Key Discussion Points and Story Highlights

1. Arrival at Yeti Spaghetti & The Mysterious Sign

[02:29 – 05:40]

• Disco heads to Yeti Spaghetti, looking forward to a warm meal after his snowy trek.
• He notices a sign:
  “Under New Management”
  This worries Disco—has his friend Little Foot left?
• Inside, everything is unchanged: fire crackling, the familiar décor, and friendly chatter.
• Relief: Little Foot is still there! But something has changed.

Memorable Quote – Identity Change:

"That’s a little joke I'm having with myself. Because even though I'm still here, the truth is, Disco, something rather important about me's changed."
— Little Foot [05:15]

2. Little Foot's Big News: A New Name

[05:40 – 10:30]

• Little Foot announces he’s changing his name to “Spaghetti”—or, more formally, Spaghetti the Yeti.
• The name matches his greatest passion: making and eating spaghetti!
• Disco is supportive but admits it’ll take time to get used to.
• Little Foot reassures him:

  "It's OK to get it wrong sometimes... You don't have to apologise. It'll take some getting used to, but you'll get there eventually."
  — Spaghetti (formerly Little Foot) [07:30]

3. The Story Behind the Name

[10:30 – 23:20]

• Over a spicy bowl of pasta, Spaghetti shares how he came to choose his new name:
  • He received a letter from his friend “The Spaghetti,” an actual yeti with a body covered in strands of spaghetti.
  • They met in Italy, where Little Foot learned about a friend, Pietro, who changed his name to Ping Pong to reflect his love for table tennis.
• This inspired Little Foot to consider what name truly fits him, sharing:

"For quite some time I've been feeling that, like the name Littlefoot doesn't suit who I am as a person anymore. Not just because my feet are pretty big. I've been thinking about changing it for something that suits me better, too."
— Little Foot [19:05]

4. Searching for the “Right” Name

[23:20 – 33:00]

• The two yetis explore Little Foot’s favorite spots in Pillowy Peaks for inspiration:
  • The glittering ice cave: Name ideas “Stalactite” and “Stalagmite” are considered and set aside.
  • The rock formation that looks like a helicopter: “Helicopter” isn’t quite right either.
  • Icicle-filled fir trees: “Xylophone” is tried, but doesn’t feel like him.
• Through these playful suggestions, the story highlights that names should “feel just like you.”

5. Realization and Acceptance

[33:00 – 37:45]

• They end their adventure at Yeti Spaghetti with bowls of cheesy pasta.
• Spaghetti realizes what he loves most: "Spaghetti, of course."
• “The Spaghetti” joyfully confirms:

"That's your new name. Spaghetti the Yeti. Don't you think it has a brilliant ring to it?"
— The Spaghetti [36:45]

• The official name change is celebrated with a joyful spaghetti “cheers” and a shared meal.

6. Reflection and Friendship

[37:45 – 41:00]

• As Spaghetti finishes his story, Disco reflects on his own name and its meaning.
• Heartfelt message about friendship and identity:

"People can be called whatever they want to be called. A name is meant to make you feel happy and make you feel understood. It's meant to make you feel just like yourself. And that's what Spaghetti does for me."
— Spaghetti the Yeti [39:15]

• Disco promises to always be there for Spaghetti, no matter what name he has.

7. Cozy Close and Sweet Sleep

[41:00 – 43:35]

• Disco heads home through the snowy night, comforted by his friend’s happiness.
• Realization:
