[laughing]
[narrator] Howdy there, kids.
You all might remember the Rabbit family from a little while ago.
Well, this here is a story about the time they moved into their brand-new home.
Why, this new place was everything they'd hoped for.
And it was their own little slice of perfect.
[grunting]
-[bones crack] -[groans]
[narrator] Funny thing was their perfect new home was situated right smack-dab
in the middle of a miniature golf course.
[gopher] Great shot, partner.
That's some fine shooting.
You're a real sharp shooter!
[narrator] Despite all the challenges their new environment presented,
the Rabbit family learned to live with all the minor inconveniences.
With the golf course closing up at the end of the day,
the Rabbit family settled in for a peaceful night's sleep.
-Good night, Veronica. -Good night, Pa.
Good night, sweetie-pie.
Good night, Ma.
-Good night, Pops. -Huh?
[snoring]
-Good night, dear. -Good night.
[gopher] Great shot, partner!
That's some fine shooting!
You're a real sharp shooter!
Great shot, partner!
That's some fine shooting!
You're a real sharp shooter!
That's some fine shooting!
-Great shot, partner! -Can you keep it down a bit?
You're a real sharp shooter!
It's just someone playing golf.
At this hour?
I'm sure he'll tire out soon enough.
[grumbling]
[pops continues snoring]
[screams]
This won't stand one bit!
What in tarnation?
Uh, excuse me, sir?
I don't believe we've met, but my name's Pa,
and this here's my family.
-We're new to the neighborhood-- -My name is Putt-Putt Pete!
And I'm the rootinest, tootinest,
sharp shootinest Putt-Putt golfer this side of the Pecos.
Yeah, that's real nice and all, Mr. Putt-Putt,
but do you mind packing it in for the night?
Me and the family would sure like to get some sleep.
[laughs]
You're the one that's bothering me!
This here's my course.
I ain't going nowheres.
[narrator] That's right, kids.
Ol' Pete here has been playing putt-putt for ages.
Why, he's been playing this game starting from when he was a wee little tyke
to when he was a grown man and up until when he was an ornery old-timer.
Why, he just kept on playing even after he was a ghost.
Pete sure was good at putt-putt.
The one thing he could never do was get a hole in one at hole number 18.
The windmill.
The very same windmill the kindly Rabbit family called their new home.
Gee, that sure is a nice story, Mr. Putt.
I've heard about enough out of you!
I'm feeling kind of lucky tonight.
I think I'm gonna sink that hole in one.
I suggest you be on your way.
[groans]
Wait a minute.
Before you go, there's one thing you can do for me.
-What's that? -Dance.
Whoa, whoa! [whimpers] Whoa!
[guffaws]
We're all tired, Pa. What are we gonna do?
I don't know. He's just not leaving.
I have an idea, Pa. I can call Bunnicula.
He gave me this here whistle and said whenever we blow it,
he'd a-come in running.
Well, I guess it's worth a try.
[blows whistle]
Hmm?
[cackles, then speaks indistinctly] How's it going?
Hey, Bunnicula!
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Bunnicula, but we're having some problems.
Beans and horse feathers!
You see, this fella, he just won't let us sleep.
We sure would hate to leave our new home.
[in indistinctly] Leave it to me.
Hey, what's your deal?
You better watch out there, little bunny rabbit.
You're blocking my shot.
[in indistinctly] Well, you have to go.
I don't plan on going nowheres until I get me a hole in one on this hole.
-What the-- -[laughing]
[grunting]
Well, that ain't right.
What in tarnation. That was about to go in!
All right, Mr. Bunny Rabbit, I'll make you a deal.
I challenge you to a game of putt-putt.
If I win, I stay.
If you win, I'll leave this course and never return.
-You got a deal. -Shake on it.
Watch and learn, little bunny.
[grunts]
-[Toddler] Yay, Bunnicula! -[Ma] Nice shot.
-[Toddler] Yay, Bunnicula! -[cheering]
Hmm.
[all cheering]
Hmm.
[grunts]
[narrator] After a long game of putt-putt, the score was tied.
Our two players found themselves at the last hole.
The windmill.
With only one hole left, the Rabbit family started to worry.
Hmm.
Aha!
Oh, this is my lucky day. I just know it. I know this is gonna go in.
[yelps] What the--
[shrieks]
-Why, that was cheating! -Mm-hm.
Why, you no-good snake tossing, arm throwing, side-winding--
-D'oh. -Huh?
[whimpering]
[all whimper]
Yee-haw!
[chuckles] I done it! I've finally done it!
Whoo! I've been trying to get that hole in one for so long!
[narrator] The pressure was now on.
Things looked mighty grim for the Rabbit family.
Bunnicula knew he had to sink that hole in one,
or else they'd have to leave for--
-Well, I'm out of here! -What?
[all] Huh?
-I'll be catching you rabbit folk later. -You're leaving?
Well, there ain't no reason for me to hang around here.
I already got my hole in one.
I always wanted to try pinball.
So long, muchachos!
Well, that worked itself out, I guess.
Uh-huh.
-Thank you, Bunnicula! -Aah...
That was so smart how you tricked him into winning knowing he'd leave
if he got a hole in one!
[gibbering] Well, it was no big deal.
[laughs] All right, family, let's go home.
[Pops] Can we go back to sleep yet?
[narrator] And so, the Rabbit family never really had any troubles again.
They lived a long time in their perfect home.
Just a-growing old and living life with many generations to follow.
Papa, is there really such thing as a vampire rabbit?
You tell me.
[blowing whistle]
[all] Huh?
-Ta-da! -[all] Bunnicula!
Hi! [laughing]
