Howdy, cats and kittens.
It's sure nice to have a lot of good friends.
But today's story is all about what
happens when your good friend gets a new friend of their own.
OK. What do you call a platypus dressed as a cowboy?
-What? -A platy-puss-in-boots.
[LAUGHTER]
Now, it's Sally's turn. Sally?
Where is she?
Sally always sits right there and tells the joke,
what's the best way to meet a squirrel?
And then, she says--
climb a tree and act like a nut.
Act like nut.
I get it, because squirrels love nuts.
Well, I don't get it.
Tuesday is joke day.
Sally always sits and tells that joke with us, not Boo Burrow.
NARRATOR: Pete told his pals not to worry.
Sometimes it's fun to sit with other friends at lunch, and...
Pete's right.
But joke day doesn't feel like joke day
without Sally telling her squirrel joke.
[BELL RINGING]
All right, children.
It's story time.
Everyone find a reading partner.
-Emma. -Bonjour, Sally.
Would you like to come read a story with moi?
Obviously I would love to.
But I already promised Boo I'd be her reading partner.
Hi, Emma. What are you reading today?
Sally and I are reading--
SALLY AND BOO: "Silly Science, Putties, Slimes, and Goops."
Oh, Boo.
I will partner with Pete and read "The Adventures
of Artsie Tootsie."
I love Artise Tootsie books too.
Have fun.
[BELL RINGING]
Hey, Sally, are you ready for all of us
to peanut butter and jam?
Actually, Boo says it's the first
of bark collecting season.
So we're going to collect all the barks, baby.
You want to come with?
-No. -Merci.
-Not today. -We'll rehearse.
-Not today. -Oh, OK.
Well, I'll be at the next rehearsal.
And I'll find a cool piece of bark for all of you.
Wait up, Boo.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Without Sally, we are the egg with no yolk, the rainbow
without green, the show with no--
Sole.
Ah, oui.
Without Sally, we are but a shoe with no sole.
Wait. What if Sally only wants to be friends
-with Boo from now on? -[GASP]
NARRATOR: Pete wanted to calm his pals down
and tell him that it's cool that Sally's
hanging out with Boo.
Pete's right.
She's nice, and she's still pretty new to Cat City.
So she just wants a friend.
Yes, but Sally was our friend first.
-We need to win her back. -Yeah.
We can do all the things Sally likes,
and then she'll want to hang out with us again for sure.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Bonjour, Sally. I am glad to find you here.
Oh, look. Pete and I made you a sweet acorn pie.
That's my favorite.
It'll give Boo and I just the energy
we need to keep bark hunting.
Come on. Sweet acorn pie for everyone.
Bon appetite, right?
Bon appetit. Oui.
[CHEWING]
Mm.
This is really delicious. Thanks, you two.
Yeah, dig in.
It's delicious.
Ah.
What a treat.
Well, we better get back to the bark.
You want to come with us?
You can make all kinds of things with the bark.
It's fun.
Uh, no. Thank you.
You go ahead. We shall eat our pie.
No luck with the pie?
No.
Um, OK. But good news.
Goose and I have the perfect plan to win Sally back.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Look.
This oak bark looks as grumpy as Grumpy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Activate landing platform.
Ooo. Are you playing astronauts?
Actually, they're playing Space Cat 3611.
It's really fun.
Pirate president Pinky, the universe needs your help.
[LAUGHTER] You guys are awesome,
but I can't save the universe today.
I'm going to Boo's to watch a science non-fiction film,
"Moles, Voles, and Other Wonders
of the Small Mammalian World."
It should be quite a shrill.
[LAUGHTER]
Get it?
You want to watch the movie with us?
It does sound inviting, but--
No thanks. We'll keep playing, I think.
OK, bye.
It didn't work, huh?
Well, that's OK.
I have a foolproof plan that will absolutely
bring our Sally back to us.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I told you it was a good movie.
It was all the goods!
I had no idea that voles
were good at swimming and climbing trees.
That's vole-tastic!
[LAUGHTER]
Hi, Boo. Hi, Sally.
Say, Sally, I got a spare ticket to Cat
City's cool new attraction, the world's largest acorn.
You want to come?
Hey, my friends know me so well.
Boo got me that same thing.
Now you can come with us.
I wanted you guys to hang out with Boo.
Get the gang and we'll meet you there.
Oh. Um, OK.
Cool. World's biggest acorn,
get ready for the world's biggest acorn fans.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Whee!
[LAUGHTER]
Whee.
Well, that's it.
You saw how much fun they're having.
Sally only wants to be friends with Boo now.
We tried everything to win her back, but nothing worked.
She's gone over to the Boo side.
NARRATOR: Then like happens sometimes,
the most obvious idea comes to you.
And in this case, it came to Pete.
Pete realized that instead of losing Sally,
they had a chance to gain a new friend in Boo.
So you're saying instead of trying to get Sally
away from Boo this whole time--
By the warts of Prince Frogglebert,
why haven't we tried that?
Whee!
Hi.
Why are you all standing here like this?
We have to tell you something.
[GASP] That you don't want to be friends with me anymore?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Well you didn't want to hunt for bark with us,
or have pie, or go see the movie.
You even slided on the slide without us.
I guess we thought you wanted to do
those things only with Boo.
No. She's a new pal,
and we've been having a lot of fun lately.
But do I have to choose between you?
You don't. That's what we wanted to tell you.

[LAUGHTER]
Boo, do you want to come listen?
[GASP] For reals?
Yes. And besides, I have something for your band.
They're bark instruments. I made them.
[BONGO PLAYS]
They are magnificent.
I shall play them at once.
My friend and my friends are all friending together.
[SIGH] I can't have enough friends.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGH] Nothing like a little fresh air.
And today, cats and kittens, Pete and his pals
are going to get a whole lot of it
because they're climbing Cat Meowntain.
All right, Pete, we're right behind you, my boy.
It's just straight to the top.
That's the tallest mountain I've ever seen!
It's also the only mountain I've ever seen.
Let's go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Come on, Grumpy.
From the top you have the best view of Cat City.
Bobby is right.
I think we can make it, my friend.
I hear there is a nice camping spot up there.
Well, that might be fun, but we'll
have to do an awful lot of walking, and climbing,
and then more walking.
And there's a perfectly good campsite right here.
Yes, at the top, there's a book
where anyone who hikes up
can leave their paw print to show
that they made it all the way.
NARRATOR: As you can see, our friend Pete's excited.
He's wanted to put his paw print in that book
ever since he was a little kitten.
You heard him.
Just put one foot in front of the other to get started.
Oops. Looks like someone is lagging behind.
Come on, Grumpy.

[MUSIC STOPS]
We're on the right trail, but it's blocked.
Blocked?
How are we supposed to go up, then?
Aw, this is harder than I thought.
Oh well, we tried. Guess we'll just have to
head back down. [GRUNT]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Huh. Good eye, my boy.
Branches are just covering the trail.
Pete's right.
It wasn't hard when we were looking at butterflies.
Come on, guys. Let's help.
Aw, look how beautiful.
Who knew it'd be so nice on the other side?
And in honor of that, I won't say, "Are we there yet" yet.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Thanks, buddy.
And now I have to ask, "Are we there yet?"
We're about halfway there, Grumpy.
I'll feel better if I have a snack and--
[GASP]
My fly jar is empty.
That's it. Pete, I tried.
I am too weak to go on.
[SQUISHING]
[FLIES BUZZING]
Pete! [SLURPING] These are delicious.
[SLURPING] So fresh, [SLURPING] so juicy,
[SLURPING] so free range.
[SLURPING] [GULP] Let's keep going.
I've never felt the sun so hot.
Is that because we're closer to it?
Good idea, Pete.
Let's take a water break, gang.
[PANTING]
Merci.
I know the hike is about the journey
and not the destination,
but the journey, she is so long.
Quelle fromage! The dazzling colors
will inspire many future paintings.
Merci, Pete.
The more we climb, the more we find.
I think I can go a little further.
You with me, Grumpy?
Yes, because we have to be almost there, right?
[SIGH] I was wrong.
We're not almost there yet.
[PANTING] [SIGH]
I've never walked this much
in the history... of my... walks.
Grumpy, Sally, look!
It's steep, but we're getting closer,
right Pete? Pete?
We've run a guideline, just pull yourselves up.
Hallie, you're first.
Pete, I'm sorry.
I don't think I can do it.
Go without me.
I will not stop you from reaching the top, my friend.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, thank you Pete.
[CHEERING]
We all made it.
Yay!
But where's that book?
I want to put all my paws in it, baby.
And where is the best view of Cat City?
Well, my dears, the book and the view
are not here because this isn't the top.
The top is up there.
[GROAN] I'm beginning to think we'll never be there yet.
Oh, I know you're tired, but are you sure
you want to call it quits?
All right, love.
Pete is tuckered out, so why don't you all
go up to the peak with Pappy?
Okie dokey.
Shall we push on to the top, kids?
Just a little further.
Kids?
Mr. Gustavo's papi, can we have a second please?
Huddle up, guys.
So Pete is pretty tired.
What should we do?
We can stay here with him.
Well, yeah, but he wanted to go to all the tops.
-It is true. -And I think Pete's tired
because he spent the whole hike
helping and encouraging us.
This is also true.
And he really wants to put his paw in that book.
That's also, also true.
And there's all the views up there.
Yes, but what can we do?
We can do for him what he did for us--
help and encourage him.
Pete, you inspired us to keep going,
now we want to inspire you.
You must put your paw in that book.
♪ There's no mountain too high as long as we try ♪
♪ We'll all get to the top ♪
♪ So what if it's tough? ♪
♪ We're tough enough ♪
♪ And we're not going to stop ♪

♪ You showed us the sights, gotta step to new heights ♪

NARRATOR: Positivity really is contagious.
And once Pete got encouragement from his friends,
there was no Meowntain too high for him to climb.
♪ Climb, Pete, climb ♪
Go, Pete, go!
Just a few more steps, mon ami.
♪ Climb, Pete, climb ♪
Climb that mountain!
♪ Climb, Pete, climb ♪
[LAUGHTER]
[GASPING]
[LAUGHTER]
Just confirming, we are there yet?
There's the book.
After you, Pete.
Oh, we'll do it together.
Just like the hike.
One, two, three.
I can see our neighborhood down there. Remarkable.
Is that our school?
That's the tiniest school I've ever seen.
How do we even fit in there?
We have achieved what we thought was impossible.
We've learned so much about life today, no?
All right, kids. Time for a picture.
[CAMERA SHUTTER]
[AWWING]
Well, kiddos, the sun is starting to set.
It's time to set up camp,
and maybe roast some marshmallows?
[CHEERING]
Ah, this is perfect.
Totally worth the journey, no?
Totally worth the journey, yes.
Now who knows a good ghost story?
Ooo, yes. Ghost stories.
-But not scary ones. -Who wants a marshmallow?
NARRATOR: Well, looks like our mountain climbers
are settled in for the night with marshmallows
and maybe a not-so-scary story.
So till next time, cats and kittens,
remember there's no meowntain too high...
...when your friends help and encourage you along the way.
