Transcript: Catch The Sponge
White text in a blue square reads, “MiC.” A woman’s face looks to the right of logo towards text that reads, “Direzione Generale Cinema e Audiovisivo.”
Text reads, “Studio Bozzetto and Sardine Productions present...”
The Game Catchers skip on the points of a star. Pigi, a teal bird, wears a black and white striped shirt. Nina is a grey unicorn with a rainbow-striped horn and pink hair. She wears a lilac skirt. 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.
Text reads, “A series created by Andrea Bozzetto. Branko Rakic. Corrado Colleoni.” “In collaboration with Rai Ragazzi.” Executive Producers: Pietro Pinetti, Ghislain Cyr.” “Music by Roberto Frattini.”
[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
WITH EVERYONE.
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]
Logo: The Game Catchers. The Game Catchers logo features text over a yellow circle with a yellow ring around it. The word “The” is purple with a white outline. 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, “Catch the Sponge.” “Written by Tea Orsi.”
A voice reads, ‘CATCH THE SPONGE!’
The Game Catchers colourful headquarters has a large telescope and colourful tubes at the top. In the headquarters, Nina sits on the floor and spins a pinwheel. Kate pushes a dump truck. Boxy and Pigi bounce a ball back and forth.
[Playful music plays, clicking, thumps]
Somewhere, Dino shouts, OW, OW, OW!
Nina says, I'M HEARING
A STRANGE NOISE.
DO YOU THINK IT'S MR. MUSTACHE
WHO'S FOUND A NEW PLANET?
Dino shouts, OW, OW, OW!
Boxy and Kate say, NO, IT'S DINO!
[Pigi coos]
Dino shouts, OW, OW, OW!
Dino plays with a ball attached to a paddle. The ball bounces off his nose.
[Boings, Dino grumbles]
Mr. Moustache asks, WHAT'S THAT NOISE?
Nina, Kate and Boxy say, IT'S DINO!
[Pigi coos, cymbals crash]
Dino complains, THIS TOY DOESN'T WORK.
Mr. Moustache says, YOU HAVE
A FUNNY WAY TO USE IT!
[He chuckles]
Mr. Moustache says, NOW, COME ON,
I FOUND A NEW GAME PLANET.
Soon, they stand by the machine. A white planet with white bubbles on it appears on the computer monitor.
[Happy music plays, beeping, children giggle]
Nina says, WOW, SOAP BUBBLES
AND CHILDREN'S LAUGHTER!
Mr. Moustache says, THESE ARE GAME TRACES!
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 reindeer riding in a sleigh to drive past. Holiday lights tangled in the reindeer’s antlers wave in space behind them. The light turns green.
[Tires screech, motor putters, jingle bells jangle, 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!
They arrive at the bubbly planet. Bubbles float up as the Game Catchers land.
[Gentle music plays, popping, whirring]
Boxy, Kate, Nina and Dino say, WOW!
Soon, they walk on the surface of the planet.
Boxy, Kate, Nina and Dino say, WOW, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
[Pigi coos, Nina laughs]
Nina shouts, BUBBLES!
Dino, Boxy, Nina and Kate cheer, YAY!
LET'S MAKE THEM POP!
The Game Catchers pop bubbles.
[Pigi coos, everyone laughs, happy music plays, bubble pop]
Dino bounces off a bubble and falls on the ground.
[Thud]
Dino says, OH!
[Laughter]
The Game Catchers walk on the surface of the planet.
They say, Oh. HUH?
[Popping, startled exclamations]
Three soap-dispenser children stand in a line. One child is blue with a grey pump on top of their head, one is green with a pink pump and long eyelashes. The last child is pink with a blue pump and long eyelashes.
The soap-dispenser children say, HI!
The green soap dispenser asks, WHO ARE YOU?
[Happy music plays]
Nina says, HI! WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS.
Boxy says, AND WE GO FROM PLANET
TO PLANET...
Kate says, TO LEARN...
[Pigi coos]
Kate, Boxy and Nina say, DINO!
Dino stands in a bubble.
[Muffled laughter]
[Bubble pops]
Dino shouts, NEW GAMES!
[Soap-dispenser children laugh]
The green soap dispenser says,
WELCOME TO OUR PLANET.
WE ALSO LOVE PLAYING.
Nina asks, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE GAME?
[Birds chirp]
The pink soap dispenser says, PASS THE SPONGE.
Nina asks, WOW! CAN WE PLAY TOGETHER?
The blue soap dispenser says, OF COURSE.
Boxy, Nina, Kate and Dino cheer, YAY!
[Pigi coos, energetic music plays]
The green soap dispenser says, FIRST OF ALL,
YOU NEED TO SPLIT UP INTO TWO TEAMS.
Nina, Boxy and the blue and green soap dispenser s are on one team. Pigi, Kate, the pink soap dispenser and Dino are on the second team.
The green soap dispenser narrates, AND LINE UP.
EACH TEAM TAKES ONE SPONGE.
Pigi and the blue soap dispenser each catch a sponge.
[Slide whistle, energetic music continues, water splashes]
The green soap dispenser narrates,
THEN, YOU PLACE THE BASIN
THAT'S FULL OF WATER
AT THE START OF EACH ROW,
AND THE EMPTY ONE AT THE END.
THE FIRST ONE IN LINE SOAKS
THE SPONGE IN THE BASIN
AND THEN PASSES IT
OVER THEIR HEAD
TO THE PLAYER BEHIND HIM.
[Water splashes, the pink soap dispenser chuckles]
The pink soap dispenser says, I'M GETTING A SHOWER!
[Water splashes]
The green soap dispenser narrates, AND
CONTINUES THAT WAY...
[Whoosh]
Boxy says, I'LL GET IT!
Boxy pulls a yellow rubber ducky out of his open box top.
[Rustling, energetic music continues, squeak]
The green soap dispenser narrates,
...UNTIL THE SPONGE REACHES
THE LAST PERSON IN LINE.
Nina says, OH, WHAT'S THIS?
Boxy says, OOPS, SORRY.
[Water splashes]
The green soap dispenser narrates,
THE LAST PERSON IN LINE
SQUEEZES THE SPONGE
OVER THE BASIN.
THE FIRST TEAM TO FILL THE
BASIN AT THE END OF THE LINE
AND EMPTY THE ONE AT THE
START WINS!
[Bubbling, squishing]
Dino says, I CAN SQUEEZE IT...
SUPER, ULTRA STRONG! WHOA!
The sponge slips out of Dino’s hands and falls into a hole filled with water.
[Slide whistle, splash, gentle music plays]
Kate, Nina Dino, Boxy and the soap- dispenser children say, OH NO!
Kate asks, WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
WHERE IS IT GONE?
The pink soap dispenser says, INTO A CANAL.
THERE'S LOTS OF THEM UNDERGROUND.
THAT'S WHERE THE WATER FLOWS.
[Water bubbles]
The blue soap dispenser groans, OH... NOW
WHAT DO WE DO? WE HAVEN'T GOT
ANY MORE SPONGES.
[Pigi coos]
Kate says, GOOD IDEA.
I'LL GET IT BACK!
Kate stretches her arm into the hole.
[Water splashes, slide whistle, upbeat music plays, Kate grunts]
Kate says, NO, THE HOLE'S TOO DEEP.
Dino suggests, OH, THEN LET'S TRY
TO GET RID OF THE WATER.
AND THAT WAY, WE CAN SEE
WHERE THE SPONGES ARE.
Boxy says, GOOD IDEA, TRY WITH THIS.
Boxy gives Dino a ladle.
[Tink]
Dino says, THANKS. I'LL WORK SUPER FAST!
Dino ladles water out of the hole. He drops the ladle and lies down.
[Upbeat music plays, splashing, grunting, clink]
Dino says, I CAN'T DO IT.
[Pigi coos]
Kate asks, WHAT NOW?
[Pigi coos, water splashes, upbeat music plays]
The green soap dispenser says, YES!
ALL THE WATER IN THE CANALS
COMES FROM THAT FAUCET.
[Water splashes]
Kate says, LET'S TURN IT OFF!
The green soap dispenser says,
BUT IT'S TOO HIGH FOR US.
[Kate giggles]
Kate says, NOT FOR ME.
Kate stretches her arms and grabs a lever on top of the faucet and pulls it down.
[Green soap dispenser gasps, squeak, water stops splashing]
Everyone says, AH...
Water drains from the underground canals.
[Bubbling, cheering]
Soon, the children stand by the hole in the ground. A pile of sponges lies at the bottom of the hole.
Dino asks, WOW, IS THAT WHERE
ALL OF YOUR SPONGES GO?
[Green soap dispenser giggles, happy music plays softly]
The green soap dispenser says,
WE'RE ALWAYS LOSING THEM.
Boxy says, HA! DON'T WORRY,
I'VE GOT JUST WHAT WE NEED.
Boxy pulls a fishing rod out of his open box top.
Boxy says, HERE!
[Rustling, Pigi coos]
Pigi lowers the fishing line into the hole and hooks the sponge.
[Upbeat music plays, birds chirp, cooing, slide whistle]
More sponges pile up on the ground.
[Squelching]
Nina says, AMAZING!
Boxy asks, SHALL WE GET BACK
TO PLAY?
[Cheering, Pigi coos]
Pigi dips a purple sponge in water and passes it to Kate.
[Energetic music plays, water splashes, slide whistle]
Kate extends her arm over her teammates and squeezes the sponge over the basin.
[Slide whistle, laughing, water splashes]
Nina says, HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR.
[Slide whistle, energetic music continues]
Kate says, OOPS, SORRY.
A sponge slips out of Nina’s hands.
[Giggling, rustling, slide whistle]
Nina says, OH!
The sponge lands on Dino’s head. He squeeze Nina’s green sponge and his own purple sponge into his basin.
[Squelch, laughing, water splashes]
[Energetic music continues, water splashes]
Dino says, GIVE ME! GIVE ME!
[Slide whistle]
The purple sponge lands on Dino’s head and covers him with water. He squeezes the nearly dry sponge over his basin.
[Water drips]
Dino says, OH... RATS.
[Boxy’s team laughs, water splashes]
Boxy, Nina and the blue and green soap dispensers cheer, HURRAY!
[Cheering, clapping, laughing]
The Game Catchers fly back to their headquarters.
[Playful music plays, whooshing, chiming]
In the headquarters, Kate and Dino stand close to Mr. Moustache and the computer. Nina, Boxy and Pigi sit on the floor.
[Typing, upbeat music plays]
Kate says, OUR FRIENDS SHOWED US
A REALLY FUN GAME!
Boxy says, AND WE ALSO FISHED OUT
THE SPONGES!
[Mr. Moustache chuckles]
Mr. Moustache says, GOOD JOB.
HERE COMES THE GAME SPHERE.
The claw picks up an empty game sphere and it fills with pink light. Flashbacks from the game show inside the game sphere.
[Whirring, triumphant music plays, clicking]
The game sphere rolls out of the machine and Dino picks it up. He holds it triumphantly above his head.
[Laughter]
In the game archive, Dino puts the game sphere on a shelf.
[Grunt, clank]
Mr. Moustache says ANOTHER GAME
FOR OUR COLLECTION.
EXCELLENT JOB, GAME CATCHERS.
Kate, Nina, Boxy and Dino cheer, YEAH!
[Pigi coos, playful music plays]
