you should have been more careful sagua

sorry

it was just an old collar mama no sagua

it wasn't just an old collar it was a

very

important collar that has been in our

family for a very long time

your mother's right that color has been

passed down to the eldest daughter for

as long as anyone can remember oh long

time ago

the first magistrate of the village

ordered a special artist

to make it for your great great great

grandmother

[Music]

the magistrate thought that your

ancestor was so

special so unique in all of china

why what did she do she was one of the

first

scribe cats and because of her

special gift our special gift

the magistrate honored her with this

very color

[Music]

many years passed and then it was time

for me to receive this

precious gift from my mother

i was very honored because it meant that

i was mature

and responsible enough to take care of

the caller

and carry on the family tradition

and since your father had no sisters

nine i passed down the collar to me

wow i had no idea

and now it was your turn to receive the

caller

we thought you were ready i have to go

find it

oh no you don't it's late you can look

for it tomorrow

oh what did i do to our tradition

oh no it's not here

[Music]

to get my caller back

i'm looking for something oh looking for

treasure huh oh i love

looking for treasure it's not treasure

fufu

great great great grandmother

don't worry sagua

i'm here to help thanks you look for

anyone wearing it or carrying it out

here

while i check inside the palace someone

dug it up and we're gonna get it back

know who it belongs to

looking for something ink face

you're the ones who took my collar your

collar give it back to me right now it's

a very special caller

if it's so special then why'd you bury

it

thing

important to me and my family

teasing me

i didn't know how special it really was

proudly

sagua that's what i was trying to tell

you yesterday before you ran out

when i was young too you know

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

what gorgeous sil thank you your grace

i promise you'll have the most glorious

new robe

i hope so my banquet is one month away

and i expect to look

even better than my usual best

what is all that commotion it's those

plain brown

birds how dare they interrupt us

quiet all of you

[Music]

uh oh ty ty seems really mad

over here let's go play who's that

it's my new friend xiaobao his family

just moved to our village

he's really cool coming

[Music]

and who brought those useless birds here

in the first place

they're not fit for a palace um

well my precious plum i suppose the

swiftlets were here before we were

i want them removed not only are they

noisy but they are simply too plain

they must be banished from the province

anything for you my lovely lychee

[Laughter]

we're teaching masters no one is faster

no it'll be really fun i'll sneak you

into the palace for the big banquet next

month

yeah that'd be great we can't oh no

i just remembered i'm moving at the end

of the month you're leaving

my dad's a rat chaser we're always

moving from one place to another

but you just got here i know

but we have a whole month to play ready

um it's kind of getting late i gotta go

i can't believe the swiftlets left

already

great everybody's leaving

[Music]

hey they're cute

[Music]

[Applause]

huh

that tickles

[Music]

we can do tricks too

[Music]

[Laughter]

aren't my mulberry trees beautiful this

time of year

what was this hideous creature

[Music]

these parasites are eating my mulberry

trees

but you don't understand those aren't

parasites

they're so an investigation but i they

must go at once

have you guys seen dogwa i can't find

him anywhere

he was here a minute ago i'm afraid of

bees he didn't need to bother you he's

probably just on his way to eat some

flower nectar

see when bees eat pollen gets all their

bodies

and when they go from flower to flower

the pod gets spread

and that helps the flowers grow how come

you know so much

well me and my family travel a lot we're

moving again in a few weeks

what is it my lotus blossoms these

bees help help

what's the matter a bee

stung me on the hand

oh you poor dear corker get me some

salve

those vicious beasts we'll make sure

this never happens again won't we dear

dearest i want you to draft a new law

immediately from now on i know

i know the bees are banished from the

palace

oh now the bees are gone too if this

keeps up we'll be the only animals left

[Music]

but the flowers need the bees

that's right chiqua all of nature is

connected by an invisible thread once

you break it

things can fall apart if we were the

only animals left

it would be awful around here donggua

dongwa there you are

teaching masters maybe tomorrow

oh okay maybe next time

that wasn't very nice what difference

does it make

he's moving anyway i know it's hard when

friends leave

especially xiaobao he was really fun

and it's hard to make new friends you're

right

but you know what i'm sure it's pretty

hard for xiaobao too

especially moving all the time yeah

i guess let's see tonight's menu for the

banquet

bird's nest soup imperial vegetables

roast duck and cassia flower cakes

yum makes you hungry doesn't it

what's the matter with tangua i think

he's sad because xiaobao is leaving

tonight

i'm just not hungry that's all

oh i hope my new robe is as glorious as

you promised

your grace i must explain

don't be modest i'm sure it's the finest

robe in all of china

what is the meaning of this it's not

even finished

there's been a shortage of silk your

grace since you banished the silkworms

silkworms you mean those ugly insects

made my beautiful silk

oh well there's still a wonderful meal

to enjoy

[Music]

i've been looking forward to this

delicacy all year

bird's nest why this is a simple broth

what happened to the bird's nest soup a

thousand

pardons your grace but since the

swiftlets were banished

there were no birds nests for the soup

it must be time for the cassia flower

cakes

ah yes i almost forgot

that will make up for everything

[Music]

but there's something missing

it's so so

bland i did my best your grace

but there's no honey since you banished

the

bees

it um it was a lovely banquet tonight

wasn't it my

perfect peach well yes i

uh i guess it could have been better

it was a disaster and it's all my fault

and yours oh what am i

saying i've made a terrible mistake

birds these worms i never stopped to

think that my selfish needs would

make such a mess it's not too late my

fastidious fungi

we can always bring those creatures back

yes of course

we've got to send that message out

tonight

so glad you changed your mind now we can

have all the silk robes

honey and bird's nest soup we want

i know you miss those things and you

probably

never even thought about where they came

from unlike me

but dear daughters perhaps we should be

less focused on what these

creatures give us and think more about

the delicate balance of

nature that they help create

the message is all ready to go but

i'm afraid we'll have to wait until

morning for the messenger to carry it to

the next province

there must be some way to deliver that

message right now

it is time you were more than just the

most beautiful bird

in china do something

useful around here for a change now

i can't wait for our friends to come

back

i never thought any of them were ugly

i'm just glad ty ty changed her mind

before it was too late

and they were gone forever

[Music]

i thought you didn't want to be my

friend anymore no

i guess i just didn't want to say

goodbye

this is for you whoa thank you doma

[Music]

to chelsea masters no one is faster

[Music]
