Ready or not, here I come!

(Giggling) You can't hide from me this time, Nick.

I'll seek and I'll seek until I find you.

Are you over... here?

Where can he be?

(Giggling) Aha!

Ugh, Fish, have you seen Nick?

I could tell you, but that wouldn't be fair.

I know.

(Sighing) The trouble is, Nick's way too good at hiding.

I'll never find him.

NICK: Give up?

Huh?

(Nick laughing) Hmm.

Here I am!

(Laughing) I didn't see you there.

Ooh, now you can hide, Sally.

Uh, uh, uh!

She's still It until she finds me.

CAT: Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four!

That sounds like the Cat!

But where is he?

CAT: 3, 2, 1!

Ready or not, here I come!

(Laughing) Found you!

(Nick and Sally laughing) Don't you just love playing Hide and Seek?

It's not as much fun when the person you're seeking is impossible to find.

No matter how hard I look for Nick, I never find him.

You'll be It forever!

Hmm, maybe there are other ways to find things.

Other ways than looking?

Like what?

Well, I don't know that, but I do know a sensational place where you can find out all about successful seeking.

It's called Tagaloo!

If I find out how to be a better seeker, I won't be It all the time.

Let's go!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do.

Mom!

Can we go to Tagaloo with the Cat in the Hat to find out how to be a better seeker in Hide and Seek?

MOTHER: Well, you know what they say.

"Seek" and you shall find.

(Laughing) We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) 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 ♪ ♪ Tagaloo is a sensational place we can go where you'll find the best hider and seeker I know.

(Nick and Sally laughing) So, where's this special someone who's going to teach Sally all about seeking?

Before you answer that question, Cat, what is that?

That just happens to be the best hider and seeker you'll ever find.

It's called a Tagaloop.

(Chewing) Baa, ha ha!

It also likes baa-ble gum more than anyone I've ever known.

(Sniffing) Ha-ha!

Baa-ble gum!

Smells like strawberry.

Yup, that's its favorite flavor.

I don't care what flavor the gum is.

I need to talk to that Tagaloop about seeking.

Mmm, mmm!

Hey, Tagaloop!

Ahh!

Come back!

Baa, baa, baa!

Oh, my.

I forgot how jumpy they can be.

But I need to know how to be a great seeker, and that means I've got to find that Tagaloop.

Uh, which way did it go?

I see it, there!

(Laughing) Good eyes, Nick.

(Laughing) Huh?

(Laughing) Come back here, Tagaloop!

Come here!

Huh?

Oh, we lost it.

If we could just get close, we could explain that it doesn't need to be afraid of us.

(Rustling) (Popping sound) Did you hear that?

It sounded like a baa-ble gum pop.

Maybe it came from that cave!

Let's go.

I don't see anything.

Well, this is where the pop sound came from.

Aha!

So, because you heard the pop, you think you might find the Tagaloop in there.

Yes, listen!

(Popping sound) TAGALOOP: Baaa!

There, did you hear that?

Follow that sound!

(Tagaloop giggling) (All panting) Did you see where it went?

Uh-uh.

(Sighing) I don't hear anything, either!

I hear nothing.

Ooh, maybe it's hiding in one of those bushes.

CAT: That rascally rascal!

Which bush could it be?

Everyone, split up!

(Laughing) Hey, Nick!

I found something that might be a clue.

What is it?

It feels soft and wooly.

And it's the same color as the Tagaloop!

Maybe it came by here and this bit of wool got stuck on the branch.

So, it could be from the Tagaloop!

And the Tagaloop could have come this way.

TAGALOOP: Baa!

(Popping sound) Baa!

FISH: Look, there it goes!

We're never going to catch up with that Tagaloop.

It keeps running away.

When you're seeking a Tagaloop on a wild run, you just might get some help from Thing 2 and Thing 1!

(Whistling) (Things giggling, chattering) BOTH: Ta-da!

Hello, Things!

We'd like you to round up that wild Tagaloop, if you please.

(Indistinct chattering) Uh-huh!

(Things chattering) (Tagaloop laughing) (Giggling) (Things chattering) (Panting) Well, thanks for trying, Things.

But maybe you tired it out and we can catch up to it now!

Look, it's just around that rock!

(Giggling) Let's go!

Come back, you silly Tagaloop!

I need to find out-- (Gasping) (Tagaloops bleating) Oh, no!

Look at them all.

How many do you think there are?

How are we going to find the right Tagaloop?

Well, we can't find it by looking, because they all look the same.

And we can't find it by listening because they all sound the same.

And they all feel the same, too.

Ahh, they're so soft and wooly.

All right, maybe we can't find our Tagaloop by feeling or listening or looking.

(Sniffing) But there's another way we haven't tried yet.

There is?

Do tell!

Smell!

(Sniffing) I bet... (Sniffing) ..there's only one Tagaloop... (Sniffing) ..that smells like strawberry baa-ble gum!

Hmm.

(Sniffing) (Gasping) Strawberry!

Found you!

(Popping) Ha, you did find me.

Great game!

Huh?

You mean you were playing Hide and Seek the whole time?

That's what Tagaloops do.

Did I forget to mention that?

Oh, hello, Cat!

Hmm, I guess I'm It now.

Because Sally found you!

(Laughing) You know, I hope I'm as good a seeker as you are, Sally.

You used your senses to find me.

My senses?

What are my senses?

Our senses help tell us about what's around.

Like seeing a sight, or like hearing a sound.

By the smell or the taste or the touch we can tell, what we're close to or far from, now isn't that swell?

So, when I used my eyes to see you, or my ears to listen for you... Or your nose to smell my baa-ble gum...

I was using my senses!

That's what I say.

You're sense-ational!

(Laughing) So, want to play again?

Hmm?

I'd love to, Tagaloop, but I was actually in the middle of a game back home, and I think I should finish that one.

Oh, okay.

But whenever you want to play, you know where to find me!

(Laughing) Oh, oh, oh, oh!

And before you go, how about some baa-ble gum?

Go ahead.

It tastes delicious.

Mmm.

Strawberry!

(Laughing) My favorite!

(Chewing) (Popping) Okay, Sally, you're still It!

Oh, I won't be It for long.

Oh, yeah?

You hide, and I'll find you.

Game on!

10, 9, 8, 7...

Isn't this exciting?

..3, 2, 1!

Ready or not, here I come!

Are you over here?

(Laughing) (Popping) (Giggling) Hmm.

(Sniffing) Found you!

You're It!

(Nick laughing) Wow, Sally, you really found me fast this time.

That's because I didn't just look for you.

I listened for you popping your gum, then I just followed my nose.

(Sniffing) Strawberry baa-ble gum!

Sensational!

Using all your senses instead of just one, makes a lot of sense.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

(Chewing) That friendship bracelet is looking very nice, Sally.

Thanks, Fish, and it's not even done yet.

Wait till I add this extra-special bead.

Ooh, sparkly!

(Laughing) Let's see-- yikes!

Ahh!

Gotcha.

Sorry, Fish.

Are you okay?

Yeah, thanks to Sally.

I just wanted to see your special bead.

(Gasping) I don't have it!

I must have dropped it when I caught Fish.

Sorry, Sally.

Don't worry, we'll find it.

I think it's just getting buried deeper in the sand.

You're right, this isn't working.

(Sighing) I've got to find a better way.

Huh?

(Cat laughing) Ah!

Find a better way?

To do what?

Did you say?

Cat!

We're so glad you're here.

I need to find a better way to find my special bead.

It was my fault she lost it in the sand.

Hmm.

Pondering, pondering.

Pondering... ah!

A new way to find a lost bead in the sand.

I've got it!

I've got it!

A Whole Lotta Funhouse!

Now, that's where you'll find a way to find your lost bead.

All right!

Let's go!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can Nick and I go to the Whole Lotta Funhouse with the Cat in the Hat?

I need to find a way to find my bead.

MOTHER: That sounds fun.

Just remember to find your way back to our house in time for supper.

We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) 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 ♪ ♪ When you're finding a new way to find your lost bead, the Whole Lotta Funhouse is just what you need!

So, what do we do?

We go up to the top floor, and then down to the bottom floor.

SALLY: So, we come down that super curvy slide?

The trick is not to go down the slide.

(Cat laughing) Once you get inside the Whole Lotta Funhouse, you have to find a way through it, from top to bottom.

All right, let's go!

BOTH: Wow!

Welcome to the Stupendous Strainer floor.

It's just a room with dots on the floor.

What's so hard about getting across it?

Wait!

It can't be that easy.

There might be some reason we shouldn't just walk across.

The Whole Lotta Funhouse is tough to get through.

So, let's test it out with Thing 1 and Thing 2.

(Whistling) BOTH: Whee!

BOTH: Hello!

Huh?

Ohh!

They aren't dots, they're holes!

Where did they go?

BOTH: Whee!

(Laughing) (Laughing, cheering) Ta-da!

(Laughing) If we just walked across the floor, we would have fallen through the holes like the Things did.

And we would have gone down that slide!

And then, I wouldn't find a way to find my bead.

Look how much you've figured out already!

Okay, let's give this a try.

Be careful!

Step around the holes.

Whoops, whoa!

Ha!

(Cat grunting) Thanks.

I thought I was going to fall through, but I didn't fit.

And I just figured out something else!

What did you figure out?

The Things fell through the holes because they're smaller than the holes, but Nick didn't because he's bigger than the holes.

So, we should be able to cross the floor without falling through.

BOTH: We did it!

Hmm.

What are you looking at, Sally?

This floor reminds me of something.

(Gasping) I know!

The thing my mom pours the spaghetti and water into.

Oh, you mean a strainer!

The water goes through, but the spaghetti doesn't.

Maybe that's why they call this the Stupendous Strainer floor.

On to the next floor!

It's gonna be so easy.

All we have to do is watch out for holes.

(Laughing, cheering) (Gasping) Watch out for holes?

This floor is all holes.

Welcome to the Fascinating Filter floor.

The holes are so big, we'll fall through for sure!

If only there was a way to make the holes smaller.

Why, that's an amazing idea!

Let's do that!

Wait, how are we gonna do that?

(Sighing) Oh!

(Whirring) Cat, you just moved something.

Can you do that again?

There's only one way to find out.

(Grunting, groaning) (Whistle blowing) It's making the holes smaller!

Nick, stand here so I can measure.

The holes need to be smaller than this.

There, that's good!

Now, we can get across.

BOTH: We did it!

You did!

(Laughing) Does this floor remind you of something, too?

(Sally gasping) Yes, a tennis racket!

Whatever it looks like, we got across without falling through.

(Laughing, cheering) Now, all you have to do is zip through that exit, and you'll have made it through the whole Whole Lotta Funhouse.

Then, I'll find a way to find my bead!

Whoo-hoo!

Ha ha!

Yeah!

Hee hee!

FISH: Yahoo-hoo-hoo!

Whee!

(Laughing) CAT: My turn!

(Grunting) I seem to be in a bit of a pickle.

I can't go any farther.

Can you make the hole bigger so you can get through?

Argh!

This hole won't get bigger.

What else can I try?

Can you make yourself smaller so you can get through?

I'll think small thoughts.

Mice, ants, eensy-weensy spiders.

Nope, it's not working.

Well, if one way doesn't work, I'll just find another way.

Another way?

CAT: Yahoo!

(Cat laughing) Whoopee!

(Laughing) Well, you three got through, so three cheers for you!

But we were supposed to help Sally find a way to find her bead.

And you did!

I have an idea!

You do?

Oh, do tell!

The Things are the smallest of all of us.

THINGS: Uh-huh!

And they fell right through the holes in the Stupendous Strainer floor.

But I didn't fall through!

Right!

Then, on the Fascinating Filter floor, we would have fallen through.

Because the holes were big!

So, we made them smaller.

And Cat's the biggest of all of us, so he's the only one who couldn't get through the last hole.

Because it was too small!

(Gasping) Cat!

I think we're like sand, and you're like my bead!

I'm like a bead?

I don't get it.

Come on, you'll see!

So, are you gonna play tennis or strain spaghetti?

(Sally giggling) Neither, Cat.

We need something with holes in it, just like the Whole Lotta Funhouse, but the holes have to be big enough to let the grains of sand through, and small enough to stop my bead from falling through.

And that's how you're gonna find it in the sand.

Right!

Now, this bead is the same size as the one I lost.

We can use it to test if it gets caught by the strainer or the tennis racket.

My, aren't you clever!

Let's try the tennis racket first.

The sand fell through, but so did the bead.

The holes are too big.

The strainer has smaller holes.

Maybe it will work!

The sand is going through.

NICK: But not the bead!

That means we can use the strainer to find my special bead!

I'll hold it while you pour the sand.

NICK: Nothing yet!

Don't give up.

Try another pail!

My bead!

The strainer worked!

BOTH: We did it!

You certainly did.

Now, I can finish my friendship bracelet.

There!

Here you go, Cat.

Ah!

For me?

Well, if you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have found a way to find my bead.

And isn't helping what friendship is all about?

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Look at that bead sparkle.
