Hop Side to Side Warm-Up The Boohbahs follow Humbah's lead as they hop from side to side.
022 The High Wall Storyworld The children blow a tall, long brick wall into Storyworld. Mr Man shows up on one side of the wall and tries climbing it to the other side, but it's too tall. Brother and Sister show up on the other side of the wall and they try to climb it as well until Brother (with Sister's aid) is able to make it over to Mr. Man's side. They encourage Sister to join them, but she can't climb the wall on her own, so Brother helps Mr Man make it to Sister's side. They encourage Brother to join them, but now he's stuck on the other side of the wall, so Mr Man helps Sister reunite with Brother on his side. Just as Mr Man tries climbing the wall himself again to join Brother and Sister, the children stop the action and blow in what ultimately helps him do so: three doors for them to easily get to whatever side of the wall they choose.
Snapshot 1 (16-04-2018 12-37 PM) Boohbah Dance Hiding in a Line: Each Boohbah takes turns leading a line, which the other four hide in and peek out of.

This dance was originally performed in "Pearly Shells".

Trivia[]

  • This is the first of three times where, as the "Somebody's Coming!" music plays for the second time, instead of the screen freezing, the Storypeople onscreen at that moment look around to try to see who is coming before that Storyperson pops up. The second time is in "Cracker" and the third time is in "Stream".
  • This is the first episode with the "Hop Side to Side" warm-up.
  • A door, albeit just one of them, would be the primary focus of a Storyworld segment two episodes later.

Quotes[]
