Careful, Dinah, that's my homework.

If you mess it up, I'll have to redo it.

Wait, that's another one! Redo.

I'm listing words that use prefixes.

Letters you add to the front of a word
to change what it means.

The prefix "re" means again.

When I say I don't want
to do my homework again,

-I mean, I don't want to redo it.
-[meows]

Okay, I'll give you another example.

I've entered this mirror before,
and now I'm reentering it. [chuckles]

[lighthearted music playing]

Ooh! There you are, Your Majesty.

Aren't you gonna finish your breakfast?

You finish the last bran muffin, Rabbit.

-I'm anxious to get going.
-Going?

-To where, Your Majesty?
-I'll give you a hint.

-To return those silly blue gloves?
-No.

I'm going blueberry picking
on Blueberry Hill,

and I'm wearing these 'cause
blueberry stains won't show on them.

Oh. If you're going out in the hot sun
to pick blueberries,

then you should have something
to drink first.

-How about some nice grape juice?
-Oh, careful.

Don't give me grape juice while
I'm sitting on the throne. It might spill.

[gasps] Sorry, Your Majesty.

Anyway, I'm not thirsty.
I want to get going.

[laughs] After all,
the blueberries are calling me.

Funny, I don't hear anything.

Oh, Rabbit.

[upbeat music playing]

Loads of luscious blueberries
On the hill

I'm gonna keep picking
Till I get my fill

Nutritious, delicious, naturally sweet

As much fun to pick as they are to eat

I can't imagine anything more fun

Than picking blueberries under the sun

I pluck those berries
Among the flowers

I'm singing with the birdies
For hours and hours

Loads of luscious blueberries
On the hill

I'm gonna keep picking
Till I get my fill

Nutritious, delicious, naturally sweet

As much fun to pick as they are to eat

Lots of luscious blueberries

They give me such a thrill

I'm gonna have good time

I'm picking blueberries on the hill

Loads of luscious blueberries
On the hill

I'm gonna keep picking
Till I get my fill

Nutritious, delicious
And naturally sweet

As much fun to pick as they are to eat

Well, it's off to Blueberry Hill.

-So long, Rabbit. [laughing]
-Ooh!

Oh!

-Pleasant picking.
-Oh...

[lighthearted music playing]

Ooh!

[sighs]

-Hi, Mr. Rabbit!
-[gasps] I wasn't--

I-- Oh, Alice. Thank heavens.
I thought you were the queen.

[chuckles] She's taller.
Here's your muffin.

Oh. Taller? Yes. Nice to see you...

Oh, carrot sticks.

I've spilled grape juice
all over my best vest.

Oh, well, at least,
I didn't spill any on the-- [gasps]

The throne!

Oh, no, I've spilled grape juice
on the throne!

Oh, this is bad. This is very bad.

A wet towel! I need a wet towel!

Gee, it isn't really working.

In fact, it seems to be making
the stain even [gasps] bigger!

Now it's really obvious!

Oh, the queen's going to notice for sure.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Okay. Okay. No need to panic...

After all, the queen isn't here
to see it yet.

Silly me! I forgot my blueberry bucket.
Oh, hello, Alice.

-Uh, no. You can't go up there.
-What?

I mean, let me get your bucket for you.

Oh, no. I can't do it.

-Alice! Alice wants to do it.
-Yes. That's right.

[laughing nervously]

-Here you go, Your Majesty.
-Thank you, Alice.

-Uh, Rabbit.
-[gasps] What?

You shouldn't take so much sugar
in your morning tea. It makes you jumpy.

Oh, jumpy, rabbit. Good one. [laughs]

[exhales loudly] Oh, that was close.
That was really close.

[gasping]

All right, Alice.
Here's what we're going to do.

I'm going to the caterpillar
to see if he has any ideas

on getting grape juice stains out.

As for you...

I need you to follow the queen
to Blueberry Hill

and make sure
she stays picking blueberries

for as long as possible.

Oh, and, Alice.

Thanks for the help. [laughs, then yells]

[sighs]

[mellow music playing]

Oh, Caterpillar, there you are.

Uh, excuse me,
but I need some advice, right away.

What's that? Advice?

Of course. Glad to help.
What is it you need?

Well, I-- I just wanted--

I say I wanted-- I was going to...

[sighs]

Well, what is it? Go ahead, speak up,
I thought you said you were in a hurry.

Yes.

I've had a slight mishap.

I spilled grape juice
on the queen's throne,

and I-- I can't seem-- I-- I...

What do you know about
cleaning royal upholstery?

Well, for one thing,
I'd suggest you listen to this story.

[Rabbit sighs]

"Once upon a time in Ancient Greece,
there was a young man named Elbow.

Elbow loved to clean things,
so he started a cleaning business.

He was very successful
at getting spots out of things.

He got spots out of clothes.

He got spots off of floors.

[grunting]

Even got spots off of dogs.

Elbow soon became famous
for getting spots out.

He became so famous
that the king sent for Elbow

to find out the secret of his success.

'How do you do it?' asked the king.

'Yes, please tell us,'
said all the citizens.

So Elbow whispered, 'My secret...

...is extra hard work.'

'Ah,' said all the citizens.

'Extra hard work is the secret
to Elbow's success.'

And they passed the story
on to their children.

And their children's children
and so on, and so on.

Until this very day, when there is
a hard job that requires extra effort,

we still say, 'What this needs
is Elbow of Greece.'"

Well, that was lovely, I don't--
Wait a minute.

I thought the expression for hard work
was elbow grease, not Elbow of Greece.

Either way, you gotta use plenty of it.

That and my special recipe
for spot remover from this book.

Oh, uh...

"Caterpillar's Helpful Household Hints:
Every--

Everything You Need
to Keep a Clean Cocoon."

Sounds great.

It is.

But you must follow
the directions very carefully.

Oh, yes. Yes. Goodbye.

Mm.

[sighs]

Let's see now.

One cup baking soda.

Two pinches of salt.

A dash of pepper.

[chuckles]

Gee, if it doesn't work as spot remover,
I could always make biscuits. [laughs]

[lighthearted music playing]

Let's see.

The final ingredient.

Blue food coloring?

That's odd.

Oh, well. Maybe blue colored spot-remover
attracts blue colored spots.

[humming]

-Yo, yo, yo, Rabbit!
-Yo, yo, yo. Hello.

We smelled something funny from outside.
It's from whatever you're mixing up.

Oh, yes, that's right. Strong stuff.

I can see that. You'll have that
red throne turned all blue in no time.

Blue? No, no, no.

I'm getting rid of the blue.
You see, this spot remover--

[exclaims]

I don't understand.

I followed the recipe
for the spot remover to the letter.

Spot remover? No.
That recipe is on Page 86.

This is open to Page 99
to a recipe for blue hair dye.

[gasps] Blue hair dye? [gasps] Oh, dear.

I've turned a small ugly stain
into a big ugly one.

Oh, dear. The queen's gonna hit the roof
when she sees this stain on her throne.

Don't worry, Rabbit. You may be in a spot.

-Because of a spot.
-But we'll help you out of it.

[hip-hop music playing]

You're in quite a spot

♪ But it's friends you've got ♪

You're in quite a spot

Well, you rub and scrub

To get yourself out of trouble
On the double now

It's a mess, I confess
But no need for hopelessness

Because we're going to try
To help our friend get by

So don't frown, hang your head down
Or pout, we're going to help you out

Yeah, we're going to help you
Untie the knot

Of a tangled mess of trouble

Because of a spot

You're in quite a spot
But it's friends you've got

You're in quite a spot
But we'll help you get out

You're in quite a spot
You're in quite a spot

Yeah, we'll help you out

Yes, it's quite a spot

[Dee] While my brother rubs on a little of
Caterpillar's properly made spot remover,

I'll warm up the handy-dandy spot sander.

[whirring]

[shouting] Are you sure
that won't hurt the upholstery?

I say, I-- You know the cloth
on the queen throne is very delicate.

Don't worry, Rabbit, when used correctly,

the spot sander's perfectly safe
for all upholstery.

By the way, you better wear these.

Stand back, everyone.

[whirring]

-All done, Dee?
-Yup, I think I got it all--

-Oops.
-"Oops"?

Oh, no. Don't say oops.

Oops always means something bad.

Rabbit, I've got good news
and I've got bad news.

The good news is the stain is gone.

And the bad news is the stain is gone.

[gasps]

[yells] You sanded a hole in it!

It's that obvious, huh?

Obvious? How could you miss it? It's huge!

You-- You-- You could fit a horse
through a hole that big.

Fit a horse through it? No way.

Miniature poodle, maybe.

[whirs]

[lighthearted music playing]

Ooh, there's one.
A nice, nice berry right there.

Oh! Oh...

Blueberry picking is hard
on my royal sacroiliac.

I think I'll head home.

Oh, wait, Your Majesty. Don't you want
to keep picking blueberries?

Why? My bucket is full.

And all I want to do is go home

and let Rabbit bake a fresh batch
of blueberry muffins

and rest my weary bones
on my nice soft throne.

The throne. No! You don't want to do that.

I don't?

We've got more buckets to fill.

But why would I need that many
blueberries. No, one bucket is enough.

Oh, sure,
if all you want are blueberry muffins.

But what about blueberry pancakes?

-Blueberry tarts?
-Tarts.

-Blueberry pie?
-Blueberry pie.

-Blueberry cheesecake?
-Cheesecake.

And homemade blueberry ice cream.

Why not?

Oh, gee, all those things do sound good.

-[sighs] It's too bad.
-Too bad?

You mean, you're not going
to keep picking blueberries?

Oh, no. I didn't mean that at all.

What I meant was, it's too bad
you'd bring more buckets.

Come on, Alice,
we're just getting started.

All right!

Gee, I've heard of walking the dog,
but walking a throne?

Oh, leave me alone, Cat.

I have enough trouble today as it is.

Rabbit, I'm hurt.

You know that when a bunny's in trouble,
I'm always there to lend a helping paw.

Yes. Well, I'm afraid there's nothing
you can do to help with this.

-Just look at the throne. It's ruined.
-Mmm.

Well, if the throne is ruined,

then the queen
won't be wanting it anymore.

And I'd be happy to take it off your hands
and use it as a scratching post.

-[meows]
-A scratching post? Never. Shoo!

All right. All right.

Boy, you try to do a Rabbit a favor. Hmph.

A scratching post, indeed.

[mischievous music playing]

[humming]


Excuse me.

[continues humming]

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Hare.

Would you mind getting off?

Why? This isn't my stop.

-I mean--
-Oh, silly me!

Here's my ticket.

Hare, this is not the Wonderland
public transportation.

Well, I should hope not, I mean,
talk about your uncomfortable seats.

[gasps] This is the queen's throne.

Oh! Oh.

I've had a slight mishap with it.

First, I spilled grape juice on it.

And when I tried to get that out,
I made the stain even larger.

And when the Tweedles tried to help me,

they accidentally sanded a hole in it.

Why don't you just get it reupholstered,
you know, put all new cloth on it.

There's no time. The queen will be back
from blueberry picking quite soon.

Well, then it's lucky I found you.

It just so happens that the Hatter and I
are experts at reupholstering.

"Hatter and Hare.
Experts at reupholstering."

Uh-huh.

Mm-hm.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Yes.

Rabbit, I've got good news.

I think the throne is going
to pull through.

Leave it to us.

We'll patch up this cushion
along with your problems.

[upbeat music playing]

Stand aside and makes some room

There's little time and a lot to do

-♪ Organize
-♪ Round up supplies

Ready now and improvise

Looks like a job that we can do

We'll make this throne as good as new

Uh, where's the glue?

A sticky situation

Requires expertise

We'll patch things up

We'll patch things up

It would be good if we had some hints

All you need is confidence

-♪ I'll use this
-♪ And I'll use that

Ready, Rabbit, stand back

There's not a job that we can't do

We'll make this throne as good as new

♪ Aha! I found the glue ♪

We'll work this out together

We are quite the team

We'll patch things up

We'll patch things up

[both chuckle]

I don't know. Won't putting a patch
over the hole be very obvious?

You won't even see it.
We'll take a new piece of cloth,

cut it to the exact size of the hole

and carefully sew it in place
from underneath.

It will be impossible to tell
where the old upholstery ends

and the patch begins.

Well, I-I-I don't know.

-Rabbit? Trust us!
-Trust us!

After all, Hare and I are graduates of
the Wonderland Academy of Throne Repair.

[sighs]

Oh, well, I suppose you can't make it
any worse than it already is.

-Great. Shall we, Hare?
-Yes.

[speaking indistinctly]

[Hare scatting]

[gasps]

Relax, Rabbit. We'll be done in no time.

See? He trusts us so much,
he decided to take a nap.

-Ah! Look, I found a dime.
-[laughs]

Rabbit, Rabbit, wake up.

Good news, Rabbit.

The throne is completely repaired,
redone, remade.

-Reupholstered?
-No, we just patched it.

But you can't even tell.

Here, close your eyes...

and feel this.

Why-- Why, you're right.
It's perfectly smooth.

It's not obvious at all.

I can't even tell it's been patched.

Oh, this is wonderful.

I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

No problem, let's go find the Tweedles

to help us get this back to the palace
before the queen returns.

[gasps]

What have you done? The patch is blue!

Actually, that particular shade
is called periwinkle.

We were out of red cloth.
That's not a problem, is it?

I think it's a problem.

-[Hatter] Back, back, back.
-[Hare] Back, back, back.

[Hare] Up. up.

-[Hatter] Forward. Forward. Perfect.
-[Hare] Whoa.

Don't worry, Rabbit.

The queen might be
a little angry at first,

but I'm sure in the end,
she'll understand.

On the other hand, at this moment,
I'm really glad I'm not you.

Same here.

[Dee] Your Majesty, Alice.

So, uh, how'd it go?

Fine, until I caught my heel
in a gopher hole

and fell right in the middle
of the blueberry patch.

Yes, but before that,
we picked enough blueberries

to keep everyone in muffins for a month.

A month?

So, Rabbit, what did you do
while I was gone?

I meant to leave you a list
of things to do, but I forgot.

I imagine you were bored to tears.

She's got the tears part right.

Actually, Your Majesty, I've been--

Oh, wonderful, glad to hear it.
Tell me more after I sit down. [laughs]

[sighs]

What are you all staring at?

Well, actually...

Actually, Your Majesty, uh,

I've something to tell you, I...
You know, it's, uh...

It's about your throne, I...

Oh, carrot sticks!
I might as well come right out and say it.

Your Majesty, I'm afraid
your throne has a spot on it.

What do you mean?

Oh, good grief! Look at that?
It's a big blue blotch. Oh!

Oh, Your Majesty,
I can explain everything.

No, no. No reason to explain.

You know, Rabbit, it's kind of funny.

[all laugh nervously]

Stop that!

I don't mean funny "ha-ha."

I mean funny as in unusual or strange.

My point is, earlier today,

I told you not to bring grape juice
near my throne because it might spill.

I know, and I'm so terribly sorry.

And yet, here I go carelessly
sitting on the throne

when my robe has
squashed blueberries on it.

-See?
-Right!

That happened when you fell
into the blueberry patch.

But this spot on your throne
is not from your robe.

Oh, sure it is. Anyone can see that.

No, I'm queen enough to admit
when I make a mistake.

Of course, the funny thing is,

since you'll be the one fixing my mistake,

it's no big deal to admit it. [laughs]

That time I meant funny as in "ha-ha."

[all laugh]

So you're not angry about
the blue spot on your throne?

Oh, not at all.

In fact, I wouldn't care
if Rabbit had spilled

a whole pitcher of grape juice on it.

-You wouldn't have?
-No.

The cushion was all worn out anyway.

You see, what I forgot to tell you was

that I wanted you to take the throne in
today to be completely reupholstered.

Gee, isn't life funny?

Funny "ha-ha" and funny strange.

How true that is.

You know, I think we've all learned
an important lesson here,

wouldn't you say so, Rabbit? Mm?

Oh, yes. Certainly, certainly.

And as soon I've figured out what it is,
I'll let you know.

Gee, I guess all I can is
sometimes things take a funny twist.

[pop music playing]

The party you thought
You were late for

Had already been moved instead

And when you thought
You were a bit behind

You've find that you were really
Way ahead

The message you couldn't answer

Says, hey, I'm running late

Isn't it funny?

You can work yourself
Into such a state

It's a funny twist

It's a funny twist

The things we thought we missed

It's a funny twist

Went to that nouveau restaurant

Found it wasn't really new

I bought a new outfit
In the latest fashion

But it came from 1962

It's a funny twist

It's a funny twist

It's a funny twist

It's a funny twist

Well, Dinah, I thought of a few more words
using the prefix R-E.

There's, uh, oh-- Rearrange.

Reappear.

Remake.

And of course, reupholster. [chuckles]

-What's wrong, Dinah?
-[meows]

Oh, I know, I'll bet your food bowl
needs to be refilled. [chuckles]

Come on.

[theme music playing]

That's all for now
But we'll see you again

Come back real soon
Now that we're all friends

Where every day is something new

With music, rhyme and a dance or two

Use your imagination
And you'll understand

It's an adventure in Wonderland

Adventure in Wonderland
