[Clay] Class time!

I can't wait!

Mr. Ernesto, we're ready for our mission.

Buenos días, Action Pack!

Let me check with Plunky
to see what our mission is today.

Hmm. Huh.

No problems in Hope Springs,
which means no mission.

[all gasp]

-No mission?
-[Clay] That doesn't sound right.

Maybe Plunky's processor's off,
and it needs some extra charging.

-[crackling]
-[beeping]

[Mr. Ernesto] Oh!

Oh. [chuckles]
Uh, Plunky's working just fine.

Action Pack, you should be proud.

No supervillains out there
means all of your hard work is paying off.

And superheroes
aren't just about stopping supervillains.

They're about helping people in need.

You can help walk a dog,
clean up trash, or sweep the sidewalks.

Action Pack, we have a mission.
Let's find someone to help.

-Yeah! Let's do it!
-All right!

[Mr. Ernesto] Circle up, hoodies up, and…

[all] Take action!

♪ Action Pack! ♪

♪ Here we go! ♪

Treena, mighty flowers and plant powers!

Clay, Plasma Power and Invinci-ball!

Wren, changing up
with animal powers, roar!

Watts, super charged electric zaps!

[Wren roars]

[heroic music playing]

All right, Action Pack.
You know the mission.

-[all] Let's find someone to help!
-[Wren] Yeah!

[girl giggling]

It's free doughnut day!

-Here, take one.
-Oh, thank you.

I don't see any dogs or trash,
or sidewalks that need sweeping.

Wait, look!

[quavering]

Argh. [groans]

[quavers] Huh?

-[screams]
-[heroic music playing]

Abby, Gabby, and Maddy,
could we help with anything?

-Yes, please!
-Whatever.

We need to deliver
all of these pickle pies.

-[Treena] We can help with that.
-I'll deliver them in a flash.

-[Wren] Butterfly Wren to the rescue!
-And I've got these!

[grunting]

[thuds]

-[Wren] Special delivery!
-Uh, thank you!

-[man] Huh? Thanks, Treena!
-You got it.

[knocking]

-Thanks!
-Thank you, Action Pack.

Uh, thanks, I guess.

No problem!

[engine sputtering]

Aw! The battery is dead.

[heroic tune plays]

-I know who could help with that.
-[Watts] Watts!

-Sounds like your battery needs a charge.
-[electricity sizzles]

[powers up]

Supercharge coming up!

-[energy buzzing]
-Whoa!

[zaps]

[engine revs]

Thanks, Action Pack.

[Wren] My turn to find someone to help.

Action On! Sneaky Fox!

[sniffing]

So far, my sniffer hasn't sniffy-sniffed
anyone who needs help.

Only stinky feet.

Hey! Maybe we can help people
unstinky their feet!

[mutters] Pardon. Uh, coming through.

I wonder why Mr. Grumpman
is always so grumpy.

I don't know.

If I smelled like onion soup,
I'd be hap-hap-happy!

Oh! What's this?

-[lively music playing]
-The Boogie Bandits? Huh?

Those whippersnappers want to boogie?

I can show them a thing or two.

Well, best get on with my chores.

I do love me a good list.

That's it. We can make
Mr. Grumpman less grumpy,

maybe even happy,
by helping him do his chores list.

Are you sure Mr. Grumpman
needs help with his chores?

Well, no,

but I would like it
if someone helped me do my chores.

You're right, Clay.

Then it's settled. Our mission
for the day is to help Mr. Grumpman.

-First, we get Mr. Grumpman's list.
-[Mr. Grumpman] I like a good list.

[Treena] Second,
do the chores on the list.

Third, Mr. Grumpman will be happy.

[Mr. Grumpman] I am happy!

-[Treena] Action Pack, let's go!
-[Wren roars]

-Heya, Mr. Grumpman!
-Huh? Fiddlesticks!

Here, Mr. Grumpman. Your list.

[splutters]

You picking that up for me was… all right.

And guess what.

We wanna give you a break
and help out with your chores.

What? Ya do?

-Yup!
-We do!

-Yes!
-Sure thing!

Hmm. You can try.

Here ya go.

[Clay] What's this, Mr. Grumpman?

Oh, just a photo

from when me and my dancin' friends
used to do the Hope Springs Boogie!

But those days are long gone.

Hmm. Let's see what we can help with.

Watts, you can pick up
Mr. Grumpman's books from the library.

I can do that!

Public Library, here I come!

Wren, you're on doughnut duty.

Yum! Doughnuts!

[roars] My polar bear arms
can carry lots of doughnuts!

I'll pick up
Mr. Grumpman's new suspenders.

And, Clay, why don't you give Mr. Grumpman
a break from carrying his heavy tote bag?

You got it, Treena!

Vine Time!

Action On! Invinci-pack!

-I can carry your bag home in this.
-Whoa!

-Is that okay with you, Mr. Grumpman?
-I suppose so.

Well, this way, young'un.

-[whooshes]
-[yelps]

Watts, zippin' in
with every book on the list.

Oh, fiddlesticks!

Don't worry, Mr. Grumpman. I'll get them.

Hmm.

The Good Old Dancing Days,

The History of Hope Springs Boogie,

and Grooving with Grumpman:
The Tale of Hope Springs' Greatest Dancer?

-Huh?
-[Wren] Twelve doughnuts!

[chomps] I mean, 11 delicious doughnuts
ready for pickup.

-[Clay] Oh! Phew.
-[Wren] Good save, Clay.

These suspenders are plant-tastic!
Mr. Grumpman's going to be so happy.

-[Wren] Yummy in my tummy!
-Cool!

[Treena] Hey, Clay!

-Speedy suspender delivery on its way.
-[Mr. Grumpman] Huh?

[grunts] Aw…

-[kids] Yay!
-[Treena giggles]

[metal clinking]

Chores list is complete.

Mr. Grumpman
should have a huge smile on his--

Oh, fiddlesticks.

My trowel's all muddy.

I thought Mr. Grumpman
was supposed to be all smiley-wiley now.

Yeah, he doesn't look happy to me.

Huh. I think we're missing something.

I know! We should help with things
that weren't on the list,

like cleaning that trowel.

Lightning fast clean coming up!

-Oh!
-Mr. Grumpman, relax.

I got this.

[electricity buzzing]

Oh, be careful
with all that zippin' and zappin'!

That trowel used to belong
to my friend, Ruth Ann.

Ruth Ann?
Is that who's in the photo with you?

Oh yes.

She gave it to me
when she moved to Pleasant Beach.

Back in the day,
Ruth Ann and I'd go to the ballroom

at the top of the Hope Springs skyscraper

and look out at the city
while dancin' it up!

[people cheering]

Hey, if a good city view makes you happy,
this guy's got you covered!

[Mr. Grumpman] Huh? Oh! Whoa!

[yelps] Put me down!

No!

Cool, huh?

[Mr. Grumpan screaming]

Fiddlesticks!

[groaning, gags]

Hot Sparks!

-He loved it so much, he's speechless.
-[groans]

And while you two were gone,

I noticed Mr. Grumpman
had been getting the garden ready,

so I planted flowers!

Huh? But I was going to grow onions.

They're my favorite!

Heya, Mr. Grumpman.
I know what will make you happy. Pets!

[mews apathetically]

Pets? I don't want any pets!

-But Whiskers and Chirpy are great pets.
-[chirps]

-[meows]
-Hey, stop wiggling!

-[gasps] Look out!
-[animals warbling]

-Come here, little guy!
-I got him! [grunts] Don't got him.

Here, kitty! [grunts]

The bird got in the house.
That's not good.

-[crashing]
-No! Get out of there!

-[cat yowls]
-Fiddlesticks!

No pets indoors!

[panting heavily]

What a horrible day!

You planted flowers. I wanted onions!

Zappy over here made me dizzy
with all his fancy flyin'.

And to top it all off…

[huffs] …a cat chasing a bird!

We're all sorry, Mr. Grumpman.

We only meant to make your day
less of a chore.

I think I'm done with your help for today!

[muttering angrily]

[gasps]

For our machine to work,

we need to think about
what will truly make Mr. Grumpman happy.

In this old photo, Mr. Grumpman
was happy dancing with his old friends,

but they moved away,

and now he doesn't have anyone
to dance with.

That's why all his library books
were about dancing.

The doughnuts were for dancing energy!

And the suspenders
to keep his pants up while he dances.

I guess we weren't very helpful after all.

There has to be something we could do
to make this right.

Yeah. It's never too late
to do the right thing.

We can still super-duper up his day!

We can find him some new dancing friends.

Maybe we can be his dancing friends!

[jaunty music playing]

[doorbell rings]

-Huh?
-[jaunty music continues]

Hmm.

[irately] Oh, what's that noise?

[electricity crackling]

[meows]

[Wren giggles]

Huh?

What's this?

-What in the world?
-[music intensifies]

Come on, Mr. Grumpman! Let's dance!

-[man] Oh yeah!
-[people cheering]

[Mr. Ernesto] Oh, that's right!
You can shake it too, Plunky!

Is this all for me?

Uh-huh. Meet your fans, Mr. Grumpman.

It's really, really him!

My friend and I are, like,
your biggest fans. [chuckles]

-Please sign our books?
-Oh! Um, uh, sure.

[woman] Oh! Thank you so much!

Doughnuts? The yummiest party treats!

h* h*!

-[munches]
-[Clay] All right, Mr. Grumpman. This way!

Mr. Grumpman, will you teach us
the Hope Springs Boogie?

Hmm. You've got great taste in music
for whippersnappers,

but I'm not dressed to dance.

Would these help, Mr. Grumpman?

Ooh!

Ha ha ha!

Woo-hoo!

Looking good!

Let's dance!

-Woo-hoo!
-Hurray!

[Mr. Grumpman] h* h* h*! Whoo!

[laughs]

Okay, do as I do, young'uns!

-[Nelly] Oh, Mr. Grumpman. Whoo!
-[laughing]

Oh! [laughs]

That's using the old bean!

Woo-hoo!

Mr. Grumpman, are you smiling?

Uh, no. I never.

Uh, wait. I am!

[chuckling] I really am!

Thank you, Action Pack! [laughs]

-[Insignias chime]
-[Treena] Mission accomplished!

Heya, Mr. Grumpman.

Maybe we should call you
Mr. Happyman from now on?

Ha! Don't push your luck.

[both laughing]

Let's keep this party going! Ha!

[all cheering, laughing]

-[barks]
-That's right!

It's time for Action Pack fun facts.

-[barks]
-Thank you, Plunky.

Hey, I'm Watts. Did you know?

With my electricity power,
I can fly lightning fast,

throw lightning blasts,
and create lightning bolts.

Super cool, right?

Watts out!

-[alert beeping]
-Oh! Plunky, the Action Pack Alert!

It's time for the next mission.

[barks]

[Mr. Ernesto] Okay, Action Pack.

Plunky's timer will tell you
when recess is over.

[barks]

But why does recess ever have to end?
It's the best part of the day.

There's a time for everything, Watts.

A time for learning,
a time for saving the day,

and even a time for lunch.

And our time for recess is… now!

-[barks]
-[Clay and Treena] Yeah! Oof!

[chuckles] It's your time to play

and my time to prepare
for the next lesson.

Since we only have a little bit of time,

our mission is to make
the best recess ever.

Action Pack, circle up, hoodies up, and…

[all] Take action!

♪ Action Pack! ♪

Treena, mighty flowers and plant powers!

Clay, Plasma power and Invinci-ball!

Wren, changing up
with animal powers, roar!

Watts, super charged electric zaps!

[Wren roars]

[Treena giggles, grunts]

[giggles]

Clay, pop butterfly! [giggles]

[nervously] Got it!

-Got it!
-[grunts]

Clay, over here!

-[grunts]
-[grunts]

-Yeah! [chuckles]
-Over here, Watts!

-Yeah!
-[laughs] Huh?

-[timer ticking]
-Oh Zap!

Gotta get in all the fun
before recess is done.

Hey, Treena, wanna twirl?

Yeah!

-[chuckling] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
-[laughs]

Whoa! That was fun, Watts. [chuckles]

Watts?

Sorry, gotta have more fun, fast!

[grunting, panting]

-Ha!
-Yay!

-Hold on tight, Clay.
-Whoa!

I'm getting dizzy!

Time to slide. Woo-hoo!

Look out! Look out! Look out!

-[girl] Whoa!
-[Watts grunts]

-[grunts]
-[groans]

[both] Where'd you come from?

How did you just appear like that?

Do you have super speed powers too?

Watts, making new friends without me?

-What are you guys doing over here?
-I'm Wren.

What's your name? When's your birthday?
Do you like giraffes?

I wanna know everything!

Okay. I'm Eon.

That's my mom.

Hi, kids.

Oh, my birthday's July 12th,
and I like giraffes,

but not as much as I like elephants.

And I have Down Syndrome.

I like running,
and jumping, and playing tag.

What's Down syndrome?

Is it a superpower?

Kinda.

It means I was born
with an extra chromosome.

Super-duper chromosomeo!

We were all born with something extra too.
Come on, let's play! [giggles]

How did she appear like that?

Watch out, Eon! Treena's it.
[grunts] Action On! Mouse!

-[laughs]
-Huh?

-[Wren giggles]
-[chuckles]

Tag! [giggles] You're it, Eon.

[in singsong] You can't get me! [chuckles]

[powering up]

Yeah! [laughs]

-What?
-Tag! You're it, Watts. [giggles]

You got me?

No one ever gets me since I have
awesome Super Speed Lightning Legs.

Like this!

-Tag!
-Whoa! [chuckles]

-[ticking]
-Recess is almost over, Action Pack.

Oh Zap!

What's wrong?

Recess is going by so fast.

I wish we had more time.

Okay!

Here, hold this watch.

And Pause!

[powering up]

-[serene music playing]
-[clock ticking]

[echoing] Watts?

Did I pause you too?

[gasps] But you… Did we…

[gasps]

[giggles]

Cool!

Hot Sparks! This is amazing!

You can pause time?

That's so cool!

When someone holds one of my watches,
they can be with me.

-You can make recess last forever!
-[electricity zips]

I can pause it for a while,

but when I do it too long, I get tired.

Action On! Forever Recess!

This is awesome.
I wish you could see how Wren plays catch.

Sounds fun!

-[whirs]
-Play!

[kids laughing]

Hey, Wren! Catch!

What?

A watch?

What does this do?

You'll see.

-Pause!
-[whirs]

[giggling fades]

[clock ticking]

[gasps] I didn't know you had
time stoppity-stop powers!

Can you make recess go
for a super-duper long time?

Actually,
I can only use my powers so much.

If recess is going to be forever
and everly,

it'll be cooler than koalas
if Clay and Treena could play too!

Yeah.

[clock ticking slowly]

We did tag, hopscotch,
jump rope, red rover,

and tag again.

What now?

Now… [yawns] …I need a break.

Breaks are nice.

All that playing
has me snoozier than a sloth.

Is it nap time?

[laughing]

Tell me more
about being in the Action Pack.

Being in the Action Pack is awesome.

Our school is the Action Academy,

and we use our powers
to help bring out the good wherever we go.

We fly places in our new MegaPlane.

[gasps] A MegaPlane?

You wanna fly in it, Eon?
I'll call the auto pickup.

MegaPlane, pick us up at the park.

[quirky music plays]

-Ugh. So slow.
-[beeps]

Hurry up, MegaPlane.

Watts, the MegaPlane
doesn't have one of Eon's watches.

It's paused.

Can you hit play
so the MegaPlane can come to us?

Okay.

I could use a break from pausing.

-Play!
-[whirs]

-[lively music playing]
-[girl giggles]

[MegaPlane powering up]

[timer ticking]

Oh, hey, Action Pack.
Did you make a new friend?

-[Wren] Yeppers!
-Yeah!

Hi, I'm Eon.

Hi, Eon. Nice to meet you.

Okay, team. Just a heads up,
recess is almost over.

[powering up, beeping]

[chuckles nervously]
It'll be here soon. You'll see.

[whirring, sputtering]

Ugh!

This is taking forever.

MegaPlane, Mega Super Amped Up Speed.

-[engine revving]
-[blasts]

[electricity buzzes]

That's better.

Look, there it is.

[gasps] Oh no!

[Wren] What?!

Uh-oh.

MegaPlane, slow down!

Stop!

[electricity crackling]

What? Why is the MegaPlane out?

Uh… It's okay, Mr. Ernesto. I got it!

Stop! Um, sorry I said you were too slow.

MegaPlane, can you hear me?

Watts, there's an issue
with the MegaPlane's remote controls.

You have to get inside the c*ck

and pilot it.

Action On!

Um… Super Fastest Lightning Legs!

-[clown nose squeaks]
-Huh? Aah! I just have to get inside!

[shouts]

[yelping] Aah!

So you're saying that Eon can pause time,

and all of you were trying
to make recess last longer?

[Watts] Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Aah!

[screams]

[all gasp]

-[Treena] Oh no!
-Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Phew. That was so cool!

I mean, not cool.

The MegaPlane's headed for outer space
at super speed.

-I don't know how to stop it.
-Time for a plan of action.

Eon, we need your help.

First, if Eon can pause time--

Wait, I'm not sure--

You got it, Treena! Pause!

Now you should be able
to catch it no problem.

[beeps]

Huh?

Uh… I can't pilot it while it's paused.

And I think it's too dangerous
to unpause it

until we have everything under control.
But I have another idea.

[yawns]

Okay, ready?

Pull!

[all straining]

[groans]

-Aah!
-[grunts]

We're not strong enough.

I think I have an idea.

Watts, can you come down
and take me to the plane?

Sure!

Gotcha!

I think I can bring the MegaPlane
to slo-mo so we can get it under control.

On my count, put this right there.

Ready, set,

Slo-mo!

[whirs, blasts]

[clock ticking]

[MegaPlane whirring]

[girl giggling]

So cool!

[Treena] It's working!

[chimes]

[yawns]

Pause!

Okay, you can turn off the MegaPlane now.

[beeps]

-Eon did it!
-Woo-hoo!

-[Clay] Go, Eon!
-That was awesome!

Next up for forever recess,
we'll do a flight around town and--

Actually, Wren, I'm pretty tired.

I should unpause, but I really wanna
keep hanging out with you guys.

Like Mr. Ernesto said,
there's a time for everything.

Now, it's time for you to recharge.

But that doesn't mean
we have to stop hanging out.

Playing with you was fun,
whether or not you're pausing.

We'll still be friends in regular time.

Now and always!

Bestie-best friends foreverly!

-Play!
-[powers up]

[cheerful music playing]

-[alarm buzzes]
-…that this is a good idea.

-[barks]
-Huh?

[laughing]

Did they do it already?

[laughing continues]

-Well done, Action Pack.
-[Insignias chime]

Mission accomplished!

Woo-hoo! [giggles]

Mr. Ernesto, can Eon come with us
back to the Action Academy?

I bet she'd have a blast,

and I wanna spend more time
with our new friend.

Hey, Eon. Hey, kids.

-Did you have fun?
-Yeah!

Mom, I'm going to the Action Academy
with my new friends!

[chuckles] Looks like we have
a new Hero of the Day.

That sounds great!
I can't wait to hear all about it later.

I'm recharged and ready to be a hero!

Come on, let's go!

[Wren] We're going to have
the bestiest time ever!

[kids giggle]

[ending theme music playing]
