Yes!

Now all it needs is paint.

Nick!

Wait till you see what I can do.

Whoa!

(Sighing in relief) That was close.

What are you doing?

I just finished making this mountain out of clay.

Wow, it looks really real!

And I'm not even done yet.

This mountain green paint is going to make it look like it's covered with trees.

It's so cool, almost as cool as my new yo-yo trick!

I'd really like to see it.

But maybe you should show me outside.

It's okay.

I'm getting pretty good at it.

It's called "Around the world".

Oops!

Mountain green is definitely not my color.

Aww, no.

I'm so sorry!

I'll clean this up while you get some more paint.

There isn't any more.

That was special mountain green paint.

Oh.

Don't worry.

I'm putting my yo-yo away.

Whoa!

(Gasping) Oh, no.

I'm so sorry, Nick.

I-- I need to go outside.

It was an accident.

Right, Fish?

That paint sure is slippery.

I think Nick's upset.

We better go outside and see if he's okay.

Allow me.

Whoa!

What's the hurry, Sally?

Oh, Cat, I wrecked Nick's mountain with my yo-yo trick.

Is that all?

Accidents happen, Sally.

It's not the end of the world.

Just the end of my mountain!

Did you know that some accidents can actually be good?

How can accidents be good?

Ah, I think you both need to meet my friend Sarah of Serendip.

"Sarah of Serendip"?

How can she help?

Sarah's a great inventor.

She creates all kinds of amazing things.

And she loves accidents!

Why would anyone love accidents?

And how's that going to fix my mountain?

There's only one way to find out.

Shall we meet her?

It's worth a try.

Let's go.

Your father won't mind at all if you do.

Dad, is it okay if Sally and I visit the great inventor Sarah of Serendip?

DAD: "Sarah of Serendip"?

You might be able to teach her a thing or two about inventing.

Have fun.

We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up.

(Horn honking) Flick the jigger-mawizzer.

Isn't this fun?

SALLY AND NICK: Yahoo!

♪ Here we go, go, go, go ♪ ♪ On an adventure ♪ ♪ The Thingamajigger is up and away ♪ ♪ Go, go, go, go ♪ ♪ On an adventure ♪ ♪ We're flying with the Cat in the Hat today ♪ Serendip, Serendip, such a beautiful land, where things never happen the way that you plan.

Where's your friend Sarah?

We have to look for a sign pointing to her workshop.

I think we found it.

But the arrow points in two different directions.

Which one goes to Sarah's workshop?

I'm pretty sure it's-- oh, dear-- that way.

Cat, both paths can't lead to the same place.

There has to be a right way and a wrong way.

I guess we have to try one.

But which one?

It's a toss-up.

A-ha, that's the perfect solution, Fish.

When choosing your path to explore Serendip, a coin's just the thing for a person to flip.

If it lands on heads, Nick decides.

Tails: Sally decides.

Ha-ha, tails.

Sally, you decide.

This way.

(Gasping) What is that?

Only my friend Sarah could come up with an invention like this.

"An invention"?

It just looks like something to hold pots of paint.

Maybe we'll find some paint for your mountain.

I don't see anything that looks like mountain green.

Are you sure?

Did you look at all of them?

Oops.

What did you do?

It was an accident.

"An accident"?

All right!

How you doing, Cat?

There you are, the greatest inventor in Serendip.

Cat, you always say that.

Only because it's true.

Nick, Sally, may I present Sarah?

Hi, Sarah.

So, tell me about this accident.

Uhh, I spilled some of your paint by mistake, with my yo-yo.

"Yo-yo"?

I never would have thought of that.

Let's see what you've done.

I think I'll call it "Paint falls", a waterfall made of paint.

This is exactly what I was hoping for, thanks to you.

You wanted them to spill?

Why?

See for yourself.

Wow, the colors are mixing.

If you mix red and yellow, you get orange!

I think this is one of your best inventions yet, Sarah.

The yellow paint is mixing with the blue and making-- Mountain green!

It's the exact color I need for my mountain!

Thanks for showing me how green paint is made.

It's Sally you should thank.

She's the one who made the yellow mix with the blue paint.

But it was just an accident.

Ha!

What is it I always say, Cat?

Accidents happen-- BOTH: If you're lucky!

What does that mean?

Sometimes, when accidents happen, they accidentally make you think of something you've never thought of before.

Like mixing blue and yellow to get mountain green!

Exactamundo.

Do you think you have an invention that could fix my other accident?

I also wrecked the top of Nick's mountain.

Well, why don't we go to my workshop and see?

Wow, what are all these inventions, Sarah?

I don't exactly know yet.

I'm waiting to find out.

But they're your inventions.

You've got to know what they are.

Sometimes, you need to experiment until you find out what you got.

That's the fun part.

When fun-filled experiments need to be done, it's time to get help from Thing 2 and Thing 1.

(Whistling) (Cheering) (Speaking gibberish) I'm not sure about this, Cat.

Those things are kind of accident prone.

What do I always say?

Accidents happen-- If you're lucky?

You've got it.

Come see what I'm working on.

This was going to be a pedal-powered vacuum cleaner.

But I think it could be something else.

(Speaking gibberish) (Groaning) (Muffled speaking) ♪ SALLY: Uh-oh.

NICK: Yikes.

(Gasping) That's it.

You've helped me invent the bubble-blowing bicycle.

You see, you never know what you'll find-- If you keep an open mind.

Okay, I get it.

But I don't see anything here that can fix the big hole in my mountain.

Well, then, we'll have to keep looking.

What's this going to be, Sarah?

I've mixed baking powder, liquid dish soap and a little water.

But I'm not sure what to add next.

I guess we need another accident.

Maybe Sally should do her yo-yo trick.

I'd love to see that.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Oh, Fish, there are no bad ideas in this workshop.

Okay, if you're sure... (Gasping) What a catch.

I've been looking all over for this bottle of vinegar.

I wonder what would happen if we added it to this pot.

There's only one way to find out.

Okay, kids, only adults should handle this kind of mixture.

We have to be safe.

So, put these on.

Ooh, safety goggles.

Just a smidge.

(Bubbling) Cool.

Who knew that would happen?

I think I better get a yo-yo.

You seem to get a lot done with yours.

You can have mind, if you like.

Really?

You'd let me have it?

Please take it.

I think I've had enough accidents for one day.

And we still haven't figured out how to fix the hole in Nick's mountain.

Hmm.

I know exactly how to fix it.

Sarah, can I borrow the things you mixed together?

Of course, as long as you use them safely.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

All right, everyone, are you ready?

Ready!

Ready!

Thanks to Sarah's paint falls, I found out I could make green by mixing blue and yellow.

But then I thought "Why have a green mountain when I could have a rainbow mountain?"

Ooh.

Ah.

But it still has a hole in the top.

Right.

Why make a mountain when I could make a volcano?

Bravo, Nick!

How inventive!

Is it really going to erupt like a real volcano?

I hope so.

I mixed the baking soda, water and soap just like Sarah did.

And I added orangey-red paint to make it look like lava.

Now if you just add the vinegar, we should get a volcanic eruption.

Okay, stand back, everybody.

This is so exciting!

(Bubbling) It worked!

You did it!

Well done, Nick.

Thanks to Sally and her accidents.

Well, you know what we all say.

Accidents happen-- If you're lucky.

(Laughing) (Birds chirping) (Saxophone playing) (Squealing) (Groaning) Oops, I almost did it.

Okay, this time-- ♪ Yes!

I did it!

Hey, Sally, you won't believe what-- ♪ I did it!

I did it!

(Humming) What'd you do?

I played a whole scale on my saxophone.

That's certainly a cause for celebration.

Does Sally know?

I was trying to tell her.

But she can't hear me.

Maybe if I help you shout louder-- Hey, Sally!

Wait till you hear the news!

Huh?

On the saxophone!

You don't need to shout.

You couldn't hear us through your closed window.

It's too cold to have it open.

What's up?

I played a whole scale perfectly on my saxophone.

Whoa, I knew you'd get it.

Want to hear?

Sure.

(Wind blowing) I wish we could do this with the window closed.

But then you won't be able to hear.

Hmm, how come I can see you through my closed window but I can't hear you?

I don't know.

Cat?

Hmm.

I know it has something to do with waves.

Like on the ocean?

Yes.

Wait, no.

Well, maybe, kind of.

Well, it would be great to figure it out.

Luckily, I know where to go for that: the Soundy Sea.

"The Soundy Sea"?

Doesn't that sound like a fun place to be?

If we're going to the sea, I'm in.

The Soundy Sea has no water, Fish, only waves.

Waves without water?

I'm out.

I think I'll stay here and take a bath.

Don't forget to wash behind your ears.

Dad, can we go to the Soundy Sea with the Cat in the Hat?

"The Soundy Sea"?

Well, that sounds spectacular.

I can go!

I can go!

I know!

I know!

Me too!

To the Thingamajigger!

Wait a second.

Wash behind my ears?

I don't have any ears.

Buckle up.

(Horn honking) Flick the jigger-mawizzer.

Isn't this fun?

And get ready to sail on the great Soundy Sea.

This is the strangest-looking beach I've ever-- (WHISPERING): Shh.

Be very, very quiet.

(WHISPERING): Why do we have to be quiet?

You'll see.

(WHISPERING): Is this the Soundy Sea?

It just looks like a weird line.

Pardon?

Where's the Soundy Sea?

Sorry.

I can't hear you.

'Cause you told us to whisper.

(SHOUTING): Something's wrong with my whiskers?

What's wrong with them?

Whoa!

Whoa!

(Laughing) Yippee!

Yay!

What was that?

The Soundy Sea.

It's making waves.

But it only makes waves when we make sounds.

Look.

It's so very true.

Wow, fish soundwaves?

We've never seen that before.

That's because you can only see them at the Soundy Sea.

Want to see what you can do?

Sure.

Let me try, (Horn blowing) (Laughing) That's so cool.

Sounds make a wave.

Blow it again, Sally.

(Horn blowing) (Laughing) It's the same wave as before.

Isn't it fun?

I wonder what a different sound will do.

Let's find out.

(Clanging) Cool!

I'm going to try a whistle.

(Blowing raspberry) Oh, yeah, I don't know how to whistle.

Cat?

(Inhaling) (Whistling) (Laughing) Bigger sounds make bigger waves!

And smaller sounds make smaller waves.

What great ears and eyes!

Quiet sounds and loud sounds do make different size waves.

Too bad we didn't bring our instruments.

Maybe these instruments will do.

Oompapaphone, blatterumpet.

Wow, these are great.

Thanks, Cat.

Just imagine the waves we could make if we had a whole band.

When you want to make music and you need a whole crew, who better to call than Thing 1 and Thing 2?

(Whistling) (Cheering) (Speaking gibberish) (WHISPERING): Over here.

Hmm.

A-ha!

(Giggling) Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

(Grunting) Ta-da!

(Laughing) Make some noise.

(Clearing throat) ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la ♪ ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ♪ (Blowing nose) That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

(Laughing) Let's make some real noise.

I like the sound of that!

And a one and a two, and a one, two, three!

♪ La, la, la, la ♪ ♪ La, la, la ♪ ♪ La, la, la, la ♪ ♪ La, la, la, la ♪ Whoa!

Whoa!

Hold on tight!

It's a huge soundwave!

And it's heading towards that cliff.

Huh?

Uhh, what was that?

It was the soundwave of the horn.

How did that happen?

The Soundy Sea waves hit the cliff and bounced back.

You mean like a ball bouncing on a wall?

Yeah, and look.

That big wave has pushed us back towards the shore.

Yeah, soundwaves!

I'll echo that.

I said "I'll echo that!"

ECHO: I'll echo that!

(Laughing) When soundwaves bounce back, that's an echo!

ECHO: Echo!

Help us get home!

ECHO: Home!

Safe and sound.

I can play with echoes all day.

Me too.

But we didn't come here to play with echoes.

We came to find out why we can't hear each other through closed windows.

And you know what, Sally, we did.

We did?

Yep, thanks to the cliffs of the Soundy Sea!

ECHO: The Soundy Sea!

Get it?

I think so.

Let's go home and check it out.

That's the spirit.

To the Thingamajigger!

ECHO: To the Thingamajigger!

(Laughing) (Saxophone playing) (Saxophone playing) So, when the window's open, the soundwaves go right through.

And I can hear things.

But when the window was closed, the soundwaves hit the window and bounced back, just like the cliffs at the Soundy Sea.

Sounds about right.

(Laughing) Hmm, but I don't see any soundwaves.

They're invisible here.

That's why I took you to the Soundy Sea, so you could see the sounds.

See?

(Laughing) So, as long as your window is closed, the sounds I send out will always bounce back.

That means we can't play together unless our windows are open.

Unless-- Unless what?

Hmm.

Unless we make a hello hose!

What's a hello hose?

Hello?

Nick?

Can you hear me?

Ooh, it's working!

Hello, Sally.

You're coming in loud and clear.

One, two, three, four, Sally, can you hear me?

Sally, send me a sign if you can hear me.

♪ La, la, la, la, Sally ♪ Cat, do you hear me?

You two are so clever!

I got to say Sally's hello hose works great.

That's because the sound goes in one end and all the way to the other end.

Woo-hoo!

(Laughing) Hey, Sally, want to play together?

Do I?

Oh, to be carried away on waves of beautiful music.
