you're kidding

where do you think mood cakes come from

i thought they came from cook

we've been with our family during the

moon festival i once heard they were

used by soldiers a long time ago

to send secret messages i guess there

are lots of mooncake stories

we tell the jade rabbit one in my family

oh well for obvious reasons

we sort of made it up but it's really

great do you want to hear it

sure sounds good okay close your eyes

many many years ago the moon was

inhabited by a beautiful moon maiden

and her best friend the jade rabbit

the goddess and the rabbit lived in a

beautiful palace

are you seeing it yeah

the jade rabbit spent all of his time

grinding magical moon medicine

into round cakes that were scattered

everywhere

wow is this a good way to listen to a

story or

what yeah and so many moon cakes

pasta taylor you were so faster how

could i look my best if my robes are

tattered

here with moon maiden

delicious cakes

thing

um have you considered my request for me

to see my best friend moon maiden

it's been such a long time

just keep making more cakes

now about mean thing

for years jade rabbit and moon maiden

lived fun and happy lives together

but one day evil mean thing

who had heard of the magical healing

cakes made on the moon

and did the worst thing anyone could do

to two best friends

he kept them apart

[Music]

jade rabbit i just heard that is so

awful

who are you how did you get here i'm

sagua

and i'm just listening to your story and

this is

where'd he go i hope you haven't eaten

any cakes

mean things very greedy if even one was

missing

he would be furious

did you try these moon cakes sagua

you have to leave right away if anything

finds out what you've done

you don't want to know if you do

3 999

rest no way

don't worry a hero is on his way

just close your eyes don't be scared and

no more snacking

[Music]

where did you never mind ready

into that room quietly

[Music]

just jump in the hole and you land back

on earth quickly now

rest of your story

this is no time silly axe keeps getting

in my way

he's the hero

hello moon creatures i am the woodcutter

woogong uh yeah that's great

but why have you come here i have been

sent to spend eternity on the moon

but i bring sad news from earth

there is a mysterious illness there that

has no

known cure the moon cakes they have

special healing powers in them right

yes but they're trapped here by the same

evil magic that keeps me from the moon

maiden

mean thing but this is an emergency

perhaps if i talk to this mean thing

oh please ask me again

very well won't you please take some

mooncakes to the sick people on earth

[Laughter]

rabbit you'll make more cakes so you can

return to earth with them

no so i may eat them all this laughing

has made me hungry

hurry as for you woodcutter

and you'll send down all the cakes they

need as soon as i chop this tree down

that's right just as soon as it's no

longer standing

[Music]

what is he up to just watch you won't

be able to do it you know oh really

i am the most powerful woodcutter on

earth

oh and you

universe

hey uh those two really went all gushing

over each other sorry my family kind of

loves love stories we totally made this

part up

help

he's stuck here forever

okay i'll admit it we're lost

we're not lost we just have no idea

where we are

well maybe if we follow these silly

rabbit tracks we'll find jade rabbit

[Music]

hmm clever idea hiding a message inside

the cake

she says we must send the cakes to earth

but the only one who can take the cakes

off the moon is mean thing

he'll never agree to that who says he

has to agree

huh get me the tailor here's the plan

get those mooncakes ready mean thing

i'm chopping this tree down

careful with that needle taylor ah

emperor

wants me to be part of his royal court i

must go at once

goodbye pitiful moon and all who

live here

[Music]

to trick me thing away now you two had

better hurry if you want to lift home

illness
