Felix wears a blue hoodie over a striped shirt in front of a building with text that reads, tvokids presents.

Felix asks, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

In a window of the building, Annie wears a pink dress.

Annie says, YES AND HE'S A MOUSE.

In a window above Annie, Dr. Cheddar wears a stethoscope. He waves.

A narrator says, YOU’LL FEEL BETTER WITH DR. CHEDDAR.

Text on the building reads, Dr. Cheddar.

[Bright music plays]

In his office, Dr. Cheddar looks at pictures in a picture album.

Dr. Cheddar says, I
REMEMBER THAT DAY SO WELL.

He looks at a picture of himself with Felix and Annie.

[Dr. Cheddar chuckling]

[Ringing]

Dr. Cheddar looks started. He taps a key on his keyboard.

He says, DR. CHEDDAR HERE TO
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.

In a video call on Dr. Cheddar’s tablet, Felix says, HI, DR. C.

In his bedroom, Felix is surrounded by his things.

Dr. Cheddar says, OH, WHY HELLO FELIX.
SPRING CLEANING?

Felix says, KINDA, MY MOM WANTS ME TO GET
RID OF SOME OF MY OLD STUFF.
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE?

[Dr. Cheddar gasping]

Dr. Cheddar says, OH HOW ABOUT THAT COZY
LOOKING BLANKET BACK THERE, HMM?

Felix says, THIS ONE?
THAT'S MY BABY BLANKET.
IT KEPT ME REALLY WARM AT NIGHT.

He rests his head on his baby blanket.

Dr. Cheddar says, AND, MY LITTLE NEPHEW WOULD
LOVE THAT HOCKEY SWEATER.

Felix says, HUH?
OH, OH, I WORE THAT ON MY
FIRST TRIP TO THE DOG PARK.

Dr. Cheddar says, AND I THINK I'D TAKE
THAT RUBBER CHICKEN TOO,
IF YOU DON'T MIND.

Felix says, I GOT THAT ON A TRIP TO
THE WORLD'S LARGEST DOG BONE.
OH, I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT
DOCTOR C, IT'S TOO SPECIAL.
EVERYTHING'S TOO SPECIAL.
GOTTA GO, BYE.

[Clicking]

Dr. Cheddar says, OH, WELL I GUESS I'LL
CHECK OUT LATER THEN.

He taps a button on his keyboard.

[Clicking]

In his bedroom, Felix tries to pull his hockey sweater over his head. His ears stick out the top.

[Felix grunting]

Felix leaves the sweater on his head.

[Felix sighing]

Felix says, IT MUST HAVE
SHRUNK IN THE WASH.

He nods. At night, Felix lies his bed. He pulls his baby blanket over his chest. His feet stick out the bottom.

Felix says, HMM?
OH, MY BLANKET IS TOO SMALL TOO.

During the day, Felix holds his rubber chicken.

He says, AT LEAST THIS IS STILL THE SAME.

Felix squeezes the chicken.

[Rubber chicken squeaking]

[Felix laughing]

[Rubber chicken squeaking]

[Felix sighing sadly]

Felix says, THIS WAS MORE FUN BEFORE.

On a video call with Dr. Cheddar, Felix seems sad.

He says, DR. CHEDDAR, I HAVE A PROBLEM.

Dr. Cheddar says, LET'S HEAR IT, FELIX.

Felix says, I LOVE MY STUFF,
BUT IT FEELS DIFFERENT
NOW FOR SOME REASON.

Dr. Cheddar says, WELL, THAT'S
BECAUSE YOU'VE GROWN.
SOME THINGS ARE TOO
SMALL FOR YOU NOW
AND OTHER THINGS, WELL,
THEY JUST MIGHT NOT INTEREST
YOU THE SAME WAY
THAT THEY USED TO.

Felix says, BUT I HAVE SO MANY SPECIAL
MEMORIES, WITH EVERYTHING.

Dr. Cheddar says, AND YOU'LL HAVE THOSE FOREVER.

Felix says, SO…

He scratches his head thoughtfully.

He says, …HMM.
MAYBE IT'S TIME
FOR SOME OTHER PEOPLE TO
MAKE SOME SPECIAL
MEMORIES WITH MY STUFF.
DR. C, ARE YOU STILL
INTERESTED IN MY RUBBER CHICKEN
AND MY HOCKEY SWEATER
AND MY BABY BLANKET?

Dr. Cheddar says, I'LL BE RIGHT OVER
WITH MY SHOPPING CART.

[Dr. Cheddar chuckling]

Dr. Cheddar adds, OH AND FELIX, I'M PROUD OF YOU.

Felix says, THANKS, DR. C.

Dr. Cheddar ends his call.

[Clicking]

He says, THIS IS DR. CHEDDAR,
HOPING YOU FEEL BETTER
ABOUT CLEANING OUT YOUR CLOSET.

[Dr. Cheddar chuckling]

[Soft music plays]

Felix, Dr. Cheddar and Annie watch fireworks go off in the sky at night.

They say, WOAH!

Dr. Cheddar says, WOW, LOVELY.
