[Applause]

one step at a time who could suppose

what together we'll find with every pair

of shoes that we try we'll

[Music]

nobody knows for sure

[Music]

how do you like your beach the blue rig

is the sea the yellow ray gets sand and

green rag is grass

hmm

you know what this beach really needs a

palm tree is there anything around here

that looks like a palm tree

[Music]

that looks like a palm tree

[Music]

grandpa

yes franny can i borrow your feather

duster

sorry franny but i needed to dust with

right now why don't you dust later

grandpa

but we need to keep the shoe shops pick

and span for our customers i'd really

like that feather duster for my beach

but grandpa needs it to dust

[Music]

a customer

[Music]

and what can we do for you

my winter boots are not as warm as they

used to be

no wonder the fuzz is falling off can

you fix them so that they will be cozy

in the cold when i'm done they'll keep

your toes as warm as toast can you

please put these in the fixed box for

annie sure grandpa lickety-split

where will my feet take me today

[Music]

snow

oh it's chilly out it's not that cold

it was a lot colder in the winter

hi i'm franny salute franny i'm pierre

you better hurry up this is your last

chance to make a snow angel

why

all the snow is going to melt soon

when you're lying in the snow you just

have to make a snow angel

now for the tricky part jump out of your

snow angel so you don't mess up the

shape

one

two three

[Music]

whoa

they're fantastic

we they're magnifique

mmm it smells like spring

are you sure

there's still so much snow on the ground

not for long see those icicles they're

melting just like the

snow a robin

that's another sign of spring

and there's the best sign of spring our

maple trees

those trees have tubes stuck on them

that's how my family gathers sap to make

maple syrup and maple sugar too

i love maple syrup on my pancakes

but how can you get syrup from a tree

come on i'll show you

this is the sugar shack

we boil tree sap into maple syrup here

and this is my family's special bucket

my great great grandparents gathered

their very first drop of sap in it

that is a special bucket

there's my uncle

uncle jean this is franny

bonjour freddie i'll just put these

empty syrup jugs in the sugar shack then

we can make maple taffy

[Music]

is boiling the sap to make it thick and

sticky

[Music]

he's pouring the taffy on that pan of

snow to cool it

the toffee is ready go on try it

[Music]

but i still don't know how you get the

sap out of the maple trees

can we show her how uncles

[Music]

so that's how you get the sap out of the

maple tree

yeah

why don't we show franny our family

gathered sap long ago good idea

let's get the special bucket for annie

okay pierre

[Music]

oh no my family special bucket is gone

uh-oh

maybe the wind blew it away

then it should be around here somewhere

i don't see it anywhere

oh this wonderful spring day has turned

into a disaster

a bucket can't just walk away by itself

someone must have walked away with it

look franny footprints

are you thinking what i'm thinking maybe

whoever made the footprints has the

bucket

let's follow the footprints and see

where they go

franny and pierre their fantabulous

bucket binders are on the trail

[Music]

there's the creek

someone put a pile of mud and sticks

across it

and there's a new pond too

[Music]

our special bucket

[Music]

what is the beaver doing with your

bucket

[Music]

what are you doing with that bucket

oh sorry beatrice the beaver is much too

busy building to chitter chatter

but what are you building beatrice

a new house for my family spring is here

i have to hurry

franny we have to get the bucket back

but it's too cold to swim out there and

get it

excuse me beatrice but here needs his

bucket back it's very special oh i

didn't know it was someone else's bucket

but i can't finish my house in time

without it

i know let's find something else for

beatrice to use

like what

something like a bucket

something that can hold sticky stuff

like mud

i have an idea

beatrice we brought you something else

you can use to build your house

it's a plastic maple syrup jug my uncle

jean cut out the bottom so you can use

it for a mud scooper hmm

mind if i try it out first

[Music]

this scooper works even better than this

bucket

then it's a trade

it's a trade thanks sorry i borrowed

your bucket without asking

[Music]

yay your family's special bucket is

filling up with sap

[Music]

magnifique this fresh spring air is

making me hungry anyone for pancakes and

maple syrup me

me too please

another pancake franny

yes please

[Music]

more french toast beer

no merci i'm full but i think beatrice

would like something to eat

here's a sweet sapling to celebrate you

finishing your house

[Music]

that was yummy i wish i could stay

longer but i've got to get back

i'll have one pier

bye bye beatrice au revoir franny

thanks for a real sweet time

[Music]

that was frantastique

[Music]

maple taffy

[Music]

a tasty treasure for my shoebox

[Music]

grandpa would you like to make a trade a

trade franny where did you get that idea

well

your special bucket was missing beatrice

borrowed it pierre

beatrice who are they

she's a beaver she needed the bucket to

build her house so we traded her a maple

syrup jug for it and it was the best mud

scooper ever

was it

[Music]

will you trade me your feather duster

for this rag

rags are good for cleaning

my feather duster has a long handle how

will i dust the low spots

i can test the low spots for you grandpa

then it's a trade

yay i have a palm tree for my beach

and i have a dust rag and someone to

help me dust the low spots

where will my feet take me tomorrow

[Music]

finished

here franny try on your fairy wings

yes grandpa

you know freddie i was very nervous

about sewing these wings because i've

only sewn shoes before but i think they

came out perfect

yes grandpa

what's the matter franny don't you like

your wings

no my fairy wings are perfect but

but what franny

but i wish i'd been picked to be the

blue fairy instead of one of the pink

pixies in the chorus

but don't the pink pixies get to sing a

lovely song

well yes

and don't the pink pixies get to dance a

pretty dance

yes grandpa then it's wonderful that you

were picked to be one of the pink pixies

i guess so

a customer

[Music]

and what can we do for you today

i just came back from bird watching in a

country meadow where i spotted a hooded

wabbler but now the heels of my walking

shoes are all wobbly

don't worry we'll have those shoes

steady and sturdy in no time

you know where these go don't you franny

into the fix-it box

right

[Music]

where are my feet take me today

[Music]

magical meadows what a pretty place

[Music]

hello birds

hello butterfly

what about me

aren't you going to say hello to me

oh

hello

where are you

over here

i'm right over here

where

over here i'm right over here

i can't see you anywhere

i'm right beside you

on the rock

oh there you are hello my name is franny

and my name is katie

pleased to meet you katie what a

beautiful meadow you live in there's so

many things to see

except me

nobody ever notices me

everyone always admires the flowers and

the butterflies and birds

but they never admire me because i

always blend in with my surroundings

but crickets are supposed to blend right

in it's called camouflage and it helps

to keep you safe

i know but sometimes i want to be

noticed

well now that we've met i'm sure i'll

have no trouble seeing you

look another pretty butterfly

did you see the pretty butterfly katie

oops where did you go

i haven't moved i'm still on the rock

[Music]

there you are katie

i'm sorry

see it happened again

this is a problem why don't we go

someplace we can see you better

that's a great idea franny follow me

[Music]

look at all the pretty buttercups my

favorite

oh no katie you've disappeared again

where are you

i'm right under your nose frannie

there you are i'm sorry katie

oh franny

why can't i be brightly colored like a

flower

are you thinking what i'm thinking

if we can find a way to make you more

brightly colored then everyone will

notice you

here katie why don't you wear this

beautiful buttercup hat

how do i look franny

fantabulous

hello bumblebee

i'm so glad you could come and visit

do you like my hat

oh franny i'm scared

he's sting you know

he isn't going to sting you he thinks

you're a flower

excuse me mr bumblebee but you won't

find any nectar there she's not a flower

she's a cricket

[Music]

who do i think i'm kidding

i'm not a flower

i'm just a plain old gray cricket

don't worry katie we'll find a way to

make you stand out but how

because of my camouflage color i'll

always blend in with the rocks and the

grass

if we can't change your color to keep

you from blending in with your

surroundings then we'll just have to

change your surroundings

that's a great idea franny

now we just have to find the perfect

spot

there

[Music]

jump aboard katie

okay franny

there you go i can see perfectly against

the bright green leaf and the clear blue

sky

really franny

yippee

everyone can see me now

thank you

franny there is only one problem

what's that

you can't stay way up on that tree

branch forever

you're right

and it is awfully high up

i'm flying away

jeepers hang on katie

granny how i'm coming

where are you katie

i'm over here

jump up katie then i'll be able to see

you against the sky

i'm jumping franny i'm

jumping it's no use katie this grass is

too tall for me to see you we'll have to

try something else

i know

why don't i turn and then you can follow

the sound

that's a great idea katie

[Music]

keep chirping katie i'm getting closer

[Music]

there you are

[Music]

it's no use i might as well accept it

i'll never ever stand out

hello hello hello hello

hello to you too

where are you we're over here on a rock

just follow our troops

here we come

there you are my name is franny and this

is katie

my name is chloe and this is carol

we heard katie chirping and had to find

out who was making such a lovely sound

why thank you

um you would like to invite you to join

our cricket choir

fantastic

this is your opportunity to stand out

katie

i guess so

what's wrong

all of our voices are the same so i'll

still just blend in

that's not true

listen

so you see our chirping may blend but it

doesn't sound the same

your lovely high chirp is just what the

cricket choir needs

what do you think katie

i think it's fantastic franny

[Music]

bravo

katie the cricket choir is the head of

the meadow everyone will notice you now

thank you franny

i have to go now

goodbye

goodbye

[Music]

that was fantabulous

[Music]

a buttercup

[Music]

a perfect treasure for my shuba

[Music]

you know what grandpa i can't wait to be

one of the pig pixies

you can't what changed your mind

katie the cricket she blended in with

the rocks and grass but she really

wanted to be noticed

she did

uh-huh but then she met two other

crickets who invited her to join their

cricket choir

and now she and her friends are the head

of the meadow

that's wonderful

and i'm sure you and your pink pixies

will be the hit of the show

where will my feet take me tomorrow

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
