Dr. Seuss's the Sneetches (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Oi!

Ooh!

Oh, ow, ow!

Oh! Huh.

Hello there. Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm David O'Doodle Van Donkel McFuzz,

and my job is to tell it like it is,

or like it was.

I come from this island

surrounded by beaches,

and the folks who live there,

well, they're called the Sneetches.

Now, Star-Belly Sneetches

have bellies with stars,

while Moon-Belly Sneetches

have moons upon thars.

But the Moon and Star-Bellies

did not get along.

Each thought they were better

and the other was wrong.

Here, uh, you can see for yourself.

Oh no, not those Moon-Bellies again.

Aw, you Star-Bellies

think you're so special.

But everyone knows

that moons are better than stars.

Psh! We're better!

No, we're better!

They felt far too different

to share the same space.

So they went their own ways

and made their own place.

The Star-Belly Sneetches,

they went to the trees,

while Moon-Belly Sneetches,

they went to the seas.

Yes, that's how

the island of Sneetches arranged.

But this is a story of how it all changed.

Yahoozo!

Let's see.

No, no, no.

Ooh, that's good.

I know!

Woo-hoo-hoo, I love that!

To the drawing board.

Ah.

Ah.

-Aha!

-Oh, oh, oh!

Oh.

Hm? Ah.

Ooh, I've got it!

Oh, Bean, you're awake.

Uh-huh.

Check it out. I just had

the best idea for an invention!

-Oh.

-I gotta show Mom and Dad.

Huh?

There will be breakfast.

Oh! Ooh!

Yahoozo!

Oh! Oh.

-There's my Stella Bella.

-Morning, sweetie.

Come on, come on! You gotta see my idea!

Okay, are you ready?

-Ready.

-Are you really ready?

Yep, we are really ready.

But are you really, really?

Okay, okay. I just want you to know

this is the best idea I've ever had.

Drumroll, please.

-Prepare to be amazed by

-Oh!

kite wings.

Huh.

Two kites pop out of the backpack

like wings.

Then you can fly into the sky

and see the stars up close.

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Oh-h*?

I-It's really so creative,

sweetie, but, uh

Don't you like it?

It's not that I don't like it.

It's just Star-Belly Sneetches don't fly.

Why would we need to do that?

Oh, I don't know.

Because it would be awesome!

Why don't you like anything different?

Oh, sweetie, we do.

We like that you're different.

We just don't want you

to be too different.

Well, we let you have a pet monkey.

That's pretty strange, right?

Oh!

Star-Belly Sneetches rely on tradition.

We do the same thing day after day

year after year.

That's part of what makes us great.

And boring.

Aw.

Aw, Stella Bella, aren't you gonna stay?

No.

I'm gonna go get some fresh air.

Okay, sweetie,

but don't be late to Star practice.

I won't.

I don't get it, Bean.

Why do Star-Belly Sneetches

always want everything to be the same?

There are so many new thoughts

just waiting to be thunk.

I love the feeling

When I jump out of bed

With a giddy little thought

Popping out of my head

And I've got to get it down

Before it flies away

It flies away

It flies away

Something no one's

Ever thought of before

Something every Star-Belly Sneetch

Would adore

Something that could make this world

A brighter place

-A brighter place

-I know it might be a little peculiar

-I know it might look strange

-Ah!

But if you really want

To be an inventor, Bean

You can't be afraid of change

I'm not scared

To think big and bold and new

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

I'm not scared

To go and flip my point of view

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

I can't stop flowing

My brain keeps going

The piles of sketches

Are growing and growing

This one's a Herkamazerk

Different, sure

But that thing could really work

Ah!

Exactly, it's like nothing before

It might be a little bit kooky

But, Bean, that makes me like it more

I'm not scared

To think big and bold and new

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm on a mission to create

Sure, tradition can be great

But sometimes something different

Can be wonderful too

Huh?

Huh?

What? Bean, you're still hungry?

Uh-huh.

Oh, h*!

Oh.

Here, let me help.

Huh?

-Oh my stars!

-Oh, h*?

It's a picture of a Moon-Belly Sneetch

in a floaty-float.

Ah!

Hm. It looks just like my kite wings.

Oh.

Oh no! We're late for practice!

Come on, Bean!

The Star-Belly Sneetches

were in quite a tizzy,

planning and prepping

and keeping quite busy.

See, the Star Celebration

was coming up soon,

and they were getting ready

on that afternoon.

Where is that girl?

Here I am!

You must not have seen me come in.

Oh, guess not. Hm.

Okay, my shining stars,

it's time to rehearse the Sneetch Speech.

This is the part where all the young kids

say that Star-Belly Sneetches

are better than Moon-Belly Sneetches.

Hm!

Um, I have a question.

Uh, yes, Stella?

Have you ever met a Moon-Belly Sneetch?

Met a Moon-Belly Sneetch?

Well, of course not!

Okay, well, if we've never met them,

then how do we know

that Star-Bellies are better?

Oh boy.

Now, Stella,

well, this is the speech

Star-Belly Sneetches

have given for generations.

Yeah, but why do we say that?

Is there a reason?

Of course there is.

The reason is that we have stars.

Uh-huh.

And they don't.

Uh-huh.

And so our stars make us better.

But that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Now, Stella, that's just the way it is.

Question time's over.

Let's practice our speech.

Aw.

Stella kept thinking

about the picture she saw

and couldn't get it out of her head.

She thought about

Moon-Belly Sneetches all day,

and later when she was in bed.

I'm not scared

I'm just interested in you

Who you are and what you do

Is what they teach us really true?

We're all Sneetches

What if we just start anew?

Couldn't something different be

Something wonderful too?

The very next morning,

Stella got her bag packed.

She couldn't keep thinking.

She needed to act.

While other Star-Bellies

were working away,

Stella decided she just couldn't stay.

So Stella and Bean walked toward the beach

to see if they could find

a Moon-Belly Sneetch.

Okay, Bean.

Tell me if you see any Moon-Bellies.

Huh? Bean?

Sylvester McMonkey McBean!

This is serious.

How can I say

I'm better than Moon-Belly Sneetches

if I've never even seen one?

Oh.

Hm. The water looks pretty empty.

Maybe it was silly to think I could

just come out here and find a

Moon-Belly Sneetch!

Right over there!

Oh my stars!

A real Moon-Belly Sneetch!

In a real floaty-float!

Ooh, I'm gonna go introduce myself.

I know the beach is forbidden,

but I'm just gonna go say hi,

and I'll come right back.

I don't know what'll happen, Bean,

but that's half the fun, right?

Uh-oh.

Phew.

Hello!

Just me and a crab working on my boat

-Excuse me!

-Yeah, yeah, we are gonna fix it

Hi there!

Just working away

Here is where I'll stay

I'll be working all day

Hi! I'm Stella Sneedly.

Oh, you surprised me.

I mean, it was a good surprise.

Not like, "Surprise! I'm I'm a ghost."

Anyhoo, I'm Pearl Puddlesnuff.

It is nice to

Oh, star.

Star?

Star!

Um, surprise!

How did you get here?

Did you go on the Forbidden Beach?

Well

Y-Y-You Uh, don't

Uh, don't you move!

Are you scared of me?

What?

Whoa!

No.

No way. Ha ha.

Okay, yes. I've heard terrible things

about Star-Belly Sneetches.

Really? Like what?

Well, I heard that Star-Bellies

have long claws and sharp fangs.

Hm. Nope. No claws. No fangs!

Okay, I can see I was wrong.

Still, you shouldn't be here.

Go back to the trees.

Please.

It's okay, Bean. We're just talking.

Dudley!

Bean!

Dudley, do not pinch the monkey!

I'm sorry.

Dudley can be a little protective.

I get it. Bean's always protecting me too.

Whoa! Bean! Stop it!

Okay, now we're both

on the Forbidden Beach.

This is bad. Very, very bad.

How about you just take your things and

Whoa.

Did you draw this?

Yeah. Nobody really understands my...

-Kite wings!

-Huh?

They're awesome!

Really? You think so?

Actually, definitely, yeah.

Hm.

Come with me.

Huh?

Hm. How in the world

did you think of this?

Oh, I'm kind of an inventor.

Ideas sort of pop into my head.

But that's all they are. Ideas.

I've never been able to make any.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Pearl! You forgot to mention

that you're a building genius!

What? That's silly.

You're silly.

You're just a strange, silly Sneetch

Sorry. I sing sometimes.

It's a little weird, right?

Nah, I like it.

Huh?

-Whoa!

-Huh?

Just one more turn, and

There! Watch this.

Oh my stars!

I can't believe

you actually built my kite wings!

Wings. No wings.

Wings. No wings. Wings!

Um, Stella, be careful with that.

Now, come on!

Let's take this baby for a test spin.

Yahoozo!

Whoa!

Uh-oh.

Whoa!

Stella?

That was

awesome!

Aw.

Hey, Pearl. I have a question.

Do you like to dance?

I dance every night before bed

You do?

I do

Me too

Do you like to think by

Standing upside down on my head?

You do?

I do

Me too

But can you juggle?

-I could go all night

-Whoa!

Do you love your buddy?

Bean and me? We're super tight.

I'm having so much fun

-Me too. I don't want this to be done

-Me too

I feel like

Something special's begun

-You do?

-I do

Me too

-You do?

-I do

Me too

-You do?

-I do

Oh, I know we're not supposed to

Yeah, I know that's what they say

But I've never felt this close

To a friend until today

I feel like I've been waiting

My whole life

To meet a Sneetch like you

You do?

I do. Do you?

I really do!

Me too

Me too

Me too

Hm?

Huh? Oh, I should probably get back.

Well, goodbye forever.

Oh, I was kind of wondering

if you want to meet back here tomorrow.

Actually, definitely, yeah.

It's just, are you sure

we won't get caught?

Nope. But that's half the fun, right?

Well, I don't know

if I'd call it fun, exactly.

And you're gone.

See you tomorrow!

Well, those two little Sneetches,

they met every day.

After Stella woke up,

she and Bean snuck away.

Stella knew that she shouldn't

set foot on the beach,

but she liked spending time

with this Moon-Belly Sneetch.

And the more that those Sneetches

started to share,

the more that those Sneetches

started to care

about staying apart,

which felt awfully unfair.

Hm?

-Ow!

-Aw.

Ooh.

I can't believe your house

is right over there

and I'm not even allowed to come see it.

My parents would drop an anchor

if I brought you home.

If you want to come to my house,

you've got to have a moon on your belly.

Hm.

I wish we could make a machine

that would put a moon on my belly.

Then I could see everything.

Oh, I better go.

But I'll see you tomorrow, right?

I will see you bright and earl...

And you're gone.

Hm.

Well, the sun came up. What do you know?

The Sneedlys were up and ready to go.

This was a day for Star-Bellied cheer

'cause the Star Celebration

was finally here.

Huh?

Aha! There she is, our shining star.

Dad, the celebration

hasn't even started yet.

Oh. Mm.

Mwah.

But, Stella, we need

to document every moment.

This is the most important day

of your life.

No pressure.

Hm.

Honey, are you ready

for your Sneetch Speech?

Yep, memorized every word.

But now that you mention it,

I was wondering,

why exactly do we think Star-Bellies

are better than Moon-Bellies?

Oh, not this again.

Why would you even ask

something like that?

On today of all days?

Okay, okay. It was just a question.

That's the problem, sweetie.

You don't need to question everything.

You just do what Star-Bellies

have always done, and you'll be fine.

Well, I gotta go.

Oh, we better get going too.

There's supposed to be heavy rain tonight,

so everybody think dry thoughts.

And don't be nervous about your speech,

Stella. We'll be cheering for you.

Make us proud, kiddo.

Aw.

Before the celebration,

which was later that day,

Stella went to meet Pearl

so they could go play.

Hiya, Pearl!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What is that?

Oh, this old thing?

Just a moon-on machine!

You built my sketch?

Actually, definitely, yeah.

You just walk through here

and the machine puts a moon on your belly.

Does it really work?

You gotta go through the machine

to find out.

And you're gone.

Oh, this is bad. Or maybe exciting.

Could be bad. But I'm excited!

I'm a Moon-Belly Sneetch?

I'm a Moon-Belly Sneetch!

I'm a Moon-Belly Sneetch!

Yahoozo!

It really works!

Amazing!

Oh yeah, we did it! Whoo!

Now, come on! Let's go!

You can show me everything.

-Your house, your family.

-Uh

Ooh, your toothbrush.

You wanna come see Moon-Belly Village?

Like now?

Yeah, the Star Celebration

isn't until tonight.

This is my chance

to come see how Moon-Bellies live.

Oh, I don't know.

I kinda just built the machine to see

if I could do it.

I I gotta think about it.

What is there to think about?

We're best friends.

It's not fair that we have to stay apart

just because of what some grumpy

old Sneetches decided a long time ago.

So, what do you say? Are we doing this?

Actually

Definitely, yeah!

We're doing this!

We are doing this!

Yahoozo!

The two girls set off.

They sailed in the breeze.

And Stella was amazed

by the sights on the seas.

-Hello!

-Hello!

Hello!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What just jumped out of the water?

Those are fish!

Feesh!

Great name.

Whoa!

-Check it out, Bean! Floaty-floats!

-Whoa!

Can I drive your floaty-float?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't know how to drive a boat.

Especially this one.

I made it myself.

Please, please, please, please!

You can hold the steering wheel,

but just for a

Woo-hoo!

Now we're talking!

-Yahoozo!

-Whoa!

Whoa!

Uh-oh.

Woo-hoo!

Oh, come on!

Uh, oh, oh!

Whoa!

Stella, you need to slow down!

Whoa!

Sorry, Mrs. Zooligan. My friend's

just never been on a boat before.

A Moon-Belly who's never been on a boat?

Stella, stop!

That was

Terrifying!

Stella, it's very, very important

that no one finds out you're a

Star-Belly Sneetch.

So please just play cool.

Psh, of course I'll play it cool.

Did you see that?

Feesh are so strange!

Stella!

Oops.

Cool. Got it.

Now, come on, come on, come on!

I want to see everything.

I can't believe it's really starting

Look at this, look at this

So much I've been dying to see

I can't keep my eyes from darting

Look at this, look at this

Just keep it cool, follow my lead

Right. Keep it cool, follow your lead.

-No problem.

-Whoa!

Look at this

Look at this, look at this

Hi.

Look at this, look at this

Look at this, look at this

Um, Stella.

Smiling Sneetches greet me

Fish, they love to meet me

There's so much I don't want to miss

Look at, look at this

Look at, look at this

Look at that!

Whoa!

-We've got snorkels!

-Have a seat

-Climb aboard!

-This can't be beat

Can we get two floms, a snizzler,

and a twizzleberry treat?

Ranjit, grab a treat.

That was just the receipt.

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Smiling Sneetches greet me

Fish, they love to meet me

Presenting your snizzler.

Your snizzler.

Your snizzler.

Look at, look at this

Look at, look at this

-Look at, look at this

-My head is spinning around

New sights, new scents, new sounds

I can't believe

This place really exists

Look at, look at this

And this and this and this!

And this and this

Oh my stars! I love it here.

The food's so yummy,

and the water's so watery.

Everything is just so different.

That never gets old.

Now that you've seen everything,

we should get you back home.

But I haven't met your family yet.

Ha! You cannot meet my family.

Especially my brother.

Huh? Why not?

Because we'll get caught, Stella.

And then we'll be in big, big trouble.

Please, Pearl. I just want to say hi,

and then I'll go back home.

I promise.

I don't know.

I'm singing a song just like you

And I'm begging to meet your family

Fine

But we have to keep it quick.

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

As they were rowing,

the best friends were glowing.

The day had been great,

and it was still going.

Now Stella would meet

Pearl's family of Sneetches

before heading back

for her Star-Belly speeches.

-Hello? Anybody home?

-Ooh!

-We're in the kitchen.

-Oh, hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

I, um, wanted you to meet my

my new friend, Stella.

Blub, blub, blub.

Hm.

Oh! So nice to meet you,

Mr. and Mrs. Puddlesnuff.

Ooh! And you must be Polly.

Love your feesh.

You funny.

Hm.

Let me guess. You're Petey.

The name's Detective Pete.

My little Petey Pie thinks

he's a real detective. Don't you, honey?

Mom! I am a real detective.

I notice

everything.

Well, nothing to see here.

You probably have an important case

to get back to. Am I right?

Isn't it a little strange

that we've never seen you before?

We know every Moon-Belly Sneetch.

Right. Well, Stella lives

far, far, so far away.

We wanted to say hi.

Now we're going to go. Bye-bye.

Pearl, honey, you can't just bring

a friend over and then leave.

Stella's staying for dinner.

She is?

She is?

I am?

You are. Moon-Belly Sneetches

take care of each other,

and Stella is a Moon-Belly Sneetch.

Perfect!

I've got a good one.

Why do ducks have feathers?

Uh, I don't know. Why?

To cover their butt quacks.

That's a good one!

Now, kids, there's something

we need to talk about.

There is a storm rolling in tonight,

and it may not be safe

to stay in Moon-Belly Village.

If the waves get too big,

we row to shallow water.

You understand?

Huh.

-Got it.

-Yes, Dad.

Have you ever tried asking the

Star-Bellies if you could stay with them?

Stella!

You know, just until the storm passes.

We don't need any help

from Star-Belly Sneetches.

-They wouldn't help us, even if we asked.

-But...

You can't trust a Star-Belly Sneetch.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Now, who wants dessert?

I made fresh kelp cookies.

-I do!

-I do!

Mm.

I have to say, Stella, it's really nice

to see Pearl with such a good friend.

We're just over the moon that you're here.

"We're just over the moon

that you're here."

Give me a break.

That Sneetch is hiding something,

and I'm gonna find out what it is.

I'll call this

"The Case of the Suspicious Sneetch."

Oh!

Huh?

Hm.

-Oh.

-Hm.

There's gotta be a clue

around here somewhere.

Hm.

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

Huh?

Now, Dudley, I just want to see

what's in the backpack.

Ouchie! Ow! Ow! Ouchie! Hm.

My booty!

I'll get you, you cranky crab!

Hm. Hey! Where'd all the cookies go?

Oh, I'm sorry, Peteykins. We just ran out.

I ate five.

Well, Stella and I

are going on a boat ride.

Okay, but keep an eye

on the weather, girls.

And if the waves get too big

-Row to shallow water. Got it.

-Whoo!

Thank you for dinner,

Mr. and Mrs. Puddlesnuff. It was yummy.

-And I enjoyed chatting with... Whoa!

-Gotta go!

Oh! Well, isn't she a peachy Sneetch?

I'm going on a boat ride too!

Hm. What's bothering him?

I don't know.

Hm.

Hi-yah!

Thanks for everything, Pearl.

This was the best day ever.

Actually, definitely, yeah.

It was pretty great.

And you still

have your Star Celebration.

Wait. Wait. Wait!

Uh, I'm waiting.

-I just had a great idea!

-Whoa!

We should use the machine

to put a star on your belly.

Then you can come

to the celebration tonight!

There'll be food and music and rides.

You'll love it!

The Star Celebration?

Oh, I can't. Can I?

No, I couldn't. Or could I?

Of course you can!

Now, come on, come on, come on!

So the girls rowed toward

their machine on the beach

to make our friend Pearl

a Star-Belly Sneetch.

But Petey was rowing closely behind.

He wanted to see what dirt he could find.

There you go! Good as new.

Well, hello, little star.

It's nice to have you back.

Can you change the machine

to put a star on your belly?

Actually, definitely, yeah.

I hope.

Help me get some of these pieces loose.

The Forbidden Beach?

What are those two up to?

Aha! A Star-Belly Sneetch!

I knew she was hiding something!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!

I've got to tell someone! Whoa!

Whoa!

Ouch.

And this goes here, and...

The celebration is starting!

Are you almost done?

I made the changes, but I need to test it.

Make adjustments, test again.

We don't have time for that!

Now, come on, come on, come on!

Okay, okay. Whoa!

Well, how does it look?

-Oh.

-Bleurgh.

Uh, not great.

Oh no! I forgot to tighten

the fuzz guzzler.

Oh, don't worry. I can fix it.

Uh, no one will notice

your star is a little different.

Everyone will be watching the celebration.

Are you sure?

Nope, but that's half the fun, right?

Now, come on! The parade's about to start.

Pearl entered the forest

and felt very small.

The flowers were huge,

and the trees were so tall.

As she looked all around,

she couldn't help grinning.

And before she knew it,

the parade was beginning.

Oh, I better go get ready.

You stay with Bean

and watch the parade, okay?

-I'll be cheering for you!

-Woo-hoo-hoo! Woo-hoo!

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee-doo-da-da-day

Star Celebration!

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee-doo-da-da-day

Pure jubilation

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee

-Raise your stilts

-And toot with me

Show how proud you are

To be a star

To be a star!

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee-doo-da-da-day

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee-doo-da-da-day

Dum-dum-dum-dum

Dee-dee-dee

Hold your bellies high with me

Show how proud you are to be a star

Show how proud you are

-To be a star!

-To be a star!

-To be a star!

-To be a star!

Hooray!

And now, for my favorite part

of the ceremony,

the Shining Star speeches!

-Go, Stella!

-Woo-hoo!

That's my friend!

Woo-hoo!

We're Star-Belly Sneetches,

and we love our stars.

We're better than Sneetches

with moons upon thars.

Huh?

And that's why we stay away

from Moon-Belly Sneetches,

'cause we're the best Sneetches

to ever roam the beaches.

-Woo-hoo!

-Yes!

Go, Stella!

Stella looked at her friend,

looked her right in the eye,

and Pearl looked as though

she might start to cry.

Your turn, Stella. Go make us proud.

I really want to, Mom,

but I don't know if I can.

Of course you can. Just be yourself.

Be myself.

You can do it, Stella Bella.

Stella knew all the words

she was supposed to say.

But then she recalled

all she'd done that day.

The Moon-Bellies

weren't mean or selfish or rude.

They treated her well

and fed her good food.

As Stella stood there,

her feelings, they grew,

until Stella knew what she needed to do.

Excuse me.

Um, hi, everybody.

There's something I need to say.

And it might sound a little different.

-Oh no.

-Oh yes.

I just wanted to say that...

Aha!

There she is.

Don't worry, Pearl!

We'll save you!

Mom, it's not what you think.

I can, um, explain.

The jig is up.

Give me back my Moon-Belly sister!

sh**ting stars!

-Moon-Belly?

-A star on her belly.

Hm.

It's not a real star. It's a fake!

A fake star?

Attention, everyone.

More Moon-Bellies are coming.

They're on the Forbidden Beach.

Star-Bellies, report to the beach!

Don't let those Moon-Bellies

come any further.

To the beach!

The Case of the Suspicious Sneetch

is closed.

Ow!

Cranky crab.

The rain started pouring

and soaked every Sneetch

as they met face-to-face

right there on the beach.

Oh my.

I think I'll have myself a nice cup of tea

'cause this is as dramatic

as it could possibly be.

Leave it to a Moon-Belly.

Why would you bring a Moon-Belly Sneetch

to your silly celebration?

We didn't bring a Moon-Belly.

Maybe you sent her over as a spy.

We would never.

Just more proof that Star-Belly Sneetches

are the best kind of Sneetches.

Moon-Bellies are the best,

and everybody knows it.

-That's right.

-We're the best.

No, we're the best.

Everybody, stop!

My whole life,

I've heard that Star-Belly Sneetches

are the best kind of Sneetches.

-Yeah!

-Oh yes.

But I don't think a star

makes anyone the best.

And neither does a moon.

Take Pearl, for example.

Pearl isn't the best

because she has a moon on her belly.

Pearl is the best because she's so smart.

And she's a building genius.

Sure, she can be a little kooky,

but there's no one else like her.

And she's my best friend.

And Stella isn't the best

because of her star.

Stella is the best

because she's always thinking about

how things could be different,

about how they could be better.

Stella's amazing.

And she's my best friend too

Aw.

Don't you see? No kind of Sneetch

is the best on the beach.

It's a nice idea, girls,

but it's just not realistic.

Now, come on, Pearl. Let's get you home.

Watch out! Trees are falling!

We're doomed.

The forest is not safe!

-I repeat, the forest is not safe!

-Oh.

Polly!

Moon-Bellies, steer clear of the seas.

The waves are too big!

Aw, come on, Puddlesnuff.

Our boats can handle these waves.

Never mind.

The waves are getting bigger.

Soon this entire beach will be underwater.

Underwater?

We have to go back.

Stella, we've gotta do something!

Hm. Come on. Think, think, think.

Huh?

I've got it!

See? It's a shelter to keep us dry,

but there's also

A balloon to help us float!

It's brilliant.

Think you can build it?

Actually, definitely, yeah.

Let's do this.

Everyone, listen up! Pearl and I have

a plan to keep us safe from the storm,

but it's gonna take

all of us working together.

Work together? I don't know.

Are we really gonna listen to little kids?

Okay, girls, let's hear your plan.

Here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna build a floating shelter,

and we're gonna build it fast.

Star-Bellies,

collect all your decorations.

-Doing it!

-Got it!

Moon-Bellies,

bring your boats onto the sand.

Let's do this.

Put the boats over there

and the sails over there.

One, two, three.

Keep sewing. We need to stitch

all the sails and decorations together.

Looking good. But we need more air

if we want this thing to float.

Haul!

-Whoa!

-That's it. There you go.

Never thought

I could've done this.

Every Sneetch inside.

-Keep it moving.

-Everybody hurry.

Climb aboard.

Great work, everyone.

Whoa! You built a retractable ramp?

-You like it?

-Yeah!

We gotta go. Now.

Okay, Pearl, that's everyone.

I'm closing the roof.

Whoa!

Dad, what's that sound?

Oh, that's the sound of a giant wave

heading right for us!

Oh, brace for impact!

Oh my stars!

-Oh no!

-What's going on?

-What's happening?

-Oh no!

We're going up.

-Yeah!

-We're floating!

All right!

Oh, why are we going backwards?

Good news, our float works.

Bad news, we're floating away.

This is not good.

Oh, we're being dragged out to sea!

-Oh, no, no, no.

-We're drifting away!

-We're going backwards!

-Okay, this is bad. Really, really bad.

The baddest of the bad!

Pearl, if we tie our shelter to that rock,

it'll keep us from floating away.

What are you talking about?

That rock is way too far.

You'd have to fly to reach it.

Fly?

Kite wings!

Stella, are you sure we can do this?

Nope. That's half the fun, right?

Hey, where are the girls?

Here we go!

Pearl! Stella!

We are doing this.

-Woo-hoo!

-Woo-hoo!

This is awesome!

And terrifying. Oh!

It's so awesome!

But I'm terrified.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Come on, come on!

-Come on, come on.

-Come on.

You got this, Stella!

Whoa!

-Woo-hoo-hoo!

-Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

We did it.

They did it!

-They did it.

-Well done!

Hey.

Stella!

Pearl! Pearl! Help!

Everybody pull!

Oh no.

Stella, close your kite wings.

I will catch you.

I can't! I'm too scared!

-Trust me. Press the button.

-Oh!

-Uh

-Now!

Gotcha!

Thanks, Pearl.

That was a close one.

Too close.

Way too close.

Ready to get out of here?

Oh yeah.

-Whoo!

-Wow!

Yahoozo!

-Oh, thank goodness!

-You're alive!

-Thank our lucky stars.

-My baby.

You saved us! Yay!

-Go, Stella!

-Go, Stella! Go, Pearl!

Go, Pearl!

Storm's not over yet,

but we're in this together.

Everyone huddle up.

It's gonna be a long night.

You seem like you know

what I'm talking about.

Hi, Petey.

Um, I just wanted to

Well, I wanted to say

Thanks for making a floating shelter

that saved all of Sneetchkind.

-You're welcome.

-No problem.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

there's a strange smell over there,

and I'm gonna find out

what it is.

Huh?

Whoa!

-Look, everyone.

-Huh?

-The moon looks beautiful.

-So do the stars.

-The storm has passed.

-All right!

-We did it!

-Sneetch-tastic!

See what we mean?

No kind of Sneetch is the best.

If the moon and stars can share the skies,

maybe us Sneetches can share the beaches.

-Mm.

-Mm-hmm.

Well, a year went by,

and I'm happy to say

the Sneetches got

quite a bit smarter that day.

That day, they decided that

Sneetches are Sneetches.

And no kind of Sneetch

is the best on the beaches.

Aw.

-Yeah!

-Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Well done, girls.

-Oh, my little Peteykins. Mwah, mwah!

-Mom!

A Moon and Star Celebration.

You girls made

a brand-new Sneetch tradition.

I'm just so proud.

Me too.

We're not scared

To think big and bold and new

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

Take a look

From someone else's point of view

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

Something wonderful too

When tradition gets it wrong

Let your heart rewrite the song

Turns out something different

Can be wonderful too

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Look at this, look at this

-Smiling Sneetches greet me

Fish, they love to meet me

Presenting your snizzler.

-Your snizzler.

-Your snizzler.

Look at, look at this

Look at, look at this

-Look at, look at this

-My head is spinning around

New sights, new scents, new sounds

I can't believe

This place really exists

Look at, look at this

And this and this and this!

And this and this

Something different can be

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

Something wonderful too

Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

Something wonderful too

When tradition gets it wrong

Let your heart rewrite the song

Turns out something different

Can be wonderful too
