CHILD: Mini Smiley!

DESCRIPTION: On the title card, a ship attached to a hot air balloon sails across the sky. Below, a ribbon-like rainbow road leads towards distant islands.

[Episode Title] Let's go bananas.

[Upbeat music plays]

DESCRIPTION: On an island, three monkeys bob up and down. A red monkey in the centre is up when the green monkey and the blue monkey on the sides are down. The smiling monkeys hold bananas in front of their mouths, the ends turned up like smiles. The monkeys dance. A lion, a blue bear, and a tiger watch, open-mouthed.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

DESCRIPTION: The blue monkey runs to the lion and holds the banana in front of their mouth. The blue monkey sits on the lion’s back, the red monkey sits on the bear’s back, and the green monkey sits on the tiger’s back. Each monkey holds a banana up as all the animals sway.

[Song] Okay, guys, this is a fun song. I want you to sing along. Are you ready? The words are simple. Don’t be shy, so don't be shy.

DESCRIPTION: Bananas fall, and the three monkeys dance on the sand. A green-haired mini smiley and a red-haired mini smiley with pigtails imitate the monkey’s dance. Behind the monkeys, the smiling tiger and lion peer over rocks and sway.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

DESCRIPTION: The tiger and lion jump over the rocks and land on each side of the monkeys. The big cats step aside and move away as the monkeys roll their hands and turn from side to side. The two mini smileys dance in sync with the monkeys as the tiger and the lion dance towards them. The mini smileys look at each other and smile.

[Song] Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Okay, guys, this is a fun song. I want you to sing along. Are you ready? The words are simple.

[Chimes]

DESCRIPTION: The green mini smiley touches the lion on their shirt, and sparkles appear. The monkeys stop dancing, and their mouths fall open as a shadow falls over them.

[Song] Don't be shy, so don't be shy. Let's go bananas.

[Bananas rustle]

DESCRIPTION: A giant banana glows as it floats in the ocean. The monkey’s eyes turn into hearts, and they run and stand beside the mini smileys. The red monkey holds two bananas. Bananas fall.

[Song] Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me, "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

[Water splashes]

DESCRIPTION: The monkeys bob up and down the giant banana. They hold their bananas in front of their mouths like smiles. They twirl, and the tiger, bear, and lion surface in the water by the floating banana. The two mini smileys jump into the water.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah."
