Everyday's a new day

possibility

once you leave the belt way

don't know where you'll be

future's bright and shiny

even when there's ups and

downs and spinning all arounds

you gotta roll

there you go, up and at 'em

now you're not alone

don't say no

gotta take your chance

and grab a hold

life's coming at you now

yeah, coming at you now

maybe what's before you

is uncertainty

keep on looking forward

to your destiny

hold on to your dreams and

whether they are smiles

or frowns

don't let it bring you down,

you'll reach your goal

Hmmm.

Looks like we've got a quack code us.

No squeak?

Poor little guy.

Nobody's gonna want a rubber

ducky that can't squeak.

There you go, up and at 'em

now you're not alone

life's coming at you now

Oh!

Almost quack missed you.

What a lucky duck!

Life's coming at you now

A tub toy tale.

Hey! Get out of here!

Can't squeak, can't stay!

Hey!

What'd you do that for?

Sorry.

There's no room in here

for rejects!

Who are you calling a reject?

A rubber ducky who can't squeak,

that's who!

For your information,

There's a lot more to being

a rubber ducky than squeaking.

There's floating, and there's...

Floating.

Good luck finding a kid

Who wants a tub toy

that doesn't squeak.

There's plenty of kids

who might want a ducky like me.

Kids who need quiet,

like maybe a...

A ninja kid or, um, a...

Kid librarian.

I'll find a kid who wants me.

You'll see!

Right.

Well, if you need us,

just squeak.

Oh, wait.

You can't!

They'll see!

I'm going to find me a friend

I can treasure

I'm not like all the rest,

that's what they see

but someone out there

far away

I know waits for me

I know it in my heart,

I'm special

not so perfect,

but hey, I'm unique

I'm one day closer

to where I wanna be

to a friend that needs

a friend like me

I'm a lucky duck

'cause I'm on my way

to a best friend I believe

I'm a lucky duck

'cause I know inside

there's only one of me

gonna smile when they tell me

I'm different

'cause different's good, yeah,

someday they'll see

no matter what they say

or do

I won't give up on me

'cause I'm a lucky duck

And I'm on my way

to a best friend I believe

I'm a lucky duck

'cause I know inside

There's only one of me

there's only one of me

Ahhh!

I better find someplace

to ride out this storm.

Hello?

Dude, do you mind?

We're trying to glow

in the dark!

Oops, sorry.

Ha ha, sorry about that.

Hey. Hi.

Do you think I could stay

in here with you guys?

Outlook hazy.

Try again.

Please?

I really need a place to stay.

Signs point to no.

Everybody's a comedian.

Hello?

Hello!

Ahhhhhh!

Ugh! Whew!

Aaaah!

Whoa!

Oop!

Huh?

What are you doing in here?

Hiding!

Why?

'cause I'm scared!

It's okay.

I'm just a rubber ducky.

I'm scared of rubber duckies!

But I wouldn't hurt a fly.

I'm scared of flies, too!

Oop!

Look, I just need a place

to stay.

Go away!

Ah! Wait! Stay with me!

Let me guess.

Scared of thunder.

Mm-hmm.

Ah! Ooh!

You're a jumpy little guy.

Well, well being surrounded

by bullies in a scary crate

Does that to a toy.

I had to get out of there!

Me, too.

That is, the other toys

sort of kicked me out,

Cause I'm uh...

Different.

I'm different from all

the other tub toys.

But how?

I can't squeak.

Really?

That's great!

It is?

Yeah!

I'm scared of squeaks!

And I'm different, too.

I can't squirt.

My name's lucky.

Lucky duck.

They call me snap.

Look, snap, you can't spend

your whole life

Hiding out in a shell.

Why not?

It's nice and cozy in here.

You should get one!

How are you gonna find a kid to

take you home if you're hiding?

Ahhhh!

What are you doing in my cabin?

Your cabin?

Ugh, that stuffy crate

was terrible for my complexion,

So I have chosen this as

my cabin for the voyage.

They said you were

a reject, too?

Certainly not! Ha!

How could anyone consider

two different colored eyes

To be a flaw,

When it's actually a sign

of rare beauty?

Oop!

I merely decided to go

on this ocean cruise

To um... Get some sun.

I've been looking

a little pink lately.

Ha ha, I see.

And then, they kicked you out

of the crate for being a re...

Heh heh!

A really unhappy passenger?

Eh, something like that.

The name's flo.

Flo the hippo.

You've probably heard of me.

No, not really.

Oop!

At any rate, if you don't mind

finding someplace else...

Uh, but we were kind of

here first.

Weren't we, snap?

Snap?

Oop!

Ahhh!

Don't mind him.

He's just a little shy.

It's okay if you stay here

with us.

But she's pink, and...

You're scared of pink?

Exactly.

You can always go back into your

little shell and hide there.

But...

boo!

Aaah!

I suppose this arrangement

will do.

Arrangement?

What arrangement?

Boo!

Ahhh!

I think I could get used

to this.

What's that?

Come on.

Let's go check it out!

Hey!

Give me a hand here!

Hey! Hey!

There's a storm coming!

You better take shelter!

Lighten up, will ya?

It's time to have some fun!

Come on, tub toys!

See those waves rollin'

and a tumblin'

Feel the beat rockin'

and a rumblin'

Oh, whoa!

Slap your fins

on the deck now

pucker up and make a squeak,

it can't be missed

it's the tub toy twist

and you do it like this

the tub toy twist

time to party,

let's take it overboard

Come on monkeys, bang

and clang it all night long

shimmy, shake it,

frogs and tugs

let's do the dance we all love

and it goes like this

it's the tub toy twist

Uh, storm's coming.

And you shake it like this

it's the tub toy twist

Look at that wave!

It's the tub toy twist

the tub toy twist

That's what I call makin'

a splash!

Um, no, that is!

Ahhh!

Swim to the vent!

Get in!

Well, you wanted to take

a nice ocean cruise.

This was not in the brochure!

I'm getting seasick!

Ahhhhh!

Ugh!

Awesome!

Wahoo!

Again!

Ahhh!

Whoa!

Uh-oh!

Whoa! Ugh!

During this historic storm,

No ships or human lives

were lost at sea,

But a crate of tub toys

was swept overboard

In the middle of the ocean.

With me now is the owner of

the terrific tub toy company,

Mr. Bob bubbly.

We're offering

a substantial reward

And calling on anyone

with a boat

To help find our poor lost

tub toys.

A reward?

Dad!

Ugh!

Dad!

Hey, dad!

Ow!

Sorry, dad,

But there's this thing

they're talking about on tv!

They need boats to help

find some tub toys

That were lost at sea!

Tub toys?

Yeah!

Everyone's looking for them.

There's a reward and everything!
