[grunts]

Hmm...

[yells]

-[gasp]
-What was that?

[both gasp]

It looks like...

[both] Cheese!

Cheddar, to be exact.

Daisy and I were staying at my
Aunt Adele's Bed and Breakfast

in Wisconsin.

Where, no matter what
you may have heard,

it does not usually
rain cheese.

This was just a terrible
mistake,

and it was about to destroy

one of my most cherished
childhood memories.

Let me explain.

[all giggling]

Thank you!

Now, be sure to give
our love to Aunt Adele.

You know I will.

I hope she recognizes me!

I hope I recognize Willows!

I haven't been back since we
moved here when I was eight.

Whenever you talk about it,
your eyes go all "glowy."

I'm sure it's amazing.

It was kind of a magical place.

Full of happy memories,

dear friends
and a lot of cheese.

Hence, being the home
of Cheddarfest.

The world's cheesiest
celebration of cheese.

Ha! Two of my favorite things:
cheesy festivals,

and cheese!

What are we waiting for?

Let's go!

[adventure music]

Are we there yet?

So, yeah, it's a pretty
long drive

from Malibu to Wisconsin...

I know! You brought
your guitar, right?

-Play something.
-I thought you'd never ask.

Barbie, we have
a stowaway!

[meows]

Blissa!

Someone's excited about
the road trip.

You know what? Willows is
Blissa's hometown, too.

Barbie, I know there's
something you've been wanting
for a long time.

Oh, Aunt Adele!
Is it a unicorn?

How did you get it to fit
in there?

[laughs]
Go on, you kidder.

Just take a peek.

-[gasps]
-[meow]

A kitten? Oh, she's even better
than a unicorn!

Can I keep her?
Can I? Really?

She's all yours.

-[giggles]
-[purrs]

Oh, now that's a happy kitty!

Downright blissful.

So, we'll call her Blissa!

That's the perfect name.

[sighs]

[tunes guitar]

That place means
a lot to you.

-It does.
-That's so sweet.

But I personally would have gone
with the unicorn.

-No offense.
-[meows]

Blissa is way cuter.

You got me there.

So, what should we sing?

I dunno, make
something up.

[strums up-tempo song]

[Barbie]: That's pretty good!

[hammering]

Aunt Adele!

[gasps]

Barbie!

[grunts] Whoa!

-Hold on!
-We got you.

-[gasps]
-[all grunt]

-[all groan]
-Whew! Good ol' Barbie.

Always right there
when you need her.

Oh, look at you!
All grown up!

And this lovely young lady
must be Daisy.

-You know it!
-Spunky!

I already like her.

[meows]

-[meows]
-[gasps]

Is that Blissa?

I haven't seen her
since she was a kitten.

What in the world
is she doing here?

Guess I'm not the only one
who missed you!

-The little stowaway.
-[meows]

[all laughing]

Let's get inside.

Wow!

So, what were you doing
up on that ladder?

And where's Hank?

Oh, I do everything
around here now.

I had to let Hank and everybody
else go.

Business just isn't
what it used to be.

[meows]

Now, that's something
you don't see every day.

A life-sized cow
carved out of cheese?

Huh? Oh, no.

I meant the old-timey phone.

But, this girl's
pretty cool too.

Mm-hmm.
A gift from a local cheesemaker

for Harry Havarti.

[both] Who?

The Wisconsin Warbler?

Had a couple hits
a few years ago.

"Pleased for Cheese"?

"Cheese and Qs"?

"The Cheese Stands Alone"?

No?

Well, anyway,
it's a big deal around here.

He's agreed to perform for the
closing night of Cheddar Fest.

Totally sold out.

And good thing, too.

-[car horn honks]
-Oh, he's here!

Quick, help me hide Bessie!
Don't wanna ruin the surprise.

We got it.
You help your guest.

Easy... One, two, three...

[groans]

[straining and groaning]
C'mon.

She's so heavy!
Push! Push!

Why couldn't it have been
Swiss cheese?

Why'd I get the back end?

[both gasp]

[sniffs]

Welcome to the Windy Willows,
Mr. Havarti.

We're so thrilled to have you
performing here.

You should be.

You're very lucky I had
an opening in my schedule.

I'm usually booked solid,
you know.

[Adele]: Of course, of course.

Who knew cheese
was so heavy?

Just.. a little...

further!

[gasps]

[yells]

[nervous laugh]
Darn furnace.

Such a racket when it turns on.

Anyway, can I get you
anything else

to make your stay
more pleasant?

I need a mint on my pillow
every night.

For breakfast: orange juice,
freshly squeezed.

Okay.

Push! Push!

-[grunts]
-We can do it!

[purring]

Whew. There.

Bessie can room with us
until she surprises Harry.

Cheese! [laughs]

If that doesn't say "Wisconsin",
I don't know what does.

Ah! There you go, girls.
Thanks for covering for me!

You go through this much
trouble for all your guests?

Well, truth is, there are
no other guests.

Like I said:
business is bad.

But, the show!
It sold out!

Yeah. I put practically
every last penny I had
into promoting it.

I didn't want to spoil
your trip, Barbie,

but the truth is,
if this show doesn't bring in
a whole lot of new customers,

I'm afraid the Windy Willows Inn
will have to close.

[gasps]

The Windy Willows Inn was
about to go out of business?

What terrible news!

I loved the Windy Willows.

I practically grew up
in those rooms.

There was no way I was
gonna let Aunt Adele down.

[rooster crows]

Morning, girls. Just on my way
to the coop for some fresh eggs.

Make yourselves at home.

Wow. An egg from
an actual chicken!

What's that like?

Lot of memories?

Yeah. I can't even imagine

the Windy Willows
not being here anymore.

Wait, we just can't
let that happen.

I thought I specifically asked
for fresh-squeezed!

[gasps]

Of course.

We'll get that for you
right away.

Um, why don't you have a seat
outside on the porch?

-Fresh air is very good
for the vocal cords.
-[angrily] Hey!

A-ha!

[Daisy]: What are you doing?

My parents gave Aunt Adele
this electric juicer

for her birthday ages ago.

Looks like she's never
even used it.

Yeah. She kind of likes to do
things old school, doesn't she?

Well, we're gonna help her out
a little new school.

-You know how this thing works?
-Sure.

I think.

Fruit goes in here,
juice comes out there.

[machine grinds]

-Where does the lid go?
-Lid?

[both sputter and yell]

Turn it off! Turn it off!

Oh! Goodness!

-[screams]
-[loud crash]

[grinding stops]

Aunt Adele!

How are you feeling?
Can I get you anything?

Oh, I'm just fine, dear.

The doctor said
you need to rest.

Daisy and I will handle
everything.

Including the cleaning.

Now, Barbie, I don't want
you working while you're here.

And it has nothing to do with
the orange juice incident.

No, no, I insist!

Daisy and I are going to do
everything we can
to lighten your load.

And that means bringing a few
things into the modern era!

Yeah! You know that old vacuum
cleaner of yours?

Well, I gave it a little
high-tech makeover.

-Look!
-[claps]

[vacuum whirrs]

[beeps]

Oh, my!

Introducing Vac-Bot!

I had to improvise a bit
with whatever parts

I could find lying around
but, it should hold up.

It even responds
to voice command.

Barbie, I'm not used to
conversing with my appliances,

but, uh, I suppose if it helps
us get through Cheddarfest.

Vac-Bot, clean under
the table, please.

[beeps]

Ooh! Okay! Not bad.

[growls]

-[hisses]
-[Barbie]: Blissa! No!

[electric zapping]

[Barbie]: No!

No! Blissa!

[all gasp]

[Adele]: Oh!

[gasps] Vac-Bot, off!

-[vacuum whirrs]
-Oh, dear! Oh, no!

No! Wait!

I got it! [screams]

-Oh no!
-[both grunt]

That is what I call
fresh-squeezed.

-[yelps]
-Vac-Bot, stop!

[screams]

[both sigh]

Whew.

[loud boom]

-[Harry coughs]
-[gasps]

Mr. Havarti, are you okay?

We're so sorry!

I will need all my things
cleaned and pressed for free.

And my payment rate
just went up.

I get extra for hazardous
conditions.

Of course, of course.

[coughs]

Does that thing understand
"go to your room?"

Making dinner's next, huh?

Yeah. It's the least I could do.

Provide a delicious
home-cooked meal for Harry

so Aunt Adele can finish
her nap.

Now, the menu called for
schnitzel in a blanket,

with your choice of:
french fried cheese curds,

deep fried cheese curds,

or cheese curds
in cheese curd sauce.

Guess it's an old favorite?

Yep. Unfortunately, I couldn't
find the recipe,

so I made a hearty, healthy
salad instead.

Our first and only customer.

We can't let anything go wrong.

Good evening, Mr. Havarti.

Where's the... food?

Oh, right there!
The kale and quinoa.

It's organic
and full of vitamins.

I did not
come to Cheddar Fest

to be served something
other than cheese!

Oh! What utter nonsense!

I guess quinoa isn't
for everyone.

Okay. So, some of our help
hasn't exactly been helpful.

I know you mean well, Barbie,

but I'm just not ready for all
these newfangled inventions.

This one's different.
We swear.

Okay. You know how
you've been heating all
the rooms in the place,

even when there are
no guests in them?

Yes, that's just the way
my clunky old furnace works.

But that's just it,
it doesn't have to!

We did a little research online,

and found out that
with this remote,

you can control what rooms
get heated, when.

So, you're not wasting
any energy.

Well... [laughs nervously]
I'm all for saving energy.

Maybe we'll try it out tomorrow.

How about a little help getting
to my room, girls?

Sure.

[meows]

-[remote beeps]
-[meows]

-[remote beeps]
-[meow]

-Goodnight, Daisy.
-Goodnight, Barbie.

Goodnight, Bessie.

Moo!

[both giggle]

Where do they keep the snacks?

A person could starve
around here.

[grunts]

[yells]

What was that?

[both gasp]

It looks like...

-[both] Cheese!
-[gasps] What in the world?

Harry! Harry, are you all right?

This place isn't worth saving!
Good luck with your show.

I quit!

So, we melted a cheese cow
on him. These things happen.

Do they?
Not before I showed up.

This isn't your fault, Barbie.

I'm the one who got
the Windy Willows into trouble

in the first place.

Face facts. There's just
no place in the world

for my kind of business anymore.

We can't just give up.
This place is too special!

I mean, look at it.
It's one of a kind!

Aunt Adele,
you're one of a kind.

Oh, you girls are so sweet.

If only there were more
young people out there

who'd appreciate this place
the way you do.

I know there are, we just...

We just need to get
the word out!

So others can come here
and see what we see!

You mean, bring in more
young customers?

Well, I've tried. That's why I
was doing the show with Harry.

You know, to bring in
the "hip" crowd.

Yeah, right, no,
it was a solid idea.

Just not the right kind of hip.

-You need something more modern.
-More fun.

People wanna go out and...

Kick up their heels and...

[together] Dance party!

[scratching record]

This dance party is gonna
blow people away!

Check out my light show.

Awesome.
How's the sound system?

-[electronic music]
-Testing, one, two, three.

[electronic music]

Sounds amazing!

Whoo!
Oh, yeah, this is great!

Uh-uh-uh!

[meows]

Ha-ha, even Blissa digs it.

-[music stops]
-[gasps]

-[electric zaps]
-[meows sadly]

Oh no! What happened?

I think we might've
blown a fuse.

[electric zaps]

Not just a fuse.

Power to the whole area is down.

I'm afraid this is one show
that won't go on.

[meows]

She's been out there
for a while.

I think I should go talk to her.

I will.

You go enjoy the last day
of Cheddarfest.

I did sort of want to check out
the string cheese tug-of-w*r.

Off you go!

[meows]

Why can't I fix this?

Who said you have to?

I know how much you love
this place,

and that's just one of
the reasons you're so dear to me

and always will be.

Sure, some things
may change in life,

but not the most important ones.

It's just so frustrating.

I know in my heart that
what this place means to me

is important, to everyone.

The past is what makes us
who we are today.

I just wish I could share it
with more people.

Well, actually, I've been
thinking about that.

What if we had a more
old-fashioned show?

No lasers, no turntables,
no boomy-boxes and whatnot.

Just you, singing.

-Me?
-[meows]

You have a lovely voice,
and Daisy plays the guitar,
doesn't she?

Yeah.

You really think Daisy and
I could pull in an audience?

The audience is coming,
like it or not.

The tickets are sold.
If you put on a show,

at least I wouldn't have
to give all the money back.

-Okay, then.
-[meows]

I guess Daisy and I
are putting on a show.

[applause]

[cheering]

[whistles]

Thank you so much!

[meows]

Whatcha think?

It was simple,
and simply wonderful.

Thank you.

-[phone rings]
-Good morning!

Windy Willows Inn.
Can you hold, please?

Mr. Johnson,
thanks for holding.

We're almost fully booked
that weekend,

but I can let you have
the Roquefort Suite.

Great, we'll see you then.

Oh-ho-ho, I can hardly keep up.

We're officially sold out
for the rest of the month.

-Wow!
-Yes!

That's fantastic!

People really loved that
candlelit concert,

so I'm doing an acoustic show
every weekend from now on.

Sweet! I guess people
really love that simple,
unplugged vibe.

Yeah, but change
can be good too.

That vacuum turned out
to be pretty handy

-once we got
the bugs worked out.
-[claps]

[vacuum whirrs]

-[Blissa screeches]
-[all laugh]

So the moral of the story is:
I have no idea.

Well, I kinda do.

Treasure your past,
thrive in your present,

and dream for your future.

Because it's all part of you.

And it's what we learn from
all three that makes us

the best we can be.

Unless you're a cheese cow.

In which case,
all I can say is,

thanks for the nachos, Bessie.
