Narrator: Now, that place could be the bears' perfect home --
and by "perfect," I mean "not perfect at all,
but actually scary and stinky."
Yeah, nope. This house scares me.
Let's try it again, box.
Panda, come on. This could be the one.
Don't you just love this authentic Gothic architecture?
Aah!
Now we have to go inside.
I hope our box doesn't get pneumonia.
Bit wet and miserable out here!
Wow. Automatic doors, just like the supermarket.
[ Yells ]
Grizzly: This looks like something you'd see
in one of those boring movies adults watch.
Woman: Why, thank you.
Greetings.
I'm Mrs. Gray.
I'm Grizz.
My name's Panda.
Ice B.
And I'm a ghost.
[ All screaming ]
Relax.
I'm a friendly ghost.
[ All laugh ]
We are friendly spirits here at Spectral Manor.
"We"?
I'm Colonel Pink.
And this stunning Siamese is Mr. Meow-meow.
Meow.
And I'm Miss Teal --
yes, that Miss Teal, the one who graced
the cover of twenty fashion mags in 1959.
No way!
Living, breathing ghosts!
I got to get a selfie.
Huh? Okay.
so, there's really no way anyone is going to believe this.
Sure hope you don't mind us
barging in on you like this, ma'am.
Tis quite the contrary.
We love unexpected guests.
Once a ghost haunts a residence, they must remain for eternity.
Dashiell! We have guests.
Yes, ma'am.
Good evening.
Tonight's assortment features --
Free food!
These are tasty, but a bit flavorless.
Got any salt?
I'm afraid we've just run out, sir.
Well, order some more --
and anything else our guests might like.
I think we finally found our forever home.
Box, you did it!
What is that?
Um, it's a bit of a weird story, but okay.
So, basically, we had this box.
Then, a shooting star fell on it.
Then, box magically became a sentient talking vessel
that teleports to anywhere Ice Bear and brothers want.
[ All gasp ]
You say it can teleport anywhere?
- Might I give it a whirl? - Knock yourself out.
Bonjour, Paris!
Oh, fiddlesticks.
I'm pretty sure it only works if you're alive -- no offense.
Why, we could get it appraised.
It could be worth millions.
Money isn't everything. Fashion is.
And it would make a fabulous hat.
It's perfect for my ASMR video.
Let's hear this baby sing.
Sorry, guys, but this box is all we have.
And we owe it a whole lot.
We couldn't do it without our box.
Ice Bear loves Box like a fourth brother.
That's right. In fact, losing the box would be
just about the worst thing that could ever happen to --
[ Thunder crashes ]
The box is gone!
It's probably just misplaced.
Where did we last see it?
Literally right here, two seconds ago!
Don't you see, Panda -- my sweet, innocent Panda!
Our box has been stolen!
[ Clock strikes ]
Grizzly: Everyone here has a motive.
Just moments ago, you were all gushing over the box.
And since no one can leave, it has to be someone here.
If we ever want to see our box again,
we'll have to solve this case ourselves.
All: Yeah!
Grizzly: Let's interrogate my main suspect.
I've seen enough movies to know...
the butler always did it!
Grizz, that's jobism.
That is a hurtful stereotype.
And I'm not the butler.
I'm the first footman.
Aha. Mm.
Well, I'm stumped.
Being a detective is hard!
[ Whistling ]
Ice Bear found a clue at the scene of the crime.
What is this?
- VHS. - Oh.
"Possession is 9 Tents of the Law."
I guess the culprit likes movies?
That means...
we'll search this house from head to toe
until we find our box.
How many rooms you got in this pile of bricks, anyway?
125.
Yeesh. That could take us a while.
Gentlemen, it will be faster
if you um split up to search the rooms.
Hey, good idea.
I'll go that-a-way, and you two go this-a-way.
And stick together.
You know how Panda can't handle being alone.
When I'm alone, there's nowhere to hide from me.
This house would be an epic place to play hide-and-seek.
Ice Bear hopes he's not related
to whomever this rug is made out of.
Yeeeeek!
[ Yells ]
I found a secret safe.
Well, I don't see our box anywhere.
But there is a lot of...
salt?
Why on Earth would someone lock away all their salt?
Ice Bear assumes a combination
of high blood pressure and low will power.
I'm gonna look it up.
Wow. Very specific search results.
Hmmm...but I thought the mansion was out of salt?
Suspicious.
Detective Grizz on the case!
I'll find that box in no time!
[ Gasps ] A clue!
It's one of those VHS.
"My New Host and Me."
There's more.
"If You Don't Pay Your exorcist, Do You Get Repossessed?"
"How to Possess Dumb Dumbs 101."
They're all about being possessed.
Maybe try a rom-com once in a while, dude.
If my detective skills are correct,
these tapes should lead to...
the culprit!
Aw, it's just an empty book case.
Except for this one book.
"Karate."
Maybe punching the suspects could help.
What in the world?
A secret bookcase! I knew it!
Hmm. "The squishier the better."
Hey, I'm pretty squishy!
"Feed them first"?
I was fed!
"Get them alone"?
But I'm alone.
And it's because the person who suggested we split up was...
the butler.
[ Slow clapping ]
Stellar sleuthing, gumshoe.
I don't know what any of those words mean, but ha!
I knew it was you all along!
- No, you didn't. - Yeah, he's right.
I've got your box.
Now, I'll possess your body,
and leave this cursed mansion forever!
[ Yells ]
Butler: Finally!
Aah! It burns!
Salt wards off evil spirits.
We read it on the Internet.
Internet never lies.
Grizz is possessed! We have to exorcise him!
Grizz hates exercise.
Get back here, Butler.
You can't hide from us.
Hey, where'd he go?
How do you get a butler out of hiding?
Ice Bear knows.
Oopsies. Ice Bear made a mess.
Ooh. I get it.
Who will clean this mess?
A mess? Where?
There he is.
Salt him, bro.
Consider your plan busted --
dust busted.
He is very good at cleaning.
That was all the salt! What do we do!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Heavens to Betsy!
Un-possess that child at once.
Meow!
[ Gasps ] Language, Mr. Meow-Meow.
I'm so sick of every one of you!
"Butler, change the litter!"
"Butler, dust my hats!"
"Butler, help me dig for quarters in the couch."
The only way for me to escape
was to possess this bear, and leave in his box.
Grizz is gone for good!
What are we gonna do!
Ice Bear thought of something.
What is it? Accept Grizz's fate?
Ice Bear thinks Grizz is still in there.
You're right!
Maybe we can still reach him.
Oh, Magic Box, grant me safe and pleasant travels
among the stars.
- Grizz! - Grizz!
I want to travel to -
[ Echoing ] Grizz!
Oh. Yeah. I'm Grizz.
I don't belong here.
Bros, I'm coming!
Travel to --
I'm back in my bod!
OMG, Grizz! Are you okay?
Yeah. I think I am.
No, you don't, fuzzball!
No way. This is my body, Bub!
Nuh-unh!
The vacuum.
It's got all the salt in it.
Both: Grizz, throw us the vacuum!
Almost!
What are you going to do with that?
I'm gonna do...
this.
No!
Grab it! Grab it! Grab it!
Both: Salt time!
Crud! I'm out of here!
Oh, no, you don't!
Hit me!
I..can't hold...him...
I just wanted to play soft sounds into microphones.
Grizz!
Ugh, my head bone.
Oh, you poor thing.
We are terribly sorry about our butler.
I didn't realize we were pushing our footman
to the brink of poltergeist.
So unfashionable.
We do hope you're alright.
Meow.
Uh, a little salty, but okay.
Box says "Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
but I prefer when you don't wander."
All: Aww!
We missed you, too, box.
Ice Bear loves you.
You're my best friend.
Narrator: And so, our heroes continue their journey.
And I'm really glad about that, too.
I mean, if they stopped, I'd be out of a job.
Well, see you next time.
