My Big Big Friend

S02:E04 - Hooray for You! / No Way, Karate

Yuri is excited to show his friends the ribbon he earned for his pasta art, but when Lili and Matt glaze over the accomplishment in their eagerness to play a game, Yuri takes refuge somewhere he’s appreciated: pasta land. Lili and Matt follow Yuri into his artwork, wondering what’s wrong, where they’re forced to earn ribbons through various difficult tasks in order to reach him. Proud of the ribbons they’ve earned, Lili and Matt come to realize that they didn’t give Yuri’s ribbon, or his pasta art, the accolades they deserved. --- Lili is excited to sign up for another ballet class, but when it’s full, her Mother implores her to try karate instead – which Lili does NOT want to do. In an effort to cheer her up, Nessa points out a pretty bird to Lili, which leads them into a large fantasy playground, where Lili is eager to play with the ribbons, but Nessa only wants to go on the swings. Lili convinces Nessa to give the ribbons a try and, after a few awkward attempts, she gets the hang of it and actually finds a few things that she likes about it! When it comes time for Lili to give that karate class a try, she’s a bit more open to the idea – after all, it IS good to try new things.
