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, “The Sad Cloud.” “Written by Eleonora Fornasari.”

A voice reads, ‘THE SAD CLOUD.’

The Game Catchers colourful headquarters has a large telescope and colourful tubes at the top. Inside, Mr. Moustache types on his computer keyboard. Pigi, Boxy, Nina and Kate stand in a line watching him.

[Upbeat music plays, typing, beeping]

Mr. Moustache says, HMM,
WE ARE VERY CLOSE
TO FINDING ONE.

A toy yellow duck on wheels rolls past Mr. Moustache’s back.

[Pigi coos, rattling]

Kate says, OH!

A red toy car rolls past the line of Game Catchers and Mr. Moustache.

They says, OH?

A ball bounces past them.

[Thumping]

Boxy says, HUH? WHAT'S GOING ON?

[Dino laughs]

Kate, Nina, Boxy and Pigi walk into a room. Dino sits on the floor with a pile of toys.

Kate, Nina and Boxy say, HUH?

Dino lets go of a dump truck and it travels up a tube. It rolls out the bottom.

[Dino laughs, whooshing, upbeat music plays, horn beeps]

Kate says, OH!

[Pigi coos, train whistles]

Kate says, DINO, COME AND SEE
THE PLANET, QUICK!

Dino says, OH, SORRY!

[Typing, beeping, Mr. Moustache chuckles]

Mr. Moustache says, OH, OH! HERE WE ARE.

[Children laugh]

Nina says, OH, THERE ARE CHILDREN
PLAYING!

Mr. Moustache asks, WELL, 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 an alien wearing earphones to ride a hover board past. The light turns green.

[Tires screech, futuristic whirring, 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 towards a green planet with large grey rocks. They land behind tall trees and walk on the green surface of the planet.

[Gentle music plays, whirring, fluttering]

Boxy says, IT'S SO GREEN, HERE!

The Game Catchers walk beside a green river.

[Water flows]

They exclaim WHOA!

The three alien children say, HI!

Kate, Nina, Boxy and Dino say, HI!

[Pigi coos]

The smallest child has fluffy white hair. The next child resembles a red rose and has a green stem with leaves on their head and ballet slippers on their feet. The tallest child resembles a purple eggplant. They have green leaves on a stem on their head and wear ballet slippers. They stand in front of a small waterfall.

[Water flows]

The red rose-like child says, WE'RE ROSE, BETTY AND POPPY.

The rose-like child introduces herself as ‘Rose’. Betty is the purple eggplant-like child and Poppy is the white-haired child.

Rose asks, WHO ARE YOU?

[Playful music plays]

Nina says, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!

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

Kate says, TO LEARN...

[Pigi coos]

Dino tries to pull his hand out of a green plant.

[Dina grunts]

Dino says, HEY!

[Squelching liquid]

Dino pulls his slimy hand free.

Nina, Kate and Boxy say, DINO!

Dino shakes slime off his hand.

[Whooshing]

Dino says, OH! NEW GAMES!

Betty says, COOL! SO, MAYBE YOU
WANT TO PLAY OUR FAVOURITE
GAME WITH US. IT'S CALLED HIGH
UP TAG.

[Cheering, cooing, upbeat music plays]

Betty says, THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY.
WHOEVER'S "IT" HAS TO CHASE
AFTER THE OTHERS AND TAG THEM.

Poppy chases the other players.

Betty narrates, BUT IF YOU FIND
A HIGH PLACE TO STAND ON...

Kate extends her arms and pulls herself up on a tree branch.

[Slide whistle, tires screech]

Kate says, OH!

Betty narrates, ...YOU CAN'T BE TAGGED.
IF YOU ARE TAGGED, THEN IT'S YOUR
TURN TO BE "IT".

Boxy jumps onto a tree trunk and slides down to the ground.

[Tires screech, squeaking, upbeat music continues]

Boxy says, OH!

Poppy says, GOTCHA! NOW, YOU'RE IT.

[Thunder rumbles, rain patters]

Poppy says, OH, IT'S RAINING.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

Everyone runs and hides under a large rock.

[Panting, cooing]

Kate says, YOU'RE RIGHT, PIGI.
IT'S THAT CLOUD.
IT'S CRYING A REAL DOWNPOUR.

[Cloud sobs, rain patters]

Nina asks, WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
DOES YOUR TUMMY HURT?
OR ARE YOU SAD?

[Sad music plays]

The cloud says, NO, MY TUMMY
DOESN'T HURT. I'M CRYING BECAUSE...
I DON'T KNOW WHY!

[Sobs, rain patters]

Nina says, OH, YOU CAN'T BE SAD.
YOU'RE SO SPECIAL.

The cloud repeats, SPECIAL?

The grey storm cloud stops raining.

[Upbeat music plays]

The cloud asks, HOW?

Nina says, BECAUSE, WELL, YOU CAN
CHANGE SHAPE, CAN'T YOU?

Dino says, YOU CAN CHANGE SHAPE? ME TOO!
LOOK AT ME TURN INTO A LION!

[Roars]

The cloud says, WATCH WHAT I CAN DO.

The cloud changes into the shape of an umbrella.

[Plop, cloud giggles]

Everyone says, WOW!

[Pigi coos, slide whistle]

The cloud turns into a train shape.

Everyone says, WHOA!

The cloud changes into a cloud shape.

[Slide whistle]

Everyone says, WOW!

Nina says, YOU'RE AMAZING!

The cloud says, BUT IT'S NOT TRUE!

The cloud changes into a cloud shape and turns dark grey.

[Sad music plays, thunder rumbles, rain patters]

The cloud says, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO TURN INTO A LION!

[Dino laughs]

Dino says, OH, BUT YOU CAN MAKE
WONDERFUL PUDDLES!

Dino dances in a puddle.

[Puddle splashes]

The cloud says, BUT I DIDN'T WANT
TO MAKE A PUDDLE!

[Cloud sobs, rain patters harder]

Boxy says, I THINK I'VE GOT AN IDEA
THAT'LL GET HIM TO STOP.

Later, Kate holds a blue and yellow umbrella over Boxy.

[Rain patters]

Boxy says, WATCH THIS, LITTLE CLOUD.

Boxy juggles balls.

[Whooshing, upbeat music plays softly]

The cloud says, WHOA!

Boxy says, OH, OH!

The balls fall into Boxy’s open box top. He sheepishly rubs his head.

[Thumping, Boxy chuckles, scratching]

[Sniffling]

The cloud says, I DON'T LIKE
THIS GAME ANYMORE.

[Sobs, rain patters, Pigi coos]

Kate says, YOU'RE RIGHT, PIGI.
IF I'M SAD AND THEY SING ME
A SONG, IT USUALLY GOES AWAY.

GIVE IT A TRY!

[Pigi coos]

[Happy music plays, Pigi coos a melody, cloud laughs, cloud hums]

Nina cheers, BRAVO!

[Children laugh]

Dino says, YOU'VE TURNED ALL WHITE!
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT SAD
ANYMORE?

[Birds chirp]

The cloud says, MM-HMM. YES! IT'S ALL GONE.

THANKS! OH, AND LOOK!
IT'S NOT QUITE A LION,
BUT ALMOST!

The cloud changes into a cat.

[Laughter]

Betty asks, SO, SHOULD WE GET
BACK TO THE GAME?

The children cheer, YEAH!

[Pigi coos, energetic music plays]

Soon Betty chases Dino.

[Dino laughs]

Dino says, OH!
OH, OH!

Dino stands on a pink rock. It moves and a frowning turtle stands. Dino falls off the shell.

[Slide whistle, Dino gasps softly]

[Betty pants]

Betty tags Dino.

Betty says, GOT YOU!

Dino chases Nina. She notices a butterfly and turns to follow it.

[Dino laughs, tires screech]

Nina says, OH, IT'S SO CUTE!

Nina and Dino run into each other.

[Thud, laughing, tap]

Dino tags Nina.

Dino says, GOT YOU!

Nina says, OH, NO!

[Laughter, cloud claps]

The Game Catchers fly back to their headquarters.

[Upbeat music plays, whooshing, chiming]

In the headquarters, the Game Catchers gather close to the computer. Mr. Moustache types.

[Typing, beeping, upbeat music plays softly]

Nina says, WE WANTED TO PLAY,
BUT A SAD CLOUD KEPT
CRYING ON US REALLY HARD.

Kate says, SO, WE TRIED
TO MAKE HIM LAUGH!

Dino says, AND SO, WE WERE FINALLY
ABLE TO PLAY HIGH UP TAG,
WHICH WAS SUPER FUN!

[Mr. Moustache laughs]

Mr. Moustache says, WELL DONE.
OH, LOOK! HERE COMES
THE GAME SPHERE.

The claw picks up a game sphere and it fills with green light. Inside the sphere, flashbacks of the game play.

[Whirring, triumphant music plays]

The game sphere rolls out of the machine and Pigi picks it up.

[Cooing]

In the game archive, Pigi puts the game sphere up on a shelf.

[Coos a melody, happy music plays, Mr. Moustache chuckles]

Mr. Moustache says, YET ANOTHER
GAME FOR OUR COLLECTION.
GOOD JOB, GAME CATCHERS!

[Cheering, cooing]

[Upbeat music plays]
