Lulu Is a Rhinoceros (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[wings flapping]

[yawns]

[giggles]

[gasps] Good morning, beautiful world.

I am Lulu,

and I am a rhinoceros. [giggles]

It's finally Community Unity Day.

Oh, I can't wait

to celebrate with everyone later.

I am brave, I am kind,

and I love who I am.

[giggles] Ooh, I am sparkly and clean.

[chuckles]

Oops. That's important.

[panting]

Good morning, beautiful you

Rise and shine

There is so much to do

I like me, and I hope you like you too

Good morning, beautiful you

All around me, the world is waking up

Good morning

Good, good, good morning

Look around, feel the energy and love

[background singers] Good morning

Good, good, good morning

- Hey, Priya.

- Morning, Lulu.

And the beetles help

Their dad out with the chores

- What's up, Jude?

- Hey, Lulu!

And the eagles open up

The grocery store

Snacks for you!

You're the best, Joe.

Take it easy now, Lulu.

[giggles]

Fruits and veggies

Are good for my self-care

And when I have more than I need

Then I can share

Wow, thanks.

My pleasure. Nice catch.

[beatboxing]

However you start your day

You're a shining light in your own way

- When you are you, just as you are

- [background singers vocalizing]

The world is a better place by far

Good morning, beautiful you

Rise and shine

There is so much to do

I like me, and I hope you like you too

Good morning, beautiful you

Some of us like swimming in streams

And pools and puddles

Some of us shower each other

With love and cuddles

I got you, Grandma.

However you start your day

Take care of you in your own way

Now that a new day has begun

You can shine way brighter

Than the sun

Good morning, beautiful you

Rise and shine

There is so much to do

I like me, and I hope you like you too

Good morning, beautiful you

Rise and shine

There is so much to do

I like me, and I hope you like you too

[vocalizing]

I like me, and I hope you like you too

Good morning

- [vocalizing] Good morning

- Good morning, beautiful you

Good morning, Lulu.

Hello, my nocturnal neighbors.

We're just getting ready for bed.

But first, can I interest you

in the morning weather report?

Always.

- [imitating trumpet]

- Good morning. Thanks for tuning in.

Today's forecast is sunny skies,

fluffy clouds,

and the best part,

precipitation this afternoon.

You might see a rainbow.

Oh. [sighs] I wanted to say it.

I was excited.

You know what they say,

if you love yourself and you let it show,

the world will smile at you

with a big rainbow.

Oh, I would love to see a rainbow.

What's your plan for the day, Lulu?

I'm going to the park to play.

Then later I'm volunteering

at Community Unity Day.

Cool. What's that?

Community Unity Day,

the holiday about kindness.

It's my favorite tradition,

founded by the one and only,

Regina the Rhinoceros.

Regina is one of my heroes.

Well, they do a big celebration

in the park every year, rain or shine.

Yes, that's where I'm going. [giggles]

Have fun today, Lulu.

Sweet dreams.

[traffic light beeps]

[grunting] Hmm.

Oh. [chuckles]

Hey. Excuse me.

Could you please take a picture of me?

Oh, it would be my pleasure,

and my first act of kindness for the day.

It's for my blog.

Cool.

Leonard the Leopard in the Big City.

Ooh. I'd love to read that and get

a leopard's perspective.

Looking good.

Make sure you get

the light bouncing off my whiskers.

- Yes. Here you go.

- [shutter clicks]

Thank you. Wow.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, I am gorgeous. Thank you.

You're welcome. Good luck with your blog.

See you later.

No, no. Jose, it's that way.

- [Jose] No, I think it's this way.

- Hmm. [gasps]

Hi. Do you need help?

Oh, that is so sweet.

Yes, please.

We are just all turned around. [chuckles]

Which way is Broadway from here?

The fastest way

is a left turn at the fountain,

then a right at the windmill,

and then you'd ha--

Ah. See, dogs have such a good

sense of direction.

Actually, I'm not a dog. I'm a rhinoceros.

Wait, you're a rhinoceros?

Oh. [scoffs] Of course not. She's a dog.

Look at her. She's a bulldog.

You're a dog, sweetheart.

Clearly. [chuckles]

I may look like a dog to you,

but I am a rhinoceros.

But rhinos love mud.

You don't have any mud on you.

Are you saying you'd see me as a rhino

if I were covered in mud?

It would make more sense. Yes.

Right. She's just too clean to be a rhino.

But being a rhino isn't about how I look.

Oh. [stammers] Come on, honey.

[Kangaroo]

Let's ask someone who's not so confused.

Yes, maybe they'll know.

Which way is Broadway from here?

[Lulu] I really am a rhinoceros.

[groans] I'm a rhinoceros whether

I'm muddy or clean or anything else.

[breathes deeply]

[birds twittering]

Whoa.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. No, this is--

I mean, whoa, you know?

Like, do you ever just see something,

and your brain's just like

[chuckles] "That's new."

What is this?

Do you know?

It's my favorite statue in the world,

Regina the Rhino.

[crows] Wow.

Honestly, I don't know who that is.

Who is Regina the Rhino?

She was an iconic rhinoceros.

I've heard amazing stories about her.

- [crow] Hmm.

- I never got to meet Regina,

but Regina the Rhino was a pioneer.

She was the first to suggest that

kindness could transform a community.

She created my favorite holiday, Communi--

- [horn honks]

- [tour guide] So they're expensive

Whoa! Harsh vibe.

but I can't stop eating

those croissant sandwiches.

- [tour group chuckles]

- Okay, folks, up here on your right

is the statue of the famous

Regina the Rhinoceros.

- [gasps]

- Oh.

How do you feel

when you look at this work of art?

Fun fact about Regina,

by encouraging everybody around her

to do one simple act of kindness

every day,

she inspired a movement,

and made the city a happier place to live.

And that's how

Community Unity Day started.

- Oh, wow.

- [grunts]

Regina sounds

like a remarkable rhinoceros.

She was.

She's one of the reasons

I'm proud to be a rhino.

[gasps] Wait, Bob,

did she say she's a rhinoceros?

I sure did.

Yeah, you can't be a rhino.

Of course I can. I know who I am.

Well,

can you squeak and honk like a rhinoceros?

I like to sing instead.

I'm sorry. If you were a rhino,

I think you'd look more like that statue.

- [sightseer] Uh-huh.

- Well, rhinos look all different ways.

No. Honey, all rhinos look like that one.

They've got pointy ears

on the top of their heads.

Not floppy ears on the sides.

Oh. I'm 50-50, honestly,

'cause [stammers] rhinos are

supposed to have a great sense of hearing.

She does seem to be hearing

everything we're saying.

That's right. I hear ya.

I guess she is a rhino.

But she doesn't have pointy ears,

so I just don't see it.

[groans] I heard that too.

[chuckles] That's great.

Moving on, folks.

Up ahead on your left is my favorite tree,

the green one. I don't know why

Why won't anyone listen to me?

[sighs] Suddenly, I don't feel

like going to Community Unity Day.

Lulu, hey.

- Hi, Cory.

- How's my favorite rhino today?

[sighs] That depends.

Am I your favorite rhino?

Mm-hmm. And you're the only rhino I know.

Oh. Well, I'm having a bad day.

I was trying to go to the park,

but I think I'll just go home.

Wait. Don't have a bad day.

I'm already having one.

Well, you know what I do

when I'm having a bad day?

[vocalizing] I start the day again

- Whenever I feel down and out

- [backup singers] Start the day again

- Sad and angry, full of doubt

- [backup singers] Start the day again

- Even when I feel like crying

- [backup singers] Crying

- I try to be brave, and I keep trying

- [backup singers] Trying

I did try, Cory,

- but no one is listening to me today.

- [vocalizing]

I said, no one is listening to me today.

- [backup singers] Hey! Hey!

- I can always start the day again

I can always start the day again

- Whenever I feel tired and mad

- [backup singers] Start the day again

- I hold my head up and try to be glad

- [backup singers] Start the day again

It's all right

If I don't feel fine for a while

Then I take a deep breath and smile

- [backup singers] Hey!

- I can always start the day again

- [Lulu] How?

- I can always start the day again

[backup singers scatting]

Even if the day is almost done

Just act like a new day has begun

- [backup singers] Hey!

- I can always start the day again

Yes.

- [backup singers] Hey!

- Even if it's almost time for bed

- [backup singers] Hey!

- You can always start the day again

Even if the day is almost done

Just act like a new day has begun

- [backup singers] Hey!

- I can always start the day again

- [backup singers] Hey!

- I can always start the day again

[scatting]

[Cory vocalizes]

[Lulu cheers]

Start the day again

- [vocalizes]

- [backup singers] Start the day again

- [chuckles]

- [chuckles] Yeah.

[gasps] Look, Lulu.

You made it to the park.

I did. Amazing.

So, what's it gonna be?

I'm doing it.

My day starts again now.

Ugh.

Actually [grunts] it starts now.

[laughs] Make it a good one!

You too, Cory! Bye!

Here we go.

[birds twittering]

Hey, Lulu!

- Hi.

- Happy Community Unity Day.

- You too, Sal. Are you performing later?

- [grunting]

Of course. I'm just rehearsing

my routine a few more times.

Ah. [chuckles]

- Are you headed to the volleyball game?

- Volleyball game? Right now? Where is it?

Just down that way.

Wow. I think I have time for a quick game.

Yeah.

I'll see you later, Lulu. Have fun.

[grunting, sighs]

[Pig chuckles]

[Cat] Whoo! [chuckles]

[sighs] I can do this.

Today is the day they will let me play.

- [Cat, Pig grunting]

- [sighs]

[groans] They'll say I'm too slow.

No. No. I'm fast and strong.

[stammers]

I've been practicing. I got this.

Finn on three. One, a-two--

[humming]

- [gasps]

- One, two, three.

Oh, no. What if they only need one player?

[groans] Go. Finn, go!

[grunts] Hey, looks like you need

a fourth player. How about me?

We've told you before.

You're too little to play with us.

But I've been practicing.

I'm getting better every day.

[scoffs] We have enough players already.

We don't need anyone else.

Um, maybe later, man. Right? Yeah?

Oh. [chuckles] Later then.

Um

Okay. When you need another player,

I'll be right over there.

Okay.

- That was awkward.

- [chuckling]

- [Cat grunting]

- [Pig] One, two, three--

Hey, I'm Lulu. Can I play with you?

Huh. You seem strong.

I sure am.

Yes. Join our game.

[gasps] Why does she get to play?

- Got it.

- [grunts]

- [grunts]

- [Pig grunts]

- [Goose] Yes!

- [Finn groans]

- [Cat grunts]

- [Lulu chuckles]

- Here!

- [panting, grunts]

- [grunts] Come on, Pig. Get in the game.

- [Lulu] Whoo!

Wow, you're so speedy.

Yeah, rhinos can be really fast.

What? A rhino? Where?

Hmm. I've never seen a rhino.

I'm a huge rhino guy.

Where's the-- Where's the rhino?

Well, I'm the rhino.

[chuckles] Really?

I thought rhinos had pointy ears.

You know, to give them extra good hearing.

I thought that rhinos

communicate in squeaks and honks.

Well, I do like to--

Wait, my uncle said

that rhinos play in the mud.

He didn't say anything about volleyball.

My grandma said that all rhinos

make great jelly sandwiches.

[sniffs] Do you have any jelly sandwiches?

No, but I do--

And I thought rhinos

are supposed to have horns.

One here and one here. Right?

Well, I don't have pointy ears

or a jelly sandwich--

Exactly. You don't look

the way we think a rhino looks.

And you don't act

the way we think a rhino acts.

But rhinos are all unique

in their experiences,

like everyone else.

How could I possibly prove

that I'm a rhinoceros?

We're telling you right now.

If you wanted us to see you as a rhino,

you'd need pointy ears.

- [Pig] Or you need to play in the mud.

- [Cat] Or have a double horn,

- and honk and squeak more.

- [Goose] Exactly.

If you even had one of those things,

we'd probably believe you're a rhino.

Or if you make us a great jelly sandwich.

Okay. Uh, I have to go now.

Good luck.

Let us know

if you find any of those things.

I'd really love to meet

a rhino someday. [chuckles]

Silly goose, I told you I'm a rhino.

Isn't that enough?

[Pig chuckles] Okay, let's go, you guys.

- [Cat grunting]

- [Goose chuckles] Aw.

- [Pig] Okay.

- [Cat chuckles]

- [Pig] Where we at? 2-3?

- [Lulu sighs]

Do you know what it's like

When you share who you are

Then hear a stranger tell you

That it's wrong?

I never liked that part

The only thing I want

Is to be listened to

Why would strangers think

They know me better than I know I do?

Yes, I know who I am

And yes, I love myself

But it feels like I only count

If I make sense to someone else

- [Pig] All right. Let's do it.

- [Goose chuckles] Got it. Here!

- [Cat grunts] All right!

- [Goose] Whoo!

- [Pig] Got a hoof. Got a hoof!

- [Cat, Goose chuckling]

[sighs] A mud puddle.

If everyone thinks playing in the mud

makes you a rhinoceros,

maybe I should play in the mud.

I still have time

before Community Unity Day.

Ugh.

Not you again.

Hi. May I move this cone?

I'm trying to get to the mud puddle.

What for?

Well, I'm on a mission of sorts,

to prove I'm a rhino

by doing what rhinos do.

All right, kid.

Just put it back when you're done.

Thank you. Can't be too difficult.

[grunting] It's difficult. [yelps]

- [Lulu grunting]

- [gasps]

[Finn grunting]

Hmm. You can't get picked first

for volleyball if you're stuck in a cone.

Hello? Who said that?

Can you help me please?

- [yelps]

- No, I don't think I can. I'm too little.

- [grunts]

- [Lulu groans, whimpers]

- [chuckles] Not so strong now, are ya?

- [Lulu grunting]

[gasps] Hey!

[grunting, yelping]

Mmm.

A dancing cone? [chuckles]

Perhaps a bit of music for the moment.

Give me a beat!

[beatboxing]

- [yelps]

- [beatboxing continues]

- [yelping]

- Oh!

Is someone in there?

[whimpers]

Whoa. Hey, be careful.

[pants] Hello?

Um [chuckles] what are you doing?

Just, uh, trying to get out of this.

[yelps] I'm stuck.

Oh. Need help?

Yes, please.

You got it. You pull that way and--

[both grunting]

I'm trying!

- Oh!

- [groans]

Huh. Hey, thanks.

[sighs] I won't be trying that again.

Why'd you put a traffic cone

over your head?

It was just a bump in the road

on my mission.

What kind of mission?

A mission to do something important.

Thanks for your help.

What kind of something important?

I'm trying to prove I'm a rhino.

How do you do that?

Apparently, I need pointy ears,

or mud, or a rhino horn.

- Plus, I have to make squeaky

- Hmm. Mm-hmm.

rhino sounds and maybe jelly sandwiches.

That's a lot. Sounds like you need

an enthusiastic collaborator.

A cool, creative confidant of sorts.

Oh, wait. That's me! [chuckles]

Well, it might be nice to work

on this with somebody.

I'm somebody. Where do we begin?

Let's make this fun!

No. [sighs] It's serious.

Oh, no, no. D-D-Don't worry.

I can be serious.

I'm a very serious business bunny.

[wind howls]

[chuckles]

[chuckles] I'm Hip-Hop the Bunny.

I'm Lulu the Rhinoceros.

Nice to meet you, Lulu.

Happy Community Unity Day.

You know about Community Unity Day?

Of course, but I celebrate it every day.

I-I like doing an act of kindness

every day too.

- Did someone say new best friends?

- [chuckles]

Let's start this way.

[beatboxing, singsongy]

New friends on a mission,

two friends on a mission!

A Hip-Hop and Lulu-- [scatting]

Oh! [gasps] Maybe--

Lulu! Look what I found. A jelly sandwich.

- Possible rhino proof located.

- [exclaims]

Could this help you prove

that you're a rhino?

[sniffing] Mmm.

Smells so good,

but this doesn't feel quite right.

Hey, stop, stop, stop right there!

[grunting, panting]

What are you two doing with my lunch?

Oh, I'm sorry.

We didn't know it was your lunch.

Well, it is. I even made it myself.

I am the best jelly-sandwich maker I know.

I don't think this is gonna

help me prove I'm a rhinoceros.

Enjoy your lunch.

Oh, I will. [chuckles]

[sighs] How can I possibly

prove that I'm a rhino

when there are so many ways

a rhino can be?

We'll figure this out together.

Are you sure?

We can try.

Hmm. [gasps] I have an idea.

A little help goes a long way, Lulu.

Whoa. What is this hidden paradise?

Behold, my productivity corner.

It's the perfect place

to start our mission.

Step one, get the word out.

Looking for rhino proof.

Lulu's proof of "rhino-ness."

Uh-- [stammers, chuckles]

What else should we add?

Drawings of rhino-proof possibilities?

- You got it.

- [sighs]

I think I see something.

When everyone can look at me

And see I'm a rhino immediately

I'll be happy times infinity

'Cause they'll know what I know

Definitely

But if I need to prove

That I'm a rhino

Here's what I can do

So we need to prove

you are who you already are?

I could splash in mud

Or honk and squeak

To make everybody stop questioning me

Rhino proof, that's what I need

To make everybody stop messing with me

They won't think twice

They'll be so nice

Just wait and see

Yeah!

Rhino proof, that's what I need

To make everybody stop pestering me

[Hip-Hop beatboxing]

When somebody looks at me

Like I should

Fit their expectations visually

They get so busy judging me

They never get to know me

I know what I need

I can feel it getting closer

- Might be down the street

- [beatboxes]

Maybe rhino proof will finally

Make everybody stop questioning me

And if pointy ears are what I need

To make everybody stop messing with me

They won't think twice

They'll be so nice

Just wait and see

Yeah

Rhino proof, that's what I need

To make everybody stop pestering me

This is not what I anticipated

But I'm tired of feeling invalidated

And maybe it'll be less complicated

If we find the proof to show I'm me

Let's go.

Hi. Um, excuse me.

Um, may I please have an ice-cream cone?

- Hello?

- [Hip-Hop] Hey, Lulu.

- What is it, Hip-Hop?

- [gasps]

I found some rhino proof. Come see.

Are these good rhino horns?

Those could work.

Two horns, please.

[chuckling]

But I wanted ice cream.

They're called cones.

[grunts] Maybe for you, but for us,

they're rhino horns.

[exclaims] Brain freeze.

- [shivers, groans]

- [gasps]

[exclaiming]

[grunts, exclaims]

[grunts] Okay, these won't work.

[sighs]

Pleasure doing business with ya.

[sighs]

[groans] That wasn't fair.

[Hip-Hop, singsongy]

A Hip-Hop and Lulu. [scatting]

[grunts]

[Hip-Hop] Don't get discouraged, Lulu.

I do feel discouraged, Hip-Hop.

Today has been much harder

than I expected.

But at least I made a new friend.

I am happy about that.

[both, singsongy] New friends

on a mission. Two friends on a mission.

A Hip-Hop and Lulu. [scatting]

- A Hip-Hop and Lulu! [scatting, chuckles]

- [beatboxing]

- Hey, hey.

- [Finn gasps]

Hey, Lulu.

I have something that might help you.

[gasps]

Are you kidding me? [grunts]

Does she get everything she wants?

[grunts]

Voil.

Is that a rhino horn?

[Lulu] Wow.

Oui. Oui. A French horn.

It makes rhino

squeaking sounds in every key.

Wanna try?

Huh. Solid.

- Huh. That's weird.

- What's weird?

I don't see my true

rhino self in my reflection,

and usually,

I see my true self no matter what.

Try making some squeaky rhino sounds.

That might help.

What are rhino sounds?

Rhinos make squeaks and honks

to communicate sometimes. It's fun.

Yeah. You got this.

[inhales deeply]

[off-key honking]

Voil. C'est magnifique. [chuckles]

- Um. [chuckles]

- Was that fun?

Not quite. Thanks anyway.

Anytime.

[peaceful melody plays]

We found horns,

and mud, and a jelly sandwich,

and honks and squeaks,

and [sighs] it's all been wrong.

How can I prove I'm a rhinoceros

if nothing on this list seems to fit?

Well, we can still find some pointy ears.

Maybe that will do the trick.

Don't give up.

Okay. [sighs] You're right.

Rhino ears. Rhino ears.

[Hip-Hop] Let's try this way, Lulu.

[gasping] What? Again?

- [gasps] Look at this.

- Huh?

What's this magnificent mystery?

These look promising.

Plus, yellow is my favorite color.

Ooh. Yellow is my favorite color too.

Here we go.

[imitating trumpet]

- Beautiful. Yay!

- [chuckles]

[groans]

We found some pointy ears

so you can finally hear like a rhino.

- They're totally "rhino-tastic."

- [chuckles]

Thanks. It's not exactly what I pictured

[grunts] but it stays on

when I do gymnastics.

Do I look more like a rhino now?

Yes, you're shining.

- [Lulu chuckles]

- [Hip-Hop cheers]

[chuckles]

- Not anymore.

- [gasps] Oh, no.

Hey! I need that!

[grunts]

And oh, I'm gonna savor it

See, I'm not the type of pigeon

That gets to be anyone's favorite

But it's all so easy for you

It's not fair

You seem so happy [grunts]

So I'm keeping your rhinoceros ears

Unless somehow you can catch me

Come on, Lulu!

[groans]

This chase is on, everyone

What's it gonna be?

Why is everyone around me

So much happier than me?

On gloomy days like this

It's what I have to do

It's so hard to be me

But it seems so easy to be you

I was happy waking up today

The way I usually am

I go to the park

A great day for a great day

But then everyone kept challenging

My undeniable "rhinoser-ocity"

Instead of turning

All their judgments into curiosity

Since the moment I woke up today

Everything has been so stressful

Like the world doesn't care either way

If I'm happy or successful

And my dad always says

To be strong and tough

But I try, try, try

And somehow I'm never ever enough

[vocalizes]

This chase is on, everyone

What's it gonna be?

Why is everyone around me

So much happier than me?

- I don't see him.

- A banana peel flying through the sky.

I didn't know bananas could fly.

Over there.

On gloomy days like this

This is what I have to do

It's so hard to be me

But it seems so easy to be you

I've never been the type of pigeon

To have a ton of friends, okay?

I fly solo, take care of me

That's how it's always been, okay?

I've looked for friends

In strangers' faces

But there's no one I can trust

I try to find my space in places

But they leave me in the dust

Not this time

- The chase is on, everyone

- And they're not listening to me

Why is everyone around me

So much happier than me?

On gloomy days like this

[Lulu, Finn] This is what I have to do

It's so hard to be me

- But it seems so easy to be you

- [Hip-Hop grunts]

- [grunts, strains]

- Oh, no. Are you okay, Hip-Hop?

[groans, grunts]

[chuckles] Just a little mud.

[groans] These light showers

will wash the mud right off.

[exclaims]

Oh, let's duck under here. Come on.

But we'll lose him.

- Don't worry about that.

- [sighs, exclaims]

[shivers, groans]

Are you okay?

[sniffles] I'm just a little chilly.

Hmm. Oh, I have just the thing. Here.

There you go. All better.

[coos]

Why is everyone around me

So much happier than me?

[inhales deeply, sighs]

[groans]

[sighs] Here's a good spot.

Hey,

a-are you going to Community Unity Day?

We're on our way there now

if you wanna join us.

Huh? Me?

Of course. Everybody's included.

That's what makes it so fun.

Yes.

Ah, great. Let's go.

Um, I think there's

just something I gotta do first.

I'll catch up.

Cool. We'll be over by the stage.

[sighs]

Hey, look, the rain is stopping.

We were so close

to getting your rhino ears.

- It's okay.

- You could catch up with him.

I'll stay behind. I don't mind.

- [winces]

- No way, Hip-Hop.

One of the most important things about

being a rhinoceros is helping others.

I'm not gonna leave you

when you need help.

[coos]

New mission. Celebrate Community

Unity Day with my new friend.

Hmm. New friends on a mission. [echoes]

Whoa. That was cool.

[echoing, singsongy]

Two friends on a mission.

[echoing, singsongy] A Hip-Hop and Lulu.

[scatting, echoing]

[scatting, chuckling]

[Lulu, singsongy]

Two friends on a mission.

[Lulu, Hip-Hop, singsongy]

A Hip-Hop and Lulu.

[scatting]

[park visitor scatting]

- Hello?

- [park visitor] Hello.

[both gasp]

Hello.

Oh, hi.

I've never seen you before.

I'm Flom Flom the Tickbird.

I'm Lulu the Rhinoceros.

- This is Hip-Hop the Bunny.

- Nice to meet you.

Oh, no, my favorite hat.

- Here you go.

- [sighs, grunts]

[gasps]

Mmm.

[chuckling]

Wow.

Lulu, you remind me so much of someone.

Hmm. [gasps] My old friend Regina.

Regina the Rhinoceros? You knew Regina?

What was she like?

Oh, Regina was special.

[guitar plays]

[Flom Flom] Regina had a way

of bringing everyone together.

Making you feel important.

She was determined and kind,

and she had a big smile, just like you.

Well, I am a rhinoceros.

- Yeah, she is.

- And I'm a tickbird.

Nice to meet you, buddy.

Tell us about yourself.

Oh, I love tap dancing [chuckles]

eating empanadas--

Can't enjoy both of those

at the same time, though. [chuckles]

And my most favorite pastime

is helping rhinos stay safe,

alert and clean.

[chuckling]

[gasps, groans]

- A tick. [grunting]

- I can help you if you want.

[gasps] Yes, please.

[chuckling]

- [sighs]

- Whoa.

That feels way better.

[chuckles] Tickbirds love helping rhinos.

- Whoa.

- [grunts]

And bunnies love helping tickbirds.

Ooh, sounds like

we'll make a pretty good team.

[gasps] Look. Look.

Hi, everybody.

- Hello.

- Your rhino ears.

I'm sorry I took these,

and I'm sorry for pushing the cone

onto your head earlier.

Oh, that was you?

Yes, it was.

Well, why?

I was having a bad day,

and it seemed like you were having

such a good day.

I didn't get to play volleyball,

and I saw them choose you instead.

Volleyball? No, they were not nice to me,

and I barely got to play.

Oh.

Well, I was feeling bad,

and I thought if I could take

something you wanted

and make you feel bad,

I'd feel better somehow.

But that didn't work. I still feel bad.

I'm sorry.

Everybody feels bad once in a while.

It's one of those things that all of us,

every single one of us, has in common.

But it's what we do

when we feel bad that truly matters.

[breathes deeply]

Here you go.

Thanks, but I don't need this anymore.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Like Flom Flom just reminded me,

it's what we do that really matters.

Being a rhinoceros

isn't about pointy ears.

And it's not about mud,

or jelly sandwiches,

or what anybody else thinks.

For me,

being a rhinoceros is about being kind.

I am kind, and I love who I am.

Like Regina.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

[sighs] I forgive you.

[sighs] Thank you.

I'll see you around.

I hope your day gets better.

I hope yours does too.

Ah, what an absolutely magical moment.

It is.

[gasps]

[chuckles]

Did you know,

if you love yourself and let it show

[both] the world will smile at you

with a big rainbow?

That's right.

- [festivalgoers cheering]

- [both gasp]

[cheering, whistling]

[cheers] Do you know what that means?

Hip, hop, hooray!

[both] Time for Community Unity Day!

- [Lulu] Whoo-hoo! [chuckles]

- [Hip-Hop chuckling]

[panting] I hope we're not

late for the party.

[panting]

Let's try a shortcut.

Huh?

- This way.

- [gasps] Come on.

Here. Put these on.

There's a rhinoceros that I love

The rhino of my dreams

Who is courageous, kind and thoughtful

Resilient and unique

And the rhino I mean has proven to be

Oh, so much more than you can see

The rhino of my dreams is me

[chuckles] Yeah.

There's a rhinoceros that I know

Who doesn't mind what others think

She really loves the way she is

So she doesn't have to change a thing

Didn't notice somehow

But it's obvious now

That no matter what anyone says

The rhino of my dreams is me

Yeah

[vocalizing]

The perfect me is me

The perfect you is you

And when we listen to each other

The whole world is more in tune

Yeah!

Who I am is up to me

Nothing I have to prove

I'm easy to love

I'm good enough

The perfect you is you

Yeah!

[chuckles]

There's an impressive bunny I know

Who's never praised on his merits

He's smart and mighty

Not cute and little

- And allergic to carrots

- Really?

And the bunny I mean

Is tougher than he seems

And today, I realized something sweet

- What's that?

- The bunny of my dreams is me

Yeah

[Lulu vocalizing]

The perfect me is me

The perfect you is you

And when we listen to each other

The whole world is more in tune

Yeah!

Who I am is up to me

Nothing I have to prove

I'm easy to love

I'm good enough

The perfect you is you

Yeah!

There's an iconic tickbird I know

Who's much tougher than he appears

He's overcome some challenges

Throughout his busy years

And the tickbird I know loves

Who he's grown into, you see

And it just ends up

The tickbird of my dreams is me

Yeah!

The perfect me is me

The perfect you is you

And when we listen to each other

There is nothing we can't do

Yeah!

The perfect me is me

The perfect you is you

And when we listen to each other

There is nothing we can't do

Yeah!

Who I am is up to me

Nothing I have to prove

I'm easy to love

I'm good enough

The perfect you is you

Yeah!

We're here. Community Unity Day.

[Lulu, Hip-Hop, Flom Flom] Wow.
