00:23Hello again, Peabody here.
00:25Where are we going this time, Mr. Peabody?
00:27Vienna, Austria, where we'll meet that brilliant composer and virtuoso, Ludwig von Beethoven.
00:33Just in the Wayback Machine in the year 1799, Sherman and I were quickly on our way.
00:37In no time at all, we found ourselves in a small studio where Mr. Beethoven was hard at work.
00:43But instead of composing music, he seemed to be cooking something.
00:46May I ask, sir, just what it is you're doing?
00:49I'm baking a cake. Would you please pass the salt?
00:52I didn't know you could cook, Mr. Beethoven.
00:54I can't, but I'm learning. I'm going to become famous as the greatest cook in the world.
00:59Would you pass the pepper, please?
01:01Pepper? Golly, he'll never become a great cook if he puts pepper in a cake, Mr. Peabody.
01:05Sir, why are you cooking instead of composing?
01:08Because I can't think of anything to compose. That's why.
01:12I've been sitting here for months and I can't get an inspiration.
01:16Work, work, work, but nothing happens.
01:18So I forget the whole thing. I become a cook. Where's the mustard?
01:21We can't let him do this, Mr. Peabody. Think what the world would be missing.
01:25I am thinking, Sherman, and I have a thought.
01:28Mr. Beethoven, if you would place yourself in the environment of the theme on which you are working,
01:32perhaps you might create the mood needed for inspiration.
01:36Oh, you mean like if I'm composing a symphony about the ocean, that I should go down to the ocean?
01:42Exactly.
01:43Well, that's a good idea.
01:44And so saying, Beethoven grabbed his pen and paper and excitedly dashed from the room.
01:49Good work, Mr. Peabody. As usual, you solved the problem.
01:53I'm not too sure about that.
01:54What do you mean?
01:55Well, supposing Beethoven wanted to be inspired for his fifth symphony.
01:58Gee, that's right. Where would he go?
02:00There is only one place, and if it's where I'm thinking, come, Sherman, we must hurry.
02:05Hey, we quickly dashed through town to one of the city's busiest corners, and there, just as I appeared,
02:10sat Ludwig von Beethoven in the middle of the street, corner of 5th and Main.
02:16Mr. Peabody, he'll get killed out there. We've got to save him.
02:20Fortunately, at that moment, the signal changed, stopping the traffic long enough for us to race into the street
02:24and hustle Mr. Beethoven to safety, just in the nick of time, I might add.
02:29Phew, that was a close one. Are you all right, Mr. Beethoven?
02:32Oh, I'm better than all right.
02:34Look, it worked. Being at 5th and Main inspired me to write my fifth symphony.
02:40Now I'm going to go and get an inspiration for my fourth symphony.
02:45Where's he going?
02:46But unfortunately, today is the 4th of July.
02:48You don't suppose.
02:49I not only suppose, I am quite certain, quickly, Sherman, there's not a second to lose.
02:54We immediately rushed to the local fairgrounds, where they were holding a huge 4th of July fireworks celebration.
03:00There is Mr. Peabody, right in the middle of everything.
03:05It reminded me very much of the Battle of Bunker Hill as Sherman and I darted onto the field amid
03:09the din of exploding rockets,
03:12flashing firecrackers and fountains of fire.
03:15Fortunately, we managed to reach Mr. Beethoven and beat a hasty retreat over the back fence.
03:19Say, this inspiration stuff is a wonderful thing, gentlemen.
03:23It works every time. Now I'm going to use this to help me write my greatest composition.
03:29Hey, he's got one of the rockets from the fireworks display. What are you going to do with that?
03:34I'm going to the moon so I can write my Moonlight Sonata. What else?
03:38Oh, no!
03:39Grab him, Sherman.
03:40But before we could get close to him, Mr. Beethoven lit the rocket and roared up into the sky.
03:48Needless to say, he didn't quite make it to the moon.
03:50Fee! I made it!
03:53Say, now!
03:54You aren't going to believe this, but you know there's two fellas back, Annoid.
03:58They look just like you two gentlemen.
04:00I hate to say this, Thuddig, but this is the Earth, and we are those two fellas.
04:05You mean I didn't make it to the moon?
04:07Hardly.
04:08Oh, that's a shame. I don't think I could stand another trip like that.
04:13You won't have to, sir. I'm sure I can inspire you to write your Moonlight Sonata without your going to
04:17the moon.
04:18You can? How?
04:19Well, what do you think of when you think of the moon?
04:22Well, everybody says the moon is made of cheese, so I think of cheese.
04:25Good, good. That will do the trick.
04:27By simply surrounding the great master with cheeses, he was able to compose the beautiful Moonlight Sonata.
04:34I'll bet that made him happy.
04:36Oh, yes. So delighted, in fact, that he even named his first son after a cheese.
04:40A cheese, Mr. Peabody?
04:42Why, yes. He called him Kranz Beethoven.
04:44Naturally, he later on became an orchestra conductor known as...
04:48Can I say it?
04:50Lieder Kranz.
04:59A cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese,
05:02a cheese, a cheese, a cheese, a cheese
