Text reads, “Studio Bozzetto and Sardine Productions present...”

Boxy is an open box who wears light blue shorts. Kate, who has one large eye, wears her red hair in pigtails. She wears a red dress with a blue belt. Dino, a red dinosaur who skips on two feet, wears blue pants with a yellow waistband. Pigi, Dino, Kate and Nina play leapfrog. Boxy bounces by on a large green ball. The Game Catchers each fly a spaceship.

[Cheerful music plays]

The Game Catchers sing, WE LOVE GAMES
PLAYING IS OUR MISSION,
TO FIND GAMES WE'RE ON AN EXPEDITION.

The Game Catchers sing, WE'RE TRAVELLING
AROUND THE UNIVERSE,
IN SEARCH OF FRIENDS AND FUN.
COLLECTING GAMES TO SHARE

WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS.

Voices sing, CATCHERS.

The Game Catchers sing, THAT'S RIGHT
WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS.

The voices sing, CATCHERS.

The Game Catchers sing, YEAH!

The Game Catchers run into their headquarters and startle Mr. Moustache. Mr. Moustache wears a blue suit with a red bowtie. His long blue moustache is darker at the pointed ends. Mr. Moustache has four arms and wears large round eyeglasses. He sits on a stool in front of a computer built into a large claw machine. The top of the machine has a claw hanging over small light blue game spheres. Text reads, “Directors: Andrea Bozzetto, Branko Rakic.”

The Game Catchers shout, GOOD MORNING!

Mr. Moustache says, OH!
GOOD MORNING!

[He chuckles]

The word “Game” is blue with a white outline. The word “Catchers” is dark pink with a white outline. A pink star and purple star are to the left of the text. Green, orange and red stars are to the right of the text.

[Whooshing, chiming]

Text reads, “Careful, Nina!” “Written by Anne-Marie Perrotta.”

A voice reads, ‘CAREFUL, NINA!’

A planet features lush green grass and blue water. Green, pink, yellow and orange trees grow on the surface of the world. The Game Catchers headquarters is located at the top of the planet.

Inside the headquarters, Mr. Moustache types on the computer keyboard. Kate, Pigi, Dino, Boxy and Nina stand in a line watching him.

[Playful music plays, beeping, typing]

Mr. Moustache says, OH, IT SEEMS
I'VE FOUND A PLANET FOR...

A green bugs flies around Mr. Moustache’s face.

[Buzzing]

Mr. Moustache says, OH, HEY! GO AWAY!
SHOO! OH.

Mr. Moustache waves his arms and backs away from the bug. Kate moves out of the way. Mr. Moustache bumps into Pigi and knocks him, Dino, Boxy and Nina over.

[Boing, bonk]

Dino, Boxy and Nina say, OH!

[Exclamations, laughter, buzzing]

Mr. Moustache says, SHOO! SHOO!

Kate pushes a button on the keyboard.

[Whirring, beeping, playful music plays]

Kate says, THERE IT IS!

[Buzzing, whooshing]

Mr. Moustache says, AH, LET ME SEE.

The bug lands on the computer screen and waves.

[Boing, Mr. Moustache groans, the Game Catchers giggle]

Kate asks, HI, COULD YOU
PLEASE MOVE OVER?

The bug flies away.

[Buzzing, upbeat music plays]

Boxy says, AH!

Mr. Moustache says, LOOK AT THAT!

Kate says, MANNERS ALWAYS WORK.

Mr. Moustache says, THANKS, KATE.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

HEY, WHAT'S THAT?

[Beeping, typing]

A blue flag flaps on a pole on the planet.

Mr. Moustache says, A GAME TRACE!
READY TO GO?

Nina, Boxy, Kate and Dino cheer, YEAH!

[Pigi coos]

Soon, the Game Catchers stand in a tube.

Nina, Boxy, Dino and Kate say, THERE'S A NEW GAME
TO CATCH, GO!

They fly up the tube and emerge from the headquarters in their individual spaceships.

[Rhythmic music plays]

Boxy, Nina, Kate and Dino sing, LET'S TAKE
OFF EXPLORING,
THROUGH SPACE OUR SHIP
IS SOARING.
AS WE SEARCH FOR GAMES
AND NEW FRIENDS.

The Game Catchers stop their spaceships at a red traffic light. They wait for a line of four spaceships to drive past. The front spaceship has a load of equipment and toys tied to the roof. The light turns green.

[Tires screech, motor putters, whirring]

Boxy, Nina, Kate and Dino sing, WE DO LOVE EXPLORING,
WE NEVER FIND IT BORING.

TOURING GALAXIES AND PLANETS,
OUR UNIVERSE'S FULL OF GAMES
AND FUN.

[Pigi coos]

Boxy, Nina, Kate and Dino sing, FOR EVERYONE.

[Pigi coos]

Boxy, Nina, Kate and Dino shout, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!

The Game Catchers fly their spaceships down to the surface of a pink planet with large pink and purple craters with raised edges. Each time one of the spaceships hits a pink cloud, the cloud breaks up.

[Gentle music plays, giggling, exclamations]

Soon, they stand beside their spaceship and watch pink puffs of cloud-like smoke lift from the craters.

They cheer, YAY! WOW.

They slide down the side of a cliff.

[Slide whistle, laughter, cheering, energetic music plays]

Nina jumps up and breaks up a smoke cloud.

Nina says, I GOT ONE!

The Game Catchers waves their hands through the pink smoke leaving small craters. Dino and Pigi both jump into a puff of smoke and smack into each other.

[Laughter, bang, cooing]

The Game Catchers run to a wide crater opening and watch a large puff of smoke float up and break apart.

[Tires screech, poof]

They exclaim, WHOA!

Three marshmallow-shaped aliens run past the Game Catchers. The tall alien in the front is orange and carries an orange flag on a cyan pole. They have a dark pink cylinder and light green cylinder on their head. The alien behind them is lime green with a light blue and a yellow cylinder on their head. They carry a blue flag on a cyan pole. The last alien is dark pink and runs with lime green and light blue cylinders on their head.

[Aliens laugh, rhythmic music plays]

The Game Catchers say, HELLO!

The three aliens stop and look at the Game Catchers.

[Tires screech]

The three aliens say, HUH?

Nina says, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS AND...

[Chiming]

Boxy says, WE GO FROM PLANET TO PLANET...

[Chiming]

Kate says, TO LEARN...

[Pigi coos, chiming]

Boxy, Nina and Kate say, DINO!

Dino leans over a crater and a smoke cloud dissipates around his head.

[Poof, grunting]

Dino says, NEW GAMES!

The green alien says, WOW! WE'RE GETTING
READY TO PLAY "CAPTURE THE FLAG".

[Gentle music plays]

The Game Catchers say, OH!

The orange alien asks, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO JOIN US?

Dino walks to the aliens.

[Rustling]

Dino says, WOO-HOO!
CAPTURE THE FLAG, YEAH!
EH, UH... HOW DO WE PLAY?

[Dino laughs, whirr, the pink alien giggles]

The pink alien says, IT'S EASY!
YOU SPLIT INTO TWO TEAMS.

They split into two teams, with Nina, Kate, the orange alien and the pink alien one side of a line of rocks. The green alien, Dino, Pigi and Boxy stand on the other side. The teams face each other.

[Tires screech, rhythmic music plays]

The pink alien narrates, EACH TEAM HAS
HALF OF THE FIELD, AS WELL AS A FLAG,
AND A JAIL.

The orange flag appears behind Nina’s team. The blue flag appears behind Boxy. A circle of rocks appears behind each team.

[Dings]

The pink alien narrates, TO START,
YOU HAVE TO GET
THE OTHER TEAM'S FLAG.

IF YOU BRING IT BACK
TO YOUR OWN FIELD,
YOU GET A POINT!

Kate grabs the blue flag and carries it back to her field.

[Pop, tires screech, slide whistle, rhythmic music continues]

The pink alien narrates, BUT IF YOU
GET CAUGHT WHILE YOU'RE IN
THE OTHER TEAM'S FIELD,
YOU GO TO JAIL AND YOU STAY
THERE UNTIL A MEMBER
OF YOUR TEAM FREES YOU
BY TOUCHING YOU.

Dino captures the orange flag and runs into the pink alien. He falls and goes to the jail. The green alien touches him.

[Pop, boing, ding, tires screeching]

The pink alien narrates, THE TEAM THAT
MANAGES TO CAPTURE THE OPPONENT'S
FLAG THREE TIMES WINS!

[Triumphant music plays]

Nina and Kate run onto the other team’s field. Boxy stands beside the blue flag.

[Rustling]

Boxy says, HMM.

Nina tiptoes behind him.

[Dinging, Nina whistles, whoosh]

Boxy says, HM?

Nina grabs the flag and runs.

[Giggling]

Boxy says, OH!

[Laughter, upbeat music plays]

Nina says, SWEETIE POWER PUFF! OH?

Nina falls into a crater and slides down the side.

[Scream, slide whistle, she laughs]

Kate shouts, NINA, WHERE DID YOU GO?

Nina says, I'M DOWN HERE!

The aliens and other Game Catchers run to the edge of the crater and look inside.

[Rustling]

Boxy says, OH!

Kate shouts, ARE YOU OKAY?

Nina watches pink clouds of smoke float out of a small crater.

[Poofs, slide whistle, upbeat music plays]

Nina says, YES, YES!
IT'S SO NICE IN HERE.

Kate says, YES, BUT YOU HAVE
TO GET OUT OF THERE.
CAN YOU REACH MY HAND?

Kate extends her hand. Nina jumps towards the hand but cannot reach it.

[Slide whistle, whooshing, Nina grunts]

Nina says, IT'S... IT'S TOO... HIGH.

Kate takes her hand out of the crater.

[Slide whistle, upbeat music continues]

The orange alien says, LET ME DOWN,
MAYBE TWO OF US CAN REACH HER.

Boxy says, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT JUST MIGHT WORK!

[Pigi coos, slide whistle]

Kate lowers the orange alien into the crater. Nina grabs the alien’s hand.

[Boing, creaking]

The orange alien says, GOT YOU. I'M READY!

Kate and Boxy say, HEE-OH!

[Creaking]

Kate and Boxy say, HEE-OH!

A puff of smoke leaves the small crater. The orange alien sneezes and lets go of Kate’s hand. The alien and Nina fall to the bottom of the large crater.

[Poof, slide whistle, sneeze, scream, crash, nervous giggle]

The orange alien says, OH, SORRY.

[Poof]

Nina says, IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN KEEP ME COMPANY.

[Slide whistle, dramatic music plays]

Dino announces, AND NOW,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO LIVE
DOWN THERE FOREVER!

[Kate giggles]

Kate says, NO, DINO.
WE JUST HAVE TO FIND
A WAY TO GET THEM OUT.

[Whoosh, Dino sobs]

Dino sadly says, I DON'T KNOW!

[Rustling, upbeat music plays]

Boxy says, MAYBE I HAVE SOMETHING
IN HERE THAT WE CAN USE. AH!

Boxy takes a book out of his open box top.

Dino says, AT LEAST THEY CAN LOOK
AT THIS BOOK.

Dino throws the book into the crater. Boxy takes a tambourine out of his open box top.

[Whoosh, rustling, clattering, upbeat music continues]

Dino says, OR MAKE MUSIC
IF THEY'RE BORED.

Boxy pulls a small box out of his box top.

Boxy says, HMM.

A jack-in-a-box pops out of the box.

[Boing, gasp, Dino giggles, whoosh]

Boxy takes items out of his box top and Dino throws them into the crater.

[Upbeat music continues, squeaking, whooshing, crashing]

Boxy pulls a coil of rope out of his box top.

[Rustling]

Boxy says, HERE WE ARE.

[Triumphant music, rustling]

Dino says, OH, THAT'S PERFECT!

Dino throws the rope into the crater.

[Whoosh]

Boxy says, DINO, THAT COULD'VE
HELPED US.

Dino says, OOPS, SORRY.

Nina says, HEY, GUYS.

Everyone says, OH!

[Pigi coos]

Dino says, HEY, IT'S NINA AND FLAB!

Nina and Flab, the orange alien, smile.

Kate, Boxy, Dino and the green and pink aliens shout, NINA! FLAB!

[Pigi coos]

Boxy asks, HOW DID YOU GET OUT?

[Gentle music plays]

Nina says, WE JUST CLIMBED UP EVERYTHING
YOU THREW IN. THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA.

[Dino laughs]

Dino says, I DID IT!

[Laughter]

Flab says, AND NOW, IT'S TIME TO PLAY!

They play capture the flag.

[Energetic music plays, tires screech, giggling, popping]

[Pigi coos, exclamations, laughter]

Nina’s team wins the game.

[Cheering, laughter]

Kate says, THANKS, YOUR GAME'S GREAT!

Later, the Game Catchers and aliens stand close to the spaceships.

Nina says, AND SO ARE YOUR CRATERS.

Flab says, THEN COME BACK ANY TIME.

The Game Catchers take off in their spaceships.

Nina, Boxy, Kate and Dino say, BYE!

[Pigi coos, upbeat music plays, ding]

Soon, Mr. Moustache types on the keyboard while the Game Catchers relax the headquarters.

[Kate laughs, typing]

Kate says, IT WAS SO FUNNY!
AND THEN I CAPTURED THE FLAG
AND THEN--

Dino says, NINA FELL INTO A CRATER.

[Gentle music plays]

Boxy says, BUT I HELPED TO GET HER OUT!

[Pigi coos, Mr. Moustache laughs]

Mr. Moustache says, WELL, I MUST SAY,
"CAPTURE THE FLAG" SOUNDS LIKE A
DELIGHTFUL GAME.

ANOTHER GAME SPHERE
FOR OUR COLLECTION.

The claw picks up a game sphere and it fills with red light. Inside the game sphere, the Game Catchers and aliens play ‘Capture the Flag.’

[Triumphant music plays, whirring, clanking]

Nina puts the game sphere on a shelf in the game archive.

[Upbeat music plays]

Nina says, THERE IT IS.

Mr. Moustache says, GOOD JOB, GAME CATCHERS.

The Game Catchers cheer, YAY!

[Giggling, playful music plays]
