[MUSIC PLAYING]
Howdy, cats and kittens.
It's your old pal, Neville.
It's been raining real heavy in Cat City.
And while our pal Pete is staying dry in his classroom,
he's going to find out that not all rooms are so lucky.
-[BELL RINGING] -To the music room.
My favorite class.
[GRUNTS]
What?
It is raining inside the music room?
Oh, no.
A flood?
This is not good.
Oh, the carpet is underwater.
The sheet music note have run.
Well, at least I am dry again, but nothing else is.
This is terrible!
Are the instruments ruined?
Oh, it's OK, Pete.
Maybe some of the brass instruments will be OK.
[TUBA BELLOWS]
Gr!
Sorry.
Oh, dear. I'm sorry, kids.
Come on, we have to get out of here.
Music class will have to be canceled.
For how long?
Well, we'll need new instruments and sheet music.
Until we raised enough money for that,
we won't be able to have class.
CHILDREN: No!
Sally, it is not raining anymore.
I'm not taking any more chances.
OK. So, to uncancel our music class--
Some-one must do some-thing to raise enough money,
and those someones should be--
[GASPS] Us?
Is it us? It's us, isn't it?
Yes. We must organize, raise some money,
and uncancel music class.
Uncancel that, baby! Woo-woo, way.
What are we going to do?
Maybe we could raise money by organizing a bake sale.
Let's do this thing.
ALL: uncancel music class!
NARRATOR: So Pete and his pals split up
to save the music room.
Emma and Sally went with Gustavo to make pupusas.
Dennis and Boo went to make his grandma's sweet potato
and spinach cookies.
And Callie and Grumpy went to Pete's
to make, well, something.
All right, we've got to make a great treat.
Any ideas?
What about fly bread?
You've had fly bread, right?
You know, fly bread might not be the best choice.
Yeah, maybe not a big crowd pleaser.
It's got to be original and something
we can make all by ourselves with ingredients we have.
I found marshmallow cream, and Pete has that cantaloupe,
and whatever this thing is.
That's a gelatin mold for making Jell-Os and jellies.
But what can we make with all that?
Thinking caps.
Ooh!
Wow. Great idea, Pete.
We can make a marsh-melon jelly.
Everyone loves those.
OK, let's make this thing.
Wait. How do we make this thing?
Make it?
I'm not even sure I can say it.
Hey, why don't we ask Pete's dad to make it for us?
He's made orange and pickle pudding
and peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches.
He can make us one of those martian jelly jugs in no time.
Hold on.
Pete the Cat's dad is an excellent and creative cook,
but it's our music room, and we want to save it ourselves.
But having someone do something for you
is sooo much easier,
especially with... mush-melon jambalaya. Hm?
Uh, mason mellow juju juggle?
Mash master jamboree?
That was close, right?
Pete's right. We'll figure out
how to make marsh-melon jelly ourselves.
Marsh-jell-and-mellowy, here we come!
Hello, kids. Ooh. My goodness.
Whatever are you up to?
We're uncanceling music class.
With marshmallow cream and, is that cement?
We're trying to make a marsh-melon jelly
for a bake sale to save music class.
Ah, I see.
Would you like a little help?
Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
Thanks, Mr. Pete the Cat's dad,
but we really want to do it ourselves.
[SIGHING]
You know, asking someone to help you
is not the same as asking them to do it for you.
I can show you how to make a treat,
and you can still do it all yourselves.
Really? I never really thought of it like that before.
Come on. I'll show you how to make something
we chefs call delicioso.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
ALL: Ah.
[BEEPS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Dance party? Fun.
So, uh, why are we dancing?
Well, [INHALES]
the music room got flooded from the storm, which canceled music class
until we can buy new instruments, and music, and carpets,
and we don't want music class to be canceled,
so we're having a bake sale, which is why we just made
marsh-melon jelly by ourselves with help from Mr. Pete the Cat's dad
to bring to the bake sale, and uncancel music class.
[INHALES]
Well, I'd love to come to the bake sale.
When is it? I haven't heard anything about it until now.
Mrs. Pete the Cat's mom is right.
We were so busy baking,
we forgot to advertise the bake sale.
[GASPS] Hang on.
Mrs. Pete the Cat's mom, you write advertising jingles,
-don't you? -Yes, I do.
Would you write one for us?
Of course.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mrs. Pete the Cat's mom
cannot write a jingle for us.
Haven't we learned anything?
We can ask Mrs. Pete the Cat's mom for help writing a jingle,
but we have to do it ourselves. So...
CHILDREN: Would you help us write a jingle?
-Please? -Of course.
The trick is to make something that's catchy but also has
all the important information.
That's cool.
[PIANO MUSIC]
Whoa.
It's so jiggly.
And beautiful.
I can't believe we made it!
Thanks, Mr. Pete the Cat's dad.
We have so much to sing about.

With the money you made, we'll be able to fix

Class will be uncanceled.
[GASPING] - Yeah!
-We did it! -Oh, I love class.
Thank you so much.
I am so impressed
that you did all this to save the music room
all by yourselves.
Well, we did it all by ourselves
with a little help from my parents.
What are we waiting for?
We're not done yet.
Let's get to work.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]

So Pete and his pals, along with anyone who made a treat
or bought one, got music class uncanceled,
and that's about as sweet as this slice
of jiggly wiggly marsh-melon jelly.
[LAUGHS] Till next time, cats and kittens,
keep your musical instruments dry,
and stay groovy.
What? Uh-oh.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What's cooking, cats and kittens?
Mmm. Smells like pancakes to me.
Well, that might be because Pete and his pals
are making a pancake breakfast for Parents Day.
Pete, I love your musical note pancakes.
Wow, Grumpy.
You must adore the syrup.
Not really, but flies love syrup,
and my parents love flies.
[GULPS] I take after my parents.
Emma, those are the most creative pancakes ever!
My love for my mama is boundless, just
like time and this pancake.
Everyone was having fun making pancakes for the parents,
except Gustavo.
Oh, uh, thanks for asking, Pete.
My mama was supposed to be here for the pancake breakfast,
but she's stationed far away, and the storm has
prevented her from coming home.
Pete was sad to hear that,
but he knew there must be another way for Gustavo
to send love to his mama.
I know. Let's send her an acorn pancake in the mail.
That's a great idea, but wouldn't the pancake
-be cold when it arrived? -True.
[SIGHS] I don't know what I could do that would
replace the magic of the pancake.
NARRATOR: Seeing Gustavo this bummed was a rare sight
for Pete and his pals.
Gustavo, hold onto your cap, because I got a great idea.
Let's make your mama a video.
That's a great idea, Grumpy.
She would love a video.
Oh, can I direct?
I've always wanted to direct, ever since we decided
to make a video for your mom just now.
Of course. Can you guys help me?
Of course we can.
Anything for you, dear goose.
I am so lucky to have such amazing friends,
but do we make it now?
Everybody is eating pancakes,
so we can make the video while they're eating,
and show it to everyone after.
But what kind of video?
[GUITAR MUSIC]
A music video.
A great idea, Pete.
Do you have a song you'd like to sing for your mom?
Well, I have been thinking about writing a song
for Mama, about how she is a pilot,
and she does so much to protect us.
And my love for her soars higher than the jets she flies.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
[SNIFFS] That'll work.
We'll make a video about like, outer space.
Great! I'll borrow costumes from the school theater.
Sally and I shall make the backdrop.
And Pete's on the music.
It's time to get cooking.
On the video, not the pancakes.
You get it. Come on.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
[LAUGHTER]
Here is what I wrote.
"You are the pilot of my life, Mama.
"And I am the co-pilot,
and Bobby is the... first officer?"
GRUMPY: Hm? Mm-hmm.
This is not what I want to say.
We could zoom in on Gus at the beginning of the song.
Perfect. Let's do this thing!
And action.
Cut!
Beautiful backdrop, Emma.
Sally, those planets look super planety.
Gustavo?
I'm a little worried, Grumpy.
I am not really movie star material.
Yeah, you'll be fine, babe.
Everyone knows what to do.
-Oui! -Yes!
Uh, I am not sure.
GRUMPY: And Action!
Action, buddy.
Oh, yes.
I will.
GRUMPY: Uh, Gus?
What are you doing, buddy?
I am taking action.
GRUMPY: No, I meant sing the song.
Of course. Right.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
OK. I can do this.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
Oh, oh. Sorry.
GRUMPY: Keep going.
I know this is going badly, but--
[SPEAKS FRENCH]
Oh, sorry.
GRUMPY: Cut!
This is no one's fault. You tried very hard,
and I do feel better.
Ah, Pete.
I really wanted to capture how I feel about my mama.
I just admire her so much for all she does.
My mama is my hero.
Sally, Emma, dance behind Pete and Goose.
Callie, keep rolling.
She flies up in the sky almost as high as Doug Billingsley.
NARRATOR: Mm, mm. Those pancakes sure look good.
And you know what goes great with pancakes?
A heart full of love for your parents.
And of course, some syrup.
Gus, these pancakes are delicious.
I'm sorry your mama couldn't make it.
She would have loved it.
Hey, are you feeling OK, champ?
I am, Papi.
I was really down about Mama not being here,
and then I tried to make a surprise video for Mama,
but it did not turn out well.
Your mama knows how much you love her,
and you know she'd be here if she could.
I know. And truly,
just thinking about her while we made it
made me feel better.
Everyone, if I can get your attention?
I want to introduce you to my little film
I directed for Gustavo.
Uh, are we showing it?
It was a challenge making Gustavo's vision
-come to life, but-- -[CLEARS THROAT]
Without further ado, this is for Gustavo's mama
who couldn't be here today, because she's serving overseas.

And I just wish she was here so I could tell her that...
I am proud to be her son.
-ALL: Aw. -[APPLAUSE]
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Please. It was nothing.
I'm only the director who's in charge...
of everything.
That was amazing!
Your mama will love it.
That... was good.
I-- I don't know what happened.
Grumpy, how did you do it?
We all did it together.
Do you think your mama will like it?
I am very excited for her to see it.
Liked it? I loved it, Gusty.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Mama!
Mama, how can you be here?
You were all the way around the world.
The storm cleared, and I was able to make it after all.
I didn't even know you were coming.
I wanted to surprise my two favorite guys,
but what a lovely surprise for me.
Mama, these are my friends.
Ah, I've heard wonderful things about all of you.
It's so nice to finally meet you.
[SNIFFS] He's so proud of you!
[SOBS]
Well, I am very proud to be Gustavo's mama.
NARRATOR: Well, kids, I think things turned out pretty nice,
don't you? And remember...
It always feels good to think about someone you love.
