Good tidings, my Fraggle family.

Yes! It's so good to see you.

-Yeah!
-Yeah, we've missed you!

Yes, I cannot measure my pleasure
to be back with yous.

Especially because
I come bearing such great news.

[Fraggles exclaiming]

-I'm excited.
-I'm excited too.

I'm excited three.

I'm excited Wembley. [chuckles]

I'm marginally interested.

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]

I don't know if y'all are ready to hear
what I've got to say,

so you're gonna have to prove it
and move with me this way.

[all] What is it?

[chuckles] All right, Fraggles.

Let me get to bean-spilling
about a top billing

-that you will find quite thrilling.
-[Fraggles murmur]

Tonight, in the Rock, for one night only...

Wow, this is some buildup.
Hard to believe it's gonna be worth it.

-...performing live is the electrifying...
-[band plays sting]

-...majestical... [grunts]
-[band plays sting]

-...momentous... [exclaims]
-[band plays sting]

...Mezzo.

-[band plays sting]
-[gasps] It was worth it!

[Mokey squealing, chuckling]

[screaming]

-Mezzo! Mezzo's performing here? [gasps]
-Yeah.

She's my favorite performer of all time!
I have all of her stuff!

[gasps] I'm gonna go get it!

I'll be right back. Mezzo!

Yeah, Mezzo will be performing tonight
in Concert Cave.

I love Concert Cave!

Wow, that was quick.

Mezzo's the best.

Whenever I feel small,
her songs make me feel... [singing] ...big!

Oh, yeah. Her music is so uplifting,
it makes me feel ten feet tall.

Um, maybe you feel taller
because you're standing on my foot?

-Ooh! Sorry, Boober. [chuckles]
-[chuckles] It's okay. I like Mezzo too!

Well, no time to waste!

Let's make sure
Concert Cave looks perfect for her.

Yeah, maybe worry less about how it looks
and much more about how it sounds.

-I got her lunch box!
-[shrieks]

Mezzo! Mezzo's here! Come on!

-Come on. Okay.
-[laughing]

Oh. Oh. Yeah. [cheers]

-[chuckling]
-Ah, Coop!

[chuckles] There he is!

How've you been, man? Tell me everything.

[chattering]

-Mmm. How's that book going?
-[chatters]

-[huffs]
-[Red] Good.

-[Mokey] Mm-hmm.
-[Fraggles chattering, laughing]

Huh. Wow. It looks amazing in here.

Hey, let's test out the view
from the seats, eh?

This spot's great.

This one's great too!

[gasps] This one, also great.

This one's... bad. Aw.

Just kidding! It's also great! [chuckles]

[chuckles] Oh, Cotterpin.

It feels so good
to be back tracking wind gusts.

-Uh-huh.
-Once we find them,

we can use our cool turbine
to make more power.

-Exciting!
-Mmm.

Maybe there'll be some gusties
on the other side of the Concert Cave.

-Yes. Oh, here we go! I love my job.
-[chuckles] Mm-hmm.

-Oh, honk the horn quick.
-Uh, okay.

-[horn honks]
-I really love my job!

[Gobo] Okay, okay, that's enough of that.

Let's make sure the stage looks good
for Mezzo, and...

-[insects buzzing]
-Hey, wait a minute.

Wha... Excuse me? Uh, swarm of bugs?

Hey, we've got
someone important coming in.

Uh, scooch, please.

Scooch. Scooch. Yeah. Um.

[groans]

Um... [clears throat]
Uh, excuse me, Doozers.

Uh, well,
since this isn't an active work site,

uh, it'd be great if you could just,
you know, clear out.

We were just passing through.

That is great,
and thanks for doing it quickly.

-Thank you. [sighs] Yep. Oh.
-[insects buzzing]

-Mmm.
-Bugs again? [sighs, grunting]

Gobo, maybe the bugs just wanna
watch the show.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, but they keep getting in the way.

[grunting]

Come on, bugs! Move! Out of here!

Now. Go. Go. Go, go, go.

Bye-bye. See ya. Go. Thank you.

Yikes.

Okay, Sprock. [sighs] Grab a leash.

[Sprocket humming]

Ooh, chic.

All the dogs on our walk will admire it

but not think you're showing off,
you know?

[insect buzzing]

[gasps, barking, whimpering]

[clicks tongue] Oh. It's just a bee.

-You're not allergic. We can go around it.
-[whimpering continues]

Okay. [scoffs] Really? Because of a bee?

[whining]

Buddy, you're covering your own eyes.
The bee can still see you.

-[yelps, barking, whimpering]
-Oh! Okay.

[chuckles]

So exciting.
The energy in here is electric!

-[laughs]
-[mumbles]

Red! It's good to see you!

You too, Manti! [chuckles]

[panting] Welcome, everyone!

Take your seats, take your seats. Yeah.
Mezzo's about to begin.

Any minute now. [chuckles]

[stammers] Oh, Barry Blueberry!
I didn't know you were presenting tonight.

Mmm? Not tonight, mmm.
Just here as a fan.

-[humming]
-Oh. Yeah. Makes sense.

Oh, boy. What do you think
she's gonna play first?

-Maybe, uh, "Clap Slap, Shimmy Snap..."
-Ooh.

...or "Wiggle Wiggle Baloobius Drop"?

-I like that song, but it's very serious.
-Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Good evening, sweets, savories and sour.

Oh, that's me. Yeah, hello.

Tell me, who's ready
for the most groove-tacular performance

the Rock has ever heard?

[laughs] Oh, I'm so excited!

I'm gonna cover my eyes
until the music starts.

Without further ado, you know what to do.

-Clap your hands, everybody in the stands.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah!

-It's the one, the only, Mezzo!
-[crowd cheering]

[dramatic music playing]

[cheering, laughing]

[music distorts, stops]

-[feedback whines]
-[crowd groans]

[crowd member] Where's Mezzo?

How does she look? [panting]

Is she looking at me?
[whispering] I can feel it.

Good job getting them "strawbaberries"
growing again, Son.

-[chuckles]
-But why are they all so small?

-Ooh.
-I want them to be bigger!

As big as my grand pa pa's head.

-Biggest Gorg head in history.
-[chuckles]

Had to hold it with his hands
when he walked.

Oh, you know, my salty butter baby,
you never go in that gardening shed.

Maybe there's something in there that
could help you grow the berries bigger.

[chuckles] Okay, little sweet cute.

What do you say we leave the gardening
to Gorgs named Pa and Junior, huh?

-[chuckles]
-[Ma Gorg gasps]

-[grumbling]
-[Pa Gorg] Oh, boy. That's a harsh look.

-[grumbling continues]
-This is chilling. Um...

[clicks tongue, scoffs]

[sighs]

So, um, shall we check out the shed?

Yeah, I think that's a great idea.

-[chuckles] Watch your step.
-[Pa Gorg] Oh, my.

Mezzo is missing.
We need to figure out what's going on.

-Yeah.
-Well, maybe she's just late.

Aren't musicians famously
on their own schedules?

Actually, we're very punctual.

-Yeah, we're almost always on time.
-Oh.

Maybe she fell into a crevice.
And then the crevice took her far away.

And then she changed her name
and decided she was done with singing.

-[Wembley gasps]
-Forever.

Oh, no.

-I've seen it happen.
-[Jamdolin] Mmm.

Or perhaps our eyes aren't telling us
what we need to hear.

Oh, what a mystery!

Mystery? This sounds like a case for...

[grunts]

...Inspector Red.

[Fraggles laugh]

-I've gotten pretty quick, huh? Oh, wait.
-[Mokey] Mmm.

[grunts] Forgot my magnifying glass

-on the first pop-out.
-Ah.

I don't think now is the time
for Inspector Red.

Hey, it's always time for Inspector Red.

-Oh, hey, that's a good catch phrase.
-[Mokey] Mmm.

You know, as the number one Mezzo-head,
I'll go find her.

You know, she probably got lost
in Confusing Turn Cave.

It's not just a silly name.
It's actually confusing in there.

-Oh, yeah.
-Just make sure the crowd stays put.

When Mezzo gets here, there's gotta be
an audience to perform for!

-Uh-huh. [sighs]
-[stammers]

[crowd member 1]
When's the show starting?

[crowd member 2] I'm bored.

-What's taking so long?
-[crowd booing]

I'm leaving!

Actually, I don't have anywhere else
to go, but I am annoyed!

[Gluey Rudey]
Yeah, me too! I've had enough of this!

Whoa. Everyone, act like a stalactite
and hang on!

Mezzo will be here imminently
after some opening acts.

Such as...

-I can grow a beard!
-Oh, oh, me too!

Not tonight. Saving the gift.

-Ah! Storyteller!
-Yeah?

[Jamdolin]
Get on up here and tell us a story.

On it.

[clears throat] Yeah, how about
a little spoken word? [mumbles]

Okay, that could be good.

Fraggle. Rock.

Lost. Sock.

-Did she say "sock"?
-[Mokey] Mm-hmm.

-Ooh. I like this.
-[Jamdolin grunts]

Icy who?

Icy no.

-Icy Joe!
-[chuckles] That's me.

-[chuckles]
-Icy sock.

This is fascinating.
What time does this end? Do you know?

[chomping]

Mezzo!

Wow.

Mezzo!

-You call me?
-[exclaims]

No, uh, I was looking for Mezzo.
Uh, who are you?

I'm Little Rago.

I thought you were mispronouncing
my name, you know.

Mezzo. Rago. Mezzo. Rago.
[chuckles] You hear it.

-Ah. Sure. [chuckles]
-Hmm.

Yeah, uh... Oh. [clears throat] Uh...

Mezzo? Mezzo?

Oh, come on.
I just need some kind of clue.

[Red] Did someone say "clue"?

Huh?

-[screams, sighs]
-[chuckles]

Oh, come on, Red.

I told you I could find Mezzo myself.
I don't need Inspector Red.

Oh, fine. I'll leave
if you win a game of Rock, Radish, Pond.

Oh, you're on, Red Fraggle!

-[Red chuckling]
-[chuckles] Yeah. [chuckles]

-Okay. Okay. Here we go. Ready?
-[chuckles] Okay. Okay.

[clears throat]

[both] And rock, radish, pond!

-[stammers, groans]
-[laughs]

-Rock beats radish!
-Oh, no way!

[bystander] She's right, dude.

Trust me. I know all things rock.

[both gasp] Mezzo?

-[Red gasps]
-Oh. Oh, wow. Wow.

Well, it... it's such an honor to meet you.

Uh, my name's Togo Fraggle,
and I'm a "susician" too...

I mean, I'm Gobo Fraggle,
and I'm a musician too.

And... Where are you?

Down here.

-Huh? [gasps]
-[gasps]

[both] Mezzo?

The one and only.

[Red, Gobo gasp]

-Meet my band.
-Hey.

-[mumbles]
-Hey.

-Gobo...
-[gasps]

...those are the bugs
you shooed out of Concert Cave earlier.

Yeah, what was up with that?

Well, uh, your voice is so loud,
I didn't think you'd be so small.

If I'd known it was you,
I never would have done that. [chuckles]

So, if you knew I was an important singer,
you wouldn't have treated me that way?

Exactly. So, let's get back
to Concert Cave for the show, eh?

You know what?
I don't feel like performing anymore.

Wa... Wait...

[both gasping, sighing]

What just happened?

Huh. Well, don't look at me.
You kicked Inspector Red off the case.

-Wha... Yeah, but I... But she...
-[scoffs]

Yeah, but... [groans]

-[whimpering]
-[clicks tongue] Oh, Sprocky.

-You can't stay under there forever.
-[whimpering]

[clicks tongue] Aw.

I guess I could put your food
and water down there,

and you could technically stay under there
for quite a while.

-But I would miss you.
-[groans]

So, how about I try to make bees feel
a little less scary to you?

[grunts]

-I brought snacks.
-[gasps]

So, you know honey.

Sticky. Sweet.
Cartoon bears can't get enough of it.

-Well, guess what? Bees make it.
-[gasps]

Bees carry pollen to fertilize plants,
which give us flowers and fruit.

[yelps]

Did you know that bees make one
out of every three bites of food possible?

-[exclaims]
-[scoffs]

Without bees, the whole food chain
would just fall apart.

They may be small,
but they make a huge impact.

[exclaims]

Kind of like how your fear of bees
may seem small to me,

but to you it's a really big deal.

-[whines]
-[clicks tongue] I'm sorry, Sprock.

I shouldn't have dismissed your feelings.

[gasps] Ooh. I have an idea.

[yelps, pants]

[sniffs]

[exclaiming]

-[sighs]
-I don't understand. Why did Mezzo leave?

I mean, doesn't she wanna perform?

I don't know.

[stammers] But whatever you do,
don't look to your Uncle...

-Matt! My Uncle Matt. Great idea, Red!
-[groans]

-Aw, his postcards always help. [chuckles]
-[sighing]

"Dear Nephew Gobo,

I was out on a walk
with some new colleagues..."

Hello. [grunts]

[Matt] ...when I stumbled upon
an extremely serious situation.

[gasps]

It was obvious what was going on here.

The Silly Creatures were trying
to cool a dangerously hot rock

-by tossing it through a cooling loop.
-[player exclaims]

This rock was hot.
They could barely hold on to it.

[gasps] Careful, young rock tamers!

[Matt] But the cooling loop didn't work.

It was still so hot

they had to slap it against the ground
just to get some relief.

Ooh. Ooh.

[Matt]
These rock coolers needed some help,

and I knew exactly what to do.

Give me the hot rock.
I will... I-I will protect you.

I'm open, I'm open! Give me the rock!

[players chattering]

[Matt]
They discounted me because of my size.

[chuckles] But that was a mistake.

[Matt] Not today, hottie!

[yells]

[grunts]

[players exclaiming]

Ah. No problemo, friends! [chuckles]

What are you doing? [stammers] What the...

[yelps]

"The rock tamers even gave me
a friendship bracelet

as a token of their appreciation."

Oh. [chuckles]

"Use it as a reminder to never dismiss
anyone based on how they look.

Big love from your little Uncle Matt."

-Oh, wow. I-I get it now.
-[gasps]

Come on, Red.
I have something I need to do. Yeah.

Did someone say Little Rago?

Oh, no,
I said I have something I need to do.

Ah, to do, Rago, to do, Rago.
[chuckles] Easy to mix up.

[clears throat]
Well, anyway, call me if you need me.

Well, I... We... Uh...

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

[Junior Gorg grunts, chuckles]

What are you two up to over here?

Just the queen I wanted to see.

-We looked in the shed, like you told us...
-[Ma Gorg] Mm-hmm.

...and we found this bag
of something called Gorg-A-Max.

The package had a huge warning label on it
that Pa said we didn't have time to read.

Well, that's 'cause
we got too much work to do.

This here Gorg-A-Max is gonna make
the "strawbaberries" bigger

and get rid of everything else.

Why, it's perfect.

-[Junior Gorg chuckles]
-Oh, I don't know if that's a good idea.

You are right, honey.
It does sound like a good idea.

-Mm-hmm.
-I'll never discount you again, dear.

Yep, yep, yep.

-[gasps]
-[Pa Gorg] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[Ma Gorg] Oh!

-Come on, Sprock.
-[Sprocket panting]

-Aw, you got this, buddy.
-[barks]

-My baby is the most handsome boy.
-[pants, barks]

And all we had to do was
make room for your tail.

-Mmm. [gasps] Aw.
-[whining]

Hey, don't get any ideas.
We're not adopting it, Sprocket.

[groans]

All right, let's walk.
We have a lot of dog friends to say hi to.

And a lot of dog owners
who will forever know me

as the lady who walks her dog
in a full beekeeper suit.

Hmm.

[panting, barks]

Ooh, rhythm! Yeah, the ribbon!

Yeah, ribbon! Rhythm! Ribbon!

[panting] The chaos! The chaos! The chaos!

The sensation!

[panting]

Art.

-[scattered applause]
-Mm-hmm.

-[sighs]
-Mm-hmm. That was Wembley and Mokey,

doing something I'm gonna think about
for a long time.

[Wembley, Mokey gasp, laughing]

-We just made that up.
-Yeah, we really tapped into something.

Next up, we've got someone else
coming to the stage,

like, uh...

-Oh! Gobo.
-[Gobo] Hi. [sighs]

-Oh.
-[sighing, grunting]

Uh, hi, everybody. Um... [clears throat]
So, uh, Mezzo...

[cheering, applauding]

Yeah, yeah. She's really amazing

and... and she deserves
to hear your love for her,

but, well, because of me,

she, uh... [clears throat] ...isn't coming.

[gasping]

You've got to be kidding me!

Well, I'm so sorry.

You see, I dismissed her
and her friends because they were small.

[groans] Gobo, Gobo, Gobo.

Yeah.
And I... I didn't do that just to Mezzo.

-I did it to the Doozers.
-Mmm.

-I'm really sorry, Doozers.
-[both] Oh.

-[Gobo] I was dismissive of Red.
-And Inspector Red.

We never would've found Mezzo
without her magnifying glass.

Mm-hmm.

I'm so sorry for messing up the concert.

I just wish I could apologize
to Mezzo and her friends.

Not because she's a famous singer
but because she's somebody.

And I treated her like a nobody.
And that's never okay.

-[Barry] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-[crowd clamoring]

-[dramatic pop music playing]
-Huh? [gasps] Mezzo!

[crowd gasping]

Uh.

[crowd member] There's a stage!

[crowd exclaims]

[Gobo gasps] Oh!

[crowd cheering]

Mezzo! Over here! [laughs]

[gasps] Mezzo, I'm so sorry.

And I don't expect you to play,

but I'm glad you came back
so I could tell you that.

And, well, I wanna give you
this friendship bracelet

that my Uncle Matt sent me.

[crowd] Aw.

Aw. Well, this is way too big for me,

but I'll wear it as a friendship skirt.

And I think I will play.

-[crowd cheering, applauding]
-Yes! Yes!

Wow!

You see, apologies are a great way
to start restoring things.

And you know what gets us
the rest of the way?

What?

-Music.
-[crowd cheering]

Yeah. [chuckles]

Oh, I hear that.

-[cheering, exclaiming]
-[Wembley] Absolutely. Yep, yep, yep.
