Mira, Mira, Mira

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective ♪

MIRA: Mystery in the sky

(MIRA, MIKKU

AND CHIKKU LAUGHING)

Whoo-hoo!

Bop! Mira, you're it!

Oh, Mikku, you got me.

Chikku, I'm coming for you.

Ah! (CHUCKLING)

Ooh! Fake out.

Watch this move.

Chikku, I believe the rules of tag say,

"Trees are fair game!" Sorry, Mira!

(MIRA LAUGHS)

Oh, I can climb higher than you think.

Oh, What's that?

Guys, check it out.

There's something purple in the sky.

Hey, Mira's trying to distract us.

Mira, we're not falling

for your tricks this time.

No, really.

Look, up there. Over those mountains.

BOTH: Where?

What happened to it?

Maybe it went behind the clouds.

I think we need to get higher up

to see it. We should

BOTH: Get snacks?

(LAUGHS) We'll grab snacks

on the way to the clock tower.

MIRA: Come on, we've got

some sky gazing to do.

MIRA: All right. Where is it?

Chikku, you watch the sky,

I'll watch the snacks.

Got it. I watch the snacks.

You watch the sky.

MIRA: There! I see it.

And now it's spinning!

Guys, you have to see this.

-MIKKU: Nope. Nope.

-CHIKKU: Don't see it.

Huh. Why would something purple

keep appearing and disappearing

in the sky?

Why? Oh, why?

We got nothing, Mira.

We may not know why it's out there,

but trust me, we'll find out.

Mikku, Chikku, we're on the case!

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass

Open up your notebook

Get your coat

And badge on fast

Ask all the questions

Follow your senses

Focus on every clue

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after

That's what detectives do

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

Okay, let's start with everything we know

about what I saw.

It's purple. And both times I saw it,

It was up above those mountains.

Uh, Mira, how exactly

are we going to find clues

that are high up in the sky?

We'll have to go up in the sky

ourselves, Mikku.

And I know the perfect person to help us.

One last bolt should do it.

-MIKKU: Prince Neel?

-CHIKKU: Anybody home?

Neel?

-Right here! Ow!

-(WRENCH CLANGING)

Hey, Mira, Mikku, Chikku.

Neel, you're not going to believe this.

I saw the strangest thing.

Something purple moving through the sky.

Why would something purple be in the sky?

That's what I said.

No, that's what I said.

Can you take us up in your Flycycle

for a better look?

(SIGHS) I wish I could,

but my Flycycle is out of service.

Oh, no.

Out of service?

Why? Why?

I had to remove some of the parts

to create a bigger, faster,

sleeker flying machine!

Introducing

The Aerocycle!

-MIRA: Incredible.

-MIKKU: Inspiring.

-CHIKKU: Love it!

-NEEL: Aw, thanks.

Ow.

I'm getting it ready

to show Princess Shivani.

She and her parents are coming

all the way from their kingdom

in the south to visit Jalpur today.

Oh, I can't wait to see her.

Neel, where did you get the idea

for your Aerocycle?

From this big book of flying inventions.

And one day, I'm going to build that!

A hot-air balloon.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Ooh.

-MIRA: Amazing.

What are those bags for?

The ones hanging off the side?

Mira, they're snack bags

Obviously.

Actually, those are sandbags.

They keep the hot-air balloon level

so it flies straight.

Speaking of flying straight

We're ready for takeoff, people!

BOTH: Whoa!

Hang on, guys!

-MIKKU: Quick thinking.

-CHIKKU: Thanks, Mira.

Now, how about a test flight?

MIRA, MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Yeah!

What did I tell you?

It's faster, higher

(ALL YELL)

(VOICE SHAKING) And bumpier.

Sorry, gear shift issues.

So, uh, where did you see

that purple thing?

Over those mountains.

Got it. On our way.

I know it's out there.

Where could it be?

What could it be?

There's a mystery in the sky

What could it be

And how did it get so high

Look out for clues

There's a mystery in the sky

Where did it come from

And why

Those clouds look just like laddoos.

And that one looks like a samosa.

I'll search far and wide

To find the answer

If I had to I would look forever

Find the thing that's purple

Sooner or later

There it is!

BOTH: We don't see it!

Behind that cloud!

There's a mystery in the sky

What could it be

And how did it get so high

The tastiest clues

There's a mystery in the sky

Where did it come from

And why ♪

BOTH: We just see so much food!

MIRA: Look out!

(BIRD SQUAWKING)

It looks like that bird has

something in its mouth.

Come here, little guy.

What do you have there?

Stand back, Mira. We'll get it out.

We're professional bird wranglers.

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU SQUAWKING)

Hey, where are you going?

Wrong way, little buddy.

Let's see if this works.

Come here. (WHISTLES)

That's right. Over here.

(SQUAWKS)

(MIRA WHISTLING)

Beginner's luck.

Can we trade? I'll give you this.

-(BIRD SQUAWKS)

-MIRA: Thank you!

MIKKU: Snack trade!

She's a genius.

It's a piece of cloth.

Cloth? Yuck!

That bird has terrible taste in snacks.

It's the same color as the purple thing

I saw in the sky before.

Maybe it's a clue.

Let's follow that bird

and see if we can find more clues.

You got it, Mira. Hang on tight.

MIRA: He's going in for a landing on top

of that mountain.

Then so are we.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(ALL YELLING)

Soggy samosas!

Now, where did our little friend go?

We'll find him, Mira.

Buddy, where are you?

(SQUAWKING)

Argh! Chikku!

Guys, check this out.

MIRA: Sand.

You usually find sand

at the beach or in a desert.

What's it doing on top of a mountain?

-Good question.

-(MIRA AND NEEL YELL)

Excuse you!

Is it my imagination,

or did sand just fall from that tree?

Definitely not your imagination.

How rude, tree!

Things just keep getting stranger.

Mikku, Chikku, can you climb that tree

and see where the sand is coming from?

BOTH: You got it, Mira.

Oh, look, it's our friend.

Hey, buddy.

Mira, We found the bird.

Great! Any clues?

Yeah. He's got more of that yucky food.

Chikku, it's not food.

It's the purple cloth!

Guys, can you get it for me?

I'll handle this.

Excuse me, little birdie.

We are on official

Royal Detective business.

Hand over that bag, please.

(SQUAWKING)

Chikku, he's not handing over the bag.

Step aside, Mikku.

I'll show you how it's done.

This calls for a dance off, people.

All right, buddy, show me what you got.

(CLASSICAL INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)

Nice.

Nice job, Chikku.

I dance to win.

So the sand must have

come out of this ripped bag.

I found another bag.

Here you go, Prince Neel.

Mira, this one is filled with sand, too.

They're sandbags!

Wait. We saw sandbags

just like these earlier today.

Let's think this through.

Remember Neel's book of flying inventions?

There were sandbags on the picture

of the hot-air balloon.

What if the purple thing I saw in the sky

is a hot-air balloon with sandbags on it?

Mira, if it is a hot-air balloon,

whoever's riding it may be in trouble.

Yeah, if it's missing two sandbags.

Then it won't be able to fly straight.

We've got to find it. Fast.

We need to go higher up above the clouds.

Everybody hop into the Aerocycle.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

Do you see it?

Yes! Over there!

Mira, You were right!

It is a hot-air balloon.

Yep, just like I told you.

-MIRA: Can you get closer, Neel?

-NEEL: I'm on it.

MIRA: That's Princess Shivani

and her family from the Southern Kingdom.

Wow, I didn't know they were coming

by hot-air balloon.

Prince Neel, Mira, Mikku, Chikku!

Princess Shivani! Your Royal Highnesses!

Is everyone okay?

We're all fine!

It's been quite an adventure.

We wanted to surprise you

in our new hot-air balloon.

But not quite like this.

Your Majesties,

did you lose these sandbags?

Yes! They fell off the basket

when we grazed a tree.

Everyone, hold on.

We'll tow you in

(KING, QUEEN AND SHIVANI EXCLAIMING)

Neel, we're losing them!

The wind is really strong,

but I've got one last trick.

Super speed, go!

ALL: Whoa!

MIRA: It's working,

we're catching up to them.

We're almost there, your majesties.

-MIRA: Yes!

-(ALL CHEERING)

We need to keep the hot-air balloon

steady somehow.

Mira

BOTH: We got this!

Our snack bags are about the same

size and weight as the sandbags,

so we can tie them to the side

of the balloon's basket to keep it steady.

Just like sandbags.

Giving up your snacks? That's noble, guys.

Put us on a coin, people.

Ready?

We were born to zip!

MIKKU: Whoo-hoo!

BOTH: Your Royal Highnesses.

That was quite a feat.

Mikku, Chikku, get into position.

Your majesties, please stand back.

We will now tie these snack bags

onto the sides of this hot-air balloon.

They'll take the place of the sandbags.

Brilliant idea!

Wonderful!

Let's do this, people!

MIKKU: All right. Snacks are in position.

Oh! It's steady now!

-Wonderful!

-Thank you!

Next stop, Jalpur.

QUEEN SHANTI: Welcome to our kingdom,

dear friends.

We are delighted to be here, Queen Shanti.

Mira, I wanna commend you

for trusting your instincts.

And for searching

for what you saw in the sky.

If you hadn't, we might still be

spinning around up there.

Well, it's thanks to Neel's

amazing Aerocycle invention

that we were able to reach you.

And it's thanks to Mikku and Chikku

that we were able to land.

Great work, guys!

-(MUNCHING)

-Guys?

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU MUNCHING)

Ah. We definitely earned these snacks.

Oh, yeah! Mm-hmm.

Hey, what does this rope do?

Why are we moving?

I'll get the Aerocycle.

I've got my Grapple Grabber.

MIKKU: Nice view.

CHIKKU: Hey, I can see

the palace from here.

You know, Neel looks a little upset.

MIRA: The case of the message in a bottle.

Guys, I love this look for you.

Mira, If we're going for a boat ride

We need to be prepared for anything.

-(HORN HONKING)

-Look out, boat coming through!

It appears that the brakes

are malfunctioning.

That's because they are!

-MANJEET: Mud puddle!

-ALL: Whoa!

MANJEET AND RANJEET: Whoa!

(SPLATTERING)

Well, that is one way to stop.

Hi, Ranjeet. Hi, Manjeet.

Need a handkerchief?

Thanks, Mira.

-MIKKU: Nice boat.

-MANJEET: Thanks.

Towing it is hard work. (SLURPING)

And there's a lot more to do.

Good luck, guys.

Come on. Prince Neel is waiting for us.

-MIRA: Hi, Neel.

-NEEL: Hi, guys.

What do you think

of my new Aqua Rickshaw?

I think it looks exactly

like your old Aqua Rickshaw.

What? That's ridiculous.

All right. It does look like the old one,

but you haven't seen the new feature.

Is that a rubber band?

Actually, Chikku, I call it

The Maximum Mega Motor.

What does it do?

I use it to spin this propeller

and turn my Aqua Rickshaw

into the fastest water vessel

in all of Jalpur.

(MOTOR CRANKING)

Come on, I'll show you.

MIRA: Okay.

CHIKKU: Yeah!

Everyone all buckled up?

MIRA, MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Yep.

Full speed ahead!

(ALL SCREAMING)

Soggy samosas.

Okay, it might need a bit of fine tuning.

We can help.

There we go. All set.

The propeller's back in place.

Excellent. Good as new.

Check it out. I found

a great raft to float on.

Make room for me! Yup-up-up-up!

-MIKKU: Oh!

-(WATER SPLASHING)

Guys, your raft is a bottle.

Can you paddle it over here?

Uh, Mira, I think you might be

too big for our raft.

(LAUGHS) I don't want to float on it.

It looks like there's

something inside of it

BOTH: Oh.

Check it out.

-There's a note.

-What does it say?

"Come visit my island. If you can figure

out the clues and find it,

"then I will share my treasure with you.

"Signed, your friendly

neighborhood Island King"

Treasure? I like the sound of that.

I wonder if it's gold or diamonds!

Or better yet, a new raft.

Let's find that island.

We are on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass

Open up your notebook

We're on the case ♪

The note says, "To find the island,

"we need to figure out the clues."

Where do we find clues?

Maybe there are some in the bottle.

There's some sand,

and that looks like some kind of seashell.

And this sand is pink.

You don't see that every day.

There's a cluster of islands down river

called "The Pink Sand Islands."

I wonder if the sand came from there.

We should definitely go look.

Neel, is your Aqua Rickshaw fixed?

Fixed and ready for smooth sailing.

(MOTOR RUNNING)

ALL: Whoa!

ALL: Whoa!

ALL: Whoa!

ALL: Whoa!

Here's the island.

Prince Neel, I think we have

very different definitions

of smooth sailing. (SPITS)

Oh, I've never been so happy

to be standing on dry land.

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

I guess I have more work to do

on the controls.

Sounds good, Neel. We'll go look around.

We are here, o' king.

We're busy mongooses,

so let's see that treasure, huh?

King! We're here!

We have four paws and a boat ready

to fill up with

Treasure?

Mira. I don't think anyone is here.

You're right, but it looks like

somebody was here.

Check it out. Footprints.

And there's another one

of those seashells.

Maybe it's another clue

from the Island King.

But there's no castle.

Not even a sand castle.

Ooh. We can fix that.

(COUGHING) Guys. Guys!

-MIKKU: Whoopsies.

-CHIKKU: Sorry, Mira.

More shells! I think they make

some kind of shape.

But what?

-MIKKU: A bike!

-CHIKKU: A raft!

-MIKKU: A leaf!

-CHIKKU: A basket!

I think it actually looks like an arrow.

-CHIKKU: Like I said.

-MIKKU: Definitely an arrow.

The arrow seems to point to

to another island with pink sand!

Maybe the Island King

wants us to go there.

Good news. I fixed the problem.

Time for the Even More Hyped-Up

Maximum Mega-Motorized Aqua Rickshaw.

Perfect timing.

Can you take us to the island

across the way?

Sure! Hop in.

(ALL SCREAMING)

I, uh

Have more work to do

on your Aqua Rickshaw?

Yeah. Sorry.

(LAUGHS)

Looks like you two are

maximum mega mongooses.

BOTH: You look funny.

BOTH: What are you laughing at?

Okay, this is the island

the arrow was pointing to.

Looks pretty empty to me.

But there are more white sea shells.

It looks like they make a trail

that goes into the jungle.

A jungle is an excellent place

for a king.

And for a treasure!

You guys go ahead.

I'm going to fix my Aqua Rickshaw.

This time for sure.

You got this, Neel.

Hey, guys, wait for me.

There are the shells.

They keep going this way.

The trail turns left.

-MIRA: Oh, watch out for

-MIKKU: Ow!

That big rock? I found it.

Okay. It looks like

the trail turns left again.

And we're

right back where we started.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: What?

What is going on?

Did you find the king?

No. And I think the king

is messing with us.

All of this looking for treasure

is making me very tired and very hungry.

(BOTH SNIFFING)

I'm so hungry,

I could even eat these shells.

They do smell good enough to eat.

You're right, Mikku. They do.

Because they're not seashells.

They're coconut shells!

We have a snack, people!

Mira, let's face it.

We're never going to find

the island king, are we?

A good detective never gives up.

Let's think this through.

MIRA: We found lots of shells today.

But it turns out they're not seashells,

they're coconut shells.

The shells led us to this island.

But there aren't any coconuts on it.

So maybe the king is on an island

that does have coconuts on it.

But where?

Yeah, there are no coconut trees

on this island.

Or the last island.

MIRA: Hmm.

But that island has coconut trees.

-MIKKU: All right!

-CHIKKU: Hooray!

Yes!

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

You know, I think we're gonna swim.

MIKKU: Dive!

Whoa!

(MIRA AND NEEL SCREAMING)

What took you so long?

Yeah, Seriously.

(MIRA LAUGHS)

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Coconuts ahoy!

Wait a second.

I hear something over there.

There's someone shaking that tree.

BOTH: The king!

Greetings, oh, Island King!

We bow to your magnificence.

Prince Neel! Mira! Mikku! Chikku!

I can't believe you figured it out!

BOTH: Manjeet?

You're the king?

I did not see that coming.

Actually, I'm the king.

This whole game was my idea.

No, Ranjeet, it was my idea.

I'm the king. Look, I've got the crown.

I've got a crown, too.

So, you two put the note in the bottle

as part of your game?

Yep. And then we tossed the bottle

in the water

and hoped someone would pick it up.

Which you did, Mira. Well done.

If you're the king,

who lives in your kingdom?

Behold! My subject.

Pleasure to meet you.

Then where's the treasure?

All I see is a bunch of coconuts.

That is the treasure.

It's a treasure trove of coconuts.

BOTH: Oh!

Yeah, coconuts are great.

They're delicious to eat.

They're refreshing to drink.

BOTH: And they're good for you.

You can have as many

as you can carry.

BOTH: Challenge accepted!

Uh, where's our boat?

Is that it? Drifting away?

We forgot to tie it up!

We can't lose our boat!

Don't worry!

I can catch it with my Aqua Rickshaw!

Can we worry now?

I have another idea.

I can use a coconut

tie my rubber band around it and

(GRUNTS)

-Gotcha!

-(ALL CHEERING)

Uh-oh! The current is too strong!

Hang on, Neel!

Hold tight, everyone.

I think we've got it.

But now it's coming for us!

MIRA: Everybody, look out!

(CHEERING)

MIRA: Phew.

Thanks for saving our boat, Prince Neel.

Happy to help.

Come on, everybody. Let's head home.

BOTH: By Aqua Rickshaw?

Come on, mega-motor.

NEEL: Yes! It's working!

(ALL CHEERING)

I knew you could do it, Neel.

Farewell, coconut island.

Until next time.

Don't be too sad.

We brought someone to keep you company.

Ta-da!

My loyal coconut.

No, no, no. My loyal coconut.

-I'm the king.

-No, I'm the king.

RANJEET: No, no, no.

MANJEET: Hey, we agreed

I would be the king.

RANJEET: No, we agreed

I would be the king.

Please call me "your highness."
