A young boy with dark hair smiles.

The boy says, HI, I’M ELLERY.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I WOULD BE AN ARCHITECT!

Opening sequence. In a montage, different kids experience an imaginative world drawn around them. A girl wears an apron and chef’s hat as she snorkels past mermaids and fish holding a tray of cupcakes. A boy wears a suit while he stands at a podium drawn in front of him. Another looks at a map with a magnifying glass. A girl wears a police uniform while another does a cartwheel. A boy wears safety goggles and Ellery wears a tie.

[Upbeat music]

A voice sings, IMAGINE, IMAGINE, IMAGINE.

A female voice sings, IMAGINE POWERFUL.
IMAGINE COMICAL.
IMAGINE MAGICAL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Text reads, starring Ellery.

Ellery stands at an easel. On a large piece of paper, he draws a building.

In a voice over, Ellery says, HI, I’M ELLERY.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I WOULD BE AN ARCHITECT.

Ellery steps away from his drawing. Stars sparkle around the drawing. In front of buildings, Ellery wears a dress shirt, suspenders and a blue bow tie.

Ellery says, AN ARCHITECT
DESIGNS BUILDINGS.

Ellery looks thoughtful. A lightbulb lights up above his head.

Ellery says, FIRST I WOULD DRAW WHAT I WANT
THE BUILDING TO LOOK LIKE.

Ellery draws lines with his finger.

Ellery says, A BIG, TALL
RECTANGULAR BUILDING.
WITH LOTS
OF SQUARE WINDOWS.

The lines turn into a drawing of a building.

Ellery says, OR MAYBE,
A TRIANGULAR BUILDING.

Ellery draws a triangular building but it falls apart.

Ellery says, OOPS.
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

Ellery draws again.

Ellery says, I WOULD MAKE A WHOLE BUNCH
OF SQUARE HOUSES
WITH POINTY
TRIANGLE ROOVES.
FOR MY FRIENDS AND I
TO LIVE IN.

Ellery waves from a window in a building.

Ellery says, HMMM.

Ellery looks thoughtful.

He says, AHA!
I WOULD DRAW A SUPER TALL
BUILDING WITH A SLIDE
THAT GOES FROM THE TOP
OF THE 99TH FLOOR…
…RIGHT DOWN
TO THE GROUND.

Ellery slides down a twisty yellow slide.

He says, WHEE!

[Groans]

Ellery holds his head and sweats.

Ellery wears a hard hat and says, ONCE I’VE GOT THE DESIGN,
CALLED MY BLUEPRINTS,
IT’S TIME
TO BUILD IT!

Ellery stands between two people.

Ellery says, I WOULD SHOW
THE BUILDERS MY PLANS
AND I WOULD GET TO DECIDE
THE MATERIALS THAT THE BUILDERS USE.
MY BUILDING WOULD BE
MADE OF METAL AND WOOD
TO MAKE IT
SUPER STRONG.
BUT INSIDE, I WOULD USE BOUNCY
MARSHMALLOWS FOR THE CARPETS!
WOAH!
FUN!
WHOOHOO!

Ellery bounces up and down on marshmallows. He stretches his arms high up in the air.

Ellery says, MY BUILDINGS
WOULD BE REALLY TALL.
EVEN TALLER
THAN THE MOON!

Ellery waves his hands.

He says, IT WOULD TAKE
FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE
AND A MILLION HOURS
TO BUILD.

[Hammering]

People start to build. Ellery jumps and waves his hands.

He says, TA DA!

Ellery shows off his building. He holds a big pair of scissors and stands in front of a big red ribbon.

Ellery says, WHEN THE BUILDING
IS ALL DONE,

Ellery cuts the ribbon.

He says, I WOULD CUT
A BIG RIBBON
TO WELCOME EVERYONE
TO THEIR NEW HOME.

[Cheers]

[Applause]

EVERYBODY WOULD CLAP
AND I WOULD TAKE A BOW.

Ellery takes a bow.

He says, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Ellery rides in an elevator.

Ellery says, THEN WE WOULD ALL
TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO THE TOP.
AND RIDE SUPER FAST
DOWN THE SLIDE
BACK TO THE GROUND AGAIN.
WHEE!
I’D GO 50 TIMES!

Ellery fixes his bow tie.

He says, IF I WAS AN ARCHITECT
I WOULD ALWAYS WEAR A BOW TIE,
TO IMPRESS PEOPLE.
LIKE A KING.
AND HIS BEST FRIEND
THE ROCK STAR.

Ellery stretches his suspenders and wiggles his tie.

Ellery says, THEY WOULD ASK ME
TO BUILD THEM TWO SUPER CASTLES
SIDE-BY-SIDE SO THEY CAN
VISIT EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME.

Ellery draws two castles side-by-side.

Ellery says, I WOULD DESIGN A CASTLE
WITH TWO HUGE SQUARES
AND ZIGGY-ZAGGY
LITTLE SQUARES ON TOP.
I’D MAKE THE CASTLE GREY!
THEN I WOULD BUILD A GOLDEN
BRIDGE TO CONNECT THEM.
SO THEY COULD VISIT EACH
OTHER WHENEVER THEY WANTED TO.
OH!
AND A SUPER TALL
TOWER.
FOR THE DRAGON
TO ROCK N’ROLL IN!

[Rock music]

The dragon plays a blue electric guitar. Ellery plays a red electric guitar

Ellery says, I LOVE
BEING AN ARCHITECT!

A male voice sings, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE?
CAN YOU IMAGINE THERE’S
A WORLD FULL OF FANTASY?
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
LOTS, IT BECOMES SO REAL.
DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
THAT YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO.
IMAGINE THIS OR THAT,
THINK OF SOMETHING NEW.
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS
CHANGE A THING OR TWO,
ANYTHING YOU WANT
IT’S REALLY UP TO YOU.
BA BA BA BA BA
BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA
BA BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA BA
BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA
BA BA DA BA BA
BA BA DA BA DA
BA BA DA BA DA
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Ellery says, I’M ELLERY
AND I’M AN ARCHITECT!
IMAGINE THAT!
