You fooled me.

Now it's my turn to fool mother bear and father bear.

What are you going to do?

I'm thinking.

Hmm.

Interesting.

Hmm?

[ All laughing ]

All: well, good luck, little bear.

Good morning, father bear.

[ Chuckling ]

Good morning, little bear.

I lost my head.

Well, I haven't seen it in here.

But if I find it,

I'll let you know.

[ Water pouring ]

Good morning, mother bear.

Morning.

Don't you notice anything different about me?

Well... You do look different.

Are you taller? Thinner?

I lost my head.

Goodness!

Well, it doesn't seem to be in here.

Maybe it's in your room.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckling ]

Did you fool mother bear and father bear?

No.

Mother bear: little bear, time for breakfast.

But I'm going to.

I see you found you head.

Uh-hm.

[ Chuckling ]

I made oatmeal for breakfast.

Mother bear, I don't really want oatmeal this morning.

Really?

What would you rather have instead?

I'd like spinach ice cream.

Ah.

With lots of prunes.

Mmm.

And prickly-pinecone sprinkles.

Coming right up.

Spinach ice cream with lots of prunes

And prickly-pinecone sprinkles.

Well, you go get the pinecones, and I'll get the spinach.

Wait!

I changed my mind.

I'd rather have oatmeal instead.

Oh, all right, little bear.

[Chuckles]

[Moans]: oh...

Any april fool's yet?

No.

But this is going to fool them.

Oh.

[ Giggling ]

Well, hello, mr. Spider.

Are you a dancing spider?

I've never met a dancing spider before.

What? Me dance?

Well, if you insist.

[ Humming ]

Would you like to join our dance?

No, thank you.

Well, father bear and I

Going to play croquet in the yard.

Would you like to join us?

No, thank you.

All right then.

Hmm.

Well, did you fool mother bear and father bear yet?

Not yet.

But this time it's going to work.

This time I'm gonna fool them for sure.

Mother bear, father bear, there's a monster in the yard!

Well, ask him if he wants to play croquet.

[ Growls ]

Hello, little monster.

Would you like to play croquet?

[ Growls ]

I think the little monster wants to play another game.

[ Roars ]

How about tag?

You're it!

[ Growls ]

I don't want to play tag!

There you are, little bear.

What a day.

A dancing spider, a monster in our yard,

I'm ready for a nap.

I could use a nap myself.

Come on, little bear, let's all take a nap.

No! I won't do it!

I won't take a nap!

I won't take a nap today or tomorrow or ever again!

Oh! What?

April fools!

[ Laughing ]

[ Chuckling ]

You're getting so big.

And we thought we were fooling you.

You did.

But then I fooled you too.

Sure did.

[ Yawns ]

April fools day is hard work.

All: [ yawns ]

It is.

After my nap, can I have a snack?

Of course.

Spinach ice cream with lots of prunes

And pinecone sprinkles.

Prickly-pinecone sprinkles.

[All laughing]

[ Chirping]

[Little bear humming...]

Hmm.

Hmm.

Ssh.

We're taking a nap, little bear.

Oh, sorry, mother robin.

[ Chirping ]

[ Laughing ]

Whoo-hoo.

Okay, are you ready?

[Clears throat]

Knock, knock.

[Laughs]

Someone's at the door.

You get it.

[Laughs]

I told you

When I say "knock, knock," you say, "who's there?"

Who's there?

Good.

Now, knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Now, you say, "banana who?"

Banana who?

[Sighs]

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

All: orange who?

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

[Giggling]

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Little.

Little who?

[Pops]

Whoo-ooh!

All: little bear, that's who.

Hello, little bear.

What have you got in your mouth, little bear?

[Chewing loudly]

Bubble gum.

You're chewing bubbles?

Bubble gum isn't for chewing bubbles,

It's for blowing bubbles.

Can I try?

Me, too.

I want to try.

Both: yes. Yes, let's try.

Thank you.

All [garbled]: now what?

Now, chew.

[Inhales deeply]

How do you blow bubbles, little bear?

All: yes, how?

It's easy.

You just put your lips together

And blow.

Now what

Woo!

[Groans]

[All laughing]

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Chew.

Chew who?

Achoo!

[ All laughing ]

Woo!

Sorry, owl.

[Dryly]: ha-ha.

Let's try again.

[Spitting]

Look, look.

[All gasp]

Wow! How did you do that?

You balloon heads.

Let me show you the art of blowing perfect bubbles.

It's all in the technique.

[Inhales deeply]

Little bear: very good, owl.

[Sighs]

Mine was bigger.

[ Inhales deeply ]

See?

All: wow!

That's one big bubble.

Can I pop it?

All: no, let me, let me.

Uh-oh.

[Yelping]

[Laughing]

No! No!

[Giggling]

Let's get him.

He's mine, he's mine.

[All laughing]

Hmm.

[Hoots]

[Laughing]

Let's get him.

He's mine.

[All grunt]

[Laughing]

[Hooting]

[Hooting frantically]

[Laughing]

No! No! I got him.

Stop!

No, no, no. Otters, no.

[Grunting]

Keep those wings flapping now.

That's right.

[ Gasps ]

[ Mumbles ]

No! No!

[ Gasps ]

[ Giggling ]

Above you, owl.

No!

Ah-ah-ah.

We want to fly straight ahead,

Not up, not down.

And we don't need pink bubbles to help us fly.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Owl, wo-ho!

Owl, over here.

We'll help you get down.

Little bear, help!

Breath the bubble back in!

[ Inhales rapidly ]

What do I do now?

Breath out, owl.

But, but first get rid of...

[Pops]

...your gum.

[Otters laughing]

[Hoots softly]

[Laughing]

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Balloon head.

Balloon head who?

All: balloon head owl!

[Laughing ]

That was a good one, owl.

I can do that.

So can i. That's easy.

[Chewing loudly]

Oops.

Excuse me, beetle.

Here, mother bear.

This is for you.

Thank you, little bear.

Little bear: it's starting to rain.

Yes, it is.

We'd better get home.

[Giggling]

Oh my, I've lost a button.

You did?

I wonder where I could have lost it.

I'll find your button, mother bear.

It could've fallen anywhere.

And it's so small.

It will very hard to see.

Hmm...

Not with this.

Oof!

Wah! Hey!oops.

Hello, duck.

Sorry.

Hello, little bear.

What are you doing?

Looking for mother bear's button.

Mother bear keeps her buttons outside?

No, duck. She lost it.

What is that you're looking through?

A magnifying glass.

See? Everything is bigger when you look through it.

Oh, that's much bigger.

Smaller... And bigger.

[Both laughing]

You can help me look for the button if you want.

Okay.

Now, let's see.

Mother bear and I walked right along here.

Hmm.

This is where I picked a flower for mother bear.

But these mushrooms are bigger than I remember.

Mushrooms grow fast when it rains.

Maybe that's why they look like small umbrellas.

Or big umbrellas if you use this.

Wow!

Hello, snail.

Don't worry, snail.

We're only looking for mother bear's button.

Have you seen it anywhere?

Oh, it's starting to rain again.

What does the button look like, little bear?

It's round and red and about...

...this big.

Oh. That's a big button.

Yes, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

What's that?

That's mother bear's button!

Look, little bear, it's a beetle.

And he's found mother bear's button.

We have to get it from him.

I don't know.

That's an awfully big beetle.

Excuse me, beetle.

But that's mother bear's button.

I don't think he wants to give it to you.

What are we going to do?

Hmm.

I've got an idea.

What?

I'm going to tickle the beetle.

Coochie-coochie-coo!

Oh, no!

[Gasps ]

Come on, duck, hurry!

Both: whoa!

[ Screaming ]

[ Both grunting ]

Hello, bumble bee.

We're looking for a button.

You can't miss it.

It's about this big.

I don't think he's seen it.

There it is!

Little bear: oh no!

He dropped it!

Quack!

[Thunderclap]

Huh?

Oh, no!

He thinks it's an umbrella.

Hmm? You might be right, duck.

Excuse me, beetle.

If you want an umbrella, you could use a mushroom.

Here, we'll show you.

Mushrooms make very good umbrellas.

There, beetle.

How do you like it?

He likes it.

I think so, too.

Could I please have mother bear's button back now?

Thank you, beetle.

Wow.

That is a big button.

Little bear: mother bear!

Look, mother bear, we found your button.

Thank you, little bear.

Thank you, duck.

Where was it?

Down the road, by the flowers and the mushrooms.

The mushrooms?

Mushrooms make very good umbrellas.

That's why they grow so fast in the rain.

[Thunderclap]

Well, come inside where it's nice and dry.

I think you two deserve a hot chocolate.
