[Upbeat music plays]

Paths lead to houses in a small village on a grassy hill. Four turbines on a windmill rotate slowly.

Voices sing, HERE COMES
DONKEY HODIE.

A yellow donkey with a brown mane and long eyelashes exits the windmill through a doorway.

Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!

Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.

A voice sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE,
SHE LOVES SURPRISE.

WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM,
SHE TRIES AND TRIES.

The voices sing, LET'S GO, DONKEY HODIE.

The single voice sings, IF SHE FAILS,
SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK.

COME ON, DUCK DUCK,
GIVE A QUACK

Duck Duck, a green duck, quacks, KEE-KEE! QUACK!

Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.

The voice sings, PLAYS WITH BOB DOG,
THEY HAVE A BALL.

IT'S FUN FOR THEM,
IT'S FUN FOR ALL.

[Slide whistle]

Bob Dog, a brown dog, barks, BOW-WOW!

Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.

[Whoosh]

The voice sings, JUST FOR FUN,
SHE'LL TAKE A TRIP.

WITH PURPLE PANDA,
IN A SPACESHIP.

Purple Panda says, HEY-O!

Voices sing, DONKEY HODIE.

Text reads, “Developed by Ellen Doherty.” “Inspired by the work of Fred Rogers.” “Donkey Hodie.”

[Slide whistle]

The voice sings, HEE AND A HAW
AND A HAW AND A HEE.

SOMEPLACE ELSE IS THE PLACE
TO BE.

WITH OUR PAL DONKEY HODIE.

Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!

Text reads, “Stop and Think.”

Donkey announces, STOP AND THINK.

Donkey and Panda walk on a colourful cobblestone path.

[Donkey and Panda laugh]

[Panting]

Donkey says, I'M GONNA BEAT
YOU TO BOB DOG'S HOUSE!

Panda says, NO WAY!
I'M GONNA BEAT YOU!

Donkey says, NO WAY, PANDA.

[Chuckles]

Donkey asks, PANDA?
WHERE'D YOU GO?

[Birds chirp]

Panda stands in a hole with his head and shoulders poking above the grass.

[Pleasant music plays]

Panda says, HI!

Donkey asks, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING DOWN THERE?

Panda says, WELL, I WAS
RUNNING, AND THEN I WASN'T.

Donkey says, WELL, COME ON
OUT OF THERE SO WE CAN
KEEP PLAYING.

Panda says, OKAY.

[Grunting]

Panda says, I CAN'T REALLY
PULL MYSELF OUT, DONKEY.

Donkey says, OH, HANG ON.
I'LL PULL YOU UP.

Panda says, OH, THANKS.

[Grunting]

Panda says, UH, YOU'RE NOT
REALLY PULLING ME OUT, DONKEY.

[Donkey pants]

Donkey says, AH! MAYBE I CAN
PUSH YOU OUT FROM INSIDE.

[Grunting]

Donkey tries climb down into the hole with Panda.

Donkey says, TIGHT SQUEEZE.

Panda says, UH, JUST CURIOUS,
DONKEY. ARE YOU GOING TO
BE ABLE TO GET ME?

Donkey climbs up and stands on the grass beside the hole.

Donkey says, I SURE WILL, PANDA.
UM...HMM. FOCUS, FOCUS.

THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK!

PANDA CAN'T PULL HIMSELF OUT.
I CAN'T PULL OR PUSH HIM. HMM.

THINKING, THINKING.

UH...AH! I GOT IT!

[Ding]

Donkey lowers the end of a long branch into the hole.

Panda asks, WHAT IS IT?

Donkey says, IT'S AN
ALMOST-LADDER. YOU CAN
CLIMB OUT YOURSELF.

Panda says, CLIMBING UP NOW.

Donkey says, GOOD JOB, PANDA.

Panda says, THANK YOU, DONKEY.
YOU TOO! AND, UH, GUESS WHAT.

Donkey asks, WHAT?

Panda says, I'M GONNA BEAT
YOU TO BOB DOG'S!

[Donkey laughs]

Donkey says, HEY! HEY, WAIT!
THERE ARE MORE HOLES OVER
THERE. I WONDER WHAT'S
GOING ON.

Panda says, ONLY THE HOLES
KNOW. COME ON! LET'S
FOLLOW THEM!

[Whoosh]

Donkey says, HEY!

[Chuckles]

Donkey says, LOOK!
MORE HOLES!

Dirt flies up in the air over Panda and Donkey.

[Digging]

Panda says, AH. HEY.
IT'S RAINING DIRT.

Donkey says, HEY, BOB DOG?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[Wobbling]

Bob Dog says, UH, I CAN'T FIND
MY BONE. YEAH, I'VE BEEN
DIGGING HOLES ALL OVER
THE PLACE LOOKING FOR IT.

Panda says, OH, YEAH. WE JUST
FOUND ONE OVER THAT WAY.

Bob Dog asks, A BONE?

Panda says, OH, NO, A HOLE.

Bob Dog says, OH.

Panda says, AND I FELL INTO IT.

Bob Dog says, OH, YEAH, YEAH,
SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I BURIED THAT BONE
SOMEWHERE CLOSE BY.
AT LEAST I THINK I DID.

Donkey asks, DON'T YOU HAVE
ANOTHER BONE?

Bob Dog says, I DO, BUT THE
BONE I'M LOOKING FOR ISN'T
JUST ANY BONE.

IT'S MY BOOGIE BONE!

Panda and Donkey ask, BOOGIE BONE?!

[Upbeat music plays]

Bob Dog says, YEAH, YEAH, WHEN
I FEEL LIKE BOOGIEING, I DANCE
WITH IT. AND TODAY I FEEL LIKE
BOOGIEING. SO I NEED MY
BOOGIE BONE!

Panda says, HEY, I GET IT.
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE DANCING,
YOU JUST GOTTA DANCE.

Bob Dog says, YEAH.

[He sighs]

Bob Dog says, AND I'VE LOOKED
EVERYWHERE. OH, IT'S GOTTA
BE HERE SOMEWHERE!

Donkey says, NOT TO WORRY,
BOB DOG.

I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL HELP
YOU FIND YOUR BOOGIE BONE.

SO, HOW DO YOU USUALLY
FIND SOMETHING YOU BURIED?

[Digging]

Bob Dog says, OH, UH, LIKE THIS.
SEE, I USUALLY JUST DIG UNTIL
I FIND IT.

WAIT A MINUTE. I THINK I FOUND
IT. OH, NO. IT'S NOT MY BOOGIE
BONE. IT'S JUST AN OLD TOY
I BURIED YEARS AGO.

[Slide whistle, whoosh, sigh]

Panda asks, SO...ARE YOU JUST
GOING TO KEEP DIGGING HOLES?

Bob Dog says, BOW-WOW, I AM!
HOW ELSE AM I GOING TO FIND
MY BOOGIE BONE?

[Digging]

Donkey says, HEY, BOB DOG?
BOB DOG?

Donkey shouts, BOB DOG!

Bob Dog asks, YES?

Donkey says, UM, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD JUST, OH, I DON'T KNOW,
STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU
DIG HOLES ALL OVER.

YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH A PLAN
TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR BONE.

Panda says, OH, YEAH. STOP AND
THINK, LIKE WHEN YOU WERE
TAPPING YOUR HEAD BEFORE
YOU HELPED ME FIGURE OUT
HOW TO GET OUT OF THAT
HOLE, DONKEY.

Donkey says, I DID DO THAT,
DIDN'T I?

I GUESS I DO THAT WHEN I GET
FRUSTRATED AND FRAZZLED
TO HELP ME STOP AND THINK.

Bob Dog asks, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU GET FRUSTRATED AND
FRAZZLED, TOO?

Donkey says, SURE DO!

[Energetic music plays]

Donkey sings, WHEN I GET
FRUSTRATED AND FRAZZLED,
WHEN I GET WORRIED
OR DAZZLED.

I SIGNAL MYSELF
TO STOP AND THINK,
BY TAPPING MY HEAD LIKE SO.

Donkey taps her head.

[Tink, tink, tink, tink]

Panda says, OH, YEAH!

Panda sings, WHEN I GET
NERVOUS AND FLUSTERED,
WHEN MY MIND IS A
MESSY CLUSTER.

I SIGNAL MYSELF
TO STOP AND THINK,

BY MOVING MY FEET LIKE SO.

Donkey and Panda sing, THE KEY
IS TO FIND YOUR STOP,
RELAX AND FOCUS YOUR THOUGHTS.

THE IDEAS WILL FLOW,
AND SOON YOU'LL KNOW
WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO GO.

Bob Dog says, OH, IF ONLY I HAD
A STOP. I'D BE THE HAPPIEST
DOG IN TOWN.

AAAARRRROOOOOOOO!

Panda says, UH, BOB DOG?
UH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Bob Dog says, OH, NOTHING.
JUST HOWLING UP AT THE SKY,
DISAPPOINTED THAT I CAN'T
REMEMBER WHERE I BURIED
MY BOOGIE BONE.

AROOOOOOOO.

[Sighs]

[Donkey gasps]

[Upbeat music plays]

Donkey says, HEY, BOB DOG.
LOOK AT YOU.

YOU DON'T LOOK FRAZZLED
OR FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW.

Bob Dog says, I-I DON'T?

Donkey says, MNH-MNH.
NO. YOU LOOK RELAXED.

Bob Dog says, I DO? HEY!
YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE RIGHT. I DO
FEEL RELAXED.

Panda says, HEY, BOB, MAYBE
HOWLING UP AT THE SKY
HELPED YOU FEEL LESS
FRAZZLED AND FRUSTRATED.

[Donkey gasps]

Donkey says, BOB DOG!
MAYBE YOU JUST FOUND
YOUR STOP.

[Birds chirp]

Bob Dog says, BOW-WOW, I DID!
WAIT. WHAT IS IT?

Donkey says, HOWLING UP AT
THE SKY IS YOUR STOP!

Bob Dog says, OH, YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE HOWLING
AND LOOKING UP.

Donkey suggests, NOW THAT
YOU'RE CALM AND RELAXED,
MAYBE YOU CAN THINK OF A
PLAN TO FIND YOUR BONE.

Bob Dog says, I CAN?
I MEAN, I CAN! AND I WILL.
YES! OKAY, UM, HOW CAN
I FIND YOU, BOOGIE BONE?

UH, I'VE GOT SO MANY NEW
DANCE STEPS TO DO WITH YOU.

HEY, STEPS. THAT'S IT.

TO HELP ME FIND MY BOOGIE
BONE, I'LL RETRACE MY STEPS
AND DO EVERYTHING EXACTLY
LIKE I DID THE DAY I BURIED IT.

COME ON!

[Whoosh]

Bob Dog says, OKAY, THE FIRST
THING I DID THAT DAY WAS
BURY SOMETHING.

Panda asks, UH, ANOTHER BONE?

Bob Dog says, NO. AN OLD BALL.
YEAH, YOU KNOW THE ONE WITH
THE RED STAR?

WELL, I BURIED IT RIGHT HERE
BY YOUR GRUMBLEBERRY BUSH.

Donkey says, GRUMBLEBERRIES
ARE MY FAVORITE BERRY.
THAT'S WHY I GROW THEM.

Bob Dog says, YEAH, AND YOU
TOLD ME I COULD PICK SOME
TO EAT, AND I DID.

YEAH, YEAH, IT'S ALL
COMING BACK TO ME NOW.

AFTER I PICKED THE
GRUMBLEBERRIES, I BURIED
THE BALL WITH THE RED STAR
RIGHT HERE.

Bob Dog holds up the ball.

[Digging, whoop]

Bob Dog says, SEE!

Panda says, AH, GOOD THINKING,
BOB DOG.

Donkey asks, DID YOU BURY
YOUR BOOGIE BONE HERE, TOO?

Bob Dog says, HMM. DID I?
UHHHH, NO. I DON'T THINK SO.

Panda asks, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHERE YOU WENT AFTER YOU
LEFT HERE?

[Whoosh]

Bob Dog says, I DO!
I BROUGHT MY BOOGIE BONE
RIGHT HERE!

Panda asks, UH, YOU BURIED
YOUR BOOGIE BONE IN
MY SPACESHIP?

Bob Dog says, NO, NO, NO.
I CAME HERE TO BORROW
YOUR RADIO SO I COULD
BOOGIE WITH MY
BOOGIE BONE.

Panda says, OH, YEAH,
I REMEMBER.

Bob Dog says, MM-HMM.

Panda says, YOU CAME BY.
YOU AND ME BOOGIED FOR
A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN YOU AND YOUR
BOOGIE BONE JUST
BOOGIED OFF.

Donkey asks, YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS MEANS, BOB DOG?

Bob Dog says, IT MEANS
I DIDN'T BURY MY BOOGIE
BONE HERE.

[Upbeat music plays]

Donkey says, EXACTLY!

IT ALSO MEANS THAT YOUR
PLAN TO RETRACE YOUR STEPS
TO FIND YOUR MISSING BOOGIE
BONE IS WORKING.

Panda asks, OKAY, SO WHERE
DID YOU GO AFTER YOU LEFT
MY HOUSE?

Bob Dog says, OKAY, LET'S SEE.
WHERE DID I GO?

[Gasps]

Bob Dog says, I REMEMBER.
FOLLOW ME!

[Whoosh, birds chirp, gasp]

Bob Dog says, OKAY. OKAY.
IT'S COMING BACK TO ME
NOW. UM, I CAME HERE TO
THE PARK WITH MY BOOGIE
BONE RIGHT AFTER I
LEFT PANDA'S.

Panda says, UH-HUH.

Donkey says, AH. YES, RIGHT!
THE PARK, THE PERFECT PLACE
TO BURY YOUR BOOGIE BONE.

Panda says, SO...YOU BURIED
IT HERE?

Bob Dog says, I... CAN'T REMEMBER.

Donkey says, I THOUGHT
EVERYTHING WAS COMING
BACK TO YOU.

Bob Dog says, WELL, IT WAS.
IT WAS, BUT NOW IT'S GONE
AGAIN. JUST LIKE MY BOOGIE
BONE! WHAT IF IT'S GONE
FOREVER AND EVER?

[Slide whistle]

Donkey says, FOCUS, BOB DOG.
REMEMBER...

[Energetic music plays]

Donkey and Panda sing, THE KEY
IS TO FIND YOUR STOP,
RELAX AND FOCUS
YOUR THOUGHTS.

THE IDEAS WILL FLOW
AND SOON YOU'LL KNOW,
WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO GO.

[Brakes screech]

Bob Dog says, YEAH, YEAH,
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT! I JUST
NEED TO STOP AND THINK.

Donkey says, MM-HMM!

Bob Dog says, OKAY.
ARRROOOOOOO!
AHH. OKAY. STOP...FOCUS...
CALM DOWN... AND SLOW
IT DOWN.

Donkey says, WE GOT THIS FAR,
BOB DOG. YOU HAD YOUR BONE
WITH YOU UP TO THIS POINT.

Bob Dog says, MM-HMM.

Donkey says, NOW THINK.
KEEP RETRACING YOUR STEPS.

Bob Dog says, OKAY, LET'S SEE.
I CAME HERE. UH...OH! AND THEN
I WENT TO THE BIG GRASSY HILL
OVER THERE.

Panda says, OH! AND YOU BURIED
IT AT THE BIG GRASSY HILL?

Bob Dog says, UM, NO, NO, I DIDN'T
DO THAT. UM... HEY! THAT TREE!
YEAH! I REMEMBER DANCING
AROUND THIS TREE WITH MY
BOOGIE BONE.

Donkey asks, WHAT DID YOU
DO NEXT?

Bob Dog says, UH, WELL, I GOT
SO HUNGRY FROM DANCING
THAT I RAN STRAIGHT HOME!

[Ding]

Bob Dog says, THAT'S IT! THE
BOOGIE BONE'S GOTTA BE AT
MY HOUSE!

Donkey and Panda pace outside of Bob Dog’s blue house.

Bob Dog says, OH, COME ON,
BOOGIE BONE!

WHERE ARE YOU?

[Squeaking, thunk]

Donkey says, HE'S GONNA
FIND IT. I KNOW IT.

Bob Dog says, MAYBE IT'S OVER
HERE. OH, NO.

[Door opens and closes]

Panda asks, DID YOU FIND IT?

Bob Dog says, OH, NO, I DIDN'T
FIND IT. BUT IT'S GOTTA BE
HERE SOMEWHERE BECAUSE
I WAS HUNGRY AND I HAD
TO EAT.

BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG.
MAYBE IT'S NOT HERE.

Donkey says, BOB DOG, I THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA IF YOU USE --

Bob Dog says, MY STOP!

Donkey nods.

Bob Dog says, YES. OKAY.
ARRROOOOOOO! AHH.

MY STOP IS KICKING IN.

OKAY, THINK, BOB DOG.
UH, OKAY, WHEN YOU CAME
HOME... UM, DID YOU STILL
HAVE YOUR BONE?

YES, YES, YOU STILL HAD
YOUR BONE WITH YOU.

BUT YOU WERE HUNGRY.
I WAS VERY, VERY HUNGRY.

Donkey says, OH, WE -- WE KNOW,
BOB DOG.

Bob Dog says, BUT YOU DIDN'T
GET FOOD FROM THE KITCHEN,

DID YOU, BOB DOG?
NO, NO, YOU DIDN'T.

BUT WHY? WHY? WH--

[Bell]

Bob Dog says, I KNOW WHY.
I FIGURED IT OUT!

Panda says, BUT WHAT IS IT,
BOB DOG? WHAT?

Bob Dog says, OKAY, I HAD A
GRUMBLEBERRY PIE COOLING
ON THAT WINDOW SILL RIGHT
OVER THERE.

BUT BEFORE I ATE IT...
I BURIED MY BOOGIE BONE
RIGHT HERE TO KEEP IT SAFE!

[Digging]

Bob Dog says, I FOUND IT!
I FOUND MY BOOGIE BONE!

Bob Dog holds a silver bone.

[Cheering]

Donkey says, YOU FOUND IT!

Bob Dog says, YEAH.
OH, I MISSED YOU, BOOGIE
BONE. I PROMISE I'LL NEVER
BURY YOU AGAIN.

[Sighs]

Bob Dog says, THANKS TO MY
STOP, I FOUND MY BOOGIE BONE.

Panda says, YEAH!
NICE STOPPING, BOB DOG.

Donkey says, AND GOOD THINKING.

Bob Dog says, AWW, THANK YOU.
AND NOW IT'S TIME TO BOOGIE!

[Party horns toot, band music plays]

Panda says, OHHHH!

Donkey says, HEE-HAWESOME!

Bob Dog says, AHH! IT'S A
BOOGIE WONDERLAND!
