"The Twinkleberry Tree."
[festive music playing]
A little more glitter.
A little more.
A little more.
How about a lot more?
-Achoo!
-[Horton giggles]
Perfect.
They're our sparkliest ornaments ever.
Yup. Let's go hang them
on the Twinkleberry tree. Come on.
Ooh, I can't wait
for the Twinkleberry Tree Festival.
Me too. I love the Twinkleberry tree
and the singing and the hot cocoa,
and everyone's so happy.
Huh! Out of my way, Twinkleberry brains.
I wanna see the Twinkleberry tree first.
Well, almost everyone.
[Horton] Huh?
Hey, there's no Twinkleberry tree!
-Oh no!
-Where is it?
It's terrible. Just terrible.
I went to Twinkleberry Forest, but…
[gasps] Look!
[Horton] Hmm.
[gasps] There's a yeti
blocking the forest.
A yeti?!
-[Horton yelps]
-You mean a big, stompy snow monster?!
Hide me, Horton.
I didn't dare try to get past the yeti, so
I couldn't get a tree.
[groans sadly]
So no Twinkleberry Tree? No festival?
We need our festival.
This is awful!
Don't worry, everyone.
I hear you, and I can help.
Samson and I will get past that yeti
and bring back a Twinkleberry tree.
Uh, we will?
Elephant's Honor.
[nervous] 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! ♪
Okay. We've got to cross this lake
to get to Twinkleberry Forest.
[gasps] Ooh, you know what that means.
We should give up and go home?
Nope. We can skate across.
Whee!
Ha-ha! Whoa! Oh!
I'm doing it.
Watch this! Birdie twirl. [giggles]
[Horton] Uh-oh. The ice is cracking!
-[Samson yelps]
-Go back!
Argh! We can't go back.
-Oh no.
-Uh-oh.
We're doomed.
Maybe I can fly to get help.
[puffs]
[yelps, groans]
Nope, still can't fly.
Hmm. We've drifted pretty far from land.
[Samson groans]
You're right, Horton. We're stuck.
[wails] We live on an ice cube now.
Oh, we'll have to eat water for breakfast.
And lunch. And dinner.
[Samson sniffles]
Hello there!
The neighbors are friendly.
They do seem friendly.
Maybe they can help.
Hello!
Merry Twinkleberry morning to you.
Thanks. Could you give us a push, please?
We need to get across the lake.
We'll do better than a push.
We'll take you all the way.
Just hold on tight now.
[giggles] Thank you! Holding tight!
Off we go!
[Horton whoops]
This is great!
-[Samson yelps]
-[Horton giggles]
[bleats]
[wails] Help!
[Horton] Gotcha.
[Samson gasps]
I'm a bird-sicle.
-Oh! Thanks, pal.
-You got it.
Okay, get ready to jump.
Jump? What? This bird does not jump!
-[Samson whimpers]
-[Horton] Whoa!
[Samson yelps]
[Samson wails]
-Woo-hoo!
-Oh, we made it.
Hey. Thanks for riding the Walrus Express.
Thanks for letting us use your mustaches.
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
All righty now. Bye!
Now let's get that tree, Samson.
We've got a festival to save.

-[bell ringing]
-[Samson giggling]
[laughs] I love this thing.
Ah.
So where's Twinkleberry Forest anyway?
Just over this hill. We're getting close.
Yeah, close to the trees and the yeti.
Argh! Yeti! Oh, wait, that's my shadow.
Yeti! Oh, wait, that's your shadow.
Yeti! Wait. You know what?
Maybe I'll just close my eyes.
I think the yeti might be gone, Samson.
We haven't seen a single yeti footprint.
True.
Yep, just sparkly snow, sunny skies,
and that big, furry creature
looking down at us.
Wait, yeti?!
Well, at least the yeti is gone.
Sure, but those giant snowballs
are rolling right at us!
Run!
-Argh!
-Whoa-oa!
Argh! Behind you, Horton!
[Samson grunts]
Incoming!
-Take that! And that! Argh!
-[bell ringing]
Uh, Horton, help!
-[Horton grunts]
-Argh!
-Gotcha.
-Thanks, buddy.
-[sighs] I hope that's all of them.
-Um…
There might be one more.
[gasps] Yikes!
[Samson] It's rolling so fast!
Then we gotta roll too.
Here we go!
Oh, we're rolling!
Woo-hoo!
Hey! I'm getting the hang of this.
Ah, Horton, tree!
How do you steer this thing?
You don't!
Jump! [grunts]
-Woo-hoo! We did it!
-See ya, snowballs. Hup!
Ah, I am loving this jingle bell.
I don't see the yeti.
Now's our chance. Come on!
-Wow!
-Whoa!
Look at all those Twinkleberry trees.
[Horton] Uh-oh. I see the yeti.
How do we get to the trees
without them seeing us?
We can't, Horton. There's no way!
Which means no festival,
no singing, no hot cocoa! [cries]
You can still drink hot cocoa.
It's not the same!
You're right. We can't give up.
Maybe there's something in the backpack
that can help.
Traffic cones.
Rubber ducky.
Candy canes?
Hmm. Maybe we could use these somehow.
Pfft! What are we gonna do?
Ski over the yeti's head on candy canes?
Great idea, Samson!
Wait, what?! I was kidding, Horton.
That'll never work!
-Ready?
-Nope.
Now I'm ready.
Here we go!
-Oh no, oh no, oh no!
-The candy cane skis are working!
Of course they are. I'm a genius!
-Yahoo!
-Whee-hee-hee!
[gasps] Cliff up ahead!
Get ready to fly.
Wahoo!
[Samson] I wasn't ready!
Ha-ha! We're doing it.
We're skiing right over the yeti!
Huh. Argh! And right towards those trees!
We're gonna crash!
No, we're not! I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
Hang on tight!
Whoa!
[Horton grunts, then giggles]
[Samson wails]
Coming in for a landing!
-Made it!
-Woo-hoo!
It's a Twinkleberry miracle!
Huh.
[both] The perfect Twinkleberry tree.
[loud stomping]
The yeti!
If we don't move, they won't see us.
-[yeti] Hey, you!
-Never mind.
[yeti] Hmm.
Do you
like cookies?
Cookies?
Um, aren't you angry?
Angry?
Didn't you stomp your feet
to make those snowballs chase us away?
Oh!
No. I stomp when I'm excited.
I don't get too many visitors up here.
I'm Betty.
Hi, Betty. I'm Horton.
I'm Samson. And I do like cookies.
[grunts] Whoa!
We're sorry, Betty.
We shouldn't have thought you were scary
because you're big and stompy.
Want to come
to our Twinkleberry tree festival?
Me? Really?
Oh, yes, please!
We gotta hurry. If we don't get the tree
home fast, there won't be a festival.
Oh! I know a way to go fast.
Hang on to your cookies!
Whee! [laughs]
-[Horton] Woo-hoo!
-[Samson yelps]
-[Horton] We're here!
-[Betty grunts]
-A tree!
-Wow!
Wow, you got the tree!
Everybody, this is Betty.
She helped us get our Twinkleberry tree.
Hello.
Ahem. Great news, everyone. The…
…festival is saved!
[laughs] Yeah, that.
-Hooray!
-Thank you, Betty!
-Isn't it wonderful?
-Wow, what a tree!
Hooray!
Cocoa?
Don't mind if I do.
Up you go.
Horton, Samson,
thank you for saving the festival.
And Betty too.
Oh, you're welcome.
[Samson grunting]
[sighs] A little help here?
I'm just one small bird
with a lot of Twinkleberry spirit.
Hey, Betty, could you help us
with one more thing?
I'd love to.
[twinkly music playing]
-Ooh!
-Wow!
-Ooh!
-It's divine!
"Runaway Stuffie."
Woo-hoo!
Last one in the water
is a rotten Beezlenut!
-Okay!
-On our way!
Whoa. Wh-whoa! Whoa!
Ugh. [sighs]
-And we're here.
-[Horton giggles]
Mr. Fluffles is gonna watch.
There you go.
Okay! Have fun, Mr. Fluffles!
Ready!
One, two, three!
Yahoo!
Yay!
Tag, you're it!
Hey!
Huh? What's this stuffie doing here?
Eh, finders keepers.
Look, Lindy Laroo, Mama got you a present.
Mm, mm, mm!
-Hi, Jane. Wanna swim with us?
-[Jane scoffs]
No. Lindy and I are having a tea party,
and you're not invited.
Bad for you, goody goody for me.
[laughs]
Whew. All that playing made me hungry.
Whoa! Whoa-oa-oa!
Not again!
I got you, Samson.
Mr. Fluffles, time for a snack.
Mr. Fluffles, where you go?
Uh-oh. I don't see him anywhere.
But I need him. He's my best friend.
Did you hear that, Horton?
This panda lost her best friend.
Her buddy, her squad,
her special someone.
I gotta find him.
-Willow, I hear you, and I can help.
-You can?
Uh-huh. We'll help you find Mr. Fluffles.
-Elephant's Honor.
-And Bird's Word.

[sighs] No Mr. Fluffles.
But he's just gotta be here.
Yeah, it's not like
he could just walk away,
leaving a trail of fluffily feathers.
[gasps] Could he?
[gasps] Feathers!
If we follow them,
maybe we'll find Mr. Fluffles.
Come on!
This way, Lindy.
Mama's gonna find you some berries.
[grunting]
Argh! Why are these lily pads sinking?!
Whoa! Ugh.
Look, a feather! But I don't see any more.
[gasps] I do. Over there!
Mr. Fluffles crossed the river?
If he can do it, maybe I can too.
[puffs]
Argh!
Nope, still can't fly.
-[Willow giggles]
-We gotta get over there.
Ooh! I got an idea!
Why do I have a feeling
I'm not gonna like this?
This is why.
Aw, it'll be fun, Samson. Ready to zip?
-Ready!
-Not really!
-[Willow] Woo-hoo!
-[Samson wails]
I can't look. Ugh!
Oh, that's better. Thank you, Leaf!
Wahoo!
[Willow] Go, go, go!
[skunk toots]
-Ha! We did it!
-We're alive!
Yay, Horton!
Now we just gotta find… [gasps]
More feathers! That way!
More swizzleberries for me, me, and me.
-[chipmunk squeaks]
-Hey! Give it to me!
Jane, you're taking all the berries!
And Cindy has none!
Mind your own swizzleberries!
What's a little chipmunk gonna do?
Take it from me?
Ha-ha!
I'd like to see that.
What? Hey!
[Jane yelps]
-[Cindy grunts]
-[Jane wails]
[Jane grunts]
[groans]
Get this thing off of me!
[Jane groans]
[Cindy squeaks happily]
-Hi, Cindy! Bye, Cindy!
-[Cindy squeaks]
There's gotta be a feather
around here somewhere. [gasps]
Look, I see one!
Yay!
We're never gonna get over this canyon!
[echo] Canyon! Canyon!
We'd need a rocket ship or an airplane or…
A very strong chipmunk.
A very strong chipmunk?
But how's that gonna…
Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Cindy. Any chance
you could juggle… us?
Wh… No, Horton. I'm not…
That's not…
Friends don't let friends juggle friends!
-Wahoo!
-Whee!
[Cindy squeaks]
[Horton] Thanks, Cindy!
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
Now toss us that way, please.
[Samson] He's kidding. You don't have to…
-Argh!
-[Horton] Yeah!
[Samson wails]
[Samson giggles]
I'm flying!
[Horton, Willow] Woo-hoo!
Huh!
Oof! [giggles]
[grunts] I'm okay.
It's over!
-Hooray!
-All right!
And look, there's the feather!
We gotta be close to finding Mr. Fluffles.

Mr. Fluffles, where are you?
Oh, wait. It's Lindy Laroo?
But how did she get here?
She's always with Jane.
Look, feathers!
Mr. Fluffles must be in Jane's pouch!
-Jane!
-Jane!
Huh? Those Beezlenut brains
really want to come to my tea party.
Well, they'll have to catch me first.
Jane, wait! We have Lindy Laroo!
[gasps] What? My baby?
Gimme!
Oh, my sweet little Lindy.
Mwah, mwah, mwah!
Are you okay?
Mommy loves you so much.
But Jane, you have…
Did you push Lindy out of my pouch?
Bad stuffie. You need a time-out.
-[Horton, Samson] No!
-[Willow] Mr. Fluffles!
[bleats]
[squawks]
[Horton gasps]
Jane! That's Willow's stuffie!
That was your stuffie?
Oh. Sorry.
Here, have a pine cone.
They're cuddly too.
See?
Ow!
Anyway, I'm gonna get back
to my tea party. [yelps]
-[thud]
-[Jane] I meant to do that!
Mr. Fluffles.
We'll never get up there, Horton.
Mr. Fluffles is gone!
Gone! [sobs]
Willow, I will be your stuffie stand-in.
[breathes deeply]
Bring it in.
Thank you, Samson.
-Mm!
-[Samson grunts]
Maybe just lighten up a little
around the tummy.
It's not the same. I miss Mr. Fluffles.
Willow, we're not giving up.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
We're gonna get Mr. Fluffles back.
Maybe something in the backpack can help.
Socks.
Flashlight.
[giggles] And two giant gummy worms?
Well, you can't pack one gummy worm.
What if it gets lonely?
Wow, they're super stretchy.
Maybe we could use them somehow.
Pssh! What are we gonna do?
Use gummy worms to climb the cliff?
Um… Basically, yes.
What? I was kidding, Horton.
That'll never work.
[Horton] The gummy worms are working!
-[Willow giggles]
-[Horton] Woo-hoo!
[Samson] Of course they are. I'm a genius.
[Horton, Willow giggling]
Hold on, Mr. Fluffles.
[Horton] We're almost there.
-[Horton grunts]
-[Willow] Whee!
[all] Whoa! Argh!
Uh, Horton, the worm won't hold!
We're doomed.
No, we're not.
I just need another gummy worm.
Oh, yeah. You can never have
too many gummy worms.
Got it!
Now just one more swing!
-Woo-hoo!
-Argh!
-Yay!
-We made it!
Mr. Fluffles, I missed you!
Thank you, Horton. Thank you, Samson.
Aw, you're welcome, Willow.
[Willow giggling]
She got her best friend back, Horton.
Her bestie, her pal, her BFF.
Makes me want to hug something I love too.
Ooh!
[munches] Mm!
Cuddly and delicious.
[giggling]
