge

and then take the straight road into the

village you'll be there at sing beds

pagoda

no problem hey call me if you need me i

got my sonar turned up

but wait what's the combination to the

lock on the bridge

and turn right at the crossroads

and double back through the rice paddy

but

here's the lake who did say turn right

[Music]

where's the rice paddy uh oh

maybe he meant turn left

oh good that must be puzzle lock bridge

wow this looks complicated and i don't

know the

how combination i gonna get across

okay great you got here my directions

worked gee i told you

i can't seem to find the new cave what's

the combination fufu

i can't get through the gates yeah the

combination right uh

let me think oh that's right simple

simple you just tickle the lion's tummy

rotate this little thing here until a

lion smile

[Music]

okay now turn this other thing once or

twice to the left

or maybe it's to the right whoa

i gotta go i'm gonna be in the doghouse

if i don't find that new cave

i'll see it sing bad

fufu said to the left i'll try to the

right

that was once here goes twice

no it's locked itself again it'll take

forever to figure this out

i guess i could swim

oh my gosh the water is too cold

too rough i can never swim across that

oh it's no use i can't do this

no that is not an option i've got to

figure this

maybe out another way to get across the

river like that

basket it'll be just like a boat

[Music]

no too far out if i just had a little

bridge i could get into it

maybe if i bend these over i can walk

across them to the basket

yes now i can float across the river

i'm going nowhere

[Music]

so

[Music]

sing bad sing bad sir

how do i get up there piece of moon cake

yeah sure maybe there's another way up

where is baba's opera i'll never be able

to learn that song by tomorrow night if

the music doesn't get here

i need you

sorry to leave you hanging so what are

we going to do

let's see uh just wiggle in through

those spaces in the tiles up there

then scoot up the stairs

maybe there's another way

[Music]

off we go

[Music]

hey watch

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

that was a close one anyway gotta fly

sagua

judging my friend good luck

but i gotta keep moving to the new cave

that is

aha baba meow's kitten you're here

and just in time too i've got to get to

work on this if i'm going to sing it at

your mother's birthday celebration

tomorrow night

now let me see that scroll of your papas

how can i work with this there's no way

i can read this

no way i can learn it hence no way i can

sing it

your parents are going to be very

disappointed

ten new rules it will take a long time

to read them all

but as you wish your magistrate

[Music]

hey my paw doesn't hurt so much anymore

i should go tell everyone the good news

[Music]

what am i saying all this attention is

great

[Music]

oh

by order of his imperial excellency i

hereby decree

that his word shall become law and that

the law of the land

forbids anyone to build a campfire in

the woods

the trees are as dry as kindling at this

time

can you fish in the magistrate's pond

[Music]

good morning donggua i brought you a

ball to play with

so how's the paw today

what's wrong oh i feel

so bad that i won't be able to clean the

clubhouse with you

like we promised mama don't worry

i'll do it by myself no i couldn't ask

you to do that

it's no problem at all really

i just want you to rest and get better

well

all right if you insist

[Music]

there you are well

how did it go were the villagers

captivated by the new rules

it went well but there were a lot of

rules yes and there are a lot more where

they came from

i had another five rules written up

while you were gone my beautiful robe

i need to wear this robe today for my

audience with the visiting dignitary

it must be cleaned immediately

ah i would be happy to clean the rope

for you your magistrate

[Music]

oh my goodness this will take forever

hi shagua i've just heard the most

incredible news

the ship is docking at the pier today

it's supposed to be incredible

you want to come wow that sounds like

fun

oh what's wrong dongwa won't be able to

go see the ship because of his paw

what happened to his paw it's a long

story but it was my fault

hey maybe telling him about the ship

will cheer him up come on

[Music]

hey i'm getting good at this

are you sure he hurt his paw i can't

believe he's been pretending to be hurt

and he's been making me do all this

stuff for him he needs to be taught a

lesson

[Music]

huh

[Music]

it's too bad dungu won't be able to see

the ship this afternoon

i know it's probably going to be the

most exciting thing

ever did you two say something about a

ship

oh yeah a grand ship is talking at the

pier today

it's supposed to be really big colorful

and magnificent

wow you wanted to see me sagua

mama mama can we go see the ship

dongwa your paw it's better oh

ow

are you pretending no my paw did hurt

well at first but when i woke up it

didn't hurt so much anymore it wasn't

nice the way you took advantage

of everyone's concern for you especially

sogwas

yeah well dongwa

you will just have to gather the banana

leaves by yourself

sagua you're excused from that chore

but it'll take forever can i do it after

i see the ship

no you will gather all the leaves before

you do anything else

[Music]

ah just in time

oh no it must be repaired

it was a gift from the dignitary who's

visiting today

hmm

[Music]

making one cat do all this work just

isn't fair

maybe it wasn't fair of me to make saga

clean the whole clubhouse by herself

either i guess that was pretty rotten of

me

it sure was yeah

well i'm sorry okay

[Music]

oh you finished it

did you fill the pot with boiling water

yes

good sit down now

put your feet up and have a cup of tea

with me pardon me

i know you've been working very hard for

me lately

and i want you to know that i appreciate

it

[Music]

ah that must be the dignitary now

what would i do without you

come on i said i was sorry

i shouldn't have pretended i was still

hurt okay

yeah it wasn't nice dongwa

but i'll forgive you this time

so we're going to see the ship if you

want to come i can't i still have to

finish stacking the leaves

okay then bye let's go

[Music]

gotcha we'll help you that'd be great

then i'll ask mama and bob if i can go

it's so amazing look sagua

i really want to thank you i wouldn't

have been able to come see the ship

without you

that's true so if there's ever anything

i can do for you

just name it well i didn't have time to

finish cleaning the clubhouse

but we can both do it tomorrow like we

were supposed to

what well i guess i deserved that

yeah you got that right okay
