♪ So let's begin ♪

Wow! Oh, boy! Look at this!

[laughing]

Aw!

There you are.
So good to see you! Come on in.

I was...

[sniffing]

Wait a second...

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

It smells like...
don't tell me...

[sniffing]

something fresh
and clean like...

[sniffin]

You!

[exhales]

Tell me.
Did you just get dressed?

Because you smell like fresh,
clean clothes.

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time.

Well, come on.

I was gonna work on my new book
of "Brain Teasers for Bears."

It's called
"Brain Teasers for Bears."

Ah, yes.

"Brain Teasers for Bears:
Guaranteed to make you think."

Well, that's good.
Because I like to think.

Hey! Would you like
to help me with a brain teaser?

Great! Okay. Let's try one.

How about this one? Okay...

Take a look at these pictures.

Now which one of these pictures
rhymes with the word "moon"?

Let's think, now.

We have a comb, a truck,

and a... what's the last one?

That's right. A spoon.

Which one rhymes with "moon"?

Did you say "spoon"?

That's right!

Hey, you're pretty good at this!
Do you want to try another one?

Bear! Oh, Bear! Bear!

[giggling]

-Hey, Tutter.
-Hey, Bear!

You'll never guess
what happened!

-You found some cheese?
-No.

You got a letter
from Grandma Flutter?

No, Bear!

You finally chewed
through that wall?

Bear!

I said you'll never guess,
and I meant it!

Oh, okay, Tutter.
Tell me what happened.

Okay. I was just going
about my chores,

when suddenly
I found the most amazing thing!

Wait right here.

I wonder what it is.

Oh, boy, oh, boy!

Ta-da.

Oh, look, it's a...
piece of string,

And...

Well, gee, Tutter.

Whatever was on the other end
seems to be gone.

No, Bear! The string!
The string!

The string's the thing!

That plain old piece of string?

Plain old piece of string?
Plain old piece of string?

Well, yeah, Tutter.

I'm sorry, I just don't see
what's so special

about that piece of string.

But, Bear,

string is one of the greatest
things in the world!

-Really?
-Well, sure... Okay.

Let's say, for example,
you wanted to make something

nifty to wear around your wrist.

Oh, like a bracelet?

Perhaps a bracelet
made out of...

Ta-da.

Hey! String!

Tutter has made a bracelet
out of string! Wow!

Sure, Bear, sure!

My great Aunt Twizzler Tutter

made all of her clothes
out of string!

Really?
Clothes out of... string.

Sure! Stay right there, Bear!

You can also use string
to fly a kite.

You see the string right there?

[giggling]

Or...

You can go fishing with string.

Wow, Tutter, when you start
thinking about it,

there are lots of uses
for string.

Yeah!

[giggling]

There's are over 1001 things
to do with string, Bear.

Really?

Well, what are you
and your string

going to do now, Tutter?

What are we going to do now?

I'm a mouse
with a piece of string, Bear!

The possibilities are endless.

Bye, Bear.

-Okay, Tutter. See you later.
-Bye, Bear!

Wow. Tutter thought of
so many uses for string!

That Tutter.
He's always thinking.

Yeah! Thinking.

Thinking is what
you do with your mind.

Like when you try
to remember the alphabet.

♪ A, B, C, D, E, F... ♪

♪ G! ♪

Yeah, that's thinking!

Or, when you try and decide
what to have for lunch.

Should I have raspberries
or blueberries?

Maybe both?

That's thinking, too!

Or when you play with your toys

and you try and decide
what your doll should wear...

.I think she'll look good
in the red sweater.

That too is thinking.

But, you don't have
to be deciding

or remembering to be thinking.

Something is always
going on up here.

And even though
you're just sitting,

doing nothing,

you are still thinking.

Think.

But, there's so much
to think about.

Tell me, what do you like
to think about?

What do you think?

I could think
about different things.

I like to think about
happy thoughts.

Maybe how I can get
better in school.

I like to think about
when I grow up.

Being a comedian.

Being a movie star.

Practicing basketball and being
a good basketball player.

I like to think about my dog.

I think a lot but I keep
forgetting what I think about.

I think about seeing
all my friends again.

I think about my daddy.

I like to think about my mom.

So that's what you've been
thinking about?

You're a good thinker.

You know, I could use you.

Would you like to try another...

"Brain Teaser for Bears"?

Let's see... How about...

this one!

Guess what animal I am?

Sounds like fun.

I live in a tree...

I stay awake all night...

and I like to hoot.

Who am I?

Let's think...

Lives in a tree...

Is awake all night...

Likes to hoot.

[hooting]

Did you say an owl?

Let's see.

You're right!

Wow! Good thinking!

What's this?

It's a piece of string!

Where'd it go?

There it is again.

What is going on?

Tutter?

[screaming]

Howdy there, Bear!

I just thought up another
use for this here string.

See? I done lassoed me up
some cheddar.

[whooping]

Stand back, partner!

[giggling]

Way to go, Tutter.

Yeah, well.
My string lasso sure makes...

roundin' up this big ol' hunk of
cheddar a lot easier!

[giggling]

Good thinking, Tutter!

Yeah, well,
come along little cheesey!

[humming]

See ya later, Tutter!

Hey, I just had a thought.

A thought is...

A though is something
you think about.

Anyway, I just had a thought.

I want to show you something.
Come on.

So, this is it.

This is what I want to show you.
Right here.

This is my favorite place
where I come to just to be quiet

and think about things.

Do you have a special place
where you like to go

just to think about things?

Maybe your room,
or just lying on your bed...

Well, this is my favorite place.

It's Bear!

What do you think he's doing?

I don't know.

What do you think he's doing?

Well, it kind of looks
like he's doing nothing at all.

-Well, maybe we should ask him?
-Okay.

Excuse us, Bear?

Hey, Pip, hey, Pop!
What can I do for you?

Well, we were just wondering...

Whatcha doing?

Well, I'm just here
at my favorite thinking place,

you know, just... thinking!

Thinking.

Cool.

-Yep, he's thinking.
-Yeah. Wow.

Hey, Pip, maybe we should
give thinking a try too!

-A splendid idea, Pop!
-Why, thank you.

How's it going so far?

I'm getting nothing here.
How about you?

-Big blank-o.
-Nada.

Not a thing in my head.

-Zippo in the noggin.
-Guys...

-Yes, Bear?
-What are you doing?

-Well, we're trying to think.
-But we can't.

Yeah.

We can't think of anything!

I see. Well...

Tell me. What are you
thinking of right now?

Well, we are thinking...
Thinking about...

Thinking that we can't think!

That is thinking
about something.

Really?

-Yep.
-You're thinking all the time.

-You mean we were thinking...
-And we didn't even know it?

Sure!
You've been thinking all day.

For instance, tell me,
what have you done today?

Pop made up this new game
where we swim backwards.

That was fun.

Hey! That takes thinking.

Oh, yeah,
and we helped Jackie...

You know, the slug.

...figure out a faster
route around the pond.

That takes a lot of thinking.

Oh! And then we looked
at clouds.

Oh, yes.

Did you ever notice, Bear,
that clouds sometimes

look like hippopotamuses?

-And pillows.
-And hippopotamuses on pillows.

And pillows with hippopotamuses
underneath them?

You guys are good thinkers.

Hey, we're thinkers.

-You sure are.
-Well, you must excuse us, Bear.

Yes. We have lots of things
to think about.

Oh, well, of course.

-I'll see you later, guys.
-Goodbye, Bear.

-Thinker Pip.
-Yes, Thinker Pop.

If a stick falls in the pond
and no one's there to hear it,

does it make any sound?

I shall have to think
about that.

[giggling]

Great minds at work.

[shadow laughing]

Did you hear that?

[shadow laughing]

That sounds like Shadow.

You know, maybe if we sing
her song together,

she'll appear.

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where, where,
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where could Shadow be? ♪

Shadow!

[shadow laughing]

Hey, you big ol' Bear!
I'm right here!

Hey, Shadow!
So nice to see you today.

So what have you been up to?

I was just sitting in a tree

trying to come up
with some new stories.

Really? How did you do?

Well, see for yourself, Bear!

Here's one that
I just thought of. Watch.

♪ A man in the wilderness ♪

♪ Asked of me... ♪

How many strawberries
grow in the sea.

♪ How many strawberries
grow in the sea? ♪

♪ I answered him
as I thought good ♪

♪ Oh, as many herrings
that swim in the wood ♪

What's that got to do
with strawberries?

Last one in is a rotten egg!

Yeah, man. Surfs up!

Yeah, cool.

Wow! What a great story!

"A Man in the Wilderness."

That guy was some thinker!

He was indeed, Bear!

Well, I'm off.

But when you need another story,
just try and catch me!

Thanks, Shadow. Bye-bye!

Hey! You know what I think?

I think I'd like to do
another Brain Teaser. Do you?

Great. Let's go!

Well, how 'bout one more
"Brain Teasers for Bears"?

Let's see...

This one's about a bug.

I am a bug but I do not fly.

I like to make webs.

Which bug am I?

Let's think.

It doesn't fly,
so it doesn't have wings...

but it makes webs...

Did you say a spider?

Hey! That's right.
I guessed that too.

Well, you know, they say
that great minds think alike.

Hey, what's this?

Look!

It's a piece of string.

Let's see where
this string leads to.

It goes into the foyer!

And through the foyer...

And it's heading
toward the kitchen...

And look!

It leads right
over to a present.

A present?

Surprise! It's for you, Bear.

Hey! A present for me?

Hey, something else
you can use string for.

Well, aren't you going
to open it, Bear?

Oh, sure, Tutter.
Let's see what's inside.

Hey!

It's a ball of...

string!

Yeah, Bear,
I loved my string so much,

I thought
you might like some too!

String even makes a great gift!

-It sure does.
-It's the gift

that keeps on giving, Bear.

And a very thoughtful gift
it is, Tutter...

And very stringy.

You know, Bear.
I have a few ideas

for that string of yours.

Oh, I'm sure you do.

Yeah, like,
you could make marionettes!

You know, string puppets!

I love puppet shows. Don't you?

Yeah, or you could make
a jumprope.

Oh yeah!

Or you could string together
some old cans

and make a telephone.

We could play
telephone together!

Yeah, Bear.
Or you could lace up your boots.

-That's true.
-Yeah. You could tie up stuff.

You could make ornaments
for your Christmas tree.

[laughing]

Tutter sure has been
thinking a lot about string.

Hey, Ojo. Hey, Treelo.

-Hey, Bear.
-Hey, Bear. What are you up to?

Well, I was just thinking,

that after a full day
of thinking,

I like to do something
to clear my head.

What is it, Bear?
We want to do it, too.

What? What? What? What?

-Well... I'll give you a hint.
-Ok.

It starts off
with a little scritching...

Did we hear somebody say

-"scritching"?
-Yep!

And I know, Bear!
Then, maybe a little itching?

Itching! Is there some itching
going on out here?

-Yep!
-Bear! Bear! Bear!

Twitching! Treelo twitching?

That's right!

[laughing]

I'm getting that feeling again.

Yeah, it's an itchin',
a twitchin', a scritchin',

a scratchin'!

It's time for the Bear
Cha-cha-cha!

Wow! Some day, huh?

Why don't we go up
and tell Luna, all about it?

Come on.

The attic.

I just love it up here.

Wanna know why?

Because it's full of
such neat stuff.

For instance...

See this book?

This is my old yearbook from
when I went to Hazelnut High.

Wow! This brings back memories.

You know, I was voted
most likely to cha cha-cha.

Yeah.

The attic is just full
of so many good memories.

It's also where I come up
to talk to my old friend, Luna.

C'mon. Let's go find her.

There she is.

It's so good to see you, Luna.

Well, thank you, Bear.

How are things
in the Big Blue House?

Well, we were thinking
about a lot of things today.

You've got a lot of great
thinkers in your Big Blue House.

You're right, Luna.

Tutter thought
of a lot of uses for string.

He's very resourceful, that one.

Yeah.

And the Otters
didn't think they were thinking.

But you know
what they found out?

Their minds are working...

-All the time.
-All the time.

And what about you, Bear?

Well, we solved
a Jot of Brain Teasers.

And I got to sit out by the pond
for a while and just think.

Well, you know, Bear,

I think there's an awful lot
to think about.

The earth, the sun, the stars...

and, of course, the moon.

Well, do you think you have
some time to sing

the "Goodbye Song" with me?

What a wonderful thought, Bear.

What a wonderful thought.

♪ Hey, this was really fun ♪

♪ We hope you liked it too ♪

♪ Seems like we've just begun ♪

♪ When suddenly we're through ♪

♪ Goodbye, goodbye,
good friends, goodbye ♪

♪ Cause now it's time to go ♪

well, that's ok ♪

Bye now!

Well, thanks for visiting
the Big Blue House! Bye-bye!

And remember,
I'm always thinking of you.

See you soon!
