01x04 - Statue of Liberty

[bunniefuu]

ABC MouseHey, everybody! Let's G-O, go!

Woman[singing] With ABC, --, and Do-Re-Mi

There's endless people and places to see

From the classroom they can search and explore

With every adventure you learn more

They visit countries near and far

They love to learn wherever they are

They see the world in a brand-new way

They make great new friends every day

ABC, --, and Do-Re-Mi

Come along and you will see

The more they travel, the more you know

Get ready, let's G-O, go

Do-Re-Mi Mouse--, you're moving. -- MouseI am?

Do-Re-Mi MouseYou have to be perfectly still.

I'm almost done.

ABC MouseCan I see?

Do-Re-Mi MouseNot until it's finished.

And I'm...

done--with the first shoe.

ABC MouseThe first shoe?

Do-Re-Mi MouseWhen I'm done, this will be my tallest statue ever.

It's going to be over five inches tall!

-- MouseThat's taller than we are.

ABC MouseCool! Hey...

I wonder what's the tallest statue in our states.

-- MouseOoh! Me too. Oops.

Do-Re-Mi MouseThat's okay, --.

That's something I want to see, too.

AllLet's search it!

[beeping]

ABC Mouse: Look! That's the Statue of Liberty.

-- MouseThe Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.

The National Park Service says it's feet and inch

from the base of the statue to the top of the torch.

ABC MouseSo if we're four inches tall,

how many of us would it take to reach the top

if we're standing on each other's heads?

-- MouseIt would take about of us.

ABC MouseHold still down there!

Oh, I want to go to the top of that torch! -- MouseMe, too!

Do-Re-Mi MouseWhat are we waiting for?

It's time to explore!

ABC MouseThen let's G-O, go!

[bright music]

Look, a sign.

New York City.

Come on!

NickOkay, got it, Mom.

You'll text me when it's time to meet for the tour.

See ya soon!

ABC, --, and Do-Re-Mi?

Do-Re-Mi MouseDo-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-WHOA!

[together] Hi!

NickHi, I'm Nick.

Isn't this statue amazing?

ABC MouseSo amazing!

NickAre you here to explore the Statue of Liberty, too?

ABC MouseWe sure are.

Hey, Nick, do you know how we can get to the top of the torch?

NickMy family's going on a tour.

I don't know if it goes all the way up there,

but you can come with us if you want.

ABC MouseThat sounds great! -- MouseCount us in!

What about you, Do-Re-Mi?

Do-Re-Mi MouseOh, a tour would be fun.

But right now I'm wondering why they painted her green.

NickShe's actually not painted green.

She looks that way because the outside of the statue

is made of a metal called copper.

--Yep, and copper turns green when it's left outside for a long time.

Nick, did the Ranger tell you why it's called the Statue of Liberty?

NickLiberty means being free to do and say what you want

as you're not hurting other people.

The statue stands for the idea that in America you're free to do these things."],…}

-- MouseOhhh.

I guess that's why it's such an important statue.

[phone chimes] NickOh, that's my mom.

Have to go. See ya on the tour. Bye!

[together] See you later! Bye!

Do-Re-Mi MouseHm.

I wonder who made the Statue of Liberty.

ABC MouseIt says right here.

It was a French artist named Frédéric Bartholdi.

The statue was a gift from the people of France

who thought the United States was an example of liberty for the whole world.

-- MouseI read that there are broken chains at the statue's feet

that stand for when America broke away from Great Britain

to become its own country.

It's the one part of the statue that you can't see from here,

and people don't get to go up there.

ABC MouseGood thing we're not people!

Race you to the feet!

We made it!

Look how big her feet are!

-- Mouse[giggles] Twenty-five feet to be exact.

That means she'd wear a size shoe.

ABC MouseGood thing she never wears out her sandals,

because it would be really hard to find another pair.

-- Mouse[giggles] We better find Nick.


We don't want to miss the tour.

ABC MouseLet's check out the museum before they start the tour.

[together] Okay, sure! Let's go!

ABC MouseLook, there was a fort here before the statue was built.

NickWhoa! Is this what the Statue of Liberty's face looks like up close?

-- Mouse: It says here it's an exact copy.

NickSome people think Bartholdi made the face look like his mother.

Do-Re-Mi MouseAww, that is so sweet.

-- MouseUm… where's ABC?

ABC MouseI'm over here!

Look! This was the statue's first torch.

-- MouseWhat's it doing here?

ABC MouseIt started leaking when it rained, so it was replaced in !

-- Mouse?

That was the statue's th birthday!

Ah, what a perfect birthday present.

Do-Re-Mi MouseOoh, look, here's a poem.

Oh, listen to this part.

"Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

NickGolden door?

I haven't seen a golden door around here. Have you?

Do-Re-Mi MouseThe poem says that because New York Harbor is like a door

into America for people who come to visit or live here.

ABC MouseThe Statue of Liberty really is important to people around the world."],…}

NickYeah, think about all the people who left the countries where they were born"],…}

to start a new life here in the United States.

-- MouseThink of it.

Coming into New York harbor and seeing the Statue of Liberty!

NickThe tour's starting.

[together] Yay, the tour! Great! Let's go!

Do-Re-Mi Mouse[gasps] There must be a gazillion steps.

-- Mouse, to be exact.

ABC MouseTo the top we go!

Ta-da!

One steps to go!

--Uh, I might have a better idea.

ABC Mouse: Yep, this is going to be way faster.

Good call, --!

I can almost see the top.

Uh-oh.

Better get going.

Wanna race?

Do-Re-Mi MouseWhat are you waiting for, ABC?

[mice panting]

-- Mouse: We got him this time, Do-Re-Mi!

[bright music]

ABC MouseWow!

NickYeah, wow!

Do-Re-Mi MouseThere they are.

ABC MouseYou can see for miles from up here.

-- Mouse: And when the torch is lit,

I bet ships can see the statue from miles away.

NickThey can.

The statue was used for a while like a lighthouse.

The torch guided ships into the harbor at night.

ABC MouseLook, you can see the statue's crown.

-- MouseOh, the seven points look like rays of light!

ABC MouseNext stop, the top!

Who's ready to see the torch?

Do-Re-Mi MouseOoh! I am!

ABC MouseThen let's get going!

NickSorry, ABC, this is where the tour ends.

We can't go any higher.

ABC MouseAww.

Oh, there might be a way after all.

Can we use your phone again, please?

ABC MouseHello. -- MouseHi.

Do-Re-Mi MouseHello. ABC MouseNice to meet you.

PilotWell, this is a happy surprise.

ABC MouseWe came to see the top of the Statue of Liberty.

[together] Mm-hmm!

PilotThen you've come to the right place.

Hold on!

AllWhoo! Whoa!

Whoa, yay! [laughter]

PilotThere she is:

Liberty Enlightening the World.

Do-Re-Mi MouseDon't you mean the Statue of Liberty?

PilotWell, the statue's full name is Liberty Enlightening the World.

ABC MouseWhen you understand something, you're enlightened

So the statue's name means that freedom helps bring understanding!

PilotThat's right, ABC.

But people almost always just call it the Statue of Liberty.

ABC MouseThis is F-U-N, fun!

[helicopter whirring]

Do-Re-Mi MouseOh, I'm having fun on this helicopter ride,

but suddenly I feel all squiggly inside.

-- Mouse: I think we better get Do-Re-Mi home.

Do-Re-Mi MouseReady? [giggles]]

BothReady!

Do-Re-Mi MouseI call it...

-- Lighting the Way.

ABC MouseI love it!

-- Mouse: Me too! I'm so tall!

Do-Re-Mi MouseYou haven't even seen the best part.

Watch this!

[light buzzes]

ABC Mouse: Wow, she's really lighting the way.

-- Mouse[giggles] Can she light a little less of the way?


Do-Re-Mi Mouse[chuckles]

[laughs] Better?

ABC MouseMuch!
