Mixmups

Descriptive Transcript

[Cheerful music plays, box boings, Yapette grunts, Roller Guinea chitters]

DESCRIPTION: In animation, a wooden spoon floats from a magical blue mixing box with yellow stars.

[Song] Mixmups, here come the Mixmups. Mixmups, mix, mix, the Mixmups. Mixmups, here come the Mixmups. Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

[Title] Mixmups.

DESCRIPTION: The Mixmups, Pockets, Spin and Giggle pose. Pockets is a blue bear with red pockets. She wears triangular red eyeglasses with a yellow star on each side. Spin is a red rabbit with a yellow lollipop-like antenna poking out beneath each of his ears. Giggle, who uses a wheelchair, is a yellow-and-light-orange-striped cat. She holds Roller Guinea, a roller skate-wearing guinea pig, on her lap. Yellow, red and orange confetti flutters in the air.

[Chiming, cheerful music continues]

[Song] Mix up the magic, one, two, three!

DESCRIPTION: The Mixmups gather around the mixing box in front of their house. Lucky Loover Bird stands beside a swing on a hilltop. Magical sparkles leave their trunk and flow towards the Mixmups. Roller Guinea and Yapette, Pocket’s guide dog, stand with them. The Mixmups spin above the box and fly inside. In a forest with yellow and orange leaves on the trees, Giggle uses her electric tri-ride add-on with Pockets, Yapette, and Spin running behind her. In a bakery, Spin serves Pockets and Giggle cake. The Mixmups wear pirate hats, and Giggle turns a ship’s wheel. Pockets plays an electric guitar.

[Song] Mix it, twirl it, whirl it, hey! Time for some magic, adventure and play. Mixmups, Mixmups, hey, hey, hey! Mixmups, here come the Mixmups. Mixmups, mix, mix, the Mixmups. Mixmups, here come the Mixmups. Mix up the magic, mix up the magic. Mix up the magic with the Mixmups.

Text reads, “Mixmups.”

DESCRIPTION: Lucky Loover Bird, Giggle, Roller Guinea, Pockets, Yapette, and Spin pose and smile beneath the text. Two fluffy white clouds smile in a blue sky.

CLOUDS: Hmm.

[Upbeat music plays, birds chirp]

[Giggle groans]

GIGGLE: That's not fair! Can we play again?

[Yapette munches]

POCKETS: I haven't got any prizes left.

[Giggle groans]

GIGGLE: I'm so unlucky with these games. I never win any prizes.

POCKETS: I've got an idea. Let's mix up a prize-winning adventure and see if we can all be lucky and win a prize.

ALL: Yay!

LUCKY LOOVER BIRD: Oh? Time to play.

[Footsteps patter, upbeat music notes play, door creaks, cups clatter]

[Popping]

CLOUDS: Hmm.

POCKETS: We did it! We came to the Land of Luckiness to play games, be lucky, and win prizes.

[Roller Guinea vocalizes]

GIGGLE: But we found that we didn't need lucky hats to win prizes. We just needed to practice and try our best.

SPIN: And it was loads more fun, too.

WANDA WINNER: Yep! As I say, there's always another way.

[Whoosh]
