Description:

Moving furniture is no fairy tale. It's sweaty and expensive, and you'll probably take a few chunks out of your freshly painted walls.

[Dino and Coop singing]

00:13

Olive has her moving costs all figured out. [Olive walks into her office]

00:16

So she sits down to call the moving company, which for some weird reason is called Eight

00:21

Dwarves Delivery Service...

00:23

Hm…maybe it’s not that weird...

00:25

…considering it’s run by eight dwarves.

00:27

Just as Olive is about to call the dwarves, a little girl in a blue hoody skips into the

00:31

office space.

00:32

Olive tells the girl that she shouldn’t be trespassing. [Girl in blue hood walks into Olive's office]

00:35

Trespassing can land you in jail, and in jail they’re very stingy with the snacks...

00:39

…Not that she…has any experience…ahem.

00:42

The girl laughs and introduces herself as Little Blue Riding Hood.

00:45

She’s heard that Olive is looking for a moving service.

00:49

Olive is immediately suspicious.

00:51

How does this hoody girl know that? [Olive pulls a questioning face]

00:53

Is she a hacker?

00:54

Is she using Three Seeing Mice as spies?

00:57

Little Blue Riding Hood tells Olive not to worry her pretty little head about it.

01:01

She thinks Olive won’t care where she got the info once Olive sees the amazing rates

01:05

of Little Blue Riding Hood’s Moving Company. [Advertising pamphlet for the moving company]

01:08

Turns out Little Blue Riding Hood is right.

01:10

Her rates are amazing.

01:11

So much for those Eight Dwarves.

01:13

They may have been short, but their rates were high.

01:16

Just as Olive is about to sign with Little Blue Riding Hood, the Two Little Pigs walk

01:20

in.

01:21

They have their own moving service, and they’re sure they can beat the Dwarves and this little girl. [Two pigs walk into Olive's office]

01:26

Little Blue Riding Hood says there’s no way they can beat her team of brawny Woodsmen...

01:30

Especially since the Two Pigs have been one pig down since the tragic wolf attack of 2016.

01:35

The pigs are determined to prove the blue hoody girl wrong.

01:38

They start rattling off their rates…

01:40

And then Little Blue tries to undercut them… [Girl in blue hood looks angry]

01:42

And then a brawny Woodsman threatens to start cutting with an axe.

01:46

Enough!

01:47

... Olive screams….

01:48

And she kicks them all out.

01:49

She’s going to do her own Google search.

01:51

She’ll compare all the prices and read all the reviews. [Olive using the computer to find local moving companies]

01:53

The next moving service she crosses off the list is Hansel and Gretel’s.

01:57

According to Yelp, they always get lost. ['Hansel and Gretel' looking upset in a car]
