A caption reads "Cottonwood Media and Image-in Atlantique presents, in association with TVO Kids and Francetélévisions."

(music plays)

In animation, 2 6-year-old, next-door-neighbour cats meet on the sidewalk and hug. Ollie is yellow and wears a black and blue striped T-shirt. Moon is cream with brown stripes and wears a black skirt and a coral T-shirt.

The song says LET'S GO REAL FAR
I SHOULD PACK
MY BAG FIRST
WE'VE GOT SO
MUCH TO SEE

Ollie and Moon get on a cab, go to the airport, get on a plane, parachute and land in a bird nest on top of a palm tree.

The caption changes to "Based on the original books by Diane Kredensor."

The song continues IF YOU REALLY WANT
AND YOU REALLY DO
I COULD GO ROUND
THE WORLD WITH YOU

Then they visit different cities in the world and return home. They run to each other and hug in front of their houses.

The song continues I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
WHATEVER YOU DO
I'LL BE THERE
WITH YOU
OLLIE AND MOON

The caption changes to "Directed by Moran Caouissin."

The name of the show appears inside two silhouettes of cat heads.

(music plays)

The name of the episode reads "Venice Show Stopper."

Stanley says MAMMA MIA!

Moon says STANLEY. YOU OKAY?

Stanley says I'M FINE.
BUT MY COUSIN TUCCI IN ITALY
IS IN BIG TROUBLE!

He shows a magazine and continues HE RUNS A THEATRE FESTIVAL,
BUT HIS BIG ACT,
THE STAGE STORKS,
DIDN'T SHOW UP!

Ollie says OH NO!

Stanley says I KNOW! HE NEEDS A NEW ACT,
PRONTO! OR THE FESTIVAL WILL
BE CANCELLED FOREVER!

Moon says IF ONLY THERE WERE
SOMETHING WE COULD DO!

Stanley says IT WON'T BE EASY, MOON.
THOSE STORKS ARE MASTERS
OF
COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE.

Ollie says COMMEDIA DELL WHO-TAY?

Stanley says IT'S A KIND OF ITALIAN PLAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

He gets into his shell and takes out a book.

He continues SEE? OLD STORIES TOLD
IN FUNNY COSTUMES!

Moon says OH! THEY WEAR TRADITIONAL
VENETIAN MASKS LIKE MINE!
THAT I HAVE RIGHT
HERE. READY TO WEAR.

Stanley says EXACTLY LIKE YOURS!

Ollie says PLUS COSTUMES AND PROPS
JUST LIKE MOON HAS HERE
IN HER COSTUME TRUNK.

Stanley says EXACTLY LIKE THOSE.
[SIGHS]
IF ONLY WE COULD HELP!
OH WELL.

Ollie and Moon say I'M HAVING
A BRAINSTORM!

Ollie says STANLEY, WE HAVE EVERYTHING
WE NEED TO DO THE SHOW
FOR TUCCI!

Stanley says REALLY?

Moon says HAVE NO FEAR.
MOON, THE ACTOR, IS HERE.

Moon gets into the trunk and appears wearing a wig and a dress.

Stanley says WELL, I HAVE A LITTLE FEAR.
BUT ANYTHING FOR TUCCI!

(music plays)
They take a taxi to the airport.

Moon goes on the escalator and says WEEEEE!

The plane takes off to Italy.

The flight attendant says NOW ARRIVING IN VENICE,
ITALY. YAY!

Tucci waits on a deck.

Tucci says STANLEY!

Stanley says TUCCI!

Tucci says STANLEY!

Stanley says TUCCI!

Tucci says MOON! OLLIE! YOU'VE COME
TO SAVE MY FESTIVAL!

Ollie looks sick.

Tucci says UM, WHAT'S WITH HIM?

Moon says SOMETIMES HE GETS WOOZY ON BOAT
RIDES. DON'T WORRY I'VE GOT HIM!

Tucci says OKAY. HERE'S THE SCRIPT;
A TRADITIONAL STORY ABOUT
A SHEPHERD AND A LION.

Moon says OH I KNOW THIS ONE! A SHEPHERD
HELPS A LION BY TAKING A THORN
OUT OF ITS PAW...

Tucci says SI! AND LATER, THE LION HELPS
THE SHEPHERD, TOO!

Stanley says IT'S PERFECT FOR YOU TWO! YOU
HELP EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME!

Moon says I GUESS WE DO!
AND WE CAN HELP YOU PUT ON THE
BEST SHOW THE CITY HAS EVER SEEN
BY HELPING EACH OTHER!

Nervous, Tucci says HUH! I SURE
HOPE SO, MOON...

Animals stand in front of a stage.

Goat says I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Animals say OH!
GIOVANNI!
[crowd hushes]

Stanley says WHO'S THE RODENT?

Tucci says GIOVANNI! THE MOST FEARED
THEATER CRITIC IN ALL ITALIA!
IF HE WRITES SOMETHING NICE
ON HIS BLOG, THE FESTIVAL
WILL BE OKAY.
BUT IF HE DOESN'T... IT'S OVER.

Ollie and Moon say LET'S DO THIS!

The curtain opens. Ollie appears dressed as a shepherd.

Androcles says HELLO, FRIENDS! I AM ANDROCLES,
THE SHEPHERD. ANYONE SEEN
MY SHEEP?

Moon appears wearing a lion head.

Androcles says AAAA!

Androcles says YOU'RE NOT A SHEEP!

Lion says ROAAAR!

Androcles says YEAH, I HEARD
YOU THE FIRST TIME!
[laughs]

Tucci says SO FAR SO GOOD!

Stanley says AND WITH THESE TWO, IT'S
ONLY GONNA GET BETTER!

Androcles says NICE MEETING YOU, MR. LION,
BUT I GOTTA FIND MY SHEEP, SO...

Lion says ROOOOOAAAARR!

Androcles whispers UM. MOON? THIS IS WHERE
YOU HOLD UP YOUR PAW,
AND I TAKE THE THORN OUT.

Lion whispers HOW COME THE MOUSE ISN'T
LAUGHING?

Androcles whispers I DUNNO. BUT LET'S STICK
TO THE PLAY, 'KAY?
WHAT'S THAT?
He continues A THORN IN YOUR PAW?
AHEM. I SAID: "WHAT'S
THAT? A THORN IN YOUR PAW?"

Moon removes her lion head.

Moon says I THINK I SHOULD DANCE.

Androcles says WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHERE DOES IT SAY 'DANCE'?

Moon says JUST PLAY ALONG!

Androcles says BUT...

Moon says I GOT MORE! WATCH.

[laughs]
Moon juggles riding a monocycle.

Moon says SEE, OLLIE? THEY LOVE IT!

Ollie says BUT YOU CHANGED THE STORY!

Moon says I KNOW! AND IT'S GONNA BE WAY
BETTER AFTER I CHANGE MORE!
LIKE... THE KING SHOULD BE
A PLANE. THE SHEPHERD SHOULD BE
A POODLE AND IT WOULD BE WAY
FUNNIER IF THE THORN WAS
AN OLD SMELLY RUNNING SHOE.

Ollie says BUT THAT MAKES NO SENSE!
YOU SHOULD JUST STAND THERE
AND SAY THE WORDS!
FOR TUCCI!

Moon says NO I SHOULD JAZZ
THINGS UP FOR TUCCI!
[crowd surprised]
HMPH. I CAN'T WORK LIKE THIS.
I'LL BE IN MY TRAILER.

Ollie says OH YEAH? I'LL BE IN MY TRAILER!

Nervous, Tucci says WOW!
TERRIFICO,
NO? AND NOW
A SHORT INTERMISSION!
GELATO! ON THE HOUSE!

[knock knock]
Stanley says OLLIE? WHAT'S GOING ON?

Ollie says I CAN'T WORK WITH MOON.
SHE WON'T STICK TO THE STORY!

[knock knock]
Stanley says MOON? WILL YOU PLEASE COME OUT?

Moon says I CAN'T WORK WITH OLLIE. HE'S
HOLDING BACK MY CREATIVITY!

Stanley says HUH...
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
OR TUCCI'S FESTIVAL WILL FAIL!

Ollie says FINE, WE'LL EACH PUT ON
THE SHOW OUR OWN WAY. AND
THE AUDIENCE CAN DECIDE
WHICH IS BEST!

Moon says OK! BUT I NEED A ZEBRA,
A POGO STICK AND SIX DOZEN
RED LOLLIPOPS.

Ollie says ALL I NEED IS THE SCRIPT
AND THE STAGE. OR AT LEAST
HALF OF IT!

They cut the stage in half.

Stanley says OH BOY.

Tucci says MAMMA MIA.

Moon says HI, EVERYBODY! THIS IS THE STORY
OF AN ALIEN ON AN ADVENTURE!
ON A ZEBRA! ON A POGO STICK...
WHO GIVES OUT LOLLIPOPS BECAUSE
SHE'S FROM PLANET LOLLIPOP!
THANK YOU! AMAZING RIGHT?
CAN YOU TELL I JUST MADE IT UP?

Giovanni and the audience leave to watch Ollie's play.

Moon says WHAT'S WRONG?
I WAS BEING CREATIVE!

As Androcles, Ollie says HELLO-I-AM-ANDROCLES.
ANYBODY-SEEN-MY-SHEEP-ROAR-ROAR!

An Animal says OH BOY...

Ollie reads AHHH...
AH-YOU'RE-NOT-A-SHEEP-
ROAR-I-HEARD-YOU...
AHHH...

The audience leaves.

Ollie says WHAT'S WRONG?
I FOLLOWED THE STORY!

Tucci says MAMMA MIA!
I'M GOING
TO LOSE EVERYTHING!
OH...

Ollie says MOON? WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

Moon says WE WERE SUPPOSE TO HELP TUCCI
BY HELPING EACH OTHER!

Ollie says MAYBE THE SHOW WOULD'VE BEEN
BETTER WITH A FEW OF YOUR
CHANGES, MOON!

Moon says MAYBE THE SHOW WOULD'VE
BEEN BETTER IF WE'D STUCK
TO THE STORY, OLLIE!

They say I'M HAVING
A BRAINSTORM! LET'S DO THIS!

Next, Androcles takes a thorn out of the lion's paw.

Androcles says THERE YOU GO, MR. LION!
[the audience laughs]

Lion says THANKS! MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL
RETURN YOUR GOOD DEED. SEE YA!

Androcles says SURE. LIKE WHEN AM I GONNA NEED
A GOOD DEED FROM A LION?

[the audience laughs]

The Lion takes off his mask and says I AM THE KING! YOU STOLE MY
SHEEP! GUARDS! THROW HIM
TO THE LIONS!
ROAR! WHO WILL I GET TO EAT
TODAY?

Androcles says ALAS! THIS IS IT.
I JUST HOPE I GET EATEN QUICK.

Lion says HEY! IT'S THE SHEPHERD.
I COULD NEVER EAT HIM!

Androcles says OH! IT'S THE LION I HELPED!

Lion says HEY SHEPHERD! YOU WANNA DANCE?

Androcles says HUH? THAT'S NOT IN THE PLAY!

Lion says EXACTLY!

Androcles says THEN YOU BET I DO!

They sing OPPOSITES
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
WE CAN'T GIVE UP
GIMME A SMILE SAY CHEESE
WE'RE FUNNY BUDDIES
SINGING OUT AND SHOUT
YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND
WE CAN WORK IT OUT
SIDE BY SIDE
WE'RE FUNNY BUDDIES
SINGING OUT AND SHOUT
TWO FRIENDS TOGETHER IS
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
WE CAN WORK IT OUT

Later, the friends sit on their apartment.

Stanley reads THE MADE-UP FUN AND GREAT
STORY MADE A TERRIFIC MIX
AND A SUPER SHOW!
SIGNED GIOVANNI.

Ollie says TUCCI GETS TO KEEP THE FESTIVAL!
WE DID IT, MOON. WE SHOULD DO
ANOTHER SHOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Moon says HAVE NO FEAR, MOON THE
COMMEDIA
DELL'ARTE
SUPERSTAR IS HERE.

Ollie says I HAVE A LITTLE FEAR, BUT I'M
SURE WE'LL WORK IT OUT.

They laugh.

Music plays as the end credits roll.
