-Oh! Where are you, Panda?

I can't wait to meet your friends,

the mooing moon moths of Moo Moth Moon.

I am so excited they're coming for a visit.

[ Ship landing ] Oh, yes!

Yes! There's Panda's spaceship!

Welcome to Someplace Else,

mooing moon moths of Moo Moth Moon!

-Hi! -Hey, Panda!

-Hi! -Hey, uh, uh,

where are the mooing moon moths?

-Oh! They're here.

They're just a little bit nervous about visiting

Someplace Else. -Oh, oh!

Well, uh, please tell them that everyone in

Someplace Else is super kind and loving.

-Okay! Uh, moo-moo-moo!

Uh, come on out, little fluttering friends.

-Moo-moo-moo!

-Donkey, meet the moon moths of Moo Moth Moon!

That there is Mel,

Monica, Marea,

Moesha, Michael,

and Larry.

-Hi, Mel, Monica, Marea, Moesha, Michael, and Larry.

-Moo-moo! -Moo-moo-moo.

-I think they like you, Donkey. -I like them too!

-You should tell them, uh, with a moo.

Uh, they speak in moos.

-Moo-moo-moo-moo!

[ Moths mooing ]

-[ Gasps ] Oh!

I left my moon moth care book in the spaceship.

-Care book? -Yeah, the moon moths' parents

gave it to me so I know everything that they like

and don't like.

I'd better go get it.

-And I'll stay right here with the moon moths!

Moo-moo, moths. -Moo-moo!

-[ Laughs ]

Hey, hey, do you all want to hear how a donkey says hello?

[ Moths mooing ]

Okay, okay, it goes something like this...

[ Clears throat ]

Hee-haw!

[ Moths mooing disapprovingly ]

-Oh, no! Oh, what's happening, moon moths?

What's wrong?

Come back, Mel. Oh, Monica! Monica!

Wait! Whoa!

Marea!

Stay right there, Marea.

Oh! Oh! Marea! Wait! Wait!

Oh, Moesha?

Hey! Slow down, Moesha.

Ah! Michael!

Hold on, Michael. Michael?

Whoo, Larry!

Larry! I, um...

Moesha?

Monica?

Oh, no!

-Hm. This is interesting.

Hey, Donkey?

It says here that moon moths

don't like it when someone hee-haws.

So, you might not want to do that while they're here.

[ Giggles ] -I know.

-Uh, where are the moon moths?

-I hee-hawed.

They all flew away!

-But they don't like hee-haws!

-Yeah, I wish I had known that before.

-Oh, but I just read it now.

We gotta find the moon moths and bring them back.

-Yeah, I tried chasing them, but they flew all over.

They are really, really, really hard to catch!

I don't know if we can do this by ourselves.

-We have to try, Donkey.

-Okay, it's going to be very hard, but I, Donkey Hodie,

will find the mooing moon moths of Moo Moth Moon.

-We'll do it together. -Yeah.

-Come on!

-The mooing moon moths are not around here.

-Yeah.

-[ Sighs ] The mooing moon moths are not in the park.

-Oh! Where can these mooing moon moths be?

-Why don't you check the moon moth care book?

Maybe something in there will help us find 'em.

-Says here that moths love to hide

and that they're really hard to find

because they're the best hiders in the galaxy.

Oh, no!

Maybe it is too hard for us to find them.

Maybe I should go and pick up the moon moth parents

and, uh, have them find the moths.

-No, no, no, Panda, Panda. Wait!

Even though this is hard, we can still do it.

-How?

♪ Sometimes things are hard ♪

♪ Sometimes things are rough ♪

-Hmm.

♪ When we're overwhelmed, here's a way to start ♪

-Uh, what do you mean?

What easy part?

♪ Look for an easy part ♪

-Okay, so to find the moon moths,

let's start with something easy,

something we already know how to do.

-What do we know about the mooing moon moths?

-The mooing moon moths love to moo.

-Yes! Yes! Hey!

Hey, maybe we can listen for the moos to find them.

-That's a great idea.

Let's do it!

-Moo-moo. -[ Gasps ] Did you hear that?

-Look!

[ Gasps ]

It's Mel!

We found Mel!

-Uh, come on down, Mel.

Uh, moo-moo-moo.

Oh, he's not coming down.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

-We can do it, Panda.

We started with something easy, listening for the moo.

Now for the harder part -- getting him to come down.

-Yeah. Oh, maybe there's something

in the book that can help.

-What does Mel like?

-Mel likes sparkly bow ties.

-I have just the sparkly bow tie.

Maybe this will attract Mel

and he'll come down and check it out.

-Let's see. Um, hi!

Uh, I mean, uh, moo-moo, Mel.

Look at the sparkly bow tie.

Moo?

-It worked!

I think moths are attracted to things they like.

-Okay. Okay.

Come on, let's go and listen for some more moos

and find some more moths.

-Moo-moo! -Moo-moo-moo-moo.

-I hear two moos.

-Moo moo-moo-moo.

-Look. It's Monica and Marea.

-[ Gasps ]

Come on. Come on back, Monica and Marea.

Moo-moo!

See the sparkly bow tie? -Hmm?

-They don't like the sparkly bow tie.

-What do they like?

-Oh, let's check the book.

Monica and Marea both like pineapple upside-down cake.

-[ Gasps ] On it!

Moo-moo, Monica and Marea!

Pineapple cake! Huh?

Come and get it!

They're not coming to get it.

-Why aren't they flying over?

Oh, this is hard.

-Oh, but we can do hard things, remember?

We do the easy parts first, then we do the harder parts

till we solve the problem.

-Okay, so... we listened to the moos,

and we figured out that they liked pineapple cake.

That's easy-peasy.

But now the hard part.

Why aren't they flying over to the cake?

-What kind of cake did their parents say they liked?

-Um, pineapple upside-down cake.

-[ Gasps ] That's it! -What's it?

-Monica and Marea like pineapple upside-down <span> cake.

This pineapple cake needs to be upside down.

Whoop!

Hey!

[ Both gasp ]

-We got Monica and Marea back.

-Come on, let's keep listening for more moos

and find the three other moon moths!

-Moo? -Moo-moo-moo-moo.

-More moos.

Look! It's Moesha and Michael up on the windmill.

-Let's see. Moesha and Michael both love...

miniature golf.

Okay!

Come on down to the golf ball, Moesha.

-Moo-moo. -Here comes Moesha.

-Yeah! Now I just gotta get Michael.

Hi, Michael! Moo-moo-moo!

-Moo-moo-moo-moo.

-Oh!

[ Chuckles ] Come on down, Moesha.

-Moo-moo-moo.

-Ah.

Come on, Michael! Come on down.

-Moo-moo. Moo-moo-moo-moo.

-How do I get them to both stay down at the same time?

This is hard!

-Oh, we can do hard things, Panda.

We start with the parts we know how to do first.

-Right, okay, so, first we listened for the moos.

-Mm-hmm. -And then we found out

that they liked mini golf.

Those were the easy things.

-Yeah, now for the hard thing.

How do we get both moths to fly down at the same time?

-Hmm.

Maybe the ball is too small for two of them.

Maybe we need something for both moths.

Uh [Gasps] something like...

...two golf balls!

-Moo-moo! -Moo-moo-moo-moo-moo.

-You did it, Panda!

You figured out how to get them both down at the same time.

-I'm getting good at doing hard things.

-Now come on, we just have to find one more moon moth.

-Okay. Come on. Moo-moo!

-Moo.

Moo-moo.

-[ Gasps ] I hear a moo.

-[ Gasps ] Larry!

-Let's find out what Larry likes to do

so we can get him to come down, too.

Feet!

-Ah! Larry loves feet.

Ah! Here you go, Larry! [ Chuckles ]

-[ Chuckles ]

[ Groans ] This is hard.

-Oh, but we can do hard things.

Let's think. -Okay.

What else can you do with your feet?

Um... -Moo moo-moo-moo moo moo moo.

-Moo-moo moo-moo-moo. -Hey!

Those moos are starting to sound a lot like music.

-Oh, yeah! [ Giggles ]

-Moo-moo.

-Wait. Wait.

Music reminds me of another thing we do with our feet.

Dancing!

-Yeah! Let's dance!

-Moo-moo-moo moo-moo-moo moo. -Larry's back!

-Now we have all the moon moths back because...

-We can do hard things!

-Let's have a moon moth dance party, huh?

-Yeah!

-Moo-moo!

Moo-moo-moo. Moo-moo-moo-moo.

-[ Laughing ]

I'm gonna b*at you to Bob Dog's house!

-No way! I'm gonna b*at you!

-No way, Panda. [ Chuckles ]

Panda? Where'd you go?

-Hi!

-What are you doing down there?

-Well, I was running, and then I wasn't.

-Well, come on out of there so we can keep playing.

-Okay.

[ Grunting ]

I can't really pull myself out, Donkey.

-Oh, hang on. I'll pull you up.

-Oh, thanks.

-[ Grunting ]

-Uh, you're not really pulling me out, Donkey.

-Ah! [ Panting ]

Maybe I can push you out from inside.

[ Grunting ]

Tight squeeze.

-Uh, just curious, Donkey.

Are you going to be able to get me?

-I sure will, Panda.

Um...Hmm.

Focus, focus.

Think, Donkey Hodie, think!

Panda can't pull himself out.

I can't pull or push him.

Hmm.

Thinking, thinking.

Uh...

Ah! I got it!

-What is it?

-It's an almost-ladder.

You can climb out yourself.

-Climbing up now.

-Good job, Panda.

-Thank you, Donkey.

You too!

And, uh, guess what. -What?

-I'm gonna b*at you to Bob Dog's!

-[ Laughs ]

Hey! Hey, wait!

There are more holes over there.

I wonder what's going on.

-Only the holes know.

Come on! Let's follow them!

-Hey! [ Chuckles ]

Look! More holes!

-Ah. Hey. It's raining dirt.

-Hey, Bob Dog? What are you doing?

-Uh, I can't find my bone.

Yeah, I've been digging holes all over the place

looking for it.

-Oh, yeah. We just found one over that way.

-A bone? -Oh, no, a hole.

-Oh. -And I fell into it.

-Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry about that.

I buried that bone somewhere close by.

At least I think I did.

-Don't you have another bone?

-I do, but the bone I'm looking for isn't just any bone.

It's my boogie bone!

-Boogie bone?!

-Yeah, yeah, when I feel like boogieing, I dance with it.

And today I feel like boogieing.

So I need my boogie bone!

-Hey, I get it.

When you feel like dancing, you just gotta dance.

-Yeah. [ Sighs ] And I've looked everywhere.

Oh, it's gotta be here somewhere!

-Not to worry, Bob Dog.

I, Donkey Hodie, will help you find your boogie bone.

So, how do you usually find something you buried?

-Oh, uh, like this.

See, I usually just dig until I find it.

Wait a minute. I think I found it.

Oh, no. It's not my boogie bone.

It's just an old toy I buried years ago.

[ Sighs ]

-So...are you just going to keep digging holes?

-Bow-wow, I am!

How else am I going to find my boogie bone?

-Hey, Bob Dog?

Bob Dog?

Bob Dog! -Yes?

-Um, maybe you should just, oh, I don't know,

stop and think before you dig holes all over.

You know, come up with a plan to help you find your bone.

-Oh, yeah.

Stop and think,

like when you were tapping your head

before you helped me figure out

how to get out of that hole, Donkey.

-I did do that, didn't I?

I guess I do that when I get frustrated and frazzled

to help me stop and think.

-Wait a minute. You get frustrated and frazzled, too?

-Sure do!

♪ When I get frustrated and frazzled ♪

♪ When I get worried or dazzled ♪

♪ I signal myself to stop and think ♪

♪ By tapping my head like so ♪

[ Tink, tink, tink, tink, tink ]

-Oh, yeah!

♪ When I get nervous and flustered ♪

♪ When my mind is a messy cluster ♪

♪ I signal myself to stop and think ♪

♪ By moving my feet like so ♪

-♪ The key is to find your stop ♪

♪ Relax and focus your thoughts ♪

♪ The ideas will flow ♪

♪ And soon you'll know which way you want to go ♪

-Oh, if only I had a stop.

I'd be the happiest dog in town.

Aaaarrrroooooooo!

-Uh, Bob Dog?

Uh, what are you doing? -Oh, nothing.

Just howling up at the sky,

disappointed that I can't remember

where I buried my boogie bone.

Aroooooooo.

[ Sighs ]

-[ Gasps ]

Hey, Bob Dog. Look at you.

You don't look frazzled or frustrated right now.

-I-I don't? -Mnh-mnh.

No. You look relaxed.

-I do? Hey!

You know what? You're right.

I do feel relaxed.

-Hey, Bob, maybe howling up at the sky

helped you feel less frazzled and frustrated.

-[ Gasps ] Bob Dog!

Maybe you just found your stop.

-Bow-wow, I did!

Wait. What is it?

-Howling up at the sky is your stop!

-Oh, yeah.

You know, I like howling and looking up.

-Now that you're calm and relaxed,

maybe you can think of a plan to find your bone.

-I can? I mean, I can!

And I will! Yes!

Okay, um, how can I find you, boogie bone?

Uh, I've got so many new dance steps to do with you.

Hey, steps.

That's it.

To help me find my boogie bone, I'll retrace my steps

and do everything exactly like I did the day I buried it.

Come on!

Okay, the first thing I did that day was bury something.

-Uh, another bone? -No. An old ball.

Yeah, you know the one with the red star?

Well, I buried it right here by your grumbleberry bush.

-Grumbleberries are my favorite berry.

That's why I grow them.

-Yeah, and you told me I could pick some to eat, and I did.

Yeah, yeah, it's all coming back to me now.

After I picked the grumbleberries,

I buried the ball with the red star right here.

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. See!

-Ah, good thinking, Bob Dog.

-Did you bury your boogie bone here, too?

-Hmm. Did I?

Uhhhh, no. I don't think so.

-Do you remember where you went after you left here?

-I do!

I brought my boogie bone right here!

-Uh, you buried your boogie bone in my spaceship?

-No, no, no. I came here to borrow your radio

so I could boogie with my boogie bone.

-Oh, yeah, I remember. -Mm-hmm.

-You came by.

You and me boogied for a little bit.

And then you and your boogie bone just boogied off.

-You know what this means, Bob Dog?

-It means I didn't bury my boogie bone here.

-Exactly!

It also means that your plan

to retrace your steps to find your missing boogie bone

is working.

-Okay, so where did you go after you left my house?

-Okay, let's see. Where did I go?

[ Gasps ] I remember. Follow me!

-[ Gasps ]

-Okay. Okay. It's coming back to me now.

Um, I came here to the park with my boogie bone

right after I left Panda's.

-Uh-huh. -Ah. Yes, right!

The park, the perfect place to bury your boogie bone.

-So...you buried it here?

-I...

can't remember.

-I thought everything was coming back to you.

-Well, it was.

It was, but now it's gone again.

Just like my boogie bone!

What if it's gone forever and ever?

-Focus, Bob Dog. Remember...

-♪ The key is to find your stop ♪

♪ Relax and focus your thoughts ♪

♪ The ideas will flow ♪

♪ And soon you'll know which way you want to go ♪

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right! I just need to stop and think.

-Mm-hmm! -Okay.

Arrrooooooo!

Ahh.

Okay. Stop...focus...

calm down...

and slow it down.

-We got this far, Bob Dog.

You had your bone with you up to this point.

-Mm-hmm. -Now think.

Keep retracing your steps.

-Okay, let's see. I came here.

Uh...Oh! And then I went to the big grassy hill over there.

-Oh! And you buried it at the big grassy hill?

-Um, no, no, I didn't do that.

Um...

Hey! That tree!

Yeah! I remember dancing around this tree with my boogie bone.

-What did you do next?

-Uh, well, I got so hungry from dancing

that I ran straight home!

That's it!

The boogie bone's gotta be at my house!

Oh, come on, boogie bone! Where are you?

-He's gonna find it. I know it.

-Maybe it's over here. Oh, no.

-Did you find it?

-Oh, no, I didn't find it.

But it's gotta be here somewhere

because I was hungry and I had to eat.

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not here.

-Bob Dog, I think it's a good idea if you use --

-My stop! -Mm-hmm.

-Yes. Okay.

Arrrooooooo!

Ahh.

My stop is kicking in.

Okay, think, Bob Dog.

Uh, okay, when you came home...

um, did you still have your bone?

Yes, yes, you still had your bone with you.

But you were hungry.

I was very, very hungry.

-Oh, we -- we know, Bob Dog.

-But you didn't get food from the kitchen,

did you, Bob Dog?

No, no, you didn't.

But why?

Why?

Wh--

I know why.

I figured it out!

-But what is it, Bob Dog? What?

-Okay, I had a grumbleberry pie

cooling on that window sill right over there.

But before I ate it...

I buried my boogie bone right here to keep it safe!

I found it! I found my boogie bone!

-Yeah! You found it!

-Yeah. Oh, I missed you, boogie bone.

I promise I'll never bury you again.

[ Sighs ]

Thanks to my stop, I found my boogie bone.

-Yeah! Nice stopping, Bob Dog.

-And good thinking. -Aww, thank you.

And now it's time to boogie!

-Ohhhh!

-Hee-hawesome!

-Ahh!

It's a boogie wonderland!
