[Cheerful music plays]
DESCRIPTION: In animation, five block friends run through a field in NumberLand. One is one red building block with one eye. Two is two orange blocks with glasses. Three is three yellow blocks wearing a crown. Four is a square of four green blocks. Five is five blue blocks with a star over their left eye, wearing a big blue glove.
SINGER: One, two, three, four, five, NumberBlocks. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
NumberBlocks.
DESCRIPTION: Six is a rectangle of purple building blocks with light purple dots. Seven is seven different coloured blocks that make a rainbow. Eight is a rectangle of eight pink blocks with tentacles. Nine is a 3 by 3 square with grey blocks. Ten is ten white blocks outlined in red wearing red star sunglasses.
SINGER: One and another one is two, and another one is…
DESCRIPTION: Two One NumberBlocks make a Two NumberBlock. A third joins and makes a Three NumberBlock.
THREE: Me!
SINGER: …that's three!
DESCRIPTION: NumberBlocks One, Two, Three, Four and Five fly in space. They land on Earth and run through NumberLand.
SINGER: Five, four, three, two, one, time for some number fun. You can count on us, we're the NumberBlocks!
[Title] NumberBlocks.
[Gentle music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The sun shines brightly over NumberLand. In a garden behind a fence, NumberBlock One watches Six water a sunflower.
SIX: Take a look, and you will see, my sunflower is as tall as me!
DESCRIPTION: Six transforms into a stack of six blocks.
ONE: Oh, yes. It's six blocks tall, just like you, Six! But look at mine!
DESCRIPTION: Six looks at One’s taller sunflower.
SIX: Wow! Your flower is really tall. It's not much shorter than the wall.
DESCRIPTION: Three joins Six and One.
THREE: Not bad. Although... Mine is enormous! It's as tall as the sun!
DESCRIPTION: Three’s sunflower is taller than the fence, also known as the wall.
THREE: All right, maybe not quite as tall as that, but still very tall.
SIX: It's the tallest sunflower of them all! I think it's more than...
DESCRIPTION: Six, One and Three combine into NumberBlock Ten.
TEN: ...10 blocks tall.
DESCRIPTION: Ten breaks apart into Six, One and Three.
[Six, One and Three giggling]
[Whooshing]
DESCRIPTION: NumberBlock Eighteen blasts by on their rockets. Eighteen returns and stops beside Three’s sunflower.
[NumberBlock imitating tires screeching]
EIGHTEEN: Wowsers trousers! That sunflower is taller than I am!
DESCRIPTION: Eighteen transforms into a stack of eighteen blocks and stands beside the tall sunflower.
EIGHTEEN: I mean, shorter than I am! I mean, I want to grow something even taller! Right now!
[One giggling]
ONE: Eighteen! Sunflowers take a long time to grow.
EIGHTEEN: Well then, I'll have to find something that grows faster, won't I?
DESCRIPTION: Eighteen flies away as a rectangle.
EIGHTEEN: Whee!
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen joins One, Six and Three.
[Sixteen snorting]
SIXTEEN: You think that sunflower is a whopper? Come and see mine! My sunflower has square petals. And square leaves. It even has...
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen breaks apart into four Fours.
FOURS SINGING: …square roots.
DESCRIPTION: The Four fours come together into Sixteen. One, Six and Three look at Sixteen’s tall, square sunflower.
[Sixteen snorting]
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen climbs a ladder to the top of the square sunflower.
SIXTEEN: You grow, girl.
THREE: Wait, wait, wait! It is fairly tall, but I think mine is taller. Hmm.
DESCRIPTION: Three looks around, then runs back to the other sunflowers. Three jumps and tries measuring the tallest sunflower with their arm.
[Three grunting]
THREE: Hmm.
DESCRIPTION: Three runs back to the square sunflower and narrows their eyes. Three runs back and forth between the sunflowers.
[Three sighing]
THREE: It's hard to tell which is taller when you can't see both at once.
ONE: Look! Sixteen’s ladder is the same height as her sunflower!
THREE: So? This isn't about who's got the tallest l
adder.
SIX: But we can take it over there and use the ladder to compare!
SIXTEEN: Now that's smart thinking!
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen carries the ladder over to the other sunflowers. Three, Six and One follow.
THREE: So, your sunflower is exactly one ladder tall, Sixteen.
SIXTEEN: And your sunflower is...
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen raises the ladder next to Three’s sunflower.
SIXTEEN: ...also exactly one ladder tall.
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen holds the ladder above the ground.
THREE: Uh, hey!
[One giggling]
ONE: Sixteen! You need to measure from the ground, or it's not fair.
SIXTEEN: Oh, silly me!
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen places the ladder on the ground. At the height of the fence, the ladder is shorter than Three’s sunflower.
THREE: My sunflower is one ladder and a bit tall.
SIXTEEN: Which means my sunflower is shorter than yours.
DESCRIPTION: Nineteen joins the group.
NINETEEN: Aye. So if you like big plants, you should come and see mine!
DESCRIPTION: The group of NumberBlocks walk to another part of the garden.
THREE: Uh...
SIX: Hmm.
NINETEEN: My moonflower is a real one-off.
DESCRIPTION: Three, Six, One and Sixteen look at a crescent-shaped moonflower vine lying horizontally in Nineteen’s flower garden.
THREE, SIX, ONE AND SIXTEEN: Oh!
THREE: It's not very tall.
NINETEEN: Ah, but moonflowers grow sideways. They grow long rather than tall. And my moonflower is really long.
THREE: Is that the same thing?
SIXTEEN: They are both ways to measure distance. Look at me.
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen passes One the ladder.
SIXTEEN: I'm four blocks wide, and four blocks tall.
NINETEEN: So is my moonflower longer than your sunflower is tall?
[Three gasping]
THREE: It's ladder time.
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen holds the ladder horizontally over the moonflower.
ONE: It's one ladder and a bit long. The same as your sunflower, Three.
THREE: No, no, no. I'm sure my bit was bigger than your bit.
DESCRIPTION: Three stands horizontally at the end of the ladder, over the moonflower.
THREE: It's one ladder and one block long.
DESCRIPTION: Three stands beside One.
THREE: But how many blocks long is your ladder, Sixteen?
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen holds the ladder upright and stretches into a stack of blocks.
SIXTEEN: Ten blocks tall, or to put it another way, 10 blocks long.
[Sixteen laughing and snorting]
THREE: So that means your moonflower is 10 plus one, 11 blocks long.
[Celebratory horn]
SIXTEEN: Come on! Let's measure your sunflower.
DESCRIPTION: Three and Sixteen walk up to Three’s flower.
THREE: You hold the ladder here. I'll climb up and balance on top of it.
DESCRIPTION: Sixteen stands as a stack of sixteen blocks.
THREE: Or you could do that.
SIXTEEN: That's two more than ten. Your sunflower is twelve blocks high.
DESCRIPTION: Six, Nineteen and One join Three and Sixteen.
NINETEEN: So, your sunflower is longer than my moonflower, Three! Incredible!
DESCRIPTION: Three rests the ladder against the fence.
THREE: It might just be the tallest plant ever.
EIGHTEEN CALLING OUT: Or not!
DESCRIPTION: The group of NumberBlocks rush over to a giant beanstalk and look up at Eighteen.
EIGHTEEN: Breaking news! Would you mind helping me down?
SIXTEEN: We're going to need a taller ladder.
[Sixteen snorting]
