[announcer reading]

[whooping]

Wait till y'all see this!

I found the perfect birthday gift for Nina.

I think she's really gonna love it.

Nina's gonna have a great birthday.

Wow!

Smitt, that is an awesome seashell.

So, where'd you get it?

From that lady down at the beach.

Um, she sells sheasells by the seashore.

Huh?

She sells shnee shnells...

I mean, shnee sells shnee...

...from the lady down at the beach.

I love seashells, and things with seashells on them.

They say if you put a seashell up to your ear and listen,

you can hear the ocean.

[ocean waves crashing]

[foghorn blowing]

Wow! It's just like being there.

[chuckles] Well, I painted Nina a portrait.

Oh.

I call it...

The Nina Lisa.

Bold, expressive lines, yet understated use of light and shadow.

-What? -What?

Pretty.

Oh, guys!

Check out what I made Nina for her birthday.

I call them shaker shakers.

Nina can use them at the cafe as salt and pepper shakers.

And they're also great for keeping the beat

at karaoke sing-along nights.

[rhythmic rattling]

Smitty, Smitty, Smitty, Smitty!

Hey, Warehouse Mouse got Nina a gift, too.

Mm-hmm. I did it myself.

Oh. Well, she's gonna love it, little buddy.

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like a big, heart-shaped hunk of cheese.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Hey, uh, Scott, how about you? What did you get Nina for her birthday?

Well, it's not as cool as what you guys got.

Uh... it's just an old lamp I found at a yard sale.

But I think it'll look nice if I shine it up a bit.

Whoa!

I am Ali Babafazoolie Kazar The Great!

[coughs]

But you can call me Al.

Oh, hey, Al. Um...

uh, we are the Imagination Movers.

Great, great, Imagination whatever.

OK, which one of you rubbed the lamp?

-Oh. -[Rich] Oh, uh...

Ahem.

Oh, come on, fellas, I'm in a hurry. I got places to go, people to see.

Now who rubbed the lamp?

Uh, well, I guess I kinda maybe...

rubbed it a little bit.

OK, then.

"It is my pleasure to inform you that you are the lucky recipient

of three wishes of your choosing

to be granted by me, the genie of the lamp,

on this date in perpetuity

notwithstanding the forgoing, etc, etc, and so on."

So, what'll it be?

Huh?

What are you gonna wish for?

-Wish for? -Yeah, yeah.

I'm a genie. You rubbed my lamp. Now I grant you three wishes.

Haven't you ever heard of this before?

-Yeah. I-- I mean, I guess so. -All right, then.

Let's have it.

Wow! I mean... three wishes?

This is kind of a big deal!

-Yeah. -You got that right.

You can wish for anything.

-Anything. Right? -Anything?

Right, yes, anything.

And if you wouldn't mind choosing quickly, that'd be a big help.

I'm kind of in a hurry. I've got to get to the Genie Jamboree.

They're giving me the big Genie of the Millennium award.

[chuckles]

Um... Genie Jamboree?

It's a gathering of genies from all over the world.

Ooh.

It only happens once every thousand years.

[gasps] Which reminds me,

I really got to get a move on if I want to make it in time.

Tick-tock tick-tock. Time's a-wastin'.

So, what's your first wish?

I don't know. I mean...

-There's so many things I could wish for. -Right.

Uh-- uh-- d-d-d--Oh!

Uh, how about a huge fancy palace? That's a popular one.

-Oh! Awesome! -Get a pool!

I don't know.

Or an enormous chest full of gold and jewels.

-People love that. -That might be OK.

Might be OK? Is that a yes?

-I don't know. -Oh, come on!

I'm not getting any younger.

Actually, I'm not getting any older, either,

but that's a different story. [chuckles]

Please, hurry up and wish for something.

[mumbles] There's so many things to wish for.

-Well, what do you like? -I like sock puppets.

-Then wish for that. -Oh, I don't know.

-Oh, come on! Just pick something! -OK. OK! I wish for a new sock puppet.

Ah...

Alikazippo kaza kazi,

zappity zippity, boo whacka doo.

Make my master's wish come true.

-Oh! -[Dave] Hey, wow! Uh, uh...

Uh, that's not a sock puppet. That's a, uh, a sock bucket.

-Yeah. -Really? That's not good.

-[Scott] No. -Now let's try this again.

-[Scott] OK. -Hmm. Hmm.

Alikazippo kaza kazi,

zippity zappity, boo whacka doo.

Make this guy's wish come true!

[all exclaiming]

[Smitty] That's definitely not a sock puppet.

-No. -No, that's more of a, um, sock trumpet.

-[Smitty] Yeah. -[Dave chuckles]

No, no, no. This can't be happening.

Please tell me this isn't happening.

-Uh... this isn't happening. -Yes, it is.

Y-Y-You just told me to--

And today of all days.

Something's wrong with my wish-granting powers.

[mumbling]

Hey, hey, uh, t-that's OK.

I mean, this thing is kind of funny anyway.

-[Rich] Yeah. -Cool.

[blows horn]

-Ugh. -Well...

-It tastes like... feet. -Ew.

A wish doesn't count unless I get it right.

And I can't go anywhere until I grant your three wishes.

-Why not? -It's a genie thing.

Three wishes, then I can go.

Come on, fellas. Get with the program. [chuckles]

-[Dave] I didn't know. -Oh! Why don't you just try again?

-[all agreeing] -Oh, sure, try again.

That's easy for you to say.

Meanwhile, I might not ever be able to grant another wish,

and I'll be stuck here... forever.

OK, Al. It's gonna be OK.

I think we're gonna be able to help with this problem.

Yeah, we are actually in the problem-solving business.

-[Rich chuckles] -Really?

-Yeah, and this is no ordinary problem. -No! That's right.

What you got here is...

[all] An Idea Emergency!

[alarm blares]

We need to help Al get his wish-granting powers back.

So he can grant Scott's wishes.

And get to the Genie Jamboree.

And that means we need some good ideas.

[all] Let's brainstorm!

[all exclaim]

Right on, right on!

-Let's round up some ideas. -OK.

-And fast. -Uh... Oh! Hey, Al,

maybe if you're, you know, your genie magic isn't working,

you could use some other kind of magic to grant people's wishes.

Oh, sure, but magic doesn't just grow on trees.

Where am I gonna find magic in a place like this?

[all] The Magic Room!

Of course.

[gasps] But let's shake a leg, huh?

-All right. -Oh, yeah, sure.

Oh... Guys, I-I think he means "Let's go quickly." [chuckles]

Hey, listen, Al, walk this way.

Walk this way.

Oh. [chuckles] I forgot.

Abracadabra!

Ha.

Welcome to the... Magic Room.

Pay close attention.

Nothing is what it seems.

I will now make Smitty... disappear.

Ta-da!

Oh, smashing! Smashing!

Impressive. Can you make him reappear?

Actually, I... I'm still working on that.

[Smitty] Uh, hey, wait a second.

Don't worry, Smitty!

Um, I can figure this out... I think.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Watch me make this cheese disappear.

[Smitty] Uh, he said watch him make this cheese disappear.

Abracadabra! [chomping loudly]

[gulp]

Ta-da!

-Crude but effective. -Thanks. [chuckles]

Indubitably.

Doubly indunb-indub-- Indubitably.

-Uh, OK. OK. I've got it. I've got it now. -[Rich] All right.

This is gonna be great. This is gonna be great.

It's gonna be like a trick. OK.

Ta-da!

Oh.

It's just his hat. One second.

-[tap tap] -Ah!

Ta-da!

[Rich] Oh!

You call this magic?

Don't worry, Al, we still have a few more...

All right, all right. So can I try some of these things already?

I'm running late here, people.

Yes, absolutely. Look, I think you're ready

to try pulling something out of this magic hat.

OK, it's very simple.

All you need to do is concentrate

on something that you want to pull out of the hat, right?

And then you wave your hands over the hat...

OK, and then just reach right in and...

Presto.

-Ooh, a bunny. Wow! -Yeah.

-His name is Presto. -Oh, Presto!

-Well done. May I? -Of course.

OK. Your wish was for a sock puppet.

Well, actually, I was thinking that gold and jewels thing

might not be such a bad idea.

Sorry. Once you make a wish, you stick with it.

That's the rule.

Give me a... sock puppet!

-Aah! -Oh.

Hey, what's the big idea? [grumbling]

You're supposed to be a puppet.

Puppet?

No! Argh!

[sighs] Come on. Come on. What else do you got?

Well, you could try using this.

A magic wand?

Do I look like a fairy godmother or something?

No.

Give me a... sock puppet!

-[Dave] Oh, sheesh. -Oh...

I'm never gonna make it to the Genie Jamboree at this rate.

-Yeah, we need another idea. -Yeah.

Oh! How about a snack break?

There's no time for food.

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm in a really big hurry.

There's always time for a snack.

Oh, uh, hold on there.

Uh, I think Dave's onto something.

Sometimes people have trouble doing their jobs when they're hungry.

Maybe food is your problem.

Al, when is the last time you ate something?

Well, uh, I had a delicious kebab last night.

-Hmm. -Or maybe it was last century.

Huh. Time sort of gets away from you when you live in a lamp.

Well, that could be it.

It could be that you haven't eaten in a long time,

and that's messing up your genie powers.

Yeah, we need to get this genie some grub.

-Let's order some food from the Idea Cafe. -Yeah.

-I hope it's fast food. -And it's on speed dial.

-Oh. -[dialing]

-[door bell jingles] -Hey, guys.

[all] Nina! Happy Birthday!

-Thanks, guys. -Yes, a very Happy Birthday to you.

Now, how about that food? I got a Jamboree to get to.

Oh, Nina, sorry. Al's a little bit upset.

His genie powers are not what--

And it might be because he's really hungry.

So let's get moving on that food.

Right. Your wish is my command.

Isn't that my line?

-Yo, all right, here we go. Here we go. -Come sit over here, Al.

Thanks for doing this on your birthday.

Oh, wow! Let's see. Instant oatmeal.

Uh, minute steak.

[chuckles] This shouldn't take long at all.

Yeah, your wish-granting powers will be back in no time.

Good. Because there's no time to loose.

Ah! Oh, thank you, Nina. That was delicious.

I feel like a new genie.

-Hey! -All right. All right.

OK. I'm gonna get you that sock puppet,

and I'm gonna do it quick.

Alikazippo kaza kazi,

zippity, doo whacka doo.

Make his wish come true.

-[Rich] Well, how about that? -[all exclaiming]

[Nina] Wow!

Let me guess.

Sock... rocket?

[all chuckling]

Hey, you're getting closer.

-Yeah, nice lift. That's impressive. -Yeah.

[sighs] I don't know.

I'm sure there's plenty of things I can do besides being a genie.

I could-- I could always be a shepherd or a doctor.

My mother always wanted me to be a shepherd.

Come on, Al. You can't just give up.

Yeah, there must be something else we can try.

I don't know. I've been granting wishes for as long as I can remember,

and I've never had a problem until now.

Well, uh, are you doing anything differently?

I don't think so.

It's the same routine they taught me way back in genie school.

I'm doing things strictly by the book.

Book? That looks like a scroll or something.

-It's a scroll. -I think you're right.

"How to be a Genie, Volume One."

Yep. It's all spelled out, right here.

Oh.

"Snap, clap, spin,

say the magic words, and presto."

-Wish granted. -OK. All right.

Well, Al, why don't you go through your wish-granting routine one more time,

-and we'll check it against the scroll... -Oh.

-...to make sure you're doing it right? -Yeah.

-OK. You're the problem solver. -Yes, we are.

[clears throat] Uh...

Alikazippo kaza kazi, zippity boo whacka do.

Make my master's wish come true.

[all gasp]

Hey, a sock magnet. Cool.

Well, did you see anything?

I think you might have missed a clap somewhere in there.

Yeah, and the spin. Uh... I don't think you did the spin.

-No. -Oh! I don't think you said "zippity."

-No, no, it was "zappity." -"Zappity."

I guess you're going through your routine so fast,

uh, we couldn't tell for sure.

Yeah, you are kind of speeding through it.

I can't help it. I'm late for the Jamboree.

I know, but you really shouldn't rush through your work.

It's always better to take your time, do it right.

Maybe that's why your magic isn't working.

You know what? You may be right.

Now that I think about it,

I could have gotten the magic words wrong that first I tried to grant Scott's wish.

And I think I may have missed a clap that next time.

Maybe I have been rushing things.

Well, then you just need to slow down.

Oh, yeah.

-Way down. -Way down.

just like you showed me.

Mover Scott, please repeat your wish.

Any chance I could get one of those big, fancy palaces?

Right. Rules.

OK. I wish for a new sock puppet.

Say no more. Your wish is my command.

Nicely said.

Alikazippo kaza kazi,

boo whacka doo.

Make my master's wish come true.

Hey! He did it!

-Nice job, Al! -I'm back, baby!

[all exclaiming]

-Yes, indeed! -Whoo! Whoo!

This sock puppet is so cool.

I just wish it had a crazy mustache on. [chuckles]

Nice!

Ooh. I just used my second wish, didn't I.

Happens to the best of them.

But you still got one more.

Oh, man, I wish--

[all] No! No!

You've only got one wish left, Scott.

Yeah, so you better make it good.

Let me think about this.

W-W-Why don't you wish for a palace?

Oh! Or... gold? Gold.

No! Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!

-Uh... a pirate ship! -Ooh.

Oh, good.

You know, the only thing I really wish...

is for Nina to have a happy birthday!

-[all cheering] -What?

Can you do that?

-It's what I do. [chuckles] -Yes!

Alikazippo kaza kazi,

zippity zappity, boo whacka doo.

Make my master's wish come true.

[all cheering]

[all] Happy Birthday, Nina!

Wow! This is amazing!

You know, I don't need a palace.

-Nice wish, big guy. -[Scott chuckles]

Oh, and you know what?

We also have some presents for you. [chuckles]

-Really? -Let's go get 'em!

-We made them! -Oh, excuse me.

Oh! Oh! Nina! Nina!

-Thanks, Mouse. -[Mouse chuckles]

Oh, I was gonna give you this lamp for your birthday.

Uh, I'm afraid I'm gonna be needing this.

All of this is an even better birthday present.

-[Scott laughs] -On second thought, keep the lamp.

-I can always get another one. -Oh! OK.

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't you have to get to the Genie Jamboree?

-Oh, yeah -Right. I almost forgot all about it.

You know what?

There's no need to rush.

I've still got a few grains left.

-Oh. -[Nina chuckles]

-Let's party! -[all] Yeah!

[blowing party kazoos]

[all] Another Idea Emergency solved!

Yeah!

I love these things.
