[RATTLING]

SINGER: Way up high
In the Rolie Polie sky

Is a little round planet
Of a really nice guy

[UP-TEMPO b*at]

SINGER: He's Rolie Polie Olie

He's small and smart
And round

And in the land
Of curves and curls

He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land
Of curves and curls

He's the swellest kid around

He's Rolie Polie Olie

He's small and smart
And round

And in the land
Of curves and curls

He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land
Of curves and curls

He's the swellest kid around

And in the land
Of curves and curls

He's the swellest kid

The swellest kid around

Whee!

[SNIFFING]

[YAWNS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Morning, Zowie.

Howdy, Daddy.

[GIGGLES]

Hmm, seems door
needs a dollop of oil.

Morning.

How are we doing, Olie?

It sure is toasty in here.

[SQUEAKS]

Wow, what a squeak.

[CREAKING]

Oh, Housey's sounding a bit out of sorts.

[SNIFFING]

Hmm...

What is it, pumpkin?

I don't know.

It is awfully hot.

I'm going to check old Stokey.

Hmm.

[CREAKING]

How's everybody doing out here?

[CREAKING]

I'll give y'all a good greasing.

See what that does.

[MOANING]

[SNEEZES]

Whoa!

Whoa!

Bouncy, bouncy, bounce!
[GIGGLES]

Shattering stars! What was that?

[SNIFFING]

[MOANS]

[SNEEZES]

[SCREAMS]

[SNIFFING]

[GROANS]

Let's get out before it blows again.

[SNEEZES]

Gee whirlikers.

What is it, Dad?

[SIGHS]

Maybe the furnace blew a gasket.

Sneezy Housey.

Sneezy Housey.

You know,
Housey doesn't look so good.

It does a look a little green
around the gables

and wonky under the window.

MOM: Zowie's right.

I think poor old Housey
has a touch of the sneezies.

That's it.

[LAUGHS]

Housey's got a cold.

Aw...

Poor Housey.

[SNIFFING]

Don't lift a lever. I'll be right back.

Poor Housey.

Let's see
how bad it is.

Got to take its temperature.

Any fever?

Housey's a tad toasty.

Only one thing to do.

Sometimes when a house
is down and dumpy,

it just gets sick.

Housey needs some tender loving care.

I'll start with the pipes in the kitchen.

I help, I help.

[GIGGLES]

What can we do, Dad?

Well, when you got a homesick house

the best thing you can do

is tighten, torque and test every bolt

to keep out drafts and chills.

-[MOANS]
-Uh-oh.

BILLY: Howdy, Olie.

-Howdy, Mr. Polie.
-Wait!

Look out, Billy!

[HOUSE SNEEZES]

What in the Rolie Polie heck was that?

Don't worry.

Housey's just got the sneezies.

I hope my house doesn't catch it.

My mom just redecorated.

It's not so serious.

Old Housey just needs
some tender loving care.

It's time for some
polie-style sprucing up.

What you looking for, Billy?

Have you seen Dicey anywhere?

Mom wants to give her a bath.

Nokeydokey.

But we'll keep an eye out, 'kay?

We're going to clean
every inch of old Housey.

If Dicey's around, we'll find her.

Get well, Housey.

Tidy and tight makes Housey feel right.

There.

That ought to help
Housey feel better.

[GIGGLES]

There. That ought to make
Housey feel better.

-[RUMBLING]
-Uh-oh.

[SNEEZES]

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, my stars.

Guess old Housey needs more
sprucing than we thought.

BILLY: Dicey!

Dicey!

Dicey!

We've cleaned, straightened, dusted,

tightened, closed, fixed,
tweaked, and stacked.

We've spruced up everything
that's spruce-upable.

And oiled everything that's oilable.

Old Housey should be good as new.

Get well Housey card.

Get well, Housey.

[MOANS]

[SNEEZES]

Mm, Housey's still not quite himself.

Poor Housey.

Feel better.

[BARKING]

What is it, boy?

[BARKING]

What?

[BARKING]

Uh-huh.

What's he saying?

I'm not sure.

Calm down, Spot.

I can't understand a thing
you're barking.

[BARKING]

[SNIFFING]

ZOWIE: No clean Housey's spout.

MOM: Oh, dear.

Who knows what's stuck in there.

I got a wild hair up my nose once

and it made me sneeze like crazy.

It must be seven years of Sundays

since we swept that spout.

Come on, g*ng, time to sweep it on out.

[SNIFFING]

[MOANS]

Ooh, this is a mighty stuffy...

Sooty, sticky spout.

Come on, come on.

OLIE: Look out, Dad!

Housey's going to blow!

[SNEEZES]

-[YELLS]
-It's Dicey.

Poor dear must've gotten
stuck in the spout.

Yeow!

[COUGHS]

Wow, Dicey.

[MEOWS]

Is she okay?

-[DICEY PURRS]
-Yep. But she sure is dirty.

[MEOWS]

Mom's right, you do need a bath.

[SCREECHES, WHINES]

No wonder Housey
had the sneezies.

He didn't just have
a hair tickling his spout,

he had a whole cat.

[LAUGHING]

[MOANS, SNEEZES]

Whoa! [GRUNTS]

Oh, no.

This is going
to be the biggest

most humongous,
fanciest card house

in the whole universe.

You betcha.

[DOOR OPENS]

-Careful, Binky.
-No!

You have to be very...

[LAUGHS]

Careful.

All right, we're almost
back to where we were.

Zowie do, Zowie do.

Wait, Zowie.

Careful!

-[CARDS FALLING]
-Yay!

All fall down.

Nokeydokey, Zowie.

It's not supposed
to all fall down.

Building a card house
is just too hard for babies.

Hmph.

Zowie no baby.

You can watch us
build it, Zow.

But Billy's right.

Building a card house
is big kid stuff.

Yeah.

[WIND BLOWS]

Hello, leafy.

See?

You can't shake your hand
or breathe or anything.

You almost have it.

Yes!

You see?

You have to be
extra careful, see?

[LAUGHING]

What are they doing?

Nothing.

[LAUGHING]

Leafy, leafy!

Just chasing
a dumb old leaf.

That's really
boring baby stuff.

Uh-huh.

ZOWIE: Yay!

Leafy, leafy!

Leafy, leafy...

No...

Leafy!

Whee!

[TWEETING]

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[CRIES]

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

Leafy! Leafy!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Oh, careful.

Gently.

Yes!

We did it!

Leafy! Leafy!

Okey...

Dokey.

Huh?

Oh, no!

Look out!

[BLOWING]

BILLY: No!

[GROANS]

[ZOWIE LAUGHS]

[ZOWIE LAUGHING]

BILLY: Not again.

Why the long faces, boys?

We're trying to build
the biggest, most humongous

fanciest card house
in the whole universe.

Oopsie.

But it keeps getting
knocked down.

[LAUGHING]

What are those two up to?

[LAUGHING]

Nothing.

Well, nothing sure seems
like a whole lot of fun.

[BLOWING]

Leaf fall down.

[SNEEZES]

-Yay!
-Yay!

[LAUGHING]

Aw...

Leaf fall down, huh?

[MUMBLING]

Leafy.

Uh-huh.

[SIGHING]

[WHIRRING]

[GASPING]

Up, leafy.

[LAUGHING]

Up, leafy.

[SNORING]

Leafy! Leafy! Leafy!

[BARKING]

[SPOT WHIMPERS]

Here we go.
The tallest one yet.

Whew!

[BARKING]

[GIGGLING]

[WHIMPERING]

[SQUEALS]

Leafy, bye-bye.

[BOTH GROAN]

[SIGHS]

Kind of tired of making houses
and having them just fall down.

Yeah.

It's not so much fun anymore.

[SIGHS]

[BREEZE BLOWING]

Hey, our card.

Huh?

-Whee!
-[BINKY LAUGHS]

ZOWIE: Card!

Hey, Billy.

Yeah, Olie?

We're doing nothing with the little kids.

BILLY: Yeah, I know.

OLIE: Hey, doing nothing is fun.

BILLY: Yeah.

ZOWIE: Yay!

[RHYTHMIC DRUMMING]

I've never seen a bongo drum

with so many, uh, corners before, Billy.

Our bongo drums are, you know, round.

Yeah, I know.

But everything
at our house is square.

That's neat-o, Billy.

[RHYTHMIC DRUMMING]

That was great!

You want to play bongo drums
tonight when you come over

for our bongo a-go-go barbecue?

Sounds cool-i-o, Billy-o.

Da-da go-go.

MRS. BEVEL: Billy!

-Over here, Mommy-o.
-[DRUMMING]

Way to go-go with the bongos, kids.

Thanks, Mrs. Bevel.

We could use an extra
couple of bongo-playing hands

to bang our bongo a-go-go
shindig into shape.

You guys want to play?

You betcha, Mrs. Bevel.

Groovy.

Let's shimmy, Billy.
Got lots to do.

Well, I guess I got to go-go.

Guess I'll see you
at the bongo a-go-go.

Bongo go-go.

[HUMMING]

What you making
for the bongo a-g-go, Mom?

Extra wiggly jiggly-o.

Jiggly wiggly-o.

You know, Mom, they sure like

square things over at the Bevels.

Right you are, Olie.

Once the jiggly-o
is done chilling and chilly

then we'll make it square.

Round meatballs?

We've never had round meatballs before.

A good round meal

will make the curvy Polies
feel right at home

in our angular abode.

It looks like it went kind of square, Pop.

Time to square up the jiggly-o.

Wow, it sure is jiggly, Mom.

Let's see.

How does squares go again?

Ta-dah.

It's still got lots of curves, Mom.

Golly, gee.

I guess we Polies have a knack
for making things round.

Let me take a poke at it.

I'll angle this up.

[SAWING]

[JACKHAMMER CLATTERING]

[CHAIN SAW BUZZING]

OLIE: Doesn't look square to me.

Sure doesn't.

Hang on.

This is what it
should look like.

Square.

Here goes.

[SQUISHING SOUNDS]

I just can't get it.

We gave it our best Polie try.

It's just hard for us
to see any way but round.

I hope the Bevels
don't mind round food.

I bet there'll be dancing
at this barbecue.

It's a bongo a-go-go.

There's going to be lots
of dancing and drumming and fun.

Dancing! Dancing!

Oh! You don't suppose
they'll do the box step?

DAD: You don't think there'll be, uh,
square dancing, do you?

[LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING]

The book says, "Grab your partner."

Uh, "Do-si-do, form a square,
and, away we go."

[SNORING]

Ow. Ow, Zowie.

Very, uh... Exciting.

Very, um... Festive.

[LAUGHING]

Very... Square.

[MUSIC STOPS]

Maybe the Polies will want
to do a round dance.

Good thinking, buckaroo.

But what are round dances?

Whee... Ugh!

Ring-around-the-Rosie.

Bingo, boys.

Ring-around-the-Rosie, that's
so, um... So, well... Oval.

The book says make a circle.

Ring-around-the-Rosie

A pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes

We all fall down

Now what?

The book said we're all
supposed to fall down and laugh.

Ha, ha, ha.

Very, um... Cute.

Very... Unusual.

We've got the jiggly-o.

Wiggly, round, jiggly-o.

Well, we tried to make it square, Olie,
but we couldn't.

Why the glum faces?

We're going
to a Bevel bongo a-go-go.

[BONGOS PLAYING]

Welcome to our shindig, Polies.

We whipped up
a little something.

Now, that's some
jazzy-looking jiggly-o.

We tried
to make it square.

Well, if it tastes
half as smooth as it looks,

it's got to be out of this world.

[SIZZLING]

Why, those are some
fancy-looking burgers, Baxter.

They were going to be meatballs
but we just couldn't keep the corners off.

We Bevels have a knack for angles.

[LAUGHING]

We Polies have a knack
for making things round.

Besides, half the fun of going out
is trying something new.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Mmm... Mmm...

Just as tasty as square.

Mmm, just as tasty as round.

Mmm, yum.

Who's ready
to dance off this dinner?

[CHUCKLING]

We could all,
um, square dance.

We could
ring-around-the-Rosie.

[CHUCKLING]

Billy, come with me.

Hey, everybody,
me and Billy got an idea.

[BONGOS PLAYING]

Ooh, I like that.

Me and Billy came up

with this brand-new
dance together.

That sounds not round.

That sounds not square.

It sounds like a little of both.

SINGER: Round, round

Square, square

What's your shape?

I do not care

If you're round, you're round

If you're square, you're square

Just get your feet way up in the air

Yeah

Just get your feet way up in the air
