Synopsis
In the treehouse, Jason, Kim, and Carlos are making things with clay. Carlos is making a snowman and Kim is making a pizza. Jason has colored "snakes" to make a rainbow. They cooperate on making a rainbow as they sing "The Rainbow Song". After that, the clay rainbow begins to sparkle and a real rainbow shines through it. Carlos guesses that there may be a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, like in the old saying. As they get to the end, they discover that Barney is making it happen.

Barney transforms from a doll to a life-size form and greets the kids. Barney is satisfied by their clay artwork and hopes that one day they would make him in art. The kids decide to paint a picture of Barney holding a flowerpot, but the only paint tube colors in the treehouse are red, yellow, and blue. Barney explains that if they mix colors, they would make a new color. They sing "Mix a Color", as they mix colors for Barney's picture.

After Kim adds the finishing touches on Barney's toes, Barney looks at the picture and says "It's super-dee-duper! It's so much fun to paint a picture of you." Just then, Tosha comes with a movie camera, which is only a toy. She says she's been pretending to film movies. Barney, Jason, Kim, and Carlos decide to take a turn with it and they sing "Taking Turns".

Tosha wonders what it's like to make real movies, so Barney brings in an active movie camera and decides to make a big movie or a TV show or a video about things they see or hear or smell or taste or touch, which are called the five senses. Kim decides to call it "Barney's Sense-Sational Day". Everyone agrees. Barney and the kids become filmed into the camera while singing "The Having Fun Song".

After that, they all go to the playground for listening. Barney looks up a tree and sees a whistling mockingbird. Everyone sings "Listen to the Mockingbird". Then, they all play a listening game in the treehouse... which is modeled after a game show, named Did You Hear That?!, with Barney as the host and Jason, Kim, and Carlos as the contestants. Barney says he's going to play a sound and the kids have to guess which animal makes that sound. The only incorrect response is Carlos's uncle blowing his nose, which is actually an elephant.

The last sound is a whistle-call. In unison, the contestants buzz in and shout "It's BJ!" Barney claims them all winners, and BJ enters the scene. BJ accepts to be in Barney's movie. Outside, everyone listens to various everyday sounds as they sing "Listen".

Back in the treehouse, BJ wonders what he's going to be in the movie. He comes up with three ideas, but they don't go so well:
 * 1) BJ goes to be a cowboy, but he doesn't have much success with the lasso.
 * 2) BJ then becomes a baseball player, but he keeps getting strikeouts.
 * 3) BJ then becomes an astronaut on the moon, but discovers that he's all alone.

Then, Jason gives him a green cape. BJ decides that he's going to be a superhero in the movie. In the playground, Barney shows BJ that big strong heroes need lots of exercise. Everyone sings "The Exercise Song". After that, Kim says that exercise isn't the only way to be strong. Eating healthy foods is another one.

Barney blindfolds BJ and the kids for another game: they have to identify healthy foods by their looks and taste. Carlos has a carrot, Tosha has an apple, Jason has a broccoli, Kim has a celery, and BJ has a pickle. Next, Barney displays a rutabaga. When BJ asks how it tastes, Barney says "Get ready for the rutabaga rumble!" before he crunches it with force, causing the ground to shake. Barney adds, "Now that's what I call a healthy snack!" Barney, BJ, and the kids, dressed as healthy foods, sing "Have a Snack!".

Next, Barney shows that brushing teeth is another healthy trait, so your teeth will look good and healthy. They sing "Brushing My Teeth". After that, Barney sees the kids and BJ's smiles. BJ says his smile would look better with pickle-flavored toothpaste. This gives BJ an idea that the movie will have pickles in it, and his hero name would be Captain Pickles! Barney agrees with his idea and everyone works on the set, reprising "The Having Fun Song".

Later, BJ says he can't wait for the movie to be released into theaters. Barney points out that the theater is right there - the school, which is modeled into the Super-Dee-Duper Theater. Barney goes in for tickets to his movie. Everyone goes into the classroom, which is modeled into a snack concession stand. Barney shows everyone a snack that they use they five senses with - popcorn. They all sing "The Popcorn Song".

Then, they go into the screening room where the movie, Captain Pickles Saves The Day, is just beginning. In it, Bobby's mother, played by Tosha, warns her son, played by Jason, not to get lost into the deep woods. However, Bobby ends up lost in the woods and doesn't find his way home. Just then, Muscle Boy, played by Carlos, shows up, as well as Speedy Girl, played by Kim, and Captain Pickles, played by BJ. Bobby asks is any of them can help find his way home. Muscle Boy says he can lift heavy rocks. Speedy Girl can run as fast as lightning. Captain Pickles says he can use the power of a pickle to find Bobby's way home, much to the three kids' confusion. Captain Pickles says he can smell a pickle a mile away, and follows the smell back to Bobby's home, where his mom is preparing pickles for lunch and invites the three heroes. Captain Pickles concludes, "Say, this is a little dilly!", and the movie comes to an end.

Outside the school, Barney reviews that they used all five senses for his movie. Everyone sings "The Five Senses Song", while they go back in the treehouse. After the song is over, Barney wants to make one more video to make their fun day come to an end, and he makes a video of him, BJ and the kids singing one final song - "I Love You". After that, BJ went home to tell Baby Bop about his day, so he disappears. The kids also had to get home too, but they say their goodbyes to Barney as they leave the treehouse. Tosha stops at the door to turn around to see Barney back in doll form, holding a small tub of popcorn. She smiles before she leaves, as the camera pans to Barney, who winks. Song Color Song
