Hmmm...

Hmmm...

My rainbow looks
like a hill.

And my rainbow
looks like a banana.

I think a rainbow has
lots more colours, Nick.

If only we could
see a real rainbow.

Then we'd know the
right colours to use!

Ahhh!
Oooh...

Huh?

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

[Laughs]



Oh,
I expect rain

to come down from the sky,

not up from the ground!

Hmmm....I thought I
knew a lot about rain!

Do you know a lot
about rainbows?

Can you tell us
what colours to use?

And
how many?

And which one
goes on top?

And on
the bottom?

So many questions!

You need to meet
King Kaleidoscope

in the castle
of Colour-ga-lore!

A king?

A king who
loves colours.

He knows even more
about rainbows than me.

Can we go?

Please!

Of course!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

[laughs]

Mom, can Nick and I go to Colour-ga-lore

and learn how to
paint rainbows?

Colour galore?
Sure.

I love rainbows!

Oh maybe you can
bring one home for me!

[laughs]

We can go!
We can go!

I know,
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Colour-ga-lore has to
be my favourite place!

I love to paint!

And I never run out of water!

Fish is soooo talented!

Buckle up!

[horn]



Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[giggles]

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



[giggles]
Isn't this fun?

Yahooooooo!

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!

Look a castle!

Everything's so
colourful!

This must be Colour-ga-lore!

It is!
It is!

Now let's find
King Kaleidoscope!

Oh,
I hope he's home!

Hel-lo!

Can we come in?

The cat in the Hat!
Why of course!



Your colourful Highness!

Allow me to introduce
Sally and Nick.

Hello,
your Highness.

Pleased
to meet you.

Welcome to color-ga-lore.

What brings you to my
colour-filled kingdom?

Well, your majesty,
we want to paint a rainbow.

What a wonderful idea!

But we don't know
what colours to use.

Or which one to
put on the top...

You mean you don't
know the rainbow song?

No.

Follow me!
Follow me!

Of course,
the rainbow song!

I was just going
to suggest that...

It's my special favourite!

By Royal Command,

the Cat will now sing
the Rainbow Song!

[Clears throat]

♪ If you want to
paint a rainbow, ♪

♪ There are things
you need to know. ♪

♪ There are always
seven colours ♪

♪ and this is how they go!

Did cat make up this song?

With a little
help from me.

And a little help from
Things One and Two.

[Cat Whistles]

♪ Red -
like a tomato ♪

♪ is always at the top,
you know. ♪

♪ Orange,
like an orange, ♪

♪ is the one that's
just below. ♪

Yahoo!

Yahoo!

[giggling]

♪ Yellow like a ba-nana

♪ is third upon the scene.



♪ Let's have one more
it's number four, ♪

♪ it's green,
green green. ♪

♪ Next after green,
for you and you and you! ♪

♪ It's my very
favourite colour, ♪

♪ it has to be blue!

[applause]Blueberries!



♪ And now there is a colour

♪ that you may not know,

♪ It's a different
sort of blue ♪

♪ and we call it indigo...



♪ Indigo, go, go
on an adventure! ♪

♪ The thingamajigger
is up and away... ♪

Uh, uh... uh...

Wrong song!

Sorry.
Where was I...

Oh yes!

♪ Last on the list

shade of purple ♪

Now you can all join in!

♪ Red, orange, yellow,

♪ That's our rainbow
song for you! ♪

Hooray!

Now we know the
colours of the rainbow!

And the right order.

[trumpeting]

What's happening?

Ooooh this
is so exciting!

A rainbow!

A rainbow has
just been spotted!

It's so sunny!

And rainy...

Both sun and rain!
Perfect rainbow weather!

I royally declare you

my official
rainbow catchers!

Follow that rainbow,
before it gets away!

To the Thingamajigger!



You know it's pretty hard
to catch a rainbow...

Look!

It's so colourful!

Just like the
rainbow song!

♪ Red, orange, yellow,

♪ then green
followed by blue, ♪

♪ Indigo and violet.

♪ That's our rainbow
song for you! ♪

[all together]
Hooray!

We don't seem to be getting
any closer to that rainbow!

It really is hard
to catch a rainbow.



And now it's gone!

What are we going
to tell the King?

I have an idea!

Where is it?
Did you catch it?

Sorry your majesty.

It can't be done.

No one can
catch a rainbow.

Well, I've been
trying for a long,

long time and I
never got near.

But you can could still
have your own rainbow.

[GASP]
I can?

We'll make you one.

Now we know the colours,
it'll be easy!

Oooh goody!

If building a rainbow
is what you must do,

That's a most perfect job

for Thing One and Thing Two!

[WHISTLES]



That's only colours!

Taa-daaa!

[Gasp] We can paint
the other three!

Let's go!

♪ Red, orange, yellow,

♪ then green
followed by blue, ♪

♪ Indigo and violet.

♪ That's our rainbow
song for you! ♪

That's wonderful!

My very own rainbow!

But look at the
mess we made.

Time for the Super-Quick-
Paint- Cleaner-uppers!

[WHISTLES]



[laughing]

Hey,
look!

They made a rainbow!

A real rainbow!

Quick,
catch it!

Hey.
Where did it go?

Um. Can you please
move your foot,

your majesty?

Look!
It came back!

It's the sunlight
shining on the water

that makes the rainbow!

So that's why you see a rainbow

when it's raining and sunny!

And why we couldn't
catch a rainbow...

because it's
made of light!

Oh my word!
You really are so clever!

I've got a rainbow!

I've got a rainbow!

You don't have to
catch one any more!

You just need sunshine
and some water.

And for days when
it's not sunny,

you have the rainbow
we painted for you!

Oh, thank you!
It's beautiful.

Are you ready to go home
and paint your pictures?

I have an even
better idea!

We brought you back something
from Colour-Ga-lore.

Okay Nick,
turn it on!

Ta-da!

Wow!
A rainbow.

Oh,
I love it!

[LAUGHS]

♪ Red, orange, yellow,

Mmmm.

I love strawberries,
Sally.

Mmmm.
Me too, Nick.

It's okay to eat
just one more.

Just one...

Just one...

[together]
Mmmm.

[laughing]



Oh!



Well,
we could share...?

Why not save
it for the Cat?

It's the Cat...

The Cat in the Hat!

I lovvve picnics!

So do we!

And I looooooooove
strawberries

even more than I
loooooove picnics!

Awww,
it's gone!

Where's the
last strawberry?

Someone took it.

Can you help us
find out who, Cat?

I've got a better idea.

We'll ask Cluey Looey.

Who's Cluey Looey?

"From a yellow school bus

to a bowl of chop suey,

You've lost it!

I'll find it!

The name's Cluey Looey!

Come to the
Muddyfeet Waterhole

and 'follow the prints!'

What prints?

Maybe he means footprints

- like that picture.

Why don't we go
and find out?

Yaah!

Your Mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom?
Can Nick and I go

to Muddyfeet Waterhole
to see Cluey Looey?

Muddyfeet Waterhole?

[laughs] Okay.
But you'll need rubber boots!

Yeah!

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thing-ma- jigger!

Where are we going today?

Muddy-feet Waterhole!

Muddyfeet Waterhole?

I'll get mud all over my bowl!

It'll be fun!

Buckle up!

There it is...

Muddyfeet Waterhole.

Wow,
it's big.

Mud splash!

Whoops!

[laughing]

This mud is great!

But we need to look for
Cluey Looey's footprints.

That's my footprint!

And there's my footprint.

That's my paw-print.

Ughhh...

And that's my tail print.
[laughs]

Look!
Over there!

Those prints
are different.

They're bigger than ours!

We've found...Cluey
Looey's footprints!

What do we do now,
Cat?

What Looey said:
Follow the prints!

♪ Follow the prints!

♪ Who can tell what

Look!

It's Cluey Looey!

Oh, Cat,
my old friend!

You've come in
the nick of time,

I'm in terrible trouble!

Have you lost
something?

My hat!

[Gasp]
Your hat!

But Cat said you were
good at finding things.

I have to be good at
finding things because

I'm always losing them.

We lost our
strawberry.

We think someone
took it.

Can you help us
find out who?

Of course! You've come
to the top man.

I track down missing
strawberries all the time.

And will do so for you...

As soon as I find my hat.

Where do you
think it's gone?

All my detective
skills tell me

that someone must
have taken it.

But, fear not!
We'll track them down.

How?

Ah, that's the
clever part!

Anyone who's been here today
will have left foot-prints.

Are those footprints
over there?

[Gasp]
They're gi-normous!

Allow the expert...

Mmmm!

Large feet, padded to
take extra weight...

That looks like...

Ella the Elephant to me!

Let's find her!

We know
what to do.

Ow!

Who put this wall here?

I'm not a wall!

[laughing]

It's Ella!

Ohhh!

I can see that now!

[Giggle]

ugh!

We're looking for
Clooey Looey's hat.

Did you borrow it?

Oh no.

His hat's too
small for me!

Mmmm.

My top-tracker thinking is

that someone else took it.

Yeah, I don't think
elephants wear hats.

Hmm...
Bath time!

Ohhhh!

Watch and learn from
an ace detective!

Uhm...
Not a print in sight!

Hmmm,
is this one?

It doesn't look like a footprint.

Just three little lines.

Footprints come in
all shapes and sizes.

Make way for Looey!

A-ha!

That's a
bird's foot.

Do you know what
kind of bird?

I'd guess it's Beatty
the Bee- Eater!

She's always hopping
round the tree.

We know what to do!

Why that's better.

Now where did the
bird prints go?

Why they just disappeared.

Hey I see some
more over there.

My you are clever!

Whoa!
They disappeared again!

[bird tweeting]

That's because the bird's
walking and then flying.

Looking for me?

They didn't give me the Finest
Finder Prize for nothing.

I'm right.
It is Beatty!

Looey's lost his hat.

Not again!

You don't have it,
do you?

No!
His hat's too big for me.

Way too big.

And Bee-Eaters
don't need hats.

Bye Bye!

I'm beginning to think
we'll never find your hat.

Or our strawberry.

We will!

Or my name's not er...
not...

Cluey Looey!

That's the one!

[laughing]

Even top-trackers sometimes
miss a vital clue.

We must look again.

Those are Beatty's
bird prints!

These are Ella
the elephants...

Ah ha!
Oh, those are mine!

[Gasp] And look - there's Nick's...

And Sally's...

And mine!

Isn't this fun?

What about those?

They're smaller
than Ella's...

And bigger than Beatty's...

They're a bit like
toes or fingers...

And they go to
the tree and stop.

I should have known.

Cyril the Baboon!

Cyril!

[monkey sounds]
[laughing]

Hey look!

[laughing]

You always forget to
look in the tree, Looey!

He's playing a game.

Can I have my
hat back, please?

Okay!
Just having fun!

I'll throw it to ya.

Uh-oh!

Sorry!

What do we do now?

We'll never get
it out of there!

Looey's hat's
in the mud.

What can he doo-ey?

I'd say we need help from

Thing One and Thing Two-ee!

[WHISTLES]

Wee!

Careful!



Remember -
clean bowl!

Oh!

Oh dear!



Yikes!

MY BOWL!

Huh,
oh well...

[Gasp]
Fish made a finprint!

Yay!

[laughing]

If you can't b*at 'em,
join 'em.

Now can you tell
us how to find

our missing strawberry,
Looey?

[chuckles]

Ahhh, you don't
need me.

You can do it
yourselves!

You're both
top-trackers now!

We just have to look
for foot- prints...

Then we can work
out who made them

and where
they've gone to.

All we have to do is...

See ya later Cat!

Footprints are marks that
are left on the ground,

You'll see all
shapes and sizes

if you look around,

But as for who made them;

well,
here's a hint...

Feet are the same size

and same shape
as their print!

Look, there are
some footprints!

Those are ours.

And those must be Mom's...

Aha!

Tiny,
little footprints!

So it must be
a small animal.
