8 year old Ella, who has curly black hair, runs down a staircase with a toy rocket ship. She wears a teal space suit, and a helmet with animal ears.
[Giggling]
Ella runs into a living room and gives her little sister the rocket ship.
[Upbeat music plays]
A singer sings, COME WITH ME, TO THE STARS.
Ella’s mom picks up Ella’s little sister and smiles as Ella runs outside. Outside the house, in outer space, Ella runs past her dad.
The singer sings, THE GALAXY IS OURS!
Ella waves to her dad.
She says, BYE DAD!
Ella jumps onto her moon scooter, a circular spacecraft, and takes off.
People say, LET'S GO!
The singer sings, LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER.
INTER-STELLAR.
Ella flies over a planet with Madhu, a blue and green alien, and Slippy, a boy with black hair who flies a red spacecraft.
The signer sings, LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR.
INTER-STELLAR.
Ella flies on Madhu.
The singer sings, LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE.
Ella and Slippy explore a planet together with Maggie, a blue star. Elsewhere in space, Slippy and Madhu look startled.
They say, WOAH!
They dodge Ella and her moon scooter.
The singer sings, COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY!
Ella and her family sit on a spacecraft.
The singer sings, LOOK UP!
INTERSTELLAR ELLA.
Ella, her family, and her friends admire a giant colourful cloud together.
TVOKids Presents, Interstellar Ella.
[Soft music plays]
[Upbeat music plays]
On a small moon with a smooth surface, Ella skates across in her space boots. She wears her helmet visor over her eyes as she guides a hockey puck across the surface with a hockey stick. In a hockey net, Madhu wears goalie gear. Slippy skates across the surface with his own hockey stick.
He says, I'M OPEN!
Ella slides the puck over to Slippy. Slippy glides toward the net, but a rock is in his path. His eyes widen and he leaps over the rock.
Slippy says, OOF!
[Groaning]
Slippy slides to a stop.
Ella says, WHOA, SLIPPY
ARE YOU OKAY?
She checks on her friend.
She asks, WHAT HAPPENED?
Slippy says, I ALMOST TRIPPED ON THAT ROCK.
Maggie says, WE'RE ON EUROPA,
A MOON OF JUPITER THAT
IS COMPLETELY COVERED IN ICE.
SO THAT ROCK YOU ALMOST TRIPPED
OVER IS NO ORDINARY ROCK.
Ella asks, WHAT IS IT, THEN?
Maggie says, A CHUNK OF ASTEROID THAT
CRASHED HERE.
ALL OF THE ROCKS ON
THIS MOON ARE.
Madhu calls out, HEY!
ARE WE STILL PLAYING?
[Upbeat music plays]
Slippy skates away from the chunk of asteroid with the puck. He passes the puck to Ella. Ella hits the puck and it flies through the air toward Madhu and the net. Madhu looks scared, and throws up their hands, blocking the puck.
[Ella laughing]
The puck bounces off Madhu’s gear and off multiple asteroid chunks.
Ella says, MADHU,
YOU'RE A NATURAL.
The hockey puck flies toward Ella.
Ella says, WHOA!
She leans backward, away from the puck, and throws her arm up. The puck hits her watch as it flies over her. Madhu drops their hockey stick and flies toward Ella.
Madhu asks, ARE YOU OKAY, ELLA?
Slippy joins Ella and Madhu.
Ella says, PHEW.
YEAH, I AM.
She presses a button on her watch.
She says, MAGGIE, YOU?
Maggie appears, but flickers and glitches.
[Static]
Ella says, MAGGIE?
MAGGIE?
[Static]
Ella looks worried as she looks at the glitching Maggie. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ella’s dad stands by a worktable beside the Ryder family spacecraft. He examines Maggie.
Dad says, I'M GLAD YOU FOUND ME OUT HERE.
I WAS JUST WORKING ON THE MUSEUM
AND CLEANING UP A BIT.
He gestures to a large pile of rubble. On the worktable, Maggie glitches.
[Glitching static]
Ella says, PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN FIX HER.
Dad says, ABSOLUTELY.
He gives Ella a thumbs up, and she smiles.
Dad says, PROBABLY...
Ella frowns.
Dad says, IN THEORY.
He shrugs.
[Glitching static]
Ella, Madhu and Slippy glance at Maggie. They look worried.
Dad says, MAGGIE'S POWER CIRCUITS
ARE FRIED.
I CAN FUSE THEM BACK TOGETHER,
BUT I'LL NEED A SHINY METAL
CALLED PALLADIUM.
IT'S QUITE RARE.
Ella says, I'LL GO GET IT.
She starts to leave.
Slippy counts, THREE, TWO, ONE.
Ella returns.
She says, OKAY, SO WHERE CAN I
FIND PALLADIUM?
Dad says, IN VERY SPECIFIC ASTEROIDS, SOME
OF THE LARGE ROCKS CAN BE
CRACKED OPEN LIKE AN EGG.
SOME CONTAIN NOTHING,
BUT SOME CONTAIN GEMS OR METALS
LIKE PALLADIUM.
Maggie shows an egg cracking and a chicken appearing.
[Clucking over static]
Dad looks worried.
He says, I THINK YOU'D BETTER HURRY.
NORMALLY, I PROGRAMMED MAGGIE
WITH A STAR CHART BUT...
He opens a paper map.
Slippy says, OOH! REAL PAPER! ASTRONOMICAL!
Dad orders, PROJECT A LIVE MAP OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM.
Maggie displays a large map of the solar system.
Ella says, WOAH.
Dad says, YOU MIGHT FIND PALLADIUM
HERE OR HERE.
He marks two spots on the paper map.
Dad says, THE ASTEROIDS SHOULD HAVE
A RUSTY ORANGE COLOR.
AND YOU'LL KNOW IT'S PALLADIUM
INSIDE IF IT'S SUPER SHINY
LIKE THIS.
He points to an asteroid on the solar system map.
He says, SINCE MAGGIE WILL BE
STAYING WITH ME…
He gives Ella the paper map.
He adds, …BE CAREFUL.
[Maggie glitching]
Dad says, AND I'M A COMBUBBLE AWAY
IF YOU NEED ME.
Ella says, WE LL BE BACK IN A
JIFFY, MAGGIE.
She hops onto her moon scooter and flies away with Madhu. Slippy furrows his brow. He turns and looks at the pile of rubble. He looks thoughtful, and smiles. He turns around.
He says, WAIT UP!
[Cheerful music plays]
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ella says, INTERSTELLAR!
SLIPPY,
THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME
TOOL YOU'VE EVER MADE!
Slippy pulls a drill-like tool with his space racer.
He says, I CALL IT THE
PALLADIUM EXTRACTOR.
NO WAIT.
THE SPARKLING STICK.
NO WAIT…
He furrows his brow.
Madhu says, THE MAGGIE SAVER?
Slippy says, THE MAGGIE SAVER!
COOL.
He smiles. The friends continue through space together. The glide over a sea of rocks. Ella looks at her map.
She says, GUYS,
I THINK THAT I CAN ACTUALLY READ
A PAPER MAP!
WE'RE RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
Slippy says, DIDN'T YOUR DAD SAY WE HAVE TO
LOOK FOR A RUSTY
ORANGE ASTEROID?
Within the sea of rocks, an orange rock sparkles.
Together, the friends say, WHOA!
Ella says, TIME TO GET SOME PALLADIUM,
FOLLOW ME.
The friends hover over the orange rock. Slippy jumps off his racer. He slowly lowers to the rock. He uses his boot thruster as he gets closer, then stops, but remains floating.
Slippy says, THE GRAVITY IS SO WEAK HERE.
His feet don’t touch the rock. Slippy taps a command on his suit.
[Beeping]
Slippy drops onto the rock. He gives a thumbs up.
Ella says, OKAY. SLIPPY SECURE.
HERE'S THE MAGGIE SAVER,
CATCH!
She drops the Maggie Saver down to Slippy.
Ella says, DUST SHIELDS ON EVERYONE!
She and Slippy tap commands on their suits.
[Beeping]
Madhu pats their chest.
[Madhu giggling]
Slippy presses a button on the Maggie Saver, and starts to drill into the orange rock.
Slippy cheers, IT WORKS!
[Drilling]
Dust billows around the drill.
Slippy says, I MEAN, OF COURSE IT WORKS.
Ella cheers, YAY!
She high-fives Madhu.
[Cheering]
Slippy says, GOOD THING ARE SHIELD PROTECTS
FOR ALL THIS DUST.
Madhu says, I LIKE THE DUST.
LOOK, THAT CLOUD LOOKS
LIKE TILLY!
Madhu points to a dust cloud.
Ella says, OH, YES.
AND THAT ONE LOOKS LIKE...
Madhu interrupts and says, A GIANT ASTEROID!
Ella says, HMMM, MAYBE A BIT.
Madhu says, NO, OVER THERE!
An asteroid flies toward the friends.
Madhu says, SLIPPY, WATCH OUT FOR
THAT ASTEROID!
Slippy says, ASTEROID? WHERE?
Ella says, JUST GET OUT OF THERE!
[Dramatic music plays]
Slippy’s boots are stuck to the orange rock.
Madhu says, FASTER SLIPPY!
[Slippy grunting]
Slippy taps multiple commands on his space suit.
[Beeping]
Slippy floats up off the orange rock. His blasters lift him higher as his space racer zooms under him. He drops onto his racer as the asteroid quickly approaches.
The friends yell, WHOA!
The asteroid crashes into the orange rock, cracking it into pieces. The friends dodge the flying debris and escape into open space. They watch the floating pieces.
The friends say, WOAH.
Madhu asks, IS EVERYBODY OKAY?
Slippy says, I AM, ELLA?
Ella says, I'M GOOD, PHEW.
BUT MAGGIE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE
WARNED US THAT COULD HAPPENED.
WE SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL.
Dad appears in a communication bubble, a combubble.
He says, HEY ELLA!
HOW'S IT GOING?
He looks nervous.
Ella says, HI, DAD.
WE DON'T HAVE THE PALLADIUM YET,
BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
Dad says, OKAY, WELL, I HOPE YOU
FIND IT SOON,
BECAUSE IF MAGGIE IS WITHOUT
POWER FOR TOO LONG,
SHE WILL UM, LOSE HER MEMORY.
Ella says, WAIT, WHAT?
Dad says, DON'T WORRY.
MAGGIE WILL BE FINE.
EVERYTHING IS...CHILL.
CHILL LIKE A...WINDMILL.
His combubble pops.
Slippy says, IS YOUR DAD OKAY?
Ella says, NO. WHEN HE MAKES WEIRD RHYMES,
HE'S FREAKING OUT.
AND WHEN HE'S FREAKING OUT, I'M
FREAKING OUT.
MAGGIE COULD LOSE HER MEMORY
AT ANY MOMENT.
Madhu says, DON'T WORRY, ELLA.
WE'LL FIND MORE PALLADIUM.
Slippy says, YOUR DAD'S MAP HAS ONE MORE
ASTEROID MARKED ON IT.
Ella says, THEN LET'S GO.
MAGGIE'S COUNTING ON US!
The friends fly over the sea of rocks. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ella stands on an orange rock, and drops the Maggie Saver drill onto it.
She says, OKAY.
I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS A TRY.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON
THE LOOKOUT, RIGHT?
Madhu says, SO FAR, THERE ARE NO ASTEROIDS
FLYING TOWARD US AT LIGHTNING
SPEED!
Ella presses the start button on the Maggie Saver, and starts drilling into the orange rock.
[Drilling]
Ella says, THE MAGGIE SAVER WORKS
GREAT SLIPPY.
I'M GOING SUPER FAST!
The rock cracks and pieces flies off.
Slippy says, WHOA!
He dodges a piece of rock.
He says, PHEW, I CAN SEE THAT.
[Uplifting music plays]
Ella continues drilling. Slippy waves dust away from his face.
Ella says, IS THAT PALLADIUM?
Slippy says, ELLA, YOU DID IT!
THAT'S PALLADIUM!
Grey rock is under neath the asteroid’s orange layer.
Ella says, WOW!
Madhu says, OOH, SHINY!
The palladium shines.
Ella says, HELP IS ON THE WAY, MAGGIE.
[Upbeat music plays]
Ella zooms through the galaxy with the palladium asteroid. Slippy flies beside her. Ella looks determined.
Slippy says, ELLA, SLOW DOWN!
He and Madhu dodge asteroids.
Slippy says, YOU DON'T WANT TO...LOOK OUT!
Ella swerves and dodges an asteroid.
She says, I CAN'T SLOW DOWN.
WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO
MAGGIE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Ella looks focused. She tries to swerve around another asteroid.
She says, NO! THE PALLADIUM!
The cable connected to the palladium snaps off if Ella’s moon scooter and heads toward a planet.
Ella says, IT'LL BURN UP IN MARS'
ATMOSPHERE.
[Dramatic music plays]
The friends race after the palladium. Slippy and Ella launch their grappler’s toward the asteroid but they just miss. Madhu looks determined and stretches their arms toward the asteroid but also misses. The asteroid gets closer to Mars.
Ella says, IT'S BEING PULLED IN BY MARS'
GRAVITY AND BURNING UP!
The friends come to a stop.
Madhu says, BUT THEN WE CAN’T USE
IT TO SAVE MAGGIE!
The palladium asteroid burns in Mars’ atmosphere.
Slippy sadly says, IT'S GONE.
MAGGIE WILL ACTUALLY
LOSE HER MEMORY,
Madhu says, BUT I DON'T WANT HER TO FORGET
ABOUT OUR ADVENTURES.
LIKE ABOUT THE FIRST TIME WE
WENT TO MARS, OR THAT TIME
SLIPPY GOT LOST ON THE MOON OR…
Madhu continues reminiscing as Ella turns and looks at Slippy.
Ella says, WE HAVE TO FIND MORE PALLADIUM.
WE HAVE TO FIND MORE PALLADIUM.
Slippy says, BUT ELLA, THERE ARE ONLY TWO
ASTEROIDS NEARBY WITH PALLADIUM
AND WE CHECKED THEM BOTH.
Ella looks sad.
Madhu continues, ...OR THIS MORNING, WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT HOCKEY,
AND SLIPPY ALMOST TRIPPED
OVER THAT ROCK.
Ella says, WAIT, THOSE WEREN'T
ORDINARY ROCKS.
MAGGIE TOLD US
THOSE ARE PIECES OF ASTEROIDS.
Slippy says, ASTEROIDS THAT COULD HAVE
PALLADIUM IN THEM!
Madhu says, OH, YES!
Madhu turns and flies away.
Madhu says, TO EUROPA!
Ella and Slippy follow. On Europa, they scan the surface. Ella bumps her moon scooter against a piece of asteroid in the ice. It cracks, but reveals no palladium.
[Ella groaning]
Ella says, I FORGOT HOW BIG MOONS ARE.
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER.
Slippy looks thoughtful.
He says, WAIT.
PALLADIUM IS SHINY RIGHT?
He flies higher and shines a light from his space racer onto the asteroid piece.
Ella says, SO WE CAN FIND IT WITH LIGHT!
SLIPPY YOU’RE A GENIUS.
Slippy says, I WOULDN'T SAY GENIUS…
He smiles. Ella flies higher and shines a light from her moon scooter.
[Upbeat music plays]
Madhu says, OOH!
Madhu flies alongside the friends as they search for more asteroid pieces. One of their lights shines on a piece and it sparkles.
Slippy says, THERE!
Ella says, WE DID IT!
OKAY, LET'S GET THIS BACK TO DAD
SAFELY THIS TIME.
The palladium inside the asteroid piece sparkles. At Dad’s worktable, Dad wears a welders mask.
He says, STAND BACK, EVERYONE!
He takes out a screwdriver and furrows his brow. Slippy hands Dad a welding torch.
[Torch sizzling]
Dad steps back from the table.
He says, I'M DONE.
READY?
Ella holds Madu’s hand. She smiles, and lets go.
Ella says, READY.
She takes her watch from her dad and puts it on. Maggie appears.
She says, ELLA!
LOOK OUT FOR THE...
Maggie looks around.
She says, …PUCK?
WHERE AM I?
[Cheering]
Madhu says, MAGGIE, YOU WERE FLICKERING.
Ella says, AND DAD WAS LIKE…
In a deep voice, Ella says, …GO GET SOME PALLADIUM.
Slippy says, AND WE ONLY HAD A PAPER MAP,
BUT WE FIGURED IT OUT.
Maggie says, I AM CONFUSED.
YOU USED A PAPER MAP?
Slippy says, YEAH. IT WAS ACTUALLY
PRETTY COOL.
Ella says, I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK.
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.
Madhu hugs Ella and Slippy with Maggie in the middle.
Madhu and Slippy say, ME TOO.
The friends all smile.
Slippy says, I STILL THINK THE
PAPER MAP WAS PRETTY COOL.

Madhu continues reminiscing as Ella turns and looks at Slippy.
Ella says, WE HAVE TO FIND MORE PALLADIUM.
WE HAVE TO FIND MORE PALLADIUM.
Slippy says, BUT ELLA, THERE ARE ONLY TWO
ASTEROIDS NEARBY WITH PALLADIUM
AND WE CHECKED THEM BOTH.
Ella looks sad.
Madhu continues, ...OR THIS MORNING, WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT HOCKEY,
AND SLIPPY ALMOST TRIPPED
OVER THAT ROCK.
Ella says, WAIT, THOSE WEREN'T
ORDINARY ROCKS.
MAGGIE TOLD US
THOSE ARE PIECES OF ASTEROIDS.
Slippy says, ASTEROIDS THAT COULD HAVE
PALLADIUM IN THEM!
Madhu says, OH, YES!
Madhu turns and flies away.
Madhu says, TO EUROPA!
Ella and Slippy follow. On Europa, they scan the surface. Ella bumps her moon scooter against a piece of asteroid in the ice. It cracks, but reveals no palladium.
[Ella groaning]
Ella says, I FORGOT HOW BIG MOONS ARE.
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER.
Slippy looks thoughtful.
He says, WAIT.
PALLADIUM IS SHINY RIGHT?
He flies higher and shines a light from his space racer onto the asteroid piece.
Ella says, SO WE CAN FIND IT WITH LIGHT!
SLIPPY YOU’RE A GENIUS.
Slippy says, I WOULDN'T SAY GENIUS…
He smiles. Ella flies higher and shines a light from her moon scooter.
[Upbeat music plays]
Madhu says, OOH!
Madhu flies alongside the friends as they search for more asteroid pieces. One of their lights shines on a piece and it sparkles.
Slippy says, THERE!
Ella says, WE DID IT!
OKAY, LET'S GET THIS BACK TO DAD
SAFELY THIS TIME.
The palladium inside the asteroid piece sparkles. At Dad’s worktable, Dad wears a welders mask.
He says, STAND BACK, EVERYONE!
He takes out a screwdriver and furrows his brow. Slippy hands Dad a welding torch.
[Torch sizzling]
Dad steps back from the table.
He says, I'M DONE.
READY?
Ella holds Madu’s hand. She smiles, and lets go.
Ella says, READY.
She takes her watch from her dad and puts it on. Maggie appears.
She says, ELLA!
LOOK OUT FOR THE...
Maggie looks around.
She says, …PUCK?
WHERE AM I?
[Cheering]
Madhu says, MAGGIE, YOU WERE FLICKERING.
Ella says, AND DAD WAS LIKE…
In a deep voice, Ella says, …GO GET SOME PALLADIUM.
Slippy says, AND WE ONLY HAD A PAPER MAP,
BUT WE FIGURED IT OUT.
Maggie says, I AM CONFUSED.
YOU USED A PAPER MAP?
Slippy says, YEAH. IT WAS ACTUALLY
PRETTY COOL.
Ella says, I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK.
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.
Madhu hugs Ella and Slippy with Maggie in the middle.
Madhu and Slippy say, ME TOO.
The friends all smile.
Slippy says, I STILL THINK THE
PAPER MAP WAS PRETTY COOL.
[Laughing]
