Child crying, WHEE!

(Child giggling)

(Music playing)

Ella, an animated girl with curly black hair under a blue helmet with bear ears, runs downstairs holding a rocket ship. She gives the rocket to her little sister, Tilly.

(Giggling)

Singing, COME WITH ME TO THE STARS. THE GALAXY IS OURS! LET'S GO! LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER. INTER-STELLAR! LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR, INTER-STELLAR! LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE.

Ella and her friend, Slippy, fly through space.

Singing, COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY! LOOK UP! INTERSTELLAR ELLA!

Title: TVOKIDS presents, Interstellar Ella.

(Music playing)

Ella and Tilly run through their glass-walled house, chased by their Dad. He holds an inflatable chair. The girls carry large foam stars.

(Playful laughter)

Dad calls, BOUNCY CHAIR IS GONNA GET YOU!

(Laughing)

They run outside to where a large blue spaceship is parked.

Ella and Tilly put the stars in the ship.

Ella says, LEMONADE. FOAM FINGERS. BLANKET... SPACE PROJECTOR? HOW DID THAT GET IN THERE?

Dad says, HUH?

Mom walks over, carrying a backpack. Tilly and Ella float above the ship.

Mom asks, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH STUFF?

Ella says, WE CAN'T FORGET ANYTHING FOR ANNUAL FLARE STAR DAY.

Tilly cries, OH NO! I CAN T GO WITHOUT MY STUFFY-POOH OCTO ALIEN.

Tilly flies off. Mom puts the backpack near Ella.

Ella says, SUNGLASSES, CHECK. THE ORION FLARE STARS WERE SO BRIGHT LAST TIME.

(Music playing)

A flashback shows Ella and her family sitting on the spaceship, all wearing round sunglasses.

Dad calls, INCOMING!

Present-day Dad carries a large beachball. He tosses it into the trunk of the ship and tries to close it.

Mom says, UH OH.

Ella jumps up and down on the trunk to close it.

Dad says, IT'S OKAY. I'VE GOT THIS.

Mom says, THAT IS NOT GOING TO FIT.

Madhu, the blue and green alien, flies over.

Madhu says, HELLO! ELLA, THERE YOU ARE. I NEED YOUR HELP.

Ella says, I'D LOVE TO DO, MADHU, BUT I'M SPENDING THE DAY WITH MY FAMILY.

Madhu says, PLEEEEEASE!? I REALLY NEED YOU. WE HAVE TO HELP ZOBU.

Ella asks, ZOBU?

Madhu says, ZOBU! MY FAVOURITE ASTEROID CHUNK. WE WERE PLAYING TAG ON SATURN'S MOON, HYPERION, AND ZOBU GOT STUCK IN AN EENSY WEENSY HOLE.

Dad jumps on the trunks.

Ella says, HUH? I'D LOVE TO HELP YOU, BUT...

Madhu says, POOR ZOBU. ALL ALONE ON HYPERION. FROZEN.

Mom says, IT'S OKAY IF YOU WANT TO GO PLAY WITH MADHU INSTEAD.

Ella says, NO, I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE FLARE STARS, BUT MAYBE I HAVE TIME FOR BOTH.

The trunk burst open and everything inside floats out.

All cry, WHOA!

Mom says, YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TIME NOW. WHY DON'T YOU MEET US THERE AT TWO O’CLOCK?

Ella says, I'LL BE THERE BEFORE TWO.

(Music playing)

Ella jumps on a circle-shaped moon scooter and flies off with Madhu.

Mom asks, HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU THAT YOU OVERPACKED? YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

Dad says, YUP. YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT.

An icy grey moon is made up of bare dunes and is marked with craters. Saturn hangs in the starry sky above.

Ella says, THIS MOON IS AMAZING. SO MANY CRATERS. IT LOOKS LIKE A SPONGE.

Madhu says, THAT'S WHY ZOBU LIKES IT. HEY, MAYBE YOUR TINY HAND CAN REACH HIM.

Madhu points to a small crater. Inside is a small rock chunk with a smiling face.

Ella reaches into the crater.

(Grunting)

Ella says, SORRY, ZOBU'S TOO FAR BACK. BUT MAYBE...

(Melting)

The crater widens as the ground around it melts.

Madhu says, WHAT A GREAT IDEA. ELLA, THE HEAT FROM YOUR MOON SCOOTER IS MELTING THE ICE.

Ella hovers in her scooter over the crater. She moves away as Madhu reaches into the crater. She pulls out the tiny Zobu.

Madhu cries, ZOBU! I MISSED YOU. YOU WEREN'T TOO COLD, WERE YOU? HERE, I’LL WARM YOU. THANKS, ELLA.

A bubble appears with an image of Ella’s dad inside.

Dad says, HEY ELLA. WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

Ella says, ME TOO. BET I'LL BEAT YOU THERE.

The bubble changes to show Slippy.

Slippy says, ELLA, HURRY! GEM AND ILO HAVE CHALLENGED ME TO A RACE. YOU HAVE TO HELP ME WIN!

Ella says, I CAN’T. I HAVE TO MEET MY FAMILY TO SEE THE FLARE STARS SOON.

Slippy says, COME ON. YOU MUST HAVE TIME FOR ONE QUICK RACE. WE'LL GO SUPER FAST.

Gem says, FORGET IT. SHE'S NOT INTERESTED. SO WE'LL KEEP OUR TITLE AS THE GALAXY'S FASTEST KIDS.

Ella says, I'LL RACE.

Slippy says, YES! YOU'RE THE BEST.

Maggie the computer appears in the shape of a star.

Maggie says, IF YOUR PLAN IS TO MEET YOUR FAMILY AT TWO, I ADVISE YOU TO NOT GO TO THE RACE.

Ella says, SLIPPY NEEDS ME. DON'T WORRY. I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.

Ella flies off.

(Music playing)

Slippy pilots his scooter around a planet. He tags Ella’s scooter, and she zooms off.

Ella cries, WE'RE WINNING, MAGGIE! WE'RE WINNING.

Gem and Ilo speed past her.

Ilo calls, YOU MEAN YOU'RE LOSING?

Ella says, WHAT? HOW?

(Music playing)

Madhu hovers near a finish line banner. Ilo and Gem fly through it on their scooter.

(Ella growls)

Tilly appears in a bubble.

Tilly says, HEY, ELLA, WE'RE ALMOST THERE. DID YOU MAKE IT YET?

Ella says, NOT YET. BUT DON'T WORRY. I'M COMING.

Slippy says, DID YOU SEE THAT? THEY MUST BE CHEATING. WE NEED A REMATCH.

Ella says, BUT I HAVE TO...

Slippy says, JUST ONE MORE RACE? WE CAN'T LET THEM WIN. PLEEEEASE!?

Ella says, FINE. FOR YOU.

Madhu holds Zobu.

Madhu says, OH, THIS IS SO EXCITING.

(Music playing)

Slippy and the twins race side by side.

(Controls beeping)

Slippy speeds ahead and tags Ella.

Ella cries, YEAH! WE'RE GOING TO WIN, HA HA!

Ilo and Gem speed past her.

Ella asks, HUH?

Slippy comes up alongside her scooter.

Ella asks, HOW DO THEY DO THAT? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Maggie says, ELLA, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE FLARE STARS, YOU REALLY SHOULD LEAVE NOW.

Slippy says, YEAH, MAGGIE'S RIGHT. YOU SHOULD GO.

Ilo says, I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE QUITTERS.

Gem asks, BEST THREE OUT OF FIVE?

(Music playing)

Slippy looks at Ella with a pleading expression.

Ella says, FINE. I THINK I CAN STILL MAKE IT

(Music playing)

They race and once again the twins speed past Ella’s scooter. They race again and again.

Gem asks, BEST 10 OUT OF 15?

Ella says, NO WAY. I HAVE TO GO. I CAN'T MISS THE FLARE STARS AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

Maggie says, ACTUALLY, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TIME.

Ella says, ARE YOU SURE? I REALLY THOUGHT I COULD GET THERE BEFORE THEM. THEY'LL BE SO UPSET. I'M UPSET.

Madhu says, OH, I'M UPSET, TOO. I MADE YOU HELP ME.

Slippy says, AND I FORCED YOU TO RACE A BUNCH OF TIMES.

Ella says, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. I WANTED TO HELP BOTH OF YOU. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT WHEN MAGGIE TOLD ME.

Madhu says, BUT YOU HELPED US. NOW WE'LL HELP YOU.

Ella says, IT'S TOO LATE NOW. I'LL NEVER GET THERE IN TIME.

Gem says, ACTUALLY, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.

Ella asks, REALLY?

Gem asks, BUT WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?

Ella says, HELPING A FRIEND OUT?

Gem and Ilo look at each other. They lean their heads together to whisper.

(Music playing)

Gem says, FINE. FINE. WE'LL HELP YOU GET TO YOUR STAR THINGY.

Madhu says, FLARE STAR THING.

Ilo says, WHATEVER. IT'S THE GRAVITY SLINGSHOT. IT CAN GET YOU TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO LIKE, REALLY FAST.

(Music playing)

Gem and Ilo fly their scooter around a moon. They speed off as they make the turn around it.

Slippy says, I KNEW THEY HAD TO BE CHEATING. NOBODY COULD WIN EVERY RACE.

Maggie says, TECHNICALLY, IF THEY ARE GETTING A BOOST FROM AN OBJECT'S GRAVITY, THEY ARE NOT CHEATING. A GRAVITY SLINGSHOT IS WHEN YOU USE THE PULL OF A PLANET OR MOON'S GRAVITY TO GAIN SPEED. THE BIGGER THE PLANET OR MOON, THE BIGGER THE GRAVITY SLINGSHOT EFFECT.

Ella asks, WHOA! SO I CAN REACH MY FAMILY SUPER EXTRA FAST AND STILL SEE THE FLARE STARS?

(Music playing)

A cluster of stars shine brightly. Mom, Dad and Tilly sit on top of their ship, wearing sunglasses.

Mom asks, WHERE IS ELLA? SHE SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW.

(Music playing)

Maggie says, YOU MUST DO THIS JUST RIGHT. TOO CLOSE AND YOU WILL HIT THE SURFACE. TOO FAR AND YOU WILL NOT GAIN ENOUGH SPEED.

Ilo says, LIKE THIS.

(Music playing)

The twins speed around a fiery moon.

Ella says, THAT WAS INTERSTELLAR! MY TURN.

Ella flies toward the moon.

Maggie says, WAIT. YOU SHOULD FIRST--

Ella cries, WHOA!

The scooter speeds up as it flies around the moon. She stops near the twins.

Ilo asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK? COOL, RIGHT?

Ella says, BETTER THAN COOL. BUT I DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.

Madhu and Slippy fly past them.

Slippy shouts, WHOA!

Ella asks, HEY! YOU SAID BEFORE THE BIGGER THE MOON THE FARTHER I CAN GO, RIGHT?

Maggie says, YES, BUT--

Ella says, WELL, GANYMEDE IS THE BIGGEST OF JUPITER'S MOONS. LET'S GO.

(Music playing)

Maggie says, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL. IF YOU DO NOT GET IT RIGHT, YOU MIGHT END UP OVER-SHOOTING YOUR TARGET DESTINATION AND GO TOO FAR.

Ella says, I PROMISED MY PARENTS I'D BE THERE. AND I'M NOT BREAKING THAT PROMISE.

(Music playing)

Ella flies around the moon. Madhu and Slippy follow her.

Ella cries, WHA-HOO!

Slippy and Ella shout, WOW!

They speed up around the moon.

Ella cries, THIS IS AMAZING!

They fly past smaller objects.

Madhu says, I'M LIKE A ROCKET SHIP. OH, SCRAP METAL. A BOLT! WAS THAT A BOOT?

Slippy asks, WHOA, IS THAT A FLARE STAR?

Ella shouts, WE MADE IT, YAHOO!

They fly towards an asteroid.

Slippy cries, LOOK OUT!

They dodge the asteroid.

All cry, WHOA!

Ella, Slippy and Madhu tumble through space. They fly above the flare stars.

(Ella sighing)

Mom appears in a bubble.

Ella says, MOM. DAD, I REALLY TRIED TO MAKE IT TO THE FLARE STARS. BUT I CAN'T. I'M SO SORRY.

Mom says, IT'S OKAY, ELLA. IT HAPPENS. WE'LL MEET YOU BACK AT HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OKAY?

Ella says, OKAY. I'LL HURRY HOME.

(Music playing)

Ella looks sad.

Her home floats in space. The family’s ship lands outside the house and her family gets out. Ella walks toward them.

Dad says, ELLA PROPELLA.

Mom says, THAT WAS FAST.

Tilly says, YOU MISSED ALL THE FLARE STARS. THERE WERE SO MANY, ELLA! STUFFY-POOH OCTO ALIEN LOVED THEM.

Ella looks dejected. Mom hugs her.

Mom says, COME ON, ELLA.

(Music playing)

Mom sits on a couch and Ella rests her head on Mom’s lap.

Ella says, I GUESS I GOT CARRIED AWAY. I THOUGHT I COULD HELP MY FRIENDS AND MAKE IT TO THE FLARE STARS IN TIME.

Mom says, THINGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO. AND THERE'LL BE OTHER FLARE STARS. MAYBE SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

Mom and Ella walk outside.

Ella says, FLARE STARS! HERE. HOW?

Stars are projected on floating balloons from the second storey of the house.

(Music playing)

Slippy calls, WE WANTED TO RECREATE THE FLASH STARS FOR YOU. SINCE WE MADE YOU MISS SEEING THE REAL ONES.

Madhu says, AND ZUBU LOVES THEM, TOO.

Ella says, GUYS, YOU'RE THE BEST.

Ella smiles.

(Music playing)

Singing, COME WITH ME TO THE STARS. THE GALAXY IS OURS! LET'S GO! LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER. INTER-STELLAR! LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR, INTER-STELLAR! LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE. COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY! LOOK UP! INTERSTELLAR ELLA!
