♪ -Now you're here
-So let's begin ♪

Oh, hi! It's so good to see you.

I've been waiting for you!

Come on in!

So, how are you to...

[sniffing]

Wait a second...

[sniffing]

What's that smell?

[sniffing]

Hey!

[sniffing]

[gasps] It's you!

[sniffing]

Ooooh, you smell
like freshly baked cookies!

Tell me,
did you just bake some cookies

or do you smell
this good all the time?

[laughing]

Well,
come on into the living room.

I was just about to sit down
and have a little swing.

Yep, nothing like sitting
on the old bear swing,

and swinging to and fro
and fro and to...

[sighs]

OJO: Bear!

Bear! You forgot!

I can't believe you forgot.
Don't you remember?

Oh! I forgot?
I mean, I didn't remember?

You promised.

Well, ok. Let's see.

I promised Ojo something.

Now, what could have been?

Bear! You promised
to make me something

extra special
really good to eat!

Oh right! Yes!

[laughing]

Eh...

Do you remember what that was?

Bear!

Ok, ok, I'll remember.
Let's see now...

Oh! Was it my...

whole mess of cooked
and buttered string beans?

Uh-uh!

Was it... corkscrew pasta
with cheese and Rosemary!

I love that.

Yes!

But no. It wasn't that, Bear.

I can't believe that you forgot.

It's your most
extra special speciality.

Ok, ok, let me think now.

-Think, think.
-Think, think.

Wait, something's coming.
Something's coming

Yes, is it my incredible
banana Berry

whole wheat pancakes,

with maplely, sir?

Yes! You remembered!
When can we eat?

When, when, when? They
sound so good and I'm so hungry!

Ok, well, first we have
to mix up the batter,

and heat up the griddle
and watch them cook!

This is an old bear recipe

handed down
from bear to bear, you know.

Can I help, Bear,
can I help too?

Sure, Ojo!

Yayyyyyy! We're making pancakes!

We're making big
old fluffy pancakes.

Hey, Bear, I'm going to go
get snow bear, ok?

And she can help me too, ok?

-Ok.
-Ok.

See you soon, Ojo!

Yeah. Cooking.

Cooking.

Yep!

And what is neat
about cooking is

you can do it
with your mom and dad,

or your grandma, or an uncle...
or even a friend!

Personally, I like all the neat
things about cooking like...

let's see...

Oh! Measuring things.

And all the mixing
and stirring...

And...

watching it cook.

Ooh...
There's also the waiting. Mmm...

Waiting is the hardest part
about cooking.

But when it's done...

then, you get to eat it!

Yeah,
cooking and the neat part is,

you've made it yourself!

♪ If you take hot milk
and you pour in powder ♪

♪ And you put it in the freezer
and you leave it 'bout an hour ♪

♪ If it's brown and sweet
when you put it on your tongue ♪

♪ Did you make French fries?
No, pudding, yum! ♪

♪ If you mush an apple ♪

♪ And you squoosh a lemon ♪

♪ Squish an orange ♪

♪ And squash a melon ♪

♪ And you pour it in a glass
and you serve it for lunch ♪

♪ Is it liver and onions?
No, it's punch! ♪

♪ Magic in the kitchen ♪

♪ With a splash and a splatter ♪

♪ Magic in the kitchen
with abracadabra ♪

♪ There's magic
in a cake and a casserole ♪

♪ And the very best part's
when you lick the bowl ♪

[licking]

♪ Peel a banana,
drop it in a dish ♪

♪ Add some ice cream
and nuts if you wish ♪

♪ Dribble some syrup all over
Is it fish? ♪

♪ No, a banana split! ♪

Now, listen carefully.

♪ I make my favorite recipe
with chopped up cheese ♪

♪ Melted chocolate
and pear and peas ♪

♪ Stir it all together
with an avocado ♪

♪ What do I call it? ♪

♪ I don't know, how about ♪

♪ Magic in the kitchen ♪

♪ With a splash and a splatter ♪

♪ Magic in the kitchen

♪ Magic in a cake
and a casserole ♪

♪ And the very best part's

[licking]

There's so many
neat things to cook.

But, what do you think?

What do you like to cook? Hm?

What do you think?

My dad cooks spaghetti,
mashed potatoes and corn.

I help my dad make French toast.

I love it when my mom makes me
a burger with French fries.

I cook banana bread.

You have to just
crack eggs first.

I roll the meat ball like this.

When it's finished,

we take it out, let it cool.

Put it on a plate.

[laughing]

And then eat it.

Yummy!

Yummy, yummy!

Wow!

All that talking about cooking
is making me hungry.

Maybe I'll have one or two
of those pancakes myself.

Well, c'mon. Let's get started.

[indistinct chatting]

Hey, Bear!
Look who I found to help!

Hey, Bear!

Pip and Pop, are you going
to help make pancakes?

Yeah, Bear! We'll help you cook!

Oh!

This will be interesting.

When we heard you were
making your incredible

banana Berry wheat cakes,

we just had to help!

-And we'll help eat them, too.
-Yeah.

Pip and Pop were
just telling me that

they are really good cooks
just like you, Bear.

Really? I didn't know that
you guys knew how to cook.

Um...

What do you cook?

Bear, we have so many...

Many...

-Many...
-Specialities!

Really?

Yeah, like,
we like stomping on apples

that fall off the tree
out by the pond...

-To make apple sauce!
-Yeah.

But we don't eat it.

Nope, too dirty.

Well, it's always good to have
cooks with... experience.

-Bear!
-Yes, Ojo?

Snow Bear and I are really,
really, really hungry!

Well then, let's start cooking!

[cheering]

First, we'll need a bowl...

We'll get that!

Gotta bowl, Bear!

Well, that was fast.

Okay,
next we'll need a measuring cup.

Can I get it, Bear? Can I?

-Sure, Ojo.
-Okay.

-Measuring cup!
-Okay.

Now if I could just
find my wooden...

Spoon.

Boy.
Certainly do have a lot of help.

Yeah, can we eat now, Bear?

Yeah, can we eat now, Bear?

Guys, we haven't actually
cooked anything yet.

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

No!

No way!

That was fun, Treelo.
Lots of fun,

but I don't think
I'll be doing that again!

Hey, Tutter, Treelo,
what have you two been doing?

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

-That sounds like fun.
-Fun? Fun?

I thought he said
"see some bees"

not "fly through the trees"!

Thanks a lot, Treelo!
Thanks a lot!

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

Treelo! If mice were supposed
to fly through trees

we'd have wings.

We'd we'd we'd be bats! Bats!

Bats I say!

Hey, what's going on here?

Are you guys cooking something?

Yeah! We're making pancakes!

Yes, we're making a mess

of my incredible banana
berry wheat pancakes,

and Ojo,
Pip and Pop are helping!

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

Yeah,
that goes for me too, Bear!

Let's see,
I've got a lot of help now,

but, if you two really want to
help, you could set the table!

What a great idea! Great idea!

I just love setting
a nice table.

Just love it, love it, love it!

Laying out
the napkins all neat...

putting the plates just right,

lining up the silverware
eyeballing it there...

Pip, what's a plate?

Got me.

Well, c'mon.

I'll get you two started.
Be right back!

Ok, you guys,
here are the plates.

Good. All right, we got to...

Yes, Treelo, yes.

Whoah, Treelo, no, no, no!

That's wrong, wrong, wrong!

You can't just throw
the plates around like that!

My grandma Flutter taught me!

You have to place them!
Place them just right!

Yeah!

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

What paper?

No, no, no, Treelo, Treelo!

No, you gotta fold the napkin
like, like a swan

and then you got to place it

right in the center
of the plate,

like a swan!

The way you're doing it
is wrong, wrong, wrong!

Tutter, just because
Treelo's way is different,

doesn't mean it's wrong.

Well... well
maybe it's not wrong, Bear,

but the problem is, Bear,
the problem is, it's not right!

Sheesh!

Well, tell you what,
I have an idea.

Treelo,
you be in charge of the plates.

Plates! Ok, plates.

Tutter, you be in charge
of the silverware.

Well, I know how to do that!

My grandma Flutter taught me.

I learned from the best!
The best!

And together, you two will be
in charge of the napkins.

Together?

Together?

I don't think
this is going to work, Bear.

Well,
let's just forget the napkins!

Well, then that changes
everything about pancakes.

Well, you know how pancakes
can be kind of messy...

And kind of sticky with syrup.

Hey, hey, hey! Let's not be
hasty, Bear, let's not be hasty.

We've got to have
napkins to eat pancakes.

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

Yeah, so maybe the two
of you together,

can think of a new way to...

Wait a second, Bear!

Wait a second!

I just got a brilliant idea!

If Treelo and I...
now stay with me here, Bear.

Just stay with me
on this one, Bear.

What if we make up
a totally new way

of putting napkins on the table?

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

What a great idea.
I wish I'd thought of it.

Well, I'll leave you
two to your creation.

Thank you, Bear!

-ALL: Bear! Bear! C'mon!
-Okay, okay, I'm coming.

Alright, alright.

Hey Bear, can we eat now?

Guys, we still
haven't cooked anything yet.

Come on, let's get started,
let's get going!

-Yeah!
-Okay.

But first we will need flour,
eggs and milk.

We'll get those things, Bear!

I can almost taste
those pancakes now.

We got it, Bear!

[indistinct chatting]

I got the eggs.

Fire when ready,
purple egg hurler.

But wait... Guys...

-Fire one!
-Okay.

Missed it.

-Fire two!
-C'mon.

Missed it.

-Fire three!
-I get you.

Got it!

I got the flour, Bear!

Ojo, watch out,
don't slip on the...

We gotcha! Whoa!

Eggs.

Are you all right, Ojo?

I'm fine, Bear,
I just slipped a little bit.

Ok, ok, yes, yes, yes.

But, let's clean this up first,
and then we'll start over.

We love starting over!

-I'll get the paper towels!
-Yeah, yeah!

Yeah...

Well, this is going well.

Okay, this is better.

Now, do you want to stir?

We love stirring!

Yeah! Stirring is
the mostest funnest of allest!

Yeah!

Okay, you guys keep stirring
and I'll be right back.

Ok, Bear!

Ok, Bear. Here we go.

[indistinct conversation]

While they're stirring,

now might be a good time
to find my friend, Shadow.

Now where could she be?

You know, if we sing
our song together,

maybe she'll might appear!

Hi, Shadow!
What have you been doing?

I've been playing leapfrog
with the ripples on the pond.

That sounds like fun.

Well Shadow, we'd love to hear
a story if you've got one.

Well, say no more, Bear.

I think I have just the story
you'd be needing today.

[both laughing]

-Bye, Bear.
-Bye, Shadow!

Let's go check

Then we fold there and there...
And yeah!

I think this is gonna work...

[giggling]

Here, too?

Yeah! Great idea, Treelo!
Great idea!

Hey, Bear!

Hi, Bear!

Hey, guys. Everything's working?

Yeah, Bear! We've got
everything under control.

It's under control!
Right, Treelo?

[Treelo speaking gibberish]

Okay, just checking, c'mon.
Let's go check on the stirring.

This is great!

Look, Bear, look!

Yeah, Bear, look, check it out!
Look at this, look at this.

We stirred it all up!

Wow! It looks great!

Yeah.

I really think
we should eat it now, Bear.

-Yeah. I think it's done.
-No, not just yet.

First, I need to get my...

Pancake griddle!

[cheering]

Then we'll cook them up!

And then the pancakes
will be ready in...

no time!

[everyone exclaiming]

PIP: Look at that!

Yeah, it's something!

Yes, pancakes are served!

Tutter and Treelo,

may I say what a lovely job
you did setting the table!

[gibberish]

What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We made tee-pees!

Yeah, little napkin tee-pees.
How exciting.

Bear?

Well, the tee-pees
look great and everything...

Yeah, they really do,
but can we eat now?

[laughing]

Yes, dig in everybody!

[excitedly shouting]

This looks so good!

[indistinct conversation]

Boy. That was so good, so good.

Very satisfying.

[burps]

Excuse me.

Well. I have a sure fire cure

for the after pancake
sleepies...

What's that, Bear?

Well, it's a job
that has to be done

after you're finished cooking.

So, what do you say...

Uh! There's Luna!

Hey, Luna.

Hello, Bear.

My,

[sniffing]

What's that wonderful aroma
coming from the Big Blue House?

Oh! I cooked everybody
a special dish today.

My favorite thing to cook.

Banana Berry wheat pancakes!

[giggling]

You've loved those ever
since you were a little bear.

Yeah, and I had a lot of help!

You did?

Ojo, Pip and Pop were very...

helpful.

Really.

Every chef needs his helpers.

And what about those other two?
Tutter and Treelo?

Oh! [giggles]

You should have seen them
working together.

They came up with a whole
new way to set the table.

Isn't that grand?

But tell me, did everyone
enjoy the pancakes?

Did they ever?

I don't ever think
I've tasted pancakes that good.

Well, I've always thought
that food tastes better

when it's shared
with friends and family.

True, true.

Well, Bear,

I think it's time for me
to go and light up the sky.

I don't want the night
to get lonely without me.

Hey Luna, would you
join me in singing

a goodbye song
with me before you go?

I'd be delighted, Bear.

I'd be delighted.
