my best friend
[Music]
[Music]
my best friends
[Music]
watch me do a backflip
[Music]
that's very dangerous and it's don't
worry mama i didn't get hurt
see it's strictly against palace rules
to play on the statues
yes mama i only wanted to have some fun
well you don't need to break rules to
have fun
look why not play some key chance
you like that yes mama
rules rules don't do this
don't do that one hour of calligraphy
practice
every day lick your food bowl clean
and don't play with your food oh
and never ever jump onto the palace
alley wall
you could fall
and be swept away by the sea
come on let me give you a boost up
[Music]
wow
[Music]
that was close sagua
what are you two doing look we saved the
vase mama
oh
[Music]
sounds like sago and shigura are in big
trouble
need to break rules to have fun and you
wouldn't have had to
save the vase if you hadn't knocked it
down in the first place
yes mama
[Music]
what have they done this time no muddy
paws allowed in the palace
oops sorry i forgot please clean that
mess up right now
i'm trying i'm trying it's just not
exactly getting any better is it
here use this
no no no shigura
why don't you all just go outside and
play
yes mama
[Laughter]
go outside and play that's an easy rule
to obey
great idea using the pillow as a mop
you got me out of cleaning up all that
mud
hey the precious palace kittens
[Music]
what are you doing outside looking for
trouble we're on an adventure
yeah you know hunting for food
hunting but cookies saving all those
yummy
shouldn't you all be back in the palace
braiding cherry blossoms in your hair
we are here because we were very naughty
and broke the palace rules
oh you've been naughty kittens have you
broke all the rules well there's only
one rule in the alley
and that's have
[Music]
fun
[Music]
just imagine what life will be like with
no rules at all
[Music]
we could eat whatever we wanted
[Music]
wherever we wanted
and play whatever and wherever we wanted
and we could get the reader to oh wait
with no rules the palace wouldn't need a
reader of the rules
but but that would mean mama and baba
wouldn't have any work
[Music]
and that'd mean we don't have to leave
the palace
no no
[Music]
[Applause]
the magistrate would still have to make
rules for the villagers
just not for us well that doesn't seem
fair
sure it's fair because the magistrate
would make a rule
that cats must never obey the rules
[Music]
but what if the magistrate made a really
fun rule like
like on every full moon everyone must
stay up all night and fly a kite
or uh or you wouldn't make
rules like that and even if he did huh
[Music]
wow
hang on
[Music]
what were you thinking you know you're
never allowed on the alley wall
i uh i'm sorry
we've got to get her inside she's
catching the cold
[Music]
oh my poor dears
what happened it's all my fault
i shouldn't have gone up on the alley
well
what come let's get you all dried off
and up to bed
[Music]
i don't know what's wrong with you i
haven't been able to come up with a
single new rule for
days now do you have any suggestions
[Music]
i thought not it is far easier to read
the rules than it is to
link them up up up up
[Music]
it is strictly against puddle rules to
have palaces in the puddle
uh i mean against palace rules to have
puddles
who is responsible for this
[Music]
oh dear
is one of my little kitties ill
why you're all wet
they're all all wet quick
fetch them each a bowl of hot broth oh
and bring me one too a big bowl
[Music]
what's this
seaweed
[Music]
mama never scolded me even though i
broke one of her biggest rules
yeah walking the alley wall that's
much worse than doing a belly flop on a
statue
huh and way worse than coming into the
palace with mud on your paws
so that means i'm the naughtiest
kitten of all what doing what you did
is nothing to be proud of you could have
been
could have been
[Music]
and be swept away by the sea
swept away by the sea
you sound just like mama and you don't
have to break the rules to have fun
right right you know something shigua
maybe mama had the right idea oh
hot broth
[Music]
nothing better ready
no rule
if anyone should fall into the sea they
shall be entitled to a delightfully
refreshing bowl of hot broth
compliments of the palace
but only if they fall in accidentally
after all rules are rules and they must
be
respected i got a noodle
you know the rules don't play with your
[Music]
food
[Music]
oh
[Music]
welcome to our beautiful village
this visit commemorates a time of great
historical
importance when your great great
great great great great
great grandfather first came from italy
and met with my great great great
etc etc grandfather
setting the stage for centuries of peace
and commerce between our two lands
your excellency emily for this
beautiful and a generous welcome if only
my great
great great excuse me
if only my ancestor could see this
magnificent moment
we have a special reception plan for you
right this way
your excellency your grace and the
members of the court
it is my pleasure to travel here to your
beautiful province to celebrate the
anniversary
of a very similar journey made many
hundreds of years ago
a journey where your ancestor warmly
hosted
my ancestor the legendary marco polo
and on that journey grand papa polo
discovered the
wondrous pasta right here in your land
and took it back to italy
is he talking about i thought your
ancestor gave him noodles
a garganzola cheese from garganzola
jeez what's that
[Music]
oh just act grateful i'm sure
it is something very expensive
oh thank you signori
[Music]
we've been out of it for well it feels
like
centuries and for this most
beautiful of a chinese flowers an
exquisite diamond necklace from aroma
jewels like this could only grace the
delicate
neck of one so lovely and refined as
yourself
oh signore i do not know what to say and
to commemorate your historic visit we
too
have gifts for you
what the beautiful things you have here
even your cats are so
elegant so unusual i have been admiring
them all
afternoon multi-belly
[Music]
these cats are very special they are our
imperial cats not only are they
beautiful
but they have a very unique talent they
can write
beautiful choreography with their tails
fantastico to have a cat like this
well signori if you like the idea so
much
why don't you take one of our cats back
with you to italy
you can choose from one of these three
fine kittens
make your selection by tomorrow and let
me know
you will have the first cat who can
write for you
in italian i just don't understand
how the master could give one of us away
that's
terrible terrible it's awful
it stinks just like that stinky cheese
that man brought with him
i'm scared what if it's me
what if it's me what are you two worried
about
of course it'll be me i'm the strongest
i'm the best looking i'm sure he'll pick
me
i don't want to leave you guys i don't
want to leave mama and bubba
and i sure don't want to go to italy
maybe nobody will have to go to italy
come here
okay
do not worry my beautiful wife i will
not let the master give away
any of our children i will not let our
family be broken up
but how we will leave here if we have to
other cats can live on the streets so
can we
now we can forget our plan maybe we
should still do it
how could you offer to give him one of
our valuable cats
well my miraculous mango it seemed like
a good idea
at the time but what am i to do now
i cannot go back on my word i would look
very foolish i cannot
lose face well we certainly cannot have
you looking foolish my dear
i will have to think of a way out
signore may i present you with our three
imperial kittens sagua
dongwa and shigura they will now show
you their very special gifts
and you will select one of them as your
very
own sagua you may go first
[Music]
i don't know what is wrong with her
today this kitten
is a young master of the martial arts
i'm ready to whisk them out of the room
if i have to
but i think our three smart children may
have worked out their own plan
[Music]
i just don't know what is wrong today
usually this one is very strong and oh
it is all right do not worry what about
this little one
moment what's wrong my little kitty
quick dip your paws in the pepper we'll
put it on each other and make him sneeze
wow while we're at it let's put some in
his teeth
now to make my choice perhaps it is a
pretty kitty
hmm
perhaps not this one maybe her brother
[Music]
push the teacup over toward him
yeah yeah but dog beer
i didn't realize i had an allergy to
cats
hey there mia belissa mama little one
do you want to come back to italy with
me
what a nice kitty and you even brought
me tea
grazie yes i think you are the one
mamma mia i thought we italians are like
things spicy
but this tea is
i must say these cats make me feel a
very strange
no no it's not niente i will take
one of these cats after all how could i
refuse your generous gift to me
i would be so rude so i will take
i will take the little one
she is so very cute if she doesn't make
me sneeze like the other ones do
come here little one stop wait
just a moment
signori senori
we have made a terrible mistake
by offering you one of our cats
what what you you change your mind
you see signori poro our cats can
only write in chinese that is all i know
so i'm afraid that these cats would be
quite useless to you
they will just be a source of continual
embarrassment to you when you return
oh to say nothing of all that sneezing
my goodness
now where was i
oh yes to make up for
all of this my husband would like to
offer you a gift which is much
more appropriate and much more grand
if i do say so myself a
special gift one which i
have painted for you myself
a painting of your ancestor
and my husband's ancestor depicting
their first
meeting together so many centuries ago
and here it is
oh it's
it's
it's magnificent
please accept this gift with our most
humble good wishes for a safe and serene
trip
back to your homeland thank you gracia
grazie mili you're welcome
quite welcome and now signore before the
trade winds shift to an undesirable
direction
you better be on your way may the gods
watch over you etc etc and all that blah
blah blah
have a wonderful journey ciao
you didn't know i was such a brilliant
artist
did you no i didn't
absolutely brilliant cook
let there be extra fish for the cats
tonight
and while you're at it prepare an extra
special meal for my
generous husband
[Music]
it's time for all of our families to be
together tonight
[Music]
