(honking)

- Hi! I'm Peg,

this is Cat,
and that's the Pig,

and we're going on vacation.

- In our spaceship!

- It can take us anyplace
on this map.

- A map is...?
- A picture that shows you

where stuff is.
And today, we're going to...

Bermuda!
♪♪♪

♪ For relaxation or relief ♪

♪ Nothing beats a coral reef ♪

- Right...
Or we could go to...

Puerto Rico!

They've got reggaeton.

Who doesn't love reggaeton?
- Pig, what do you think?

Bermuda or Puerto Rico?

- (Peg and Cat):
The Florida Everglades?!

- It has alligators!
- Scary!

- [Hello.]
- He meant Bermuda.

(Peg sighs.)
- Or...

♪ Puerto Rico ♪

Again with the Florida. Yay.

- We can't agree
where to spend our vacation!

This is a BIG PROBLEM!

- He keeps tracing the lines
of that triangle.

- The Pig does
love triangles!

(Peg gasps.)
That's it!

A triangle's got three points,
each connected by a line.

And a line is the shortest
distance between any two points.

- So?
- So why don't we just go

to Bermuda, Puerto Rico,
and Florida

on our vacation?
We've already got a map

with the shortest distance
between all three places.

- And a super-fast spaceship
to fly us there!

Spaceship!

♪ And after, we explored
a while, off to Florida ♪

(Cat humming)

(steel drum music)

(Peg sighing contentedly)
This is the life.

Sun, sand,

snorkeling, Ramone...
(Peg gasps.)

Ramone?!
- Hey, Peg.

- You're a waterskiing
instructor?

- I'm teaching the Three Bears
how to form a triangle.

(Pig laughing)
- The Pig approves!

- That triangle reminds me
of our cool vacation.

(Pig laughing)
We couldn't agree on a place,
so we're flying back and forth.

(He gasps.)
Peg, somewhere inside

that triangle on your map
is the Bermuda Triangle.

(Peg and Cat gasping)
- The Bermuda Triangle?!

- What exactly is that anyway?
- Yeah, I, uh,

I have absolutely no idea.
- According to legend,

anyone who goes inside the lines
of that triangle

disappears.
- Whoa!

- They're just gone?
- Stay outside of the
Bermuda Triangle.

Don't fly that way.

(Peg gasps.)
- No!

The plane's flying the Pig
into the Bermuda Triangle!

(funky music)

Stop the plane!

- You're heading straight
into the Bermuda Triangle.

- The Bermuda Triangle

from which no one has
ever returned? I'm out of here!

- (Ramone): The Pig's falling!

- I got him!

- Woohoo!
- Yes!

- Are you OK, Pig?

(screaming)

(Ramone gasps.)
Look!

- That might be a problem.

Look!
(Pig laughing)

The triangular opening
we came through is shrinking!

If we don't leave soon,
we'll be trapped here!

- This is a really
weird problem.

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right. I should count
backwards from five

to calm down.
But there's no time!

Goodbye, Pig!

- When we get back,
can you show us

how to do that triangle thing
that the Three Bears were doing?

- That's it, you triangle-
formation-remembering genius!

- Huh?
- If we can get the Pig

to form a triangle with us
on the water skis,

we can bring him back home.

Oh, Pig, how about
one more triangle before we go?

- ♪ I love triangles ♪

- We got him!

- But the opening's
almost closed!

- And there's a ton of triangles
in the way.

Which way should I drive?

A curving path? A zigzag?

- The shortest distance
between two points

is a straight line,
so go straight.

We made it!
- Woohoo!

- Yeah! By working with
triangles and straight lines,

we rescued the Pig.

this whole adventure

makes me think about math,

to, like, sing a big song?

let's not sing one this time.

- Hmm, wow! And just what kind
of Toad did you use to be?

- A mischievous Toad indeed.

- Who we're delighted to see.

- Oh, come here. Peg and Cat,

meet Mouse and Squirrel.

- Any friends of this old rascal
are friends of ours.

- Look, Toadsy, we packed you
your favorite.

(Toad gasps.)
- A cube-shaped picnic basket.

- Yes. Still love
cubes, do you?

- With their squares
on every side.

- Careful! You'll
shake up the... soda pop.

- Yeah, but who has
time for eating?

Let's do our old handshake.

- (both): High slap!

Belly bump!

- (both): High slap!

Belly bump!
- Oh my!

(clatter)
I'm fine.

- That handshake was awesome!

- It's a pattern!
That's when you do things

in a certain order
over and over.

- Like high slap!

Belly bump!

High slap!

Belly slap!

- Oh! You, belly slapper!

- I messed up the pattern.

- I love a good pattern!

♪♪ Listen to the river ♪

♪ Babbling with each bubble ♪

♪ Can't you hear the pattern? ♪

♪ Blub, gubble, blub, gubble ♪♪

- I hear it!
- It's like the
handshake patterns.

First thing, second thing,
first thing, second thing.

- Blub, gubble, blub, gubble!

- It's blub-glubbly glorious.

- Now, now, Toadsy,
let's not get

too excited about
patterns, hmm?

- You remember what happened
last time at Toad Lodge?

- Oh! Toad Lodge!

Oh, you guys got to see
where I grew up -

across the river.

The only safe way
to cross the river

is by hopping on these stones
in a pattern.

Circle, circle, square, square.
You see?

- What happens if we mess up
the pattern?

- Circle, circle, square...

Uh, circle? Oh! Oh!

- You get a wet tuchus.

- Hey, this pattern's different!

- You're right, Cat!

The high-slap,
belly-bump pattern goes

First thing, second thing,
first thing, second thing.

But the river-crossing pattern
goes first thing,

first thing, second thing,
second thing.

- Circle, circle,
square, square.

- Circle, circle,
square... Whoa!

The last square rock
sank into the mud!

We can't finish the pattern.
- If we don't,

I'll get a wet tuchus.
What's a tuchus?

- Your bottom.
- I don't want a wet tuchus.

- This is a BIG PROBLEM!

- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh-oh!

Oh, I got our basket wet.
- But you saved our tuchuses.

by making a square step.
- I did?

Since every side of the cube
is a square,

we can hop on that square

and get safely
across the river.

And so...

is the pattern of sounds

the engine makes:
puff, puff, hiss, hiss,

- Oh, he's fallen into
his worst habit from childhood:

crazy driving.
- What's a habit?

- It's something
you do over and over,

hardly even realizing it.

- And Toad's crazy driving
has a dangerous pattern.

First, he swerves,
then he swerves again,

then he bumps into something,

then he bumps
into something else.

- Swerve, swerve, bump, bump.

- Oh, as a boy, he was covered
in bruises and scrapes.

- Even on his tuchus?

- Especially on his tuchus.
- Ah!

- So he could really
hurt himself.

- This is a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

- Yaa-ah! Aaah!

- We've got to catch him.

- We can use
one of his old carriages.

- What's a carriage?

- A big wheely-thing
pulled by a horse.

- Good explanation
of a carriage.

- The cube-shaped
carriage is faster.

- Oh yes, it is!

By sight. Mmm-hmm!

- But I can never remember
which one is the cube.

- Me neither.
Meeeee neeeee--

- Could you please stop
talking for a moment?

- Yes.

- A cube's got squares
on its sides.

This one has triangles,
but this one has squares.

- So this is the carriage
that's cube-shaped.

- Ooh! And faster!

- Wheee! Woo! Yahoo!

- I think I figured out
the pattern of your handshake.

High slap!

Belly bump!

High slap!

High bump!
- You high bumper!

- Oh, I messed up
the pattern again!

- Yahoo!
- It's Toad!

We've almost got him!

- Toadsy, be a good chap
and slow down.

- Ya-ah!
- Oh no!

He's driving in that pattern!

- Waah!
- Swerve!

- Wheee!
- Swerve!

- Ooh!
- Bump!

- Whoa!
- Bump!

- He went that way!
After him, Pony!

- Uh, sorry, that there road's
too rough for my hooves.

- But we'll never catch up
with Toad on foot!

- Uh, you're welcome.

- It's his old rowboat.
- Let's hop in!

- And paddle!

Are we there yet?
- Uh, we'll never
catch Toad this way.

- We need to all row together
in a pattern!

First, Mouse and Squirrel,

then me and Cat.
You two, us two.

You two, us two.
- It's working!

- (Peg and Cat): You two,
us two. You two, us two.

- Yahoo!

- Toad!
- Whee!

- He's doing
that pattern again!

- (Peg and Cat): Swerve, swerve,
bump, bump.

Swerve, swerve, bump, bump.

Swerve, swerve, bump, bump.

Swerve, swerve, bump, bump.

- Whee! Haha! Aaah!

- A leak! Abandon ship!

Abandon... Oh.

- We can't catch Toadsy
with a leaky rowboat.

- He is going to keep
swerving and bumping

till he really hurts himself.

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

- Mr. Cat is right, Peg.

- You should count
backwards from five

to calm down.
- Five, four,

three...
- High slap, high slap,

- two... one!
- Belly bump. Yah!

- Ah-ah-ah! Oof-oof-oof!

Ah-ah-ah! Oof-oof-oof!

- Cat, that's it!
- No, it's not!

I didn't get
that handshake pattern!

- But you did change the pattern
into a new one.

You slipped three times,
bounced three times.

- Slipped three more times,
bounced three more times.

- Then landed softly
on your tuchus.

- So if we change Toad's pattern
to this one...

- He too might land softly.
- And safely.

- So, let's get
some pattern-changing stuff.

If this collection
of "nature-y" stuff

doesn't bring Toad
