[Music]

don't

friction

oh come thomas that door of yours

squeaks terribly yeah and it's not easy

to open either well that's because the

hinges are rubbing that's why your door

is not working right how can i fix it

just reduce the amount of friction how

with some oil on the hinges i can do it

for you because i've got to pack them up

all right

[Music]

can i help you sure you can wear the

pack-a-mat all right

friction is the force that tries to stop

something from sliding or rubbing

smoothly against something else

rubbing can make things wear out quickly

if there's a lot of friction if you want

less friction you need to put something

on the parts that rub against each other

like oil there are special kinds of

grease used to keep clocks and wheels

turning smoothly and for skis a special

kind of wax can be used to make them go

even faster

that's it now the top hinge

it's all done go ahead and check how

it's working

it's not squeaking i told you you guys

are the best i gotta go go where i'm

gonna go sledding maybe you'll take me

with you sorry nolick you don't have a

sled to ride on i'll see you later

[Music]

[Applause]

simca should i grease the saucer what

for it'll slide down the hill just the

way it is ah okay then

um wait here for me no look i'll be back

real soon with a surprise for you

yeah oh you're slippery i know what i'll

do hmm

[Music]

wow talk about no friction

[Music]

hey

uh anyone help help

no lick are you all right

just stay where you are i'll be right

there

[Music]

who called for me help is on the way

[Music]

hey what are you up to grandpa stay away

from here you'll fall over huh

what did you say stay where you are

oh

[Music]

what happened here i poured some oil on

the table

why'd you do that to reduce friction

that's brilliant

nobody move

i know exactly what to do

[Music]

and what was the problem you had with

the friction

i want to see all of this oil gone in

five minutes

huh

engineers are in a constant battle with

the force of friction they want less

friction so that cars will run faster

and their parts will wear out less

quickly but just imagine what the world

would be like if all of a sudden there

was simply no friction at all

everything would start slipping out of

our hands and falling off the table

knots would untie themselves and that's

not the half of it cars wouldn't be able

to run without friction either wheels

would spin around and around in one

place unable to grab onto the road

we wouldn't even be able to walk because

when we walk we move forward by pushing

off the ground with our feet and how can

we do that without friction we can't so

now i think you can see why it's not so

bad to have a little bit of friction in

our lives

[Music]

we cleaned it but it's still so stinky

no like i completely forgot i promised

you a surprise look what is it i made

you your very own saucer for sledding oh

that's great only what good is this

thing without snow

no lick hey look what i've got for you

snow yeah

is it real snow really

yep now you've got your very own hill to

sled on this is great what an awesome

surprise and you don't need oil to make

it go quickly

[Music]

pipe ball hands on the

what you doing here we are not simca

nolik we're courageous pirates yeah

pirates and today we need home for the

sea are you with us yes i am hooray

you mean no no hooray oh yeah you can't

join us without a test go and find a

special thing

something no sailor should ever sail the

sea without i can do it but how

with a map and it's over there

[Music]

i've never seen a map that's this puny

what are you talking about puny that

took us a half hour to make

from where you're standing now uh-huh

from here you mean it gets it right

first head to the north

until you will fight

hold on but where's the north it's where

the north pole

ice and polar bears are but how do i

know which direction the north pole is

by compass of course

a compass is a special tool that helps

sailors and pilots know in which

direction they're traveling whether in

the air or on the sea

our planet is like a big magnet that has

two poles

the north pole and the south pole these

magnetic poles help the needle in the

compass find its way the needle is

magnetized so one of its ends will be

attracted to the north magnetic pole and

point at it

while the other end will always point

towards the south

[Music]

that i know but there's no compass

around here then let's make one by

ourselves i don't know what we can use a

needle we just have to magnetize it and

how's it supposed to turn around in a

saucer of water

[Music]

[Music]

well there you go

now one end is pointing in the direction

of north and the other to the south but

which points where well there's the

window

so that can't be the right way the north

is there i'm really liking this sharp

little fella we've got here you calling

me a little fella no it's just the way

as pirates talk

all right then north we go

first head to the north until you see

a sleeping monster ladies ahoy monster

on the horizon let him do it himself

hmm

now turn to the left and go 300 paces

more

300 exactly accounting on myself uh-huh

okay then that means i'll go

one two

three

now straight ahead until you get right

up to the giant tree

[Music]

you call that a tree

wow amazing i can't believe my eyes it's

a real ship compass it's also called a

marine compass

[Music]

the first compass was invented more than

a thousand years ago in ancient china

with its help the chinese were able to

travel across the desert and about 200

years later the compass appeared in

europe whether the europeans came up

with the idea for the compass themselves

or took it from the chinese isn't clear

but one thing's for sure we fixies

remember how those early compasses were

built the first compasses were made with

a magnetized needle on top of a floater

inside a bowl of water later the needle

was put on top of a pin that let it spin

freely and it started to look like the

ones we use today since the needle of a

compass always points to the north a

sailor can easily figure out which

direction he needs to turn his ship if

he wants to go north he follows the

needle north if he wants to go south he

goes in the opposite direction

your dad brought it home with him late

last night from his work you were asleep

hold on i want to check something

what's up

yeah they line up together

of course they line up if not how else

would you have gotten here we're done

with the needle it has to go back first

headset 600

six for you matey

[Music]

the remote

hey simca the button got stuck on the

remote how can we get it back out of

there look and learn no like

please help

oh come on come on come on come on come

on oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

no like

hide somewhere

[Music]

[Music]

no look she stole the remote

no look

where are you hiding no lick

hello there fixies

hey where are you hey tom thomas you got

here just in time chasaka ran off with

the tv remote and so what i can turn it

on without it and my favorite cartoon is

just about to start forget about the

cartoons will ya know lick is missing

i'm afraid no lick hid inside of the

remote and you saka took it oh no no

it's in big time trouble tom thomas

there must be something you can do

chusaka chusaka

come here

[Music]

where is that dog hiding i'm gonna go

look in the other rooms

[Music]

here i am i'm over here

for now

i'll wait here

shusaka is not out there where are you

hey simka

i ran to get a pack-a-mat

what are you gonna do with it i'm gonna

search for the infrared ray that comes

out of the remote that's so great

but what is it

i'll explain it to you

inside of most remote controls there's a

special type of light bulb called a

light emitting diode or led for short

when we press a button the led sends an

invisible infrared ray

and in the tv there is a receiver for

these invisible rays the tv understands

the command that comes from the remote

control and carries it out like changing

the channel or the volume

[Music]

if the rays aren't visible then how's it

possible to see him in the pack of that

i've got these special goggles that can

help me

[Music]

and now what yell to knowledge get him

to close the contact on any one of the

buttons

no link you gotta push one of the

buttons down on the remote a button but

how am i gonna do that

wait one second two socket shoe socks

with a brain full of rocks

[Music]

[Music]

nothing for you here but here's

something

there he is

he's over there

[Music]

come here

do you want a hot dog

so you want to play tough

all right then

[Music]

hooray

you're in one piece how did you find me

by looking out for the remote's race

it's just a shame it's impossible for me

to see him what are you saying you can't

if you want to see infrared rays all you

have to do is look through a digital

camera try it for yourself

turn on the camera on a mobile telephone

now go ahead and press any button on the

remote control and point the camera

toward the front of it you'll see a

bright dot on the screen of the camera

that's the light emitting diode working

it's letting off a special light that

can't be seen by the naked eye

it's also possible to point the remote

control at a mirror and then through the

camera you can see how the light

emitting diode turns itself on so what

that means is that invisible rays bounce

off of a mirror in the same way that

regular light does

so you can control the tv by bouncing

the light from a remote control off of a

mirror you don't believe me

then go ahead and try it yourself

by the way

if your toys weren't all stuffed under

the bed we would have found the remote

without the goggles don't worry about it

when the cartoons are over i'll put them

away

so you done watching time to clean

the up play

oh hi there tom thomas what are you

doing here ah i dropped a paper clip

give me some light

[Laughter]

what's so funny huh we're trying to help

you out you've got funny shadows that's

what

[Music]

hey check this out

she looks more like a moose

i do huh

all right

you're like real actors performing in a

show

uh-huh actors playing a theater you know

and we're just under a bed and so what

how about we make our very own theater a

theater

with shadow glass

tom thomas we need a piece of paper a

huge sheet

it's really quite easy to make your own

shadow theater you can make the screen

out of a white sheet or a big piece of

paper next make sure the room is dark

and shine a desk lamp at the screen now

to make the shadows just put yourself or

a cardboard cutout between the lamp and

the screen

your shadow or the shadow of your

puppets will come to life but make sure

that the audience sits on the other side

of the screen the play will be much more

magical for them from that side

[Music]

tom thomas

light

[Music]

oh wow

you look totally like the real red

riding hood

hello dear granddaughter

hello dear grandmother grandmother what

very big eyes you've got the better to

see you with my dear

no look

come on we're rehearsing

the wolf's voice is funny grandmother i

never noticed what very big teeth you've

got there's so much better to eat you

with my dear yummy yeah yeah yep

let them out wolf

or out or out

get them out

myself ha ha you'll stop me with that

little stick hey that's not in the fairy

tale but in the fairy tale it's a normal

hunter and what do you think i am look

for yourself

you're way too small to be the hunter

fine then go to your plate without me

well i guess i'll have to make the

hunter out of paper then that's all take

a break i'm really thirsty she was so

salty that grandma no lick don't be

upset

the wolf is huge and i'm so little then

let's make you bigger

you see now you're bigger yeah you're

right

and if we go back here then i'm even

bigger

now you know if you go back here near

the lamp your shadow will get bigger on

the screen

[Music]

there are just so many different kinds

of theaters in the world in the dramatic

theater the actors speak the lines of

the playwright at the opera the actors

don't speak their lines they sing them

accompanied by an orchestra and here at

the ballet the performers don't speak or

sing their parts here the story is told

with dance there are also theaters where

the performers are animals

in an animal theater you can watch

performances by cats and dogs or goats

and pigeons or even bears and seals

there are also theaters where the

stories are told by puppets to tell the

truth the puppets are brought to life

with the help of people yes there are so

many different kinds of theater my

favorite is the shadow theater i think

it's the most beautiful and mysterious

theater of them all

hello dear grandmother grandmother what

very big eyes you've got

the better to see you with my dear and

grandmother what great big sharp teeth

you've got

oh the better to eat you up with my dear

um

oh just wait

aha

wolf i've got you

the hunter looks so strong

you're a hunter then where's your gun

why do i need a gun you're so tiny i

could use a fly swatter but i'd rather

do it like this like what with my bare

hands way to go

[Music]

[Applause]

was your favorite mine was the

grandmother well i think red riding hood

was the best for me the hunter

he was so mighty and so fearless and for

me the special effects

[Music]

the team

the first period is almost over

tom thomas's team is leading to nothing

there's no getting around the difference

in class

[Music]

over here

[Music]

go

three nothing

[Music]

and that's the end of the period time

for the teams to take a break

this isn't a fair game there's six of

these guys and only two of us ah go

ahead and call your classmates i'll

still ask you you sure about that

uh-huh

well tom thomas you asked for it

[Music]

young fixies take classes and study just

like human kids but fixy schools are

quite a bit different than schools for

people to begin with there are no more

than ten students in a room in simka's

class for instance there are six and the

children don't study in one place on one

day the lesson could be inside a

refrigerator the next day in a computer

and the day after that in a vacuum

cleaner this is the best way for fixies

to learn all about them and put their

new knowledge to the test

but the most important thing is that

they have to learn to work as a team and

help each other stronger fixies helping

weaker ones and older fixies helping

younger ones this is a mushy for fixies

because appliances are so very big that

if we didn't work as a team we literal

fixies could never get by

[Music]

as the second period is about to begin

our full team comes to the ice huh

introducing

the engine of our class

okay what's the score now here is the

spirit of our class

and

so you want to quit tom thomas

i'm not afraid here

[Music]

i'm calculating the angle to use

[Music]

wow that's some team you got there

[Music]

it's a blowout

now the intermission before the final

period we're missing something here i

can tell you what you mean confidence uh

calculations

i know speed

what's missing here's teamwork

cinta you're right it's one for all and

all for one and here's what we're gonna

do

[Music]

attacking check don't lose control a

line change on the

fly the puck is zooming towards the goal

to score and break the tie

[Applause]

it's one for all and all for one great

team work is a must

[Music]

this game was made for

[Music]

us is

[Music]

tell me again what's

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

what do you say now how did i get

creamed like that because you're by

yourself here and we are a team

[Music]

the wires

quiet down

get ready for your lesson be quiet quiet

down please oh it's so hot here

in today's class we'll learn about

oh

what was that huh it must have been an

earthquake

yeah it was an earthquake hooray

sorry there professor oh

i have to find an outlet so i can plug

in this van

it feels terribly hard it sure does well

keep looking you'll find one

now then where was i

oh right today oh

no it's impossible in this whole

laboratory there isn't one free outlet

look at this

just pull out one of these wires and

then you'll have a free outlet i can't

i fear i could pull out a plug for

something important ah volt himself

would get all tangled up in these wires

don't worry about it professor eugenius

we'll find a free outlet for you that's

right my colleague a cup of tea will do

you good so just go relax

thank you my colleague and as always i'm

eternally grateful

fixies have opened schools for their

children in all sorts of different

places like factories stores and

warehouses anywhere where there's lots

of machines and appliances and places to

hide from humans and this is where we

hold our school right here inside the

laboratory of professor eugenius

it's a fantastic place for me to hold

class every day new devices materials

toys and even food are brought here for

examination and there are lots of

scientific devices and tools to study

here as well but most importantly we

never need to hide from the head of the

laboratory because my colleague

professor eugenius is someone i'm proud

to call a friend he loves fixies helps

us anytime we need and we'll never let

our secret out

[Music]

what should we do first we have to start

out with pulling apart these wires

that'll take a second

[Music]

come on come on come on come on come on

just one more time

it i can't get out loose to the wires we

need to pull out this one

[Music]

stop this nonsense

[Music]

well the way i see it in order to get

the knot out that's over here we need to

expand the loop that's over there and

then push that wire through it and then

do it again from the other end

that's it

very good girls hey pull it hard

perfect

[Music]

hey check it out the screen wire up here

isn't plugged into anything

then no one's using it so that means we

should go and pull it out from the

outlet got it

[Music]

here's another wire that isn't plugged

in i found another wire no one's using

oh i mean think and i found it together

now lick why are you so upset

because you guys are doing all the work

how about this fire nobody's checked it

yet really

[Music]

oh wow

what did you find some treasure

knowledge uh-huh there are six free

outlets under here

great now professor eugenius can plug in

his fan and his kettle and even his

soldering iron

to get electricity to a device that

doesn't use batteries you need to plug a

pair of wires into an outlet but it's

important not to let the wires touch one

another or the electricity can burn them

out that's why wires are covered in

plastic or rubber so the electricity

won't pass from one wire to the other

or to us when we touch them so always be

very careful with wires and never ever

touch a bare wire you could get killed

by the electric shock

oh what would i do without my wonderful

friends thank you

ah sorry i just i didn't i wanted to

i should go

go ahead that's a great idea and we'll

start our class

uh

what were we talking about all about

wires

well it looks like our class is over

time to go play
