[theme music plays]

[panting]

Oh, hi, there. [chuckles]

I thought I saw you coming.
Well, come on in.

You know... [stops]

Say...

Is that a new shirt
you're wearing?

[sniffs] 'Cause...

[sniffs] Aaah!

You smell fresh, like that...
[sniffs]

Fresh new smell,
that fresh new shirts have.

Or maybe you just smell
that good all the time.

You're just in time.

Today is gonna be very exciting,
here, at the Big Blue House.

-Because...
-PIP&POP: Bear! Bear!

Bear! Bear! Bear!

Ready to go to
the train station?

Rocko's train will be here soon!

This is what I was
going to tell you.

Pip and Pop's cousin, Rocko,
is coming here to play today.

Oh, oh, Bear, is Rocko,
here to play yet?

-Rocko, Rocko!
-But, where's Rocko?

[laughs]

It can be very exciting
when a friend comes to play.

[whooshing sound]

[exclamations] [giggles]

They're all kinds
of ways to play...

-For example, you could...
-Oh! Oh!

You could pretend like you're
hunting treasure on Ojo island.

[exclamations]

-Yes, that's a good one.
-Yeah.

-Or...
-Or... you could!

Skateboarding!

Yes, or...

Oh, or...

Cards! [chuckles]

Yes, those are all great. But...

The most important
think to remember...

When you play with someone,
is...

to have... fun!

[laughs]

I think we could handle that.

So, Pip, Pop!

We've never met, Rocko.
What's he like?

Well... it's been a while
since we last saw him.

But we have a picture... here

Look!

Huh?

See? [laughs]

Look at you, guys.

Yeah, here we are at
the swimming pool there.

Rocko insisted on
wearing a bathing suit.

-He's quite of a shy guy.
-And quiet, too.

-Yeah.
-But, enough talking about him.

Let's go get him!

The train! The train!

I'll be right back you guys.

-OJO: Okay.
-TREELO: Bye, bye, Bear.

Hey,
would you like to come with us

to the Woodland
Valley train station?

And meet Rocko?

Great! Let's go.

[train chugging and whistling]

Oh, oh,
the train is pulling away.

Oh, I hope we didn't miss Rocko.

Maybe he's over here.

-And now remember, Bear.
-Rocko, is very shy.

So, no loud noises.

Yeah, yeah, and no sudden moves.

Okay, guys, okay.

Oh, where could he be.

Ooohh...

[thud]

Hey, there!

[screams]

-Rocko?
-Is that you?

Well who were you expecting...

A little butterfly?

[effort]

Give me five! Give me ten.

Bump bellies!

[laughs]

You must be Bear.
Nice to meet ya!

[chuckles]
Nice to meet you, Rocko.

I've heard lot about you.

Or, so I thought.

Uh... so guys, you wanna
head back to the house?

Sure, Bear.

Oh, Rocko?

You've got a little
something on your...

-Right there...
-Right, stuck on your...

Oh, yeah, the stamps.
I almost forgot.

It's the only way to travel...
Huh-uh!

[laughs]

Hmm!

[music plays]

And this Rocko, is...

The Otter Pond.

[laughs] Yes, the Otter Pond!

Oh... cool digs.

Digs?

Yeah, you know... like a crib.

Oh, no, Rocko. We sleep in
regular big otter beds now.

Yeah, that's right.

Uhh... guys,
what I think Rocko means is...

this looks like a
nice place to live.

-Oooooh!
-Uh-uh.

Ooh. Boy, you guys really
need to work on your cool.

I can see I got a big

Wow!

Why don't you make
Rocko feel at home.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay.

Can do, Bear. No
problemo. We're on the case.

So Rocko, we were thinking
about a nice game of Go Fish...

Huh? Huh? [laughs]

You mean like cards?

That's what we were thinking.

Well, don't you worry
about thinking monkey...

-I'll take care of that.
-Monkey?

Hey, Rocko's in town,

so just lay back and
enjoy the ride. Come on!

Well, okay.

Does that mean no cards? Rocko!?

[dialing numbers]

Oh. I thought I'd
surprise everybody

by taking them to the
movies this afternoon!

I'm just calling for tickets.

Hello and welcome to
Woodland Valley Movie Phone.

Great. Uh...

Press one for a listing
of today's movies.

Oh, umm...

I can't press one...
I don't have any buttons...

Hold and an operator
will be right with you.

♪ La-la-la-la…
dee-dee-dee-dee... ♪

PIP&POP: Hey, Bear.
We're going to the pond.

[indistinct chatter]

-Okay.
-[continues singing]

The approximate wait time

for an operator is just
a few seconds longer.

♪ La-la-la, dee... ♪
Hello,

Woodland Valley Moviephone, Lois
speaking. How can I help you?

Hi, Lois.

Oh, hello Bear!

Today's feature at the Woodland
Valley Cinema is the musical

-"Hare."
-Great...

Roger Egret says it "captures

an important moment
in bunny culture."

-Great, I...
-He gives it

a great big "wing up."

Great! Again!

Lois I'm interested
in buying seven tickets.

You're interested in
dying Kevin's crickets?

Well uh...that's fine I suppose,

but what color are they now,
Bear?

Have the crickets agreed to it?
And who's this Kevin anyway?

[sighs]

Uh...this is going
to take a while.

Why don't you go out back
to see how everyone is doing.

Hello?

Hello?

So...why's this game
called "William Don't Tell?"

Uhm, I'm not so sure about this.

Yeah...us neither...

Aw, come on. Don't
be such goody-goodies.

Hey, everybody. Oh! Hi Bear.

I've got a little
surprise for all of you...

-What? What's going on?
-What is it?

This afternoon we are
all going to...the Movies!

-My treat!
-Yaaaaayyy! Let's go!

Alright,
alright. Movies are cool.

We'll play William
don't Tell later.

William don't tell?

Thanks Annette. Let's
get some seats guys.

It's gonna be great.
Thanks, Bear.

How exciting! I love
bunnies! Wait for me.

Okay, does everybody
have what they need?

-Yeah, thank you, Bear!
-I'm fine.

[chuckles]

Oh!

Forgot my drink. Be right back.

Okay, Bear.

It's starting!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's so great
about "Hare" anyway?

It's... It's about a
very important moment

in um bunny, uh...culture.

[too loud] Huh.

Well, wanna see a good movie?

See "Clam Crazy
Otters From Mars."

Shhhsh.

♪ He's a hare! She's a hare! ♪

♪ Running free,
here and there! ♪

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

Borrring...

Shhhhhhhh!

Hey, man. These
flowers are really beautiful.

Yeah,
baby they're really groovy.

[pfft]

Who says "groovy" anymore?
Am I right? Am I right?

Rocko!

Yes. You shouldn't be making
so much noise, Rocko. Uh!

This movie's just a lot
of noise, if you ask me.

Rocko! Gosh!

Hey,
everybody enjoying the movie?

Oh, yeah,
Bear. We love the movie.

Right, everybody?
Everything is fine!

Right everybody!?

[music plays]

Treelo like music!

Hey, Bear. Thanks for
taking us to the movie!

Oh, yeah, thank you, Bear.

Oh, my pleasure.

'Course with me running back and
forth to the concession stand,

I wasn't really
following the story. But,

how did you all like the movie?

Oh, it was good, Bear.

Bunnies talented.

Yeah. Even though
we couldn't hear it.

-Yeah.
-What was that Ojo?

Oh, nothing, Bear. It sure
was nice of you to take us.

Oh my pleasure. So ah,
what are you all up to now?

Well, we could play the further
adventures of Snow Bear...

-Rock boy!
-Clammy!

...And Mr. Cheese!

[laughs]

What are those? Like ah,
dolls or something?

No, urn...Snow Bear's
a stuffed animal...

And the rest of us prefer
the term "action figures."

-Yeah. That's true.
-If you don't mind.

Hmm. That sounds like fun. I
wouldn't mind doing that myself.

[stomach growls]

Bear. We're hungry.

Oh well, okay, no problem. I'll
go put together a little snack.

[chuckles]

Hey, come on. Let's
go play out by the pond.

It's more fun that way. We can
pretend they're in the jungle!

Cool!

We'll get Clammy
and meet you out there!

Now...where did we put Clammy...

I believe you had
him last Pop...

Now hold up. Let
me get this straight.

You're really going to
play with a teddy bear,

a Rock,
a piece of cheese and a clam?

-Well, he's not just any clam...
-He's Clammy the Clam!

The clam that won't clam up!
[laughs]

Uh...I don't think so.

-No?
-Uh...let me see...no.

But I think I know
how we can have some

really cool fun. Now come on.

I don't like the sound of that.

Uhh...

[as Snow Bear] This
bridge is certainly dangerous,

Mr. Cheese and Rock Boy.

[as Rock Boy] Dangerous.

[as Mr. Cheese] Yes.
But it must be crossed,

if we are to defeat the
mean old Earl of Sandwich

and his mean plan
to smoosh the world

between two giant
slices of bread.

-Oooh that's good.
-Good pretending, Tutter...

Uh, thank you.

[chuckles]

This is gonna be great.

It's a game I just made up
called Grilling Mr. Cheese.

Grilling Mr. Cheese?

Yeah, we capture, Mr. Cheese,

put him under a
hot light and ask him

a bunch of questions
about what he's been up to.

My guess is, he's gonna
melt under the pressure.

-Rocko no!
-Aha!

What are you doing Rocko?

Come on Mr. Cheese I've
got some questions for you!

Hey!

That's not cool, Rocko. Let go.

Give me Mr. Cheese!
Rocko! Give him back!

Here's the snacks...
Hey, what's going?

Oh!

Everything is okay,
Bear. Just having some fun.

Right, guys!

ALL: Well...actually...

No! No! No-no-no-no and No!

I'm afraid it's all true.

Everybody is not having fun,
Rocko.

Yeah. In fact, it's kind of
turned into the opposite of fun.

One could say "un-fun."

Me? Un-fun?

Well. Okay, then forget it!

Forget all of you!

But...

Gosh, what happened? I
thought you were all having fun.

Well...don't get us wrong...
We love Rocko, Bear.

He's our cuzzen.

But I think he's not so
good at playing nice.

One might say "un-nice."

Yeah. He only wanted to
do what he wanted to do.

He hurt feelings.

And he wanted to
grill poor Mr. Cheese!

Gee. Well, I think we all
should talk to Rocko about this.

Why don't you all think about
what you want to say and

I'll go see if he's okay.

-Okay, Bear.
-All right Bear.

[inaudible]

Rocko?

Rocko?

Um... Hey...

Rocko?

Why don't you come out?

[crying]

Don't you want me to go away,
too?

Oh Rocko. Nobody
wants you to go away.

But you were there.

They said they didn't
want to play with me.

Uh, ya know, Rocko.

When Pip and Pop
told me about you,

they said you were
a quiet and shy.

Um...I hope you don't
mind my asking, um...

what happened?

Well, I used to be that way
when I was littler, Bear. But,

nobody would pay
any attention to me.

I just wanted them to like me,
that's all.

Oh Rocko...there's nothing wrong
with wanting people to like you

but maybe you're going about it,
the wrong way?

I don't know Bear...maybe...

[music stops]

So, you see, Rocko?

Um, if you want to make friends,
when you play...well maybe...

If you tried playing what
everyone else is playing

instead of making them
play what you want to.

Huh! I guess I just wanted
you to think I was cool.

I'm sorry you guys.

Oh, that's okay, Rocko.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Yeah Rocko, you can
just be yourself around us.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Well, I'll remember
that next time. But

you've probably had
enough Rocko for now.

Better catch that
train back home.

Wait...no...don't go...Rocko!

No, we don't want you to go!

Rocko, you can stay here
as long as you want to.

Yeah.

Well then,
how about a little "Go Fish?"

-Yeah!
-How nice.

Does that mean the
card game's back on?

Yeah,
I'm going to be the dealer.

Come on Mr. Cheese.

[music plays]

Wow. This was
someday wasn't it?

And we made a new friend. Rocko!

He rocks! [chuckles]

Hey! Let's tell Luna
all about it. Come on!

[music plays]

Ah! There's Luna now.

Hello, Luna.

Hello,
Bear. And how is everything?

Oh. Great.

We had a visit from Pip and
Pop's cousin, Rocko today.

How exciting! That
sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah...well...it
was...eventually.

You see, Rocko came on a little
strong at first, I'm afraid.

Hmm.

But I was really
proud of everyone.

We all talked,
and worked it out.

My, talking to Rocko and
telling him how they felt

certainly was grown up of them.

Yeah, and it made
Rocko feel better too.

Turns out, he just wanted
everyone to like him.

Uhm-hmm, it's hard to fit
in with others sometimes.

I've found that it's always
best just to be yourself.

Hmm. True. That's
what I did with you...

and we've been
friends ever since.

[laughs]

So, would you sing the
