Oh, hi! [chuckles]

It's so good to see you!

And I was wondering when

'Cause I'm just about

He's gonna love getting this.

Let's... [sniffing]

Wait a minute...
What's that smell?

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

Hmm? [sniffing]

[gasps] Oh, it's you!

[sniffing] Ooo.

You smell... like you today...

[chuckles]

[sniffing] Aah!

And what a great smell it is.

Mmm...

What was I doing?

Oh! A postcard!

And it's for Tutter!

Let's give it to him
in the kitchen. Come on!

Tutter!

Tutter!

Hmm.

I can't find Tutter.

Could you help me call Tutter?

-Tutter! Oh!
-[shouting] Aaah!

Ah! Found One! Phew!

[chuckles]

-Hey Tutter!
-Oh. Hi, Bear! Hi... boy...

I've been looking for you!

Oh, I... I'm sorry, Bear.

Yeah. Gee whiz... the thing a
mouse has to go through

to find one green
grape around here!

[chuckles] Well,
what can I do for you, Bear?

Oh, no, Tutter.
It's what I can do for you!

-Huh?
-I was checking the mail, and...

-you've got mail!
-[gasps]

Mail? For me?

-Yep.
-Oh boy.

Right here!

Hm.

Oooh. What a pretty building.

Yeah. It is pretty.
It's from far, far away...

from a country called India!

India! Whoa boy. Well, h...

how far away is that, Bear?
Whoa.

Farther than Doctor
Hogg's house?

[chuckles] A lot farther away.

In fact, India is on
the other side of the world.

Whoa...

-boy.
-So Tutter?

Don't you want
to know what it says?

[gasps] Wh... wha...
It says something?

[gasps] I...
It has words? W... Wow! W...

Well,
why didn't you say so, Bear!

Oh, oh... Read it,
read it, read it, read it!

-[chuckles]
-Okay, okay, okay.

Ahem!

Um... 'Dear Tutter,

You probably do not remember me

because I have not seen you

since you were a little
baby mouse... '

Oooh boy. This is getting
interesting, Bear.

Whoa.
Keep reading, keep reading!

Okay, okay.

'I am your Uncle Jet
Setter Tutter... '

Jet Setter Tutter!

[gasps] I've heard of him!

Wh...
whoa. Grandma Flutter told me!

Boy,
he's a famous world traveler!

'Maybe you've heard of me
from your Grandma Flutter.

I am a famous
world traveler...'

Like I said...

'But with all my travelling

I have missed seeing
you grow up... '

Oooh.

'So I want to hear
all about you!'

Huh? Me?

'Yes, you!

Your Grandmother tells me
you write very good letters.

So I want you
to write to me all about you.

Can't wait to hear from you.

Love, Uncle Jet Setter Tutter.'

Wow boy.

Uncle Jet Setter, my...

my famous travelling uncle,
wants to hear about me?

Wow! Imagine that, Bear!

I mean, he's probably
been all over the world!

The North Pole... Timbuktu...

Cincinnati...

-Whoa boy.
-Ooo.

-Hey... hey, Bear.
-Mmm?

You know what? He's
probably even tasted

every kind of cheese there is!

-[chuckles] Yeah. Maybe.
-Yeah, yeah. But...

[gasps]

Tutter, what is it?

Oh... oh. Bear... ah, oh dear...
I... I just realized.

I just realized,
I don't know what to say!

I mean, what do I say
to someone so interesting

about a
plain little old mouse like me?

What?

Tutter, you are not
a plain little mouse!

-Oh. I'm not?
-Mm-mmm.

You are... well, first of all,

look at these
ears, look at them.

Wh... wh... wh... what... what?
What's wrong with them?

I just washed them, Bear!

-Oh.
-[chuckles] No.

There's nothing wrong with them.

They are wonderful!

Especially how nice and blue
they are on the outside,

-and then... see right there...
-Yeah.

And then... turn around...

how nice and pink
they are on the inside!

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

-Hm. Yeah. [chuckles]
-And... [gasps]

Look at this,
look at this tail. Oh!

-This... this... this tail?
-What a tail!

-Wh... wh... what about it?
-Oh. It is great!

Especially how nice and whippy,
it is.

[chuckles] Nice and whippy!
[chuckles]

I like that, Bear! I like it!

Whippy, whippy, whippy, whippy.
[chuckles]

Yeah. See, Tutter,
you are going to discover

there are so many great
things just about you.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
Maybe you're right, Bear!

Boy, heh, I guess I have
some thinking to do, huh?

-Mm-hmm.
-But... um, um, Bear?

-Mmm?
-Wh... when I'm ready,

will
you help me write my letter?

[chuckles] Of course, Tutter.

Just let me know
when you're ready.

[chuckles] Okay. Bye, Bear.
Wow, w...

Uh...
oh, er... um, thank you, Bear.

Oh. You're welcome Tutter.

[gasps]

-See you later.
-[mumbling] See you later.

[chuckles] Wow.

That was some postcard
Tutter got, hmm?

Hey, what do you think?

What would you tell
somebody about yourself?

You know,
what would you say to them?

What do you think?

I'm tall.

My height is seven feet.

I weigh 49 pounds.

I'm nine years old.

I'm skinny.

I have a lot of friends.

I'm messy.

I'm really good at computers.

I got a big mouth.

I got big ears.

I'm shy.

I got brown hair.

Uh, my hair is uh, ah, brown.

I look like my mother.

I think I look handsome.

I love myself. [chuckles]

Wow! Look at all of you
out there [chuckles]

Wow! Look at all of you
out there [chuckles]

Hey, can you keep a secret?

I think you are great.

Yeah, you!

You. Mm-hmm.

Have you ever thought about you?

Well, there are a lot
of things that make you, you!

Mm-hmm. For example...

um, oh!

You could have brown hair,
and like candy!

Or, you can have red
hair and love liver!

Or... oh!

You could be covered
with orangy... brown fur

and love triple berry pie!

Mmm... pie.

[tapping lips]

Oh! [chuckles]

And there's one more
thing I forgot to mention,

the best part of being you is...

there's nobody else
in the world like you!

Mm-hmm. Whether you're tall...

or short...

Young or old...

orange or blue.

you are you, and that's
something nobody else is!

RIP/POP: Bear! Bear! Come quick!

Hey!
That sounds like Pip and Pop!

Wanna go see what they're doing?
Let's go!

Bear! Bear! Over here!

-Ooo, Bear!
-Ooo.

Guys, guys. I'm right here.
Now, what's wrong?

Oh, it was terrible, Bear!

We were just sitting
around the pond...

Enjoying how incredibly
alike we are...

Yeah. You know... both purple...

-We're both otters...
-And of course, we both...

[splashing water]

[shouting] ...love water!

[chuckles] Yes.
I knew that about you two.

Yeah... but then, suddenly...

-I looked at Pip...
-And I looked at Pop...

... and I noticed
something about him...

something about Pip's ears...

they're further back than mine!

Yeah, yeah! And Pop...

Pop makes this face.

It's... it's kind of like.
it's kind of...

Ew, ee, ew. Aw, I can't do it.

Like this!

That's it! That's it!

And then... and then. I
realized, I like stuffed clams,

but I love steamed clams.

Yeah, and I just like
steamed clams,

but I love stuffed clams!

Yeah, yeah.

And then we both knew, Bear...

Yeah.

We're not the same!

Oh...

Oh well... yeah, guys. You're
not exactly the same, but...

And... and the
sad thing is, Bear,

that I always wanted
to grow up to be just like Pop.

Well, that's very kind
of you, but I must disagree.

It is I who has always wanted
to grow up to be just like you.

Oh. I am honored, my...

Um, guys?

... dear Pop, but it is you,
that I want to be like.

-Um, guys!
-But I'd always try to be...

-Guys!
-Yes?

Well, you may not be
exactly the same,

but I think there is
something you should know.

What?

I've always known you two
were different

in your own special way.

Ooooh.

I like the sound of that.

-Yeah. Me too.
-Mm.

Oh yeah. You two have very
different personalities!

Oh.

And that feels gooood.

Ohhh. Personalities.

Yeah. I mean, if you two
were exactly the same...

-Mm-hmm.
-...all the time...

always agreeing on everything...

Mm. Yeah.

Well then, Pip,
you wouldn't be you,

-and Pop?
-Uh-huh.

You wouldn't be you!

-Hey, yeah...
-[gasps]

But... but even though
were not exactly the same,

that doesn't mean we can't
hang out together, does it?

[gasps] Oh.
Say it isn't so, Bear!

Oh no, no, no. Of course you
two can hang out together.

You can still like
the same things,

but appreciate how
different you are!

-Yeah.
-That's it.

-Yeah.
-Come on, Pip.

-Let's go be different...
-Together!

[chuckles] Bye, Bear!

See you later, guys! Have fun!

[chuckles]

Well, I guess everybody's
one of a kind.

[Shadow's laughter]

Hey. Speaking of one of a kind,

that sounds like Shadow.

-[laughter]
-Yep, that's her.

Maybe if we sing our song
together, she might appear.

Ready?

♪ Oh! Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where-o where-o
where is Shadow? ♪

♪ Where can Shadow be... ♪

Ha, ha.
Hey, ya fuzzy old fellow!

-Hm.
-[chuckles]

Hello, Shadow!
It's good to see you.

So,
what have you been doing today?

Aw. I was just playing

with my friends
the sunbeams, Bear!

Ooo. That sounds like fun.

Well,
Shadow, we were wondering...

do you have a story
for us today?

Why certainly, Bear!

Just watch.

[magic fairy dust sound]

an ugly duckling ♪

Quack, quack, quack,

Wow! That was great!
"The Ugly Duckling! "

[chuckling] Mm-hmm. Yes,

but if you ask me,

the best thing about swans
and ducks

is that every
one of them is different!

No two are alike!

That's true, Shadow.

Oh, and by the way, Shadow,
there is no one quite like you!

Why thank you, Bear!

Well, I'm off...

But if you need another story...

just try and catch me!

[chuckling] Thank you, Shadow.
B-bye.

[chuckles]

OJO: Well, Treelo we have
to play something...

TREELO: I know,
but not tea party...

-Oh no.
-Hey...

that's Ojo and Treelo.

Let's go see what they're doing.
Come on.

Me no want to play tea party.

Well then, you've got
to think of something to play...

Oooh.
Looks like a tea party here.

Yeah. Tea party. Again.

This is the third time
we play tea party this week.

Me tired of tea
party all the time.

[sigh] No. It's not the third
time we've played tea party.

It's the um... fourth.

Well, anyway, if you're
so tired of tea parties,

then think of something
else to play.

Hey,
that's a great idea, Treelo.

What would you
like to play next?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Treelo want to play
what Treelo want to play.

-Hm.
-Well... well, then, okay.

What do you want to play?

Treelo not know.

But not tea party.

-Well, Treelo.
-Huh?

Just think for a minute.

I mean, what kinds of things
do you like to play?

Hmm...

-[gasps] Oh! Oh! Okay.
-What? What?

Treelo know what
Treelo want to play.

Great! Go ahead.

Treelo like to... have...

-A banana party!
-[laughter]

-Yeah.
-A banana party?

-A banana party.
-A banana party!

-Yeah.
-[giggles] That's great!

See? There you go! Now you
know what you want to do.

Yeah. Hm.

That's another way
of finding out

what kind of person you are...

by knowing what you like.

-And that feels good!
-Yeah! Feels good!

-[chuckles]
-Bananana party!

That sounds like a great idea!

But, um.

how... how do you
have a bananana party?

Oh! Treelo know!

And Treelo teach Ojo.

-Oh! Great idea. How cool.
-Yeah.

-Thank you, Bear.
-Thanks, Bear!

-Bye!

Come on.
We'll go get some bananas.

Come on.
We'll go get some bananas.

Tutter! Have you thought
of anything for your letter yet?

Oh, sure, Bear, sure.

I've thought of a lots of stuff.

Big flappy blue ears,
whippy little tail,

huge white eyes
with little black dots...

the whole list... but...

But...

but what, Tutter?

But... th... that's just the
stuff that you can see, Bear.

Wh... what about me
underneath the blue fur?

What about my hopes, my dreams?

Bear, w... what about 'em?

So, that's what kind

Yeah,
I think you've got it, Tutter.

-Bear...
-Mmm?

Grab the pen.

I'm ready to tell Uncle
Jet Setter a thing or two...

about a little
mouse named Tutter.

Okay. sh**t.

Dear Uncle Jet Setter...

Not that long ago, in a hole...

Ah... the attic.

Isn't it great?

Sometimes I like to come up here

and just look out at the stars.

It's also where I talk
to a special friend.

Let's see if we could find her.

Ahh! There she is!

Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear!

Tell me what's been going on
in the Big Blue House today?

Well Pip and Pop were funny,

they found out that even though
they're a lot alike,

they will always be different!

And Treelo figured out
the things that he likes to do!

Mmm. And what about
my little friend Tutter?

Well, Tutter did a lot
of heavy thinking today.

He got a letter from his Uncle

who asked Tutter
to describe himself.

Oh my!

That's not an easy task!

Well let's just say that

Tutter realized that
there's no mouse like him.

[chuckles]

Oh, I quite agree, Bear.

He is unique and very
special in his own way.

Hey. That's right!

Just like all of you!

-You know, Bear...
-Mmm.

I see a lot of things
from up here, and I must say,

there's no one quite like you,
either.

You're a one of a kind Bear.

Wow.

You... you really think so?

Mm-Hmm.

Oh. Thank you, Luna.

[chuckles]

Say,
Luna, would you like to sing

the "Goodbye Song"
with me before you go?

Of course!

It's one of the things
I like to do best, Bear.

♪ -Hey, this was really fun
-We hope you liked it, too ♪

♪ Seems like we've just begun ♪

♪ When suddenly we're through ♪
