Tally-ho!
What ho?
This looks like a perfect tree for a treehouse.
Hmm.
Y-shaped tree, strong, sturdy branches.
Ah, it'll work.
Let's go, folks.
Time to build our treehouse.
Tally-ho!
"Try to build your platform close to the trunk, and check to make sure it's even."
Looks pretty even to me.
Did you just have that on you?
Oh, you mean Tennis Bally?
Of course.
A good dog has a tennis ball on him at all times.
"Always follow the form of the tree "to allow for the tree's growth and movement.
Never bend or cut branches to make room for the treehouse."
(Clearing throat) Uh, Nature Cat?
(Chuckling, whistling) Yep, these safety railings look high enough to keep anyone from falling out.
Wow, you really get a bird's eye view from up here, don't you?
I'd recommend putting some soft mulch at the bottom of that ladder.
You know, just in case somebody slips.
Mulch, smulch.
What kind of cat would I be if I couldn't climb down a-- Whoa!
(Imitating trumpet blaring) I present to you our treehouse, house, house.
Ta-dee, dee, dee.
Ha-ha!
Let's go.
Tally-ho!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm in.
Do you think we'll see any camouflaged animals?
NATURE CAT: Maybe you're seeing them right now.
Whoa.
You just blew my mind, man.
Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet.
Nothing goes on in the inside secret world of birds and trees?
Am I doing something wrong?
What's going on?
One thing about trees is the quieter you are, the more you'll see.
Nature is quite literally all around us.
(Chattering) Hey, listen.
I hear squirrels.
Hi, squirrelies.
It's me, Hal.
(Leaves rustling) Oh, and I hear leaves blowing in the breeze.
And smell that fresh air in the breeze.
Whoa.
Sounds, smells.
Now, what do we see?
What is that?
Where?
I only see a bunch of branches and leaves.
Look closer.
Right there.
SQUEEKS: Huh!
It's an ant.
Cool!
It's eating the sap stuck to that leaf.
Uh, guys, does that leaf appear to be moving to you?
That's not a leaf.
It's a treehopper.
Fun fact: They're insects that suck out plant juices and leave behind tiny sap deposits for the ants to feed on.
Aw, it's like a sweet little snack that came out of a bug.
Yuck.
