Transcript: The Great Froggyback Ride
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
Then, a globe spins and the Amazon area appears highlighted. A clip shows the brothers walking on the forest.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Martin says ON THE SOUTH
AMERICAN CONTINENT,
IN THE LARGEST RAINFOREST
IN THE WORLD, THE AMAZON.
WE'RE HERE ON THE
RAINFOREST FLOOR.
Chris says IT'S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
A WET, HUMID RAINFOREST
IS A GREAT PLACE TO
GO LOOKING FOR FROGS.
Martin says SO LET'S
SPLIT UP, SPREAD OUT
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.
A FROG!
MEET THE GIANT
BROAD-HEADED TREEFROG.
THIS IS A BIG TREEFROG
AND LOOK AT THAT WIDE HEAD.
THIS FROG HAS AMAZING
TREE CLIMBING POWERS.
LOOK AT THOSE FEET.
SEE THE SUCTION PAD TIPS?
THOSE ARE GREAT FOR
GRIPPING WHILE CLIMBING.
Martin places the frog on a branch tree.
Martin says SHOW US A JUMP CLIMB.
He gasps and says AMAZING!
Chris says THERE'S ONE.
WHOA...LOOK AT
THIS AWESOME FROG!
IT'S SO COLORFUL.
I LOVE THE BRIGHT GREEN STRIPES.
MARTIN, CHECK OUT THIS ONE.
Martin says HEY, I THINK THIS IS
FROM THE DENDROBATES FAMILY.
THIS FAMILY IS FULL
OF SOME OF THE MOST
COLORFUL FROGS IN THE WORLD.
Chris says OH YEAH, ALL
DIFFERENT COLORS.
BLUES, REDS, ORANGES,
YELLOWS AND GREENS.
EVERY COLOR UNDER THE RAINBOW.
Martin says HEY, THOSE
LINES REALLY STAND OUT.
Chris says AND CHECK IT OUT.
IT'S GOT A LITTLE BLUE
UNDER ITS LEGS. UNDERNEATH.
Martin says I LIKE IT.
I LIKE THIS FROG.
Chris says WHAT AN AWESOME
DENDROBATES FROG.
Martin says AND WHAT ARE
THOSE COLORS FOR?
IMAGINE IF WE COULD DO
WHAT THESE FROGS CAN DO.
Chris says IMAGINE IF WE
HAD THE CREATURE POWERS
OF THE DENDROBATES FROGS.
Martin and Chris 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 name of the episode appears. It reads "The Great Froggyback Ride."
The team stands next to the Tortuga in a forest. They are painting small objects.
Martin says AH YEAH, WE HAVE
ALL THE COLORS OF THAT
BEAUTIFUL AMAZON
RAINBOW RIGHT HERE.
Aviva says GREAT! REMEMBER,
ALL THESE TRANSMITTER CHIPS
NEED TO BE A DIFFERENT COLOR.
Chris says SO THEY CAN'T
ALL BE BLUE MARTIN.
Martin says AWW. WELL,
THIS ONE WILL BE.
Koki says WHY DO YOU GUYS LIKE BLUE
AND GREEN SO MUCH ANYWAY?
Chris says GREEN REMINDS
ME OF NATURE.
ALL THE FORESTS, JUNGLES,
AND GRASSLANDS
WHERE I LOVE TO BE.
Martin says BLUE IS LIKE
THE WATER AND THE SKY
AND... MY EYES.
AND BESIDES, BLUE IS A
PRIMARY COLOR FOR PAINTS.
GREEN IS JUST A SECONDARY COLOR.
(laughing)
Chris says YEAH, WELL
GREEN IS BETTER BECAUSE
IT'S A MIX OF
TWO PAINT COLORS,
YELLOW AND BLUE.
THAT'S WAY MORE INTERESTING.
Martin says IT'S TRUE, BUT
YOU DID USE BLUE.
Chris says RIGHT, BUT COLOR
IS PRETTY COMPLEX.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
LIGHT AS OPPOSED TO PAINT,
THEN GREEN BECOMES
A PRIMARY COLOR.
Chris shoots a laser beam.
He continues GREEN AND RED LIGHT
MAKES YELLOW.
Martin says SO IT COMES DOWN TO
THIS, ALL COLORS ARE COOL.
The Brothers say OH YEAH!
A small blue, black and yellow frog appears on the table.
Koki says OH NO!
WHO SPLATTERED
PAINT ON THIS FROG?
Jimmy Z says I DIDN'T DO THAT!
The Brothers say A POISON FROG!
Martin says HE'S FINE.
THAT'S JUST HOW THEY LOOK.
THEY ARE SO COLORFUL.
Aviva says WOW!
HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
Martin says YEAH, THIS ONE'S
CALLED THE COBALT POISON FROG.
SCIENTIFIC NAME,
DENDROBATES TINCTORIUS.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF POISON FROGS.
ALL WITH THEIR OWN
BRILLIANT COLORS.
Martin shows frog pictures projected on a holo screen.
Koki says WHOA.
Aviva says OOH.
Jimmy Z says WOW.
Chris says YUP, ALL THE
COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
He closes his eyes and says RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET.
Jimmy Z says HEY, YOU DID
THAT WITHOUT LOOKING.
Chris says YUP.
ROYGBIV.
Jimmy Z says SAY WHAT?
Chris says ROYGBIV.
THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT.
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE INDIGO, VIOLET.
ROYGBIV.
Jimmy Z says COOL.
Martin says THAT'S WHAT
I'LL NAME YOU.
ROY G. BIV.
FIRST NAME, ROY.
MIDDLE INITIAL G.
LAST NAME, BIV.
Koki says ROY G. BIV.
I THINK HE LIKES IT.
Aviva says OK. DART SHAFT READY.
JUST LOAD THE
TRANSMITTER IN HERE
AND WE'RE READY
TO DO SOME SCIENCE.
Chris says OK GREAT.
IN ORDER TO STUDY THE HOME
RANGE OF SQUIRREL MONKEYS,
WE NEED TO GET THOSE
TRANSMITTERS
ONTO...
THOSE MONKEYS.
A group of monkeys rests on a tree.
Martin says SQUIRREL MONKEYS LIVE
IN BIG GROUPS THAT SOMETIMES
BREAK OFF INTO SMALLER GROUPS.
IT CAN BE KIND OF CONFUSING.
IF WE CAN TRACK THEM, WE CAN TRY
TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER.
Jimmy Z says BUT HOW DO WE GET THE
TRANSMITTERS ONTO THE MONKEYS?
Chris says THE RESEARCH BLOW
DART IS THE PERFECT METHOD.
Chris blows a dart at a monkey.
Aviva says BULLS-EYE!
THE SPECIAL DART
STICKS HARMLESSLY
TO THE MONKEY'S FUR.
Koki says NOW THAT
LITTLE TRANSMITTER
SENDS A SIGNAL TO OUR TABLET.
AND WE CAN SEE HIS
MOVEMENTS ON THE MAP,
EVEN IF WE CAN'T SEE HIM.
Jimmy Z says AWESOME!
LET ME GET THE NEXT ONE
WITH MY YELLOW TRANSMITTER.
THAT ONE.
UH-OH.
(zing)
(boing, boing, boing)
(hiss)
OH NO!
(fwoosh)
The dart bounces on several objects. A rake pricks an inflatable boat.
Chris says LOOK OUT!
All say WHEW!
AAAH!
OOOF!
The Brothers groan.
(pfffffft)
The boat lands on them.
All say OOF!
Martin says HEY, LITTLE MONKEY.
OH NO..NO..NO..NO.
LITTLE MONKEY,
DON'T PRESS THAT...
NO!
The monkey presses a red button that miniaturizes the team.
Chris says SHE MINIATURIZED US!
All say OOF.
Martin says HEY, HANG ON
THERE. THAT'S NOT A TOY.
Chris says YEAH, WE REALLY
KIND OF NEED THAT,
SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT...
RUNNING OFF WITH IT!
All yell COME BAAACK!
Martin says OH NO. THAT MONKEY MADE
OFF WITH OUR MINIATURIZER.
Aviva says IF WE DON'T GET
THAT MINIATURIZER BACK,
WE'LL BE MINI-SIZED FOREVER.
Martin says WE GOT TO CATCH
UP TO THAT MONKEY.
Chris says IS THE TRANSMITTER
WORKING KOKI?
Koki checks her tablet and says YES. AT LEAST WE
CAN TRACK HER MOVEMENTS.
Chris says OK. WE'LL GO
AFTER THE MINIATURIZER.
Aviva says AND JIMMY AND I
WILL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
Jimmy Z says I LIKE THAT IDEA.
Aviva says OH WOW. THIS
PLACE IS SO BIG
AND WE'RE LIKE ANT-SIZED.
Jimmy Z says HOW'RE WE GOING
TO GET AROUND IN HERE?
Aviva says I DON'T KNOW,
BUT WE GOT TO TRY.
HMMM...
Meanwhile, in the forest, the colourful frog appears.
Martin says OH, HEY ROY.
Chris says G.
Koki says BIV.
(laughter)
Martin says THIS IS
SUCH A GIANT FOREST
WHEN YOU'RE SUCH
A SMALL CREATURE.
ISN'T IT ROY?
Chris says YEAH, ROY DEFINITELY HAS
SMALL CREATURE EXPERIENCE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD STICK WITH HIM.
Koki says WELL, HE IS MOVING IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE MINIATURIZER.
Martin says OH, I WISH WE HAD
A CREATURE POWER SUIT.
MAYBE AVIVA CAN MAKE US ONE?
Chris says LET'S CALL HER.
(ringing)
(struggling)
Aviva and Jimmy climb a rope to reach a chair.
Aviva says INCOMING CALL! HURRY!
Jimmy Z says I'M HURRYING!
WHEW.
HEY!
GLAD I LEFT MY OLD
POPSICLE STICK HERE.
OK, GET ON.
READY?
Aviva jumps on the popsicle stick and lands on the computer.
Aviva says READY!
WHOOAA!
TORTUGA HERE.
Chris says AVIVA, WE COULD REALLY
USE A POISON FROG POWER SUIT.
CAN YOU MAKE ONE?
Aviva says WHAT? I'M MINI.
WE COULD BARELY
ANSWER THIS CALL!
Martin says WE NEED A
CREATURE POWER BOOST.
WE CAN'T COVER ANY GROUND HERE.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
Aviva says OK I'LL TRY.
JUST DON'T LET ROY OUT
OF YOU'RE SIGHT THEN.
Chris says WE WON'T!
Martin says FOLLOW THAT RAINBOW!
Aviva says OK JIMMY.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
Jimmy Z says RIGHTEO.
BUT I'M GOING TO NEED A SNACK.
Martin and Chris follow Roy.
Martin says WHY ARE WE STOPPING?
Chris says WHOA.
IT'S AN ANT CROSSING.
Roy eats the ant.
Martin says AMAZING. A
SNACK FOR A POISON FROG.
HOW'S THAT FOR A STICKY-TONGUED,
WIDE-MOUTHED ATTACK?
Koki says THANKS ROY.
I DID NOT WANT TO GET
RUN OVER BY AN ANT.
The Brothers say NO! STOP!
Martin says DON'T TOUCH HIM.
Chris says HE HAS POISON SKIN!
Koki says POISON SKIN?
Martin says YEAH THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE CALLED POISON FROGS.
SOME TYPES OF POISON
FROGS HAVE ENOUGH POISON
IN THEIR SKIN TO
KILL 20,000 MICE.
Koki says AND WE'RE MUCH SMALLER
THAN MOUSE SIZE NOW.
Chris says YEAH, IT'S A GREAT
DEFENSE AGAINST PREDATORS.
Koki says I'LL SAY.
BUT WHERE DOES THEIR
POISON COME FROM?
Chris says FROM THE FOOD THEY EAT.
ANTS, TERMITES, AND MILLIPEDES
HAVE CERTAIN CHEMICALS THAT
THE POISON FROGS COLLECT
IN GLANDS INSIDE THEIR BODIES.
Chris projects clips of the animals mentioned on holo screens.
Martin says THESE GLANDS
CONCENTRATE THE CHEMICALS
AND PRODUCE THE POISON.
Koki says THAT MEANS YOU'D
BETTER EAT UP ROY.
WE DON'T WANT ANY
PREDATORS TO GET YOU.
Back in the computer, Aviva and Jimmy tighten a rubber band around a clip.
Aviva says OK JIMMY, STRETCH THAT
RUBBER BAND RIGHT ACROSS HERE.
THIS FROG LEG PROTOTYPE
IS ALMOST FINISHED.
A LITTLE MORE.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF
STRETCHY, SPRINGY TENDONS
BUILT INTO THEIR LEGS.
Jimmy Z says AAAAHHHH!
WHOAAAA!
Jimmy gets ejected and lands on another surface.
Jimmy Z says UH...I'M OK.
Aviva sighs and says IT'S A LOT HARDER
MAKING A SUIT IN MINI.
I'M GOING TO ASK THEM
TO GET ME A DNA SAMPLE,
SOME SKIN OR SLIME, THAT
WOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER.
Martin says HEY, WHERE
YOU GOING ROY?
WHOA! YOU GOT TO SEE THIS!
Chris says WHAT?
Martin says IT'S A NEST
OF UNHATCHED TADPOLES.
THEY MUST BELONG
TO ROY AND HIS MATE.
Chris says COOL! AND ROY
HAS BEEN GUARDING THEM
EVER SINCE THE EGGS WERE LAID.
THAT'S ONE OF HIS JOBS.
(buzz croak)
AND MAKING SURE THEY
STAY NICE AND MOIST.
Koki says HEY, MAYBE WE CAN
TAKE JUST A LITTLE DOLLOP
OF THAT SLIME FOR
AVIVA'S SAMPLE.
Martin says YES, OF COURSE.
(beeping)
SENDING AVIVA THE SCAN.
SHE'S GOT IT!
Chris says HEY, THE TADPOLES.
THEY'RE MOVING!
Martin says THEY'RE
BEGINNING TO HATCH.
Koki says ONE'S OUT!
Chris says WELCOME TO THE
WORLD LITTLE TADPOLE.
Martin says HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
OH WOW, THESE
TADPOLES NEED NAMES.
I'LL NAME THEM AFTER THE
COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
YOU'LL BE RED.
ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE,
INDIGO, AND...VIOLET.
Koki says UM, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Chris says A FROGGYBACK RIDE!
Koki says A FROGGYBACK RIDE?
Chris says KIND OF LIKE
A PIGGYBACK RIDE,
BUT PIGS DON'T CARRY THEIR
BABIES ON THEIR BACKS.
THESE FROGS DO!
Martin says WE GOT TO SEE
WHERE HE'S TAKING THEM.
Chris says THE REST OF YOU
TADPOLES WAIT HERE, OK?
Chris covers the tadpoles with a leaf.
Martin says HURRY, HE'S CLIMBING!
Koki says THEY CLIMB TOO?
Chris says I LOVE THESE FROGS!
Koki says I HOPE AVIVA
HURRIES WITH THAT SUIT.
CLIMBING MINI-SIZED
ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY.
Aviva says WITH THIS SLIME
SAMPLE ANALYZED...
MY PROGRAMMING...
IS ALMOST COMPLETE! AND...
PRINT THE DISC!
IT'S... READY!
BROS, KOKI...ARE YOU READY
FOR SOME POISON FROG POWERS?
On the wall screen, Chris says DEFINITELY.
WE CAN BARELY KEEP UP WITH ROY.
Martin says HE'S FAST.
Koki says THAT'S FOR SURE.
Aviva says GET SET JIMMY!
Aviva throws the disc to Jimmy.
Jimmy Z says TELEPORTATION READY!
AND...ZAP IT.
Chris says WHERE'S THAT DISC?
THERE IT IS!
CAN'T LOSE IT IN THE FOREST.
GOT IT!
WHEW! GOOD THING I'M
THE CLIMBING BROTHER.
Martin says YEAH AND SINCE YOU
GOT IT FIRST, ACTIVATE BRO.
Chris says INSERT POISON
FROG POWER DISC.
TOUCH FROG, WITH GLOVE.
AND ACTIVATE POISON FROG POWER!
WHICH COOL COLOR
AM I GOING TO GET?
Chris morphs into a gray and black frog.
Chris says HUH?
WHAT...WHERE'RE THE COOL COLORS?
AVIVA, HELP!
Aviva says THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN I'M RUSHED.
I GOT TO WORK ON THAT.
THE POISON ISN'T ACTIVE EITHER,
REMEMBER YOU'D HAVE
TO EAT ANTS FOR THAT.
Chris says I'LL PASS.
BUT THAT'S SEE WHAT
THESE FROG LEGS CAN DO!
OH HO! WHOA!
WOW, THESE LEGS CAN
REALLY LAUNCH YOU FAR!
OH HO! I LOVE LEAPING
WITH FROG LEGS.
Martin says COOL LEAPS.
Koki says YEAH. HEY LOOK!
ROY'S TAKING OFF.
Martin says CAN YOU GIVE US A LIFT?
Chris says ALL ABOARD FOR
A FROGGYBACK RIDE!
Martin says WAIT FOR US ROY!
(upbeat climbing music)
Chris says WOO HOO! WE'RE HIGH NOW.
ENJOYING THE RIDE?
Martin says WELL, FROGGYBACK
RIDES ARE PRETTY BOUNCY!
Koki says WHOA...AND SLIPPERRY!
Martin says IT'S AMAZING THAT THOSE
TADPOLES STICK ON SO WELL.
Koki checks her tablet and says HEY, LOOKS LIKE THAT
MONKEY TROOP IS CLOSE BY.
Martin and Koki gasp.
Koki says THERE'S ONE!
THOSE MONKEY'S EAT SMALL
INSECTS, LIZARDS,
AND AMPHIBIANS.
ROY, LOOK OUT!
SHE SEES HIM!
OH, WHY IS ROY SO BRIGHT
AND EASY TO SEE?
Chris says UH-OH.
The Brothers and Koki say NOOO!
(monkey squealing)
Chris says GOOD ONE, MOM!
SHE'S TEACHING HIM AN IMPORTANT
LESSON OF THE FOREST.
A mom monkey stops the little monkey from touching Roy.
Martin says OH YEAH, SHE'S SAYING
"DON'T TOUCH THOSE
BRIGHT, COLORFUL FROGS.
THEY'RE POISONOUS."
Koki says AMAZING, SO THAT'S
WHY THEY'RE COLORFUL.
Chris says YUP. A WARNING SIGN.
ONE THAT'S BRIGHT, OBVIOUS,
AND EASY TO REMEMBER.
Martin says IT'S AN AWESOME DEFENSE
CALLED WARNING COLORATION.
Koki says SO IF YOU'RE
A POISONOUS FROG,
YOU WANT BRIGHT COLORS
THAT'LL STAND OUT
AS A WARNING TO PREDATORS.
Martin says EXACTLY, BUT IF
YOU DON'T HAVE POISON,
YOU WANT TO BLEND IN
AND HIDE FROM PREDATORS.
Chris says LIKE MY SUIT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE POISON
OR COLORS SO...
The Brothers and Koki say UH-OH...
SO WE'RE IN TROUBLE!
The little monkey tries to grab them.
(fast-paced music plays)
Martin says HOP CHRIS, HOP!
Chris says I'M HOPPING!
(tense music plays)
Martin says AVIVA, COME
IN. MAYDAY, MAYDAY!
WE NEED COLOR QUICK!
Aviva says I'M WORKING
ON THE UPDATE.
Martin says WE DON'T EVEN NEED
THE POISON, JUST THE COLOR.
Chris says YEAH, JUST THE
COLOR...THE COLOR!
Martin says IF YOU CAN GET THE COLOR
WORKING, WE CAN FOOL THE MONKEY.
THEY KNOW THAT BRIGHT
FROGS ARE DANGEROUS
AND THEY THINK THEY'RE
POISONOUS EVEN IF WE'RE NOT.
Chris says IT'S CALLED MIMICRY.
Martin says YEAH, MIMICRY.
A butterfly appears on the wall screen.
Aviva says OH YEAH.
MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
ARE POISONOUS.
BUT VICEROY BUTTERFLIES AREN'T.
THE VICEROYS JUST
LOOK LIKE MONARCHS
SO THAT PREDATORS
THINK THEY'RE POISONOUS.
SAME WITH THE NON-
VENOMOUS MILK SNAKE,
WHO LOOKS LIKE THE
VENOMOUS CORAL SNAKE.
MIMICS!
Chris says YEAH, SO JUST
GET US THAT COLOR.
WE NEED COLOR!
Aviva says OK, I'M HURRYING...
Chris says UH-OH. WE'RE CORNERED.
Martin says THIS IS NOT
GOING TO END WELL.
Aviva says I THINK I GOT IT.
UPDATE SUIT! PLEASE WORK.
Chris says YAY! I HAVE COLOR!
AVIVA DID IT!
I HAVE A YELLOW AND
GREEN SPECKLED BODY.
AWESOME!
Martin says OH, YOU LOOK COOL
BRO! AND JUST IN TIME.
WAY TO GO!
Koki says NOW THEY'LL
LEAVE CHRIS ALONE.
Chris says THERE'S THE MONKEY
WITH THE MINIATURIZER.
Martin says WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
CAN WE HAVE OUR
MINIATURIZER BACK?
Koki says PLEASE!
The Brothers say OHHH
Martin says UH-OH.
Something moves behind a bush.
Chris says LISTEN.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
Martin says ROY!
Chris says G!
Koki says BIV!
Chris says WHAT'RE YOU
DOING IN THERE?
All say WOW!
Chris says THESE COOL PLANTS CALLED
BROMELIADS GATHER RAINWATER.
Martin says IT'S LIKE A HIDDEN
MINI SWIMMING POOL
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST.
LOOK, LITTLE RED IS GOING IN.
HO HO HO! THIS IS AWESOME!
A GREAT LITTLE POOL TO
GROW UP IN. RIGHT RED?
Koki says SO THAT'S WHAT THE
FROGGYBACK JOURNEY
WAS ALL ABOUT?
TO DROP HER OFF HERE?
Chris says THAT'S RIGHT. THE TAD-
POLES NEED WATER TO DEVELOP IN.
AND CHECK IT OUT.
MOSQUITO LARVA.
EVERY POOL IS BOUND TO HAVE
SOME KIND OF FOOD IN IT.
LARVA, ALGAE, INVERTEBRATES.
LITTLE SNACKS FOR
TADPOLES TO LIVE ON.
SO THIS IS WHERE RED WILL
LIVE UNTIL SHE GROWS LEGS,
LOSES HER TAIL, AND TRANSFORMS
INTO A BRIGHT COLORFUL FROG,
LIKE ROY.
Aviva appears on a holo screen.
She says SPEAKING OF COLOR, I'VE
PROGRAMMED THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM
OF POISON FROG COLORS INTO
YOUR SUIT. CHECK IT OUT.
Chris presses the dish and he changes from red, to orange and yellow.
Chris says WOW!
Martin says WHOA!
Martin and Koki say AWESOME!
Martin says LOOK AT THE COLORS!
Koki says HEY GUYS, ROY'S
ON THE MOVE AGAIN.
Chris says THAT'S BECAUSE HE
NEEDS TO FIND MORE POOLS
FOR THE REST OF THE TADPOLES.
Martin says ORANGE, AND THE REST,
WILL EACH GET THEIR OWN POOL.
They all gasp.
Martin says IT'S HER!
THE MONKEY WITH THE MINIATURIZE.
Chris says QUICK...HOP ON.
AFTER HER!
OH NO...
SHE'S GETTING AWAY!
Martin says GO CHRIS GO!
USE THOSE LEG POWERS!
Chris says HOLD ON. THIS IS IT!
Chris says YAAAHH!
The Brothers and Koki say WHOAAAA!
Chris jump and they land on the monkey.
Chris says STUCK THE LANDING!
Martin says QUICK INTO THE FUR.
Chris says I'M OUT OF HERE!
Martin says HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
LET'S TICKLE HER.
Koki says WHY?
Martin says MAYBE SHE'LL
DROP THE MINIATURIZER?
Martin and Koki say TICKLE,
TICKLE, TICKLE, TICKLE.
Koki says GROSS.
Martin and Koki say TICKLE,
TICKLE, TICKLE.
Martin says OH NO.
SHE'S ASKING TO GET GROOMED.
THESE MONKEYS ARE
PICKING PARASITES!
Koki says DOESN'T SHE KNOW
WE'RE NOT PARASITES?
WE'RE JUST TICKLERS.
THIS PLAN IS BACKFIRING!
Martin says YEAH, STAY AWAY
FROM THOSE MONKEY FINGERS!
Koki says I'M TRYING!
Chris says THEY'RE IN TROUBLE!
I GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
HEY MONKEYS! CHECK IT OUT!
WOO HOO.
He snaps his finger changing colours.
He continues I CAN DO ALL THE COLORS
THAT POISON FROGS COME IN.
(funky dance music plays)
Chris says HEY AND CHECK IT OUT.
BLUE AND RED MAKE PURPLE!
Koki says OK MARTIN, WHILE
CHRIS HAS THEM DISTRACTED,
WE CAN GRAB THE MINIATURIZER.
MARTIN?
Martin says OH YEAH!
I LOVE THIS BEAT.
Koki says MARTIN!
Martin says HUH? WHOA, SORRY.
Chris says AND RAINBOW
COLORS! ROYGBIV.
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET.
Martin and Koki release the disk.
Chris says WOO HOO! AND THAT'S THE SHOW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! GOTTA LEAP!
Chris says LET'S GET...
All say BIG SIZED!
They get back to their normal shape.
All say YAY!
Koki says WE DID IT! AND WE
CAN'T LOSE THIS AGAIN.
AVIVA, YOU GUYS WILL
BE BIG-SIZED SOON.
In the Tortuga, Aviva says GREAT JOB GUYS!
Chris says C'MON!
Aviva says JIMMY, THEY
RESCUED THE MINIATURIZER.
NO MORE MINI-SIZED! JIMMY?
Jimmy Z says OVER HERE AVIVA.
(laughter)
GIANT POPCORN BOWL PIT.
BEING MINI ISN'T ALL BAD.
DELICIOUS!
Later, the team finishes paintings.
Chris says WELL, THAT'S CREATURE
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE
FROGGYBACK ADVENTURE.
Martin says YEAH. THANKS FOR
LEADING THE WAY ROY.
Chris says WE COULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
(buzz croak)
Aviva says YEAH, WE LEARNED
SO MUCH ABOUT POISON FROGS.
Jimmy Z says AND ABOUT COLOR
AND HOW IT CAN BE REALLY
IMPORTANT TO SOME ANIMALS.
Martin says AND, WE GOT
OUR MINIATURIZER BACK.
Koki says WE EVEN GOT
A LOT OF DATA ABOUT
MONKEY HOME RANGES
FOR OUR SCIENCE STUDY.
Martin says OOH...HEY
AND CHECK OUT
THE POISON FROG PATTERN
I MADE UP.
(laughing)
Jimmy Z says OH THAT ONE IS AWESOME.
Martin says THANKS.
Chris says HEY, AND THIS IS WHAT
IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON A FROG.
Chris presses a button and changes his suit into a blue circle pattern.
Martin says SO COOL.
Aviva says IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
Koki says NICE!
Jimmy Z says AND A GOOD PATTERN.
HERE, CAN YOU DO MINE?
Chris says OK.
All say OOOOOH...
Aviva says NOW MINE!
All say AHHH...
Chris says POISON FROGS ARE AWESOME.
Martin says SO IS CREATURE ART.
RIGHT ROY?
Chris says G...
Koki says BIV.
(laughter)
Now the show turns back to real life.
In the forest, Martin says SO POISON FROGS COME
IN ALL COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
Chris says AND THOSE COLORS ARE
PART OF A VERY COOL DEFENCE.
BRIGHT COLORS CAN BE USEFUL
IN THE CREATURE WORLD
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS,
BUT MANY OF THE MOST
COLORFUL CREATURES
HAPPEN TO BE POISONOUS.
LIKE THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
AND THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY,
WHICH HAS A POWERFUL TOXIN
THAT MAKES PREDATORS SICK.
SO, WHY BE COLORFUL
IF YOU'RE POISONOUS?
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
FAMILY OF POISON FROGS.
LIKE THE THREE-STRIPED
POISON FROG.
POISON FROGS COME IN ALL THESE
COLORFUL PATTERNS BECAUSE
THEY'RE SAYING SOMETHING.
THEY'RE NOT TRYING
TO CAMOUFLAGE,
THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY TO
PREDATORS, "HEY, I'M POISONOUS,
SO BACK OFF.
DON'T MESS WITH ME."
Martin says POISON FROGS, THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF POISON.
THE MORE COLORFUL,
THE MORE POISONOUS.
THIS IS PRATT'S ROCKET
FROG ISN'T COLORFUL,
BUT HE'S STILL
A LITTLE POISONOUS.
JUST NOT AS TOXIC AS
DENDROBATES TINCTORIUS,
THAT COMES IN BRILLIANT
BLUE OR MULTI COLORED,
WITH YELLOW PATTERNS
ON ITS BACK.
AND THEN THERE'S
THE BLUE JEANS FROG.
WHICH KIND OF LOOKS LIKE
IT'S WEARING BLUE JEANS
AND A BRIGHT RED SHIRT.
BUT ONE OF THE MOST TOXIC FROGS
IS THE GOLDEN POISON
FROG FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
IT'S SO TOXIC THAT EVEN
TOUCHING IT COULD BE FATAL.
NOW THIS ONE, IF YOU
TOUCH, YOU'LL GET SICK.
BUT THIS POISON FROG'S
NOT DEADLY TO HUMANS.
BUT THEY HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON,
WHERE THEY GET THEIR POISON.
Chris says THESE FROGS GET THEIR
POISON FROM THE FOOD THEY EAT.
THEY EAT MILLIPEDES,
TERMITES AND ANTS
AND THERE ARE
DIFFERENT CHEMICALS
INSIDE THEIR PREY'S BODY
THAT THEY CONCENTRATE IN
GLANDS UNDERNEATH THEIR SKIN.
THOSE CONCENTRATED CHEMICALS
ARE WHAT PRODUCES THE POISON
IN THIS FROG'S CHEMICAL DEFENCE.
Martin says AND THAT IS AN
AMAZING CREATURE POWER.
Chris says SO, CHECK OUT ALL THE
DIFFERENT KINDS OF POISON FROGS.
Martin says AND PICK OUT
THE SPECIES WITH YOUR
FAVORITE COLORS AND PATTERN.
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 the Amazon area appears highlighted. A clip shows the brothers walking on the forest.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Martin says ON THE SOUTH
AMERICAN CONTINENT,
IN THE LARGEST RAINFOREST
IN THE WORLD, THE AMAZON.
WE'RE HERE ON THE
RAINFOREST FLOOR.
Chris says IT'S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN.
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
A WET, HUMID RAINFOREST
IS A GREAT PLACE TO
GO LOOKING FOR FROGS.
Martin says SO LET'S
SPLIT UP, SPREAD OUT
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.
A FROG!
MEET THE GIANT
BROAD-HEADED TREEFROG.
THIS IS A BIG TREEFROG
AND LOOK AT THAT WIDE HEAD.
THIS FROG HAS AMAZING
TREE CLIMBING POWERS.
LOOK AT THOSE FEET.
SEE THE SUCTION PAD TIPS?
THOSE ARE GREAT FOR
GRIPPING WHILE CLIMBING.
Martin places the frog on a branch tree.
Martin says SHOW US A JUMP CLIMB.
He gasps and says AMAZING!
Chris says THERE'S ONE.
WHOA...LOOK AT
THIS AWESOME FROG!
IT'S SO COLORFUL.
I LOVE THE BRIGHT GREEN STRIPES.
MARTIN, CHECK OUT THIS ONE.
Martin says HEY, I THINK THIS IS
FROM THE DENDROBATES FAMILY.
THIS FAMILY IS FULL
OF SOME OF THE MOST
COLORFUL FROGS IN THE WORLD.
Chris says OH YEAH, ALL
DIFFERENT COLORS.
BLUES, REDS, ORANGES,
YELLOWS AND GREENS.
EVERY COLOR UNDER THE RAINBOW.
Martin says HEY, THOSE
LINES REALLY STAND OUT.
Chris says AND CHECK IT OUT.
IT'S GOT A LITTLE BLUE
UNDER ITS LEGS. UNDERNEATH.
Martin says I LIKE IT.
I LIKE THIS FROG.
Chris says WHAT AN AWESOME
DENDROBATES FROG.
Martin says AND WHAT ARE
THOSE COLORS FOR?
IMAGINE IF WE COULD DO
WHAT THESE FROGS CAN DO.
Chris says IMAGINE IF WE
HAD THE CREATURE POWERS
OF THE DENDROBATES FROGS.
Martin and Chris 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 name of the episode appears. It reads "The Great Froggyback Ride."
The team stands next to the Tortuga in a forest. They are painting small objects.
Martin says AH YEAH, WE HAVE
ALL THE COLORS OF THAT
BEAUTIFUL AMAZON
RAINBOW RIGHT HERE.
Aviva says GREAT! REMEMBER,
ALL THESE TRANSMITTER CHIPS
NEED TO BE A DIFFERENT COLOR.
Chris says SO THEY CAN'T
ALL BE BLUE MARTIN.
Martin says AWW. WELL,
THIS ONE WILL BE.
Koki says WHY DO YOU GUYS LIKE BLUE
AND GREEN SO MUCH ANYWAY?
Chris says GREEN REMINDS
ME OF NATURE.
ALL THE FORESTS, JUNGLES,
AND GRASSLANDS
WHERE I LOVE TO BE.
Martin says BLUE IS LIKE
THE WATER AND THE SKY
AND... MY EYES.
AND BESIDES, BLUE IS A
PRIMARY COLOR FOR PAINTS.
GREEN IS JUST A SECONDARY COLOR.
(laughing)
Chris says YEAH, WELL
GREEN IS BETTER BECAUSE
IT'S A MIX OF
TWO PAINT COLORS,
YELLOW AND BLUE.
THAT'S WAY MORE INTERESTING.
Martin says IT'S TRUE, BUT
YOU DID USE BLUE.
Chris says RIGHT, BUT COLOR
IS PRETTY COMPLEX.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
LIGHT AS OPPOSED TO PAINT,
THEN GREEN BECOMES
A PRIMARY COLOR.
Chris shoots a laser beam.
He continues GREEN AND RED LIGHT
MAKES YELLOW.
Martin says SO IT COMES DOWN TO
THIS, ALL COLORS ARE COOL.
The Brothers say OH YEAH!
A small blue, black and yellow frog appears on the table.
Koki says OH NO!
WHO SPLATTERED
PAINT ON THIS FROG?
Jimmy Z says I DIDN'T DO THAT!
The Brothers say A POISON FROG!
Martin says HE'S FINE.
THAT'S JUST HOW THEY LOOK.
THEY ARE SO COLORFUL.
Aviva says WOW!
HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
Martin says YEAH, THIS ONE'S
CALLED THE COBALT POISON FROG.
SCIENTIFIC NAME,
DENDROBATES TINCTORIUS.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF POISON FROGS.
ALL WITH THEIR OWN
BRILLIANT COLORS.
Martin shows frog pictures projected on a holo screen.
Koki says WHOA.
Aviva says OOH.
Jimmy Z says WOW.
Chris says YUP, ALL THE
COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
He closes his eyes and says RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET.
Jimmy Z says HEY, YOU DID
THAT WITHOUT LOOKING.
Chris says YUP.
ROYGBIV.
Jimmy Z says SAY WHAT?
Chris says ROYGBIV.
THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT.
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE INDIGO, VIOLET.
ROYGBIV.
Jimmy Z says COOL.
Martin says THAT'S WHAT
I'LL NAME YOU.
ROY G. BIV.
FIRST NAME, ROY.
MIDDLE INITIAL G.
LAST NAME, BIV.
Koki says ROY G. BIV.
I THINK HE LIKES IT.
Aviva says OK. DART SHAFT READY.
JUST LOAD THE
TRANSMITTER IN HERE
AND WE'RE READY
TO DO SOME SCIENCE.
Chris says OK GREAT.
IN ORDER TO STUDY THE HOME
RANGE OF SQUIRREL MONKEYS,
WE NEED TO GET THOSE
TRANSMITTERS
ONTO...
THOSE MONKEYS.
A group of monkeys rests on a tree.
Martin says SQUIRREL MONKEYS LIVE
IN BIG GROUPS THAT SOMETIMES
BREAK OFF INTO SMALLER GROUPS.
IT CAN BE KIND OF CONFUSING.
IF WE CAN TRACK THEM, WE CAN TRY
TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER.
Jimmy Z says BUT HOW DO WE GET THE
TRANSMITTERS ONTO THE MONKEYS?
Chris says THE RESEARCH BLOW
DART IS THE PERFECT METHOD.
Chris blows a dart at a monkey.
Aviva says BULLS-EYE!
THE SPECIAL DART
STICKS HARMLESSLY
TO THE MONKEY'S FUR.
Koki says NOW THAT
LITTLE TRANSMITTER
SENDS A SIGNAL TO OUR TABLET.
AND WE CAN SEE HIS
MOVEMENTS ON THE MAP,
EVEN IF WE CAN'T SEE HIM.
Jimmy Z says AWESOME!
LET ME GET THE NEXT ONE
WITH MY YELLOW TRANSMITTER.
THAT ONE.
UH-OH.
(zing)
(boing, boing, boing)
(hiss)
OH NO!
(fwoosh)
The dart bounces on several objects. A rake pricks an inflatable boat.
Chris says LOOK OUT!
All say WHEW!
AAAH!
OOOF!
The Brothers groan.
(pfffffft)
The boat lands on them.
All say OOF!
Martin says HEY, LITTLE MONKEY.
OH NO..NO..NO..NO.
LITTLE MONKEY,
DON'T PRESS THAT...
NO!
The monkey presses a red button that miniaturizes the team.
Chris says SHE MINIATURIZED US!
All say OOF.
Martin says HEY, HANG ON
THERE. THAT'S NOT A TOY.
Chris says YEAH, WE REALLY
KIND OF NEED THAT,
SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT...
RUNNING OFF WITH IT!
All yell COME BAAACK!
Martin says OH NO. THAT MONKEY MADE
OFF WITH OUR MINIATURIZER.
Aviva says IF WE DON'T GET
THAT MINIATURIZER BACK,
WE'LL BE MINI-SIZED FOREVER.
Martin says WE GOT TO CATCH
UP TO THAT MONKEY.
Chris says IS THE TRANSMITTER
WORKING KOKI?
Koki checks her tablet and says YES. AT LEAST WE
CAN TRACK HER MOVEMENTS.
Chris says OK. WE'LL GO
AFTER THE MINIATURIZER.
Aviva says AND JIMMY AND I
WILL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
Jimmy Z says I LIKE THAT IDEA.
Aviva says OH WOW. THIS
PLACE IS SO BIG
AND WE'RE LIKE ANT-SIZED.
Jimmy Z says HOW'RE WE GOING
TO GET AROUND IN HERE?
Aviva says I DON'T KNOW,
BUT WE GOT TO TRY.
HMMM...
Meanwhile, in the forest, the colourful frog appears.
Martin says OH, HEY ROY.
Chris says G.
Koki says BIV.
(laughter)
Martin says THIS IS
SUCH A GIANT FOREST
WHEN YOU'RE SUCH
A SMALL CREATURE.
ISN'T IT ROY?
Chris says YEAH, ROY DEFINITELY HAS
SMALL CREATURE EXPERIENCE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD STICK WITH HIM.
Koki says WELL, HE IS MOVING IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE MINIATURIZER.
Martin says OH, I WISH WE HAD
A CREATURE POWER SUIT.
MAYBE AVIVA CAN MAKE US ONE?
Chris says LET'S CALL HER.
(ringing)
(struggling)
Aviva and Jimmy climb a rope to reach a chair.
Aviva says INCOMING CALL! HURRY!
Jimmy Z says I'M HURRYING!
WHEW.
HEY!
GLAD I LEFT MY OLD
POPSICLE STICK HERE.
OK, GET ON.
READY?
Aviva jumps on the popsicle stick and lands on the computer.
Aviva says READY!
WHOOAA!
TORTUGA HERE.
Chris says AVIVA, WE COULD REALLY
USE A POISON FROG POWER SUIT.
CAN YOU MAKE ONE?
Aviva says WHAT? I'M MINI.
WE COULD BARELY
ANSWER THIS CALL!
Martin says WE NEED A
CREATURE POWER BOOST.
WE CAN'T COVER ANY GROUND HERE.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
Aviva says OK I'LL TRY.
JUST DON'T LET ROY OUT
OF YOU'RE SIGHT THEN.
Chris says WE WON'T!
Martin says FOLLOW THAT RAINBOW!
Aviva says OK JIMMY.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
Jimmy Z says RIGHTEO.
BUT I'M GOING TO NEED A SNACK.
Martin and Chris follow Roy.
Martin says WHY ARE WE STOPPING?
Chris says WHOA.
IT'S AN ANT CROSSING.
Roy eats the ant.
Martin says AMAZING. A
SNACK FOR A POISON FROG.
HOW'S THAT FOR A STICKY-TONGUED,
WIDE-MOUTHED ATTACK?
Koki says THANKS ROY.
I DID NOT WANT TO GET
RUN OVER BY AN ANT.
The Brothers say NO! STOP!
Martin says DON'T TOUCH HIM.
Chris says HE HAS POISON SKIN!
Koki says POISON SKIN?
Martin says YEAH THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE CALLED POISON FROGS.
SOME TYPES OF POISON
FROGS HAVE ENOUGH POISON
IN THEIR SKIN TO
KILL 20,000 MICE.
Koki says AND WE'RE MUCH SMALLER
THAN MOUSE SIZE NOW.
Chris says YEAH, IT'S A GREAT
DEFENSE AGAINST PREDATORS.
Koki says I'LL SAY.
BUT WHERE DOES THEIR
POISON COME FROM?
Chris says FROM THE FOOD THEY EAT.
ANTS, TERMITES, AND MILLIPEDES
HAVE CERTAIN CHEMICALS THAT
THE POISON FROGS COLLECT
IN GLANDS INSIDE THEIR BODIES.
Chris projects clips of the animals mentioned on holo screens.
Martin says THESE GLANDS
CONCENTRATE THE CHEMICALS
AND PRODUCE THE POISON.
Koki says THAT MEANS YOU'D
BETTER EAT UP ROY.
WE DON'T WANT ANY
PREDATORS TO GET YOU.
Back in the computer, Aviva and Jimmy tighten a rubber band around a clip.
Aviva says OK JIMMY, STRETCH THAT
RUBBER BAND RIGHT ACROSS HERE.
THIS FROG LEG PROTOTYPE
IS ALMOST FINISHED.
A LITTLE MORE.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF
STRETCHY, SPRINGY TENDONS
BUILT INTO THEIR LEGS.
Jimmy Z says AAAAHHHH!
WHOAAAA!
Jimmy gets ejected and lands on another surface.
Jimmy Z says UH...I'M OK.
Aviva sighs and says IT'S A LOT HARDER
MAKING A SUIT IN MINI.
I'M GOING TO ASK THEM
TO GET ME A DNA SAMPLE,
SOME SKIN OR SLIME, THAT
WOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER.
Martin says HEY, WHERE
YOU GOING ROY?
WHOA! YOU GOT TO SEE THIS!
Chris says WHAT?
Martin says IT'S A NEST
OF UNHATCHED TADPOLES.
THEY MUST BELONG
TO ROY AND HIS MATE.
Chris says COOL! AND ROY
HAS BEEN GUARDING THEM
EVER SINCE THE EGGS WERE LAID.
THAT'S ONE OF HIS JOBS.
(buzz croak)
AND MAKING SURE THEY
STAY NICE AND MOIST.
Koki says HEY, MAYBE WE CAN
TAKE JUST A LITTLE DOLLOP
OF THAT SLIME FOR
AVIVA'S SAMPLE.
Martin says YES, OF COURSE.
(beeping)
SENDING AVIVA THE SCAN.
SHE'S GOT IT!
Chris says HEY, THE TADPOLES.
THEY'RE MOVING!
Martin says THEY'RE
BEGINNING TO HATCH.
Koki says ONE'S OUT!
Chris says WELCOME TO THE
WORLD LITTLE TADPOLE.
Martin says HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
OH WOW, THESE
TADPOLES NEED NAMES.
I'LL NAME THEM AFTER THE
COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
YOU'LL BE RED.
ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE,
INDIGO, AND...VIOLET.
Koki says UM, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Chris says A FROGGYBACK RIDE!
Koki says A FROGGYBACK RIDE?
Chris says KIND OF LIKE
A PIGGYBACK RIDE,
BUT PIGS DON'T CARRY THEIR
BABIES ON THEIR BACKS.
THESE FROGS DO!
Martin says WE GOT TO SEE
WHERE HE'S TAKING THEM.
Chris says THE REST OF YOU
TADPOLES WAIT HERE, OK?
Chris covers the tadpoles with a leaf.
Martin says HURRY, HE'S CLIMBING!
Koki says THEY CLIMB TOO?
Chris says I LOVE THESE FROGS!
Koki says I HOPE AVIVA
HURRIES WITH THAT SUIT.
CLIMBING MINI-SIZED
ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY.
Aviva says WITH THIS SLIME
SAMPLE ANALYZED...
MY PROGRAMMING...
IS ALMOST COMPLETE! AND...
PRINT THE DISC!
IT'S... READY!
BROS, KOKI...ARE YOU READY
FOR SOME POISON FROG POWERS?
On the wall screen, Chris says DEFINITELY.
WE CAN BARELY KEEP UP WITH ROY.
Martin says HE'S FAST.
Koki says THAT'S FOR SURE.
Aviva says GET SET JIMMY!
Aviva throws the disc to Jimmy.
Jimmy Z says TELEPORTATION READY!
AND...ZAP IT.
Chris says WHERE'S THAT DISC?
THERE IT IS!
CAN'T LOSE IT IN THE FOREST.
GOT IT!
WHEW! GOOD THING I'M
THE CLIMBING BROTHER.
Martin says YEAH AND SINCE YOU
GOT IT FIRST, ACTIVATE BRO.
Chris says INSERT POISON
FROG POWER DISC.
TOUCH FROG, WITH GLOVE.
AND ACTIVATE POISON FROG POWER!
WHICH COOL COLOR
AM I GOING TO GET?
Chris morphs into a gray and black frog.
Chris says HUH?
WHAT...WHERE'RE THE COOL COLORS?
AVIVA, HELP!
Aviva says THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN I'M RUSHED.
I GOT TO WORK ON THAT.
THE POISON ISN'T ACTIVE EITHER,
REMEMBER YOU'D HAVE
TO EAT ANTS FOR THAT.
Chris says I'LL PASS.
BUT THAT'S SEE WHAT
THESE FROG LEGS CAN DO!
OH HO! WHOA!
WOW, THESE LEGS CAN
REALLY LAUNCH YOU FAR!
OH HO! I LOVE LEAPING
WITH FROG LEGS.
Martin says COOL LEAPS.
Koki says YEAH. HEY LOOK!
ROY'S TAKING OFF.
Martin says CAN YOU GIVE US A LIFT?
Chris says ALL ABOARD FOR
A FROGGYBACK RIDE!
Martin says WAIT FOR US ROY!
(upbeat climbing music)
Chris says WOO HOO! WE'RE HIGH NOW.
ENJOYING THE RIDE?
Martin says WELL, FROGGYBACK
RIDES ARE PRETTY BOUNCY!
Koki says WHOA...AND SLIPPERRY!
Martin says IT'S AMAZING THAT THOSE
TADPOLES STICK ON SO WELL.
Koki checks her tablet and says HEY, LOOKS LIKE THAT
MONKEY TROOP IS CLOSE BY.
Martin and Koki gasp.
Koki says THERE'S ONE!
THOSE MONKEY'S EAT SMALL
INSECTS, LIZARDS,
AND AMPHIBIANS.
ROY, LOOK OUT!
SHE SEES HIM!
OH, WHY IS ROY SO BRIGHT
AND EASY TO SEE?
Chris says UH-OH.
The Brothers and Koki say NOOO!
(monkey squealing)
Chris says GOOD ONE, MOM!
SHE'S TEACHING HIM AN IMPORTANT
LESSON OF THE FOREST.
A mom monkey stops the little monkey from touching Roy.
Martin says OH YEAH, SHE'S SAYING
"DON'T TOUCH THOSE
BRIGHT, COLORFUL FROGS.
THEY'RE POISONOUS."
Koki says AMAZING, SO THAT'S
WHY THEY'RE COLORFUL.
Chris says YUP. A WARNING SIGN.
ONE THAT'S BRIGHT, OBVIOUS,
AND EASY TO REMEMBER.
Martin says IT'S AN AWESOME DEFENSE
CALLED WARNING COLORATION.
Koki says SO IF YOU'RE
A POISONOUS FROG,
YOU WANT BRIGHT COLORS
THAT'LL STAND OUT
AS A WARNING TO PREDATORS.
Martin says EXACTLY, BUT IF
YOU DON'T HAVE POISON,
YOU WANT TO BLEND IN
AND HIDE FROM PREDATORS.
Chris says LIKE MY SUIT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE POISON
OR COLORS SO...
The Brothers and Koki say UH-OH...
SO WE'RE IN TROUBLE!
The little monkey tries to grab them.
(fast-paced music plays)
Martin says HOP CHRIS, HOP!
Chris says I'M HOPPING!
(tense music plays)
Martin says AVIVA, COME
IN. MAYDAY, MAYDAY!
WE NEED COLOR QUICK!
Aviva says I'M WORKING
ON THE UPDATE.
Martin says WE DON'T EVEN NEED
THE POISON, JUST THE COLOR.
Chris says YEAH, JUST THE
COLOR...THE COLOR!
Martin says IF YOU CAN GET THE COLOR
WORKING, WE CAN FOOL THE MONKEY.
THEY KNOW THAT BRIGHT
FROGS ARE DANGEROUS
AND THEY THINK THEY'RE
POISONOUS EVEN IF WE'RE NOT.
Chris says IT'S CALLED MIMICRY.
Martin says YEAH, MIMICRY.
A butterfly appears on the wall screen.
Aviva says OH YEAH.
MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
ARE POISONOUS.
BUT VICEROY BUTTERFLIES AREN'T.
THE VICEROYS JUST
LOOK LIKE MONARCHS
SO THAT PREDATORS
THINK THEY'RE POISONOUS.
SAME WITH THE NON-
VENOMOUS MILK SNAKE,
WHO LOOKS LIKE THE
VENOMOUS CORAL SNAKE.
MIMICS!
Chris says YEAH, SO JUST
GET US THAT COLOR.
WE NEED COLOR!
Aviva says OK, I'M HURRYING...
Chris says UH-OH. WE'RE CORNERED.
Martin says THIS IS NOT
GOING TO END WELL.
Aviva says I THINK I GOT IT.
UPDATE SUIT! PLEASE WORK.
Chris says YAY! I HAVE COLOR!
AVIVA DID IT!
I HAVE A YELLOW AND
GREEN SPECKLED BODY.
AWESOME!
Martin says OH, YOU LOOK COOL
BRO! AND JUST IN TIME.
WAY TO GO!
Koki says NOW THEY'LL
LEAVE CHRIS ALONE.
Chris says THERE'S THE MONKEY
WITH THE MINIATURIZER.
Martin says WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
CAN WE HAVE OUR
MINIATURIZER BACK?
Koki says PLEASE!
The Brothers say OHHH
Martin says UH-OH.
Something moves behind a bush.
Chris says LISTEN.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
Martin says ROY!
Chris says G!
Koki says BIV!
Chris says WHAT'RE YOU
DOING IN THERE?
All say WOW!
Chris says THESE COOL PLANTS CALLED
BROMELIADS GATHER RAINWATER.
Martin says IT'S LIKE A HIDDEN
MINI SWIMMING POOL
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST.
LOOK, LITTLE RED IS GOING IN.
HO HO HO! THIS IS AWESOME!
A GREAT LITTLE POOL TO
GROW UP IN. RIGHT RED?
Koki says SO THAT'S WHAT THE
FROGGYBACK JOURNEY
WAS ALL ABOUT?
TO DROP HER OFF HERE?
Chris says THAT'S RIGHT. THE TAD-
POLES NEED WATER TO DEVELOP IN.
AND CHECK IT OUT.
MOSQUITO LARVA.
EVERY POOL IS BOUND TO HAVE
SOME KIND OF FOOD IN IT.
LARVA, ALGAE, INVERTEBRATES.
LITTLE SNACKS FOR
TADPOLES TO LIVE ON.
SO THIS IS WHERE RED WILL
LIVE UNTIL SHE GROWS LEGS,
LOSES HER TAIL, AND TRANSFORMS
INTO A BRIGHT COLORFUL FROG,
LIKE ROY.
Aviva appears on a holo screen.
She says SPEAKING OF COLOR, I'VE
PROGRAMMED THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM
OF POISON FROG COLORS INTO
YOUR SUIT. CHECK IT OUT.
Chris presses the dish and he changes from red, to orange and yellow.
Chris says WOW!
Martin says WHOA!
Martin and Koki say AWESOME!
Martin says LOOK AT THE COLORS!
Koki says HEY GUYS, ROY'S
ON THE MOVE AGAIN.
Chris says THAT'S BECAUSE HE
NEEDS TO FIND MORE POOLS
FOR THE REST OF THE TADPOLES.
Martin says ORANGE, AND THE REST,
WILL EACH GET THEIR OWN POOL.
They all gasp.
Martin says IT'S HER!
THE MONKEY WITH THE MINIATURIZE.
Chris says QUICK...HOP ON.
AFTER HER!
OH NO...
SHE'S GETTING AWAY!
Martin says GO CHRIS GO!
USE THOSE LEG POWERS!
Chris says HOLD ON. THIS IS IT!
Chris says YAAAHH!
The Brothers and Koki say WHOAAAA!
Chris jump and they land on the monkey.
Chris says STUCK THE LANDING!
Martin says QUICK INTO THE FUR.
Chris says I'M OUT OF HERE!
Martin says HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
LET'S TICKLE HER.
Koki says WHY?
Martin says MAYBE SHE'LL
DROP THE MINIATURIZER?
Martin and Koki say TICKLE,
TICKLE, TICKLE, TICKLE.
Koki says GROSS.
Martin and Koki say TICKLE,
TICKLE, TICKLE.
Martin says OH NO.
SHE'S ASKING TO GET GROOMED.
THESE MONKEYS ARE
PICKING PARASITES!
Koki says DOESN'T SHE KNOW
WE'RE NOT PARASITES?
WE'RE JUST TICKLERS.
THIS PLAN IS BACKFIRING!
Martin says YEAH, STAY AWAY
FROM THOSE MONKEY FINGERS!
Koki says I'M TRYING!
Chris says THEY'RE IN TROUBLE!
I GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
HEY MONKEYS! CHECK IT OUT!
WOO HOO.
He snaps his finger changing colours.
He continues I CAN DO ALL THE COLORS
THAT POISON FROGS COME IN.
(funky dance music plays)
Chris says HEY AND CHECK IT OUT.
BLUE AND RED MAKE PURPLE!
Koki says OK MARTIN, WHILE
CHRIS HAS THEM DISTRACTED,
WE CAN GRAB THE MINIATURIZER.
MARTIN?
Martin says OH YEAH!
I LOVE THIS BEAT.
Koki says MARTIN!
Martin says HUH? WHOA, SORRY.
Chris says AND RAINBOW
COLORS! ROYGBIV.
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN,
BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET.
Martin and Koki release the disk.
Chris says WOO HOO! AND THAT'S THE SHOW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! GOTTA LEAP!
Chris says LET'S GET...
All say BIG SIZED!
They get back to their normal shape.
All say YAY!
Koki says WE DID IT! AND WE
CAN'T LOSE THIS AGAIN.
AVIVA, YOU GUYS WILL
BE BIG-SIZED SOON.
In the Tortuga, Aviva says GREAT JOB GUYS!
Chris says C'MON!
Aviva says JIMMY, THEY
RESCUED THE MINIATURIZER.
NO MORE MINI-SIZED! JIMMY?
Jimmy Z says OVER HERE AVIVA.
(laughter)
GIANT POPCORN BOWL PIT.
BEING MINI ISN'T ALL BAD.
DELICIOUS!
Later, the team finishes paintings.
Chris says WELL, THAT'S CREATURE
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE
FROGGYBACK ADVENTURE.
Martin says YEAH. THANKS FOR
LEADING THE WAY ROY.
Chris says WE COULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
(buzz croak)
Aviva says YEAH, WE LEARNED
SO MUCH ABOUT POISON FROGS.
Jimmy Z says AND ABOUT COLOR
AND HOW IT CAN BE REALLY
IMPORTANT TO SOME ANIMALS.
Martin says AND, WE GOT
OUR MINIATURIZER BACK.
Koki says WE EVEN GOT
A LOT OF DATA ABOUT
MONKEY HOME RANGES
FOR OUR SCIENCE STUDY.
Martin says OOH...HEY
AND CHECK OUT
THE POISON FROG PATTERN
I MADE UP.
(laughing)
Jimmy Z says OH THAT ONE IS AWESOME.
Martin says THANKS.
Chris says HEY, AND THIS IS WHAT
IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON A FROG.
Chris presses a button and changes his suit into a blue circle pattern.
Martin says SO COOL.
Aviva says IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
Koki says NICE!
Jimmy Z says AND A GOOD PATTERN.
HERE, CAN YOU DO MINE?
Chris says OK.
All say OOOOOH...
Aviva says NOW MINE!
All say AHHH...
Chris says POISON FROGS ARE AWESOME.
Martin says SO IS CREATURE ART.
RIGHT ROY?
Chris says G...
Koki says BIV.
(laughter)
Now the show turns back to real life.
In the forest, Martin says SO POISON FROGS COME
IN ALL COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
Chris says AND THOSE COLORS ARE
PART OF A VERY COOL DEFENCE.
BRIGHT COLORS CAN BE USEFUL
IN THE CREATURE WORLD
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS,
BUT MANY OF THE MOST
COLORFUL CREATURES
HAPPEN TO BE POISONOUS.
LIKE THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
AND THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY,
WHICH HAS A POWERFUL TOXIN
THAT MAKES PREDATORS SICK.
SO, WHY BE COLORFUL
IF YOU'RE POISONOUS?
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
FAMILY OF POISON FROGS.
LIKE THE THREE-STRIPED
POISON FROG.
POISON FROGS COME IN ALL THESE
COLORFUL PATTERNS BECAUSE
THEY'RE SAYING SOMETHING.
THEY'RE NOT TRYING
TO CAMOUFLAGE,
THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY TO
PREDATORS, "HEY, I'M POISONOUS,
SO BACK OFF.
DON'T MESS WITH ME."
Martin says POISON FROGS, THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF POISON.
THE MORE COLORFUL,
THE MORE POISONOUS.
THIS IS PRATT'S ROCKET
FROG ISN'T COLORFUL,
BUT HE'S STILL
A LITTLE POISONOUS.
JUST NOT AS TOXIC AS
DENDROBATES TINCTORIUS,
THAT COMES IN BRILLIANT
BLUE OR MULTI COLORED,
WITH YELLOW PATTERNS
ON ITS BACK.
AND THEN THERE'S
THE BLUE JEANS FROG.
WHICH KIND OF LOOKS LIKE
IT'S WEARING BLUE JEANS
AND A BRIGHT RED SHIRT.
BUT ONE OF THE MOST TOXIC FROGS
IS THE GOLDEN POISON
FROG FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
IT'S SO TOXIC THAT EVEN
TOUCHING IT COULD BE FATAL.
NOW THIS ONE, IF YOU
TOUCH, YOU'LL GET SICK.
BUT THIS POISON FROG'S
NOT DEADLY TO HUMANS.
BUT THEY HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON,
WHERE THEY GET THEIR POISON.
Chris says THESE FROGS GET THEIR
POISON FROM THE FOOD THEY EAT.
THEY EAT MILLIPEDES,
TERMITES AND ANTS
AND THERE ARE
DIFFERENT CHEMICALS
INSIDE THEIR PREY'S BODY
THAT THEY CONCENTRATE IN
GLANDS UNDERNEATH THEIR SKIN.
THOSE CONCENTRATED CHEMICALS
ARE WHAT PRODUCES THE POISON
IN THIS FROG'S CHEMICAL DEFENCE.
Martin says AND THAT IS AN
AMAZING CREATURE POWER.
Chris says SO, CHECK OUT ALL THE
DIFFERENT KINDS OF POISON FROGS.
Martin says AND PICK OUT
THE SPECIES WITH YOUR
FAVORITE COLORS AND PATTERN.
KEEP ON CREATURE ADVENTURING.
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!
Music plays as the end credits roll.
