♪ Hi, hi, hi ♪

I'm Annie.

My friends and I are playing
catch with Rocket.

[Leo] Way to go, Rocket!

Rocket has so much energy.

He likes to play games all day long.

Do you like to play games?

I thought so.

[Rocket dinging]

What was that?

That's the sound Rocket's tummy makes
when he gets hungry.

[Rocket dinging]

He sounds really hungry.

Come on. Let's go get Rocket
something to eat.

Great idea, Annie.

Rocket gets his energy
from eating healthy foods.

Do you want to know what Rocket's
favorite healthy food is?

It's...Rocket soup!

[Rocket dinging]

Ha ha ha ha!
Rocket loves rocket soup.

How do you make rocket soup, Annie?

Easy.

You put cheese, peas,
and musical jumping beans

in this big pot and you stir it up.

But we don't have any cheese.

And we don't have any peas.

And we don't have any musical
jumping beans.

Uh-oh.
If we don't have the ingredients,

we can't make rocket soup.

[Rocket dinging]

[June]
But Rocket sounds really hungry.

Don't worry, Rocket.

I know where we can get
the ingredients.

We can get cheese
from our friend Little Mouse.

He always has the best cheese.

We can get peas from our friend
The Good Knight.

He grows the freshest vegetables
in his castle garden.

And we can get yummy
musical jumping beans

from our friend Joey, the kangaroo.

So, if we get
the ingredients from our friends,

we can make rocket soup.

[Rocket dinging]

Uh-oh.
Check out Rocket's hungry meter.

He's getting hungrier.

[June]
We have to hurry.

We're going to need your help.

Will you help us
get all of the ingredients

to make rocket soup?

Great!

We've got a mission!

We're going to get the ingredients
for rocket soup.

Let the mission... begin!

Buckle your seatbelts!

[all]
Seatbelts buckled!

Prepare for blast-off!

We need to give Rocket
a lot of power.

Put your hands on your lap
and pat with us!

Pat, pat, pat, pat,

pat, pat, pat, pat.

Faster!

[rapidly] Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Now raise your arms
as high as you can

and say, "blast-off!"

[all]
Blast-off!

[June]
Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

[Annie]
We're off to get the ingredients

to make rocket soup.

We sure need a lot of ingredients
to make rocket soup.

How are we going
to remember them all?

Simple. I made up a rocket soup song.

♪ Mouse has cheese ♪

♪ The Knight has peas ♪

♪ And Joey has the jumping beans ♪

♪ That's what we need ♪

♪ To make the rocket soup ♪

Nice song, Annie!

Brava!

So the first ingredient
we need is cheese.

Do you remember
who has the cheese?

Little Mouse. Right.

Go that way, Rocket.

Our friend Little Mouse
lives in Washington, DC.

["Humoresque #7" playing]

[Quincy]
Whoa!

Little Mouse lives at Kennedy Center.

[instruments playing]

[Annie]
Ooh, look. An orchestra.

There are lots of different kinds
of instruments in the orchestra.

[Quincy]
There's the percussion section...

the string section...

the woodwind section...

and the brass section.

But I don't see Little Mouse
and his cheese.

Little Mouse, where are you?!

Do you see Little Mouse?

Yes! There he is, on the xylophone.

Look, Little Mouse
has a chunk of cheese

for our rocket soup.

[June] But he's having
a hard time carrying it.

[Annie] That big cheese
is too heavy for Little Mouse.

[Quincy] Uh-oh.
The cheese fell inside that oboe.

[oboe plays]

[June]
Little Mouse is going to jump inside

the oboe to get the cheese.

[Quincy] Be careful, Little Mouse.

[June]
Oh, no.

Little Mouse and the cheese
are stuck inside the oboe.

Don't worry, Little Mouse.
I'll get you out of the oboe.

I promise.

But how, Quincy?

I can play the oboe
to get Little Mouse unstuck.

If I play the oboe loud enough,

it will push out Little Mouse
and the cheese.

[June]
Good plan, Quincy.

[Leo]
Try it.

[playing oboe]

It's working.

Little mouse is starting
to come out of the oboe.

But I'm going to need your help
to get him all the way out.

Hold up your oboe like me

and wiggle your fingers
to press the keys.

Now blow into the double reed.

[playing]

He's almost out of the oboe.

Play really loudly.

Fortissimo!

We did it.

We got Little Mouse and the cheese
out of the oboe.

Thanks, Little Mouse.

You were very brave.

Now we've got the first ingredient
for rocket soup.

Mmm, that cheese sure looks yummy.

[Rocket dinging]

Uh-oh, I hear
Rocket's tummy grumbling.

[Leo]
Come on, team!

-[beeping]
-Oh, no!

Rocket's getting even hungrier.

Don't worry, Rocket.

We're going to get
the rest of the ingredients

so we can make you rocket soup.

[Rocket dinging]

[kids]
Blast-off!

♪ Mouse has cheese ♪

♪ The Knight has peas ♪

♪ And Joey has the jumping beans ♪

♪ That's what we need ♪

♪ To make the rocket soup ♪

So, we got the cheese
from Little Mouse.

What's the next ingredient
we need for rocket soup?

Peas! Right.

And who has the peas?

[fanfare plays]

The Good Knight.

Yes! He grows delicious peas
in his castle garden.

Rocket,
to The Good Knight's castle.

["Humoresque #7" playing]

[Annie]
Do you see The Good Knight?

Yes! There he is,
in the castle garden.

Hey there, Good Knight.

Can we have some peas
from your garden?

We need them to make rocket soup.

[thunder]

Uh-oh, that rain cloud
is raining on The Good Knight.

[slow music plays]

[Annie]
He's moving slower and slower.

Oh, no. The Good Knight's
suit of armor is getting all rusty.

[Leo]
He can't get to the pea plant now.

He can't move!

[suit of armor creaking]

Don't worry, Good Knight.

I can do my trusty rusty dance.

It will help you
move your whole body again.

But I'm going to need your help
to get The Good Knight unstuck.

First, you move your head,

then your elbows,

then one leg,

and then the other.

Do it with me!

♪ Head and your elbows ♪

♪ One leg, the other ♪

♪ Legs do the trusty rusty dance ♪

It's working!

The good knight
is getting closer to the peas.

But we need to dance faster.

♪ Head and your elbows ♪

♪ One leg, the other ♪

♪ Let's do the trusty rusty dance ♪

Come on,
he's almost at the pea plant.

Dance even faster.

♪ Head and your elbows ♪

♪ One leg, the other ♪

♪ Let's do the trusty rusty dance ♪

We did it!

The Good Knight
can move his whole body again.

[Quincy]
All right!

Thanks for doing
the trusty rusty dance with me.

[Annie]
Look, look, look!

He's picking peas
for the rocket soup.

Thanks, Good Knight.

These peas sure look tasty.

[Rocket dinging]

They're going to taste great
in the rocket soup.

[Rocket dinging]

Uh-oh.

What's that sound?

It's Rocket's tummy.

Right.

And it's grumbling really loudly.

[June]
Let's go check his hungry meter.

[June] Oh, no.
Rocket's getting incredibly hungry.

Don't worry, Rocket.

We're going
to get the last ingredient

so we can make you rocket soup.

I promise.

[Rocket dinging]

♪ Mouse has cheese ♪

♪ The Knight has peas ♪

♪ And Joey has the jumping beans ♪

♪ That's what we need ♪

♪ To make the rocket soup ♪

We got the cheese and the peas.

What's the last ingredient
we need for rocket soup?

Musical jumping beans, yes.

And who has the jumping beans?

Joey the kangaroo!

Joey lives in Australia.

Yeah! Head for Australia, Rocket.

["Humoresque #7" playing]

[Annie]
Look, look, look.

There's Joey the kangaroo.

Hiya, Joey.

Joey, can we have
some of your musical jumping beans

for our rocket soup?

Uh-oh.

Joey can't find
his musical jumping beans.

Where are Joey's jumping beans?

Yes, there they are,
on that big rock.

[Leo] Oh, no. They're jumping away.

[June]
They're jumping into the sky!

[Quincy]
They're jumping into outer space.

[Annie]
They're jumping all the way to...

[all]
The planet Jupiter?!

Oh, no.

But we need those jumping beans.

We can't make
the rocket soup without them.

[Rocket dinging]

And Rocket's getting super hungry.

[Leo]
Look, Joey's going to try

to get the jumping beans back.

[Annie] He's jumping to Jupiter.

-[Leo] Go, Joey!
-[Annie] You can do it!

Ooh, be careful, Joey.

There are big icy comets in space.

Big icy comets. Yikes!

We've got to help Joey

get to the jumping beans
without running into a comet.

Don't worry.

I know how to help him.

["Humoresque #7" playing]

We can conduct Joey
to bounce on the asteroids,

all the way to Jupiter.

Like this!

["Humoresque #7" playing]

But when you see a big icy comet,

we need to stop conducting

so Joey will stop bouncing.

That's it!

Now get your baton ready.

[tapping]

Conduct with me!

Bounce, bounce bounce, bounce.

Uh--oh. Here comes a big icy comet.

Stop conducting!

All right.
We stopped conducting just in time.

Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

Oh, no. Here comes another icy comet.

Stop conducting.

All right!

Now conduct.

An icy comet! Stop!

Joey is almost to Jupiter.

Conduct!

Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

He made it!

You were spectacular.

Yay!

You helped Joey jump
all the way to Jupiter.

And you helped keep him safe
from all those big icy comets.

Thanks for conducting with me.

[Annie]
Joey got the musical jumping beans.

[Leo]
Thanks for your help, Joey.

You were very brave.

Now do we have all the ingredients
we need to make rocket soup?

Yes!

We've got the cheese, the peas,

and the musical jumping beans.

[Rocket dinging]

Uh-oh.

What was that sound?

Rocket's tummy! Right.

Let's look at his hungry meter.

[June] Oh, no! Rocket's
about to have a hungry emergency.

If he gets too hungry,
he'll run out of energy.

We need to hurry and get home
so we can make the rocket soup.

[Rocket dinging]

Right, Rocket.

There's only one way
to get home in time.

We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go.

Super fast!

Will you help me
fly Rocket super fast?

Great!

Super fast!

[Kids]
Super fast!

["Humoresque #7" playing]

To get to super fast,

we have to start at adagio.

Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

Moderato!

Now pat the beat
on your tummy, a little faster!

Allegro!

Now pat the beat
on your shoulders even faster!

Presto!

Now reach your arms to the sky
and shake your whole body!

We did it!
We're flying... super fast!

[June]
Hooray! We made it home.

[Leo] We've got to hurry
and make rocket soup.

What's the first ingredient
for rocket soup?

Cheese. Right.

What's the second ingredient
for rocket soup?

Peas. Yes.

And what's the last ingredient?

Musical jumping beans. Right!

Now help me stir
the ingredients together.

Hold your spoon and stir with me!

He slurped it all up.

[Leo]
He's not hungry anymore.

Did the rocket soup
give Rocket energy?

Yes!

Healthy rocket soup gave Rocket
lots and lots of energy!

[Rocket dinging]

Now he has energy to play
with us all day long.
