00:00Hi, kids. Put your Winky Dink magic screen in front of your TV screen and 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!
00:17Winky Dink and You!
00:24Winky Dink and You!
00:26Winky Dink and Me!
00:28Always have a lot of fun together!
00:31Winky Dink and You!
00:33Winky Dink and Me!
00:35We are pals in fair or stormy weather!
00:43Aren't you going to school today, Winky Dink?
00:45Of course not, Woofer. It's Independence Day.
00:48Oh, so it is, so it is. But then we better get over to King Kooky's castle for the royal picnic and fireworks display.
00:56Great idea. Let's go.
00:58And so, my loyal subjects, it does my heart good to welcome you to this royal picnic.
01:06Good old King Kooky. He just loves giving speeches.
01:11And furthermore, I have decided to rename today's holiday.
01:16It shall no longer be called Independence Day, but rather Dependence Day.
01:23That doesn't sound very good, Woofer. I wonder what's going on.
01:27Ahem. Yes.
01:29In the future...
01:31In the future...
01:32You shall all be completely dependent on me.
01:36You shall all be completely dependent on me.
01:40And I shall take over all your land and money and do with them as I see fit.
01:48How dare you boo me? I'm your king.
01:54Now look what you've done. Tear him, scare him.
01:57Oh dear. I must go inside and calm down.
02:01I wanted to get the people so mad at King Kooky they'd make him abdicate.
02:06And then I could become king.
02:08But I've got a better idea. I'll just set this cannon to blow up all the picnic lunches.
02:15That'll really get the people mad.
02:19Look at that, Winky Dink.
02:21Tear him, scare him, shot off the royal cannon right at the picnic lunches.
02:25Boys and girls, there's not a moment to lose.
02:28Get out your magic crayon quickly and draw the front of the cannon.
02:32It should look like the letter O.
02:35Got it? Good.
02:40Hold on to your magic crayons, kids. There's more to do.
02:43Get set, Woofer.
02:44Now, gang, draw a handle from the O to Woofer's hand.
02:49Make it good and strong.
02:51Hold it real tight, Woofer.
02:56It worked.
02:58Okay, kids, now erase your drawing with your magic cloth.
03:01Get it all off. That's the way.
03:05Drat, that nosy Winky Dink has foiled me again.
03:09It's all your fault, Harem Scarem.
03:11You said my people would love me for making them more dependent.
03:14But now they're mad at me.
03:16But, Your Majesty, that's their way of showing affection.
03:21Just wait till I swipe all the fireworks and ruin their celebration.
03:27Won't they be angry then?
03:29So that's it.
03:31Harem Scarem is behind all this.
03:33Oh, you've got to help us again, kids.
03:35And fast.
03:37Take your magic crayon and draw some round wheels underneath this board.
03:42Just like the wheels on your roller skates.
03:45Make them nice and round.
03:46We have to stop Harem Scarem from stealing all the fireworks.
03:50Got it all in?
03:51Oh, thanks, kids.
03:54Oops.
03:55Who left that skateboard there?
03:58Help!
04:01Quick, kids.
04:03Erase your drawing with your magic cloth.
04:05Rub it all off.
04:06Oh, that's it.
04:13What do you know, Winky Dink?
04:15The fireworks display has started early.
04:18And we know why, don't we, boys and girls?
04:21And in conclusion, let me assure you, my loyal subjects,
04:26that there shall never be a change in our glorious celebration of Independence Day.
04:33Hurrah! Long live King Kooky!
04:37Independence Day, booey.
04:40Be sure to watch for our next exciting Winky Dink adventure, boys and girls.
04:45So long.
