[Music]

[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
wait up
[Music]
come on job
that was close dog we can't wait forever
come on
yeah don't be such a scaredy cat
this doesn't look so good come on we
don't have time for chickens
you should have seen us out in the
lagoon my dear
oh how i love to sail
and oh how i don't it was very generous
of uncle dunn to give you his boat
interesting
reader this town kowloon why does it
ring a bell
cow loon didn't we have a visitor from
there who brought you a special gift
yes pineapple cake how could i forget
it was so delicious
what a perfect excuse for an afternoon
excursion
what we'll just sail down to kowloon
pick up some delectable cake and be back
in time for dinner
floating in our lagoon is one thing but
the open sea can be quite rough
yes your magistrate the sea is rather
unpredictable
especially south of the village hmm
that's a good point
but it sounds like you'll make an
excellent navigator
we'll be fine
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
i've been looking all over for you the
magistrate and reader are going on a
boat trip
so well i know how much you like boats
i thought you'd want to go and see it
yeah that does sound fun
look jet jet a chicken in the
marketplace
what are you talking about i guess your
brother didn't tell you that he wasn't
tough enough to jump over the washers
alley just because
you guys did it doesn't make it tough
what do you know
[Laughter]
you made a good choice you acted smart
maybe but i still feel pretty bad
just do be careful my dear of course my
precious plum
in fact i'll take dongwa with me
he'll be our good luck cat i'm going on
a boat
[Music]
wow what are all these ropes for
actually we call those lines on a boat
the name's wang lo
welcome aboard yep those lines can serve
a sailor well
i remember one time we were docked in
hong kong if it weren't for the lines
that monsoon would have dragged us under
what's your name
dongla hey you've really been to hong
kong
oh yeah lots of times
[Music]
what a beautiful day for an adventure
isn't that right my seaworthy cat
that's right i'm seaworthy
[Music]
[Applause]
huh
one time it was so bad we had to lower
the sail
and we still almost blew over it was
pretty rough
wow it must be amazing to have so many
adventures
yep the trick is to always use your head
or you could end up in real trouble
not to worry land h*
[Music]
thank you thank you
peter are you all right yes
yes i'm fine you're mad at me good
then let's find out where that pastry
shop is
wow look at all these boats
hey look what the tide swept in
[Laughter]
i haven't seen you since that big
monsoon swept you ashore last year
who's this your first mate
oh what a marvelous shop
i must come back soon hmm
we were completely lost in that storm
i knew i had to help the magistrate find
his heading or we'd never make it back
and you weren't scared me scared
no way but after that the sail came
crashing down
the magistrate really needed my help
then that's incredible
so what did you do i i
always trying to make new friends
come on we need to get home before dark
oh this is nothing
nothing at all phew
this is rough are you sure we're okay up
here
yeah it's normal to have some large
afternoon swells
they'll pass hey what was that story
about back there
i guess i got carried away i was just
trying to tell a story like one of yours
yeah but mine really happened
here's a little advice from a little
sailor making up stories
isn't gonna help you make friends
come on let's go check the lines
i'm gonna get you
[Music]
[Laughter]
hey where's your scaredy-cat brother i
told you he's no scaredy cat in fact
he's on a sailing adventure with the
magistrate right now
oh we'll be sure to be on the dock
waiting
for the big time sailor
oh i'm afraid we won't make it home for
dinner
or ever don't worry your magistrate
we'll get there
i hope
[Music]
what are we gonna do hmm what would a
smart sea captain do
well that snap line controls the sail
right
i guess we have to figure out a way to
get that line down
all i know is i've seen cats climb lots
of trees
and that mask looks a lot like a tree to
me
what a brave cat i told you he'd be a
lucky addition to the crew
you really showed your stuff back there
i did didn't i
soon it will be dark and they won't be
able to find their way home
[Music]
cook i want you to go to the village
square immediately and make an
announcement
all villagers must take their lanterns
down to the wharf
[Music]
if we keep following the northern star
we should
let's face it we're lost we've been
following that star for over an hour and
it hasn't
moved one bit looks like the village is
throwing us a little welcome home party
[Music]
what is it
[Music]
why it's my wonderful villagers and my
lovely family
they're lighting our way home
oh where is he he should have seen the
lights and been here by now
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
my dear i was so worried
oh there was nothing to worry about my
caring chrysanthemum
the trip was a success thanks to our
lucky cat
dongwa without his bravery in the storm
we never would have made it home
thanks for showing me the ropes out
there nothing to
it just remember the adventures you live
are always better than the ones you make
up that's
great advice thanks for everything
with many more to come i'm sure well
i better go see if there's any bailing
to do
see ya sailor bye you really saved the
magistrate in that storm
you weren't scared of course i was
scared
but after the sail line broke i was the
only one who could climb the mast and
fix it
wow so what do you say we go jumping
across some rooftops tomorrow
no way i may be brave but i'm no dummy
anyway like i was saying i fixed the
sail
oh i forgot the wonderful pastries
[Music]
you can see me as i sit up high but if
you touch me
you will fry what am i
[Music]
well give up too easy it's the sun and
it's so
hot today it feels like the sun's in our
clubhouse
yeah even my wings are wilting
[Music]
ah noodles everywhere
[Music]
what are you doing
[Music]
this is how you deal with the dreadful
heat sleeping
no no my most perfect peach i've been
inspired by a most wondrous dream
about what noodles i want to make a robe
of
noodles a robe of noodles
if you're going to waste your time
making things why not work on something
that might be
useful useful yes
put your energy into creating a more
comfortable sedan chair or finer silk
or something to make this awful heat go
away
[Music]
yes of course create something useful
[Music]
what kind of coat can only be put on wet
how do you know so many riddles
it's a game we all play back in the cave
i get a lot of time to think
especially when it's my turn to clean up
you're gonna have to think of another
one
cause i know the answer is a coat of
[Music]
paint
[Music]
what are you looking for this
it's my uncle coo's work
uncle yes my uncle
the inventor
there was only one thing he loved more
than silly riddles
and that was inventing things my uncle
would toil away
on his latest invention and i would
spend
hours and hours just watching him
[Music]
some of his inventions worked
[Music]
and some didn't that never stopped him
from trying
uncle coo always said sometimes
grand ideas come from spoiled
noodles my uncle never gave up
look here his design for a portable walk
here's no hands chopsticks
nonsense i think the heat is getting to
you
what's gotten to me is the fever to
invent something of use for the entire
palace
you know what would be great let's
invent something to cool us off
hey how about a frozen parasol that
drips ice on you
yeah or maybe a really long stick that
could push the sun
further away good one or a fan that
attaches to your head
wait a sec aren't these ideas kind of
too silly
i think when you're trying to invent
something no idea is too silly
come on so the challenge is to put our
brains to the test
and create some useful things yes your
magistrate
reader you will assist me and
cook not to worry i have an idea already
your magistrate
invention will satisfy the magistrates
huge
appetite for noodles
a noodle machine
think reader think a useful invention
how about another one of me defend us
both baba
this heat is ruining all the lovely
flowers we planted
i am so sorry my dear in this weather it
would take the constant rushing of a
stream to satisfy our garden's thirst
[Music]
i've got a great idea thank you for the
inspiration sweet bottle
[Music]
hmm
rock might come in handy anything might
come in handy since we don't know what
we're going to invent
let's try this one more time
not again
[Music]
wow that's a mess
[Applause]
are you sure this is how your uncle's
water invention works your magistrate
yes it is exactly like his drawing
what are you doing it's the invention
you inspired
a watering device for the plants outside
um if it's meant for the outside
then what is it doing inside
as always my dear a most worthy
observation
excuse me oh help
[Music]
okay done tada
a flying machine
oops maybe we should call it a falling
machine instead
oh well there must be something in here
we can use to make another invention
[Music]
[Applause]
my glasses where are my glasses i can't
see a thing without them
oh my head
wow
you're huge
i think we've invented something bufo
that's great
[Music]
where is it
[Music]
that's the last pipe your magistrate
we're
done not quite there's just one more
thing we need
but my uncle wrote it down as a riddle
up and down i go i make the water flow
what am i up and down i go
i make the water flow what am i
hey it's a riddle i make the water flow
hmm i got it it's a pump a pump goes up
and down and makes the water flow
i know where to find a pump the cook's
funny noodle machine
that's it
[Music]
my noodle machine come back
i'll pump your magistrate our pump goes
up and down and makes the water flow
of course a pump but where did this one
come
[Music]
it from part of my invention which
frankly was a messy failure nonsense
you've saved the day with the help of my
uncle coo's original design i give you
a watering device for our precious
garden
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
harder you must pump harder
[Music]
i don't think it's supposed to do that
we've failed
not dear this is certainly an excellent
way to cool off
that's for sure and the water is also
helping the plants
just like what my uncle used to say
sometimes brand ideas
come from spoiled noodles speaking of
noodles my invention it may not
be a noodle roll it's
wonderful
what is red orange yellow green blue and
purple and no one can touch it not even
you
or me hmm i really don't know
i finally stopped you it's a rainbow
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
