♪

Now hold still, little friend.

It's very important that we
change this bandage every day.

- Okay, we change this every day.
- What were ya starin' at, Melman?

Did Kate leave a
cooking show on again?

Even better! Look!

- There you go, Ivy!
- Good as new.

As long as we remember to do
this, you'll be better in no time!

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good morning, Gloria!

Hey there, Melman!

[ Sighing ]

- Nothing like a hug from Kate.
- She's got the magic touch!

Looks like you have a bit
of the magic touch yourself.

This? Nah, I just
copy what Kate does.

She taught me everything I know
about taking care of animals.

[ Screaming ]

[ Moaning ]

[ Gasping ]

Are you okay, Pickles?
That looked painful.

Should I get Kate?
I should get Kate.

[ laughing ]

A slipping disaster
is no laughing matter.

- I'm okay, Melman.
- I slipped on purpose!

- An on-purpose slipping disaster?
- But why?

[ Dave chatters ]

- Because it's hilarious!
- And that was my best slip yet.

Until this!

- Uh! Uh...
- Huh?

Practice makes perfect!

Woah! Snow!

CARLOS: Wakey wakey, everyone!

[ Yawning ]

Carlos?

That's funny, he's never
woken us up before.

Yeah, where's Kate?

- That's what I wanna know!
- Kate's never late.

[ Yawning ]

[ phone ringing ]

Please be Kate, please be Kate.

- Um, Carlos?
- My bus is stuck in the snow.

- I knew something was up.
- You're never late!

It sounds like Kate. Come on!

KATE: Any visitors show up yet?

None! The front
gate's snowed in too!

- Aww, guess we won't be opening today.
- Don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

Aren't you tired from working
the late shift all night?

[ Yawning ]

- I'm alright.
- Anything for the animals!

- Aww, thanks, Carlos.
- You're the best!

Have you gone through
everyone's morning routine?

- I think so?
- Wait, what?

I mean, yes!

And you sang the Morning Song?

Sure did! Every single
word that I remembered.

- So, when do you think you'll get here?
- KATE: Uh, well...

I'll only be a little late.

CARLOS: Copy that.

What the...

Everyone'll be fed, and
flourishing when you get here!

Be there as soon as I can!

[ Sighing ]

- What am I gonna do...
- KATE: Carlos?

Oh! With all this
beautiful snow!

I guess I'll just
sing some more!

♪ La dee dah ♪♪

Huh?

CARLOS: See you soon!

[ Yawning ]

Get it together, man!

Do the flamingos get four
cups of algae once a day?

Or one cup of algae
four times a day?

Can you believe it?

That Carlos is that bad
at the Morning Song?

Nope. I mean, not everyone's
a born performer, but

Not that! Did you see him?

He worked the night shift
and hasn't slept in hours!

He's in no condition to take care
of all the animals by himself.

- Don't sweat it, Melman!
- Kate'll be back soon.

And until then, we get
to play in all this snow!

- That's right!
- A break in business as usual.

And extra time for winter fun.

Pretty sure this is what's
called a "Snow Day".

I like the sound of that!

- Well, I don't!
- Who will keep all the animals safe?

Who else knows our routines?

- That's what Carlos is here for!
- He already sang the Good Morning Song.

You mean the doodileedoo song?

If Kate were here, she'd
get all the words right.

Then, she'd wash my
ossicones, once clockwise,

then twice the opposite way!

She'd warm the bath to
the perfect temperature

so it stays warm for the
exact amount of time.

It takes to trim Alex's
claws, brush Marty's mane,

and give Gloria a
morning massage!

And she'd always make
just enough bubbles!

Who else knows how
to do all that?

Uh, Melman?

It sort of sounds like you
know how to do all that.

- Huh?
- Maybe you should sing

the Good Morning Song.

Get us started on
the right hooves.

And paws.

- You'd be doing us a favor.
- Carlos' version still haunts me.

I guess I could try to
do it like Kate does.

Okay, everybody, back in bed!

You even got my way-back teeth!

- Wow!
- Wow!

Love my manicure!

Now these claws are
ready to dig some snow!

- That bath was the perfect temperature.
- I'm warmed from the inside out!

It was like the
real Kate was here.

I learned it all from her.

CARLOS: Oh, come on, Bill!

[ Big crash ]

Sounds like Carlos needs backup.

Too bad you couldn't "be the Kate"
for all the animals. Like Ivy!

I have watched Kate change Ivy's
bandage every day this week.

Hey, maybe I can!

Ya lost me, bud.

I do know Kate's whole routine.

If Kate's not here to be the
Kate, then I'll be the Kate!

- Ooh, ooh! Can I still be the Gloria?
- I'm kind of partial to her.

And I wanna be the
frozen snowcat of dooom!

And I'll be Snow Day Marty!

How's that different
from regular day Marty?

If Melman's in charge of
keeping everything in order,

that means I get to have
some off-duty winter fun!

That's right!

I'll take care of
everyone like Kate would,

and when she gets back,

everything will be just
the way she left it!

PICKLES: Cannonball!

[ laughing ]

[ Giggling ]

It'll be almost how she left it.

♪

Hiya, Melman! I didn't know you
were on breakfast duty today!

I'm doing Kate's daily tasks,
just until she gets back.

Hmm, extra crunchy,
just how I like it!

And, hey

you arranged it into sea lion
shapes, just like Kate does!

How'd you know?

- I paid attention.
- Substitute Kate at your service!

[ laughing ]

Best start to the day ever!

Yeah, thanks, Melman!

Now I feel extra warmed up
for some high-speed sledding!

Not too high-speed,

you don't wanna end up
with a Snow Day boo-boo!

Incoming!

Hey, kids! I've got an
emergency word from the brrr-d.

- Oh, no! Did you say emergency?
- It's okay. Kate's almost back.

Whatever it is, I'm sure
she'll make it better.

- That's the thing, Stretch.
- Kate's not gettin' back anytime soon!

What!

So, I was flying around

looking for a hot chocolate place that
doesn't skimp on the marshmallows,

when I see our Kate
stuck on a bus!

Then, I hear from Gino and Gina that
it hasn't moved an inch in hours!

Oh, no!

Don't tell me we have to listen
to Carlos sing the Evening Song?

Melman's been a great
substitute Kate all morning.

We'll be fine!

- And Melman's not alone.
- Carlos is still technically in charge.

Yeah, about that...

Carlos is, uh

little busy with Bill.

That bird does not
deal well with snow!

- Ah! Whoa! Very uncool, Bill!
- Kate said you need your beak cleaned,

so you're gonna get
your beak cleaned!

The point is, Kate's not
gettin' back anytime soon!

Being substitute-Kate for
a morning is one thing,

but being substitute-Kate
for the whole day?

How am I gonna do that?

Just keep doing what
you've been doing!

You did a bit, now you just need
to do a bit... a whole lot more!

You're right! I've been a pretty
good substitute Kate this far.

How hard could it
be to do it all day?

Snow party in 'A Little Wild'!

- Yeah!
- Woohoohoo!

Woohoo!

- Happy Snow Day, everyone!
- No tolls, today only!

ANT'NEY: Uh, oh! While sleepy Carlos
is gettin' attitude from a flamingo,

the rest of the
zoo's goin' wild!

A lotta wild!

We have to make sure
they don't get too wild!

Be careful, everyone!

Slow down!

[ Everybody laughing ]

They aren't even listening! Bet
they'd listen to the real Kate.

- Maybe try using your outside voice.
- Everyone slow down!

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ laughing ]

This must be what they call the
"substitute teacher effect".

- What's that?
- When the Kate's away,

the hedgehogs, sea lions, chimps,
okapis, and bats will play!

At least I think that's
how the saying goes.

[ laughing ]

- What are they building over there?
- Looks like a brachiosaurus!

Let's help!

That does sound like fun.

But I have work to do. I
gotta keep everyone safe.

There's no breaks when
you're the substitute Kate!

[ Ronathan moans ]

See? Someone needs
help! I'm on my way!

[ Moaning ]

What happened? And
how can I help?

Well, I was slippin' and
slidin' and next thing I knew,

I landed funny and
I got a boo-boo!

A boo-boo?

Come on, I know where Kate
keeps her first aid kit.

Thanks, Melman, I should've
known you'd know what to do.

I'll fix you right up,
just like Kate would!

♪ Yoo-hoo, little booboo ♪

♪ It's been nice to know you ♪

♪ But it's time to
say toodlie-oo ♪♪

You'll be better in no time!

- You're the best Kate I've ever met!
- Other than the real one, that is.

Thanks, but I don't
have Kate's magic touch.

I'm just doing my best to fill
in. Now, stay safe out there.

One bandage for Ivy...

[ laughing ]

And the rest of the first
aid kit, just in case.

DRIVER: Thanks for
your patience, folks.

Soon as the snow plow
gets here to dig us out,

we'll all be on our way!

Whew, thank Goodness.

DRIVER: Shouldn't be
more than a few hours.

- A few hours?
- I can't wait that long! Scuse me...

MAN: Hey! KATE: Pardon me!

WOMAN: Ouch! MAN:
That was my foot!

Aw, that snow looks
pretty deep...

How am I gonna get through?

Let's see.

Ah... Aha!

These should work.

Hmm...

Yep, nice and sturdy.

Now I just need...

There!

I'm on my way!

- What do you think, Melman?
- It's so beautiful!

And so slide-y!

[ laughing ]

It looks a little dangerous.

Woohoo!

This it's getting out of hand.

I'd better tell Marty.
He would not approve.

MARTY: Wahoo!

MELMAN: Marty!

Snow Day Marty forever!

I've got to try that!

[ Dave chatters ]

I can't watch.

That slide looks like a
one-way ticket to boo-boo town!

[ Moaning ]

If it were up to me, Bill,
you'd be transferred to Miami!

[ Gasping ]

I didn't mean that. I'm so
tired I can't think straight!

[ Phone ringing ]

What?

Carlos?

Kate! All good here!

- I'm almost to the zoo entrance!
- Can you start digging it out for me?

- Will do! Thank goodness.
- KATE: Why? Is everything okay?

What? Uh, yeah, of course.

I just, uh...

Hey, gotta go,
Ronathan's calling me!

What? Ronathan can't talk!

[ Moaning nervously ]

Was this from another
on-purpose slip?

[ Moaning ]

No, a for-real fall this time.

I knew that slide
looked dangerous!

[ Moaning ]

It was worth it!

- Melman, got room for more?
- How many more?

[ Groaning ]

I'm only one Melman. And
I'm not even a real Kate!

How does she do this?

Hey! You tied us together!

I'm sorry.

Whoa!

Don't you want me to fix it?

Thanks, but we'll wait for Kate.

[ laughing ]

Okay, Melman, next
patient coming in!

Guess I wasn't as
warmed up as I thought.

Can you help?

He-he. Guess I can "wing" it.

[ laughing ]

Wing it! That's good!

Huh?

[ laughing ]

I got this, I got this.

[ Groaning ]

Maybe I don't got this.

Thank you, Melman.

[ Sighing ]

[ Heavily breathing ]

Oh, no! Uh, Carlos?

Are you in there?

Kate! Yeah, I'm here!

I'm digging in!

[ Heavily breathing ]

- There you go, Lou.
- Especially bandaged, just for you!

Wow, Melman, it's really lovely!

The only problem is this is
the side with the boo-boo.

- Argh! So much for the magic touch.
- You know what? Don't worry about it!

I like the way the bandage
looks on this flipper.

- Ivy! Oh, right, your bandage.
- I almost forgot!

Kate said it needs to
be changed every day.

Just need to take the old one off
first. Okay, now just hold still.

And very carefully...

Incoming!

[ Ant'ney moaning ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Crying ]

Ivy, no, wait!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to rip that off so fast.

I promise it won't
hurt this time.

Don't you wanna feel better?

Sorry, kid. Was that my fault?

No, it's my fault.

I don't know what made me think
I could take care of anyone.

- I got some news that'll cheer you up.
- Looks like Kate's right outside!

She'll be back any minute!

That's the worst news
I've heard all day!

- Huh?
- I've been a terrible substitute Kate,

and when the real Kate
sees what a mess I've made,

she's gonna be so disappointed.

[ Crying ]

Melman, buddy, she'll
still be able to see ya!

You're right! Better hide.

Melman, what are you doing?

MELMAN: I don't have the
magic touch, and I never will.

And I don't want to be here
when Kate finds that out.

Woohoo!

[ laughing ]

Alright, Snow Day Marty's retired
and organized Marty is on duty!

We have a lot to do
before Kate gets here.

Starting with getting Ivy to come out
of hiding, so we can bandage her foot!

I got this.

Okay, Ivy, I'm gonna count to three
and then I wanna see you hop out here!

One, two, three!

[ Gasping ]

Okay. I'm gonna count to five! And
then you really better come out!

One, two, three, four,

four and a half, four
and three quarters,

four and a nickel? Five?

I don't think she's buying it.

- Oh, I know!
- Uh, maybe she'd like a song!

♪ There was once a
bunny named Ivy ♪

♪ She always made me smiley! ♪♪

Hmm, guess music's
not your thing.

Please, Ivy, I'm begging
you, come out, come out!

Alex, bud, it's gonna be okay.

- It's just an act!
- I'm appealing to her emotions.

Please, Ivy, please!

The only emotion you seem
to be causing is confusion!

Yeah, for all of us.

- You got a better idea?
- She's not coming out!

- We need help.
- And not just any help.

If anyone can make a baby
bunny feel safe, it's Melman!

Melman, Melman? We need
your help with Ivy.

I've already scared Ivy once, I'll
probably just scare her again.

I'm no help to anyone.

You did great!

Sometimes I couldn't
even tell the difference

between you and the real Kate!

The difference is Kate
always knows how to help

and she never makes mistakes.

Unlike me.

I don't know what to do.

Melman's really digging
his hooves in on this one.

Okay, so then he says,
"I'll just have to wing it."

[ laughing ]

He is the funniest
giraffe I've ever met!

Did you know he made me
breakfast this morning?

I'm talking sea lion
shapes! I love that guy!

[ laughing ]

[ Whispering ]

Hiya, Melman!

I just wanted to thank you
for helping me earlier.

- I didn't help.
- Your bandage fell off!

Yes, but you made me laugh,

and I've been in a happy,
wise-cracking mood ever since!

I'm feeling positively "batty"!

Get it?

[ laughing ]

Well, I'm glad you're
feeling better.

Hi, I wanted to show you
what happened to my bandage!

When everyone saw your beautiful
drawing, they all wanted to add to it.

It put me in the
best mood all day!

- See, Melman?
- So what if your technique's not perfect?

You made everyone feel better.
Even Dave and Pickles. Look!

[ laughing ]

If that's not the magic
touch, I don't know what is!

Comin' in at Kate o'clock!

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Kate and Carlos are in a high
stakes game of Marco Polo.

You've got ten minutes, max!

KATE: Marco!

I still can't tell
where you are.

Uh... Polo!

Marco!

I think you're
almost through. Polo!

We can still fix this!

But first...

What do you think,
little friend?

Ready to make that leg
feel as good as new again?

I may have messed up a few
times, but I gotta keep goin'.

It's what Kate would do.

- Really?

Great job changing
Ivy's bandage!

And you even found time
to sculpt a snow dinosaur!

Hmm, I didn't expect that,
but I gotta admit: I love it!

Uh... thanks?

[ laughing ]

Looks like you bandaged
up a lot of animals today.

Y'know, you'd make
a great paramedic.

I would?

I would!

Yup! Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm just a little
overtired, I think.

Taking care of animals is
hard work, I should know,

it's taken me years of
practice to learn it all!

Now come on, let's find
you a place to lie down.

Years?

Gloria! Kate's magic
touch wasn't magic,

it took her years of practice.

That means one day I could
have the magic touch too!

Magic touch or not,
I'll tell you one thing:

There's no substitute
for the original Melman.

[ laughing ]

[ Moaning ]

Now that was a great slip!

[ laughing ]

[ Snoring ]

Aw, he looks adorable.

Uh, and exhausted.

Maybe we should sing to him.
