[Cheerful music plays]

A yellow creature on the top deck of a bus says, MILLIE.

[Gulls calling]

A pink creature on a sailboat says, TIMBER.

A blue creature piloting an airplane says, ZO.

Everyone says, THE TREEBEES!

Episode title: “Caterpillars and Butterflies.”

On a title card, a butterfly spreads their green wings. Each wing has a pink circle at the top and bottom.

An announcer says, CATERPILLARS AND BUTTERFLIES.

[Playful music plays]

The green and pink butterfly flutters above autumn treetops. The sun and a cloud watch and smile. The butterfly lands on Millie’s hand.

Millie sings, BUTTERFLY FLYING SO FREE, SO FREE. BUTTERFLY FLYING SO FREE, SO FREE. BUTTERFLY FLYING SO FREE, SO FREE. AWAY INTO THE SKY.

The butterfly flutters away. By a mountain range, Timber watches a caterpillar inch across a branch.

Timber sings, CATERPILLAR CRAWLING ON A BRANCH, ON A TREE. CATERPILLAR CRAWLING ON A BRANCH, ON A TREE. CATERPILLAR CRAWLING ON A BRANCH ON A TREE. DO YOU EVER REALIZE…

A caterpillar sits on Zo’s nose. Butterflies flutter around the Treebees.

The Treebees sing, CATERPILLARS AND BUTTERFLIES MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT CATERPILLARS WILL ONE DAY RISE TO BECOME BUTTERFLIES.

A butterfly flutters to a caterpillar on a tree branch.

The Treebees sing, CATERPILLARS CRAWLING ON A BRANCH, ON A TREE. BUTTERFLIES FLYING SO FREE, SO FREE. CATERPILLARS CRAWLING ON A BRANCH, ON A TREE. DO YOU EVER REALIZE…

A blue caterpillar stands on Millie’s finger. Butterflies fly to the Treebees, and the green and pink butterfly flutters beside the caterpillar.

The Treebees sing, CATERPILLARS AND BUTTERFLIES MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT ON THE OUTSIDE. BUT CATERPILLARS WILL ONE DAY RISE TO BECOME BUTTERFLIES.

Millie looks at three caterpillars on a branch. Three cocoons hang beneath them on the branch.


The Treebees sing, HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW? HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW? HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW ONE DAY YOU'LL REACH THE SKY.

Millie points at a butterfly fluttering past, and the three caterpillars watch it. Millie shows the caterpillars a book titled “Caterpillars and Butterflies.” They open the book and show a caterpillar on a branch. On the next page, the caterpillar is in a cocoon, and text reads, “Metamorphosis.” The next page shows the cocoon, and text reads, “Pupa.” The last page shows a butterfly beside the open cocoon. The butterfly flies off the page.

The Treebees sing, HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW? HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW? HEY THERE KIDS, DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW? ONE DAY YOU'LL REACH THE SKY.

Timber and Zo each hold a snuggling butterfly and caterpillar. A purple caterpillar sits on Millie’s nose.

The Treebees sing, CATERPILLARS AND BUTTERFLIES MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT CATERPILLARS WILL ONE DAY RISE TO BECOME BUTTERFLIES. TO BECOME BUTTERFLIES.

On the underside of the branch, a caterpillar enters a cocoon.
