that's just a problem Nanny the others

don't help make it but I I didn't do

anything I'm not talented I'm just a

nerd now just a minute scooter everyone

has some Talent

really mhm

it's just that some of us have to look a

little harder to find it thanks again

for the wonderful present kids you're

welcome nanny

[Music]

scooter

he's right I'm sure you've got some

talent in you you think so sure I'm

talented and you're my brother maybe

you're good at gymnastics like me here

try a somersault like this

well that didn't look too hard

foreign

[Music]

sure try an easy job first you know the

one about the chicken okay here goes

uh why did the chicken cross the road

wait a minute did he cross at the

crosswalk if he didn't it's dangerous it

doesn't matter just get to the punch

line all right to get to the other side

how was that

oh it's no use I'm about as funny as a

c*ck

personally I think you're funnier than a

c*ck you do sure see they aren't

funny at all

what's the matter

don't give up scooter maybe you've got

an ear for music

like me you think that's possible Ralph

only one way to find out try something

simple like this

foreign

[Music]

don't take it so hard scooter it's not

that you don't have talent it's just

well you don't have inspiration it's for

what inspiration you know something that

makes you really want to go out and do

something I sure need some of that stuff

well you're not the only person who ever

had trouble getting his creativity

started I'm not no did I ever tell you

about my great ancestor well about 500

years ago give or take a year somewhere

in Italy where spaghetti comes from

lived one of the most famous artists and

creators of all kind

Leonardo de frog

boy I'm sure in a creative slump all

I've done today is designed the world's

first helicopter oh well maybe if I take

it for a spin I'll get an idea for

something pretty to paint

there must be something around here

that's interesting enough to make a good

painting

hey Gonzo Angelo

Leonardo what's up uh just me I guess

you see anything worth painting today

nope I looked and looked

[Music]

do you like it uh gee it's really nice

Gonzo Angelo but uh I think maybe his

nose is too big

motorcycle

okay

okay

[Music]

why don't you just call it David and no

one will ever know this

[Music]

[Applause]

don't mention it and so Leonardo da frog

searched and searched for something to

paint unfortunately Leonardo was not yet

an expert helicopter pilot

[Music]

chopping cheese and tomato pizzas

if I don't do something fast I'm gonna

be frog legs parmigiana you know I'll

draw the world's first parachute

he hope this works

[Music]

Leonardo

are you all right no I'm looking for

inspiration something to paint who are

me to paint the most famous painting in

the world

[Music]

[Applause]

find something to paint

Studio

right maybe if you stood on your head

and stuck your tongue out

better off opening up a pizza parlor

scooter

people now and then gosh maybe I could

find something that will inspire me to

paint sure sure can we'll help you yeah

paint a picture of my nose no no paint a

funny joke like the guy who invented

spaghetti he was really using his noodle

my body come on excuse

in you somewhere don't give up yet

scooter everybody has tough times now

and then they do why sure they do isn't

that right guys

I'm not sure what we mean

[Music]

I was just I know count I used to think

that I would get nowhere but then I

learned when I'm feeling low down I'm

back up on my feet if I remember all my

dreams I used to get defeated

I used to even hate the color green but

every time I think I can't get started I

think of all my dreams and then I'm

right back home

[Music]

inspiration games

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

gosh I never thought of it that way

maybe there is some hope for me all I've

got to do is find my hidden talent

It's gotta be around here somewhere hmm

I might have hidden talents hey

on something

[Music]

wow there it is

glitter manual dexterity oh that means

I'm good with my hands why I could build

anything with these hands cars Rockets

these hands I could make the neatest

building in the world

believe I'm a clutch a dead snail has

more Talent than me

blimp say that's really something yeah

you can fly and play tennis at the same

time

oh another talented person I can't stand

it

what's wrong with scooter

um

well he's he's having a little trouble

finding his hidden talent oh

must feel awful

[Music]

cheers

on the sidewalk it isn't of course not

Talent is something that comes from the

need of the moment I get it like when

Nanny catches me eating cookies before

dinner and I have to make up a starving

I get real talented then yeah I don't

think that's exactly what fun submits as

he oh I know that

scooter I come from a long line of

talented scientific inventors and their

most very talented inventions were

inventable because they have to be so

you see students sometimes necessity is

the mother of invention oh yeah well

who's his father

okay wow I never realized that needing

something could bring out a person's

Talent any of you guys need anything

hi kids what you doing

[Music]

how do you like your present I just love

it Fozzy only I can't seem to figure out

why it isn't working just right don't

worry Nelly fix it

the petals are stuck that's nothing I

can fix that

[Music]

Joe you broke it I can fix it

[Music]

it's okay you kids don't have to fix it

right now

cut it

[Music]

nanny

it's simple there's too much torque on

the ratchet arm

too much wood and a hole it was easy I

just drew a picture of it on my computer

and found out what was wrong

there it'll work perfectly now

I even hooked up my radio so it'll play

music when you panel why thank you

scooter that's very clever of you

what did I find your hidden talent I did

sure you're really talented when it

comes to figuring things out with your

computer gosh

God you never thought of that I guess I

had Talent all along and I even got to

help make Nanny's birthday present you

certainly did scooter

and thanks again

here somewhere maybe I swallowed it and

it's in my stomach I'll say ah you tell
