The Game Catchers colourful headquarters has a large telescope and colourful tubes at the top. Inside, Mr. Moustache types on the computer keyboard. Nina, Kate and Boxy sit on the floor and watch him work. Pigi stands to Mr. Moustache’s left.
[Playful music plays]
[Typing, beeping, Pigi coos, Mr. Moustache laughs]
Mr. Moustache says, OH, YES.
OF COURSE.
I'M LOOKING FOR A GAME PLANET,
BUT I'VE TURNED ON
THE AUTOMATIC FINDER
AND WHILE WE WAIT,
I'VE GOT A SURPRISE!
Dino stands on a blue skateboard at the bottom of a tube.
Dino shouts, GO!
Dino moves up the tube and returns down a spiraling pink tube beside it.
[Whoosh, rattling, tires screech]
Dino skateboards back to the first tube.
Dino says, GO!
Dino moves up the tube and returns down a spiraling pink tube beside it. He
[Whoosh, rattling]
Dino says, OH, NO!
He skateboards out of a room.
Mr. Moustache carries a tray with colourful fruit on top. Each fruit has a straw poking out of the top.
Mr. Moustache says, JUICE APPLES FOR EVERYONE!
Dino skateboards towards Mr. Moustache.
[Dino screams]
Mr. Moustache says, OH!
[Dino screams]
Boxy, Kate and Nina say, YIKES!
[Pigi coos]
Dino hits Mr. Moustache.
[Crash]
Mr. Moustache shouts, OH!
Juice apples fall into Pigi, Nina, Kate and Boxy’s hands. They smile.
[Slide whistles]
Nina says, AH!
Boxy says, AH!
Mr. Moustache sits on the floor with Dino lying on the floor behind him. Mr. Moustache catches the tray in one hand and a juice apple in the other. A juice apple rolls past him on Dino’s skateboard.
[Slide whistle, laughing]
[Finder beeps]
Kate asks, HEAR THAT?
Mr. Moustache GOOD JOB, AUTOMATIC FINDER!
[Cheerful music plays]
The computer screen shows tall trees on an alien planet.
Mr. Moustache says, OH! IT'S MUSIC.
THAT'S A GAME TRACE.
THIS IS DEFINITELY
A GAME PLANET.
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 space train to zoom past and the light turns green.
[Tires screech, 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 to a green planet with tall trees scattered across the surface. They land on grass.
[Laughing, tires screech]
Boxy, Dino, Kate and Nina say, OH!
[Pigi coos]
The Game Catchers walk and meet three alien children. A pink alien wears a purple tunic and has yellow, purple and blue leaves on their head. An orange Cyclops wears a green tunic and has red, purple and teal leaves on their head. A green alien wears a red tunic and has teal, orange and blue leaves on their head.
[Rustling, birds chirp, gentle music plays]
The pink alien child says, HI! I'M ULI.
The orange alien child says, I'M TULI.
The green alien child says, AND I'M BEN.
Nina says, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!
Boxy says, AND WE GO FROM PLANET
TO PLANET...
Kate says, TO LEARN...
[Pigi coos]
Dino balances on his tummy on top of a yellow rock.
[Dino laughs]
Nina, Boxy and Kate say, DINO!
He slides off the rock.
[Slide whistle]
Dino says, NEW GAMES!
Uli says, HOW NICE!
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE GAMES
AND OUR FAVOURITE IS CALLED
GUESS WHO?
Tuli asks, WANT TO PLAY WITH US?
Nina, Boxy, Kate and Dino cheer, YEAH!
[Pigi coos]
Tuli says, IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
Ben ties a blue sash around Uli’s head and covers Uli’s eyes.
[Upbeat music plays]
Tuli says, FIRST, YOU BLINDFOLD
THE OTHER PERSON WHOSE TURN
IT IS AND SHE HAS TO GUESS WHO
SOMEONE IS.
Nina runs to Uli and stands in front of them.
[Chiming, upbeat music continues]
Uli says, HMM...
THIS IS THE MOUTH.
THESE ARE EARS.
HERE'S THE NOSE, EYES
AND A HORN!
YOU'RE NINA!
Nina says, YOU'RE RIGHT!
Uli says, NOW, IT'S YOUR TURN TO GUESS.
Nina wears the sash over her eyes. Tuli stands in front of her.
[Rustling]
Nina says, HMM... YOU'RE NOT PIGI
OR KATE, BECAUSE YOUR ARMS
ARE TOO SHORT, BUT I'D SAY YOU'RE B...
The ground shakes.
[Rumbling, soft music plays]
Children shout, WHOA!
Ben’s eye, mouth and eyebrows move on their face.
[Slide whistles]
Nina says, UH? WHAT'S GOING ON?
The eyes, mouths and eyebrows on the three alien children’s faces have moved. They shake their heads and their features move to the right place.
[Squeaking]
The ground shakes. The alien children’s eyes, mouth and eyebrows move on their faces. They shake their heads and their features move back to the right place.
[Rumbling, shouting, squeaking]
Tuli says, WE'VE BEEN HEARING
THIS GREAT BIG RUCKUS ALL DAY.
Ben says, WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
Uli says, AND EVERY TIME, OUR
FACES GET ALL MESSED UP.
The ground shakes. The alien children’s eyes, mouth and eyebrows move on their faces.
[Rumbling, shouting]
[Pigi coos]
Dino says, YOU ARE RIGHT, PIGI.
HOW CAN WE PLAY THE GAME
THIS WAY?
Kate says, WE NEED TO FIND OUT
WHAT THIS RUCKUS IS
AND MAKE IT STOP.
Boxy says, YEAH, LET'S FOLLOW THE NOISE!
UH, THAT WAY.
[Upbeat music plays, rumble]
The ground shakes and everyone falls on their bottom in front of trees. The alien children’s eyes, mouth and eyebrows move on their faces. Fruit falls off the trees and bounces on the children’s heads.
[Shouting, thumping, shouting]
They run on a rope bridge and the ground shakes. They bounce on the bridge.
Everyone exclaims, OH!
Soon, the children run down a hill. The ground shakes and they fall on their bottoms then slide down the hill.
Everyone shouts, WHOA!
[Laughing]
Kate says, THAT TREMOR WAS REALLY STRONG.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.
Boxy says, CHECK IT OUT!
Boxy points to a dancing blue giant with a pink nose. Each time the pink-nosed alien puts down a foot, the ground shakes and the children bounce.
[Thumping]
Everyone shouts, WHOA, WHOA!
Nina shouts, HI! OH...
[Thumping, Nina grunts, upbeat music plays]
Nina asks, UH, COULD YOU PLEASE
STOP DOING THAT?
IT'S MAKING US JUMP
INTO THE AIR!
The alien children’s features have moved into the wrong place.
Dino says, AND IT'S MESSING UP
THEIR FACES.
The alien children shake their heads and their features return to the right places.
[Squeaking]
The pink-nosed alien says, OH, I'M SO SORRY.
I KNOW. I'M A TERRIBLE DANCER.
Nina asks, YOU WERE DANCING?
The pink-nosed alien says, OH, YES!
I'VE BEEN INVITED TO A PARTY
ON PLANET DISCO!
BUT I'M NO GOOD AT DANCING.
[Pigi coos, birds chirp]
Dino says, THAT'S RIGHT, WE'LL HELP YOU!
Boxy says, SURE! THE FIRST THING
WE NEED IS A LITTLE MUSIC!
[Rattling, cheerful music plays]
The pink-nosed alien says, THANK YOU!
[The alien laughs]
The pink-nosed alien says, YOU'RE SO KIND.
[Gentle music plays]
Boxy reaches into his open box top and finds musical instruments.
[Objects clatter, slide whistles]
Boxy says, AH!
Nina waves her arms and dances. The other children play instruments.
[Rhythmic music plays]
Nina says, JUST FOLLOW THE MUSIC
AND DO THIS.
SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT!
SHAKE IT GOOD!
ONE FOOT HERE,
ONE FOOT THERE,
LIFT ONE ARM,
LIFT THE OTHER!
[The pink-nosed alien laughs
Nina says, CLAP YOUR HANDS,
ONE, TWO, THREE!
[Clapping]
The pink-nosed alien asks, HOW AM I DOING?
Nina says, TERRIFIC!
Dino says, EAT IT UP!
[Dino laughs]
The pink-nosed alien dances.
[Thumping, pink-nosed alien laughs]
The ground shakes and children fall on their bottoms. The features move on the faces of the alien children. They shake their heads and their features move back to the same place.
[Rumbling, squeaking, laughter]
Soon, the pink-nosed alien says, THANK YOU. NOW,
I'M READY FOR THE PARTY.
IN FACT, I BETTER RUN
OR I'LL BE LATE. GOODBYE!
[Happy music plays, thumping]
Nina, Kate, Dino and Boxy say, BYE-BYE! HAVE FUN!
[Pigi coos]
Dino cheers, HURRAY! NOW,
WE CAN PLAY GUESS WHO?
[Cheering]
Dino wears the sash over his eyes. He feels Ben’s face.
[Upbeat music plays]
Dino says, HMM. THE FACE, THE ARMS,
THE BELLY. AH! EASY. YOU'RE PIGI.
[Laughter]
Dino lifts the sash.
[Slide whistle]
Dino says, OH...
Later, Pigi wears the sash over his eyes. He touches Kate’s face and pulls on her arm. It extends and he pulls on the middle.
[Slide whistle, boing, Pigi coos, upbeat music continues]
Kate asks, HOW DID YOU GUESS SO QUICKLY?
Ben wears the sash and tickles Boxy.
[Boxy laughs, objects clatter]
Ben says, YOU'RE BOXY.
I HEARD THE STUFF
IN YOUR BOX RATTLING.
[Laughing]
The Game Catchers fly their spaceships back to their headquarters. Inside, Mr. Moustache enters information on his computer. The Game Catchers stand in the room and watch him.
[Whooshing, Popping, Chime, Pigi coos, typing, beeping, upbeat music plays quietly]
Nina says, YEAH! AND THEN,
THERE WAS THIS GIANT.
HE COULDN'T DANCE,
BUT HE HAD TO GO TO A PARTY!
HE LEARNED TO DANCE REALLY WELL.
Kate says, AND WE PLAYED GUESS WHO?
Boxy says, ONE OF THE CHILDREN
GUESSED WHO I WAS BECAUSE
I MADE MY STUFF RATTLE!
[Objects rattle, Mr. Moustache laughs]
Mr. Moustache says, A LOT OF FUN,
TO BE SURE!
OH, LOOK! HERE COMES
THE NEW GAME SPHERE.
The claw picks up an empty game sphere and it fills with peach light. Inside the sphere, a flashback of the children playing ‘Guess Who’ plays. The claw drops the game sphere into a tube.
[Whirring, triumphant music plays, pop]
Soon, the Game Catchers play instruments in the game archive.
[Laughter, happy music plays]
Nina shouts, MUSIC!
[Laughter]
Nina puts the game sphere on a shelf.
[Clunk]
Mr. Moustache says, ANOTHER GAME
FOR THE COLLECTION.
EXCELLENT JOB, GAME CATCHERS!
