And music...

[music playing]

"William Tell Overture,"
written by Gioacchino Rossini.

Hi!

I'm Leo.

My friends and I are flying
in our favorite Rocket ship. Rocket.

Whoo-hoo!

[Quincy]
All right!

[June]
Yay, Rocket!

Rocket can turn into all sorts
of amazing things.

Do you want to see
what Rocket can turn into?

Great.

Sometimes Rocket
needs to swim deep under the water,

so I press the submarine button,

and he turns into
a really fast submarine.

Sometimes he needs
to bounce over big hills,

so I press the pogo bouncer button.

And Rocket
bounces really high and fast.

[all laughing]

When Rocket wants
to ride on train tracks,

I press the train button,

and Rocket turns
into a choo-choo train.

Chuga, chuga, chuga, chuga.

And when Rocket
needs to fly fast through the air,

I press the flying button.

Which one is the flying button?

Right, there it is.

Let's fly.

["William Tell Overture" playing]

Hooray!

[Quincy]
We're flying!

[June]
Incredible!

[June] Rocket needs to fly
his fastest today,

because today is the day
of the Great Sky Race.

To win the Great Sky Race,

Rocket has to fly over
the Pacific Ocean...

[Annie]
Over the Altai Mountains...

[June]
Over the Sahara Desert...

[Leo]
And all the way to the finish line.

[Quincy]
Rocket won the race last year,

and if he wins this year,

he'll win a really big trophy
with wings.

-[June] Ooh!
-[Annie] It's marvelous!

[Annie] Uh-oh, look who else
is here for the race.

Big jet. He's really big.

[Leo]
And really loud.

[all]
Whoa!

And really, really fast.

[Leo]
Whoa!

[Quincy] He's not happy
that Rocket beat him last year.

Big Jet says he's going to make sure
he wins the Great Sky Race this time.

-No matter what.
-[all] Whoa!

Look, look, look!
The race is about to start.

["William Tell Overture" playing]

[crash]

[Rocket dinging]

Uh-oh.

Leo, we've got a problem.

[Rocket dinging]

Rocket says
Big Jet did something bad.

[gasps] I think
he broke one of Rocket's buttons.

Let's see...

He didn't break
the submarine button,

he didn't break
the pogo bouncer button,

he didn't break the train button.

Which button did he break?

The flying button!

Oh, no!

[Annie] Rocket can't fly
without his flying button.

And look, Big Jet is laughing.

He's so mean.

Quincy,
can you fix the flying button?

I can fix it.

But... It's gonna take some time.

But we don't have any time.

The race is about to start.

Poor Rocket.

He can't fly in the Great Sky Race
without his flying button.

[Rocket dinging]

[Leo]
But look.

Rocket's lining up
at the starting line

right next to Big Jet.

He's not giving up.

He still thinks he can win the race.

But how, Rocket?

[buttons dinging]

Oh, yeah.

Rocket can't fly, but he can still be
a really fast submarine.

[Annie]
A very fast pogo bouncer...

[June]
And an extra fast train!

Rocket has all sorts
of ways to go fast.

But to win the race,
Rocket's going to need your help.

Will you help Rocket
win the Great Sky Race?

Terrific! We've got a mission.

We're going to help Rocket
win the Great Sky Race.

Let...

the mission...

begin!

["William Tell Overture" playing]

[Annie]
The race is starting.

[Annie] Look, all the planes
are flying over the Pacific Ocean.

[Quincy]
But Rocket can't fly over the water.

[Rocket dinging]

He can't fly over the water,

but he can turn into something

that goes really fast
under the water!

What can Rocket turn into that goes
really fast under the water?

A submarine.

That's right.

Rocket, transform.

[Quincy]
Yay! Rocket turned into a submarine.

Now, let's help him go really fast
with a submarine blast off!

-[Leo] All right!
-[Annie] Let's go.

[June]
Yeah!

Buckle your seat belts!

[all]
Seatbelts buckled!

Prepare for submarine blast off!

We need to give Rocket a lot of power
to do a submarine blast off.

Put your hands on your lap
and say, "splash!"

Splash, splash, splash, splash,
splash, splash splash, splash.

Faster.

[rapidly] Splash, splash,
splash, splash, splash.

Now raise your arms
as high as you can

and say, "blast off!"

[all]
Blast off!

[June]
Hold on tight 'cause here we go.

[all]
Whoa!

-[Leo] Whoo-hoo!
-[Quincy] All right!

[June]
Wow, Rocket's swimming so fast.

He's going faster
than the blue helicopter.

[Quincy] He's going faster
than the orange plane.

[Annie]
You're amazing, Rocket.

[plane engine roars]

Uh-oh! That sounds like Big Jet.

Big Jet wants to slow Rocket down.

[Annie]
He's making a giant whirlpool.

[all]
Whoa!

It's so big.

[Quincy]
And loud.

[June]
Rocket's spinning.

He can't win the race
if he's going in circles!

[Rocket dinging]

Rocket's getting dizzy.

We need a plan.

I have an idea.

Whirlpool music is big and loud.

If I conduct
the music to get quieter,

diminuendo,

that will make
the whirlpool get smaller.

Good plan, Leo.

But I need your help.

Will you conduct with me
to make the whirlpool get smaller?

Great!

Get your baton ready.

[tapping]

Now put your hands up high
and slowly bring them down lower

to tell the music to get quieter...

diminuendo.

It's working.

The whirlpool music
is getting quieter.

[June]
It's making the whirlpool smaller.

[Annie] But Rocket's still spinning
'round and 'round.

[Rocket dinging]

He's getting so-o-o-o-o dizzy.

Come on, we have to conduct
the whirlpool to get even quieter.

Put your hands up as high as you can

and tell the music to get quieter.

Even quieter.

Diminuendo.

Listen.

Is the music quiet now?

Yes.

We did it!

We made the whirlpool music
so quiet, pianissimo,

now it's just a teeny tiny whirlpool.

[Annie] Rocket's not going 'round
and 'round anymore.

[Rocket dinging]

[Leo]
Rocket says thank you.

-["William Tell Overture" playing]
-[Quincy] Whoo-hoo!

We're back in the race.

[Leo]
Amazing!

Rocket swam all the way across
the Pacific Ocean.

[Annie] But look, Big Jet
and the other flying machines

are flying over
those really big mountains.

That's right.

To win the race,

we still have to...

go over the Altai Mountains,

across the Sahara Desert,

and all the way to the finish line.

Quincy!
Have you fixed the flying button yet?

Not yet, but I'm getting closer.

Hmm, so Rocket can't fly.

But he can be
a really fast submarine,

a very fast pogo bouncer,

and an extra fast train.

What should Rocket turn into

to help him bounce
over the mountains?

A pogo bouncer. Good idea.

Rocket, transform.

[boing boing boing]

It's working.

Rocket's bouncing so high.

[Quincy] He's bouncing
over the Altai Mountains.

[Annie]
Look, look, look.

He's bouncing
right past that yellow plane

and that green hot air balloon!

[June]
Rocket's doing great in the race.

[plane engine roars]

Oh, no! Who does that sound like?

Yes, it's Big Jet.

[Annie] And look, he's using
his season's machine to make snow.

[Quincy] Uh-oh,
now there are big piles of snow

on top of the mountains.

Big Jet made
the tall mountains even taller.

[June]
Hey, that's not fair.

[Leo]
Rocket's bouncing as high as he can,

but he can't bounce over the big,
snowy mountains.

What do we do?

I know.

I can sing a special bouncing song
to help Rocket bounce high

over the mountains.

Great idea.

All right.

Yay, Annie!

Get ready, Rocket. Here we go.

[Quincy] But uh-oh, Big Jet is making
the mountains up ahead even bigger.

[Leo]
Rocket needs to do bigger mountains.

I know! If we sing louder,
Rocket's bounces will get bigger.

But I need your help.

Sit up straight,
hold up your microphone,

Thanks for singing with me.

[Rocket dinging]

You're right, Rocket.

We bounced all the way
to the Sahara Desert.

Now all we have to do
is go across the Sahara Desert

and race to the finish line.

Look, look, look.

Big Jet and the other flying machines
are flying over the desert.

We better get moving.

[Quincy]
Uh-oh.

But it's hard for Rocket
to bounce in the sand.

Quincy, have you fixed
the flying button yet?

I'm getting really close,
but it's still not ready.

Look, there are tracks that go
all the way across the desert.

So, what should Rocket
turn into next?

A train, yes.

Rocket, transform.

["William Tell Overture" playing]

[Quincy]
Whoo-hoo!

Rocket is going as fast as a train.

[Annie] He's passing that big
purple blimp and that brown plane.

[plane engine roars]

Uh-oh, I hear something.

Who do you think it is?

Yes, it's Big Jet.

[Annie]
And look, he's using his zig-zagger

to make the train tracks all twisty.

-[brakes squealing]
-[June] Oh, no!

Rocket can't get around
all those twisty turns.

I have a plan.

I can teach Rocket
the chuga-chuga cha cha cha

to help him dance around
these zigzag tracks.

To do the chuga-chuga cha cha cha,
just chug your arms, like this!

Chuga-chug, chuga-chug!

That's it!

Do it with me!

You helped Rocket drive
back and forth over the zigzags.

[Leo] Uh-oh, but Big Jet
is using his zig-zagger again.

[Annie] Now he's making lots and lots
of little zigzags in the tracks.

This time chug your arms,

but only make little chugs,
like this.

We made it past all the zigzags,
big and small.

Your dancing was superb.

We helped Rocket get past
all the other flying machines.

Not all of them.

There's still someone Rocket
has to beat

if he's going to win the race.

Who does Rocket have to beat?

Big Jet.

[Annie]
He's headed for the finish line.

[June] Uh-oh, and there aren't
any more train tracks.

Quincy,
have you fixed the flying button yet?

I only have one piece left.

There. Is the flying button fixed?

Yes, Quincy's fixed
the flying button.

Rocket, transform.

[Annie]
Hooray!

[Leo]
Fly, Rocket, fly!

[Annie]
He's passing Stonehenge.

[Quincy] He's flying
past the Statue of Liberty.

[June]
Rocket's almost caught up to Big Jet.

[Leo]
But look, Big Jet has...



[Quincy] Those speedy boosters
are helping Big Jet fly extra fast.

[Annie]
He's speeding to the finish line.

Leo, how will we ever beat him?

[Rocket dinging]

That's right, Rocket.

There's one more special button
we can press...

the super fast button.

Great idea, Leo.

All right!

We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go... super fast.

Will you help me
fly Rocket super fast?

Great. Super fast.

[all]
Super fast!

To get to super fast,
we have to start at adagio.

Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

[music plays]

Moderato.

Now pat the beat
on your tummy a little faster.

[music speeds up]

Allegro.

Now pat the beat
on your shoulders even faster.

[music speeds up]

Presto.

Now reach your arms
to the sky and shake your whole body.

We did it.

We're flying... super fast.

[Quincy]
Rocket is passing Big Jet.

[Leo]
Did Rocket win the race?

Yes!

[cheering]

-Whoo-hoo!
-Hooray!

We knew you could do it, Rocket.

Look, look, look.

Rocket won the big trophy with wings.

-Yay.
-[Rocket dinging]

[Rocket dinging]

Rocket's saying thank you.

He couldn't have won
the Great Sky Race without you.

You can race with Rocket anytime.
