[Giggles]

Awk!
Polly want a cr*cker?

Awk!
Polly want a cr*cker?

[Sally] Oh...uh...
A parrot!

That's a good one,
Nick.

It looks
so real.

That's nothing,
Sally.

Watch this!

Awoooo!

Yikes! [screams]

[laughing]

Ohhh...
The Cat in the Hat![giggle]
The Cat in the Hat!

Is it gone?

It's not a real wolf, Cat.

We're making
shadow shapes!

Shadow shapes?

Oh,
I LOVE making those!

Ooh,
here's one

that will knock
your socks off.

Guess what I am!

[efforts]

Um...
An octopus?

A lawn mower?

Oh, um...oh...

A rocking chair?

Nooo...

Hey!
What happened?

Awww, we used up the
flashlight batteries.

[sigh] I guess that's the
end of our show.

But you haven't
guessed mine yet!

I know,

but we need light
to make shadows,

and we don't have any.

[gasp]
Someone does.

Wow!

What are those lights?

I know.

They're stars that
fell from the sky,

right Cat?

Stars?

Why I'm sure Shimmer
would love

to be called
a star!

Shimmer?
Who's that?

She's the second
twinkle on the right.

[Sally and Nick]
Huh?

Those are
fireflies!

They're a
kind of beetle

that can light
up at night.

They light up?

Hey, we need light to
make shadow shapes!

Maybe the fireflies
can help us?

Brilliant idea!

Let's go
see them.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

Come on,
let's go ask!

Mom?
Sally and I

need some light in
the treehouse.

Can we go and ask
fireflies for help?

Fireflies?
[chuckle]

Well, they
are the experts.

All right,
just don't let them

keep you out past bedtime.

Thanks,
Mom!

We can go!
We can go!

I know,
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

All aboard!

[yawns]

What's all
the hullabaloo?

Wakey wakey,
eggs and bakey

- it's ADVENTURE time!

Funny, I thought
it was bedtime.

Ha,
that IS funny.



♪ Are you ready?
- Yes we are! ♪

♪ Are you steady?
Yes we are! ♪

♪ Are you sure you're
ready to explore....? ♪

♪ Yes we are!

Then Buckle up!

[honk]



It seems a bit rude

to arrive quite so tall.

We might accidentally

frighten them all!

Sally, hit the
Shrinkmadoodle,

if you please?

[honk]



Flick the
Jiggermawhizzer!

[giggles]

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



[giggles]
Isn't this fun?

Ya-hooooooo!

is up and away!♪

♪ Go, go, go, go!
On an Adventure. ♪

♪ We're flying with the
Cat in the Hat today!♪

♪ We couldn't make shadows
without any light ♪

♪ So we're off to the
firefly bushes ♪

♪ toniiiiiiight!

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!
On an adventure. ♪

[honk honk]



Ooh!

Oh,
wow!

It's like being inside
a Christmas tree!

Whoa!

[laughs]
Or a tiny airport.

Hey,
look!

I think someone's waving
us in for a landing!

Oh Glimmer,
where are you?

Shimmer!

I thought I
recognized your glow.

Cat in the Hat?
Is that you?

It's better than me.

It's me AND my friends

Nick, Sally
and Fish!

Hi!

Charmed.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, your smile's
on upside down!

It's turned
into a frown.

What's wrong,
Shimmer?

I'm worried about
my friend Glimmer.

I've been calling
and calling him,

but he hasn't come!

He hasn't!

Well, never fear,
help is here!

I've been told I'm
hard to ignore.

Glimmer!

Where are you?

Aw,
Cat!

Ah,
thanks but -

fireflies don't call
each other by yelling.

We do it by
flashing our lights,

like this -



Maybe you could flash
with me instead?

Sorry, but we don't
have any light.

In fact,
that's why we came -

Wait just
a furry second -

we DO have light!

Headlights!

That's perfect!

Can they flash on
and off like me?

You bet your tail
light they can!

Hop in -

we have a
firefly to find!



Whoa...
that's a catchy rhythm.

I know.

All us fireflies use it!

If Glimmer sees it,

he'll know
we're friendly.



Did anyone flash back?

No...

Not yet...

♪ Flash, flash, flash

♪ Flash, flash, flash

Uh-oh.

Our headlights

just turned
into head-darks.

All that flashing must
have worn them out!

Hey, look -
what's that?

[gasp]
It's Glimmer!

♪ Flash a Flash a Flash Ah.

♪ Flash a Flash a Flash Ah.

♪ Flash a Flash a
Flash Ah...Oooh. ♪



[gasp]
Glimmer!

Are you okay?

I will be,
if you can get me off this

icky,
sticky spider web!

The spider could
be back any minute,

and I'd rather not
be his bedtime snack!

Don't worry. We'll get you
un-stuck in a jiffy!

Grab hold,
everybody.

One...two...THREE!

[big strain]

[everyone together]
Whoa!

It's bouncy!

[giggle]
This is fun!

It won't be fun
if Shimmer and I

turn into spider snacks.

And what if I can't
get back by bedtime?

My Mom will freak out!

Now,
don't panic.

Nobody shout!

Things and
will get us out.

[whistles]

Hello!

A spider's web is no
place to hang around.

Can you find a way
to get us down?

Mhm!



This is no time
to tidy the trunk!

Aha!



Eee!

Weee!

[Nick and Sally]
Whoa!

Oof!

Wah...haha...Yahoo...

Whee...Woohoo...Whoa!

Gotta love that
safety feature.

Thanks,
guys!

Nice work.



Let's get outta here

before the spider
comes back.

Boy I sure hope
she's good at

do-it-yourself web repair.

[Ribbit]

Phew,
that was close!

Cool tongue!

Do it again!

Ah, Nick I believe
that's how frogs eat.

Hello!

And he thinks Glimmer
and I are on the menu!

Stop!
Don't do it again!

Don't worry,
Sally.

We can handle this guy!

Ugh!

Ribbit.

Phew!

What did you
say to him?

[giggle] We just
flashed our lights

to show him that we're
not really flies

- we're fireflies.

Any frog who's ever
tasted a firefly

doesn't come back
for seconds.

We taste TERRIBLE!

Really?

[slurp]

Hmmm,
I taste great.

[laughing]

Oh, it sure
is nice

to be out of
that spider web.

Oh,
yes!

How can we
ever thank you?

Well, there
is ONE thing.

We need some light...

Can you come back to
our treehouse with us?



Thanks,
Shimmer and Glimmer.

It was really kind of you to
bring all your friends too.

Yeah, thanks, guys - it's perfect!

Now Nick and Sally
can figure out

my super-duper
shadow-shape.

Come on,
take a guess!

Uh...
Is it a spider?

No.

I know,
I know -

a scary monster!

Nope!

Sorry Cat,
but it just looks like

a jumbly lump!

BINGO!

A jumbly lump!
I knew you'd get it!

You're ever so clever.

Fireflies shine with a
natural light,

they use it to call
to each other at night.

And thanks to the brilliant
light that they throw,

we all got to put on
a fun shadow show!

[everyone together]
Horray!

Did you like it Fish?

Fish?

[bubbly snore!]

Uh!
Oh well,

you can't
please everyone!

[laughing]



The brave explorers
Nick and Sally

go further into the jungle.

Where no explorers
have ever been before.

Searching for
the lost

valley of Sally.

It's the lost
valley of Nick!

Okay the lost valley
of Sally and Nick.

Phew-
these bags are heavy.

Do you need
all that stuff?

Whoa!
Look.

I can't go exploring and
leave Snappy behind,

oh,
or Grumpy...

or Stinky!

And your bag is
just as big as mine.

Explorers can't
take any chances...

who knows how long
it'll take us

to explore the
whole lost valley

of Sally and Nick!

[thunder]



Oh no.

Quick! We need to get
back to base camp!



Run!



[sigh]

Move over Sally!

Sorry,
this seat's taken.

It's the cat.

The cat
in the hat.

Isn't it snug in here?

Oh my!
What's that?

It's Stinky!

Look,
he's got a letter!

How exciting!
It's for me!

What's it say?

"Dear Cat.
That's me.

Explorers needed to join
a snail expedition

to the forest of Slippity-Goo."

Snails...
go on expeditions?

Every day.

It's explore,
explore, explore!

Do you want
to go too?

Yeah!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Come in, Mom...
come in!

Can Sally and I

go on a snail expedition

in the Forest of Slippity-Goo?
Over.

A snail expedition?

Okay.

Just make sure you're not
too slow getting home!

[chuckle]
Over.

We won't be.

[Sally and Nick]
We can go! We can go!

[Cat in the Hat]
I know! I know!

Let's never try that
in a tent again.

Is that a promise?

To the the THINGAMAJIGGER!

Buckle up now!

It's expedition time!

[honk]



Flick the Jigermawhizzer!

[honk honk]

Welcome to the Forest
of Slippity-Goo!

[gasp]
I see snails!

We're kinda big to go on
an expedition with them.

Not for long!

Press the
shrinkamadoodle!

[laughs]



Well well,
looky-here!

They've started
without us.

How can you tell?
They move so slow.

Lewis! Clark!

Wait for us!

Hey, Clark,
it's the Cat!

Are you sure,
Lewis?

It is!
It's me!

With Sally and Nick.

I told you!

You did not!

Did too!

Wow...they even
squabble slowly!

Can we come along on
your snail expedition?

We sent you an
invitation, didn't we?

You certainly did.

Where are we going?

Mmmm...
No idea.

We'll find out when
we get there.

Uh, we'd better
let them catch up.

[gasp]
Keep up!

Keep up!

Hey! We're going
into the forest!

Hold it!
Walnut tree above!

That's not a
walnut tree, Lewis!

Yes it is!

[shouts]
No it isn't!

Okay.
It's a walnut tree.

Watch out everyone,
falling walnut zone!

Ouch!
Oooh!

Ouch!

Look out!

Over here!

What's the
problem?

Shells not
working?

Shells?

You need tough shells
like ours

to protect you.

Falling nuts -

bounce right
off of us.

Better get
yourself some,

if you want to go
on this expedition.

Hey!
I've got an idea!

We can use these
walnuts for shells!

Allow me,
won't you?

I cr*ck nuts
very well!

Nngggg!

Then...again...

maybe...not!

These are tough nuts.

[struggling]

We need a nut opened
and split into two,

Just what Thing one

and Thing two
like to do!

[whistles]



All together!
Push!

[Nick and Sally]
Horray!

[nibbling]

You know the rules!
If you snack,

you brush your teeth afterwards.

Mhm.

Nice shell.
Let's go!

Cat, you don't
have a shell.

No.

I have an umbrella!

[laughs]



Ugh! How do snails
do this all day?

These shells are heavy!

[struggle]
They sure are.

This is hard!

Maybe we should try
crawling like snails do.

My,
you're clever!

Ugh! Its even
harder this way!

Uhh...

Phew!

Will you guys keep up?

[effort]
We can't.

You know what
your problem is?

I just
told them.

They're
too slow.

No.
The problem is:

no slime.

[all together]
Slime?

Eugh!

Snail slime's great!

It's slippy...

No.
It's sticky.

It's slippy!

How else do we slide along?

It's sticky -
helps us grip

when we climb up
or down a hill!

You need some
slippy slime...

He means
sticky slime...

Slippy...

Sticky...

Slippy...

Sticky...

But we don't
have any slime.

We need to find
something slippy...

And sticky...

Slippy and sticky...
[gasp]

a skateboard that's fallen
in a glue pot!

No.

How about a snake
eating toffee?

No.

[brushing teeth sounds]

I got it!
Toothpaste!

Huh?

[laughs]

Why can't they
keep up?

They're so slow!

[effort]
There you go!

[laughing]
Snail slime!

Slippy and sticky!

And minty fresh too!

Yippeeeeeee!

Yahoo!

Skating is fun!

Wee!
La-la-la-la!

Look at me!

A slime figure-eight!

Wooo!

Woohoo!
Look at me!

Whoa!

Weee...

Hey...where'd the
snails go now?

I don't know, but they
left slime behind!

I bet we can follow those
trails right to them!

There they are!

Okay, guys!

So where to next?

What do you mean,
"where to?"

We found what
we're looking for!

Food!

All snail expeditions

are about finding food...

Mmm...
Hot dogs?

Corn on the cob?

Oooh!
Sundaes!

Cabbage!
Mmmm.

[chomping]

Cabbage?

My favourite!

[chomping]

[Chomping, chewing, swallowing]

Not bad.
Could use some dip.



[thunder]

[gasp]
Oh no!

I wish we brought
our tent along...

Look! The snails
use their shells

to stay out of the rain!

Neat-o!

We've got shells too!



Ah-ha!

And I've got my
umbrella shell!

Rain's fun when
you've got a shell!

[laughing]



That was
a great expedition!

Why not come along
on our next one?

Yeah, we hear there's
a tomato vine

around here somewhere!

Don't you have
to go home?

Home?

We carry our homes
with us

everywhere we go.

[gasp]
Your shells!

Home sweet home.

Hey, are you
coming or what?

Okay,
okay.

Know what your
problem is?

You talk
too much...

Bye Lewis!
See ya, Clark!

Thanks for everything,
guys!

A snail has no house,

no tent and no baggage,

It's easier that way when
he's searching for cabbage.

He has a neat way

to stay dry,
safe and well,

It's swirly
and pretty

and we call it a...

[everyone together]
Shell!

[laughing]

Hey Sally!

We can explore the
rest of the back yard!

Ooh, and I'll
get the stuff.

We don't need
any stuff...

Let's explore
like snails!

Except ah,
[laughs]

this time:
no cabbage.

And definitely
no slime!

[laugh]
