- Rocket ready for takeoff,
sally.

- Let's see
how high it can go, nick.

- Okay. Three, two, one, go.

- Ah!

It nearly reached the top
of the sky that time.

Both: huh?

- Ta-da!

A rocket to the top of the sky.

Can I come along for the ride?

- It's the cat.
- The cat in the hat.

- We'd love to send it
to the top of the sky,

But our rocket is too small.

- It just won't go that high.

- Maybe your rocket just needs

Some extra zippy, zappy,
go, go, go.

My whoa-look-at-it-go launcher.

- Wow! Will that make
our rocket go higher?

- Let's give it a try.

- Here it is.

[Laughs]

- Okay, everyone stand well back
for takeoff.

Three, two, one, blast off!

Boing!

- Whoa.

- Look at it go!

- That's why I call it
my whoa-look-at-it-go launcher.

- Hey, I can't see it anymore.

- That's because it's gone
to the top of the sky.

- I wonder what
it's like up there.

- It must be a really cool place
to be.

- Why don't we go find out?

Your mother will not mind at all
if we do.

- [Laughs]

Mom, can sally and I go
with the cat in the hat

To the top of the sky?

- Go with the cat
to the top of the sky?

Okay, but mind
you don't bump your heads.

- Thanks, mom.

Both: we can go.

We can go!

- I know. I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger.

- Uh-oh, this is going
to be a long trip.

Hope you brought a picnic.

- No need, fish.

We'll be there in a flash.

- I've heard that before.

- Buckle up.

[Horn honks]

- We're nearly as high
as the trees.

- That's pretty high.

- It's pretty busy up here.

- Ooh!

- Hi.
How did I get here?

- Nice of you to hop in,
little fellow.

- You must have fallen in
from a tree.

Are we nearly at the top
of the sky?

- No idea.

We tree hoppers
never go higher than this.

There's nothing to eat.

Got to go. Bye.

Both: bye.
- Bye-bye.

- Well, if this isn't the top
of the sky,

Then we need to go higher.

- Whoo!

- This must be the top

We're way up as high
as the highest mountain.

- Not sure if it's the top
of the sky,

But it's certainly the top
of the world.

- [Shudders]
it's so cold up here.

- And it's kind of hard
to breathe.

- Mm-hmm.
There's not much air.

Not much of anything.

There's nobody around.

- Hm.

- Well, here's a surprise.

- [Gasps]

Why, there is someone there
in that mountain.

Let's go say hello.

- I've never seen anyone else
up this high except us yaks.

- So only yaks live here?

- Yeah.

That's because
the other creatures

Aren't as tough as us yaks.

We're real tough.

- It must be your hairy coat
that keeps you warm.

- And what a particularly nice
hairy coat you're wearing,

If I may say.

- [Honking]

- Hey, look.
There is someone else up here.

- Birds.

- Those geese don't live here,
they're just passing through.

- Maybe they're going
to the top of the sky.

- Why don't we go and find out?

- Bye, mr. Yak.

- See you later.

- Stay warm, guys.

See you soon.

[Geese honking]

- Excuse me.

We're on our way
to the top of the sky.

- Have you been there?

- Never been to the top
of the sky.

This is as high as we go.

- Are you the only birds
up here?

- Yep.

Only us bar-headed geese
fly up this high.

We're the highest flyers
in the sky.

- Wow.

That means
there's nothing else above

Except the top of the sky.

- No more birds, no more yaks,

And no more anything except sky.

Let's go, go, go.

- Brrr.
I'm getting icicles on my bowl.

- And it's even harder
to breathe.

- It's time for
the bubble-snuggle airifier.

[Honking]

- Wow.

Ah, that's better.

Much warmer now.

- [Sighs]
I got by breath back.

- [Gasps]
look out.

- Whoa. We're going
to bump into that cloud!

[All yelping]

- We're in the middle
of the cloud.

- I can't see a thing.

- Hm.

[Clanging]

This doesn't seem to be working.

I still can't see anything.

- Are we lost?

- No, I think
we're still going up.

- Yay!
- We're out!

Now the cloud looks
like a fluffy carpet.

- And there's
even more sky above.

- Maybe this is the top.

- There's nobody up here but us.
- Yikes!

[Airplane whooshing]

- Except that airplane.

- Wow, airplanes
fly really high.

- I told you the top of the sky
is a long way.

- It's taking forever
to get there.

- Can't we go any faster, cat?

- Of course we can.

Pull the space-ma-racer.

[Whirring]

Both: wow!

[Dramatic music]

- This is so cool.

- Get ready for booma-blasters

In ten, nine, eight,
seven, six...

- We're gonna blast off
like real astronauts.

- I can't wait.

- Neither can i.
Five, four, three, two, one.

[Bell dings, fireworks whistle]

- Hey, guys,
you might want to see this.

We're a long way from home.

- Wow!

- We live down there?

- Home sweet home.

Planet earth
is where everyone lives.

Both: cool.

- Cat, I see something ahead.

- It's a space station,

Home of my old friend
astronaut audrey.

There she is.

Oh, let's join her.

Hi, audrey.
- Hi, cat. How you doing?

- I'm doing great and so are
sally, nick, and fish.

- Hi.

- What are you all
doing up here?

- We're looking
for the top of the sky.

- The top of the sky?

- Do you know how high
we should go?

- Why, sally,
the sky has no top.

- No top?

- The sky turns into space,
and space goes on forever.

- You mean forever
and ever and ever and ever?

- Roger that.
Both: cool.

- Forever is a very long way.

- I told you so.

- So we'll never get
to the top of the sky?

- Maybe we should go home
and try again in the morning.

- Just one thing, cat,
before you go.

I need some help.

- Anything, audrey.
Just ask.

- Something is stuck
to my space station,

And I need help getting it out.

- It's our rocket!

- It must have got stuck on
its way to the top of the sky.

- Can you help?
- No problem.

When something you want
is stuck just like glue,

Who better to call
than thing one and thing two?

[Sputters]

[Both giggling]

Both: hello!

- [Speaks gibberish]

Beep!

- [Speaks gibberish]

[Speaking gibberish]

Ready.
- [Giggles]

- Yeah, yeah,
hup, hup, hup, hup.

- [Speaks gibberish]

[Buttons beeping]

[Loud whirring]

- That's better!

Ta-da!

- Ta-da!

- Yeah!

- Way to go!
- Nice work, things.

- We may not have found the top
of the sky,

But we did find our rocket.

- Time to go home.

All aboard the space-ma-racer.

- Thanks for your help, guys.

- Why, you're so welcome.

Bye, audrey.
Both: bye.

- Come back anytime.

- We went up to find
the top of the sky,

A place that we knew
was higher than high--

Higher than trees
and mountains so tall.

But then we found
out there was no top at all.

[Laughter]

- Can the sky really go
on forever, cat?

- With no top?

- Audrey said so,

And she knows a whole lot
about the sky and space.

Hey, what do you say we send our
rocket to the moon this time?

- Great idea.
- To the moon!

- [Laughs]

[Laughter]

[Cord strains]

My whoa-look-at-it-go launcher
is ready to go.

All set?

- Ready for takeoff.

- Five, four, three, two, one.
Blastoff!

[Beeping]

Whoa!

[Both gasp]

- I forgot to let go.

Ah! Oh, my.

[Laughter]

- Hi, kids.

Today I have
a very hard question for you.

Are you ready?

Which of these three animals
does not drink water?

Is it a lion,

Or is it a seagull,

Or is it a frog?

Did you say that the frog
does not drink water?

That's right.

Frogs don't drink water
like you do.

They get their water by soaking
it in through their skin.

Did you get it this time?

Well, next time,
I'll stump you for sure.

Both: time to take a picture
with our snap-o-rama cameras.

- I'll take the picture.

- And I'll guess what it is.

- Okay, sally.
Take a guess.

- A puzzle.

Hm, I see lots of dark fur.

It looks like a gorilla.

Wait. Two gorillas.

- Yes, one gorilla

Is picking through the fur
of the other one.

That's how they clean
each other.

- Great photo, nick.

[Laughter]

[Laughter]

Look at that jiggle, nick.

- It's more like a wiggle,
sally.

- A jiggle and a wiggle.

Both: wiggle, jiggle.

- Do I hear wiggling
and jiggling?

- It's the cat.
- The cat in the hat.

- Oh, I love to wiggle...
[Laughs]

And wriggle and squiggle

And jiggle and giggle.

[Laughter]

- Wiggling's fun,
but jiggling's a lot harder.

- Why is it so hard to do?

- Because we've got hard bones
inside us.

- We do?

- This jelly's got no bones
so it can really jiggle,

But we have lots and lots.

- Why do we need so many bones?

- I do not know,

But I know someone
who does, dr. Giggles.

He knows all about our insides.

- Can we visit him?

- Your mother
will not mind at all if you do.

[Laughter]

- One, two.

[Jazzy music playing]

- Mom, mom, can we go ask
dr. Giggles about bones

With the cat in the hat?

- Go ask about bones
with the cat in the hat?

Sure, honey.

I have no bone
to pick with that.

- Thanks, mom.

Both: we can go.
We can go!

- I know. I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger.

- I love to wiggle my tail.

It's how I get around.

[Laughter]

- Speaking of getting around...

Buckle up.

[Horn honks]

- Welcome to dr. Giggles' house.

- I hope the doctor's in.

[Laughter]

- Sure sounds like it.

[Laughter]

- It looks like dr. Giggles
has a bad case of giggle-itis.

- Good one, cat.

[Laughter]

A giggle a day
keeps the doctor away.

Now, how can I help you?

- We want to be more jiggly.

- But we can't
because we have bones inside us.

- Do we need all our bones?

- Without bones
you'd jiggle better, it's true,

But you'd lose all the wonderful
things bones do for you.

- What things?

- Take a look in this box.

- Wow!

Do we have that many bones
inside us?

- You do.
Hoo, hoo, hoo.

They all fit together inside you
like a big puzzle.

It's called a skeleton.

- Huh? Skeleton?

- One bone is my favorite.

- Which bone is that?

- I know. I know.

The funny bone.

[Laughter]

- That's right.

But can you find it?

- Sure.
How hard can it be?

All these bones
look funny to me.

- Could this be the funny bone?

- That looks kind of big
to be a funny bone.

- I wonder what it's for.

- Hmm, it's straight and long,

So it must fit into a long,
straight part of our body.

- Which parts of us
are straight and long?

- Arms are straight and long.
Maybe it's an arm bone.

- Arms aren't the only things
that are straight and long.

- Legs are too.
Maybe it's a leg bone.

- Let me put it under my hat
and think about it.

- If only we could see
inside our bodies,

Then we'd know for sure.

- You can with my bonafide
skelly-ma-whizzer.

[Laughter]

- Oh,
I love the skelly-ma-whizzer.

[Laughs]

Both: wow.

- To show off your bones,
please step inside.

[Laughter]

- Hi, nick.

- Wow!
I can see sally's bones.

- That's a skeleton.

All of the bones in your body.

- But which bone is this?

Hm.

It's like an arm bone,
only longer.

Hey, it matches.

It's a leg bone.

- Yippee!

- That's right.

Your legs contain three
of the longest bones around.

[Laughter]

- ♪ Those bones, those bones,
those bones, wahoo! ♪

♪ Those big bones
are inside you ♪

♪ The bones in your arms
and your legs are strong ♪

♪ They hold you up
as you walk along ♪

- I'm glad
we have those big bones.

I like being strong.

[Laughter]

- If that big bone
isn't the funny bone,

Then maybe it's one
of these small bones.

- Yeah, there are so many,
one of them has to be it.

- Why are there
so many small bones?

- Our bodies bend at the joints
in between our bones, so,

The more little bones we have,
the bendier we can be.

- Let's see, can you tell
where these bones go?

- I know how to find out.

My turn
in the skelly-ma-whizzer.

Hi, sally.

- Wow, you've got lots
of little bones

In your hands and feet, nick.

That's why they're so bendy.

- Don't forget those small bones
at the back.

The back bone is made
up of many little bones

From your neck bones
right down to your tail bone.

- We have tail bones?

Awesome.

- It's this teeny, tiny one
right here.

It's not like mine,

But it's called
a tail bone all the same.

- I'm glad we have small bones.

- Otherwise we'd be all stiff,
like this.

[Laughter]

- Oh, nick.

Hm, if the funny bone
isn't a small bone,

Then it must be one
of these funny shaped ones.

Are any of these the funny bone?

- They are not funny bones,
but they sure do tickle.

- Tickle?

- To find bones that tickle
there's just one thing to do.

Whistle real loud
for thing one and thing two.

[Whistles]

Both: whee! Hello.

- Get tickling.

- [Speaking gibberish]

- Keep tickling them bones.

- Tickle, tickle, tickle,
tickle, tickle.

- They found them.

- Those bones are called ribs.

- Hey, I can feel mine.

There's a whole row of them
going right around my body.

- Rib bones make a cage
to protect our squishy insides.

- That's right, like a real cage
protects a bird.

♪ Those bones, those bones,
those bones, wahoo ♪

♪ Those funny shaped bones
are inside you ♪

♪ Rib bones keep us safe
from bumps and hits ♪

Oops!
[Parrot squawks]

♪ Protecting our soft
and squishy bits ♪

- I'm glad our insides
are protected by a bone cage.

- Me too.

But if those bones aren't
the funny bone, which one is?

- Maybe if you
put them all together,

There'll be one left over
with nothing to do.

- And that will be
the funny bone.

- There are so many bones,
we'll need help.

Both: ta-da!

- One of you please step inside.

- Okay.

- Now, look at thing one's
skeleton,

And use the bones
from the box to copy it.

- That's a great idea.

How about this one, sally?

- Hm.

- That funny shaped bone
is called the hip bone.

- It fits right here.

- Yay!
Let's get more bones, nick.

And these little finger bones
go right here.

- We did it, sally.

We used every bone
in the bone box.

The head bone's connected
to the back bones.

- And the backbone's connected
to the rib bones.

- Those bones all fit
together inside us.

It's our skeleton.

- And each bone has
its own special job to do,

So we can't be without one.

[Gasps]
but one bone is missing.

- Too bad we never found
the funny bone.

- Oh, but you did.

Both: really?

- I played a little joke on you.

It's the one in the cat's hat.

[Laughs]

- The one in my hat?

Imagine that.

I had it all along.

[Laughter]

- It's called the funny bone

Because of the funny feeling you
get when you bump your elbow.

[Laughs]

- Aha!

- And the funny bone's
what we need to finish

The skeleton puzzle.

- Home time.

Bye-bye now.

- Good-bye, dr. Giggles.

- Thanks for telling us
about bones.

Bye.
- Bye-bye.

- You're all so welcome.

Good-bye.
[Laughs]

- Bones, bones, bones.

Wahoo!

There are lots of bones
inside of you.

Some bones are funny, some
are large, some quite small,

But when put when put together,
bones are why we stand tall.

- I'm glad we have bones,

Even if it means
we can't jiggle.

- Me too.

- And I'm glad some things
have no bones,

Because they wouldn't be so much
wiggly and jiggly yummy fun.

[Gasps, munches]

- Mm-mm-mm.
- Mmm.

- Isn't this a good time?

[Laughter]

- Welcome to hat chat.

- Today we're going
to interview this wolf cub.

- Hi, hi, hi there.
[Howls]

- Why are you howling?

- I know, there's a full moon,

And wolves howl at the moon,
right?

- Oh, no, it's just a myth.

- A myth?

- Yeah, like a story.

Sometimes people think
we howl at the moon,

But it's not really true.

- Then why did you howl?

- Oh, I was just letting my mom
know where I was.

That's how we wolves talk
to each other.

- Whoa!
You're moving around a lot.

- We wolf cubs play a lot.

It helps to teach us things
we'll need to know for

When we get bigger.

- Oh, I get it,

You're pretending
to catch your food now

So you'll know
how to when you grow up.

- You got it.

- And, that's our interview
with the wolf cub.

[All howling]

- Where do you live?
Asked this cat in the hat.

On the top of a hill
or on ground that is flat?

Wherever you are,
there is rock down below.

Below earth. Below water.

Below sand. Below snow.

Long, long ago,
some rocks reached to the sky

And became giant mountains
where eagles fly high.

Then rivers and ice
wear some rocks away

Until valleys were formed
that we still see today.

And when rocks wear away
for millions of years,

An amazing
and very large canyon appears.

Some underground rivers carve
caves deep and wide,

Where bats live in colonies
deep down inside.

So you see how the rocks form
the shape of our land--

Our beautiful world
that this cat thinks is grand.

It looks like a mountain.

There's snow on top of it

But not on the ground
where we are.

- The higher up you go,
the colder it gets.

That mountain is so tall,

It's cold enough to have
snow way on top.

- Great photo, nick.
