(ENGINE REVVING)
I was just sittin' up
ahead in my tree
In my tree, in my tree
I saw a beautiful face
was lookin' up at me
Up at me, up at me
Oh, she had a cute
smile so I asked her name
Asked her name,
asked her name
When we got to talkin'
said she felt the same
She felt the same,
she felt the same
Every time I see her
I do my thing
(MUMBLING)
Now she's right beside me
it's where she wants to be
Where she wants to be,
it's where she wants to be
She's cookin' us a
chicken with a jug of tea
A jug of tea, a jug of tea
I'm thankful for the day
she knocked onto my door
Thankful for the day
she knocked onto my door
And I never thought I'd
fall for the girl next door
And I never thought I'd
fall for the girl next door
Every time I see her
I do my thing.
Every time I see her
I do my thing
Every time I see her
I do my thing
(MUMBLING)
(LAUGHTER)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(CHIMES TINKLING)
Over there!
Hey there, Cosmo.
She dances nice.
I wanna be a dancer too.
Hmm?
JOE: I'll start with ballet.
(COSMO LAUGHING)
That's hilarious.
I could never see that,
a dancer?
(LAUGHS)
This is not funny, Cosmo.
I'm going to be the best
dancer in the marsh, okay?
La da da da dah,
duddle de dah
Da dah, ah ah
This is tiring.
Oh come on, let's go, Joe.
Forget about dancing,
let's go eat.
You know you must be hungry.
- No!
- Huh?
I said I wanted to dance
and I will not be distracted.
Hey Joe!
La la la
La la la
La la la la-la la
(GIGGLES)
JOE: Flutterbye!
Huh?
Hey Flutterbye!
Oh, Joe Croaker.
- Flutterbye.
- Eh?
I'm begging you!
Will you teach me to
dance please?
- Um, well...
- Please, please,
please, please!
You're the most amazing
dancer I've ever seen.
Please!
Please Flutterbye!
Please teach me!
All right, I'll teach you.
Really?
(CHEERING)
One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four.
Okay, now it's your turn.
Give it a try.
(LAUGHS) Okey-dokey!
One, two, three, four.
Oh, not bad.
One, two, three, four.
One.
(WOOD SNAPS)
(SCREAMING)
(CRASHING)
(FLUTTERBYE SIGHING)
(JOE GROANING)
Let's try that again.
This a balance exercise.
One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Ow!
(JOE SCREAMING)
Da da-da, da da-da, da

(FLUTTERBYE GIGGLING)
Now jump, Joe Croaker!
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
Huh?
Da da blah blah.
(SIGHS)
Flutterbye, how am I
doing, am I doing well?
Uh, I guess.
Kind of.
Oh boy!
(LAUGHS)
I'll soon be a great dancer!
I'll put on a performance,
and everybody can see me!
Hey Joe, wait!
(SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Num num num.
(BURPING)
Cosmo!
Hey Joe, it's you.
I thought you were
practicing with Flutterbye.
Yeah, my practicing's
paying off.
I'm officially a dancer.
Really?
So quickly?
That's right.
I'm a...
Ballet frog.
So graceful, I am.
(LAUGHS)
Okay now, you need to
inform everyone that I,
Joe Croaker, is having
a recital this evening.
Woo, oh yeah!
Maybe he's more talented than
I thought.
Hey, I better go tell everyone.
Citizens of the marsh,
Joe Croaker's gonna dance
for us all!
You don't wanna miss it!
Oh?
Oh, seriously.
COSMO: Come one, come all!
Oh, Joe's dancing?
Let me see.
Hey, what's that?
Joe Croaker?
A recital?
Good news for dance lovers,
Joe Croaker's gonna
be on stage tonight.
Duh duh de duh
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
On this special night,
we're about
to see the most talented
dancer in the marsh perform.
Peanuts, get your peanuts!
And now I give you Joe
Croaker, dance-a-holic.
(DRUM MUSIC)
- Oh cool.
- Oh cool.
- Oh!
- Oh!
(CLASSICAL MUSIC)
Yeah!
- Hot peanuts!
- Wow!
Oh wow!
(CHEERING)
Hey!
Huh?
(CHEERS)
(SIGHS)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh.
Oh, da, da.
Hey!
(GASPS)
(LAUGHING)
(PAINFUL GRUNT)
(CROWD LAUGHING)
(GASPS)
Joe Croaker, I can't watch.
Everyone is laughing at you.
Come on.
(FLUTTERBYE SCREAMS)
What kind of dance is this?
Huh?
Oh, peanuts!
Hey, get away from me!
No, get out of here!
(GROANING)
(LAUGHING)
Hey,
that was all just for you.
(SCREAMS)
You love me.
Horrible.
Because I'm Joe Croaker!
Frog of the marsh, I'm
frog of the marsh, yeah.
Frog of the marsh, frog of
the marsh, frog of the marsh.
- Frog of the marsh.
- I can't stand it!
JOE: Frog of the
marsh, frog of the marsh.
Wait for me, I'm coming!
Huh?
(SINGSONG) I'm singing just
for you!
I wonder what's wrong with him.
Huh?
(GRUNTS)
Hey, I know what you want.
- A froggy encore, yeah.
- Put me down!
(SIGHS)
(JOE SINGING OFF-KEY)
This is a disaster!
Joe Croaker!
Flutterbye.
My show was a success.
Huh?
JOE: Now it's your turn,
Cosmo.
No peeking.
One, two, three, four, five.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Here I come, Joe!
Hey Joe, nowhere to hide!
No, not here.
Oh Joe, where are you?
(CHUCKLING)
Stupid Cosmo, I'm the master
of camouflage around here.
- He should know that.
- There you are!
Whoa!
(LAUGHS) Found you.
Must be a record.
(SIGHS)
That was just luck.
Ha, you really think so?
Cheater!
I did not cheat.
All it was was a
quick harmless peek.
Say what?
You get back here!
Take it easy, Joe!
I hates cheats!
Huh?
Oh!
(GROANS)
Huh?
What's this?
Is this tasty?
Tasty?
I am kinda famished.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My stomach's grumbling.
Buzz off.
(GROANING)
Don't even think about
touching my yummies.
It's all mine now.
Huh?
(LAUGHS) Oh Joe, you're
an absolute knucklehead.
It's a walnut.
You need to crack it
open and eat the seed.
Huh?
Why didn't you tell me?
Ow, my teeth, and no dental.
Its shell is too hard.
I'm not giving up.
I'll use my kung-fu on
this thing.
Hi-ya!
Huh?
Did you do it, did you do it?
(GROANING)
That really hurt.
It doesn't seem to be working.
Huh?
Hammer punch!
Huh?
Ahh!
Joe!
Ha!
I'll teach you who's a fool!
It ain't me!
(GRUNTING)
(ANNOYED SCREAM)
There.
Ah!
(GROANING)
See?
Didn't I tell you?
It's just too hard.
Not even a dent.
Well save the lectures, Cosmo,
until you come up with
something useful.
The hardest part is having this
yummy thing and not being able
to eat it.
I'm so hungry.
Hungry.
Let me think.
Huh?
Hey Joe, I just came up with
the most brilliant idea ever!
Come on Joe,
you're almost there!
I once broke open a hard piece
of cheese by dropping it.
And bang,
it just cracked opened.
Come on, give it a shot.
Right.
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
Oof!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(LAUGHS) So you want to crack
this nut.
You know, maybe this will work.
Come on, tell us!
All we have to do is
drop something from high
above on top of it, we'll
let gravity do the work.
(LAUGHTER)
That's so right!
So ingenious!
That's right.
But we need something big.
Well we could always use my
dung ball.
(LAUGHTER)
- No thanks, no thanks.
- No thanks, no thanks.
Huh, well hey, how
about that one over there?
Hey, to the right, yeah!
To the left!
Go up higher!
Now to your right,
now to your left!
Right there, no keep going!
Oh my.
Come on, keep going higher!
Higher!
Don't drop it!
I can't hold on!
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
Oh!
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
Joe, are you all right?
Are you all right there, Joe?
You fools!
That nearly hit me!
What are you doing?
Sorry.
Try again now, okay?
(GRUNTING)
A little more.
Okay, hold it.
That's good.
Hey, now, let her go!
(LOUD CRASH)
Now that's failure.
So what now?
- Hmmm.
- Hmmm.
Maybe we could just push this
weight over the cliff
and smash it.
Hey, right!
Come on, yup, yup, come on,
come on.
All right, good.
That's far down.
Okay, now let's get started.
Right.
Come on, push now!
All right, round two, come on,
come on.
You're almost there you guys,
fly her!
JOE: We won't stop
until it's cracked!
Come on, come on.
This is definitely the time.
All right, do it!
This time it has to work.
(GROANING)
Where is it?
Huh?
Where is it?
Hey, I'll go check over there.
Right.
I'll go this way then.
Right.
Wait 'till I get you.
Oooo, It's candy!
And I'm gonna keep it
all to myself.
(SLURPS)
Hey!
(CHUCKLES)
There you are, you bad boy.
(GRUNTS)
I'll teach you to mess with me!
Huh?
(SCREAMS)
Whoo!
(HEAVY BREATHING)
- I just can't wait!
- I just can't wait!
It's just beautiful!
All right!
(BURPS)
(GROANING)
(SINGSONG) It's so good
to be the king of the pond!
It's my pond, I'm the
king, king of the, huh?
What's he still doing here?
And I really wonder
what he's up to.
He's just been
lying there for days.
Up to no good.
Maybe he's planning on
taking over.
Yeah right,
he wouldn't dare do that.
(SCAT SINGING)
Huh?
Hey there Joe!
How are you?
(SCREAMING)
Big guy, are you all right?
It's you, Cosmo.
Of course it is.
And what is this?
The brave Joe Croaker is scared?
No way.
But seriously Cosmo, check
out that guy over there.
Oh, so that's who
was bothering you, Joe.
I thought you had more
guts than that.
Hey what are you
talking about?
I'm not afraid of that guy.
I'm just being cautious,
come on, you know
I'm not afraid of him,
don't you Cosmo?
Really?
Then prove to me
you're not afraid.
Go.
Fine, I'll prove it.
(GIGGLES)
(WHIMPERS)
Huh?
Hey Joe, you have a plan, man?
I know,
how about we have a competition?
Competition?
Whoever gets closer to the big
guy wins.
So you scared?
Do you forfeit?
Scared?
No way, you're on!
I bet the guy isn't
nearly as mean as he looks.
Hey Joe, look,
I'm touching him.
Your turn.
How was that?
Not bad.
Now check this out.
I'm in his mouth.
Impressed?
Me?
It takes a really special
kind of brave to do this.
Be quiet!
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah?
Well I dare you
to do that again.
Alrighty!
Ha ha Joe, you lost this one.
Even if you press this
last tooth, I'll still
win 'cause I'll have
one more than you, Joe.
(LAUGHS)
You cheated!
Joe, I'm as honest as the day
is long.
And with that said, I retire.
You can't retire!
Don't touch that!
(SCREAMING)
Close one.
Nearly took the whole thing.
What just happened?
I'm stuck In here!
Oh no!
I gotta think of a way out!
You got stuck in there?
Too bad.
Joe,
you know perfectly well I did.
It's all your fault!
You hear me, it's your fault!
Okay,
I'll get you out of there.
Hold on a second!
Come on, open.
(GRUNTS)
Joe Croaker,
what are you doing?
Quit messing around!
You made him angry,
now fix this mess!
You let go right now!
(GRUNTS)
Huh?
The jaw, the jaw's moving.
Don't stop, Joe.
It's stuck again, Joe.
Ah, I got it now.
Hold on there, Cosmo!
(GRUNTING)
I'll get you outta there!
That's good news, Joe Croaker.
I'm going crazy in here,
hurry up!
Whoa, what's that?
Oh no!
Oooo...
What was that?
I just broke this guy's tail
off and he doesn't seem to mind.
That only makes things worse.
(SOBS) Maybe I'll never
get out of here.
(SOBBING)
What's that?
You don't have any faith in me,
do you?
That'll teach you to keep
your mouth shut, Cosmo.
(COSMO SOBBING)
After all that.
That's how he treats Joe
Croaker?
Have fun in there, stupid fly!
I don't need you!
Someone help!
Hey Joe, you gotta come back!
Oh Joe, please.
Your crying means
nothing to me.
Nothing at all.
I'll just go home and have a
rest or two.
(GRUNTING)
Joe Croaker, hey Joe,
come back and save me, Joe!
Oh yeah.
That's nice.
Huh?
This is...
I remember this ice cream stamp.
It's the one Cosmo gave
me for my birthday.
Those too.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
Happy birthday!
(LAUGHTER)
Give it back, Joe!
(WHIMPERING)
I'm sorry!
Oh my, I'm on my way!
Cosmo!
Cosmo!
I'm gonna get you out!
Is that Joe?
Joe, you came back for me!
Now don't worry, I'm gonna set
you free.
I'll get you out!
I love you Joe, really.
Let's go, Joe!
Come on, Joe!
Come on, Joe!
(GROANING)
Are you all right?
I'm sorry, buddy.
You're the bravest,
most trustworthy friend I've ever had.
Hey Joe, we're still good
friends right?
That's it!
Best friends stick together!
(GRUNTING)
Joe, you're doing great!
I finally got out, Joe!
And it's all thanks to you!
Well I only saved you because
I wanted
to bully you like before.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, sure,
act tough as you want.
I know deep down you're just a
big softie.
I am not!
Hey everyone,
Joe has a heart of gold!
JOE: Cosmo, you didn't have
to kiss me.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Are we sure the sound
was coming from here?
Oh yeah, I'm getting closer.
Oh!
Oh!
Ah, oooo.
What is it?
Whoa!
Oh!
Huh?
What is this green thingy?
Oh yeah,
it must taste delicious.
It's weird.
Tastes weirder.
Oh.
Ooooh.
Yeah,
there's candy inside of it.
(GRUNTING)
It's too hard!
(WHISTLES AND YELPS)
Did that thing just scream?
Oh man.
Freaky.
Does it bite?
(WHISTLES)
(LAUGHS) Fun.
(WHISTLES)
This is fun.
I'm gonna give them
a little surprise.
(SNORING)
Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
(WHISTLES)
(SCREAMING)
(WHISTLES)
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(LAUGHING)
This is just too funny.
(GRUNTING)
(LAUGHS)
(WHISTLES)
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
Hey, you're a fool, McBroom!
(LAUGHS)
(WHISTLES)
(HUMMING)
(WHISTLES)
(SCREAMING)
What is that sound?
(GROANING)
My ears!
(LAUGHS)
(GROANS)
What a horrid day.
Tell me about it.
Some crazy alarm
woke me up today.
Now I'm tired!
Huh?
Cosmo, are you telling me you
heard that creepy screech too?
Yeah, and it nearly
scared me half to death!
Harumph.
It made me dizzy,
my head was spinning.
I ended up dropping my
beloved pollen everywhere.
How annoying!
It's weird.
Hey Flutterbye, do you reckon
someone's playing a prank on us?
Yes, someone must be behind
all of this.
Grrr!
Well then I'll find him and sort
him out!
He'll pay the price!
It's Joe Croaker!
Right, Joe Croaker.
He's got a hold of some wee
green object.
Every time he blows it, it
gives this creepy sound.
I was just pushing my dung ball
uphill and he gave me an awful
surprise with that
wretched sound.
And then I fell over.
- Huh?
- Huh?
- Joe, you're toast!
- Joe, you're toast!
(SNORING)
Look, he's there.
That's the green thing, there.
You're not getting away.
Not with me here.
I'll make you pay all right.
(GRUNTING)
(GASPS)
He's awake!
Quick, hide!
(YAWNS)
(SNORING)
We're safe.
(GIGGLES)
We'll put it over here.
Let me blow.
(HUFFS AND PUFFS)
Nothing's happening.
Let me have a try.
(HUFFS AND PUFFS)
Ah!
(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)
You three have a lot
of nerve, don't you?
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
Get off, this green
thing-a-ma-jiggy's mine!
MCBROOM: Let go of me!
It's mine!
(GRUNTING)
You give it back to me!
(SCREAMING)
You give it back!
Freedom!
(GROANING)
Hey, nobody takes my baby away
from me.
Yoink!
Huh?
Grrr!
You!
(GRUNTING)
You get back here now!
It's heavy!
I'm losing it!
Help me guys!
Cosmo, I'm over here, I'll
take it!
Cosmo!
Hey, don't you dare
give that to...
Flutterbye.
Give that back!
(SIGHS)
McBroom, wake up!
Come on, wake up, we gotta help
Flutterbye, wake up please!
Huh?
(SCREAMS) Help me!
Take it!
(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)
Oh no, Joe's got it again!
(GROANING)
Cosmo!
Huh?
Hmmm?
(BURP WHISTLES)
What?
He swallowed that thing.
(LAUGHING)
Cosmo, it's your fault!
(LAUGHTER)
Stop it!
(WHISTLES)
(LAUGHTER)
You bugs, stop laughing!
Go away, go on, get!
COSMO: Joe Croaker!
JOE: Wait 'till I get you,
Cosmo!
COSMO: I'd like to
see you try!
(LAUGHTER)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SNORING)
(SLURPING)
It's delicious!
Huh?
What's that over there?
Woohoo!
Wow!
A waterfall of honey?
It's so magnificent!
There's enough honey for a year.
Huh?
Honey!
Where's the honey?
Huh, huh?
So it was just a dream.
(YAWNS)
Huh?
Why is everything moved around?
This is really really weird.
Oh no, I overslept!
I better get to work!
La la la, la la-la-la
Good nectar.
Now I just have to transfer
it over to this bigger jar.
Huh?
Oh no, I just spilled it!
Waste not, want not.
Better go wash my hands.
Oh?
What happened to me?
My neck!
(HUMMING)
Huh?
Isn't that Bartle Bee there?
Hey Bartle Bee,
good morning my friend.
Morning, Cosmo.
Since when did you
start staring
at yourself like Flutterbye?
Like Flutterbye?
Yup, she stares at herself
every single morning.
Now you're doing the same.
Huh?
Why you looking at me like that?
Staring is kinda rude you know.
I didn't mean it!
Oh Bartle Bee,
you're still doing it!
Looking at me
sideways like that.
I'm outta here!
Cosmo!
Where should I
put these flowers?
Bartle Bee!
Huh?
Hey Bart!
Hi!
What can I help you with,
Flutterbye?
Hi there,
I want to hang up these
lovely flowers, maybe you can
help me.
Oh, sure.
Fantastic!
How is it?
Does it look all right?
Uh...
Lower the right side.
Now is it okay?
Just a little lower.
Now it's perfect.
Thank you so much, Bartle Bee!
My pleasure.
Okay.
Let's check this out.
Oh?
Why is it crooked?
(GROANING)
McBroom, what's bothering you,
buddy?
I wanna get this home,
but there
are parts in the road there.
Look.
See?
Oh, wait, you can be my guide.
All you do is tell me which way
to roll.
Keep going.
Stay on the track, to
the right, to the right!
No no, to the left!
Or maybe not.
Make up your mind!
Oh, to the right,
to the right!
Hurry up!
To the right, right!
Whoa!
(SCREAMS)
Sorry about that.
I gotta go.
I really don't
understand what's
wrong with Bartle Bee today.
I know!
He's gone totally crazy!
We should string him up
and hang him out to dry!
Pronto!
(SOBS) Also, well,
he ruined my dung ball.
Oh stop crying, McBroom.
Come on, let's go find him.
My poor dung ball.
Look, he's over there!
BUG GANG: Bartle Bee!
Oh, you scared me, guys.
Hey, you led me astray
and I lost my dung ball.
Hey you,
why did you lie to me?
It's not nice!
You disrespected me!
I did not!
- You did!
- You did!
MCBROOM: It's all your fault!
FLUTTERBYE: You're mean!
(BUGS BICKERING)
Stop it, please listen to me!
- Eh?
- Huh?
Go on.
Well I have a stiff neck!
- Oh my.
- Oh my.
What is a stiff neck?
Well it all started last
night, I had
a nice dream, but when I woke up
I realized I was sleeping on my
neck all wrong, it really hurts.
That's why I see
everything sideways
and that's why I hurt your all.
(LAUGHTER)
Hey, this isn't funny!
Honestly, I'm in a lot of pain!
All right, Bartle Bee, I'll
give you a massage now, okay?
But, uh...
Hey, trust me, Bartle Bee.
I've got strong hands.
McBroom, stop it!
Just relax.
You'll feel better
once I'm finished.
Please, let me go!
(GASPS)
(SCREAMS)
(GROANING)
His head's still tilted.
Huh?
(LAUGHTER)
Go away!
- Here we come!
- Here we come!
FLUTTERBYE: Tickle tickle
tickle!
(LAUGHTER)
Please untie me!
It's so tickely!
Guys, come on, please
stop, it's so tickely!
Whoa!
Did it work, did it work?
(GROANING)
FLUTTERBYE:
Doesn't look like it.
You guys really
aren't helping.
Since tickling didn't work,
we'll
have to try things Cosmo's way.
(CHUCKLES)
Bartle Bee.
What is it?
(SCREAMING)
MCBROOM: The humanity!
Stop screaming,
I'm almost finished.
Cosmo, let go of me!
Cosmo, I'll get you!
- Get back here!
- Sorry, Bartle Bee!
Cosmo!
(GROANING)
Hey, are you all right?
My neck is all better!
Yeah, fantastic-a-roonie!
Oh Joe Croaker,
thank you so much.
How nice of you.
Oh this is nothing, I can
handle more, and even more.
More and more and more,
you betcha.
As much as you like.
Oh I know, you're fantastic.
Such a champion.
There we are,
just lay it down here.
And Joe, thanks again.
No problem.
It's always my pleasure.
Oh you're great!
I bet this gorgeous
beauty's going
to light up my whole place!
Huh?
(GRUNTING)
This is too easy.
I should probably
double the dung
and roll a bigger one tomorrow.
Wow, McBroom is really strong!
Ah!
McBroom!
Stop!
Listen, you think you're a big
guy, but I'm much stronger.
Oh, I, well, I, uh...
Never mind that.
Let's have a competition.
All right.
You're on.
Oh my!
So I can prove my
masculine strength, yeah!
Oh my, I lost my
train of thought.
So will you be the referee?
All right.
Oh, I...
I'll go first, okay?
(GRUNTING)
Oh!
That's awesome.
(CHUCKLES)
Come on, McBroom!
Yeah.
So go on then.
(LAUGHS)
Oh?
Oh!
It's lighter than it looks.
McBroom, you're outstanding!
(STUTTERING) I was just
getting ready.
I haven't even started yet.
Oh wow.
You see that rock over there?
Who's first?
You!
What, that thing?
Mmmhm.
(VOICEOVER) Getting cold feet,
huh?
It does looks heavy though.
(LAUGHS) I really hope it don't
crush him.
(GRUNTING)
Oh!
Come on, you're up.
Well then,
if we're gonna do it,
we'll do it like professionals.
Why don't we go home and make a
barbell or something heavy
like that,
then we can come back
and have a rematch.
What do you say?
Oh, all right.
I bet you're really scared
now, McBroom.
I am the master of the pond.
- Huh?
- Huh?
(HUMMING)
Oh!
It's you!
I can't believe it.
He's stronger than I expected.
What am I gonna do?
Oh perfect.
I'm ruined if I don't win.
Oh come on, Joe!
No way!
I'm not gonna stand
for this anymore!
I'm king of the pond, McBroom.
I'll have you!
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
(GRUNTING)
There's no way I'm
gonna let you defeat me!
Come on!
Come on!
(GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
Oh?
Oh!
(GRUNTING)
One, two, three...
Seven, 16, 100!
(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING)
(GRUNTING)
You're mine now!
You ready for this, McBroom?
Let's do this thing.
All right.
Okay, so let's begin.
Yeah, me first.
(GRUNTING)
Wow, you sure have been
practicing.
Okay, your turn.
Don't push yourself, you might
get hurt.
Light as a feather.
Oh!
(CHUCKLES)
There's no way you could've
lifted that,
you must've cheated!
Impressive, this round
is a draw.
That was just something
to get started with.
Let's double it, I'll go first.
That looks heavy.
Are you sure you can do it, Joe?
Just wait and see.
(GRUNTING)
Wow, come on!
Joe Croaker's the
real champion.
You eat my dust.
- Oh!
- Oh!
(GRUNTING)
Whoa!
Hey!
What's going on here?
Hey Joe, are you all right?
(SOBBING)
I lost to a stupid,
good for nothing bug?
No, no!
(COSMO HUMMING)
Huh?
What's that thing?
Wow, it looks shiny.
I'll check it out.
What kind of sorcery is this?
I've never seen
anything like it.
A round, bulbous tail?
A big ol' belly?
And look at that head.
I should introduce myself.
Hi there, I'm Cosmo.
Wowee, you sure are a
fragrant one.
Have you been rolling around in
the trash?
Come on dung ball, keep
a-rolling.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Woo!
What was that?
The life of a fly.
(GROANING)
I don't feel so good.
The smell of that stink bug's
all over me.
This is embarrassing.
(SOBBING)
Oh wonderful!
That's where it's coming from.
I gotta take a rest.
How can I get rid of this smell?
This is amazing!
Bartle Bee, why are you
circling me?
Hey there, Cosmo.
What are you doing?
You smell great!
Cosmo, I want to invite you to
my place.
Your place?
But last week you said to never
come back.
Did I really?
I didn't mean it.
How about I give you some honey.
Okay?
Sure!
Wait right there.
What's wrong with
Bartle Bee today?
At least I get some free honey
out of it.
(HUMMING)
(GIGGLES)
Eh?
Ah, what's that?
(HUMMING)
I can taste it already.
Cosmo?
My.
Hi, Flutterbye.
Cosmo, I find you
exceptionally charming today.
(CHUCKLES) Only today?
Better late than never I guess,
huh?
Cosmo, let's go to my
place for some nectar.
Seriously?
Flutterbye, you've never
invited anybody to your house.
Oh don't be silly, sure I do.
Here, take this.
Well aren't you sweet.
I've got even more
at my place.
Come on, big boy.
Okay!
Huh?
Come on, Cosmo.
I'm coming.
Wait!
Cosmo, I brought you honey.
You wanna go to my house, huh?
Okay, sure!
Bartle Bee, but Cosmo's
already coming with me!
But he agreed to come with me.
I've got a nectar stash.
And I've got honey.
He's coming with me!
With me!
With me!
With me!
With me!
Mama, and you said I'd never
be popular.
(LAUGHS)
Cosmo, take this,
let's go purify.
Let's go to my place.
Flutterbye!
He's all mine!
He's mine!
He's mine!
BARTLE: He's mine, he's mine!
You're annoying!
I'm outta here, and I'm
taking these with me!
It's been a long time since
I've had honey as fine as this.
Maybe I can get some
more out of those two.
FLUTTERBYE: Of course
you can.
(GIGGLES)
Flutterbye?
Eek!
Why are you stalking me?
This is kinda creepy.
Cosmo.
Gah!
What are you trying to do to me?
I'm sleeping this
nightmare away.
- Cosmo.
- Cosmo.
What?
Cosmo, are you tired?
We'll stand guard
while you sleep, Cosmo.
Well whatever.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(YAWNING)
- Cosmo.
- Cosmo.
Hiya.
Ah!
When are you two bugs
gonna leave my domicile?
Cosmo, are you hungry now?
We've brought some food.
Lots of sugary pollen and honey.
Oh wow!
Eat up, Cosmo.
My favorite!
So do you think we could stay
a little longer at your house?
Whatever.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.
- Mmmm...
- Cosmo!
- Cosmo!
Hey Cosmo!
Where are you going?
That's enough!
Come on, this is
ridiculous, don't you think?
About that, we're just fans.
Come on, for you!
You two, that wasn't
even an answer!
Cosmo, the thing is,
I don't know if you're
aware at all, but you
smell super heavenly.
It's true!
Huh?
Smells nice?
Oh, now I remember.
It was that stink bug that
blasted me.
That's why Flutterbye and
Bartle Bee keep following me.
Right, I gotta get rid of them.
Hey, look out!
- What?
- What?
- What is it, Cosmo?
- What is it, Cosmo?
Cosmo is gone.
I know, what should we do now?
Let's find him.
Yes.
(GRUNTING)
(LAUGHS)
I smell better now.
Isn't that McBroom?
I got it!
Hey!
Cosmo.
Hey McBroom, tell me what I
smell like.
Wow, so good!
You smell just like me wheel,
man!
That should just about do it.
Cosmo?
Cosmo?
Hey!
I'm over here, you guys!
Cosmo!
Come here, lovely friends.
Hi!
(LAUGHS)
- We're coming!
- We're coming!
I'm waiting.
(GIGGLING)
(SCREAMING)
Oh no, that stinks!
That stinks!
It's awful!
Where you going?
(CHUCKLES)
Aha, we meet again at last.
Listen, you better apologize...
After I drop this off, I'm
gonna roll an even bigger one!
It got stuck again.
Come on!
Hey McBroom, don't do it!
(GROANING)
- Morning.
- Morning.
Wanna play, Cosmo?
COSMO: Help me!
(SNORING)
Achoo!
What was that?
Sure was itchy.
Huh?
Ah!
That was a close one.
Phew, so it's not a bird.
False alarm.
(LAUGHS)
Huh?
Oh!
Oh, it's a feather!
(CHUCKLES)
It's really cuddly and soft.
Achoo!
How cool is this thing?
(CHUCKLES) It's just great.
It sure makes a great fan.
(SIGHS)
It's gotta be the
hottest day ever.
(HUMMING)
It's Joe.
Oh yeah.
That's cool.
Ooo-ee, nice cool air.
Get lost!
Hey there Joe, how
come you're not fanning?
It's much cooler when you do.
Come on Joe, let's get cracking.
Buzz off, fly!
The cool air's just for me.
(SIGHING)
Don't bug me!
This is for my comfort only.
Oh that's the stuff, give it
to me.
Hey, what are you doing?
Why are you so selfish?
Forget you!
Ooo la la, ooo la la, ooo la,
la-la
Joe Croaker!
La-la-la-la, la la
Flutterbye, hey.
Did you call me.
(GIGGLES) That's right.
Wow.
It's so nice.
That feather is beautiful!
Oh yeah, it sure is.
Right now I'm going for a
certain look,
so could you lend me this pretty
feather?
No way!
How would I ever fan myself?
Just one day.
One day?
I'm gonna need this fan.
(SOBBING)
Well I'm cool and you're not.
Grow up.
Hey, I'm free!
I feel the wind!
You can go away.
Huh?
Wow, I think I'm gonna
like this.
Whoa!
All right, I'm coming in for a
landing!
(CHEERING)
Well hey, Bartle Bee,
how you doing?
I'm doing just fine, now it's
your turn to give it a try.
(CHUCKLES) It's my turn.
Yahoo!
I'm so high!
(LAUGHS)
Woo!
Mole Cricket can't fly.
I'll go see.
(CHUCKLES) I haven't had this
much fun in my entire life.
Just pure fun, that's
what I'm talking about.
Snout snout.
Snout!
Snout!
Hmm.
Wow, Joe!
(CHUCKLES) I'm gonna use it
to fly.
Hey Joe Croaker, don't!
Don't try it!
(SOBBING)
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, yeah.
Wheee!
What?
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Hey, are you okay?
That thing can't hold
your weight.
What was that?
What was that?
What was that?
Oh!
- Let's go again!
- Yeah!
I'm gonna fly now!
That's it!
Way to go!
I'll make a parachute.
Hey, yeah!
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
Oh.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah.
(GRUNTING)
Yeah!
Bouncy.
(SCREAMING)
(LOUD CLANG)
(GROANING)
Ah!
Feathers!
(LAUGHS)
Yeah!
I'll show these insects
a thing or
two about who they're
dealing with!
(LAUGHING)
Snout!
Good job, good job!
Snout!
MOLE: It's your turn.
STROBE: Right, hand it over.
- Snout.
- Huh?
(LAUGHING)
- Joe Croaker?
- Snout?
Yup.
I'm gonna show you what
flying's all about, you insects!
Whoa whoa whoa!
No!
- Joe!
- Snout!
Uh...
(WHIMPERING)
Huh?
(LAUGHS) Hey, lookie here.
Insects, no hands!
(BUGS SCREAMING)
Why are they running?
They're just jealous, yeah.
(SCREAMING)
Let me go!
Hey!
(SCREAMING)
Let me go, let me go!
(WHIMPERING)
(CHIRPING)
Help me!
(UPBEAT SAX MUSIC)
La la la, la-la-la la
La la la, la-la-la
This is an outstanding day.
Oh?
What are those things?
Huh?
It's really light.
I wonder what could be
inside of it.
I'll open it.
(GRUNTING)
This is tough.
I would walk 500 miles
and I would
Morning, McBroom.
Oh, hello Bartle Bee.
What is that you've got
in your hand?
Well I have no idea.
Oh, there's another one there.
This is like nothing
I've ever seen.
It sounds hollow inside
and I cannot open it.
Let's try opening it together.
Right.
(GRUNTING)
Try harder!
Whoa!
(GROANING)
Oh my head.
What's going on?
Why's it so dark
all of a sudden?
(LAUGHING)
Huh?
Whoa, this is fantastic!
We finally opened it.
Oh yeah!
The suspense is over.
Oh, McBroom,
it's completely empty.
So we can use them to store
different things, can we?
Sounds perfect, McBroom.
See you around!
Bye, Bartle.
Oh?
I know, I can keep me wee balls
in there.
La la, la la la
Oh yeah, now I only
have to seal the top.
Wow!
It looks magical.
(CHUCKLES) This is the
perfect little
place to store all the
nectar I collect.
Ingenious!
You just get cozy in
amongst the petals.
And I'll be back after
I collect some nectar.
One frog has one mouth and two
eyes and four legs to jump on.
(LAUGHS)
What's that thing?
Hmm?
I really like the color
of this thing.
I bet there's some juice inside.
Wonderful!
I found my treasure!
I'm gonna take this one home.
Whoa!
Ow!
(CHOKING)
I'm choking!
(COUGHS)
What's this?
It's beautiful!
Like the stuff dreams
are made of.
This thing is useless.
I couldn't even fit me wee
dung balls inside here.
What have I just done?
I got a great idea!
I can fit me wee bits of dung
inside here.
(CHUCKLES) Oh my, yum.
I never tasted anything
so amazing.
My my, I'd like another one.
But I don't know if I
could find one.
Hey McBroom, have you seen any
sugary sweet tubes around here?
Aye, looks perfect.
Hey McBroom, so that tube in
your hands, it looks like mine.
Oh yeah, pretty cool ain't it?
Did you know that
tube is a rare delicacy?
It's so great!
Joe Croaker,
you sure you like it?
Oh yeah, I just finished
one of those this morning.
It was the most
delicious thing ever.
It is soft and smooth and juicy.
Tremendously sweet.
Nothing can beat that taste.
Hey, you're telling me the
truth, eh?
Of course, yes,
I am being so serious.
Well you've got great
taste, Joe Croaker,
because most people
might find this
type of food a
wee bit disgusting.
Yeah?
Just ignore them.
As long as we're loving them,
yeah.
Aye, you're right, so
let's share this one.
Oh yeah, Broom, you're
gonna be my new best friend!
It's so great to have a friend
who can share my appetite
for foods
that may seem a wee bit
strange to others.
Oh?
My nectar tube,
where could it be?
I left it right here.
Joe Croaker, I cannot
believe I was wrong about you.
We should share it.
Okay.
Hey, McBroom, I'm pretty sure I
just heard you say we could
share it.
Aye, I did say that.
But I think maybe we could
eat this big one first.
Huh?
They taste almost
exactly the same.
Hey, you said you
would share, huh McBroom?
I want that tube that you got
in your hands right there!
But it's mine!
I don't care.
No way, I can't!
Then we'll do this
the hard way.
(MCBROOM SCREAMS)
McBroom!
Somebody help me!
Help, somebody!
Whoa!
Gotcha, pipsqueak!
Oh, right.
(GROANING)
Good to see you again,
old pal.
No way!
Hey you!
Look there!
Oh!
All mine.
It doesn't belong to you!
Give it back!
You're a big meanie!
JOE: Whatever.
Joe Croaker!
What's going on?
Bartle Bee, Joe Croaker
stole a tube of me dung.
Look!
(CHUCKLES)
Isn't that my nectar tube?
No, it's mine.
Oh really?
That's a bit weird.
Where's mine then?
I put it among the
flower petals.
(WHISTLES)
But McBroom, it's gone now.
I best get out of here.
BARTLE: Have you seen
it, it's filled with nectar.
That's right!
Joe Croaker said he ate
one that tasted sweet.
That must've been your one.
Huh?
Joe?
Where'd that big thief go?
Joe Croaker!
(CHUCKLES)
Quit laughing!
You give it back right now!
No, my sweet dung tube!
It took me hours to fill that
tube and you just ate it?
I can't believe it.
Say what?
Are you telling Joe Croaker
just ate a dung tube?
(COUGHING AND GAGGING)
Gross!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(YAWNS)
So tired.
Cosmo.
Oh hey!
Yo Cosmo!
Flutterbye is really sick
and I'm
taking her some of
her favorite food.
Favorite food?
Yeah, well I gotta get going,
see ya.
Hang on Cosmo,
I'm coming with you!
Coming!
I'm coming, I'm coming!
So Flutterbye,
you feel any better?
Here, I brought you some of
my special reserved chocolates!
Come on, try some, they're
good for your health.
Thank you.
You're amazing for doing this.
(SOBBING)
COSMO: Don't cry Flutterbye,
it's okay.
Wow, there's tons of food!
Yummy for me.
I guess there's one
advantage to being sick.
Being sick?
I've got an idea!
(CHUCKLES)
Time for some
dumpster scavenging.
(JOE COUGHING)
Hmm?
Joe seems ill.
What's wrong?
Hey Joe!
(SNEEZING)
Are you all right?
Hold on, you're sick too?
I am.
Really?
I can't imagine you
getting sick.
Okay, just lie down.
I'll go find you
something to eat.
Oh thank you, Cosmo.
(CHUCKLES)
(JOE COUGHING)
Oh?
Oh Joe Croaker,
you don't seem well.
Is it a bad cold?
I've brought you some of my
best pollen.
You're going to love it!
You're so sweet Flutterbye,
thank you.
Oh dear, you better
get some rest
and I'll come see you
again tomorrow.
The sick one gets the worm.
Hey Joe!
I told everyone in the marsh
that you're
sick, they're coming to see you,
okay?
(LAUGHING)
Oh yeah, look at all
this wonderful food!
Just for Joe Croaker,
all for me!
(LAUGHING)
It's no fun without
Joe around.
That's it, I've gotta find a
way to cure that sick frog.
(HUMMING)
Hey there, Knitty.
Joe Croaker's sick.
Can you help him out?
Joe is sick?
I think I can.
I got something right here.
What is that thing?
It's an herbal medicine.
Now you run along and
give it to him right away.
Thank you, Knitty!
I'll see you around!
(MUNCHING)
This is delicious.
Hey Joe!
I got some medicine
for you from Knitty.
She says it'll make you
feel better.
Soon you'll be on the
road to recovery.
That's just bitter!
I can see you're much better.
Maybe you don't need any.
(COUGHING)
I feel awful.
Well maybe I'm wrong, so just
in case you should
take your medicine.
I don't think these herbs
are working too well.
(JOE COUGHING)
I need another cure.
For the sake of all of this
food, I must remain sickly.
I don't like medicine.
What to do.
McBroom knows stuff about stuff.
McBroom, McBroom!
It's Joe, he's really really
really sick,
and the medicine I
gave him isn't
working, so maybe you
have an idea.
You should've told me
this earlier.
Sure I've got a better idea.
Let's stick a dung ball
in his mouth.
Really?
(SNORING)
Hey Joe!
Joe wake up, come on
and sniff this!
Sniff it good, Joe!
It'll bring you back to health!
(SCREAMING)
What are you doing with that
dung ball?
McBroom told me this
is a legendary
dung ball that has great
healing powers.
Come on, sniff away.
Cosmo, that's something I just
won't do!
Oh Joe, just ignore the smell,
do you really wanna get better?
Come on Joe, just sniff it!
Get it away from me!
Joe, it's for your own good,
hurry up!
Joe, quick,
what's that over there?
Sniff it!
Achoo!
(GROANING)
You!
But don't you feel better?
(GROANING)
Cosmo, I'm all dizzy.
Maybe the dung ball
ain't magic.
(CHUCKLES)
(SNORING)
Hurry up Mantis, Joe's inside.
(SCREAMING)
Joe!
Mantis here's gonna
perform surgery on you.
Say what?
Oh yes, surgery.
Surgery?
Yup.
Yeah, I'm the best saw-bones
in town.
Trust him Joe,
his arms are sharp.
No!
Come on, trust me.
No no no no!
One slice and you'll be nice.
All right.
Don't worry Joe, I'll be here
with you through the
whole operation.
(WHIMPERING)
Right about here.
Don't panic, just relax.
No, no, don't do it, Mantis!
I'm not sick!
I'm not sick!
I'm not sick!
Leave me alone!
