01:36Kiddies!

01:38Merry, kiddies!

01:40Ho!

01:42Ho!

01:44Merry voices and light-hearted laughter rang out.

01:48Christmas was close at hand in all its love and hearty honesty.

01:54It was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness.

02:00Gay and merry was the time.

02:04And gay and merry were the numerous hearts that were gladdened by its coming.

02:10Happy, happy Christmas.

02:12Happy, happy Christmas.

02:14I heard the bells on Christmas Day,

02:16their old familiar carols play.

02:20And, wild and sweet,

02:22the words repeat of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

02:27With all that going on out there.

02:29Hmmph!

02:31You know, Tucker, I'm afraid you have a point there.

02:33Why don't you see if you can find something more appropriate?

02:35Well, one thing's for sure, Harry.

02:37Nothing in this book's gonna be less appropriate.

02:39Read on, Macduff.

02:41A visit from Saint Nicholas.

02:43Who he?

02:44By Clement C. Moore.

02:45Also who he?

02:46Twas the night before Christmas,

02:47when all through the house...

02:48Marvelous opening.

02:49Not a creature was stirring,

02:50not even a mouse.

02:51Not even a what?

02:52Why a mouse may I to inquire?

02:54Why do people think that they're not going to be a mouse?

02:56Well, one thing's for sure, Harry.

02:57Nothing in this book's gonna be less appropriate.

02:59Read on, Macduff.

03:00A visit from Saint Nicholas.

03:01Who he?

03:02By Clement C. Moore.

03:03Also who he?

03:04Twas the night before Christmas,

03:05when all through the house...

03:06Marvelous opening.

03:07Not a creature was stirring,

03:08not even a mouse.

03:09Not even a what?

03:10Why do people always pick on mice, not the stir?

03:14Take it easy, Ducker.

03:16Humans aren't out to be mean to mice.

03:19Why not?

03:20They're mean to each other, aren't they?

03:22And every Christmas they get meaner.

03:27Harry.

03:30Harry.

03:31What if humans were more like mice, hmm?

03:34Friendly and gentle.

03:37Basically nice.

03:39Or what if humans were more like a cat?

03:43Dignified.

03:44Noble.

03:45More like that.

03:46Right on.

03:47They don't really hate children.

03:48But it doesn't seem right to sing...

03:49Joy to the world.

03:50And then pick a fight.

03:51Right on.

03:52Why must they grouch and quarrel and fuss?

03:54I mean, why can't humans be more like us?

03:55I guess that people aren't really so wicked.

04:04But why can't they behave more like a cricket?

04:07Chester.

04:08Chester.

04:09Harry.

04:10That's it.

04:11Chester.

04:12We gotta have Chester again.

04:13Chester.

04:14Chester.

04:15Chester.

04:16Chester see cricket.

04:17He's just what we need to straighten out this Christmas mess.

04:22You remember how it was, Harry?

04:23How old Chester got trapped in a picnic basket in Connecticut on account of an almost fatal

04:27weakness for liverwurst?

04:28Yes.

04:29And then he was carried here to Times Square subway station, where Mario the newsboy found

04:33him.

04:34Why, it's a cricket.

04:35A real live cricket.

04:36A real live cricket.

04:38Oh, no.

04:39What?

04:40What a cricket.

04:41What?

04:42What?

04:43This is a cricket.

04:44Oh, no.

04:45You remember how it was, Harry?

04:46How old Chester got trapped in a picnic basket in Connecticut on account of an almost fatal

04:48weakness for liverwurst?

04:49Yes.

04:50And then he was carried here to Times Square subway station, where Mario the newsboy found

04:51him.

04:52Why, it's a cricket.

04:57Why, it's a cricket. A real, live cricket.

05:03Remember, too, when he discovered his remarkable talent for music?

05:09Yeah. If he heard any music at all, and only just once, he could play it right back. Fantastic.

05:17I thought crickets only went chirp. Me, too.

05:38Yes. And remember when he played in public, and the people of New York actually stopped to listen?

05:47For the first time in their lives, perhaps, people stopped honking horns?

06:05And yelling and pushing and being mean?

06:08And suddenly, everyone found something to like me in one another.

06:16It was a miracle. A miracle on 42nd Street.

06:28We cured the people of New York once, Harry. And we can do it again.

06:45Sunny Slope, Connecticut. Here we come.

06:49Ah, yes. Of course I remember. Chester spends his summers in a beautiful meadow near Headley, Connecticut.

06:57But in winter, he moves to the nearest music store at Sunny Slope.

07:01Yeah, yeah. Chester told me that's where he lives. Sunny Slope, Connecticut.

07:06And as you can see, it's no distance at all. Just four paces straight ahead, two paces over, and there we are. Sunny Slope.

07:15And you will note that Connecticut is all warm and yellow. Not icy blue like New York or brown and gunky like Massachusetts.

07:24Very interesting theory about maps, Tucker.

07:27Come on, come on. It's gonna take us at least a half hour to hike up there.

07:32Well, just to be safe, Tucker. Maybe we'd better take the train.

07:37Well, you're right about one thing, Tucker. The sign is yellow.

08:00Sunny Slope? Frozen Slope would be more like it. Who names places anyway like New York?

08:06It's old York if it's anything. How about mean York and nasty York? Sunny Slope.

08:13Well, this is the place, all right. Right. Frozen Slope, Connecticut.

08:23Home of Chester. The world famous musical cricket.

08:28Now all we have to do is find out where he lives. Right, Tucker?

08:33Tucker? Tucker? Tucker? Tucker? Tucker?

08:40Pardon me, sir. Would you direct me to the home of the world famous cricket?

08:52Excuse me, friend. I shouldn't have been talking with my mouth full.

09:02And I've never been so insulted in all my life.

09:05Now then, about our cricket, it's just about three blocks down the...

09:11In all my life. I'll sue. So help.

09:14I'll sue. It's, uh, difficult to talk without using your paws, uh...

09:18Allow me. Why, uh, thank you. I'll sue.

09:23Now then, uh, go straight ahead three blocks. Turn left at Roscoe Drugstore.

09:29One block to Frogby's Music Emporium. Our cricket lives in a hi-fi set in the back room.

09:38Glad to be service. Now I must hurry on home.

09:41We're having Roast Mouse with Yorkshire pudding tonight.

09:44The missus will be expecting a miss.

09:53How can you have Roast Mouse with Yorkshire pudding without the Roast Mouse?

09:59Roast Mouse? That's disgusting.

10:02Well, I certainly can't imagine you with an apple in your mouth.

10:07Harry, listen.

10:09Chester.

10:10Chester.

10:39Oh, it's so great to see you.

10:43Oh, Harry.

10:44Good old Harry.

10:45Oh, oh, oh, oh.

10:48Oh, it's just like a Christmas present having you here.

10:50But, but why didn't you write and tell me you were coming?

10:52I could have prepared some liverwood.

10:54Oh, oh, oh, oh.

10:55I could have prepared some liverwood.

10:58Oh, oh, oh.

11:00Oh, oh.

11:01Oh, oh, oh, oh.

11:02Oh, oh.

11:03Oh, oh, oh.

11:04Oh, oh.

11:06Oh, oh.

11:07I could have prepared some liverwurst with Yorkshire pudding.

11:11Yes, well, it's a long story, Chester.

11:14You see, things haven't been going at all well in New York.

11:19People seem to be changing for the worse,

11:21and we thought that if you wouldn't, Mark...

11:24So you see, Chester, we need you.

11:27The whole city needs you,

11:29because they've all forgotten what Christmas is really all about.

11:34Yes, I can certainly see the problem,

11:39but do you think my playing could change all that?

11:44After all, I'm just one little Scrabbly Cricket.

11:48Scrabbly Cricket?

11:49Why, Chester, baby, you're the most famous cricket in the world.

11:53Why, you made New Yorkers stop yelling and start listening

11:56for the first time in their Scrabbly lives,

11:58and you can do it again.

12:00Right. We did it before, and we can do it again.

12:04Hey, wait.

12:06Purr me a few bars.

12:09Delighted.

12:10Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, ow.

12:12We did it before, and we can do it again.

12:32And we will do it again.

12:34The only choirs and Chester plays to women and children and men.

12:38They listen before, they'll listen again.

12:44We did it before, and we can do it again.

12:48And we will do it again.

12:51We're one for all and we're all for one.

12:53They'll get me on here before we're done.

12:55Millions of people will listen.

12:59Listen to our Christmas song.

13:01We did it before, and we can do it again.

13:06And we will do it again.

13:09The only choirs and Chester plays to women and children and men.

13:13They listen before, they'll listen again.

13:15Good heavens!

13:35Harry?

13:36Are you all right, Harry?

13:37I guess so.

13:41But if I hang here long, I'll freeze to death.

13:47And if I don't, I'll get chewed up by that dog.

13:51Don't worry.

13:52Stay right where you are.

13:53I'll get rid of the dog, but I've got to catch Tucker first.

13:59Good heavens!

14:00Well, first things first.

14:26Marsh!

14:27You never saw such a dish in your life

14:30as three fat, juicy, tasty, spicy, mouth-watering,

14:36huge, prime-ribby, fantastically tasty mice

14:40with Yorkshire pudding.

14:43I can't stand it!

14:45Three fat mice!

14:47Where are they?

14:48I've got to have them!

14:56Down by the Old Mill Stream,

14:58that's where those fat mice are.

15:02Hmm.

15:02You!

15:03It is to laughter.

15:05You wouldn't even make a decent Duke pick.

15:09By the Old Mill Stream,

15:12where I first met mice,

15:14and they tasted nice.

15:16Wow!

15:17Three fat mice!

15:19Yee-hoo!

15:19Scrawny!

15:20Scrawny!

15:21Wouldn't make a decent Duke pick.

15:24Come on, come on!

15:25Now we've got to rescue Harry!

15:27I've been insulted again.

15:29Harry?

15:30Rescue Harry?

15:31Let him out of my sight for two minutes.

15:33We get some trouble.

15:34Marrow.

15:35Marrow.

15:57Marrow.

15:57Okay, Harry, let her go.

16:16Why, Harry, you're gorgeous.

16:19In fact, you're beautiful.

16:22Hilarious.

16:27I still can't understand why we couldn't take the train at Sunny Slop.

16:43Because there aren't any that would get us to New York on time.

16:48So we had to try to catch the early train at Lane's Crossing.

16:54Well, it looks to me like we're too late.

16:56We'll never get down there in time.

16:58Oh, yes, we will.

17:02Get me on, my boy.

17:12Oh, what fun it is too bright in a one-cat-open sleigh.

17:16Dashing through the snow in a one-cat-open sleigh.

17:19Oh, the fields will go, hurry, go your way.

17:22Wings and crickets play, making spirits bright.

17:26Oh, what fun it is to sing a swaying song tonight.

17:29Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

17:33Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-cat-open sleigh.

17:36Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

17:39Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-cat-open sleigh.

17:43Whoa, what fun it is to ride in a one-cat-open sleigh.

18:09Walking in a winter wonderland

18:15Winter, winter wonderland

18:18Winter, winter wonderland

18:39Winter, winter wonderland

19:00Now, I think you should start off with Silent Night

19:08Then, uh, something really jumpin' and happy-like

19:12Uh, tis the season to be jolly

19:14Then finish with joy in a world

19:19Quiet, that?

20:09Play!

20:09Alright!

20:31Goodnight!

20:32Oh, my God.

21:02I just don't get it. People just don't care. You couldn't even hear just a play.

21:18Well, it is asking a great deal of people to stop and listen to one scrabbly little...

21:25Listen, if I told you once, I told you a thousand times you're not scrabbly.

21:30It's just that miracles just don't seem to happen twice in the same...

21:35Wait.

21:35Well, I'll be a scrabbly...

21:53Chester, it's a power failure again. They've overloaded. They've hogged the electricity.
