We'll take in the world

With a whole new perspective

Our small and mighty hero

We'll find the answers

Let's go

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective ♪

MIRA: The case of

the cunning chameleons.

MIRA: Hi, Neel.

-How're you Prince?

-Prince Neel!

Hey, Mira.

Hi, Chikku. Hi, Mikku.

You guys are just in time

to see my new invention.

I call it the high comfort.

-Catchy name.

-It looks fancy.

Actually, it's simple, Chikku.

You step inside this box,

grab the handles and start bouncing.

Wow!

That's amazing!

(NEEL SCREAMS)

Heads up, people.

Got it.

-Here you go.

-Thanks, Mira.

I guess, I've more work to do.

MIRA: Whoops!

(PURRING)

Neel, Do you have a new helper today?

I do.

That's Chippy, my chameleon friend.

Wait. Where?

Prince Neel. Don't panic,

but Chippy is gone.

Guys, Chippy is a chameleon.

Sometimes chameleons

can change color

to match things around them.

See? Right now,

she's the same color as the wall.

That's why we can't see her.

Oh! I bet Chippy would be

great in going undercover.

(CHUCKLES) I don't know

about that, Chikku.

But she definitely loves

playing hide and seek.

Look, she just turned green, again.

I wish I could change colors.

Me too!

I would change to sparkly.

Come here, Chippy.

I have something special for you.

(PURRING)

Chippy really loves jasmine flowers.

So I used some to make her this crown.

Mmm I love the smell of jasmine.

-(SNIFFING) Ah!

-It smells pretty!

(PURRING)

Listen to her purr. You are so cute.

I think she likes her flower crown.

I think she likes us.

Ah! There she goes again.

Whoa!

It's really hard for me

to get any work done, with Chippy here.

Well then,

Prince Neel, it is our duty to help you.

Mikku and I will watch Chippy for you.

Uh, Chippy can be pretty hard to find.

Especially when she's playing

hide and seek.

I'll keep an eye on her too, Neel.

Oh, that would be great. Thank you.

Chippy, ready to have a good time

with Mira, Mikku and Chikku?

(CHIPPY PURRS)

I'd say, that's a yes!

Chippy, get ready for

a mega Mongoose day!

Bye, Neel. Good luck with your invention.

Thanks again. See you soon!

-Slow down, Chippy!

-That is a fast chameleon!

(ALL LAUGHING)

It's a hot day.

-Are you thirsty, Chippy?

-(PURRS)

Guys, I'll be right back with some water.

BOTH: You've got it, Mira!

Okay, Chikku, here's the plan.

Take Chippy for a walk,

stop for a snack, stretch

Mikku, stop right there.

The only plan is making sure

Chippy has a good time!

Chikku, Prince Neel trusted us

with a very important job,

and we need to have a plan.

What if Chippy doesn't

feel like stretching, huh?

Chippy, I have some water for you!

Guys, where's Chippy?

BOTH: Chippy? She's right there!

Uh where?

Chippy?

Chippy!

You under there?

Mira, we have something to tell you.

We don't know where Chippy is.

(SADLY) We've failed Prince Neel.

He'll never let us watch Chippy again!

Guys, it's okay.

Remember how Neel said,

Chippy loves playing hide and seek?

Maybe she's hiding

and wants us to find her.

And we will.

BOTH: We will?

Yes, because we're on the case!

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after

That's what detectives do

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

Let's start with some questions.

What do we know about Chippy?

I know, he's a chameleon.

Right. That means, she can change colors

and match things around her.

Which means, we can't see her.

Which means, we'll never find her.

Maybe we can't see Chippy,

but there are other ways

we can look for her.

-What? How?

-I'm so lost.

We can use our other senses.

That means, if we can't see

something with our eyes,

maybe we can hear it with our ears,

or touch it with our hands,

or paws.

We can also smell with our noses

(BOTH SNIFFING)

-and taste with our

-snacks!

Chikku, we taste with our tongues.

Those are called senses.

And we can use all our senses

to solve a mystery.

Your senses are just like

A very good detective

They help you gather clues

About the world all around

You see with your eyes

And touch with your paws

Your tongue can taste

Your nose can smell

Your ears hear the sound

Imagine you're surrounded

By freshly made Samosas

-Can you see them?

-So many.

-Feel like Christmas.

-So now close your eyes.

My nose can smell the spices

My ears can hear the sizzle

I can't wait to taste them

With my tongue

BOTH: Yum!

If you touch them it will be hot

I can't wait to hold them in my paws

-You mean in my paws.

-My paws.

-My paws.

-My

Hello.

Your senses are just like

A very good detective

They help you gather clues

About the world all around

Use your senses

Our Samosas.

They're gone.

Now we lost Chippy and our samosas.

Guys, let's focus on finding Chippy.

Then we'll get a snack.

BOTH: Okay, Mira.

First, let's start with hearing.

We know Chippy makes a purring sound.

If we get really quiet,

I'll bet we can hear her.

(SHUSHES)

Mira, I hear something.

Is it a purring noise?

I'd say it's more of a grumble.

Quiet, your stomach Chikku,

we have to hear Chippy purring.

I'm trying. We should have

gotten a snack first.

(PURRING)

(GASPS) I hear purring. Over there.

(MEOWING)

Uh, Mira, do Chameleons

also turn into cats sometimes?

No, they don't, Chikku.

Then I guess this isn't Chippy.

(PURRING)

Wait. I think I hear more purring.

It's coming from the playground.

(PURRING CONTINUES)

It's getting louder.

Chippy must be nearby.

I think it's coming from that tree.

MIRA: There she is, on the top branch.

Mira, I'll go get her!

No, I'll go get her.

Chippy, your buddy Chikku

is coming to get you.

Chippy, your male mongoose

Mikku is on the way.

BOTH: There she is.

MIRA: She just jumped

on top of that rickshaw.

We have to follow it.

Which rickshaw is she on?

-Mira, we got this.

-We got this.

Tiny correction. We do not have this.

(SIGHS) Let's face it,

we're never going to find her, are we?

Prince Neel is gonna think

we're the worst chameleon sitters ever.

You have nothing to worry about.

I promise, okay. We'll find her.

But how, Mira? We can't see her.

And it's so loud here,

we can't even hear her.

You're right. But remember

Use your senses

We can use another one

of our senses besides hearing.

Like our sense of smell.

-How will that help us?

-(CHIKKU SNIFFING)

We know Chippy is wearing

a jasmine flower crown.

So if we follow the scent

of jasmine flowers, maybe we can find her.

Of course.

Ah, smells good.

Jasmine, Chikku, jasmine.

I smell jasmine flowers

coming from that direction.

MIRA: Let's follow that smell.

BOTH: Sniffer mongooses

coming through!

Ah, yes, our samosas, smells so good.

Jasmine, Chikku. Not samosas.

Guys this way.

The smell is getting stronger.

BOTH: Coming, Mira.

MIRA: Guys, there's Chippy's

flower crown, on the steps.

-Chippy.

-We are coming to get you.

She's really good at hiding.

I can't see her at all.

I know what we could do.

Use our senses.

Like our sense of touch. Boop.

That sounds like a great idea, Chikku.

It sounds even better when we sing it.

Use your senses

Use your senses

Um, Mikku, Chikku,

what are you doing?

We found chippy.

But she's way

fuzzier than I remember, Mira.

And she has whiskers.

Chameleons aren't fuzzy,

and they don't have whiskers.

-Oh.

-Oppsie.

(BOTH CHUCKLES)

Hmm. Her flower crown must've fallen off.

So where is she now, Mira?

Mira, Mikku, Chikku,

check out my high jumper.

I finally got it to work.

Wow, Neel, it's so great.

It's Prince Neel,

you hold the flower crown.

-No, you hold it.

-Mikku, Chikku,

look how high I can jump.

Whoo-hoo!

Uh-huh, yeah.

That's really something.

What's wrong, guys?

I thought you'd be excited.

Is it not mongoose friendly enough?

I'll make high jumpers for you two next.

Guys, just be honest

and tell Neel what happened.

It will be okay.

Prince Neel,

we were watching Chippy for you,

and everything was going

according to plan.

But we looked away for a second,

And now we can't find her.

We're really sorry.

Don't worry, guys.

It happens to me all the time.

It sounds like Chippy decided

to play hide and seek again.

(PURRING)

Hear that?

She must be hiding around here.

-Phew.

-Yes!

Yeah, that sounds like Chippy all right.

Neel, is there anything

else you can tell me about Chippy?

Let's see, she loves jasmine flowers.

But you already know that.

Oh, she also love to sit

on the high shelf in my work shop.

On the high shelf.

Huh. Let's think this through.

Every time we saw Chippy today,

she was in a high place.

First she was on the top shelf

in your workshop.

Then she was on

the highest branch of the tree,

and then, she was on the roof

of the rickshaw.

Those are all high places.

What if Chippy is hiding

in another high place right around here.

But where, Mira?

Well, Chippy loves Jasmine.

So maybe she climbed

on top of that jasmine vine.

Yeah, that looks like a spot

Chippy would love.

Neel, can you use

your high jumper to try and see her?

Sure thing.

Mikku, Chikku,

want to join me for a test bounce?

BOTH: Yeah!

Any sign of her?

-(PURRING)

-I can hear her.

CHIKKU: And now,

I can see her.

(ALL CHEERING)

-Chippy.

-Chippy, come on down.

I'm so happy to see you.

(PURRS)

-That's case closed.

-So closed.

That was one tiring case.

-(PURRS)

-Oh, okay.

Hugs.

Chippy, you are too cute

and way too good at hiding.

Mikku, Chikku, you did a great job

using all of your senses

to solve the mystery today.

You sure did. Come on, Chippy.

It's time to get back to the palace.

Come on, guys. Guys?

Mira, there's one sense

we haven't used yet.

BOTH: Our sense of taste.

Uncle, we are ready

to taste those samosas.

MIRA: The great, polo mystery.

-Go, go, go.

-Hey, nice ride.

I got it.

Nice work, Mira.

Neel, coming at you.

Got it, here, put it away.

I'm on it.

Now all Prince Veer needs to do

is use his mallet

to hit the ball into the goal

and then he'll get

-A pony?

-No, a point, Chikku.

How many times

have we been over this?

(GRUNTS)

-(NEIGHS)

-Yes!

-Great shot, Veer.

-Thank you, Mira.

And that was just a warm-up.

We are so ready for this polo match.

Yes, you are, Mira.

And I'm so glad my team

has been practicing, too.

Princess Shivani,

I'm really happy you're here.

Welcome, Princess Shivani.

Thank you for making the trip

all the way from your kingdom.

Hello, Prince Veer, Prince Neel,

Mira, Priya.

It's great to see you all again.

These are my friends from Nayapuram.

We're so excited to play today.

We are, too.

Princess Shivani, let's get your ponies.

Whoa!

Yeah, you don't want to use this pony.

-Whoa, Seema.

-(WHINNIES)

Whoa!

That's our friend, Pinky.

She helps train the ponies.

I think your pony

needs a little more training.

Seema, where are you going?

(TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Queen Shanti must be

ready to start the game.

-Yes!

-Excellent.

Let's go.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Welcome, dear friends,

to the first-ever polo match

between the kingdom of Jalpur

and the kingdom of Nayapuram.

(TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING)

I am delighted to introduce our guests,

the king and queen of Nayapuram.

Your Highness,

the queen and I are honored to be here.

May this polo match mark the start of

a new tradition between long-time friends

and the people of our kingdoms.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Ram Singh Ji.

Good afternoon, one and all.

Pinky, will you do the honors?

Sure!

Welcome, everyone.

Seema, this is the part where we present

the welcome sign I made, remember?

Seema, slow down!

(CLEARS THROAT)

Let the game begin.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(GRUNTS)

-(GRUNTS)

-Got it.

Oh, yeah, that's how it's done.

Bring it home,

Prince Veer, bring it home.

(GRUNTS)

Oh, no, my mallet.

(ALL GASP)

Soggy samosas. Veer's mallet broke.

I got you covered, Veer.

-(CROWD GASPS)

-My mallet broke, too.

What is happening?

Not good. Not good, people.

Oh, no. Mine broke, too.

Your Royal Highnesses, look out.

(CROWD GASPING)

Your Majesties, my apologies.

You did promise us an exciting match.

-MIRA: Your Majesties.

-Mother, are you okay?

-Mother.

-Oh, Neel, we're fine.

We have a serious problem.

All the mallets are broken.

They were fine when we practiced.

Do you have any idea how this happened?

No, Queen Shanti,

but I will figure it out.

Thank you, Mira. Please do.

Of course. We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

Let's start by looking

at one of the broken mallets.

How strange.

There's gold glitter

on the end of this mallet.

That's not supposed to be there.

But it is pretty.

Let's check the others.

Mother, while Mira is investigating,

Ram Singh Ji and I can go

look for some more mallets.

And I will see

that our guests are served snacks.

Wonderful ideas, boys. Thank you.

Your Majesties, everyone,

please join me

for some snacks and chai.

-How lovely.

-Thank you.

Sounds delicious.

Uh, Chikku, did I hear

something about snacks?

Hey, Mira, we're gonna

look for clues over by the snack table.

MIRA: Guys, check this out.

I examined all the broken mallets

and they all have gold glitter on them.

-Well, well, well.

-What does it mean?

No idea.

It means gold glitter could be a clue.

Let's see if we can find more

gold glitter around the field.

Maybe that'll help us

figure out why the mallets broke.

Come on.

Glitter, any glitter?

-Just a Mikku.

-And a Chikku.

(GASPS) I see something

under the tree.

More gold glitter.

-Ooh.

-Let me see.

(YELPING)

My paw. I'm stuck.

I got you, buddy.

(GRUNTING)

Thanks, Mikku.

(GRUNTS)

Uh-oh. Paws are stuck together, people.

Paws are stuck together.

Here, let me wipe that off, Chikku.

(CHUCKLES) That tickles.

Chikku, it looks like

you have sticky gold glitter on your paw.

Because that paw is full of glue.

Glue with gold glitter

mixed into it.

I think the glitter on these mallets

was mixed with glue, too.

Maybe the mallets were broken before,

and someone tried to glue them

back together with the glue from this pot.

-But who?

-And why?

Good questions.

(GASPS) Guys, check it out.

There's a glittery fingerprint here.

I wonder if we can find

anyone with glitter on their fingers.

Maybe they'll know something.

-Mira

-BOTH: We got this.

I've heard about the samosas in Jalpur.

I'm so happy I finally get to taste them.

They're the best.

Check Priya's fingers.

(SWALLOWS) What? I can't hear you.

Mikku, Chikku, what are you doing?

Checking for sticky

glitter fingers.

Not to worry,

this will only take a moment.

Paws up, please.

BOTH: Hmm.

No glitter

on her fingers.

Priya, our inspection is complete.

Good. I guess.

Hmm. No glittery fingerprints anywhere.

Mira, did you figure out

why all the mallets broke?

Not yet, Veer. But I will.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Nope, no glitter.

Check his other paw.

Excuse me? I do not have paws.

Prince Veer, you are free to go.

Guys, look. Glitter drops on the grass.

We have to see where they lead.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

Huh? There's something

behind that tree.

Looks like a sign, Mira.

That would look great in our apartment.

This is glue and gold glitter.

Wait a second. I saw this sign before.

Let's think this through.

Before the polo match started,

Pinky was holding the sign.

She said she made it.

So if she used glue

and gold glitter on the sign,

maybe she used them

to fix the mallets, too.

Mira, does that mean Pinky knows

how they broke?

Maybe. Let's find her and ask.

Walk. Walk.

Good Seema.

Good pony.

-Hi, Pinky.

-Oh, hi, Mira.

So, who won the polo match?

We had to stop playing

because all the mallets broke.

Oh, no. I thought I fixed them.

Pinky, were they broken before?

And did you glue them back

together with this?

(SIGHS) Yes. I did.

I was training Seema before the match

and she got overexcited

and ran over the mallets

and they all broke.

(SIGHS) So I used my glue

to put them back together.

I'm really sorry.

Um, can you help me?

I think my sticky fingers

are stuck to my face.

We'll help you, Pinky.

We are experts at dealing

with glue and glitter.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Thanks.

Ew, so sticky.

Pinky, it's good that

you tried to fix the mallets,

but why didn't you tell

anyone what happened?

I didn't want to embarrass Seema.

She already felt so bad about

breaking all the mallets.

Right, Seema?

(WHINNIES)

And now, we both feel terrible

that the match was ruined.

I'm so, so sorry, Mira.

-(WHINNIES)

-It's okay, Pinky.

Everyone makes mistakes,

especially young ponies.

And mongooses.

Like the time I fell in a mud puddle

and sat down on

Queen Shanti's couch. Ooh-ooh.

Or the time I ate all of Mira's snacks

and Prince Veer's snacks,

and possibly Priya's snacks.

They were my snacks.

Mira, do you think I could

explain what happened to everyone?

That's a great idea, Pinky.

Excuse me, everyone, Your Majesties.

My friend, Pinky, has something to say.

Yes, Pinky?

I just like to say that I'm very sorry.

And so is Seema

(WHINNIES)

that she got excited and ran over all

the mallets and broke every single one.

And then I glued them together with

some very pretty glue with glitter in it,

but it didn't work.

Thank you for telling us, my dear.

(NICKERS)

And thank you, Mira, our Royal Detective,

for getting to the bottom of this.

-Job well done.

-Excellent, Mira.

I'm always happy to help, Your Majesties.

Good news, everyone.

I found some extra wood in my workshop

and used it to make more mallets.

They're not perfect, but they should work.

Neel, how resourceful.

Those will work wonderfully.

The match is back on, as I promised.

(ALL CHEERING)

(TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING)

-Over here.

-I got it.

Oh, watch out.

(LAUGHS)

MIRA: Heads up.

Yes!

Wonderful playing.

-That's my daughter

-Beautiful.

-Nice shot, Princess Shivani.

-Thanks.

Go Jalpur!

You can do it, Mira.

Don't look at us.

Nothing to see here. Great shot!

Keep playing.
