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]

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.

[Whooshing, chiming]

Text reads, “One Hot Play.” “Written by Tea Orsi.”

A voice reads, ‘ONE HOT PLAY.’

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]

Kate’s arm extends to the top of a tree. She holds a red and white spray bottle and spritzes the treetop.

[Slide whistle, spraying water]

Kate and Nina sing,
LET'S SEE IF THE PLANTS
ARE GROWING,
THROUGH THE GARDEN
WE ARE WATERING.

Boxy and Dino sing, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.

[Pigi coos, water sprays]

Mr. Moustache says, GAME CATCHERS!

Dino says, HUH?

Dino turns and sprays Mr. Moustache with a water hose.

[Water sprays]

Mr. Moustache says, OH!

[Trumpet plays wah wah wah]

Dino says, OH! SORRY, MR. MOUSTACHE!

Mr. Moustache says, DON'T WORRY.
I NEEDED A LITTLE REFRESHING.

[Shaking]

Mr. Moustache says, GUESS WHAT?
I FOUND A NEW GAME PLANET!

[Cheering, cooing]

Inside, the computer screen shows an icy planet.

[Whirring, beeping]

Mr. Moustache says,
LOOK, IT'S SNOWING!
AND IF THERE'S SNOW,
THERE ARE GAMES TO PLAY.
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 blue rabbit to drive a carrot-shaped spaceship past. The light turns green.

[Tires screech, motor hums, 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 their spaceship to the surface of the planet. They wear scarves and mittens. Pigi wears a touque and Nina wears earmuffs.

[Whirring, gentle music plays, wind gusts]

Nina says, OH, IT'S COLD!
BUT IT'S SO CUTE HERE!

[Pigi coos, happy music plays]

Dino says, YES, PIGI! LET'S PLAY
WITH THE SNOWBALLS!

[Laughing]

[Snowball garbles]

Dino says, HUH?

A Cyclops snowball frowns at Dino.

[Garbling]

The frowning snowball points to a different faceless snowball.

Dino says, HA! THIS ONE'S PERFECT!

[Whoosh, rustling]

Boxy says, OH! GOOD THROW!

[Laughing, whoosh, Pigi coos]

A snowball rolls to the feet of a blue alien with two long antennae. Beside the blue alien stands a yellow alien and a red alien. All three wear heavy winter coats, snow pants and boots.

The blue alien says, WELL, HI! WHO ARE YOU?

[Gentle music plays]

Nina says, HI! WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!

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

[Pigi coos]

Kate says, ...TO LEARN... OH!

Dino struggles and pulls his tongue off a snowball.

[Grunting]

Dino says, muffled, UH, NEW GAMES!

[Snap, he laughs]

The yellow alien says, I'M ICY, AND THIS
IS FROSTY AND FREEZIE.

Icy indicates that the blue alien is Frosty and Freezie is the red alien.

Icy continues, AND WE ALSO LOVE
TO PLAY GAMES. IT WARMS US UP!

Dino says, OH! WHAT'S YOUR
FAVOURITE GAME?

Freezie says, SACK RACES! DO YOU
WANT TO PLAY WITH US?

The Game Catchers cheer, YAY!

[Pigi coos]

[Energetic music plays]

Freezie narrates, AFTER WE MAKE
TWO TEAMS, EACH TEAM LINES UP
BEHIND THE STARTING LINE.

Frosty, Boxy, Nina and Icy are on the first team. Freezie, Pigi, Kate and Dino are the second team.

[Dinging, energetic music continues, rustling]

Freezie narrates, THEN THE PLAYERS
WHO ARE FIRST IN LINE
PUT THEIR LEGS IN THE SACKS
AND HOP WITH THEIR FEET
TOGETHER UNTIL THEY REACH
THE END OF THE LINE.

Dino chants, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP!
MY SACK IS THE FASTEST!
AND I'M REALLY WARMING UP!
WHOA, WHOA! OH.

Dino falls forward and lands on the snow. He moves forward like an inch worm.

[Struggling grunts, thump, energetic music plays]

Freezie narrates, WHEN YOU REACH
THE END OF THE LINE,
YOU REMOVE THE SACK,
AND RUN BACK.

THEN YOU GIVE THE SACK
TO THE SECOND PERSON IN
THE ROW WHO CONTINUES
THE RACE BY JUMPING ALONG!

Nina says, IF I JUMP, I'M TOO SLOW!
OH, BUT WITH BALLERINA STEPS,
I'M SUPER FAST!

Frosty narrates, THE TEAM WHOSE
PLAYERS ALL TEACH THE FINISH
LINE FIRST, WINS!

Kate says, HURRY UP, DINO!

Boxy, Icy and Freezie cheer, GO!

[Stomping, exclamations]

Nina and Kate fall with their sacks.

Kate says, UH-OH!

[Stomping]

Boxy asks, WHY IS THE GROUND SHAKING?

[Stomping continues]

A hair light blue giant approaches the players.

The giant says, HOO, HOO. HOO, HOO!

[Pigi coos]

The Game Catchers say, OH!

Everyone says, HI! WHO ARE YOU?

[Pigi coos]

The giant says, HOO, HOO. HOO, HOO!

[Stomping, chest pounding, giant giggles, gasping]

Kate, Nina, Icy and Freezie say, HUH?

[Upbeat music plays]

Kate suggests, MAYBE THAT'S HOW
SNOW GIANTS SAY "HELLO"!

Nina says, SO, LET'S IMITATE HIM!

The giant chants, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

[Rhythmic music plays]

The giant chants, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

Boxy says, HE'S TRYING TO TELL
US SOMETHING.

Freezie says, YES, BUT WHAT?

The giant chants, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

Boxy says, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HIM.

Nina says, BUT IT'S SUPER FUN!

Eveyrone repeats, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!
HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

The giant jumps and smiles.

[Stomp]

Everyone says, WHOA!

[Laughing, Pigi coos, gentle music plays]

Frosty says, HMM, THAT'S TRUE!
I'M REALLY HOT TOO!

Kate says, PHEW! I GET IT NOW!
THE GIANT WAS FEELING COLD,
AND HE'S DOING
ALL THIS TO WARM UP!

The giant nods and says, UH-HUH,
UH-HUH, UH-HUH!

Everyone cheers, WE GUESSED IT!

[Pigi coos]

Kate says, THANKS FOR SHOWING
US A GREAT WAY TO WARM UP,
SNOW GIANT!

Boxy says, WE'VE JUST LEARNED
ANOTHER WAY TO STAY WARM,
AND IT'S REALLY FUN!

Nina says, THAT'S RIGHT! SACK RACING!
LET'S ALL PLAY TOGETHER!

[Cheering, Pigi coos]

The giant chants, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

[Laughing, cooing]

Soon, the giant wears a sack on each foot. Boxy wears a sack beside the giant.

Kate counts down, THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!

[Energetic music plays, rustling, stomp]

The giant jumps forward and Boxy falls backwards.

Kate says, OH!

[Giant chuckles]

Later, Kate bounces on her arms and passes Nina in her sack.

[Slide whistles]

Kate says, HOP, HOP, HOP!

Nina says, HUH?

Nina spins.

[Whooshing]

Nina says, HMM... WOO!
WOO, WOO, WOO, WOO!

[Giggles, energetic music continues]

Nina says, HUH?

Nina’s sack is on the snow behind her. She hops back into her sack.

[Rustling, she laughs]

The children jump in their sacks.

[Laughter]

Dino says, HA! I'VE GOT IT! AH!

Dino falls out of his sack and slides into a pile of snow. He stands up and has a snow hat and beard.

[Slide whistle, thud, others laugh, Pigi coos]

Dino, Kate and Icy shout, WE WON!

The giant shouts, OOH, OOH!

[Thumping, everyone laughs]

The Game Catchers fly back to their headquarters.

[Playful music plays, whooshing, chime]

Inside, Mr. Moustache works on his computer as the Game Catchers gather around him.

[Typing, beeping, gentle music plays]

Boxy says, WE COMPETED IN SACK RACES!

Nina says, AND WE WARMED UP WITH
THE DANCE OF THE SNOW GIANT!

Mr. Moustache says, WONDERFUL! OH, LOOK!
HERE COMES THE GAMES SPHERE.

The claw picks up an empty game sphere and it fills with pale blue light. Flashbacks of the game play inside the sphere.

[Whirring, triumphant music plays]

The Game Catchers say, OOH!

[Pigi coos]

Soon, Dino holds the game sphere on his head in the game archive.

The Game Catchers chant, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

[Rhythmic music plays]

Dino puts the game sphere on a shelf.

They chant, HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!
HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!
HOO, HOO! HOO, HOO!

Mr. Moustache says HOO, HOO!

He jumps and the Game Catchers bounce.

[Stomp]

[Everyone laughs, upbeat music plays]

Mr. Moustache says GOOD JOB,
GAME CATCHERS!

YOU FOUND A WONDERFUL
NEW GAME!

The Game Catchers cheer, YEAH!

[Pigi coos]
