[cheerful music]



- Fish!
I'm getting really good

at doing yo-yo tricks.

Want to see?
- Sure.



Wow.
That's a good trick, Sally.

- If you want to see
a really great trick,

watch and be amazed
by Nick the Magician.

- [laughs]
Nick.

- What's so amazing?
- You'll see.

May I borrow
that yo-yo, please?

- [giggles]
Sure.

- Watch me make
this yo-yo disappear.

First I'll set it
on this table,

and now I'll cover it
with my magic cloth.



Alakazamo!

- Wow!
- But where did the yo-yo go?

- Aha!

I thought you'd never ask.

It's right here!

- Wow!

That was amazing, Nick!

- Told ya.
Now watch this.

- Ooh, this is gonna be good.

- For my next trick,

I'm going to make
my favorite car disappear.

[car clatters]

- What was that?
- Oh, uh--

uh, The Amazing Nick
will be right back.

Oh, no.

My car fell through a hole
in the deck.

- Maybe I can get it.

[grunting]

[sighs]
I can't reach it.

- [sighs]
That was my favorite car.

Some magician I am.

Whoa!

- A magician named Nick?

[laughs]
Is it true what I hear?

Well, you must be amazing.

You made me appear.
- Cat!

I don't even know
how I did that!

- Is the show over?

- Yeah, I made my car disappear
under the deck,

and now I can't reach it.

- Aha!

I have just the thing.

Oh.
No, not this.

No, not this.

[grunts]

- So which one of those things

is the thing that's going
to get Nick's car out?

- Hmm.

Maybe I don't have
just the thing.

But I know where we can get
just the thing.

Arcade Island!

- Cat, isn't an arcade

a place with all kinds
of games and prizes?

- Exactly so.

And one of those things
is just the thing

Nick needs
to get his car back.

- All right, let's go!

- Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.



- Mom!

- Is that the Amazing Nick
I hear calling?

- Yes, it's me.

Can we go to Arcade Island
with the Cat in the Hat

to find something
that'll get my car

out from under the deck?
- Arcade Island?

Sure!
- [gasps]

- Have a magical time!
- We can go!

We can go!
- I know, I know!

To the Thinga-ma-jigger!



Buckle up!

[horn toots]



Flip the Jigger-ma-whizzer.



[rousing music]



Isn't this fun?

both: Yay!
- Whoo-hoo!

♪ Here we go, go, go
on an adventure ♪

♪ The Thinga-ma-jigger
is up and away ♪

both: ♪ Go, go, go, go

♪ On an adventure

♪ We're flying with
the Cat in the Hat today ♪



[mystical music]



- If you need a good nudge

'cause your day's hit a bump,

Arcade Island's the place

to get out of that slump.
[laughs]

- There's so many games, Cat.

Can we play them?
- We could.

But I thought Nick
would rather win enough tickets

to win that...

[laughs]
The Clasper-ma-grasper.

It can grab, grip, grasp,

or snatch anything
from anywhere.

- I'd be able to grab
my car for sure with that.

- So how do we grab
enough tickets

to get the Clasper-ma-grasper?

- Playing all these
arcade games.

- Then what
are we waiting for?

Let the games begin!



Let's start here.

What's this game?

- It's the
"Hungry Harley Heave-Ho."

Harley wants that cantaloupe,

and it's your job
to feed it to him.

- [grunts]

But we can't reach
the cantaloupe.

- Is there anything we can use
to get to it?

- Only this bunch of balls.

- Those aren't for reaching.

They're for throwing
or rolling.

I wonder what'll happen
if I roll the ball

and hit the cantaloupe?

- Well, there's only one way
to find out.

- Here goes.

Ha!

Hmm, it moved a little,

but not enough
to feed Harley.

- Let me give it a try
with this beach ball.



I hit the cantaloupe
just like Nick did,

but it didn't move at all.

- That beach ball's way lighter
than the softball.

- And the softball moved
the cantaloupe a little...

- So maybe we need

something heavier than
the softball to feed Harley.

- An amazing suggestion
you've made just now, Nick.

Is there any ball here
that might help do the trick?

-Uh...

[gasps]
What about that bowling ball?

It'll be heavier
than the softball.

- [grunts]
Oh, yeah.

It's really heavy.

[both grunting]

- Ready?
One...

two...three!



[bell ringing]

- Yeah, hitting it
with the heavier ball

means Harley got his dinner.

- And you get your tickets.

[laughs]
- Yes!

Is that enough tickets
to get the Clasper-ma-grasper?

- Not quite.

I'm afraid you'll have
to win more games.

How about we try our luck

at the good old
"Chuck-a-Puck"?

[laughs]

- Are we supposed
to get that puck

to land on the bull's-eye, Cat?

- That's the target, Sally,

and here's what you use
to do it--

the puck-chucker.



- Okay, I'll chuck it
and see what happens.

[laughs]

[cheerful music]

Aw, I guess I didn't
slide it hard enough

to bump the puck
to the bull's-eye.

- Bet I can hit it harder.
- Hold on.

I have to pluck
the puck-chucker.



Okay, Sally, chuck the puck.

- [grunts]



- Wow, you chucked that
really hard.

- Too hard. It made the puck
go past the bull's-eye

and bounce all the way
back here.

- So hitting the puck softly
doesn't move it enough,

and hitting it hard
moves it too much.

- So we need to hit it
not too hard

and not too soft.
- Okay.

Everything's back in place.

Give it another try.
- [grunts]

[drumroll]



- Bull's-eye!

[bell dinging]

Way to go, Sally!



- Now can we get
the Clasper-ma-grasper?

- I want to say yes,
but I've got to say no.

Sorry.

We still need
a lot more tickets.

- Aw, we'll never get enough.

- When you've got an arcade
full of games to be won,

you'll win big with some help

from Thing Two and Thing One.

[whistles]

- Hello!
- Hello!

[both babbling]

- Yay!Ta-da!

- Ha ha!

- Are you two game
for winning some tickets?

both: Uh-huh!

[both babbling]

both: Wow.

[both babbling]



[bell dings]

both: Uh-oh.

- Those Things just don't know
their own strength.

[goofy music]



[Things whimpering]

[curious music]



- How are we ever gonna get
the Thinga-ma-jigger

out of there with all
those bumper cars in the way?

- Hmm.
[gasps]

We could drive
the bumper cars.

- What do you mean?

- The bumper cars are blocking
the Thinga-ma-jigger, right?

- Right.

- Well, what if
we bumped the cars

to move them out of the way

so the Thinga-ma-jigger
can get out?

- I certainly can't knock
that reasoning.

Let's give it a go!

[all laughing]

[cheerful music]

Buckle up, everyone!

It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

- I'm gonna bump
the first car.

[laughing]



Your turn, Sally!
- Okay.



[laughing]
- Just a few more to go.



- [laughing]

- [laughing]



- Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!

[all laughing]
Yeah!

- Only one more to go.

[all laughing]

- Okay, now we just need

to bump
the Thinga-ma-jigger off.

- Why don't you do that, Sally?

The bumper cars were your idea.

- Thanks, Nick.

Don't mind if I do.



[gasps]
It didn't work.

The Thinga-ma-jigger
is too heavy.

- Hmm.

- Maybe if we bump
the Thinga-ma-jigger

with two cars
at the same time,

we can move it!

- Now, that idea knocks it
out of the park!

- Okay.

One, two, three!

[triumphant music]

- Nice job!

Good going!

- Great idea, Sally.

Two cars were stronger
than one.

- But we still don't have
enough tickets

for the Clasper-ma-grasper.

- It's okay. I don't need it.
- You don't?

What about getting
your car out?

- All these bumping games

have given me
an amazing idea.

The Amazing Nick

will now reveal his
new magical car-getting tool!

Alakazamo!

- My yo-yo?
- What's so magical about that?

- The Amazing Nick
is onto a whole new trick.

- Right, Cat.

The yo-yo is heavier
than my car.

So, if I hit my car
just right,

I can bump it out.

Watch and be amazed
as I make my car reappear.

[cheerful music]

[all gasp]

- Nick, you are amazing!

[triumphant music]

- Ta-da!

[all cheering]



- ♪ Do-do-do-do

♪ Doodily-do

♪ Do try this at home

Let's see what Nick and Sally
are doing at home today.

[cheerful music]

- Who's ready to play
my brand new game--

"Bump-A-Rama"?

- How do we play?

- You have to move
one of these things

as close to the tree
as you can

without touching it

with your feet or hands.

- So we have to move one of
these toys with something else?

- Ah.

Now I get why the game
is called "Bump-A-Rama."

- Me too.

Huh, not too far.

- Maybe I can move it farther
if I use something heavier.



- Way to go, Sally.

She moved the bucket
and the car.

- The car moved farther
because it's on wheels.

So what if I bumped the car
with the basketball?



Whoo-hoo!
It got closer to the tree.

- What else could they bump
that's on wheels?

- Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- What are they thinking?

Aah!

- Yay, Fish!

- Yay, me!

What'd I do?

- You moved all the way
to the tree.

- Ha! I did!

All I needed was a little bump
from my friends.

- Bump-A-Rama
is a fun game to play, so...

all: Do try this at home!

[festive music]

- Okay, Sally, here comes
the snowman's head.

Oof.
There.

- [giggles]
Perfect.

- Your snowman looks
much nicer with a head.

- [giggles] And he'll look
even better when we finish him.

We want him to win the
"Best Dressed Snowman" prize

at the winter festival.

- And we've picked out exactly
what our snowman's gonna wear.

- This I've got to see.

- It's right over here.



[grunts]
Huh?

[grunts]
- What's up, Nick?

- They're all stuck in the ice.

- [grunts]

How can our snowman be
the best dressed

if he's not dressed at all?

- Whoo-hoo!

Ah, ha ha ha!

[lighthearted music]

[shivers]

An undressed snowman?

He must be cold.

- Oh, Cat, you came
just in time.

We can't get
the snowman's clothes

out of the ice.

- No clothes, no problem.

- But then he can't win the
"Best Dressed Snowman" prize

at the winter festival.

- Lucky for you, I know a place

where we can find help--
Cold Snap Island.

It has everything
the well-dressed snowman needs,

including snow.



Shall we go?

- We're already dressed for it.

- Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.

- [laughs]

Mom!

Can I go with Sally
and the Cat in the Hat

to Cold Snap Island,

where they have everything
the well-dressed snowman needs?

- Cold Snap Island?

If it's gonna help you
dress your snowman,

I'm cool with that.

- We can go!
We can go!

- I know, I know!

To the Thinga-ma-jigger!



Buckle up!

[horn toots]



Flip the Jigger-ma-whizzer.

[mystical music]



- If you want to create
the best man made of snow,

Cold Snap Island's

the very best place
you can go.

[both giggling]



- Wow.

This place is perfect
for building snowmen.

- [shivers]
I know.

It's all snow.

- Not all snow.
Look.

We could make some amazing
snowmen faces out of these.

- And there's all kinds
of hats.

- Oh, and look at these.

How are we going to decide

what our snowman
will look best in?

- It's always good to start
with a clean slate.

- What's that mean?

- It means we make
a brand-new snowman

and see what looks
best on him.

Everybody get rolling.

[cheerful music]

- I'm on it.

- [shivers]
Yes.

The faster you make
your snowman,

the sooner we can go
somewhere warm.

- Okay, Cat,

you make the bottom part.

Nick, you make the body,

and I'll make the head.

Let's go!



- [grunting]

- That snowball's a lot bigger

than the one you made
back home.

- That was for
the snowman's head, Fish.

This is for the body.

It has to be bigger.

Whoops! Oh, no!

- Uh-oh.

It's also faster!

Runaway snowman!

- Hey!

Come back!

Whoa!

[grunts]

Huh?

Wow, what's this doing here?

- Are you okay?
- Yep, and look what I found.

- [gasps]
They look like rides.

Let's try them out.

- Fish, care to ride
on a polar bear?

- It's not much of a ride.

I'm not going anywhere.

- I wonder
what makes them go?

- The rides all connect
to this rod.

- So they do.
That's so true.

- But how do they work?
- I don't know.

Huh?

The pipe is connected
to this thing--

uh, whatever it is.

- Looks to me
like a water wheel.

- A water wheel?

- Water makes the wheel
go round and round.

See?
- Whoa!

Careful, Cat!

I don't have my seat belt on!

- [gasps] You made
the polar bear go up and down

by moving the wheel.

- So the water wheel
makes the rides go.

Wouldn't it be amazing

if we could really
make them work?

- Sure!

Except there's
one little problem.

Cat says the wheel needs water
to make it go around.

- Right, and there's
no water here...

just snow and ice.

[ice snapping]

- Ice is nice.
[laughs]

- It would be nicer
if it was water.

- But if there's
a water wheel,

there must be water
around here someplace.

- We'll just have to find it.

- Wait. I thought we were here
to dress our snowman.

- We will, right after we get
this ride moving.

- Okay.
Let's find some water.

Aha!

That looks like water.



But it's not.

- [gasps]
A waterfall!

That's got to have water.

It should be called
an ice fall.

- I don't get it.

Why put a water wheel
in a place with no water?

It doesn't make sense.

- [humming]

Maybe we're missing something.

- [shivering]
I know what I'm missing--

heat.

Can't you please find
some water

so we can get on with things
and get back home?

I'm freezing!

- The only water around here
is in your bowl.

- And there's something weird
going on with it.

- Weird?
Like what?

- [shivering] It's so cold,
it's turning hard.

That's what.

Pretty soon I'm gonna be
a fish-sicle.

[shivers]

- [gasps]
It's turning to ice.

- We really need
to get something

to warm you up, Fish.

- But where are we going
to find something

on Cold Snap Island?

Everything here is cold.
- Ahem.

Not everything.

Let me introduce you to...

my Heater-ma-boodle.

[horn honks]

If you aim this part
at the sun,

it catches warm rays
of sunlight

and bounces them where you want
the heat to go,

like so.

[ice gurgling]
- [gasps]

[sighs]

I always wanted a hot tub.

- [giggles]

You've got
the only water here, Fish,

and it's not enough
to make the water wheel work.

- Wait.

The water in Fish's bowl

was ice just a minute ago
because it got so cold.

- But when Cat warmed it up
with the Heater-ma-boodle,

it was water again.

So maybe there is lots
of water here after all,

only it got so cold,
it turned into ice.

- And snow.

I bet if we heat up
all this snow

with the Heater-ma-boodle,
it'll turn into water, too.

- Lots and lots of water.
[laughs]

- Maybe even enough to make
that water wheel go!

- We'll need help.

- When you need help
with melting,

you know what to do.

Just whistle like this
for Thing One and Thing Two.

[whistles]

both: Hello!

[both babbling]

[both laughing, babbling]

- Thanks.

[cheerful music]



- [gasps]
It's starting to move.

Keep that water coming!

- Uh-huh.



- [gasps]
It's working!



- We did it!

- You melted the snow
till it turned into water.

Now the wheel goes around
like a water wheel "oughter."

[laughs]

- And when the wheel turns,
it makes this pipe turn.

- Which makes these cranks
go round and round.

- And makes the rides go.

- Quick, jump on!



[all cheering]

- Whoo-hoo!
Look at me!

I'm riding a polar bear.

[both panting]



[all giggling, cheering]

- [groans]

[descending music]

[both panting]



- Aw, is it over already?

- This was a lot of fun,

but can we find the clothes
for our snowman now?

- We already have
the perfect clothes, Sally.

- We do?
- Yep. Back at home.

- Have you forgotten
the problem we have

with the scarf and mitts?

- Nope, but now I think I know
how to fix it.

[cheerful music]

- [grunting]

It's still frozen in the ice.

- But it wouldn't be
stuck anymore

if that ice melted
into water.

- If only we had
our own Heater-ma-boodle.

- True.

There's nothing like it
under the sun.

- We don't need anything
under the sun.

We just need the sun--

the biggest Heater-ma-boodle
there is.

See?

If we move this bin
out of the way

and let the sun shine in...

- We let the heat in!

- Brilliant!



- Try the scarf now, Sally.
- It worked!

The ice melted into water!

- Let's dress up our snowman.



- Nice touch, Nick.
- What do you think?

- You figured it out.

Oh, hooray.
Oh, hoorah.

You brought in
the bright sunshine

and made the ice thaw.

And the thing you've created

just fills me with awe.

He is the best, best snowman
that I ever saw.

[all laughing]
