PBS KIDS OPENS
WORLDS OF POSSIBILITIES

FOR ALL CHILDREN

THANKS TO PBS STATIONS
AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

Boy, voice-over:
OK, there's this really bad dude

named Hacker.

THE Hacker, to you.

Boy, voice-over: Whatever.
He wants to take over

the cyberworld
from Motherboard.

[Gasp]

The kids are sucked
into Cyberspace,

and they use brainpower
to help save everybody.

Jackie: OK,
here's the plan.

Boy, voice-over:
So they travel all over

and run into all these
weird creatures

and have all these
awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save Cyberspace.

Can cool kids and a wacky bird
outsmart The Hacker?

Never.

There's only one way
to find out:

tune in to "Cyberchase"!

I call this salad
"Digit's Delight."

When I worked
for Chef Julia,

She told me
a good meal

is like
a see-saw--

well-balanced.

Veggies, fruit,
some grains,

dairy, and a
little protein.

[Chuckles] So
where's the part
that tastes good?

It all tastes
good, Jacks.

Healthy and tasty--
that's my motto.

That's your motto?

Could you hurry
it up, please?

I'm starving.

Digit:
Where was I?

Oh. The veggies
are in.

And some apple
for a little crunch.

Some multigrain
croutons,

a few cubes
of cheese,

and finally
some pine nuts.

Looks yummy, Dige.

Drizzle lightly
with olive oil.

Mix well.

Aah!
Oh!
Hey!

Voilà!

Motherboard: CyberSquad,
call coming from Castleblanca--

Two-Headed Sams.

Something is
terribly wrong.

Sam hasn't been
himself lately.

He's sleepy, sad,
cranky.

Huh?
What's going on?

Who are you
talking to?

Uh, no one.
Go back to sleep.

[Snoring]

And it's not just Sam.

Other monsters are
acting the same way.

We need help.
Find us at Cafe Bogie.

Hmm. Wonder where
Cafe Bogie is.

[Bugs buzzing]

Excuse me.
Could you tell us
where Cafe Bogie is?

Straight ahead.
Look for a long
line out front.

I hate
that place.

Why?

Ever since
it opened,

no one's been
coming here

to buy my fruits
and veggies,

and they're
going bad.

[Crying]

Everyone eats
at Bogie's.

Is the food
that good?

[Crying]
Yes. That's
the problem.

It's delicious.

Jeez. I never saw
a zombie cry before.

[Sniff sniff]

The Brussels sprouts
are still good.

Want some?

Brussels sprouts?
Ew. No, thanks.

Is this line
even moving?

Follow me, Earthlies.

Whoa there.
You got a reservation?

Do you know who I am?

Uh, no.

Agent ,
Health Inspector.

Uh, go ahead, sir.

Come on.

[Soft music playing]

Matt: There they are.

Hi, Sam. Hey, Sam.

We got here
as fast as we could.

How are you feeling?

Lousy!

Maybe the fries
aren't helping.

No! They're so good!
Just try one.

Hmm.

What do you think?

Tastes yummy.

Hey, that's the
last French fry!

You got to
share it!

No way. Let go!

You let go!

Guys, stop fighting.

Ah!

Mmm.
Mmm.

Can we please
eat something?

I'm hungry.

Excuse me.
Ready to order?

I'll have
the Medusa
Meatballs.

Sounds good.
Me, too.

Inez: Same.

I'll have
the chicken salad
sandwich.

Yum.
Yum.

My meatball
kind of tastes
like chicken.

Too bad my chicken
doesn't taste like chicken.

Can I have your last
meatball, Jacks?

Please, please,
please!

You actually
like this stuff?

Mmm. Are you kidding?
Mmm. It's scrumptious.

It's so salty, sweet,
and gloopy.

Ha ha ha!

Is that even a word?

Yikes! It's Buzz
and Delete!

Time to make
the crabby cakes!

Ooh, I love cooking!

That's all it is?
Some weird powder
and water?

How can that
be?

I don't
understand.

[Beep beep
beep beep]

♪ Ta da ♪

Hey, Dee Dee,
we're running low

on Hacker packets.

I'm going to the factory

to get some more.

Follow that bot!

[Starts engine]

[Knock knock]

[Door creaks]

[Chuckling]

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh, what
a magnificent chin.

Buzz: Uh, boss?

What is it?
Can't you see
I'm busy?

But we're all out
of Medusa Meatball
packets.

The monsters are
getting restless.

Oh. Must I do
everything myself?

Pass me those potatoes.

I don't get it, boss.

How is making
these Hacker packets

going to lead to

your total
domination

of Cyberspace?

Isn't it obvious?

The food prepared
from my Hacker packets

is delectably delicious
and totally lacking
any healthy ingredients.

Hoo! Correction--
it does use one
real food,

but not much of it!

[Beeping]

When you don't
eat healthy food,

you become weak,
sluggish, useless.

Just look.

[Snoring]

Hacker: It's only
a matter of time

until I open
another restaurant,

then another,
and soon everyone

will be eating
my food,

and all of
Cyberspace will be

as defenseless
as he is!

[Snoring]

I knew that
chicken tasted
funny.

It's not
real food.

We have to
stop him before
it's too late.

Where's Inez?

[Gasps]

What? I'm busy!
[Hiccup]

Well, well, well.

If it isn't
the meddlesome
Earth brats.

Release the beast!

Is that the best
you can do?

Run!
Run!

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

[Gasp]
We're trapped!

[Grrr]

Throw the dog
your patty!

OK, OK.

[Sniff sniff sniff]

[Gulp]

Digit: Hello.
Room service?

We'd like the
cheese, crackers,
and hummus platter.

Get some fruit,
too.

I could use
a little energy.

And some grapes.
Thanks.

OK, so, what
do we know?

We know the food
that comes from
the Hacker packets

tastes good
but it's not very
healthy.

And your body
needs healthy food.

Otherwise, you get
weak and tired.

Which is why so many
monsters in Castleblanca
are feeling lousy.

Because they're not
eating real food.

And who knows how
long they've been
eating that stuff?

But the Hacker packets
do have potato in them.

That's real food,
and it's a vegetable.

But it was only
this much potato.

Besides, the body
needs other kinds
of food,

not just veggies.

Like what?

[Knock on door]

[Door opens]

Like the food groups:

protein, like the chickpeas
in this hummus;

veggies, like these carrots.

The cheese is dairy.

The grapes are fruit,

and for grains,
we have this bread.

Mmm. This hummus
is awesome!

Come on, Inez.
Dig in.

No, thanks.
I'm not hungry,
just tired.

How do we get
the monsters

to stop eating
Hacker's junky food?

Not easy.
They all love it.

I've got it!

I filmed everything
we saw in Hacker's
factory.

You did? Huh.
Guess I was too
busy eating.

Once everyone sees
what Hacker's food
is really made of,

they'll never eat
at Bogie's again.

Excellent plan, Matt.

Come on, Nezie.
Just have a few grapes.

I said I wasn't hungry!

And don't call me
"Nezie"! Ah!

Inez, you OK?

Uh. I'm fine.

Care for a fry?

Sam, enough
with the fries.

They're not
good for you.

Well, I like them.

Me, too.

Time for show and tell,
Mattie.

Monsters of Castleblanca,

put down your forks!

Put aside your patties!

Huh?
Huh?

What you're eating
is not real food,

and we can prove it!

Hit it, Jacks.

[Beep]

The food prepared
from my Hacker packets

is delectably delicious

and totally lacking
any healthy ingredients.

Ooh. Correction--it does
use one real food,

but not much of it.

Hey, Buzzie,
the boss is
in a movie!

Huh? Hey, boss,
come see.

Hacker on video:
And when you don't
eat healthy food,

you become weak,
sluggish, useless...

What?

Ew. That's what I
was really eating?

Matt: Now you can see
that what you're eating
is not healthy!

That's why you all
feel terrible.

Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

Huh?

Huh?
Huh?

I think
it's working.

Hacker: I think
you're wrong.

Watch.

Pardon me.
Would you like
to try

my new
scare ribs?

But are they
good for you?

The real question is,
do they taste good?

Oh! So good!

Mmm.

Enjoy.

You're not gonna
get away with this,
Hacker.

That's THE Hacker
to you.

You can't serve
unhealthy food!

Oh, yes, I can.

In case you missed it,
they love it.

There's nothing
you can do
to stop me.

There is, too.

Oh? And what might
that be?

Well, um...

I liked your food.

Of course you did,
my dear.

Until I found out
what it really is!

And we're going to
tell everybody
in Cyberspace.

I have
a better idea.

You never had
a good idea
in your life.

Well, try this one:

I say I can cook
a healthy meal

that can b*at
your junky food
any day of the week.

Not a chance.

Listen up, monsters.

Digit has challenged
Hacker to a cook-off.

[Gasps]

So if Digit wins,
you'll stop making
Hacker packets

and you'll leave
Castleblanca.

Agreed.
And if I win,

you and your
playmates will
leave Cyberspace...

forever!

Mayor Wolfman:
As your mayor--

awoo!--

let me welcome you to
the Great Castleblanca Cook-off!

[Cheering]

Representing the CyberSquad,
we have the multitalented

cyboid Chef Digit!

[Cheering]

And representing, um--
representing himself,

The Hacker!

[Booing]

Go get 'em,
boss!
Yeah!

Our expert judges are

that palate-pleasing
Poddle Chef Puck!

[Cheering]

Everyone's favorite Frenchie,
Chef Foody.

[Cheering]

And from happily ever
afterville,

food delivery mogul
Little Red Riding Hood.

[Cheering]

Please, don't
call me "little."

You got it, Red.

Remember, if Digit wins,
Hacker will stop making
Hacker packets

and leave Castleblanca.

If Hacker wins, the CyberSquad
agrees to leave Cyberspace

and never return.

Awoo!

Now, that's what I call
a major wager.

Your meal will be judged
in categories:

how it looks,
how healthy it is,
and how it tastes.

Chefs, select
the ingredients
you wish to use.

Choose one,
choose all.

The choice
is yours.

You have one hour
beginning now!

[Cheering]

[Yawn]

Uh, let's see.

Fruits, dairy,
grains, protein,
and veggies.

Yep. All the food
groups are here.

Inez: Everything
we need for a healthy
meal, Dige.

Matt: What are you
going to make?

I--I don't know.
Hey!

Excuse me.

Ha! Carry on.

Oh, my.
minutes left,

and Digit hasn't
even chosen
his ingredients.

Dige, what's
the problem?

Aw, just remember
what Chef Julia
taught you--

a good meal
is like a see-saw--

well-balanced.

I know. I know.
I just don't remember

how much of everything
we need to be
really balanced.

Plus if I lose,
I'll never see
you guys again.

Aw, you can
do it, Dige.

Hey, in the cafeteria
at school,

there's this picture
on the wall.

It kind of looks
like a pie

with all the food
groups on it.

Inez: Yeah.
I'll Gwiggle it.

That's it!
Look.

It shows the
food groups

and about how much
you need to eat of each.

Inez: This half is divided
into two equal sections:

fruits and veggies.

And this half has
equal sections.

Jackie: One for grains,
one for protein--

oh, and this one's
for dairy.

Digit: Got it!
I'm cooking now!

Jackie: What are you
making, Dige?

My bodacious banana
and black bean omelet

with a side
of Brussels sprouts.

I know it's a veggie,
but do you have to use

Brussels sprouts?

Uh, boss?

Don't you think
you ought to start
cooking?

You know, in case
something goes wrong.

Yeah. There's only
minutes left.

Make that .

That's about minutes
more than I need.

Ha ha ha!

I've got
an idea.

A little sabotage
to help the boss,

just in case.

Take your
time, Dige.

You've still got
minutes.

One minute!

What?
What?
What?

[Gasp]

Someone unplugged me!

Ha ha ha!

Come on, Dige.
Time to plate
everything.

[Bell rings]

seconds.

Time's up!

[Cheering]

Chef Hacker,
what have you prepared
for our judges?

I have for you
a tasty marvel
I call Spring Rising.

It's my own
special recipe.

Hee hee!

Chef Digit?

I have prepared
for you

a banana and
black bean omelet

with a side
of Brussels sprouts.

[Cheering]

Mayor Wolfman:
First category--whose
meal looks the best?

Chef Puck.

Chef Hacker's meal
looks fantastic,

very appealing
to the eye,

but Chef Digit's
plate--well,
it's a mess.

Red?

Well, based on looks,
if I were bringing

one of these meals
to Grandma's house,

I'd choose...

Hacker's, definitely.

Chef Foody.

Hmm. Zees looks good.
Zees does not look good.

It's unanimous.
The looks portion
of the cook-off

goes to The Hacker!

You may as well
declare me the winner now.

Aw, don't
worry, Dige.
It's not over yet.

Mayor Wolfman:
Next up, whose meal
is the most healthy?

Judges.

Chef Digit's meal
is k*ller.

It includes
all food groups

and just the right
amounts of each.

As for Hacker's
meal,

there's only one
food group--maybe?

My vote goes
to Chef Digit.

Oh!
Yeah! Ha ha!

Hmm. Mm-hmm.

Uh uh uh uh.

I know Grandma
would agree

when I say
Chef Digit's meal
is healthy

and Chef Hacker's,
um...

is not.

It is clear to me
that one meal

is the very most healthy
and the very most balanced.

It is...

Chef Digit's.

[Cheering]

There you have it.

Chef Digit wins
the healthy round.

The cook-off is tied
tight as a tangled
spaghetti.

Do something,
you dunce buckets!

May I take
your picture, please?

Say cheese.

Fromage!
Cheese.

Mayor Wolfman:
We come now to
the final vote.

Whose meal tastes
the best?

The winner
of this round

will be the winner
of the Castleblanca
Cook-off.

Judges.

Chef Hacker's meal
doesn't taste
totally bad,

but I'm not
really sure what
it really is.

Now, Chef Digit's meal,
that tastes good.

Mayor Wolfman:
Red?

Uh, Red?

Chef Hacker's
food is...

edible.

But Chef Digit's
food is delicious.

What?

Oui. I agree.

The best-tasting
meal was prepared

by Chef Digit!

There you have it, my
fellow Castleblancans.

Chef Digit wins
the cook-off.

Yes!
[Cheering]

And the CyberSquad
is here to stay.

I demand a recount!

Bogie's is
officially closed,

and bye-bye, Hacker.

Inez: Grilled Brussels
sprouts with cheese
and bacon--

ah, so good.

Can I try one?

Digit: Hey. Thought
you didn't like
Brussels sprouts.

I didn't,
but I do now.

Guess I never tried
them like you make
them, Dige.

Digit: Hee hee.
What did I
tell you, Jacks?

Healthy
and tasty.

That's my motto.

Heh heh heh!

Stay right where you are.

It's "Cyberchase For Real."

I'm heading over
to my friend Jermaine's place.

He just got called
in to work,

so I'm spending the day
with his son Mekhi.

Harry, thanks for
helping me out.

My pleasure.

I got to run.
I'll see you later?

Catch you later,
Jermaine.

Wow, Mekhi.
You've really grown up.

Yeah.
It's been a while.

What's in the bag?

I'm making a special
treat for lunch.

Cool. Can I help?

No, thanks.
Just relax and prepare
to be amazed.

It's very important
to be precise

in your measurements.

[Ah-choo]

[Beeping]

Oh!

Whoa! [Coughs]

Oh.

Sorry about this.

No need to apologize.

When I first
started cooking,

I used to make
all kinds of mistakes.

You know
how to cook?

Dad taught me.

I guess I could
use your help.

Let's start with
your recipe for mac
and cheese.

It's not really
a very healthy meal.

But it's delicious...

when it's not
b*rned to a crisp.

Instead, why not make
food that tastes good

and is good for you?

For every meal,
Dad and I
include foods

from each of
the food groups.

About half of
every meal

should be fruits
and vegetables.

About half should
be whole grains,

proteins, and dairy.

So mac and cheese
isn't a food group?

No, but I think
we can make
a healthier meal

that's just as
delicious--

a frittata with toast.

What's in it?

Like this chart,
about half the meal

contains whole grains
from bread,

proteins from eggs,
and dairy from cheese.

About half is fruits
and vegetables.

Uh, I'm not a fan
of those.

I used to feel
the same way, too,

but then I tried
different vegetables

and found some
I really like,

and I'm gonna
change your mind.

Half the plate is
vegetables...

and fruit.

Tomatoes are fruit?

Yup, because they
have seeds.

These are
the ingredients

for one person's
healthy lunch.

[Crying]

Mekhi:
Mmm. Looks good.

You changed my mind.
This is delicious.

I never knew vegetables
could taste so good.

Wow, Harry.
You've really grown up.
