[Ben] I don't think there's any sport
my friend Mickey isn't good at.
Soccer
rock climbing
[chuckles] even underwater hockey.
But the sport Mickey
loves the most is basketball.
Go, Mickey!
Whoo-hoo! Yeah, go!
-Yeah, Mickey! Whoo!
-Yay! Whoo!
[chuckles] Hey, there's my boy!
Hello, Dad.
You hear the big news?
The scout for the Motown Meerkats
is running tryouts here this weekend.
Yeah, that's cool.
Anyway, once you're a Meerkat,
you're always a Meerkat.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, Mickey. See you at home.
Cool? The Meerkats
are the best team in Motown.
Mickey, this is bigger, huge
I mean, it's massive.
Nah, it's no biggie.
[sighs] Are you for real?
The Motown Meerkats are seriously famous.
Yeah. I'm getting nervous for you.
Guys, you don't have to be so uptight.
[scoffs] I'm not uptight.
I'm super relaxed.
Ow!
Uh, well, kind of.
Trust me, everything's
gonna be all right, okay?
Baby, everything is all right ♪
Uptight, out of sight ♪
Baby, everything is all right ♪
Uptight, out of sight ♪
Are you going to train day and night?
I heard the Meerkats
even train in their sleep.
Really?
I heard the Meerkats' coach makes
everyone cry, even the tough kids.
[scoffs] Come on, those are just rumors.
Quit being so uptight.
Loosen up.
Baby, everything is all right ♪
Uptight, out of sight ♪
[sighs]
Man, I wish I could be as cool as you
about something so important.
I'd be terrified Or, petrified.
-Don't forget about spookified.
-[grunts]
Uptight Oh!
[sighs]
[knocking at door]
Hey, how's Mickey, the future Meerkat?
Uh, yeah, uh, good, Dad.
[chuckles] I think you mean great.
When I was a Meerkat,
the coach would always say,
"There are no good Meerkats,
only great ones." [laughs]
[chuckles] Sounds, uh, fun.
I don't say it enough,
but I'm so proud of you, son.
This will change things
for the rest of your life.
Anyway, forget all that
and have a great sleep. Night.
-[door closes]
-Uh Okay. Night.
For the rest of my life?
Do you really think
you've got what it takes?
Huh?
[statue 2]
What if you mess up at tryouts?
What if you disappoint your dad,
your friends and everyone you know?
Ah, go away!
Leave me alone!
[sighs]
Hey! Meerkat Mickey!
Wanna play some hockey for a change?
Uh nah.
I gotta keep practicing.
[grunts]
-Hey, Mickey, wanna come watch a game?
-[Mickey] No!
Hey! No need to be so, uh, uptight.
[sighs] Sorry, it's just
I'm missing all my shots.
I'm so bad,
I don't think I'll even go to the tryouts.
You gotta. You're the best at basketball
in, like, in the whole school.
Yeah, you're awesome.
What's there to worry about?
Everything!
Right now, I'm worried about everything!
Whoa, whoa, time out.
Playing basketball should be fun.
You've always had fun before, right?
Sure, but I'm not having any now.
Then we need to go somewhere
where you can find the fun again.
[Mickey sighs] Guys,
I don't have time for this.
ABC, easy as one, two, three.
[humming]
Hey! Whoa! Mickey, what happened?
Did you drop your smile
on the dance floor? Ha-ha!
Nah. He's just been practicing frowning
till he got it down perfect.
Actually, I have been
practicing basketball
and it's not meant to be fun,
'cause it's training.
[imitating siren]
Stop the music. If basketball isn't
any fun, then I don't know what is.
Except for maybe that feetball thing.
Football? Or soccer?
Yeah, Mickey loves those, too.
And don't forget about underwater hockey.
Oh, and rock climbing.
Oh, and balloon sword-fighting
and ballerina impersonation!
Ha-ha!
Uh are they even sports?
They abso-groovin-lutely are now!
Hey, I've got a funalicious idea.
Let's play all the sports
at the same time!
-Sweet.
-Yeah!
Sorry, that's just a waste
of training time.
Come on now, Mickey. Loosen up.
Stop being so uptight!

-Go, Mickey, whoo!
-Yeah! Go, Mickey! Go, Mickey!
[all] Yeah!
Okay, I gotta admit, I had a lot of fun.
Hey, and what's the point of playing
anything if it ain't fun, right?
I am Coach Payne,
and that name is no joke, okay?
I'm here to find a Meerkat,
not a Near-Kat!
You gotta give me 200% or nothin'!
And if you make the team,
you're gonna give me twice that,
so, um, ah, that's 300%, approximately!
And you won't have any life
outside of basketball.
Do you understand?
Uh, does that mean
we can't play any other sports?
Correcto, soldier! Representing Motown
leaves no room for doin' anything else!
[blows whistle]
Let's go! Go! Go! Go!
-Yeah, Mickey! Whoo! Whoo!
-Yeah, Mickey! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Just do your best, son.
[blows whistle]
-Yeah, Mickey! Whoo! Whoo!
-Yeah, Mickey! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
[blows whistle]
[chuckles] You were great
out there, soldier.
How'd you like to join the team?
[gasps] Really? Me?
Welcome to the Motown Meerkats.
Whoa! Way to go, Mickey Meerkat!
You did it!
Oh! That's my boy!
I am so proud of you, son!
Thanks. Um, but, uh [sighs]
Um, would you be real disappointed
if I didn't join the team?
-What?
-What?
Uh, it's just all that training sounds
like it'd take the fun out of basketball,
and if I couldn't play
the other sports I love, then, uh
Well, this is a big opportunity
to pass up, but
[sighs] You're right.
Sports should be fun.
Whatever you choose to do,
I'll be proud of you.
Thanks, Dad. Then, uh,
I have to say no, Coach. I'm sorry.
Huh. Uh, well,
that's a crying shame, soldier.
But if you change your mind, I'd love you
to try out again next year. Deal?
Deal! Ha, thanks, Coach.
[Ben] Yep, there's not a single sport
Mickey doesn't love.
Underwater hockey, rock climbing,
even balloon sword-fighting.
And he loves them all equally.
[chuckles] Well, almost.
