Red text reads, “TVO.” Logos read, “TVOkids.” “yle.” “Radio-Canada.” Text beneath the logos reads, “Original.”

Nooni, a white rabbit, throws a black disc as Huhu, a purple owl, flies past. Nooni, an orange fox, dashes past. DJ Bass, a bear, wears headphones, as she puts letters on a purple cloud. Momolu, a black and white panda bear, puts a letter on the cloud.

[Playful music plays]

Animals cheer, YEAH! AH-HA!

[Laughing, chirping]

Text reads, “TVOkids Presents Momolu and Friends.” Momolu; Nooni; Banni; Huhu; Hiku, a black and white badger; and DJ Bass gather under the text.

Animals cheer, YAY!

Momolu says, PAINT PUZZLER!

[Upbeat music plays]

Banni hops to Momolu’s pink house and knocks on a red door. Momolu opens the door.

[Rustling, door opens]

Momolu says, BANNI!
I'M SO EXCITED YOU'RE HERE!

[Giggling]

Banni says, WOW, MOMOLU,
I CAN SEE THAT!

Momolu says, COME AND SEE!
TA-DAH!

Momolu gestures at a small shrub in his garden.

Banni says, OOOH!
IT'S GOT NEW LEAVES!

Momolu asks, AREN'T THEY
AMAZING? I LOVE THE COLOR
OF NEW LEAVES SO MUCH!

DO YOU SEE HOW THE NEW
LEAVES ARE SMALL AND VERY
BRIGHT GREEN?

[Rustling]

Momolu says, THAT ONLY
LASTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

SOON THEY'LL GET BIGGER
AND TURN DARKER GREEN.

THAT'S NICE TOO, BUT
NEW LEAF GREEN IS SPECIAL.

[Sighs, rustling]

Momolu says, I'LL MISS
THOSE LITTLE BUDS!

Banni says, HMM, I WISH THERE
WAS A WAY THAT MOMOLU
COULD SEE THIS SPECIAL GREEN
ALL THE TIME... MM-HMM!

A pink butterfly lands on the shrub, then flutters away.

[Fluttering]

Later, Banni pulls a red wagon full of blank canvasses behind her as she walks on a path to Momolu’s house.

[Squeaking wheels, upbeat music plays]

Banni says, MOMOLU?

HELLO? HE MUST'VE GONE
OUT. THAT'S OKAY. I'LL GET
STARTED ANYWAY.

Banni sets up an easel in the garden beside the shrub and places a canvas on it.

[Giggles, squeaking wheels, banging]

Banni says, HE'LL BE SO HAPPY
WHEN HE SEES MY PAINTING
OF THE NEW BUDS!

THEN HE CAN ENJOY THEM
ALL THE TIME.

[Scratching, upbeat music plays]

Banni says, NOW FOR THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART! THE COLOR!

LET'S PAINT!

THAT'S NOT GOING
TO WORK.

LET'S SEE IF I JUST ADD
A SQUEEZE OF WHITE...
THAT'S TOO LIGHT...

[Sighs]

Bannie says, HMM...
HMM, HMM...

[Scratching, sighs]

Huhu and Nooni arrive in front of Momolu’s house.

Huhu says, HELLO? MOMOLU?

Banni says, HUH?

HI NOONI, HI HUHU.

Nooni says, HEY, BANNI.
DIDN'T NOTICE YOU OVER
THERE. YOU'RE LOOKING
KIND OF... GREEN.

Banni says, I'M TRYING TO MAKE
MOMOLU A PAINTING, BUT...

[Sighs]

Banni says, I JUST CAN'T SEEM
TO GET IT RIGHT!

Huhu says, HMM, YES. FINDING
JUST THE RIGHT GREEN
CAN BE TRICKY...

BUT YOU'VE MATCHED
THESE LEAVES REALLY WELL...

YOU'RE EXACTLY
THE SAME COLOR!

Banni says, BUT THE LEAVES
I'M TRYING TO MATCH
ARE THESE ONES...

[Whoosh]

Nooni says, OHHH..!

Huhu says, I SEE!

WHY DON'T WE ALL ASK ALL OUR
FRIENDS AROUND THE ISLAND?

Later, Banni and Huhu each put small pots on the grass in Momolu’s garden.

[Rattling]

Banni says, THAT'S A WONDERFUL
IDEA! KIMU LOANED ME TWO POTS.

Huhu says, WONDERFUL!
I FLEW OVER TO DJ BASS'S TENT
AND GOT THESE THREE FROM HER!

Nooni throws pots in a stack and jumps on top as the stack wobbles.

[Banging]

Nooni says, WHOA! HIYA...

The stack tips and Nooni falls on the grass.

[Squeaking, clattering]

Nooni says, I'M OKAY.

[Giggles]

Banni, Nooni, and Huhu take the lids off pots of green paint. Banni dips her paint brush in a pot and dabs colour on the easel.

[Clattering, swishing]

Banni shakes her head and says, UH-HUH.

Huhu says, HMM...

[swishing, disappointed groan]

Banni says, UH-HUH...

[Swishing]

Nooni dabs green paint on the easel.

[Swishing]

Huhu says, HMM...

Nooni says, I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE COULDN'T FIND THE RIGHT
GREEN. WE SEARCHED THE
WHOLE ISLAND!

YOU KNOW, MY GRANDMOTHER
OWL ALWAYS SAID, "IF YOU'RE
STUCK ON A PROBLEM, THERE'S
ONE SUREFIRE WAY TO
UNSTICK YOURSELF."

Banni asks, REALLY? WHAT IS IT?

Huhu says, YOU DO A LITTLE
DANCE. LIKE THIS...

[Flapping, humming, chuckling]

Nooni asks, BUT HOW DOES
DANCING WITH YOUR BODY
HELP YOU THINK WITH
YOUR BRAIN?

[Whoosh, energetic music plays]

Huhu dances and says, MOVING MY
BODY IN A FUN WAY CHEERS ME UP.

AND THAT HELPS ME RELAX.

AND WHEN I'M RELAXED,
IT'S EASIER TO HAVE NEW IDEAS.

YOUR TURN, BANNI!

Banni hops high as she dances.

[Humming and laughing]

Banni knocks Nooni over and Nooni falls on the shrub.

Huhu says, WHOA! OUCH!

[Rustling]

[Laughing]

Huhu says, GOODNESS, NOONI,
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

Nooni says, YUP, I'M OKAY.

Nooni stands. Light green leaves cover her tail. The white tip of her tail has green on it.

Banni says, NOONI! YOUR TAIL!
IT'S EXACTLY THE RIGHT COLOR!

Nooni says, AH, WELL, THAT'S
AWFULLY NICE OF YOU TO SAY.

I DO REALLY LIKE
MY RED-AND-WHITE TAIL.

Nooni notices the leaves on her tail.

Nooni says, OH. OOOOH!

OH YEAH! NOW I SEE IT; THAT'S
OUR NEW-LEAF GREEN.

[Giggles, rustling, upbeat music plays, clattering]

Banni says, THAT'S IT!

Huhu says, SEE? THE THINKING
DANCE WORKS EVERY TIME.

Banni says, THIS POWDER
IS A PAINT INGREDIENT.

JUST ADD SOME WATER
AND THE THING THAT WILL
MAKE IT CHANGE COLOR.

[Splashing]

Banni says, UH-HUH... MM-HMM!
NO WAY.

[Rubbing, gasp]

Banni mixes leaf powder with water.

[Laughing, clinking, humming, splashing]

Banni says, UH-HUH.

Banni stirs her liquid and it turns new-leaf green.

[Happy cheering]

[Flapping, whooshing, giggling]

Banni dabs a sample of the new colour on to her canvas.

Huhu says, THAT'S
BUNNY BRILLIANT!

[Cheering]

Momolu arrives and notices Huhu, Nooni, and Banni in his garden.

[Rustling footsteps, upbeat music plays]

Momolu says, OOH...

[Laughing]

Momolu says, HI!

HOW FUN TO FIND A
PARTY IN MY OWN YARD.

Nooni says, EVEN BETTER,
THIS PARTY HAS A PRESENT
FOR YOU!

SHOW HIM, BANNI!

[Drumroll plays]

Banni shows Momolu her painting of the shrub.

Banni says, TA-DAH!

Momolu says, ROLY POLY PANDAS!
YOU PAINTED A PICTURE OF MY
NEW SHRUB!

Banni says, I SAW HOW MUCH YOU
LIKED THE GREEN OF THE NEW
LEAVES AND WANTED YOU TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK AT IT ALL THE TIME.

Momolu says, I'M THE LUCKIEST
PANDA IN THE WORLD TO HAVE
FRIENDS LIKE YOU!

[Joyful music plays]
