Hi! It's me, Molly, and it's time for...

(Gil): A penguin!

Waddle, waddle!

(giggles)

- It's time for... - A penguin!

Waddle, waddle!

- It's time for... - Penguin?

Waddle... Waddle, waddle?

Come on, Penguin! You can do it!

Just step up to the edge and...

Whoa! Whoa!

(all laugh)

It's time for Bubble Guppies!

Waddle, waddle!

Come on, follow us!

Hello!

Hi!

Hi there!

Hi!

Good morning, Mr. Grouper.

Well, good morning, every-- oh!

- Whoa! - It's a bird!

- A little birdie! - Aww!

I love birds.

Well, "Tweet-tweet" to you too!

(chirps) - Mmhmm.

What's it saying?

No idea. I don't speak bird.

(all laugh)

- Bye birdie. - There it goes!

I wish I was a bird so I could fly!

(all laugh and cheer)

That would be cool!

But not every bird can fly.

There are birds that can't fly?

That's right.

All birds have feathers and wings.

But some birds have wings that are too small to help them fly.

Yes. They're called flightless birds.

Like an ostrich!

Wow, that's a big flightless bird!

And a kiwi!

They're little flightless birds.

Waddle, waddle. Waddle, waddle.

What kind of flightless bird are you, Nonny?

I'm a penguin.

They can't fly...

But they can swim really fast.

And they waddle like this.

Waddle, waddle. Waddle, waddle.

Waddle, waddle. Waddle, waddle.

How about you? Have you ever seen a penguin?

Oh, okay!

Let's think some more about flightless birds.

Most birds can fly.

But there are some who can't, like an ostrich and a...

Penguin.

A penguin! Right!

And instead of flying through the air,

a penguin can swim really fast in cold...

- Water! - Yup!

Other birds, like ostriches,

get around by running on their...

Legs!

That's right, legs!

I still wish I was a bird,

so I could fly, swim and run!

Tweet-Tweet!

That's bird talk for--

Waddle waddle. Waddle waddle.

I'm a penguin.

I'm an ostrich!

And I'm a kiwi!

We're in a race with other birds.

Once upon a time...

Birds of every feather were flocking together

at the North Pole for a big event called...

The Fastest Feather Race!

(applause)

That's right, Gil.

Today, two teams of birds will race halfway around the world

to see who's the fastest!

So, let's meet our first bird team!

Gil, they're not up in the air...

I thought they were birds.

They are! But they don't fly.

They're flightless birds!

Introducing Penguin Nonny,

Ostrich Oona,

and Kiwi Goby!

(applause)

(barks)

Now let's meet team number two!

They're fast.

They're fleet.

They're tough to beat!

Introducing...

Amelia and The Flyers!

Woah!

(applause)

Whoa. What an entrance!

A little flashy.

So, Zooli, who else will be flying on Amelia's team today?

It looks like...

Amelia's here all by herself?

That's right!

Who needs a team when you've got...

These!

(applause)

Boy, Amelia has a lot of feathers.

I mean fans.

That's cause she's a Peregrine Falcon,

the fastest bird in the air!

This is gonna be some race!

(barks)

Okay team, we may not be able to fly,

but we can do lots of other things.

Most important, we're a team.

Wings in.

Go Team Flightless!

(scoffs) Who needs a team?

(Molly): This epic race will go over land and sea!

All the way to the finish line at the South Pole!

And the winner of today's race gets this!

Fastest Feather Trophy!

That trophy's gonna look great in my nest.

See you at the finish line, Team Flightless!

(laughs)

Alright, racers!

On your marks...

Get set...

Fly!

Sorry, I meant go!

(applause)

(Gil): Whoa!

Looks like Team Flightless is in trouble already!

None of them can fly over the water...

What will they do?

Hmmm...

Hop on.

Whoa!

Now this is a cool idea!

And good teamwork!

Go Team Flightless.

Whoa, looks like Team Flightless is doing just...

swimmingly!

(giggles) What a race!

(squawks)

A penguin pulling an ice floe with a kiwi and an ostrich?

Now I've seen everything.

They think they can catch up to me?

No way!

I've gotta watch 'em like a--

And watch where I'm going...

(Gil): And Team Flightless takes the lead!

Amelia doesn't have a team, so she needs to be extra careful,

cause there's no one else to help her along.

And the race continues!

As both teams head to sunny, hot Africa...

Phew!

Uhh, guys?

Wasn't this bigger a little while ago?

Oh no! The ice is melting!

but their ice floe was starting to melt, fast!

Uh oh. I need to speed up.

- Hurry, Nonny! - Faster, Nonny!

- It's getting smaller! - Hurry!

- Whew. - We made it!

That was close!

We can definitely outrun Amelia and win this race now!

Right, Nonny?

Nonny?

(panting) I'm coming...

Penguins are fast in the water,

but not on land.

(screeches)

My, my. What do we have here?

Is Team Flightless slowing down?

No way, we can still win this race!

Darling, don't talk the talk unless you can walk the walk!

(laughs)

(groan)

We have something she doesn't have, though.

We're a team.

And we can win this race if we work together!

Ostriches are the fastest running birds in the world!

How about I do the running, and you ride along?

Ride along in what?

(Deema): Did someone say "ride"?

Well, you've certainly come to the right place!

I'm Deema!

Welcome to my Wheel Emporium!

We've got bicycles, strollers, scooters, and much, much more!

If you need wheels, I'll make you a deal!

This wheelbarrow is perfect!

You guys can sit in here and I could push it!

Then let's get you rolling!

Thanks, Deema!

- Don't mention it. - Hang onto your feathers!

Here we go!

Whoa!

- You're really fast! - Thanks!

I can go even faster.

But I'm gonna need your help to speed up!

Ostriches can run up to miles an hour!

Let's count by tens to get me all the way to !

Start with !

!

!

!

!

Woo hoo! Now I'm going miles an hour!

Thanks for your help!

Go Team Flightless!

(Gil): Whoa! Look at 'em go!

Team Flightless is going full speed!

They're gonna pass Amelia!

La de da.

This race is gonna be so easy to win.

Ooh, and I know just where to put my new trophy.

Right in front of my, oh, whoa!

Wait a... What is that?

Hooray!

Are you kidding me? If they keep up all this teamwork,

they might beat me!

Nuh-uh! I'm the fast-- oof!

I'm okay.

Just wish someone would've said,

"Hey Amelia, watch out for the tree."

Oh right, I don't have a team.

Team Flightless just left Amelia in the dust!

What an exciting race!

Excuse me.

What time is it?

It's time for lunch!

I got a salad and a burrito!

What did you get, Molly?

I got a taco and guacamole!

What did you get, Gil?

I got a taco and...

(squawks)

Squawk-amole?

Ahh!

(all laugh)

Squawk-amole?

That's silly!

And squawky!

And now, back to the race!

Team Flightless is in the lead!

But Amelia is right behind them.

Who knew ostriches were so fast?

But I'm fast too!

Right, team?

Oh, right. It's just me.

(squawks and grunts)

Looks like Amelia's getting tired.

And she still needs to cross the savanna

to get to the ocean and finish up the race.

Uh-oh, look!

Those are some strong Namibia Winds coming their way.

This race is about to get pretty windy!

Yes!

We falcons love the wind. Bring it on!

(squawks)

See ya at the finish line!

(laughs)

Ooof.

The wind is giving Amelia a big boost!

She'll get to the ocean in no time!

Hang in there, Team Flightless!

We just need to keep going!

- Yeah! - Onward.

Oh no! The wind knocked down the sign!

Which way is the ocean?

- I don't know. - Not to worry, team!

It's kiwi time!

Kiwi time? What's that?

Kiwis can smell stuff that's really far away!

So if we can't see the ocean...

- I can smell it! - Incredible.

But we're gonna need your help.

There are three paths,

but only one will get us to the ocean.

We need your help to figure out

which path smells like the ocean.

Let's see.

I smell grass.

Seaweed.

And a flower!

Which path do you think leads to the ocean?

The middle one!

With the seaweed!

Right! There's lots of seaweed in the ocean.

So, if I can smell seaweed, this is the right path!

Thanks for your help!

This way to the ocean!

Go, Team Flightless!

We found the beach!

Your beak is amazing.

Thanks! I have an idea.

Let's build another raft with Oona's wheelbarrow!

- Good idea. - Let's do it!

Here we are in the South Pole at the finish line,

where cheering fans are waiting to see

who will win the Fastest Feather Race!

(all cheer)

Team Flightless is swimming to the south pole.

And Amelia's still in first place.

But it's pretty cold up there, and there's ice on her wings!

(Zooli): It's really weighing her down.

I may be freezing,

but I'm still a Peregrine Falcon!

The fastest bird in the-- Oof!

Our snowman...

Uh, go Amelia?

Outta the way! I've got a race to win!

Ugh! My wings are frozen!

But there's the finish line!

I've gotta make a run for it.

(cheering)

Whoa!

Ooh man.

We're almost there.

We're right behind you, Penguin Nonny!

Whoa!

Penguin Nonny! It's too slippery!

Oh no.

were both trying to make it to the finish line,

but it was too slippery.

Someone has to win this race!

But who?

What's Nonny doing?

He's tobogganing!

Tobogganing is when penguins slide on their bellies

through snow and ice!

Whee.

If we toboggan, we can all cross the finish line.

Come on.

Whee!

Oh, ahh, no!

Whoa!

(grunting)

Oh no! Amelia's in trouble!

She's trapped in the snow!

(all gasp) Poor Amelia!

(squawks)

Help! I'm stuck!

(squawks)

Amelia's stuck!

We've gotta help her.

C'mon, team.

Wow! Do you see what I'm seeing?

Yup! I can't believe it!

Team Flightless is going back to save Amelia!

Don't worry, Amelia.

You're coming with us.

Oh, thank you...

But my wings are frozen!

I can't fly.

Neither can we! But we can toboggan!

Just flop down and go!

Okay. Here I go!

Whoa!

And I thought I was fast in the air!

Whee!

(all cheer)

I've never seen anything like it!

They're all tobogganing together!

(Zooli): And it's a tie!

All the birds win!

Team Flightless and Amelia!

So who wins the trophy?

Well, there's only one winner who deserves that trophy.

And it's not me.

Team Flightless are the real winners today!

- Us? - Whoa.

I never would've finished this race without you.

I was wrong about teamwork.

Thanks, Team Flightless.

Hey, maybe next time we can be on the same team?

Me? On a team?

You got it!

(all squawk)

(Deema):And so, Penguin Nonny, Ostrich Oona, Kiwi Goby

and Amelia the Peregrine Falcon became fine feathered friends.

And they all flapped happily ever after!

(all cheer)

- What a race! - That was fun!
