01x12 - Where's Luna?/Pulling Strings

[bunniefuu]

We live in a big, beautiful world.

I'm Leo.

I'm Andy.

And I'm Carmen.

Our parents work in a circus that travels

all around the world and we travel with them.

So we never know where in the world we will end up next.

(train whistling)

But wherever we go, we know that

Luna the Moon will be there with us.

♪ Traveling the world as a trio ♪

♪ Andy and Carmen and Leo ♪

♪ With Luna the Moon and some new friends too ♪

♪ Everyone's different and really they're just like you ♪

♪ All around the world ♪

Andy: Where's Luna?

Leo: What's that thing sticking out of Andy's trailer?

(creaking)

Hm...

Okay.

Uh-huh...

What's that, Andy?

This is my brand new telescope!

I named her Jessi.

What's it for?

You mean what's SHE for?

I'm using Jessi to look at the stars

and planets in the night sky!

Can you tell where the Circo is on our planet

by looking at the stars?

Hmm...

Well, maybe, I mean, somebody probably can.

Magic Globe: I can!

All: Hi, Magic Globe!

Magic Globe: Ah, just as I thought!

Looks like we're in Delhi, India today.

An old city and home to many amazing thinkers

plus unique buildings and temples!

You can really tell where we are by looking at the stars?

Magic Globe: Sure!

I love astronomy!

Astronomy?

What's that?

Magic Globe: Astronomy is when people learn about

the stars, planets, sun, and moon!

Here in Delhi, India, there are famous

astronomical buildings from years ago

called Jantar Mantar.

Instead of a telescope like Jessi,

people used buildings like these

to study the day and night sky.

All: Thank you, Magic Globe!

Since looking at the moon is part of astronomy,

could you use Jessi to find Luna in the sky?

Hey, yeah, Luna always spends the night in the sky!

Let's say good night to her before we go to bed!

Good call, my astrono-pals, let's take a look!

Hmm...

I can't see Luna anywhere.

Maybe you're telescope isn't working?

Aww, Jessi.

Wait a minute, I can't see Luna either!

Oh no, where is she?

We always say good night to Luna!

I don't know if I can sleep

without our friend Luna in the sky!

I miss her already.

She's never gone missing before,

but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

Hey, Magic Globe told us about

those buildings for studying astronomy

and looking at the moon is part of astronomy,

maybe we can use the buildings to find Luna?

Oh yeah, Jantar Mantar!

Good idea, Andy!

Yeah, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

Let's get some sleep and look for Luna

in the morning at Jantar Mantar.

Yeah, okay.

Good night.

Good night, Luna, wherever you are.

(peaceful music)

(wind whistling)

Oh, get back here, hat!

Children!

Hey, you children!

I am in desperate need of assistance!

Do you know where Luna was last night?

I always read my book of funny hats by her moonlight!

See the funny hats!

Yeah, uh, hilarious.

Yes, yes, well, I read about the funny hats

and then I say good night to Luna,

and then I fall right asleep!

But last night, she wasn't there!

We know, we couldn't find her either!

That's why we are going to Jantar Mantar to look for her.

Ah, yes, I happen to be an expert on, uh, Jantar Mantar,

maybe I could come along?

Sure, I'll see if I can find Jantar Mantar

looking through my telescope (chuckling), I mean Jessi.

(energetic music)

Hmm, nope!

(booming) Not here either.

Huh?

What's that?

Hmm, it's a hat?

Hmm, wait, yes, yes, hmm.

A Chinese silk ribbon, a fine Italian weave,

slightly amusing and quirky.

Yep, that is definitely Luna's hat!

It is now my duty to carefully care for

this magnificent hat until we have found our friend Luna.

But Luna always has her hat.

I sure hope she's okay.

Not to worry, children!

We will set off to find her at once.

Follow me to Jantar Mantar!

There it is! (Fabuloso screaming)

Ah, of course.

Follow Jessi to Jantar Mantar!

Huh?

Aw, now where did my hat go?

Awesome!

Jantar Mantar!

This place is the coolest!

Jantar Mantar seems really old,

I think it's older than my great-grandad,

Howard E. Hopper!

(chuckling) And he's old!

Focus, we're going to use Jantar Mantar to find Luna.

If we can understand how.

Check it out!

Maybe we can use this building to find her.

Ooh!

I wonder what it's for?

Hmm!

Yes!

I believe this building was a model for Swiss cheese

and it's been used, let's see,

for a billion years!

No one knows for sure.

Actually, I don't think you're right, Senor Fabuloso.

It says right here on this sign, see?

"This building is the Rama Yantra.

It is used to measure and study objects in space,

like planets and stars."

Rama What-tra?

Oh, that can't be right!

It's an astronomy tool just like my telescope, only huge!

But it's only years old, not a billion.

It could tell us things about Luna, if she wasn't missing.

I miss Luna!

Uh, guys, what about that one?

All: Oooh!

I must admit, I do not know what that one is.

Let's check it out!

Wow, it's ginormous!

But what is it?

It's Samrat Yantra, Andy!

Another astronomy tool, a giant sundial!

What's a sundial?

A sundial tells you the time of day using the sun.

As the sun moves above the triangle,

the sundial's shadow moves and shows you what time it is.

See Andy? The shadow moves!

Kinda like a big clock!

Yeah!

Hello?

Who needs a clock?

We already know what time it is without Luna.

(sniffing) The worst time!

Don't be so sure, Leo.

Sumrat Yantra is so tall,

Luna can probably see it from wherever she is!

Yeah, maybe we could put

something up there for Luna to see?

Ah but children, you are missing something very important!

We do not have anything to put at the top of the sundial!

We would need something Luna can recognize from far away,

something she has a strong connection to,

something she is never without!

I'm afraid all is lost friends,

we have no such object.

Hm? What?

What are you looking at?

(gasping) Oh, no, no, no, no, no, oh, oh, oh.

Perfect!

I have to admit, I've grown quite fond of that hat.

Now Jessi and I will keep a lookout

while we wait for Luna!

Here we go, she'll be here any second.

Make that two seconds.

Okay, this is taking too many seconds.

I miss Luna.

Children, I am sorry,

I really don't know anything about Jantar Mantar.

I just wanted to help find Luna.

Well guys, we waited all day and still no Luna.

It is getting quite late, I can't even read my book

because what little daylight we have left

is being blocked by the moon!

Yeah, I give up, it's time to (gasping)

wait, blocked by the moon?

Did you just say the moon?

Yes, I can't see at all, it's very annoying.

(gasping) Look!

(triumphant music)

Gotcha!

All: Luna!

Hi, friends!

I'm sorry I was gone for so long,

I've been looking everywhere for my hat!

Thanks for finding it for me!

(gasping) It's a wonderful hat, Luna,

it's the most Fabuloso hat I've ever seen!

Thanks, Senor Fabuloso!

It was smart of you to come look for

the moon here at Jantar Mantar.

People have been studying the science of astronomy here

for hundreds of years!

Well, Jantar Mantar did help us find you

but it wasn't exactly science.

It was the science of a moon loving her hat.

(gentle music)

Ah, Luna's back.

See Jessi?

I'll never take you off again, hat!

Well, at least not tonight.

Oh, hey Andy!

(Luna babbling) (Andy giggling)

I'm glad you're back in the sky tonight, Luna.

Me too, Andy!

And I'm glad to have my hat back!

Thank you for bringing me to Jantar Mantar,

it's one of my favorite places.

Yeah, I had no idea that Delhi, India

has amazing buildings for studying

the sun, the stars, and my friend, Luna the moon.

But I keep thinking there must be other fun things

to learn about in Delhi, India.

There's always more to learn about any place we visit!

But remember, there's always tomorrow.

Carmen: Two Brothers.

Hi, this is Carmen with a tale from India.

Once there were two brothers on two neighboring farms

who had a disagreement.

Sadly, they went on fighting

until they stopped talking to each other at all!

One morning, a worker came to the older brother's farm

looking for jobs to do.

The older brother said, "See that farm across the creek?

"My younger brother lives there.

"We don't talk anymore.

"I want you to build me something

"so I won't have to suffer seeing his farm everyday."

The worker said "I understand.

"I will do a job that pleases you."

The older brother went to town

while the worker began sawing and hammering.

At sunset, the older brother returned,

shocked to find the worker had finished

a fine bridge

stretching from one side of the creek to the other!

And who was coming across but his younger brother,

smiling with wide-open arms!

"My brother," he said,

"you built a bridge to welcome me!

After all that has happened, you show such kindness!

I am sorry we ever fought.

Can we please be friends again?"

They hugged and made up,

but then saw the worker leaving.

"Wait," they said, "we have other projects for you!"

"I'd love to stay," said the worker,

"but I have more bridges to build!"

Andy: Pulling Strings.

(Andy snoring)

Good morning, everyone!

Morning, guys!

Morning!

(upbeat music)

Another day, another new city!

I can't wait to go exploring!

That's right and we've got all day to see the city!

After all it's...

It's so late!

Late?

What?

We must've overslept!

And we don't even know where we are!

Quick, get the Magic Globe!

Where are we, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: Oh-ho hey, hey, everyone, slow down.

We're in the city of Delhi, located in the country of India!

Delhi is a wonderful city

where you'll never run out of things to see and do!

Like music, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: Yep! If you love music,

India is home to many unique instruments

and wonderful performances.

How about art, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: Can't forget about that!

If you love art, you'll love all the beautiful paintings

and tapestries in Delhi's famous museums!

By the way, most people in India say hello

by clasping their hands and saying namaste.

All: Namaste!

Thanks, Magic Globe!

Wow, I didn't know there were

so many cool things to do in Delhi!

What should we do today?

Well, isn't it obvious?

Yeah, Leo!

We wanna hear music! - We wanna see art!

Uh, the Magic Globe said the music was great here in Delhi,

so obviously we should go to a concert.

And she also said Delhi

has the coolest paintings and tapestries,

so obviously we should see an art museum.

You always pick art, Andy!

How about you let someone else decide for a change?

And you always want to hear music!

I say art!

Music! Art!

Music! Art!

(both growling)

Guys, guys!

It's okay, let's do both!

We can't, Leo, and we don't have time!

And even if we did, Andy's being difficult.

Not true, Carmen's the one who never

listens to any of my ideas!

(Carmen and Andy sighing)

But what about exploring Delhi?

Nuh-uh, I am not going with him!

I'm not going with her!

(sighing) All right.

(somber music)

It's just not the same without Andy and Carmen!

What if our days of exploring as a trio are over?

Luna: Ooh!

Luna?

(gasping) This sounds wonderful!

Oh no, it's my one weakness!

When I hear music that makes me happy I have to dance.

Whoa!

(Luna screaming)

Luna!

♪ Luna come and play ♪

♪ Luna's here, what do ya say ♪

♪ Luna bright as day ♪

♪ Show us the world lead the way ♪

Uh, hi Leo, why the long face?

And where are Andy and Carmen?

They couldn't agree on what to do here in Delhi.

Carmen wanted to listen to music

and Andy wanted to look at art,

now they're both fighting and won't even talk to each other!

Oh no!

I'm so sorry, Leo, it must be horrible

to see your friends fight.

But what if we could think of something

to make them both happy?

But how?

What if they never make up?

Come on, let's go exploring, I wanna show you something.

Whoa!

What is this place?

Where are we?

It's a neighborhood in Delhi

where all kinds of artists and performers live.

A couple friends of mine live here, I want you to meet them.

Here we are!

Hello, is anyone home?

Namaste!

Luna!

So good to see you!

Come in, come in!

What brings you here today?

Sunil and Anita, this is my good friend, Leo.

He's feeling a bit down,

I was wondering if you could show him

your Kathputli puppets?

Hm, that is indeed a very sad-looking boy.

Very well, then.

My wife and I run a Kathputli theater.

I am the puppeteer,

I make puppets move around and look alive.

While I play the music for the shows.

We work together to create great Kathputli performances!

Um, what's a Kathputli?

Kathputli, dear boy,

is the most popular form of Indian puppetry!

It is an old tradition where we tell

folktales and stories with stringed puppets.

Wow!

These puppets are beautiful!

(chuckling) Very much so!

And we make them all here in the workshop.

Each puppet is made by hand with wood and fabric

and controlled with a set of strings.

Kathputli puppets usually don't have legs

so the beautiful gowns can twirl when they dance.

It is a true art form!

Oh, ho! (tsking)

There he goes again showing off!

Don't forget what really makes the performances great,

the music!

This here is a large drum called a Dholak!

I play it to create the music and b*at for the show.

Sunil, make the Kathputli dance

so I can show how wonderful the Dholak sounds!

All right, all right.

Now, watch closely.

I use this small reed instrument

called the Boli to makes the puppets talk.

(Boli squeaking)

And I move the puppets with my hands!

(Boli squeaking) (rhythmic Dholak music)

Wow, that's amazing!

The puppets are beautiful and so is the music!

I've never seen anything like it!

That's it!

I know how to get Andy and Carmen to make up!

These Kathputli puppet shows use both art and music, right?

If Carmen and Andy see all this,

they'll have to love it and stop fighting!

And we can make the puppet show about their big fight.

When they see it, they'll realize

fighting doesn't solve anything!

But where can we possibly find puppets

that look like Andy and Carmen?

Sunil and Anita: We can help with that!

Really?

Great! Thank you!

This will be the best Kathputli show anyone's ever seen!

Just a little further, Carmen.

Trust me, you're going to love the music here!

I'm tellin' you Andy, you'll be thrilled by this art!

Leo and Luna: Please, take a seat!

Andy?

Carmen?

Both: What're you doing here?

I'm still mad at you!

Ditto!

The show will begin shortly, thank you!

(Carmen and Andy grumbling)

Ready Leo?

Ready!

Oh! Hm?

Once upon a time, there were two friends,

a butterfly and a frog.

(gentle Dholak music)

The two friends had a lot in common

but one day they stumbled across something

that they just couldn't agree on.

And when they couldn't agree, it led to an argument!

♪ He wants this and she wants that ♪

♪ Soon it's an argument, soon it's an argument ♪

♪ She wants music, he wants art ♪

♪ Now it's an argument, now it's an argument ♪

♪ Isn't it silly to fight with friends ♪

♪ Who wants an argument no one can win ♪

♪ Everything's better when the argument ends ♪

♪ It's just an argument, silly argument ♪

(energetic dance music)

(Boli squeaking)

This show's got a great b*at!

Yeah, and it looks amazing, too!

Both: But I'm still mad at you!

It looked like they were starting to get along,

but now they're back to arguing.

Neither one wants to admit that they're both having fun!

(spitting) Leo, we might have

a bigger problem on our hands!

Luna, your feet!

You aren't doing that on purpose, are you?

No, Leo!

It's my one weakness,

whenever I hear music that makes me happy I, I...

I have to dance!

(Leo gasping)

Luna, no, you have to stop dancing!

(Leo grunting)

(both giggling)

(crashing)

(both cheering)

Luna, Leo, that show was amazing!

Yeah, we both loved it!

It was like the perfect mix of...

Both: Art and music!

Thanks!

It's call Kathputli, a type of puppetry

found right here in India!

My new friends Sunil and Anita taught us all about it

and helped us put on the show for you.

Thank you, Sunil and Anita!

It was our pleasure!

We love making people happy with our art!

And our music!

Yes, yes, music and art.

Especially art.

You mean especially music.

All right, all right, especially both.

Andy, I'm sorry that we had an argument.

Me too.

We would've had time to do something we both like

if we had just compromised.

Compromise?

What's that?

When two people want two different things but agree

to do a little of both instead,

that is a compromise.

Like how Kathputli theater is a mix of art and music?

Right!

Say, would you kids like to stay for dinner?

I could make some curry or maybe you'd prefer a nice dal?

Sounds great, I love dal!

Well, I love curry!

Hm, what if we compromise?

And have a little of both!

(all laughing)

I'm so happy Andy and Carmen stopped fighting.

Thanks for your help, Luna!

Luna?

How'd you make yourself so teeny-tiny?

Luna: I'm Kathputli Luna, the real Luna is up there!

Luna, it's time for you to go back in the sky already?

That's right, Leo, it was getting late.

Well, thanks for teachin' me all about

the Indian tradition of Kathputli puppetry,

I can't wait to see what other surprises

Delhi has in store for us!

There are all kinds of amazing things

to discover in every city we visit!

Sometimes it seems like there's not enough time

to experience everything, but don't worry,

there's always tomorrow!
