Synopsis[]
When Animal gets a case of the sneezies, he doesn’t want to go to the doctor.
Full Synopsis[]
The kids are at a small table, making friendship bracelets out of flowers, which was Summer's idea. Miss Nanny enters and brings more flowers for the bracelets, and the kids thank her and give her a bracelet. While Miss Nanny goes to chop up some apples for the kids, Fozzie suggests they go outside and play. They try to think of games, when Animal starts to sneeze.
His friends wonder why Animal is sneezing, and Gonzo thinks he is speaking "Sneezish", but Kermit thinks he has a disease called "the sneezies", which he himself had once but recovered after being taken to the doctor. Animal is afraid of going to the doctor, so when his friends start to walk off to tell Miss Nanny, he stops them, tells them he is fine now, and suggests they play "Rocket Tag". Kermit notices that Animal is no longer sneezing, so he agrees.
They play tag, and Gonzo wins, but Animal sneezes again, prompting his friends to believe he really does have the sneezies. Animal says that he doesn't want to go to the doctor and when Fozzie asks him why (pointing out that he should want to recover), Animal explains that he's afraid because he's never been before. Kermit suggests that since the unfamiliarity is what's scaring Animal, they should take him to a doctor he knows.
However, they don't know anyone who's a doctor, so Kermit and Fozzie pretend to be doctors instead. They pretend to examine him and say, "Interesting" several times, and then Fozzie tries to make Animal laugh to cure his sneezies because "laughter is the best medicine". He makes his propeller hat fly, juggles, and slips on a banana peel, which does make Animal laugh but doesn't cure his sneezing.
Gonzo then tries to cure Animal's sneezies by firing him out of a cannon into a kiddie pool full of macaroni, which all their friends are dubious about. This doesn't work either, so they tell him that he needs to see a real doctor. Animal runs away, his friends chase him, and Gonzo finds him in the henhouse disguised as a chicken, but falls for the disguise.
Miss Nanny comes out with the children's snacks, then asks where Animal is. His friends explain the situation, then Animal sneezes from the chicken coop, forcing him to come out. He explains that he's afraid of the doctor, and Miss Nanny says that she used to be too when she was a little girl. She then reassures him in song and takes him to the doctor.
When Animal comes back, Miss Nanny reveals that Animal never had the sneezies; he was just allergic to the flowers used in the bracelets. His friends decide to make new bracelets out of macaroni, and then Animal reveals that the doctor gave him a lollipop. Gonzo wants to go to the doctor too and pretends to sneeze, but Miss Nanny isn't fooled. Then, Gonzo starts eating the apple slices.
