Hi! [chuckles] It's you.

I'm so glad to see you
and you're just in time...

Come on in!

Wait a minute... [smelling]
What's that smell?...

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

...it's you!

[sniffing]

Ooh! You smell so good today!

Tell me,
did you just have some milk?

Cause you smell
so good and healthy.

[smelling]

Or do you smell
this good all the time?

[laughing]

Well, I was just on my way
into the living room

to sit down on my couch

and read a good book.
Now, let's see which one today?

OJO: ♪ Be it ever so humble ♪

What's all this?

♪ There's no place like home ♪

♪ -Dubbie, dubbie, doo ♪
-Can you hear that?

It sounds like
somebody's inside.

I wonder who it could be?

Hello? Anybody in there?

OJO: Who is it?

Well, it's just me.

OJO: Well, if you're coming
to visit my house,

please use the door.

I see. This is a house!
So the couch cushions are...

No, no, no! Those aren't
couch cushions. Those are walls!

I see. That's Ojo.
She's playing pretend.

[clearing throat]

May I please speak to
whomever lives in this house?

OJO: Well sure, but first
you've got to ring the doorbell!

[bell ringing]

OJO: One second!

-Hello, Bear! It's you!
-Hi Ojo!

-How do you like my house?
-It's great!

It is, Bear, it is!
Yeah. You know what?

In the living room I can
build up my blocks all day

and leave them up forever.
And you know what?

I have a slide. It goes all
the way from my bedroom

to a big playroom
in the basement

and, best of all, I have my
very own bedroom... just for me!

That's the nice thing
about these pretend houses

is how much room they have.

Well, okay Bear, I've gotta go!

What's your hurry?

I gotta go to the kitchen
to get ready for my big party.

I'm having a hundred
and thirty-two little bears

over for a great big dinner!

Whoa! That is a big party.

And a lot of work.

-See you later, Bye!
-Bye, Ojo! Have fun!

OJO: ♪ Be it ever so humble ♪

-♪ There is no place like home ♪
-Ojo.

Home. Home is such
a nice word, isn't it? Home.

HOME

But have you ever really stopped
to think about what it means?

Let's see... Um well,

home is where you live,
and where your family is.

But the amazing
thing is that homes

can be any shape or
size or made of anything!

Like for instance... umm.

A bird's home is a
nest made of sticks.

[birds chirping]

Or some people make there
homes out of blocks of ice!

And ants make
ant hills out of sand...

-[ants mumbling]
-[upbeat music]

Sticks, ice, sand....

A home can be
made out of anything!

Just imagine how
small a tiny anthill is

compared to your house or mine.

But, the best thing about home
is...

well, it makes me feel....
at home!

♪ In the morning,
when I wake up ♪

♪ I stretch and shake my head ♪

♪ It feels so great
to be in my own bed ♪

♪ Walk to the kitchen,
make my special cup of tea ♪

♪ And stop and think,
It's so nice to be ♪

♪ Here in my home sweet home ♪

♪ I've got my favorite chair
Yes, in my home sweet home ♪

♪ All my favorite things
are there ♪

♪ Because my home sweet
Home is so perfect' for a bear ♪

♪ Gee, it's great
to be at home! ♪

[sniffing]

♪ I love to sniff my way
around my Big Blue House ♪

♪ Or read a book or sit
and talk with a mouse ♪

♪ My favorite bathroom has
my favorite bear shampoo ♪

♪ And best of all I get
to spend time with you ♪

♪ 'Cause in your home
sweet home I'm sure ♪

♪ that you'll agree, that
your home sweet home ♪

♪ Is the perfect place to be! ♪

♪ Cause it's your home sweet
home and everybody knows ♪

♪ It's great to be at home ♪

♪ Yeah, it's great to be
at home ♪

♪ Yeah, it's great to be
at home ♪

♪ Home sweet home! ♪

So, what do you think?

Do you have a favorite part
of your home that you like?

Like a room or a corner?

I live in a big house.

An apartment building.

Well, my house is somewhere
far away from this house.

My room have a
pink rug with urn...

And white...

And white...

White and urn, and it
was seventeen floors.

I have a new bed.

I have a hundred stuffed
animals in my room.

I'm gonna get a new bed.
A bunk bed.

It has the bicycle
on the window.

[both laughing]

Yeah!

Hey, you've given me
a great idea!

How would you like
a tour of my house?

The Big Blue House?

Now let's see, where
should we begin?

Aha! The kitchen! Perfect.

It's where the food is.
And bears love food!

Boy, o'boy, do I ever
love this kitchen!

A bear's three favorite
words are breakfast,

lunch, and dinner!

And they all happen
here in the kitchen!

Isn't it great?
Now look at this.

This is the kitchen table!

It's the best part
of the kitchen.

-No, no, no...
-With, this table you sit

and you can have a whole mess of
cooked

and buttered string beans...

All wrong Bear, all wrong.

-Hi.
-Hi!

This is my friend,
Tutter, the mouse.

Hello!

Tutter, could you
tell me something?

Yeah, what?

What is wrong with cooked
arid buttered string beans?

No, no, Bear! String Beans
are fine, just fine and dandy,

but l must say with all due
respect, with all due respect,

Bear that, you're missing the
best things about the kitchen!

-Really?
-Yes, Bear! Yes!

Interesting.

Every mouse knows
it's the little things

that make a kitchen great!

Every mouse knows!

-Tutter.
-What?

-I have an idea!
-Yeah?

Could you show us
your most extra special,

favorite part to the kitchen?

Alrighty then.

I'll give you a tour
of the kitchen

that you will never forget.

All right! Tutter, lead the way.

Okay!
I'll meet you down on the floor!

Come on, come on! You'll have
to come further down than that!

Hi! Okay, step right up!

This will be interesting!

First stop. The sun-window!
Isn't it great? Isn't it great!

Look how the sun shines
on that little spot right there.

I never noticed that before.

OK. It's just right
for a mouse, Bear.

It's very warm. And from
here, I can see the sky!

Wow, what do you know?

Ok! Let's go!
Let's go, second stop.

Where did Tutter go?

TUTTER: Over here,
Bear, over here.

That's right. [grunting]
Ta da! The cheese drawer!

[smelling]

[laughing]

Of course this is a great part
of the kitchen for a mouse.

Mice love cheese!

It's better
than a bread basket, Bear

and there's nothing
like a gutsy gouda

or a crispy cheddar!

The cheese Drawer is the best!

I see what you mean. But Tutter

it must be awfully hard for you

to get up here all of the time.

No worry, Bear. No worry.

Fortunately Bear, you drop
plenty of crumbs on the floor

when you come downstairs
for your midnight snack!

-Really?
-Yeah!

I like a nice cheese sandwich
now and then

before going to bed.

But I didn't know I
was such a sloppy eater!

But Bear, hurry!

There's one more place you've
got to see! One more place.

-Can you give me a hand.
-Sure, I can't wait to see it.

Yeah, this is
the best place of all.

Here we go.

This is it, Bear. This is it.
It's my mouse hole.

It's my home!

And it makes the kitchen
the very best room of all!

The very best room.
Don't you agree Bear?

-Well yeah, I do agree.
-My home...

You know, Tutter,

I think the best part
of the kitchen is that

you like it so much.

[laughing]

Thank you Bear.
Bear, I'd invite you in,

but you're, er, too
big, too big.

[laughing] So long, bye-bye!

Well, I think it's great that

there's a second home
right inside my home.

Well, shall we go upstairs

and continue tour of the
Big Blue House? Follow me!

[guitar music]

Here we are. Our next stop of
our tour of the Big Blue House -

the bathroom.

[sniffing]

The bathroom, the most important
room for getting clean.

That's why they call it
the bathroom.

Bath-room... get it?

It's the room where you take a
bath and you know other stuff.

Now here is where I keep

all my special bear
soaps and bear shampoos!

I use this shampoo,
for normal to dry fur.

This is my Bear
conditioner for...

PIP AND POP: Hey, Bear! Bear!

Pip and Pop. What
are you two doing here?

We're having fun in the bathtub!

Yeah!

-PIP AND POP: Bye Bear!
-Where'd you two go?

-Hi, Bear!
-Fun is our middle name!

No... Fun is your middle name.
Mine is Angelica. Remember?

Right. Sorry.
Hey, c'mon let's go.

PIP AND POP: Bye Bear.

[laughing]

Where'd you go now?

PIP AND POP: Hi Bear.

[chuckles]

There you are. Look.

I was telling everybody,
how great the bathroom is,

because of my Bear
soaps and shampoos and...

PIP AND POP: No way!

-You're kidding Bear?
-Is he kidding?

-I think he's kidding.
-He's joking.

There's no way...

Well, no, I wasn't. I thought...

No! There's so much other
stuff to do in the bathroom!

-Yeah!
-Really?

Sure Bear!

Well, like what? Tell me.

What do you two like
best about the bathroom?

-There's so much water!
-Yeah, we love water!

[exclaims]

Now, where did they go?

♪ We love to wash our faces! ♪

-We love to brush our teeth!
-Yeah.

[giggles]

How? But how... How'd you get...

[gibberish]

And we love to take a bath.

Yeah,
especially when we get to sing!

♪ When I take my bathy-by ♪

♪ I get soap in my eye ♪

♪ It really stings
so I think... ♪ [Bear laughs]

Well, I guess Pip and Pop love
the bathroom

even more than I do.

Well, let's go to the next room.

I'm getting dizzy.
Bye, Pip and Pop!

Bye ya, Bear!

♪ When I take my bathy-by ♪

[laughing]

Boy! Those Otters
sure are energetic, Aha!

Now, let's see, what's next?

Aha!

You're gonna love this!

[guitar music]

Ta-da! My bedroom!
Isn't it great?

I bet you have a great room too.

Hey it's a great place

for keeping all
your cool stuff like...

yes, a dinosaur.

Where else would
you want to keep...

[Treelo laughing]

Treelo! Hello, friend!

This is Treelo! He's a Lemur,

and a very good friend of
everyone in the Big Blue House.

[Treelo murmuring]

Hey Treelo, I was
telling everybody

how great the bedroom is

for keeping cool stuff,
like this dinosaur...

No, no, no! It's the bed!

The bed makes
the bedroom special.

The bed?

I love the bed. Treelo bed.

[Treelo laughing]

Well, yeah. But you've got
to admit this dinosaur is...

No, no! The bed!

Well what about the window seat?

No! The bed, Bear! Bed!

-Aha! What about the toy chest?
-Bed!

-The cupboard?
-Bed.

Well how about the drawers?

Bed. Bed bed bed bed bed!

-I think Treelo loves the bed.
-Yes!

Okay, Treelo,

tell me, why do you
love the bed so much?

[gibberish excited singing]

Aaah, bouncing yeah!

[both laughing]

No wonder you love
the bed so much!

I couldn't agree more.

The bed and the bedroom
are just great places to be.

[Treelo laughing]

And would your favorite
part of the bedroom be...

BOTH: The bed!

-Hey, I'm a smart bear.
-Night-night, Bear!

Treelo.... Treelo?

[snoring]

Are you sleeping?

[snoring]

[sush]

[whispering] C'mon tippie
toe, tippie toe, tippie toe.

Hey,
you know I was just thinking,

I have
this special little friend.

Urn, she's kind of unusual

but if we look real hard
and maybe sing a song together

we could find her. Wanna try?

Do you see my friend Shadow?

Ha ha! Hi you old Bear.

There you are. Shadow, what
have you been up to, today?

I was just playing with
the sunlight by the window.

Oooh that sounds like fun.

Urn Shadow, I was wondering -

could you and
your shadow friends

tell us a story, today?

Why certainly Bear!

Let me see what I can fancy!
Just watch!

Wow that was great.

Gee, I wonder
what it would be like

to live in a pair
of blue suede shoes?

Hmm, well it wouldn't be
all that different

from living in a Big Blue House!

True, true....

Well, I must fly, but when
you need another story -

just try to find me!

See ya soon!

-Bye Shadow!
-Bye!

Hey I just remembered,

I almost forgot to show
you a really important room.

Would you like to see it? C'mon.

[soft music playing]

The attic. Isn't it great?

Sometimes I like to just come up
here and look out at the stars!

It's also where I come
to talk to a special friend.

Let's go see if we can find her.

Ah! There she is!
It's Luna, my friend, the moon.

Hello, Luna! How are you?

Hello, Bear.

I was just getting a good look
at the countryside.

But tell me.

What happened
in your Big Blue House today?

I gave everybody a tour
of the Big Blue House!

I'd like to take
that tour someday!

What was it like?

Well, everybody had
their own favorite room.

Tutter loves the kitchen.

Treelo loves
the bed in the bedroom.

Ojo loves the living room,

because it's a great place
to play pretend!

And the Otters love
the bathroom, because...

BOTH: They love the water!

[both laughing]

Well, Bear. It seems to me that
maybe the whole Big Blue House.

-That's true!
-Except for you!

You're right!
I never even thought of that.

Well, Bear, it seems to me that
maybe the whole Big Blue House

is your most extra special,
favorite place.

It's your home after all!

Wow, Luna,
when you're right, you're right.

What can I say. I'm the moon.

True, true-

Well, guess I'd better be
getting on back up to the sky.

I don't want everyone
wondering where I've gone.

Hey Luna, would like to join me

in singing a good-bye
song to all our friends

before you go?

I'd love to, Bear.
