You must be hungry.
[Meko roaring] - Hungry dinosaur!
[both laughing] I love T-Rexes!
They have big scary teeth, but short little arms.
[both laughing] - Mine is a brontosaurus.
They have really long necks.
[gentle music] - Let's hang them up together when we're done.
- Yeah!
Dino-besties!
[both roaring] [both laughing] [playful music] - And... - Almost... - Done!
- Done!
[both laughing] - Oh my Mekosaurus Rex!
[roaring] - [gasping] I love it!
[gentle music] Do you like my bromenasaurus?
Huh, huh, huh?
[gentle music] Don't you like my painting?
- I do, yeah it's just yours is so good.
And mine is...it's bad.
[reflective music] - Your painting is awesome!
I love all the colors.
- Yours looks like a real dinosaur, and mine just looks silly.
- Well, there's no right or wrong way to paint, just different styles.
- Easy for you to say.
You're the best artist ever.
[reflective music] That's it, I give up.
[Mina gasping] [reflective music] [Meko grunting] - But what about your dream of becoming an artist?
- I'm not good enough, I'll never be.
[thoughtful music] - [gasping] Meko, look!
Look up there at the sky.
See how there are dark clouds, but we can still see the sun peek through?
- Yeah.
- Do you remember how hard it was for me to learn how to dribble a basketball?
It took forever.
Every time I messed up, I felt so heavy and dark like those clouds up there.
I wanted to give up.
But I figured out a way to make those clouds light and fluffy.
A way to help bring the sun back.
- Oh, I don't feel sunny right now.
I just feel cloudy.
- We can push those heavy clouds away.
[gentle music] - What do you mean?
- Imagine the heavy thoughts are dark clouds in the sky.
If we can push them away, we can make room for sunnier, happier thoughts.
- How do you do that?
- Okay, close your eyes and picture each heavy feeling as a dark cloud.
- Okay.
[gentle music] [clouds rustling and rumbling] There.
[gentle music] - [gasping] Good imagining, Meko.
Those sure are some dark clouds.
- Huh?
Whoa!
There's no room for sun at all.
- Now take all the power inside you, and push those dark clouds away.
Like this...push, push, push.
[clouds rumbling] - Okay.
Push, push, push.
Push.
- Keep pushing, and say, "Push the clouds away until the sky is clear."
[lightening rumbling] Send away the heavy thoughts and bring the sunshine near.
Now say it with me.
- [Both] Push the clouds away until the sky is clear.
Send away the heavy thoughts, and bring the sunshine near.
[upbeat music] - It's working!
It's getting lighter!
[birds chirping] I see you, sun.
Hm?
- Amazing Meko, keep going.
[birds chirping] [upbeat music] - Push the clouds away until the sky is clear.
- That's it.
- Send away the heavy thoughts, and bring the sunshine near.
[Mena gasping] [birds chirping] - Hey!
It worked!
I feel so much better.
[birds chirping] [glittery music] [cheerful music] - Ah, ah, the Mekosaurus Rex.
Made in my own style.
[chuckling] - And what a great style it is.
- Thank you, Mena.
Whenever your feelings are heavy, like dark stormy clouds, you can push those clouds away to make room for a light, sunny sky.
[clouds whooshing] - Push the clouds away.
- Until the sky is clear.
- Send away the heavy thoughts.
- And bring the sunshine near.
[both roaring] - I'm gonna get you Meko T-Rex.
