Transcript: Snowy Owl Invasion
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
Then, a globe spins and an area in the Canadian southeast near Newfoundland appears highlighted.
Now the brothers walk in a gentle snowstorm on a snowy plain with woodland in the background.
MARTIN says HEY, WE'RE HERE
IN NORTH AMERICA!
Chris says WAY UP NORTH, NOT QUITE
THE ARCTIC, BUT GETTING CLOSE.
Martin says IN A HABITAT KNOWN AS
THE NORTHERN WOODLANDS.
IT'S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS!
I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
WHEN YOU'RE HIKING AROUND
THROUGH THE SNOW
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR,
THERE ARE LOTS OF SNOW PILES,
SNOW HILLS AND SNOW BUMPS.
Martin says BUT MAKE SURE
YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
BECAUSE SOME OF THAT SNOW
MIGHT BE MORE THAN JUST SNOW.
LOOK FOR THE YELLOW EYES.
Chris points and says THERE!
They both say A SNOWY OWL!
A large white speckled owl appears.
Chris says A SNOWY OWL IS
AN ARCTIC CREATURE,
FROM A LAND WHERE
THERE ARE NO TREES.
SO WHY WOULD YOU FIND
A SNOWY OWL THIS FAR SOUTH?
Martin says ABOUT EVERY 4 YEARS THERE'S A
VERY SPECIAL WILDLIFE EVENT,
WHEN MANY SNOWY OWLS
START FLYING SOUTH
IN WHAT'S CALLED "AN ERUPTION."
Chris says THEY'LL FLY DOWN TO OTTAWA,
BOSTON, WASHINGTON DC,
EVEN ALL THE WAY
DOWN SOUTH TO FLORIDA.
Martin says JUST LIKE OUR GRANDPA!
SO IF YOU EVER GET
LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL LIVE AND IN PERSON,
CHECK OUT THEIR CREATURE POWERS.
As the brothers describe it, close-ups show different parts of the owl.
Chris says AMAZING YELLOW EYES THAT
CAN SEE FOR A KILOMETRE.
Martin says AND A HEAD THAT CAN
SWIVEL 280 DEGREES!
Chris says STRONG TALONS!
Martin says TOES COVERED WITH
WARM HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS.
Chris says AND WHAT A POWERFUL FLYER!
Martin says WITH SPECIAL WING FEATHERS
THAT SILENCE THE FLAPS.
Chris says THAT ALL MAKES THE SNOWY OWL
A DANGEROUS PREDATOR.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD FLY
THROUGH THE WINTER
WITH SNOWY OWL POWERS!
They both say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says On adventure with the coolest creatures, from the oceans to the trees, the Brothers Kratt are going places you never get to see, hanging with their creature friends. Get ready, it's the hour, we're gonna save some animals today with Creature Power! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, wild!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z. send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues
Cheetah speed and lizard glide, Falcon flight and lion pride, Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts. Go wild, wild, Wild Kratts!
The title appears... Wild Kratts.
Against a clip of Mom and Baby Stuffo Panda, a caption reads "Snowy Owl Invasion." A caption reads "Created by Martin Kratt, Chris Kratt. Written by Martin Kratt."
A VOICE says SNOWY OWL INVASION
Two struggling brothers morphed as Pandas roll by.
(GRUNTING)
To Koki, Aviva says CAN YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVE?
Koki says I FORGOT AN HOUR AGO.
OOH!
Martin says I CAN SWIM UNDERWATER
FASTER THAN YOU.
Chris spins him, then hangs above him from a bamboo stalk. Stuffo comes up.
(GRUNTING)
WHOA!
OOF!
HMPH!
Chris says WELL, I CAN CLIMB BAMBOO
FASTER THAN YOU.
Martin is tossed into the air above the forest and waves his arms and says UH-OH!
WHOA!
PANDAS DON'T FLY!
AAH!
Chris says THAT WAS EASY.
To Stuffo, he says HEY, BUD!
WANNA PLAY?
Martin falls on him.
(YELLING)
UH-OH.
The three crew members watch and laugh.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY, STUFFO!
(LAUGHING)
Jimmy Z. says DO THAT AGAIN, BROS!
(ALARM BLARING)
THE WILD KRATTS ALARM.
THERE'S A DISTURBANCE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
The Creature Pod shows a pulsating blue pawprint.
Aviva says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Koki says NOT SURE.
LET'S GET BACK
TO THE TORTUGA!
SEE YA!
Chris knocks Martin off.
Martin says WHOA!
BYE, STUFFO!
SEE YOU LATER!
They both get stuck in the Tortuga doorway.
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Koki says WILD KRATTS TEAM HERE.
IT'S KATIE!
On the big screen, Katie, an Inuit, says THERE'S A SNOWY OWL
SITTING ON MY SWING SET.
Koki says THAT FAR SOUTH?
A girl in Florida says HI, KOKI!
I THOUGHT IT WAS
A WHITE PELICAN,
BUT THEN IT TURNED ITS HEAD.
Koki says A SNOWY OWL ALL THE WAY
DOWN IN FLORIDA?
THERE ARE SNOWY OWLS BEING
SPOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Aviva says HMM.
Chris says MARTIN, WE GOTTA
GET IN THERE!
Martin says I KNOW!
HEY, LET'S DEACTIVATE.
Chris says YES, OF COURSE!
They press buttons and return to human form.
(GROANING)
Martin says I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
SNOWY OWLS ARE AN ARCTIC SPECIES
OF THE TREELESS TUNDRA!
THEY BELONG UP HERE,
WAY UP NORTH.
He points to an area of Northern Canada shaded in orange.
Chris says BUT SUDDENLY THEY'RE
SHOWING UP SO FAR SOUTH,
IN PLACES THEY DON'T
NORMALLY LIVE!
WHY?
Martin says IT'S A SNOWY OWL INVASION!
Chris says AND A CREATURE MYSTERY.
WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.
Aviva says BUT WE'RE SO FAR AWAY,
WAY OVER HERE IN CHINA!
Martin says I'VE GOT IT!
WE'LL FLY STRAIGHT OVER
THE NORTH POLE.
THAT'S THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE,
AND WE'LL PASS OVER THE ARCTIC,
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris says OH, YEAH, AND AS WE PASS BY,
WE CAN DROP IN AND LOOK FOR
SOME CLUES AS TO WHY SO MANY
SNOWY OWLS HAVE LEFT THE ARCTIC.
EVERYBODY...
TO THE ARCTIC!
The Tortuga zooms off.
(Jet engines)
Seen through the window of her palace, Donita shivers.
Donita says DABIO, MY EARS ARE COLD.
Dabio says LOOK, DONITA!
THAT'S A BIG SNOWFLAKE!
A white owl flies through the falling snow. It perches on the head of Donita's statue.
Donita says HUH?
(GASPING)
OH, MY!
She slurps a cup of tea.
(SLURPING)
(CACKLING)
The Tortuga lands in the Arctic, the hatch opens and they all stand looking at the snowy expanse. Martin opens his arms and takes a deep breath.
(SNIFFING)
Martin says AHH, THE TUNDRA!
FLAT, TREELESS, SNOWY, AND COLD.
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris moves out and says ALRIGHT, TIME TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE
AND WHY THE SNOWY OWLS
MIGHT BE LEAVING.
He stands on an off-white higher area and looks out, shading his eyes from the glare. It rises and turns into a polar bear.
(GROWLING)
Martin says UH... CHRIS?
Chris says OOH, OKAY,
FOUND A POLAR BEAR!
WHOA!
They both say OOF! AAH!
Knocked over, Martin grabs a long white object and says HMM, WHAT IS THIS?
(SNORTING)
(LAUGHING)
He says OH, A WALRUS!
(LAUGHING)
The walrus swings him up on its back by its tusk.
Martin says WAHOO!
OH, YEAH!
(LAUGHING)
The walrus gallops like a bucking bronco, then throws Martin over the others.
Martin says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA...
WHOA!
Koki says LOOK OUT!
Martin lands in a drift and says OOF!
Aviva says HEY, A SNOWSHOE HARE!
They both say WAH!
Jimmy Z. comes up and says WELL, YOU FOUND SOME
WILDLIFE REAL QUICK,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH, WHERE ARE THE SNOWY OWLS?
Koki says IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
TO FIND THEM.
Chris says HMM, ALL RIGHT.
WHY DON'T KOKI AND I SET UP
A MOBILE RESEARCH CAMP.
He throws a blue parcel on the ground. It shakes, then morphs into a gray camp tent, complete with accessories.
Chris says WE'LL STAY AND SEARCH
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS
AND MORE CLUES
IN THEIR NATIVE HABITAT.
Covered with snow, Martin comes up and says AND WE'LL HEAD SOUTH
IN THE TORTUGA
TO TRACK THOSE
INVADING SNOWY OWLS.
BRR! (shakes snow off)
Chris says WE'LL EACH COLLECT CLUES
AND ADD THEM TOGETHER.
Martin says THAT'S HOW WE'LL FIGURE OUT
THE MYSTERY OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
LET'S GO!
ALL say BYE!
The crew gets in the Tortuga and it takes off.
Back at Donita's palace, she looks at the owl on the head of the statue.
Dabio says DONITA, WHERE DID THESE
FLUFFY WHITE BIRDIES COME FROM?
(SIGHING)
Donita says NOT INTERESTED.
AND DON'T ASK ME
WHY THEY ARE HERE.
ALL I KNOW IS THEY ARE
PRECISELY WHAT I WANT!
NOTE THE FLUFFINESS AND APPARENT
WARMTH OF THE WHITE FEATHERS.
THESE OWLS WILL MAKE THE
WARMEST AND MOST WONDERFUL
WHITE WINTER HATS!
POSE BEAM.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
He beams the owl.
Donita says LIFT ME, DABIO!
He lifts her, and she picks up the immobilized owl, then puts it on her head.
WOO! OH!
THIS IS IT!
OH, IT'S BEEN SUCH
A QUIET WINTER SEASON.
THE FASHION WORLD HAS BEEN
DESPERATELY WAITING
FOR THESE WINTER HATS.
DONITA DONATA
ONCE AGAIN DELIVERS!
OOH, IT'S SO WARM.
The scene changes to the Canadian woodlands.
(RUMBLING)
Katie sits with two boys and says THEY'RE HERE!
Ronan says WILD KRATTS!
The hatch opens and Martin runs down the ramp and says HEY, EVERYBODY!
Aviva says WE MADE IT!
Martin says WOW! NOW THAT'S AN AWESOME OWL.
Aviva says AH, QUE BONITA!
Katie says WE WERE JUST MAKING A SNOWMAN,
AND THEN THE OWL LANDED.
Martin says HEY, I THINK I'M GETTING
SOMETHING HERE.
A GREAT NAME FOR A SNOWY OWL.
I'M GONNA CALL YOU...
Ronan says WE ALREADY GAVE HIM A NAME.
His brother says YEAH, MARTIN.
WE NAMED HIM
LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!
Katie says YEAH, HE HAS A NAME.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says WELL, WHAT IS IT THEN?
ALL say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL!
Martin says FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL...
HMM, I LOVE IT!
They all march around the owl on the snowman.
(Lyrical music plays)
Singing, he says "FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL
LEFT THE ARCTIC TUNDRA ONE DAY
HE FLEW DOWN HERE
AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHY HE CAME OR WILL HE STAY
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP,
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP
LOOK AT FROSTY FLY
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP,
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP
A SNOWFLAKE IN THE SKY."
ALL say
FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL!
Martin says AH, THANK YOU!
(LAUGHING)
Aviva says VERY ENTERTAINING, MARTINO,
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY
FROSTY HAS COME
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
Martin says YEAH.
I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND
THE OWL IS TO "BE" THE OWL.
UH, SNOWY OWL POWER DISC?
Aviva says UH, WE'VE NEVER MADE
A SNOWY OWL POWER DISC.
Martin says WHAT?
BUT SNOWY OWLS ARE ONE OF THE
MOST AMAZING OWLS IN THE WORLD!
The kids say YOU DO HAVE AN
ELF OWL POWER DISC.
AND A BURROWING OWL DISC.
Martin says HMM, OWLS DO HAVE SOME
BASIC FEATURES IN COMMON.
ONE, THEY CAN ROTATE
THEIR HEAD 270 DEGREES.
TWO, THEY HAVE BETTER HEARING
THEN HAWKS AND EAGLES.
AND THREE, THEY HAVE
ROUND-LOOKING HEADS.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
AN OWL AN OWL.
Aviva says YES, THOSE ARE SIMILARITIES
I CAN BUILD ON.
WE COULD START WITH THE
BASIC OWL, AND FROM THERE,
I'LL PROGRAM THE SPECIAL
FEATURES OF THE SNOWY OWL,
STARTING WITH THE SUPER WARM,
FLUFFY WHITE FEATHERS.
Martin says AND HERE'S A WOW-FACT...
SNOWIES HAVE
THE WARMEST FEATHERS OF
ANY OWL IN THE WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT.
THE FEET OF THE SNOWY OWL
ARE COVERED IN FEATHERS!
MOST OWLS HAVE
BARE FEET, YOU KNOW.
Aviva says WELL THEN, I'D BETTER ADD
FEATHER-COVERED FEET TO MAKE IT
A SNOWY OWL POWER SUIT.
TIME TO GET INVENTING!
Out in the tundra, Chris and Koki are walking in snowshoes.
Chris says LOOK!
A SNOWY OWL!
IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND ONE!
Koki says THIS IS THE FIRST OWL
WE'VE SEEN ANYWHERE.
Chris says I DON'T GET IT.
THIS IS WHERE SNOWY OWLS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
THIS IS THEIR HABITAT.
THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR
THE COLDEST WEATHER
ALL YEAR LONG,
IN THE ARCTIC.
BUT THERE AREN'T
MANY AROUND.
The owl flies away.
On the Pod, from the woodlands, Martin says WELL, THERE ARE
A LOT DOWN HERE!
HEY, AVIVA.
Aviva says HMM?
Martin says ANOTHER ONE LANDED
JUST BEHIND YOU!
Aviva says WHAT?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
WHOA!
(LAUGHING)
She stands by it and says OWLS ALWAYS SURPRISE ME.
Martin says EXACTLY!
OWLS ARE SURPRISE ARTISTS.
OWLS HAVE SOFT FEATHERS IN
THEIR WINGS THAT MUFFLE SOUND.
The owl flies off, silently.
Martin says HEAR THAT?
Katie says NO.
Martin says EXACTLY.
Ronan says WHERE'S FROSTY GOING?
Aviva says AND THIS OWL'S EYES!
THEY'RE LIKE GOLD!
BEAUTIFUL!
(MARTIN CHUCKLING)
Martin says WOW, EYES LIKE GOLD.
I'VE GOT IT,
I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
Ronan says GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says HA! HEY!
Aviva says THIS IS ALL GREAT STUFF
FOR AN OWL POWER SUIT!
RONAN says FROSTY'S CHASING GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says WHOA!
INTERESTING.
At her palace, Donita looks at herself in the mirror
She says OH, YES, IT'S PERFECT!
BUT I'LL NEED TO
COLLECT MORE MATERIAL.
DABIO, THIS IS AN IDEAL
ASSIGNMENT FOR MY NEW
MANNEQUIN COLLECTOR UNITS.
Dabio says HA-HA, OH GOODY, GOODY,
GOODY, GOODY, YEAH!
The three mannequins float down from a hatch that opens in the ceiling. They pose with one hand on a hip and the other arm straight out. Pose-beams spurt from the palms of their hands.
Donita, holding the owl up, says STRIKE A POSE.
THIS, THIS IS THE MATERIAL
YOU WILL BE COLLECTING.
POWER UP POSE BEAMS.
DEPLOY FOR COLLECTION.
(EVIL CACKLING)
Back in the Tundra, looking through binoculars, Chris says HEY, THIS OWL SEES SOMETHING!
Koki says LET ME SEE!
Chris says SNOWY OWLS HAVE
AMAZING POWERS OF SIGHT.
A SNOWY OWL CAN SEE MOVEMENT
FROM A KILOMETRE AWAY.
INCOMING! ANOTHER SNOWY OWL!
(OWL SCREECHING)
(Dramatic music plays)
WHOA, THE OLD OWL DOESN'T
LIKE THE NEW OWL BEING HERE.
Koki says LOOK, HE'S CHASING HIM AWAY!
Chris says HE DROVE HIM OFF.
THEY'RE VERY TERRITORIAL.
Koki says CHRIS, THAT MAY BE
ANOTHER CLUE TO OUR MYSTERY!
Back in the woodland, Martin says IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY
SNOWY OWLS ARE DOWN SOUTH.
Aviva, grabbing the programmed disc, says AND THERE'S SOON TO BE ONE MORE! READY TO BECOME PART OF THE
SNOWY OWL INVASION, MARTIN?
Martin catches the disc and says UH, YEAH!
ACTIVATE SNOWY OWL POWERS!
He presses the pawprint and morphs into a giant snowy owl.
Martin says WOW!
(CHEERING)
THIS SUIT IS COMFY!
Aviva and the kids, snuggling up say OOH, SOFT!
AND WARM!
LIKE A FUZZY,
FEATHERY COMFORTER!
(LAUGHING)
Martin says COME ON, GUYS!
LOOK AT HIS FACE.
THIS IS ONE SERIOUS CREATURE.
NO MORE HUGS!
Gold Nugget takes off and Martin does too, flying in pursuit.
Martin continues AND HE IS HUNTING.
FOR SURVIVAL!
HMM, SO WHAT'S HE LOOKING FOR?
A hare with big feet leaps along. Nugget pounces, but misses.
Martin continues AHA, A SNOWSHOE HARE!
PHEW! HE GOT AWAY THIS TIME!
Holding a tablet, Jimmy says YEAH, BUT LOOK AT WHAT ELSE
SNOWY OWLS ARE CATCHING!
CANADA GEESE...
AND SMALL ALLIGATORS!
They are seen pouncing on the prey.
Martin says IT'S AMAZING.
THE SNOWY OWL IS
SUCH A STRONG PREDATOR.
SHE CAN CATCH BIG PREY
OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
BUT ODDLY, SHE MOSTLY LIKES
TO HUNT SMALLER RODENTS.
A SNOWY OWL CAN CATCH
1,600 SMALL RODENTS A YEAR!
HEY, THAT'S WHAT WE DIDN'T
SEE IN THE ARCTIC.
SMALL RODENTS!
(PHONE RINGING)
Chris holds up his pawprint Pod and Martin appears flying on screen.
Martin continues CHRIS, HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
SMALL RODENTS UP THERE?
Chris says NO.
YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T.
Koki says I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EITHER,
AND IN THIS WHITENESS,
A LITTLE BROWN RODENT LIKE
A LEMMING SHOULD STAND OUT,
AND THERE SHOULD BE MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF THEM
IN THIS AREA AROUND US.
Chris scratches his chin and says HMM...
AHA! OF COURSE!
THE LEMMINGS MUST BE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
WE'VE GOT TO CHECK, AND THERE'S
ONLY ONE WAY TO DO THAT.
WITH THE MINIATURIZER!
He throws the miniaturizer on the ground and it deploys. the beam appears. They hop into it and come out ant-size.
They both say MINIATURIZE!
Chris says OKAY, NOW WE JUST HAVE
TO FIND A WAY INTO...
The snow opens up under them and they both say WHOA!
(YELLING)
They slide down through a tunnel until blades of grass appear. they land on a patch of withered grass.
They both say OOF!
WE'RE HERE!
THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
(RUMBLING)
Koki says DO YOU HEAR THAT?
(RUMBLING)
A horde of lemmings run out of a tunnel opening.
Chris says AAH! AAH!
(YELLING)
To avoid being trampled, they jump on the backs of the lemmings and say OOF!
Chris says OH, IT'S LIKE A NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR!
Koki says I THINK THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT CLUE!
Chris says THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LEMMINGS,
THE SNOWY OWL'S FAVORITE MEAL.
Koki says BUT THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE SNOW,
SO THE SNOWY OWLS
CAN'T GET TO THEM.
Chris says NOW THAT MUST HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE SNOWY OWLS
FLYING SOUTH.
In the woodland, Aviva says LOOK, FROSTY'S BACK!
Martin says AND SO AM I!
AND I CAN TELL YOU,
SNOWY OWL POWERS ARE AMAZING!
HUH?
FLYING MANNEQUINS?
Ronan says THEY'RE AFTER FROSTY!
Katie says AND GOLD NUGGET!
One catches Nugget.
Ronan's brother says OH NO... POOR GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB
FOR SNOWY OWL POWERS!
YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAY!
ALL say TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Flying up to the Mannequin, he says OH, NO YOU DON'T!
DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ME COMING!
HEAD NORTH, FROSTY!
Donita's pink Stratocruiser appears.
(LAUGHING)
Donita says THIS IS FABULOUS!
BUT I NEED MORE, DABIO!
LET'S LAND AND
SEARCH FOR MORE!
Dabio says OKIE DOKIE, DONITA.
Aviva, standing with Jimmy Z. and the kids says DONITA WITH A SNOWY OWL HAT?
MARTIN, DONITA'S CAPTURING
SNOWY OWLS TO MAKE WINTER HATS!
LOOK OUT!
MORE OF DONITA'S
ATTACK MANNEQUINS!
Martin says HEY, DONITA!
SNOWY OWLS ARE ANIMALS,
NOT MATERIALS!
YAH! ARGH!
Donita says OH, SO IT'S A FLYING MARTINO.
CATCH HIM AND PUT HIM IN THE "JAR."
WITH THE REST OF THE OWLS!
The mannequins fire their pose beams, but Martin dodges them.
Martin says OOPS, MISSED ME!
As he flies past, Donita says GET HIM!
Aviva says COME ON, VAMONOS!
LET'S RESCUE THE SNOWY OWLS
AND GET THEM TO SAFETY!
WOO, MISSED AGAIN!
She releases all the owls from their transparent cage.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio says WHERE'S A DUCK?
I LIKE DUCKS
MUCH BETTER THAN OWLS!
A mannequin, thrown by Martin hits him and knocks him back into the plane.
Dabio says OH. OOF!
Donita says DABIO, DABIO, WHERE'D YOU GO?
(Epic music plays)
Another mannequin shoots a beam and misses. Martin catches it and throws it toward the door of the plane.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio appears and says ANOTHER DUCK?
He gets hit by the mannequin and says OOF!
(GROWLING)
Donita says CATCH HIM!
(LAUGHING)
Martin says GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
(MURMURING)
(EVIL CACKLING)
Donita says WE'LL USE HIM FOR
A PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY
FOR MY NEW SNOWY OWL HATS!
HE'LL BE A MANNEQUIN
IN THE STORES.
MARTIN THE MANNEQUIN.
STUFF HIM IN WITH THE OTHERS!
(SNICKERING)
Aviva says ALL SAFE.
NOW WE NEED A PLAN TO
TURN OFF THE POSE BEAM.
Katie says AVIVA, LOOK!
THEY'VE GOT MARTIN!
(MURMURING)
Aviva presses a red button on the mannequin and says NO POWER, NO POSE BEAM.
(GRUNTING)
Martin says THANKS, AVIVA!
Aviva says NO HAY PROBLEMA.
Martin says NOW, MAY I SEND THIS MANNEQUIN
BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE?
Aviva says WHY, OF COURSE.
Donita appears at the door and says OH, DABIO, TIME TO...
Martin says HEY, DONITA!
I REALLY LIKE
DOING THIS!
He throws the deactivated mannequin at them and says YAH!
Donita says NOT AGAIN!
DUCK-- OH, WHY BOTHER?
Dabio appears and says NO DUCK!
They both fall and say ARGH!
They both say OOF!
The snow begins to melt and the owls take off.
DONITA says GREEN GRASS?
FLOWERS?
SPRING IS HERE!
IT'S A NEW SEASON!
SNOWY OWLS HATS ARE
NO LONGER IN STYLE.
YOU DID NOT DEFEAT ME.
I SIMPLY DON'T
WANT THEM ANYMORE.
LET'S GO DABIO.
She enters the cruiser, followed by Dabio. It takes off.
Dabio says YES, DONITA...
Aviva says WELL, DONITA IS RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING.
IT'S WARMING UP.
SPRING IS COMING.
Martin says AND THE SNOWY OWLS ARE
HEADING NORTH TO THE ARCTIC. LET'S GO!
Standing outside the Tortuga, Chris says WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?
Aviva says THIS TIME MARTIN HAD A GOOD
REASON FOR GETTING DISTRACTED.
Martin lands and says YEAH, WE HAD TO STOP DONITA
FROM TURNING ALL THE SNOWY OWLS
INTO SNOW HATS.
LUCKILY, I OBSERVED HOW
OWLS USE AERIAL COMBAT,
AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THAT
SNOWY OWL POWER TO CHASE OFF
DONITA'S NEW ATTACK MANNEQUINS
JUST LIKE OWLS CHASE EACH OTHER.
He morphs back to human shape.
Chris says HMM, SO YOU SAW OWLS
DO THAT TOO?
THEY MUST BE DOING IT BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT MUCH FOOD
ON THE SURFACE, SO THEY HAVE TO
PROTECT THEIR TERRITORY.
Koki says YEAH, WE THINK THAT LEMMINGS
ARE REALLY HARD TO GET TO
IN THE WINTER BECAUSE
THEY'RE UNDER THE SNOW.
A bunch of lemmings runs out from under the snow.
Aviva says LOOK, THERE ARE SO MANY
LEMMINGS OUT IN THE SPRING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOOD
FOR LOTS OF OWLS.
A snowy owl pounces on a lemming. In the nest, three little gray chicks with yellow eyes wait for food.
(CHIRPING)
Chris says THE MALE SNOWY OWL
CATCHES LEMMINGS
AND BRINGS THEM TO
THE FEMALE AT THE NEST.
THIS HAS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE
THE FEMALE SNOWY OWLS
ARE BUSY LAYING EGGS.
Martin says SO IN SUMMERS WHEN THERE
ARE LOTS OF LEMMINGS,
LOTS OF EGGS ARE LAID,
AND LOTS OF CHICKS HATCH.
MORE LEMMINGS EQUALS
MORE BABY SNOWY OWLS.
Chris says THERE ARE ENOUGH LEMMINGS
TO FEED EVERYONE!
BUT WHEN WINTER COMES
AND THE LEMMINGS TAKE REFUGE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE,
THEY ARE NO LONGER EASY
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS TO CATCH.
Martin says AND THERE ARE
SO MANY SNOWY OWLS!
SO THE OLDER ONES
DRIVE THE YOUNGER ONES
OUT OF THEIR TERRITORIES.
THE YOUNGER ONES THEN FLY SOUTH
TO NEW PLACES FOR THE WINTER.
They both say THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY
OF THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
ALL say YAY!
Handing the kids cookies, Martin says HERE YOU GO, GUYS,
FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
ALL say MMM, YUM!
Martin continues AND BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY
I'M GONNA GET TO
NAME AN OWL TODAY...
(LAUGHING)
Standing over the nest, Martin continues I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
HMM... SCOOP!
Ronan says SCOOP?
LIKE A SCOOP
OF ICE CREAM!
Martin says YEAH, SCOOP.
Aviva says MARTIN FINALLY GOT TO
NAME A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH!
AND WE GOT TO SEE
LOTS OF SNOWY OWLS
LIVING FREE AND IN THE ARCTIC.
A clip shows a speckled snowy owl. The real-life brothers stand beside it.
Martin says WOW, THE SNOWY OWL.
A SUPER PREDATOR OF THE ARCTIC.
(Lively music plays)
Chris says HE'S GOT ALL THE ADAPTATIONS TO
SURVIVE IN THE COLD AND SNOW.
IT STARTS WITH THOSE FEATHERS,
THE GUARD FEATHERS THAT KEEP OUT
THE SNOW AND THE COLD WINDS,
WITH DOWNY, WARM FEATHERS
UNDERNEATH, AND OF COURSE
THE FEATHERS ARE WHITE.
THAT GIVES THE
PERFECT CAMOUFLAGE
TO HIDE FROM PREDATORS,
AND MOST OF ALL, TO PREY.
Martin says AND CHECK OUT THOSE SPECIAL,
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS
THAT COVER HIS TOES.
THAT KEEPS THE TOES WARM.
THE TOES SITTING IN THE SNOW
ARE PERFECTLY WARM
IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES.
Chris says YEAH, SNOWY OWLS LOVE THE SNOW!
THEY PLAY IN THE SNOW,
AND EVEN TAKE SNOW BATHS!
Martin says WHEN THE SNOWY OWLS
FLY DOWN FROM THE ARCTIC,
WE ARE REALLY IN
FOR A SPECIAL TREAT.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
THE ROAD OR WALKING TO SCHOOL,
YOU MIGHT LOOK OVER INTO A FIELD
AND THERE'S A BIG LUMP OF WHITE
WITH TWO YELLOW EYES,
AND YOU'VE SPOTTED A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says SO YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE GROUND,
LOOK AT FENCE POSTS,
THEY LIKE TO PERCH THERE,
AND CHECK OUT THE TOPS
OF TELEPHONE POLES,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST
GET LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL DOWN SOUTH.
Martin says NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
SNOWY OWLS ARE
ONE OF THE MANY COOL OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES,
THE GREAT HORNED OWL.
A CLOSE RELATIVE
OF THE SNOWY OWL.
THEY GOT THE EAR-TUFTS,
KIND OF A FOREST PREDATOR.
THEY LIKE TO BE IN THE WOODS,
THESE GREAT HORNED OWLS,
AND THEY HUNT
ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
Chris says AND THEN THERE ARE
BURROWING OWLS.
THEY'RE AN OWL THAT
SPENDS A LOT OF TIME
STANDING AROUND ON
THE GROUND IN THE DESERT.
AND THEY EVEN NEST UNDERGROUND,
IN PRAIRIE DOG BURROWS.
Martin says AND I LOVE THAT LITTLE OWL THAT
NESTS IN CACTUS, THE ELF OWL.
A LITTLE OWL OF THE DESERT,
ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
WE GOTTA DO MORE CREATURE
ADVENTURES WITH OWLS!
Chris says OH, YEAH!
OWLS ARE AWESOME!
Martin says KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!
Music plays as the end credits roll.
Then, a globe spins and an area in the Canadian southeast near Newfoundland appears highlighted.
Now the brothers walk in a gentle snowstorm on a snowy plain with woodland in the background.
MARTIN says HEY, WE'RE HERE
IN NORTH AMERICA!
Chris says WAY UP NORTH, NOT QUITE
THE ARCTIC, BUT GETTING CLOSE.
Martin says IN A HABITAT KNOWN AS
THE NORTHERN WOODLANDS.
IT'S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS!
I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
WHEN YOU'RE HIKING AROUND
THROUGH THE SNOW
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR,
THERE ARE LOTS OF SNOW PILES,
SNOW HILLS AND SNOW BUMPS.
Martin says BUT MAKE SURE
YOU LOOK CLOSELY,
BECAUSE SOME OF THAT SNOW
MIGHT BE MORE THAN JUST SNOW.
LOOK FOR THE YELLOW EYES.
Chris points and says THERE!
They both say A SNOWY OWL!
A large white speckled owl appears.
Chris says A SNOWY OWL IS
AN ARCTIC CREATURE,
FROM A LAND WHERE
THERE ARE NO TREES.
SO WHY WOULD YOU FIND
A SNOWY OWL THIS FAR SOUTH?
Martin says ABOUT EVERY 4 YEARS THERE'S A
VERY SPECIAL WILDLIFE EVENT,
WHEN MANY SNOWY OWLS
START FLYING SOUTH
IN WHAT'S CALLED "AN ERUPTION."
Chris says THEY'LL FLY DOWN TO OTTAWA,
BOSTON, WASHINGTON DC,
EVEN ALL THE WAY
DOWN SOUTH TO FLORIDA.
Martin says JUST LIKE OUR GRANDPA!
SO IF YOU EVER GET
LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL LIVE AND IN PERSON,
CHECK OUT THEIR CREATURE POWERS.
As the brothers describe it, close-ups show different parts of the owl.
Chris says AMAZING YELLOW EYES THAT
CAN SEE FOR A KILOMETRE.
Martin says AND A HEAD THAT CAN
SWIVEL 280 DEGREES!
Chris says STRONG TALONS!
Martin says TOES COVERED WITH
WARM HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS.
Chris says AND WHAT A POWERFUL FLYER!
Martin says WITH SPECIAL WING FEATHERS
THAT SILENCE THE FLAPS.
Chris says THAT ALL MAKES THE SNOWY OWL
A DANGEROUS PREDATOR.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD FLY
THROUGH THE WINTER
WITH SNOWY OWL POWERS!
They both say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says On adventure with the coolest creatures, from the oceans to the trees, the Brothers Kratt are going places you never get to see, hanging with their creature friends. Get ready, it's the hour, we're gonna save some animals today with Creature Power! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, wild!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z. send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues
Cheetah speed and lizard glide, Falcon flight and lion pride, Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts. Go wild, wild, Wild Kratts!
The title appears... Wild Kratts.
Against a clip of Mom and Baby Stuffo Panda, a caption reads "Snowy Owl Invasion." A caption reads "Created by Martin Kratt, Chris Kratt. Written by Martin Kratt."
A VOICE says SNOWY OWL INVASION
Two struggling brothers morphed as Pandas roll by.
(GRUNTING)
To Koki, Aviva says CAN YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVE?
Koki says I FORGOT AN HOUR AGO.
OOH!
Martin says I CAN SWIM UNDERWATER
FASTER THAN YOU.
Chris spins him, then hangs above him from a bamboo stalk. Stuffo comes up.
(GRUNTING)
WHOA!
OOF!
HMPH!
Chris says WELL, I CAN CLIMB BAMBOO
FASTER THAN YOU.
Martin is tossed into the air above the forest and waves his arms and says UH-OH!
WHOA!
PANDAS DON'T FLY!
AAH!
Chris says THAT WAS EASY.
To Stuffo, he says HEY, BUD!
WANNA PLAY?
Martin falls on him.
(YELLING)
UH-OH.
The three crew members watch and laugh.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY, STUFFO!
(LAUGHING)
Jimmy Z. says DO THAT AGAIN, BROS!
(ALARM BLARING)
THE WILD KRATTS ALARM.
THERE'S A DISTURBANCE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
The Creature Pod shows a pulsating blue pawprint.
Aviva says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Koki says NOT SURE.
LET'S GET BACK
TO THE TORTUGA!
SEE YA!
Chris knocks Martin off.
Martin says WHOA!
BYE, STUFFO!
SEE YOU LATER!
They both get stuck in the Tortuga doorway.
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Koki says WILD KRATTS TEAM HERE.
IT'S KATIE!
On the big screen, Katie, an Inuit, says THERE'S A SNOWY OWL
SITTING ON MY SWING SET.
Koki says THAT FAR SOUTH?
A girl in Florida says HI, KOKI!
I THOUGHT IT WAS
A WHITE PELICAN,
BUT THEN IT TURNED ITS HEAD.
Koki says A SNOWY OWL ALL THE WAY
DOWN IN FLORIDA?
THERE ARE SNOWY OWLS BEING
SPOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Aviva says HMM.
Chris says MARTIN, WE GOTTA
GET IN THERE!
Martin says I KNOW!
HEY, LET'S DEACTIVATE.
Chris says YES, OF COURSE!
They press buttons and return to human form.
(GROANING)
Martin says I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
SNOWY OWLS ARE AN ARCTIC SPECIES
OF THE TREELESS TUNDRA!
THEY BELONG UP HERE,
WAY UP NORTH.
He points to an area of Northern Canada shaded in orange.
Chris says BUT SUDDENLY THEY'RE
SHOWING UP SO FAR SOUTH,
IN PLACES THEY DON'T
NORMALLY LIVE!
WHY?
Martin says IT'S A SNOWY OWL INVASION!
Chris says AND A CREATURE MYSTERY.
WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.
Aviva says BUT WE'RE SO FAR AWAY,
WAY OVER HERE IN CHINA!
Martin says I'VE GOT IT!
WE'LL FLY STRAIGHT OVER
THE NORTH POLE.
THAT'S THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE,
AND WE'LL PASS OVER THE ARCTIC,
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris says OH, YEAH, AND AS WE PASS BY,
WE CAN DROP IN AND LOOK FOR
SOME CLUES AS TO WHY SO MANY
SNOWY OWLS HAVE LEFT THE ARCTIC.
EVERYBODY...
TO THE ARCTIC!
The Tortuga zooms off.
(Jet engines)
Seen through the window of her palace, Donita shivers.
Donita says DABIO, MY EARS ARE COLD.
Dabio says LOOK, DONITA!
THAT'S A BIG SNOWFLAKE!
A white owl flies through the falling snow. It perches on the head of Donita's statue.
Donita says HUH?
(GASPING)
OH, MY!
She slurps a cup of tea.
(SLURPING)
(CACKLING)
The Tortuga lands in the Arctic, the hatch opens and they all stand looking at the snowy expanse. Martin opens his arms and takes a deep breath.
(SNIFFING)
Martin says AHH, THE TUNDRA!
FLAT, TREELESS, SNOWY, AND COLD.
THE HABITAT OF THE SNOWY OWL.
Chris moves out and says ALRIGHT, TIME TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE
AND WHY THE SNOWY OWLS
MIGHT BE LEAVING.
He stands on an off-white higher area and looks out, shading his eyes from the glare. It rises and turns into a polar bear.
(GROWLING)
Martin says UH... CHRIS?
Chris says OOH, OKAY,
FOUND A POLAR BEAR!
WHOA!
They both say OOF! AAH!
Knocked over, Martin grabs a long white object and says HMM, WHAT IS THIS?
(SNORTING)
(LAUGHING)
He says OH, A WALRUS!
(LAUGHING)
The walrus swings him up on its back by its tusk.
Martin says WAHOO!
OH, YEAH!
(LAUGHING)
The walrus gallops like a bucking bronco, then throws Martin over the others.
Martin says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA...
WHOA!
Koki says LOOK OUT!
Martin lands in a drift and says OOF!
Aviva says HEY, A SNOWSHOE HARE!
They both say WAH!
Jimmy Z. comes up and says WELL, YOU FOUND SOME
WILDLIFE REAL QUICK,
BUT I DIDN'T SEE A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH, WHERE ARE THE SNOWY OWLS?
Koki says IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
TO FIND THEM.
Chris says HMM, ALL RIGHT.
WHY DON'T KOKI AND I SET UP
A MOBILE RESEARCH CAMP.
He throws a blue parcel on the ground. It shakes, then morphs into a gray camp tent, complete with accessories.
Chris says WE'LL STAY AND SEARCH
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS
AND MORE CLUES
IN THEIR NATIVE HABITAT.
Covered with snow, Martin comes up and says AND WE'LL HEAD SOUTH
IN THE TORTUGA
TO TRACK THOSE
INVADING SNOWY OWLS.
BRR! (shakes snow off)
Chris says WE'LL EACH COLLECT CLUES
AND ADD THEM TOGETHER.
Martin says THAT'S HOW WE'LL FIGURE OUT
THE MYSTERY OF
THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
LET'S GO!
ALL say BYE!
The crew gets in the Tortuga and it takes off.
Back at Donita's palace, she looks at the owl on the head of the statue.
Dabio says DONITA, WHERE DID THESE
FLUFFY WHITE BIRDIES COME FROM?
(SIGHING)
Donita says NOT INTERESTED.
AND DON'T ASK ME
WHY THEY ARE HERE.
ALL I KNOW IS THEY ARE
PRECISELY WHAT I WANT!
NOTE THE FLUFFINESS AND APPARENT
WARMTH OF THE WHITE FEATHERS.
THESE OWLS WILL MAKE THE
WARMEST AND MOST WONDERFUL
WHITE WINTER HATS!
POSE BEAM.
Dabio says YES, DONITA.
He beams the owl.
Donita says LIFT ME, DABIO!
He lifts her, and she picks up the immobilized owl, then puts it on her head.
WOO! OH!
THIS IS IT!
OH, IT'S BEEN SUCH
A QUIET WINTER SEASON.
THE FASHION WORLD HAS BEEN
DESPERATELY WAITING
FOR THESE WINTER HATS.
DONITA DONATA
ONCE AGAIN DELIVERS!
OOH, IT'S SO WARM.
The scene changes to the Canadian woodlands.
(RUMBLING)
Katie sits with two boys and says THEY'RE HERE!
Ronan says WILD KRATTS!
The hatch opens and Martin runs down the ramp and says HEY, EVERYBODY!
Aviva says WE MADE IT!
Martin says WOW! NOW THAT'S AN AWESOME OWL.
Aviva says AH, QUE BONITA!
Katie says WE WERE JUST MAKING A SNOWMAN,
AND THEN THE OWL LANDED.
Martin says HEY, I THINK I'M GETTING
SOMETHING HERE.
A GREAT NAME FOR A SNOWY OWL.
I'M GONNA CALL YOU...
Ronan says WE ALREADY GAVE HIM A NAME.
His brother says YEAH, MARTIN.
WE NAMED HIM
LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!
Katie says YEAH, HE HAS A NAME.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says WELL, WHAT IS IT THEN?
ALL say FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL!
Martin says FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL...
HMM, I LOVE IT!
They all march around the owl on the snowman.
(Lyrical music plays)
Singing, he says "FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL
LEFT THE ARCTIC TUNDRA ONE DAY
HE FLEW DOWN HERE
AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHY HE CAME OR WILL HE STAY
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP,
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP
LOOK AT FROSTY FLY
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP,
FLAPPETY, FLAP-FLAP
A SNOWFLAKE IN THE SKY."
ALL say
FROSTY THE SNOWY OWL!
Martin says AH, THANK YOU!
(LAUGHING)
Aviva says VERY ENTERTAINING, MARTINO,
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY
FROSTY HAS COME
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
Martin says YEAH.
I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND
THE OWL IS TO "BE" THE OWL.
UH, SNOWY OWL POWER DISC?
Aviva says UH, WE'VE NEVER MADE
A SNOWY OWL POWER DISC.
Martin says WHAT?
BUT SNOWY OWLS ARE ONE OF THE
MOST AMAZING OWLS IN THE WORLD!
The kids say YOU DO HAVE AN
ELF OWL POWER DISC.
AND A BURROWING OWL DISC.
Martin says HMM, OWLS DO HAVE SOME
BASIC FEATURES IN COMMON.
ONE, THEY CAN ROTATE
THEIR HEAD 270 DEGREES.
TWO, THEY HAVE BETTER HEARING
THEN HAWKS AND EAGLES.
AND THREE, THEY HAVE
ROUND-LOOKING HEADS.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
AN OWL AN OWL.
Aviva says YES, THOSE ARE SIMILARITIES
I CAN BUILD ON.
WE COULD START WITH THE
BASIC OWL, AND FROM THERE,
I'LL PROGRAM THE SPECIAL
FEATURES OF THE SNOWY OWL,
STARTING WITH THE SUPER WARM,
FLUFFY WHITE FEATHERS.
Martin says AND HERE'S A WOW-FACT...
SNOWIES HAVE
THE WARMEST FEATHERS OF
ANY OWL IN THE WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT.
THE FEET OF THE SNOWY OWL
ARE COVERED IN FEATHERS!
MOST OWLS HAVE
BARE FEET, YOU KNOW.
Aviva says WELL THEN, I'D BETTER ADD
FEATHER-COVERED FEET TO MAKE IT
A SNOWY OWL POWER SUIT.
TIME TO GET INVENTING!
Out in the tundra, Chris and Koki are walking in snowshoes.
Chris says LOOK!
A SNOWY OWL!
IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIND ONE!
Koki says THIS IS THE FIRST OWL
WE'VE SEEN ANYWHERE.
Chris says I DON'T GET IT.
THIS IS WHERE SNOWY OWLS
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
THIS IS THEIR HABITAT.
THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR
THE COLDEST WEATHER
ALL YEAR LONG,
IN THE ARCTIC.
BUT THERE AREN'T
MANY AROUND.
The owl flies away.
On the Pod, from the woodlands, Martin says WELL, THERE ARE
A LOT DOWN HERE!
HEY, AVIVA.
Aviva says HMM?
Martin says ANOTHER ONE LANDED
JUST BEHIND YOU!
Aviva says WHAT?
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
WHOA!
(LAUGHING)
She stands by it and says OWLS ALWAYS SURPRISE ME.
Martin says EXACTLY!
OWLS ARE SURPRISE ARTISTS.
OWLS HAVE SOFT FEATHERS IN
THEIR WINGS THAT MUFFLE SOUND.
The owl flies off, silently.
Martin says HEAR THAT?
Katie says NO.
Martin says EXACTLY.
Ronan says WHERE'S FROSTY GOING?
Aviva says AND THIS OWL'S EYES!
THEY'RE LIKE GOLD!
BEAUTIFUL!
(MARTIN CHUCKLING)
Martin says WOW, EYES LIKE GOLD.
I'VE GOT IT,
I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
Ronan says GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says HA! HEY!
Aviva says THIS IS ALL GREAT STUFF
FOR AN OWL POWER SUIT!
RONAN says FROSTY'S CHASING GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says WHOA!
INTERESTING.
At her palace, Donita looks at herself in the mirror
She says OH, YES, IT'S PERFECT!
BUT I'LL NEED TO
COLLECT MORE MATERIAL.
DABIO, THIS IS AN IDEAL
ASSIGNMENT FOR MY NEW
MANNEQUIN COLLECTOR UNITS.
Dabio says HA-HA, OH GOODY, GOODY,
GOODY, GOODY, YEAH!
The three mannequins float down from a hatch that opens in the ceiling. They pose with one hand on a hip and the other arm straight out. Pose-beams spurt from the palms of their hands.
Donita, holding the owl up, says STRIKE A POSE.
THIS, THIS IS THE MATERIAL
YOU WILL BE COLLECTING.
POWER UP POSE BEAMS.
DEPLOY FOR COLLECTION.
(EVIL CACKLING)
Back in the Tundra, looking through binoculars, Chris says HEY, THIS OWL SEES SOMETHING!
Koki says LET ME SEE!
Chris says SNOWY OWLS HAVE
AMAZING POWERS OF SIGHT.
A SNOWY OWL CAN SEE MOVEMENT
FROM A KILOMETRE AWAY.
INCOMING! ANOTHER SNOWY OWL!
(OWL SCREECHING)
(Dramatic music plays)
WHOA, THE OLD OWL DOESN'T
LIKE THE NEW OWL BEING HERE.
Koki says LOOK, HE'S CHASING HIM AWAY!
Chris says HE DROVE HIM OFF.
THEY'RE VERY TERRITORIAL.
Koki says CHRIS, THAT MAY BE
ANOTHER CLUE TO OUR MYSTERY!
Back in the woodland, Martin says IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY
SNOWY OWLS ARE DOWN SOUTH.
Aviva, grabbing the programmed disc, says AND THERE'S SOON TO BE ONE MORE! READY TO BECOME PART OF THE
SNOWY OWL INVASION, MARTIN?
Martin catches the disc and says UH, YEAH!
ACTIVATE SNOWY OWL POWERS!
He presses the pawprint and morphs into a giant snowy owl.
Martin says WOW!
(CHEERING)
THIS SUIT IS COMFY!
Aviva and the kids, snuggling up say OOH, SOFT!
AND WARM!
LIKE A FUZZY,
FEATHERY COMFORTER!
(LAUGHING)
Martin says COME ON, GUYS!
LOOK AT HIS FACE.
THIS IS ONE SERIOUS CREATURE.
NO MORE HUGS!
Gold Nugget takes off and Martin does too, flying in pursuit.
Martin continues AND HE IS HUNTING.
FOR SURVIVAL!
HMM, SO WHAT'S HE LOOKING FOR?
A hare with big feet leaps along. Nugget pounces, but misses.
Martin continues AHA, A SNOWSHOE HARE!
PHEW! HE GOT AWAY THIS TIME!
Holding a tablet, Jimmy says YEAH, BUT LOOK AT WHAT ELSE
SNOWY OWLS ARE CATCHING!
CANADA GEESE...
AND SMALL ALLIGATORS!
They are seen pouncing on the prey.
Martin says IT'S AMAZING.
THE SNOWY OWL IS
SUCH A STRONG PREDATOR.
SHE CAN CATCH BIG PREY
OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
BUT ODDLY, SHE MOSTLY LIKES
TO HUNT SMALLER RODENTS.
A SNOWY OWL CAN CATCH
1,600 SMALL RODENTS A YEAR!
HEY, THAT'S WHAT WE DIDN'T
SEE IN THE ARCTIC.
SMALL RODENTS!
(PHONE RINGING)
Chris holds up his pawprint Pod and Martin appears flying on screen.
Martin continues CHRIS, HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
SMALL RODENTS UP THERE?
Chris says NO.
YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T.
Koki says I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EITHER,
AND IN THIS WHITENESS,
A LITTLE BROWN RODENT LIKE
A LEMMING SHOULD STAND OUT,
AND THERE SHOULD BE MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF THEM
IN THIS AREA AROUND US.
Chris scratches his chin and says HMM...
AHA! OF COURSE!
THE LEMMINGS MUST BE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
WE'VE GOT TO CHECK, AND THERE'S
ONLY ONE WAY TO DO THAT.
WITH THE MINIATURIZER!
He throws the miniaturizer on the ground and it deploys. the beam appears. They hop into it and come out ant-size.
They both say MINIATURIZE!
Chris says OKAY, NOW WE JUST HAVE
TO FIND A WAY INTO...
The snow opens up under them and they both say WHOA!
(YELLING)
They slide down through a tunnel until blades of grass appear. they land on a patch of withered grass.
They both say OOF!
WE'RE HERE!
THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE!
(RUMBLING)
Koki says DO YOU HEAR THAT?
(RUMBLING)
A horde of lemmings run out of a tunnel opening.
Chris says AAH! AAH!
(YELLING)
To avoid being trampled, they jump on the backs of the lemmings and say OOF!
Chris says OH, IT'S LIKE A NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR!
Koki says I THINK THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT CLUE!
Chris says THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LEMMINGS,
THE SNOWY OWL'S FAVORITE MEAL.
Koki says BUT THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE SNOW,
SO THE SNOWY OWLS
CAN'T GET TO THEM.
Chris says NOW THAT MUST HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE SNOWY OWLS
FLYING SOUTH.
In the woodland, Aviva says LOOK, FROSTY'S BACK!
Martin says AND SO AM I!
AND I CAN TELL YOU,
SNOWY OWL POWERS ARE AMAZING!
HUH?
FLYING MANNEQUINS?
Ronan says THEY'RE AFTER FROSTY!
Katie says AND GOLD NUGGET!
One catches Nugget.
Ronan's brother says OH NO... POOR GOLD NUGGET!
Martin says THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB
FOR SNOWY OWL POWERS!
YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAY!
ALL say TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Flying up to the Mannequin, he says OH, NO YOU DON'T!
DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ME COMING!
HEAD NORTH, FROSTY!
Donita's pink Stratocruiser appears.
(LAUGHING)
Donita says THIS IS FABULOUS!
BUT I NEED MORE, DABIO!
LET'S LAND AND
SEARCH FOR MORE!
Dabio says OKIE DOKIE, DONITA.
Aviva, standing with Jimmy Z. and the kids says DONITA WITH A SNOWY OWL HAT?
MARTIN, DONITA'S CAPTURING
SNOWY OWLS TO MAKE WINTER HATS!
LOOK OUT!
MORE OF DONITA'S
ATTACK MANNEQUINS!
Martin says HEY, DONITA!
SNOWY OWLS ARE ANIMALS,
NOT MATERIALS!
YAH! ARGH!
Donita says OH, SO IT'S A FLYING MARTINO.
CATCH HIM AND PUT HIM IN THE "JAR."
WITH THE REST OF THE OWLS!
The mannequins fire their pose beams, but Martin dodges them.
Martin says OOPS, MISSED ME!
As he flies past, Donita says GET HIM!
Aviva says COME ON, VAMONOS!
LET'S RESCUE THE SNOWY OWLS
AND GET THEM TO SAFETY!
WOO, MISSED AGAIN!
She releases all the owls from their transparent cage.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio says WHERE'S A DUCK?
I LIKE DUCKS
MUCH BETTER THAN OWLS!
A mannequin, thrown by Martin hits him and knocks him back into the plane.
Dabio says OH. OOF!
Donita says DABIO, DABIO, WHERE'D YOU GO?
(Epic music plays)
Another mannequin shoots a beam and misses. Martin catches it and throws it toward the door of the plane.
Donita says DUCK!
Dabio appears and says ANOTHER DUCK?
He gets hit by the mannequin and says OOF!
(GROWLING)
Donita says CATCH HIM!
(LAUGHING)
Martin says GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
(MURMURING)
(EVIL CACKLING)
Donita says WE'LL USE HIM FOR
A PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY
FOR MY NEW SNOWY OWL HATS!
HE'LL BE A MANNEQUIN
IN THE STORES.
MARTIN THE MANNEQUIN.
STUFF HIM IN WITH THE OTHERS!
(SNICKERING)
Aviva says ALL SAFE.
NOW WE NEED A PLAN TO
TURN OFF THE POSE BEAM.
Katie says AVIVA, LOOK!
THEY'VE GOT MARTIN!
(MURMURING)
Aviva presses a red button on the mannequin and says NO POWER, NO POSE BEAM.
(GRUNTING)
Martin says THANKS, AVIVA!
Aviva says NO HAY PROBLEMA.
Martin says NOW, MAY I SEND THIS MANNEQUIN
BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE?
Aviva says WHY, OF COURSE.
Donita appears at the door and says OH, DABIO, TIME TO...
Martin says HEY, DONITA!
I REALLY LIKE
DOING THIS!
He throws the deactivated mannequin at them and says YAH!
Donita says NOT AGAIN!
DUCK-- OH, WHY BOTHER?
Dabio appears and says NO DUCK!
They both fall and say ARGH!
They both say OOF!
The snow begins to melt and the owls take off.
DONITA says GREEN GRASS?
FLOWERS?
SPRING IS HERE!
IT'S A NEW SEASON!
SNOWY OWLS HATS ARE
NO LONGER IN STYLE.
YOU DID NOT DEFEAT ME.
I SIMPLY DON'T
WANT THEM ANYMORE.
LET'S GO DABIO.
She enters the cruiser, followed by Dabio. It takes off.
Dabio says YES, DONITA...
Aviva says WELL, DONITA IS RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING.
IT'S WARMING UP.
SPRING IS COMING.
Martin says AND THE SNOWY OWLS ARE
HEADING NORTH TO THE ARCTIC. LET'S GO!
Standing outside the Tortuga, Chris says WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?
Aviva says THIS TIME MARTIN HAD A GOOD
REASON FOR GETTING DISTRACTED.
Martin lands and says YEAH, WE HAD TO STOP DONITA
FROM TURNING ALL THE SNOWY OWLS
INTO SNOW HATS.
LUCKILY, I OBSERVED HOW
OWLS USE AERIAL COMBAT,
AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THAT
SNOWY OWL POWER TO CHASE OFF
DONITA'S NEW ATTACK MANNEQUINS
JUST LIKE OWLS CHASE EACH OTHER.
He morphs back to human shape.
Chris says HMM, SO YOU SAW OWLS
DO THAT TOO?
THEY MUST BE DOING IT BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT MUCH FOOD
ON THE SURFACE, SO THEY HAVE TO
PROTECT THEIR TERRITORY.
Koki says YEAH, WE THINK THAT LEMMINGS
ARE REALLY HARD TO GET TO
IN THE WINTER BECAUSE
THEY'RE UNDER THE SNOW.
A bunch of lemmings runs out from under the snow.
Aviva says LOOK, THERE ARE SO MANY
LEMMINGS OUT IN THE SPRING.
THERE'S ENOUGH FOOD
FOR LOTS OF OWLS.
A snowy owl pounces on a lemming. In the nest, three little gray chicks with yellow eyes wait for food.
(CHIRPING)
Chris says THE MALE SNOWY OWL
CATCHES LEMMINGS
AND BRINGS THEM TO
THE FEMALE AT THE NEST.
THIS HAS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE
THE FEMALE SNOWY OWLS
ARE BUSY LAYING EGGS.
Martin says SO IN SUMMERS WHEN THERE
ARE LOTS OF LEMMINGS,
LOTS OF EGGS ARE LAID,
AND LOTS OF CHICKS HATCH.
MORE LEMMINGS EQUALS
MORE BABY SNOWY OWLS.
Chris says THERE ARE ENOUGH LEMMINGS
TO FEED EVERYONE!
BUT WHEN WINTER COMES
AND THE LEMMINGS TAKE REFUGE
IN THE SUBNIVEAN ZONE,
THEY ARE NO LONGER EASY
FOR THE SNOWY OWLS TO CATCH.
Martin says AND THERE ARE
SO MANY SNOWY OWLS!
SO THE OLDER ONES
DRIVE THE YOUNGER ONES
OUT OF THEIR TERRITORIES.
THE YOUNGER ONES THEN FLY SOUTH
TO NEW PLACES FOR THE WINTER.
They both say THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY
OF THE SNOWY OWL INVASION.
ALL say YAY!
Handing the kids cookies, Martin says HERE YOU GO, GUYS,
FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
ALL say MMM, YUM!
Martin continues AND BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY
I'M GONNA GET TO
NAME AN OWL TODAY...
(LAUGHING)
Standing over the nest, Martin continues I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
HMM... SCOOP!
Ronan says SCOOP?
LIKE A SCOOP
OF ICE CREAM!
Martin says YEAH, SCOOP.
Aviva says MARTIN FINALLY GOT TO
NAME A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says YEAH!
AND WE GOT TO SEE
LOTS OF SNOWY OWLS
LIVING FREE AND IN THE ARCTIC.
A clip shows a speckled snowy owl. The real-life brothers stand beside it.
Martin says WOW, THE SNOWY OWL.
A SUPER PREDATOR OF THE ARCTIC.
(Lively music plays)
Chris says HE'S GOT ALL THE ADAPTATIONS TO
SURVIVE IN THE COLD AND SNOW.
IT STARTS WITH THOSE FEATHERS,
THE GUARD FEATHERS THAT KEEP OUT
THE SNOW AND THE COLD WINDS,
WITH DOWNY, WARM FEATHERS
UNDERNEATH, AND OF COURSE
THE FEATHERS ARE WHITE.
THAT GIVES THE
PERFECT CAMOUFLAGE
TO HIDE FROM PREDATORS,
AND MOST OF ALL, TO PREY.
Martin says AND CHECK OUT THOSE SPECIAL,
HAIR-LIKE FEATHERS
THAT COVER HIS TOES.
THAT KEEPS THE TOES WARM.
THE TOES SITTING IN THE SNOW
ARE PERFECTLY WARM
IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES.
Chris says YEAH, SNOWY OWLS LOVE THE SNOW!
THEY PLAY IN THE SNOW,
AND EVEN TAKE SNOW BATHS!
Martin says WHEN THE SNOWY OWLS
FLY DOWN FROM THE ARCTIC,
WE ARE REALLY IN
FOR A SPECIAL TREAT.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
THE ROAD OR WALKING TO SCHOOL,
YOU MIGHT LOOK OVER INTO A FIELD
AND THERE'S A BIG LUMP OF WHITE
WITH TWO YELLOW EYES,
AND YOU'VE SPOTTED A SNOWY OWL.
Chris says SO YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE GROUND,
LOOK AT FENCE POSTS,
THEY LIKE TO PERCH THERE,
AND CHECK OUT THE TOPS
OF TELEPHONE POLES,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST
GET LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE
A SNOWY OWL DOWN SOUTH.
Martin says NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
SNOWY OWLS ARE
ONE OF THE MANY COOL OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES,
THE GREAT HORNED OWL.
A CLOSE RELATIVE
OF THE SNOWY OWL.
THEY GOT THE EAR-TUFTS,
KIND OF A FOREST PREDATOR.
THEY LIKE TO BE IN THE WOODS,
THESE GREAT HORNED OWLS,
AND THEY HUNT
ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
Chris says AND THEN THERE ARE
BURROWING OWLS.
THEY'RE AN OWL THAT
SPENDS A LOT OF TIME
STANDING AROUND ON
THE GROUND IN THE DESERT.
AND THEY EVEN NEST UNDERGROUND,
IN PRAIRIE DOG BURROWS.
Martin says AND I LOVE THAT LITTLE OWL THAT
NESTS IN CACTUS, THE ELF OWL.
A LITTLE OWL OF THE DESERT,
ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING OWLS
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
WE GOTTA DO MORE CREATURE
ADVENTURES WITH OWLS!
Chris says OH, YEAH!
OWLS ARE AWESOME!
Martin says KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!
