"Hiding Hedgehogs."
Ready, Samson?
You know it!
I may not be able to fly,
but at least I can slide!
-Wait for me!
-Woo-hoo!
[giggling]
-[squeaking]
-[Horton, Samson] Aw!
Hi, cute little spiky things!
[Horton] Baby hedgehogs.
-[hedgehog squeaks]
-Whoa.
This one's got a really strong grip!
Hey, Horton! Hi, Samson!
Hey, Leni!
This is Scout, Sunny, and Sophia.
I'm babysitting them today.
And they need lots of extra snuggles
'cause they don't like the loud thunder.
-[Samson giggles]
-They do like your feathers, Samson.
Aw! Well, I like
their cute little spiky spikes.
-[thunder crashes]
-[yelping]
[Leni gasps, sighs]
That was loud, huh, babies?
[gasps] Babies?
-Uh-oh.
-They're gone?
Oh no! The thunder must have scared them!
Look, baby hedgehog tracks.
They rolled that way!
I've gotta go find them!
[Leni gasps]
What if they come back and I'm not here?
Leni, I hear you, and I can help.
Stay here in case the babies come home.
Samson and I will look for them.
Really? You will?
Elephant's Honor.
And Bird's Word.
Doo-doo-doo-doo! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
You don't need to worry ♪
-We'll help you in a hurry ♪
-Hurry! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da
We are gonna help! ♪
[Horton sighs]
Oh no! The tracks have stopped!
We'll never find them now!
Never, ever, ever!
[hedgehog squeaking]
Oh hey, we found one!
-[thunder crashes]
-[Scout whimpers]
It's Scout! And she's scared!
She must have climbed those steps.
Come on, we gotta get her.
-Kangaroo coming through!
-Huh?
Move it, Beezlenut brains.
I'm hopping here.
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
[gasps] No!
Jane broke the steps!
Now how are we gonna get to Scout?
-[thunder crashes]
-[Scout whimpers]
Don't worry, Scout! We're coming!
[Horton grunts]
You can do it, Horton! Woo-hoo!
Whoa-oa-oa!
[Horton grunts]
Oh no. The mud's way too slippery.
Ah! Maybe I could fly up.
[grunts, yelps]
Nope, still can't fly.
-We've gotta find another way up there.
-But Horton, there is no other way!
Maybe if we climb this tree,
we could swing on those branches
and get up to Scout.
Oh, the other other way.
[chuckles] Why didn't you say so?
Come on, let's swing!
We're coming, Scout!
[Samson] Whoa!
[Horton] This is fun!
[Samson] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Argh! Our fun's about to end!
That next branch is too far.
We'll fall to our doom, Horton. Our doom!
We can make it.
We just need a really big… swing!
[Samson wails]
[chipmunk gasps]
-[Horton] Woo-hoo-hoo!
-[Samson] Whoa-oa!
-Yippee!
-[Samson yelps]
[Samson wails, grunts]
Hey, we made it. Hi there!
-[Scout squeaks happily]
-Aw, I got you, Scoutie-pie.
-[thunder crashes]
-But how are we gonna find the other two?
-[squeak]
-[gasps] Did you hear that?
-[squeaking]
-Sounds like little squeaks.
It must be one of the babies.
Come on, this way!
-[squeaking]
-I heard the squeaks again. Over here!
-[Samson gasps]
-[Horton] It's Sunny! He's okay!
-Hi, Sunny!
-How'd he get down there?
[Horton] I don't know.
-[Sunny yelps]
-[Horton] But he can't get back.
Hmm.
Maybe there's something in the backpack
that can help.
-A sandwich.
-[Samson] Mm.
A spyglass and…
[Scout giggles]
Oh, Samson. I found your fishing pole.
My best fishing pole.
Hmm, I wonder if we could use this.
Pfft! Come on! What are we gonna do?
Lower you down to Sunny
with that fishing pole? [chuckles]
Great idea, Samson.
What? I was kidding! That'll never work!
-It's working, Samson!
-Of course it's working.
[laughs] I'm a genius.
[Scout giggles]
Keep an eye on Scout up there.
Watch this little cutesy-wootsy?
No problem.
Come on, Scout.
Sit right over here like a good hedgehog.
Ah, babysitting is so easy.
-[Scout giggles]
-Oh! Hey now!
Okay, Scout!
Whoa-oa-oa!
[giggling] Stop.
Oh! [grunts]
Whew! Hi, little buddy. Come here.
[Sunny squeaks]
Okay, Samson! Reel us in!
[Samson giggling]
Oh, that tickles! Scout, stop it!
Uh, Samson?
I'm coming, Horton!
Oh, where's the…
Got it! I'm reeling, I'm reeling!
Whoa! We're on our way, Sunny.
-[Sunny squeaks]
-[Samson grunts]
[Scout squeaks impatiently]
Not now, Scout.
I am very busy fishing for Horton!
[Scout squeaks loudly]
Huh? [squeals]
Watch out, Horton!
-Oh no!
-[Scout squeaks]
Uh, Samson?
[gasps] You're alive!
Yeah! Ha-ha!
We did it!
[giggling]
Two babies down, one to go.
Can you hear Sophia
with those super-duper ears, Horton?
-[quiet squeaking]
-I do hear squeaking, but it sounds like…
[Millie] Goodness!
-Oh!
-Millie!
Horton! I'm so glad I found you!
I was just having my cheese
when I heard a squeak for help.
It's a sweet baby hedgehog.
-Sophia!
-[worried squeaking]
Can you show us where?
She's here.
All the way at the top of this mountain.
Thanks, Millie.
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Let's go!
I see Sophia!
[Sophia squeaks sadly]
[Horton] At the top of the mountain!
Oh no. Sophia! She's stuck.
And we'll never get to her!
Just a little baby,
all alone in the cold and the rain.
[gasps] The cold rain!
We're not giving up.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
We'll get Sophia down, no matter what.
You're right. We can do this.
Maybe I need a sandwich for strength.
[Samson grunts]
Whoops! That's not a sandwich.
[giggles] Wait,
are those giant underpants?
Of course. You never know when
you're gonna need some big ol' undies.
[giggles] They're so big.
Maybe even big enough
to make the first ever flying underpants!
The what?

Sophia, hang on!
Come on, reach! Just a little further!
Gotcha! Yes!
We did it! Woo-hoo!
Now take us home, giant undies!
[excited squeaking]
[giggling]
Horton! Samson! You found the babies!
[giggling]
I'm so glad my little buddies are back.
Thanks. I don't know
what I would've done without you.
We're just happy those cuties are safe.
I'm back!
Oh! Hello, Horton and Samson.
Good to see you.
I hope you weren't bored
on such a rainy day.
Oh, it definitely wasn't boring.
Just tiring.
-[soft snoring]
-Aw!
So cute!
[Sophia snores loudly]
[giggling]
That's my babies.
"Hoppy birthday."
-[birds singing]
-What a pretty day!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing.
I sure am!
Bah-dah-bah, boo-doo-boo ♪
-Whoa!
-Hey, there's a present on the ground!
[gasps] Oh no.
Someone's missing a present, Horton.
Sound the alarm.
Sound the alarm!
Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
You found it! Phew.
I was looking for that.
Oh, uh, stop the alarm.
[giggles] It's Bailey.
Thanks. For a second, I thought I lost
my cousin's birthday present.
It's your cousin's birthday today?
Yep. I'm hopping to Bunny Hollow
for the birthday party right now.
Just gotta put this with the others.
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
These are all for one cousin?
Nope. I've got a lot of cousins,
and it's all their birthdays.
How many cousins do you have?
Well, there's Bizzlebee,
Winsome, Quinsome,
Elvis, Luna, Cuddles, Chloe,
Hopsalot, Flopsy, Bunsen.
Oh, and Mark. Can't forget Mark.
That is a lot of cousins.
I can't wait for them
to open their presents.
[squeals] Better get hopping!
[grunting]
Whoa!
Oh no. This wagon is too heavy.
Uh, might be all those presents.
But I need to bring all of them
for my cousins.
Bailey, I hear you, and I can help.
Samson and I will help you
bring the presents.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! You will?

Bunny Hollow, here we come!
Hooray!
Oh, this party's gonna be fun, fun, fun!
Well, we love birthday parties.
Especially when there's cake.
There is gonna be cake, right?
Uh-huh. Carrot cake!
[giggles] Great.
And all we have to do to get there is…
-Uh-oh.
-"Uh-oh"?
Wha… Don't say "uh-oh."
"Uh-oh" means bad. Never say "uh-oh."
Bunny Hollow is
on the other side of this cliff.
[Samson] Uh-oh.
It's so high.
How are we gonna get up there
with all the presents?
Maybe I can fly up there.
[puffs, yelps]
Nope, still can't fly.
Oh, I guess we're stuck here.
The only thing we can do now
is shake every present
and guess what's inside!
Wait, I think Gabe
lives around here somewhere.
[toots] Gabe!
Huh? Oh, hiya, Horton. Whatcha doing here?
Hi, Gabe. We're going to Bunny Hollow,
but we need to get to the other side
of this cliff. Do you know a way?
The only way is straight up.
But I can give you a boost.
I just need to get my cousins.
Gabe? Gabe? Gabe? Gabe!
Hiya!
-Hey there!
-Hey there!
-Howdy!
-Hi!
-Howdy!
-Hello!
Wow, Gabe has even more cousins than I do.
Get ready, Gabes!
It's time for Operation Elevator. Hup!
-Here you go, Gabe.
-Thanks, Gabe.
-Heads up, Gabe.
-Caught it, Gabe.
Wait, it could fall.
It could break. It could
make it to the top.
They're really good at that.
Here we go.
I got it.
Here you go!
-Catch, Gabe!
-Got it, Gabe!
Here you go, Gabe.
Heads up.
Nice throw, Gabe.
Good one, Gabe.
Okay, that's everything.
-Whoa!
-Whee!
-Argh!
-Up you go!
Elephant on the way!
-Wow, you all are really strong.
-Whoa-oa!
-Hi there.
-Whoa!
Careful with the feathers. Whoa!
Almost there. One more big toss, please.
Here you go!
[grunts]
Good luck!
Whoo!
Ha-ha! Yippee!
Argh!
[Samson grunts, gasps]
We made it!
And the Gabes got every single present.
Yep.
Thanks, Gabes!
-You're welcome!
-Sure thing!
-Bye!
-See ya later!
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Now let's get to that party.
Whoa, this is gonna be steep. Hold on!
[Horton grunts]
Whee! [giggles]
[Jane laughs]
Kangaroo coming through.
Out of the way, Beezlenut brains.
I'm skating here.
Jane, look out!
[air hisses]
-Argh!
-What was that?
Oh no! The wheel popped.
Jane! Our wagon is broken!
Huh? Oh, well.
Bad for you, but goody, goody for me!
Whoa-oa-oa!
[grunts]
I meant to do that.
Horton, can we still ride on the wagon?
Let's see. [grunts]
[sighs, grunts]
Nope. It won't move.
Then go! Leave me here.
I'll stay with the presents.
Just think of me
when you're eating birthday cake.
I hope it's delicious.
Samson, we're not leaving.
Maybe there's something in the backpack
that can help. Ooh, snacks.
Laundry basket.
And… skis?
Samson, did you pack these?
Sure did. It's gonna snow.
It is? When?
Someday.
And when that day comes,
oh-ho-ho, we'll be ready!
[giggles] I wonder if these skis
could help us move the wagon.
Ha-ha! What are we gonna do?
Ski this wagon down a hill of rocks?
[gasps] Great idea, Samson.
I was kidding, Horton.
This will never work.
It's worth a try.
Come on, ski wagon. Show us what you got.
[grunts]
Hooray!
Yes, yes, yes! It's working!
It is? I mean, of course it is! [giggles]
I'm a genius.
Woo-hoo!
Here we go!

-Woo-hoo!
-Yeah! [Samson giggles]
Ah, finally, a nice smooth ride.
I hope there's no more bumps up ahead.
No bumps, just a gigantic canyon!
Argh! Hold on!
Whoa-oa-oa!
[all wailing]
-Whoa.
-That was a closey.
Phew.
Look! There's Bunny Hollow.
-Hooray!
-[bunny giggles]
But there's no way to get over there.
[sighs] Guess my cousins
won't get their presents.
Bailey, we're not giving up.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
We'll think of something.
I hope so
because if we don't,
this'll be the worst bunny birthday ever!
[sobs, yelps]
Whoa!
[grunts]
-Didn't see that coming.
-Samson, you just gave me an idea.
If we can't hop across the canyon,
maybe we could spring across.
Okay, ready to spring?
Ready, ready, ready!
I'll never be ready, but okay.
One, two, three, spring!
Um…
[Samson] I can't look!
-Wahoo!
-Oh no!
[all wailing]
[Samson] We're not gonna make it!
Oh, yes, we will! Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha-ha!
-Whoo!
-We made it!
Bunny Hollow!
Um, where are the presents?
-Heads up!
-[Samson] Incoming!
Yikes!
[grunting]
-I got 'em!
-You did it!
Hooray!
-Bailey, you came!
-Hooray!
-It's Bailey!
-Luna!
Winsome! Quinsome! Mark! Hoppy birthday!
Aw.
So sweet.
[gasps] Are those for us?
You bet they are, Luna.
We brought them this whole way
just for you.
-Thank you!
-Presents!
-[giggles]
-Woo-hoo!
-[giggles]
-I love my present!
Me too!
Thanks, Horton! Thanks, Samson!
Best bunny birthday ever!
Thanks for inviting us to the party.
Yep! It's almost perfect.
Almost?
Hey, everybody. Who wants cake?
Okay, now it's perfect.
-[giggles] Yum!
-Yay!
Hop hop hooray!
-Yay! Carrot cake!
-Yay!
My favorite!
