00:00Hi, kids. Put your Winky Dink magic screen in front of your TV screen
00:05and rub it hard with your magic cloth to make it hold fast.
00:09And then be ready to help us with your magic crayons in another exciting adventure of...
00:14Winky Dink and You!
00:24Winky Dink and You
00:26You Winky Dink and Me
00:28Always have a lot of fun together
00:31You Winky Dink and You
00:33Winky Dink and Me
00:35We are pals in fair or stormy weather
00:43Look at that, Woofer!
00:45King Kooky is going to try to be the first king in space.
00:49Say, that takes nerve.
00:51More nerve than brains, Winky Dink.
00:53He's making a flight in a big balloon.
00:56Come on, Woofer. Let's go over to the royal launching pad
00:59and watch the takeoff.
01:01And so you see, my loyal subjects,
01:05since the face of the man on the moon
01:07is the very image of my great-grandfather, King Kooky the 85th,
01:12I am going now to claim the moon
01:15as the rightful possession and colony of Kookatania.
01:20But, Your Majesty, how can a balloon go to the moon?
01:24Why not? It's a moon balloon, isn't it?
01:30Help!
01:31Hang on, Woofer.
01:32Oh, dear. We're off and I haven't finished my speech yet.
01:36Do something, Winky Dink. We can't hold on much longer.
01:39Quick, boys and girls. You've got to help save us.
01:42Get out your magic crayon
01:44and draw a lot of short lines between Woofer's rope and mine.
01:48You'll make us a stepladder.
01:50Draw them carefully, one above the other,
01:53so we can climb up to the basket of the balloon.
01:56That's it, kids.
01:58Ready, Woofer? Let's climb up.
02:04Gosh, thanks for helping us, gang.
02:06Now that we're safe, you can rub off the steps with your magic cloth.
02:10Get them all off.
02:12Winky Dink and Woofer,
02:14how dare you try to share the glory of my moon trip?
02:17We didn't want to come.
02:19Your silly old balloon dragged us up here.
02:22And besides, Your Majesty, even little school kids know
02:25a balloon can't keep going up without atmosphere to support it.
02:30We'll see about that.
02:32I'll command the balloon to keep rising.
02:35Moon or not, Winky Dink, we're pretty high right now.
02:42Look out. That eagle is liable to bust the balloon.
02:45Indeed. Eagle, I command you not to puncture this balloon.
02:50Really? And who might you be, shorty?
02:54I'll have you know I'm the great King Kooky the 89th,
02:57king of all Kookatania.
02:59Now move aside, my good bird.
03:02I am not your good bird.
03:04You happen to be addressing Emperor Eagle Beak the 91st,
03:09king of birds and monarch of the skies.
03:12Please, King Kooky, say you're sorry and let's go back.
03:16What? Apologize to an oversized canary?
03:19Now see here, you pin-feathered paltroon.
03:22That tears it. Geronimo!
03:30We warned you not to get him mad.
03:33Now we'll all crash.
03:35Balloon, I order you to stop falling.
03:38Balloon, please.
03:41Oh, a wounded baby. What'll we do now?
03:44We'll all be smashed to pieces unless the kids in the audience help.
03:48Quick, boys and girls, take your magic crayon
03:51and draw the wings of that butterfly.
03:54Oh, I know it's not easy because he keeps moving his wings,
03:57but just sketch them in and do the best you can.
04:00That's the way.
04:02Draw in the outlines of the wings and you'll help us escape.
04:06Got them, gang? Just in time, too.
04:11Say, this is neat, Winky Dink.
04:14Now I know why butterflies look so happy when they fly.
04:18Thank you for saving our royal life, Winky Dink,
04:21and special thanks to your good friends in the audience.
04:24They are almost as powerful as I, King Kooky the 89th.
04:29Okay, gang, take your magic cloth and erase your drawing now.
04:33Rub hard and get it all off so we can land.
04:37And remember to join us on our next big Winky Dink adventure.
04:42So long!
