And you're just in time.
Come on in!
[soft music]
[sniffing]
What's that smell?
[sniffing]
[gasps] It's you!
Ooh. Tell me did you
just brush your teeth?
Cause you smell
so minty and fresh.
Or do you smell this good
all the time?
Hey, Bear! What're you doing?
Hey, Pip and Pop!
-Bear, are you sniffing again?
-Yah, are ya?
-I think he's sniffing again.
-He is.
[Bear laughs]
Well, yeah,
I was sniffing a little.
That bear, he's a sniffer!
Yes, I am. Um, anyway,
what are you two up to?
-Well, we were...
-...just about to go play tag!
-In the attic!
-At the pond!
[dramatic chord]
-At the pond!
-In the attic!
[dramatic chord]
We... we... disagreed!
Pop, if you think we should
play tag in the attic,
then that's what we should do!
No, Pip, if you think
we should play tag at the pond
then I think that
is the best idea.
-Guys, guys...
-But, but, but, but, wherever
you want to go is fine with me,
Pop. Totally fine.
No, but Pop, wherever you
want to go is all right with me!
-Totally cool! Totally cool!
-Guys, it's okay to disagree.
But I want to do
what you want to do!
-You decide.
-No, no, you decide.
-Ok, I decide that you decide!
-Well, I decide that you decide!
Oh, no!
Bear, Bear! What should we do?
Okay, okay, calm down.
You could always flip a coin.
-A coin?
-A coin!
Great idea, Bear!
Yeah.
Sometimes if you flip a coin
it's a good way to settle
a disagreement.
I like to use
my special Bear coin.
PIP AND POP: Woo!
BEAR: Heads and tails.
PIP AND POP: Oh!
Ok, ready?
-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
Heads, the attic.
Tails, the pond.
-Right, Right!
-And here we go!
What is it? What is it?
BEAR: It's...
heads!
To the attic!
Yay! To the attic!
Phew. Let's go!
Bye, Bear!
Well, definitely the attic
was the best idea, Pip.
-Thank you, Pop.
-No problem, thank you, Pip.
-Why, thank you, Pop.
-No, thank you...
-All thanks goes to you, Pop.
-No, gratitude goes to you.
Bye, Pip! Bye, Pop!
Pip and Pop are
such great friends.
[soft music]
Yeah. Friends.
A friend is someone
you like to be with.
It's that simple.
A friend can be anyone
you know at school...
[kids laughing]
...or on your street...
[car honking]
...or in another country...
...even out of this world!
[mysterious music]
[laughing]
Brothers and sisters
can be great friends too.
And the best thing is,
even if you disagree...
[soft music]
...you're still friends!

TREELO: Rock Boy to the rescue!
Ta da da da!
Hey, that sounds like Treelo.
Let's go see what he's doing.
[soft music]
-Hey, Treelo!
-Hi, Bear!
So, what are you up to today?
Treelo waiting for Ojo.
Oh, you're waiting for Ojo!
Yeah, Ojo and Treelo play
Snow Bear and Rock Boy!
Snow Bear and Rock Boy away!
[laughing]
Ojo and Treelo are
such good friends.
OJO: [singing]
Ojo, Ojo! Hi, Ojo!
They play together all the time.
-Ojo? Ojo!
-[singing]
-Hey, Ojo!
-Hi Bear, hi Treelo.
Well, got to go, see you later!
-Bye, Bear. Bye, Treelo.
-Ojo? Ojo?
Play Snow Bear and Rock Boy!
Ojo?
[sad music]
No play?
What's up with Ojo?
Ojo, no play...
Ojo no play...
-Bye, Bear.
-Well, well...
W-Well, wait, Treelo, um.
Treelo, wait! Maybe I, um...
Come on, let's go see if we
can make Treelo feel better.
Treelo?
Now where has Treelo gone?
SHADOW: [laughing]
Hey? Did you hear that?
SHADOW: [laughing]
That laugh sounds familiar.
Do you know who that is?
SHADOW: [laughing]
Hey, you big old bear!
It's me!
It's Shadow!
Shadow, you surprised me!
SHADOW: [laughing]
I did!
Shadow, you're always
singing and dancing.
What have you been doing today?
Well, Bear, I've been
playing with all my friends—
the sunlight in the attic,
the ripples on the pond
and the clouds
at the top of the trees!
Wow.
Well, Shadow, since you're here,
would you tell
our friends a story?
Why, I'd love to!
It's one of the things
I do best!
Now let me see what I can fancy.
Just watch.

What a great story.
Old Mother Hubbard
sure loved her dog.
Well, I know lots of dogs, Bear,
and they are
an easy sort to love.
They are
great friends of the shadows.
Great friends!
I didn't know that.
Well,
I've got to be goin', Bear.
But when you need another story,
just try and catch me!
BOTH: [laughing]
-Bye!
-Bye, Shadow.
Now, where can Treelo be?
Oh. Maybe in the bedroom.
[soft music]
Treelo.
TUTTER:
Huh? I am not a snow bear!
TUTTER: I am not a snow bear!
Hey, that sounds like Tutter.
Maybe we should go downstairs
and ask him if he's seen Treelo.
Come on.
[country music]
No! No, I tell you!
-Come on!
-It's not gonna happen, Treelo!
-Hey, Treelo!
-Snow Bear! And Rock Boy! Away!
Hey!
Keep that rock away from me!
Tutter. What is going on?
What is going on?
What is going on?
Well, I'll tell you
what's going on, Bear!
Treelo wants to play
Snow Bear and Rock Boy!
TREELO: [laughs]
-Ya, ya, ya.
With me as Snow Bear!
That's what's going on.
No, no, no. Tutter, no.
Tutter Snow Bear!
What? How many times?
How many times
do I have to say it, Treelo?
I am not a snow bear!
I am a mouse!
Tutter, the mouse!
Ugh! Agh!
No, no, Tutter Snow Bear.
Treelo!
I don't even look
like a snow bear!
Pretend?
No, no!
No pretend with me!
See, look? Okay, okay. Look.
See this tail?
You see that?
That's a mouse's tail!
My tail!
-Pretty tail.
-Well, thank you very much.
And look at me, look at me!
I'm blue and pink!
Blue and pink, I tell you!
A snow bear is white.
White!
And look, see these ears?
Blue and pink.
Blue and pink, can't you see?
Tutter is
blue and pink Snow Bear!
Me?!
A blue and pink Snow Bear?
No way!
No way! I am a mouse!
I'm telling you, a mouse!
Treelo, I am not a toy!
Ah, Treelo? Treelo?
I don't think Tutter wants
-to play Snow Bear and Rock Boy.
-Yah.
But Treelo want to play
Snow Bear and Rock Boy
with Tutter
just like Treelo play with Ojo.
Well, this mouse
doesn't want to play, Treelo.
I'm sorry.
Treelo, you can't expect
somebody to play a game
if they don't want to.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
Nobody...
Nobody play with Treelo.
-Ow.
-Nobody.
[door opens]
OJO: [singing]
Ojo?
-Wow!
-Ojo!
-Hey, Ojo?
-Hey, Ojo!
Oh! Hi, yah.
Hi Bear, hi Treelo, hi Tutter!
Ojo? Ojo play Snow Bear
and Rock Boy with Treelo?
Well, you know what?
I would really like to,
but I got to go.
See you later, everybody.
Maybe we can play later.
-No, no, no.
-See ya.
-But Ojo, Ojo play...
-Ojo!
Hm.
Carrots.
No, Pip, you were right.
No, Pop,
I must say you were right, Pop.
-No, no. You were right, Pip.
-No, you!
-No, you.
-No, you.
-No, you.
-No, you.
Pip! Pop!
Hi. What's going on?
Oh. Hi, Bear!
Hi, Tutter! Hi, Treelo!
Hi, guys.
We played tag in the attic,
but now,
at the suggestion
of my good friend, Pip,
we're going to play tag
at the Pond.
Tag? At Otter Pond?
Yeah! Want to come?
What a great idea!
Yeah! Everybody to the pond!
[laughing]
Tutter?
-Want to play tag?
-Huh?
Tag. At the Otter Pond,
want to play?
Yeah, Tutter,
it's gonna to be fun!
Well, well...
[laughs] Okay!
But watch out, Treelo,
this mouse is fast!
Very fast!
[laughing]
-Great.
-Yeah, tag.
Oh. Maybe you would
like to come and play tag
with us at the Otter Pond?
Come on.
I hope you enjoy the carrots,
rabbit.
I got them
from Bear's refrigerator
and Bear keeps
very good carrots around.
[chattering]
Look, everybody!
Shhh! It's Ojo.
Ojo?
Go right ahead,
it's ok to sniff me.
You know? My friend Bear
sniffs all the time.
It's a very friendly thing to do
in the Big Blue House.
Look!
Ojo is talking to that rabbit.
Look Bear, carrots!
You're right, Treelo.
That's why she took the carrots.
Oh.
Hey, that tickles!
You know?
It's nice to make a new friend.
Aw, look!
Ojo made a new friend.
Ojo...
Bye, Rabbit! See you again soon.
Uh... [clears throat]
Well, guys, won't it be fun to
play tag down at the Otter Pond?
Oh, yeah, Bear!
But we're already
at the Otter Pond.
Oh! It will be fun to play!
Why, Ojo!
What a surprise
to see you out here!
Oh! Hi, everybody!
I'm so glad to see you!
There's something
I've got to tell you guys!
You're not gonna believe it!
ALL: Really?
Really?
-Try us.
-Well, well, Bear,
you know that bunny rabbit
that hangs around the pond
all the time
and is scared and she runs away?
Uh... Yeah?
ALL: Yeah, uh-huh.
Well, I gave her some carrots!
And, and, and now,
now she's my friend!
I made a new friend!
Ojo? Ojo?
What about Treelo?
-Oh, Treelo.
-Ojo,
Treelo was worried
when you wouldn't play with him.
Oh, no, Treelo, don't worry.
I told the rabbit all about you.
She wants to meet you!
Meet me? Meet Treelo?
Of course, Treelo,
because you're one of
my bestest friends!
Really? [laughs]
Ojo, Treelo, friends!
Aw! I told the bunny
about everybody!
And, and,
and because you guys are
my bestest, oldest friends.
And rabbit?
Why, she's a new friend!
Ah, isn't it great to
make new friends
and have old friends, too?
ALL: Yeah!
I can't wait until we
can all play together!

-Bear!
-Yes, Pip and Pop?
We thought we came
to the Otter Pond to play tag!
-Yeah! Tag, Bear!
-Yeah!
Well, yes, we did.
Um, Bear?
Yes?
Tag! You're it!
[yelling and laughing]
Of course, I had a feeling
I was going to be it.
[chattering]
We'll I think this is
going to take a while.
So, why don't I meet you
back at the house?
Ready of not, here I come!

Wow, what a day.
But it's getting late

Come on.
[soft music]
Ah, there she is!
Hello, Luna. How are you?
Well, hello, Bear.
I was just saying hello
to all the stars
in the night sky.
And how are my friends
in the Big Blue House?
Great, Luna! We had a great day.
-Really?
-Mm-hm.
But then, I think every day
you spend with your friends
is a great day.
Don't you?
I know what you mean, Bear.
Friendship is one
of the great things
about the world.
True, Luna, true.
With all the hard
and difficult things
we all have to do,
it's nice that there are friends
to make us feel better.
And to play with!
That is so true, Bear.
And I hope you
don't mind me saying
that over all these years
that you and I
have known each other,
you have always been
a wonderful friend to me, too.
Why, thank you, Luna.
But then,
it's easy to be friends
with the moon.
[laughing]
Well, it's time for me to join
my friends, the stars,
and light up the night sky.
Ok, Luna, but before you go,
would you join me
in a Goodbye Song?
I'd love to, Bear.
