Here we go again. The new kid in school.
Ah, come on, Mickey, you got this.
You're a cool cat.
The coolest and the cattiest cat ever.
Class, I want you to meet Mickey!
It's his first day, so everyone,
let's make him feel welcome.
Remember your first day, Benny?
Ugh! I'm still trying to forget it.
[children laughing]
[Ben] Or was that just a bad dream?
Nope! It was disturbingly real.
-Earth to Ben!
-[Ben] Mmm?
I said you'd be happy to show Mickey
around, right?
Oh, oh, sure.
[children talking]
Okay, this is where I show you the ropes.
The basic rules are, the more tricks
you do, the more points you rack up.
[gasps]
I guess I showed him the ropes.
Okay, class, everyone form
into your groups.
We're going to do our presentations now.
[all talking excitedly]
[sighs]
Hey, Mickey, you can be
in our group if you want.
[laughs] Cool. Thanks, man.
[Ms. Hernandez] And to present another
great moment in science,
we have Ben, Angie and Mickey.
[Angie grunts and sighs]
Mmm Once upon a time,
there was a scientist called Isaac Newton,
and he was sitting under an apple tree
[groans] when all of a sudden
[groans]
[laughing]
I discovered something super awesome.
Oh! [sighs]
And what did you discover, Mr. Newton?
Uh, oh
Uh
[whispering] Gravity! He discovered
Oh! Ah, ah!
Uh
Mmm, an apple a day
keeps the doctor away?
[laughing]
[grunts] Whoa!
[Mickey thuds] Oh!
And what else, Mickey?
Uh Hmm. Uh, uh
Hmm, oranges?
[children laughing]
Mickey, what did Newton discover
when the apple fell on his head?
Uh, um
[both whispering] Gravity.
Um

I've been trying for my whole life.
[chuckles] I was just being myself.
-[Ben] Oh!
-Hey, Mickey,
that was literally the best dance ever.
-Do it again!
-[all cheering]
It was quite exhilarating.
Demonstrate it once more, please?
[Mickey laughs]
[children talking]
Wow, how'd he get so popular so fast?
If I knew that, I'd be doing it, too.
He's so cool.
We're never gonna be friends now.
Yeah? Well, that's his loss.
And who says you're not cool?
Ange, I can't even do that dance.
But you could!
All you need is a dance teacher.
And where are we gonna find one of those?

Well, all the kids at school
can do Mickey's dance, except me.
[laughs] You want to learn? Cool-a-roonie!
Let's get funky with the Monkey!
First, get your arms swinging!
Yeah! [laughs]
[grunts]
Then, bop your head up and down like this.
[laughs] Yeah!
Uh, ah, whoa!

Now, get your hips into it!
Uh Cramp! Bad cramp!
Then, finish with the funkadelic footwork!

Ah!

Okay, we need to get creative to the

Be yourself!
But how?
Well, for me, who I am, it's in my name.
[beeps]
[beeps] Dancing Machine.
But Ben's just a name, not who I am.
Then you got to figure that out, bro.
I'm doing the Monkey dance. Look!
It's crazy. It's sweeping the whole town.
[laughs] Come dance with us, Benny!
Oh, man! Not my own family.
Meow!
-How can I be myself, Harmony?
-[purring] Meow!
What's my dance style?
Meow!
Thanks, but drawings aren't gonna help.
Meow!
Harmony, drawings can't make me
Wait! Drawings can make me dance.
Thanks, Harmony!
Hey, you guys seen Ben and Angie?

-Please do the dance, Mickey!
Again? [scoffs] I'm kind of over it.
Stop messing with us!
Do the dance!
I will literally get mad.
Okay

And I just like being with people
who like doing their own dance,
like being themselves.
[humming and dancing]
Hey, yo, Ben! Can you draw me a new dance?
"Mickey's Monkey" is so yesterday.
I don't know.
Dancing's not really my thing.
