Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!
Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!

Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!
Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!

Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!
Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!

Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!
Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!

Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!
Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock!

Each day's a party
If you haven't noticed

Confetti flying every single moment

That's why we splash and swim
And clap our feet

'Cause when you're a Fraggle...

A party's just the thing you need

Don't wanna miss
This special celebration

For Matt the traveler
From Outer Space then

-A party for some pants
-Whoopee and then we'll dance

So bring your radish hat, yeah!

Hey! Okay, it's a party down
At Fraggle Rock

Today, okay

And everyone's invited to the
Most perfect kinda day

At least since yesterday

Hey! Okay, it's a party down
At Fraggle Rock today

I'm always twirling, diving
Let's get going

I always keep it Zen
Stay in the moment

I'm an adventurer, I lead the crowd

I'd rather do laundry.

I love my friends
I'll say it loud

Hey! Okay, it's a party down
At Fraggle Rock

Today, okay

And everyone's invited to the
Most perfect kinda day

At least since yesterday

Hey! Okay, it's a party down
At Fraggle Rock today

Let's party down today

Let's party down today

Hey! Okay, it's a party down
At Fraggle Rock today

I like that song.

This is some send-off
for my Uncle Travelling Matt.

-Yeah.
-An old-fashioned ska-doo.

What's that word, Gobo? I like it.

-I like it too.
-Ska-doo?

Well, it's like...

My understanding is
it's like a word for big party.

-No, it's not.
-Ska-doo!

Not a word.

-Ska-diddle-diddle-doo!
-Still not a word.

Well, either way,

my Uncle Matt's gotta get back
to exploring Outer Space.

Hey, check it out.

I drew him a picture of the two of us
as a going-away present.

Is there anything you can't do?

Well...

Hey, do you like
this streamer or this one?

I feel like this one, it has oomph.

-And boomph.
-Yeah.

-But the short one is playful and cute.
-Yeah.

But the long one is nice and silly.

Short one?

-Long one?
-Yeah.

-Short one? Long one? Short one? Long one?
-He's wembling.

Quick, turn him upside down.

Hey, Wembley.

Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
Deep breath in.

The light, the sound, the feeling.

And deep breath out.

-The space, the void, rebirth.
-Yeah.

-Better? Okay.
-Yeah! Thanks, Mokey.

There you go.

-Feel better, buddy? Yeah, sure.
-Thanks, I needed that.

Since your uncle has decided

to foolishly return to Outer Space
and certain peril,

I've made him an emergency kit.

If he gets a smudge, blue bottle.
If he gets a smear, orange bottle.

If he gets a stain that sets,

yellow bottle
and a quick yah with the brush.

So it's more of a laundry kit?

Well, can't bogged down with semantics.

Hey, friendos!

I'm gonna knock Matt's socks off

with the most splat-defying slide and dive
the Rock has ever seen.

Yeah!

There's a twist.

A tuck.

A flip.

-And a flup!
-That sounds so cool, Red.

-What a great ska-doo.
-Yeah.

Still not a word.

What's that?

Uncle Matt!

Yes, it is me. Good job recognizing me,
young nephew Gobo.

Who put that rock there?

You did, sir.

Well, then it's perfectly placed.
Thank you, Pogey.

Hey, Gobo's Uncle Matt.
Ready for the most stunt-rific dive ever?

Absolutely.
You have my undivided attention, Red.

Okay, here we go.

-Three...
-Gobo.

-Two...
-Walk with me.

-One...
-Come along.

You see, Gobo, there's
a few things I haven't told you.

But I... It's okay.

I was excited to dive, but hey, I'll wait.

Look at us, walking and talking.

Some Fraggles walk. Other Fraggles talk.

Me? I do both. Well...

I'm all right.

-Gobo. I want to show you something.
-Okay.

Get ready,
because your mind is going to be...

...impressed.

Behold!

-Amazing.
-Yes.

It kinda looks like a hole,
but I'm gonna assume it's more than that

-based on the way you set it up.
-Correct.

This, young Gobo,
is the portal to Outer Space.

What?

So this is Outer Space?

Gobo.

Look at me. Look right at me.

-Well, I feel like I am.
-Look at me.

-Look right into my eyes, directly.
-I'm looking literally at you.

This is serious, Gobo.
Show me you're paying attention.

I don't know what else I can do.

Boop noses with me.

'Kay.

Boop.

Gobo, come with me to Outer Space.

Wh... You're joking!

Well, I'm an explorer, Gobo,
not some kind of goofbug.

So, what do you say?

Well, I say you'll never meet
a Fraggle who's more hardworking,

or loyal, or brave...

I guess Outer Space
can be a scary place.

That rhymes.

Hey, Sprocket.

Sprocket, what is it?

A giant hole right in the middle
of the wall.

Landlord did not bother
to cover that up.

But that's okay. That's what I get
on a grad student budget.

Big things are gonna happen here.

I can feel it.

Someday there's gonna be
a plaque on this back house that says,

"Here's where Doc worked for her doctorate
in marine ecosystems and saved the ocean,

earning her the nickname 'Doctor Doc.'"

Yeah, we can work on that.

We have time.

You thirsty, buddy?

Just some move-in hiccups.

Janky pipes, giant hole,
vague boat smell.

Easy, big bud.

I'm sure there's nothing too exciting
happening on the other side of that wall.

This is so exciting!

I have to do my dive!

I think Matt would rather I just gave
the people what they want. Yeah!

Who's ready?

I am, Red.

Hi, Red!

I've said hi a lot of times
to you today, Pogey, but, hi again.

-Hi!
-Okay!

Silence, please.

-Everyone be quiet.
-Full concentration.

Body is a machine.

I know it!

Three, two, one...

Outer Space!

Portal, scary, hairy, monster!

No!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Sorry about your...
your buildings, Doozers.

We got a class-5 belly flop here.

Class-5 belly flop.

Class-5 belly flop.

Class-5 belly flop.

Class-5 belly flop.

Class-5 belly flop.

Class-5 belly flop.

A C-5BF. That is serious.

What do you think, Cotterpin?

Well, sir, we could work extra hard
and rebuild the whole thing.

Work extra hard
and rebuild the whole thing.

-Yes!
-Yes!

Work extra hard
and rebuild the whole thing.

Work extra hard
and rebuild the whole thing.

Work next to Carl
and refill the bowl king?

Work next to Carl
and refill the bowl king.

Who's Carl?

-Gobo.
-What?

You better have a good excuse
for ruining my dive.

A giant space beast tried to eat me.

Okay, that's a good excuse.

-Yeah.
-There you are.

Gobo, you're the finest nephew
an iconic uncle could possibly have.

-Well...
-However,

after seeing your reaction to Outer Space,

I realized it's not for everyone.

What?

I, of course, am unique in my ability
to handle it, so I'll go alone.

Just me and my boots, yes.

Thank you, madam.

And you may have also noticed
I'm not even wearing my...

...trusty explorer's backpack.

What happened to your backpack, Matt?

A great question from the crowd.

Why, the other day,

I was exploring the fabulously dangerous
Crevice of Solitude.

An ordinary Fraggle
would have been terrified, but not me.

I simply was having the time of my life.

Unfortunately, in all the fun,
I got separated from my backpack.

So I made a calculated explorer's decision

to move on without it
and calmly exited the crevice.

I'd go back and retrieve it,
but you know what they say,

an explorer never goes back.

Who says that?

Why, nearly everyone, Red.

Now, if you'll excuse me, young Gobo,

I need to prepare to go
to Outer Space alone.

-Madam.
-But, Uncle Ma...

Here he is.

Are you okay, Gobo?

Yeah. I just can't believe
I freaked out in front of Uncle Matt.

I know I'm brave.

I just had a passing moment
of being scared.

In my defense, I was encountering

the most ferocious creature
in the known universe.

Who's my peanut butter biscuit boy?

I just wish there was

a way to prove to my uncle
I actually am adventurer material.

Well, you could always go
to the fabulously dangerous

Crevice of Solitude
and get his backpack back.

That would prove it.

Easy and fun.

Red! That's brilliant!

That's what I'll do.

Then he'll have to see me
as a brave adventurer.

No. Wait. I was joking.

-Not a real suggestion.
-No, it's...

The Crevice of Solitude
is really dangerous.

-Yeah.
-Knock it off! You're not going!

No. Gobo go-go.

Now, how many fancy hats
should I bring?

-What are we...
-Guys, guys.

-Back here. Come here, come here.
-Okay.

Okay, we're gonna have to convince Gobo
to let us come with him.

He's determined to prove
to his uncle how brave he is,

so we're gonna have to be sneaky.

-Okay.
-Follow my lead.

Okay.

I meant my example.

Hey, Gobe, we're back!

Back from where?
You were just whispering over there.

So, wouldn't it be extra brave

if you led less brave explorers like us
to the Crevice?

Your uncle would think
you're double brave.

-Triple.
-Possibly quadruple-duple.

Not a word.

You know what? You're right.
Yeah, that's the bravest thing I could do.

All right, everyone.

Off we Go-bo.

Little trail humor.
Little snack for the road. Okay, let's go!

-Yeah.
-Here we go!

Off on our brave adventure.

-Our journey begins in the Gorgs' garden.
-Yeah!

Just so I got this right, guys.
We are talking about the Gorgs,

as in the giants
who are trying to squash us?

We're all right with that?

Let's go!

-Yeah!
-Yeah. Okay.

Okay. You're all very casual about this.

Why don't the Gorgs like Fraggles?

Fraggles are the best.

Fraggles are the worst.

No such thing
as a good Fraggle. Unacceptable.

They steal all of our radishes.

You know what I say, see a Fraggle,

-thump a Fraggle.
-Thump a Fraggle.

Junior!

Thump them Fraggles!

Watch for Fraggles
And don't get distracted

Watch for...

A flutterfly.

Hey. Where you goin'? Come here.

Okay, come on, let's go.

I wanna be your friend.

There you go. Where you going?
Come back here!

Okay, now's our chance.

Now, I'll lead the way,
because I'm the leader.

Careful, Gobo.

Those leaves look loud and crunchy.

Thanks, Red.

I appreciate you.
But I am the leader, so...

-Oh, boy.
-Fraggles.

-Yeah, Fraggles!
-Run!

Wembley!

I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you all.

Yeah.

Be the noodle.

-Where did you go?
-Follow me.

-Follow me. Let's go!
-What happened to you, Fraggle?

No, no, no!

No, no!

Flutterfly, you're back.

-Up here! Come up here!
-Go, go!

Look out! Look out! Look out!

What is this, some kind of dump?

I beg your pardon,
not just any kind of dump.

You are in the presence of...

The all-knowing...

Trash Heap!

-Thank you, boys.
-Sure thing.

Humbled to be in your presence,
Your Trashiness.

Did you say humbled or hungry?

Because if you're hungry,
the boys will share their trash cheese.

Come on, Marjory!

Yeah, I'm keeping
the moldy parts for myself.

-Take some cheese. Go ahead.
-No, thank you.

-It's good. You look hungry.
-I just ate.

I had a radish on the way here. I'm good.

-I'll try some. Yeah.
-All right, here you go.

Thank you, sir.

You know, it's...
I'll just save it for later.

Yeah. Madam Trash Heap,
what an honor.

I mean, you are a remarkable, wise being,

and I'm gonna savor
every moment I get with you.

-Well, gotta go.
-What's the hurry?

-You got a soup on the stove?
-I wish.

Well, I need to bravely lead
my friends to the Crevice of Solitude.

The Crevice?

-Yeah. He is leading us bravely.
-Yeah.

-Dangerous.
-Spooky.

-Scary.
-Mildewy.

I know. Right? I gotta go there to get
my Uncle Travelling Matt's backpack,

so I can prove I'm a brave explorer.

She's thinking.

I'm so sorry. It's very dry.

I feel like a fire hazard.

Let me ask you,
why do you want to explore?

Well...
'Cause, you know, to be brave.

So, you wanna prove
you're brave enough to explore,

so that you can explore to be brave?

Well, yeah!

You know what I think?

I think you need to dig deeper.

The Trash Heap has spoken!

That was powerful. Dig deeper.

-Let's all just breathe.
-Well, long trip ahead. Let's go.

And just reflect on what we just heard...
Okay.

Heading down the road
I'm going round and round

Walking through the light
And through the free and easy land

Come on, everybody. Let's go!

All I want to know
Is how the world goes round

All I want to be is a traveling
Be a wandering man

Well, you go one way
See it's some kinda fun way

Start exploring the two-way
Wow, it's just like a thruway

When you get to the three-way
Can't be sure it's a freeway

Got to find me the true way
That's the only way home

Wembley!

Well, you go one way
See it's some kinda fun way

Start exploring the two-way
Wow, it's just like a thruway

When you get to the three-way
Can't be sure it's a freeway

Got to find me the true way
That's the only way home

Hey, Gobo, I think we're here.

Hey, you know these guys?

Let's see.

This is it!

The Crevice.

You did it, buddy!

Gobo! Gobo! Gobo...

Nobody wants to chant?
Let me know if that changes.

Look! Uncle Matt's backpack,
on that barely balanced rock.

"Barely balanced rock."
This is it!

Be careful! It could tip this way.

Or that way. Or the other way.
Or the other, other way!

There it is.

Almost there.

-Steady.
-Almost got it.

-I'm okay.
-Wait!

-No.
-No!

No! Look out below!

I live for new experiences,
but not this one!

I've got you, Gobo!

This day just keeps getting worse,

which I respect.

Well, it's honest.

Why did I just grab it like that?

Now I got us stuck, maybe forever.

Or longer.

Everyone just wanted to help,

but I've been too busy trying to prove
I'm a brave explorer to listen.

Maybe the Trash Heap was right.
Maybe I do need to dig deeper.

Yes, deeper!

Start with your breath.

Connect to it,
follow it down to the source within.

Yeah, but,
maybe she also meant literally dig deeper.

Hey, hey,
I think there's something behind here.

Come on, Wembley. Look at this here.

I think I hear something.
Come here. Come on. Come on.

-A little bit more.
-I don't like this.

Is that...

-Water!
-Water!

Make it stop!

I am the water, and the water is me.

Wembley!

Make it stop!

-We're home!
-Oh, my goodness.

Wh... Wh... Where's Red?

There's a twist, a tuck, a flip,

and a flup!

Red!

Look at all this new water!

Yeah!

Water, water, yeah!

The garden!
Let's see the garden!

Yes, yes, yes!
More water for the garden!

More water means more radishes!

Look at all this water.

The power has doubled
and tripled and bippled!

Cotterpin, you know what this means?

More power means there's no limit
to what we can build!

What a historic moment!

Everyone, four-second celebration.

-All right, that's enough. Back to work.
-Back to work.

-Back to work.
-Thank you.

Yes.
You think it was too long?

Not at all, sir.

-What fun.
-That was exhausting.

Okay, okay!

Okay!

Okay.

So this place had some first day kinks.

But I think it's smooth sailing
from here on out.

Still thirsty?

Okay. Yeah.

I think we're gonna settle in
just fine here.

You are wise. You are admired.
You are cute.

-You are courageous.
-Uncle Matt.

Mommy! Mommy!

It's you, young Gobo and friends.

I was just stretching.

-What can I do for you?
-We came to give you this.

What? You... You found it?

Gobo, I am impressed.

The Crevice of Solitude
is not for amateurs.

Perhaps I was too hasty
uninviting you to Outer Space.

What do you say? Come with?

Well... Wh...

You know, I wanted to prove to you
I was a brave explorer.

But exploring isn't
about proving something.

It's about being open to discovering
new things that can help others.

And I never would have figured that out
without my friends.

So, I'm sorry, Uncle Matt.

I cannot come with you to Outer Space.

I have too much exploring
to do here with them, together.

Cool.

Hey! If you're staying here anyway,
here's an idea.

I'll send artifacts back from Outer Space
to this portal for you to retrieve.

-Think you can do that?
-Well, no.

I can't do it.

But we can do it.

Why, after what we went through today,
we can handle whatever's out there.

A little help, please!

Somebody other than me do something!

Eat trash cheese, space beast!

You know what, Gobo?

That was... that was so nice
what you said about doing it together.

Yeah.

But you should be
the one to get Matt's packages.

-Definitely.
-Yeah, he's your uncle.

Yeah, and you're his nephew.
That's a special relationship, right?

Yeah.

Well, all right.
Well, safe travels, Uncle Matt.

Farewell, Gobo.

Boop noses?

Today, it was like, we had no idea
there was water behind the Crevice,

or that it flowed through the tunnels,
back to the Great Hall.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Doesn't it make you wonder
what else is out there?

What else is connected?

Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day

Let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock

Work your cares away
Dancing's for another day

Let the Fraggles play

-We're Gobo.
-Mokey.

-Wembley.
-Boober.

Red!

Junior!

Hello!

Aw, my radish.

Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day

Let the music play

Down at Fraggle Rock

Down at Fraggle Rock.
