Isadora Moon
[Upbeat introduction music]
DESCRIPTION: At night, the moonlight shines on a pink, white, and gray castle. Isadora Moon flies and dances while holding her magic wand. Isadora has black hair, pointed fairy ears, vampire fangs, and pink bat wings. She wears a purple cardigan, pink boots, black-and-white striped tights, and a pink skirt with star details.
SINGERS: Isadora Moon the one and only, here I go! I'm totally unique and extra-starry. Waving my wand, flying fearlessly, yeah! It's your girl, Isadora.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora stands with her parents, Countess Cordelia Moon and Count Bartholomew Moon. Cordelia has long, curly, pink hair and wears flowers in it. She has transparent, butterfly-like green wings and wears a green sweater and a pink dress. Bartholomew has short black hair and fangs. He wears a long black-and-purple cape, grey pants, and a grey-striped vest over a red shirt.
SINGERS: A little bit of both, half a vampire, half a fairy!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora flies through the air, and a trail of pink sparkles follows her. She is holding Pink Rabbit’s paw, a rabbit stuffed animal with pink fur, a fuzzy white tail, and black-and-white striped ears.
[Opening credits] “Written by Jen Upton”. “Theme Song by Helen Park”. “Series Director William Gordon”. “Showrunner Deborah Thorpe”. “Based on the Isadora Moon books and characters by Harriet Muncaster”.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora splashes into the ocean and transforms into a mermaid with a purple tail. Then, in a flash of magic, she is in a pink room, transforming into a pink-and-black cat.
SINGERS: Ready for a new, exciting journey. Sparkly and extraordinary! Yeah, that's me, Isadora! Watch me be!
[Title] “Isadora Moon”.
[Episode title] “The Lost Crown”.
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew and Isadora fly through the night sky, over the ocean.
ISADORA: Whee! Night flights are the best!
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, the ocean is so beautiful in the moonlight.
ISADORA: It's even more beautiful under the water. Last time I visited Delphina, we went on a night swim with her dad.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, it must be fun to be a mermaid. Ah, I've always wondered what it was like to be a creature of the deep.
[Isadora gasps]
ISADORA: Why don't you find out? You're a vampire. You can shapeshift.
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew stops abruptly in the sky.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh. I can!
ISADORA: Come on! Let's go for a swim.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora spins in a circle, and in a flash of magic, she transforms into a mermaid with a purple tail. She dives into the ocean.
[Magical chiming]
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew transforms into a small, purple-striped fish with fangs.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, wait for me.
[Bartholomew grunting]
[Whooshing]
DESCRIPTION: Underwater, Isadora swims in circles.
ISADORA: Whee!
[Isadora gasps]
ISADORA: Dad!
[Laughing]
ISADORA: You're a fish.
BARTHOLOMEW: A rather handsome one, don't you think? Frothy fun!
[Both laughing]
ISADORA: No, this is frothy fun.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora waves her wand and creates a cloud of bubbles. She blows bubbles towards Bartholomew, coating his fish body in them.
[Magical chiming]
[Laughing]
[Bartholomew sneezes]
DESCRIPTION: All of the bubbles disappear except for one bubble right on Bartholomew’s nose.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, it-it's tickling my nose.
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew tries to scratch his nose, but his fin is too short.
[Bartholomew grunting]
BARTHOLOMEW: Uh-oh. I can't reach my nose. Oh, silly, little fins. I-I'm helpless.
[Isadora laughing]
ISADORA: I'll do it.
[Laughing]
DESCRIPTION: Isadora pops the bubble and scratches her dad’s nose.
[Bubble popping]
[Bartholomew sighing happily]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, thank you, Isadora.
ISADORA: Come on. Let's explore.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew dive deeper into the ocean. They swim through an underwater city filled with houses made of seashells. Fish swim all around them.
BARTHOLOMEW: You were right, my darling. It is beautiful down here at night.
DESCRIPTION: A small fish swims behind Bartholomew.
ISADORA: Look, Dad. You've got a fan.
[Laughing]
BARTHOLOMEW: A fan with fins.
[Laughing]
DESCRIPTION: More small fish surround Bartholomew and follow him.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh. Oh, oh, dear. Lots of fin fans. Um, shoo, little fishies. Maybe they think you're their leader.
[Isadora laughing]
[Bartholomew laughing nervously]
BARTHOLOMEW: Go away. I'm-I'm not your leader.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora waves the fish away.
ISADORA: Shoo, shoo! He's my dad. Not your leader.
BARTHOLOMEW: Thank you, Isadora.
ISADORA: Ooh. What's that?
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew swim deeper and into a coral reef. Isadora spots something shining on the ocean floor.
[Chiming]
DESCRIPTION: Isadora picks up a sparking crown lying in the sand. A turtle sticks its head out from behind some coral.
[Isadora gasps]
ISADORA: Dad, look! I think it's a royal– Whoa!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora slips backwards and drops the crown. The turtle swims out from behind the coral, takes the crown in its mouth, and swims away.
BARTHOLOMEW: Hey! Come back here, you cheeky sea tortoise!
ISADORA: It's a turtle, Dad, and it's getting away. Come on.
DESCRIPTION: Just then, Delphina swims up to Isadora and Bartholomew. Delphina is a mermaid princess who has black hair and a blue-and-gold tail. Seashells, starfish, and pearls decorate her braided hair.
DELPHINA: Isadora?
ISADORA: Oh, Delphina!
[Gasping]
DELPHINA: What are you doing here? I'm on a night swim with my dad.
DELPHINA: Your dad? Where is he?
BARTHOLOMEW: Hello!
DELPHINA: Your dad's not a fish.
[Isadora laughing]
ISADORA: Well, he is now. He shapeshifted into one so we could swim together.
BARTHOLOMEW: And, if I say so myself, I do make a most stylish fish.
[Laughing]
ISADORA: Delphina, what are you doing out so late?
DESCRIPTION: Delphina frowns.
DELPHINA: I'm looking for my crown. I've lost it somewhere.
ISADORA: Your crown?
DELPHINA: Yes. My dad gave it to me. I'm only supposed to wear it to royal banquets and things. The thing is I forgot I was wearing my crown. I went out to play, and then, I don't know. I must've dropped it. But I have to find it.
ISADORA: We found a crown.
DELPHINA: Really? Amazing! Uh, please can I have it back?
ISADORA: I'm so sorry, Delphina. We found the crown, but then a turtle stole it and swam off.
DELPHINA: Oh, no! Dad's going to be so disappointed with me.
ISADORA: No, he won't. We'll find the turtle and get your crown back.
DELPHINA: Really?
ISADORA: Yes.
BARTHOLOMEW [laughing]: But of course. Come on. The cheeky sea turtle went that a-way.
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew tries to gesture with his fin.
DELPHINA: Uh, which way?
BARTHOLOMEW: That– Oh! Ugh! These little fins are no good for pointing. Just follow me!
[Chiming and bubbling]
DESCRIPTION: Isadora, Bartholomew, and Delphina look in underwater caves, coral reefs, and behind rocks for the turtle. Bartholomew shouts into a cave.
BARTHOLOMEW: Sea turtle? Sea turtle?
[Cave echoing]
BARTHOLOMEW’S ECHO: Sea turtle? Sea turtle?
BARTHOLOMEW: Come out. Come out. Wherever you are.
DELPHINA: I really hope it's around here somewhere. Turtles love playing bubble burst here with me and my friends.
ISADORA: Bubble burst?
[Isadora laughing]
ISADORA: What's that? It sounds fun.
DELPHINA: It is! Whoever makes the biggest bubble wins, but if it bursts, you lose. I could show you if you like.
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, yes! I mean, yeah, no, that sounds interesting.
ISADORA: Are you sure?
DELPHINA: Yes, it'll cheer me up.
ISADORA: Okay, so, you make a bubble like this?
DESCRIPTION: Isadora waves her wand, and a large bubble appears.
DELPHINA: Mm-hm, not bad, but watch this.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina rubs her hands together, and an even bigger bubble forms between them.
[Air whooshing]
ISADORA: Ooh!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Delphina take turns making their bubbles bigger and bigger. Bartholomew swims in between the bubbles.
[Chiming and air whooshing]
[Isadora and Delphina laughing]
[Air whooshing]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh-ho-ho! Oh, I can't tell who's winning.
[Air whooshing]
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew is squished between the two bubbles. The bubbles pop, and Bartholomew goes flying through the water.
[Popping]
[Bartholomew yelling]
[Isadora and Delphina laughing]
ISADORA: Oops. Sorry, Dad.
DELPHINA: We didn't find the crown, but that was fun.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina shrugs and frowns.
DELPHINA: Aw. What if we never find it?
ISADORA: Oh, we will. Come on. Where else do turtles like to play?
DELPHINA: Mm. Oh! I know! Follow me!
[Whimsical music]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Delphina, Isadora, and Bartholomew are looking around in the town square. Seashell houses surround a large stone patio. In the centre of the town square is a statue of Delphina’s dad, the Mermaid King.
DELPHINA: Oh, I really thought it might be here.
BARTHOLOMEW: Mm, definitely no sea turtles here, but what a marvelous place.
DELPHINA: Thanks. This is where the royal guest's children come to play chase.
BARTHOLOMEW: Fascinating. You know, I'm pretty fast myself, being a vampire fish. Bet you can't catch me!
DELPHINA: Bet I can!
[Kids laughing]
DESCRIPTION: Bartholomew swims off, and Delphina and Isadora swim after him.
BARTHOLOMEW: Woo-hoo!
[Isadora and Delphina laughing]
[Bartholomew laughing]
[Upbeat music]
BARTHOLOMEW: Uh-oh!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora reaches out her hand and taps Bartholomew’s tail.
[Laughing]
ISADORA: Gotcha, Dad!
[Laughing]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, I'm so much faster when I have legs. Although, not as fast as a sea turtle.
[Delphina gasps]
DELPHINA: The sea turtle and the crown. I was having so much fun I forgot.
ISADORA: Come on. Let's keep looking.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina frowns.
DELPHINA: What's the point? My crown is probably lost forever. Aw, I'm the worst princess ever.
ISADORA: No, you're not. Don't give up. Where should we look next?
[Delphina gasps]
DELPHINA: The stables. Turtles love to tease sea unicorns.
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Delphina swim off. Bartholomew swims after them.
BARTHOLOMEW: Hey! Wait for me.
[Bubbling]
DESCRIPTION: Delphina, Isadora, and Bartholomew arrive at the sea unicorn stables. It is a marble building with gold stable doors, encrusted with seashells and seahorse statues.
BARTHOLOMEW: You know, we should have brought sea apples for the seahorses.
ISADORA: Dad!
[Laughing]
ISADORA: Delphina has a sea unicorn.
DELPHINA: And he only eats rainbow algae.
[Door squeaking]
DESCRIPTION: Delphina opens the stable door, and her sea unicorn swims out. Bubbles is a large, pink seahorse with a unicorn horn. He is wearing riding gear, including a saddle and a bridle.
[Laughing]
ISADORA: Aw, hello, Bubbles.
BARTHOLOMEW: Hello!
DESCRIPTION: Bubbles blows bubbles at Bartholomew and sends him flying through the water.
BARTHOLOMEW: Ah!
[Kids laughing]
DELPHINA: Bubbles, you haven't seen a sea turtle with a crown, have you?
DESCRIPTION: Bubbles shakes his head.
BARTHOLOMEW: Nope. Still no tricksy turtle. Maybe we head back to the palace, hm?
DELPHINA: Uh, no! Let's play another game of chase instead.
BARTHOLOMEW: It's getting late, which is wonderful for vampires, but, not for mermaid princesses.
[Delphina sighing]
DELPHINA: Maybe I shouldn't even be a princess anymore if I can't look after the crown.
[Isadora gasps]
ISADORA: But being a princess is about so much more than looking after a crown.
BARTHOLOMEW: Indeed it is, and you have been a wonderful ambassador for your father's kingdom introducing a vampire visitor to your magical undersea world.
DELPHINA: But I lost the crown.
ISADORA: It was a mistake. We all make mistakes sometimes. Come on. Let's go and find your dad.
DELPHINA: Okay.
DESCRIPTION: Later, Isadora, Bartholomew, and Delphina arrive at the Royal Palace, a large, pearly, underwater castle. Delphina’s dad, the Mermaid King, sits on a seashell throne.
[Bubbling]
MERMAID KING: Delphina, there you are. Oh, Isadora, how did you get here all on your own?
ISADORA: I came with my dad.
MERMAID KING: I've met your father and he's not a fish.
BARTHOLOMEW: Well, not usually.
DESCRIPTION: The Mermaid King’s eyes widen.
MERMAID KING: Bartholomew?
BARTHOLOMEW: At your service, your majesty.
MERMAID KING: Well, now I've seen everything.
[All laughing]
DELPHINA: Uh, Dad, there's something I need to tell you.
MERMAID KING: What is it, sweetheart?
[Delphina sighing]
DELPHINA: I lost my crown, the one I'm only supposed to wear for special, royal occasions.
MERMAID KING: Ah, I see.
[The Mermaid King laughs]
DELPHINA: Wait. You're not cross. Or upset.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina and her dad hug.
MERMAID KING: There's something you should see. Shelly!
DESCRIPTION: The Mermaid King calls out, and the turtle swims into the room, holding Delphina’s crown in her mouth.
DELPHINA: Shelly!
DESCRIPTION: Delphina swims excitedly towards Shelly. Bartholomew and Isadora look at each other, confused.
BARTHOLOMEW/ ISADORA: Shelly?
DELPHINA: Oh, Shelly. Our ancient, old palace sea turtle.
BARTHOLOMEW: You mean, I'm slower than an ancient sea turtle?
MERMAID KING: She recognized the crown and brought it straight here.
DELPHINA: Oh! Thank you, Shelly. I'm sorry, Dad.
MERMAID KING: Oh, Delphina, we all make mistakes. Whether we are a princess or a king.
ISADORA: Or a fairy vampire.
MERMAID KING: Exactly. It's how we deal with those mistakes that matters, and admitting to them is a great start.
DELPHINA: Thank you, Dad.
[Isadora yawning]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, time to go. It's way past your bedtime.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina holds Isadora’s hands.
DELPHINA: Thank you for helping me do the right thing, Isadora. And thank you too, Count Moon. I think you make a wonderful fish.
BARTHOLOMEW: Mm, I do wear scales rather well.
[All laughing]
DELPHINA: Hope to see you soon. I can't wait.
BARTHOLOMEW: Thank you.
MERMAID KING: It's been a pleasure, my fishy vampire friend.
ISADORA: Bye!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew swim to the surface and fly into the sky. Bartholomew and Isadora transform back into their original bodies.
[Whooshing]
BARTHOLOMEW: Legs! Oh, hello. I– Oh, and hands! Oh, I have missed you!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew hold hands and fly home.
ISADORA: I missed your hands too. It's not really the same holding a fin.
[Both laughing]

DELPHINA: Uh, Dad, there's something I need to tell you.
MERMAID KING: What is it, sweetheart?
[Delphina sighing]
DELPHINA: I lost my crown, the one I'm only supposed to wear for special, royal occasions.
MERMAID KING: Ah, I see.
[The Mermaid King laughs]
DELPHINA: Wait. You're not cross. Or upset.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina and her dad hug.
MERMAID KING: There's something you should see. Shelly!
DESCRIPTION: The Mermaid King calls out, and the turtle swims into the room, holding Delphina’s crown in her mouth.
DELPHINA: Shelly!
DESCRIPTION: Delphina swims excitedly towards Shelly. Bartholomew and Isadora look at each other, confused.
BARTHOLOMEW/ ISADORA: Shelly?
DELPHINA: Oh, Shelly. Our ancient, old palace sea turtle.
BARTHOLOMEW: You mean, I'm slower than an ancient sea turtle?
MERMAID KING: She recognized the crown and brought it straight here.
DELPHINA: Oh! Thank you, Shelly. I'm sorry, Dad.
MERMAID KING: Oh, Delphina, we all make mistakes. Whether we are a princess or a king.
ISADORA: Or a fairy vampire.
MERMAID KING: Exactly. It's how we deal with those mistakes that matters, and admitting to them is a great start.
DELPHINA: Thank you, Dad.
[Isadora yawning]
BARTHOLOMEW: Oh, time to go. It's way past your bedtime.
DESCRIPTION: Delphina holds Isadora’s hands.
DELPHINA: Thank you for helping me do the right thing, Isadora. And thank you too, Count Moon. I think you make a wonderful fish.
BARTHOLOMEW: Mm, I do wear scales rather well.
[All laughing]
DELPHINA: Hope to see you soon. I can't wait.
BARTHOLOMEW: Thank you.
MERMAID KING: It's been a pleasure, my fishy vampire friend.
ISADORA: Bye!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew swim to the surface and fly into the sky. Bartholomew and Isadora transform back into their original bodies.
[Whooshing]
BARTHOLOMEW: Legs! Oh, hello. I– Oh, and hands! Oh, I have missed you!
DESCRIPTION: Isadora and Bartholomew hold hands and fly home.
ISADORA: I missed your hands too. It's not really the same holding a fin.
[Both laughing]
[Upbeat music]
SINGERS: A little bit of both! Mighty vampire, magic fairy. Ready for a new exciting journey. Sparkly and extraordinary! Yeah, that's me, Isadora. Watch me be!
