Check out this super-duper big jump, Nick!
Ugh!
So close!
Watch my super-super duper-duper jump!
CAT IN THE HAT: High-five!
Ha, ha!
It'’’s the Cat!
The Cat in the Hat!
That was the highest high-five I ever saw!
(Sally giggling) We'’’re trying to jump up high and touch the moon.
Ugh!
Only we keep landing with a thump.
What goes up, must come down.
How come?
One word: gravity.
What'’’s that?
One word not enough for ya, huh?
Gravity'’’s, um... Well, I mean, it'’’s-- it'’’s-- Oh, it'’’s all around you!
Hmm.
I don'’’t see anything.
That'’’s because gravity is an invisible force that'’’s got to be felt to be believed.
When you throw something up-- Hup, hup, hup!
--gravity pulls it back down.
Oh!
Ouch!
Oof!
(Giggling) Ugh, and every jump lands with a thump!
So, there'’’s no way to touch the moon?
Not here on Earth, but I know a place where you can.
Where?
On the moon, of course.
It'’’s a great place to go jumping!
Would you like to take a trip to the moon and see how you jump there?
NICK AND SALLY: Yeah!
Your mother will not mind at all if you do!
(Giggling) Hello, Mom?
This is Nick.
Are you there?
Over!
NICK'’’S MOM: Receiving you loud and clear!
Over!
Can we go jumping on the moon with the Cat in the Hat?
Over!
(Nick'’’s Mom giggling) Sure, jumping on the moon sounds out of this world.
Over and out!
(Giggling) NICK AND SALLY: We can go!
We can go!
I know!
I know!
To the thingamajigger!
Are you ready?
Yes, we are!
Are you steady?
Yes, we are!
♪ Are you sure you'’’re ready to explore?
♪ Yes, we are!
Prepare for blast-off!
Blast-off?
Where on Earth are we going to this time?
Not Earth, Fish!
The moon!
To fly to the moon, we'’’ll need a big boost.
Then, buckle up!
(Honking) Pull the space-a-ma-racer!
Wow!
NICK: This is so cool!
Get ready for booma-blasters in 10... 9!
8!
7!
6!
We'’’re going to blast off like real astronauts!
I can'’’t wait!
Neither can I!
(Quickly): 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

♪ (Honking) CAT IN THE HAT: Welcome to the moon.
Ha, ha, ha!
SALLY: It'’’s so beautiful!
Yes, la bella luna!
Prepare for moon landing!
NICK AND SALLY: We'’’re on the moon!
We'’’re on the moon!
Please remember to wear your space helmets at all times for your protection.
(Giggling) Ahem!
It'’’s one small step for a cat, one giant-- whoa!
Are you all right, Cat?
Never better!
How come we didn'’’t land with a big thump?
Well, probably '’’cause the moon'’’s funny that way.
Let'’’s try another jump!
Okay!
Jump!
Super-duper!
Super-super-duper!
Wow, we can jump really, really high!
That looks like fun!
Wahoo!
Ha, ha, ha!
Great jumping Cat in the Hats!
Oh, I love this place.
You can'’’t do that back home!
How come we can jump up so high?
Well, uh, you see, it'’’s... Oh, if only my friend Audrey was here, she'’’d know.
Who'’’s Audrey?
That would be me!
Whoa!
Audrey the astronaut!
Audrey, good to see you!
Hello, Cat!
Wow, a real astronaut!
Oh, did I forget to say?
I'’’m Sally.
That'’’s Nick.
Pleased to meet you!
Copy that!
Pleased to meet you too.
I'’’ve never met anyone on one of my special moon walks before.
That'’’s probably because only astronauts come here.
Would you like to join me on a moon walk?
BOTH: Yes, please!
We have a "go" for moon walk!
But when I say "walk," I mean bounce!
Yay!
Whoa!
Whee!
Whoo-hoo!
Wahoo!
Yippee!
Whee!
Wahoo!
Isn'’’t walking on the moon big, bouncy fun?
Whoo-hoo!
Copy control, that'’’s an affirmative!
Ah, how come we'’’re so bouncy?
Is it that gravity thing again?
NICK: Whoa!
Roger that!
There'’’s less gravity on the moon than on Earth, so there'’’s less pulling you down!
Watch out for moon holes!
Whoo!
Yay, yahoo!
Whoo!
(Nick and Sally giggling) Ugh!
These moon holes are called craters!
NICK: Wow!
Moon walks are so different from Earth walks!
Oh!
(Grunting) Wait till you play ball here!
NICK: Come on, Cat!
Are you ready for my moon ball?
Oh!
(Giggling) Hmm.
Ha, ha!
Ugh!
NICK AND SALLY: Wow!
(Giggling) SALLY: Yeah, hooray!
Whoo!
Go, Nick, go!
Go, Nick, go!
(Nick grunting with effort) Go, Nick, go!
Go, Nick, go!
(Giggling) Ugh!
Whoo-hoo!
I never hit a home run before!
We never played moon ball before!
Look, that ball'’’s still going!
Too bad it'’’s our only one.
Hey, what'’’s that?
SALLY: Huh?
What'’’s what?
Oh, my!
An unidentified flying object!
Oh, no, that'’’s my space station.
Want to see it?
You bet!
Roger that, follow me!
To the space-a-ma-racer.
Yippee!
Welcome to my space station.
NICK: Wow!
SALLY: Ooh, spacey!
Prepare to land!
Ah, it'’’s good to be home.
(Gasping) What about your space helmet?
You don'’’t need them here.
The people who built my space station built it with lots of air to breathe.
Huh?
Your helmet, it'’’s floating!
(Giggling) So are we!
Hmm, me too!
Oh, Fish, you always float around in water.
Not like this!
(Laughing) (Gurgling, laughing) Is it gravity playing tricks on us again?
Roger that!
I wish it would make up its mind!
Gravity changes depending on where you are.
Let'’’s take a look!
Hmm, on great big planet Earth, gravity pulls you down to the ground.
So, when you jump- You land with a thump.
(Giggling) AUDREY: The moon is much smaller, so there'’’s less gravity there.
So, you can jump up really high!
And hit balls really far!
And out here in space, you can'’’t feel gravity at all.
So, you can float all day!
Ugh!
I don'’’t know about you, but floating gives me an appetite!
Snack time!
Okay!
Um, I wasn'’’t expecting company, heh, heh.
Oh, that'’’s okay.
When I get hungry out of the blue, I simply whistle for Thing 1 and Thing 2!
(Whistling) BOTH: Ta-da!
(Chattering happily) (Nick and Sally giggling) What'’’s on the menu?
Oh, my!
There'’’s so much to choose from!
Hmm?
Yes, please!
Hey, my orange drink!
(Giggling) (Clearing throat) Why, thank you!
Mmm!
Pancakes, my favorite!
Huh?
Hey, come back!
This is why we astronauts like food in closed tubes and containers.
Hmm!
(Chewing loudly) Mmm, veggie pizza!
Ruff!
I think I prefer snack time when the food stays on the plate.
And the plate stays on the table.
I agree.
Gravity'’’s pretty useful.
Try juggling without it.
(Giggling) There is a great force that you can'’’t see, pulling down you and pulling down me.
When anything falls, that'’’s gravity.
I think that'’’s swell, I hope you agree!
Goodbye, Astronaut Audrey!
Thanks for showing us your space station!
Roger that!
Come back anytime!
NICK AND SALLY: We will!
CAT IN THE HAT: Ready to exit space station in 5, 4, 3-2-1!
Wahoo!
(Giggling) I won'’’t ever look at the moon again without thinking of Astronaut Audrey!
Ugh!
Me either!
And even though we can'’’t jump as high here on Earth-- Ugh!
--it'’’s sure nice to feel gravity pulling us down again.
You got that right!
Gravity'’’s g-r-r-r-r-reat!
Ahh!
Ugh!
Ow!
Ouch!
Ah!
Most of the time.
(All laughing) CAT IN THE HAT: Isn'’’t this fun?
♪ Ready or not, here I come, Nick!
Coming to get you!
(Nick sneezing) Huh?
(Giggling) Found you!
Ugh, only because I keep sneezing, Sally.
Ah-ah-choo!
Oh!
(Cat giggling) Thanks.
You'’’re most welcome.
It'’’s the Cat!
The Cat in the-- ah-ah-choo!
Hat.
Hide and sneeze, my favorite game!
It'’’s not a game.
I can'’’t stop sneezing!
Can you help him, Cat?
I can'’’t, but I know a man who can.
Cluey Looey!
Cluey Looey?
No one solves problems like Looey.
He'’’ll know how to stop Nick'’’s sneezes.
Can we go-- Ah-ah-choo!
--see him?
Your mother will not mind at all if you do!
(Sally giggling) Mom, can Nick and I go visit Cluey Looey to find a way to stop Nick from sneezing?
(Sally'’’s Mom laughing) Cluey Looey?
Sure, honey.
A cure for sneezing is not to be sneezed at.
BOTH: We can go!
We can go!
I know!
I know!
To the thingamajigger!
Buckle up!
(Honking) Flick the jigger-mawizzer!
(Giggling) (Honking) Isn'’’t this fun?
Yippee!

♪ (Honking) There'’’s Muddyfeet Waterhole!
(Sneezing in distance) And that must be Cluey Looey!
Sounds more like Sneezy Wheezy to me-zy.
(Laughing) Oh, Looey!
Hey, Looey!
Hmm.
Oh!
(Dog sniffing) Cat!
I know you'’’re here somewhere!
Look out!
Is it Looey?
(Nick and Sally laughing) No, it'’’s a dog!
Huh?
Oh, my!
It'’’s-- oh!-- Bobby!
Cat, how are ya?
A little wet, actually.
Ha, ha!
What are you doing here?
I'’’m staying with Cluey Looey for a few days.
Where is Cluey Looey?
Oh, he'’’s working hard to solve a puzzle.
(Sneezing) Ah, there he is.
CLUEY LOOEY: Ah-ah-choo!
In his house!
Hmm.
Ah-ah... ah-choo!
Cluey Looey!
Heh, heh, Cat!
What brings you to Muddyfeet Waterhole?
My friends, Nick and Sally, need your help.
I keep sneezing.
And he wants to find out how to stop.
You'’’ve arrived at just the right time.
Ah-ah-ah-choo!
I'’’m sneezing too.
You'’’re more like Ah-choo-y Looey today!
Ha, ha!
The only way to stop sneezing is to find out what started you off in the first place.
I'’’ve been trying to track that down for days.
And what exactly have you found out?
Every sneeze starts with a tickle in the nose.
You mean like this?
Uh!
Ahh... Oh!
Itchy, itchy!
The nose sends a message to the sneeze center in the brain.
(Phone ringing) Sneeze center, Cat speaking.
How can I help you?
"Hello, this is Nose here.
I'’’m itching."
Then, the sneeze center sends out messages to the chest, throat and nose.
(Siren blaring) Nose is itching!
Nose is itching!
Then, the chest, throat and nose all work together to blast air out of the nose.
Ahem!
Ahh-pbbt!
Why did Cat close his eyes?
Nobody can sneeze with their eyes open.
Uh-oh, sneeze coming!
Uh... ah-ah... ah-choo!
Ah-choo!
Ah-choo!
You'’’re right!
Your eyes do close every time you sneeze.
But what makes your nose tickle?
If we knew what was making Nick'’’s nose tickle, we could stop him from sneezing.
Tell us, Looey!
Please do-ee!
Aha!
Mm, uh... oh.
I don'’’t know.
If only I could see what'’’s happening in my nose.
Well, we can do that!
How?
The thingamajigger can go anywhere!
Take this walkie-talkie with you so you can tell me what you find.
Will do-ee, Looey!
Press the shrinkamadoodle!
(Giggling) CAT IN THE HAT: Which way now?
Left, right, left?
No, let'’’s try right!
NICK AND SALLY: Wow!
This is not my idea of a fun day out!
Hey, we'’’re going up Looey'’’s nose!
It'’’s pretty warm in here.
And a little damp, too.
Now press the hover-abover!
(Giggling) Cool!
What are those things?
They look like big ropes.
LOOEY ON RADIO: They must be the hairs in my nose.
Whoa, big rocks!
I just breathed in some dust.
Is that what'’’s making Looey sneeze?
I don'’’t feel a sneeze right now.
Look!
Those big hairs caught it all!
The big bits of dust are sticking right to them!
Nobody likes dust up their nose.
The hairs are there to keep it out.
CAT IN THE HAT: Ahh!
They'’’re trying to keep us out, too!
Luckily, we can get around them!
Phew, close one!
Don'’’t worry, I'’’m the best pilot in the whole-- Whoa!
Looey to Cat!
ALL: Whoa!
Where are you?
I don'’’t know, but the weather'’’s terrible here, and the floor'’’s pink and wobbly.
I see light!
And teeth!
You'’’re in my mouth.
Whoa!
NICK: Awesome, heh, heh!
How did we get in there?
LOOEY'’’S VOICE ECHOING: The tube at the back of the nose runs down into the mouth.
Whoa!
(Giggling) Then, we'’’ve gone way too far.
We'’’ll head back.
Well, the Cat in the Hat is on the case.
I'’’m sure he'’’ll find out what'’’s making me sneeze.
Oh... no...
I think I feel an itch now!
CAT IN THE HAT: Do you see any itchy stuff?
There!
I see something!
SALLY: There'’’s stuff stuck to the wall!
Let'’’s take a closer look, shall we?
(Squishing sound) Hmm, maybe that was a little too close.
Don'’’t tell me.
We'’’re stuck.
Oh, we'’’re stuck, but not for long.
Are you sure that'’’s a good idea?
Ugh!
Of course it'’’s a good idea.
(Groaning) Hmm, waist-deep in mucus, don'’’t know what to do?
Time for some help from Thing 1 and Thing 2!
(Whistling) Hello!
Hee-yah!
Go!
Ah!
Ouch!
Uh-oh!
Ouuuch!
Oh, boy, I'’’m stuck!
Ugh!
Why, I thank you.
Yay!
Ha-ha!
Whee!
Cluey Looey to Cat!
Ah-ah-ah...
I'’’m going to sneeze!
Hang on, Looey!
There must be some itchy stuff here.
I see it!
There!
Aha!
I got it!
We found the itchy stuff!
Whoa!
Let'’’s go!
Can I just point out that we can'’’t go anywhere?
We'’’re totally stuck!
(All shouting) Ah-ah... choo!
ALL: Ahhhh!
Whoo-hoo!
Yippee!
CAT IN THE HAT: Touch the bigamaboodle!
Gesundheit!
(Laughing) We found this!
It'’’s what'’’s making your nose itch.
Let me see!
Hmm, hmm, ahh.
It'’’s some sort of hair, but what?
Why not use the snap-a-rama?
(Sally giggling) Dog'’’s hair!
Of course!
Now that I think about it, I only started sneezing when Bobby the bloodhound came here to visit.
Little pieces of Bobby'’’s hair went into your nose!
Dog hair can have tiny bits of skin stuck to it.
We call that "dander."
That'’’s super sneeze-making!
And the only way to get it out was... To sneeze, that'’’s the answer!
But we don'’’t have any dogs back at my house!
What makes me sneeze?
Different things make different people sneeze.
You haven'’’t sneezed once since you'’’ve been here at Muddyfeet Waterhole.
So, it must be something we have at home.
We need to get back and find out what that is!
Thanks, Cluey Looey!
Bye!
Toodle-Looey!
It starts when some stuff blows into your nose.
Then, it sticks there till an itch grows and grows.
To get rid of this itch with the greatest of ease, all you need do is have a big... NICK AND SALLY: Sneeze!
(Laughing) Hmm.
(Sniffing) It'’’s-- ah-ah-choo!
Flower pollen.
What'’’s that?
It'’’s special dust from inside those flowers.
That'’’s what'’’s making you sneeze, but you don'’’t need to stop.
Ah-ah-choo!
'’’Cause sneezing'’’s such fun, and quite useful too.
