- Sally said
to meet us right here.

Fish, I wonder what she wants.

- I don't know, but I hope
it's something terrific.

- Nick!

Guess what today is?

- Is it Fish's birthday?

Happy birthday, Fish.

- It's not my birthday,
but I wish it was.

- No.

It's the day I fly
my very own kite,

and I'm going to get it up
in the air all by myself.

Watch this.

[panting]

[squeaking]

- Watch out, Sally!

- Huh? Whoa!

♪

- You okay?
- Yeah.

But I'm not sure my kite is.

Kites are supposed to fly,
right?

What am I missing?

- Hmm.

I think you're missing
the wind.

- Did someone say...

[groans]

Wind?

- [laughs]
Cat.

What are you doing?

- Walking...
[blowing]

Against the wind to get to you.

- [laughs]
Very funny, Cat.

But we need some real wind
to fly Sally's kite.

- Yeah. The problem is,

there's not enough wind
to get it to fly.

- Well,
wind is just blowing air...

but we can't see air.

Then how do we know
there's enough to fly a kite?

Hmm. I see your problem.

- I know the perfect place
to figure it out.

The Windnasium.

- I love the sound of that.

Let's go.

- Winderful.
[laughs]

Your father won't mind at all
if you do.

[upbeat music]

- Dad.

Can we go to the Windnasium
with the Cat in the Hat

to see how much wind we need
to fly my kite?

- The Windnasium?

Sounds like a real blowout.

[laughs]
Have fun.

- We can go, we can go!

Yeah.

Huh?

It still doesn't work.

- We have the same problem
we had in the backyard.

No wind.

- Hmm. And they call this place

- They do indeed.

Because you make

- [laughs]
Make our own wind?

How?

- Ready to have
your minds blown?

Ta-da!

- [laughs]
What's that thing?

- It's a wind-making
Bluster Guster.

I'm a huge fan.
[laughs]

[both laugh]

Check this out.

♪

- [gasps]
There's wind.

- Is there?
How do you know?

I thought
you couldn't see the wind.

- No.

But I can feel it on my skin.

- It's light and tickly.

- If we can feel the wind,
it must be there,

even if we can't see it.

- And if there's wind,
that means I can fly my kite.

Watch this.

♪

- Yay!

[whistling]

Yowch.

- I guess there was enough wind
to feel it on our skin

but not enough to fly a kite.

- Cat, look.

Could we make a bigger wind

with that bigger
Bluster Guster?

- Let's give it a whirl.

[cymbal shimmering]

[Bluster Guster rattling]

Thar she blows.

- I was right.
The wind is stronger.

I can feel it
even more on my skin.

- Me too.

But what's that tinkling soundI hear?

- It's coming from over there.

- Look.
Those chimes are swaying.

That's what's making
the tinkling sound.

- I've got an inkling

that there is a reason
for that inkling.

- Maybe the reason
is that the wind

is pushing them
into each other.

- Yeah.

So we might not be able
to see the wind,

but we can hear
the things it moves

when it's strong enough
to push them around.

- Hear, hear.

But is the wind strong enough

to make your kite fly?

- Let's try it.

- It's working!
It's working!

It's not working.

- Maybe that even bigger
Bluster Guster can help.

- Let's give her a spin.

[upbeat music]

[grunts]

- This is
the strongest wind yet.

- Look at the pinwheels, and...
what is that thing?

- Did someone lose a sock?

- Hmm. Not me.

- Look!
The big Bluster Guster

is making enough wind
for everything here to move.

- So maybe the sock's there
to show us

how strong the wind is.

- That makes total sense.

You can't see wind,

but you can feel it
on your skin.

- And you can hear
the things it pushes around.

- And see it lift things up
like that sock.

- And like my kite.
Look, Nick.

The wind is strong enough
to fly it.

This is so much fun.

[sighs]

But how will I know

when there's enough wind

to fly my kite at home?

I wish there was a way
I could tell,

wherever I am.

- Maybe there is.

All I need
is something to write with.

- Something like
a Doodlemaboodle?

A Doodlemaboodle
can write anywhere.

You can write what you're
thinking right here in the air.

- Okay, here's what we know.

When we can only feel the wind
a little on our skin,

Sally's kite won't fly.

- And when we feel
the wind more

and hear it push things around,

the kite flutters a little
but won't fly.

- And when the wind's
strong enough

for us to feel it, hear it,

and see it lift things up,
we can fly a kite.

- With this much wind,

I can fly my kite all day.

- [panting] There... just...

might be a problem with that.

Sally, I'm afraid
I'm too winded.

- Well, it was fun
while it lasted.

[sighs] I guess kite flying's
done for the day.

- Ah, maybe not.

When you need some more wind

and you're feeling quite blue,

it's the time you should call
on Thing One and Thing Two.

Whoa!
I can't hold on to my kite!

- Don't worry, Sally.
We got you.

Uh-oh.

- Cat, your hat!

- We have to get it back!

- You have other hats,
right, Cat?

- Of course I do.

Unfortunately,
I keep them in that hat!

- Things, you have to slow down
the Bluster Guster.

[both grunting]

both: Uh-oh.

[Bluster Guster sputters]

♪

- Oh, no.

- We don't have
a Bluster Guster

strong enough
to move those blades.

- No, but we have two
smaller Bluster Gusters

to make some wind,

and we have
an expert kite flyer.

- Yes! If you can make
enough wind to fly my kite,

I can use it to knock the hat
off the windmill.

- That's so clever,
it might just work.

Let's do this with gusto.

Welcome home, hat!

- Great kite flying, Sally.
- Thanks.

I can't wait to fly it
in our own backyard.

- But how will you know
there's enough wind?

- I think we now have ways
of finding out.

- I don't get it, Sally.

What are you doing
with your dad's sock?

- It's a wind sock.

Like the one in the Windnasium.

- Okay. But why are you
hanging spoons to dry?

- It's like the wind chimes
we saw.

- And now we're ready
for the checklist.

Right, Nick?

- Right. Okay.

Can we feel any wind?

- Check.

- Can we hear it
push things around?

[spoons clanging]

- Check.

- Can we see it lift things?

[wind howling]

- Check-arooni.

- Then, the wind's strong
enough to fly a kite.

- Hmm.
What's that sound?

- I see dandelion seeds
blowing in the wind.

- All right!
You both got one. Great game.

- Wait.

I can find more.

Look. The wind is making
those pinwheels spin.

- And I can hear wind
making the wind chimes ring.

- Okay.
Now you've got two each.

They're really good
at this game.

- Look. The wind is making
the curtains flap.

- The wind's even making
your water ripple, Fish.

Well, now you know.

Fish's Wind-a-Rama is a game

that can go on and on

Ugh! Huh? What's this?

- Laundry.

It was flapping in the wind
on the clothesline.

all kinds of signs

of wind blowing
if you keep looking.

- I don't think
you can jump that high, Nick.

- But that's my best flyer.

How else am I gonna
get it down?

- That's a real problem.

- Hmm.[gasps]

Why don't you try
throwing something up

to knock it off the branch?

Maybe it'll fall.

- Great idea.

This will be perfect.

Ah!

Not your best flyer!

- It's true.

as high as a tree.

- Nobody can jump
as high as a tree.

Ah!

Jumping jelly beans!

It's called Gravity Drop.

What makes this place
so special?

- Yeah.

And how are we going to jump

as high as one of these trees?

- You'll see in a second,

but first,
I have to put these on.

- What are those big,
heavy boots for?

- Someone needs to keep
their feet on the ground.

[groaning]

Ah! Especially when
there's less gravity.

[panting]

- What's that machine, Cat?

- And what happens
if you turn that dial?

- There's only one way

Give it a try.

[machine hisses]

- Hey. I feel different
all of a sudden.

- I feel funny too.
Uh... who moved the ground?

- We're floating!

[water sloshes]

- Look. I'm a flying fish.

- What did you do
with that machine, Cat?

- It's a Gravitometer.

It can change
the amount of gravity

that's pulling us down.

Isn't it fun?
[laughs]

[electricity sizzles]

♪

[whistling]

- Oh, yeah.
Tons of fun.

- Hey, Cat.
Why didn't you float like us?

- These heavy boots
give gravity more to pull on

and keep me on the ground.

- So how does this thing work?

- Gravity is why things
fall down instead of up.

- Wah!
- See?

- So even if you hold something
way up from the ground,

gravity pulls it back down?

- Yes. It also holds us down
so we don't float away.

- That's why I couldn't
jump up to get my plane.

Gravity was pulling me down.

- But with the Gravitometer,

you can feel what it's like
to have more or less gravity.

- Cool!
Can we play some more?

- Abso-toodly-doo.

[grunts, pants]

Less gravity coming right up.

Now, jump!

[both grunt]

- [laughs]

[gasps]
Look, Sally.

With less gravity
holding me down,

I'm jumping as high as a tree.

- Less gravity's pretty cool.

- It is kind of fun to float
outside my bowl for a change.

- Too bad we're stuck
with gravity back home.

If it was like this,

I could get my plane down,
no problem.

- Hey! Why don't we use
the Gravitometer

to make less gravity back home?

- Great idea.
Can we, Cat?

- That would be fun.

But I'm afraid
the Gravitometer only works

here on Gravity Drop.

- Oh, well.
Better have fun while we can.

[grunts]

- Yah-ha!
[laughs]

- Careful you don't push
too hard, Nick.

- Why? Because I might not
come back down?

- I'm sure you'd come
back down eventually.

- Great.

- Time to get back in my bowl.

♪

- Cat.

Maybe you should dial up
a little more gravity,

just to be safe, okay?

- Why just a little?

We know
what less gravity feels like.

Let's see what more gravity
feels like.

- Let's bring you down
before we turn gravity up.

[grunts]

- Whoa!

- Oh. Ah!

[whistling]

[all grunt]

- Yeah.
First, I was a flying fish.

Now I'm a flat fish.

- [grunts]

I feel so heavy.

- [grunts]
So does Fish.

has a stronger pull on you,
