[Children laugh]

DESCRIPTION: On the playroom floor, Marco and Lila kneel in front of a cardboard theatre, with red curtains and Woollys drawn on it in crayon. On the blue wall behind the theatre is a sun, clouds, and a tree made out of clay. In front of the theatre are cups and play-dough. Lila shows Marco a small, pink, and gold ring on her finger.

LILA: Marco! Look at the old ring Mom just gave me. See how it shines? I'm gonna store it in a pretty box.

DESCRIPTION: Lila puts the ring in a cup.

MARCO: Why don't you keep it on your finger?

LILA: I want to keep it pretty!

MARCO: But why keep it pretty if nobody can see it?

DESCRIPTION: Lila moves away the play-dough and the cups and puts the Woollys in a pile.

LILA: Huh... Let me explain with a Woolly story. We'll need Choochoo, Beebee...

MARCO: Some Woonicorns, because they love pretty things.

DESCRIPTION: Marco adds the Woonicorns to the pile.

LILA: Yes! And a Wowiewoo, to make our story a little more WOO!

DESCRIPTION: Lila takes the cardboard theatre and sets it on top of the pile of Woollys. The red curtains open, transporting the Woollys into Woollywood, an imaginary, whimsical world made entirely of wool. A knitted green landscape features a collection of knitted trees, and a hedgehog sits peacefully.

LILA: Choochoo was practicing for a dance recital with Beebee, Nadege and Virginia…

DESCRIPTION: In the trees, ChooChoo is dressed in a pink tutu, with a white swan head on top of his head. He prances around. A spotlight stops on him. BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia – all in matching swan outfits– dance in a line.

[Classical music]

CHOOCHOO: Ok everyone, one and two, and one…

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo trips over the hedgehog and flies into a pile of white fluff.

CHOOCHOO: Woah! Oh! Thank goodness I landed on something soft! Oh!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo emerges from the pile of white fluff wearing a big, fluffy, golden tutu.

CHOOCHOO: What is this strange Wowie thingy? A beautiful tutu! What style! What elegance! Look at what I have found! The most perfect of perfect tutus!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo dances around BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia. Wherever ChooChoo dances, he leaves a trail of sparkles.

ALL: OH!

BEEBEE: Wow, Choochoo! That's mega sparkly.

NADEGE: It's going to be so awesome for our dance recital!

VIRGINIA: And, it's giving us all sparkles!

DESCRIPTION: Virginia flies down and rubs herself on the ground where ChooChoo’s sparkles have fallen.

CHOOCHOO: What? Ooh-lala, the sparkles are coming off!

BEEBEE: Maybe you should dance really gently?

NADEGE: Yeah, super gently.

CHOOCHOO: You mean like… this?

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo dances softly. He stops often to check if any sparkles have fallen.

[Classical music]

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo begins to dance faster and harder, and as he does, he smiles more and more. Sparkles fall off.

CHOOCHOO: No, no, no, this will not do! I am "tutu" passionate when it comes to dancing! Tutu, I must keep you safe until I find a solution!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo runs away. Sparkles on the ground surround Nadege, Virginia, and BeeBee.

VIRGINIA: More sparkles!

DESCRIPTION: Later that day, ChooChoo runs back home.

[Panting]

CHOOCHOO: I hope my tutu will be safe at home! You will be perfectly safe up here!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo goes to his roof and puts the tutu around a windmill.

CHOOCHOO: Ooh-lala, I am sorry, tutu!

[Chirping]

DESCRIPTION: Suddenly, three birds land in the tutu and peck at the sparkles.

CHOOCHOO: Hey birds! That is not a nest!

[Chirping]

DESCRIPTION: The birds do not stop.

CHOOCHOO: Hey! I said that is not a nest! Shoo! Shoo! Arg! Is there no place I can keep my beautiful tutu safe?

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo puts the tutu back on and runs out the front door. He is leaving a trail of sparkles wherever he goes.

DESCRIPTION: Back in the forest, the hedgehog, Woonicorns, and BeeBee are practicing their ballet routine. BeeBee is running around looking for something.

[Classical music]

VIRGINIGA: Come on, move! Let's keep practicing! La, la, la, la!

BEEBEE: We can't dance, we need Choochoo!

NADEGE: Yeah. really, I wonder what he's doing!

BEEBEE: He said he was going to his place. Let's go get him!

DESCRIPTION: Nadege, Virginia, and BeeBee go to ChooChoo’s house and stand at the front door.

BEEBEE: Choochoo! Choochoo!

DESCRIPTION: Virginia looks down at the sparkles and rubs herself on the ground, covering herself in them.

VIRGINIA: Ha! Looks like he isn't here… But he was here! Look! Sparkles! Oh! Oh!

BEEBEE: Where could he be now?

NADEGE: I know! We just have to follow the sparkles!

DESCRIPTION: Nadege, Virginia, and BeeBee go inside ChooChoo’s house and up to the roof, following the trail of sparkles. Virginia picks up all the sparkles.

[Classical music]

DESCRIPTION: A little while later, ChooChoo runs up to a cactus. He hides the tutu behind it.

[Panting]

CHOOCHOO: Nobody will find you here!

DESCRIPTION: Suddenly, a llama pokes its head out from behind the cactus. He is wearing the tutu! He starts to eat it. ChooChoo chases the llama.

CHOOCHOO: No, no, no! Tutus are absolutely not good to eat!

[llama huffs]

DESCRIPTION: In a montage, ChooChoo looks for better places to hide his tutu. He tries to hide the tutu in a corn field, but a cow runs away with it. He tries to hide the tutu in a carrot field, but a family of bunnies pops into it. Finally, he finds a tall mushroom in the forest.

CHOOCHOO: Mmm… I need to find a place that is higher! Oh! This will be perfect!

DESCRIPTION: The hedgehog starts to eat the tutu. ChooChoo frowns and takes back the tutu.

CHOOCHOO: Ooh-lala, everyone wants a piece of my tutu!

[Classical music]

DESCRIPTION: BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia continue to look for ChooChoo. They follow the path of sparkles, making a loop around the hedgehog with the swan costume on his head. Virginia is covered in sparkles; she is starting to lose her own!

BEEBEE: Luckily, that tutu loses lots of sparkles...

NADEGE: Oh, we've been looking for such a long time!

VIRGINIA: Wow! Look at that…

DESCRIPTION: Virginia looks at the same hedgehog they just passed.

BEEBEE: Mmm... These sparkles just keep going and going... Oh!

DESCRIPTION: BeeBee bumps into the hedgehog and falls over.

NADEGE: Uh-oh… Looks like we've been following our own sparkles all this time!

[Classical music]

DESCRIPTION: Later that day, ChooChoo runs up to a pond. He hops on a swan and floats down the stream with the tutu.

CHOOCHOO: Ah! It has not been easy to find a safe place for you, my tu… Oh my!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo approaches an extremely tall reed. He runs up it.

CHOOCHOO: That reed is very, very tall…

DESCRIPTION: BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia walk past the pond.

NADEGE: I sure hope we're following the right trail this time.

BEEBEE: We gotta find Choochoo. Our dance recital won't be super amazing without him...

DESCRIPTION: At the top of the tall reed, ChooChoo steps onto a neighboring reed.

CHOOCHOO: No one will bother you here, little tutu.

DESCRIPTION: The tall reed snaps back and hits BeeBee, Virginia, and Nadege. Their swan costumes fly off their heads and onto some frogs.

[Screaming]

BEEBEE: Oh no!

NADEGE AND VIRGINIA: OUR HATS! Our dance recital will be totally ruined! Totally! Totally!

DESCRIPTION: BeeBee takes a reed and tries to reach for their swan hats. The reed isn’t tall enough.

BEEBEE: Almost got it...

[Grunting]

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo stands at the top of a reed.

CHOOCHOO: Nice view up here, right, tutu?

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo looks down to see BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia trying to reach their hats.

CHOOCHOO: Oh no… Uh?

VIRGINIA: Here, try with this one!

CHOOCHOO: My friends! And they sound like they have a problem! I am coming, friends! Beebee! Virginia! Nadege!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo runs down the reed and over to his friends.

BeeBee: Choochoo! We found you!

NADEGE AND VIRGINIA: Looks more like he found us! Hey! What about our fancy hats? We totally can't dance without them… Totally! Totally!

DESCRIPTION: Just then, the hedgehog with the swan hat floats by on a lilypad.

CHOOCHOO: I think I have an idea!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo attaches a string to his tutu and tosses the tutu around the lilypad. He pulls it to shore.

[Panting]

BEEBEE: Our hats! Yippee!!! Haha! Wow, thank you, Choochoo!

NADEGE: You're our bestest pal!

VIRGINIA: The very bestest!

BEEBEE: Choochoo, your tutu! It's all wet and it has lost so many sparkles...

CHOOCHOO: Ooh-lala…

DESCRIPTION: A little while later, Nadege and Virginia place the tutu at the top of a tall flower.

NADEGE: There. It's gonna dry very fast…

DESCRIPTION: Virginia shakes all her sparkles out onto the tutu.

VIRGINIA: And it's gonna be very shiny.

LILA: Luckily, Choochoo had very helpful friends! Haha!

NADEGE: Wow! Super sparkly!

DESCRIPTION: ChooChoo, BeeBee, Nadege, and Virginia begin to dance.

CHOOCHOO: Okay, everyone, it is time to dance! One and two, and one and two!

[Classical music]

[Laughs]

The red curtains close on the cardboard theatre. In the playroom, Lila and Marco clean up all the toys.

LILA: You're right, Marco. It would be a shame to keep this beautiful ring in a box...

MARCO: Your ring can also be a crown!

DESCRIPTION: Marco puts the crown on ChooChoo’s head.

LILA: Yes! For Choochoo, the king hat rescuer!
