Wahh! Oof!
[announcer] Welcome to the Smalton Sheep Rodeo!
See, kids? I told you the sheep rodeo was exciting.
Even though it's sheep instead of bulls,
it's still pretty intense.
[announcer] Up next, the reigning sheep champion,
Ragin' Wool,
takes on his next victim!
And you better believe that
when this sheep is outta his cage,
he is full of rage!
But don't worry, folks, the kids all signed a waiver,
so legally, we're in the clear!
[nervous whimpering]
- Ahh! - [snorts]
- Baaaaa! - [announcer] And they're off!
[gasps] That looks awesome!
[grunts] Whoa!
Whoa!
- [growls] - Ahhhh!
[crash]
Oh, me, what a slam!
Any other lil' busters out there
- willing to take a chance with Raging Wool? - [growls]
Oh, no, not me.
[cheering]
That doesn't look so hard.
- I'd be great at this! - But, Cricket,
you've never tried sheep rodeo before.
So what? It's just a sheep!
How hard could it be?
- [crowd gasps] - [announcer] Yowch!
Becoming a mutton buster requires balance, toughness,
a deep understanding of sheep behavior,
and one heckuva iron-tough grip!
Ahh! Ma, my Splishy...
But most importantly, Cricket, it takes years of practice!
"Years of practice"?! But that could take months!
I wanna be a sheep rodeo legend today!
If only there were a way to become
a rodeo master in a few minutes.
Yeah, wouldn't it be funny if we could just 'montage'?
- A mon-what? - You know, a montage?
Like in a movie?
[both grunt 'I don't know']
Here, this is the training montage
from Roller Jam 3.
So in the beginning, he's not a good skater...
- Aaand how does this help me...? - [Remy] Keep watching!
So he starts trying all these
different training techniques...
testing his balance... strength...
And when he tries again, he's not perfect, but he's improving!
The montage keeps cutting from scene to scene
until he's perfect!
See, now he's a skating master!
[Cricket] Oh, whoa!
[Remy] And then you know the montage is over
when they high-five!
That's perfect!
Through the power of montage,
I'll be a legend in no time!
Uh, Cricket, montages are just a visual storytelling device
used to condense a long period of time into a short one.
You can only do them in movies.
How do you know? Has anyone ever tried?
Huh. I'm not really sure.
You think it would work, brother?
Only one way to find out...
Oh, yeah. By the end of this montage,
I'll be a mutton-buster legend for sure!
Remy, hit me with that awesome montage music!
♪
[grunts] Workin' on my balance!
[grunts] Montage, montage, montage, montage, montage, montage, montage...
[grunts] Time to toughen up!
Let me have it! [grunts]
Okay okay okay! [grunts]
Montage, montage, montage, montage, montage, montage...
To understand sheep behavior, I gotta think like a sheep!
[chomping]
Ah, yeah. That's good grass.
Montage, montage, montage, montage, montage, montage...
This'll help strengthen my grip!
[both strain]
Montage complete! Oh, I can already feel it...
The montage worked! I'm ready to ride Raging Wool!
This is gonna be a breeze.
You see this, folks?
You're looking at the next
Smalton Sheep Rodeo champi-
- [bleats] - Ahhhhhh!
[gasping]
Ooh! [chuckling] Whoa!
Man, I love this job.
- [both] Cricket! - [groans]
What the heck happened?
I did the montage and everything!
I mean, ya only practiced for, like, a minute.
[gasps] You're right!
I only did the first part of the montage
where I kinda struggle.
I gotta do the rest of the montage
where I get better and better!
And when we high-five at the end,
then I'll be a champion!
Take it to the max ♪
♪ You gotta be great ♪
♪ Gotta [indistinct] Take it to the max! ♪
Huh? What just--? Ahh!
Weren't we just high-fivin'?
What the--? [grunts] Dangit, Remy!
We seem to be cutting from
- one training exercise to the next. - [grunts]
Now that you mention it, this is weird!
We're not just actin' like we're in a montage,
- we're really in one! - [bleats]
Enough of this!
End the montage!
What!? The montage started all over again!
- It's... looping?! - [grunts]
It seems that every time you high-five,
instead of stopping, the montage begins anew.
All right, if we don't want the montage to loop,
we can't high-five!
I know! But our hands are attracted
to each other like magnets!
- What. Is. Happening?! - I can't control it!
Wha-- Noooo!
We're trapped in this! How do I make it stop?!
Who knows? To figure that out
you'd have to be an expert at quantum mechanics.
But mastering that discipline would take forty or fifty years.
What?! But that'll take too long!
[spits] There's gotta be a shorter way.
[gasps] I know! Let's do another montage!
I'll learn a bunch of science stuff real quick,
which will help me invent something
to end this whole montage business,
so I can get back to the sheep rodeo!
Uh, I don't know, Cricket.
Taking a shortcut is what got us stuck here.
Science montage!
Aha!
Behold! Our ticket outta here.
When I push this here button,
this montage machine'll zap us
right out of this montage. Observe.
[all groan]
Why didn't the montage thingy work?!
I don't know...
Science is about trial and error, brother.
Perhaps you need to start over.
What?! [groans]
All these numbers and words are cloggin' up my brain hole.
I can't think straight!
Aw, Cricket, you need a break.
Remy's right. If you want to fix your invention,
you need to give your brain some rest.
If only there was a way to quickly clear your mind...
Fun montage!
- Bleh! - [all laugh]
[laughter]
Now that I'm nice and relaxed,
I can fit more science stuff in my brain,
which will help me fix my invention thingy
and get us out of this montage so I can be a sheep rodeo champ!
Look out Raging Wool,
there's a new mutton-buster in town!
Hmm?
[spits] Hey, bro.
You covered me in ice cream,
and now I'm gonna cover you in bruises.
So we fightin' or what?!
Uh, "fight"?
[gasps]
How am I supposed to learn how to fight
in such a short amount of time?
Oh, would you please excuse me for a montage?
I mean, [chuckles] moment?
[grunts]
[Remy and Tilly] Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Come on! Punch him!
Ahhh!
Aw, Remy, come on!
I gotta learn to fight so I can beat that guy!
So then I can relax, which will allow me to learn more science
so I can fix the... machine?
So I can stop the montages
and become a sheep rodeo champion!
- [nervous chuckle] That's all! - Ahhh!
I don't care! If ya wanna win, you gotta fix your footwork!
♪
[grunts]
Uh, I guess this is like... footwork training?
Gyah! Why'm I in a suit?
For a... shopping montage?
Well, we do look sharp.
But how did we-- what in corn's name?
The montaging's out of control, Cricket!
Tilly's right, we-- Whoa!
Ahh! This has to be leading somewhere...
- Right? - [all grunt]
Montaging wouldn't--
Let me down--
Would it?
I don't know!
It's about to be a bumpy ride.
What the--?
Now I'm surfing?! Bird! Ahh!
Game?! Ahh!
[gasping, screams]
[screams]
Huh? At least this one isn't weird.
Whew. Ahh!
- What? Ahh! - [all grunt]
What?
[grunts] Just please! Stop the montage!
Tilly? Remy? Where... where am I?
[pants]
Gramma? Dad?
Ahh! What is that?
Ahh! More montages!
[pants] Get away!
[pants] I don't wanna montage anymore!
Ahh! What is this place?!
How do I get outta here?!
My sheep rodeo training montage.
I wanted to get better in a short amount of time!
Was that too much to ask?!
Yes, learning science in a short time also didn't work.
[grunts] And I couldn't get good at fightin' either!
[grunts] It's almost as if...
Most importantly, it takes years of practice...
B-b-but I wanna ride the sheep now! [sobs]
[gasps] All this time, I've been trying to take shortcuts
because I didn't wanna do the work.
But I see now... there are no shortcuts.
There are no shortcuts!
[Bill] Cricket?
- [Cricket groans] - Cricket? You okay, son?
Raging Wool really sent you flyin'!
Oh... it was just a dream.
A dream?! You mean a concussion?
Au contraire, Gramma!
I feel great!
And I've got a sheep to ride.
[snorts]
The only way to be a rodeo champ is to put in the work!
And now that I know that, I'm sure to win!
Ooh, he's back up! And givin' it another try!
[grunts] All right, Cricket... no shortcuts.
Wait! Cricket, this isn't covered in our insurance!
Don't worry, Dad, I won't need it!
- Wahhhh! - [crash]
[announcer] And he's out! Or is he?
Oh me, this boy is just filled with determin-
- Ahhh! - [crash]
[announcer] Out again!
Ope, and he's back!
- [snorts] - Ahhhh!
- [crash] - [announcer] Ouch!
[grunts]
[announcer] We are witnessing
a horrific display of perseverance!
It's gettin' hard to watch, folks...
But even harder to look away!
[grunts]
Again
[growls]
- Whoa-oa! - [sheep grunts]
- Ahhh! - [grunts]
Okay, Cricket, that's enough!
You're not gonna master the Raging Wool in one day!
[grunts]
Yeah, but did ya see that? Huh?
You lasted almost a full two seconds longer!
That's progress! Way to go Cricket, up top!
- Yeah! No-- wait! - [music plays]
