Plot[]

Ni Hao, Halloween

Today is Halloween, and everyone is going trick-or-treating. Kai-Lan is dressed as a dinosaur, Tolee is dressed as a panda, Hoho is dressed as the Monkey King, and Rintoo is dressed as his favorite, a dragon. Everyone is very excited, but things go awry when Rintoo accidentally trips on a rock and sprains his ankle, ruining his chances of going trick-or-treating with his friends. Unfortunately, when Ye Ye tells him that he'll get better in the morning, Rintoo finds out that he won't be going trick-or-treating, gets upset and starts crying.

Kai-Lan and the gang finds out why and figures out what to do. Ye Ye is giving two of the Hula Ducks a pumpkin when Kai-Lan accidentally bumps into the table and knocks it out of their hand. She apologizes and Ye Ye finds out what to do with the crushed pumpkin. So he grabs a pie tin and scraps up the stuff inside of it. Kai-Lan and Tolee realize that if something goes wrong, they can find a way to make things better.

Back in Kai-Lan's room, they tell Rintoo that they can make things better for him, by making a bed car. Their plan works and Rintoo is finally able to go trick-or-treating. When the gang spots a party on Hula Duck Island, they make their way, but when one of the wheels break, Tolee and Hoho get upset. Rintoo tells them that they can make things better. Lulu appears in a ballerina dress and ties a few balloons to the bed, flying them across the island to the party. Kai-Lan sits on the bed with Rintoo, who finds out that he is able to walk again, if he rests for the rest of the night.

On their way to Hula Duck Island, the vehicle hits a hole and causes one of the wheels to break. Lulu appears in a ballerina costume, who then puts balloons on the dragon vehicle. They all arrive at the Hula Duck Island, just in time for the Halloween party with everyone else.

Trivia[]

  • The Monkey King, who is Kai-Lan's most ever very favorite superhero friend, happens to be first mentioned in this episode. The real Monkey King character would later appear in the hour-long specials, Princess Kai-Lan and Journey to Monkey King Castle.
  • This is the first main problem where someone's feelings are hurt directly, but not intentionally or from someone else.
  • The "when things go bad and you feel sad" song was used again in The Moon Festival.
  • The main problem is caused within 6 minutes in the episode, and the "We Got It" song is 12 minutes in the episode. Traditionally, most main problems are caused within 10-11 minutes in the episode and the We Got It song isn't until 15-16 minutes in the episode, which makes the problem solved quicker in this episode.
  • This episode happens to be the very first episode where someone has ever gotten hurt physically.
  • This is also the first episode in which someone has ever cried.
  • It is revealed in this episode that Ye-Ye can bike.
  • Unlike the previous occassions, Lulu is not called via her song.
  • In the Nickelodeon logo at the end of this episode, the byline is much better than it normally is.
  • This is the first episode where the title card is a different color. Most Ni Hao, Kai-Lan title cards are usually red. In this case, the title card is orange to match the Halloween color, while also being decorated with bats.

Errors[]

  • When the characters hear Rintoo crying they were smiling.
  • When Kai-Lan and Tolee go to her room to cheer up Rintoo, a section Tolee’s animation is partly cut of on the right side of the screen as he enters the scene.
