[Upbeat music plays, birds sing]

Paths lead to houses in a small village on a grassy hill. Four sails on a windmill rotate slowly.

Singers sing, HERE COMES DONKEY HODIE.

Donkey Hodie, a yellow donkey with a purple mane and long eyelashes, exits the windmill through a doorway.

Donkey says, HEE-HAW!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

A person sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE, SHE LOVES SURPRISE. WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM, SHE TRIES AND TRIES.

[Slide whistle]

The singers sing, LET'S GO, DONKEY HODIE.

The person sings, IF SHE FAILS, SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK. COME ON, DUCK DUCK, GIVE A QUACK.

In front of Grampy Hodie’s house, Donkey jumps onto a drum and bounces off. Grampy Hodie watches her bounce up in front of Duck Duck in the sky.

[Slide whistle]

Duck Duck, a green duck, quacks, KEE-KEE! QUACK!

The singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

In Bob Dog’s front yard, Donkey and Bob Dog, a brown dog, ride on top of bouncing balls.

On a sunny day, a blue dragonfly flutters past orange flowers.

[Joyful music plays]

Panda sings, ON MY WAY TO DONKEY'S, GOING TO PLAY WITH DONKEY, GOING TO PLAY WITH DONKEY, YES, I AM!

[Giggling]

Panda stands on top of a hill and looks down.

Panda says, OH! HEY, UH, DONKEY!

In her garden beside the windmill, Donkey balances a pineapple on her head. She wobbles on her left leg and then carefully steps forward.

Donkey says, HI, PANDA!

Panda asks, ARE YOU READY TO PLAY?

Donkey replies, NOT QUITE YET. I GOTTA FINISH MY PINEAPPLE WALK FIRST...

Panda runs down the hill to Donkey.

[Whooshing, slide whistle]

Panda says, WAY TO GO, DONKEY! THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST PINEAPPLE WALKS I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!

[Laughing]

Donkey says, THANKS!

Donkey tilts her head forward, and the pineapple slides off.

[Slide whistle, Donkey giggling, birds chirping]

Donkey says, YOU KNOW, GRAMPY ALWAYS SAYS, YOU'LL FEEL HEE-HAWESOME WHEN YOU SET A GOAL AND THEN YOU ACHIEVE IT.

Panda asks, A GOAL? THIS PANDA LOVES A GOAL! SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO...

Donkey says, AND TRY HARD TO DO IT!

[Panda giggling]

Donkey says, AND I SET A GOAL TO DO THE PINEAPPLE WALK THIS MORNING, AND I DID IT, AND I FEEL HEEE-HAWESOME.

Donkey says, PANDA! I GOT YA.

Donkey helps Panda to his feet.

[Panda grunting]

Panda says, OH, THANK YOU, DONKEY.

[Sighing, birds chirping]

Panda says, I DID NOT COMPLETE MY GOAL.

Donkey says, HMM. YOU KNOW, WHEN I HAVE A GOAL, THERE ARE USUALLY DIFFERENT PARTS TO DOING IT. SO, I THINK ABOUT ALL THE PARTS I HAVE TO DO BEFORE I START. LIKE, WHEN I WANTED TO DO THE PINEAPPLE WALK,
FIRST I NEEDED A PINEAPPLE.

Panda says, OH, YEAH.

Donkey says, AND THEN I BALANCED IT ON MY HEAD, AND THEN I STARTED AT THE DOOR AND WALKED SO SLOWLY
IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

Panda says, OH, I SEE! DIFFERENT STEPS TO TAKE! SO, IF MY GOAL IS TO CLEAN UP MY TOYS, THEN FIRST I NEED MY TOY BIN.

[Slide whistle, giggling]

Panda runs away and returns with a turtle shell-like bin. The outside of the bin is dark orange with light orange spots, and the inside is shiny silver.

Panda says, TAH-DEE!

Donkey says, YOUR TOY BIN!

Panda says, MMM-HMM.

Donkey says, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP.

[Donkey giggling]

Donkey and Panda arrive at Panda’s purple spaceship.

Donkey says, SO, WHAT ARE SOME MORE GOALS FOR US, PANDA MY FELLOW GOALIE PAL?

Panda says, HMM...GOALS FOR US...GOALS FOR...

[Panda gasping, cheerful music plays]

Panda walks to two large purple bongo drums in his yard.

Panda says, OH! WELL, I JUST HAD MY BIG-O BONGOS DELIVERED YESTERDAY, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT
THEM IN THE SPACESHIP YET, BECAUSE THEY'RE SO HEAVY.

[Birds chirping]

Donkey says, WELL, THEN THAT'S OUR GOAL. TO GET THE BIG BONGOS INTO YOUR SPACESHIP, BUT NOW WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT THE STEPS TO COMPLETE IT, FELLOW GOALIE!

Panda says, HMM. YEAH.

Panda runs back to the bongo drums.

[Slide whistle]

Panda says, OKAY, NOW THE BIG-O BONGOS ARE, WELL, REALLY BIG.

Donkey plays a bongo drum.

[Panda giggling]

Donkey walks backwards, carrying her end of the drums through the doorway.

Donkey says, sounding strained, I LOVE DOING STEPS.

Panda cheers, HEY-O!

Donkey says, HEE-HAW!

The door slides shut behind them. It reopens, and Panda and Donkey leave the spaceship.

Panda says, EH, HM...

Red, yellow, and blue blocks are scattered on top of rocks.

[Donkey gasping, birds chirping]

Donkey says, PANDA, THE BLOCKS.

[Panda gasping]

Both say, OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER AS TALL AS US!

They both walk to the blocks.

[Whooshing, birds chirping]

Panda says, UM, ACTUALLY A QUESTION BEFORE WE START, FELLOW GOALIE.

Donkey says, HMM?

Panda says, EH, WHAT ARE THE STEPS THAT WE NEED TO COMPLETE THIS GOAL?

Donkey says, OH, WELL, FIRST WE NEED A LOT OF BLOCKS...

Donkey and Panda nod at each other.

Both say, HMPH.

Donkey says, OKAY.

Panda says, HEY-O!

Donkey chants, FINDING GOALS!

[Upbeat music plays]

Panda stops walking by rolling hills. Donkey stops beside him.

Panda says, DONKEY.

Donkey says, HUH?

[Majestic music plays]

Panda says, I THINK I FOUND THE NEXT GOAL AND IT'S ONE WE'VE WANTED TO DO FOR A LONG, LONG TIME!

A beam of sunlight shines between Donkey and Panda. It illuminates a golden basketball stuck in a rock.

Donkey says with awe, EXCALIBALL, THE BALL STUCK IN THE STONE.

Panda says, WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO FREE THAT BALL FROM THE STONE FOR SO LONG!

Donkey says, YEAH, SINCE LAST WEEK.

[Upbeat music plays]

Panda says, SO, THIS IS OUR NEW GOAL. IT WILL BE HARD, FELLOW GOALIE. CAN WE DO IT?

[Grunting]

Donkey says, UGH, THE BALL WON'T BUDGE!

Panda says, LET ME TRY.

Panda tugs on Excaliball.

[Upbeat music plays, grunting, creaking]

Panda grunts, IT'S REALLY STUCK!

Donkey says, OH, NO, NO, NO, WAIT, WAIT, HOLD ON.

Panda lets go of the ball.

Donkey says, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT STEPS WE NEED TO DO TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL. RIGHT, FELLOW GOALIE?

Panda says, RIGHT, FELLOW GOALIE. SO, WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO FREE EXCALIBALL FROM THE STONE?

Donkey says, HM. WELL, ONE STEP CAN BE I CAN PUSH FROM THIS SIDE.

Panda says, OH, AND ANOTHER STEP CAN BE THAT I CAN PULL FROM THAT SIDE.

Donkey says, LET'S DO IT!

[Grunting, dramatic music plays, slide whistle]

They both let go of Excaliball.

Donkey says, THIS IS A REALLY HARD GOAL.

[Gentle music plays]

Panda says, out of breath, YEAH. THERE'S GOTTA BE ANOTHER STEP WE'RE MISSING THAT CAN HELP!

Donkey says, OH, WHAT CAN HELP? UH, HEY, MAYBE WE CAN PUT SOMETHING SLIPPERY ON THE BALL SO IT'LL SLIDE OUT AS WE PUSH IT AND PULL IT?

Panda says, OH! LIKE THIS!

Panda reaches down and picks up a bottle full of green liquid. A picture on the label of the bottle shows bubbles.

Panda says, SLIPPERY SOAP! NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT!

[Panda giggling]

Panda squeezes the soap onto Excaliball.

[Squelching, upbeat music plays]

Panda says, OKAY, NEW FIRST STEP IS POUR THE SOAP AROUND THE BALL.

Panda puts the soap on the ground.

[Panda giggling]

Panda says, AND SECOND STEP, PUSH THE BALL. AND PUSH.

[Panda grunting]

Donkey says, AND THIRD STEP, PULL THE BALL!

Excaliball pops out of the stone and flies up into the air.

[Grunting, slide whistles, gasping]

Donkey says, MMMM... AHH!

Panda says, WHOA.

On a playing field, a penguin with referee stripes walks past a goalpost.

The penguin referee sings, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. DA DA DA DA DA DA DA D-.

Excaliball flies towards the playing field.

[Slide whistle, penguin gasping, majestic music plays]

Excaliball lands in the goalpost.

[Smacking]
