- Hooble doo Tiddlypeeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba, talking

to you from Hoobland

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to Earth to find

out all about you,

for my great Hoobopaedia.

Here they come!

♪ You know how the Hoobs are ♪

♪ Iver Groove and

Tula! We're Hoobs! ♪

♪ And they're ready to go ♪

♪ Now their wheels are turning ♪

♪ We can all get learning ♪

♪ All the things

We want to know ♪

♪ Ya hey! ♪

♪ Hubba Hubba's in Hoobland ♪

♪ And Roma's

Somewhere far away ♪

♪ The Motorettes are singing ♪

♪ We keep the engines spinning ♪

♪ Hoob Hoob hurray! ♪

♪ The Hoobmobile Is

coming your way ♪

♪ The Hoobs are here

So what do you say ♪

♪ Hoobs! ♪

(humming)

(laughing) Nothing like

a hooby sandwich hammer

to make a nice flat

cheese sandwich

Oh, yes! Just the

way Hoobs like them

Yeah, hoobalicious!

Uh.

Groove, I think you should

save that sandwich for later.

You've already had three today.

Okay, I'll just hold it.

(panting) Hooble doo

Tula, Hooble doo Groove.

I want you two to come

and look at something!

Come on!

That sounds mysterious!

And that sounds like someone

eating a cheese sandwich,

Groove, what did I tell you?

(mumbles) - [Tula]

What is it Iver?

Come on, come on,

look, look, look!

Someone has been

eating our hoob cable!

(gasps) Oh no! We've

got to do something!

Yes! But what?

♪ What ♪

♪ What what what ♪

♪ What what ♪

♪ What what what ♪

We've got to find out

what's eating our Hoobmobile

and think of a question

for today's Hoob News.

Well don't let me stop you.

I'll just see what I can

see with the Hooby Seemore.

Aha!

Mouse paw prints!

Mouse paw prints?

- [Tula] Yes!

All around the cable!

That must mean we've

got a hungry little

furry creature living

in our Hoobmobile!

Oh I'm sorry does anyone want

a bite of my cheese sandwich?

Groove, a mouse is

eating our Hoobmobile

and all you can think about

is eating cheese sandwiches?

But, cheese sandwiches are

what I like best to eat.

And apart from that

they help me think.

Then why don't you

think of a question

for today's Hoob News?

Oh, wait a minute!

Groove's given me an idea!

If we feed the mouse what

he likes best to eat,

then maybe he'll stop

eating our Hoobmobile.

Good idea, Tula.

But what do mice

like best to eat?

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

What do mice like best to eat?

That's a hooble

dooble duper question.

That's good, because

it's definitely something

we need to know!

You and every other

Hoob out there.

The answer can go straight

into my Hoobopaedia.

But what if we find

out that mice like

to eat Hoobmobiles best?

Oh, uh, well I'll see

what I can find out

on Hoobnet to get you started.

Hmm, so, mice are animals.

What can we find out

about, what animals eat?

Ah! Now that's chewing.

There's a bird, oh it's

eating a leaf from a tree!

And there's another

animal eating some grass,

another bird.

There's a monkey.

Oh another one.

There's another monkey eating.

Oh, he didn't like that.

Oh, what's this animal?

Eating from under the ground.

Oh and there's a mouse

running into a hole.

Ah, there's another mouse,

crawling around a cat.

Aw.

Phew, not one of those animals

was eating a Hoobmobile.

- [Groove] No, that's right,

and not one was eating

a cheese sandwich

either because that is my job.

That mouse didn't eat anything.

He just ran into a little hole.

Do you think that's

where he lived?

That's it!

Mice live in holes,

that means our mouse

must have a hole

somewhere around here.

And if we found it,

we could ask him...

What he likes best to eat!

Oh, Tula well done!

That mouse hole must be

around here somewhere.

But, where?

♪ Where where where? ♪

♪ Where? ♪

Come on! Come on, come on!

Why don't we follow the trail

of the things he's nibbled?

Oh, look down there he's

nibbled our table leg

Oh! And look, a little

nibbled piece of hoobytape

- Where?

- Right by that

little hole in the wall.

Ah! That's it!

We found the mouse hole!

Come on, let's take a look Iver.

Can you see him?

Nope.

Oh dear, how can we

find out what a mouse

likes best to eat if we

can't even find our mouse?

I've got it!

In the pictures Hubba

Hubba got from Hoobnet,

there was a cat sleeping

while a little mouse

ran around him, well I

bet the mouse was waiting

for his cat friend

to wake up and play.

Good thinking Groove!

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's pretend we're

cats and then maybe

the mouse will come out to play.

(Hoobs meowing)

(Iver sighs)

Perhaps, he's not at home.

No he's probably out

eating our Hoobmobile.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Have you got some

cats in there Hoobs?

(laughing)

No, we were just

pretending to be cats!

(laughing) Oh very

good, very good.

You fooled me, you

know (laughing).

Anyway, look.

I think I found a story

that might help you.

Thanks Hubba Hubba,

after all that meowing

I could use a good story!

Hey, does anybody

want a cheese sandwich

for you know after the story?

- [Both] Groove!

I'll take that as a yes then.

Here we go, now

take a look at this.

- [Narrator] Once upon a time,

there was a little

mouse called Marvin.

(Running water)

One day, Martin set

off across the meadow.

He was looking for a

nice warm mouse hole.

Marvin saw a rabbit hole.

"This looks like a nice

warm hole," he thought,

and he crept inside.

But oh dear, it was

cold in the rabbit hole.

And besides, there

were too many rabbits.

So Marvin went

back to the meadow.

Then he saw a queen

wasp sitting in a hole

in an oak stump.

"Please may I squeeze in

beside you?" asked Marvin.

"Hmm, if you must",

replied the queen wasp.

But the wind blew all

around the oak stump

and made Marvin shiver.

(Wind howling)

(Chattering teeth)

So Marvin went

back to the meadow.

Next, he found a stone.

He looked underneath it,

and there was a big

toad, sitting in a hole.

"Please may I squeeze in

beside you?" asked Marvin.

"Right, if you must,"

replied the toad.

But it was damp and chilly,

and Marvin didn't like

it one little bit.

So Marvin went

back to the meadow.

Suddenly, a snake

slid across the grass.

(Hissing)

Marvin was so

frightened that he ran

as fast as he could.

He ran past the rabbit hole,

past the tree stump,

and past the stone.

Then suddenly he stumbled

over the roots of a tree

and he fell down, down, down.

He landed with a bump.

He looked around and

where do you think he was?

In a lovely hole full

of crisp, dry leaves.

He snuggled down, this

was just what he wanted.

Marvin was very, very happy and

very, very warm.

That story made me think...

Actually it was the cheese

sandwich made you think.

What were you thinking Iver?

If mice like to be warm,

maybe our mouse

would like something

warm in his mouse hole.

- Groove!

- Yes?

Could you stop whacking

sandwiches for a minute

and hand me one of

our hooby nosewarmers?

No problem.

Is your nose cold Iver?

No.

Ah, I have got an idea.

Do you think the

mouse's nose is cold?

In the story, the mouse

wanted to be warm,

so our mouse will love this.

And when he comes

out to thank us,

we can ask him what

he likes best to eat.

Well, I hope that

mouse pops out soon

or we won't be

ready for Hoob News.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

We still don't know

the answer Hubba Hubba.

But we're getting closer!

Have you thought about

asking the Tiddlypeeps?

I bet they know a thing

or two about mice.

Good idea, Hubba Hubba.

The Tiddlypeeps always help.

- I'll go and see

them - I'll drive!

And, I'll stay here

and make sandwiches.

- Seatbelt?

- Mm-hmm!

- [Both] We're off to

see the Tiddlypeeps!

Hey everyone

- [Girls] It's Iver!

Want to do a hooby hello?

- [Girls] Yes

- Come on.

- Hooble doo,

Hooble doo, woo, woo, woo!

Come close, come closer.

I need to ask you something,

does anyone know

anything about mice?

Do you know anything about mice?

Yes, they have long

whiskers like this.

And they have a

long tail like this.

Oh! Right, whiskers,

and long tails, I see.

Is there anything else?

Yes!

They squeak like

this (squeaking)

I see!

Oh, is that how mice talk

to their cat friends?

What cat friends?

Well, the nice cat friends

who like playing with mice.

(laughing) What? What?

- [Girls] Mice hate cats!

Hooby galooby, I

never knew that!

How do you know?

We know a song

about mice and cats.

- You do?

- Hey

- [Iver] Would you

sing it for me?

where have you been? ♪

♪ I've been to London

To visit the Queen. ♪

♪ p*ssy cat p*ssy cat

♪ I frightened a little

Meow! (squeaking)

Oh no, oh, that poor mouse!

Are mice scared of

Tiddlypeeps too?

- [Girls] Yes!

Well, if they're

scared of Tiddlypeeps,

then they're probably scared

of Hoobs.

(giggling) Oh dear,

thank you very much.

Oh, Hooble toodle doo!

- [Girls] Hooble toodle doo!

Right then, if mice

don't like cats

and our mouse is too

shy to talk to us

because we're Hoobs then,

there's only one thing for it.

A cheese sandwich?

No, Groove.

We'll have to dress up as mice.

I'll make the costumes,

then our mouse won't

be scared of us,

and he'll tell us what

he likes best to eat

if we squeak at him (laughing)

Our poor mouse must've

been so frightened

when we pretended we were cats.

I hope he didn't run away.

Ha, don't worry.

Look, he's still here.

I can't believe we

know so much about mice

and yet still don't know

what they like to eat best.

(Chewing loudly)

(Sighs)

Isn't cheese the most

hoobly groobly thing ever?

Can you stop going

on about cheese

and help us get the

answer to our question?

(sighs) Did you know that

the moon is made of cheese?

Think of it (sighs)

- Cheese?

- Yeah

- It's not - It is.

- You sure?

- Really?

This isn't one of your stories.

- No it is.

- No, it's true -

- Roma, Roma, Roma.

- [Tula] Hey, there's a

report from Roma coming in!

Roma!

Oh, yay! (laughing)

Hooble doo Hoobs!

As you can see, I'm

standing on the moon.

Now, let me tell you, it's cold,

it's dark, and it's very,

very interesting, yay!

Now, the moon goes round

and round the earth.

It's full of huge,

deep craters and

there's no air to breathe.

Which is why I'm wearing

this fantabby hoobyhelmet.

Also, there's very little

gravity which means

I'm much lighter

than I am on Earth,

so I can jump

higher, watch this.

Yay! (laughing) Yay!

I better be careful not to

land in one of those craters.

Now, the best thing I

can do while I'm here

is to tell you all that

there is absolutely no truth

in that funny old

story about the moon

being made of cheese.

I repeat, the moon is

not made of cheese.

Ha, how could it be?

If it were made of cheese,

it would be covered in mice

wouldn't it? (laughing)

This is Roma Hoob,

signing off from the moon.

Hooble dooble doo! Yay! Ho!

Whee!

The moon's not made of cheese?

That's terrible news,

I'm gonna need another

cheese sandwich to get over it.

You can't have one,

we're out of hoobybread.

I'll just have the cheese then.

Forget the cheese,

we still don't know

what mice like best to eat!

Oh no!

- What?

- What?

I think maybe our

mouse likes eating

our mouse costumes best.

- [Computer] Hubba Hubba,

Hubba Hubba, Hubba Hubba.

Oh dear, that's Hubba Hubba.

He's going to want to know

if we've got an answer.

Oh, hooble doo Hoobs,

do you have the answer yet?

No.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure,

I'm sure you're much

closer than you think

What's that you're eating?

Well it's a cheese

sandwich, Groove, what else?

- Helps me think.

- Hey!

And I think one more

visit to the Tiddlypeeps

just might do it.

And this time, I've got an idea.

What you doing?

I'm taking a bit of everything

to show the Tiddlypeeps

then they can show us

what mice like best

to

eat (chuckling)

Mmm, nice cheese.

Wait a minute, you

can't take my cheese.

Why not?

Well because, I

might want to eat it

Alright, alright, um...

Break a little piece off then.

There you go.

- Whatcha...

- [Tula] Let's get this show

- on the road!

- He's taking my cheese.

We're off to see

the Tiddlypeeps!

But... But my cheese!

- [Girls] Hooble doo, Iver!

I'm so glad, I found you.

We are trying to

find out what a mouse

likes best to eat and um,

I brought some

things along with me

to show you, can you help me?

- [Girls] Yes!

- [Iver] Oh hoobly groobly!

Now then, let me

see. (chuckling)

Um... Ah!

Would a mouse like this best?

Oh (chuckling) okay, um.

Would a mouse like...

this best?

- [Iver] No?

Would a mouse like this best?

What about

cheese?

- [Girls] Yes, yes!

- [Iver] Are... are

you telling me that

a mouse likes

cheese best of all?

- [Girls] Yes!

Yes, hooby galooby!

Did you hear that?

Groove, Groove,

did you hear that?

We've got the answer

to our question.

Cheese! (laughing) And

just in time for Hoob News.

What would we do

without you Tiddlypeeps?

Hooble toodle doo!

- [Girls] Hooble toodle doo!

Who'd have guessed it?

Mice like cheese best to eat.

Well they're not

going to eat all mine.

That's why Roma said that if

the moon was made of cheese,

it would be covered in mice!

Oh! (laughing)

Sorry Groove, but for the

sake of Hoobs everywhere

we must test this out.

But with? That's my cheese!

(Sighs in frustration)

I'm going to put this

teeny tiny piece of cheese,

in front of our mouse

hole and a bit of cable

and an ear from

our mouse costume.

And whichever one he chooses,

will be the one he likes best.

I hope he comes out quickly,

because it's almost

time for Hoob News.

(squeaking) What was that?

It must've been the

mouse saying thank you!

Oh, what did he choose?

The cheese!

- [All] Hoob Hoob hurray!

Well, I never knew that I

was so much like a mouse.

Come on in Hoobs, we've

got a Hoob News to do!

Yes!

Well done Hoobs, perfect timing.

So, give me what you've got,

on what mice like best to eat

for the Hoobopaedia.

Hooble doo woo to all

you Hoobs out there,

welcome to Hoob News, the new

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

I'm Tula.

And I'm Groove.

And today we've been

asking the question...

What do mice like best to eat?

Well, it all started when

we found that a mouse

was eating our Hoobmobile.

- [Iver] We decided to

find out where mice live

so that we could ask our mouse,

what he liked best to eat,

so he'd stop eating

all our stuff.

- [Groove] And we found that

mice live in mouse holes.

Then we followed the

trail of nibbled things

to our own mouse's mouse hole.

Then I made a cheese sandwich.

- [Tula] And we made a

bit of a hooby booboo.

We pretended to be

cats because we thought

mice liked cats.

- [Iver] But then the

Tiddlypeeps told us,

that mice don't like cats.

Then we heard a story

that said mice like

nice warm mouse holes.

- [Tula] So we put

a hooby nosewarmer

in our mouse's mouse hole.

- [Groove] And I had

another cheese sandwich.

- [Iver] Then we got

a report from Roma.

- [Groove] And she told

us that the moon was

not made of cheese!

- [Iver] And she gave

us a clue about mice,

but we didn't listen

hard enough to that.

We knew lots of

things about mice

but we still didn't know

what they liked best to eat.

- [Tula] So, we went off

to the Tiddlypeeps again

- [Groove] And they

told us the answer.

Are you telling me that a

mouse likes cheese best of all?

- [Girls] Yes!

Yes, hooby galooby!

- [Tula] So we did our own

experiment to check it out.

♪ Nibbling at our hoob

cable, eating up our house ♪

♪ We can't give our home to

this hungry little mouse ♪

♪ Let's find out what

he likes to eat ♪

♪ Let's give him a

delicious treat ♪

♪ Then he won't be

ever so hungry ♪

- [Tula] And the

Tiddlypeeps were right.

Of course.

So, the thing mice

like best to eat is...

- [All] Cheese!

So it's thanks once again

to Iver, Tula, Groove

and Roma for giving

Hoobs everywhere

a little peep into

the world of peeps

and remember, have

a nice hooby day

and Hooble toodle doo!

- [All] Hooble toodle doo!

Well I suppose it's time

for a cheese sandwich

(Tula squeaking)
