00:02 - All right, kids, let's all stay together.
00:12 We've seen lots of amazing things
00:14 from the history of aviation,
00:16 but I've saved the best for last.
00:19 Kind of ironic, because this was a great first.
00:22 There was a time when only birds had the power of flight,
00:26 but then the Wright Brothers came along
00:28 and invented the very first airplane.
00:32 This is the Wright Flyer of 1903,
00:35 the plane that gave us the first moused flight.
00:38 - Um, don't you mean manned flight?
00:42 - No, son, the first moused flight.
00:45 Would you like to hear the story of that courageous mouse?
00:49 - Oh, yes!
00:50 - Tell us, too!
00:52 - Well, it all started in the Wright Brothers'
00:54 bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio.
00:57 (upbeat music)
00:59 - Wilbur, do you see what this bold little mouse is doing?
01:12 How rude!
01:15 - No need to be alarmed, Orville.
01:17 I'll call your worthless cat.
01:19 Thomas, please attend to that meddlesome mouse.
01:22 (dramatic music)
01:25 (lion growling)
01:28 - Get that mouse, Thomas!
01:40 - Did you see that, Orville?
01:51 - I did, Wilbur, I did.
01:53 I think that mouse knows something of aerodynamics.
01:56 - And he's terrifically good at outsmarting Thomas.
02:02 - The combination of those skills
02:04 will help with our experiments.
02:06 - Let's begin right away.
02:07 - I hope the mouse finds our box kite useful.
02:14 - Look, here he comes.
02:16 - And your cat is close behind.
02:18 (lion growling)
02:23 (lion growling)
02:25 - Look, Wilbur, the kite's working.
02:27 - Let's just hope your cat doesn't create too much drag.
02:31 (lion growling)
02:36 - The mouse caught a thermal updraft.
02:43 (lion growling)
02:47 (explosion)
