oodle-ay!

okay, great.
excellent.

Excellent.
Positively.
Oh, yes.

oh, yes.
no question about it.
i think so. Mm-hmm.

Ootsie?
Bootsie?

You want our birthday party
to be the best ever,
don't you?

You know it.
It just has to be
better than last year's.

It has to.
All we had last year was
a brass band and fireworks.

[Both]
boring.
Well, here's my plan:

We're just going to have to
trick dad into saying yes
to some extra-special things...

While he's talking
on the phone, and then
tape-record his answer.

Oh, bootsie!
You're so tricky!

Shh.
Let's go.

Yes. Uh-huh.
Oh, daddy,

At our birthday party,
can we have a giant

That sings
"yankee doodle"?

Absolutely.
That's a capital idea.
[Both] yes!

And how about two dozen
dancing penguins...
Playing the accordion?

No problem.
No problem.
Consider it done.

- Oh, bootsie,
you're so clever!
- Yes, I know.

This is going to be
the best birthday party
we've ever had!

The best
party ever!

Hello, kids.

These are invitations
to a very special
birthday party.

So of course we want to
be sure they get delivered
right away.

- Be extra careful.
- Oh, I'm always extra careful.

Nothing stops the hoohaw mail:
not rain, nor snow, nor--
[gasps]

Catch, butter.
Yeah, yeah.

[flick]
hey, peanut, jelly,
baby butter.

Look what I got!

- Hoo-haw!
- Hey, watch it!
That's my party invitation!

[Both]
party invitation?

- Yep. Just got it in the mail.
- Wow!

The snooties are having
a birthday party tomorrow.

Remember last year's?
The big brass band?

Oh, and the fireworks?

That was
the coolest party ever!

Come on, peanut.
Let's go see if
our invitation came.

Oof!

Well, my goodness, pb&j.

Now, I know there's
something here for you.

Yes!
All right!

Oh. Here it is.

Huh?
It says "occupant."

That means it's to
whoever lives here.
That's you.

Isn't there
anything else?

Something that's
really for us?

'Fraid not, y'all.
That's it for today.

Bye-bye!

[Sighs]
well, maybe
it'll come tomorrow.

It better,
'cause tomorrow's when
they're having the party.

Jelly,

What are you doing
out here?

Oh, I don't know.
I guess I don't want to
miss the mail boat.

But it's morning.
The mail boat doesn't come
until after lunch.

Well, maybe
it'll come early.

Never thought of that.
Okay, I'll wait with you.

Okay.

[boat horn tooting]
huh?

[paddle boat churning]
hey, peanut.
Look!

Yay!
Oodle-ay,
miss raccoon!

Hi, pb&j!

Where's our mail,
miss raccoon?
What's going on?

No mail for y'all
today, pb&j.

Oh, man!

I don't believe it!

We're the only kids
on the whole lake who didn't
get a party invitation.

Hey, look!

Ootsie!
Bootsie!

Oh, hello, otters.
What do you want?

Uh, that must be stuff
for your party, right?

Why, yes.
You're quite right.

It's going to be
a great party,
isn't it?

Oh, yes.
The creme de la creme.

Only the very best
for us.

And our invited guests,
of course.

- [Both]
uh-huh.
- Ta-ta for now. Must be off.

You know what I think?

I think they didn't invite us
'cause they don't like us.

Oh, who wants to go
to their crummy old
party anyway?

I don't.

- Me neither.
- No, no, no, no.

Hey, hey, pb&j.

Hey, look up.
[Both]
huh?

[Both]
up in the sky!
[frog croaking]

♪♪ [Croaking "yankee doodle"]

Who ordered that,
huh?

You told us we could
have it, daddy.
Don't you remember?

[Bootsie] can we have a
giant 28-foot ice cream frog...

[Ootsie]
that sings "yankee doodle"?

[Dad]
absolutely.
That's a capital idea.

Oh, well,
so I did.

- [All] wow! Cool!
Look at that ice cream frog.
- Hoo-haw!

Watchbird alert!
Watchbird alert!

[Snoring, squawking]
whazzat! Whazzat!

You just interrupted
a very pleasant dream,
I'll have you know.

I was dreaming about--
a giant frog on the snooties'
deck playing "yankee doodle."

Well, of course not.
Connie--

- I said it was
a pleasant dream.
- Connie--

That sound like
a nightmare to me.
Connie, look!

- [Croaking]
- [squawking]
I'm having a nightmare!

Well, I gotta go
get ready for the party.
Me too.

[Both]
we don't.

♪♪ [Humming
"noodle dance"]

You're humming that
"noodle dance" thing,
aren't you?

Well, we have to
try something.

Well, I'll try thinking,
but no dancing.

♪♪

♪ noodle
use your noodle ♪

♪ noodle
do the noodle dance ♪

I've got it!
We can just go,

Even though
we weren't invited.

We'll be
in disguise, see,

Maybe as, um,
vegetables or something.

And nobody'll
notice us.

[party chatter]

Oh, edouard, who invited
those vegetables?
No one.

[Whistles]
officers, arrest that salad
and toss it in jail!

jelly!
hey! Lemme down!

[All laughing]

Okay, okay.
Bad idea.

But how about this:

We'll have a party
of our own,

And it'll be a trillion times
better than theirs.

- Hoo-haw!
- Okay by me.

I hear they've got

No, 600 ostriches
playing bagpipes.

It's gonna be so--
[gasps]

Uh, pb&j,

Aren't you ready
for the party?

Nah. We're having
a party of our own.

See? We're making
our own frog out of sand.

We're having too much fun
right here. Wanna join us?

Um, well--
maybe tomorrow.
Right.

- Come on, scootch.
- [Yelling]

[yelling continues]
[gasping]

Oh, no-o-o!

Sorry. Sorry.
My fault.

[All]
see ya.

[Chattering,
shouting]

What's that?

Oh, nothing.
Just bubbles.

They've got 400 penguins
and a giant frog.

And what do we have?

[jelly]
just one frisky bass.

chattering continue]

Is it just me,
or is something missing?

Yes,
I feel it too.

No way!
This party has everything!

They've even got
a trained fish following
the boat doing flips.

That's not
our trained fish.

It's just
an ordinary old bass.

Hmm. Frisky.
Hey, wait!

Oh, no!
It's pb&j's invitation
to our birthday party.

[all on board]
hey, pb&j!
come to the party!

Your invitation
got lost.

I'm dreamin', right?
Am I dreamin'?

If you are,
so am i!
Hoo-haw!

You will join us.
Won't you?

Butter?
Peanut?
Jelly?

[Cheering]

So you all thought
they didn't want you to come?
That's right.

Oh, that must have
made you feel terrible.
Yeah, it did.

But everything
turned out okay
in the end.

And we learned
something really important.
And what was that?

I learned that
things aren't always
what they seem to be.

And I learned
it's important
to pay attention...

[Both]
to your pet fish.

[All laughing]

[Snoring]

Yeow! Hoo-hoo!
Hoo-hoo! Ah! Ah!

Whoo-ah-ha-ha!

Watchbird alert!
Watchbird alert!

What? [Gobbles]
whazzat? Whazzat?

Connie, the thermometer
just went up to "yeow"!

It's never been
this hot before
on lake hoohaw.

There's not a drop of water
left in the lake, and--

You woke me up to give me
a weather report?

We're settin'
a new record here, connie.
Aren't you excited?

Uh-huh.
Now, if you don't mind,

I'd like to try
settin' a new record
of my own, cap'n.

What's that?
Longest nap
without any interruptions!

Oh!
Mm-hmm.

- Whew!
- Phew! How are y'all
feelin', kids?

- Hot!
- Look at this.

It says here,
"heat hurts hoohaw."

That's why I made you
a special treat
to keep you cool.

What is it?
Neat!
Cool!

[All]
fishsicles!
Fishie!

hey!
oh, man.
hoo-haw.

[Gasps]

It's even too hot
for fishsicles!

I see you've got
your mud-flappers
all hooked up.

Can't let
a little heat stop me.

[Sighs]
even when the lake's
dried up,

People need to get
their deliveries.

[Kissing sound]
[giggling]

Well, don't work
too hard, ernest.

And you kids stay
as cool as you can, okay?

[All]
okay!
Oodle-ay, daddy.

oodle-ay!

Dad said to stay
as cool as we can.

But how are
we gonna do that?

Yay!

- What are you making, butter?
- Cool.

Uh, yeah. Cool.

Ho, ho, ho.
She's making
the north pole.

Yeah, yeah.
In this heat,
I can almost see it!

Yeah.
Me too.

- Hoo-haw.
- We'd better get
out of the sun.

Yeah. There's gotta be
someplace cooler than this.

Come on, butter.
Bye.

Now what can we do
to get cool?

Let me think.
Let me think.

Hey, you and butter
sit right down on the grass,
and I'll show you.

Oh, that's great,
jelly!

You're making a breeze.
More! More!

- More breeze.
- Okay, sure.

Feels cool!

- More breeze.
- Trouble is,

It makes you guys cooler,
but now I'm on fire.

[Panting]
oh, yeah.
You're right.

What I need is
some shade.

Yeah, that's it!
We'll make shade.

- What do you mean?
- Hmm.

Now, if I could find
a couple of oars somewhere--

Okay.
Everybody inside, now.

Are you cooler yet?

Maybe a little bit.
How 'bout you?

Maybe.
It's hard to tell.

Let's just wait and see.
It's nice and shady in here.

Hey, peanut.
Hi, jelly.
Ho, butter.

Hot enough for ya?
[Giggles]

Hey, munchy.
Do you want to come under
the shade we made?

Yeah, sure.
Sounds cool to me.
[Chuckling]

Oh, no.
What is it,
jelly?

Yaaaah!
scootch!

Sorry. I'm sorry.
My fault.

[Boat horn tooting]

Hey, look!
Dad came home early!

Hello, dear.
[Kissing sound]

[Both] daddy!
Honey, are you done
with your deliveries?

Wish I were.
I have to go pick up
a special emergency delivery...

And get it to the snooties
across the lake.

Oh, for goodness sake.
What do they want, anyway?

You're not gonna
believe this, opal.

They want winter coats,
gloves and hats!

Coats and gloves?
Are they kidding?

Maybe they're
pretending it's winter
so they can feel cool.

Yeah, or maybe--

Maybe it really is
cool where they are.

Come on.
Let's go find out.

[Whimpering,
shuddering]

Ootsie?
B-b-bootsie?

Aren't you glad
we're not like those...
Poor children--

Who don't have a big,
giant air conditioner?

[Whimpering]

- Exactly.
- [Shivering]

I do wish mr. Otter
would hurry up
with those coats!

Mud, mud, mud.
[Giggling]

My legs are starting to
feel like jelly.

What?
Not you, jelly.
I mean jelly jelly.

Hey!
What's happening?

My feet are stuck
in the mud.
So are mine.

I can't even--
[grunting]
help!

Hold on, jelly!
Whoa-oa-oa!

Oh, no!

Mud.

Look.
We're almost there.

[Whimpering]
[doorbell rings]

Ootsie?
Bootsie?

[Both]
could be the coats!

[wind gusting]
what was that?

Oh, nothing.

Just our meatlocker 3000
air conditioner.
[Giggles]

[All]
cool air!

Can we come in
and cool off?

Bootsie?
Ootsie?

Mmm.
I don't think so.

You're far too
dirty and sweaty.

Our mother
would never approve.

You see, our carpets
are snow-white.

And they mustn't
get muddy, you know.

Or sweaty.
[Both]
sorry.

Ooh, those poodles!

They make me so mad,
I feel hotter than ever!

- Can we?
- Butter carry!

Why, sure, kids.
That's really nice of you.
Just take these.

[Barking,
whimpering]

- What's that mean?
- Oh, sorry. I forgot.

You don't speak poodle.
It means...

[Screaming]
help!

I understand
what that means. I--

Broke down!

And everything's
melting!

is filling up with water.

[Both]
daddy, daddy!

Can we do it,
dad?
Please. Please, please?

- Okay. Just be careful.
- [Jelly]
yay!

[All cheering]

Nice work, kids.

[Children laughing,
chattering]

In all my born days,
I've never seen the lake
fill up so fast.

One minute,
it's nothin' but mud,

And then, hoo-hoo-haw,
the water's back!

Now this is cool!
Yeah!

- [Laughing]
- [bootsie]
may we join you?

Sure, why not?
You're not muddy
or sweaty, are you?

[Giggling]
oh, no.
Not us.

Then come on in, guys.
The water's gnarly!

Yeah. Come on in.

You kids did a lot of
good thinkin' today
'bout how to b*at the heat.

Yeah.
We made shade.

And I made a breeze.
Remember?
Uh-huh.

Well,
as I always say,

If you just
use your noodles,
you can do--

Hey!
[Grunting]

I got one!
[peanut]
lemme see! Lemme see!

It's really big!
[dad]
ooh! Got it, jelly?

I got it.
Yay!

[mom]
good for you, jelly.

[Peanut]
looks like a mitten.
I wanna catch something.

[Jelly]
earmuffs, scarves.
