It's Mardi Gras!
Laissez le bons temps rouler.
That's French for...
[all] "Let the good times roll!"
♪ Tu tu tu du du du du ♪
Ow! Thanks.
Sweet, Becky.
Yeah, Freckle.
[all] Little!
Ellen!
Gramsy!
♪ Tu tu tu du du du ♪
-[children reading] -[Ellen] That's me!
[Ellen reading]
-Yes! -Whatcha making, Becky?
I call 'em arm-rings.
You mean bracelets?
Nope. So different than bracelets.
Okay. We gotta go now so we can find the best spot to watch the parade.
Or you could be riding on a float.
-What? -No way!
Hold up. What are you holding up?
The Kazoo Krewe is giving away four golden tickets
to ride as parade royalty on their biggest float.
They're the most amazing crew in town!
They're floats toss out the shiniest beads.
And have the fiercest decorations.
And their Mardi Gras music is the most musical.
[inhales deeply and blows]
But to win the golden tickets,
you gotta go on a scavenger hunt.
Yes. What's a scavenger hunt?
You've got to run around and collect a bunch of things to win a prize.
It's not going to be easy.
The Kazoo Krewe is all about mischief.
Yes! What's mischief?
Pranks, tricks and surprises.
[all exclaim and giggling]
-Like that. -Exactly like that.
Gramsy, do you think the Maiden of Mischief will show up?
Rumor has it she's been spotted stirring up trouble already.
The Maiden comes on Mardi Gras and plays the best tricks.
She'll be the only one standing between us and those golden tickets.
All right, you scavengers,
I'll meet you at the start of the parade.
Good luck.
And remember, watch out for The Maiden of Mischief.
What are we scavengering for?
Three things.
A purple and green Mardi Gras mask,
a golden kazoo and the treasure from a king cake.
That's all we need to win those tickets and ride on that float.
[Freckle] There are so many shops.
But I'll bet that one has the mask we're looking for.
-[Becky] Judy's! -Welcome.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
That's French for...
[all] Let the good times roll!
Um, any chance there's a green and purple mask in here somewhere?
-With radiant ribbons-- -Fluffy feathers--
And shiny sequins.
That's very specific, but you're in luck.
I have one left like that.
I just don't know where it is.
Aw, Judles.
Help me look, and we'll find it in no time.
-There are so many. Hey, hey! -Nice choice, Freckle.
Did you know that purple is one of the three traditional colors of Mardi Gras?
Purple is for justice.
-Green is for faith. -And for fashion, obvi.
-What's the third color? -Gold. Gold is for power.
I feel so powerful.
Look! The green and purple with ribbons, feathers and sequins mask!
I knew it was here somewhere.
Why are masks such an important part of Mardi Gras, anyway?
Wearing a mask lets you be whoever you want to be.
-Like a superhero -Or a supervillain.
[chuckles]
-Who's that? -The Maiden of Mischief!
She found us!
[gasps] The mask! Look!
[all] Nooo!
That's the only one!
-Where'd it go? -It has to be in here somewhere.
Is that prank the best you got, Maiden of Mischief?
[rips]
I don't think we're gonna win the golden tickets with that mask.
Don't worry. I got this.
Becky, do you always carry around glue and swatches of fabric?
You never know when fashion inspiration will strike.
-Done. -Nice.
Yes! One item down, two more to go.
[all] Thanks, Judy.
We've got the mask. We are crushing the scavenger hunt.
What's next? I wanna win those tickets.
A golden kazoo from a street musician
who can teach us the Kazoo Krewe Parade Song.
Hold up. It can't just be any musician.
You know, it's gotta be...
[all] Funky Chunk!
Laissez les bons temps rouler, little fans.
-That's French for-- -Let the good times roll!
Funky Chunk? We gotta get a golden kazoo
from a famous New Orleans street musician.
It's so we can win four golden tickets
and ride on the Kazoo Krewe's biggest parade float.
I might just happen to be in possession of a golden kazoo.
But if this is for the tickets,
you gotta learn how to play the Kazoo Krewe's Parade Song.
Music is such a big part of Mardi Gras
and always adds a little magic.
[playing funky jazz music]
Think you can play that, Freckle?
-Yeah, I got this. [inhales] -[playing off-key]
[all] The Maiden of Mischief!
She's up to her tricks again.
-Seriously? -Play louder, Freckle.
-You got this. -All right, little man. Let's see what you got.
-[inhales] -[clangs]
Freckle? Do you always carry crash cymbals with you?
Yep. You never know when musical inspiration will strike.
[playing jazz music]
Now that was funky and fun.
Speaking of fun, we've got one more item to find.
The treasure from a king cake!
And everyone knows the treasure inside a king cake is a porcelain baby doll.
I didn't know that.
Well, now you do.
It's a New Orleans tradition.
And I know just where to find a king cake.
Right. Tallulah's!
[all] Bye, Funky Chunk.
Hi, Tallulah! Hey, Nini!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
-That's French for-- -Let the good times roll.
Tallulah? We've gotta find a king cake baby doll!
It's the last thing we need to win four golden tickets
and ride on the Kazoo Krewe's best parade float!
You're in luck, jelly rolls.
Great! Can we have one, please?
Well, it's not that easy.
All my dolls got baked into king cakes,
A baby doll in a cake?
Can this tradition get any cuter?
A baby doll gets baked into every king cake. Then you slice up the cake--
And whoever finds the baby doll in their slice gets crowned king for the day.
My favorite Mardi Gras tradition.
One word. Yum.
Uh, Tallulah? I don't see any king cakes.
-That's because she sold them all. -[all gasping]
Aw, Nini's just being mischievous.
I've got one king cake left.
Yes! We did it! We finished the scavenger hunt!
That Maiden of Mischief can't stop us now.
[door opens]
Sneaky surprise!
Did not see that coming.
There's only one king cake baby doll left,
and I'm gonna get it.
You brought your own fork?
You never know when cake inspiration will strike.
Well played, Maiden.
Let's eat.
Ugh! No baby!
This is so good!
-Ellen! -The Maiden's almost done!
-[both gulping] -Yes!
This is epic.
You gotta find the baby.
[both chomping and gulping]
[gasps] The baby!
-Ha! -[Becky and Freckle] Yay!
Your mischief is no match for me, Maiden.
-Thanks, Tallulah. -Bye, Nini.
-Later. -[doorbell dings]
Yum! Hmm.
Gotta get to the float first.
[Freckle exclaims] We're blocked.
The Maiden! She's right behind us.
Hey! Tall animal people! Can we get a ride?
-Whoo-hoo! -[chuckles]
-Yeah! -[all laughing]
Not today, Maiden.
Oh!
Happy Mardi Gras, everyone.
[Maiden grunts]
Ellen, take the mask!
And the kazoo.
-I got it. -Go, go, go!
[gasps]
Whoa! [giggles]
Whoo!
You found a purple and green Mardi Gras mask,
a golden kazoo, and the treasure from a king cake!
You won the scavenger hunt and four golden tickets to ride on our float.
-[Freckle whoops] -Thanks.
We did it!
[grunts] Nice mischief-making, Maiden!
But your mischief was no match for me and my besties.
This year, we'll be riding on the float with Gramsy.
[Maiden] Well that sounds great to me.
Surprise!
[all gasping] Gramsy!
You're the Maiden of Mischief?
But you knew how much we wanted to win the tickets.
What if we lost?
Mardi Gras is all about having fun!
A scavenger hunt is fun,
but a scavenger hunt with a little mischief is even more fun.
Win or lose, I knew you'd have the most fun
trying to overcome the biggest challenge of all: Me!
Proving that you four truly deserve to be Kazoo Krewe Royalty.
Ellen, wanna lead us off?
[jester clears throat]
-Let's go! [whoops] -[whooping] Go, Ellen!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
[all cheering]
Happy Mardi Gras!
-Whoo-hoo. -Funk-tastic.
