WHOOOSH!

ZOOOOM!

Look Sally,
I'm flying!

I'm coming in
for a landing Nick!

ZOOOOM!

Me too!

[skidding sound]

Phew!
My wings are tired.

I wish we could
really fly, Sally.

It would be so cool!

Hello,
down there!

Huh?

Hey!
The Cat!

It's the Cat in the Hat!

Why yes,
it's me!

I spotted you waving

so I hurried right down!

Oh,
I wasn't waving,

I was flapping
my arms

like bird
wings.

We were whooshing and zooming,

pretending we could fly.

Oooh,
I happen to know a bird

who knows all about

WHOOSHING and ZOOMING!

[gasp]
No way?

Absolutely!

Let's go visit him
on the coast of

Shiver-me-blue.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

MOM?

CAN SALLY AND I GO SEE

A WHOOSHER AND ZOOMER?

SURE. IF YOU CAN
CATCH UP TO THEM.

THEY SOUND LIKE THEY'RE FAST.

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

[honk]



Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[giggles]

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



[giggles]
Isn't this fun?

Ya-hooooooo!

[honk honk]

Shiver-Me-Blue!
Here we come!

Dress up warm kids!



Oooh!

Wow.
This place is cool!

I think you mean,
COLD.

Brrr...It's enough to
freeze your fins off.

There! These will
keep you cozy.

Earmuffs?

What more could
a fish ask for...

except ears.

Hey,
Nick look!

Wow... oh,
a penguin!

It's Percy Penguin!

I'd recognize that
spiffy outfit anywhere!

How can you tell?

They ALL have spiffy
black and white outfits.

Heeeey,
Cat my friend.

How's the
whiskers?

Fit as fiddle strings.

And you're looking in

mighty fine shape
young Percy.

Gotta keep in shape
- regular exercise,

workin' on my moves.....
You know me...

Zoom. Zoom.
GONE!

Let's try it.

[Nick and Sally]
Zoom. Zoom. Gone!

Hey. You guys are
practically penguins.

Nice job.

Want to see my
specialty?

The waddle.

Yeah!
- Yeah!

This must be where he runs
down the runway and takes off!

We're right
behind you Percy!

We aren't zooming
very much.

Percy,
aren't we moving

too slowly to
start flying?

Flying?
[chuckle].

Who said anything
about flying?

Oh, we thought you
could teach us to fly!

I am a penguin.

...Penguins
can't fly.

Ohhhh!

Hmm...Did I forget
to mention that?

Why do all that
flapping and zooming

if you can't fly?

Well...

[whistle]
Up here! I can fly!

And I can glide.

And I can dive!

Yahoo!

[Squawk]

Heyyyy Gary.
What's up?

ME!
That's what's up!

Up in the air.

Flyin' high.

Yeah? Well you won't
catch me up there,

my fine feathered friend.

Bet you wish you had
feathers like mine.

Yes sireee...
perfect for flying.

[chuckle]

I have far MORE
feathers than you

and they're perfect for
keeping me warm and dry.

No way?

Is that true?

I can think of only
one way to find out!

Oh,
he's right!

Yeah, there's
zillions of feathers!

It's like having a waterproof jacket!

Hm...Okay, so maybe you
DO have more feathers

but mine are better
for flying.

Who needs flying?

Well it sure helps
gettin' to places fast.

I can b*at you
anywhere, any time.

Yeah? I'd like
to see you try.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay,
let's have a race,

First one to
Icy Iceberg!



[Sally]
Whoa!

That's a long way.

Oooh,
I love a race!

Icy Iceberg?

Nah.
It's easy...

for me...
I'll win.

Don't count
on it my friend.

Cat, how can Percy
win, if he can't fly?

He doesn't
stand a chance.

Oh I'm sure he'll be fine,

wooshing and
zooming...

...zoom zoom gone!

So,
are you ready to race?

On your mark...

See you at the
finish line, Gary.

Get set...

Sorry Percy.
Can't wait all day for you.

I'm a busy
bird y'know.

Squawk,
squawk.

GO! GO! GO!

Percy's falling
behind already.

Gary is way faster!

Cat, can't
we help him?

If you're last in a race
and don't know what to do,

who better to call

than Thing One
and Thing Two?

Are you sure this
is the best way?

If only we could
fly like him.

There's more than
one way to travel.

[cheering together]

Tight curve ahead!

Yahoo!

[cheering]

This race is in the bag.
I can relax.



Hi,
guys.

Hi,
Gary.

Hi, Gary,
how's it goin'?

You aren't gonna
believe this.

I'm racing a penguin!

[Laughter and squawks]

A penguin?!
[laughs]

I couldn't
lose if I tried!

[Laughs and squawks]

Right behind you,
Gary!

SEE YOU ON ICY ICEBERG!

Hey!

Hi Gary!

We're flying!

Woah!

Oops,
oh dear,

I forgot to pack
the water wings!

WHOAAAA!

OOOAFF!

Great timing!

Someone's gotta
look after you.

It's not over yet!

That penguin swims
better than I do...

And I'm a FISH!

He's not just
swimming...

He's
whooshing...

....and zooming!

Whoa!
[gasp]

Where did all this
wind come from?

It's slowing me down.

But I'm still the champ!

[huffing and puffing]
C'mon champ.

You're almost there.

YES!
YES!

I'M GOING TO WIN!

I win!



That was awesome!

We were flying
underwater!

Okay.
So you won.

This time.

Yeah, but
what does it matter,

as long as we all
had fun, huh?

LOTS of fun!

Heh heh.
Right.

Fun.

Looks like you'll have
a good tail wind

heading back to
Shiver-Me-Blue.

I will have a good
tail wind...

Race you home,
Percy!

Squawk, squawk, squawk!

Quick Percy...
he's got a head start.

That's okay.
I'll catch up to him!

Bye Everyone.

Zoom zoom - gone!

[everyone together]
Bye!

Anyone need a lift home?

Yeah!

zoom zoom zoom,

zoom zoom!

Hey Cat,
watch this!

Whoosh!

If learning to fly
sends you into a spin...

Who better to help than
a friendly penguin?

He flies under water
and over the ice

But stays on the ground,
which is fast,

fun and nice.

ZOOOOM!

Woo -who-who-whoooosh!

[laughing]



Look, Sally!
A spaceship!

With rockets.

I see,
uh,

a zebra....

No, no, no, no, a penguin.

A zebra-penguin!

[laughing]

Hey, Nick!
Look at that one!

It looks like...

It is...

The Cat in the Hat!

Ah, ha ha.

Did I hear you
say zebra-penguin?

Why I just passed
one on my way here!

[laughing]

We're looking at
shapes in the clouds, Cat.

Wanna play?

Oh, I love
this game.

Look!

A a...
a woompermadoodle.

[laughing]
You made that up!

Maybe it's a
zoom-pera-poodle?

No. No.
Oh...

now it's a
permadoodledoodle.

It keeps
changing shape.

Let's take a look.

Hey it's disappearing!

The wind is
blowing it away.

That's strange.
The wind blew me here.

But how?

I was out
flying my kite

and the wind blew
so hard that

all of a sudden the
kite was flying me.

Can we try
flying your kite?

Great idea!

Don't forget to
hold on tight.

Ready for
take off!

Here I go.

[huffing and puffing]

Hmm, now why didn't
that work?

A kite needs wind.

Maybe there's enough wind
to move the clouds

but not enough
to fly a kite.

How clever of you.

Oh, my you're
clever!

Kites need oodles of wind.

You know where we should go?

Where?

The valley of
Huff-Puff-Maguff;

it's the windiest
of windy places.

Shall we go?

Yeah!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom, can Sally and I
go to fly a kite

in the windy valley of
Huff-Puff-Maguff?

Huff Puff Maguff?

[laugh]
Why not?

Just make sure to
hold onto your string.

Okay Mom,
We will!

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

The valley of Huff-Puff-Maguff

is the perfect place...

...to try out my wind chimes.

[blow noise]

Ahhh...
So relaxing.

This is no
time to relax,

we've got a
kite to fly!

Buckle up!

[honk]



Flick the Jiggermawhizzer!

[honk honk]

Say 'hello' to
the valley of

Huff-Puff-Maguff.

And hang on to your haaaaaats!

It sure is
windyyyyyyy!

Whoah!

Oh no, no...
Heeeelp!

Hold on everyone!

What do you think I'm doing?

Whoah!

That was fun.
Can we do it again?

No way!

I need some chill
time with my music.

[deep breath]
Aaaaaaah!

There must be enough wind
to fly the kite here.

Let me see...

This is the
Wind-a-wonder-doodle...

for when you wonder
what the wind will do!

Cat, um...
that's a flag.

Where?
Where?

[Sally and Nick]
[laughing] Cat!

Unh?

It is!

Oh, you're
so right!

You can't see
the wind.

Ah, but you can see
it blowing that flag!

Uh, isn't life
intriguing?

It looks like it's
blowing harder!

Let's fly the kite!

On your marks,
get set...

Go!

We did it!

It's flying.

Hip hip hooray!

The wind's lifted it
way up into the sky.

Hey Nick, let's
see what it can do!

[effort sound]

A barrel roll,
I like it...

How about
a figure eight?

[effort sound]

Oh well that's only
half a figure eight.

More a
figure four.

Whoah!

The wind's getting
even stronger!

Oh no!
Nick's flying too!

Oh my!

Whoa!

Pah! It's just
a gentle breeze.

[Gasp]
Look!

Uh oh!

It's an extra super duper

'windy' breeze

Oohhh...

This is not my idea

of relaxed!

[struggling]
Can't... hold... it

much... longer!

Heave ho,
heave ho.

Heave ho,
heave ho.

Heave ho,
heave ho!

Heave ho,
heave ho!

Heave ho...

Ugh!

Our kite!

It's getting away.

Come on!

Ugh!



Where's it gone?

There!

It's too fast!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

[struggling noises]

It'll take me days
to untangle my wind chimes.

Eyah...
Is it home time?

No....It's time
to catch a kite.

Here we go go go!

[boing]

[honk]

Why didn't it
go go go?

[Gasp]
The wind's blown weeds

into the jiggermawhizzer!

If you ask me this wind

is nothing but trouble.

If you ask me,

it can be useful....

[honk, bell rings]



....and fun!

Hey
[giggle]

we're a boat
on wheels!

The wind is blowing
the sails

just like the flag!

Ha ha!
We're on wind power!

[Nick and Sally]
Hooray!

Follow that kite.



Look out Cat!

Press the
floatamaboater!

Aye eye
captain Cat.

[boing, honk]

Ah ha,

Captain Cat
at your service.

And sailor Sally!

And pirate Nick!

Look at the
Wind-a-wonder-doodle!

The wind's really blowing now!

You're right wind
can be useful!

And fun too!

Yay!

Oh,
I see the kite!

Land ho!

Wow! We've got
wheels again.

Cat! We're losing the Kite!

Why aren't we moving?

Oh no!
Look.

The sails are all floppy.

So's the Wind-a-wonder-doodle.

That means
there's no wind!

[everyone together]
Ahhh! Ohhhh!

Look, the kite's
stopped too.



Oh no!
It's stuck!

How will we get it out?

We can't.

Phew!
I'm hot!

Phew!
Me too!

Allow me!

A gentle breeze to cool you.

Hey! That fan
is making wind.

Clever,
huh?

If we had a great,
big fan

we could make enough wind
to blow the kite

right out of
the tree!

[Gasp]
What a great idea!

Let's get it done.

This is a job for
Thing Two and Thing One!

[whistle]



[giggling]



Awesome!



We need more wind!



I got it!

Cool!

Now is it home time?

Okay Cat,
here we go!

[effort noises]

Did it work?

Only one way
to find out:

flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[laughing]

[boing]

Yahoo!

Next stop,
ahhh, home!

Wa-hooo!

Wind moves us and cools us,

and flies our kite in the sky.

It's really such fun,
to give it a try.

But when the wind blows
with all of its might...

[takes deep breath]

Take my advice kids -

and please hold on tight!

Wahoo!

Yikes!

At least its not
windy underwater!

Wind check?

Let's go!

[laughing]

What fun!

Up up and Away!

[laughing]

Oh,
it looks pretty!
