First Day of School
- Did you ever wonder how Sparks' Crew became a team?
It all started on their very first day
at Hero Elementary.
[upbeat music]
♪ ♪
- I'm nervous, Abuelita.
I've never been to a hero school before.
What if everyone finds out I'm scared of heights?
- Mi amor, estarás bien.
Everyone here is still learning.
Adiós. - Adiós, Abuelita.
[sighs]
Maybe I can just stay low to the ground.
[exciting music]
- Yay!
- Huh? Whoa!
Uh-oh.
[whimpers]
[squeaks] Oh, no!
[tense music]
- I thought you didn't like to fly high, Lucita.
- AJ, I'm so happy to see you.
- Can you believe we're finally going to hero school
like we always dreamed of?
Isn't it exciting? - Well--
[bubbles boing] - Look out!
Uh, sorry.
When I make bubbles, sometimes they get away from me.
- You have bubble power?
- Yup, yup, yup.
Benny Bubbles is the name. Making bubbles is my game.
[funky music]
Oh, oops. [tires skid, horn blares]
Ha! What are your names?
- I'm Lucita. Lucita Sky.
- I'm AJ Gadgets.
I love making gadgets.
And using gadgets, and heroes who use gadgets,
and all heroes in general.
I mean, I love everything that has to do with heroes.
- Wow, sounds like Hero Elementary
is the perfect school for you.
- [hums]
This first day is gonna be no prob.
Oops! [grunts]
Huh? Uh...
- Let me guess, super strength?
- How'd you know?
Cool gadget. I'm Sara Snap.
Put her there.
- Whoa! [laughs]
You really are super strong.
- [chuckles] Sorry.
Can't always control it.
- Hey, we all have the same shirts.
We must be in the same class.
- Oh, yeah!
- I guess we're all in Mr. Sparks' class.
- Great, I knew meeting friends would be a snap.
[whooshes] [grunts]
[chuckles] - You can teleport too?
- Yeah, can't always control that either.
- [laughs] Come on.
Let's go find our classroom and get this day started.
- Oy! - Ooh, I can't wait!
- [whimpers] I can do this!
[inhales, exhales]
- Welcome, students.
Please zip, zoom, swoop, or pop to class.
- I've never seen so many super kids.
- This place is so amazing!
- Whoa, I wonder what Mr. Sparks is like!
- I've been thinking about that.
Thought projecting!
- Cool superpower!
- I can show you anything I think.
And with a name like Mr. Sparks,
I imagine he has sparky superpowers.
- Ooh, ooh! I bet he has giant muscles!
Oh, yeah, he probably looks just like that.
[school bell rings] - Come on.
all: Huh? [drum roll]
- Buenos días. Good morning, young heroes.
- Mr. Sparks?
- That's right.
Welcome to your first day of hero school.
- Uh, but you're not--
- What you were expecting? [laughs]
There are many things you won't expect
here at Hero Elementary.
- We thought you'd have superpowers.
- [laughs] Enough about me.
Who's ready to get started? - I'm ready.
I brought my latest gadget to show everyone.
Spring shoes! [beeps]
Whoa! Oh, no!
Come back here.
- [laughs] I love a new class.
So much for me to teach.
[tense music]
- Never fear!
I shall stop this trouble with a bubble!
Oh, no!
[grunts]
[gasps]
- Or lots of little bubbles.
- Got them. Sorry, everyone.
Sometimes I make mistakes with my gadgets.
- Yeah, and sometimes I make mistakes with my bubble power.
- Well, like my abuelita told me,
everyone here is still learning.
- Exactamente.
And mistakes are wonderful because
we learn so much from mistakes.
- So how do we get rid of all these bubbles?
[groans] They don't pop!
- I'm the only one who can pop them.
[groans]
Uh, but I--I can't move.
- What if we could solve this problem
using special superpowers?
Superpowers that we all have?
- We do? - Everyone does!
They're called the Superpowers of Science!
- Huh, I never heard of those.
- The Superpowers of Science can help you solve any problem.
- How? - Let's start with this.
What do you observe?
- Observe?
- Yes!
What do you notice about these bubbles?
- [groans]
Well, they're super strong.
- I noticed they're bouncy and roll-y.
- So let's think.
How can we get strong, bouncy, roll-y bubbles
out of our way?
- Um, could we maybe open the door to let them roll out?
- Aha, so you predict that they will roll out.
- Predict?
- Yes, you told us what you think will happen.
Predicting is another Superpower of Science.
- Whoa, but how do we know
if the bubbles will roll out like Lucita predicted?
- I guess we open the door and find out.
- Buena idea. We test it out.
We try it to see what happens.
Testing is--
- Another Superpower of Science?
- Muy bien.
Now Lucita, would you like to test your idea
to see if the balls will roll out the door?
- Okay!
Whoa! - [whistles]
all: Whoa!
- Ah!
- Mr. Whistle. [laughs]
We're learning about the Superpowers of Science.
- This kind of thing happens all the time around here.
[jazz music]
Hero Training
- Hey, check this out!
- Whoa! - Ooh!
- Wow! - Whoa!
- Amazing! - Ah, the gym.
Where you will do much of your hero training.
Now, who's ready to get started?
- Oh, me, me! - I am!
- Whoo-hoo!
- Hero training? [whimpers]
- [grunts] Look, one finger.
- [grunts, laughs] Whoo-hoo!
- [laughs] I'm flying!
- How about you, Lucita?
Do you want to practice your superpower?
Maybe try flying through the rings?
- [gasps]
Um, all the way up there?
Oh, I'll try.
[whimpers]
[gasps]
Uh-oh! [exhales weakly]
[screams]
- Are you okay, Lucita?
- Yes.
When I fly too high,
I look down and get dizzy.
I'm kind of afraid of heights.
- Ah, but that's why you're here.
To learn.
- Maybe you won't be afraid
if you have a friend to fly with, like me.
- But AJ, you can't fly.
- No, but I can make Super Gadgets,
so I made this, a jetpack backpack.
- Wow! - So cool!
- Now we can fly together.
All I have to do is push this little button.
And--whoa!
[screams]
[grunts] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[whooshes]
- Gotcha!
[dramatic music]
- Oh, no! My jetpack!
- Don't worry, AJ. We'll get it back.
Come on, everyone!

Whoa!
[whooshes]
Oops.
[jetpack sputters]

[tense music]

Oh, what am I gonna do?
All my gadgets are in there.
- It's okay, AJ. Breathe.
- [inhaling, exhaling]
- Ooh, there must be some way to get it down.
Right, Mr. Sparks? - There is always a way!
- I'll just teleport up there and get it.
Roof. [whooshes]
Oops.
- Maybe I can help.
Bubble up!
Oh, no! Bubbles down.
- Hmm, if only someone had the power
to get up high enough to reach the roof.
- [sighs]
I guess the only one who can do it is...
[gasps] Me.
- But that's really high.
You'll get dizzy. - I know.
But that backpack is important to you.
I'll just have to find a way. - Hey.
How about if we use those science power thingies?
- The Superpowers of Science! Yes!
- Let's think.
Lucita gets dizzy when she looks down,
so what if she doesn't look down?
- Ah, what do you predict will happen?
- I predict that if she doesn't look down,
she won't see how high she is
and she won't get dizzy.
- So how can we find out?
all: We test it out!
- [gulps] Okay.
♪ ♪
I'll give it a try.
[panting] Don't look down.
Don't look down. Don't look down.
[grunts] I got it!
Whoo-hoo, hoo! - Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah, you go! - Hooray!
- It worked exactly the way you predicted.
- Here's your backpack, AJ. - Thanks.
- How does it feel to be a hero?
- Amazing!
You know, I think I'm really
gonna like this school after all.
- Fantástico.
Now let's go do some more hero training.
- Oh, yeah! - I can't wait!
- With the Superpowers of Science,
my students would be able to solve any problems
that come their way.
First Mission
- It was my students' very first day
at Hero Elementary, and wow,
was it flying by.
- Benny, Sara, can you hear me?
- We can hear you.
- And see you.
Over here!
- Wow, these Hero Screens
are just like the ones real heroes use.
- I can't wait to use them on a real mission.
- You never know when that might be.
- With these Hero Screens, we'll be ready for any trouble.
- Meanwhile at the City Town animal shelter,
trouble was unfolding fast.
[whooshes] - Oh, no!
Come back!
Ay. - [squawks]
- [meows]
- Come back!
I'm gonna need some help!
- [meows] [dramatic musical sting]
- Now here is a place to learn about great heroes.
The library.
- Whoa! - Wow!
- [gasps] Look at all the comic books.
- AJ knows everything about every hero
in every comic book ever!
- "History's Greatest Super Teams."
This has all the greats in one book.
Look, The Super Achievers.
The Cool Club.
Oh, and Team Tiny.
- Hey, we can be a great team too.
Maybe we should have a team name.
- Ooh, yes!
How about The Gadget Guardians?
- Or--or The Bubble Bunch?
- Maybe our team name should be about all of us.
Right, Mr. Sparks? - You do make quite a crew.
- Wait, wait! Oh!
That should be our team name!
Mr. Sparks' Quite a Crew!
- Hmm... [gasps]
How about just Sparks' Crew?
- Yes! - Works for me.
- Yes, I like the sound of that.
[The Sparkinator beeps] - Whoa!
What's that thing? - Ah, this is the Sparkinator.
It lets us know when there's a problem
that needs your heroic help.
- Wow, what an amazing gadget.
[dogs barking] - Oh!
What am I going to do?
- Is she at the animal shelter? - Yes.
And it looks like trouble. All right, everyone.
It's time for your first mission.
- Already?
- The best time to be a hero
is when you are needed most.
Now who's the crew who knows what to do?
[music stops]
You are.
- He--he's right! It's us!
Oh, we could do this. We're Sparks' Crew, remember?

Super Baby Hamster

they're super fast.

If we're gonna be a team,
we've really gotta start working together.
- Right, let's all see what else we can observe.
- Yes, keep using those Superpowers of Science!
- Well, I noticed that
every time we get close to the hamster,
she runs away.
- And she only stops to eat.
- Ah, so how do you catch a super fast hamster
who likes to eat?
- We don't.
Instead of trying to catch her,
what if we use food to get her to come to us?
- Ooh, I like it.
- What do the rest of you think?
- Thought projecting!
If one of us carries some food,
I predict the hungry hamster will go after it.
- And follow the food back to the animal shelter.

I'll lead the little cutie back to the shelter.

- Ooh, there must be some way to get it down.
Right, Mr. Sparks? - There is always a way!
- I'll just teleport up there and get it.
Roof. [whooshes]
Oops.
- Maybe I can help.
Bubble up!
Oh, no! Bubbles down.
- Hmm, if only someone had the power
to get up high enough to reach the roof.
- [sighs]
I guess the only one who can do it is...
[gasps] Me.
- But that's really high.
You'll get dizzy. - I know.
But that backpack is important to you.
I'll just have to find a way. - Hey.
How about if we use those science power thingies?
- The Superpowers of Science! Yes!
- Let's think.
Lucita gets dizzy when she looks down,
so what if she doesn't look down?
- Ah, what do you predict will happen?
- I predict that if she doesn't look down,
she won't see how high she is
and she won't get dizzy.
- So how can we find out?
all: We test it out!
- [gulps] Okay.

I'll give it a try.
[panting] Don't look down.
Don't look down. Don't look down.
[grunts] I got it!
Whoo-hoo, hoo! - Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah, you go! - Hooray!
- It worked exactly the way you predicted.
- Here's your backpack, AJ. - Thanks.
- How does it feel to be a hero?
- Amazing!
You know, I think I'm really
gonna like this school after all.
- Fantástico.
Now let's go do some more hero training.
- Oh, yeah! - I can't wait!
- With the Superpowers of Science,
my students would be able to solve any problems
that come their way.
First Mission

at Hero Elementary, and wow,
was it flying by.

Over here!

are just like the ones real heroes use.

trouble was unfolding fast.

Come back!
Ay. - [squawks]

The library.

This has all the greats in one book.
Look, The Super Achievers.
The Cool Club.
Oh, and Team Tiny.
- Hey, we can be a great team too.
Maybe we should have a team name.
- Ooh, yes!
How about The Gadget Guardians?
- Or--or The Bubble Bunch?
- Maybe our team name should be about all of us.
Right, Mr. Sparks? - You do make quite a crew.
- Wait, wait! Oh!
That should be our team name!
Mr. Sparks' Quite a Crew!
- Hmm... [gasps]
How about just Sparks' Crew?
- Yes! - Works for me.
- Yes, I like the sound of that.
[The Sparkinator beeps] - Whoa!
What's that thing? - Ah, this is the Sparkinator.
It lets us know when there's a problem
that needs your heroic help.
- Wow, what an amazing gadget.
[dogs barking] - Oh!
What am I going to do?
- Is she at the animal shelter? - Yes.
And it looks like trouble. All right, everyone.
It's time for your first mission.
- Already?
- The best time to be a hero
is when you are needed most.
Now who's the crew who knows what to do?
[music stops]
You are.

Oh, we could do this. We're Sparks' Crew, remember?

she runs away.
