Yaaaaa!
- OK, so, right here, today,
at the Three Bears' house,
we're about to make
play date history!
♪♪♪
I'm Peg, he's Cat, and we're
about to bring together...
- For the first time ever...
- The totally amazing
sax-playing Three Bears!
♪♪♪
And the incredibly awesome
musical genius
Ludwig van Beethoven!
- ♪ We can't wait to play
with Ludwig van Bay ♪
- Thoven.
- That sounds like him.
♪♪♪
Bears, Beethoven.
Beethoven, Bears.
- Allo!
- ♪ Come on in.
- Beethoven ♪
- ♪ So the play date can begin ♪
- Ugh!
- Beethoven can't get his piano
into the house.
- That thing is
too wide for our door.
- We've got a big problem.
- No, no, no, no.
Is no problem,
because the door is
a rectangle
and the piano has rectangles
on every side.
Rectangle, rectangle,
rectangle.
And I am very good
at working with rectangles.
They are
my favorite shape.
So, to fit this rectangle
through that one,
I will flip it
like this.
(Beethoven grunting with effort)
- Rectangle!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, Ludwig.
A much easier way to get
the piano in would be
to turn it sideways,
'cause this smaller rectangle
will fit right through.
- That Peg.
- She'll always know
the way to go.

- How come you bears
didn't play along?
- Well, it's a fine tune
and all...
- Thank you.
- But it's just not...
I don't know.
- It's not cool!
It doesn't swing!
- I like my little tune.
- The b*at's all wrong.
That's what's
messing you up, Ludwig.
- It's that "LOUD, soft,
LOUD, soft" pattern.
- Soft, LOUD, soft, LOUD
is the way to go.
- You got it backwards,
B man.
- Peg, give us a b*at

One. Oh, yeah!
- That was... nice.
- Thanks.
- But was kind of...
for me, a little too,
uh... not good.
- Really?
- That cockamamie b*at makes
your music a great big mess!
- Does it?
- When the b*at is
ONE, two, THREE, four,
you can march with pride.
- Yeah!
- But when it's
one, TWO, three, FOUR,
you can groove and slide.
- Oh, yeah!
- Could you guys play
to his b*at?
- Uh, no, thanks.
- Could you play
to their b*at?
- I don't think so.
- If I can't get my friends
to play together,
this will be the worst
play date ever!
We've got
a really big problem!
♪♪♪
- Oh, no, like this!
♪♪♪
- We got a problem all right.
- OK, well, we don't have to
play music to have a great
play date.
- (bears): No music?
- No music?
- Why play music when
we could... um...
eat! Yes,
everybody likes
to eat food, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- Got that right.
- Ja! Ja!
- Is lunch about ready,
Mama Bear?
- Serve it up, Baby Bear.
- Here it comes.
The Three Bears'
famous hot porridge!
- You got any wurst?
- The Bear's porridge is
really tasty, Ludwig.
Give it a try.
- Ow!
- You won't burn your mouth
if you use the perfect
porridge-eating pattern.
Tell it, Papa Bear.
- First, blow softly
to cool the porridge down.
Then eat it loud. Mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
- (all): Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
- No, no, no, no, no!
Soft, LOUD, soft, LOUD,
this is no way to eat!
Da, DA, da, DA!
You'll get seasick
and get a stomach ache!
- Really.
- You need to blow loud
then eat soft.
BLOW, eat, BLOW, eat.
- But you can't blow loud
on your food, Ludwig, or--
- Sure I can. Watch.
ONE, two, THREE, eat.
- Ah, ah, ah!
- Yo, B, your porridge eating
pattern is all wrong!
- And downright dangerous.
- You're supposed to
cool it down,
not blow it all around.
- Perhaps eating porridge is
not my specialty.
- Hey, I know a game we could
play that everybody loves,
and everybody becomes besties
when we play together.
It's Get Down!
- ♪ Get down, get down ♪
- ♪ The craziest game in town ♪
- ♪ You twist like this
- And you twist like this ♪

Ow.
- ♪ Everybody loves Get Down ♪
- I knew you guys would
totally get along.
- Oh, the fun we have
on that rectangle.
- Actually,
the mat is a square, see?
- I see a rectangle, and I am
a rectangle expert, so...
- Bears know squares.
- And that there: square.
- Well, at least we can all
agree it's not a circle, right?
Um, we could settle
this whole thing in two seconds
by going to the site
that has all the answers.
Ask Ramone.
Hey, digital Ramone.
Is the Get Down mat
a square,
or a rectangle?
- Both rectangles and squares
have four sides
that go straight up and down
and straight across.
But a square is
a special rectangle,
in which all four sides are
the same length.
The four sides of the mat are
the same length,
so it's a square.
- (Papa Bear): Wahoo!
- (Mama Bear): All right.
- (Baby Bear): Oh, yeah!
- But since every square is
a special rectangle,
the mat is
also a rectangle.
- Go, Ludwig! Go, Ludwig!
- Thanks, digital Ramone!
- I do what I can.
- All four of you were right,
so it's...
- Time to get down!
- Beethoven was not right.
He said the mat's not a square.
- Well--
- Uh-uh-uh. You said
it's not a rectangle.
- Did NOT.
- Did TOO!
- Did NOT!
- Please don't argue like that.
- Peg's right. You shouldn't
argue soft, LOUD, soft, LOUD.
Is much better to argue
LOUD, soft, my way!
- Our WAY!
- MY way!
- They can't even agree
how to argue!
- I'm going.
- Are not.
- Take this with you.
- I thought my friends would
get along. They can't even
get together for one song!
Everything's gone wrong.
- Hm! So long!
- I am totally freaking out!
(whistle blown)
- Cat's right.
We should all
just calm down,
as I take a deep breath and
count to four a couple times.
One, TWO, three, FOUR,
one, TWO, three, FOUR.
That's it, you snappy genius!
- Huh?
- You snapped
one, TWO, three, FOUR -
the Bears' b*at -
to Beethoven's melody.
To save this play date,
we gotta combine
Beethoven's super tune
with the Bears' coolest b*at.
- That's crazy talk, Peg!
- I don't see it.
- I don't hear it.
- I don't wanna hear it.
- When you're having
a play date, you can't always
do things totally your own way.
You gotta put what you like
together with what somebody
else likes.
Take a risk,
try something new,
mix is all up,
and just go with it. Got it?
- Sounds cool.
- Okie doke.
- Count it off, Cat.
- One, TWO, three, FOUR.
