[Peter] "The Tale of the Best Bowler."

-[Peter] Yeah!
-[Lily laughs]

[Peter] Yes.

Wow, nice bowling, Peter.

-[laughs]
-[grunts]

Um… Mmm.

Mmm.

Stand aside.
This rabbit's going to show you

how pine cone bowling is done.

Um, maybe facing the pine cones

-would be a good idea.
-Oh, yeah,

-I knew that.
-Remember what we told you.

-One…
-A nice, smooth action.

Smooth as an acorn.

-Two…
-And quick.

Quick as the wind.

Three. Whoa.

-[Peter] Look out.
-[yelps]

[laughs]

It's okay. No harm done.

[grunts]

Ouch. [grunts]

-Uh-oh. Oops.
-[grunts]

-Sorry, Nutkin.
-That's okay.

We squirrels have very hard heads.

Like feathers.

Uh, no, that's not right.

Wool, no, no, no. Right.

Wood. Ah, that's it.

[giggles]

We're teaching Benjamin how to bowl.

-Mmm.
-It's harder than it looks.

Well, yes, that's because you're a rabbit.

Whoa, hey, what's that supposed to mean?

Oh, nothing.
But it's a squirreltifically proven fact

that we're just better bowlers
than you rabbits.

Okay, Nutkin. How about a little game

to find out who's
the best bowler in the woods?

Sure. Great idea.

But it will be me. Just saying.

-Ha. We'll see about that.
-Hmm.

[squirrels chattering]

[Nutkin blows kiss] Thank you.

[blows kiss] Thank you, thank you.

[blows kiss]

Let's do this.

[all cheering]

[Nutkin] Hey, hey. [cheers]

My turn.

-Come on, Peter.
-I can't watch.

[grunts]

-Yes.
-Hmm.

Nice bowling.

Did you see how he flicked his wrist
to make the crab apple spin?

It was like, zoom,

and then, wham,

and the pine cones were like wakao.

-Benjamin?
-Did he do it?

-Yeah.
-Yay!

[both] Peter. Peter.

-Peter. Peter.
-[grunts]

Peter.

Hey. Felix.

[squirrels chattering]

Mmm. Nice tasty mice.

-[squirrels cheering]
-[startled gasps]

Oh, those squabbling squirrels.

I'll teach them for waking me up. [grunts]

[Lily and Benjamin cheering and laughing]

Mmm, not bad,

for a rabbit.

Watch this. [laughs]

[blowing kisses]

[all cheer]

This one's for you.

Handstand bowling.

Now, that's just showing off.

-[owl hooting]
-[screams]

Old Brown.

Ha-ha. Nice try, Lily,

but you can't fool me that easily.

She's right. Incoming owl.

Run.

[Old Brown screaming]

And strike. Wow!

I never knew owls could bowl.

Nutkin, I've told you once,

I've told you a thousand times,

never wake an owl when he's dreaming.

[exclaims] Hopping hazelnuts.

-Time to move, Nutkin.
-[exclaims]

[all] Run.

[Old Brown] Oh, I've had it with you.

[Lily] Faster.

Peter, look. One of your

dark secret tunnels.

[Peter] Let's go.

[Old Brown mumbles]

[grunts]

[groans]

Seriously, if you want to join
our bowling team, there's a space.

Felix is having a bad season.

[chattering]

-[Peter] Nutkin.
-[Old Brown yelps]

[groans] Ow.

Tail feathers.

Slippery scamps.

Whoa, that was close.

-Ah, it's okay, Benjamin.
-[grunts]

We're safe now.

How about we all go home
and have some tea and cakes?

[Peter] But Old Brown knocked…

-And then, maybe we could--
-…your pine cones over.

-That doesn't count.
-Huh?

-Yes, it does.
-Peter?

Let's check the rule book. [grunts]

-Ah.
-[sighs]

Rule 57 A, paragraph three
of the pine cone bowling code

clearly states that if the pine cones
are knocked over by an owl--

Uh, Nutkin, you know you're not really

holding a book, right?

Well, if you're going to nitpick

-on every little thing.
-Whoa.

[laughs]

The point is, the game is not over.

But how are you going to play?

-Look where we are.
-[Benjamin] Mr. Tod's lair.

It's not as if there's anything here
we can use as bowling pins,

like Mr. Tod's pots or pans,
or his log pile over there.

-Hmm.
-Hmm.

-Logs.
-[Nutkin snickers]

-Hey, that could work. Good idea, Lily.
-Peter.

[sighs] I've got to stop giving him ideas.

[Nutkin chatters]

Okay, Nutkin, careful.
Or Mr. Tod might hear.

Careful is my middle name.

-[gasps]
-Oh, sorry.

Kenneth is my middle name.

-[Peter] Ssh.
-I'll say, what was that?

Hmm.

Phew.

Come on, let's go.

[Lily] Don't make too much noise, Peter.

Don't worry.
We're far enough from that old fox.

Time for you to see who

the best bowler
in the woods really is. [grunts]

Ha-ha! Yeah.

[both shush]

You worry too much.

[screams] Splinter, splinter.

[exclaiming]

[grunts]

-[gaps]
-Oh, no.

Oh, who's knocking like that?

Oh, you wretched squirrel.

[laughs nervously]

Would you like to buy a log?

[growls]

Sorry. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry.

[Mr. Tod] Come back here, you little…

[grunts]

[exclaims]

[both exclaim]

Come on.

Those were some nice moves, Nutkin.

It was amazing, wasn't it?

Jumping, swinging, running, bowling.

If you're a squirrel,
you could do pretty much anything.

Rabbits are pretty amazing, too, Nutkin.

-We're fast…
-Ha, not as fast as squirrels.

-Yes, we are.
-No, you're not.

-Yes, we are.
-No, you're not.

[whistling]

Enough, boys.

Who cares?
You've both good at different things.

Now, I say we head home,

-have some tea and cake and--
-Mmm. [gasps]

-[Lily] Hey, where are they going now?
-Oh, no.

Inside Mr. McGregor's garden.

Why are they going in there?

[sighs]

Welcome to the ultimate
bowling competition.

Now, we'll find out who
the best bowler in the woods is

once and for all.

This is bad, very bad.

What if Mr. McGregor hears?
This is dangerous, Peter.

And what are you going to use as a ball?

A squash?

Way ahead of you, Benjamin. [laughs]

All right, that's it.

Common, Benjamin, let's leave these two

to push a squash at some old pots.

[sighs]

[grunts softly] You line them up,
I'll knock them down.

-[Peter] Got it.
-[laughs]

Bowling's not supposed to be dangerous.

Yeah, if those two aren't careful,

-they'll end up in a pie.
-[Mr. Tod growls]

-Whoa. [whimpering]
-[gasps] Benjamin.

Rabbit pie.

What a splendid idea.

[growling]

[grunts]

Oh, well, one rabbit it is then.

[Benjamin] Help.

Nice and smooth.

[Lily grunts]

Hey, that's cheating.

Peter. Help.

Mr. Tod's got Benjamin.

[gasps] Let's go.

[Mr. Tod humming a tune]

Oh, stop wriggling, rabbit.

Rabbits are brave.

He's taking Benjamin to his lair.
I know that for a fact.

We've got to stop him.

If I wasn't so busy with silly bowling,
none of this would have happened.

[sobbing]

I always knew bowling
would lead to no good.

Benjamin is doomed.

There must be something we can do.

A good rabbit never gives up.

And neither does a good squirrel.

But rabbits especially don't give up.

And neither do squirrels.

Yes, but rabbits--

Boys.

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

Hmm.

Come on. I have an idea.

[whimpering]

Now, how would you like to be cooked,
young Benjamin?

-Roasted or fried?
-Oh, uh, let me think.

How about neither?

Help.

[Peter] Okay, Mr. Tod,

let's see if we can bowl you over.

[grunts]

-[gasps]
-All right.

I'll show you how it's done. [exclaims]

[both yelp]

[grunts softly] Not like that, obviously.

[Mr. Tod] ♪ Dinner time ♪

[both gasp]

-Oh, no.
-[gasps]

[Lily] Let me try.

Smooth as an acorn, fast as the wind, and…

[grunts]

Ah, home sweet--

[Mr. Tod and Benjamin exclaim]

-[groans]
-[Peter] Time to go, Benjamin.

See you later, Mr. Tod.

Peter Rabbit…

[Nutkin] And then, Lily steps up,

and bowls a ball of string.

Actually, where did that come from?

Just-in-case-pocket, just in case.

And wham! Mr. Tod fell over.

[yells and laughs]

[squirrels squeal]

Thank you, thank you.

It's a great story. I know. Uh…

[squirrels chattering]

[laughs] Actually, Nutkin,

I think they're cheering for
the woods' best bowler,

-Lily Bobtail.
-[squirrels cheering]

-Oh, thanks, boys.
-[grunts]

[all laughing]

[Nutkin exclaims] Hey, hey. Whoo-hoo.

How about a rematch?

[All] Nutkin.
