oodle-ay !

Whew. This snow otter
sure was a lot
of work to make.

- Yeah, but it was worth it.
- That's for sure.

I bet snowy's
the best snow otter ever.

I wish it would snow
some more. Then we could
build him a friend.

Whoo-hoo !

Man, jelly,
you gotta be careful
what you wish for.

Yee-haw !

It's not snowing.
It's aunt nanner !

- Nanner, nanner !
- Oh, sorry about that, kids.

See you later,
rodolfo.

[ Excited chattering ]

- Oh, okay. Okay, hold on.
- How come ?

'Cause we need to go inside
and see what fun surprises your
aunt nanner has brought you.

Yea !

Here we go.
Some nice hot cocoa
to warm everybody up.

And I've got a present
for everybody from my trip
to howdydo island.

Wow ! Howdydo island ?
That sounds cool.

It's not only cool,
it's hot.

In fact, it's so hot
everybody uses a fan.

Wow !
Thanks, aunt nanner.

And it rains so much there
everybody needs an umbrella.

[ Chitters ]
uh-oh. It's raining.
It's raining.

Uh-oh, raining,
raining.

And for jelly, I have a special
howdydo island treat.

- It's a giggle melon.
- Wow ! Thanks, aunt nanner.

Why do they call it
a giggle melon ?

You'll find out
when you eat it.
It tastes so delicious.

- You can't help but giggle.
- Thanks, aunt nanner.
This is amazing.

Anna, you've done it again.
The children love
their presents.

hey, jell, can I have
a taste of that giggle melon ?

Sure, peanut.

I'm sorry, peanut.
I don't have anymore.

But maybe aunt nanner
brought another one.

- Yes, jelly ?
- That giggle melon was...

Was the best-tasting thing
I've ever put in my mouth.

May I have another one
for peanut and butter ?

Oh, jelly, I'm sorry.
I don't. And they only
grow on howdydo island.

No more giggle melons ?

Look how fast I can go.
[ peanut ] watch out !
here I come !

I'm a cannonball !

Whoo.

My turn ! My turn !

Yaaaa !
[ Grunts ]

Sorry, sorry.
My fault.

Jelly, are you okay ?

Huh ? Oh, sure, pinch.
I'm fine.

I just can't stop thinking
about giggle melon.

Giggle melon ?
Who's he ? Some new
cartoon character ?

It's not a cartoon character.
It's the best fruit
in the whole world.

Hey, that sounds good.
Can I have some ?

How about me ?
I asked you first.
I'll have a small piece, please.

I'd love to give you some,
but I don't have any anymore.

- Oh.
- I wish I could think
of a way to get some.

-Hey, how about a noodle dance ?
-Yeah !

Let's dance.
We'll think of something.

I'll noodle,
but it's way too cold
to dance.

Hey, I got it !

We could just go buy
another giggle melon
at your dad's store boat.

That would be a good idea,
except he doesn't sell them.

- Oh.
- Wait. I've got it.

We jump on a subway.
That'll take us all the way
to howdydo island.

I like it, jelly, but
I don't think there's a subway
that goes to howdydo island.

Hello ! There's no subway
that goes anywhere.
We don't have subways.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Man, if only I'd saved
some giggle melon yesterday.

That's it ! We can all run
backwards real fast until we get
all the way back to yesterday.

- Come on, guys. Let's try it.
- Yeah. If it works,

I can give you all
a piece of giggle melon.

[ All laughing ]

[ peanut ] look out, jelly.
[ jelly ]
look out, peanut.

[ All sigh ]

Wow. Yesterday looks
just like today.

I mean, tomorrow.

- Well, that didn't work.
- Then let's make snow angels
instead.

Let's not just make snow angels.
Let's keep thinking
and make snow angels.

Are you sure there isn't
any of that giggle melon
left at our house ?

Not even one teeny,
tiny piece ?

Nah. It was so good,
I ate the whole thing.
Except for this seed.

That's it !

I can plant the seed
and we can grow all
the giggle melons we want.

- Huh ?
- So, what are we waiting for ?
Let's get this seed growing.

I don't think we can plant
a garden in the snow, flick.

Yeah, mayor jeff always plants
his garden in the spring.
I knew that.

Well, I hope spring
gets here soon.

Starting a farm, kids ?

We're gonna plant
my giggle melon seed.

I don't know much
about gardening, kids,

But I think it might be hard
to grow giggle melons
in lake hoohaw.

That's okay, mama.
All my friends are gonna
help me. Right, y'all ?

Well, sure, jelly,
but if giggle melons
won't grow here--

Mama didn't say they
won't grow. She just said
it would be hard.

So, we'll just work hard,
right ?

Right.
I don't know, jelly.

Mayor jeff knows a lot
about gardening.

Giggle melons, huh ? Don't
believe I ever heard of those
growing around these parts.

Maybe nobody ever had
a seed, like I do.

Well, I think it's because
giggle melons will probably grow
only in tropical weather.

- Tropical weather ?
- Yep. Very wet and very hot.

Hey, maybe daddy
has an idea.

I don't think so, honey.
Not here in lake hoohaw.

Watchbird alert !
Watchbird alert !

The kids have a problem.
We better check it out.
Okay.

You go ahead.
[ Groaning ]
I'll be right there.

[ cap'n crane ]
uh-oh. Now I have a problem.

It's never been done before,
that's for sure.
Hey, kids.

[ Straining ]
there.

Come on, connie.
Where'd she go ? Huh ?

Oooh !
Leapin' mackerel, connie !
We gotta go see--

I already went, cap'n.
Jelly otter's trying
to grow giggle melons.

Giggle melons ?
You can't grow those here.

That's what I told her.
Well, I better keep
an eye on things.

Sorry, kids.
I don't think you can do it.

Everybody said we can't.

But I just know we can !

This is never gonna work.
Let's go play "space duck."

Playing "space ducks"
sounds like fun.

You can go, peanut.
But I'm gonna grow
giggle melons,

Even if I have to do it
all by myself.
[ laughter ]

Hi, kids.
Thanks, rodolfo.

[ All ]
aunt nanner !

Now, what are my three
little darlings up to today ?

We're gonna grow
giggle melons !

But everybody told us
giggle melons won't grow here.

Well, it's true that
giggle melons usually only grow
in a tropical place.

- You mean I can't do it ?
- Oh, honey, I didn't say that.

With a lot of hard work,
you never know what
you can make happen.

Yea !
I knew I could do it !

[ Sighs ]

♪♪ [ Humming ]

Hey, it looks like--

It is ! Yippee !

You really did it, jelly.
It's growing.

I'm sorry we didn't
believe in you.

That's okay, peanut.
I'm gonna dream about
my giggle melon.

I can't wait to give some
to all my friends.

It's morning !
I gotta go check
my giggle melon garden.

Good morning, giggle--

[ Gasps ]
oh, no !

My giggle melon plant !
It's ruined !

Oh, that's okay,
mr. Caterpillar.
I forgive you.

Now nobody will ever
get to taste any giggle melon.

Full speed ahead, mates.
This is your captain speaking.

Well, I'm the captain too.
And I say we turn around
and head for--

Hey, I thought I was
the captain. Let's take
this boat to howdydo island.

Howdydo island ?
That's where they grow
giggle melon.

Giggle melon ?
Cheese and quackers, munchy.

We're not supposed to remind
jelly of giggle melon.

She doesn't wanna hear the words
"giggle melon" ever again.
So, no more talk about,

you know, giggle melon.

Oh, I forgot.

Sorry, jelly.

Hey, guys,
let's play on the swing.

We can play
"pass the butter, please."

- Pass the butter, please.
- [ Giggling ]

- Thank you.
- Catch the butter ball.

- Here she comes.
- Whee !

You love to play "pass the
butter, please," don't you ?
Looky.

Oh, look.
Mr. Caterpillar likes to play
"pass the butter, please" too.

Hey, isn't that
the same caterpillar that
ate jelly's giggle melon ?

Oops !
Me and my big beak !

I was trying so hard
not to say giggle melon.
Oop ! I did it again.

Hey, jelly, it sure
is getting hot, isn't it ?

Why don't we go ask mom
if we can go swimming.
Yeah, swimming.

That's a great idea ! Right,
jelly ? Then we won't have to
think about giggle melon.

What ? What ?

- [ all laughing ]
- [ peanut ]
we're a sea monster.

Come on, kids.
Time for lunch.

Everybody out of the water.

Uh-oh. I think
it's a real sea monster.

- Oodle-ay.
- It's aunt nanner.

And I've got enough
fish-sicles for everybody.

Now, kids, just take one each.
You don't want to spoil
your lunch.

[ Excited chattering ]

Mmm, these fish-sicles
are great !

Your aunt nanner always
brings the best treats.

Yeah, like the time
she brought that giggle melon.

Ow ! Did I say
giggle melon again ?
Oops. I said it again.

Sorry, jelly.
I didn't mean to say gig--
[ grunts ]

It's just that we never tasted
any of the... You-know-what.

And you made it sound
so yummy, we were all
hoping to try some.

Yeah, jelly.
Could you tell us again
how giggle melon tasted ?

[ Crying ]

Cheese and quackers !
I did it again !

Oodle-ay, pb&-- hey !
Where's jelly ?

She didn't feel like
coming out to play.

She's really sad
about her garden.

I know. Maybe we can plant
some flowers in the garden.
That might make her happy.

- Giggle.
- You're right, butter.

The giggle melon plant
is growing again.

Let's go tell jelly.

You should see it, jelly.
It has a leaf
and everything.

And we all can help you
take care of it.

I can taste
the giggle melon already.

It's no use. I tried
and it just didn't work.

And now summer's half over.

Well, I guess she doesn't
wanna try anymore.

But let's go plant
the flowers anyway.

What did the kids say,
jelly ?

Oh, they wanted me
to start trying to grow
giggle melons again.

But it's too hard.
I already tried.

Now, jelly,
I know you're discouraged,

But I'm very, very
proud of you.

Proud ? Why ?

After all my hard work, I still
don't have any giggle melon
to share with my friends.

But the melon did grow,
jelly.

- Everyone said you couldn't
do it, but you didn't give up.
- And you shouldn't give up now.

Well, my friends did say
they'd help me this time.

- Of course they will, honey.
- And this time
we'll be sure...

To protect the plant
from hungry caterpillars.

Great thinking, jelly !
That's using your noodle.

Do you really think
I can do it ?

- You won't know
if you don't try.
- Then I'm gonna try !

You dig up that old
giggle melon plant, peanut,

And then we can plant
these beautiful flowers.

Well, I guess this is good-bye,
giggle melon plant.
[ jelly ] peanut !

wait ! I wanna try to grow
that giggle melon again.

[ Excited chattering ]
we can do it !

I'm glad you're all
gonna help me.

Now that summer's almost over,
we'll have to think of ways...

To really help
the giggle melon grow.

Hey, I know, jelly.
We'll think of something
if we noodle dance.

What ? You wanna do
a noodle dance ?

Well, she is my sister.
Come on. Let's dance.

Then the giggle melon
will grow extra fast.

Watch this.
[ Gasps ]

I don't think we should
work that fast, flick.

Besides, we need a lot
of heat and rain
like howdydo island.

I've got it ! If we all swim
together in a chain,

we can pull howdydo island
all the way to lake hoohaw
and grow the giggle melons here.

I don't think we could
do that, jelly. We'd never
find a rope that big.

Well, maybe the plant
would grow better...

If we could make it think
that this is howdydo island.

How would we do that, jell ?

We make it really wet
and hot just like it is
on howdydo island.

it's looking pretty good,
jelly.

But we've been working for
three weeks and the giggle melon
hasn't started growing yet.

Did I hear somebody say
"giggle melon" ?

We love giggle melon.
Right, ootsie ?
Right, bootsie.

- You've had giggle melons ?
- Of course.
We've had everything.

Why ?
Do you have some ?

No. We're trying to grow one,
but we need more heat and light.

We have the brightest lights
in all of lake hoohaw.
Right, bootsie ?

Right, ootsie.
Our birthday lights.

[ cheering ]

Can you bring
your lights over here
and set them up for us ?

Ootsie ?
Bootsie ?

- No.
- [ Sigh ]

- But our butler can.
- [ Excited cheering ]

All this work
is simply exhausting.

Yes, but it's worth it, bootsie.
Think about that giggle melon.

whoa. Now there's enough
giggle melons for everybody.

All right ! There's
a whole giggle melon
for each of us.

Let's go show mom.
[ Excited chattering ]

Mama, daddy, look !
Giggle melons !

Jelly, it's wonderful
what you and your friends
have done.

Yep, you kids worked hard
and didn't give up.

And now you've got
a harvest of giggle melons.

- We should have a party.
- Let's invite the whole town.

[ Excited chattering ]

So glad you folks
could make it.

Oh, no !
I hope it's not
gonna rain !

Look, it's aunt nanner !

Goodness gracious !
Looks like I got here
just in time.

- What's this wingding for ?
- It's a giggle melon party.

Why, jelly, you really
grew giggle melons !

I just knew you could do it.
I'm proud of you, honey.

We're all proud
of these children.

And now it's time for the kids
to eat their giggle melons.
[ Cheering ]

Before we eat, I just
wanted to say I'm thankful
to all my friends...

For helping me grow
these giggle melons.

Thank you, jelly.
It was fun.

And I'm thankful to mama
and aunt nanner for helping me
see that I shouldn't give up.

And I'm thankful
it's time to eat !
Mmm.

[ opal ]
why, mr. And mrs. Muskrat.

What a delightful surprise.

Just happened to be
in the neighborhood...

And thought we'd drop by
to say hello.
Hello.

We're having a feast.
We'd love to have you
join us.

Hey, doloris. Hey, willy.
It's good to see you all again.

Hey, jelly.
What are you eatin',
jelly ?

It's called a giggle melon
and we have enough
for everybody.

And here's a piece
for you all too.

Wow, jelly !
Thanks for the giggle melon.

Jelly worked harder
than anybody to grow
these giggle melons.

And it sure was nice
of her to share her piece
with doloris and willy.

You guys thinking
what I'm thinking ?

Here, jelly.
Me too.

Here you go, jelly.
Here's another piece,
jelly.

Doesn't it do your heart good
to see our kids
sharing like that ?

Oh, they're such
wonderful children.

Pretty good gardeners too.
