Andy: A Moon's Trip To Paris.

This is so awesome!

Thanks for taking us to the movies, Señor Fabuloso.

What are we going to see?

Fabuloso: I'm not sure, Andy.

Luna invited us to a special movie theatre

here in this fabulous city.

Leo: Look! Fabuloso: It's Luna!

Luna: Hi, friends!

Carmen: ♪ Luna, come and play!

Leo: ♪ Luna's here, what do you say! ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day!

Kids: ♪ Show us the world, lead the way! ♪

Luna: Great to see you all!

Welcome to Paris, France and--

--the Cinematheque Francaise,

a special theatre celebrating

the long history of artistic movies made in France.

And today they're showing something amazing!

Andy: What is it, Luna?

Luna: It's called "A Trip to the Moon",

one of many films they're screening today

by my old friend Georges Méliès,

a French filmmaker from over a hundred years ago.

C'mon it's about to start!

♪

Andy: Wow, these movies are really old.

♪ [playful piano music]

[gasps] Whoa, how did he DO that!?

♪ [playful piano music]

♪

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Woooowww! ♪ [piano music]

Leo: Look! It's you, Luna!

Well...

sort of.

Andy: You look a lot nicer than that moon, Luna...

[splat!]

Luna: So, whaddya think?

Andy: I loved it!

How did George Méliès do all that stuff?

It's like magic!

Luna: That makes sense since he was a magician

before movies were invented.

And then, with these films,

he invented "Movie Magic".

Andy: What's 'movie magic'?

Luna: It's...uh... how do I explain?

Carmen: Maybe the Magic Globe can help?

Magic Globe: Hello, everyone!

I know a thing or two about movies!

One of the first places to ever show movies,

over a hundred years ago,

was right here, in the city of Paris,

located on the country of France!

The special effects of some of your favorite movies today

come from a long tradition of amazing tricks

invented by the very first

movie makers of long ago,

like Georges Méliès!

Audiences were so fooled and amazed by

Georges Méliès' movie tricks,

it seemed like magic,

which is why it became known as

"movie magic."

Andy: But, Magic Globe, do you know how he did those tricks?

Magic Globe: Well, one of Méliès' many tricks

was to film someone,

then stop the camera,

and then replace the person with something else

and start filming again.

That way, when you watch the movie,

it looks like the person suddenly transforms

into something else, like magic!

Kids: Whoa!

Magic Globe: Have fun in Paris, France, everyone!

Luna: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Andy: Wow, I wanna make a movie!

Hey, we have stuff at the Circo...

and a camera!

Wanna try it?

We can all be in it.

Even you, Señor Fabuloso.

Fabuloso: Me?

I can see it now...

a major motion picture starring

Señor Fabuloso

in his dazzling debut!

Andy: What do you say, Luna?

Luna: Hmmm...okay. Let's make a movie!

Fabuloso: What a great poster!

Movie Tonight! : PM!

Andy: You're up next, Señor Fabuloso!

Fabuloso: Okay...

Make me a star, Director Hopper!

Andy: Okay, sit down on that stool.

Fabuloso: Like this?

Andy: Yes, perfect!

Now act surprised!

Fabuloso: Surprised? Oh! Like this?

[gasps] Aaaiiii!

Andy: Yes, yes!

Cut! Bring in the chicken, please!

Fabuloso: Chicken? [chicken squawking]

Andy: Thank you, Señor Fabuloso.

You can move out of frame now.

Fabuloso: Wait! Uhm, that was it?

That was my big scene?

Was the emotion okay? Chicken: [squawks]

Andy: Just another second...

Okay, cut! Let's watch that back!

[loading]

Luna: Looking good, Señor Fabuloso!

Fabuloso: Thank you, Luna.

All: [gasp] Woooow!!

Luna: Nice job, Andy!

Andy: This is working great!

Let's go film our next sh*t on set number two!

Andy: C'mon! Fabuloso: I love movie making!

I just love it! [chicken squawks]

Hockbar: Okay, let's see--

"Give Shrews a bath". Check!

What's this, huh? A movie?

What? Tonight at six.

Okay, not on the schedule, but I'll pencil it in.

I'm just gonna roll with it.

Hey! What, uh, W-What's going on here?

Who left this, uh, big mess?

Lights? T-t-there's a chicken?

And look, someone left the TV on...

What? Oh, it's Señor Fabuloso.

Let's see what he's doing...

How do you work this?

[click] Ah, okay.

It just looks like a home movie of...

well...Señor Fabuloso.

He's relaxing...

Fabuloso: Ay-ya-yayyy!

Hockbar: Aaaaagh!

Kabbiya!

What has happened?

S-S-Señor Fabuloso, he's turned, turned into a--

Wait a second...back up... [tape rewinding sound]

Fabuloso: Ay-ya-yay! [boink!]

Hockbar: Aaaaahhh! A Chicken!!

Whatever are we going to do?

Wait a minute...

S-Señor...? Señor Fabuloso?

Is that really you?

Speak to me! Chicken: [Buh-kaw!]

Hockbar: Aaaagh. He only speaks chicken!

This is not happening!

Who did this to you?

They just filmed you

change into a chicken and left you here?

Chicken: [Buh-kaw!] Hockbar: OK...ok!

Maybe it was a selfie

and nobody knows our great leader is now a chicken.

Oh! It will be our secret, sir.

No one will ever know!

Andy: Okay, Luna.

We're gonna try Méliès' trick

where it looks like there are two of you.

So pretend you're standing right next to yourself, okay?

Action!

Luna: Uh...Hi...me?!

Andy: Now, go to the other side and say 'hi' back.

Luna: Like this?

Andy: I think so... it's hard to believe

this worked for Méliès...

Hockbar: Okay, okay...

stay calm Señor Fabuloso.

Hmmm, what to do, what to do, what to do?

Ok, ok, maybe if you try to talk like your old self,

no one will notice you're a chicken.

Chicken: Buh-kaaaawwwww!!!!

Hockbar: No, no, you still, you still sound quite uh,

quite chicken-ish. Lotta chicken there.

Leo: Hey, Mr. Hockbar... Hockbar: Ahh!

Leo: Have you seen the extra rope?

Chicken: [bawk!] Leo: Oh, there it is!

What did you say?

Hockbar: Oh, me? Uh...yes,

Th-th-that was a sneeze.

I'm allergic to fea-feather, I mean, fennel?

Fennel. Chicken: [bawk!]

Hockbar: Oh, there I go again!

Too much fennel in the air. Heh-heh.

Leo: Okay. Feel better, Mr. Hockbar!

Hockbar: Okay...right-o...

Whew...I don't...I don't know how long we can keep this going.

We will have to figure something out

before the movie starts tonight.

Andy: Hold her right there, Leo.

And...action!

Leo: [grunting]

Luna: AH! Oof! [crash]

Andy: Cut!

Man, this doesn't seem like it's gonna work.

Georges Méliès' movies shocked and amazed people.

This feels shockingly un-amazing.

Chicken: [squawk]

Hockbar: It's nothing personal, Señor Fabuloso,

but maybe if you were just a little less

chicken-like, that might do it.

Chicken: Baaaaah-Kaaaawh!

Hockbar: Okay, alright, that is not what I had in,

uh, had in mind. That's pretty much classic chicken.

It's six o'clock! Time for the movie!

Everyone's going to see you!

[sighs] Perhaps it's time they do.

Crowd: [murmuring] Chicken: Baaaaah-Kaaaawh!

Fabuloso: Ohhh, I can't wait!

Andy: What if the audience doesn't think it's amazing

and they just laugh?

Hockbar: Ah! "A Moon's Trip to Paris",

Who would use the horrible misfortune of Señor Fabuloso

being turned into a chicken for entertainment, huh?

Crowd: [concerned murmuring] Hockbar: Coming to terms

with the new Señor Fabuloso was hard enough,

but as for the new Luna and children...

I'm at my wits' end, I'm telling you!

Carmen: Should we tell him?

Andy: Yeah, I'll tell him.

Hey, Mr. Hockbar! We're all back here!

Hockbar: What? Crowd: [cheering]

Hockbar: Oh, children, you're okay!

Carmen, you have your own head!

And Leo, you're not a giant croissant!

Luna: And there's still only one of me!

Andy: Yeah, Mr. Hockbar, it was all just movie magic!

Hockbar: Movie Magic?

But, if you're all normal,

why is Señor Fabuloso still a chicken?!

Fabuloso: So, you enjoyed my performance?

Hockbar: Well, yeah, you were pretty good at the beginning,

but uh, whaaaaaat?! You can talk?!

Fabuloso: Yes, yes, thank you, thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Chicken: Baaaaah-Kaaaawh!

Hockbar: Senor Fabuloso!?!

Fabuloso: Hockbar, my friend!

Hockbar: So, you're not a Chicken?

Fabuloso: No, Hockbar.

Hockbar: Andy, you really gave me

quite the scare with your movie.

Andy: Sorry, Mr. Hockbar.

Hockbar: But! That was the most

convincing movie magic

I have ever seen!

Andy: Wow, thanks! I learned all those camera tricks

from the great George Méliès!

And I got lotsa help from Leo, Carmen, Señor Fabuloso...

Oh, and Luna, of course!

Hey, where is Luna?

Luna?? Lunaaaa?

[cracking] [chicks chirping]

Andy: Luna?! Are you out here?

Luna: Up here, Andy!

Your movie was a huge hit!

Andy: Yeah, the audience really seemed shocked and amazed!

I bet there's even more movie magic to learn from

George Méliès in Paris, France!

Luna: There's more to learn everywhere we visit,

but remember, there's always tomorrow.

♪ [whistling theme song] [chicks chirping]

Chicken: Baaaaah-Kaaaawh!

Leo: Hi, it's Leo with a French tale called "The Fairy".

Once, there lived a very nice girl,

who happened to have a mean mother

and a meaner older sister.

They made her do all the work.

One morning, they sent her to fetch water from the spring.

There she met a very old woman,

who asked if she could please have a drink of water.

"Yes, of course," said the girl with a smile.

Well, it turned out, the woman

was really a fairy in disguise.

She thanked the girl for her kindness and said,

she would repay her with a gift.

When the girl returned home,

her mother and sister scolded her for being late.

The girl apologized but then, as she did,

a rose, a diamond, and a pearl

floated from her lips.

When the girl explained what had happened,

her jealous sister stomped off to the spring,

found the fairy, and spoke rudely to her,

making all kinds of demands.

Nonetheless, the fairy said

she too deserved a gift.

But when the older sister returned

and boasted of her success,

instead of flowers and gems,

a strange variety of toads and snakes

accompanied her words.

The mother and sister blamed the girl

for this strange occurrence

and kicked her out of the house.

She headed off down the road,

at first a little sad,

but then she imagined a new, happier life

and a smile spread across her face.

She whistled a lovely tune,

leaving a trail of flowers and gems in her wake.

The End.

Honey: If A Hamster Could Fly.

Andy/Leo: [panting] Leo: [giggling]

I love tag. I think we've totally lost Carmen!

Carmen: Somebody mention my name?

Andy/Leo/Honey: Aaaah!!

Honey: You'll never catch me, Carmen!

Ha!

Carmen: Hey! There's no climbing in tag!

Come down here!

Honey: I dunno. I kinda like being up high.

In fact, I wish I could go even higher!

Like a balloon!

Kids: [gasp!]

Honey: Wha? Luna! You're up high too!

And you're extra rubbery today!

Luna: [giggles] Actually, I'm down here!

Hey friends! Like my balloon?

Kids: Luna!!!

Carmen: ♪ Luna, come and play!

Leo: ♪ Luna's here! What do you say! ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day!

Kids/Honey: ♪ Show us the world!

♪ Lead the way!

Andy: Whoa!! Awesome Luna balloon!

Where'd you get it?

Luna: At a nearby park from my friend Jacques.

Hey, did I hear Honey say something

about wanting to go up high like a balloon?

Honey: Yeah!

Luna: How about going up high in a balloon?

Honey: Whaaat?

Luna: It just so happens my friend Jacques

gives hot air balloon rides! Wanna go?

Carmen: Hot air balloon?

As in the only thing

holding you up is...hot air?

Honey: Yay! I wanna see the city from a balloon!

Carmen: Wait a minute... see what city?

Where are we?

Honey: Let's ask the Magic Globe!

Carmen: Where are we today, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: Bonjour, kids!

Today we happen to be in

Honey's favorite city

in the world... Honey: [gasps]

Magic Globe: Paris, in the country of France!

And speaking of hot air balloons...

Did you know Paris was the first city

to be seen from the air?

From a hot air balloon

over years ago!

Way before airplanes.

That's when the celebrated Montgolfier Brothers

first discovered you could float

in balloons filled with hot air,

and gave their first rides right here in Paris!

These days you can still enjoy spectacular views of the city

while riding in a hot air balloon

that's tied to the ground by a long rope.

Carmen: But it's just air!

Wouldn't we all be too heavy for a balloon?

Magic Globe: Not if there's enough hot air, Carmen!

You see, the pilot uses a flame

to heat the air inside the balloon.

Since hot air is lighter than normal air,

it makes the balloon float.

When a large balloon is filled with enough hot air,

it can lift a lot of people!

Enjoy your hot air balloon adventure, everyone!

All: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Carmen: I dunno, guys.

I get the concept,

but the whole thing makes me nervous.

Luna: Don't worry, Carmen.

The hot air balloon is tethered,

meaning it's tied to the ground the whole time.

It's totally safe!

Carmen: But, how come your balloon

isn't lifting you up?

Luna: Well, this balloon is filled with a type of gas

called helium, which also lifts.

If it was much bigger, or I had a lot more of them,

they would lift me!

Why don't you come see the hot air balloon for yourself?

It's huge!

Maybe it will make you feel more comfortable.

Carmen: Well, okay... but no promises.

Luna: This is the place, everyone!

And there's my friend Jacques!

Jacques: [happily humming]

Luna: Hi, Jacques! [balloon deflating]

Jacques: Oh, [ahem] Hi, Luna!

What brings you back?

Did your Luna balloon spring a--

[thwap!]

--leak?

Luna: Uh, well, no. I wanted to bring my friends by.

This is Carmen, Leo, and Andy!

Jacques: Oui, oui, enchanté!

Nice to meet you all! Yes!

I am Jacques, your Parisian balloon expert!

What can I interest you in?

[zing]

I've got all kinds of balloons!

French-poodle balloons, cheese balloons,

Eiffel Tower balloons, big seller,

and even splishy-splashy water balloons.

♪ Ya-da-da-da

Whaaa!

[splash!]

Luna: Actually, Jacques, today we are interested in

the one we can ride!

Jacques: Ride?!Luna: You know, the big one.

Jacques: Big one?Luna: That one!

Jacques: Oh, that one!

Andy/Carmen/Honey/Leo: Woooooow!

Andy: That thing is huge!

Carmen: Th-that's the hot air balloon?

Honey: I can't wait! I can't wait!

Jacques: We don't fly too far, since we are tethered.

But it is fun, and the view is magnifique!

Did you know that Paris was the first city,

where you could actually fly in a hot air balloon?

Honey: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all that.

Let's ride in it already!

Jacques: Ooo-la-la, what a cute little, uh--

--furry thing.

[clears throat] Okay, everyone hop in!

Luna: So, what do you think, Carmen?

Wanna give it a sh*t?

Carmen: No, I'm gonna stay down here after all.

Being lifted so high by just air,

scares me a little.

Luna: Well, it really is safe.

But if it makes you uncomfortable,

we can do something else!

I'm sorry, Jacques. False alarm.

Looks like we're not going to ride in your balloon after all.

How about we find something else to do in Paris, friends?

Andy/Leo: Sure!

Honey: Whaaat?? Noooo!

I want to go up in the hot air balloon!!!

Luna: Sorry, Honey. There's always next time!

Honey: No, no, no!

Not next time!!

Nooowwww!!!

Luna: Thanks, Jacques.

Jacques: Of course, Luna and friends...my pleasure!

Carmen: You know, you guys can still

go on without me, if you want!

Leo: No, it just wouldn't be the same without you, Carmen!

Luna: Aww... Honey: Wait!

You two are okay with this?

Well, I'm not!!

Carmen, pleeease!

Can we go up in the hot air balloon just one time?

Carmen: Sorry, Honey.

I really don't want to.

Honey: Fine!

If you guys won't go, I'm just gonna have to go

by-my-self!!

[steam whistle breathing]

[gasps] That's it!

That's my ticket to the sky!

Jacques: Whoa?!

Carmen: Honey, what are you doing?!

Honey: Don't worry, I just need to borrow this for a bit!

Thanks, Jacques, I owe you one!

Carmen: [gasps] Honey: Yeeeaaah!

Carmen: Where are you going?

Honey: I'm off to see Paris!

Wheeeeeeeee!

Carmen: [sighs] What am I going to do?

I gotta save her!

She can't fly that high by herself.

What if something happens?

What if she gets hurt?

Ohhhhhhh.

Uhhhh!

No, no, no!

Yes, yes, yes. Honey: Weeeeeeeeee!

Carmen: I...I...

I gotta save Honey!

Jacques, Jacques!

Can you take us up in your balloon to save Honey?

Jacques: I don't know.

I'd have to untie the balloon,

and I've never performed a hamster rescue before!!

But there's a first time for everything!

Quick! Everyone on board!

Luna, start the burners, I must untie the rope!

Zut alors!

I'm being called to a noble cause.

My mother would be so proud. [sobs]

Luna: Uhhh, Jacques?

Jacques: Aaaagh! My balloon!

She cannot fly without me!

Wait!! Attendez!

Luna, I don't think I can make it!

Do you remember what I taught you about flying balloons?

Luna: I think so!

I hope so...

Jacques: Ah, wait!

The rope! Ahhh!

Ahhhh! I got it!!!

Ooooof! Aaaaaaagh!

Carmen: Luna, can you make this thing go any faster?

Luna: I'm trying, Carmen!

Jacques: Whoooaaa!

Honey: I'm doing it! I'm really flying!

I'm lighter than air!

but remember, there's always tomorrow!
