It’s time for the Interplanetary Hide ‘n Seek Game. Perennial losers Wizzy, Wigg and Gorga decide to hide on Jupiter when they find out that no one has ever hidden there. While fivetime hide ‘n seek champion Zeeter is looking for them, the trio discover that the huge planet is filled with storms, that the most powerful are in The Great Red Spot, and that there is no solid land mass for them to land on.

00:00Way, way up where the planets do the hula. Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zoola. Let's take
00:07off, we're all ready to roll. It's fun to learn with the Zoola Patrol.
00:13Wake up, Gorgah, it's time to play. Come on, Captain Bula, let's welcome the day.
00:18Where's that cedar? Ready to go. Whizzy and wig are good to glow. Beakers bubbling, turning blue. Molto's making something
00:31new.
00:32Way, way up where the planets do the hula. Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zoola. See your
00:39round poles at Mission Control. It's fun to learn with the Zoola Patrol.
00:44Way, way up where the planets do the hula. Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zoola. See your
00:52round poles at Mission Control. It's fun to learn with the Zoola Patrol.
01:06Space. You can find a lot of things out here. Like planets that are made mostly of rock. And planets
01:13that are mostly liquid and gas. I wish I could find a planet that's mostly chocolate.
01:21By this time tomorrow, you can chalk up another win for the old Zedermeister.
01:27What makes you so sure you're going to win again? Because when it comes to hide and seek, I'm the
01:32best. And since I'm it this year, it'll be a trench.
01:36Don't be so sure. You may be good at hiding, but we'll see how good you are at seeking. I've
01:42got a new plan that's foolproof. Are you three teaming up again?
01:47Nah. We're not going to play. Everybody plays.
01:52What's the use? Every year, Cedar wins. And we're always the first ones to get tagged out.
01:58Yeah. We never find any good hiding places. Don't give up. This is a job for the Zoola Patrol.
02:05Maybe this is the year you'll do better. Maybe even beat Cedar.
02:11Bula's got a point. When I first competed, I wasn't very good. But I kept trying. And now I know
02:17great hiding places all over the solar system. On every planet. Except for on Jupiter, of course.
02:23Why not Jupiter? No one's ever hidden there.
02:28Ah!
02:29So, how can I help you?
02:31Oh, uh, we were just wondering about planets. Like, for instance, say... Jupiter!
02:40What's Jupiter like?
02:43Jupiter's a fascinating planet. There's an entire chapter on it in the Multopedia.
02:50Jupiter is a very big planet in the solar system. It's so big that around 1,400 planets the size
02:58of Earth could easily fit into it.
03:01A planet that big must have lots of places to hide. And Jupiter has many moons. Oodles and oodles of
03:09them. One of the most famous is called Io.
03:13Maybe it's so popular because it's so much fun to say.
03:17Io!
03:19Io!
03:21From far away, Jupiter looks like it has stripes and a few spots. The biggest one is called the Great
03:28Red Spot.
03:29The Great Red Spot? Why?
03:33Because it's really big and red. It's more than twice as big as the entire planet Earth. And the weather
03:40in the Great Red Spot, in fact, the weather all over Jupiter, is very different from Earth's weather.
03:47Thanks, Molto.
03:48Yeah, thanks a lot.
03:50Oh, well, you're welcome.
03:55My, they're in such a hurry.
03:58Jupiter sounds like the perfect place to hide.
04:01But remember what Molto said. The weather on Jupiter is different than on Earth. I wonder how it's different.
04:08We'll find out when we get there. But just in case, let's bring an umbrella.
04:12Mm-hmm.
04:15Welcome, contestants, to the interplanetary hide-and-seek game. This is your play-by-play announcer speaking. And what a
04:24game this is going to be. Returning champion Zeta will be it.
04:31And you know the rules. Hiders have to stay inside the solar system. And try to tag the tree before
04:40Zeta tags you.
04:41Ready to lose again, zoo lemons?
04:44No. We've got a great hiding place picked out. And it's...it's a secret.
04:52On your mark...get that...go!
04:58One, two, three...
05:08Let's hide on one of the moons.
05:10Good idea. There's Io.
05:12Whoa. Look at all the volcanoes on Io.
05:16Cool.
05:18But maybe we ought to hide on Jupiter. These volcanoes look a little dangerous.
05:23Uh-huh.
05:28Apple, Peaches, Zork, and Pie! If you're not ready, holler right!
05:32Here I go! Ready or not! Let's get this game started!
05:38Uh, what?
05:42How'd you know it was me?
05:44The old rule, wear a disguise and act like you're not hiding, Trick.
05:48Been there, done that. Better luck next year.
05:52The game has just started, and Zeta has already made her first tag!
05:57At least Wizzy, Wig, and Gorga weren't tagged first again this year.
06:02Wonder where they're hiding.
06:08It sure is windy here today. You see any place to hide?
06:12Not yet.
06:14I'm gonna keep a record of where we go, so we'll know great hiding places for next year.
06:20Howdy, neighbor. Wanna wrestle?
06:23No, thank you. We're just...
06:29Let's play again!
06:32How about we go somewhere else?
06:35Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! My stars! This is the most exciting hide-and-seek game I've seen in
06:43quite a while!
06:44Zeta makes another tag!
06:47No, pee-hee!
06:58Hey, no fair, Zulu Lemon!
07:07The Dormat!
07:10This Dormy here has all the other places we've been to!
07:14Do you think this is what Marco meant when he said the weather on Ukraine was...
07:19Ukraine!
07:21Let's find the Great Red Spot!
07:23Maybe the weather will be better!
07:26Zeta's positively amazing!
07:29She's found almost everyone!
07:34Oh.
07:36A tragedy, I don't...
07:38Oh, lassie.
07:40Only one team left in the game!
07:43Wizzy, Wig, and Gorga!
07:45Yeah!
07:46Yeah!
07:48Woo-hoo!
07:49Woo-hoo!
07:50But where could they be?
07:54Jupiter!
07:55Nah, no way!
08:00Welcome to the Great Red Spot!
08:04You came to see how I blow winds over 400 miles per hour?
08:09Huh?
08:09Yes?
08:14I have lots of room to play!
08:17We know!
08:18You're more than twice as big as Earth!
08:20And my storms are greater than anything on that planet!
08:27Let's get out of here!
08:29We can't!
08:30The wind's too strong!
08:31We have to find a place to land!
08:34A place to land?
08:36Right over here, pal!
08:37Best spot in all of Jupiter!
08:39Thanks!
08:41This isn't land!
08:42It's...
08:43liquid!
08:45And...
08:46cold!
08:47The ship's giving in from the pressure!
08:50Give it full thrusters!
08:52Ah!
08:56Jupiter!
08:57There's no solid place to land!
08:59Sure there is!
09:01Go down thousands of miles to my center!
09:04It's solid and it's a fabulous spot!
09:07We want to land on you!
09:09Not in you!
09:10You can't land on me!
09:12Where do you think you are, Earth?
09:17Great Red, what are you doing?
09:20I'm doing what I do!
09:22My winds are unstoppable!
09:23I'm a hurricane that's been going on a very long time!
09:31Can't fight the wind!
09:33Instead of fighting against the wind, why don't we get it to work for us?
09:40With this sail, we'll use the power of the wind to push us out of the Great Red Spot!
09:48Thinking scientifically, if I've looked everywhere but one place, then that one place is where they must be!
09:56Aha!
10:00She sees us!
10:02Go!
10:03We have to beat Theta to home base!
10:07Theta's found them!
10:10But she hasn't tagged them!
10:12Yeah!
10:14Oh, my stars!
10:16Wizzy and Wig are ahead!
10:18But Theta's moving in!
10:19They're almost home!
10:21Theta's trying to tag them!
10:23It's going to be cool!
10:25I can't walk!
10:28Come on, Wizzy!
10:30Go, Wig!
10:38Wizzy, Wig, and Gorgia win!
10:40Yeah!
10:44Congratulations!
10:45Great game!
10:46You three must have found a great place to hide!
10:50Yes!
10:50Jupiter was a great place to hide!
10:53But everywhere we went on Jupiter, it was all stormy, and there was nowhere to land on the surface.
10:59Just lots of gas, and then liquid!
11:03That's Jupiter, all right!
11:04That's why no one ever hides there!
11:07Next year, we're going to hide someplace else!
11:10Like, why?
11:13And next year, I'm going to play the game, too!
11:17I wonder what the weather is like on Venus.
11:25Welcome to our Molto Moment!
11:27Are you ready to talk about Jupiter and the Great Red Spot?
11:32Um, Testy?
11:34What are you doing?
11:36I'm going to help clean up the Great Red Spot!
11:40Testy, the Great Red Spot is on the planet Jupiter!
11:43And it's 24,000 miles wide!
11:47Uh-oh!
11:48I better get a bigger towel!
11:52The Great Red Spot isn't the same!
11:55It's a storm on Jupiter that's been going on for a long, long time!
12:02Now, can you tell me what makes Jupiter different from Earth?
12:06Uh, it's made of peanut butter and jelly?
12:10No!
12:11Jupiter is a different kind of planet than Earth!
12:14Earth is made of some metal, but mostly rock!
12:18That's why there's lots of land for people to stand on!
12:21While Jupiter is a huge ball, made of mostly liquid and gas!
12:26And you can't stand on liquid and gas, can you?
12:30Well, I never have!
12:31Until next time, buh-bye!
