There.
That looks just right.
Now I just need my birthday tiara.
Oh! Hi max!
You surprised me!
Do you know why I've got
My special party dress on?
It's my birthday!
Do you know what happens on your birthday?
You have cake,
And you get presents,
And if you're lucky,
Your friends come for a birthday party.
And sometimes
If you're really lucky,
Your friends have a surprise
Birthday party for you.
Surprise!
That's right, max.
A surprise birthday party
Is just like a regular birthday party,
Except your friends don't tell you about it,
And when you least expect it,
They all come out and yell "surprise!"
Surprises are one of the best things
About birthdays.
I just know my friends
Will have a surprise birthday party for me,
But I'll act surprised anyway,
Because that's part of the fun,
Don't you think so, max?
Where did you go?
Max?
(Whirring sound)
What's your traffic spotter helicopter
Doing outside my- (gasps)
My birthday tiara!
(Helicopter whirs)
Surprise!
Max!
Getting you traffic spotter helicopter
To fly away with my birthday tiara
Wasn't the kind of surprise
I was talking about.
Huh?
My birthday tiara!
You had quite a ride,
Didn't you!
(Gasps)
What is that?
Surprise!
(Laughs) max!
You surprised me again!
And it's a very nice birthday mudcake.
Thanks.
(Giggles)
But it's still not exactly
The kind of surprise I had in mind.
I think I should take this mudcake outside
Where it belongs.
I just don't want to get mud
On my birthday dress.
It really is one of your best mudcakes, max.
Thanks.
(Splats)
Whew!
That was close!
I have to go wash my hands
So I'll be ready for my surprise birthday party.
My friends should be coming any minute!
I have to get ready to be surprised!
(Water rushes)
Max: surprise!
Max!
Why have you got my birthday tiara on?
What is he up to?
Max, I need my tiara
For my surprise birthday party!
(Horn honks)
Surprise!
(Laughs) max!
(Horn honks)
This is not the kind of surprise
Bunnies usually get on their birthdays!
Max: surprise!
Where is he going?
Max?
I have to get back to the house
So I can be surprised
By my surprise birthday party.
Surprise!
(Giggling) you are so silly!
Max!
Surprise!
Ruby: (laughs)
I'll get you!
(Sing-song) max! Where are you?
Max: surprise!
Ruby: I'm coming to get you.
(Laughs)
Here I come, ready or not!
Weeeeeee!
Where did you go?
(Car horn honks)
Oh no! Not again!
We need to go that way,
Back to our house,
Not that way!
(Sighs)
(Pants) I'll be too tired
For my surprise birthday party -
If I ever get back home for it!
(Gasps) my birthday tiara!
I've got my birthday tiara, max!
Now I can go home and wait for my friends
To come and surprise me!
(Gasps)
(Giggles)
Surprise!
You are full of surprises today!
But my surprise birthday party
Is the only surprise I really want.
And if I don't get home soon,
I'll miss it!
Max!
You're playing leap frog with my birthday tiara
And froggy!
(Ribbits)
Okay, I'll play with you,
As long as we go back toward our house.
(Laughs)
Froggy: (ribbits)
Max! Froggy!
We have to go this way!
Froggy: (ribbits)
(Sighs)
Good work, max!
You got her here just in time!
Just in time for what?
Girls: surprise ruby!
Happy birthday!
A surprise birthday party?
For me?!
At grandma's?!
(Chuckles)
Yay!
Were you surprised?
Ha! Ha! We got you!
How did you manage to do all this
Without me knowing?
Surprise!
Froggy: (ribbits)
Ruby: "ruby's birthday party"
(Gasps)
All: happy birthday, ruby!
(Giggles) thank you, everyone!
I love surprise birthday parties!
Especially, when they're for you!
Girls: (laugh)
Isn't this fun, max?
You haven't had too many birthdays,
So you don't really know what happens,
Do you?
First you thank all your friends for coming
And you take extra care
To point out how pretty they all look.
Thanks for coming to my birthday party
Louise, and valerie and martha!
You all look so pretty in your party dresses!
Thanks ruby.
I love dressing up!
And look, max.
See all the balloons and decorations?
You always have decorations
At a birthday party.
Louise: and don't forget the party snacks!
Valerie: who could forget the party snacks?
Grandma: happy birthday, ruby!
(Chuckles)
All: (gasp)
Ruby: look!
There's the birthday cake!
Isn't it beautiful, max?
Cake!
Whoa, max!
We don't eat the cake yet!
There are lots and lots of fun things to do
Before we get to the cake!
First of all,
We have to play some party games!
Louise: I love party games!
Valerie: me too!
Hmm... I know!
Let's play musical chairs!
Girls: (excited) oh, I love that! Great idea, ruby! Yeah!
Do you know how to play musical chairs, max?
Louise: it's really fun!
You put out a chair for everyone in the game -
Except one!
Ruby: then you put on some music
And everyone walks around in a circle,
Until the music stops!
Valerie: then everyone tries to sit on a chair,
And the one who doesn't get a chair is out.
Get it, max?
Louise: okay! Let's play!
And one and two...
Louise: round we go!
This is exciting!
Ruby: (squeals of excitement)
I got one!
Me too!
Hurry!
What happened to my chair?
You're out, valerie!
Oh, rats!
(Chuckles)
Don't worry, valerie.
Maybe you'll win the next game.
Cake!
Ruby: not so fast, max.
The game isn't over yet.
We keep playing
Until there's only one chair left.
(Chair scrapes along the floor)
Here we go!
(Plays lively piano tune)
Ruby and martha: huh?
Louise: what happened?
There's only one chair left!
(Giggles) I guess max wins!
Cake!
Hold on, max!
That was kind of a sneaky way
To win musical chairs!
But it's not time for cake yet.
We have more games to play.
Louise: lots more games!
You always play more than one game
At a birthday party!
That's right, max.
Always!
What do you want to play next, ruby?
Let's play stick the tail on the bunny!
Girls: (cheer excitedly)
Do you know how to play
Stick the tail on the bunny, max?
Louise: we put a blindfold on somebunny.
You want to be first, ruby?
Valerie: you're the birthday bunny!
Okay!
(Gasps)
And we give her a bunnytail
With sticky stuff on it.
Martha: and then we spin her around.
Ruby: whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Now she has to try to stick the tail
On the right spot on the bunny.
Good luck, ruby! (Plays piano)
Louise: okay! Go ruby!
Ruby: (giggles)
All right!
Girls: (cheer excitedly)
Am I getting warmer
Or colder?
Okay,
I'm going to stick it right...
Here!
(Cheer) yay!
Huh?
Well, you can't get any closer
To a bunnytail than that!
(Laughing)
Cake!
Max!
It's not time for cake yet!
Louise: we have more games to play!
Valerie: you always play more than two games
At a birthday party!
Martha: that's right, max.
Always!
What should we play next?
Let's play...
Red light green light!
Ruby: I love that game!
Do you know how to play that game, max?
It's loads of fun!
We all line up back here,
And ruby stands at the front.
Valerie: when she has her back turned
And says "green light",
We can move toward her.
But when she says "red light"
We have to stop.
If I see you move -
Even a tiny bit -
You have to go back to the start.
And the one who touches ruby
Without getting caught,
Wins!
Get it, max?
Everybunny ready?
Green light!
Red light!
Hah! I saw you, martha!
And I see you moving too, valerie.
I tried to hold still
But I just couldn't.
Back you go to the start you two.
Louise, you and max are okay.
Okay, here we go again.
Green light!
Red light!
Caught you, louise!
Now you have to go back.
Green light.
Red light!
Huh?
Max!
What are you doing way back there?
You'll never win if you don't even try
To get closer to me.
Green light!
Red- (gasps)
Got you, ruby!
Louise wins!
All: (laugh)
And you know what it's time for now, max?
Cake!
All: (laugh)
Ruby: "ruby's birthday present"
(Sipping)
That was the best
Surprise birthday party ever, louise!
I know!
And now you get to open
All these beautifully wrapped presents!
Both: huh?
Max: present!
(Giggles) max!
These presents are for ruby,
For her birthday.
When it's someone's birthday,
You choose something special
And give it to them
To show how much you like them.
Your friends must like you a lot, ruby!
Which present are you going to open first?
I can't decide.
Oh, they all look so pretty.
Present!
I think I'll open this present first!
Because it's the biggest?
Because of the beautiful ballerina wrapping paper!
It's from grandma!
Open it, ruby!
Oh, the ballerinas look so graceful.
I can't wait to see what's inside!
Okay,
But I have to be careful
Not to tear this pretty ballerina paper;
I want to save it.
Fancy wrapping paper
Makes a present even more special,
Doesn't it, ruby?
It's not a real present
Unless it's nicely wrapped.
There.
(Giggles) good work, ruby.
Ooh! My very own personal ballerina bar!
Thank you, grandma!
You're welcome, ruby! (Chuckles)
Now I can practice my ballet moves
Any time I want!
Oh ruby! You're so lucky!
Can I try?
Sure, louise!
Present!
(Stumbles and thuds)
A ballerina barre is just what I always wanted.
And you can keep the beautiful wrapping paper
To use later.
Nothing says you're special
Like ballerina wrapping paper.
Which present are you going to open next, ruby?
What about this one?
Ruby: I love that paper!
(Gasps) max!
That's special birthday paper.
I want to save it,
Okay?
Thanks max.
Look, louise.
This present is covered in birthday kisses!
I thought you were going to open this one?
It looks really special.
I think I'll save it for later.
Okay! Then open that one!
Ruby: I can re-use this paper on valentine's day!
Louise: great idea, ruby!
Wow!
My very own lipsticks to play with
In our beauty shop!
Cherry. Peach.
Strawberry. Plum.
It's a whole fruit basket!
Let's try the strawberry!
Get your camera!
I'm ready for my close-up.
(Giggling)
(Reel cranks)
Ruby: max!
I told you, max.
This paper is special.
If you want to play fish,
You'll have to catch something else.
(Reel cranks)
Which present are you going to open next, ruby?
The one covered with squiggles?
Mmm...
Not yet.
I want to save that one for later!
Look at all these pretty birdies.
I can put this paper
In my bunny scout birdwatcher's scrapbook.
What is it?
(Bird twitters)
It's a bird caller!
You'll be the only bunny scout
With your very own bird caller!
(Bird caller twitters)
Present!
(Bird caller twitters)
Both: (laugh)
(Truck whirs)
Max!
This paper is special
And I'm saving it for special things,
Okay?
Present!
I think I'll open this one next, louise.
I love the funny squiggles!
That's from me!
That's why I like the paper so much!
You always know what I like, louise!
What is it?
I'm not telling.
You have to unwrap it to see.
From now on whenever I see squiggles,
I'll think of you, louise.
(Gasps)
Ohhh! Pretty!
It's a special keepsake box
To keep your most treasured treasures in!
Thanks, louise! I love it!
(Gasps) I know!
I'll keep my extra-special
Birthday wrapping paper in it.
Wait!
Where did my wrapping paper go?
Both: max!
Here's max's wagon,
But where's max?
(Gasps)
I think you missed a present, ruby.
Ballerinas.
Lipstick kisses.
Birds.
I recognize this wrapping paper.
(Giggles)
Why are you all wrapped up
In birthday paper, max?
Present!
