[shivers] I do not like these cold, rainy winter days, Frog.
I think there's something beautiful about the rain.
[thunder rumbling]
I do not like it. Blah. The day is spoiled.
Poor Toad.
This is a very hard time of year for you, isn't it?
[sighs] Yes.
I wish Spring was here.
Then it would be warm and sunny.
But where is Spring, I wonder?
Toad, you just reminded me of something.
[stutters] I did?
Yes, a story.
Well, go ahead. I would like to hear it.
It will distract me from the cold and rain.
When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,
my father told me,
"Son, this is a cold, gray day. But Spring is just around the corner."
Huh. "Just around the corner."
Hmm. Ah, I see. Then we just have to find that corner.
And Spring will be on the other side.
Come with me, Toad.
We will look around corners until we find Spring.
Um, Frog, maybe we could look for Spring back at home,
where it's warm and dry, and where we have toast to snack on?
No, Toad.
If Spring is just around the corner, we need to get out there and find it.
[groans] Very well.
I just hope Spring is not too far away.
[gasps] Toad, look.
We cannot see around that big rock.
That would make it a corner!
We should look around to the other side at once.
And maybe we will find Spring!
Hello? Spring? Are you there?
-Hmm. -Did you find Spring?
No. There is only a pine cone and three pebbles.
Those are not Spring.
Do not worry, Toad.
This was just the first corner of many corners out there.
-We will keep looking. -Mm-hmm.
[creature snoring]
[gasps] Frog, listen.
[snoring continues]
-Do you hear that snoring? -I do.
It is coming from around that sharp turn in the path.
Another corner to look around.
Maybe Spring fell asleep on the other side.
Come on, Toad.
[Frog, Toad panting]
Spring! We are here!
[snoring continues]
Spring looks a lot like Inchworm.
That is because this is Inchworm.
[Inchworm snoring]
-[Toad grunts] -Hmm?
Good morning, Inchworm.
Pardon us for disturbing you,
but we were wondering if you happened to have seen Spring around here.
We are looking around corners for Spring.
[yawns]
[gasps] You are pointing that way.
Maybe that is where we will find Spring.
-[laughs] -Very good.
Thank you for your help, Inchworm.
We will tell Spring you say hello.
[panting]
[yawns, snores]
-[creature humming, chuckles] -[gasps] Toad, did you hear that sound?
[humming, chuckling continues]
Could it be Spring around that corner?
It could be.
This time, we should try surprising Spring when we look around the corner,
so it does not get away.
Good idea.
[humming, chuckling continues]
-Spring? -[yelps]
[yelling]
-Mouse? -Frog and Toad.
Wha-- What's the idea, sneaking up on me like that?
Sorry, Mouse.
We thought Spring was around this corner and wanted to surprise it.
Oh, that makes sense.
I wish I was Spring.
I would like to be warm and dry today instead of cold and wet.
Maybe you could join us while we look for Spring.
Once we find Spring, it will be warm and sunny again.
Ohh, I like the sound of that. Lead the way.
Up ahead!
Another corner to look around.
And there are footprints. Big ones.
Huh. Spring is big, so I imagine it would have big footprints.
Then we will follow these footprints to see if they belong to Spring.
But no sneaking up this time, okay?
Yes, Mouse. No sneaking up.
[grunts]
Spring?
-Hmm? -Whoa!
You are not Spring.
Oh, no. I am Raccoon.
Apologies, Raccoon.
But we thought these big footprints belonged to Spring.
Oh, no, I'm pretty sure those footprints belong to me.
Would you like to help us find Spring?
Yeah, we are looking for it.
We hear it is just around the corner.
Why, sure.
I could use a little warm and sunny Spring today. Lead the way!
Oh! Found it.
Spring?
No, my scarf.
I knew it was around here somewhere.
Look over there. Some lovely flowers.
[gasps] And another corner!
You know, flowers bloom when Spring is near.
[gasps] We must be close now.
-Hello? -Spring?
-Hello, Spring. -Oh, Spring?
Oh, my!
Rabbit?
Hello, everyone.
Rabbit, have you seen Spring anywhere?
[gasps] Maybe Spring is hiding in your basket.
Spring? Hello? Blah.
Well, I do have lots of flowers,
but I'm afraid I don't have Spring in my basket.
[groans]
We've been looking for Spring everywhere.
Around corners and more corners.
Maybe I could help you look too.
I'd love to find a warm and sunny Spring day with you.
Thank you, Rabbit.
My father once said, "Spring is just around the corner,"
so we will keep looking around every corner we see
until Spring is found.
-Hooray! -How wonderful!
Okay, everyone. Let's find more corners!
Corners!
Hmm? Mmm.
Hmm? [sighs]
Hmm? Mmm.
-Oh! -[gasps]
[groans]
Aw.
Sorry, everyone.
Looks like Spring was not around any of the corners we looked around.
Maybe we should try the post office again? I might have missed a corner in there.
[thunder clap]
[shivers, groans] No more searching for Spring, Frog.
I would like to go home.
Very well, Toad.
Goodbye, everyone. Thank you for helping us today.
-Take care. -Stay warm.
Goodbye.
I am so sorry, Toad.
I wanted to see you happy on this cold, gray, wet day.
Oh, no, Frog, no.
Spending the day with you did make me happy,
even though it was cold and wet.
I still can't believe we never found Spring.
We looked everywhere.
Toad, look.
One more corner.
Should we look around it?
Couldn't hurt to try.
-[gasps, chuckles] We found it! -[gasps, chuckles]
Spring was here, right around the corner all along.
-[gasping] -[chuckles]
-Ohh. Ohh. -Wow [chuckles]
[chuckling]
[slurps]
Spring is quite beautiful, Frog.
It sure is, Toad.
Hmm. I wonder when Summer will be here.
Well, my mother always said, "Summer is just around the bend."
-[chuckling] -Here we go.
-This is so exciting. -I've always wanted to see…
-…the Great Anole in concert. -We are looking good, Toad.
We are feeling good, Frog.
Thank you for suggesting a night at the theater.
I am looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the show.
Me too, Toad.
I hear the Great Anole is performing tonight. Mmm?
Ohh, I can't wait! This will be a night to remember.
-[creatures cheer, gasp] -[grunts]
[Raccoon] Uh, this might take me a minute. [strains, grunts]
[Squirrel] Oh, I love going out.
[sighs] Woe and misery. This is terrible news.
Is everything all right, Mole?
'Tis not, I'm afraid.
I've just received word that the Great Anole has a bad case
of the stage sniffles and cannot perform tonight.
And without a performer, there will be no show.
No show?
Alas, no show.
We got all dressed up for nothing. Blah.
Hmm. Wait. Mole, I have an idea.
What if Toad performs tonight?
-Toad? -Toad!
Me? Oh, no, I could never do that.
Sure you could.
You are talented in many ways, like playing the piano and violin.
I am certain you would be wonderful.
Why, yes. Yes, of course. Toad would save the show.
Oh, please say yes. I beg of you.
Hmm.
Hmm. Do you really think I could do this, Frog?
Yes, Toad.
[gulps] Do you really think I can do this?
Yes, Toad. I would love to see you perform.
Will you do it for me?
[groans] All right, I will do it for you, Frog.
Wonderful! Come with me, Toad. We will get you ready at once.
Excuse me. Pardon us.
[Mole] The show will go on.
[instrumental music plays]
[gasps]
[music continues]
-[creatures cheering] -[music ends]
Salutations and greetings, everyone.
I am afraid our scheduled performer is unable to make it tonight.
[creatures groan]
However, I am pleased to announce
a new and, dare I say, even better act.
Better than the Great Anole?
Hmph. I'd have to see it to believe it.
Making his Moledy Hole debut, please welcome…
Uh, what is your stage name? What do I call you?
Toad.
Toad? No, no, that will never do.
You need a longer, fancier name. This is theater.
-Aha! Presenting the Amazing Toad! -[drumroll]
[instrumental music]
[music ends]
[groans]
[creatures clamoring]
Yay, Toad! Hooray!
[chuckles]
[paper rustling]
[creature] Shh!
Whoops, sorry.
The Amazing Toad will now play the piano very well.
[clears throat] That's your cue.
Hmm?
[groans, exhales deeply]
[plays classical music]
-[groans] -[plays false note]
You sound great, Toad! I cannot play the piano like that!
Can you play the piano like that?
Isn't Toad great? Yay! Whoo!
[inhales deeply]
You were right. He is better than the Great Anole.
Could I sit closer to the Amazing Toad? It will help me see him better.
Of course, Mouse. Please, take my seat.
[creatures cheering]
Yay, Toad! Hooray!
[creatures cheering]
Splendid!
More, Toad! We want more!
Well, I suppose I could play a bit more. [chuckles]
[curtain closes]
[instrumental music plays]
The Amazing Toad will now play the violin!
[stammers]
[violin scratching]
[creatures gasping, clamoring]
Oh, my. That is very different.
Keep going, Toad!
I cannot play the violin like that. You can do it!
Hmph.
[smooth violin music playing]
[instrumental music plays]
[music continues]
Excuse me, Frog.
Could I sit closer to the Amazing Toad? I like being near the performer.
Oh, certainly. Take my seat.
Oh, could I sit closer too? I love watching the Amazing Toad.
Um, of course.
[grunts, strains]
[Frog groans]
Keep going, Toad! You are doing very well!
[music ends]
[creatures cheering]
Such entertainment, such talent. Toad, I had no idea.
Yes! More, Toad. Keep going!
-More! More, Toad! More! -Yes! Yes! More, Toad! More!
I think the Amazing Toad would like to do more!
Wonderful! What's next?
The Amazing Toad will now play the wooden spoons.
[wooden spoons music]
Whoa! Okay, Toad. [chuckles]
[creatures cheering]
I can do more!
The Amazing Toad will now balance spinning plates.
-[creatures gasp] -[pants, sneezes]
[creatures gasp]
[grunts]
-[creatures cheering] -[creature] Toad is amazing.
More!
[Mole] The Amazing Toad will now dance and be wonderful.
[instrumental music playing]
[music continues]
[groans] Whoa.
[Frog] Raccoon, your tail is in the way.
-Mmm. -He is wonderful!
That is wonderful, Toad! I could not dance like that.
What's that, Frog? I can barely hear you.
[Frog] Toad! Toad! Toad?
Incredible! Stupendous!
You have certainly given us a night to remember.
[creatures cheering]
I think the audience wants more of the Amazing Toad.
-[creatures] Yeah, Toad! -[groans] Frog?
[creatures cheering]
[Frog] Toad, are you all right?
Well?
I am not so sure.
You can do it, Toad. And I know the perfect grand finale.
The Amazing Toad will now…
walk across a tightrope and he will not fall down.
[drumroll]
[creatures gasp]
[groans, gulps]
[paper rustling]
-Shh! -Sorry. These are very small for my paws.
[drumroll]
[creatures gasp]
[gasps]
[gasps] Where is Frog?
Frog?
Toad, over here!
Toad, I am here! Toad! Toad!
[breathing heavily]
Toad, is something wrong?
[gasps] It's not the stage sniffles, is it?
[groans] It is worse than the stage sniffles.
I cannot find Frog.
[pole thuds]
[groaning]
[creatures murmuring]
-[Raccoon stutters] Is Toad okay? -No more show?
Can you continue, Toad?
No. I'm doing this for Frog.
I cannot go on performing without him here to see me.
Frog, where are you?
[Frog strains, grunts]
Frog?
[grunts, strains]
[gasps, grunts]
Here I am, Toad!
[creatures cheering]
[grunts] Oh, sorry about that, Toad.
I switched seats with a lot of friends tonight.
Oh, Frog, I am so glad you are still here.
Your cheering gave me confidence and I felt lost without it.
I never would have been able to do this if you hadn't believed in me.
I still do, Toad.
This was indeed a night to remember.
It made me remember how lucky I am to have a friend like you.
[creatures applaud]
[creatures] Aw.
I can't get enough!
[clears throat] Yes, very good. But what about the grand finale?
Hmm. I have an idea.
-[whispering indistinctly] -Mm-hmm.
Hit it!
[instrumental music playing]
[creatures] Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
-[creatures cheering] -[music continues]
Now that's entertainment. [gasps] Oh!
The Amazing Frog and Toad…
Are leaving!
-[creatures cheering] -[music continues]
Thank you all for coming and for the wonderful flowers.
[sniffs, inhales deeply, sneezes]
[creatures gasp]
Well, that was a tizzy.
