[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's time to play come on captain hoola

let's welcome the day

where's that cedar ready to go

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control

it's fun

[Applause]

till you find yourself

[Applause]

[Music]

space the endless void unfolds her

secrets as oh the endless void unfolds

hello

mom i told you i'm working

i announce

yes the one you gave me okay bye

[Music]

ah endless boy blah blah blah secrets

blah blah blah blah blah ah yes

into

tomorrow yeah

thank you very much

thought you were gonna join me on the

zilla scooter

uh can't right now zeter i'm worried

about dark truder

why we haven't seen a sign of him in

weeks

exactly a sure sign he's planning

something

mr worrywort

[Music]

[Applause]

it's here tracy finally

oh let me guess your diploma from rodeo

clown school no

it's my monster in a box

i am very hungry yeah i was prepared for

this track see these monsters in a pots

are known for their huge appetites here

you are a nice bunch of donuts

very special donuts

[Music]

and down there

is zula where you'll find the biggest

tastiest donut of all

now go down to zula and eat that donut

you see traxie he'll think the zulu

patrol spaceship is a giant donut and

gobble it up without their ship the zulu

patrol will be out of my hair for good

oh yeah they'll have to find it first

hold on a second wig before we run in

fear let's investigate

there's your monster

he's just a tiny awesome possum

well no wonder wig reacted the way he

did that shadow would scare anyone

well not me but most anyone

[Music]

well he's gone now

and so is his shadow

where shadows come from anyway malto

an excellent question and i think in

this case a demonstration is worth a

thousand words when we are outdoors

shadows are caused by an object blocking

the sun's light like my hand

[Music]

or that tree

oh you wizzy

of course when we're indoors and the

lights are on anything blocking that

light can cast a shadow as well just

like the sun does

okay

but there's one thing i don't get the

zazzum blossom was so tiny but its

shadow looks so big that's because it's

morning and in the morning shadows tend

to be big now if we saw the same shadow

in the middle of the day it would have

been smaller and if we saw it at the end

of the day it would have been big again

so they changed size

oh yes

let's check the multopenia

at different times of day the sun

appears to be in different parts of the

sky and that affects how big or small

the shadow is hey whizzy you know the

best thing about shadows

shadow puppets

we're making a double trunk zulafen

[Music]

hey our shadow puppet disappeared

that's probably because the cloud has

blocked the sun but if we wait a few

seconds i'm sure it's that's not a cloud

[Music]

i'll handle this

we welcome you to zula why have you come

hello i come for smack yeah you chase

giant donut giant donut what are you

talking about it looks like this yeah

in my tummy

who gave you that bone devon we talking

hair is a big donut down here for me to

eat you betcha

it's after our spaceship

this is a job for the zula patrol

[Music]

hold it hmm

[Music]

you guys help me out

[Applause]

[Music]

strange happy feeling sleepy

okey-dokey i catch 40 wings then go eat

big doughnut by emini

[Music]

oh

me too

malto not you

okay g*ng we've bought a little time now

i've got an idea

[Applause]

we can bake a donut that looks like

our ship

one sack of donut flour

now we need to add the water

[Music]

time to meet it

we did it we made a donut that looks

just like our spaceship

that's because it is our spaceship the

donut is over there oh well that's still

pretty good

the monster's awake and heading this way

then it's too late as soon as he sees

our ship he's gonna eat it not if he

sees the donut first

[Music]

[Music]

by casting a shadow of the donut we were

able to draw the monster in this

direction

[Music]

by jingo somebody knows their donuts

better get some to take home you betcha

sorry fresh out hmm

maybe baldy guy got more on his ship

yeah

i go check

[Applause]

[Music]

hey you know what after all this i've

got an urge to make some real donuts so

what'll it be

chocolate slime filled or buttermilk

pond

[Music]

somewhere sludge emini

no

stop it

there are no donuts here

hey mr monster be sure to check his

closet he's got donuts shaped like shoes

not my

[Music]

and so as night begins to fall upon zula

all is well in the galaxy once again

thanks to

the zula patrol

and you too mom

[Music]

all right everyone it's time for our

multi-moment

question who's always with you on a

sunny day whoa that's right your shadow

where do shadows come from anyway

an excellent question and i think in

this case a demonstration is worth a

thousand words when we are outdoors

shadows are caused by an object blocking

the sun's light like my hand

or that tree

oh you wizzy of course when we're

indoors and the lights are on anything

blocking that light can cast a shadow as

well just like the sun does

shadows can change size in the morning

shadows tend to be big

[Music]

in the middle of the day they're smaller

at the end of the day shadows get bigger

again

[Music]

and then after dinner my shadow gets

gets a lot bigger

but that's got nothing to do with the

sun

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

blue

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

space and more space there's so much of

it waiting to be explored there are

stars waiting to be charted planets

waiting to be named and asteroids

waiting to be

say what are you asteroids waiting for

the story to start

well then shall we

[Music]

presto chango

[Music]

please tell me that won't happen during

the real performance goodness no our

talent show is an important part of the

zoolayin festival of the sun

i'll make certain my magic act is

perfect

great i'll lead off the show by singing

then zeder will perform her amazing

laser dart routine

marcel shh

universally beloved juggling mime you

trying out for our talent show mr sheesh

[Music]

well uh that's very unusual mr shh i've

never seen anyone juggle just one ball

and then drop it do you uh do you do any

other tricks

[Music]

well that's more like it

thanks for auditioning marcel

maybe next year

outrageous dark trooper rejected by

those do-gooders it's all that ball's

fault

it's not fair

okay

fine if i can't be in their zooland

festival of the sun i'll ruin it that

ought to be easy just go ahead and

perform your act again

where's the best place to park a

spaceship at a parking meter

why does this wig you're in my light

again you're ruining our act sorry

that's the third time you're just

jealous of me getting laughs well why do

you get all the funny lines it's not

fair

oh my it appears we're having a total

solar eclipse

what's a solar eclipse

let's check the multipedia first of all

eclipse means to cover up

[Music]

let me explain a solar eclipse by

showing you what happens on earth for

example

a solar eclipse happens when the moon

passes between earth and the sun

covering up the sun as you can see when

it covers or blocks the sun it creates a

shadow

and darkness of course sometimes the

moon actually appears to cover up the

sun completely when it does it's called

a total solar eclipse now isn't that

beautiful

of course you should never look at the

sun without the proper scientific

protection you could go blind

[Music]

usually during a total solar eclipse the

sun is only completely blocked for a few

minutes

what concerns me about this total solar

eclipse is that the sun has been

completely blocked by the moon for a

long time we need to go talk to the moon

this is a job for the zula patrol

why are you blocking the sun's light oh

come on you know why it's as plain as

the nose on my face no we don't know why

well yeah

it's because

it's because

i'm sorry what was the question again

[Laughter]

why are you blocking the sun's light uh

weren't you listening it's because i'm

jealous of all the attention the sun's

getting of course but everyone loves you

mr moon they do wow i wonder if i can

get my autograph

wait a second i heard you're putting on

a big festival for the sun and that no

one gives a hoot about the moon

that's not true who told you that

uh who told me what that no one cares

about the moon they don't this is an

outrage

talk through to said i should block the

sun's light and ruin your old festival

dark truder of course miss the moon you

can't just stay there forever

sure i can what's the worst that can

happen

i know

tiny beings from another world can land

in my ear and take up yodeling

or not

this is getting us nowhere we have to

convince the moon that we love him hmm

and now leading off zula's first ever

moon festival that master of mystery the

magnificent moto

well i'll put a stop to that the show

must not go on

[Music]

incoming

take the zulu racer and intercept him

make sure he stays away until the show's

over

but be careful because of this eclipse

the racer won't have much solar

don't power

i went for this

[Music]

so she wants to put me in a tic-tac-toe

day well two can play that game

[Music]

wow

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

we're not going anywhere yeah

we'll see about that

i've got trudeau

but i'm losing power because of the

total solar eclipse you're in the moon's

shadow

your solar powered systems won't work

much longer without the sun's light

we've got to do something fast

presenting the zulu patrol salute to our

pal

the moon

oh

can i watch

[Music]

[Music]

oh i'd rather see the moon than eat a

wrinkly prune or wrestle a baboon it's

true

i could dance with a raccoon or paint

myself maroon but there's no moon i love

as much as you oh

speed it up

i could sing about you craters your eyes

like two potatoes to me you'll always be

my favorite moon i told the alligators

and 27 waiters there's nothing i like

better than the moon

i can sing about your craters your eyes

like two potatoes to me you'll always be

my favorite moon unless i told the

alligators 27 waiters there's nothing i

like better than the moon i said there's

nothing i like better than the moon

[Music]

you like me you really like me

i guess it was silly of me to get so

jealous

i am sorry i'll just move over and let

the sun shine through

one thing though

anyone else here yodeling

[Music]

i'll be back you zula patrollers

okay wizzy and wig you're back on

after seeing how jealous the moon was in

the sun i'm gonna try my best not to let

jealousy come between us again

so how do you know when saturn has been

taking a bath because he leaves a ring

in the tub

and so the zulu patrol has once again

hey wait a minute i didn't get that last

joke stop i'm not going anywhere until

somebody explains that joke to me

[Music]

i couldn't wait to see how that story

turned out and i was in it

all right everyone it's time for our

motto moment let's talk about eclipses

well first of all eclipse means to cover

up

let me explain a solar eclipse by

showing you what happens on earth for

example

a solar eclipse happens when the moon

passes between earth and the sun

covering up the sun as you can see when

it covers or blocks the sun it creates a

shadow

sometimes the moon actually appears to

cover up the sun completely

when it does it's called a total solar

eclipse now isn't that beautiful

[Music]

of course you should never look at the

sun without the proper scientific

protection you could go blind a solar

eclipse is a fascinating phenomenon and

the best part is there may be one coming

soon to a planet near you
