(MUPPET BABIES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

MISS NANNY: Okay, everyone.

Let's put the crayons away so we can have story time.

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

MISS NANNY: Today we're going to read Bombo the Baby Gorilla.

Ooh, I love that book.

Let's hurry and clean up.

(MUPPET BABIES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(HUMMING)

All done, Miss Nanny.

Wow, Fozzie, you were so fast.

Can you be my special helper and clean up one more thing?

Me? A special helper?

MISS NANNY: Can you move that flowerpot

to the table by the window?

It could use a little more sun.

You can count on this bear, Miss Nanny.

That's the spirit. I'll be back in a little bit

when everyone's done cleaning up.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Miss Nanny's special helper coming through.

"Special helper"? That sounds important.

Oh, it is.

But Miss Nanny has nothing to worry about

with Fozzie Bear on the job.

(CLATTERS)

(YELLS) I... I broke the flowerpot.

Don't worry, Fozzie. Just tell Miss Nanny what happened.

I'm sure she'll understand.

But what if she gets mad at me?

MISS NANNY: Okay, everyone.

Gather around for story time.

-GONZO, SUMMER, MISS PIGGY: Yeah! -ANIMAL: Yeah! Story time!

Oops. I guess we'll have to tell Miss Nanny later.

I'll just move this right here so no one will see it.

I mean, step on it.

But Fozzie, you need to...

Oh.

MISS NANNY: "In the jungle far away,

"Bombo loves to laugh and play.

"Follow the beating of his drum,

"and you'll find Bombo on the run."

-I'd love to play with Bombo. -Me, too.

I'll bet he doesn't have to worry about breaking things.

MISS NANNY: "Don't let mud get in your way.

"Grab Bombo's vine and swing this way."

Mud wouldn't stop me.

I could swing on that vine just like he does.

MISS NANNY: "If the river is too wide,

"row Bombo's boat to the other side."

Bombo and I could row the boat together.

Far, far away.

MISS NANNY: "At last, we join Bombo, our new best friend.

"Time for a new-friends drum party.

"The end."

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

Oh. That jungle sure looks like fun.

(GRUNTS) Jungle Animal want to run and play.

(STOMACH GRUMBLES)

MISS NANNY: (LAUGHS) It sounds like your jungle tummy is ready to eat.

Who's ready for snack time?

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

Why don't you guys go play in the backyard

while I get it ready?

MUPPET BABIES: Okay!

Uh, hey, Fozzie. Aren't you forgetting something?

Now that story time is over,

you can tell Miss Nanny about the broken flowerpot.

I can't tell her about the flowerpot, Kermit.

Because... Uh...

Because I'm going to live with Bombo in the jungle.

What? Why?

Because Bombo loves to laugh and play.

And who likes laughing more than me, huh?

Besides, this way I'll never have to tell Miss Nanny

I broke the flowerpot.

See you, Kermit.

And don't forget to write.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa... (THUDS)

Whoa! This jungle is bananas.

Huh? Bananas? (LAUGHS)

I'm even funnier in the jungle.

(NORMAL) ♪ And it feels pretty good for now ♪

♪ Getting away from it all ♪

Oh.

(MUPPET BABIES LAUGHING)

KERMIT: Guys, Fozzie ran away.

He broke Miss Nanny's flowerpot,

and then he didn't wanna tell her.

And then he went to go live in the jungle with Bombo.

(MUPPET BABIES GASPING)

Oh, Kermie, what should we do?

We have to find Fozzie and bring him back home.

He can't just run away from his problems.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

MISS PIGGY: Whee!

-MUPPET BABIES: Whoa! -(THUDS)

-Fozzie! -Can you hear us?

A-ha! Bear feet.

Bear feet!

Oh, look. Animal found Fozzie Bear's footprints.

Come on. Let's go follow them.

(MUPPET BABIES CHEERING)

Now that I'm here in the jungle,

all I got to do is find Bombo.

Uh-oh.

That mud looks even muddier up close.

But there's Bombo's vine.

I could use it to swing across the mud just like he does.

Bombo, here I co...

-(YELLS) -(THUDS)

Uh-oh. I broke Bombo's swinging vine.

Oh, I don't want him to be mad at me.

Oh, I know.

I'll hide it here, so he won't find out.

That is one big mud puddle.

Isn't Bombo supposed to have a vine to swing over the mud?

I don't see one here.

We're gonna have to swim for it.

(GRUNTING)

I don't know, Gonzo. The mud's not very deep.

I'm pretty sure we can just walk across.

Well, sure, if you wanna do it the easy way. (SCOFFS)

Ah. I've reached the wide river.

And here's Bombo's boat.

I guess he won't mind me borrowing it.

After all, the book did say to row across the other si...

Whoa! Oh!

Uh-oh. I broke Bombo's boat.

Now he's gonna be mad for sure.

I'll just use these bananas to hide it.

Maybe Bombo won't notice.

-(LAUGHS) Huh? -(DRUMMING)

Bombo's drumming.

I must be close.

Fozzie's footprints lead here to the river.

Right where Bombo's boat is supposed to be.

Yeah, except the boat's on the other side.

So, how do we get across?

I know. We can use those rocks to hop across the river.

Follow me.

(MUPPET BABIES GIGGLING)

Um, guys,

this rock is moving backwards.

That's no rock.

That's a hippopotamus!

-Yipes! -Whoop! Sorry. Here you go.

Phew! Thanks!

The next time you need help,

just give us a heads up.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

Bye-bye, hippos.

There's Fozzie's tracks. Let's go.

(MUPPET BABIES EXCLAIMING)

(GASPS) Bombo's hammock.

And his drums.

(GASPS) And his tree house.

Oh, I can't wait to meet Bombo

so we can start all that laughing and playing.

And I never have to tell Miss Nanny I broke her flowerpot.

Bombo?

Bombo?

Bombo? Huh.

I don't see Bombo anywhere.

I'll just put my feet up here

and wait till he gets back. Ah!

MUPPET BABIES: Fozzie!

What are you guys doing here?

-We came to find you. -We were worried.

MUPPET BABIES: Whoa!

-Uh-oh. -We... We...

Broke the hammock.

I hope Bombo won't be mad at us.

Maybe we should get out of here before he finds out.

-What? -No.

Gotta tell Bombo.

It might be a little hard to tell Bombo we broke his hammock,

but we can't just run away from a problem, Fozzie.

We've got to be brave and tell the truth.

It's the right thing to do.

BOMBO: Yahoo!

(GASPS) There he is.

MISS PIGGY: Bombo!

That's me. But who are you?

I've never seen baby gorillas like you before.

We're not gorillas.

We're explorers who came to find our friend.

Hi.

Great!

Pull up the hammock and make yourself at home.

MUPPET BABIES: Uh...

What's wrong?

Don't you wanna sit down?

Um, Bombo, there's something we have to tell you.

-We broke your hammock. -What?

Well, it was an accident.

Oh, that's okay. At least you told me you broke it.

Someone broke my boat and swinging vine today, too.

And they didn't even apologize.

It made me sad.

Oh.

(SIGHS)

Actually, Bombo,

I'm the one who broke the boat and the swinging vine.

I tried to hide it

because I thought you'd be mad.

I'm really sorry.

Well, I'm not mad.

They were accidents, right?

Everybody does something by accident once in a while.

I'll just fix 'em.

See? We can still be friends.

Now, let's have a new-friends drum party.

ALL: Yay!

I'd love to, Bombo.

But first, there's someone else I need to tell the truth to.

You broke someone else's boat?

Something like that.

We'll be back in a jiffy. I promise.

Okay. I'll go get more drums.

Come on, guys.

Let's go find Miss Nanny.

(MUPPET BABIES CHEERING)

Miss Nanny?

Miss Nanny?

MISS NANNY: Oh, hi, Fozzie.

It'll be snack time in just a minute.

Is everything okay?

Well, you see...

-SUMMER: Go, Fozzie, go! -ANIMAL: Do it! Do it! Do it!

Miss Nanny, I... (SIGHS)

I broke the flowerpot.

It fell off the table when I leaned on it.

I'm sorry.

You trusted me to be your special helper,

but I wasn't very helpful at all.

MISS NANNY: Oh, Fozzie. It's okay.

I'm just glad you told me the truth.

Oh. Me, too.

ALL: Aw.

MISS NANNY: So, what do you say we see if we can fix it?

-Together. -(GASPS)

You got it.

There!

MISS NANNY: A bandage, some glue, and good as new.

Still wanna put it on the table for me?

I sure do. Ah.

-MUPPET BABIES: Yay! -MISS NANNY: Perfect.

Thanks, special helper.

(CHUCKLES)

MISS NANNY: And now, if you'll excuse me,

I'd better finish up in the kitchen.

You see, Fozzie?

Everything turned out okay.

Yeah. Thanks for showing me how to admit

when I made a mistake instead of hiding it.

Miss Nanny wasn't mad at me at all, and neither was Bombo.

Hey. I think it's time we got back

to that new-friends drum party. Huh?

Yeah. Let's go, everybody.

MUPPET BABIES: Whoo-hoo!

(DRUMMING)

RIZZO: "My Brother Vinny."

(GROANS)

(MUPPET BABIES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

I said...

(GROANS LOUDER)

Gee, Rizzo. Is something wrong?

Oh, it's much worse than wrong. It's awful.

My big brother is coming to visit.

Why is that awful?

Wouldn't you be happy to see your big brother?

I am happy.

In fact, I'm thrilled.

That's thrilled?

You look sadder than a pickle-eating platypus who ate all his pickles.

I love my brother.

It's just that he's so cool and I'm so me.

Animal think Rizzo cool.

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah, you're cool, Rizzo.

Thanks. But trust me,

my big brother's way cooler.

You ever hear of Vinny Linguine?

(GASPS) Everyone's heard of Vinny Linguine.

He's an amazing singer.

Yeah! I know the words to all of his songs.

He's a real superstar.

Does your brother know Vinny Linguine?

My brother doesn't know Vinny Linguine,

he is Vinny Linguine.

MUPPET BABIES: What?

Do vous mean to tell me that this is your brother?

(SINGING) ♪ Cheese, cheese, cheese ♪

♪ I love cheese ♪

♪ Give me some more of that, please ♪

Thank you.

That's him, all right.

And he's gonna be here any minute.

(GASPS) Vinny Linguine is coming here?

We gotta go outside and wait for him.

Come on!

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

(GROANS)

What's wrong, Rizzo? Aren't you coming?

I guess.

It's just that I wish I was a superstar.

Then Vinny'd think I was cool, too.

Aw, Rizzo.

You don't need to be a superstar to be cool.

Hey, you're right!

I don't need to be a superstar.

I can just pretend to be one.

Oh, thanks, Summer.

Oh, wait. Rizzo, that's not what I...

-Whee! -...meant.

-Where is he? Where is he? -(CAR HONKS)

(SQUEALS)

Oh, my gosh. You're Vinny Linguine!

The one and only.

Thank you very much.

And these are my backup dancers, The Super Fly Girls.

-(CLUCKING) -Cool moves.

And if you like that,

wait till you see the show we're putting on after snack time.

Dreams really do come true. (GROANS)

Hey, Vinny! Good to see ya!

Ey! Is that my little brother?

Come here and give me a hug.

It's good to see you, Rizzo.

What you been doing lately?

Oh, just some dancing, signing autographs.

'Cause you know, I too am a superstar.

-You are? -MUPPET BABIES: You are?

(CLUCKING)

Yeah! In fact, yesterday I did a big show

here after snack time.

I don't remember that.

(WHISPERING) Because Rizzo just made it up.

Oh.

Oh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

If I'm a superstar and you're a superstar,

then you know what that means, little bro?

That I'm finally as cool as you?

It means that we should do a song together.

Habada, habada. What?

Aw. Look at my little bro.

He's so happy, he can hardly speak.

-Ah, ee... (STUTTERS) -Good idea.

I'll meet you at the stage after snack time.

It's gonna be cool.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

I don't get it, Rizzo.

Why'd you tell your brother you're a superstar?

Because I wanted him to think I'm cool.

But now you have to do a show with him.

I know. I can't do that.

Unless you guys help me.

I don't know, Rizzo.

It seems like Vinny was really happy to see you just the way you are.

But guys, this is the first time I've ever felt as cool as Vinny.

You gotta help me.

Pretty please? Pretty please with cheddar on top?

-Uh... Okay. -If you say so.

Rat-tastic.

First, I'm gonna need something real cool to wear.

Leave it to moi.

I know a thing or two about being a star.

All right. Let's get this superstar makeover started.

First, we have to pick out the perfect outfit.

Oh! Let's try this.

No.

Nope.

Oh, boy.

Perfect!

Now this is the outfit that makes me look like a real superstar.

Especially the shoes.

They're just like the ones Vinny wears.

Cool...

Oops.

Hey! Watch where you're throwing your shoes, kid.

Sorry, Mr. Statler and Mr. Waldorf.

Okay. I got the superstar outfit and the superstar shoes.

All I need to do is figure out the dancing part of the show.

That'll be easy, Rizzo. You're a great dancer.

I wasn't talking about me.

I was talking about you guys.

MUPPET BABIES: Us?

Sure. All superstars have backup dancers.

So, Kermit, Animal, Summer, you got the job.

First, try this move.

I call it the Rubber Rat.

Now you try.

Hey, look! I'm doing it.

Yeah, looking good, Kermit.

(GIGGLES) This is fun.

Wiggle those arms more, Summer. That's it.

(CHUCKLING) Wiggly, wiggly, wiggly.

Nice, Animal. It's like you're made of rubber.

Now check out this next move.

Ha, cha, cha. Whoops.

WALDORF: Hey, watch it!

Sorry about that, Mr. Waldorf!

Boy, these shoes don't fit so good.

Maybe I should try a different pair.

MISS NANNY: Hey, gang.

Come and get some pretzels and milk.

MUPPET BABIES: Yeah!

Wow, Rizzo. You look just like a real superstar,

and you dance like one, too.

Now all you gotta do is get on stage and sing.

Sing?

I forgot about that part. I can't sing.

Oh, come on, Rizzo. I'm sure that's not true.

Yeah! Everybody can sing.

Not me.

Yes, you.

Watch and learn from the Great Gonzo.

Hey, Summer, what's the opposite of good?

I know. But what can I do?

Not much.

Snack time's almost over and we gotta get to the theater.

Wait a minute. Gonzo's got a great voice

and he knows the words to all of Vinny's songs.

Well, yeah.

But only in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese, and Chicken.

So, what if Gonzo sings and I pretend it's me?

Here, I'll show ya.

Uh, sing that song again, Gonzo.

Rizzo, there you are.

Are you ready for the big show, little brother?

We sure, uh, uh...

So, let's get this show started.

Hiya, hiya, hiya, folks!

Allow me to introduce the superstar of singing.

It's Vinny Linguine!

And he's the pack rat who can boogie with the best of them,

it's Vinny's baby brother, Rizzo!

-(ALL GASP) -Huh?

-Uh-oh. -(GROANS)

I knew I shoulda wore some different shoes.

Rizzo, what in the Gorgonzola is going on here?

Vinny, the truth is I ain't no superstar.

I was just pretending to be one.

But why would you do that?

'Cause you're just so cool.

And I thought if I was a superstar singer like you,

maybe you'd think I was cool too. Oh.

I'm sorry.

Rizzo, wait.

You don't have to pretend to be something you're not to be cool.

You just gotta be yourself.

But what's so cool about me?

I ain't no superstar.

Everybody's cool in their own way.

I wish I could dance like you

instead of having The Super Fly Girls dance for me.

(CLUCKING)

Hold up.

You think I'm cool?

'Course I do.

You're the coolest little brother a rat could ask for.

Whoa! I mean, whoa!

You know, I could teach you how to do

a few of my dance moves sometime, if you want.

Aw, man. That would be... so cool.

Then let's do it.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Come on, everybody. Do the Rubber Rat.

ALL: Yay!
