Hmmm....

La-laa-laaaaa!

Have you chosen your
dress-up costume yet, Nick?

Not yet Sally.

Not sure what
I want to be.

But it's got to be
the best costume EVER!

But school dress up
day is tomorrow, Nick.

You'd better
choose quickly.

I'm going to be a Princess in
a swirly, twirly princess dress!

La-la-LAAAAAA!

Oh no!

MOOOM!!!

I tore my swirly
twirly princess dress!

Can you fix it?

We'll it's made
of silk.

I'll need special
silk thread.

Hmm let me check if
I have any, sweetie.

Oh! If Mom can't find
silk thread,

I won't be able to wear my
swirly twirly Princess dress.

Oh dear, oh my, did I
hear a princess cry!

It's the cat!

The cat in the hat!

Today I'm the Cat in
all-kinds-of hats!

Nope, nope, nope,

yes!

Your majesty.

Oh, Cat I tore my princess
dress, and I need some silk!

Do you have any?

No, but I know a worm
named Mindy who does.

In the desert of
Zimmety Zammety Zilk,

The worms there make
the finest silk.

Worms!?

Oh, yes.

Let's pay them a visit
and find silk for you.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can Nick and I go and
get silk from silk-worms

with the Cat in the Hat?

Sure, sweetie.

Maybe you can find
some silk before I do!

Yes!

We can go!
We can go!

I know,
I know!

To the
Thingamajigger!



Hey, where are we going?

I thought we were
playing dress-up!

We are, Fish.

I'm a princess.

[in a cowboy voice]
That's Cowboy Fish to you ma'm.

And who might you be,
pardner?

I'm still Nick!

He doesn't have a
dress-up costume yet.

But when I do it's going to
be the best costume EVER!

I feel a rootein-tootin
adventure coming on!

Buckle up!

[Horn]

[gasp]
We need the Wigglescope!

[Laughs]

Uh-huh! Yep.

Oh, YES!

[giggle] [giggle]

What do you see?

WIGGLING!
Look!

Oh you're right!

Hey, let me see!

If we're going to see any
more we need to be small!

You know what
that means...

The SHRINKAMADOODLE!

My you're clever!

[Spinning, Pop!]



Weee!Haaaa!Woohoo!

[Laughter]

Whoa!
Look!

[Chewing]

[Super happy]
Mindy? Is that you?

Hoo Hoo!
Yes!

It sure is,
sugar.

And you're stillyou
by the look of you!

The Cat in the Hat!

[laughs]

Now pass me
a leaf honey!

[Springs]

How's this for size?

[chomp]

That's just peachy!

Wow!
Silk worms!

Worms?

Oh my, darlin',[tuts] no we
are caterpillars, not worms!

See, I've got
legs and antennae!

[laughs]

Now come on and
pass me a leaf honey.

Sure.

Um, Mindy, can I
ask for your help?

How could I not help someone in
such a pretty 'lil silk dress!

Oh no,
oh my it's torn.

That's why I need help.

Can you make me
some silk to fix it?

Well, I've been eating leaves
for the last three weeks,

getting ready to
make me some silk!

Pass me a bunch more leaves
and I'll get started!

[laughs]

We'll look this way -
come on, Nick.

If you're after more
leaves to nibble and chew,

Then this is a job for
Thing One and Thing Two!

[Whistles]

[leap frog noises]

[presenting leaves;
ta-da!]

Oh my,
what a feast.

Too kind!

[yawning]
Tooooo kiiiind!

[Eating noises]

Weeee!

What are those things
hanging from the leaves?

Is it more food?

Oh no,
those are my sisters.

Sisters?

Oh!

Are you sure?

Why look again!

Now come on Cat.
I don't need glasses.

They're inside!
You see?

This one's Flossie.

She went to sleep
two months ago!

So they're kinda in....
sleeping bags?

That's right darling.

Are you ready to
make silk now Mindy?

Why yes,
yes I think I am.

Mmm Hmm!

[SPLOOSH]

Oh my!

You SPIT silk?

That's a neat trick!

Yes indeedie!

Aw now ain't it pretty!

Look! It's like string!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa! Hey!

Watch my bowl.

I never knew silk
could be so much fun!

[Laughter]

[yawn]

Nowthatis comfy,
mmm hmm.

May I have some
silk now, please?

Oh, my stars!

No, I can't give
you any silk yet!

This silk has made
my coccoon you see.

You mean sleeping bag!

That's right!

See, my cocoon is just
like a sleeping bag.

Help wrap me up now and you can
have it when I'm finished, okay?

Oooh, this silk is soft!

[effort]

- -
Pull!

[effort][effort]

And strong.

Whoa!

And slippery too.

[pulling efforts]

Careful Nick,
that's right!

Tie it right
down there.

Goodnight,
y'all.

Wake me up in about
two months.

TWO MONTHS!

[sigh] But dress
up day is tomorrow!

[yawning]
Sorry sweetie,

but two months is the time
that it takes, that's right.



Oh my great
stripey hat!

Flossie's coccoon
has gone all wiggly.



[gasp]

Ahhhhh!
Finally!

Whao!
Cool!

Morning, Flossie!
You sure look nice!

Wait a minute.

Mindy, your sister's
a butterfly?

I'm not a butterfly.
I'm a moth!

A silk moth,
to be exact!

Wow!

You are gorgeous!

[sleepily] That's why
I need my coccoon!

To take a good loooong sleep
before I become a moth.

Sleep well Mindy.

It's worth the wait!

Oh say Flossie, mind if this
lil' gal uses your silk cocoon?

Ah, okay, it's all
yours sugar -

I don't need
it any more.

Look at this
lovely silk!

Oh dear it's all tangled.

Ah, Flossie, would you
mind taking an end?

Okay!

I can fly!

Thank you,
Flossie!

Ah, You're welcome.

It's soooo super to
stretch my new wings!

Whee! Ha ha!

From a leaf eating
caterpillar and a cocoon,

comes the silk that will mend
your princess dress soon.

And wow how amazing
that inside that thing,

a fluttery moth was
sleeping within.

I can't wait to get home
and give mum this silk!

Then what are
we waiting for?

back to the
Thing-a-ma-jigger.

[laughs]

Press the
bigga-ma-boodle.

[Honk]

[Pop]

Goodbye, Flossie!

Sweet dreams Mindy!

So long, see ya'll.

Bye!

And thank you so
much for the silk!

Okay, hmm, [yawns]
Nightey, night y'all...

[sleeping noises]

Too bad we never found
a costume for you, Nick.

Oh, I have an idea.



Look at my twirly
swirly princess dress!

It's all fixed.

Lalalaaaa!

Oh, my, Sally you are the
prettiest of princesses.

Now we just have to get
a costume for...

Nick!!?

[laughing]

Guess what I am?

Hmmm.

No arms,
nice smile.

I'd have you say
you're...

A SILK WORM!A SILK WORM!

No, I'm a silk
CATERPILLAR, in my cocoon!

Right you are,
Caterpillar Nick!

And I'm a
beautiful princess!

And I'm still
a cowboy.

Yee-HAW!

[laughter]



I thought it would
NEVER stop raining!

Sally, the rain has
made a huge muddy river!

[laughs]

Oh no!
We're trapped!

We have to cross it or we'll
never get out of this 'jungle'!

Nick the Brave
will lead the way!

Oh no, I'm sinking!

I'll save you!

Dom-di-dom.
Yeah, this is awesome!

[laughter]

Oops,
we got mud on us.

We've gotta get it off before
it hardens and we can't move!

Right!

Let's run through
the sprinkler!

You mean the 'super
mud' blaster!



I loooove
'super mud' blasters!

The Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

That's me.
The Cat in the Hat!

Aagh!,
Oh, my!

Mud monsters!

Where are
Sally and Nick?

[Laughs]
It's us!

Oh!
Why so it is.

We're going to get clean
with the mud blaster.

Get clean?

You want to get clean?

Oh I know a lot
about getting clean.

There are many wonderful,
fun-derful ways, to do that!

Wonderful, funderful
ways to get clean?

Yes!

Who wants a
bath time adventure?

Why not just use
the mud blaster?

Because our adventure,
will be MORE FUN!

Then what are
we waiting for?

Who's ready for a trip to
the Bana-Bana-Savannah?

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

Yeah!

[shouts]
Mom, can Nick and I go to

the Bana-Bana-Savannah
to get cleaned up?

[chuckles]
Oh yes you cana cana,

just don't forget to
wash behind your ears!

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the
Thing-ma-jigger!



Hey, as a fish,
I can tell you,

water is the only
way to clean up.

I mean, what other
ways could there be?

It's time to find out!

Buckle up!

[Honk]



Flick the
Jiggermawhizzer!

[Laughs]

[The Thinga-ma-jigger
ROARS into life]

Isn't this fun?

Okay, new ways to get clean.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Not just a new way,
a fun way.

Okey dokey!

Leave it up to
my old pal Carol.

She'll show us how it's
done Sparrow style.

Yoo-hoo!
Carol!

Cat!
You're back!

Wanna build a nest?
Make worm sandwiches?

Flying's good.
Whee! Ha ha!

Worm sandwiches
sound scrumptious!

But first my friends Sally and
Nick need to get cleaned up.

Happy to help, it's always
a good time for bath time!

Wait.
How can we take a bath?

I don't see any water.

Who needs water when we've
got all this dust here?

Dust?

Scrub a dub dub,
dust in a tub!

Oh, it's very easy.
Very easy.

Gather the dust.
Then shower yourself in it.



Look at us!

We're taking
a dusty bath.

In dust!

Ha ha!
Whee!Yeah!
Cool!



Now,now,now,
flap your wings.

The dirt comes off.
With the dust.

Uh huh!
You betcha!



Um...I think we're
even dirtier...

Huh!
Imagine that.

Now that's a first.
Dust always work for me.

It sure does.
Wow!

You're so shiny and
clean, I need sunglasses.

I think we're going to
have to keep looking

for another fun way
to get clean.

Aw sorry I couldn't help.
Bye bye!

Thanks anyway!
Bye!

So you still want
to get clean?

More than ever.

Then let's learn
from a cat!

And I don't
just mean me.

There are many
types of cat.

Really, what types?

Things One and Two
will help us find cats!

Ones in the wild,
that never wear hats!

[Whistle]

[hello!]

[Pulls out contraption]

Time to call on
some family...

all aboard!

[jumping on bike efforts]

[giggles and cheers]

I don't see any
cats yet.



Up ahead!

I see some lions!

And these cats sure
don't wear hats [laugh].



Leo!
Leona!

[laugh]
My two favourite lions

that live on the
Banna Banna savannah.

Rooaaaarrrr!

[surprised noise]

Oh, don't mind him,

he's just doesn't like
to see a cat so dirty.

Cat, I'm shocked at you.

You know we cats have a
reputation to keep up.

What if a hyena
saw you so dirty?

Ugh, we'd be the laughing stock
of the savannah, that's what.

Nope, all cats
must keep clean.

Oh, we were going
to clean up,

we just wanted to find
a fun way to do it.

He's right.

That's why we came here.

To get clean.

Funderfully clean!

Of course you did.

Now hold still and WE'LL
take care of you.

[licking noises]

Hee, hee your tongue feels
a little scratchy.

That's because it's rough,
like a scrub brush.

[giggles][giggles]
A scrub brush in your mouth?

Yes, it's like having our
own built in system

to clean ourselves.

[laughing][laughing]

Oh, what's wrong?

[laughing]
It really tickles!

Hmm...

It's never
tickled me.

[Licks]

Yuck!

Thanks for trying
to clean us up.

Licking is fun, but
it's too tickly for us.

But it sure
works for you cats.

You're so clean!

Oh go on, you're
just saying that.

You really think so?

Come on Leona, the pride is
meeting us at the watering hole.

Sorry we
couldn't help.

Maybe we could get cleaned
up at the watering hole.

You know, 'cause
there's water there?

Water?

Where's the fun in that?

No worries, there should
be some help coming along

right... about...now!

[BOOM BOOM BOOM
the ground shakes]

Whoa... Yikes!

Whoooa!

Whooooa!
Earthquake!

That's no earthquake!

It's Hanna Hippo!

And right on
time too.

Hey, Cat, what made you slide
over to Bana- Bana-Savannah?

We mean to get clean!

Cool.

I'm on my way to
do that very thing.

This way.

Hippo-horray!

Err....agh!

Ta Da!

Um Isn't this how we got
dirty in the first place?

With mud?

Dust cleans birds.

And licking works
for cats.

Why not more mud?

Okay, Nick,
let's go!

YIPPEE!

[laughing]

I love this way
of getting clean.

It's the best
so far!

Uh huh.
[laughing]

Except that we're the
dirtiest we've ever been.

Oh! Silly billies, mud
isn't for getting clean,

it's for staying cool.

I say cool!

Oh!

Here's how
I get clean.

[Whistles]

Oooh yes.

Oh, that's it.

Oh, a little to
the left, yessss.

Oh, oh.

And to the right,
uh huh.

Now that's what
I'm talking about!

[laughing]
Ha ha!

[laughing]

[Laughter]

The mudiscoming off but this
is more tickly than the licking!

Hee hee, it's more
tickly than tickling!

Ho ho, I think we just
invented a new dance.

[laughs]

See? Now you're clean!
[laughs]

We are?We are?

Oh, you bet.

Those birds
are Oxpeckers.

They peck bugs off me
that I can't get to.

Now that's what
I call clean!

Ohhhhh...Ohhhhh...

So, hippos use birds to
stop the bugs sticking.

And Lions use tongues
and get clean by licking,

Sparrows use dust, a
must to keep clean.

Did anything work from the
creatures you've seen?

Afraid not, Cat.

But maybe for us, it's
good old soap and water?

[Thing and ]

Then I have a one
question to ask.

Who said running through
the sprinkler wasn't fun? Hmm?

Not me...

Me neither!

Last one in the Thingamajigger
is a dirty rotten egg!

Okay Bye bye!

Goodbye!
Thank you!

Bye!Bye!

Ahhh!!! Oh yeah, ah -
oh nice!



[giggling]

Hey look at my hair,
it's.. spikey,

it's so cool!

Look at my hair!
Look at all the bubbles!

Running through the sprinkler
was a great idea, Fish!

Always happy to come
up with a happy ending.

[laughs] This is the
tickliest ending too!

[laughs]
Stop, stop!

No, don't, don't stop!
[laughs]
