[Doorbell rings]

Hello, henry.

Oswald, I am trying to take a nap.

What's wrong with that piano of yours?

I don't think it's feeling well. What?

It's not feeling well!

Well, you don't have to shout.

[Note playing off-key]

See?

I'd better take it to the piano doctor.

Maestro bingo bunny will fix it up good as new.

Not a bad idea.

I'll help you push it there.

[Both groaning]

This is pretty hard to push.

Oh, I know.

I know they're in here somewhere.

Ah, this should do it.

Ah.

One under here, one under here...

One under here...

And one under there.

Now we can roll it out the door.

Good thinking, pal.

Whoops.

Oh, now I really need a nap.

That's okay, henry.

I can take it from here.

Well, good luck, buddy boy.

I hope your piano feels better.

Thanks, henry.

I sure hope it does too.

Okay, weenie girl.

Let's get my poor piano to the piano doctor.

Ruff, ruff

Don't worry, piano.

You'll feel better soon; I promise.

[Catrina crying]

Hi. Ruff, ruff

What's going on here?

[Crying]

(Madame butterfly) I've tried

To get catrina's balloon down, but I

Can't seem to untangle it.

Oh, I know, madame butterfly.

Why don't I use my piano to stand on?

I could untangle it.

Oh, that's a wonderful idea, oswald.

[Catrina giggling]

Now, just a little twisting and turning.

And...

[Gurgling]

Hooray!

Here you go, catrina.

Thank you ever so much, oswald.

Good thing you had that piano of yours.

Yes, but I'm afraid it's not feeling well.

Listen.

[Note plays off-key]

We're taking it to the piano doctor.

Well, good luck.

[Gurgles]

Thanks.

Ruff, ruff

Bye, now. Good-bye.

(Oswald) hi, steve tree.

Hi, oswald. Hi, weenie.

Ruff, ruff

Ooh, nice wood.

Taking your piano for a walk?

Very thoughtful.

No, my piano isn't feeling well.

Listen.

[Note playing off-key]

Oh ho.

We're taking it to the piano doctor.

[Horn honks]

Wow.

This is a really busy street.

I know.

It's really dangerous for these poor ducks.

I know.

They can ride on my piano.

Don't worry, momma duck.

We'll get you and your family

Safely across the street.

Quack, quack quack

Quack quack, quack

Stop, please. Excuse me.

We'd like to cross.

Just for a minute,

Could you just stop, please?

I know.

[Note playing off-key]

[Tires screeching]

Thank you.

This will just take a moment.

(Steve) make way.

Sick piano coming through.

Baby ducks and sick piano coming through.

(Oswald) thank you.

Sorry to bother you.

You're all very kind.

Thanks for waiting.

[Scale plays]

[Octave plays]

You're welcome.

Good thing you had that piano of yours.

I know, but I still

Have to get it to the piano doctor.

Well, good luck, oswald.

Feel better, piano.

Don't worry; we're almost there.

Ruff, ruff

Ruff, ruff hey.

There goes daisy.

[Oswald gasps]

Daisy's going to crash right into that jelly cake.

Look out, daisy!

Wait.

[Note playing off-key]

Yeow.

What's that noise?

Whoa.

Watch out. Hold on.

Sorry about that!

Thanks a bunch, oswald.

Good thing you had that piano of yours.

I know, but my piano isn't feeling well.

Listen.

[Note plays off-key]

That's one clinking clunker.

We're taking it to the piano doctor.

Well, good luck, pal of mine-o.

Ah, we made it, weenie.

Hi, maestro bingo.

Good day, oswald, weenie.

Ruff

My, what a fine-looking piano.

Thank you.

But I'm afraid it's not feeling well, maestro.

I'm very worried.

Well, what seems to be the problem?

[Note plays off-key]

Oh, ouch.

Heavens.

Not to worry, oswald.

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Let's have a listen, shall we?

Hmm.

Ah-ha.

Uh-oh.

Mm.

Sounds like something may be loose.

I know just the remedy.

[Rattling]

Now try it.

[Note plays off-key]

Hmm, that's not it.

[Rattling]

Creak!

Aru?

Ruff, ruff

What is it, weenie girl?

Maestro, I think weenie's found something.

(Bingo) now, oswald.

Who's the piano doctor here?

Ah-ha.

Maybe she has a bad cold.

I know just the thing for a chill.

Try it now.

[Note plays off-key]

Hmm, this is a tricky one.

Creak!

Ruff, ruff!

Um, maestro?

I really think weenie's found something.

(Bingo) oswald, please.

I need complete...

[Whispers] silence.

Hmm, she feels a little stiff.

A gentle massage should work out the knots.

Relax. Relax.

Release the tension.

All right.

Try it now.

[Note plays off-key] oh.

Oswald, I'm afraid i, the great maestro bingo bunny,

Cannot fix your piano.

Oh, no, my poor, poor piano.

Ruff, ruff!

Ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff!

Maestro bingo, I have an idea.

Maybe you should look inside the piano.

Look inside? Look inside?

Say, that's a good idea.

I never thought of that.

Creak!

(Oswald) look, it's a ladybug.

She must have been in there the whole time.

[Laughs]

Just as I suspected.

The ladybug was causing the problem.

[Note plays beautifully]

Oh, it's feeling much better.

Thanks, maestro bingo.

Just doing my job.

There you go, little lady.

[Wings fluttering]

Chime!

[Cheerful music plays]

[Horn honking]

[Bird chirping]

Chirp, chirp

[Sighs]

Hi, henry. Ruff

[Sighs]

Henry, what's the matter?

Oh, oswald, all the other birds can fly,

But not me.

The sky is calling me, and I can't go.

That's okay, henry.

I can't fly either. Neither can weenie.

Right, girl?

Ruff, ruff

See? Flying isn't all that important.

It is to me.

Every bird needs

To feel the air beneath his wings

At least once.

[Sadly] oh.

Gee, weenie.

Henry really seems to be sad

That he can't fly.

Ruff, ruff

I wish there was some way we could help him.

[Sighs]

Hi, egbert, hi, leo.

Hello, oswald.

Yes.

Ooh.

Howdy, henry.

[Sadly] oh.

Hey, oswald, what's wrong with henry?

He's sad because all the other birds can fly,

And he can't.

Hmm. That's what he thinks.

Hey, henry.

I'll bet you

You can fly.

After all, you have wings.

Boy, if I had wings, I'd go zoom,

Zoom, zoomarooskie.

Diving

And gliding

And swooping

And sliding.

Whoosh!

I'm getting dizzy.

You'll get used to it when you're the king of the sky.

Hmm, maybe I can fly.

Sure.

At least give it a try.

All right, I will.

Give me some room here.

Am I flying?

No.

No?

Oh.

But that's okay, henry.

You don't have to fly.

There are so many other things you're good at.

Like what?

Well...

You're a great spoon collector.

I do know a good spoon when I see one.

But I still want to fly.

Maybe you're not flapping your wings the right way.

Hey, let's get madame butterfly to teach you.

She's a fabulous flyer.

Here we go.

Hold on.

Whee!

Hi, madame butterfly.

Hi, catrina.

Hello, everyone.

Hi, hi, hi!

Madame butterfly, henry wants to fly,

But he's not sure how to use his wings.

Could you help him?

Why, I'd be happy to.

Oswald, can you hold catrina?

Sure.

Hi, hi, hi!

All right, henry.

Let's see you flap your wings.

[Clears throat]

[Laughs] well, that's not quite right, henry.

Watch me.

Ah, you see?

Nice and easy.

Nice and easy.

And that's all there is to it.

Hmm.

Nice and easy, eh?

Thanks, madame butterfly.

[Giggles]

Nice and easy.

I think I got it.

Why are you standing on a sandbox, henry?

I want to have a nice, easy landing.

Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

Nice and easy.

Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

Am I flying?

No. No?

You can't just stand there, henry.

You need a running start

If you want to take off.

A running start, eh?

Am I flying?

No.

No?

[Sighs]

But you don't have to fly, henry.

There are so many other things you're good at.

Like what?

Well, you make great fish pancakes.

Mmm, fish pancakes.

But I still want to fly.

I have another idea.

Come on.

Wait right here.

Here; this should give you the right spin.

Now fly!

Am I flying?

No.

No?

[Groans]

I know.

You need more speed, henry.

Come on.

This will definitely work.

Take a seat, henry.

I'm not sure I want to fly this much.

Whoaaaaaaa!

Am I flying?

No.

Oh.

Whoa.

Crash!

I don't think this is working.

That's okay, henry.

You don't have to fly.

There are so many other things you're good at.

Like what?

Well, you're a great polka dancer.

That's true.

Wiggle your tail, flap your wing,

And you...

[Sighs]

But I still want to fly.

I have one more idea.

Come on.

My, that is quite a bubble, brother.

Yes, yes.

Johnny, can we borrow your kite?

Why, sure, daisy.

There you go.

Hold up the kite, henry.

Now all we need is a little wind.

Or...

We could make our own.

Come on, oswald.

Am I flying?

No.no.no.

Oh.

I knew I couldn't fly.

I just knew it.

[Sad cello music]

Careful, now. Careful.

Splendidly bubbled, brother.

Oh.

That's okay, henry.

You don't have to fly.

There are so many other things you're good at.

Don't forget you have a great spoon collection,

And you make great fish pancakes,

And you're a great polka dancer.

Ruff, ruff

Chirp, chirp

I guess I'll never fly.

Look.

Golly tamale.

Ruff?

[Chirping]

Oh, my gosh.

You're flying, henry.

You're flying!

Hmm.

Oh, my.

♪ You're flying.

♪ You're flying without even trying. ♪

♪ You're gliding.

♪ You're riding

♪ Way up in the air.

♪ You're floating up high.

♪ You're king of the sky.

♪ You're flying,

♪ Flying without a care. ♪

Hmm, this is rather pleasant.

Yo-ho! Look out below!

Ooh, will you look at that?

I didn't know you could fly, henry.

Neither did i.

Nice and easy, henry.

[Catrina giggling]

Flyin' high, henry.

Pop!

[Applause]

You did it, henry.

You were flying.

Did you see me up there?

Gosh, henry, what was it like?

Oh, oswald, it was wonderful.

It was magical.

It's something I'll never forget the rest of my life.

[Clock chimes]

:

Time for lunch.

So long, fellas.
