Fun song, kid.

- I'll take some cauliflower!
- Me two!

Me three! How much
do we owe, ya?

The smile on your face is all
the payment I need.

Uh, no! No, we take money!

Tilly, honey,

Remember, you're singing
jingles to sell things!

Oh, right! I keep forgetting

because jingles are so much fun,

and they make people smile!

Just don't forget
about the commerce.

That girl sure can make
a mean ear worm.

♪ Crunchy and orange
And sweet! ♪

♪ Carrots! ♪

[crowd applauds]

Now that's what I call a jingle!

Hello, young lady!

I'm Bonny Spark.

How would you like to use
your talents to sell products

at Big Jiggle!

♪ Big Jingle! ♪

Tilly, this is our ticket
to the high life!

You gotta say yes!

Oh, I don't care about all that.

I just like making
people smile for fun.

That's exactly what I want
you to do with me!

On your own,
you can make this

little Farmers' Market smile,

but if you work with me,

you can make
the whole WORLD smile!

We love your jingles, Tilly!
They make us so happy!

Okay, Miss Bonnie, I'm in!

Fan-tastic! Let's just have
a legally binding handshake

and then we're all set!

And I also accept!

As Tilly's talent agent!

What's going on?
Should I stop this?

Your kids are makin' moves,
Billy Boy.

All right, friends!

Welcome...

...to Big Jingle!

- [Tilly] It's magnificent.
- [Cricket] Wow!

We only employ
the top jingle talent.

If you do well enough, you may
become the next Rick Razzle!

You might not have heard
his name,

but you've definitely heard
his jingles.

BigTech, Overhalls,
Donkey Gum.

He even penned the
Kludge Truck classic:

♪ Forged of steel,
A workhorse on wheels... ♪

♪ Kludge don't budge! ♪

Wow.

Think of all the joy
that one jingle

brought to the world...

Follow me!
I'll take you to your office.

Now, we're talkin'!

Jinglin' sounds like
the best job ever!

[piano plays]
Augh!

[bangs keys] Jingling
is the worst job ever!

[sobbing]

What?
You call this an office?

No bean bag chairs?
No chocolate fountain?

Where are all the perks?!

Never mind that, brother,

who are these fine folks?

This is our
in-house test audience.

We assign them
to all new jingle writers

to measure their success.

You'll know your jingle's good
if it makes us smile.

Consider us a blank slate.

And what a beautiful
blank slate you are.

- I hope I'm up to the task.
- Not so fast!

Girlfriend,
if you want the goods,

you gotta give the goods,
ya dig?

- Whaa--
- Here's a list

my client requires.
And don't you dare skimp

on the cotton candy.

Tilly, your first assignment is
to help out one

of our struggling clients:

A clothing company
called Odd Apparel.

It's strange stuff, so your
jingle's gotta be good.

Why do these shoes have fingers?

Heck if I know. But it's your
job to sing about them!

I'll leave ya to it!

Hmmm... hand walkers... hand
walkers... Aha!

♪ Ha-and Walkers,
Ha-and Walkers... ♪

♪ Freedom from your feet
And your everyday view... ♪

Hm.
Now we're cookin'.

♪ Winter style

Hmm...

Sneaky snacker! ♪

No one needs to know!

[laughs]

Oh, wow! Yeah!

Now that's makin' me smile.

Now, everybody!

♪ Wear it
Just above your toes ♪

♪ When you're on the road ♪

- ♪ Sneaky Snacker. ♪
- Huh?

♪ Is the way to go! ♪

My office.
Now!

Howdy!

Hey, can I interest you
in some local organic--

And they're gone.

Business sure has slowed down
since Tilly left

Why don't you try singin'
about veggies like she did?

Oh, great idea, Ma!

How does Tilly do it?

Uh...

♪ This is cabbage ♪

Um...

♪ It is... a cabbage ♪

Ugh, that was painful.

All right, try again.

I'll provide the accompaniment.

♪ Bee-boop bop bop
Ba deet deet-- ♪

♪ I like cabbage ♪

♪ You like... cabbage ♪

[singing]

Walk faster.

[singing]

Hey, we got some engagement!

It's working!

This way, kid.

Your agent can sit over there.

Woo-hoo! Corner seat!

I'll be over here
if you need me!

I hope I haven't done anything
to offend you, Mr. Razzle...

I am offended.

Offended...
how good you are!

Oh! That's the opposite
of where I thought
that was going.

You see,
I got into this gig

because singing made me...
♪ Happy! ♪

[holds note]

Especially the long notes.

Because jingles are so short,
they never have long notes.

Which is why
I'm passing the torch

- and letting you take my place.
- [Tilly] [gasps] Wha--

I hereby

bequeath to you my jingle jacket

and prescription fun glasses!

Mr. Razzle, I'm honored--

And I promise
to uphold your legacy

and spread smiles
across the land!

Well, you're off
to a great start.

Look at me smile!

I can't remember

the last time
I felt this happy!

I'm free-ee-ee-ee-ee!

I can't believe it!
I started from the farm stand

and now I'm here!

Everyone's waiting
to see what I make next!

Heh heh.
That's a... lotta pressure.

Congratulations, Tilly!

Now that you're the top jingler,

you get all the top perks!

Free stuff!

Now, with Rick gone,

I need you
to step up and take

one of our
most important clients:

Mama Roni's pizza!

The Mama Roni's?

Your pitch is at four o'clock.

And if they like it,

your jingle will be heard
around the world.

Heard around the world?!

How 'bout we celebrate
your success with

a little cotton candy?

Ah! Uh! No!

Tilly, you gotta get in here!
It's a whole other world.

I don't have time
for tomfoolery, brother.

I'm top jingler now. So, folks
are expecting top jingles...

And I've only got a couple
hours to make something...

everyone in the world will love.

Ooh, I liked that one!
Super catchy!

It's trash!
Derivative rhyme scheme,

an amateur vocal arrangement!

Ugh! Back to the drawing board!

I need some pizza inspiration!

As your manager,
I get fifteen percent

of that pizza!

Whoa, whoa, hold on!
How do you stop this thing--

Ah!

Brother, please.
I must focus.

All right, pizza.

Show me

how to honor you!

[swallows pizza]

[smacks lips]

Oh, oh!
Something's coming to me!

[burps]

Not really into
that jingle so much.

No! Come on, Tilly!
Where's the pepper?!

Hey, I think you're being
a little hard on yourself.

You're doing a good job!

I'm the top jingler now!

I won't accept work
that's just good anymore,

I need to be great!

And Mama Roni's pitch
is in an hour!

Correction!

You've only got
56 minutes left.

So, chop chop!
Let's go!

[piano keys slam]

I'm worried about you, Tilly...

you've changed since your early
days at the farm stand

this morning.

You seem miserable!

I am miserable, brother...

A miserable failure!

Ah, I need some air!

Tilly, wait!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[Cricket crashes]

- [Cricket moans]
- Eh, needs some work...

[sighs] Just look
at yourself, Tilly.

You've got the chance to make
the whole world smile...

And you can't even
make yourself smile.

Yo, yo, yooo!

It's showtime, folks!

I've never seen Papa and Gramma
come up with jingles before.

They don't even seem to care
if they sell anything or not.

They're just... having fun.

[optimistic music]

Hmm, I think I know what to do!

Four o'clock and all is well!

Four o'clock? Oh, no!
The Mama Roni's pitch!

♪ Yeah, I know you want a carrot

I told you
the people would like my-

Phat beets!

Uh, apologies for the delay.

She'll be here any moment now.

- [loud banging]
- Sorry.

I'm here!

Oh! Our top jingler
has arrived!

Where have you been?

Well, Bonnie, I guess
you could say I went on

a jingle journey
of the soul.

[clears throat] Ahem!

Well, without further ado, uh,
Tilly will now present

the best Mama Roni's jingle
you've ever heard!

Thank you, Bonnie.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

when I first began my career
as a jingle writer

six hours ago,
I had a simple goal.

To have fun
and make people smile

with my catchy little tunes.

Get to the jingle.

But as I rose
to the top of this company,

jinglin' lost its fun.

I put so much pressure
on myself

to make everyone else happy,

that I forgot I needed
to make myself happy.

So true!
[munches]

So, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna go back
to what makes me smile.

Singing ditties
about vegetables!

[slow clap]

Eh? Anyone wanna slow clap?

No? Okay.

Thank you for the opportunity.
I won't be needin'

this stuff anymore,
because I quit.

And I quit too!

But I actually will be

needing this stuff.

Thanks for the goods,
girlfriend!

Wait! What about
your new Mama Roni's jingle?

Oh, uh, how about uh...

♪ Mama Roni's
Cheesy pizza goodness? ♪

- That's the one.
- Best jingle ever.

I still got it.

Oooh, now they clap!

Hey, Tilly? Good on you
for taking care of yourself.

- How do you feel?
- Well, brother,

I think this smile
speaks for itself.
