What?

Not-jumping!

It's-the-

Okay,
okay.

You don't need to jump
up and down about it!

Nice to meet you.

Why, a pleasure
I'm pretty sure.

We're looking for the
best jumper in the world

to help us jump higher.

You've come to
the right place.

Jumping's a great
thing to do.

I love it.

Jump, jump,

Phew!

We can't jump as

How do you

It must be those feet!

Whoa!

You must wear size one
hundred and eleven shoes!

[laughing]

My big feet
help push me up.

And strong legs and
a long tail for balance

and you've got...

The best jumper
in Jumpalaroo!

[Giggles]
I was going to say,

a pretty good jumper
but not the best.

Who jumps better than you?

The jumping twins,
Gary and Barry.

Are they
kangaroos too?

Nope. Take a look
for yourself guys.

They're jumping this way.

[laughing]

Gary and Barry
are grasshoppers!

They're better jumpers
than kangaroos?

Ohh, we have
to meet them!

To the Thingamajigger!

Aren't we too big to
talk to grasshoppers?

Yes! Press the

I can jump
higher than you.

No, I can jump
higher than you.

No, I can because I have
stronger legs than you do.

No, I have stronger
legs than you do!

Wow,
grasshoppers are

better jumpers
than kangaroos.

They're going way
up in the air.

Excuse me.

May we have a word?

Sure can.
I'm Gary!

And I'm Barry!

We're looking for the
best jumper in Jumpalaroo.

That's me!

No,
it's me!

Why don't you
both jump together

and we'll see
who jumps highest?

Okay!

[WHOOPEE]

[WAHOO]

Who's jumping highest?

They're jumping so high,
I can't tell.

I've got what you need!

Go-go
jumpers!

Hold on!
Hold on.

Those go-go jumpers are
still set for kangaroo jumps.

If you want to jump as
high as Gary and Barry,

dial them up
to Grasshopper!

WEEEEEEEE!

Now you're jumping!

I'm higher than you!

No, I'm higher
than you!

You're both the best
jumpers in Jumpalaroo!

Who jumped higher?

Yeah, yeah...
Who jumped higher?

Barry...

oh no,
well Gary...

I don't...er...
ya know...

I can't pick!

You're both so good.

Well I know who
the best jumper is.

Yeah me!

No,
not you...

Fred.

Oh yeah,
Fred.

I guess he is
a little better.

Who's Fred?

You know Fred.
Fred, the Flea.

You'll find Fred on
a bird or a dog

or maybe that
Dingo over there!

Thanks, Barry....
er, Gary.

Sorry to buzz unannounced.

We're looking for
Fred the Flea.

Have you seen him?

Ugh-uh...
yes!

He's on my back.

Could you ask him to
hop onto someone else.

He's making me itchy!
Hugh!

We'll ask him
for you Mr Dingo.

Lets' go.

Wait, we need
to go even smaller

to find the best jumper.

If we get any smaller

we're going to
disappear!

Wow, we're
so small that

the Dingo's hair
looks like trees.

How will

Don't worry.
He'll find us.

oh boy, visitors!

I love meeting
new people.

[laughs]

Well, we're very
happy to meet you.

Do you know anything
about jumping?

Jumping?
I love to jump!

Whoppeeeeeeeeeeee!

Barry and Gary
were right!

Fred can jump much higher
than a grasshopper!

Whoppeeeeeeeeeeee!

Jumping onto
passers-by

lets me get around
piggy-back style!

It helps to have

super springy legs,

but you still have
to jump right.

Can you
show us how?

Can I?
Sure!

First,
I curl up like a ball,

then I push with my legs

and spring up with
everything I've got.

Aaah!
Whoppeeeeeeeeeeee!

Curl...push

That's my best
jump ever!

We had a great time
in Jumpalaroo.

With grasshoppers,
flea,

and a grey
kangaroo.

Each one's a
great jumper

who can jump
really high.

We picked up some tips,

now let's give
them a try.

Okay,
Sally,

think like a Kangaroo.

With your big feet
ready to push up!

And with all the strength in
my strong grasshopper legs.

Now, Curl up like
a Flea and...

JUMP!

Whoa!

I did it!
I jumped really high.

Great jump,
Sally.

So we won't
lose it again!

I wish Fred
was here to see!

Yeah, I wonder
where he hopped to.

I think I know.

Ugh!

Aaaah!
On me!

Ow...

♪

[laughing]

Every time
we get near,

he flies away,
Nick.

Yeah. He's just too
quick for us, Sally.

We'll never know how to colour
in the butterfly wings

if we can't see it up close.

Hm.

I'll get close
to him this time.

Ooof.

No.
It's no good.

We're way too slow!

Too slow?

It's the Cat.

The Cat in the Hat!

You're not too slow.

You're too fast!

Too fast?

If you move fast,

you'll scare
it away.

You need to be
r-e-a-ll-y, really slow

to get near a butterfly.

Wow!

You did it,
Cat!

♪

Ah ha choo!

Oh!

Going slow is
really hard to do.

Oh it is!

But I do know a slowpoke

who might show you how.

Really?

A Sloth called Onslow.

A Sloth?
What's a Sloth?

A sloth is a creature
who's slower than slow.

He lives in the
forest of Go-Go Largo.

Can we go-go
visit him?

Yeah!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

Mom, can we visit
Go-Go Largo

and learn how
to go slow?

Go slow?
That'll be the first time

you guys have
ever been slow.

[laughs] Hmmm sure,
go ahead.

We can go!
We can go!

I know,

But where's Onslow?

Let me check his address.

Hmmm...Seven hundredth
and forty-sixth

tree from the left.

One, two, three,
four, five...

[mumbles]...
seven hundred and forty-six.

This is his tree.

I don't see anything.

Except for that green ball.

Green ball you say?

That's not a green ball.

Take a look?

Is that Onslow?

It is!

Cool!
He's all green!

Can I see?

Um...
Where is he?

The green covering his fur

makes him hard to see
amongst all those leaves.

Oh,
I see him now.

But he's not green.

There's green stuff
sticking to his brown fur.

That would be algae.

Algeeeee?

Algae is green stuff,
that grows

on trees and rocks.

Onslow is so slow,

it even grows on him!

Cool!

Hey, Onslow!
Hello! Onslow!

Look Sally!
Another butterfly!

Let's draw
that one instead!

Good idea!

[chuckle] Hey,
don't fly around!

[laughing] We just
want to see your wings.

[laughing]

Slow down,
you're going too fast.

Onslow!

Sorry we woke
you up my friend.

How's it going?

Slow.

Hey there little feller.

Hey. There goes
our butterfly!

He sat on your
head Onslow.

Yep.

That's because
I move so slow,

he didn't get startled.

Wow!

Can you show us
how to do that?

We want to be slow,
like you!

Wait there and
I'll climb down.

♪

[yawns]

♪

[sigh]
Isn't he down yet?

[Yawning]
Well, huh..

why don't we meet
Onslow half way, huh?

We'll have more time
to hang out together.

When you
said 'hang out'

you really meant it!
[giggle]

Onslow, why
do you move so slowly?

Well if I move
slowly then

I don't need
to eat so much.

Do you just eat leaves?

Every meal.

We want to move slowly to
get close to butterflies.

That'll work.

How about you guys
have a race?

But racing is fast.

I think he means
a slow race!

[chewing]
Yep.

Cat's got it right.

[yawns]

Remember,
this is a slow race.

Last one to cross the
finish line's the winner!

On your marks!

Get set...

Go slow!

[laughing]

And they're off!

Nick takes an early lead but
Sally is going nowhere fast.

You can't catch me!

I'm trying not to.
Remember?

Oh yeah.
I forgot.

[laughing]

Woo hoo!

This race might be
the slowest race ever!

Out of the way,
slowpokes!

You're holding up traffic!

Hi ya,
Speedy.

How's it going,
Onslow?

Slow,
as usual.

What a race!

You've got to be going slow
if a tortoise is passing you!

[laughing]

I won a race?
Wow!

Sorry, Speedy, but
you came in last.

I did?

Nick and Sally were
waaaaaaay slower than you!

Slowest wins.

Way to go,
slow!

Look,
the butterfly!

Now's our chance to
get a closer look.

Remember!

Go slow or you'll
scare it away.

[gasps]
Ohhh!

Nearly there.

But you need to
go even slower.

We had quite an
adventure In Go-Go Largo,

where Onslow the
Sloth showed us

how to go... slow.

Just being with him,

has slowed us right down.

Onslow was right!

By slowing down,
we did get close enough

to see its beautiful wings!

How about another
s-l-o-w race?

Sure,
I can

s-l-o-w race all day!

Come on,

No thanks.
