into the side of a mountain

[Applause]

[Music]

what am i gonna do i'm leading a flight

in a few nights and i can't even fly

straight

[Applause]

[Music]

you sure look like you've got everything

under control

control comes easy to a peaceful mind

hey you wouldn't happen to know anything

about a centrifugal bat locator would

you

a bad to wants to locate himself need

only look at his reflection and there

he will be yeah sure

anyway like i was saying i have this

problem i can't seem to fly right

some other bat said i might have lost my

centrifugal bat locator

hmm centrifugal bat locator

hmm well i once knew a bat with a

similar problem you did

oh please you gotta help me patience my

friend

what is your name uh fufu i

am master wufou meet me tomorrow at dusk

on the pagoda

there we will begin to fix your problem

[Music]

22 23

24 ha he'll never find me

here 29

30. ready or not here i come

hmm i wonder where songwood could be

[Music]

ha found you again

so we're gonna do some flying huh ah

yes tonight we fly

in the mind

without inner peace a bat cannot fly

breathe in

[Music]

[Applause]

breathe out

[Music]

today no one's gonna find me

good one face it you stink at this game

oh yeah well i've got a new plan

[Music]

okay so today we fly

yes today we fly

on the ground huh

now we will work on balance without

perfect balance

a bat is lost like a leaf in the wind

but my balance is great see

[Music]

there's no way wing-wing is gonna find

me this time

did i hear somebody say my name hey it's

the easiest to find cat in the world

[Music]

saguaro

you must re-learn how to use your sonar

it is time for your ears to be your eyes

[Music]

let yourself go here where you are

sometimes there are obstacles in a bad

[Music]

path

wow i did it

so tomorrow we fly for real no breathing

no blindfolds nothing

yes tomorrow we fly

for real we meet at sunrise

there goes that fufu make way everybody

is coming through you never know when

you lose control

[Music]

[Applause]

you appear to be a little shaken fufu

are you sure i'm ready for the next step

if you are not ready

you would not be here now let's start

with a basic

loop it is a good wing stretcher

[Music]

[Applause]

believe in yourself you can do it

[Music]

[Applause]

is a good start

remember to always relax through your

turn

imagine where you want to be and you

will get there

[Music]

wow do you think i'll ever be able to do

that

of course today you flew with grace

and skill

[Music]

our lessons are now done so

my centrifugal bat locator is all fixed

uh there is no centrifugal bat locator

i think somebody was playing a joke on

you

really then what was wrong with me you

lost

faith in yourself and that's why i

couldn't fly well

a bat needs confidence to fly

remember that you are as much a bad as

the next

don't let anyone tell you otherwise

the moon will soon be rising go

prepare to lead your flight

i'll just get a head start on finding a

perfect hiding place for tomorrow

[Music]

breathe in breathe out

hey fufu did you fix your centrifugal

bat locator yet

yeah we don't want you getting us lost

tonight

then you'd better stay on my tail yeah

right

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i know that voice

um sorry i can't leave you guys right

now you're on your own

i knew he couldn't handle it

help someone yourself go

[Music]

[Music]

you saved me just in time thanks

that was so scary think nothing of it

what are friends for

so what were you doing up there anyway

the alley cats and dongwa kept making

fun of me

i figured i'd show them show them how

good you

are a wise friend once told me

remember you are as much a cat as the

next

except of course for me it was bad

what's that mean

it means you're great no matter what

others say or think

you think so trust me on this one

anyway i should get going i've got a

full moon flight to lead

giant my friend

where did you go i thought you were

ready to leave the flight

sorry i had to help my best friend first

a wise choice there is a full moon

every month but your best friend

is very rare it sure

is hey that reminds me who was that

other bat with the uh

centrifugal bat locator problem you're

looking at him

now go the flight is yours to leave

[Music]
