(playful music) (birds chirping)


(parrot squawking)


I promise you Bertie,


I thought of everything for our little picnic.


Uh, well let's check again just to be sure.


Picnic blanket?


Got it!


Sunscreen?


Yep.


Umbrella?


It's here.


(Bertie gasps)


The picnic lunch!


Who's got the picnic lunch?


(McMeer grunting)


McMeerWhoa!


McMeer's got it!


But I'm about to lose it.


(McMeer exclaiming) (Bertie exclaiming)


Thanks Zigby.


Ya see guys?


I told ya I thought of everything.


(McMeer grunting) (playful music)


Um, are we going very far?


Nope, we're just going to the other side of the river.


Yeah, let's go (laughs)!


Yeah, but what about all the things that can go wrong?


Jump in Bertie (grunts).


Are you sure we won't fall out?


As sure as I'm stripey.


Well, I say we're trotting into trouble.


ZaraArr, Arr!


ZigbyHey Zara, Laurence!


Do you wanna come on a picnic?


Uh, no thanks.


We're playing pirates!


I be Cap'n Zara, the fiercest pirate on the seven seas.


And I be Peg Leg Laurence, arr!


Oh, pirates!


Oh dear.


(Laurence laughs)


Don't be scared.


We're nice pirates, really.


Come on Peg Leg, we've got pirate things to do!


(Laurence laughs) (Zara laughs)


[Zara and Lawrence] Bye!


ZigbySee you later!


(upbeat music)


(Laurence panting)


But Zara, what do pirates do?


We search for treasure, Peg Leg!


And, here's our treasure map.


So, to find the treasure, we have to go over the bridge,


into the cave and 'round the tree.


Where's the treasure?


Oh, um...


(Zara gasps)


We'll draw it here.


X marks the spot.


There!


And we'll call the place, um...


Oh, oh, oh!


How about Parrot Creek?


Aye aye, Peg Leg!


(upbeat music)


Parrot Creek it is!


And, we'll put the map in here to keep it safe.


[Zara and Laurence] Hey!


That parrot pirate has stolen our treasure map.


[Zara and Lawrence] After him!


(upbeat music) (wings flapping)


(Zigby grunts)


See, Bertie?


Everything's going perfectly!


(Zigby grunts)


Oh, look out for the parrot!


ZigbyUh oh!


BertieOo, oo, oo!


Huh?


Hm.


What is it?


Hm.


It looks like...


AllA treasure map!



Wow!


Let's go on a treasure hunt.


Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!


Oh, no, no, no, no, no!


Come on!


It'll be fun!


(Bertie whining)


We're going on a treasure hunt!


We're going on a treasure hunt!


We're going on a treasure hunt!


We're going on a...


(frog croaking)


(upbeat music)


Uh, we've never been to this part of the river before.


Yeah!


Isn't it great?


Zara and Laurence should've come!


I mean, shouldn't we turn back now?


Yeah, just as soon as we've found the treasure.


That way.


(upbeat music)


(Zara panting)


Are we going to get our treasure map back, Cap'n?


Aye matey, and when we do,


we'll make the scurvy map napper walk the plank!


(Laurence laughs)


Walk on a plank?


Why?


Uh, 'cause pirates don't like planks!


They're always falling off them.


(upbeat music)


(Bertie grunts)


BertieAre we there yet?


Well, it depends if you look


at the map this way, or this way.


Whoa!


(Bertie exclaiming) (McMeer exclaiming)


I can't see!


Whoa!


Watch out, McMeer!


I said I can't see!


Sit down McMeer, you're rocking the boat!


Whoa!


Whoa!


Whoa!


Help!


Help!


It's okay Bertie, you can stand up.


The water's not deep.


We're at the beach!


(McMeer grunting)


Oh dear, we've lost our picnic lunch.


(parrot squawking)


AllHuh?


What's that?


We've seen those parrots before.


(all gasping)


That's because this must be Parrot Creek.


Look!


They're here on the treasure map.


We might've lost a picnic lunch,


but we're about to find a treasure.


Follow me!


[Bertie and McMeer) Woo hoo!


McMeerYeah!


(Zara panting)


Come back, parrot!


Give us back our map!


Look, Cap'n.


Is that Zigby's boat?


Hm.


It could be.


Or it could be, a pirate ship!


(Laurence gasps)


Aye, Peg Leg.


I bet this ship belongs to Black and White Beard the pirate!


The scurviest sea dog in Parrot Creek!


(Laurence groans)


A pirate and a sea dog?


(Laurence whimpering)


Laurence, come back!


It's a game!


Oh!


I was just pretending.


Laurence!


(birds cawing) (upbeat music)


(all panting)


Look!


A bridge!


Just like on the map.


Hm?


ZigbyLet's go across!


(upbeat music)


But this doesn't look anything like


the bridge on the map, Zigby!


No, it's better.


This one swings! >> Whoa, stop making


it wobble, McMeer.


I'm going to fall!


We'll stop it from wobbling.



There!


(Bertie sighs)


That's better.


(Bertie screaming)


(water splashing)


Bertie!


Bertie, are you okay?


Yes, I'm fine!


Good.


Now all we have to do is just find that cave.


Could that be it?


Bertie!


You're brilliant.


You found the cave.


Let's go in!


(McMeer laughing)


I was afraid you'd say that.


ZigbyWe're going to find some treasure!


AllWe're going to find some treasure!


We're going to find some treasure!


We're going to find some treasure!


We're going to find some--


Whoa!


(all screaming)


(all thudding)


(Bertie groans)


I think I've broken every feather.


I think my stripes are all jumbled up.


(McMeer laughing)


Let's do that again!


Hey, my hat's on backwards.


(playful music)


Look!


There's a boat just like ours.


(Zigby laughing)


It is our boat, McMeer.


We're back where we started.


And we haven't found any treasure.


Zigby must've been reading the map wrong!


Let's start all over again. >> Hey!


No!


I wanna go home.


Look for treasure.


Go home.


Treasure! >> Home!


Careful!


AllWhoa!


Oh.


Oh, now everything has gone wrong.


Crazy coconuts.


I guess I really have trotted us into trouble this time.


(parrots squawking)


Huh?


Oh.


As sure as I'm stripey, I'll trot us all out again!


Where are those parrots going?


Cool bananas!


I'll bet they're going to the treasure.


Come on!


(McMeer exclaims) (Bertie exclaims)


(all panting) (playful music)


(all gasping)


It's the tree on the map!


Look at all that fruit!


All my favorites on one tree!


(McMeer munching)


Mm!


Delicious pear.


(Zigby munching)


Mm!


Yummy peach.


But we still didn't find any treasure.


Yes we did.


The best kind of treasure is the kind you can eat!


Mm, mango!


Wow, what a fantastic treasure hunt.


(upbeat music)


Ugh, it was just a game Laurence.


There is no pirate.


Really?


Yeah, really.


(parrot squawking)


Oh, look, Cap'n!


The pirate parrot!


Let's get our treasure map back.


(Zara panting) (Laurence panting)


Zigby!


Hey!


Hi, Zara.


Hi, Laurence.


I thought that was your boat.


We've been on the most amazing treasure hunt!


(gasping)


Here, have some treasure.


Oh.


(upbeat music) (munching)


So, that was really your treasure map?


Yeah!


We're pirates, you know.


(McMeer laughing)



And even though the map was made up,


there really was treasure after all (laughing).


(Zara munching)


But how are we going to get home without the map?


You know, we saw those parrots at Mudwater Creek


when we started out this morning.


Maybe they live there, too.


Yeah!


So, let's follow them home.


AllThanks parrots!


(all laughing)


(relaxed reggae music)


We're goin' to the beach, we're goin' to the beach!


Uh, I'm not sure I should go to the beach.


It's okay, Bertie, it'll be fun!


Nothing bad ever happens at the beach.


Zigby!


Something awful just happened at the beach.


Oh dear!


What's wrong, Zara?


My favorite doll Poppy's gone missing.


She was right there with my other toys


and, and, and then she was gone!


Aww, don't worry, Zara.


I'll find Poppy for you.


You will?


'Course we will!


Things can't just disappear like that.


Where's my beach ball?


Maybe Poppy's very close to where you left her.


Let's go and look.


But I did look.


She isn't there.


Hmm.


What we need is someone who's clever at finding things.


What we need is...


The Great Detective!


The Great Detective?


Where?


Right here, and by using all of my skills,


I'll solve this mystery!


(friends gasp)


FriendsMystery?


Yes, there must be a nollydapler around here


and he's taken Poppy!


A nollydapler?


No!


Uh, if anyone asks, I'm not here.


Detective Zigby is on the case.


I'll find this nollydapler, Zara, and get your doll back.


Huh?


Zigby's definitely trotting into trouble again.


(orchestral music)


Now, everyone will know what a nollydapler looks like.


Anyone who can help me find him will get a reward.


Reward?


(yelling in surprise)


Clem, you startled us.


(laughs) Clem's the name, appearing suddenly's the game.


Now, about this reward.


I'd like it, how can I get it?


Just help us find the nollydapler, Clem.


Right, I'll get straight onto it.


Uh, shouldn't we all just hide


until this nollydapler is caught?


We'll be okay if we stay together.


Come on, let's look for clues!


Hmm, yes.


Uh huh.


Ahh!


Hmm, very interesting.


Hmm...


(screams)


McMeer!


I'm putting my ear to the ground and listening for clues!


So, can you hear anything?


Sorry, can't hear you.


My ear's full of sand!


(hollow sound)


Well, no clues here.


But, you know, detectives can solve mysteries


by asking questions, too.


Um, Zara, when was the last time you saw Poppy?


Um, well, uh...


Wasn't it when you were playing with Laurence earlier?


Laurence must've seen the nollydapler!


That means he's my first eyewitness!


Great!


Now can I have my reward?


You'll have to wait, Clem,


until after I've found the nollydapler.


(disappointed sigh)


What are we waiting for?


Let's go!


Oh no, no, no.


I've got a far more important job for you and Bertie.


I want both you guys to stay behind


and set a nollydapler catcher.


A nollydapler catcher, great idea.


Uh, why?



Because a nollydapler always comes back.


(gasps) He's coming here?


Where we are, this place?


Woo!


(warbling, wings flapping)


Come on Zara, to Laurence!


To Laurence!


Gotcha!


Oh no.


Gotcha, no.


Gotcha, no.


(clears throat) Uh, hello, Laurence.


I'm Detective Zigby.


Wow!


So, when you were at the beach,


did you see the nollydapler take Zara's doll?


Uh, no, I didn't see any nollydapler.


Hmm, interesting.


Did you see anything unusual on the way here?


Uh, oh!


I did see Celeen.


She was hopping, that was unusual.


Ah, hopping!


Now can I have the reward?


Not yet.


To Celeen!


To Celeen!


(reggae music)


Hello, Celeen.


Detective Zigby at your service.


Oh, hello Detective.


So, Celeen, why were you hopping?


I bruised my foot on a rock.


Oh!


We think this nollydapler took Zara's doll.


Have you seen 'im?


No, I didn't.


Ow!


Zara, could you pass me my drink?


Mm-hmm.


(slurps)


Mmm, I didn't see any nollydapler,


but you should talk to those monkeys.


They were playing with something that looked like a doll.


A-ha!


Nope, you can't have the reward now, Clem.


To the monkeys!


To the monkeys!


(disappointed sigh)


(monkeys hollering)


Share the pineapple, Stink.


You gotta get it off me first.


Huh, huh, oh...


Watch it! >> Ow!


So, you weren't playing with a doll?


You can't eat a doll, although Stink tried once.


Hmm, we did see someone with a doll earlier today.


The nollydapler?


No, her.


She had the doll.


Hey!


Give it here!


I wonder how Bertie and McMeer are doing


with the nollydapler catcher.


To Bertie and McMeer!


Uh, the catcher wasn't supposed to catch us, McMeer.


(comical falling sound)


No time for lying around, guys, we've got work to do.


Thanks, Zigby.


Didja track down the nollydapler?


Not yet.


I need to come up with another plan.


And fast.


He's never going to show himself


if he knows you're after him.


That's it!


I need to disguise myself


and sneak through the jungle until I find him!


(upbeat music)


No, nope.


Definitely not, uh-uh.


No, no, uh...


I got it!


The perfect disguise!


There, the catcher will work now.


Really?


How?


Zara's other toys are tied to this rope


which goes all the way around the tree


and is attached to the net we buried in the sand.


So we're just going to leave the toys hanging here?


Don't touch!


That's what sets the whole catcher off!


Mine, mine, mine!


(laughs) No one will know who I am in this disguise.


Mine, mine...


What was that?


Look, it's him!


The nollydapler!


Crazy coconuts!



No, it's me, Zigby!


Ha ha!


Zigby doesn't wear glasses, after him!


Uh oh!


(monkeys hollering)


It's me, Zigby!


The Zebra!


(gasps) It's the nollydapler!


Let's get him!


Give me my doll back!


That reward is mine!


Oh!


(monkeys hollering)


Oh, you made a fast recovery.


Well, I'm not going to let him get away.


Come back you, you, you nollydapler!


(panting)


It's the nollydapler!


The plan's working.


Uh!


(struggling, grunting sounds)


You'll never get out!


It's escape proof!


Uh!


(screams)


(gasps) My toy!


(xylophone sound)


Oh!


Oh, my bottom.


FriendsHuh?


Zigby?


(gasps) You can't be the nollydapler.


Of course not, I was in disguise.


First my doll disappeared, now all my toys are gone!


If only I'd been there


when the doll went missing in the first place.


That's it!


It's so simple!


Cool bananas!


What's happening? >> What's going on?


I'll explain it again.


We're going to act out


exactly what happened when Poppy disappeared.


I'll pretend to be Zara,


which means Zara will pretend to be Laurence,


Laurence will be Bertie, and Bertie will be McMeer,


and McMeer is me!


Okay, simple.


I, that is Zara, was playing with my doll right here.


And I, that is Laurence, was play...


(frantic warbling)


Ow! >> Where's everybody gone?


Ow!


(screams, heavy thud)


Hey, what's this doing here?


(gasps) It's Poppy.


Oh thank you, Zigby!


Aw!


She was here all along, there was no nollydapler!


That's right, another case solved by The Great Detective!


What about the reward?


I think everyone deserves a reward for helping out!


(cheers)
