O C♪♪

-[Whispers] Okay Donkey,

so you see you gotta just hold your head still...

Whoa!...and be quiet.

-Whoa-whoa-whoa!

-Whoa! What's going on?

-Who's ready for a brand-new game show

that everyone can play?

-Oh, oh! We are! We are!

-What is it, Gameshow Gator?

-Someplace Else, get ready!

It's time to play TOP DOG!

-[Howls] Arroooo!

What a great name for a gameshow!

I love it already!

-I knew that you would!

Donkey Hodie, what about you?

Do you love my new game show?

-Well, I'm not really sure.

-B-But everybody always loves my game shows!

-Well, you said it was a game that everyone could play.

-Well, it is a game that everyone can play.

-Mmm. But it's called Top Dog

and that makes it seem like it's a game

that's just for dogs and not for everyone.

-Well, that's just the name of the game.

I thought it had pizazzy zazziness!

It has nothing to do with the game itself.

-Oh! Well, that's good to know.

Well, maybe you could change the name of the game

so I feel like I can play too.

-That is a fantastic idea!

I shall think of a new name for the game.

A little thinking music please! [Slow music plays]

Hmmmmm...

Oooohhhh...

heeeee...

ayeeeee...GOT IT!

The new name of the game is Donkey Doggy Double Fun!

-Donkey Doggy Double Fun! I love it!

-Sounds like a game I can play! -Perfect!

Because you and Bob Dog are playing together!

-Oh! We're contestants!

-Now it's time to play everybody's favorite gameshow,

Donkey Doggy Double Fun!

Here is your first challenge!

Run around and chase your tail!

The first contestant to catch their tail, wins!

Go!

-Chase my tail? Uhhh...

I've never chased my tail before.

That's something dogs usually do.

I don't even know how to begin.

-GOT IT!

-Mm-hmm. -[Gasps]

-Congratulations, Bob Dog!

You have won our first Double Fun challenge!

-Ooh, I don't want to sound like a sore loser,

but that first challenge

seems like it was a game just for dogs.

-You don't love my game?

Uh, but I changed the name and everything!

-Well, even though you changed the name,

the challenge is a really good challenge for dogs,

but not for me! -[Disappointed] Oh.

-Yeah, it does seem like a game that's better for dogs,

you know with chasing your tail and all.

-Well, I want everyone to love my new game show!

How can I make it so everyone feels included?

-Hmm...

Oh, instead of games that are just for dogs

you can think of a game that's for everyone.

-[Gasps] That is a great idea!

I shall think of new games for everyone here!

A little thinking music, please! [Slow music plays]

Hmmmmm...

Oooohhhh...

heeeee...

ayeeeee...GOT IT!

I have a new game!

I shall throw a ball

and the first contestant to fetch it wins!

What? What's wrong with that game?

-Well, the fetching makes it seem like another dog game.

-Ohhh! Maybe I've lost my touch!

I can't come up with a game that everyone here can play!

-Yes, you can!

Maybe you just need a little help!

-You'll help me come up with a game?

-Yeah!

I, Donkey Hodie, will help you

come up with a game that everyone can play!

-Oh! Yeah, yeah yeah. I'll help too!

-Working together as a team!

I love it! -Mm-hmm.

-Now, let's think!

How can we come up with a game

that will make everyone here feel included?

-Hmmm...

-Oh! Oh!

Maybe it can be a game

with something that both of us can do!

-Excellent idea! What are some things you can do?

-Hmm... Oh, I can roll over!

-Hmmm, I'm not very good at rolling over.

But I can do hee-haw kicks!

Hee-haw!

Ha!

-Hmm, I've never even done a handstand before,

but let me see... Hee--ha---Oh!

Oh, uh, you know I'm not really good at the hee-haw kicks.

Uh, what else can you do?

-Hmm. Ooh!

I can play guitar.

-Hey! I like playing guitar!

-That's it!

We can have a challenge where you both play guitar!

-What's the challenge called?

-I don't know yet.

A little thinking music please. [Slow music plays]

Hmmmmm...

Oooohhhh... heeeee...

ayeeeee...I GOT IT!

It's a challenge where you go back and forth

to see who can play guitar the longest.

It's called the Great Guitar Showdown!

[Happy music plays]

-That's something I can play!

-That's something I can play as well.

-Huzzah! It's a game that makes everyone feel included!

Let the Great Guitar Showdown begin!

[Electric guitar plays]

[Banjo plays]

-[Out of breath] My paws are getting so tired!

I can't play another chord!

[Sighs]

-Donkey wins!

-That was so much fun!

-Hey hey!

What are you doing that's so much fun?

-We're playing a game that everyone can enjoy!

-Ooh! Can I play too, please?

-Of course! It's a game for everyone here!

Let's play The Great Guitar Showdown!

-Oh kay kay, but the thing is...

I don't know how to play the guitar.

-Oh no! This isn't a game for everybody here.

It's just a game for guitar players!

-Mm-hmm. -Oh, that's no good at all!

I wanted it to be a game that includes everyone!

-We're not giving up!

Think, Donkey Hodie think!

What kind of game can Bob Dog, Duck Duck and I all play?

-Hmmm. Oh, hey hey!

How about a bouncing game, huh?

-I can bounce! -Bowie wowie!

Bouncing is something that I do all the time!

-Me too! -Me too too! Yeah!

-Then I shall think of a game

that involves bouncing on a ball.

A little thinking music, please! [Slow music plays]

-Hmmmm...

Oooohhh...

heeee...

ayeeeee...GOT IT!

The game is called the Amazing Someplace Else Bounce Contest!

-Oh!

-We can all play this game!

-All right! Let's play!

Donkey is bouncing in circles!

Duck Duck is bouncing quickly!

Bob Dog is bouncing high!

-Howdy!

What's going on here? -We're playing

the Amazing Someplace Else Bounce Contest, Clyde!

-Ooh! That sounds like fun.

I wish I could play that game.

-That's the great thing about the Amazing Bounce Contest!

Everyone here can play.

-Except me.

-Wh-why not, Clyde?

-Well, we clouds don't really bounce.

-[Sighs]

Every time someone new joins, they don't feel included.

I-I give up!

I quit!

I'm not gonna be Gameshow Gator anymore.

From now on I'll just be Plain Old Gator.

-Wait, Gameshow Gator.

-Plain Old Gator, if you please.

-Plain Old Gator! I know we can do this.

We can come up with a game for everyone!

We just need to think of something everyone here can do.

♪ Some can fetch, And some can chase. ♪

♪ Some can bounce, And some can race. ♪

♪ Some donkey-kick, Some pluck on strings. ♪

♪ Everyone's different, And can do different things. ♪

♪ We want to feel included. Yes! That is our aim. ♪

♪ So, we'll try to come up with The Everybody Game! ♪

♪ Everybody Game!

-♪ It can be fun for all

-What's something everyone here can do?

-Uh, make it rain!

-Uh no, I can't do that.

-Mm-mmm. Nope nope. Me either!

-Okay, everyone can't be included, so we can't use that!

-Oh, how about basketball juggling!

-Oh, I don't know how to juggle!

-Ah, me neither!

-Hey!

I just noticed something.

Everyone is moving their bodies to the music!

-[Gasps] Hey!

Hey, that's true! We are!

-Maybe I can come up with a game

where everyone has to move their bodies!

-Oh, what kind of game? -Not sure yet!

A little thinking music please!

[Music continues] Hmm...

-♪ Everybody Game!

♪ Game-game! Everybody Game! ♪

♪ Game-game-game-game! -...AYEEEE GOT IT!

Ugh.

Oh, I just can't wait any longer.

Mmmmm!

Someone's coming!

Ooo, I hope it's that letter!

-Sorry, Donkey, no letter!

Just little me returning a little book

I borrowed a little while ago.

-Oh! Oh, thank you, Duck Duck! -Mm-hmm.

So, what's this letter you're waiting for, huh?

-Oh, I submitted my potato surprise

to the Amazing Yummy Potato Contest

and I'm waiting to see if I won.

-Oh! What's so surprising about your potato surprise?

-This!

Ta-da!

-What what? No.

That is not potato! That is an ice cream sundae.

-Taste it! -Mmm kay kay.

Hmmm.

Oh! It is potato!

Delicious potato with gravy!

-Surprise! Ha ha ha!

-Kay kay, that is seriously delicious!

And I think you have a pretty good chance

of winning that contest, Donkey!

-Oh, thank you, Duck Duck! -See ya!

Oh, that was just so good! -Bye!

[Giggles] Okay.

When is that letter comin?!

Hmmm?

[Gasps] Maybe this is the letter!

-[Sighs]

-Oh! Good morning, Panda!

-Oh. It's not a good morning, Donkey.

It's not a good morning at all!

-Why?

-Because everything is going wrong and nothing's going right.

-Oh. Well, what happened?

-Well, let me tell you, Donkey.

So...

I woke up in the middle of the night

and I was trying to get back to sleep,

but my favorite stuffed toy, Super Porcupine was missing.

[Sighs]

So, I didn't have anything to snuggle!

That's why I'm sad, Donkey.

-That would make me sad too!

-But that's not even the worst of it.

-There's more? -So...

I was about to take an early morning trip

back to Planet Purple

and then my spaceship ran out of purple fuel!

And that made me feel disappointed!

-That sounds disappointing!

-But that's still not all!

So...This morning I was about to brush my teeth,

but I accidentally squeezed the toothpaste too hard

and got toothpaste all over my toes.

And that made me feel... frustrated!

-Okay! So you're sad about your stuffed toy,

disappointed about your spaceship

and frustrated about your toothpaste toes.

-Yep!

I've been feeling bad all morning

and there was no one around to cheer me up.

So, I just want to figure out how to cheer myself up

in case it happens again!

-Okay! Well, uh...

[Gasps] Maybe you can become a Cheer-Myself-Uperator!

It's a little cheer you do for yourself

when you're having a not-so-good day.

Like this! [Zip!]

Ready!

Okay! Gimme a D!

Donkey! That stands for me!

Donkey!

Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!

You can cheer up, Donkey!

-Oh! So doing that cheers you up?

-Oh yeah!

-Hmm. Uh, maybe I'll give it a try.

See if I can become a... Cheer-Myself-Uperator!

[Zip!]

[Sighs] Gimme a P!

Panda!

That stands for me!

Uh, Panda!

Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!

You can cheer up, Panda!

-How do you feel? -[Sighs]

Still feeling sad about Super Porcupine,

and disappointed about my spaceship,

and frustrated about my toothpaste toes!

[Sighs]

Guess I'll just have to be sad,

and disappointed, and frustrated.

-Hey! Hey, wait!

Hey Panda, it's okay if you need more time

to feel sad, disappointed and frustrated.

-Uh, no, I'd really like to cheer myself up now.

-Well, then I'm sure you can do it!

-But being a Cheer-Myself- Uperator didn't work, Donkey.

-Hmm...

Well that's what worked for me, maybe you just need

to find another way to cheer yourself up.

-How?

-Like this.

I'm so upset about not winning the contest

that even my cheer didn't cheer me up.

Maybe I'll just go back inside for a while and feel sad.

Wait a minute, I don't want to feel sad.
