Written by Demetrio Bargellini.
[Soft music plays]
At Game Catchers headquarters, Mr. Moustache types on the sphere machine computer keyboard.
He says, HMM, NOW, LET'S SEE.
THERE HAS TO BE A GAME PLANET
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
[Hiccup]
[Clanging]
Mr. Moustache says, HMM?
Boxy says, OOPS.
[Boxy hiccupping]
[Squeaking]
A rubber duck falls out of Boxy and lands beside a wrench.
Boxy says, SORRY, IT'S OVER.
He puts away the wrench and rubber duck.
[Boxy hiccupping]
[Rattling]
Mr. Moustache and the others look at Boxy.
Boxy says, UH, SORRY. NOW, I'M DONE.
He puts away a tambourine.
[Rattling]
[Boxy hiccupping]
The other Game Catchers say, HUH?
[Pinging]
Boxy says, UH, IT'S NOT ME!
IT'S THE COMPUTER.
A light flashes on the computer that shows a colourful planet.
[Pinging]
[Mr. Moustache chuckling]
Mr. Moustache says, YOU'RE RIGHT, BOXY!
Colourful balloons float past the colourful planet.
Mr. Moustache says, HEY, LOOK!
BALLOONS ARE COMING
FROM THIS PLANET!
AND WHERE THERE ARE BALLOONS,
THERE ARE CHILDREN PLAYING.
READY TO GO?
The Game Catchers cheer, YEAH!
THERE'S A NEW GAME TO CATCH!
GO!
They fly out of headquarters in their ships.
[Upbeat music plays]
The Game Catchers sing, LET'S TAKE OFF
EXPLORING,
THROUGH SPACE OUR SHIP
IS SOARING,
AS WE SEARCH FOR GAMES
AND NEW FRIENDS.
[Tires screeching]
[Music stops]
The Game Catchers stop at a red light.
[Buzzing]
A creature flies by, then the light turns green.
[Upbeat music continues]
The Game Catchers sing, WE DO LOVE EXPLORING,
WE NEVER FIND IT BORING,
TOURING GALAXIES
WITHOUT ENDS!
They fly through space.
They sing, OUR UNIVERSE IS
FULL OF GAMES AND FUN!
[Pigi cooing]
The Game Catchers sing, FOR EVERYONE
[Pigi cooing]
The Game Catchers cheer, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!
They fly to the colourful balloon planet. On the planet, they leave their ships on balloon hills.
They say, WOW!
They look up at balloons on a tree.
Kate says, OOH, IT'S VERY HOT!
Someone says, IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS HERE.
[Kate gasping]
The Game Catchers greet three new friends that look like balloons with finger shaped hair.
The Game Catchers say, OH, HELLO!
The balloon friends say, HELLO!
The purple balloon friend asks, WHO ARE YOU?
Nina says, WE'RE THE GAME CATCHERS!
Boxy says, AND WE GO FROM PLANET
TO PLANET...
Kate says, TO LEARN...
[Pigi cooing]
Dino says, NEW GAMES!
The balloon friends say, WOW!
The green balloon friend says, WE KNOW ONE THAT'S SUPER FUN!
IT'S CALLED WATERFALL!
WANNA PLAY?
The Game Catchers say, YEAH!
Boxy says, HOW COOL!
The pink balloon friend says, BUT TO PLAY, WE NEED TO GET
A HOLD OF A FEW WATER BALLOONS.
Dino says, AWESOME! AND WHERE
CAN WE FIND THEM?
The purple balloon friend says, THEY GROW ON
THE WATER BALLOON TREES!
The Game Catchers say, OH!
Kate says, YOU MEAN, ONE OF THOSE?
She points toward the nearby tree, now missing.
[Kate gasping]
Kate says, HEY! WHERE DID THE TREE GO?
Nina says, ARE YOU SURE?
TREES DON'T WALK.
[Pink balloon friend laughing]
The pink balloon friend says, THEY DO ON THIS PLANET.
THEY RUN, TOO!
The green balloon friend says, WATER BALLOON TREES
ARE REALLY SHY
AND THEY OFTEN GO AND HIDE
WHEN THEY MEET SOMEONE
THEY DON'T KNOW!
[Pigi cooing]
Pigi runs onto a balloon rock and looks around.
[Pigi cooing]
Pigi points to the water balloon tree.
Kate says, THAT'S THE TREE I SAW BEFORE!
The pink balloon friend quietly says, LET'S FOLLOW IT, BUT REMEMBER,
HE'S VERY SHY.
[Dramatic music plays]
The balloon friends creep after the water balloon tree with the Game Catchers. Kate steps on a balloon rock.
[Balloon popping]
The water balloon tree says, HMM!
He looks back at the balloon friends and Game Catchers, who freeze.
The water balloon tree says, HMM?
Dino wobbles on one foot. He falls over.
[Dino grunting]
The water balloon tree says, OH!
He runs away.
[Dramatic music plays]
The balloon friends and Game Catchers hide behind a big balloon rock.
The water balloon tree says, HMM?
[Dino sneezing]
The water balloon tree runs away.
The purple balloon friend says, HEY, WAIT!
WE JUST WANT A FEW BALLOONS!
He runs after the water balloon tree with the others.
[Dramatic music continues]
The water balloon tree reaches a dead end.
He says, HMM? HMM!
The green balloon friend says, YOU DON'T NEED TO RUN!
THESE ARE THE GAME CATCHERS
AND THEY'RE OUR FRIENDS.
The Game Catchers say, HELLO!
They wave.
The water balloon tree says, HUH?
He turns away.
[Water balloon tree whimpering]
Nina asks, DO YOU WANT TO BE OUR FRIEND,
TOO?
[Water balloon tree whimpering]
Dino says, HE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT US.
[Pigi cooing]
[Kate gasping]
Kate says, GOOD IDEA!
[Pigi cooing cheerfully]
[Dino beatboxing]
[Nina and Kate singing softly]
[Boxy shaking maracas]
The water balloon tree starts dancing. The Game Catchers and their balloon friends start dancing.
[Laughing]
The pink balloon friend says, GOOD JOB!
NOW THAT YOU'RE FRIENDS,
THE TREE WILL GIVE US
THE BALLOONS!
The water balloon tree shares his water balloons.
[Rhythmic music plays]
The friends catch the water balloons.
[Laughing]
Boxy says, THANKS FOR THE BALLOONS.
THAT WAS VERY NICE OF YOU.
[Pigi cooing]
The green balloon friend says, YES, THANK YOU!
NOW, WE'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME
PLAYING WATERFALL!
Water balloon tree chuckles, OH!
The purple balloon friend says, THE RULES ARE EASY!
AFTER HANGING THE BALLOONS
ON A STRING,
TWO CAPTAINS MAKE UP THE TEAMS
Everyone says, HERE'S MY TEAM!
The first team, Nina, Pigi, Boxy and the purple balloon friend, have red water balloons. The second team, the green balloon friend, Kate, Dino, and the pink balloon friend, have blue water balloons.
The purple balloon friend explains, WHEN THE CAPTAINS GIVE
THE GO-AHEAD,
EACH PLAYER PLACES THEMSELVES
UNDER THEIR BALLOON.
THE TEAM BURST THEM
BY USING THEIR HANDS…
Everyone stands under a water balloon hanging from a string. Dino pops his balloon with his hand and is splashed with water.
He says, OH!
[Dino laughing]
The purple balloon friend adds, OR HEAD!
Pigi pops his balloon with his head and is splashed with water.
[Pigi cooing]
The purple balloon friend says, THE TEAM WHICH BURST
ALL OF ITS BALLOONS FIRST WINS!
His team, the red balloon team, pop all of their water balloons.
[Red team laughing]
Kate cheers, LET'S PLAY AGAIN!
The friends play the Waterfall game again. The pink and green balloon friends pop water balloons.
[Laughing]
Nina pops a water balloon with her horn.
[Nina laughing]
Flying, Pigi pops a water balloon.
[Boxy grunting]
Boxy swats at a water balloon.
He says, HUH?
The water balloon falls inside him and pops.
Boxy says, AH! OH?
He spits out water.
[Dino grunting]
Dino jumps at a water balloon.
[Dino grunting]
Dino falls.
[Banging]
[Dino groaning]
Dino glares at his water balloon. He jumps up and down, shaking the ground.
[Dino growling]
The others say, OH!
All the water balloons pop except for Dino’s.
[Dino panting]
Dino says, OH!
He looks around at the others, drenched in water.
He says, OH...
He smiles sheepishly, then his water balloon pops.
[Laughing]
Later, Dino says, IT'S TOO BAD WE HAVE TO GO.
Nina says, BUT WE WILL SEE YOU SOON!
Everyone says, BYE!
The Game Catchers leave, flying back to their planet.
[Upbeat music plays]
At headquarters, Mr. Moustache works on the game sphere computer.
[Game Catchers laughing]
[Mr. Moustache chuckling]
Mr. Moustache says, AND HERE COMES
THE GAME SPHERE!
The claw game-like machine fills a sphere with a green light and memories of the Waterfall game. The sphere pops out of the machine like a gumball onto a stand.
Nina says, AH!
In the archive room, she puts the sphere on a shelf among others.
Mr. Moustache says, CONGRATULATIONS,
GAME CATCHERS.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL GAME
FOR OUR COLLECTION.
Boxy says, I'D LOVE TO PLAY IT RIGHT...
[Boxy hiccupping]
A tambourine falls out of Boxy into Kate’s hands.
Kate says, OH!
Boxy says, OH, NO. NOT AGAIN!
[Laughing]
[Boxy hiccupping]
