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 Right Pebble.” “Written by Tea Orsi.”

A voice reads, ‘THE RIGHT PEBBLE!’

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.

[Playful music plays, Dino laughs]

In the headquarters, Dino holds a stuffy over his head and runs.

Dino cheers, HOORAY!

Dino stops and picks up a pair of eyeglasses.

[Typing]

Mr. Moustache says, HMM, I HAD
FOUND THE PLANET WITH GAME TRACES,
BUT NOW, THERE'S A SPACE STORM
AND I CAN'T SEE IT ANYMORE.

Kate, Nina and Boxy say, STORM?

Mr. Moustache says, YES, AWFUL AND FOGGY!

[Kate gasps]

Kate says, MR. MOUSTACHE, YOU'RE
NOT WEARING YOUR GLASSES.

Mr. Moustache blinks.

[Mr. Moustache laughs, dinging]

Mr. Moustache says, YOU'RE RIGHT!
THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T SEE WELL.

[He laughs]

Mr. Moustache asks, WHERE ARE THEY?

Dino holds the eyeglasses in front of his stuffy’s face.

[Dino laughs, gasping, Kate laughs, upbeat music plays]

Kate says, DINO! THOSE ARE
MR. MOUSTACHE'S GLASSES.

Dino says, OH, YEAH! OH,
I DIDN'T NOTICE IT.
SORRY, MR. MOUSTACHE.

Mr. Moustache says, OH, NO PROBLEM.
AND THANKS FOR FINDING THEM, DINO.

I CAN SEE CLEARLY, NOW!
LET'S TRY AGAIN.

[Typing, beeping]

Mr. Moustache says, OH, LOOK AT THIS PLANET!

[Children laugh, static buzzes]

Mr. Moustache says, IT'S THE SOUND
OF CHILDREN LAUGHING!
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 muscular alien using a skipping rope to skip past. 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 arrive at a mostly blue planet with a round green landmass near the top. They fly towards the planet’s surface.

[Gentle music plays, whooshing, laughing]

Nina says, IT'S SUCH A CUTE PLANET!

The Game Catchers walk across green grass. They stop in front of three alien children who look like piles of grey rocks. The tallest child has a red pebble on top of three grey pebbles on their head. The next child has long eyelashes and a red pebble on top of two grey pebbles on their head. The last child has a dark grey pebble on top of two pebbles on their head.

[Rustling, Nina gasps]

The tall alien says, HELLO!

Nina says, HELLO! WE'RE THE
GAME CATCHERS.

[Gentle music plays]

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

Kate says, TO LEARN...

[Pigi coos]

Boxy says, HUH!

Dino reaches up and gently touches a blue rocky flower petal.

Boxy, Nina and Kate say, DINO!

The rock petal falls.

[Clatter]

Dino says, OH!

[He chuckles]

He says, …NEW GAMES!

The alien children say, WOW!

The tall alien says, I'M RICK. SHE'S ROCK.

The child with the dark grey pebble says, AND I'M COBBLE.
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY.

Kate says, THAT'S WONDERFUL!

[Pigi coos enthusiastically, happy music plays]

Nina, Boxy, Kate and Dino say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Pigi coos]

Nina says, LET'S CELEBRATE WITH A GAME!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE?

Cobble says, "FRUIT-EATING WOLF"!
IT'S SO MUCH FUN.

Rick says, BUT FIRST, WE NEED
TO LOOK FOR A PEBBLE FOR COBBLE.

ON EVERY BIRTHDAY, WE GET
A NEW ONE TO ADD TO OUR HEADS!

[Rattling pebbles]

Cobble says, LOOK AT HOW MANY
MR. CLIFF'S GOT.
HE'S REALLY OLD.

[Pebbles rattle, dignified music plays]

Mr. Cliff grumbles, I MAY BE OLD, HMM...
BUT I'M IN FINE SHAPE!

Cobble says, I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE
A RED PEBBLE LIKE RICK AND
ROCK HAVE!

[Happy music plays]

Nina asks, WHERE ARE THESE PEBBLES?

Nina says, THEY ARE THE PETALS
OF OUR ROCK FLOWERS.

Nina says, LET'S LOOK FOR A
RED PEBBLE.

The Game Catchers run in a field of rock flowers and look at the petals.

[Cheerful music plays]

Dino says, IT ISN'T RED, BUT IT'S REALLY
PRETTY, DON'T YOU THINK?

Dino places a blue pebble on Cobble’s head. Cobble looks into a mirror held by Boxy.

[Pebbles rattle]

Cobble says, YES, BUT I WANTED
A RED ONE.

Nina asks, HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
IT'S SO CUTE!

Nina puts the pebble on Cobble’s head. Cobble looks into the mirror.

[Pebbles rattle]

Cobble says, HMM, IT'S PRETTY,
BUT IT'S YELLOW.

Kate says, WE CAN'T FIND ANY
RED ONES.

[Pigi coos]

Pigi puts a green rock on Cobbles head.

[Pebbles rattle]

Cobble says, WOW, I LOVE THIS ONE! OH...

[Sad music plays]

Nina asks, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU LIKE IT ANYMORE?

[Pebbles rattle]

Cobble says, NO, I LIKE IT A LOT,
BUT IT'S GREEN.

IT'S NOT THE SAME
AS MY FRIENDS' PEBBLES.

Kate says, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH BEING DIFFERENT.

LOOK AT HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE!
I'VE GOT REALLY LONG ARMS.

Kate extends her arms and tickles Dino and Pigi.

[Slide whistle, exciting music plays, laughing, cooing]

Kate says, PIGI HAS SHORT WINGS,
BUT HE CAN FLUTTER.

[Pigi coos]

Nina says, I'VE GOT A REALLY CUTE HORN.

Boxy says, AND I'VE GOT A BOX FULL
OF SURPRISES!

A megaphone falls out of Boxy’s top and Dino catches it.

[Rustling, slide whistle]

Dino says, OH, I CAN ROAR!

[Roars into megaphone, coughs]

[Cobble laughs]

Dino, Kate, Boxy and Nina shout,
BEING DIFFERENT IS GREAT!

[Pigi coos]

Cobble says, THEN, I'LL KEEP
THE GREEN PEBBLE.

Everyone cheers, HOORAY!

Dino says, AND NOW, LET'S PLAY
"FRUIT-EATING WOLF"!

[Upbeat music plays]

The children walk on a green field.

Rick says, TO PLAY, YOU NEED A BIG
SPACE TO RUN AND A SAFE HOUSE
WHERE THE WOLF CAN'T GET YOU.

A tree with orange leaves is the safe house.

Rick narrates, THIS SMALL TREE
IS THE SAFE HOUSE.

WHOEVER PLAYS THE WOLF
WALKS AWAY.

Kate volunteers, I'LL BE THE WOLF!

[She laughs]

Rick narrates, THEN, THE OTHERS
CHOOSE A FRUIT WITHOUT BEING
HEARD BY THE WOLF.

[Whispering, cooing]

As children name a fruit, it appears over their heads.

Boxy says, I'M AN APPLE.

[Bloop]

Rick says, I'M AN ORANGE.

[Bloop]

Nina says, I'M A STRAWBERRY.

[Bloop]

Dino says, I'M A COCONUT, HMM!

[Bloop]

Rick narrates, THEN, IT'S TIME
TO ASK THE WOLF WHAT FRUIT
SHE WANTS TO EAT.

[Upbeat music continues]

Kate says, I'M THE FRUIT-EATING WOLF!

Boxy, Dino, Nina, Rick, Rock and Cobble ask,
AND WHAT FRUIT DO YOU
WANT TO EAT?

[Pigi coos]

Rick narrates, IF THE WOLF GUESSES
YOUR FRUIT...

Kate says, I WANT... A STRAWBERRY!

Rick narrates, YOU'VE GOT TO RUN!

Nina says, I'M A STRAWBERRY!

Rick narrates, AND GET TO THE
SAFE HOUSE AT THE SMALL TREE
BEFORE SHE GETS TO YOU,
OR YOU'LL BE THE NEXT WOLF.

Kate extends her arms and grabs Nina.

[Slide whistle]

Kate says, GOT YOU!

[Laughing]

Kate says, NOW, YOU'RE THE WOLF!

Nina guesses, BLACKBERRY!
RASPBERRY? BANANA!

Dino says, I'M A BANANA!

[He laughs, Nina laughs]

Dino says, BANANAS ARE SUPER FAST. OH!

Dino trips over a rock and slides to the safe house.

[Slide whistle, rustling, boing, upbeat music continues]

Dino says, BUT A LITTLE BIT SLIPPERY.

Rick says, DINO'S SAFE!

Nina says, I'M STILL THE WOLF!

[Imitates wolf howl]

[Everyone laughs]

Later, the Game Catchers fly back to their headquarters.

[Energetic music plays, whooshing, ding]

In the headquarters, the Game Catchers gather around Mr. Moustache. He types on the computer keyboard.

[Typing, beeping]

Boxy says, WE PLAYED A SUPER FUN GAME,
"FRUIT-EATING WOLF"!

[Happy music plays quietly]

Dino says, TO ESCAPE FROM THE WOLF,
YOU NEED TO RUN AS FAST AS...
A BANANA!

[Mr. Moustache laughs]

Mr. Moustache says, HOW FUNNY.
OH, HERE'S THE GAME SPHERE.

The claw picks up an empty game sphere and it fill with green light. Flashbacks of the Game Catchers and Rick, Rock and Cobble playing “Fruit-Eating Wolf” appear inside the game sphere. The claw drops the game sphere into a tube and it rolls out of the machine.

[Whirring, triumphant music plays, chiming, whirring, Nina screams excitedly]

[Everyone laughs]

Soon, Boxy puts the game sphere on a shelf in the game archive.

[Humming, clank, upbeat music plays]

Mr. Moustache says, ANOTHER
WONDERFUL GAME FOR
OUR COLLECTION.

GOOD JOB, GAME CATCHERS!

The Game Catchers cheer, YAY!
