- Hey, presto, alakazam.
- Uh, Zou, what are you doing?
- Huh?
Oh, practicing.
- Practicing what?
- Mom and dad took me to
see a magic show last night.
- Go on.
- The Mighty Mysterioso, he was brilliant.
He made his rabbit appear out of a hat
and he even walked through a solid wall.
Then he puts a lady in the wardrobe
and she disappeared, so I've decided,
I'm going to be a magician when I grow up.
Alakazam.
- I thought you were going
to be a racing driver?
- No, that was yesterday,
see you Elzee.
- See ya later, Zou.
[happy music]
- I'm home, alakazam.
- And hello to you too, what's
alakazam supposed to mean?
- It's my special magic word.
I just magicked you to make you disappear
but I'm glad it didn't work.
- [laughing] well I've done a little bit
of magic today as well.
- You have?
- Mhm, in the kitchen.
[happy music]
- Oh hello there, Zou.
- Hello Zou.
- Hello Grandpa, hi Grandma,
mom says she's done some magic.
- Ready?
Abracadabra!
- Choc chip cookies, my
favorite, thanks mom.
[bird chirping]
They're your favorite
too, aren't they Poc?
[crunching]
- Now, not too much, or neither of you
will have room for dinner.
- Of course, making
cookies isn't real magic,
not like the magic I'm
going to do when I grow up.
- Oh I don't know, these
cookies are enchanted.
Take a bite of one of these
and you can do proper magic.
Now, if I just go behind this door
and you say a magic word.
[crunching]
Oh and wave your wand three times.
[laughing]
- Alakazam.
One, two, three.
[upbeat music]
Grandpa's disappeared.
- Boo!
[laughing]
- Grandpa!
- See, what did I say, magic!
- That wasn't magic Grandpa.
- It was, when you're Grandpa's age,
it's magic if you can run that fast.
[laughing and chirping]
[happy music]
- Poc!
What did mom say?
Still, if I'm going to be a magician,
I'll need some magic stuff
but I haven't got any.
- Ah, well maybe I can help you there.
- A magic set, eh?
Yes, I believe I have got
one of those in stock.
And if memory serves me
correctly, it aught to be
right here.
- Wow, thanks Mr. Zoey.
- You're welcome Zou.
- Thanks Grandpa.
[happy music]
[drum roll]
Alakazam.
- Oh, very good.
[disappointed music]
[clapping]
[happy music]
- Alakazam.
[drum roll]
- Oh, that's clever.
- Alakazam.
[drum roll]
[disappointed music]
Hm, it's a good magic set Grandpa,
but what I need is a
really, really good trick
like the Mighty Mysterioso.
- Hm, you mean something
like the magic he used
when he made his assistant disappear.
Then maybe uh, hm.
I think I've got the very thing.
Yes, that's just what you need.
Come on Zou.
[happy music]
Here we go, this is the magic box
that is going to help you make
your assistant Poc disappear.
- How does is work, Grandpa?
- Look, it's easy, you open the door
and your assistant gets inside.
Oh don't worry Poc,
there's a door at the back
of the box which you can disappear through
before Zou says alakazam,
and opens the door again.
Now we just have to paint it
and make it look nice for
your show this evening.
[happy music]
- I'm looking forward to this.
- Oh there's nothing I like
more than a bit of magic
except a macaroon.
Oh I do love a macaroon.
And I nice--
- Shh, the show's about to begin.
- Ladies and gentlemen, I give you,
the Magnificent Zouprendo!
[cheering]
[happy music]
- Alakazam.
[clapping]
Now sir, this is your
newspaper, am I correct?
- Ah, yes, that's mine,
but hang on, I haven't read
the sports results yet.
- No matter sir.
[happy music]
[drum roll]
Alakazam.
There.
[cheering]
All in one piece.
- Well, well, well, I see City beat United
quite handsomely.
[clapping]
- And now for my next
trick, I will need the help
of an assistant.
Alakazam.
[chirping]
[clapping]
- How did he do that?
- Do you think he could
magic me a macaroon?
[chuckling]
- And now ladies and gentlemen,
your attention please.
For the best magic trick in
the Magnificent Zouprendo show.
Before your very eyes, my
assistant will disappear.
[happy music]
Please be silent as this trick
needs a lot of concentration.
One, two, three, alakazam.
[clapping]
Thank you, thank you,
but I couldn't do without
my assistant forever, so to
magic him back, alakazam.
Ta da.
[confused mumbles]
Oh, alakazam?
[gasps]
Alakazam.
Poc?
- Where's he gone, Zou?
- I don't know, he was
supposed to go through here,
it's a hidden door, and
then he should have hidden
under the table until it
was time to come back again.
- Well that's clever.
- Yes, but,
but he's disappeared, really and truly.
Maybe I really am magic.
Poc, poc, are you there?
- Is the show over?
- Shall we have some refreshments
while we wait for Poc?
- Poc!
[intense music]
Where are you?
[gasps]
Where can he have gone?
- [Mom] Bizou!
[chirping]
- Poc!
But how?
I mean.
- I think Poc must have
done a disappearing act
all the way to the kitchen
and then helped himself to
some more of my cookies.
Isn't that right Poc?
- So I'm not really magic after all.
Well that's a relief.
I would have been very sad if
you disappeared forever, Poc.
- And I wouldn't have been pleased if he'd
disappeared all the cookies I made.
- Or nor would I.
That was a wonderful show Zou.
It was um...
- Magic?
- Magic.

- The giant tyrannosaurus rex chased after
the fierce triceratops.
[roaring]
Where are you going, Grandpa?
- Sh, Grandma's in a busy mood,
I'm keeping out of her way.
- The massive tyrannosaurus
rex waved his tail
and growled.
[chirping]
- Ah Zou, there you are.
The very person I need to
help me do the washing.
- Washing?
- Yes, it's a perfect drying day,
so I thought I'd wash the sheets.
- But, but, I'm sorry Grandma,
Elzee's coming to play.
She'll be here any minute.
- Aha, the very person I need
to help me with the washing.
- Ah, well you see, I was just um--
- Ah, no excuses dear, this way.
[happy music]
- [roaring] I'm bigger
than your triceratops.
- A billion years ago, my triceratops
was as high as a tree
and he only ate leaves.
- My tyrannosaurus rex was even bigger,
he was as big as my house.
[chirps]
- A dinosaur wouldn't
even fit into your garden.
His head would be here
and his tail would be in the park.
- I wonder what it's like
being as big as a house.
- Imagine being so long you couldn't
even see the end of your tail.
- I've got a great idea Elzee,
let's build a giant dinosaur
right here in my garden.
- How?
- We could use cardboard
boxes, Grandpa's got loads.
Let's ask him to help us.
Come on, let's build Zonk.
- Who's Zonk?
- Our giant dinosaur.
[laughing]
- Thank you dear.
- This way Elzee.
- I really don't know what I
would have done without you.
- Anytime.
- You can start with these,
I've got more in the shed.
- I think I've got some
cardboard boxes in my room.
- I'm going home to look for
some material to cover Zonk.
[happy music]
- Whoops, whoa.
[happy music]
You should be able to
build a herd of dinosaurs
with this lot, Zou.
- Thank you Grandpa, I
found some stuff too.
- Let's get to work.
To avoid accidents, I'll
work on Zonk's head and neck
whilst you concentrate
on his back and feet.
- Okay Grandpa.
[happy music]
[chirping]
- Oh, what's that Zou?
- That's Zonk's bottom.
- Ta da, look what I found.
- Uh.
Hm.
- I think we might need
more material to cover
our dinosaur, Zou.
- Have you got any material
in your garage, Grandpa?
- Um,
probably.
These might come in handy.
Up a bit Zou.
- No, down a bit Grandpa.
- That's no good Zou, you've
uncovered Zonk's head.
- And you've just uncovered his bottom.
- Look, I've made
dinosaur spikes for Zonk.
- That's really clever, Elzee.
- Lucky I found your cushion, eh Zou?
- And the sheet too.
[grunting]
Pity it's not just a bit bigger.
[happy music]
- Oh look mom, a dinosaur.
[happy music]
- He's huge.
- Oh he's scary.
- He's not scary, Grandpa, he's Zonk,
the amazing giant dinosaur.
- [Mom] Zou, Grandpa, supper time.
- Oh it's mom.
- Come along, Zou, mustn't
keep the family waiting.
- Can Elzee stay for supper too?
Please Grandpa.
- Of course, but you better
make sure that's okay
with your mother, Elzee.
- Won't be long.
- Don't go away Zonk, we'll be back soon.
Did you know, that a meat
eating tyrannosaurus rex
is as big as a brontosaurus
and they only eat vegetables.
- I didn't know that Zou.
- So, if I only ate
salad, would I be as big
as a diplodocus?
- I don't think you'd be
quite that big, Elzee.
But vegetables are very good for you.
- Come along now dears,
dinosaurs don't exist anymore.
Eat your supper before it gets cold.
- Dinosaurs lived billions
of billions of years ago.
- But they're extinct now.
- What clever little zebras you two are.
- Well, it's a very
interesting subject Grandpa.
- It certainly is.
Oh thank you dear, that was delicious.
- I quite agree.
- Thank you.
- Oh excuse me, I must
bring in the washing
before it gets dark.
[happy music]
Where's the other sheet?
[calm music]
Oh my giddy aunt.
I've got news for you,
dinosaurs are not extinct.
There's a whopping big one in the garden.
- Don't be scared, it's Zonk.
[happy music]
Our giant dinosaur.
- He's amazing.
- How did he get into our garden?
- Zou and I made him.
- With Grandpa's help!
- Did you know that your giant dinosaur
is wearing one of my best sheets?
- Oh, really?
I found it on the lawn.
- It must have blown off the washing line.
- Or maybe I knocked it off the line
when I was carrying all those boxes.
- I think I might have walked over it
when I dropped my cushion.
- Well, I'm sorry, but
I must have it back.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- If you help me to wash the sheet
I promise I'll find
something to replace it.
[happy music]
- Can I rinse it now?
- Go on Zou.
[water spraying]
[scrubbing]
[happy music]
[laughing]
- I think it's cleaner
than the sheets dad washed.
- Don't tell Grandma that, she'll have us
washing sheets all week.
- Well done, it's as good as new.
There you are, this should
suit your giant dinosaur
down to the ground.
[laughing]
- Zonk looks even better
covered in flowers.
Look.
- It looks like Zonk's
walking up the garden path.
- Maybe he's going indoors
to have a sleepover.
- Well, if I were him, I'd
stay out here in the garden.
- But, it would be fun to
have a sleepover with Zonk.
- Not if your Grandma sees him first.
- Why Grandpa?
- She'd have Zonk washing
sheets 'til morning.
[laughing]
