- Heehee! Dada?
- The baby problem.

- Bébé. Hee! Hee! Hee!

(cheery music)

- OK, so I'm Peg
and this is Cat,

and we're just about
to finish building

the best, most amazing
block towers in the history

of the universe FOREVER!

- They're good.
- And what's great

is both towers
are TOTALLY identical.

- Huh?
- That means they're the same.

They have one really big
cylinder-shaped block

and one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten cube-shaped blocks.

- Cool!
- Now, they just need

a super cool, triangle-shaped
block to top them off.

Behold their brilliance!

So tall, so smooth, so...

- Yah!

- All over the floor!
- Whoops!

- Cat, you knocked
down my tower!

- Sorry.
- That's OK, Cat,

because, look, our towers
were exactly the same.

- Except for the color.
- Yeah, so I can just copy

your tower to rebuild mine.

- Phew!

Double oops!

- Oh no! Now, both towers
are knocked over,

and we'll never remember
how to rebuild them!

We've got a BIG PROBLEM!

(Cat crying)
Cat, that's it!

We can use the diagram
I drew earlier

to help us
rebuild our towers!

A diagram is a drawing that
shows where everything goes.

And so...

(Ding! Dong!)

Who is it?
- Baah!

- Oh! Hi, Mrs. Sheep.

- Prrrrt!
- Ah! Bwaaah!

- Hello.
- What's up?

- Maaah!
- You want us to watch Baby Fox?

Hmmm... Well, the thing is,

as much as we both LOVE babies--
- Love 'em!

- Ayeee-yeee.
- Actually, they
make me nervous.

- Me and Cat are
pretty busy right now.

- Very busy.
- Doing really important stuff.

- Very important.
- We've got these block towers

that absolutely
have to be built.

- Gotta build 'em.
- Dada?

- Awww... all right,
we'll babysit.

- Yeah!
- We will?

- Baaah!
- Buh-bye!

- Prfff! Prfff!
(Cat laughs nervously.)

- Good baby.
- OK, Baby Fox,

here's the deal:
I'm babysitter Peg

and this is assistant
babysitter Cat.

- Hey, "dat".
- We're the boss of you today.

Say, goo-goo, ga-ga
if you read me.

- Dada, do, day.
- Close enough.

You sit here and play nicely

with these itty-bitty
baby blocks

while me and Cat get back
to our important big-kid stuff.

- You are good at this.
- I know, right?

Now, let's get back to work.

We've got block towers
to rebuild.

- Hey, Baby Fox,

Baby Fox? Baby Fox?

Come out, come out
wherever you are.

- Whoa-oh-oh!
- Wah!

I wonder who built it.
- Prfff!

- Baby Fox?

(baby babbling)
Uh, Baby Fox,

I think you should
come down now.

That looks kind of dangerous.

Baby Fox, this is
babysitter Peg talking.

I repeat,
you come down right now!

- Yeah, what she said.

- Eeee!

- He's not listening to us.
- No, not really.

- If Baby Fox keeps
bouncing up and down

and all around up there,
he could fall and get hurt!

We've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

- Prfff! Prf-prf-prfff!

- Hmmm... maybe
we could climb up the tower

and carry him down.

The pieces are
all balanced just right;

one wrong step might knock
the whole thing down!

Hmm... Now what?

Yes! Great thinking, Cat!
We could blow

a really big bubble
for Baby Fox to jump down onto.

- Yes!

- OK. First, I'll chew it up.

(laughing)

(boy whistling a tune)
- It's Ramone!

Shhh! He can't see me
with gum all over my face!

(Ramone whistling a tune)
He's helping my mom

store old junk
in the attic.

(Peg gasps.)
Stairs!

We could build stairs
to climb up to Baby Fox.

We need stuff that will fit
together to make these steps.

- Everything's taken.
- We'll have to search

someplace else. But we can't
leave Baby Fox alone;

we gotta take turns.
You go find the first piece,

and I'll stay here and try
to get him to settle down.

- Check!

There, we...

Ah! Ooh! Ah! Ooh!

Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

Gotcha!

(Peg laughing)
♪ Oh, Mister Baby Fox ♪♪

Uh... how long
were you standing there?

- Long enough to hear you
say diapey.

(Peg and Cat laughing)
- Diapey is like underwear.

- Diapey!
(baby laughing)
- Prfff! Prfff!

- Baby Fox, be careful!

We gotta build
those steps fast

or he's gonna fall for sure!

Um, Cat, I'm not sure

that's the right shape.
The ball is round;

we need objects
that are square-shaped

with a nice,
flat surface to stand on.

- Check!

There we... Ooh! Ah!
Ooh! Oh! Ooh! Oh!

- Perfect! Flat and steady.

Uh, not so fast,
it's my turn to search.

You need to stay here
and entertain Baby Fox.

- Ha! Ha! Ha! Right...

(baby whimpering)
No cry.

No cry! Aaah...

(baby crying)
Peek-a-boo!

- Hee! Hee! Hee!

- Peek-a-boo!
- Aaah...

Oh.
- Peek-a-boo!

(baby laughing)
(Cat sighing)

- One cube-shaped rock.

And this box fits just right.

OK, we're almost done!
(Ding! Dong!)

Oh no! Mrs. Sheep
is here for Baby Fox,

but he's bouncing all over
and about to fall,

and we'll never
get him down.

We're like the worst babysitters
in the existence of everything!

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right.
I should count backwards

from five to calm down.

Five, four,

three, two,

one!

Our towers, that's it!

You've done it again,
you amazing genius Cat!

- Moi?
- Our towers have loads
of blocks; all we need to do

is knock them down, and...
(Peg gasps.)

We have to knock down our best,
most amazing towers ever

to save Baby Fox?

(Peg moans.)

Yes, it's definitely worth it.

Block knocker Cat,
would you like to do the honors?

- Yeah, you don't got
to ask me twice.

- Eeee!
- Hurry, he's falling!

Look. If we put
these triangle-shaped blocks

together, they make a cube.

- Who knew?

(baby laughing)

- Prfff!
- Got ya!

- Ayee-yee...
- (Peg and Cat): Awww!

So because we knew
all about solid shapes

and diagrams, we were able
to rescue Baby Fox.

- Math really saved this baby!

Uh... no, no trouble at all.
Right, Cat?

- This tower's pretty high-tech.

How did you build it?
- Oh! Hi, Ramone.

Um, well, you see,
we didn't actually build

this particular tower,

- You brave Knights
have such spirit!

I'm going to give you
two gifts to bring you good luck

on your quest.
- A diamond?

- Yes! But it's also
called a rhombus.

A rhombus is a flat shape

that has four sides
of equal length.

- (both): Rhombus.
(magical chime)

- Ah! It likes when
you call it a rhombus.

And knowing what
to call shapes

can be key to getting places

in this world. And this

is a rectangular prism.

It's a solid shape that's got
a rectangle on every side.

- You can't get
more rectangular than that.

- What's that you got there?
A rectangular prism?

I'll make you
a fair trade for it:

one new cube newly sparkled!
- Be careful,

this rectangular prism
has magical powers.

- Magical powers!?

- Whatever you point it at
will get out of your way.

- Alright, you twisted my arm,
two cubes and a pyramid.

- Whoa!

- Fine! I can tell
when I'm not wanted!

- Thanks for these gifts,
Mermaid,

I'm sure they'll come in handy.

Brave Knights of the Round Table
to the castle!

The throne room is back there,
but how are we going

to get past all these poles
blocking our path.

Cat, you're brilliant!

We'll use the rectangular prism
to get the poles out of our way!

- Great! Can I just finish?
All yours.

- Wow! How did we ever get by
without one of these

magical rectangular prisms?
- Life was hard back then.

- It's locked!

- Maybe there's a key
around here someplace.

- A key!

That's it, you brilliant,
genius face!

Mermaid said that knowing
the names of shapes

is key to getting places.
I bet she was trying to tell us

that this is the key
to getting in there.

- The rhubarb?
- No. Uh, Rhonda!

- Hm, rhaaa...
- Rhum?

- (both): Rhombus!
(magical chime)

- Ay "carhombus"!
- Aha!

We found you,
Your Highness!

We, the Knights
of the Round Table

are here to rescue
the Wizard Ramone

even if we have to look
in every nook and every cranny,

under every pig.
Excuse me, Your Majesty.

Thank you. We shall find him

for he is here!
- Oh-oh! Whoa! Oh-oh!

- I am here!
- For he is out there, and...

sorry about all that;
we'll be back

to clean all this up later.

- (both): Whooooooa!

- Ah, that was fun!

And at the same time, not.

- Cat, look!
It's the Dragon's cave!

Of course,
the Dragon LOVES spheres.

Ramone, we're coming
to save you.

- Soon-ish.
- Not a problem.

Can we just stop for a second

and sing a song
about how awesome

this rectangular prism is?

- ♪ It's a... ♪

- (Ramone): Help!
- Uh, we should probably

just save Ramone.
- Definitely!

- Hey there, Knights.
Care for a game of bounce?

- We're not in the mood
to play, Dragon!

Where is the sparkling sphere
holding Wizard Ramone?

- I'm... under... here!

- Under where?
- You said, underwear!

(laughing)
- I said underwear.

- Underwear! Underwear!
- Ow! Ooh! Hmm!

- Under... Ooh!

- Ramone, can get out
of that sphere?

- Need... sparkle... first.

- Ramone's totally lost
his sparkle,

and he is totally stuck inside
a totally squashed sphere!

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right, I should
count backwards

from ten by twos
to calm down.

- Nooo! Count forward
by twos to ,

everybody who believes
in wizards,

and I'll regain my sparkle.

- Everybody who believes in
wizards needs to count forward

by twos, but there's only one,
two, three of us here.

Where are we gonna find
more people to count with us?

- Did you check the pool?

- Yeah! OK, everybody!

And you too!
If you believe in wizards,

count by twos to !

And if you don't believe
in wizards...

TADA, there's a wizard!
What more proof do you need?

So, let's count!

- (all): Two, four, six,

eight, ten...

- It's working! Keep going!

- Twelve, fourteen,

sixteen, eighteen,

twenty!

- Phew! That's better!

- So by knowing about shapes,

and what to call them,
and how to count by twos;

we totally saved our friend,
the mighty Wizard Ramone!

- Math can restore your sparkle!
