Mojo Swoptops

Descriptive Transcript

[Rock music plays]

DESCRIPTION: In an animation, Bo pushes levers and buttons on a controller in the Swop Shop Headquarters. He wears a green hat over his curly, short brown hair. Mojo, a blue vehicle, swaps from an airplane to a fire truck to a bulldozer with a crane on the back. They then swap to a truck with a wrecking ball and spin in a circle.

[Song] Jet top, fire top, dozer top, dig it up. Crane with a wrecking ball, you know they'll answer any call. Jumper top, monster top, turn it on, swop it up. Mojo and Bo to the Swop Shop, let's go.

DESCRIPTION: The headquarters garage door opens, and Bo drives Mojo to the road.

[Song] Mojo. Swoptop. Swop your top, and let's go. Together we can make it all right.

DESCRIPTION: On the road, Mojo swaps between different types of vehicles.

[Song] Mojo. Swoptop. Swop your top, and let's go. It's you and me; we're outta sight.

DESCRIPTION: Mojo zooms on the water. On the road, they drive with a ramp to a dump bed lowered, and scooter riders slide into the back of the truck. In a forest, Bo stands on a cherry picker and lifts a pig from a tree. Mojo swaps to a helicopter and a monster truck.

[Song] Boat top, dumper top, race it fast, rev it up. Cherry picker, oh-so tall. You know they'll answer any call. Chopper top, monster top, turn it on, rev it up. Mojo and Bo to the rescue. Let's go! Mojo Swoptops. Swop your top, and let's go.

[Opening Credits] Written by Ian Carney. Directed by Oliver Brown.

[Tense music plays]

DESCRIPTION: In the Swopshop, Mojo looks at tire prints on the floor. Beside Mojo, an overturned toolbox and tools lie on the floor beside a worktable. Bo walks to them with his hands behind his back.

BO: Well, well, well, Mojo, old friend, what do we have here?

MOJO: Uh, I have no idea. Looks like someone's made a mess in the Swopshop and hasn't tidied it up!

[Squeak, dramatic music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Bo drags his finger across a tabletop and then puts on a deerstalker cap.

BO: But who could it be? Detective Bo is on the case.

[Footsteps patter]

DESCRIPTION: Bo walks towards the tire prints.

BO: Aha! Tire prints. It's a clue.

[Mojo chuckles nervously, magnifying glass whooshes]

DESCRIPTION: Bo peers at the tire prints through a magnifying glass.

MOJO: Whose tire prints could they be?

BO: Hm, if we could find out whose tires match these prints, then we'll have our mystery mess maker.

DESCRIPTION: Mojo backs away from Bo.

MOJO: Oh.

[Mojo chuckles nervously]

MOJO: Uh...

[Siren blares, whoosh]

DESCRIPTION: Air from the siren mounted on the wall blows away the tire prints.

MOJO: Oh, no. All the clues have blown away.

[Bo giggles, tense music plays]

BO: Looks like our mystery mess maker got away with it. This time.

MOJO: Phew.

[Button clicks, beep, light music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pushes a button on a control panel, and Fabio appears on the computer screen, standing in front of his restaurant.

BO: Mojo Swoptops. Helping you is what we do.

MOJO: Hey, Fabio. What's cooking?

FABIO: Soup! Made from the biggest vegetables in the biggest pot of all time!

[Clank, the music stops]

DESCRIPTION: Fabio hugs a pot taller than he is.

BO: Soup-er!

[Mojo and Bo giggle]

BO: But where are you going to find giant veg?

[Tense music plays]

FABIO: Jackson has grown the giant veggies, but they're so big, he's going to need your help to pull them up! If we don't get those big, big veggies from the ground, no soup for anyone.

[Clank]

DESCRIPTION: Fabio closes his eyes, puts a hand on his forehead, and leans back against the pot.

BO: We'll be right over!

[Beeping, whirr, upbeat music plays, whoosh]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pushes a button. An opening in the ceiling closes, and Bo picks up his controller. He and Mojo look at the computer screen, and the cherry picker top appears.

BO: What about the cherry picker? Sounds perfect for the job.

MOJO: But those monster veggies are much bigger than cherries.

[Bo laughs, click, whirr]

DESCRIPTION: The monster top appears on the computer screen.

BO: Monster veggies, huh? How about the monster top?

MOJO: But the biggest veggies are going to need the biggest lift.

[Bo gasps]

BO: That's it!

[Click, beep]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pushes the button on the controller.

[Both gasp]

BO AND MOJO: It's time to swop that top!

[Rock music plays, tires squeal, beeps, whirrs, buzzing, seatbelt clicks, tires squeal]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo drives onto a platform and rises on a vehicle lift. Bo pushes buttons on the controller, and mechanical arms remove Mojo’s tires. Bo jumps into Mojo’s cab and fastens his seatbelt. The garage door opens, and Mojo drives out with a crane top.

BOTH: Crane top!

[Tires squeal, motor rumbles, upbeat music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo drives around a corner. At Jackson’s farm, Bo, Fabio, and Mojo arrive using the crane to carry the giant pot. Jackston and Preston stand together by a pigpen. Preston wears carrot earmuffs and holds a sign with a red circle around a shovel, with a line through it.

PRESTON: Jackson, those veggies belong in the ground!

BO: Wow. Nice carrot earmuffs, Preston. What're you doing on the farm?

PRESTON: Ah, Bo. I'm president of the Swopperton Vegetable Society. See? I carry the turnip badge of office.

[Chimes]

DESCRIPTION: Preston points at a gleaming silver turnip badge on his yellow vest.

PRESTON: I'm here to make sure those giant veggies don't get dug up.

FABIO: Okay, but on the other hand, soup!

[Happy music notes play]

ALL: Soup!

[The music stops]

PRESTON: Fine, have it your way, but you haven't heard the last of me.

[Slide whistle, Preston shouts, thump]

DESCRIPTION: A pink pig and a brown pig chase Felix, and they knock Preston over. They run past Bo and Mojo.

MOJO: Oh, hello, Felix. Felix? And, uh, Felix?

JACKSON: Nope. These are Felix's cousins. Felicity and Fred.

[Felicity and Fred snort]

DESCRIPTION: Jackson lifts the pink pig, Felicity, and the brown pig, Fred.

JACKSON: Where have you been? I told you to stay in your pen.

[Felicity and Fred snort, dramatic music plays, hooves clomp, gate bangs]

DESCRIPTION: Felicity and Fred smile at each other. Jackson puts them down, and the three pigs run into the pen. Jackson closes the gate.

JACKSON: Oh, look. I forgot to latch that gate again. Some pig farmer I am.

[Tap]

DESCRIPTION: Fabio grabs Jackson.

FABIO: But you are a giant vegetable farmer. Take me to your veggies.

JACKSON: Right you are, Fabio. This way!

[Engine whirrs, gate squeaks, dramatic music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Jackson puts his arm around Fabio’s shoulders and leads him away from the pen. Bo and Mojo follow, smiling broadly. Behind them, the pen gate swings open. Elsewhere, everyone stops by a giant turnip.

BO: Whoa! That's one big turnip!

[Whirr, clank, click]

DESCRIPTION: At the crane controls, Bo pulls a lever, and the crane grabs a turnip leaf.

MOJO: And a giant turnip is going to need a giant pull.

BO: Ready, Mojo? Take the strain and heave!

[Whirr, tires rumble, click, everyone grunts, turnip pops, gasps]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pulls both levers down. Mojo pulls the turnip, and, on the ground, Jackson and Fabio pull on it. Mojo pulls the turnip out, and the bottom has been nibbled.

[Dramatic music plays, Jackson and Fabio scream]

DESCRIPTION: Fabio and Jackson look up at the giant turnip, and Fabio jumps into Jackson’s arms.

MOJO: It's been chomped!

[Dramatic music notes play]

BO: You're right, Mojo, and the chomp marks look fresh. Whoever did it is probably still on the farm.

[Mojo gasps]

MOJO: Does that mean...

[Whoosh]

DESCRIPTION: Bo twirls his magnifying glass.

BO: Detective Bo is on the case! Come on, Mojo. Let's search for clues. Hm. Trotter tracks.

DESCRIPTION: Bo follows small hoof prints in the dirt.

BO: If I follow them, I'll find...

DESCRIPTION: Bo stops and looks at the turnip badge of office on the ground.

BO: Huh?

[Chimes]

DESCRIPTION: The turnip badge gleams, and Bo picks it up.

BO: It's a turnip badge?

FABIO: No time for mystery solving. We have soup to make!

JACKSON: Come on, we better check on our giant onion.

[Fabio grunts]

DESCRIPTION: Jackson and Fabio run away from the turnip.

BO: Mojo and Bo are on the case.

[Engine rumbles, dramatic music notes play, pigs squeal]

DESCRIPTION: The three pigs peer over the top of a fence, watching Bo and Mojo follow Jackson and Fabio. Jackson, Fabio, Mojo, and Bo arrive at the giant onion.

JACKSON: Quick, Mojo!

MOJO: One giant onion coming right up.

[Whirr, click]

DESCRIPTION: The crane grabs the leaves at the top of the onion.

MOJO: Out of the ground that is.

[Levers click, tense music plays, everyone grunts, Jackson gasps]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pulls a lever down and pushes the other one up. They pull the part of the onion out of the ground.

FABIO: Oh, my!

[Thump]

DESCRIPTION: Fabio faints, and Jackson catches him.

BO: It's just as I thought.

[Bo grunts, magnifying glass whooshes]

DESCRIPTION: Bo jumps off the crane platform to the ground and twirls the magnifying glass.

BO: There's a vegetable chomper on the loose.

[Tense music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Bo peers at the dirt. Nearby, the nibbled onion lies on the grass.

BO: More trotter tracks, and if we follow them, we find...

[Mojo gasps]

DESCRIPTION: Carrot earmuffs lie on the ground.

MOJO: Another clue!

DESCRIPTION: Mojo picks up the earmuffs with the crane.

MOJO: Carrot earmuffs? The clues are mounting up.

FABIO: No turnip, no onion, but I can still make carrot soup.

JACKSON: Yeah, if the carrots' still there!

[Engine rumbles, tense music plays, hooves thump, crane whirrs, squeaks, Mojo grunts, Jackson and Fabio whimper, whirr, engine rumbles, Jackson and Fabio cheer]

DESCRIPTION: Everyone follows Jackson to the carrot patch, and the pigs follow them. At the carrot patch, Mojo grabs the leaves with the crane and pulls as Jackson and Fabio watch wide-eyed. Mojo pulls the giant carrot out of the ground.

BO: Whoa!

FABIO: A giant carrot!

JACKSON: And no one has chomped it.

[Whoosh]

DESCRIPTION: Bo jumps to the ground.

FABIO: I'll start the soup. Mojo, Bo, make sure no one chomps that carrot.

DESCRIPTION: Fabio runs away, and Bo looks up at the dangling carrot.

BO: I suspect we haven't seen the last of that chomper.

MOJO: Well, Detective Bo, we'll just have to be ready for them.

DESCRIPTION: Later, Bo paces near the carrot.

MOJO: The badge, the carrot earmuffs, Bo, it all adds up!

BO: But does it, Mojo?

DESCRIPTION: Jackson stands on top of Mojo, holding a shovel.

JACKSON: Look, over there. A suspiciously sprightly haybale.

[Haybale rustles]

DESCRIPTION: A haybale bounces towards the carrot.

JACKSON: Ah-ha!

[Haybale rustles]

DESCRIPTION: Jackson lifts the haybale and reveals Preston sitting on the grass, holding a camera.

JACKSON: Preston?

MOJO: I knew it! Preston chomped those giant veggies.

[Preston grunts, whoosh]

DESCRIPTION: Preston stands.

PRESTON: What?! No, I didn't!

[Whooshes, tense music plays]

DESCRIPTION: In a flashback, Bo holds the turnip badge of office, and the carrot earmuffs lie on the ground.

MOJO: We found your badge in the turnip field, and we found your carrot earmuffs in the onion field! That's how I know it was you!

[Squeaks]

DESCRIPTION: Bo pushes the flashback away.

BO: But you're forgetting one thing, Mojo. Preston didn't want those vegetables eaten in the first place.

PRESTON: That's right! I just wanted to take some pictures for the Swopperton Vegetable Society. I must have dropped my things while I was up at the field.

BO: Anyway, it couldn't have been Preston. Preston doesn't leave trotter tracks.

[Whoosh, hay rustles, dramatic music notes play]

DESCRIPTION: In a flashback, the two hoof print tracks appear. Bo picks up a haybale and throws it away, revealing Felix, Felicity, and Fred.

BO: The real vegetable chompers are Felix, Felicity, and Fred!

[Felicity snorts, everyone gasps, dramatic music notes play, gate squeaks]

DESCRIPTION: Everyone looks at the open pen gate.

[Preston, Jackson, and Mojo gasp]

MOJO: Huh?

JACKSON: I really should latch that gate.

[Mojo gasps]

MOJO: But where have they gone?

[Bo gasps, whoosh]

BO: And where's the giant carrot?

[Dramatic music plays]

EVERYONE: It's been veg-napped!

[Pigs squeal, hooves thump]

DESCRIPTION: Felix pushes the giant carrot on a wagon, with Fred and Felicity riding on top.

MOJO: Detective Bo.

BO: It's time for a hot swop!

[Rock music plays, clank, whirr, seatbelt clicks, rotor blades thump]

DESCRIPTION: At the Swopshop, Bo pushes buttons on the controller, and a mechanical arm places a rotor blade on top of Mojo. Bo jumps into Mojo and fastens his seatbelt. The ceiling opening slides open, and they fly outside.

BOTH: Chopper top!

[Pigs squeal, wheels squeak, thump, tense music plays, feedback squeaks]

DESCRIPTION: The pigs ride the carrot on the wagon down a hill. In Mojo’s cab, Bo leans out the window, holding a megaphone.

BO, THROUGH THE MEGAPHONE: Stop! You're never getting away with that carrot!

[Pigs squeal]

DESCRIPTION:

MOJO: I don't think they are going to stop.

BO: Then this just became a carrot rescue.

[Exciting music plays, rope whooshes, wheels squeak, Bo grunts]

DESCRIPTION: Bo leaps out of Mojo, wearing a harness attached to a rope. He reaches for the carrot, and the wagon rolls down the hill away from him.

BO: Oh, so close!

[Whoosh, squeak]

DESCRIPTION: The wagon rolls into a tunnel.

MOJO: Oh, no! They've gone into the tunnel.

BO: Mojo, the cliff! We're never going to make it over!

[Rope whooshes]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo reels in the rope, lifting Bo to the cab. Mojo stacks the rotor blades together and glides into the tunnel.

MOJO: We aren't going over. We're going under. It's tunnel time.

[Thump, energetic music plays, wagon rumbles, Mojo scrapes, pigs squeal]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo lands in the tunnel and slides forward. Sparks fly from their landing skids as they follow the pigs.

MOJO: You naughty piggies won't get away that easily!

[Wheels, skids rumble]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo and the wagon slide, doing loops around the circular tunnel walls.

BO: Mojo, you've put me in a spin!

MOJO: Woo-hoo!

[Pigs squeal, rock music plays, whoosh, wagon thumps, rotor blades thump]

DESCRIPTION: The carrot, wagon and pigs fly out of the tunnel at Jackson’s farm. They slide past the giant pot towards Jackson at the pigpen. Mojo flies out behind the wagon and activates their rotor blades.

BOTH: Woo-hoo!

JACKSON: There we are. Latched at last.

DESCRIPTION: Jackson notices the three pigs riding the carrot towards him. Fred, Felicity, and Felix’s tongues flap in the wind as they smile.

JACKSON: Ah!

[Pigs squeal, Jackson shouts, carrot bangs, tense music plays, whoosh, mud splashes]

DESCRIPTION: The carrot hits the pen gate and flies up into the air. The pigs land in a muddy puddle in the pen as the carrot flies high into the air.

[Rock music plays]

BO: The carrot!

[Slide whistle]

DESCRIPTION: The carrot falls.

MOJO: Chopper top!

(Thuds, whirr, grunt, water splashes]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo uses the rotor blades and chops the carrot as it falls towards the pot. Fabio stands on a ladder beside the pot, smiling.

FABIO: Ah! Soup!

[Rotor blades thump]

DESCRIPTION: Mojo and Bo hover above the pot.

BOTH: Yay!

[Preston slurps, bowl thumps, light music plays]

DESCRIPTION: Later, Mojo hovers in the air and watches Bo, Preston, and Jackson sitting at a picnic table. Fabio stands at the end of the table and smiles as Preston drinks from a soup bowl. Preston puts his bowl on the table and smiles at Fabio.

PRESTON: Mm, Fabio, this soup is delicious.

FABIO: Help yourself to some more, Preston. There's plenty in the pot.

[Fabio chuckles, rotor blades thump, dramatic music notes play]

MOJO: No, there isn't. It's empty!

[Everyone gasps, dramatic music notes play]

BO: Detective Bo is on the case!

[Pigs snort, dramatic music notes play, Felicity honks, pigs snort]
