Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Narrator: Just about everyone
has a secret dream

and Schaeffer is no different.

Schaeffer's dream of
running a small Cafe

is almost a reality.

Of course there are a few
details to attend to,

before the Blue Spruce
Cafe opens its doors.

Schaeffer: A very
nice audition, thanks,

but I'm afraid we're
looking for something a bit..

different for opening night.

Ralph: Well, Schaeffer?

Do you like any of the
acts you've auditioned?

Schaeffer: Not so far.

But there's
one still to go.

Ralph: You must have seen
twenty acts today, Schaeffer.

You'll have to decide soon.

You open tomorrow night.

Bert: I kinda liked
the Fire Eater myself.

Pig 2: Ahem. Preee-senting.

The Tremendous Trotters.

Bert: [laughs]

I see you've been saving the
best act until last, Schaeffer.

Hi-hi! This should be dandy.

Pigs: Uh! Uuuuh-uh!

Ralph: The Fire Eater's
looking better all the time.

Pigs: Aaahh. Yikes.

Oohh. Aaah. Oooh.

Schaeffer: Oh-oh!

[crash]
Pigs: Aaah-ooh. Eee. Yip.

Aaaaah!
[crash!]

Pig 1: Well?
[crash!]

Are we in?

Ralph: You guys
will bowl them over.

Schaeffer: Sorry boys, it's not
quite what I'm.. looking for.

Pig 3: Humph.
Everyone's a critic.

Schaeffer: Hmmm.

I'll help you with those
in a minute, Cedric.

Cedric: You've got
enough to do, Schaeffer.

I can handle it.

Schaeffer: Sorry,
we're not open yet.

Berry: I'm here
for the auditions.

The name's Hill Bailey.

Cedric: Hill Bailey??

Your name's not Hill Bailey.

Cedric: What's the
matter with you guys?

Don't you recognize the world's
greatest guitar player?

This is Woodchuck Berry!

Cedric: Wow!
Woodchuck Berry, the greatest

guitar player in the world.

Live, at the Blue Spruce Cafe.

You know, I've
heard all your albums.

My Pop's one of
your biggest fans.

Bert: And Cedric and I can play
every single one of your songs.

Woodchuck: Well, maybe you
could back me up on a tune.

Bert: Wha.. you're kidding??

We're going to play
backup for Woodchuck
Berry?!

Wow. Or is it.. Hill Bailey?

Woodchuck: Usually,
it's Hill Bailey

but seeing as the secret's out,

aw, you might as
well call me Woody.

Bert: Great.
But why Hill Bailey?

Are you traveling
incognito, or something?

Woodchuck: Yeah, I guess,
you could say that.

It just got so's I couldn't play
a little place like this,

without old fans crowding me,

reporters wanting interviews.

You know, how it is..

Well, seeing as I am going
to be here a couple days,

I might as well set up camp.

[slam]
[car fires up]

[motor chugging]

Bert: I don't know, Cedric.

There's something a little
funny about a big star

like Woodchuck Berry,
using another name.

Pig 3: Oh, oh, oh, I think
we've got it this time.

Pigs: Wooo aahh, eee, yipe.

Uh-aaaaaah!
[crash, bam]

Pig 1: Well, that's the
last of the boss's dishes.

Let's fact it boys,
we've got no talent.

Pig 2: And you said, show biz
would be our ticket

to the big bucks. Humph.

We'll never manage to
break into the big time.

Pig 1: That's it. We'll manage.

We'll find somebody with talent,

and manage them.

They'll do the work and
we'll rake in the profits.

Pig 3: Aoo.

Oh, I like
the sound of that.

But, uh, who will we manage?

Pig 2: How about the greatest
guitar player in the world?

Pigs: [giggle]

Cyril: That's right.
Send over a complete set.

I don't care what
they look like,

as long as they're cheap.
[slam]

Cedric: Busy, Pop?

Cyril: Just
ordering more dishes.

I can't find a
plate in the house.

What's on your mind, son?

Cedric: Guess who's opening the
Blue Spruce Cafe tomorrow night?

Cyril: Whoever's go
they key, I suppose.

[laughs] That was
funny.
Write it down.

Cedric: Your all-time
favorite musician..

Woodchuck Berry.

Cyril: Ugh..
[chokes, coughs]

Cedric: And guess what?

He's asked the g*ng to back
him up on one of his songs.

Well, gotta run, see ya, Pop.

Cyril: Old Woodchuck Berry, eh?

Bert: Boy, playing the Blue
Spruce Cafe must be

a lot different from
those mega-concerts

you played twenty years ago.

Woodchuck: Yeah.
Those were good times.

I remember playing Woodlot..

all the big names were there..

Paul Butterfly, Canned Meat,

Arlo Guppy..

Bert: Yeah. Giants..
Every one of 'em.

Don't you miss
those days, Woody?

Woodchuck: You can't
live in the past, Bert.

Times change. People change.

♪ [guitar music playing]

Bert: It's so sad, Schaeffer.

Poor Woody misses the big time.

Pig 1: Shh. Here he comes.

Now remember. We're fans.

Oh Mr. Berry. Mr. Berry.

Pig 2: We're thrilled
to meet you. Ho hoho.

Pig 3: We're your biggest fans.

Pig 1: Would you sign one
of your albums for us?

Woodchuck: Be happy to, boys.

Pig 1: Just sign right here.

Woodchuck: I hope I see
you fellas at the show.

Pigs: Oh, we wouldn't miss it.

Pig 1: We got it!
Woodchuck Berry just signed

an exclusive contract with
Three Pigs Management.

Pigs: [laughing]

Bert: There's gotta be a reason.

Why would Woodchuck Berry want
to play in a little Cafe

under the name of Hill Bailey?

Cedric: He already
told you why.

He's trying to avoid
big crowds and publicity.

Bert: Aw, there's
got to be more to it..

Hey, wait a minute.

Listen to this.
It's from 15 years ago.

Woodchuck Berry'S
World Tour canceled.

Cedric: So?

Bert: So? He dropped
out of sight,

right after they
canceled his tour.

Gosh, it must have
just shattered him.

Woodchuck: Hey, Cedric.

Schaeffer said,
I'd find you here.

Bert: Huh? Oh. Heh heh.

Woody, hi.

Woodchuck: Hi, Bert.
Listen Cedric,

Schaeffer tells me,
you're Cyril Sneer's son.

Cedric: Sure. That's my Pop.

Do you know him?

Woodchuck: Are you
kidding? We go way back.

I would love to see him again.

Cedric: Well, c'mon. I'll take
you up to the house right now.

See you later, Bert.

Cedric: You know my Pop?
Amazing.

Bert: Woodchuck Berry,
deserves to be back on top.

And who better to
put him there than,

[chuckles] Bert Raccoon.

Pig 1: Rico, Rico, Rico..

I'm talking big time here.

I'm talkin' Woodchuck Berry.

And you're offering us peanuts.

Pig 3: I like peanuts.

Pig 1: Let's talk moola,
long green, mucho dinero..

Yeah, that's right..money.

Pig 3: Oh, I love show biz talk.

Woodchuck: Listen to that.

I told you, your dad
could play a mean sax.

Cedric: I see, what you mean.

But.. I don't understand
why he never mentioned it.

[knock-knock]

Pop?
Cyril: Yeah!

Um...just a minute!

Uh...come in.

Woodchuck: Cyril Sneer!
After all these years.

Cyril: Woody? It's
great
to see you again.
Great!

Cedric: Pop, you never told
me you could play the sax.

Cyril: So..Woody..

I hear, you're playing
at the Blue Spruce Cafe?

Woodchuck: Yeah. And I thought

you might want to come
down and join in, Cyril.

Just like old times.

Cedric: Yeah, Pop.
Wouldn't that be great?

All of us playing together?

Cyril: Sure..sure,
I'll be there.

Front row center.
Ha. In the audience.

Woodchuck: Oh..so you
still haven't gotten over..

um..sorry for
bringing it up, Cyril.

Okay. I'll see myself out.
See you tonight.

Cedric: See you, Woodchuck.

Cyril: You bet, Woody.

I wouldn't miss it.

Cedric: Okay Pop,
what's this all about?

Why are you so embarrassed
about playing the sax,

and what's the big secret
between you and Woodchuck?

Cyril: Well..it's a
little.. silly really.

It goes back to the days when
Woody and I played together.

Yes. Those were great days.

We were going to be stars.

Well, at least..
at least Woody made it..

The idea of playing in public

still brings me out
in a cold sweat.

Cedric: You've always told me
to face up to things, Pop.

I think, you should
bring your sax down

to the Cafe tonight and sit in.

It'd be a.. a
second chance for you.

Cyril: No..no Cedric,
I couldn't..

Pig 1: So we're talking
a major deal here, right?

Terrific. We gotta do lunch!

Pig 1: We've got a one night
gig for Woodchuck Berry

at Rico's Rose Room.

All we have to do is sit back

and collect the cash.
[laughing]

Pigs: We're managers!

Cedric: Woodchuck Berry,
live at the Blue Spruce Cafe.

Hmm, I don't know Bert,
I don't think Woodchuck

wants all this hype.

Bert: Ha. You think that's hype?

Wait until you see,
what I've got lined up.

Huh. Oh yeah, I'm still here.

You will?... Fantastic!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

O, Woody's on his way now.

That was Danielle Manois,
the big record producer.

She's coming to see
Woodchuck's show.

And I've lined up agents,

and producers, and TV crews..

The works.

Cedric: Woodchuck's
not going to like this.

Bert: Do you think, he liked it

when they canceled
his world tour?

No. They stole his future
when they did that.

And Bert Raccoon is going to
give it back to him.

[hammering]

[motorcycle humming]

Pig 1: There he is.
Let's go to work.

Bert: Show canceled?

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

Pig 1: Correcting your poster.

Woodchuck Berry is appearing
at Rico's Rose Room tonight.

We got him a better deal there.

Pig 3: Yeah. His
career is back on track,

thanks to Three Pigs Management.

Notice Woodchuck Berry's

genuine signature
on the contract?

Pig 2: Crummy old
Blue Spruce Cafe.

Pigs: [laughing]

Bert: What? Woodchuck
Berry had his big chance

to make a comeback.

And he just threw it away.

♪♪

Pig: Oh, Mr. Berry, Sir.

We're so sorry.

Pig 3: We apologize on behalf
of the entire Evergreen forest.

Woodchuck: Calm down,
little buddies.

Now what's the matter?

Show canceled. But why?

Pig 2: They..um..couldn't
sell any tickets, um yeah.

So they hired...
Happy Harry Arbuckle

and his singing saw.

Pig 3: They..er..figured,
he'd have broader appeal.

Woodchuck: But..but
why didn't Bert tell me..

or Schaeffer..or somebody?

Pig 1: Um..well.. They
just couldn't face you.

So we...volunteered
to tell you.

Woodchuck: Ah well.
It's not the first time

I've had a show canceled on me,

and I guess it
won't be the last.

Too bad though.
I was kinda looking forward

to opening the Blue Spruce Cafe.

They seemed like nice folk.

Pig 1: Um.. We know another nice
place you could play tonight.

Rico's Rose Room.

Woodchuck: Well, I don't know.

Pig 3: Er.. It's a benefit show.

Woodchuck: Yeah? Well, I
never turn down a benefit.

Pig 1: Great. Follow us!

Woodchuck: Uh,
who's the benefit for?

Pig 3: Us.

Pig 2: Er..us..U.S..um..
Unemployed stone carvers.

US. [laughs]

Woodchuck: Unemployed stone
carvers, eh?

That's a new one on me.

Bert: Woodchuck
could have had it all.

He could have won
back his stardom.

Just look at all these
agents and TV people

and record producers.

Ralph: I can't believe he signed
up with Three Pigs Management.

Schaeffer: What do
I tell the audience?

I wish Woodchuck had
said something to me.

[tires squeal]

Bert: There's somebody
I can say something to.

Come to gloat, Cyril?

Come to laugh about
your little coup?

Signing Woodchuck Berry
to an exclusive contract?

Cyril: As usual, you're
making no sense, fur ball!

I came to hear
Woodchuck Berry's music..

not your mindless meanderings.

Bert: You stole
Woody's chance, Cyril.

This was gonna be
his big comeback show.

But your Three Pigs Management
have booked him

at Rico's Rose Room.

Cyril: That sleazy dive?

Why those back
stabbing bacon bits,

I've got to get Woody back here.

Look at all these paying
customers waiting for him!

Bert: Schaeffer,
stall the audience.

I don't know what's going on,
but I'll find out!

[motor starts]

Nice car, Cyril!

What'll it do?

Oww!

Cyril: Don't push
your luck, Raccoon!

[tires squeal]

Bert: Hurumph!

Schaeffer: Psstt..
Ralph, I don't know

how to stall an audience.

What do I say?

Ralph: I don't know..
introduce yourself..tell a
joke.

Schaeffer: Ehm.. Good evening.

I'm Schaeffer..

a funny thing happened
to me on the way to the Cafe..

I, um..

Woodchuck: Do
I have to wear this?

Pig 2: Think of your image.

Woodchuck: I am
thinking of my imagine.

Pig 1: Then think about those
poor unemployed stone carvers.

Cyril: Three
Pigs Management, eh?

Pigs: B-b-boss!

Cyril: Hand over the contract,
you conniving' curly tails.

Pig 2: We were gong to
surprise you boss. Honest.

Cyril: Surprise me?
Then do something right.

That'd surprise me.

Let's get out of here, Woody.

This is no place for you.

Woodchuck: What's going on?

Cyril: I'll tell you on the way.

Come on, your fans are waiting.

Pig 2: But boss, we've committed
Woodchuck to a show...here!

Cyril: You pathetic
pork chops made the deal,

so you do the show.

Break a leg. [laughs]

Schaeffer: And, [chuckles]
and then the second guy says,

I don't know. I'm
not from around here.

[laughs] Ehm..

Bert: I'm not from around here.

Uh oh.

It's your night, Woodchuck!

Go for it, big guy.

Woodchuck: B-b-but, Bert, I..

Woodchuck: Um.. Good evening..

I..I..um. For my first song,

Bert: Woodchuck!
Quit fooling around.

The world is watching!

Cyril: What's wrong with Woody?

Cedric: Stage fright.
I think he's got stage fright.

Cyril: No. Not Woody.

This can't happen to him.
I can't stand it.

Been a while..I..uh.

hoped it would be..

As for Cyril Sneer,

well, won't forget the
night he put himself

and gave himself
a second chance.

Bert: Terrific.

A record contract
with Danielle Manois.

Eh, I guess, this
makes up for the time

those no goods canceled your
world tour, eh, Woodchuck?

Woodchuck: Bert,
my friend, I'm the one

who cancelled the world tour.

I'd had enough of the crowds,
and bright lights.

You can understand that,
can't you, Bert?

Bert: Yeah, Woodchuck.
I thought, I mean..

If I'd known..well,

I never would've
put you through this.

Gosh, I'm sorry, Woody.

Woodchuck: That's okay, Bert.

You were only trying to help.

And Cyril.. You were great.

I knew, you could do it.

Cyril: Well, it wouldn't have
happened if you hadn't..

Wait a minute..

You've never had
stage fright before.

Woodchuck: Nope. Never.

Cyril: You didn't
do that just to get me..

up on that stage?

You didn't, did you?

Woodchuck: Who me?
By the way, Cyril,

how come you just happened to
