I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.

Tally-ho!

I spy something-- hmm, let's see--

what you'll never find--

A-ha, I got it! I spy something yellow!

Oh, you mean that dandelion over there?

Tall one, third from the left?

Squeeks! How'd you get that?

I don't know! It's just how I do it!

Oh! My turn for Nature I-Spy! My turn!

I spy something...

something green!

That bush!

Nope! Those leaves!

Nope, nope.

The green chair?

Nope, nope, nope!

That flower? That tree?

That toy?

Nope, nope, nope, nope and nope!

What do you spy that's green, Hal?

This teeny, tiny blade of grass right--

umm, where is it again? Oh, this one right here!

Hal!

Jumping gerbils, I just spied something pink!

"Pink"? Not in Nature I-Spy, Squeeks!

What's pink in nature around here?

That!

DAISY: Whoa! I see it!

HAL: Me too too also!

It just moved! What is it?

Only one way to find out.

(WHISPERING): Tally slow.

Just follow me.

And let a brave adventurer solve this pink myster--

Hiya!

(Screaming)

Whoa, Hi there!

Hey! We're looking for something pink.

Have you see anything pink?

Hal, this is the pink thing, a big, pink bird!

Oh, right, got it, pink bird, yep.

She's pink, Nature Cat. Hey, where's Nature Cat?

Just, uhh, up here,

getting a bird's-eye view of this pink bird. Yes.

Anyway, hello, pink bird.

I'm Nature Cat, And this is Daisy, Squeeks and Hal!

I'm a flamingo. The name's Lola.

Hey, I've never seen a flamingo around here before.

Yeah, I'm not from around here. And I'm not supposed to be here.

What happened?

Oh, you're not going to believe this.

My fellow flamingos and I were flying to our new home

when a storm just came out of nowhere and blew us off course.

The storm confused me. And I was separated from my flock.

And I guess I lost my way.

I landed here, wherever here is.

I've been looking for my flamingo friends.

But I just can't find them.

Man, oh, man, that's so sad!

It's one of the saddest things I've ever heard

in my whole life.

Me too.

Me too too also!

You'll have to excuse them.

They get a little emotional.

(Nose blowing)

NATURE CAT: Thank you, Daisy.

So, what are you going to do now, Lola?

What do I do now? I just got to find our new home.

Sweet! Where?

That's the problem.

I forgot where we were going!

So, you don't know where you're friends are

or where your new home is?

No, I don't!

Okay, that's the saddest thing

I've ever heard in my whole life.

Me too!

Me too too also also too too!

Guys! Hey, guys, guys! Okay, pull it together.

(Whistling)

Okay, we can solve this problem.

We can make lemonade out of lemons.

we can turn these frowns upside down!

We can--

uhh, I've run out of inspirational sayings.

Anyway, what do you say we help Lola out?

Yeah!

Count the mouse in! Yes, yes!

Not to worry, Lola. We're here to help!

And I hereby proclaim

that we will find your flock and your new home!

Really? That's awesome. How are we going to do it?

I-- I'm not really sure.

I guess I was kind of riffing

off of Daisy's inspirational speech there.

Uhh, any ideas?

Hey, we know a few places where some birds live.

We could show you those.

Yeah, maybe flamingos live at one of those places.

You really think so?

Only one way to find out.

Onward and let's find Lola's new homeward!

(Chirping)

How about this birdhouse?

Oh, too small. I won't fit in there.

How about this hole?

Oh, no, no, no. We don't live in trees.

(Grunting)

NATURE CAT: A nest?

I'm so sorry. But we flamingos are very picky.

We only live with other flamingos.

Hey, guys, I just found a whole flock of flamingos!

Follow me!

Ta-dee!

Uhh, Hal, umm, these aren't real.

Never mind!

Do you think this is where your friends were going, Lola?

No, I don't think so.

Oh, man, yeah, I could live here,

lots of tall grass, seeds to eat.

Me too. I could take a nice, cozy nap right there!

LOLA: Yeah, that might work for you.

But we like a more open space

where nothing can sneak up on us while we sleep.

We wouldn't live here.

Hmm, "wide open space".

How about here, Lola?

You can't get more wide open space than this!

Yep, and it's still very charming with great views!

Whoa, baby! I could certainly live here.

Yeah, me too! Whoa!

What do you say, Lola?

No, uhh, this isn't right either.

It's too cold out here.

I don't think I'll ever find my new home and see my flock again.

(Sobbing)

Sure you will, Lola! We're not giving up!

Lola, babe, don't take this the wrong way.

But, man, you've got a big beak!

Yeah, I just have one question.

Is that a cr*cker beak or a tweezer beak?

Huh? This thing? No, neither.

It's a filter beak. I dip my beak into water.

And it filters out the food I like to eat.

Whoa, ho, ho, "Filter beak"? So, you live near water, huh?

Yeah, I should. And I think I do!

Your long legs remind me of our heron friend, Flo!

Hey, maybe your home is near water too.

A-ha! That's it, Hal!

You're a genius!

Onward to Flo-ward!

Hey, this genius thing is a good thing, right? I'm confused.

Our friend Flo lives here, Lola.

Do you think you can live here too? Lots of water!

Yup, and it's really, really wet here too,

on account of the water.

Wink, wink.

Hmm. Maybe this is where our new home is!

Wow, the filter beak in action, gorgeous, gorgeous.

(Coughing)

This is not going to be our new home.

But why, Lola?

The water just doesn't taste right.

It needs more salt.

Salty water?

Yeah, the type of food I like, it lives in salty water,

you know ,like tiny shrimp and algae.

Oh, "Tiny shrimp".

I guess I could eat that if there was nothing else.

Uh-uh. I couldn't.

Eating those things give me my pink color.

That's a little weird, but cool.

Hmm, Lola doesn't live here.

So, let's go over the facts and figure out where she lives.

Good idea, Nature Cat.

Okay, fact one, Lola's got long legs.

So, she's probably a wading bird.

That means she likes shallow water where she can feed.

Fact Two, she has a filter beak,

which means she lives in a place with little things for food

like tiny shrimp and algae.

Fact Three, and the place has to be open

so her predators can't sneak up on her and her flock.

Oh, and fact four, they like it to be warm too too also!

Hmm. Where is this place?

Where could it be? Where, I ask!

Where could it be? Where?

I'm sorry. I was just trying to build the drama a little bit.

You can carry on.

Hey, I just saw something pink.

Where?

Over there! Follow me!

Onward and pink-ward !

I saw the pink this--

(Grunting)

You okay, Nature Cat?

(Grunting)

Water, why'd it have to be water?

(Grunting)

Good news, Lola: The water's salty!

Maybe it's filled with tiny shrimp and algae.

It is! I saw so many tiny shrimp and algae under there!

Okay, so the water's salty and has food.

But look at this place!

It's in the middle of nowhere

with nothing and nobody around it.

I couldn't live here.

Yeah, neither could I.

But I can. I was born to live here!

Hmm.

Mmm, mmm! This is the place!

This is where we were headed to, our new home!

Looks like what we have here

is a special place for a special bird.

Hey, where are the rest of my flamingo friends?

They should've been here by now!

But we saw pink around here.

Oh, I could of sworn I saw something.

Oh, my gosh! Look at that!

I was right, lots of pink!

Flamingos!

Oh, my friends!

It's Pearl and Martha and Rick!

Lola, you made it!

Yeah, we were so worried about you!

Rick, you're such a worrier. I made it!

My new friends helped me!

Hi! Hi!

So cute! And they aren't pink!

I guess they need to eat more shrimp.

Yup, it takes time to turn pink, Hal.

I started out gray, just like those little angels.

Well, Lola, it looks like you have everything you need here!

Yes, and I'm so happy!

I can't thank you all enough for helping me!

Hey, what are friends for?

And I'm sorry about being so picky

about where we live and what we eat.

But that's just how we've been doing it for millions of years.

Hey, no prob, Lola.

You just keep on doing what you're doing, babe.

Yeah, because we love flamingos!

And, Lola, we'll come back to visit soon! Okay?

Anytime! You guys are always welcome here.

Thanks again! See you soon!

SQUEEKS: Now that's special.

Sure is, and a special place for a special animal!

Oh, hey, what do you say

we finish off our game of Nature I-Spy?

I say let's play!

You're turn again, Hal.

Okay, umm, I spy something...

pink!

Wink, wink, pink, pink.

I'm going to get you, Mr. Silly Sock!

(Giggling)

(Grunting)

Oh, you're so much fun, aren't you?

Don't you go too far, Mr. Silly Sock!

You're the only kitty toy I have left!

DAISY: Nature Cat!

You got to come see this!

Coming!

Be right back!

Don't you go anywhere, Mr. Silly Sock.

(Giggling)

You are not going to believe this, Nature Cat!

What? What are you looking at?

Hey, I don't see anything.

Shh. Come here. Sit down. Look closely.

Hey there! I'm Wanda!

Yipes!

That's a spider! It could be poisonous!

We know that, Nature Cat.

That's why we asked Granny Bunny

what kind of spider this really is.

Hello, darlings. It's not dangerous at all.

Most spiders aren't anything to be afraid of. Spiders rock!

Love you.

You betcha!

I don't trust anything with--

one, two, three, four, five, six?

Seven? Eight?

Eight legs?

But look what Wanda made.

She made a spider web right in your rose bush, Daisy!

Yep, this is a good spot to protect my web

from the wind and rain and animals walking through it.

Are you going to stand for this outrage?

Nature Cat, spiders like Wanda help my rose bushes.

You betcha, Daisy! We're garden spiders.

We eat lots of the bugs that harm Daisy's plants,

like aphids! Yummy!

Whoa! You protect Daisy's garden?

(FRENCH ACCENT): Just like ze ladybugs protect ze garden!

Le wink, le wink!

Yeah, uhh, that's great and all.

But I'd better keep an eye on Mr. Silly Sock.

All of my other toys have gone missing.

And he's the only one left!

That's awful, Nature Cat.

I don't know what I would do

if anything ever happened to Mr. Chewinsky.

If I lose one more kitty toy, I don't know what I'll--

Mr. Silly Sock! Where are you?

Mr. Silly Sock!

Where are you?

(Humming)

♪ It's so good to be me, a lavender kitty ♪

♪ It's so good to be me ♪

Ronald!

Now that I think about it,

he was around when I lost all my other kitty toys too.

When I lost Scratchy Patty...

(Laughing)

Ronald was there.

And he was happy,

too happy.

And when Officer Nibbles disappeared in Sunset Park...

Ronald was close, a little too close.

Hmm.

And when I lost Yarney Barney--

(Grunting)

dear, sweet Yarney Barney--

Ronald was having a picnic alone.

Or was he?

I think Ronald has been taking my toys!

(Grunting)

Unhand Mr. Silly Sock right this minute!

Why, hello, Nature Cat. What seems to be the problem?

Did you take him? Where is he?

Whom?

Mr. Silly Sock, my kitty toy.

I did nothing of the sort!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some lounging to do.

Ronald!

What's going on here, Nature Cat?

Is this guy bothering you, Nature Cat?

Every time I lost one of my kitty toys this week,

Ronald was there, acting suspicious!

Nature Cat, that's just how Ronald acts.

Hey!

Well, okay, you do have a point. I am a pretty suspicious cat.

But I did not, however, do anything wrong this time!

Come on, Nature Cat, let's get out of here.

Toodle-to-the-oo, Nature Cat!

I'm going to get to the bottom of this, Ronald!

I really think Ronald could have taken my toys.

But how can you prove it?

Oh, don't you worry, friends.

I got an idea! I got a lot of ideas.

What say you, spider?

Here's what I'm thinking.

You can catch the toy-taker in the act.

Uh-huh. I'm listening.

When I want to catch something, I use my web.

Your web?

I thought you spiders made these webs as decorations!

Hal, orb webs like Wanda's are cool to look at.

But they do so much more than that.

This web of mine keeps me safe from other animals

that might want to eat me. Don't I look scrumptious?

But the web is so fancy and dainty and delicate.

How does it protect you?

Oh, hey, boss, it may look delicate.

But spider silk is super strong!

And when anything touches my web,

the whole thing just vibrates.

If it's something that wants to eat me, I know I should hide.

Wow! Wow!

Cool. I want a web.

Yup, very cool.

And sometimes, when I feel the web moving,

it tells me that my lunch is here!

You mean your lunch comes to you? Like pizza delivery?

Sort of.

Some of these strands are sticky

and trap whatever flies into them.

I'll show you. But we have to be quiet while we wait.

Can you be quiet, boss?

I can be quiet!

Hal! Shh!

Right, sorry, right, quiet.

Starting now! I mean, sorry. Can you hear me?

Now, starting now.

(Birds chirping)

Nothing's happening.

Now you got to be patient, Nature Cat.

I know that, sometimes, it's not easy to wait.

But you got to trust old Wanda.

If we stay quiet, a bug will come sooner or later.

Okay, I can be patient. Be patient, Nature Cat.

(Buzzing)

Ooh, baby, that's a good one!

Wanda caught a fly!

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Caught a fly! Oh, yeah!

Oh, you betcha, Daisy, right on the sticky strands of silk!

We can make sticky silk to catch a bug

and not-sticky silk so I can get around my web.

But where's that silk coming from?

Oh, uhh, right here, boss.

We spiders have a special organ called a "Spinneret"

that makes silk.

(Groaning)

Ah, ah, ah, don't you go there! Don't yuck someone's yum!

Yeah, you're right, Wanda, our bad, our bad!

So, your idea is to make a web

and then trap the kitty toy taker in it?

Bingo!

Ooh, that sounds awesome!

I love it!

But quick question: What do we use to make the web?

Hmm, if only we had some craft materials.

Houston's doing a craft project over there.

Houston, we have a problem.

Do you have anything we could use to make a giant spider web?

Roger that. Let me check my craft box.

Will this yarn work, sir?

Hmm, not sticky enough.

What about this tape, sir?

Hmm, not webby enough.

I do have this giant wad of spider webbing

and some glue to make it sticky.

Bingo!

Why, thank you, Houston!

Carry on with whatever it is you're working on.

Roger that, sir.

Let's get to work!

Onward and web-ward!

♪

This is one incredible web, you guys!

Not bad, if I do say so myself, which I do!

Now we just have to hide and wait,

like Wanda does when she's waiting for her food.

Well, come on, let's hide!

I don't hear anything.

Just be patient.

The toy-taker is sure to be here soon!

RONALD: Hey, that looks like Hal's toy. What's up with that?

That sounds like Ronald!

Is that Mr. Chewinsky?

Hmm. I'll just move this aside.

Huh? What is happening? What is going on?

What is this stuff? Why is it so sticky?

Whoa!

Got you, Ronald!

I was so worried about you, Mr. Chewinsky!

(Kissing)

Don't ever go again!

A-ha, we caught you in the act!

You caught me doing what?

You were going to take Hal's chew toy,

just like you took all of Nature Cat's kitty toys!

I was going to do no such thing!

I was simply going to get Hal's toy

so I could give it back to him.

Do you think we're going to believe that?

Just admit you are the toy-taker!

I am not!

You are too!

I am not!

You are too!

Am not! Are too!

Am not! Are too!

A-M N-O-T!

Are too!

Excuse me. May I please have my glue back?

I need to finish the boat I'm building

for all the little toys.

Uhh, did you say "Little toys"?

Mr. Silly Socks? Scratchy Patty?

Officer Nibbles? Yarney Barney?

Houston? You've been taking my toys?

No, sir, I did not take them. I found them.

So, Ronald, you didn't do anything wrong?

For once, I did not!

Oh. Uhh, sorry about that.

I guess I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

(Clearing throat)

No, no, you shouldn't have.

We should get you out of the web, huh?

Ronald, on behalf of me, Squeeks, and my associates,

I want to wish you a heartfelt apology

and beg your forgiveness for our gross misjudgment.

Uhh, yeah!

(Grunting)

(Cheering)

It's good to have you back, kitty toys.

(Chuckling)

Love these!

Ain't that right, Scratchy Patty!

(Cheering)
