Panda! Go Panda! (1972) - full transcript
When her grandmother goes away on a trip, 7-year-old Mimiko stays at home by herself in her small, friendly village, unafraid of burglars. When she arrives back home from the train station where she saw her grandmother off, she discovers she has a visitor-a baby panda. She quickly makes friends with the young panda and names it Pannie. She later meets Pannie's father, a large panda she calls Papanda. She dubs Pannie her son and Papanda her father, and the three become a happy family with their own big adventures.

Let's stand on our heads
Let's smile and laugh
Because the three of us
are together and it's fun!

Let's have a chat
with the tiny giggling ants
Because we get along
and have fun laughing together!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Hurry Grandma!
The train's coming!
Coming.
Here, this is your ticket
to Nagasaki.
And this is your lunch.
Don't get mixed up, now.
I sure hope you'll be okay
on your own, Mimiko.
Who, me?
I'll be fine.
Anyway, I've got school
so there's no choice.
No.
I just can't go.
Grandpa's memorial service
is important.
But I just can't leave
you alone.
Grandma!
You're such a worry wart!
You have to get on!
Don't worry, I'll write
a letter every day.
Okay?
There.
See you later!
Mimiko!
Make sure you write
me every day!
Don't worry, I'll be fine!
See?
Hello, Mimiko.
- Where's your Grandma?
- She just left.
I'd like some apples,
onions and potatoes, please.
Sure.
That means you'll be
all alone from tonight.
No problem!
I can do the cooking,
cleaning and the wash!
What a good little girl.
Mimiko doesn't have a father or mother.
But she doesn't seem lonely!
Aren't you gonna get scared
and cry, being alone at night?
I'll be just fine!
If I see a ghost, then...
I'll beat him up and
make him my servant!
You sure are full
of energy, Mimi.
Here, this one is on the house.
Thank you!
What a good little girl.
In actual fact, it's she who
takes care of Grandma.
Mimi, I hear you're on
your own for a while.
That's no good.
- What if a burglar gets in your house?
- Oh, that'd be great!
I've never seen a burglar
before!
You got me there!
Hey... that's weird.
It wasn't like this
when I left.
Wonder if it's a burglar?
Oh, boy.
Somebody was definitely
here while I was out.
I'm sure this bucket was
put away properly before.
Oh, boy!
A cute stuffed panda!
I'm positive you and I
are gonna be friends!
My very first visitor
is a panda!
Go on in.
Wait here, and I'll
get us some drinks!
Ups-a-daisy!
There you are.
What a cute way to drink!
Daddy!
Daddy!
I don't see anybody.
Oh, someone's here.
Hang on a second.
Come in!
Thank you, I will.
What a nice house. The weather's nice too.
And the bamboo grove is especially nice.
I've come to see if my
panda son is here.
I thought so!
So you're the panda's father!
Come in!
- I've just made drinks!
- Please don't trouble yourself.
I guess this seat really
didn't like being sat upon.
I'm sure this seat will
want you to sit on it!
Now this is a nice seat!
The kitchen is nice, too.
And the bamboo grove
is especially nice!
Which reminds me...
I should say hello
to your parents.
No need to do that.
Because I don't have
a mom or dad!
You don't have a dad?
That won't do!
But I'm just fine!
I can get along on my own!
No siree.
In order to raise children,
there have to be parents.
Like you need a bamboo
grove to grow bamboo shoots.
It'd probably be better
to have them.
What a nice bamboo grove!
I know! Why don't I become your father?
It's hard for a father
to become a mother!
But it's easy to become
a father! Nothing to it!
I'm already a dad.
So it'd be nothing for me
to become a father!
I'd like even just one father!
Mr. Panda! Be my father!
And in turn, I'll be
Panny's mommy!
Okay?
Then the three of us will
live here in this house!
Mommy!
Oh, boy!
That's nice of you.
Panny's always wanted a mom.
Daddy!
Yes?
Daddies wear a hat, you know!
And daddies read a newspaper
in the room.
And they smoke a pipe.
Thank you...
You're very welcome!
And daddies...
Daddies give hugs, too...
Okay!
Daddy!
Yes, little girl.
That's weird, calling me
"little girl".
Call me "Mimiko".
Mimiko.
Daddy.
Mommy.
What is it, Panny?
Mom's right here.
Isn't this nice.
It truly is.
And the bamboo grove
is especially nice!
The bamboo grove?
I see!
What a nice bamboo grove.
Yes, I'm coming.
Got one!
Mine, too!
Very nice!
Is it good?
This is so great!
It's the happiest day
of my life!
Standing on your head
when you're happy.
That's truly a fun thing
to do.
"Dear Grandma. How are you?
I'm doing great.
Because something really
terrific happened.
I got myself a daddy!
And I also got a baby.
Right now Daddy's reading a picture book
upside-down, while he eats some bamboo.
Panny's fallen asleep.
I'll have to get his bed ready.
Well, I'd better get going.
Being a mother is wonderful,
and it keeps you so busy!
Take care. Bye, Grandma.
Love from your Granddaughter,
Mimiko."
Panny!
Breakfast is almost ready,
so don't go too far!
Get up, Daddy.
Hurry or you'll be
late for work!
Work?
Eat up!
All right, then.
Here's your lunch, Dad.
And this is your lunch.
My lunch! My lunch!
Your hat, Dad!
Here!
Language, math...
When you say "Dad has
to go to work", are you talking to me?
Sure!
Dads go to work every
morning!
Daddy!
I wanna go to work, too!
Dad's going to work?
Work?
That's right! How could I have forgotten?
Today's a day off!
I'm sure of it!
Yes, that's right!
It's always a day off!
- So I don't have to go to work!
- A day off!
Let's go!
Let's go for a walk!
We can't!
I've gotta go to school.
No!
I wanna go to school, too!
Don't be like that, or
I'll spank your bottom.
I don't wanna be spanked.
Be a good boy.
See you later!
Bye! Have a good day!
Panny, did you follow me?
You can't come!
Get back home!
You've gotta be bigger
to go to school.
You can't come!
School's about to start!
Oh, brother.
In that case...
Listen, Panny.
Act like a stuffed animal.
I'll take you if you promise
not to be naughty.
Okay.
I'm a stuffed animal.
"And after a little while,
another tiger appeared."
"The tiger said, I'll eat
you up!"
Mimi, your stuffed panda
sure is cute!
Let me hold it for a while.
No.
Stingy!
Just for a minute!
Please!
Let me see!
No!
What did you bring
a stuffed animal for?
I'm telling the teacher!
Mimiko!
Yes?
Stand up!
Mimiko, what are you
hiding behind the book?
A stuffed panda!
Isn't it cute?
What a well-made panda.
You shouldn't be bringing
stuffed animals to class!
Now, get rid of it!
But...
Put it in the shoe locker
until school is out.
Understand?
Yes.
Okay, Panny.
Stay here and be quiet.
I'll come to get you
as soon as school's out.
Okay, I'll be right here.
Don't be naughty!
I won't be naughty.
"Bread".
Oh, dear!
You didn't put it
away properly!
Now all this bread
has gone to waste!
What's a rice cake
doing in here?
What?
A bear!
Class is over.
Oh, no! That's Panny!
A bear! Catch it!
Mommy!
Mimi!
Did a bear come this way?
Look, teacher!
I washed my panda off;
isn't it nice and clean?
No, not a panda! A bear!
A yellow bear!
Oh, it went that way.
"And of course, Grandma, when we got home,
I scrubbed him clean.
Because he smelled
like curry.
He was a curry panda.
Of course, I had to
scold him.
It sure is hard, having
a small child.
Take care now."
Where are you off to,
Mr. Policeman?
Hello.
I thought I'd go check
in on Mimi.
Grandma isn't back yet,
is she?
No, and I'm worried about
Mimi being on her own.
See you later.
Hello, Mimi.
It's unlocked!
Hello!
We have a guest,
so stay over there.
What was that?
Dad and Panny.
"Dad"?
Yes?
Did you call for Papa?
Boy, what a rude policeman.
He was surprised
that I have a dad!
Hurry and let's go
for a walk!
All right, let's go!
That's strange.
I'm sure there was a great
big panda and a little one.
A panda and its child
were here, right?
Hello, Mr. Zookeeper.
It was definitely Papa panda
and his family!
Hurry and catch them!
I've been so worried about
them for the last few days...
ever since they escaped
from our zoo!
Yes, I've heard all about it
in the paper and on TV.
But who would've thought
they'd be in Mimi's house...
I'm counting on you!
It's beautiful!
This air is delicious!
This pipe is delicious!
Daddy!
Come and skip!
Oh, a skipping rope!
Come on!
Hey, pandas!
Must be the ones that
escaped from the zoo!
I won't let you say bad
things about my dad!
Even my dad's dumb!
That's the famous panda
that escaped from the zoo!
Don't you have a TV
at home?
Whoever catches them
will get a reward!
Daddy...
Hey, hurry and go
tell the cops.
I ll guard them!
But I wanted to keep
skipping.
No, stop!
Look out, Panny!
Panny!
I'm giving him back.
You're so strong, Panny!
Dad?
What's a zoo?
It's a place we were in
a long, long time ago.
But they didn't have
a nice bamboo grove.
And you weren't there.
But when they come
to take you back, they'll take Panny, too.
Oh, where did Panny get to?
Panny!
Where are you?
Hello, Papa Panda.
Lovely day.
And I'm delighted to see
you looking so well!
And I'm delighted to see
you so well, Mr. Zookeeper.
I'd like your cooperation
in accompanying us back to the zoo.
We have the car already.
How kind of you.
Then you'll come back?
No. Dad!
We've gotta look for Panny!
That's true.
You'll have to excuse me.
"Panny"? The baby panda!
Everyone look for the panda!
Panny!
We've been looking and
looking.
Where could he be?
HHe's over there!
Oh, no!
There's a floodgate ahead!
A what?
We've gotta move!
Panny!
Daddy! Mommy!
Hang on tight!
No use!
It's rusted and won't budge!
No, don't!
Let me go!
You'll get killed, too!
Mimi! Hang on!
Daddy!
Coming!
Hurry, Dad!
I can't hold on!
It's all over!
Hooray!
Isn't that nice!
"Dear Grandma.
How are you?
Dad and Panny have
gone back to the zoo."
PANDA GARDEN
ENTRANCE
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
"Dad's very happy
going to work.
After all, Dads are
supposed to go to work.
Dad buys me presents
with the money he makes.
Anyway, I'm very happy,
so don't worry."
Dad!
Welcome back!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Mama, Mama
My tiny, tiny Mama
Papa, Papa
My great big, great big Papa
Let's stand on our heads
Let's smile and laugh
Because the three of us
are together and it's fun!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Mama, Mama
My Mama with her flowers
Papa, Papa
My Papa with his pipe
Let's have a chat
with the tiny giggling ants
Because we get along
and have fun laughing together!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
"Dear Grandma.
How are you?
Dad, Panny and I are
all doing very well!
That's because we met
some terrific people!
Who do you think
it was, Grandma?"
It's inside this house!
Seems like nobody's home.
No matter!
Let's hurry and take
it back!
Mr. Tiger! Here, kitty kitty!
IS ANYBODY HOME?
You'll make the tiger
run away!
Mr. Tiger! Here, kitty kitty!
Think it's okay, letting
ourselves in?
I don't like the feel of this.
Mr. Tiger! Mr. Tiger!
Are you in there?
Nobody's here.
I'm sure he's here!
Let's look!
Boss!
Find him?
Take a look at this!
What're you doing?
Get looking for him!
It's just that I've never
seen one this small.
And there's a mid-sized one.
And this big one!
Boss...
What now?
What kind of person would use
this monstrous tooth brush?
Start looking, or I ll
really get mad!
Now where could that tiger
have gotten to?
That seat!
What kind of person would
have that monstrous seat?
And that monstrous
spoon!
That monstrous plate!
And what kind of thing
would eat salad like this?
Boss there's no doubt
about it!
There's some kind of
great big thing living here!
Something like a man-eating
bear!
Maybe it even ate the tiger!
A footprint!
Even a man-eating bear's
footprints aren't this big!
What is it?
I don't see anything.
It was...
This big!
Strange, I could've sworn
I saw it.
What?
T-tiny and r-round!
I don't see anybody.
Over there!
Welcome!
You guys are burglars, right?
This is great!
It's the first time I've
ever seen a burglar!
Burglars! Burglars!
How do you do?
I'm Papa Panda!
Too bad.
Just when I finally got
to see real burglars!
They must be very busy.
Mommy! Dinner!
Dinner!
Yes, I guess it's that time.
Let's eat!
Let's eat!
Let's eat!
Somebody ate it!
Somebody ate my curry!
Yeah, you're right.
I wonder if those burglars
ate it?
I'll get you some more.
I'm sure those burglars
must've been very hungry.
Just like me.
Someone used my towel
and got it all dirty.
Someone broke my trumpet!
Somebody's sleeping
in my bed.
Oh, dear!
It's a tiger!
A baby tiger!
This is my daddy.
This is my mommy.
Mine too! Mine too!
Great!
After the burglars, a tiger
came to our house!
I'm Tiny!
I'm Panny!
Tiny! Tiny!
Panny! Panny!
This is good.
What a nice visitor!
Come on, let's all
have dinner together!
More, please!
Ready... settee...
here we come!
We can't get out!
They're sleeping side-by-side.
Dad?
I wonder where that tiger
came from?
Wonder if he has a mom?
I'll ask around in town,
tomorrow.
Daddy!
Hi!
Dad! I'm going to run
some errands.
I wanna go, too!
Hang on a minute.
I'm just going to stick
this in the mailbox.
Stay off the tracks!
I will.
Me too!
Mommy!
Wonder where they went?
Strange.
I wonder if they went
on ahead?
Mimi!
Did you know the circus
was in town?
The circus?
It came in last night,
on the train!
Yeah, and there are lions
and all kinds of animals!
Hey, you wanna go?
Is there a tiger in that circus?
I dunno.
Probably!
Come on, let's go!
Then maybe Tiny belongs
to the circus...
Which means...
Well? Are you going, or what?
Sure, I'll go!
Oh, what a fix!
Where on earth could that
tiger have gotten to?
We've turned the place
upside-down.
And I had my fill of that
house last night.
Gee, a circus!
A panda!
After it!
It's that panda!
Stop!
The panda's gonna get
eaten by the tiger!
No way.
You children are naughty!
Come on, just a quick look!
Come on, just a little!
No, I said.
We're setting up.
Come back tomorrow and see.
And bring ticket money!
Not fair!
Mister!
Have you seen my panda
Panny?
Panda?
Yeah! The panda and tiger
are lost!
Help!
A panda's gone into
the tiger's cage!
Hey, stop!
Get back here!
Come on...
That's a good girl,
let go of that panda.
Come on, pandas don't
taste any good!
Please, let him out.
Please!
No, stop!
She's in danger!
This is my mommy!
Hello, you must be Tiny's mom.
I'm Mimiko, Panny's mom.
Great!
I'm so excited!
Hooray!
The tiger came back!
How nice!
The burglars, and Tiny, and
the circus folk were all nice.
Look! The boss gave us
some tickets, to thank us.
Let's all go tomorrow.
A circus! A circus!
Tiny's gonna be in the show
with his mom.
It's going to be very
nice weather tomorrow.
Hey, is it raining?
Hurry, Dad!
Right.
I don't like the rain
I don't like the rain.
I wonder if Tiny and
the others are getting wet.
They'll be okay.
Rain is important; it makes
living things stronger.
And it's especially good
for bamboo.
I don't like when it rains.
The circus will be cancelled.
Don't worry I'm sure
it'll be nice out tomorrow.
Hey, let's have a snack.
A snack?
Here!
It's Tiny!
"Dear Grandma,
the storm still hasn't passed.
The rain just pours down.
Panny is very disappointed.
I'm sure there's going to
be a big flood.
I wonder how Tiny
and the others are.
I'm very worried about them."
Mommy, I'm scared.
I'm right here.
Don't be afraid,
go to sleep.
Is Tiny okay?
Sure!
Tiny's mom is very strong,
after all.
I'm gonna give Tiny
my cookie!
I'm sure he'll
be surprised!
Now close your eyes.
Dad! Hurry and wake up!
Dad, look!
Some fish!
Isn't this nice!
A nice flood.
And the bamboo is
especially nice!
Dad!
Time for lunch!
Coming!
Here, help yourself.
Thank you.
Daddy!
Yes?
Since you're down there,
get some jam from the kitchen.
Sure.
Tiny! Tiny!
The circus ball.
So the circus must be
flooded, too.
Wha't could this be?
Tiny! Tiny!
Read it! Read it!
These are Tiny's footprints,
but...
It says, "Help, help!"
Signed, Tiny.
So they're having
trouble with all the water!
Dad! Let's save them!
Take this, Dad!
Here.
Got it.
And we're off!
Isn't it nice, Dad?
Look, the town looks like
an island!
Oh, it's Mimi!
Boss, where are Tiny
and the others?
The animals were washed
away by the water.
That's terrible!
So you guys took off
without them?
We tried to get
them onto the train.
But the water came suddenly
and only the people escaped.
Mimi!
Poor Tiny and the others!
Over there!
Tiny!
You're safe, now!
We're going to get you out!
We have food!
Just wait a bit longer!
Here!
My cookie!
It's going to get a little noisy.
Come on out.
There you are.
This is fun!
Nice, Dad!
My turn, next!
There.
Here's some cabbage.
Carrots for Mr. Giraffe.
Ham!
Cookies for the horses!
I'm so excited!
Look, there's no water.
We've gotta stop it, Dad!
This is incredible!
Even more incredible!
Boss, did you hear a train?
Impossible.
See? I told you.
Don't be stupid.
There it is!
Dad, isn't this nice?
Stop! Please stop!
Hurry! Get a move on!
Mimi!
The brakes! The brakes!
I can't! I dunno which
one's the brake!
We're gonna crash!
We're gonna crash!
Daddy, make us stop!
Please, Dad!
Dad!
Who's there?
Oh, Mr. Mayor.
Sorry about the racket.
You're the greatest, Dad!
"And so, Grandma,
The people in town and from
the circus were very happy.
And we're even happier
than before, so don't worry.
Well, I'd better go.
Goodbye, Grandma.
Your Granddaughter, Mimiko."

Hurry Grandma!
The train's coming!
Coming.
Here, this is your ticket
to Nagasaki.
And this is your lunch.
Don't get mixed up, now.
I sure hope you'll be okay
on your own, Mimiko.
Who, me?
I'll be fine.
Anyway, I've got school
so there's no choice.
No.
I just can't go.
Grandpa's memorial service
is important.
But I just can't leave
you alone.
Grandma!
You're such a worry wart!
You have to get on!
Don't worry, I'll write
a letter every day.
Okay?
There.
See you later!
Mimiko!
Make sure you write
me every day!
Don't worry, I'll be fine!
See?
Hello, Mimiko.
- Where's your Grandma?
- She just left.
I'd like some apples,
onions and potatoes, please.
Sure.
That means you'll be
all alone from tonight.
No problem!
I can do the cooking,
cleaning and the wash!
What a good little girl.
Mimiko doesn't have a father or mother.
But she doesn't seem lonely!
Aren't you gonna get scared
and cry, being alone at night?
I'll be just fine!
If I see a ghost, then...
I'll beat him up and
make him my servant!
You sure are full
of energy, Mimi.
Here, this one is on the house.
Thank you!
What a good little girl.
In actual fact, it's she who
takes care of Grandma.
Mimi, I hear you're on
your own for a while.
That's no good.
- What if a burglar gets in your house?
- Oh, that'd be great!
I've never seen a burglar
before!
You got me there!
Hey... that's weird.
It wasn't like this
when I left.
Wonder if it's a burglar?
Oh, boy.
Somebody was definitely
here while I was out.
I'm sure this bucket was
put away properly before.
Oh, boy!
A cute stuffed panda!
I'm positive you and I
are gonna be friends!
My very first visitor
is a panda!
Go on in.
Wait here, and I'll
get us some drinks!
Ups-a-daisy!
There you are.
What a cute way to drink!
Daddy!
Daddy!
I don't see anybody.
Oh, someone's here.
Hang on a second.
Come in!
Thank you, I will.
What a nice house. The weather's nice too.
And the bamboo grove is especially nice.
I've come to see if my
panda son is here.
I thought so!
So you're the panda's father!
Come in!
- I've just made drinks!
- Please don't trouble yourself.
I guess this seat really
didn't like being sat upon.
I'm sure this seat will
want you to sit on it!
Now this is a nice seat!
The kitchen is nice, too.
And the bamboo grove
is especially nice!
Which reminds me...
I should say hello
to your parents.
No need to do that.
Because I don't have
a mom or dad!
You don't have a dad?
That won't do!
But I'm just fine!
I can get along on my own!
No siree.
In order to raise children,
there have to be parents.
Like you need a bamboo
grove to grow bamboo shoots.
It'd probably be better
to have them.
What a nice bamboo grove!
I know! Why don't I become your father?
It's hard for a father
to become a mother!
But it's easy to become
a father! Nothing to it!
I'm already a dad.
So it'd be nothing for me
to become a father!
I'd like even just one father!
Mr. Panda! Be my father!
And in turn, I'll be
Panny's mommy!
Okay?
Then the three of us will
live here in this house!
Mommy!
Oh, boy!
That's nice of you.
Panny's always wanted a mom.
Daddy!
Yes?
Daddies wear a hat, you know!
And daddies read a newspaper
in the room.
And they smoke a pipe.
Thank you...
You're very welcome!
And daddies...
Daddies give hugs, too...
Okay!
Daddy!
Yes, little girl.
That's weird, calling me
"little girl".
Call me "Mimiko".
Mimiko.
Daddy.
Mommy.
What is it, Panny?
Mom's right here.
Isn't this nice.
It truly is.
And the bamboo grove
is especially nice!
The bamboo grove?
I see!
What a nice bamboo grove.
Yes, I'm coming.
Got one!
Mine, too!
Very nice!
Is it good?
This is so great!
It's the happiest day
of my life!
Standing on your head
when you're happy.
That's truly a fun thing
to do.
"Dear Grandma. How are you?
I'm doing great.
Because something really
terrific happened.
I got myself a daddy!
And I also got a baby.
Right now Daddy's reading a picture book
upside-down, while he eats some bamboo.
Panny's fallen asleep.
I'll have to get his bed ready.
Well, I'd better get going.
Being a mother is wonderful,
and it keeps you so busy!
Take care. Bye, Grandma.
Love from your Granddaughter,
Mimiko."
Panny!
Breakfast is almost ready,
so don't go too far!
Get up, Daddy.
Hurry or you'll be
late for work!
Work?
Eat up!
All right, then.
Here's your lunch, Dad.
And this is your lunch.
My lunch! My lunch!
Your hat, Dad!
Here!
Language, math...
When you say "Dad has
to go to work", are you talking to me?
Sure!
Dads go to work every
morning!
Daddy!
I wanna go to work, too!
Dad's going to work?
Work?
That's right! How could I have forgotten?
Today's a day off!
I'm sure of it!
Yes, that's right!
It's always a day off!
- So I don't have to go to work!
- A day off!
Let's go!
Let's go for a walk!
We can't!
I've gotta go to school.
No!
I wanna go to school, too!
Don't be like that, or
I'll spank your bottom.
I don't wanna be spanked.
Be a good boy.
See you later!
Bye! Have a good day!
Panny, did you follow me?
You can't come!
Get back home!
You've gotta be bigger
to go to school.
You can't come!
School's about to start!
Oh, brother.
In that case...
Listen, Panny.
Act like a stuffed animal.
I'll take you if you promise
not to be naughty.
Okay.
I'm a stuffed animal.
"And after a little while,
another tiger appeared."
"The tiger said, I'll eat
you up!"
Mimi, your stuffed panda
sure is cute!
Let me hold it for a while.
No.
Stingy!
Just for a minute!
Please!
Let me see!
No!
What did you bring
a stuffed animal for?
I'm telling the teacher!
Mimiko!
Yes?
Stand up!
Mimiko, what are you
hiding behind the book?
A stuffed panda!
Isn't it cute?
What a well-made panda.
You shouldn't be bringing
stuffed animals to class!
Now, get rid of it!
But...
Put it in the shoe locker
until school is out.
Understand?
Yes.
Okay, Panny.
Stay here and be quiet.
I'll come to get you
as soon as school's out.
Okay, I'll be right here.
Don't be naughty!
I won't be naughty.
"Bread".
Oh, dear!
You didn't put it
away properly!
Now all this bread
has gone to waste!
What's a rice cake
doing in here?
What?
A bear!
Class is over.
Oh, no! That's Panny!
A bear! Catch it!
Mommy!
Mimi!
Did a bear come this way?
Look, teacher!
I washed my panda off;
isn't it nice and clean?
No, not a panda! A bear!
A yellow bear!
Oh, it went that way.
"And of course, Grandma, when we got home,
I scrubbed him clean.
Because he smelled
like curry.
He was a curry panda.
Of course, I had to
scold him.
It sure is hard, having
a small child.
Take care now."
Where are you off to,
Mr. Policeman?
Hello.
I thought I'd go check
in on Mimi.
Grandma isn't back yet,
is she?
No, and I'm worried about
Mimi being on her own.
See you later.
Hello, Mimi.
It's unlocked!
Hello!
We have a guest,
so stay over there.
What was that?
Dad and Panny.
"Dad"?
Yes?
Did you call for Papa?
Boy, what a rude policeman.
He was surprised
that I have a dad!
Hurry and let's go
for a walk!
All right, let's go!
That's strange.
I'm sure there was a great
big panda and a little one.
A panda and its child
were here, right?
Hello, Mr. Zookeeper.
It was definitely Papa panda
and his family!
Hurry and catch them!
I've been so worried about
them for the last few days...
ever since they escaped
from our zoo!
Yes, I've heard all about it
in the paper and on TV.
But who would've thought
they'd be in Mimi's house...
I'm counting on you!
It's beautiful!
This air is delicious!
This pipe is delicious!
Daddy!
Come and skip!
Oh, a skipping rope!
Come on!
Hey, pandas!
Must be the ones that
escaped from the zoo!
I won't let you say bad
things about my dad!
Even my dad's dumb!
That's the famous panda
that escaped from the zoo!
Don't you have a TV
at home?
Whoever catches them
will get a reward!
Daddy...
Hey, hurry and go
tell the cops.
I ll guard them!
But I wanted to keep
skipping.
No, stop!
Look out, Panny!
Panny!
I'm giving him back.
You're so strong, Panny!
Dad?
What's a zoo?
It's a place we were in
a long, long time ago.
But they didn't have
a nice bamboo grove.
And you weren't there.
But when they come
to take you back, they'll take Panny, too.
Oh, where did Panny get to?
Panny!
Where are you?
Hello, Papa Panda.
Lovely day.
And I'm delighted to see
you looking so well!
And I'm delighted to see
you so well, Mr. Zookeeper.
I'd like your cooperation
in accompanying us back to the zoo.
We have the car already.
How kind of you.
Then you'll come back?
No. Dad!
We've gotta look for Panny!
That's true.
You'll have to excuse me.
"Panny"? The baby panda!
Everyone look for the panda!
Panny!
We've been looking and
looking.
Where could he be?
HHe's over there!
Oh, no!
There's a floodgate ahead!
A what?
We've gotta move!
Panny!
Daddy! Mommy!
Hang on tight!
No use!
It's rusted and won't budge!
No, don't!
Let me go!
You'll get killed, too!
Mimi! Hang on!
Daddy!
Coming!
Hurry, Dad!
I can't hold on!
It's all over!
Hooray!
Isn't that nice!
"Dear Grandma.
How are you?
Dad and Panny have
gone back to the zoo."
PANDA GARDEN
ENTRANCE
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
"Dad's very happy
going to work.
After all, Dads are
supposed to go to work.
Dad buys me presents
with the money he makes.
Anyway, I'm very happy,
so don't worry."
Dad!
Welcome back!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Mama, Mama
My tiny, tiny Mama
Papa, Papa
My great big, great big Papa
Let's stand on our heads
Let's smile and laugh
Because the three of us
are together and it's fun!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Mama, Mama
My Mama with her flowers
Papa, Papa
My Papa with his pipe
Let's have a chat
with the tiny giggling ants
Because we get along
and have fun laughing together!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
Panda! Papa Panda! Baby Panda!
"Dear Grandma.
How are you?
Dad, Panny and I are
all doing very well!
That's because we met
some terrific people!
Who do you think
it was, Grandma?"
It's inside this house!
Seems like nobody's home.
No matter!
Let's hurry and take
it back!
Mr. Tiger! Here, kitty kitty!
IS ANYBODY HOME?
You'll make the tiger
run away!
Mr. Tiger! Here, kitty kitty!
Think it's okay, letting
ourselves in?
I don't like the feel of this.
Mr. Tiger! Mr. Tiger!
Are you in there?
Nobody's here.
I'm sure he's here!
Let's look!
Boss!
Find him?
Take a look at this!
What're you doing?
Get looking for him!
It's just that I've never
seen one this small.
And there's a mid-sized one.
And this big one!
Boss...
What now?
What kind of person would use
this monstrous tooth brush?
Start looking, or I ll
really get mad!
Now where could that tiger
have gotten to?
That seat!
What kind of person would
have that monstrous seat?
And that monstrous
spoon!
That monstrous plate!
And what kind of thing
would eat salad like this?
Boss there's no doubt
about it!
There's some kind of
great big thing living here!
Something like a man-eating
bear!
Maybe it even ate the tiger!
A footprint!
Even a man-eating bear's
footprints aren't this big!
What is it?
I don't see anything.
It was...
This big!
Strange, I could've sworn
I saw it.
What?
T-tiny and r-round!
I don't see anybody.
Over there!
Welcome!
You guys are burglars, right?
This is great!
It's the first time I've
ever seen a burglar!
Burglars! Burglars!
How do you do?
I'm Papa Panda!
Too bad.
Just when I finally got
to see real burglars!
They must be very busy.
Mommy! Dinner!
Dinner!
Yes, I guess it's that time.
Let's eat!
Let's eat!
Let's eat!
Somebody ate it!
Somebody ate my curry!
Yeah, you're right.
I wonder if those burglars
ate it?
I'll get you some more.
I'm sure those burglars
must've been very hungry.
Just like me.
Someone used my towel
and got it all dirty.
Someone broke my trumpet!
Somebody's sleeping
in my bed.
Oh, dear!
It's a tiger!
A baby tiger!
This is my daddy.
This is my mommy.
Mine too! Mine too!
Great!
After the burglars, a tiger
came to our house!
I'm Tiny!
I'm Panny!
Tiny! Tiny!
Panny! Panny!
This is good.
What a nice visitor!
Come on, let's all
have dinner together!
More, please!
Ready... settee...
here we come!
We can't get out!
They're sleeping side-by-side.
Dad?
I wonder where that tiger
came from?
Wonder if he has a mom?
I'll ask around in town,
tomorrow.
Daddy!
Hi!
Dad! I'm going to run
some errands.
I wanna go, too!
Hang on a minute.
I'm just going to stick
this in the mailbox.
Stay off the tracks!
I will.
Me too!
Mommy!
Wonder where they went?
Strange.
I wonder if they went
on ahead?
Mimi!
Did you know the circus
was in town?
The circus?
It came in last night,
on the train!
Yeah, and there are lions
and all kinds of animals!
Hey, you wanna go?
Is there a tiger in that circus?
I dunno.
Probably!
Come on, let's go!
Then maybe Tiny belongs
to the circus...
Which means...
Well? Are you going, or what?
Sure, I'll go!
Oh, what a fix!
Where on earth could that
tiger have gotten to?
We've turned the place
upside-down.
And I had my fill of that
house last night.
Gee, a circus!
A panda!
After it!
It's that panda!
Stop!
The panda's gonna get
eaten by the tiger!
No way.
You children are naughty!
Come on, just a quick look!
Come on, just a little!
No, I said.
We're setting up.
Come back tomorrow and see.
And bring ticket money!
Not fair!
Mister!
Have you seen my panda
Panny?
Panda?
Yeah! The panda and tiger
are lost!
Help!
A panda's gone into
the tiger's cage!
Hey, stop!
Get back here!
Come on...
That's a good girl,
let go of that panda.
Come on, pandas don't
taste any good!
Please, let him out.
Please!
No, stop!
She's in danger!
This is my mommy!
Hello, you must be Tiny's mom.
I'm Mimiko, Panny's mom.
Great!
I'm so excited!
Hooray!
The tiger came back!
How nice!
The burglars, and Tiny, and
the circus folk were all nice.
Look! The boss gave us
some tickets, to thank us.
Let's all go tomorrow.
A circus! A circus!
Tiny's gonna be in the show
with his mom.
It's going to be very
nice weather tomorrow.
Hey, is it raining?
Hurry, Dad!
Right.
I don't like the rain
I don't like the rain.
I wonder if Tiny and
the others are getting wet.
They'll be okay.
Rain is important; it makes
living things stronger.
And it's especially good
for bamboo.
I don't like when it rains.
The circus will be cancelled.
Don't worry I'm sure
it'll be nice out tomorrow.
Hey, let's have a snack.
A snack?
Here!
It's Tiny!
"Dear Grandma,
the storm still hasn't passed.
The rain just pours down.
Panny is very disappointed.
I'm sure there's going to
be a big flood.
I wonder how Tiny
and the others are.
I'm very worried about them."
Mommy, I'm scared.
I'm right here.
Don't be afraid,
go to sleep.
Is Tiny okay?
Sure!
Tiny's mom is very strong,
after all.
I'm gonna give Tiny
my cookie!
I'm sure he'll
be surprised!
Now close your eyes.
Dad! Hurry and wake up!
Dad, look!
Some fish!
Isn't this nice!
A nice flood.
And the bamboo is
especially nice!
Dad!
Time for lunch!
Coming!
Here, help yourself.
Thank you.
Daddy!
Yes?
Since you're down there,
get some jam from the kitchen.
Sure.
Tiny! Tiny!
The circus ball.
So the circus must be
flooded, too.
Wha't could this be?
Tiny! Tiny!
Read it! Read it!
These are Tiny's footprints,
but...
It says, "Help, help!"
Signed, Tiny.
So they're having
trouble with all the water!
Dad! Let's save them!
Take this, Dad!
Here.
Got it.
And we're off!
Isn't it nice, Dad?
Look, the town looks like
an island!
Oh, it's Mimi!
Boss, where are Tiny
and the others?
The animals were washed
away by the water.
That's terrible!
So you guys took off
without them?
We tried to get
them onto the train.
But the water came suddenly
and only the people escaped.
Mimi!
Poor Tiny and the others!
Over there!
Tiny!
You're safe, now!
We're going to get you out!
We have food!
Just wait a bit longer!
Here!
My cookie!
It's going to get a little noisy.
Come on out.
There you are.
This is fun!
Nice, Dad!
My turn, next!
There.
Here's some cabbage.
Carrots for Mr. Giraffe.
Ham!
Cookies for the horses!
I'm so excited!
Look, there's no water.
We've gotta stop it, Dad!
This is incredible!
Even more incredible!
Boss, did you hear a train?
Impossible.
See? I told you.
Don't be stupid.
There it is!
Dad, isn't this nice?
Stop! Please stop!
Hurry! Get a move on!
Mimi!
The brakes! The brakes!
I can't! I dunno which
one's the brake!
We're gonna crash!
We're gonna crash!
Daddy, make us stop!
Please, Dad!
Dad!
Who's there?
Oh, Mr. Mayor.
Sorry about the racket.
You're the greatest, Dad!
"And so, Grandma,
The people in town and from
the circus were very happy.
And we're even happier
than before, so don't worry.
Well, I'd better go.
Goodbye, Grandma.
Your Granddaughter, Mimiko."
