I Am Bob Ross is an episode of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.
Plot[]
Yadina is painting a picture for her friend Ben but makes a mistake and is upset. They group travels to 1948 ("over seventy years ago") and they meet Bob Ross and his pet squirrel.
Yadina accidentally steps in a box and puts a hole in it, later finding out this was the home of Bob's squirrel. Bob makes the best of things and decides it has improved the habitat so the squirrel won't wander off.
The group goes forward in time 43 years to 1991 during Bob's "The Joy of Painting" and witnesses how he makes a mistake while painting mountains but incorporates it into the final.
Yadina returns to the future and modifies the messed-up painting of Ben's face into a balloon, since she knows Ben likes balloons.
