The sun shines on a colourful stone path in a field filled with yellow and red wildflowers. A windmill stands in the middle of a small town surrounded by rolling hills. The windmill rotates in a gentle breeze.

Kids sing,
HERE COMES DONKEY HODIE
HEE-HAW!
DONKEY HODIE
SHE LOVES ADVENTURE,
SHE LOVES SURPRISE
WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM,

The song continues,
DONKEY HODIE

Purple Panda says, HEYO!

The song continues,
DONKEY HODIE

SOMEPLACE ELSE

Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW!

Text reads, Donkey Hodie

Text reads, “Squibbit”

Purple Panda, a purple panda bear with a wide smile, and Donkey Hodie, a yellow donkey with a purple mohawk, walk along a fence line in a rolling green field.

Donkey says,
YEEHAW! FINALLY TIME TO START
REHEARSING FOR THE BIG CONCERT!

Panda replies,
OH YEAH.
OH BUT WAIT!
WE DON'T HAVE
A BAND NAME YET.

Donkey adds,
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT!
BANDS ALWAYS HAVE
HEE-HAWESOME NAMES.
LIKE, UH,
SCREAMIN' AUNT MIMI
OR UH, APPLESAUCE BOSS.

Panda says,
OH YEAH!
SO, UH, WHAT ARE WE
GONNA CALL OURSELVES?

Panda responds,
HMM...
HEY, I KNOW!
HOW ABOUT...
"DONKEY AND PANDA"!

Panda nods quickly as he turns away from Donkey.

He says,
AH--MMM HMM.
IT'S REALLY...

Donkey asks, WHAT?

Panda turns back to Donkey

He replies,
WELL...
DONKEY AND PANDA DOES
HAVE A NICE SOUND...
BUT WHAT IF WE FLIP THE SOUND
AND WE PUT PANDA FIRST...
SO THAT IT'S
"PANDA DONKEY"!
MMM. NOW THAT'S A GREAT
NAME FOR A BAND!

Donkey looks unsure.

She responds,
UHH.
I THINK IT SORTA KINDA
SOUNDS BETTER THE OTHER WAY...
DONKEY AND PANDA.

Panda says,
HMM...
PANDA AND DONKEY.

Donkey repeats, DONKEY AND PANDA.

Panda says, PANDA DONKEY.

Donkey adds, DONKEY PANDA!

Panda replies, PANDA DONKEY!

Donkey says, DANDA PONKEY!

Panda responds, PONKEY DANDA!

Donkey and Panda shout,
DANDA PONKEY! UH!

[Both laugh]

Panda says,
ACTUALLY, DONKEY, HA HA,
"DANDA PONKEY"
SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD!

Donkey replies,
YEAH! IT DOES!
I'M SO SORRY,
PURPLE PANDA.
I DIDN'T THINK TO ASK YOU
HOW YOU'D FEEL
IF MY NAME CAME FIRST...

Panda responds,
OH, IT'S OKAY, DONKEY.
I DIDN'T THINK TO ASK YOU
HOW YOU'D FEEL IF
MY NAME CAME FIRST...

Donkey adds,
BUT WITH NO ONE'S NAME FIRST,
IT WORKS FOR BOTH OF US.

Panda says,
YEAH! AND IT'S A SUPER
COOL BAND NAME, TOO!
WELL, THAT WAS EASY!
YEAH! COME ON,
LET'S GO PRACTICE.

Donkey and Panda walk into Donkey’s windmill house.

Donkey holds an electric guitar.

She says,
OKAY.
I, DONKEY HODIE...

Panda sits at a drum set.

He adds,
AND I, PURPLE PANDA...

Donkey and Panda shout,
WILL NOW PRACTICE
FOR OUR CONCERT!

Panda counts, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Donkey and Panda play upbeat music. Panda smiles widely as he drums.

Donkey says,
OH YEAH!
DANDA PONKEY IS
SOUNDING HEE-HAWSOME!

Donkey and Panda continue to practice.

A distant voice says,
SQUIBBIT!

Donkey and Panda stop playing. They look at one another.

Donkey asks,
PANDA?
WHY DID YOU SAY SQUIBBIT?

Panda replies,
WHAT?
I DIDN'T SAY SQUIBBIT!
I THOUGHT YOU
SAID SQUIBBIT!

Donkey says,
NOPE. WASN'T ME.

Panda looks confused.

He adds,
UH, WELL,
IT WASN'T ME EITHER.

Donkey asks,
SO THEN,
WHO SAID SQUIBBIT?

Donkey and Panda look around Donkey’s house. A piece of bread sits in the toaster and a beach ball lays on a chair.

Donkey and Panda look at one another and shrug.

They say, HMM...

Panda lifts up his drum sticks.

He counts, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Donkey and Panda play upbeat music.

The voice shouts, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey looks startled.

She responds,
WHA?
THERE'S THAT SOUND AGAIN!
WHERE'S IT COMING FROM?

Donkey and Panda look around her house again. A penguin with a large red beak sits in the window.

Panda says,
UH, DONKEY,
I THINK THERE'S A PENGUIN
IN YOUR WINDOW.

Donkey replies,
I THINK SO TOO, PANDA.

Donkey and Panda walk over to the penguin.

Donkey says,
EXCUSE ME,
LITTLE PENGUIN.
DID YOU JUST SAY SQUIBBIT?

The penguin glances at Donkey and Panda.

The penguin shouts,
SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

Panda says,
UH, WELL, THAT
SOLVES THAT MYSTERY!

Donkey replies,
AWW. SHE'S SO CUTE...
PENGUIN, WOULD YOU
PLEASE NOT SAY SQUIBBIT,
SQUIBBIT, WHILE WE
PRACTICE OUR MUSIC?

Panda adds,
YEAH.
SEE, WE HAVE THIS BIG DANDA
PONKEY CONCERT COMING UP, SEE,
AND WE NEED TO FOCUS
SO WE CAN PRACTICE.

Penguin does not move.

Donkey says,
WE REALLY NEED
TO PRACTICE.
SO SHOO,
LITTLE PENGUIN.
PLEASE SHOO!

Penguin jumps down from the window.

She shouts,
SQUIBBIT!

Donkey says,
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
THAT PENGUIN
WAS VERY CUTE,
BUT ALL THAT SQUIBBIT-ING
IS SUPER DISTRACTING.

Panda replies,
YEAH.

He lifts his drumsticks.

Panda counts, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Donkey smiles as he drums. Donkey stands on an amp as she plays her green and purple guitar.

Panda says, OH, YEAH!

Donkey adds,
GO, PURPLE PANDA, GO!

Panda responds,
YOU GO TOO, DONKEY!

Donkey shouts,
WE ARE GONNA BE
THE HEE-HAWSOM-EST BAND
IN ALL OF SOMEPLACE ELSE!

Penguin says,
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey and Panda exchange glances.

Donkey asks,
BUT. BUT HOW?
IT'S NOT IN THE WINDOW.
WHERE IS THAT PENGUIN?

Panda stands beside Donkey. They look confused.

Panda nudges Donkey.

Panda whispers,
UH, DONKEY? LOOK.

Penguin sits on Donkey’s kitchen table.

She says, SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey asks,
UGH! WHY DID SHE
COME BACK IN HERE?

Panda adds,
YEAH!
AND WHY DOES THE LITTLE
PENGUIN KEEP SAYING
SQUIBBIT SQUIBBIT?

Donkey replies,
MAYBE SHE
WANTS SOMETHING.

Panda asks, LIKE WHAT?

Donkey looks deep in thought.

She responds,
HMMMM.
WELL, IF I WAS A PENGUIN,
MAYBE I'D BE...
HUNGRY?

Panda says,
YES! THAT'S IT!
I BET SHE'S HUNGRY!
OH, IF I WAS
A LITTLE PENGUIN
AND I ATE SOME FOOD,
I'D STOP SAYING
SQUIBBIT ALL THE TIME.

Donkey replies,
BUT IF WE WERE PENGUINS,
WHAT WOULD WE WANT TO EAT?
HMM...
HA! OF COURSE!

Donkey picks up a red apple.

She says,
I THINK I MIGHT
WANT AN APPLE!

Donkey offers the apple to Penguin. Penguin shakes her head.

She says, SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Panda scratches his head.

He says,
UH, DONKEY, UM, I THINK YOU
MIGHT WANT A DIFFERENT FOOD
IF YOU WERE
A PENGUIN.

Donkey replies,
LET'S SEE WHAT
ELSE WE HAVE.

Panda says, YEAH!

Penguin watches as Donkey and Panda rush around Donkey’s kitchen.

Donkey asks,
HOW ABOUT A MUFFIN?

Panda asks, SOME NOODLES?

Donkey asks, A NICE SANDWICH?

Panda asks, ICE CREAM CONE?

Donkey asks, CHEESEBURGER?

Panda asks, BERRIES?

Donkey asks, PIZZA?

A variety of foods lay around Penguin on the kitchen table. Penguin sniffs a bowl of noodles. Donkey rubs her hands together as Penguin eats a noodle.

Panda says,
SHE LIKES IT!
HEY, DONKEY!

Donkey adds,
PROBLEM SOLVED!

Panda responds, HEY-O!

Donkey replies,
HEE-HAW!
AND NOW BACK TO
BAND PRACTICE!

Panda says, YEAH!

Panda sits behind the drums.

He counts, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Donkey and Panda play upbeat music.

Penguin shouts,
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey and Panda respond, UGH!

Donkey asks,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN,
WHAT WOULD I WANT?
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK...

Penguin stands in Donkey’s living room.

Donkey sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHY DOES IT GO
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT?

Panda sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHAT CAN WE GIVE IT?
GIVE IT?

Donkey sings,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN
I MIGHT FEEL REALLY THIRSTY
AT LEAST THAT'S
WHAT I KINDA THINK

Panda sings,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN
AND I FELT REALLY THIRSTY
I THINK I'D WANT
SOMETHING TO DRINK!

Donkey holds up a glass with an umbrella in it.

She says,
LET'S GIVE HER
A BLUEBERRY SHAKE!

Panda responds,
OOH!
BLUEBERRY SHAKES ARE YUMMY!

Penguin shouts,
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey says,
OKAY, THAT'S NOT IT...

Panda sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHY DOES IT GO
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT?

Donkey sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHAT CAN WE GIVE IT?
GIVE IT?

Panda sings,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN
WHO WAS BORED IN THE SNOW
I MIGHT WANT TO READ
A NICE BOOK

Donkey sings,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN
WHO WAS BORED
IN THE SNOW
I MIGHT GIVE
A GOOD BOOK A LOOK!

Panda says,
MAYBE SHE WANTS
TO HEAR A STORY!

Penguin shouts,
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Panda shakes his head.

He responds,
OKAY, THAT'S ALSO NOT IT.

Donkey sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHY DOES IT GO
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Panda sings,
WHAT WOULD A PENGUIN WANT?
WHAT CAN WE GIVE IT?
GIVE IT?

Donkey sings,
IF I WAS A PENGUIN
NOT FEELING SO SNAPPY
I MIGHT WANT TO
TAKE A NICE NAP.

Panda sings,
THAT SOUNDS
OKIE-DOKIE TO ME
A NAP OUGHTA MAKE
A PENGUIN HAPPY!
IT'S NAPTIME,
LIL' PENGUIN!

Panda and Donkey tuck Penguin into a small bed. Penguin sits up.

She shouts, SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey says,
HMMPH!
WE KEEP TRYING
AND TRYING AND TRYING...
BUT NOTHING'S WORKING.

Donkey picks up Penguin.

Donkey says,
PENGUIN, WE REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY
NEED TO PRACTICE!
CAN YOU PLEASE
JUST BE QUIET?

Penguin turns away from Donkey and walks out the front door.

[Door opens and closes]

Donkey and Panda look shocked. They turn to one another.

[Sighs]

Panda counts, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Donkey and Panda play upbeat music.

Penguin shouts,
SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey screams,
ARGH!
NOW WHERE IS THAT
NOISY LITTLE PENGUIN?

Panda looks around Donkey's house.

He says,
UH, UM, DONKEY...
YOU GOT A LITTLE
SOMETHING RIGHT THERE...

Panda points to his head. Donkey looks up. Penguin sits on her head.

Penguin says, SQUIBBIT!

Donkey shouts,
AHH!
ALL WE WANNA
DO IS MAKE SOME MUSIC
AND PRACTICE
FOR OUR CONCERT,
BUT THIS ADORABLE PENGUIN
JUST WON'T LET US!

Penguin jumps off Donkey’s head.

Panda asks,
OHHH! WHY WON'T SHE LET US?
WHAT DOES SHE WANT?

Donkey adds,
THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK...
PANDA...

Panda replies, WHAT?

Donkey says,
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE TRYING
TO THINK UP COOL BAND NAMES?
AND I DIDN'T ASK HOW YOU FELT
ABOUT MY NAME COMING FIRST?

Panda responds,
OH YEAH.
AND I DIDN'T ASK HOW YOU FELT
ABOUT MY NAME COMING FIRST.

Donkey continues,
BUT THEN...
WHEN I FINALLY FOUND OUT
WHAT YOU WERE THINKING...

Panda adds,
OH! AND I FOUND OUT WHAT
YOU WERE THINKING...

Donkey and Panda shout,
WE SOLVED OUR PROBLEM!

Panda says, YEAH!

Donkey replies,
I BET IF WE JUST ASK
THE PENGUIN WHAT SHE'S THINKING
INSTEAD OF TRYING
TO GUESS...
SHE MIGHT TELL US!

Panda responds,
YEAH!
IF WE WANNA KNOW WHAT
THE PENGUIN'S THINKING,
THERE'S ONLY ONE
WHO WOULD KNOW.

Donkey and Panda say,
THE PENGUIN!

Penguin approaches Donkey and Panda.

Donkey asks,
PENGUIN.
WHY DO YOU KEEP
SAYING SQUIBBIT?

Panda adds,
CAN YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU WANT?

Penguin nods.

She shouts, SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

Penguin picks up a red and gold accordion. She smiles up at Donkey and Panda. They look confused.

Donkey and Panda respond, HUH?

Penguin takes a deep breath and plays the accordion.

[ Accordion music plays ]

Donkey and Panda look shocked.

Penguin finishes playing

She shouts, SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

Donkey responds,
THAT'S WHAT THE CUTE
LITTLE PENGUIN
WANTED THIS WHOLE TIME?
TO JOIN OUR BAND?

Panda says,
NO WAY!

Donkey asks,
PENGUIN, IS THAT REALLY
WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY?

Penguin says,
SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

She plays the accordion. Panda and Donkey look excited as they glance at one another. Penguin stops playing. She nods.

Penguin says,
SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

Panda responds,
HEY, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD!

Donkey adds,
YEAH! OH, WE'RE SO SORRY!
ALL THIS TIME, WE
SHOULD'VE JUST ASKED YOU
WHAT YOU WERE THINKING!
WOULD YOU JOIN OUR BAND? PLEASE?

Panda says,
OH YEAH!
WE'LL EVEN CHANGE
OUR NAME TO INCLUDE YOU!

Donkey says,
OH SURE!
WE CAN CALL OURSELVES...
THE DANDA PONKEY
PENGUIN BAND!

Panda replies,
YEAH! NICE, DONKEY!
THAT SOUNDS
EVEN BETTER!

Penguin hops up and down.

She says, SQUIBBIT! SQUIBBIT!

Donkey, Panda, and Penguin practice in Donkey’s house.

Donkey shouts,
OH YEAH!
NOW THIS IS ONE
HEE-HAWESOME SOUNDING BAND!

Panda adds, YEAH!
