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]

[Whooshing, chiming]

A voice reads, ‘THANKS TRUNKY!’

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.

[Soft music plays]

A bubble floats up and pops.

[Pop]

Dino, Nina and Boxy say, WOW!

[Pigi coos]

Kate blows a large bubble.

[Deep breath, Kate laughs]

Boxy says, OH!

Nina says, THESE BUBBLES ARE GIGANTIC!

[Plop]

Dino says, echoing, OH?

Nina says, HUH?

Dino stands inside a bubble.

Dino says, echoing, WOW!

He pushes against the side of the bubble.

[Grunting]

Dino says, HELP! I'M TRAPPED!

Pigi pops the bubble.

[Pop]

Dino says, OH!

[Laughter]

Mr. Moustache says, GAME CATCHERS,
COME QUICK!

I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND
A GAME PLANET!

[Cheering, cooing, upbeat music plays]

Mr. Moustache says, LOOK!

A bug with many legs has different coloured sections.
[Beeping]

Kate, Boxy, Dino and Nina say, WOW!

[Bug laughs]

Mr. Moustache says, AH, I WASN'T MISTAKEN.
EVEN THE CENTIMILLIPEDE'S
LAUGH MEANS THERE'S 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 black and white alien riding a penny-farthing bicycle to roll past. The light turns green.

[Tires screech, rattling wheels, bicycle bell dings, whirring]

[Rhythmic music plays]

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 towards a planet covered with trees and plants. They stand beside their spaceships and look up at the trees.

[Whirring, gentle music plays]

Kate exclaims, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
LOOK AT ALL THESE PLANTS!

[Rustling, birds chirp]

A brown monkey hangs from a tree by its tail. It drops down in front of Dino.

The monkey says, HI!

[Dino screams]

A pink monkey and a yellow monkey hang from the same branch.

The monkey says, WHO ARE YOU?

[Birds chirp, upbeat music plays]

Nina says, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!

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

Kate says, TO LEARN...

[Pigi coos, bush rustles]

Dino looks out over a bush.

Dino says, NEW GAMES!

The yellow monkey says, REALLY?
WE KNOW A REALLY FUN ONE!
IT'S CALLED JUMP AND SPIN!

The yellow monkey spins.

[Whoosh]

The pink monkey moves their tail in circles and the other two monkey jump over it.

[Whooshing]

The pink monkey says, IT'S EASY!
WHOEVER IS IT MAKES HIS TAIL
SPIN AROUND AND THE OTHERS
HAVE TO JUMP OVER IT!

IF THE TAIL HITS YOU,
YOU'RE OUT!

The tail hits the brown monkey.

[Buzzer, slide whistle, boing, upbeat music plays]

The pink monkey narrates, THE LAST
ONE STANDING IS THE WINNER!

[Laughing, clapping]

Kate, Nina, Boxy and Dino say, THAT'S FUN!

[Upbeat music continues]

The pink monkey says, NOW, YOU TRY.
DO YOU WANT TO SPIN YOUR TAIL
AROUND?

[Slide whistles]

Nina and Dino say, HMM...

[Pigi coos]

The brown monkey says, YOUR TAIL
WON'T WORK. DON'T WORRY,
YOU CAN ALSO USE A ROPE.

Boxy says, I'LL FIND ONE!

[Rustling]

Boxy takes a short piece of string out of his open box top.

Boxy says, OH, SORRY. THIS IS ALL I'VE GOT.

[Birds chirp]

Kate says, HMM... I'M SURE WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING IN THE JUNGLE.

The Game Catchers cheer, YAY!

[Playful music plays, rustling]

The Game Catchers walk beside bushes in the jungle. The monkeys swing from tree to tree beside the path.

Dino says, OH, HEY!
I FOUND A ROPE!

[Groans]

Dino pulls on an elephant’s trunk. The elephant follows him into a clearing.

Dino says, OH!

[Dino screams, monkeys laugh]

The brown monkey says, THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF. THE TRUNKY ISN'T
A DANGEROUS ANIMAL.

Dino says, WOW!

Nina says, OH, HE'S SO CUTE!

Nina hugs Trunky.

[Soft music plays, Trunky chuckles, everyone laughs]

Kate says, BUT WE STILL NEED
TO FIND A ROPE.

The Game Catchers say, BYE, TRUNKY!

[Pigi coos, rustling]

Trunky follows the Game Catchers and monkey.

[Rustling, soft music plays]

Boxy says, HMM, LET'S SEE HERE. HEY,
LOOK WHO'S BEEN FOLLOWING US!

Trunky licks Boxy.

[Slurp, upbeat music plays]

Trunky licks Pigi.

[Slurp, Pigi coos]

Trunky licks Nina.

[Rustling, slurp]

Nina says, OH, HI!

[She laughs, ding]

Nina says, NO! I'M TICKLISH. STOP!
OH, LOOK! THAT'S A CREEPER.

Nina points to a pink vine.

The brown monkey says, IT WOULD MAKE A PERFECT ROPE!

The pink monkey says, HMM, BUT HOW
CAN WE REACH IT? IT'S WAY TOO HIGH.

The brown monkey says, AND WE'RE STILL
NOT ABLE TO CLIMB THAT FAR.

Kate stretches her arms and cannot reach the vine.

[Slide whistle, gentle music plays]

Kate says, IT'S TOO HIGH FOR MY ARMS, TOO.

[Boing, Pigi coos]

Boxy says, I HAVE AN IDEA.

Boxy reaches into his open box top.

[Rustling]

Boxy says, AH!

Boxy pulls a long plank of lumber out of his box top.

Dino says, WHOA!

Soon, Boxy stands on one side of the plank. A rock is beneath the middle of the plank and the other end is up in the air.

Boxy says, DINO, JUMP ON THAT SIDE.

Dino says, OKAY!

[Yelling, whooshing, scream]

Boxy misses the creeper vine.

Kate and Nina catch Boxy.

[Triumphant notes play]

Boxy says, OH, NO!
I NEARLY HAD IT.

[Rustling]

Nina says, BUT IT WAS A REALLY COOL JUMP.

[Boxy sighs]

Boxy says, IF ONLY WE HAD A LADDER.

[Upbeat music plays, slide whistle]

Nina says, OH, MAYBE A CRANE?
OR AN ELEVATOR?
OR A TOWER?

Nina rises in the air as she speaks. She soon stands beside the creeper vine.

Nina says, HEY! WAIT!

Trunky stands on his hind legs and holds Nina up on his trunk.

[Nina laughs]

Nina says, OF COURSE!
A TRUNKY WILL DO THE TRICK.
THANK YOU!

Nina grabs the vine to use as a rope.

[Whoosh, upbeat music plays]

Everyone cheers, YAY!

[Pigi coos]

Nina says, HERE'S THE ROPE
FOR THE JUMP AND SPIN GAME!

Nina asks Trunky, DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH US?

[Trunky laughs]

Dino wears the rope tied around his waist and moves his hips to spin it.

[Upbeat music plays, Dino grunts, whooshing, cooing]

Kate says, AH! OH...

Players are eliminated from the game.

[Buzzing, dinging, Dino laughs]

Boxy cheers, I WON!

[Dino pants, upbeat music continues]

Boxy says, NOW, I GET TO BE IT!

Everyone cheers, YAY!

[Pigi coos, whooshing]

Kate says, OH!

Trunky sits on the end of the rope and Boxy flies into him.

[Cooing, thump, slide whistle]

Boxy says, OH.

[Boxy and Trunky laugh]

Nina gracefully leaps over the rope. Nina’s spinning makes Pigi dizzy.

[Whooshing, slide whistle, applause, cooing]

Boxy says, WELL DONE!

Kate shouts, WELL DONE!

Dino spins the rope and wraps it around himself.

[Dino grunts, whooshing, he laughs]

[Everyone laughs]

The Game Catchers fly back to their headquarters.

[Upbeat music plays, whooshing, chime]

Inside the headquarters, the claw picks up and empty game sphere and fills it with peach light. Flashbacks of the game play inside the sphere.

[Whirring, zapping, triumphant music plays]

Mr. Moustache says, AND HERE'S
ANOTHER GAME SPHERE
FOR OUR COLLECTION.

OH, GREAT JOB, GAME CATCHERS!

[Cheering]

Kate extends her arms and puts the game sphere on a high shelf in the game archive.

[Slide whistles, clunk]

Kate says, WE NEED TO PUT AWAY
THIS GAME SPHERE
THE SAME WAY TRUNKY WOULD.

AFTER ALL, IT WAS THANKS
TO HIM AND YOU THAT
WE LEARNED A NEW GAME!

[Cheering, Nina giggles]
