Ha ha!

Ah!

So, do we have everything we need, Donkey?

Let's find out, Panda!

Beach ball!

Uh, beach bucket and shovel!

Beach bongos!

Beach bongos?

Oh yeah!

I never go to the beach without my bongos.

[giggles]

Got my suntan lotion on

and we're all ready for the beach!

Hey-o!

[giggles]

♪ [fanfare]

Ah! Good morrow, Someplace Else Beach!

Mmm. Oh!

King Friday!

Greetings, Donkey Hodie!

Salutations, Purple Panda!

Hi!

You wanna play beachball catch with us?

Oh! Thank you for the offer, Donkey Hodie...

But I have come to build a sandcastle!

Ooh!

We love sandcastles!

Well, I'm sure you will love the one I am planning to build,

for it is a royal sandcastle!

We love royal sandcastles!

KING FRIDAY: Yes! Yes!

It shall look exactly like my royal castle

in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe!

Oh, that's sounds hee-haweseome!

Yeah! Good luck, King Friday!

Thank you!

Now let's play!

Yeah!

Okay, Panda!

I'm open, bud!

KING FRIDAY: Uh oh!

Oh no, King Friday!

King Friday, what happened?

I'm not quite sure.

I was digging a hole and the next thing I knew,

I was like this.

Uh...

[grunting efforts]

Royal groan!

What's wrong now, King Friday?

Oh! I want to build my royal sandcastle so badly,

but it's not going the way I want

and I feel so very, very frustrated!

I'm sorry you're feeling so frustrated,

King Friday.

Well, it's okay!

For I know a way to make myself feel better.

It is time for the Royal Runaround!

DONKEY: How does doing the Royal Runaround

help you feel better?

When I jog in small circles it helps me

get rid of all those frustrated feelings

I have inside and calm down.

Ahh! There we go!

Now I feel refreshed!

My mind is clear! My body isn't as tense!

And I'm ready to build again!

Hooray for the Royal Runaround!

Good luck, King Friday!

Thank you!

Here comes the beachball, Donkey!

I'm ready this time!

KING FRIDAY: Uh oh!

Oh no, King Friday!

Wouldn't you know, it happened again!

[grunting]

Royal groan!

Sound like you're getting frustrated again.

You're correct!

Oh! Does this mean...

Yes! Yes!

It's time once again for the Royal Runaround!

PANDA: Wow! He's really good at the Royal Runaround!

He sure is!

Ah! There we go!

Now I feel better.

Well, that's it for me. I'll be going now.

What? Going?

What about your Royal Sandcastle?

I don't think I'll be able to build it.

You see, I don't actually know anything

about building sandcastles

and I'm afraid if I keep trying

I'll just keep feeling frustrated!

So, ta-ta...

Oh, wait, wait, wait, King Friday,

we know a bit about building sandcastles.

You do?

Would you help me build one?

Yeah!

I, Donkey Hodie...

And I, Purple Panda...

Will help you build your sandcastle!

Wonderful!

We three will be sandcastle builders.

Oh and not just any sandcastle builders,

we three will be

[clears throat]

Royal Sandcastle Builders!

Huzzah!

♪ We are the Royal Sandcastle Builders, ♪

♪ We build castles out of sand. ♪

♪ I want to build my castle,

♪ And we want to lend a hand. ♪

♪ Get the shovel, get the bucket, ♪

♪ We are feeling thrilled,

♪ 'Cause we are the Royal Sandcastle Builders, ♪

♪ Now it's time to build! ♪

You see, King Friday, a bucket is really helpful

for making sandcastles.

Yeah!

It helps the sand make a shape.

Hmm. How ingenious!

Hmm. Is that the way it's supposed to come out?

No.

But that's okay, I'll just try again.

Fill...

Pat...

Flip... And lift!

Okay! One more time!

Fill... Pat... Flip...

Lift!

Grr!

What's wrong, Donkey?

Now I'm frustrated!

Grr!

Then I think you may need something

to help you feel better.

You mean like the Royal Runaround?

Possibly. It always works for me.

Ok. I'll give it a try.

It's time for the Royal Runaround!

[grunting]

So, how do you feel, Donkey?

All that running made me tired!

And look...

Still frustrated.

Hmm. Well, the Royal Runaround doesn't work for everyone.

Different people have different ways of calming down

when they feel frustrated.

Maybe I just need to find a way that works for me.

Hmm. Like what?

Mmm. Think, Donkey Hodie, think.

Hmm...

Whoa!

I got it!

My beach bongos!

I always feel so great when I play 'em!

I'm gonna try and play away those frustrated feelings

on my beach bongos!

Great idea, Donkey!

How did that feel, Donkey?

Oh, I feel calm!

And relaxed!

I don't feel frustrated anymore!

And look, steady as a rock.

Then the Royal Sandcastle Builders

can keep building!

Huzzah!

♪ We are the Royal Sandcastle Builders, ♪

♪ And things didn't go our way. ♪

♪ We tried to build a castle, ♪

♪ But got frustrated today.

♪ So we found a way to change that feeling, ♪

♪ Yes we are quite skilled.

♪ I ran in circles and I feel much better! ♪

♪ I played the bongos and I feel much better! ♪

♪ Now we're ready to build!

Come on, let's fill up this bucket with sand.

Wait, Donkey,

maybe if we add water to the sand,

it would make it more sticky

so it could stay together.

Hee-hawesome idea!

Hmm... You make a very fine Royal Sandcastle Builder,

Purple Panda.

Ha ha! Thank you, King Friday!

Hey-o!

DONKEY: We'll fill the bucket with sand!

KING FRIDAY: Yes, indeedy!

And I will add some water!

Now let's see how we did.

Oh dear! What happened?

Uh, maybe I didn't add enough water.

Uh, let's try again!

DONKEY: Here's the sand!

And here's some more water!

Now it should work!

Mmm!

I think I'm frustrated now!

Looks like you might need a way

to make yourself feel better.

Mmm.

Would you like to try the Royal Runaround?

Okay.

It's time for the Royal Runaround!

[panting]

It's not working!

I keep slipping in the sand

and it's making me more frustrated.

I guess I can't

be a Royal Sandcastle Builder today.

Of course you can.

You just need to find a different way

to make yourself feel better.

Want to try my beach bongos?

Oh no!

It's not working!

I still feel frustrated!

[grunts]

I guess I'll have to quit.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you

with your sandcastle, King Friday!

Wait, Purple Panda.

You are a Royal Sandcastle Builder

and a Royal Sandcastle Builder never gives up!

But I feel frustrated and nothing is helping.

You just need to find a way to feel better

that works for you.

Hmm...

One that works for me.

Well, I am a mellow sort of fellow,

maybe I need a more mellow way

to feel better when I'm frustrated.

Like what?

Like uh...

The Sand-a-Panda!

What is the Sand-a-Panda?

This is the Sand-a-Panda!

DONKEY: How do you feel, Panda?

Well...

I feel calm...

[laughs]

And happy...

And really, really relaxed.

And I don't feel frustrated at all anymore!

Mmmm. Splendid job, Purple Panda!

Thank you!

Let's build that sandcastle!

DONKEY: Okay, Royal Sandcastle Builders,

let's see how we did.

ALL: Ooooh!

It looks just like your castle, King Friday!

It just needs one more thing!

PANDA: Wow!

We did it, Royal Sandcastle Builders!

We made ourselves feel better

Today is the day!

Oh yeah, today is the day Donkey Hodie!

Bob Dog?

Oh, Bob Dog?

Oh! Hey there, Donkey Hodie.

Bob Dog, today is the day.

Oh! I am so glad today is the day.

And bow wow that's exciting.

I just have one little question.

Ummm...

Today is the day for what?

To finally do the Bobski Bounce!

Are you sure you're ready to do the Bobski Bounce?

Sure am!

Hit it!

♪ The thrill of being in the air ♪

A gust of wind blows through your hair

And you don't feel like you're sitting tall

♪ Until you sit on that Bobski ball ♪

♪ Bounce down low, and bounce up high ♪

♪ You're on the ground then in the sky ♪

♪ And your friends consider you a pro ♪

♪ When you bounce ten times in a row ♪

♪ But when I try, I don't know why, ♪

♪ All I do is fail.

♪ Like the rest, I do my best. ♪

♪ Still I haven't passed this test. ♪

♪ But I believe, that I'll succeed ♪

♪ Yes, today I'll do the job-ski ♪

♪ Today's the day I find a way ♪

♪ To bounce on the Bobski!

♪ I will bounce

♪ Bounce bounce!

♪ Yes I will bounce

♪ Bounce bounce!

♪ Oh I, Donkey Hodie, will bounce On The Bobski! ♪

♪ I, Donkey Hodie, will bounce On The Bobski! ♪

Bow wow am I glad you're ready to try again.

DONKEY: Oh yeah.

And when I bounce on the Bobski ten times in a row

without stopping or falling,

I'll finally be on the Bobski big board.

BOB DOG: Yep!

Everyone who has ever completed the Bobski Bounce challenge

has their faces right there on the ol' Big Board!

Well, I'm gonna be up on the ol' Big Board too!

Positive thinking! That's what I'm talking about!

Oh, I feel good, Bob Dog.

I've been practicing all week long.

And now I'm raring to go!

[squawks]

Bobski Bounce challenge time!

Great to see you again,

Official Bobski Bounce referee!

Nice to see you, too.

Good luck, Donkey Hodie.

I, Donkey Hodie, am finally ready

to complete the Bobski Bounce challenge!

Believe it!

Ready? Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

One... Two... Three...

Uh-oh!

Bobski Bounce no!

[both groan]

Ha! Well, that was surprising.

I definitely thought I'd make it this time.

You okay, bud?

Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay, Donkey?

I sure am! I'm not going to give up!

I'll try again,

and this time I know I'll make it.

You sure will, Donkey Hodie!

I can do this!

Ready? Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

One... Two... Three... Four...

Bobski Bounce no!

[both groan]

What did I do wrong?

Hmm.

Well, um, oh you know, whenever I bounce on the Bobski,

I always yell Bow Wow with each bounce!

That always helps me.

Interesting strategy. It's worth a try!

Oh, but...

'Bow Wow' is uh kinda your thing, Bob Dog.

I'm not sure that will work for me.

Yeah, yeah, good point, Donkey.

Umm, hmmm...

Ah! I got it!

Instead, I'll yell 'Hee-Haw'!

Now that is definitely more you!

Yeah that could make all the difference!

Ok. I'm going to try again.

And this time, I'll yell 'Hee-Haw' and make it!

Yes! You can do it, Donkey!

Time to get serious!

Ready? Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

-Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-haw whoa! -One... Two... Three... Four...

Bobski Bounce...

No!

Argh!

I yelled Hee-haw but that didn't work.

So that's not why I couldn't do it!

Yeah, I really thought yelling 'Hee-haw'

would get you to ten bounces!

What could I be doing wrong?

Think, Donkey Hodie, think.

Hey!

Maybe I used the wrong bouncy ball.

Official Bobski ball!

So that's not it.

Ah, I keep falling over to the side.

Maybe I need to balance my body better?

Hey, yeah.

You know, I always sit right in the middle of the ball

to help balance my body.

Oh, I'll try that!

I'll sit right in the middle of the ball!

I know I can do it!

I know you can too, Donkey!

Ok, time to get super-serious!

Hm!

Ready? Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

One... Two... Three... Four...

-Whoa! -Five...

Bobski Bounce...

No!

Oh, Donkey, you were soooo close!

You did such a good job!

Oh, thanks, Bob Dog.

Sitting in the middle of the ball helped,

but I need to do more to balance better...

Maybe if I bounce faster!

Oooh!

Maybe if I bounce slower it'll help me balance.

Oh!

Maybe if I bounce medium.

[screams]

Oh, Donkey!

I'll help you up.

Oh!

This is impossible, Bob Dog!

It's so disappointing!

Wait, Donkey, where are you going?

I'm going home.

I'm just a bad Bobski bouncer.

This has all been one big bouncy-ball bummer.

No, wait, Donkey. I know you can do this.

Ahh, I keep making mistakes.

I almost get there and then I fall over to the left,

I fall over to the right.

To the front. To the back!

And I don't know what to do.

[sighs] Wait a minute!

I do!

My Super-Fun Trick Bone!

Oh, that does look like a really super fun trick bone,

but what does it have to do with bouncing?

Well, I just got this trick bone,

and I tried doing

the old balance the bone on the nose trick with it!

Oh! You are so good at that.

Well I wasn't at first!

Yeah, I made so many mistakes!

Yeah, the bone would just fall off, to the left,

to the right, to the back, to the front.

It was so frustrating!

What did you do?

Well, I realized, I was still moving my head a lot.

Yeah and there's no way to balance a bone on a nose

when your head moves.

I hear ya.

So, to keep my head from moving I focused

on that tree over there...

To make sure my head stayed still!

Like so!

Yeah and I kept focusing on the tree

and with my head now still...

Uh huh, huh, huh.

I was able to do the old balance the bone on the nose trick!

Hee-Hawesome, Bob Dog!

Yeah! Once I learned from my mistake,

everything was bow-wowee.

Hmmm...

So, fixing that one mistake made all the difference?

Yep!

Your Super-Fun Trick Bone kept falling off

because you weren't as still as you thought, right?

Righty-o.

Hmm.

Maybe that's my mistake!

My head was looking all around when I bounced.

Maybe I need to stay focused on something

to help keep my balance?

Bow wow, that just might be your mistake!

Yeah, there's really only one way to find out!

I'm gonna focus on something too

to help stay really balanced.

Hmmm...

Oh!

I can stay focused on the penguin, Bob Dog!

Focus!

Focus!

Focus on the penguin...

Ready!

Ready?

Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

One... two... three... four...

five... six... seven... eight...

Whoa!

Bobski Bounce...

No!

There you go!

Oh, I was so close, Bob Dog!

Yeah, you came so, so, so, so close.

Yeah!

I can't believe it, making a mistake

is helping me learn what to do!

Yeah, you can do this, Donkey Hodie!

Yeah!

Donkey Hodie, now you can do this.

Focus Donkey Hodie, focus on the penguin!

Focus!

Focus on the penguin!

Ready.

Ready? Set?

Bobski Bounce go!

One... two... three...

four... five... six...

seven... eight... nine...

ten!

Bobski Bounce yes!

I did it!

I bounced the Bobski Bounce challenge!

I did it!

Way to go, Donkey Hodie!

Begin Bobski Bounce celebration!

[cheering]

Bow-wowie!

Hee-haw!

And now, Donkey Hodie, since you completed

the Bobski Bounce challenge

you are now on the Big Board!

The Big Bobski Bounce Board!

DONKEY: Hee-hawesome!

Thanks for helping me when I felt disappointed,

Bob Dog.

Anytime, Donkey Hodie!

I'm so proud of myself.

I made mistakes, but I learned from them!

Yeah and you know what I'm so proud of you too!

I am so proud of you, Donkey Hodie!
