[THEME MUSIC]
ELMO: (SINGING) Do-be-do-do.
Imagine a story-- tweedle-dee-acha,
imagine a song.
Mm.
Woodle-ee-woo.
What happens next?
You'll never know.
CHICKENS: Bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk!
ELMO: It's "Elmo the Musical!"
"Elmo the Musical!"
CHICKENS: Bawk!
VELVET: Let's get on with the show!
[LAUGHS]
Ooh!
What's today musical story going to be, Elmo?
ELMO: Well, Elmo's not sure yet, Velvet.
Come on!
Let's think.
[POPPING]
What if-- what if--
[LAUGHS]
What if Elmo was--
[POPPING]
Ah!
A karate master?
Ooh, a martial arts musical.
Sounds exciting.
ELMO: Yeah, Velvet.
And you can be a karate master too.
[LAUGHS]
First, Karate Master Elmo will teach you the special karate
chop.
It goes like this.
[LAUGHS]
(SINGING) Hop, hop, chop, chop, chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
Now you try it with Elmo.
Come on!
Hop, hop, chop, chop, chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
[LAUGHS]
Boy, that was cool.
Now we're ready to imagine (SINGING) Karate
Master the Musical.
[GONG]
[LAUGHS]
Come on.
Let's imagine a village.
Ah!
ANIMALS: (SINGING) Here in our little village,
atop a grassy hill, lives a wise karate master
with a very special skill.
Using only his bare hands and with such amazing speed,
he uses his karate chop to make any shape you need.
ELMO: (SINGING) Who needs a shape master?
Elmo can do it.
With a chop, chop, chop, there's nothing to it.
Let' chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
GRASSHOPPER: Wow!
Look at all those amazing shapes!
[RUMBLING]
ELMO: What was that?
GRASSHOPPER: What's happening?
CHICKEN: Master Elmo, my triangle-shaped sandwiches
have all been smushed.
ELMO: Well--
CHICKEN: Oh!
TIGER: Oh!
And all my circle-shaped wagon wheels are broken!
ELMO: Oh no!
TIGER: Oh!
GRASSHOPPER: Oh no!
My house!
Ever rectangle, ruined.
I say, who is destroying all of our shapes?
VOICE: I am.
[GASPS]
PIG: Oink.
ELMO: What is that?
THE OOZE: (SINGING) They call me, simply, The Ooze.
And I'm here to give you the news.
When I see a shape, I can't take it.
I have to destroy it and break it.
Say goodbye to each square.
They'll no longer be there.
No ovals, triangles, circles or rectangles.
That's the last pentagon.
There's no more.
They're all gone!
The Ooze rules.
So do not mistake it.
ELMO: Mr. Ooze has to stop breaking all of our shapes!
THE OOZE: Says who?
GRASSHOPPER: Says Karate Master Elmo!
THE OOZE: Oh.
Is that so?
GRASSHOPPER: Mhm.
THE OOZE: Well then, it seems that you have met your match.
ELMO: We shall meet in the octagon.
[LAUGHS]
THE OOZE: Ew, ugh.
Now that I see it, I realize this octagon is a shape.
ELMO: Uh-huh.
A shape with 8 sides and 8 angles.
THE OOZE: It must be destroyed!
[GRUNTING]
GRASSHOPPER: Ah!
Well, aren't you going to stop him, Karate Master Elmo?
ELMO: Patience, young grasshopper.
GRASSHOPPER: Um, I'm actually middle aged, FYI.
ELMO: Oh.
THE OOZE: Well?
Is that the best you've got?
ELMO: Let's chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
HORSE: What shape is this going to be?
ELMO: Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
HORSE: It looks like it has one, two, three, four, five sides.
DOG: And 5 angles.
CHICKEN: It's a pentagon!
[GASPS]
THE OOZE: Pentagon?
Be gone.
Whoa!
ELMO: Why doesn't he use like shapes?
THE OOZE: Why?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Life would be much less hectic
if I were geometric.
But no, there is no shape to me.
To me.
[SAD MUSIC PLAYING]
COW: Aw.
[BLOWING NOSES]
ELMO: Master Elmo may have a way to help The Ooze.
(SINGING) Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
Yeah.
See?
THE OOZE: Well, a square?
How is a shape supposed to make me feel better?
ELMO: Well, just go inside the square.
[OOZE SQUISHING]
THE OOZE: Oh, look at me.
I have a shape!
I'm a square!
ELMO: (SINGING) Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
[GRUNTS]
THE OOZE: Hmm, let's see.
[OOZE SQUISHING]
[GASPS]
Look at me!
I'm a triangle!
ELMO: (SINGING) Hop, hop.
Chop, chop, chop.
[GRUNTING]
[OOZE SQUISHING]
[LAUGHS]
ANIMALS: Wow!
THE OOZE: I'm a--
uh, I don't even know what shape this is.
[LAUGHS]
ELMO: You're a rhombus.
[GASPS]
THE OOZE: I'm rhombus shaped.
Woo-hoo!
[LAUGHS]
ELMO: See?
It's not that The Ooze has no shape.
The Ooze can be any shape.
[LAUGHS]
THE OOZE: You're right.
[OOZE SQUISHING]
[LAUGHS]
I can be every shape there is. (SINGING)
And now I do look forward to the shape of things to come.
ALL: Yes, now we all look forward
to the shape of things to come.
VELVET: Bravo!
Bravo!
[LAUGHS]
That performance was in great shape, Elmo!
[LAUGHS]
ELMO: Ah, thank you, Velvet.
[LAUGHS]
And thank you, karate master.
Elmo couldn't have done this story without you.
[LAUGHS]
VELVET: Curtain call!
ELMO: (SINGING) That's "Elmo the Musical."
ALL: "Elmo the Musical."
VELVET: (SINGING) That's the end of our show.
[LAUGHS]
ELMO: Bye-bye!
