-Get goin', go on -Get goin', go on
-Take friends along -Take friends along
-Go do it all -Go do it all
We all just gotta unplug
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Just like the way Doug unplugs
Good morning, everyone!
I've gathered you here to announce a very special surprise.
-Wow. -Is it a trip to the museum?
No. Mega City Restaurant for pancakes?
The duck pond?
Tell us the surprise. Emma's getting floppy.
All right then.
The time has come for the great reveal.
The surprise is
we're going to a play at the Mega City Theater!
-Wonderful! -I knew it!
That's why you're wearing your favorite play-watching bow tie.
I never watch a play without it.
My sensors indicate going to a play must be exciting.
But I've never heard of one before. What is a play, Emma?
Time to give it a plug, Doug.
Want to be entertained
Why not check out a play
Watch actors on stage Tell a story that is made up
A set might include A scene-setting backdrop
Each actor in costume And maybe some props
Live in front of you
Dim the lights Say yeah
You might laugh
It's okay if you cry at the play
If there's a song
You can sing along at the play
I get it. Plays are when people act out a story for an audience.
But I still have a big question.
Why do people go to plays?
Excellent question, Doug.
And you shall find out at this evening's performance.
There's nothing like a perfect Tuesday night at the theater
to bring the whole family together.
Tuesday? But, Dad, it's Wednesday.
Wednesday?
Oh, no! We missed the play!
I'm sorry, everyone. I'll make it up to you.
As soon as I take off my play-watching bow tie.
Oh, Laurence.
Poor Dad.
He loves watching plays almost as much as he loves being in them.
I guess I won't learn about plays today after all.
I know it's disappointing, but you know what Dad always says, Emma.
"No matter what happens"--
"The show must go on!"
Yeah, it must! Our show!
If Dad missed his play, we can put on a play for him instead.
-That's a great idea. -What will the play be about?
My favorite.
The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Once upon a time,
there were three billy goats who loved to eat grass.
One day, they woke up
and all the grass on their side of the river was gone.
But a grumpy troll, who lived under the bridge,
wouldn't let them cross to the grass on the other side.
So the nice billy goats invited the troll to join them on the other side,
and so he did.
The troll took a nap in the soft grass, while the goats ate and ate.
And they all lived happily ever after.
What a bot-tastic story, Emma.
So let's put on the play.
Doug, Doug, Doug. There's so much we need before we're ready to perform.
A stage, costumes, actors.
Wait a nanosecond. Maybe some of the bots at Rebots can help us out.
Thanks for coming, bots.
Doug said you needed help putting on a play, whatever that is.
So, here we are.
Perfect! And I have a surprise for you.
You're all going to be actors!
Emma, what are actors?
Actors pretend to be characters in the story.
First, we need a grumpy troll.
Who's feeling grumpy today?
Mud! Oh, no, you don't, furry creature!
Don't go dirtying up my nice, clean path.
I think we have our troll.
Great! Now we just need three goats.
With your noble strength, Mr. Forkrick,
and your cool confidence, Jenny,
you'll make great billy goats.
Or should I say botty goats?
Who will play the third goat?
Princess Woofingham!
Now are we ready to put on the play, Emma?
Not quite.
Next we need to make costumes and build a set.
Building and making?
That's what we bots are programmed for. Let's go.
No. Not quite goaty enough.
Let's get this bridge started.
Closer.
Worka, worka.
Worka, worka, worka.
Top of the bridge coming through.
Perfect! Our costumes are ready.
And now for the curtains.
There. Our stage is set.
-Now are we ready to put on the play? -Almost. We just need an audience.
Jenny, you on it?
I'm on it.
Special delivery for Emma's dad and family.
What's this? Tickets for a play?
And this one's tonight?
Come on, family. We're off to...
the backyard?
Surprise!
We're putting on a play for you, Dad.
What a wonderful surprise.
Thank you, Emma Bean and bots.
Oh, this is so thoughtful.
Hold on. Just one thing.
Now we're ready.
Places, everybotty! Get ready to start.
This play is for my dad,
and I really wanna make him happy and proud.
So give it your best,
and no matter what happens, the show must go on.
-Yay, Emma! -Yeah! Emma!
That's my girl.
Welcome, one and all,
to the Backyard Theater Company's performance
of the Three Botty Goats Gruff.
A modern spin on a classic tale.
Without further ado…
Once upon a time, there were three little botty goats.
Remember, Jenny, you're a goat.
You say your line and walk over the bridge.
I'm a goat. First I walk, then I fly.
No, Jenny, you don't fly.
Walk all the way across the bridge.
Got it.
I'm the littlest botty goat.
-And they were really hungry. -And I'm really hungry.
But it looks like
the only green grass is on the other side of this bridge.
Guess I better cross it.
But when the littlest botty goat got to the bridge,
she met a grumpy troll that didn't want her to cross.
Nice to see ya. Welcome to my bridge, botty goat.
Mop Bot, you need to act grumpy.
Grumpy? But I'm not sure what it feels like to be grumpy, Emma,
or a troll.
What if you pretended
that if Jenny gets to the other side of the bridge,
all of Rebots will never be clean again?
Never clean?
Now I'm grumpy.
No problem. Don't even need to walk, Mop Bot.
Jenny. The botty goats don't fly.
Oops!
Ready, Mr. Forkrick? You're on next.
Got it.
Then another hungry botty goat tried to cross the bridge
to get to the green grass.
Who's tryna cross my bridge this time?
-Oh! -Oh, no!
We've got bridge problems!
I've got it.
Sorry.
Emma, was this part of the story?
Where's my bridge?
Wait, Princess Woofingham!
-It's not time yet! -Oh!
And then a third botty goat came to cross the bridge.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Or to chase a squirrel?
Dirt alert, dirt alert, dirt alert.
My beautiful stage!
Everyone, we're going to take a brief intermission.
Oh, I wanted to put on a good play for my dad, but now it's a disaster.
-We're really sorry, Emma. -Yeah.
It's not your fault. I should have let you practice more.
Sorry, bots, we have to cancel the show.
Cancel? But, Emma, what about what you told us?
-No matter what happens-- -The show must go on.
Yeah. You bots are right.
Even though things aren't going the way we wanted,
the audience came for a show.
But how can we finish the play without a set?
Having bots for actors sure has its perks.
Places, everyone! The show must go on!
-You said it! -Let's do this!
Okay, now two little botty goats made it over the bridge,
but when the final goat tried to pass, the troll stopped him.
You'll never get across my bridge.
But I just wanna join my botty goats on the other side.
Would you like to join us and take a nice nap in the green grass?
Join you? No one's ever invited me to join them before.
I can't be grumpy about that.
So the little botty goat and the troll walked over the bridge together.
Bravo! Brava!
And they all lived happily ever after.
Bravissimo!
We did it! We made my dad smile.
Oh! What a cast! What a show!
Thanks, Dad. It didn't totally work out the way we planned.
But I was on the edge of my seat!
I laughed. I cried.
And you grabbed my hand when the troll showed up.
And I finally learned why you go to see a play.
Because even if it doesn't go the way you planned,
a play still makes the people watching smile.
It made us smile too.
Especially Princess Woofingham.
What's that?
-What you got there, Doug? -I'm not sure, Uncle Forkrick.
I've never seen a book like this before.
And I've never seen a human that looks like that either.
-Ask Emma? -Ask Emma.
Doug! What brings you here?
Is that a Dana Dash comic book?
Who's Dana Dash?
Only the world's fastest and greatest hero ever created
in the history of comic books.
She sounds bot-tastic! But what's a hero?
I'll plug in and find out.
From comic books to movie screens
Heroes are in so many great stories
Using superpowers to save the day
We need more heroes
Do you know a hero
Who can help us make sure Everyone's okay?
Yeah, I think we need you
So put on your hero mask and suit
We'll call you by Any name that you choose
Show how fast that you can run
Shout your catchphrase When you're done
We'll tell your story
Now we know that you'll be our hero
Wow! Heroes are amazing.
But I still have a big question.
How could we become heroes?
You came to the right human, Doug,
because I know exactly how we can become heroes.
In fact, we'll become Mega City's greatest hero team.
To the Emma Cave!
That's my bedroom.
Okay, Doug, if we're gonna be heroes, the first thing we need are hero costumes.
Hero costumes?
You'll see. Let's suit up.
We are the superest looking hero team ever!
Are we ready to be heroes now?
Almost. We just need to come up with our hero names.
Then we go save the city.
You mean like Doug?
It could be just Doug,
but what about a name that has something to do with your outfit
or what you do best?
Like Dana Dash wears super-fast shoes.
How stylishly speedy.
And that's why we call her Super-Fast Dana Dash.
Now let's see.
I'm wearing a helmet to protect me from all the daring things I do
and a tutu because I'm an excellent dancer.
So I am...
the Daring Dancer!
Now it's your turn, Doug.
Okay. I'm wearing a bow tie and I'm a robot
and I'm a robot wearing a bow tie.
So I am Bow Tie Bot?
Simple, yet effective.
I love it!
Together we are… Bow Tie Bot and the Daring Dancer!
Oh, yeah! This hero team is ready to go play outside!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Emma, why are we whooshing?
'Cause we're twirling and flying like heroes, Doug.
Wait. I forgot the most important step to being a hero.
Superpowers!
Superpowers? What are those?
They're awesome things heroes can do that regular humans can't.
Dana Dash has super speed. Check it out!
She's so fast, she can dash kids to school on time if they miss the bus.
She can even catch a speeding baby cheetah and return it to her mommy cheetah.
Incredible!
I bet she can even run faster than Princess Woofingham does
when I put food in her bowl.
That is fast.
But how are we going to figure out our superpowers?
Oh, no! My ball!
What'll I do?
How can we help you, young boy?
Young boy? I'm your age.
-I know. Hello, Gary. -Hi, Emma.
Uh-uh-uh. I'm not Emma. I am… the Daring Dancer!
Oh, sorry. Hi, Daring Dancer.
Do you know how to get my ball back?
Don't worry. I'm on it.
Here's your ball, youthful Gary.
Whoops!
Now that's how you hero.
Thanks.
I never would've gotten my ball back without you.
Who are you?
It's me, Doug.
Doug! It is you.
But today he's Bow Tie Bot. Mega City's newest hero!
Say your catchphrase, Doug.
What's a catchphrase, Emma?
I know. A catchphrase is a cool thing you say before you save the day.
Like Dana Dash says, "Dashing off to save the day."
And then she dashes off to save the day!
My catchphrase. Okay.
How about, "I'm Bow Tie Bot. Check out my turbo boosters."
Not bad.
I'm Bow Tie Bot and I have a bow tie.
A little on the nose.
I'm Bow Tie Bot and I'm dressed to save you from this mess.
Yes! That's it! That's the one!
I dance in super joy!
I'm gonna tell people that there's a new hero in Mega City.
Hey, people! There's a new hero in Mega City!
You're a real hero, Doug.
You've got superpowers and a catchphrase.
What are your superpowers, Emma?
I'm not sure, Doug.
But I know how we can figure it out.
With a superpower test.
To the backyard!
Ready to pour, Doug?
Ready. But why am I pouring dog food again?
Well, we know that Dana Dash's superpower's super speed.
I figure if I can beat Princess Woofingham to the bowl after you pour in her food,
then I have super speed too.
Pour on three.
-One, two… -Three.
Go, Daring Dancer! Go!
Looks like Princess Woofingham has super speed, but not me.
That's okay. There are other superpowers we can test for. Right?
Yeah, there are.
Let's go, Bow Tie Bot. To the front yard.
Now for the strength test.
The strength test, Daring Dancer?
Yes, the strength test, Bow Tie Bot.
I figure if I can push this full reboot bin across the sidewalk,
then I have super strength. Here goes.
Wait, I can do this.
You got this, Emma. Keep pushing.
I was sure super strength would've been my superpower,
but I can't even move this bin.
Wait. "Move."
I once read a comic book where a hero can move things with his mind.
He just focused super hard, and it moved.
Prepare for a hero mind move.
You got this, Daring Dancer.
Doug, I'm doing it. I'm moving it with the power of my mind!
What a superpower.
-Yeah! -Yeah, Emma!
Well, thank you. Just doing my job.
Thank you. Anyway, I better get this bin back to Rebots.
Love the tutu!
Oh, Doug. Doug, Doug, Doug.
I don't think we're gonna find my superpower.
Guess I'm no hero.
We can't give up now. Bow Tie Bot needs the Daring Dancer by his side.
We're Mega City's greatest hero team. Remember?
Sorry, Bow Tie Bot. You'll have to save Mega City without me.
Daring Dancer, wait!
I got ya, Dad.
Emma Bean, you're my hero.
Wait, I'm your hero?
You most certainly are.
Dinner would've been ruined, and then you twirled in out of nowhere!
Our spaghetti sauce is saved!
Emma! I finally learned how we can become heroes.
We can help someone in need.
You helped your dad by saving the groceries,
and I helped your neighbor by rescuing his ball.
So helping is our superpower.
That means we're both heroes.
I think it's time to say your catchphrase.
I'm the Daring Dancer, saving the day one twirl at a time.
Good one, Emma!
Daring Dancer, Mega City needs a hero like you.
Don't forget Bow Tie Bot.
He's the hero for helping me try to find my superpowers,
even when I almost gave up.
I learn from the best.
So what should we do next, Daring Dancer?
We need to find someone who needs our help.
I've got a super idea!
Oh, how am I ever going to put all these groceries away before dinner?
Does somebody need some help?
Bow Tie Bot and the Daring Dancer are here to save the day.
Incredible!
What a heroic putting away of the groceries.
A million thanks, heroes.
No need to thank us. We're just doing what heroes do.
And if you ever need help--
Just call for Bow Tie Bot and the Daring Dancer!
Whoosh!
We need you
So put on your hero mask and suit
We'll call you by any name That you choose
Show how fast that you can run
Shout your catchphrase When you're done
We'll tell your story
Now we know that you'll be our hero
That you'll be our hero
