- Big...

- Show...

- Kermit's! - No, no, no!

It says "Kermit's Big Show."

all: Oh!

- Yeah, that makes sense. - Hmm.

- Check it out, guys.

I brought my favorite picture book today.

- Ha-ha!

Look out, invisible bad guys.

It's Ninja Gonzo to the rescue!

- Ahem.

It's called "The Three Little Pigs," and--

- Have no fear, Gonzo!

Super Fabulous is here! Hiyah!

- Yeesh. - You were saying, Kermit?

- In this picture, the first pig builds its house of straw.

- Look out, invisible bad guys.

Mask-a-Roni is here! Get it?

'Cause I'm wearing a mask made of macaroni?

Ah, ah?

- Hiyah! - [grunts]

- [groans]

The second little pig built his house of sticks.

- Bring it on! Hoo-ah!

- I said, "The second little pig"--

- Karate chop factory, go! Hiyah-hiyah-yah-yah...

- I said...

- Ninja chicks, attack!

- Hiyah-hiyah-hiyah-hiyah! - [laughs loudly]

- [echoing] Will you guys be quiet already?

- Hey, what's going on, kids?

- I'm trying to show Summer and Animal my picture book,

but everyone else is playing pretend.

- That's right. I'm Mask-a-Roni!

And Piggy is Super Fabulous. [fanfare]

- Oh, why, thank you.

- And Gonzo is...

- Ninja Gonzo! [chicks cluck]

And his ninja chicks.

- Wow, characters like these would be great in a play.

- Animal love to play! Whoo-hoo!

- Not that kind of play, Animal.

A play is like a movie, except the actors act out

the story on a stage.

- Wow, you mean like this one? - Yup.

I haven't seen a good play in a long time.

- We can fix that, Miss Nanny.

We'll put on a play just for you before snack time.

- I'll help make the costumes.

- I'll tell the jokes.

- And I'll be the star, of course.

- Don't forget you also need a director.

- What's a director?

- The director makes sure all the actors know

just what to do.

You'd be a great director, Kermit.

- You always have such great ideas.

- Well, okay, then. I'll do it.

- I know the perfect play for us to do, Kermit.

"Beauty and the Baked Potato."

- Uh, I don't know that one. - Um...

- Hmm. - I was actually thinking

we could do this story, Gonzo. "The Three Little Pigs."

- I can't wait to see it when it's ready.

- We better get started if we're gonna

have our play ready by snack time.

- I'm not sure if I know this story, Kermit.

How does it go? - It's about three little pigs

and a wolf who wants to huff and puff

and blow their houses down.

- I'd make a great little pig because I'm a real ham.

Get it? Wocka wocka! [laughter]

- Okay, Fozzie, you're the first little pig.

Piggy and Gonzo, you can be the second

and third little pigs.

And Summer can be the narrator.

That's the person who reads the story out loud

for everyone to hear.

- What Animal do?

- You're the Big Bad Wolf.

You get to huff and puff and blow the houses down.

- Animal huff, Animal puff, Animal...

[splutters]

Animal work on it.

- Remember, you guys,

Miss Nanny is really looking forward

to seeing this play. It has to be amazing.

[shimmering tones] all: Wow!

- Okay, I need my little pigs. Places, everyone.

- Uh, the playroom, the tree house,

the Galapagos Islands. I could name places all day.

- No, Gonzo, "places" means

the actors are supposed to stand onstage.

- Oh! Yeah, sure okay. That makes sense, yeah.

- All right, listen up, everyone.

The famous nanny Miss Nanny is coming to see our play today,

so let's put on a great show. Any questions?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh! What's my motivation?

- You don't want the Big Bad Wolf

to blow your house down. Any other questions?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! What does "motivation" mean?

- It's the reason that you do the things that you do.

- Wow. He is a good director.

- Summer, let's start from "once upon a time."

- Okay.

"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs:

Little Pig Number One"... - Hiya.

- "Little Pig Number Two."

- Bonjour.

- "And"... - Brad.

- Brad? No! You're Little Pig Number Three.

- Well, I prefer Brad, but okay, you're the director.

- "Each little pig wanted to build a house

that would protect them from the Big Bad Wolf."

- That me.

[howls]

- Wow, that's great, Animal!

- "The first little pig decided to build

his house out of straw."

- But then I changed my mind

and built it out of noodles instead.

[pop] Yum.

- Noodles? Fozzie, the book says

the house is made of straw, so it has to be straw.

[boing]

- Aw, but I wanted to eat my yummy noodle house.

- Okay, now let's try the scene

where Pig Number Two builds her house.

- "The second little pig decided

to make her house out of sticks."

- Behold, my beautiful house made of sticks.

- Uh, I don't mean to rain on your pineapple,

but there's no way a house of sticks

will stop the Big Bad Raccoon.

Or--or was it the Big Bad Turtle?

- It's the Big Bad Wolf!

- It doesn't matter who it is because...

I'm Super Fabulous!

Hiyah-hiyah-hiyah-hiyah-- - Cut!

No, stop, stop! Wrong!

- [sighs] What's wrong, Kermie?

Was I too fabulous?

That's always moi's biggest problem.

- [sighs] Summer, are there any superheroes in this story?

- Uh, I don't see any. - Exactly.

There's no Super Fabulous

on this page or any of the pages.

- Well, it'd be a much better book if there was.

- [sighs] Please stop changing the story.

I'm the director, and it's my job to make sure

this play is done right, so just do it by the book.

- But maybe we could change--

- Just like the book! [both yelp]

Okay, let's skip ahead to when the Big Bad Wolf

tries to blow down Pig Number Three's house,

which is made of...

- Noodles?

- No! Bricks!

[groans]

Okay, Pig Number Three, take your position.

- Hi!

- The Big Bad Wolf has blown down the other two houses,

and now he's at your door.

- Ding-dong, it me.

- Oh, the Big Bad Wolf at my door?

Whatever will I do?

- Perfect. Just like the book.

- Just kidding. I know exactly what to do.

Ninja chicks...

Attack! [chicks cluck]

- That tickles! [laughing]

- Ninja chicks? What?

- Don't worry, Brad.

Super Fabulous is here to help you fight the Big Bad Wolf.

Hiyah-yah-yah-yah-yah...

- Don't forget Mask-a-Roni!

- No! Stop!

There are no Ninja chicks or superheroes

or macaroni men in the Three Little Pigs book!

Summer, tell them what happens next.

- Well, in the book, the Big Bad Wolf

huffs and puffs and tries to blow the brick house down.

- Nuh-uh. No more huff and puff.

It not nice.

- You're the Big Bad Wolf! You're not supposed to be nice!

- Animal Big Good Wolf. He hug...

- [giggles] - And he love,

and he plays with all his friends.

[all cheer]

- [groans loudly] That's it!

I quit!

If you're not gonna do it right,

I'm going back inside.

all: Uh-oh.

- [groans]

- What's wrong, Kermit?

Why aren't you practicing the play with your friends?

- They keep changing the story.

Now there's ninja chicks and superheroes and macaroni,

and the wolf is nice.

- Wow, that's a play I'd love to see.

- It is? But that's not

how the story goes in the book.

- The story can be whatever you want.

That's called being creative.

- Really? - Sure.

Where're you running off to, Kermit?

- I have to get back to the stage.

I've got a play to direct.

The show must go on!

Hey, everybody.

Why is everyone just sitting around?

- Because you quit. - Without a director,

we don't have anyone to tell us what to do.

- Please come back, Kermit.

We promise to do it just like the book.

- We're ready to do "The Three Little Pigs"

your way, Kermit.

- You know what? We don't need to do the play

exactly the way it is in the book.

Let's do it our own creative way.

Your ideas make the play better.

No, better than better. Come on, everybody!

It's showtime! [all cheer]

And that'll be the big ending. Everyone got it?

all: Got it! - Well, it looks like

the play is about to start.

- You bet, Miss Nanny. Places, everyone!

[excited chatter]

Welcome to our special presentation

of the "Three Little Pigs"!

Yay!

- Once upon a time, there were three little pigs:

Mask-a-Roni, Super Fabulous,

and Brad. - Hoo-ah!

- [giggles] "Brad."

- The first little pig couldn't wait to show the others

his brand-new house made of noodles.

- Neat-a-roni, huh?

- The second little pig built her house from sticks.

- And if anyone tries to blow it down,

they'll get a taste of this! Hiyah-hiyah-hiyah!

- And the third little pig... - And his ninja chicks.

- Made a terrific new friend.

- The Big Good Wolf!

Hugs! - Aww.

[Camilla honks] - Aww.

The pigs liked the Big Good Wolf so much

that they decided to throw him...

all: A party! - But

the three little pigs had a big problem.

[tragic music] - How can we throw a party?

We have no balloons, no music.

We have no confetti!

- Woe is us. - Oh, the humanity.

- Luckily, there was one person who could help.

- Me, your fairy frog mother!

- Can you help us, fairy frog mother?

We wanted to throw a party for our new friend.

- But we don't have any balloons or anything.

- No problem. Just watch this.

[all cheer]

- And so, the Big Good Wolf, the three little pigs,

and their fair frog mother...

- And the ninja chicks. [honking and clucking]

- [chuckles] And the ninja chicks

threw a great party and lived happily ever after.

The end!

[clapping] - Bravo!

That was my favorite play ever.

So creative.

- The fairy frog mother was a great idea, Kermit.

- Everyone's ideas were great.

Our play may not have been like the book,

but it was still the perfect story.

- So who's ready for part two?

"Snow White and the Seven Potatoes"!

all: Gonzo!

[laughter]

[foreboding music]

♪ ♪

- "The Card Shark"!

[chuckles]

- Aw, it's never gonna stop raining.

Looks like we're stuck inside all day.

- Don't let a little rain ruin your day, kids.

What about playing Coral Land? - [gasps]

Coral Land is moi's favorite game.

- I've never played Coral Land.

- It's the best game ever! Come on.

- [chuckles] Have fun, kids.

- Do we have to play Coral Land?

Piggy always wins.

- Moi can't help it if moi is the best at Coral Land.

- How do we play? - First, you pick a card

from the deck, then move your piece

to the space with the same color as the card.

Whoever gets to the Coral Castle first

wins the Coral Crown.

- So pretty.

- Pink cards are the best cards

because they let you take shortcuts across the board.

But you lose a turn if you pick a red card.

[eerily] And beware.

Coral Land is full of traps! Like Clamville.

- Don't wake up the sleeping clam!

- And Bubble Reef.

- Don't touch the bubbles!

- And Octo-Purple Cove.

- If the octopus gets you, you don't come out--ever!

- Now, since I explained the rules, I get to go first.

- Uh-oh, a red card. You lose a turn.

- Um, look! It stopped raining!

[confused chatter] - What?

- Good-bye, red. Hello, pink.

- It's still raining. - Oh, it is, Animal?

Well, back to the game. [gasps] Look!

Moi picked a pink card.

- Wait a minute.

We just saw you pick a red card.

Are you cheating? - Cheating? Never.

You must've seen the card wrong.

There. Now it's your turn, Summer.

[devious music]

♪ ♪

- Ah! [laughing] - [giggles]

- Oh.

♪ ♪

- And now it's my turn.

If moi gets another pink card, moi wins.

Oh, would you look at that?

That means I reached the Coral Castle and win the game.

Ta-da!

- But you pulled a pink card every turn.

That's not possible.

Unless you're cheating.

- Piggy, I don't think we want to play with you anymore

if you cheat. - Oh, you're just jealous

because no one can beat the Coral Queen.

- I bet I can beat you. all: Huh?

[funky record scratch]

[together] Rizzo? - Actually,

I'm so good at that game, they call me

the Card Shark.

all: Whoa!

- I can beat all of you, no sweat.

- Well then, game on, Card Shark.

Pick your piece. - Not so fast.

How about we make this game a little more interesting?

Follow me. Whoo-hoo!

- Wow! - Card Shark?

- [harrumphs] Come on, everyone.

all: Whee!

[excited chatter]

- Look at all the fish. - Whoa!

- Sheesh, took you long enough.

Let's get this game started.

- A red card! You lose a turn!

- Look! A whale! - Huh?

all: Huh?

- Hey! Didn't you just have a red card?

- I did not.

You must've seen the card wrong.

So long, second-placers.

[cackles]

- [harrumphs] I'll show you.

- Great. Now we've got two cheaters.

- Um, what's that supposed to mean?

- Oh come on, Piggy. We all know you cheated to win.

- And now you're doing the same thing he just did.

- Yeah, we told you we wouldn't play with you anymore

if you cheated.

- I'm not like him!

I can win without cheating.

all: You can? - Mm-hmm?

- [growls] I'll prove it to you.

I'll play the whole game without breaking the rules.

Promise.

[all cheer] - All right!

- Everyone, pick your cards.

- Blue! - Green.

- Blue. - Green.

- Orange? Oh, no!

That'll take me right through...

Clamville! - [snores]

- [whimpers] - Oh, boy.

- Bleh. - I got yellow.

- That's great, Piggy.

That puts you way ahead of us.

- But none of us got pink.

That means we all have to go through Clamville.

- Well, we better get swimmin'.

[clam snoring]

- That sleeping clam looks pretty dangerous.

Good thing I got a pink card so I can shortcut around it.

Catch you later, Clamville.

- There's the sleeping clam!

- [whispering] Since we don't have a pink card,

we have to go straight.

[all gulp] Maybe we can sneak

past the clam without waking it up...

- Don't touch it, or it'll wake up for sure.

Phew. We made it!

[all gasp]

- Sleep tight, Mr. Clam. Muah!

[clam barks]

all: Whoa! - Good clam, good clam!

- [barking] - Back to sleep, clam!

- Kermie, we have to keep going

before Rizzo takes his next turn!

- You go ahead, Piggy. [yelps] We'll catch up.

[shouts]

- Hah!

- There you are!

- Still lagging behind, I see.

- Well, moi didn't cheat like you, but now it's my turn

to draw first.

And I get a blue card.

- I picked a green card.

That still puts me ahead of you.

Later.

- [growls] Get back here, you!

- Uh-oh. It's gonna be tough getting

past these bubbles without getting trapped.

Good thing I hid a few pink cards

for emergencies.

Ain't no bubbles gonna trap this card shark.

- I saw you pull those extra cards out.

You cheated! But I promised my friends

I wouldn't. Out of the way, bubbles.

Piggy coming through!

Whoa! [shouting]

[all groan]

- Hey, where did Piggy go?

- Hiyah! Hiyah! Hiyah!

- Come on. If we can catch up,

we can help her. But remember,

don't touch the bubbles.

- Ooh, bubbles!

- And hello, green space!

- Hiyah! Hiyah! Hiyah!

[grunts]

- Hey!

how ya doin', Piggy?

- [grumbles] You!

- Sorry, ain't got no time to talk.

I got me a game to win. [laughs]

Oh, look, a pink card. Just what I needed.

- You're only allowed to pull cards

from the top of the deck. You cheated again!

- Too bad. Nobody saw.

- I saw! - Says you.

Later, tater.

- [growls]

- Phew. I thought we'd never catch up.

- What's wrong, Piggy?

- I don't like this game anymore.

Rizzo's cheating, and it's no fun.

- That kinda sounds like how we felt when you cheated.

- It is? - Yeah...

- Yeah, pretty much. - Yeah, that's...yeah.

- Oh. Now I get it.

Moi is so sorry, everyone. Can you ever forgive me?

- Of course, silly! - Yeah, uh-huh!

- Uh, anyone seen Animal?

He's usually all about the group hugs.

- Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble,

bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble!

- Well, I say we stop seahorsing around

with the Card Shark and just quit.

There're plenty of other games we can play.

- No. I'm going to beat that card shark,

and I'll do it fair and square. Now, where's my next card?

- A purple card? That'll make you land

right in the middle of...

both: Octo-Purple Cove!

- Oh, man.

The octopus will get you for sure!

- So what? I'm not afraid

of a giant octopus.

And besides, you guys will be right behind me,

won't you?

all: Nope. We all got red cards.

- [sighs] Then I'll have to do it on my own!

- Boy, Octo-Purple Cove sure looks spooky.

I'm glad I don't have to go through it,

thanks to this pink card I swiped from the deck

back there.

[snickers] Coral Castle, here I co--

Wait a minute, I'm supposed to go that way--

[shouts, grunts]

Aw, man, I forgot that last shortcut's a trap.

- There it is. Octo-Purple Cove.

Ooh, that doesn't look so bad.

- [gurgles creepily] - [yelps]

- Mm...I can't go in there.

But I have to get to Coral Castle

and win the game!

[gasps] I still have this one pink card

I stole from the deck.

I could use it to open the shortcut...

[groans] I can't do it.

I have to play by the rules.

[both scream]

Go away, mean, scary octopus.

- Go away, mean, scary pig!

- I'm not mean and scary. I'm Piggy.

- I'm Orville. Orville H Octopus.

I'm supposed to help anyone who lands

on the purple space find the Coral Castle,

but everyone's scared of me,

so no one ever comes this way.

They all try to take the shortcut and get caught

in the water trap like that rat.

Boy, he cheats a lot!

- Well, I landed on the purple space.

- You did? [gasps]

That means I get to show you the way to the Coral Castle.

- Oh, Orville! That's wonderful.

- Come on, it's over this way!

- Whoopee!

- There you go. - Thank you so much, Orville.

- Have fun!

- There it is. The Coral Crown!

[fanfare]

One more move and I win.

- Piggy! [all cheer]

Glad you made it!

- You made it! - We just went through the cove

and met Orville. He showed us how to find you.

- He's pretty cool for a guy with fangs,

tentacles, and giant, staring googly eyes.

- The Coral Crown's right there.

We're almost done.

- But wait, isn't it Rizzo's turn?

- Hello?

How 'bout a little help over here?

- I think I know someone who can help.

Oh, Orville!

- [giggling]

- [shouts, grunts]

- If Rizzo got caught in a trap,

then Piggy goes next!

- And that means...

I win!

all: Yay!

[majestic music]

[shimmering tones]

all: Yay!

- You did it, Piggy! - And without cheating.

- You guys were right.

It feels great to win fair and square.

- You deserve it, Piggy.

Well, thanks for lettin' me play with you guys.

See you around, I guess.

- Oh, wait. Rizzo, where are you going?

How about another game? - You mean it?

- After all that?

- But this time, no cheating. all: Yeah.

- Don't you worry. I learned my lesson

about playin' fair. No more cheatin' for this rat.

- Look, it stopped raining.

For real this time.

- We can play more Coral Land later, Rizzo.

Come on everybody, let's go outside!

[all cheering]

- Rematch? - You're on.

both: To Coral Land we go!

- Whoopee! - [giggles]

[upbeat music]

- [giggles]
