Who's that comin'

From somewhere up in the sky?

Movin' fast and bright as a firefly

Just when you think that trouble's gonna pounce

Who's gonna be there when it really counts?

Do the Care Bears Countdown

Five, four, three, two, one.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

Hi, I'm Hugs.

And I'm Tugs.

Have you ever had nothing to do?

Yeah, like when you're stuck inside the house on a rainy day?

Well, we found out that there's a

little beast that causes this.

His name is the Beast of Boredom

and he came to visit us one day.

Aha! Care-a-Lot,

a veritable hive of activity.

But I'll soon change that because...

I'm the Beast of Boredom

Please don't ask me why

I love to bore and my reward's

An apathetic ...

When you eat my dust, you'll see

I really am a bore

And before you know it if I don't blow it

A yawn becomes a snore

My boredom is contagious

You might even fall asleep

Oh, I'm the Beast of Boredom

That's a name I'd like to keep.

Uh-oh.

Wow, Hugs, look at the rain.

Yeah! It makes neat patterns, huh?

Yeah. And look at those great puddles.

Oooh!

This looks promising.

So do you want to go outside?

Sure. Or we could play that game--

Or maybe--

What's the matter, Hugs?

It's raining and there's nothing to do.

Yeah. We're bored.

Bored? Why, there's plenty of things you can do.

Like what?

Uh-oh.

Well, you can take this piece of paper,

fold here, here and here,

and voila!

Ooh!

You've got a paper airplane.

Now you try.

Hmm.

Wait, I've got an idea.

Let's check our magic board.

A paper airplane is really quite easy to make.

You kids at home can make them too.

All you have to know is where to make the proper folds.

Here we go.

First get a piece of paper about 12 inches square,

then fold it along the middle like this.

Then make a fold here,

and another,

and one more.

Then do the same to the other side.

And there you have it-- your very own airplane.

Both: Yay!

Wheeee!

Hey, what's going on?

You're all supposed to be bored.

Eeee! Yikes!

Hey, watch where you're going.

Hey!

Oh!

What's that, Tenderheart?

Oh, nothing of any interest.

Just some boring old art supplies.

Wow, let's see!

Both: Potatoes?

Yup, potatoes.

How do you get art from a potato?

Hey, you're not trying to trick us

into peeling potatoes, are you?

Nope, we're going to make potato prints.

All we need is potatoes, poster paint,

and some paper.

Are you kids ready at home?

Okay. First take the potato

and get an adult to cut it in half for you.

Then draw on the pattern you want to print

and have an adult help you cut away the excess potato.

Then put some paint on the potato

and start printing.

Hey, Hugs.

Look!

That's good, Hugs.

Tugs, be careful.

Oops.

Oh, no! Now it's ruined.

No, it's not. Want to see how to make paint spiders?

Just take a straw and blow on the paint.

Ooh, wow.

Let's show Tender Heart.

What's going on here?

You should all be bored out of your skulls!

Ah, nobody ever listens to me anymore.

Whoa! Oh yee yee ahhh!

Whoo aah aaah!

Hmm, not bad.

Not bad if I do say so myself.

Yaaah!

Whoo hoo hooo!

Hey, Hugs and Tugs, how do you like my phone?

That's a phone?

Uh-huh. You can make your own phone easily.

Here, I'll show you.

All you need are two tin cans

or plastic cups or paper cups

and a long piece of string.

Ask an adult to punch a small hole in the ends of the can,

and then you tie the string in between them.

Then when you talk into one can,

the sound travels along the string

and can be heard from the other can.

Both: Wow!

Hugs, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Hey! This thing really works. What?

I said this thing really works!

What?

This thing really works!

Hey, what's all the noise?

Huh? Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Yikes!

Operator, Operator? We've been cut off.

Both: Yay! Cartoons!

Announcer: Hey, boys and girls, it's "The Pat and Mikey Show"!

Cartoons, huh?

I can put a stop to that.

Both: Huh?

The cartoon's gone!

That's okay. Why don't you draw your own cartoon?

Both: How?

Simple. First we'll get a pad of paper,

a pencil, and then we'll draw a Care Bear.

See? It's easy.

Now you try.

Hugs: Hey, Tugs, look.

Oh, yeah?

Okay, now we'll make him move.

Move? Uh-huh.

All we have to do is keep drawing him

in a slightly different pose than the last.

Here, I'll show you.

Oh.

Then we flip the drawings to see him move.

Let me see, let me see.

Uh-oh.

Quick, everybody, grab some pots and pans.

Hey, what's all the commotion?

Phew.

Huh?

I've got an idea.

To the magic board!

Let's make some musical instruments.

For a flute, get a plastic straw,

flatten one end, and using safety scissors,

cut off the corners.

Goody, goody, gosh.

This is fun.

For a kazoo, get a paper tube,

cover one end with wax paper,

hold it there with a rubber band,

and use a pencil to poke a small hole here in the tube.

Next get some bottles

and fill them to different heights with water.

And use spoons or rulers for drumsticks.

Now we have a whole band.

You kids at home join us too.

Stop it, stop it! You're supposed to be bored.

Stop it!

Huh?

What?

Huh? Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Announcer: "The Care Bears" will be right back.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

Hey, Tugs, wake up. It's the morning!

Come on, Tugs, let's go have breakfast.

Oh.

I'm not feeling very well.

Ew! You're all yucky.

I'd better get Grams.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Did you make him all better, Grams?

No, he's got quite a temperature.

He'll have to stay in bed today.

Bed? But then who's supposed to play with me?

I'm afraid you'll just have to play

by yourself today, little one.

Oh, great. Now what do I do?

There's nobody to play with.

Voice: Why don't you play with me?

Hey! Who said that?

I did. Down here.

Hi. Hey!

Wait a minute. You're just my shadow.

Yeah, so?

So shadows can't talk.

Wanna play with me anyway?

How am I supposed to play with you?

You can't even do anything.

I can do lots of stuff.

Besides, I got great ideas.

Yeah? Like what?

Well, take me over to the sandbox and I'll show you what.

Okay. Right behind you.

Ah. Well, what is it? What's what?

Your great idea!

Uh, I guess I forgot it.

Terrific.

I think it was to build something.

Like what? A house?

Yeah, that was it-- a house!

But what kind of house? Aw, you know.

Was it big? Yeah!

Real big. And, uh...

guess what else it had?

Um, windows? Mm-hmm.

And a really big fireplace? And a driveway?

Yeah, that's it. That's the one.

Wow! That is a great idea.

Hey!

Gosh, I can hardly wait.

It looks really great.

Yeah.

Hey, you want to go to Africa?

Kind of far, isn't it?

It's just over there in that jungle.

Hugs: Oh, yeah!

Sure is dark in here.

Yeah.

Do you think there's any lions?

Oh, they're probably all over the place.

I think I see one!

Quick, into the water!

Yeaoow! Yeaowww!

Oh, no, crocodile.

Climb onto this rock.

Thanks for saving my life.

Oh. How are we going to get out of here?

Let's fly away.

Okay, we'll change into birds.

[ both squawking like birds ]

Wheee!

This is fun!

We're really up high.

I know-- let's pretend I'm a baby bird

and you can be an eagle who's after me.

I want to be the baby bird.

Okay, then I'll be the eagle.

Here I come! Ah!

Caw! Wheee!

Now let's pretend I fly into this cave

and you can't get in 'cause you're so huge.

Nah, I'm just a little eagle--

a cute little baby one.

Uh, okay. And I'll be your friend.

Yeah. We're both baby eagles

and this is our house.

Grams: Hugs! It's Grams.

Let's scare her. Yeah!

Hugs, dear, where are you? Boo!

Oh! Were you scared, Grams?

Oh, goodness, yes.

Now come in the house, dear. It's time for your lunch.

Lunch? Oh, goody!

We're really hungry.

Mmm!

Us eagles love soup, right?

Yeah-- worm soup.

Worms? Yuck!

I don't want to be an eagle.

Okay, then popcorn soup.

Yeah-- popcorn.

That's funny.

Are you bringing some soup to Tugs, Grams?

Mm-hmm. Tugs is sick.

He's got a temperature.

I remember I was sick once.

I had a temperature of a million.

Really? Yeah.

They had to call the fire department.

Is he all better yet, Grams?

Yes, a little, but he still needs to rest.

Grams, can I have something else, please?

I'm still hungry.

Well, let me see.

Would you like to make a banana shake?

Yeah! What's that?

You'll see. Watch.

First you unzip the banana...

Mmm! Shadows love bananas.

...put half of it in the bowl,

then some yogurt.

Then you smash it all up.

You sure you know what you're doing?

Yep. Then you put it all in a jar,

add a bit of milk,

then put the lid on really tight so it won't leak out.

Then what? Then shake it!

Is it ready now?

Nope.

Boy, you sure have to shake it a lot.

That's so it gets all mixed up.

Ah, now it's ready.

Try it.

Mmm! Really good.

Ahh!

Come on, let's go out back again.

Yeah!

Oh, no! It's raining.

Grams: You'd best play in the house, dear.

Why don't you draw?

Yeah! That's a good idea.

What's it gonna be?

A dinosaur!

Shadow: Oh! Scary.

This one's nice.

He just eats grass, not people.

See? This is me riding him.

What about me?

Okay, I'll put you on too.

Hey!

What are these things?

Candies?

No, those are my paints.

Want me to show you how they work?

Okay.

First you get some water,

then some paint,

and then put it on the drawing.

See? The paint doesn't even stick to the crayons.

Wow. Pretty good trick, huh?

Yeah. Know any more?

Um... oh, yeah!

See? A puppet on my hand.

Hello, my name is Frank.

Do it to me.

Hello. What's your name?

How come you're all gray and don't have any eyes?

That's 'cause I'm a shadow, of course.

Oh, well, I've got eyes, you know?

Really pretty ones.

What do you do when you want to get him off your hand?

I'll show you.

See? You just wash it off.

There he goes!

Shadow: See you later, Frankie!

Hey!

We could make some baker's clay.

What's that?

Do you remember how we make it?

Yep. First we put in the flour and salt.

That's right.

Two cups, or 500 milliliters of flour,

and just half a cup or 125 milliliters of salt.

Then comes the water.

Three quarters of a cup, or 200 milliliters.

And what color would you like this time?

Say green.

Green, please.

Food color!

Yes. Just a few drops.

And now we mix it.

You have to mix it really a lot.

I was afraid of that.

Okay, it's ready.

Yeuch!

This stuff tastes terrible.

You're not supposed to eat it.

It's for making stuff.

See? I'm making people.

Okay, I'll make a "people" too.

Do you like my beautiful jewelry?

Look! Monster hands.

You can make lots of stuff.

Yeah.

Grams: Hugs, I want you to know I'm very proud of you.

You managed to play just by yourself all day today

without any complaining.

It was easy. I just played with my shadow.

Your shadow?

You'll never be bored with an imagination like that.

Played with her shadow!

Don't forget the ones in the back.

Hi, Tugs, are you all better now?

Yup, nearly.

What did you do today?

Oh, just playing.

Oh.

Good night.

See ya later!

Tugs: Who was that?

Hugs: Oh, just my shadow.

Tugs: Oh!

Good night, Hugs. Good night, Tugs.

Tugs: Good night.
