[frogs croaking]

[sighs] Huh?

[mooing]

[gasps]

Hop Pop, great idea!

What if we trained the cowapillars to eat these weeds?

Then we wouldn't have t-- Hup bup bup.

Suggestion barrel's over there.

Suggestion 89...

Hey, think he actually reads these?

Doubt it. I suggested a swimming pool months ago

and that never happened.

Oh, come on, guys.

Have a little more faith in Hop Pop.

[grunts] Oop... [laughs] Hand's stuck.

[groans] What the...

Huh? A fire pit? That's the opposite of a swimming pool.

Why, Hop Pop? Why?

Because your suggestions were ridiculous.

You can't just dig swimming pools anywhere. It attracts pests.

Running a farm ain't easy, kids.

Maybe. But if I were in charge,

I'd listen to other people's suggestions,

not burn them.

You? Run the farm? Ha! Run it into the ground, maybe.

Oh! Whoa!

[gasps] Is that an official challenge?

[panting]

[warbles]

Sprig Plantar, you have rung the Plantar Family Challenge bell!

What is your challenge?

I want to replace Hop Pop

and run the farm my way.

Hop Pop? I do formally accept this challenge.

I'm sure this will make sense in a moment.

Nevermind. What the heck's going on?

The Plantar Family Challenge.

An artful test of skill where the winner takes all!

They push each other until someone falls off a lily pad. It's dumb, but fun to watch.

Has Sprig ever won?

I've won in spirit.

-So, no. -Enough chit chat.

Let the challenge begin!

[both yell]

[both grunting]

[gasps]

[laughs] Give it up, boy.

I've got the experience and the upper body strength.

Oh, yeah? Well, I've got the moral high ground!

What? [yells]

[both gasp] Sprig won?

I won?

Nice work, dude.

I don't believe it.

I'm head of the farm!

-[Sprig, Polly and Anne cheering] -Huh?

[all chanting] Sprig's head of the farm!

Looks like my time is over.

Sprig! Sprig! Sprig!

All right, all right, that's enough.

Okay, maybe a few more.

Sprig! Sprig! Sprig!

Love it! First order of business.

As long as I'm in charge, no suggestions are bad.

Swimming pools?

-You betcha. -Dance parties?

Let's have one right now, baby.

[music playing]

Hmm.

[cheering]

[beeping]

-Back it up, girl. There you go. -[giggling]

[gasps]

[mooing]

[carnival music playing]

[laughing]

[screams]

Hey! Hey, clown!

-Whoa, whoa! Polly! -Whoa! We paid him for this.

[music playing]

Soak it in, gang. This is what good leadership looks like.

Uh, anybody worried about Hop Pop?

I haven't seen him since we got back.

Eh, he's probably off licking his wounds.

[sighs] Might as well get comfortable here

with all the other frogs nobody needs anymore.

Need some help little fella?

There you go.

Where was I? Oh, right... Crippling sadness.

[scuttering] Hmm?

[chuckles] Hey, you're more loyal than my own family.

I'm gonna call you Jeremy.

Incoming!

Whoa!

[laughs]

[rumbling]

Is anyone else, like, starving?

Dinner. Great suggestion.

Huh. No food in here either.

Guess today's the day Hop Pop goes to the grocery store.

What are we gonna do? I am getting hangry! [grunts]

[gasps]

Fresh from mother nature's garden of delights. Dig in, everyone.

[snarling] [screaming]

Whoops, didn't check for pests.

I'm beginning to think there's a few things we don't know

about running a farm.

We've got some kinks to work out, sure.

But isn't it better to live in a place where you're listened to?

I guess so. Yeah, it is.

[screaming]

[Sprig] Don't let him touch me! Don't let him touch me!

[all screaming]

[snoring]

[Anne] Sprig, we have a situation!

[gasps] Situation?

[all gasp]

[mooing]

I've called this meeting today for obvious reasons.

-The farm is ruined. -We have no food and we'll die!

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Luckily for us,

we have the power of great suggestions

and management that listens.

So have at it, guys. What should we do?

Remember, there are no bad suggestions.

[both] Let's find Hop Pop and put him back in charge.

Hopadiah Plantar was a tyrant!

A tyrant who knew how to run a farm.

And more importantly, cook.

I will not go back to that life.

Don't you like being listened to?

I don't exactly feel listened to right now.

Ditto. You're kinda freakin' me out, bro.

[growling]

[exhales] Let's take 15 minutes and start this meeting over.

And next time, bring a good suggestion.

You thinking what I'm thinking? Oh, yeah.

Jeremy, I can't thank you enough for letting me into your community.

I feel like I'm really part of something now.

There he is! Hop Pop!

Dude, we've been looking all over for you.

Hello, girls. You here to help us scavenge?

It's gonna be a long, cold winter.

More bodies means more warmth for everyone.

Uh, no. Sprig is ruining the farm. You've gotta come back.

We've been eating nothing but raw potatoes.

I'm having digestive strife, Hop Pop. Digestive strife!

Give me a minute, boys.

[sighs] I've grown since the last time you saw me.

How long's it been now?

A day and a half.

I've got me a new life among the beetles.

They've taught me about community, equality, listening...

Sprig sleeps in your bed now. He what?

[mooing]

[explosion]

Now where did those ungrateful kids

get off to?

Huh? [screams]

I have returned.

I don't believe it. Backstabbers! Conspirators!

Sorry, dude. We had a good run, big ambitions...

But we didn't know what we were doing.

We had a beautiful dream,

but I guess I'm the only one willing to fight for it.

Sprig Plantar, I challenge you to a rematch.

Winner gets control of the farm... forever!

Sprig, do you accept this challenge?

Please say yes.

I accept.

Hmm.

I beat you once, I can do it again. I'll prove my way is right.

-We'll see. -[grunts]

Let the final challenge begin!

[both screaming]

The girls told me everything, Sprig.

What? [yells]

You're destroying the farm.

Don't you see? Even if you win, you lose.

-[grunts] -Ow.

So I'm just supposed to go back

to the way things were? You never listened to us.

And I was wrong.

I know now that you can't work together

unless everyone has a say.

Jeremy taught me that.

[both grunt]

You... You mean it?

I have to admit, most of my ideas were pretty terrible.

I think we even caused permanent damage to the ecosystem.

Yeah, but some of your ideas could work.

We'll never know unless we try.

I promise from now on to actually read your suggestions.

[all gasp]

Promise?

Promise.

[exhales]

And the winner is Hop Pop!

[sighs]

[grunting]

Phew. Think we could set up some shade out here, Hop Pop?

[both] Huh?

Great suggestion, Anne.

Thanks, Hop Pop.

And over there,

I kept a small version of your swimming hole.

[laughing]

Oh, and best of all, no more pit of fire.

Thanks, Hop Pop.

Thank you, Jeremy.

Hmm.

Nope.

Hmm. Nope.

Hmm. This one's a maybe.
