Ok, class, today we
have very special guest.
This is ken burns,
and he makes documentaries.
Hi, everybody.
Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
What's a documentary?
Great question.
A documentary is a movie
that tells a true story
And uses real people
instead of actors.
Wanna hear about the one
I'm making now?
Sure.
It's about pets.
Do any of you
have a pet?
I do!
I do!
I have a turtle.
Hee hee hee!
How about you?
What kind of pet
do you have?
A puppy.
His name's clifford.
He's lots of fun.
He's always ready to play,
and he's my best friend.
I can tell.
I love pets, too.
That's why I decided
to do a documentary
about them.
Are you having fun
making your documentary?
I am, but it's also
a lot of hard work.
Which you're
about to find out.
Huh?
Huh?
This month you're
going to take turns
Usin' the school's
video camera to make
your own documentaries.
We are?
Ha ha ha!
That sounds so cool!
I'm glad you
think so, shun.
Why don't you,
emily elizabeth,
and nina go first?
Oh, wow!
Oh, I can't wait.
All right!
Teacher:
the first thing
you need to do
Is to decide
what your documentary
will be about.
Remember, it should
be something that's
really important to you.
Well, we all
really love our pets.
That's a great idea,
emily elizabeth,
But since mr. Burns
is already doing that topic,
Maybe you should
try something else?
But you're on
the right track.
What else do you 3
reallycare about?
Hmm...
We love our neighborhood.
The people are great.
Hey, that's it.
Our documentary could
be about the people
in our neighborhood.
Great idea.
First, we can
talk to mr. Solomon
at his art studio.
Oh! And then miss grouse
at the pet store.
[Gasps]
and wouldn't it be fun
to visit the bakery?
You sound like
a natural producer.
I do? Oh, that's great.
What's a producer?
The producer
is like a team leader.
They plan the documentary
and make sure everybody
knows what to do.
That sounds like nina,
all right.
She loves planning stuff.
How do you like
that camera, shun?
Wow! It's awesome!
Then maybe you should
be the camera person.
Ok.
Camera person.
Pbbblltt!
What should
my job be?
What do you like to do?
Well...
I love to read.
That's perfect.
It is?
You can be
the interviewer.
That means you read
about your subject
And write down
important questions
to ask people.
Ok. That sounds great.
Well, it
looks like you 3
are ready to go.
Ok, clifford,
I've read a lot of books
about people's jobs.
Now I need to practice
asking questions.
So you pretend
to be mr. Solomon.
Ruff ruff!
Ok. "How long
have you been painting?"
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
I see.
And "what is it
about painting
that you like the most?"
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
[Siren]
Ha ha! Great answer.
Nice talking with you,
mr. Solomon.
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
Now, let's see
what it looks like
If I turn the camera
like this.
Cool.
Now let's see if I
Dim the lights.
Oh! Very cool.
[Snaps fingers]
I've gotta remember that.
Ok, this is everything I need
to keep things organized.
[Click]
A stopwatch
to keep us on schedule.
[Clicks off]
An alarm clock to make sure
we don't take too long.
[Ring]
And, in case I have to talk
to any large groups of people,
[Amplified]
a megaphone!
Ruff!
Jorge, that's my schedule.
Ohhrrrr...
Ok, you can sleep there,
But tomorrow morning,
I'm going to need it back.
[Snoring]
What's the name
of the book
you're working on?
"Flo and zo
and who they know."
I think that--
Shun: wait
a second.
What's wrong?
I think the light
could be better.
I did this thing
last night in my room,
And it was
really neat.
[Squeaking]
So, mr. Solomon...
Shun:
hold it!
It's still
not quite right.
[Squeaking]
Ehh...shun...
Don't--don't
you think
this is too...
You're right.
It's still too bright.
Shun...i--i don't think
mr. Solomon can see
the animals.
And we can't see
mr. Solomon.
Shun: ohh!
[Crash]
Ok...that might
be too dark.
Oops.
[Birds chirping]
I'm sorry we didn't
have enough time
To do the interview
with mr. Solomon.
I'll leave the lights
alone this time.
And I'll make sure
we don't fall behind
schedule again.
We'd better get started
right now.
Are you ready
to begin the interview,
miss grouse?
Well, I sure am!
This should be fun.
[Loud beeping]
[Birds screeching]
Sorry. I did that.
[Birds screeching]
[beeping]
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff! Ruff!
Oh, dear!
The birds!
[Beeping]
[Birds screeching]
[Beeping]
Got it.
I'm all set.
[Loud ringing]
Arf arf!
Woof woof!
Ruff ruff!
[Ringing]
[Dogs barking]
Ahem! Ok!
Quiet on the set!
Ribbet ribbet ribbet!
Ribbet!
Ruff ruff!
[Animals all
making racket]
Miss grouse:
hold still!
Hold still!
Oh, they're
everywhere!
Everywhere!
Cut!
Cut! Cut!
[Animals
making racket]
Cut!
Ruff ruff!
Ok, guys. This one
has got to work.
And...action!
So. What
are you making?
A giant hawaiian
wedding cake.
It's my own
special recipe.
Mmm! That sounds
delicious.
It's time for the eggs.
We need 7 eggs.
How many years
Have you had
this bakery?
Was that 3 years
or 3 eggs?
Uh...what?
Uh, years,
I think.
Now I must put in
That's one...
How many layers
will this cake
have?
Of pineapple.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Was that 2 layers
of cake
Or 2 cups
of pineapple?
I don't know.
Huh.
But--but now
it's time to mix it
all up.
Oh, I think maybe
there are a few extra
ingredients in there.
Arf! Arf!
Uh, how many times
Has this happened
before?
[Sighs]
Zero.
What a disaster.
We spent all day
working on our
documentary.
But have nothing
to show for it.
Emily elizabeth:
look at clifford.
He's trying
to get close
to those butterflies.
I can't believe
how quiet
he's being.
And how still.
I know.
He's not
disturbing them
at all.
I wish we'd
acted more like
clifford today
When
we were filming.
Shun: then I wouldn't
have turned the lights
off on mr. Solomon.
I would've left them
just the way they were.
And I wouldn't have taken
all those loud things
into the pet shop.
The noise really upset
all the animals.
How about me?
I asked so many questions,
the cake got ruined.
All wecared about
was what we
were doing.
We didn't even think
about anyone else.
Well...we do
have the camera
for another day.
How about we give it
another try?
Oh...great idea, shun.
Right.
But this time,
We'll be more
like clifford.
And now for
the most important part--
The candles.
Do you think
my customer
Will be happy
with their
birthday cake?
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Thanks,
emily elizabeth,
shun, and nina.
That was a terrific
documentary.
I could tell
justby watching
How much you care
about your neighbors.
Do you think the project
helped you learn more
about them?
It sure did.
And you know,
I think we also learned
A little bit more
about ourselves, too.
Ha ha! Yeah.
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Ruff!
Clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff ruff!
Wanna read a story,
clifford?
Ruff!
Ok. Pick one out.
[Chuckles]
thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Today's story is "speckle
and the made-up rules."
One afternoon, speckle
invited all his friends over.
He had a new board game and
couldn't wait to share it.
But when they opened
the box,
They couldn't find
any rules.
And no one knew
how to play.
Then speckle
had a great idea.
The group could make up
their own rules for the game.
[Cheering]
Ravi spun a 3,
So he had to make
the funniest face
he possibly could.
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
And when speckle landed
on a green square,
His challenge
was to juggle.
[Chuckles]
or at least try to.
It was so much fun, they played
for the rest of the afternoon,
Enjoying the rules
and the game
That they all made up
together.
The end.
I love reading
stories together.
You know, clifford...
For such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader.
Ruff!
[Kids laughing]
Ruff ruff!
Comin' to you,
emily elizabeth!
Oh! Oops!
[Chuckles]
Huhh! Ah!
Great play, evan!
Ha ha! Just call me
allan houston.
Why?
Allan houston?
He's only one
of the greatest
guards ever.
And guess what, guys...
I'm gonna get
to see him play.
Wow!
You got tickets?
Where did you
get those, evan?
From coach davis.
He's old friends
with allan houston.
He gave me these tickets
because I scored
the winning basket
In today's game.
How lucky is that?!
Ruff ruff!
Well, I guess that
makes you lucky, too,
emily elizabeth...
Because you're
goin' with me.
I am?
Sure. You've always
been my biggest fan.
The least I could do
is treat you
to a game.
Hooray!
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
[Sniff sniff]
[Sniff sniff]
Ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha! I think
you'd make
A good basketball
player, too, clifford.
Ruff!
Now, let's see.
What else do I need
for the game?
Maybe a sweater.
[Doorbell chimes]
Oh! That's evan!
Time to go!
So long, clifford!
[Laughter and
indistinct chatter]
Hello there.
Hello.
Wow! Look
at all the fans!
And the building
is so big!
Uh-huh!
It's pretty cool.
Tickets.
Hey, aren't you
a little cutie?
Um...thanks.
Hmm. Gee, everyone
is so friendly around here.
Right this way.
Here you go.
Wow! These are
great seats, evan!
Right behind the bench!
[Crowd cheers]
and here they come!
[Fans cheering
and laughing]
Hey...i don't see
allan houston.
There he is.
[Crowd cheers]
I'm so psyched.
Allan houston
is my hero.
And we're sitting
right behind him.
Boy, this
is perfect.
Ruff ruff!
[Gasps]
Clifford?
Clifford?
You're not supposed
to be here.
[Whimpers]
Now we'll have to
take him home
Before we get
in trouble.
No, evan. Look.
That little girl
Has a puppy
with her, too.
Hey...that's
allan houston's
Daughter remie.
She goes
to all the games
with her mom.
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff!
Aroo!
A-ruh-roo!
Clifford!
Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!
Hoops!
Aroo! Aroo!

I'm remie.
This is hoops.
And my name is evan.
Well, remie, it looks like
you made some new friends.
That's evan.
Oh, you must be
coach davis's player.
He told me
you'd be here
tonight.
Do you want
to sit with us
during the game?
Ok.
That'd be great,
because her mom
isn't here.
She's home
with a bad cold.
Usually she sits
with remie
durin' the games
And keeps her
company.
Oh, don't worry.
We'll keep remie
company.
My friend evan
babysits me
all the time.
He's so much fun.
Right, evan?
Evan!
Huh?
I told allan houston
That we would
keep remie company
during the game.
Are you sure
you don't mind?
M-mind?
Evan?
Uh...oh! Oh, uh...
Sure. No problem.
Thanks.
I appreciate it.
Have a great time.
Ok?
Ok, daddy.
You, too, hoops.

Clap clap? Uh, sure,

[Chuckles]
you're pretty good
at this, remie.
Hee hee.
[Cheering]
What happened?
Allan just
stole the ball
from the other team
And scored a basket.
You missed it.
Oh, well.
That's ok. He'll make
a lot more great plays
tonight.
I'll see the next one.
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
Aroo-ooo!
What is it,
remie?
Puppies!
Uh-oh.
Uh, excuse me.
Pardon me.
Sorry. I don't
want to step
on your toes.
Excuse me.
[Crowd cheers]
What happened?
Allan houston
just hit
a basket
From outside
for 3 points.
He did? Well...
Oh, that's ok.
There's still
plenty of time.
You guys stick
around here. Ok?
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Hi, daddy!
[Buzzer]
You want
a hot dog, remie?
With mustard?
Emily elizabeth,
how about a hot dog?
Sure, evan.
Thanks.
Please.
Comin' right up.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Oh...remie
wants mustard.
[Cheering]
Wow! Allan houston
just made a perfect
alley-oop pass!
What a great play!
Hey, you got some mustard
on your shirt there,
chief.
[Cheering]
[Cheering]
[Cheering]
Thank you.
I don't even know
what's goin' on
in this game.
It's really
exciting.
The game is tied
with only 2 seconds
left.
Really?
I hope allan
gets the ball.
Me, too.
Allan's got the ball.
He's gonna sh**t!
Yay, daddy!
Oh! Ahh! Ohh!
[Cheering]
Unhh! Unhh!
Uhh!
What happened?
Allan just scored
the winning basket!
They won!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Arf arf arf!
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Evan: aw, man!
[Sighs]
I missed it.
Wow.
What a great game.
Thanks for
inviting me, evan.
No problem.
Daddy!
Did you have fun today?
Yes.
Thanks for keepin'
remie company.
It looks like
she had a great time.
I hope you
enjoyed the game.
Uh...sure.
It was great.
Actually...
He missed a lot of it.
He was busy
helping remie.
Oh, that's too bad.
It's ok. I--i guess
I can watch basketball
anytime.
And he can play
basketball, too.
You should
see him.
He's great.
Oh, I'm not
that good.
Oh, yes, he is!
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
All right.
How about a little
one-on-one?
One-on-one?
With you? Now?
Sure. Why not?
Unless you're too tired.
Uh...yes! Absolutely!
Let's do it!
Ok. Come on.
Thanks,
emily elizabeth.
This is one
of the greatest nights
of my life.
Oh! Oops.
Ha ha ha ha!
Oops.
Ha ha ha!
Thank you, too,
clifford. Ha ha!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Nice move, evan!
Yes, daddy!
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
Ruff!
Aroo!
Yeah!
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth: it's
always fun to play
with your friends.
Uhh!
Good kick, jorge.
[All laughing
and chatting]
Throw it
over here,
clifford!
No! Over here!
Uh...uhh!
Emily elizabeth: but
sometimes when you play
It's not so much fun
for someone else.
Shh! The little ones
are asleep, clifford.
Father: I'm afraid
all of this noise
will wake them up.
Emily elizabeth:
when that happens,
It's time to show
some respect.
We're sorry,
mr. Sidarsky.
We forgot it was
their nap time.
Hey, why don't we take
the game outside?
[Shouting
and laughing]
Playin' out here's
a lot more fun.
Having respect
isn't hard at all.
Emily elizabeth: clifford
and his friends know
That being considerate of others
is really easy.
And it can make
a big difference.
That's why clifford's
idea to grow on for today
Is have respect.
