Transcript: The Stinky Shrinky Flower
[Bright, upbeat theme music plays]
A group of singers sing, MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS
In a shower of sparkles, a magical Wooden Spoon pops out of a star-covered, blue Magical Mixing Box on red wheels. Three friends, Pockets, Giggle, and Spin, are accompanied by their guinea pig, Roller Guinea, and their guide dog, Yapette.
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, MIX, MIX, THE MIXMUPS.
Giggle has orange and yellow fur and cat ears. Pockets has bear ears, blue fur with red pockets, and red glasses, with stars on the frames. Spin has red fur and bunny ears and has two yellow antennas.
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS
Roller Guinea has light brown fur and is wearing red roller skates, and Yapette has brown fur, a white and red polka dot harness, and a red nose. The light-up Wooden Spoon swirls up sparkles around the Magical Mixing Box.
The singers sing, OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH
Pockets, Giggle, and Spin all wave. Confetti sparkles all around them. Text reads, “Mixmups.” Stars surround the text, and the Wooden Spoon replaces the “i” in “Mixmups.”
The singers sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE
In Mixington Valley, Pockets, Giggle, and Spin all stand around the Magical Mixing Box. Mixington Valley is a magical land with rolling valleys behind a red and white striped house, featuring a slide and an accessible blue and yellow swing set.
The singers sing, MIX IT, TWIRL IT, WHIRL IT, HEY
Over the hilltop is Lucky Loover Bird, she is fuzzy and gray, wears red shoes, and she has a long trunk. Lucky Loover Bird swirls magic out of her trunk that lights up the Wooden Spoon in Spin’s hand.
The singers sing, TIME FOR SOME MAGIC, ADVENTURE AND PLAY
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Magical sparkles swirl around the three friends. They float into the air and disappear into the Magical Mixing Box.
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS.
Pockets, Giggle, and Spin are transported to an imaginary world. In a montage of their adventures, they are spinning on a tea cup ride, and then they are in an autumn forest. In the forest, Giggle uses a blue and orange wheelchair. Pockets runs behind them, holding Yapette’s harness handle, along with Spin, who is also running.
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, MIX, MIX, THE MIXMUPS
The montage continues with the three friends baking cakes in a kitchen, charting a pirate ship, and playing an electric guitar.
The singers sing, MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS
The singers sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC, MIX UP THE MAGIC
Giggle, Spin, Pockets, are accompanied by Yapette, Roller Guinea, and Lucky Loover Bird in a burst of confetti. They all wave and smile. Title: “Mixmups.” Stars surround the title, and the Wooden Spoon replaces the “i” in “Mixmups.”
The singers sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC WITH THE MIXMUPS
The theme song and introduction end.
Two smiling clouds overlook Mixington Valley.
The first cloud says, HMM.
The second cloud says, HMM.
Episode Title: “The Stinky Shrinky Flower.” Text reads, “Story by Rebecca Atkinson, Script by Becky Overton.”
On a hilltop overlooking Mixington Valley, Lucky Loover Bird sits on a tree swing and watches Giggle, Pockets, and Spin play down below.
Lucky Loover Bird says, IN MIXINGTON VALLEY, THE MIXMUPS PLAY. WHAT KIND OF ADVENTURE WILL THEY MIX UP TODAY?
Giggle waves the Wooden Spoon and says, I'M READY.
Pockets throws a ball and says, HERE IT COMES.
As if playing baseball, Spin hits the ball with the wooden spoon. Yapette chases the ball.
[Yapette barks]
Yapette chases the ball over to Giggle. Giggle has their back to Yapette and is facing the shed door.
Spin says, WHY ARE THEY ALL LOOKING AT THE SHED DOOR?
Pockets says, I DON'T KNOW.
Pockets and Spin walk over to Giggle, who has Roller Guinea on their lap. Roller Guinea and Giggle are both wearing toy black and yellow bug antennas.
Pockets asks, WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?
Giggle smiles and says, MEET OUR TEENY-WEENY FRIEND. IT'S A LITTLE LADYBIRD.
A red and black polka dot ladybird sits on the shed door.
Spin says, AW, IT'S SO CUTE! WE MUST LOOK LIKE GIANTS TO TEENY BUGS.
The ladybird flies away, and the three friends watch it go.
Giggle says, I WISH WE COULD BE THAT SMALL.
Pockets says, I KNOW. LET'S MIX UP A BUG ADVENTURE AND SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
TEENY-WEENY.
Giggle and Spin cheer, OH, YES! YAY!
Over on the hilltop, Lucky Loover Bird says, OH. TIME TO PLAY.
Lucky Loover Bird hops off her tree swing and opens a door in the side of the tree. Inside the tree is a pair of toy red and black ladybird wings.
The three friends gather around the Magical Mixing box and put in the ingredients for their adventure!
Giggle tosses in toy bug antennas and says, BIG BUG BUPPERS.
Spin tosses in a tiny toy bug antenna and says, ROLLER GUINEA'S LITTLE BUG BUPPERS.
Pockets says, BUG SOUNDS.
[All make buzzing noises into the box and laugh]
Pockets says, HMM. WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED?
Up on the hilltop, Lucky Loover Bird waves her truck and sparkly magic swirls out!
Two smiling clouds overlook Mixington Valley.
The first cloud one HMM.
The second cloud says, HMM.
Giggle, Pockets, and Spin say, MAGIC SPARKLES!
The Wooden Spoon lights up.
All sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE MIX UP THE MAGIC, YAHOO, YIPPEE!
Confetti and sparkles swirl out of the Magical Mixing Box and lift the three friends, Yapette, and Roller Guinea into the air.
All sing, MIX IT, TWIRL IT, WHIRL IT, HEY TIME FOR SOME MAGIC, ADVENTURE AND PLAY MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS YEAH MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS MIXMUPS MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE YEAH!
They all disappear into the Magical Mixing Box with a pop!
The Magical Mixing Box appears in another world. Out pop Giggle, Pockets, Spin, Yapette, Roller Guinea, and the Wooden Spoon. The Magical Mixing Box unfolds, and from the inside appear trees, flowers, bushes, hills, and a blue sky. In a flash of sparkles, all the friends are wearing bug costumes with matching antennas, and Giggle’s manual wheelchair has transformed into an orange and blue power-assist scooter wheelchair.
Pockets says, OH! ARE WE TEENY-WEENY? I CAN'T TELL.
Giggle, Spin, and Pockets look down at themselves and say, NOPE.
Spin says, WE'RE STILL BIG.
All say, AW!
[Squeaking]
Everyone looks around.
Pockets says, HUH? WHO SAID THAT?
Lucky Loover Bird is shrunken and wearing a ladybird costume; she flies and lands in Spin’s hand.
Giggle says, IT'S A TEENY-WEENY LADYBIRD.
Pockets asks, WHERE?
Giggle says, ON MY HAND, POCKETS.
Pockets leans close to Spin’s hand and adjusts their glasses.
Pockets says, AW, I SEE YOU NOW.
Spin asks, WHO ARE YOU?
In a high-pitched voice, Lucky Loover Bird says, TODAY, I'M MRS. SPOTTY BUG. AND I MUST SAY, YOU ARE ALL GIGANTIC.
Giggle says, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE GIGANTIC. WE WANT TO BE TEENY-WEENY BUG SIZE.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, I KNOW JUST THE THING TO MAKE YOU TEENY-WEENY. IT'S A MAGIC FLOWER CALLED THE STINKY SHRINKY FLOWER. FOLLOW ME.
Mrs. Spotty Bug flies away, and the friends follow her. She leads them over to a tall pink, yellow, and green flower.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, TA-DA! ONE SNIFF, AND YOU'LL SHRINK UNTIL YOU'RE TEENY-WEENY.
All three friends say, OH!
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, AND ANOTHER SNIFF WILL MAKE YOU GROW BACK TO BEING GIGANTIC AGAIN.
All three friends say, LET'S SNIFF, LET'S SNIFF!
[All sniff]
Magical glitter comes out of the flower, and Giggle, Pockets, and Spin begin to shrink!
Giggle asks, DID IT WORK?
Spin looks up to the top of the flower, now far above them.
Spin says, WHOA! LOOK AT THE FLOWER. IT'S HUGE.
All say, WOW! YAY!
Giggle sings, WE ARE TEAM TINY!
All say, WHOO-HOO! WHOO-HOO!
In a montage, Giggle, Pockets, Spin, Yapette, and Roller Guinea explore the tiny bug world. The three friends slide down a leaf.
The three friends say, WHEE!
Yapette and Roller Guinea get chased by bees.
[Yapette barks and bees buzz]
Giggle looks for Spin and Pockets, they are hiding under a leaf!
Giggle and Pockets say, WHOO-HOO!
Giggle, Pockets, and Spin knock on a pink shell, and a smiling snail comes out of it.
[All gasp]
They run away from the snail. Spin and Pocket try to sit on a log, but it turns out to be a stick bug.
[All giggle]
The montage ends, and they come back to Mrs. Spotty Bug.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, RIGHT, TEENY BUGS, READY TO EAT SOME YUMMY BUG GRUB?
All say, OH, YEAH! YES!
Two smiling clouds overlook the world of bugs.
The first cloud says, HMM.
The second cloud says, HMM.
Later in the day, Giggle, Pockets, Spin, Yapette, Roller Guinea, and Mrs. Spotty Bug are at a bug restaurant. There are outdoor tables filled with bugs eating and a food stand. The friends sit at a table with a covered plate in front of them.
[Indistinct chattering]
Spin says, WHAT'S THERE TO EAT, THEN? I'M RIGHT HUNGRY.
Mrs. Spotty Bug opens the covered plate to reveal spaghetti covered in lime-green slime.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, YOU'RE IN LUCK. TODAY'S SPECIAL IS SPIDERWEB SPAGHETTI.
Spin says, UGH! NO, THANKS.
Mrs. Spotty Bug picks up a menu and reads, OH! UH, THERE'S SLUG SLIME SOUP.
[Pocket moans]
Pocket says, BUG FOOD ISN'T AS YUMMY AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
Suddenly, the ground shakes.
[Rumbling]
Spin asks, WHAT'S THAT NOISE?
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, OH, NO! IT'S… A BOOFEROO! QUICK, TAKE COVER!
A massive Booferoo comes out of the grass. It has brown fur, a red nose, tall ears, and an extremely long, polka-dotted and striped tail. It hops and leaps through the grass. The friends hide in a patch of grass.
All say, PHEW!
Mrs. Spotty Bug shouts, WATCH OUT FOR THE TAIL!
The Booferoo’s tail swings by them, and all the friends duck back behind the grass.
Mrs. Spotty Bug sighs and says, IT'S GONE NOW.
Pockets says, BEING A TEENY-WEENY BUG IS SCARIER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, OH, NO. IT'S NOT THAT SCARY, REALLY.
[A bird squawks from above]
[Mrs. Spotty Bug gasps]
Mrs. Spotty Bug points to the sky and says, GIANT PARROT APPROACHING!
A blue and yellow parrot lands on a tree above.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, AND WHERE THERE'S A GIANT PARROT, THERE'S A GIANT...
White bird poo splatters on the ground in front of the friends.
[All gasping]
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, ...PILE OF PARROT POO.
All say, EW!
Pocket says, I DON'T THINK I LIKE BEING A TEENY-WEENY BUG.
Spin says, I WANT TO BE BIG AGAIN.
Giggle says, ME TOO.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, NOT A PROBLEM. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE ANOTHER SNIFF AT THE MAGIC FLOWER, AND YOU'LL GROW BACK TO BEING GIGANTIC AGAIN.
Back at the Stinky Shrinky Flower, Giggle, Spin, and Pockets look up to the top of the tall flower.
Pockets says, BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET ALL THE WAY UP THERE?
Spin says, I KNOW. I CAN CLIMB UP IT.
Spin climbs the tree, but they slide back down.
Spin grunts and says, OOF! HMM. THAT DIDN'T WORK.
Pockets says to Mrs. Spotty Bug, OH, MAYBE YOU COULD FLY ME UP TO THE FLOWER.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, LET'S GIVE IT A GO!
Mrs. Spotty Bug holds onto Pockets and tries to fly, but Pockets is too heavy.
[Mrs. Spotty Bug strains]
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, I'M AFRAID I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY YOU.
Giggle gestures with their hands and says, WHY DON'T WE SNAP THE FLOWER? SO IT FALLS DOWN, AND THEN WE CAN SNIFF IT.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, OH! YOU SHOULD NEVER SNAP OR PICK WILDFLOWERS BECAUSE THEY'LL LOSE THEIR MAGIC POWERS.
Giggle sighs and says, IF WE CAN'T SNIFF THE MAGIC STINKY SHRINKY FLOWER, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GROW BIG AGAIN.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, HMM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU COULD DO TO REACH THE MAGIC STINKY SHRINKY FLOWER?
All say, HMM.
A thought bubble appears above Giggle, Pocket, and Spin’s heads. They think about climbing the flower, flying up to the top, and snapping the flower.
Spin says, I TRIED CLIMBING THE FLOWER. BUT I JUST SLID DOWN AGAIN.
Pockets says, AND MRS. SPOTTY BUG'S WINGS WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY ME UP TO THE FLOWER.
Giggle says, I THOUGHT WE COULD SNAP THE FLOWER, BUT THAT WOULD STOP ITS MAGIC POWERS.
Spin says, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WILL WE HAVE TO EAT BUG FOOD FOREVER?
Pockets says, I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA.
Two smiling clouds overlook the world of bugs.
The first cloud says, HMM.
The second cloud says, HMM.
Back at the bug restaurant, Pockets asks the caterpillar at the food stand,
Pocket says, ONE SPIDERWEB SPAGHETTI TO TAKE AWAY, PLEASE.
Spin says, THANK YOU.
[All sigh]
Back at the Stinky Shrinky Flower, Giggle unravels the spiderweb spaghetti into a long rope.
Pockets explains, OKAY, SPIN, WE CAN USE THE SPAGHETTI TO PULL THE FLOWER DOWN TO US.
Spin tosses up the spaghetti, and it wraps around the top of the flower. Giggle, Pockets, and Spin begin to pull on the end and bring the flower down to the tiny friends!
Pockets says, AND...
All say, HEAVE! HEAVE! HEAVE!
Pockets says, LET'S SNIFF.
[All sniffing]
Glitter sparkles down from the flower. Giggle, Spin, Pockets, Yapette, and Roller Guinea all grow.
Pockets says, HA-HA, WE DID IT. WE PULLED THE FLOWER DOWN TO US, SNIFFED IT,
AND GREW BIG AGAIN.
Mrs. Spotty Bug says, AS I SAY, THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY.
The Wooden Spoon appears back in Pocket’s front pocket.
Pocket says, OOF! IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.
The magical adventure world begins to fold back up into the Magical Mixing Box, as today’s adventure comes to an end.
Lucky Loover Bird says, TOODLE-OO.
Giggle, Spin, Pockets, Yapette, and Roller Guinea all disappear into the Magical Mixing Box in a shimmer of sparkles. They appear back in Mixington Valley.
Spin says, WHOA, THAT WAS A FUN TEENY-WEENY ADVENTURE.
Pocket says, I'M GLAD I'M NOT A TEENY-WEENY BUG IN REAL LIFE, THOUGH.
Giggle says, ME TOO.
A red and black polka-dotted ladybird flies by.
[Giggle gasps]
Giggle points and says, LOOK. IT'S OUR LITTLE LADYBIRD FRIEND.
Pocket says, I WONDER WHERE SHE'S GOING.
The ladybird flies over to a table where three juice boxes are sitting.
Spin says, OH, YEAH. THREE CARTONS OF JUICE.
Giggle says, I HOPE IT ISN'T SLUG SLIME JUICE.
[All laughing]
[All slurping juice]
Giggle, Spin, and Pocket says, APPLE! HOORAY!
Pocket says, I WONDER WHO LEFT THESE HERE?
Up on the hilltop overlooking Mixington Valley is Lucky Loover Bird. She puts her ladybird wings back in the tree cupboard. She sits back on the tree swing and looks down at Giggle, Pocket, and Spin.
Lucky Loover Bird says, MIXING UP ADVENTURES NEAR AND FAR, BUT HOME IS WHERE THE MIXMUPS ARE. BYE, MIXMUPS!

[Giggle gasps]
Giggle points and says, LOOK. IT'S OUR LITTLE LADYBIRD FRIEND.
Pocket says, I WONDER WHERE SHE'S GOING.
The ladybird flies over to a table where three juice boxes are sitting.
Spin says, OH, YEAH. THREE CARTONS OF JUICE.
Giggle says, I HOPE IT ISN'T SLUG SLIME JUICE.
[All laughing]
[All slurping juice]
Giggle, Spin, and Pocket says, APPLE! HOORAY!
Pocket says, I WONDER WHO LEFT THESE HERE?
Up on the hilltop overlooking Mixington Valley is Lucky Loover Bird. She puts her ladybird wings back in the tree cupboard. She sits back on the tree swing and looks down at Giggle, Pocket, and Spin.
Lucky Loover Bird says, MIXING UP ADVENTURES NEAR AND FAR, BUT HOME IS WHERE THE MIXMUPS ARE. BYE, MIXMUPS!
