00:00This episode is made possible in part by ABC Mouse.
00:30Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street.
00:32Open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better by working together.
00:39It's a simple message and it comes from the heart.
00:44Oh, believe in yourself, for that's the place to start.
00:48Start and I say, hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
00:53You learn to work and play and get along with each other.
00:58Hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
01:01Hey, what a wonderful kind of day.
01:03Hey!
01:04Hey, D.W.
01:07Hey!
01:08Whoa!
01:24This year is kind of a weird Thanksgiving.
01:26We've never had this many people before.
01:28Look at all these new faces.
01:31I don't even know half these people.
01:36Nothing at all like past Thanksgivings.
01:39Last year, our only guests were Grandma Thora and Grandpa Date.
01:44We didn't even have Pal.
01:46And the year before that, Kate hadn't been born.
01:53I sort of remember the year Aunt Minnie visited us.
01:57That was the year when the turkey fell onto the table.
02:01We called it Table Turkey.
02:04It was still really good.
02:06Thanksgiving has never been like this.
02:09I mean a fireman and a goat.
02:12But I'm happy they're all here.
02:14Today, they all feel like family.
02:22An Arthur Thanksgiving.
02:24Pal, let me up.
02:42I can't feel my feet.
02:43I can't feel my feet.
02:45Aw.
02:47Aw.
03:01Let's see.
03:02Turkey, sweet potatoes, grits and corn pudding, cheesy bacon brussel sprouts.
03:08Smells good.
03:09What's for breakfast?
03:11Leftover spaghetti from last night.
03:13Leftovers?
03:14If Thanksgiving dinner is going to come together, I need full use of the kitchen.
03:18Wait.
03:19Where are the cranberries?
03:23We have to stay out of Dad's way.
03:25You know how he gets when he's cooking on Thanksgiving.
03:28Can I have cereal?
03:30Sorry, we're not allowed to use any bowls or spoons.
03:33I think he's lifted the ban on using the sink.
03:36But I don't want to risk it.
03:39Hey.
03:40No begging.
03:41He's not begging.
03:42He's just saying hello.
03:44He's saying hello to my meatball.
03:49Pal has been getting a little grabby lately.
03:53Yesterday, he took D.W.'s sandwich.
03:55Her plate was on the floor.
03:57And he ate one of Kate's teething biscuits.
04:00He shouldn't take food from Kate.
04:02He's not taking it.
04:05She's giving it to him.
04:08Ooh, is that the cheesy bacon brussel sprouts?
04:11Blah.
04:12I made a double batch this year.
04:15Blah.
04:16Blah.
04:16Sheesh.
04:20Ow.
04:20No.
04:23Down, boy.
04:26That dog is out of control.
04:28He is not.
04:30He just loves bacon.
04:34Hello?
04:35Minnie.
04:36How was the flight?
04:39Okay.
04:40Tell the cab driver it's 562 Main Street.
04:44Great.
04:45See you soon.
04:46Who's Minnie?
04:48She's your aunt.
04:49She's coming for Thanksgiving.
04:51All the way from France.
04:53I don't have an aunt, Minnie.
04:54Yes, you do.
04:55You just forgot.
04:57She's my sister.
04:58You were very little the last time she was here.
05:01Are there any other secret relatives you're hiding from me?
05:04No.
05:05What about cousin Octopal?
05:07Who?
05:08He has eight tentacles instead of hands.
05:11He's just teasing you.
05:13Arthur, stop teasing D.W.
05:14D.W.
05:15I think we're going to have to keep Pal in your room during dinner.
05:24So he doesn't bother people while they're eating.
05:26No.
05:27He has to have Thanksgiving with us.
05:29I'll run him around and tire him out after the parade.
05:33He won't bother anyone.
05:35We'll see.
05:37I'll get you some spaghetti.
05:39Wait.
05:40I need these plates.
05:41But all the other plates are in the dishwasher.
05:43Sorry.
05:50Fine.
05:50I'll just put the brussels sprouts in here and use this.
05:59Pal just stole Kate's meatball.
06:02Arthur, this is exactly what I was talking about.
06:05Pal, drop it.
06:09Here's half of your meatball, Kate.
06:12No, sweetie.
06:13You can't have that after it was in Pal's mouth.
06:15Maybe we'll run around outside now.
06:32You're not going to eat off the table anymore, right, pal?
06:37Good.
06:38Hello, old friend.
06:50Nemo, I'm not interested in your foolery today.
06:54Where did he go?
07:01Oops.
07:02How bumbling of me.
07:03I keep dropping these acorns.
07:06You're doing it on purpose.
07:11Good show.
07:13Almost.
07:17Here, boy.
07:18Let's go.
07:22One day, Nemo.
07:24I will catch you.
07:25What time do you have to be at the Thanksgiving Parade?
07:36It starts at 11, but Mr. Rappern wants us to meet at 10 to rehearse.
07:41Okay.
07:42Eat up.
07:43We leave in five minutes.
07:44Am I coming, too?
07:46No.
07:46You'll stay here and watch the parade when it comes down our street.
07:50Maybe Aunt Minnie would enjoy watching it with you.
07:57Is Aunt Minnie the one who sang all those songs that time?
08:01No.
08:01Aunt Minnie is the one who sent us those coloring books for Christmas.
08:05Of the stained glass, remember?
08:07No.
08:08And the wooden puzzle of the old French cars?
08:11Oh, yeah.
08:14Wait.
08:15And you sang that song about the caterpillar.
08:17Did she have a pink hat?
08:20Yes.
08:21That was someone at the mall selling yogurt.
08:23Oh.
08:24I liked her.
08:25Sorry, pal.
08:35No more people food.
08:37But you can rinse the sauce off my plate.
08:41Pal, sit.
08:44Good boy.
08:47Totally trained.
08:48My cheesy bacon brussel sprouts.
08:57Arthur!
09:01What did pal do now?
09:04Arthur, come down.
09:07Pal ate an entire plate of my cheesy bacon brussel sprouts.
09:11What?
09:12Licked the plate clean.
09:14That dog is a menace.
09:16I left him one second ago.
09:20It only took one second for him to eat three pounds of organic brussel sprouts.
09:25He didn't mean to.
09:27Please take him out.
09:37Happy Thanksgiving.
09:40Pal just ate all the yucky brussel sprouts.
09:42And my dad is going to send them to the pound.
09:45Whoa.
09:47I'm not sending him to the pound.
09:49Are you having Thanksgiving with us?
09:52No.
09:52We're going to my Aunt Mabel's.
09:54But we're not leaving yet.
09:56I'm here to stay out of the way while we pack the car.
09:59Oh.
10:00And to give you this cornbread from my ma.
10:03Keep it away from Pal.
10:05He's eating everything in sight.
10:07Blah bleep bloop.
10:08Blah bleep bloop.
10:10Bad dog bleep blah.
10:11Blip bleep bloop.
10:13Bacon blip bloop.
10:14Who are you?
10:29I'm Arthur.
10:31I'm your Aunt Minnie.
10:32Hi.
10:33Happy Thanksgiving.
10:34I won't force a hug on you.
10:36There's nothing worse than hugging a stranger.
10:40Except for shaking a hand that's covered with tomato sauce.
10:45Sorry.
10:45You've grown taller since I last saw you.
10:49And you're no longer wearing diapers.
10:51I presume.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Nah.
10:54So, shall we take all this fun inside?
10:58Okay.
11:10Oops.
11:11I dropped it.
11:13Nemo.
11:13I am not in the mood for shenanigans.
11:16You are chained up, aren't you?
11:18What did you do?
11:20Nothing.
11:21With no provocation at all, Arthur's dad started yelling at me.
11:24And then Arthur was yelling.
11:26I'm mystified.
11:28I think Arthur is one of those mean boys.
11:31He is not.
11:33I think he has a cruel streak.
11:35Arthur is the kindest boy in the world.
11:39He's inside gorging on Thanksgiving dinner while you're out here chained up in the cold.
11:45You're wrong.
11:46But not only is it unseasonably warm up, but...
11:50I'm not chained up anymore.
11:53Oh.
11:54Oh.
12:00And then two days in the city, then it's back to Paris.
12:05It's so great to see you.
12:07Oh, it's been too long.
12:10That's the mystery, Aunt.
12:11Two came out of nowhere.
12:13Whoa.
12:15Arthur, tell Aunt Minnie about the Thanksgiving parade.
12:18At my school, we made a float for the parade.
12:21Do you know the nursery rhyme, Hickory Dickory Dock?
12:25Yes, about Hickory Dick Cromwell, who was the king of England for only one year.
12:31Uh, maybe that's a different one.
12:33The one we're doing is about a mouse who goes up a clock, and then he runs down again.
12:37Okay.
12:40And Arthur was chosen to be the clock.
12:43I get to ring the bell.
12:44Well, that is an honor.
12:46Congratulations.
12:47The parade comes down our street, so you can watch it right out front.
12:52Uh, I'd like to rest before that.
12:54There's nothing worse for jet lag than a marching band.
12:57Of course.
12:58I have plenty to do in the kitchen.
13:00Our dog just ate all the cheesy bacon Brussels sprouts.
13:03He did.
13:04I put them in a container with a lid.
13:07Uh, wait.
13:08What container?
13:13Well, are you two gonna come out and say hello to me?
13:17She knows we're here.
13:22You may call me Aunt Minnie.
13:25Well, you may call me Missy W.
13:29And, uh, you may call me, uh, Bud?
13:33Hello, niece D.W.
13:37And, Bud.
13:39It's nice to meet you.
13:44Go!
13:48He was licking the plate clean.
13:50No, I put your Brussels sprouts in this container.
13:53What?
13:54That was my spaghetti plate.
13:56Oh, phew.
13:57I thought I was gonna have to make the whole batch again.
14:00Poor pal.
14:01I chained him up for nothing.
14:03Can I bring him back inside?
14:05Yes.
14:10Pal, you can come back in.
14:15Pal?
14:19Woo-hoo!
14:21Almost.
14:23Almost.
14:24Close one.
14:36Too slow.
14:43Catch me if you can.
14:44Ugh!
14:47Can't catch me.
14:49Hold up for a moment.
15:10And let you bite me?
15:12No!
15:13Oh, I'm not going to bite you.
15:15I want to pet your fur in the wrong direction.
15:25Ah!
15:25Oh!
15:25Oh!
15:26Oh!
15:27Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:29Oh!
15:30Oh!
15:30Oh!
15:31Oh!
15:31Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:33Oh!
15:34Oh!
15:35Oh!
15:36Oh!
15:37Oh!
15:37Oh!
15:38Oh!
15:39Oh!
15:40Oh!
15:41Oh!
15:42Oh!
15:49Haha!
15:50Keep trying, pal.
15:52You'll catch me one day.
15:54Hahaha!
15:54Oh!
15:55Oh!
15:56Oh!
15:56If only the vet hadn't trimmed my nails!
15:59Good riddance, you horrible creature!
16:03Oh!
16:05Oh!
16:06Oh, I better head home for Thanksgiving dinner.
16:08Arthur will be wondering where I am.
16:10Ah. Which way was it?
16:17Pal? Where are you?
16:20Pal?
16:21I didn't see him.
16:24No sign of him that way, either.
16:26What do we do?
16:27We'll keep looking. He's probably close by.
16:31Dave, will you call Mr. Ratburn and tell him we'll be a little late?
16:35I'm on it.
16:36Arthur?
16:37Good luck.
16:40Ah. The bustling modern city.
16:51Huh.
16:56So many smells. So little time.
16:58Oh, hello. Oh, you little perrito.
17:17Oh, where's your collar?
17:19Will you come home with me?
17:20Oh, you're very fluffy.
17:27Would you like an empanada?
17:29Huh?
17:29Okay. Brain check it is.
17:33So this is my room. That's my Mary Lou cow oven. That's my princess ladybug puppet. That's my dollhouse.
17:41Oh, I see. You have all the essentials.
17:43You can play with my toys, as long as you don't break them.
17:47That's a good rule.
17:49How long are you staying here?
17:51Oh, just for one night.
17:52Then I'm going to Grandma Thora's.
17:55I have to sleep on a car.
17:57I know. I appreciate the sacrifice you're making for me.
18:01Now, you two leave me alone, please.
18:03It was a long flight, and I would like to rest up a little bit before I start breaking some toys.
18:09Was she joking?
18:17I think she was joking.
18:20I don't know.
18:22I can never figure out, grown-ups.
18:30All you mice, gather around over here.
18:34Madonna's not here. Or George.
18:36They have Thanksgiving plans with family and won't be joining us.
18:40Muffy and Mr. Crosswire are on their way.
18:42They'll be towing our float behind a very special vehicle from his car dealership.
18:47Where's Arthur?
18:48Arthur will be a little late.
18:50Now, first, costumes.
18:52I'm glad to see all you mice are wearing gray.
18:55Yes, was all I had.
18:57Oh, hi, everyone.
18:59Sorry I'm late.
19:00Oh, man.
19:02That's your mouse costume?
19:04Oh, I'm not a mouse.
19:05I'm riding in the car that's towing the float.
19:08I'm the official Crosswire Motors Thanksgiving queen.
19:12Now, I have mouse tails here for everyone.
19:15Clip them to your shirts.
19:16Get a friend to help.
19:19Oh, mine has a knot.
19:24I can wag my tail.
19:27Mine doesn't work.
19:29Oh, I got it.
19:30I'm wagging, too.
19:32Here's my ride.
19:36Whoa.
19:38Here it is.
19:39My Cherry Bomb Red Drill Master 5.
19:43Sweet ride.
19:44Cool.
19:45Thank you for driving the tow vehicle, Mr. Crosswire.
19:49What better way to spend Thanksgiving than behind the wheel of this beautiful old car?
19:54Muffikins, pop in.
19:56Most of the time I'll do the one-handed wave.
20:00But for special occasions, I do the two-handed wave.
20:05Cool.
20:06Is that our flow?
20:07This is it?
20:11Listen up, you mice.
20:13You will be sitting here on these benches.
20:16One at a time, you will run up to the clock where Arthur, who'll be inside, will chime the bell.
20:22And then down you run back to your seat.
20:25That's not a very loud bell.
20:29Hmm, you're right.
20:31I'll need to find a better one.
20:32And then they ran off that way.
20:36That's the direction of the parade.
20:38We might as well go meet your class.
20:40Maybe we'll see pal over there.
20:42I can help look.
20:43I don't have any plans.
20:45Sure.
20:50Those people have a guinea pig.
20:54Those people cook with curry.
20:58Wait a moment.
20:59Bacon, diapers, lavender hand soap.
21:05Is that my family?
21:08No.
21:09Oh, that house uses a different laundry detergent.
21:12And mustache wax?
21:16It is so tricky finding people in this big town.
21:19Back, you stay back.
21:21Don't try anything.
21:22Just keep moving.
21:24I won't.
21:25I will.
21:26Hey, hey.
21:33No hard feelings, okay?
21:35I'm just keeping my family safe.
21:37I won't bother them.
21:39You know, it's actually quiet around here.
21:41So, I'm glad you came by.
21:43Keeps me in shape.
21:45You hungry?
21:46Well.
21:47Come on, come on.
21:48I'll show you something.
21:49Look at all this food.
21:57Ah, it's my Thanksgiving meal.
22:00My family gives me all the leftovers because they need room in the fridge.
22:03Is this a whole turkey?
22:08Mm-hmm.
22:09That's my special Thanksgiving treat.
22:11It's a turkey for vegetarians.
22:14There are no bones inside.
22:16What will they think up next?
22:18Help yourself to anything you want.
22:20Oof.
22:20I'm stuck.
22:22Arthur doesn't want me to eat people food, but I am feeling a bit peckish.
22:26Go on, go on.
22:31Maybe something small.
22:33One or two of these, uh, tortellini.
22:36Oh, that should help with the hunger pangs.
22:58Thank you again.
22:59Anytime.
23:01Well, I must be off.
23:03Oh, dear.
23:04I'm leaving pesto footprints everywhere.
23:06Oh, well, I'll take care of them for you.
23:21How's the face painting coming?
23:24Have you children turned into mice yet?
23:26Squeak, squeak.
23:29Very mossy, you two.
23:31I did mine without a mirror.
23:34You don't say.
23:36Is a vampire mouse okay?
23:39A little late for Halloween, but maybe we can get away with it.
23:42Just no biting.
23:44Alan, what's this?
23:46I thought I could draw a mouse more accurately on paper than on my face.
23:50True.
23:51I do, but I don't want you falling off the float.
23:53Give yourself some eye holes.
23:57There's your class, Arthur.
23:58You should go join them.
24:00I feel like I should keep looking for Pal.
24:02I'll keep looking on Main Street, and Mrs. Pendergrass can ask around in stores.
24:06I promise you'll come and tell me if you find him.
24:10I promise.
24:17Sorry I'm late.
24:18Pal is missing, and we've been looking all over for him.
24:21My mom and neighbor are looking for him, so...
24:24Well, we're glad you're with us.
24:27Now that we have our clock, we can run through this.
24:30Arthur, this will be your position here, inside the clock.
24:32Is she sleeping?
24:40Is she sleeping?
24:48Hey!
24:49Her phone is on Trolley!
24:51Wait, we shouldn't go in.
24:53I just want to move him.
24:59Aunt Minnie has heavy feet.
25:01Just leave it.
25:03I can't.
25:05How would you like to be crushed by a big foot?
25:10Who's there?
25:12Run!
25:12Yeah!
25:15This car is amazing.
25:18Even the tires are clean.
25:20Binky, you have to stay on the float for safety reasons,
25:23especially when we start moving.
25:26All right.
25:30Hey!
25:31What's this candy?
25:33That candy is for tossing to the parade watchers,
25:35but everyone may take one piece.
25:40Let's practice this.
25:42Ready in there, Arthur?
25:43I can't see.
25:45Am I facing the right way?
25:46Yes, and we will cut you some eye holes before the parade starts.
25:50Fortunately, Alan has become an expert.
25:53All right.
25:54Francine, you're the first mouse.
25:55Hickory dickory dock.
25:58Don't flap your arms.
25:59You're not a buzzard.
26:01The mouse ran up the clock.
26:03The clock struck one.
26:06That's your cue, Arthur.
26:08Arthur, you ready?
26:10Sorry.
26:11Now?
26:11Yes.
26:12The clock struck one.
26:17What was that?
26:19A duck?
26:20The clock sounds weird.
26:22It does sound weird.
26:24I'll have to get something better than a kazoo.
26:26And down she runs.
26:28That's when you scurry back to your seat, Francine.
26:31Hickory dickory dock.
26:34That's all there is to it.
26:36Pal!
26:38Oh.
26:41Mr. Ratburn, I want to do this,
26:44but I'm too worried about Pal.
26:46I can't have fun with some lost out there.
26:48I need to keep looking.
26:50Of course, Arthur.
26:52You know, Patrick's shop is very close by.
26:54I know a way he can help.
26:56Come with me.
27:00Take five, everybody.
27:03Five?
27:04He said we could take five.
27:06Yay!
27:07Hooray!
27:13Patrick is a wizard on this machine.
27:16I'll say thank you for helping us.
27:19Of course.
27:21Now, how would you describe Pal?
27:23He's loyal.
27:24He's afraid of thunder.
27:26He sleeps with his nose in my shoe.
27:28He means, does he have any identifying characteristics?
27:32Oh.
27:32He's fluffy, has golden hair,
27:35and he has a spot in his belly that looks like a pumpkin.
27:40Good.
27:41Now print 50 copies.
27:43We'll hang them up all over.
27:45I can take some.
27:46Me too.
27:47If anyone sees Pal,
27:49they'll know how to contact you.
27:51I don't like the smell of this place.
28:03I don't like the smell of this place.
28:04I don't like the road that's wiped out.
28:06I don't like the smell of this place.
28:08I don't like the monster,
28:10but we can Windows have been hai.
28:14Stay away!
28:15Hey, did you see that cute little puppy?
28:25That was close.
28:27At least now I am perfectly safe.
28:30Whoa!
28:30Ah!
28:31Ah!
28:36I'm vlogging to you from the ninth annual Thanksgiving Day Parade
28:42from the best seat in the house.
28:43A Cherry Bomb Red Drill Master 5 from Crosswire Motors
28:48where car prices will never be inflated.
28:52But something that is being inflated is Gobbler,
28:56the floating turkey from Garvin's Goat Farm.
29:00Gobbler is one of the most beloved stars of this year's Thanksgiving Parade.
29:04And I'm the other.
29:06I'm Muffin Crosswire and I'll be back soon with more parade excitement.
29:11Now I want to get a shot of you and the car from the outside.
29:16You're the boss.
29:24All right, children, I'm back.
29:26The rest of your costumes have arrived.
29:28Are those the mouse ears?
29:30Antlers?
29:31Yes.
29:33Actually, no.
29:36Antlers?
29:39Oh, dear.
29:40Instead of mouse hats, they sent moose hats.
29:43This is no good.
29:44And there is no time for a replacement.
29:47Can I wear it anyway?
29:49Me too.
29:50Hickory, dickory, duck.
29:52The moose ran up the clock?
29:54Please.
30:03Fine.
30:04But not when you need to look like mice.
30:06Now, there's been a change.
30:07One of you will need to be the clock.
30:09I'll do it.
30:10Thank you, Alan.
30:12How come Arthur's not going to be the clock?
30:15Can I put my poster on your card?
30:18Oh, this is my little perrito.
30:21I saw him.
30:22When?
30:23It was a little while ago.
30:24He was going that way.
30:26Thanks.
30:28I hope he's okay.
30:33Ouch.
30:36Ouch.
30:38Not as graceful as usual, but I seem to be in one piece.
30:43Oh, you're a dog.
30:45I thought someone lost a hubcap.
30:48Where am I?
30:49This is a dog shelter.
30:52A shelter?
30:53Oh, no.
30:54I don't want to get stuck in there.
30:56Well, as long as you're on that side of the fence, you have nothing to worry about.
31:00I'm trying to find my house.
31:02Perhaps you know it.
31:04It smells of roast turkey, bacon brussels sprouts, and reheated spaghetti.
31:08Oh, gee, that sounds pretty nice, but I can't help you.
31:12It's been a while since I've sniffed around the neighborhood.
31:14Hey, my Thanksgiving treat.
31:26Oh, a biscuit.
31:28Can I have some?
31:29Sure, kid.
31:34Happy Thanksgiving.
31:37Yum.
31:39Lamb jalapeno.
31:41Now that hit the spot.
31:49Oh, hold it.
31:51She's coming out.
31:52Hide.
31:53Oh.
31:53Okay.
32:01You're safe.
32:02She's gone.
32:05I would love another biscuit.
32:07What else is on your Thanksgiving menu?
32:10Well, um, we had kibble this morning.
32:13But that's all you're getting for Thanksgiving.
32:17Thanksgiving is when you get table scraps and plates to lick and your belly bulges out for rubbing.
32:23Not around here.
32:25But that's not fair.
32:28Well, you get used to it.
32:30I gobbled down your treat.
32:33I didn't realize you weren't getting a proper Thanksgiving dinner.
32:36Don't worry about it, kid.
32:38I do worry about it.
32:40I'm going to fix it.
32:42I'll be right back.
32:43Don't go anywhere!
32:49Where would I go?
32:52I'm dropping these pies off at the retirement home, and then I'll be right back.
32:56We'll be fine.
32:57I'll put these two to work.
32:59Good idea.
33:01Thanks, Minnie.
33:02See you guys later.
33:05Can we have a snack?
33:07I'm sure you can.
33:09What you mean to ask is, may we have a snack?
33:13Oh, okay.
33:15May we have a snack?
33:17No.
33:18It'll spoil your appetites for Thanksgiving dinner.
33:22There are laws against not giving kids snacks.
33:25Yeah, especially on Thanksgiving.
33:27As soon as Aunt Meanie leaves the room, we should run in and grab the box of crackers.
33:35Okay.
33:36Meanie?
33:37Is it Minnie or Meanie?
33:40It's Aunt Minnie, but she's a Meanie, so I call her Aunt Meanie.
33:44Oh.
33:45There she goes.
33:46They're not here.
33:53Hurry!
33:55Got it!
33:56She's coming back.
33:59Here!
34:00Nibble, nibble, strong, enable.
34:16Who's that nibbling under my table?
34:19All right, then.
34:25Two crackers each.
34:27You will need your strength.
34:29When you're finished, you have chores to do.
34:38Hey!
34:39Hey, wake up!
34:40Huh?
34:41Oh!
34:42Oh!
34:42Oh, you came back!
34:43I didn't get very far.
34:45Listen, about all your leftover Thanksgiving food.
34:48Oh, yeah, yeah.
34:49Help yourself.
34:50You know, I just had a meatloaf sandwich.
34:52Oh, it's not for me.
34:53I just learned that there are dogs at the shelter who only get kibble and one measly biscuit for Thanksgiving.
35:00No!
35:01Yes.
35:02But...
35:02But that's not fair!
35:04That's just what I said.
35:06Will you help me?
35:07Oh!
35:07Oh!
35:08I'll get the carriage.
35:12Should we bring the turkey, too?
35:13Oh, yes.
35:14That's perfect for Thanksgiving.
35:18Put it in the basket.
35:22Oh!
35:23Oh, I can't see where I'm going.
35:26That's okay.
35:27Just hop up into the carriage and I'll push it.
35:29What?
35:30Wait, what'd you say?
35:32Hop up into the carriage!
35:36Oh!
35:41We're moving!
35:42Hey, come back!
35:48Come back from where?
35:50Where am I going?
35:51Whoa!
35:52Hold on!
35:53I'm right behind you!
35:56How is that you?
35:57Where are we going?
35:59Quick!
35:59Lean to the left!
36:05Huh?
36:06I can't get the whole car in the picture!
36:11Back up a little.
36:15Be careful, Muffin!
36:18I need to get up higher.
36:22Okay, this works!
36:24Daddy, put your brake on!
36:26You're rolling backwards!
36:28I'm not rolling backwards.
36:30You're rolling forwards!
36:31The float is leaving!
36:34Oh!
36:35I have to get off!
36:36No!
36:37It's not safe to climb down while the float is moving.
36:41But I miss Crosswire Motors!
36:43I have to be in the car!
36:45I can't be on Garvin's goat float!
36:49Sit tight, Muffikens!
36:51I'll be right behind you the whole time!
36:54But...but...
36:55I'm the star of this parade!
36:59Muffy gets to go on the goat float?
37:02Aw, she's so lucky!
37:03Well, then, I call the convertible!
37:07Hi, Mr. Crosswire!
37:08Can I sit here?
37:10Sure, Binky!
37:11Binky, you should be here with us!
37:13I can't jump off now, Mr. Rathburn!
37:16We're moving!
37:21All right, places, everyone!
37:23The parade is starting!
37:26I just saw this dog!
37:28You did?
37:29He was loose on Chestnut Street.
37:31By the shelter!
37:32He said on Chestnut Street.
37:35By the shelter!
37:36I'll go find Arthur!
37:39Chestnut Street by the shelter?
37:41I bet that's where he is!
37:42Let's go!
37:46We have to set the table?
37:48Yes!
37:49Take these, spread out.
37:51Ugh, they're so heavy!
37:54Each setting needs a plate in the center.
37:57No, we don't throw them down.
37:59This is not a barbecue.
38:03We place them.
38:04With care.
38:07How many places are there?
38:09Eight.
38:10We also need napkins, cutlery, glassware, candles, and condiments.
38:14Ugh, it's gonna take until Christmas to set up for Thanksgiving.
38:19Hi, guys, I'm back!
38:20Bud, your mom's in the driveway.
38:22It's time to go.
38:23Okay.
38:24You're leaving me with all this work?
38:27Sorry.
38:28Gotta go.
38:29Happy Thanksgiving.
38:31Happy Thanksgiving.
38:33Thanks for having me.
38:35Anytime, Bud.
38:36Happy Thanksgiving.
38:38I'm not a hugger.
38:40Let's keep it civil.
38:41Okay.
38:42Uh, happy Thanksgiving, Aunt Meanie.
38:44Aunt Meanie?
38:46Minnie!
38:47He meant Minnie, didn't you, Bud?
38:48Yeah, yeah.
38:50Uh, didn't I say Minnie?
38:51Time to go, Bud.
38:55All right, niece DW, back to work.
38:58This table isn't gonna set itself.
39:04I don't think anyone is here.
39:06I'm sure the people who work here are spending Thanksgiving with their families.
39:10We're looking for our dog.
39:12I'm a great family dog.
39:15I'm easygoing, I'm a good protector.
39:17I can catch any tennis ball.
39:19You're not as fluffy as pal, but okay, you can be my other dog.
39:26Great.
39:27I don't actually make the decisions in the family, but I'll try.
39:32You like this dog, don't you, Kate?
39:34He does seem nice.
39:36Mom, we should keep looking.
39:37I just want to hang up a flyer first.
39:42Oops.
39:46Wow.
39:47I could see much better without that turkey on my head.
39:51Mmm.
39:52You're wearing turkey perfume.
39:54Uh, thank you.
39:57There's the shelter.
39:58Let's look down this street.
40:05Okay.
40:11I told you I'd be back.
40:15Sausages.
40:16Sweet potato.
40:18What is this?
40:20My friend Petunia and I bought you dinner.
40:21Happy Thanksgiving!
40:30It's for all of you.
40:32How?
40:33Where?
40:34You got me slobbering.
40:37I had so much food this year.
40:39When I heard you guys only had kibble, well, I just wanted to share it.
40:43Oh, thanks.
40:45This looks delicious.
40:46Here.
40:48Sausage for you.
40:49Sausage for you.
40:51We even have a turkey.
40:55Oh, no.
40:56That will never fit through the fence.
40:59Oh, the sweet potatoes are too big, too.
41:01Or you could squish them through.
41:03We won't mind.
41:05No.
41:07I have a better idea.
41:13Sweet potatoes ready for launch.
41:15Okay.
41:17Stand back.
41:19Nice shot.
41:24Good catch.
41:25Now, what about the turkey?
41:27I'm going to pull it into pieces.
41:32Oh, I can't eat turkey.
41:34I could choke on the bones.
41:36Well, this turkey has no bones.
41:38No bones?
41:40How did it stand up?
41:41Actually, I think it's made of tofu.
41:44Ready?
41:45Ready.
41:46I'm ready.
41:47Delicious.
41:53Delicious.
41:58Ah.
41:59Is there anything better than eating a huge meal in one minute?
42:03Eating it in 30 seconds?
42:04Hang on.
42:08I know that smell.
42:11Grapes.
42:12Teething biscuit.
42:14Lavender soap.
42:15That's Kate's monkey rattle.
42:17Oh, yeah.
42:18That's where the cute baby dropped that thing.
42:20What cute baby?
42:21She was looking for a lost dog.
42:23A baby and a mom and a white-haired lady.
42:26A lost dog?
42:27That's me.
42:28Was there a boy with them?
42:30Oh, yeah.
42:31He had glasses.
42:34Rubber?
42:36The soccer ball.
42:38A kale smoothie?
42:40It's Arthur.
42:43I'd recognize his sneakers anywhere.
42:45There's even a spaghetti noodle here from breakfast.
42:49Not bad.
42:51Which way did they go?
42:52Um, that way.
42:55I've got to go.
42:56Good luck, kid.
42:59Happy Thanksgiving.
43:00Happy Thanksgiving.
43:01Wow, what a sweet little dog.
43:05Aw, for such a little fella, he's got a big heart.
43:10Yeah, he does.
43:23There they are!
43:24Arthur, wait for me!
43:31Oops!
43:35Sorry!
43:37Wrong family!
43:39Hmm?
43:42There he is!
43:43Arthur!
43:44Arthur!
43:48Oh, no!
43:50Another monster!
43:56Hey, I've been looking for you.
44:01Yay!
44:24Yay!
44:26Woo-hoo!
44:29Wow!
44:30As the star of this Thanksgiving extravaganza, I'd like to wish you an elegant and glamorous Thanksgiving!
44:47Go away, Bluebell! I'm coming to you from the float by Garvin's goat farm, which is the home of the most important member of the parade!
44:56Gobbler, the giant turkey balloon, Elwood City's number one symbol of Thanksgiving!
45:03And that's the sound of the number two symbol of Thanksgiving, Crosswire Motors! You'll be thankful for our great deals!
45:11And Crosswire himself, behind the wheel of a Cherry Bomb Red Drill Master 5!
45:16And behind him is, um, oh, someone who clearly does not know proper parade waving!
45:23More vlog posts coming up soon from this special Thanksgiving Day parade!
45:32It's not fair, Mr. Garvin! I'm supposed to be the star of this parade, and instead I'm being attacked by a goat!
45:40No, Bluebell's as friendly as a puppy dog!
45:45Hey! Stop that!
45:48I think your puppy dog missed breakfast!
45:56Oh, I have to find a way to escape this scoundrel!
46:00Bacon! I guess he's a nice fellow after all!
46:15Wow! A real fire chuck!
46:18Look how high up we are! Look at all those buttons!
46:21Oh!
46:22Oh!
46:28Oh!
46:29Fold it once, and over twice, and flop it! Like that?
46:36Good! You're an expert!
46:38Are your kids coming?
46:39I don't have children!
46:41Who do you live with?
46:42I live by myself, in France!
46:45All alone?
46:46Yes!
46:48Aren't you lonely?
46:49Oh, no. Never.
46:51Well, maybe sometimes.
46:53Don't you even have a dog?
46:55I used to travel a lot for work.
46:57It didn't make sense for me to have a pet.
46:59Maybe I'll get one someday.
47:01I wouldn't want to live alone.
47:03You get used to it.
47:08Is France near Antarctica?
47:10No, but it is across an ocean.
47:12I won't be living there much longer.
47:14I'm moving back to Elwood City.
47:16You are?
47:17Yes!
47:18Are you going to live with us?
47:20Oh, the last thing you need is for some old stranger to move in with you.
47:24You're not a stranger.
47:26You're Aunt Minnie.
47:28Aunt Meanie?
47:30Yes.
47:31My Aunt Meanie.
47:33You can live with us if you want to.
47:35You are a very sweet girl.
47:37Your hands are sticky in a way that concerns me, but you're very sweet.
47:40The parade!
47:41Come on!
47:42Oof!
47:43Put your hat back on!
47:44It's too hot in there!
47:45You don't look like a clock anymore!
47:46I don't care.
47:47My nose was getting smushed.
47:48It's more fun to wear the antlers.
47:52Yay!
47:53It's Gobbler the turkey!
47:54Hi, Gobbler!
47:55Yay!
47:56Hi, Statue of Liberty!
47:57Why does she have a goat?
47:58That is a good question.
47:59Yay!
48:00Hi, Cool Car!
48:01Hi, Binky!
48:02That's Arthur's friend, Binky!
48:03He's the Thanksgiving Vampire!
48:04Yay!
48:05It's Arthur the turkey!
48:06Yay!
48:07It's Gobbler the turkey!
48:08Hi, Gobbler!
48:10Yay!
48:12Hi, Statue of Liberty!
48:15Why does she have a goat?
48:17That is a good question.
48:19Yay!
48:20Hi, Cool Car!

49:10So when you see gobbler the turkey coming down the street y'all know
49:15Oh
49:27Gobbler he's flying away
49:32They let the turkey loose I had my doubts about this parade, but they do put on a good show
49:38Wahoo! Fly away turkey! Fly away!
49:48And they say turkeys aren't graceful
49:54Why did we stop is the parade over it's over for that turkey
49:59It's safe to jump off now, right?
50:01Let's go help Arthur
50:03Good idea. We'll all go help
50:11Well, let's try the streets on the other side of town
50:14Arthur I need to get Kate home for her nap
50:16Well, we still have all these flyers
50:18I know but I don't want you out here alone
50:21But pal is alone
50:23I know but I can help find that little perrito
50:26Here's more tape and a big box of thumbtacks
50:30Arthur
50:31We came to help too
50:33Wow, thanks guys
50:35I think we should divide into search teams
50:38Hello? Oh, hi Muffy
50:53Frenzy! Look up in the sky!
50:56Do you see Gobbler anywhere?
51:00Yes, I see it
51:02She sees it!
51:04Daddy, head south on Point Road
51:07Got it
51:09Somebody buckle up this goat
51:20Hello Muffy
51:23Yes, I can see it now
51:24It seems to be heading toward the floor
51:28Okay, thanks
51:29He said it's heading toward the soccer field
51:31Roger
51:35There it is
51:37How are we gonna get it down?
51:39We need a big ladder
51:41I'm calling the fire department
51:46He's kind of a cross between a bedroom slipper and a dust mop
51:49But with a cute face and a really positive attitude
51:55Hey, you mean like that dog there?
51:57Yes, pal!
52:09Did you find him?
52:09He's on the fire truck
52:13Okay, here, take my bike?
52:16Thank you!
52:16Yes, I know
52:18Go!
52:22Gobbler the runaway Thanksgiving turkey balloon has been found tangled up in a scoreboard here at the Outwood City soccer field
52:30And the fire department is on the scene
52:33Let's watch as our lost and beloved holiday symbol is returned to its owner
52:40Pal?
52:41Pal!
52:42Arthur?
52:43Good boy, there you are
52:59This is all very touching, but you're in the shot
53:02Get out of the way
53:03Oh, sorry
53:12Here you go
53:13Yeah, thanks
53:14Isn't that sweet?
53:21He's giving it a hug
53:26This is Muffy Crossfire wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving
53:31Muffin, you saved Gobbler
53:33You're a Thanksgiving hero
53:38Pal, I'm so thankful I found you
53:40And I'm really thankful to everyone who helped me
53:45Hey, do you know what would be really fun?
53:50Is it okay that I asked a few friends over for Thanksgiving?
53:53Of course, everyone is welcome
53:55There's always room for an extra plate or two
54:01Or ten
54:05I don't think our dining room is big enough
54:07That goat better not be coming inside
54:10We need to set up tables in the backyard
54:12I'll get chairs from the garage
54:14D.W., you'll need to fold ten more napkins
54:17Me?
54:18Why am I the only one doing work around here?
54:30So that's how all these new people came to Thanksgiving this year
54:37I'm still not sure why there's a goat here
54:40But I guess I won't need to mow the lawn for a while
54:43Tell them the best part
54:45Oh, yeah, there were two kinds of pie
54:48Apple and pumpkin
54:49No, I'm talking about Aunt Minnie
54:52Mom talked Aunt Minnie into adopting some dog she saw at the shelter
54:57She said she was used to living alone
54:59But I knew she wanted some company
55:01Oh, oh, easy now
55:07Oh, oh, okay, maybe just one hug
55:13So when she moves here, she's not only gonna have a niece to keep her company
55:17She's also gonna have her own dog
55:19And we get to take care of him until she moves back
55:23I guess the best part of Thanksgiving is different for everybody
55:26But the main thing is we're all here together
55:30Oh, looks like it's time for dinner
55:32Happy Thanksgiving, everyone
