QUITE RIGHT.
Panda asks, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Donkey explains, WELL, WHEN FASHION PENGUIN
SHOWED HIS HAT,
IT ALL FELT VERY EXCITING!
Panda says, BUT YOUR HAT'S JUST LIKE HIS.
Donkey says, I KNOW, BUT,
BUT WHEN I CAME OUT,
IT…IT DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME.
Panda says, YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE
YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANNOUNCER.
Donkey says, HEY YEAH!
FASHION PENGUIN
HAD AN ANNOUNCER.
Panda says, MAYBE I CAN BE YOUR ANNOUNCER?
Donkey says, HEE-HAW!
GREAT IDEA, PANDA!

Donkey says, I'M NOT SURE.
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
HMM...HEY!

She says, FASHION! HA-HA!
She dances out the door.
Panda says, SO, HOW DID THAT FEEL, DONKEY?
[Donkey sighing]
Donkey says, IT STILL DIDN'T FEEL
QUITE RIGHT.
Panda says, OH.
He stops the music.
He says, I WONDER WHY?
Donkey says, HMM.
She looks around.
[Donkey gasping]

AND I KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP!

[Donkey laughing]
Donkey waves as she watches Harriet leave.
She says, BYE!
The lights on Donkey’s windmill come back on.
[Dance music plays]
Donkey says, OOPS.
She shakes her wrist and turns off the lights and music. Panda joins her.
He says, OKIE DOKIE, DONKEY HODIE.
ALRIGHT, YOU READY
FOR YOUR BIG ENTRANCE
SO, WE CAN PLAY TUMBLE TAG AFTER?
Donkey says, I'M READY!
She returns to her windmill.
Panda says, OK.
[Panda clearing his throat]
Panda announces, AND HERE COMES FASHION DONKEY
WITH HER NEW CREATION!
The windmill door opens. Donkey poses in the doorway.
She says, FASHION.
She shakes her wrist, turning on the light and music.
[Dance music plays]
Donkey struts outside. Other friends from the neighborhood walk up to her.
One of them says, OHHH!
Polly O’Possum says, OH WOW!
LOOK AT DONKEY!
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN!
A skunk with glasses says, SUCH AN AMAZING HAT!
[Donkey laughing]
Donkey shakes her wrist, turning off the lights and music.
She says, THANKS EVERYONE!
A neighborhood friend says, S'WELL.
The skunk says, BYE-BYE.
Another neighborhood friend says, WOW, LOOKING BEAUTIFUL
I GOTTA SAY.
Donkey waves as her friends leave, turning the lights and music back on.
[Dance music plays]
The neighborhood friends return.
Donkey says, HUH?
Polly says, OH!
ARE THERE MORE FASHIONS?
Donkey says, UH, NO, SORRY, JUST THE HAT.
She shakes her wrist and turns off the lights and music. Her friends leave.
The skunk says, WONDERFUL HAT.
Polly says, OH.
A blue mouse says, OH, OK.
Panda says, THAT WAS FANTASTIC, DONKEY!
[Panda chuckling]
Panda says, SO, DID YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?
Donkey says, MMM, NOT REALLY.
Panada says, YOU DIDN'T?
BUT YOU DID EVERYTHING
JUST LIKE FASHION PENGUIN!
THE EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT
AND THE LIGHTS AND THE MUSIC.
Donkey says, YEAH, I KNOW.
BUT SOMETHING ELSE
WAS STILL MISSING.
Panda scratches his head.
He asks, WHAT'S THAT?
Donkey says, ME!
Later, Donkey strolls down the stone path.
She softly sings, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN,
AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE BIT.
BUT WHEN I PUT THAT HAT ON,
I FELT LIKE
SOMETHING DIDN'T FIT.
Donkey takes off her flowerpot hat.
She sings, I FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
FELT NOT QUITE LIKE DONKEY.
WHEN I TRIED TO BE
LIKE SOMEONE ELSE,
I STARTED MISSING ME.
Donkey stands by nearby hills.
She sings, I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I LIKE THE DONKEY THAT I AM.
I DON'T NEED
TO CHANGE A THING.
THOUGHT I'D HAVE
A FASHION PASSION,
BUT I'D RATHER
DANCE AND SING!
Donkey imagines doing different things.
She sings, I FEEL A PASSION
FOR POTATO WASHIN,
FOR RUNNING AND DASHIN,
AND BONGO TAPPIN,
TO GO HEE-HAWING,
AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING,
FOR SUNNY DAYING,
AND BEST FRIEND PLAYING!
She imagines playing catch with Panda.
Donkey sings, I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
TO BE MEEEEEEEE!
She spins on a hill.
Donkey sings, TO BE ME!
Back outside the windmill, Donkey says, PANDA, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,
I CAN'T BE LIKE FASHION PENGUIN.
THE EXCITEMENT WE FELT
CAME FROM HIM
BECAUSE FASHION IS HIS PASSION.
BUT IT'S NOT COMING FROM ME
BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT WHO I AM.
Donkey and Panda walk side by side.
Panda says, SO, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN ANYMORE,
DONKEY?
Donkey says, NO.
OH, I STILL THINK HE'S AMAZING.
BUT I, DONKEY HODIE, HAVE
A PASSION TO JUST BE MYSELF.
Panda says, HEY, I LIKE THAT.
ANY OTHER PASSIONS?
Donkey says, WELL, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LOVE TUMBLE TAG!
Panda says, HEY, DONKEY! ME TOO!
HEY-O!
[Panda chuckling]
Donkey tumbles into a forward flip and tags Panda.
She says, TAG! YOU'RE IT!
[Donkey and Panda giggling]
Panda forward flips toward Donkey.

Panda says, OK.
[Panda clearing his throat]
Panda announces, AND HERE COMES FASHION DONKEY
WITH HER NEW CREATION!
The windmill door opens. Donkey poses in the doorway.
She says, FASHION.
She shakes her wrist, turning on the light and music.
[Dance music plays]
Donkey struts outside. Other friends from the neighborhood walk up to her.
One of them says, OHHH!
Polly O’Possum says, OH WOW!
LOOK AT DONKEY!
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN!
A skunk with glasses says, SUCH AN AMAZING HAT!
[Donkey laughing]
Donkey shakes her wrist, turning off the lights and music.
She says, THANKS EVERYONE!
A neighborhood friend says, S'WELL.
The skunk says, BYE-BYE.
Another neighborhood friend says, WOW, LOOKING BEAUTIFUL
I GOTTA SAY.
Donkey waves as her friends leave, turning the lights and music back on.
[Dance music plays]
The neighborhood friends return.
Donkey says, HUH?
Polly says, OH!
ARE THERE MORE FASHIONS?
Donkey says, UH, NO, SORRY, JUST THE HAT.
She shakes her wrist and turns off the lights and music. Her friends leave.
The skunk says, WONDERFUL HAT.
Polly says, OH.
A blue mouse says, OH, OK.
Panda says, THAT WAS FANTASTIC, DONKEY!
[Panda chuckling]
Panda says, SO, DID YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?
Donkey says, MMM, NOT REALLY.
Panada says, YOU DIDN'T?
BUT YOU DID EVERYTHING
JUST LIKE FASHION PENGUIN!
THE EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT
AND THE LIGHTS AND THE MUSIC.
Donkey says, YEAH, I KNOW.
BUT SOMETHING ELSE
WAS STILL MISSING.
Panda scratches his head.
He asks, WHAT'S THAT?
Donkey says, ME!
Later, Donkey strolls down the stone path.
She softly sings, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN,
AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE BIT.
BUT WHEN I PUT THAT HAT ON,
I FELT LIKE
SOMETHING DIDN'T FIT.
Donkey takes off her flowerpot hat.
She sings, I FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
FELT NOT QUITE LIKE DONKEY.
WHEN I TRIED TO BE
LIKE SOMEONE ELSE,
I STARTED MISSING ME.
Donkey stands by nearby hills.
She sings, I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I LIKE THE DONKEY THAT I AM.
I DON'T NEED
TO CHANGE A THING.
THOUGHT I'D HAVE
A FASHION PASSION,
BUT I'D RATHER
DANCE AND SING!
Donkey imagines doing different things.
She sings, I FEEL A PASSION
FOR POTATO WASHIN,
FOR RUNNING AND DASHIN,
AND BONGO TAPPIN,
TO GO HEE-HAWING,
AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING,
FOR SUNNY DAYING,
AND BEST FRIEND PLAYING!
She imagines playing catch with Panda.
Donkey sings, I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
I FEEL A PASSION,
A PASSION TO BE ME!
TO BE MEEEEEEEE!
She spins on a hill.
Donkey sings, TO BE ME!
Back outside the windmill, Donkey says, PANDA, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,
I CAN'T BE LIKE FASHION PENGUIN.
THE EXCITEMENT WE FELT
CAME FROM HIM
BECAUSE FASHION IS HIS PASSION.
BUT IT'S NOT COMING FROM ME
BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT WHO I AM.
Donkey and Panda walk side by side.
Panda says, SO, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE
FASHION PENGUIN ANYMORE,
DONKEY?
Donkey says, NO.
OH, I STILL THINK HE'S AMAZING.
BUT I, DONKEY HODIE, HAVE
A PASSION TO JUST BE MYSELF.
Panda says, HEY, I LIKE THAT.
ANY OTHER PASSIONS?
Donkey says, WELL, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LOVE TUMBLE TAG!
Panda says, HEY, DONKEY! ME TOO!
HEY-O!
[Panda chuckling]
Donkey tumbles into a forward flip and tags Panda.
She says, TAG! YOU'RE IT!
[Donkey and Panda giggling]
Panda forward flips toward Donkey.
[Panda grunting]
[Bright music plays]
