Hello!
My radish.
Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock Down at Fraggle Rock
Down at Fraggle Rock.
Hey, Red. I'm back from my walking meditation.
Whoops. Looks like I brought back a Gluey Rudey.
This is where you live?
Not much room for two, huh?
I was ready to leave anyway!
Have a glorious day.
It's blustery out there.
Ever since the storm the other day,
all these leftover wind gusts have been blowing around.
The wind is all anyone can talk about.
"The wind blew this around." "The wind blew that around."
-"Hi, Red." - Was that last one Pogey?
Sure was.
Hi, Red.
But none of that matters.
Today's the Twisty-Turny-Thon.
The most twisty, turny, jumpy, bumpy race in all of Fraggle Rock.
So that's why you're making room on your trophy shelf.
That's right. I know this course like the back of my baloobius.
Right there, that's the back of it.
Or is that the back of it? I--
I'm excited to race too.
Against my own artistic expectations.
Okay, you're gonna have to give me a little bit more than that.
I'm painting the race as it happens.
Creating art while I myself am in motion.
Thank you, universe, for these gifts.
Well, get ready to paint a red blur
'cause I'm gonna be moving.
Well, one upside to that windstorm, lots of cleanup to do.
Hey, I could get used to this.
Twist, turn left, jump,
turn right, double twist.
Red, you do know the race hasn't actually started yet, right?
Oh, yep.
Just going over each twist and turn in my mind so I'm ready to go.
Sweeping through.
Well, sounds like a big day for both of us.
I'm about to go get the first new artifact from my Uncle Traveling Matt,
- then I'm gonna talk with the Gorgs. - Wait.
- You're not racing? - Well, not this year.
I mean, things are confusing with the Gorgs.
We were enemies, then we were friends.
But what are we now?
I gotta go talk to Junior.
Oh, Gobo, the rules state that if you're not racing
you have to pick someone to fill in for you.
Okay, I nominate you, Boober.
- What? - Have fun, bud.
Oh, Boober.
Your love of the rules got you again.
Those gusties are so fast.
I call 'em "gusties."
I was scared of them at first, but they're actually pretty cool.
They've been blowing me around
and showing me some pretty interesting things.
Like this tickle flower.
I'm gonna tickle you back.
It's race time. You running?
I don't know. I'm doing this now, then I'll see what happens next.
- That tickles. - Oh, brother. To the starting flag.
Looking good, Red.
I gotta say, painting on the move is already feeling natural to me.
Thank you, rock, for showing me that art can be challenging.
I'm fine, don't worry about me.
There it is.
The first new artifact.
Sprockie, time to get up.
Oh, Sprock.
I know it's earlier than usual, but I have a new lab time,
so you're gonna have to adjust to a new schedule.
We both are.
Here ya go, bud.
Wow.
The first new artifact from my Uncle Matt to improve Fraggle Rock.
Wonder what it is.
Hey, there he is.
Look who's up and barking. You're excited for the day?
Okay, let's get racing.
Did somebody say, "Color commentary"?
I'm absolutely positive no one did.
Welcome to the Twisty-Turnathon,
the race that tests which Fraggle can twist, turn, and thon the best.
I'm Barry Blueberry, and I'm here to provide the color commentary.
And that color is blue.
Hi!
Actually, Barry, we'll both be doing the commentary.
Fun!
Well, if it isn't my old pal, Sherry Contrary.
Aren't you usually vacationing at Scoop Falls this time of year?
Actually, Barry, that windstorm interrupted my trip.
So, I might as well help you cover this event.
Well, isn't that just delightful?
I've actually been asked to sing the Fraggle Anthem.
Asked by whom, Sherry?
There's a rock in my heart
There's a place underground
Where love is the start
It'll be over soon.
And laughter, ha-ha, is the sound
I don't think that's a real anthem.
Sound on Fraggle
Rock
Okay, thank you, Sherry, for that.
So good.
Runners, on the Whistle Bug.
Oh, Whistle Bug.
Whistle.
And they're off.
Here we go!
Eat my dust, young Fraggles.
- The Twisty-Turnathon has begun. - Wonderful. Magnificent form.
She's a spirited one. Look at them go.
Keep running, everyone. You're doing so great.
We got an injury here.
I scraped my shoulder.
I scraped my shoulder?
Looks like I can sit this one out. Yes!
I mean, I-- My shoulder.
I just scraped it a lot.
It's okay, Boober.
You kinda fell down, but you got up.
Celebrate that, Boober! Celebrate that!
And twist. And jump. And left. And jump.
And right. And jump. And left. And jump.
And right. And jump. And slide.
- Why are you stopping? - Oh, yeah. Running.
A fellow came along And tried to knock me flat
Everybody told me "Red, you can't fight that"
But whoa-ooh-oh I knew I was good
Whop, bop, doodily-bop I showed 'em I could
A fellow started drumming With a rat-tat-tat
Fellow told me "Fraggle girl, you can't beat that"
But whoa-ho-ho I knew I was good
And oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa I showed 'em I could
You know, you gotta be someone
Gotta be strong
When you got the goods You know you can't do anything wrong
Whoo-hoo-hoo
It's Red Fraggle
Here she comes
Look out
Whoo-hoo!
A fellow came along in a big top hat
Said, "Fraggle girl You know you can't top that"
But whoa-oh, I knew I was good
And oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
I showed 'em I could
Oh-oh I knew I was good
The wind must have blown rocks onto the course.
Well, I am not changing my route, that's for sure.
Hi.
Wembley, what are you doing here?
I was dancing, and then a gustie blew me over to a slippy pond.
And then I saw this neat-looking vine,
so I clung, and I swung
and now here I am.
If you're here, and I'm here then that means--
That's right, folks. Red and Wembley are now tied.
Actually, Barry, it's called neck and neck.
Thank you so much for that, Sher.
Sorry, Red, but could you express your frustration another way?
It's very hard to see your face.
Incredible work on this turbine, Cotterpin.
I'd tip my hat to you,
but I'm afraid you'd see the ridiculous haircut I gave myself this weekend.
Thank you, sir.
But the turbine can't make any power for us without wind.
And those gusties are so unpredictable.
We tried chasing one around, but it was too quick.
I wish they'd tell you when they're coming.
Oh, yeah. That'd be great. Like, "Hey, we're coming.
Get your turbines ready."
That's actually not a bad idea.
Maybe they do have some way of telegraphing their approach.
Let's go follow one and see.
Road trip!
Mind if we stop and grab a wig on the way?
I'm really feeling like this haircut was a huge mistake.
Drink up, Junior Junior,
so you can grow up nice and tall, like your daddy, Junior Senior.
Hi, Junior.
So sorry. Here, let me--
Junior, are you okay?
Wha-- Why should I have to shush?
Junior! We need to talk.
Wha--
Junior, what's happening?
What was that?
Nothing. I was just practicing some funny voices.
What's happening?
Well, not bad.
I could probably do better.
What's happening?
Yeah, you see? You just gotta practice.
Now, I know you were disappointed
when I told you not to fraternize with the Fraggles anymore...
- What? - ...but I've been thinking.
Yeah?
Maybe it'd be helpful if I explain all the reasons we don't like Fraggles.
One, they're so small, you can barely see 'em.
- Bu-- - What are they up to?
Two, what's up with their tails?
And three-- Well, I know I had a third one.
My king,
you didn't finish your breakfast lasagna.
Oh, well, that's probably why I can't remember.
I'll come back when I'm uncomfortably full.
And stay away from those Fraggles.
Sorry.
Twist.
Jump, right.
Left.
Uh-oh! Looks like the wind has blown some ouchie cones onto the route.
Actually, Barry, they're pronounced oochie cones.
What on earth would I do without you, Sherry?
Hey, Red! Come on. Bouncy mushrooms!
They were covered by leaves, but the wind cleared them off.
Wembley, I'm not getting off the path just because of some silly wind.
This way is perfect.
Oochie!
Oochie.
- Oochie. - Okay.
- I'm gonna go this way. - Oochie.
Oochie.
Go, Wembley! Go! Go, go, go!
Wait. Didn't you quit the race 'cause you hurt your shoulder?
But now you're whipping your arm around.
Well, yeah. My doctor told me to do that. It's supposed to be good for it.
Really? Who's your doctor?
Excuse me? Please don't pester my patient.
He's trying to heal.
Yeah.
Hey, Sprockie.
How's it goi-- Bud.
I know this is normally when we play ball on the beach
until I get sunscreen in my eyes and you have to guide me home
but I have to go to work now.
It's the only shift that'll work with my schedule.
But even though I won't be here,
I can check in on my breaks.
Hello, Sprocket.
I'm not here, but I'm here.
Well, right now, I'm both here and here.
Anyway. It's pretty cool, right?
I know this is tough.
But hey, maybe something good will come out of this new schedule.
See you later, buddy.
Yes!
The finish line is just past this bridge.
I knew I wouldn't have to change my route to win.
Okay. I don't think you should go this way, Red.
Why don't we go that way?
Maybe the wind blew us a nice, cool path, huh?
Wembley, for the last time, I'm sticking to the route.
I'm not gonna just blow with the wind, like you.
- What? Red. - Here I go.
That's not what I'm doing.
Careful, Red. Just slow down.
Oh, no.
Just stop moving! I'll figure something out here.
Don't worry, Red. I promise I won't let go.
Now I'm never gonna win the race.
Thank you, Wembley, but you can let go now.
Okay. I wasn't sure 'cause I promised I wouldn't.
But I get now that I can. Okay.
So, I wanna be friends, but my pa won't let me!
What do I do?
Well, that's some tough stuff, big buddy.
Some real big buddy, tough stuff.
Hey. Whenever I'm feeling confused,
I read one of my Uncle Traveling Matt's postcards.
Your Uncle Traveling who's a whatsit?
You know what, I'll just read it.
Okay.
"Dear Nephew Gobo..."
My mission to improve Fraggle Rock brought me someplace fascinating.
A Silly Creature workplace.
These poor Sillies were so overworked,
they screamed as they rode their monorail home.
So sad.
The problem was, they kept doing their jobs the same way,
even though it wasn't working.
Luckily, I was there to show them how to adapt.
May I?
They were so impressed,
they insisted on rewarding me with something they knew I deserved...
Thank you.
...a round of applause.
Thank you so much, but I must away!
And so, to improve Fraggle Rock, I'm sending you these clappy hands.
Use them to show someone love and appreciation.
"And remember, always be ready to adapt.
Love, your Uncle Traveling Matt."
I get it.
Your uncle is that card, and it gives you advice.
Nice to meet you, Uncle Card.
Sure.
But that advice is perfect, eh?
Maybe we just have to adapt and make the best of our situation.
And as we figure it all out,
if you ever need a reminder that I appreciate our friendship,
well, just give yourself a round of applause.
Hey, thanks, Gobo.
Son,
I remembered the third thing!
I'll see you when I can, big bud.
- Bye. - Bye.
Fraggles can't...
fly.
Yeah, they can't fly.
Does that sound right to you?
Yeah, maybe it's swim. Maybe they can't swim.
Maybe I need more breakfast lasagna.
How are we gonna get out of here and back to the race?
Hey.
There's a cool sound coming from that cave over there.
Should we check it out?
Wembley, that cave is behind us, and the finish line is in front of us.
Enough with blowing in the wind.
You know, you said that earlier, and that's not what I'm doing.
I'm just trying to see things the way they are,
not the way they used to be.
I mean, things are changing.
Maybe we have to be flexible.
I am flexible!
That's kind of impressive, but not really what I meant.
I like knowing the road
'Cause if it's the same Then I can't lose
I know where it goes
The bends and the curves That I'm used to
If we open our hearts And we open our minds
The knots that we make We can start to unwind
Sometimes in life We just have to adapt
Not fear what's ahead But just follow the path
The course of life will lead you And who knows what we might find
Yeah, you have to Be open to what's new
Wherever it takes you Let the wind decide
Follow your own path And don't ever look back
'Cause the stars will find you Wind will guide you home
Well, I just think that--
I know it's hard not to second-guess
But take a deep breath And just try your best
Sometimes you gotta trust the universe
'Cause who knows what's ahead Or what's around the curve
The course of life will lead you And who knows what we'll find, yeah
Yeah, you have to Be open to what's new
Wherever it takes you Let the wind decide
Follow your own path And don't ever look back
'Cause the stars will light The path you find
The wind will guide you home
I might not know the road
But if you follow your heart Then you can't lose
We don't know where it goes
But I'll always be Right here beside you
- Wow! - Yeah!
- Beautiful. - Yeah.
I was so focused on running the same old route,
I got us stuck in a literal rut.
But your way showed us all of this.
Don't let that gustie get away.
Do you hear that?
It's like the wind is telling us it's coming.
Yes. Now we'll know where to put our turbine to get wind power.
Wow. What a team.
I love my team.
- Architect to base. - Go for base.
- I love my wig. I mean team. - Copy that.
But the wig is totally working, right?
Yeah.
- So, where to now, Wemble? - I don't know.
- That looks pretty cool. - Yeah!
It's not the usual route I take, so yeah!
Let's do it.
Wow!
- Oh, Wembley. That was amazing! - Yeah!
And now we're back on course.
- I think we can still win! - Yeah!
There you are, Red!
I'm here for the big finish!
This is the perfect angle to get your face.
Yeah!
And it looks like we have a winner, folks!
- Mokey Fraggle! - What?
- Thank you. - Mokey!
You weren't even trying to compete, but you won?
That's...
- so perfect! - So perfect!
Oh, well, I wouldn't say that I won.
Although I guess you could because I did!
Oh, yeah! Sweet mama Fraggle!
What--
I guess winning brings out a different side of me.
It's new, all right! But I like it!
Yeah!
Isn't that a sweet moment?
And I know sweet, I'm Barry Blueberry!
Great color commentary today, Barry.
I hope I didn't ruin your day by joining you.
Well, it was an adjustment.
But actually, it was nice to have company.
You're not supposed to be contrary, that's my thing.
Look at that, Sprockie, you made a friend.
And it never would have happened if we were on our usual schedule.
See? Sometimes you just have to embrace new opportunities.
You wanna say hi to me?
Hey. What are you-- Sprockie!
Well, Mokey.
It looks like we both got something to remember the Twisty-Turny-Thon.
Hey.
Wanna play this new game that Wembley and I made up?
It's called, "How Do You Play It?"
Okay. How do you play it?
Yes! You got it!
- That's it! - I did!
Okay, Boober, your turn.
You know what?
My doctor told me I'm still supposed to rest my shoulder.
- Really? - No.
- I actually told him he was good to go. - What?
Oh, come on.
Wha--
