[Music]

[Music]

blue

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

space the final frontier no wait uh in a

galaxy far far away

yeah to market to market to buy a fat

pig that can't be right ah here it is

live and direct from the solar system

it's the superfood competition

it's the gala night with an all-star

crowd they're serious polaris regulus

i'm competing for the title of planet of

the year

mercury

venus

earth

say where's earth

[Applause]

mars

jupiter

saturn

uranus

neptune

and pluto

and if she ever shows up earth

oh sorry bad hair day couldn't do a

thing with all this vegetation hey watch

it

you're ruining my makeup

then let the competition begin our

celebrity judges the lula patrol

oh wait

that's us

peter time to put on our judges hats hey

we want to be judges too

i'm sorry but you're both too small to

wear the judge's hats all right it's

time to start our contestants will

appear in order of size

so

what is the order to answer that let's

look at the size of each planet in the

multipedia

jupiter saturn uranus and neptune are

the largest planets see how much bigger

they are than earth

it would take 30 earths to make a belt

around saturn

but earth doesn't seem so little when

compared to venus and mars

and earth is quite a bit bigger than

mercury and pluto

in fact it would take 17 plutos to make

a belt around earth

just like it would take 17 knees to make

a belt around you

unless malto gives up slug shape

[Music]

time for the thinking competition as the

biggest jupiter is on first i am big and

i know it my lunch size should not show

it no bigger planets around take that

now sit down

mommy nemo

you're on next after jupiter i'm ready

hey what's going on

i'm shrinking

[Music]

you can't get away with this

perfect my shrinking powder has reduced

eight planets to convenient takeout size

one more to go what's this green button

down no don't touch that it sprays

enlarging powder

[Music]

i'm guessing you're not happy about this

right

bigfoot

all right fadden you're on

saturn

i wonder if something's wrong i'd better

go check

dad did you hear that applause i think

we all know who the winner is

hey where is everyone

have you seen saturn anywhere

[Applause]

oh my

what's happening

huh

this isn't gonna change my score is it

[Music]

i wonder what's taking molotov so long

sorry folks show's over this contest is

in the bag and you're not getting your

planets back until i'm named ruler of

the

[Music]

this is a job for the zula patrol

come on

[Music]

[Music]

so long zula meddlers

this web is steel mesh it'll take time

to cut through it we haven't got time

trooper's getting away i'll stay on him

this web can't stop me

wait

we have to stop i can't pilot anymore

with this enormous foot

[Music]

i sure hope wig remembers to turn on his

tail

[Music]

she trapped her ship and she's giving me

directions okay then lead the way

[Music]

hey twinkle tiles when you're done let's

hit the store i've got a yen for a chewy

gooey galapa fudge bar

i was big really big i could have been a

super planet contender that quit your

whining we're all in the same boat

there must be some way out of here if

one of us could only reach the opening

he could lower a rope to the other

uh in case you hadn't noticed it's way

up there we're way down here yay you

think small you stay small stand on me

malto i'm still the biggest planet in

the sack jupiter that might work

oh dear i'm afraid you're not quite big

enough yeah i'm big enough you're just

too short

i have it you can stand on each other

make a ladder of planets biggest to

smallest if jupiter here can carry

everyone all of them egg an asteroid

belt bring it on saturn uranus neptune

up you go

okay i'm next venus mars mercury pluto

you're after me

hey that's my head you're standing

could someone scratch my nose

pluto you're next

you go ahead i'd just be in the way give

it a try molto

still out of reach pluto we need you up

here oh

i'd love to really but i think standing

on another planet is very rude

you can do it you know i'm so small that

i might not really be a planet

technically i shouldn't even be here

start climbing

right yeah just what i was going to say

just a little farther come on you can do

it

[Music]

i made it now grab onto this rope

hmm

[Music]

schroeder's inside the store follow me

[Music]

wow

[Music]

hey you're all out of the bag yeah and

we're not marble-sized anymore if you're

looking for malto he's down there

boy

the sky sure is something tonight

just look at all those planets

planets

well that would explain the lula patrol

coming this way

i'm outta here

[Music]

[Music]

no they saved themselves it's like i

always say it's amazing what you can do

with nine shrunken planets and a piece

of string which reminds me we need to

get back to the super planet competition

and to think you once had a swelled head

draxie quick hit the green button the

enlarging powder

actually tell you what before i do that

there's a few things i need uh like a

new comb a blow dryer some hair clips

maybe in different colors you know i saw

some very nice

there you are how come you're all not

back on stage for the super planet

competition no need we already decided

on the winner pluto

[Music]

he might be the smallest planet but he

has the biggest part just like our

smaller zuma patrollers without them we

would have never found malto

which only goes to show that being small

doesn't mean you can't do big things

take my aunt minnie no higher than a

cupcake but she can wrestle the gator

without breaking a sweat next time i'll

bring pictures

[Music]

all right everyone it's time for our

motto moment which means there's not a

moment to lose

jupiter saturn uranus and neptune are

the largest planets see how much bigger

they are than earth it would take 30

earths to make a belt around saturn but

earth doesn't seem so little when

compared to venus and mars

and earth is quite a bit bigger than

mercury and pluto

so that's the large and small of it see

you next time

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

blue

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

space it's a great place to play ring

around the planets of course you can't

play it with every planet because not

all of them have rings and but i have a

nice personality and i'm a wonderful

dancer

the story you are about to see is

completely made up only the science

facts are true

this is

the case of the missing rings

our story begins at jupiter help

help

my rings are gone my planetary rings

i've been robbed

calling zola patrol

[Music]

this is the zula patrol when there's

trouble in the galaxy we go to work

my partner's name is zeter the really

smart one is malto the flying light

bulbs are wizzy and wig the short green

guy with the jumbo honker is gorgon

and me

the name's bula we were working the

orbital shift when the call came in it

was a code 151-4

missing dreams

keep it moving folks nothing to see here

wow look at that

so you say you were taking a nap that's

right and when i woke up my rings were

gone

can you describe them well

they are mostly dust dust huh yes does

some planets have rocks and ice in their

rings but that's not my style here uh

maybe this will help

this was taken at the last planetary

pajama party

we were all having such a great time

playing pin the tail of the clipazoid

just the ring facts please

i'm sorry did you get all that sketch

artist

yes yes that's them exactly my beautiful

ring

[Music]

this case

just became personal we decided to see

what the multipedia could tell us about

rings

sorry wrong page these are gymnastic

rings

valves that ring

here we are planetary rings

rings are circles of ice dust and rocks

that surround planets but not all

planets have them

in the solar system the four giant gas

planets jupiter saturn uranus and

neptune have rings and the other known

planets mercury venus earth mars and

pluto don't have rings

some rings are quite spectacular but if

we examine them closely we'd see that

jupiter's rings are mostly dust

uranus and neptune have rings that are

dust and rocks

while satin has the most spectacular

rings of all they're not only dust and

rock but have several different kinds of

ice

but while we were busy learning about

rings another planet's rings were being

stolen

oh no

cedar and i interviewed the latest

victim neptune but we didn't get any

answers

just more questions you think the thefts

are related there's one way to find out

solve the crime

we decided to question anyone who might

have a reason to steal them starting

with the planets that didn't have rings

maybe this was a simple case of jealousy

we started with pluto i was in my orbit

the whole time i never left ask sharon

in my moon we were getting nowhere fast

that's when the ring wrestler struck

again this time it was uranus

with the planets all in the clear malta

reviewed the mugshot files for possible

suspects clearance the iceman comet

blackie the whole

dark the secretly scheming intruder and

mugsy meteor

ah sure i flew true uranus rings who

doesn't but they was there when i left

see nice story mugsy why don't you put a

ribbon on it and save it for my birthday

okay okay i did see something see

just as i was leaving this spaceship

comes by see shining this big light it

looked like one of them portable ring

rustler rays or something that's all i

know

honest the old ring rustler ray racket

that explains a lot and i found

something interesting on the computer

someone just bought a planetary ring

masher the address on the receipt is

asteroid 263

the home of mr i am guilty there just

might be a connection

let's pay a visit to mr guilty on

asteroid 263

here it is the magnificent setting for

my future headquarters

this floating rock soon i'll have built

a monument to myself a real standout

among batty buildings and what could be

more magnificent than to build it out of

the spectacular material of planetary

rings

so that's what we're stealing the rings

for yes

plus my fortress will have extra

protection if it's made out of those

rings so they're made of something

really special huh they must be just

look at them you mean you don't know

oh great

[Music]

are you mr i am guilty i am guilty yeah

semi-professional bowler

[Music]

we'd like to talk to you about your

planetary ring masher planetary ring

masher the one you're standing next to

oh zad julia the dad's a a tongue rack

towel rack

yikes

oh oopsie your toupee just spoke no that

that was me i'm a ventriloquist see

hi

i'm 3d supplies cracking bowling hands

your lips are moving that's just my

professional part you're a

semi-professional bowler slash

ventriloquist with a fake german accent

living alone on an asteroid isn't

everything

we questioned mr i am guilty for over an

hour for every question he had an answer

did he seem suspicious in his job

clothing and hairpiece choices

yes

but in our galaxy a citizen is innocent

until proven guilty with no evidence to

go on i decided to play a hunch that

meant it was time for a stakeout near

saturn

saturn still had its rings

i don't see them oh they're there but

not

he's making off with my rings

check it out we thought we'd sticked out

the wrong planet then we remembered

venus isn't a gas planet it's a rocky

one that means venus doesn't have rings

the distress call

was a trick and we'd fallen for it like

an apple from a tree and while we were

gone saturn's rings were stolen now that

all the rings are mine i have the

ingredients i need to build my empire

headquarters

[Music]

the ring wrestler may have gotten away

but this time he left a clue

a single strand of hair with a barrette

just like mr guilty super this ties him

to the crime scene time to wrap up this

case this is a job

for the zula patrol

[Music]

this is the zuma patrol

put your hands and toupee

you're too late zula patrol

dark trooter i should have known

you

let's see you get through

that

[Music]

what it's like these rings are just

plain dust come on einstein

[Music]

[Music]

we wanted to catch dark trudeau but we

knew our number one job was to save the

rings

[Music]

thanks to the persistence of the zula

patrol the planets and their rings were

happily reunited the case was closed and

the suspects dark trooder and traxie

were put on zula's very much wanted list

the story you have just seen was really

really good

i loved every minute of it

[Music]

welcome to our malto moment come in

today we learned about planetary rings

in the solar system the four giant gas

planets

jupiter saturn uranus and neptune have

rings and the other known planets

mercury venus earth mars and pluto don't

have rings do you remember what the

rings are made of onions

not exactly i'll give you a hint

frozen water

the stuff testy is cleaning up

and hard things you find on the ground

[Music]

that's right ice dust and rocks just

like we have here hey let's make our own

yes

not quite well

what do we make the scientific term for

this is a mess

we'll see you again soon
