[THEME MUSIC]
THEME SONG: Pete the cat.
He's one groovy dude.
He'll put you in a happy mood!
He's got a funky style and a cool attitude.
Pete the cat.
Yeah, he's all that He knows where it's at.
Pete the cat.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: Hardy cats and kittens, today's the big day.
Pete and his pals are going to Cat Land Adventure, Cat
City's biggest amusement park.
What makes it even better, well, it's Sally's first time
at an amusement park.
Ooh.
[GIGGLES] This is also my first time being this excited.
Sally, I assure you, Cat City amusement
park will not disappoint.
And I've got a color-coded itinerary to be sure
you have the best day ever.
SALLY: Thank you, guys.
I'm going to have the best day ever.
I can't wait to ride all the rides, my pals.
If you look ahead, I believe you
can see those rides right now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
This is the biggest parking lot I've ever seen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SALLY: Are those cotton candy egg horns?
Are those butterflies?
Is that fish stick ice cream?
Come on, kids, treats on me.
TOGETHER: Thank you, Mr. [INAUDIBLE]..
What should we do first?
What do I want to do, Pete?
Well, come on, I'll show you.
Ooh, the hall of mirrors.
Sounds cool.
But I have something else in mind.
I see the Space Cat 3611 Hexacoaster.
I have heard it goes to warp speed 11.
I recommend it completely.
Great, but I know something that goes to warp eleventy!
Is it Amphibian Al's Lazy River Float?
Because I'm an amphibian who likes to float.
Nope, not yet.
You have to see my favorite dance
review, "Just Kitten Around".
I will see it, but first, I want
to try the famous Cataclysmic Catamaran!
The fastest coaster in Cat County.
Ooh.
Forget those others.
We're riding the Cataclysmic Catamaran, baby!
Yeah!
You go on.
I'll be right here watching you and keeping this fish
stick ice cream company.
Have fun.
I can't believe we made it.
I've never waited so long for anything.
It's so worth it.
Whoa there, little one.
You must be as tall as Kooky Kitten
here to ride the Cataclysmic Catamaran.
But all my friends are tall enough.
And it's the greatest roller coaster ever, ever.
Is there anything I could do?
I'm afraid not.
I know it's no fun, but the height
restriction keeps you safe.
Maybe next year.
Next year?
Do you know how many days until next year it?
It's all the numbers I can count plus more.
I wait over there with Mr. Pete the Cat's
dad while you guys ride the greatest
roller coaster ever, ever.
Why would we want to go on the exciting thrilling one
of a kind Cataclysmic Catamaran without you?
Mais oui.
The number of rides at the park is huge.
Look at it this way--
you can still go on all the rides minus one.
Looks like the Space Cat Hexacoaster is close by.
Come on.
Ooh.
All the rides minus two?
Yea!
All the rides minus three.
If you can't reach it, you can't throw it.
Hmm.
Hey, there's a whole area of rides
that we haven't even been to yet.
Tike Town?
That's for babies.
See?
This is for babies.
But Sally, we could never go on those big rides without you.
No, I insist.
Go have the greatest time on all of the best rides.
And I'll just be by myself all alone.
(SINGING) I feel so small.
I wish I was at least this tall.
Yes, I feel so small.
I wish, I wish I was at least this tall.
When you're small, you're not supposed to have fun, I guess.
The cool things to do, small people
get to do much less of them.
I want to run, but they tell me to crawl.
Amusements parks are just not that amusing at all.
I feel so small.
I wish I was at least this tall.
Yes, I feel so small.
I wish, I wish I was at least this tall.
I hate to interrupt, Sally, but I think Callie wants you.
Callie?
Where's Callie?
(SINGING) You may be shortish, but we
wouldn't change you at all.
You bounce around our hearts like a
super happy little rubber ball.
And your heart is huge, bigger than the world plus two.
You're all the Sallies, and we wouldn't
change a thing about you.
As great as you are, the Sally we love
isn't tall so be what you are.
It's who you really are after all.
So don't you worry what others may say about you.
You're a giant judging by all the loving things you do.
(SINGING) And just remember, one advantage to being small,
you don't have so far to go when you trip and fall.
(SINGING) When you're small.
Where you're small it's so easy to hide.
When you're small.
When you're small, you can be a giant inside.
When you're small.
When you're small, you don't bump your head.
When you're small.
When you're small you don't need a big, big bed.
When you're small.
(SINGING) Forget all the stuff I said.
I'm glad to be small.
I know nothing could beat the Cataclysmic Catamaran,
but is there anything you want to do?
I can think of a few things.
Yea!
We could go back to the midway,
or we could go get some more food, or--
All righty, then.
Can I get some volunteers?
Pick her!
She loves the show.
Now, we need someone small to be the top
of our musical cat pyramid.
I know someone perfect.
Top of the world!
Everyone, give her a round of a-paws.
I think we did just about everything
we could do together.
There is one thing left to do.
You guys have to ride all the rides
you couldn't do cause of me, starting
with the Cataclysmic Catamaran!
You've been making sure that I had the best time ever.
Now I want you to have the best time ever.
Oh, muchas gracias, Sally.
Oh, merci.
It's just a small gesture.
Can I borrow you tabbiputer?
Sure.
Thanks for waiting with me, Mr. Pete the Cat's dad.
[CHEERS]
Well, cats and kittens, I think Sally finally got amused.
Because the best adventures are the ones
you have with your friends.
Hi there, cats and kittens.
As you can see, the kids aren't in their classroom today.
Or should I say their classroom is on the move.
Yep, everyone loves a field trip.
And even though our favorite blue cat was excited,
his artistic pal Emma the pug was the most excited.
Oh, Pete, today my spirit sings [VOCALIZING]..
I'm excited too.
It's our first field trip to Cat City Art Museum.
I hear they have all the arts.
Oh, oui.
And today's even more special because my favorite artist
of all time Wawa Weasel has his newest piece of art on display.
It's "The Singing Cabbage".
"The Singing Cabbage"?
What does it look like?
I do not know.
No one has seen it yet.
It is a mystery of the art world.
I've never even heard of a singing cabbage.
If Emma likes it so much, "The Singing Cabbage" must be
the greatest piece of art ever.
Huzzah!
We have arrived!
Remember, stay together, kids, and have fun.
[GASP]
That is the coolest building ever.
I mean, if you like buildings.
Ah, oui.
Even the gallery is a work of art.
I didn't know buildings could be works of art.
Anything can be art if you do it with style.
Seen any sign of "The Singing Cabbage" yet, Pete?
Keep your eyes peeled.
It could be anywhere.
Come on.
We got to find this baby.
We got to find this yesterday.
Hold on now, children.
This is Mr. Weasel.
He will show you around and happily answer any questions
you have about the art.
I have just one question.
Where is "The Singing Cabbage"?
Yeah.
We want to know.
You will all see "The Singing Cabbage".
[CHEERS]
But not yet.
[GROANS]
So many people want to see it, we have to schedule you.
Your time as a little later.
In the meantime, there is lots of art.
Ahh.
Come, Grumpy, we shall be explorers
of art on a journey ending in the shore
as "The Singing Cabbage".
OK.
NARRATOR: There was lots of art to see in the gallery.
And as the kids wandered around, certain pieces really seemed
to mean something to them.
Look at this one, Pete.
It makes me think of what it would be like if I
rode my bike through the sky.
Pete, Pete, don't you love this?
It like they take all the arts and made a giant art tree.
More art is better than no art, baby.
And I want all the arts.
NARRATOR: Yep, it means something to them because it
makes them feel things.
And it makes them want to see more.
Pete, look at this mural.
It reminds me of my homeland.
I can almost smell the Patagonian rain.
[HUMMING] This artist painted Catco perfectly.
I feel like I'm at the concert.
I never knew art could be so realistic.
(SINGING) Catco and the Nine Lives.
[VOCALIZING]
NARRATOR: And for Callie and Gus,
well, art means something to them because it makes
them remember and feel things.
Oh, Pete, I love when art can make you feel
an emotion with just color--
a dance of happy red, joyous green, surprise
orange, and laughter pink.
Oh, how I love art.
NARRATOR: This painting made Pete feel like he was surfing.
Pete thought it was amazing how powerful art can be,
how it can transport you.
Hi, Pete.
Ah, "The Big Wave" is one of my favorites, too.
But now, it's finally time to see the new exhibit,
"The Singing Cabbage".
Did someone say--
"Singing Cabbage"?
I mean, cabbage.
I did.
It's time to see it.
Now?
Now!
[CHEERS]
Hold on.
No running.
Only walking in the gallery.
It is a challenge of the will to walk
slowly when you are excited.
NARRATOR: Well, when the kids finally
saw "The Singing Cabbage", they went
from excited to shocked to confused to disappointed
to perplexed and back to confused.
To tell the truth, I think they went through every emotion
that a kid can have.
What?
It is nothing.
How can Wawa Weasel's art be nothing?
Emma, maybe it's been stolen.
[GASP]
Huge gasp!
It's not stolen.
That's "The Singing Cabbage" right there.
Where?
There is nothing there.
Art can be anything.
But this is not anything.
This is no thing.
Maybe "The Singing Cabbage" was painted in air?
I've heard of air brushes, so hmm.
Do you get it, Pete?
Wawa Weasel is my favorite artist.
And we waited all day for nothing.
I thought "The Singing Cabbage" would be [INAUDIBLE],,
but it is [INAUDIBLE].
Well, I'm sorry you didn't like my newest piece.
Your newest piece?
Mr. Weasel?
Mr. Wawa Weasel?
Yes!
That's me!
[GASP]
Bigger gasp.
I didn't recognize him.
But Emma, I'm surprised you didn't.
Mais oui, no, but it is him.
Wawa Weasel!
Wah, wah, what?
Exactly.
Why did you not say something?
I thought you knew that I am I!
Now that the shock has worn off,
Monsieur Wawa, I can tell you I'm your biggest fan,
but must confess, I do not understand
"The Singing Cabbage" at all.
Hmm, well, I have an idea.
We'll go to the craft table, and you
can show me what you think "The Singing Cabbage"
should have been.
Come with me!
NARRATOR: Pete and his pals like a challenge,
especially an artistic one.
So they worked hard on their versions
of "The Singing Cabbage".
What are you creating, Grumpy?
Well, I liked how that cloud bike painting got
my imagination going, so I thought
the singing cabbage could be tap dancing on a rainbow.
Very imaginative indeed.
Most excellent.
And you, Sally?
Well, I like how art could be made out of different kinds
of things, like all the things.
So I found an actual cabbage in the cafeteria
and made a statue of the singing cabbage out of all the good.
Very creative.
I love it!
Gustavo?
Art can remind me of home, so I painted the singing cabbage
as if it was in Patagonia.
It's like I'm there too.
Wonderful!
Callie, what works have you conjured?
I thought it was cool how art can be so real,
so I painted the singing cabbage as real as possible.
Your attention to detail is to be admired.
Well, Emma, what has my greatest fan created?
I have decided that my singing cabbage answered
the question what would the singing
cabbage paint while singing.
[VOCALIZING] (SINGING) Cabbage!
Impressive.
And finally, Pete, what have you painted?
NARRATOR: Pete wanted the singing cabbage
to feel immersive, like a song, but he
hadn't brought his guitar.
Then he remembered that art can be anything
if it means something to you.
[CLAPPING]
Bravo!
Bravo to you all!
Monsieur, it is genius in its absurdity
and profound in its obscurity.
Your art has created more art!
You see, the point of "The Singing Cabbage"
is to get everyone thinking about what art means to them.
And it's not just you.
Follow me.
(SINGING) You thought it was a trick.
You thought it was a shtick, but art can be anything.
It can be an antelope dancing on a cantaloupe,
because art can be anything.
Can it be this chocolate mousse?
You bet your caboose.
This banana peel?
Does it make your noggin feel?
The way I wave my arms?
I can see no harm, cause art can be anything.
I just can't wait to see "The Singing Cabbage".
I heard it was Wawa Weasel's best work.
Not just my best work, it is your best work.
(SINGING) Don't ask if it's realism,
let your self expressionism.
Just share your impressionism of geometric abstraction.
And it is art.
And art is open to everyone.
(SINGING) Art can be anything.
Art can be anything.
Art really can be anything.
Yes, if it means something to you,
and it doesn't hurt if it starts a good conversation.
Well, that's our story for today, kids.
Remember, get out there and enjoy it all.
