At home, 8-year-old Ella, who has curly, dark brown hair, runs down a staircase with a toy rocket ship. She wears a teal space suit and a helmet with animal ears.
[Giggling]
Ella runs into the living room and gives her little sister, Tilly, the rocket ship.
[Upbeat music plays]
A singer sings, COME WITH ME, TO THE STARS.
Ella’s mom picks up Tilly and smiles. Ella runs outside and past her dad.
The singer sings, THE GALAXY IS OURS!
Ella waves to her dad.
She says, BYE DAD!
Ella jumps onto her moon scooter, a circular spacecraft, and takes off.
People say, LET'S GO!
The singer sings, LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER.
INTER-STELLAR.
Ella flies over a planet with Madhu, a blue and green alien, Slippy, a black-haired boy who flies a red spacecraft and Glitch, Slippy’s small robot.

INTER-STELLAR.
Ella flies on Madhu.
The singer sings, LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE.
Ella and Slippy explore a planet together with Maggie, Ella’s holographic A.I. star. Elsewhere in space, Slippy and Madhu look startled.

[Gentle music plays]
Outside Ella’s house, a person speeds past on a space board.
[Whooshing]
Inside, Ella sits on the living room couch with a tablet. Her mom sits at the kitchen island with a tablet. The person on a board zooms past the windows.
[Whooshing]
[Ella gasping]
Ella turns and looks outside.
She says, WHAT WAS THAT?
[Upbeat music plays]
The person on the board glides past Ella.
Ella says, HUH?
Shed climbs onto the back of the couch and looks outside.
Ella says, WHOA!
She watches the person on the board do a flip. The person has long, red hair and wears a purple space suit.
Ella says, INTERSTELLAR!
The red-haired person zooms past the windows and flies in a loop toward the house. Ella jumps back onto the couch and quickly grabs her tablet. She peaks toward the door as the red-haired person walks inside with their board. The red-haired person wears their long hair in high pigtails. They kick their board against the wall.
At the table, Ella’s mom says, QUITE THE ENTRANCE ANGELIE.
Angelie, the red-haired person, says, NEEDED TO BURN OFF
SOME ENERGY.
Angelie walks further into the house. Ella glances at Angelie and quickly looks back at her tablet. Angelie pauses and smiles at Ella.
Ella’s mom says, ELLA!
PERFECT TIMING.
MEET MY NEW FIELD ASSISTANT!
Angelie walks over to Ella.
Angelie says, HEY, HI I'M ANGELIE.
FRIENDS CALL ME ANG.
Angelie sticks her pinky and thumb out and folds her other fingers down. Ella puts her tablet on the couch.
Ella says, HI, I'M ELLA.
She slides off the couch.
Ella continues, MY FRIENDS CALL ME ELL…
Ella sticks out her pinky and thumb and folds down her other fingers.
Ella says, …A.
[Ella laughing nervously]
Ella says, YOU'RE AMAZING ON YOUR BOARD.
Angelie says, THANKS.
SO, WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON
TODAY, MS. RYDER?
Ella’s mom, Ms. Ryder, steps away from the kitchen island with her tablet.
She says, IT JUST SO
HAPPENS THAT LAST NIGHT
I DISCOVERED A NEW STAR!
A BLUE SUPERGIANT NEAR
THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY!
Ms. Ryder shows Ella and Angelie a large, blue star on her tablet.
Ella says, A NEW STAR!
I WANT TO SEE!
She runs to the window and looks outside through a telescope.
Ella says, UM… I DON'T SEE A BLUE
STAR, MOM.
Angelie says, LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
She looks through the telescope.
Angelie frowns and says, SHE'S RIGHT MS. RYDER.
NO BLUE STAR.
Angelie steps back and Ms. Ryder looks through the telescope.
Ms. Ryder says, THAT IS SO....
STRANGE.
She looks at the star on her tablet.
Ella asks, HOW COULD A STAR JUST DISAPPEAR?
Maggie appears and says, THERE ARE MANY REASONS
A STAR MAY DISAPPEAR.
ELLA, IT MAY BE ECLIPSED
BY ANOTHER OBJECT.
GO SUPERNOVA MERGED TOGETHER
WITH ANOTHER STAR
OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY.
Angelie says, COOL ROBOT STAR THING.
Maggie says, I AM A HOLOGRAPHIC A.I.
ENCYCLOPAEDIA, ACTUALLY.
I AM CALLED MAGGIE.
Angelie says, NICE TO MEET YOU.
HEY, MS. RYDER.
WANT ME TO GO
CHECK ON YOUR STAR?
SEE WHAT'S UP.
Ms. Ryder says, THAT WOULD BE GREAT,
ANGELIE, THANK YOU.
Ella says, I'M COMING, TOO!
She runs up to Angelie.
Ella says, I CAN BE A FIELD ASSISTANT…
ASSISTANT!
Angelie glances at Ms. Ryder.
Ms. Ryder says, GREAT IDEA, ELLA.
Ella looks at Angelie hopefully.
Angelie says, ALL RIGHT, KEEP UP, THEN.
ELL - A.
Angelie carries her space board to the door. Ella pumps her fist and follows.
[Upbeat music plays]
Outside, Angelie zooms through space on her board and Ella flies her moon scooter. Angelie flips her board.
Ella says, WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DO THAT?
Angelie says, GREW UP ON A MOON COLONY.
BUILT MY BOARD
WHEN I WAS, LIKE, SIX.
Ella says, YOU'RE A MOON PERSON?
THAT'S INTERSTELLAR!
Angelie says, SURE...
I GUESS.
She shrugs. Angelie and Ella fly toward clusters of stars. Maggie appears from Ella’s wristband and hovers in front of Ella and Angelie.
Maggie says, ALERT.
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING
THE GALACTIC CENTER.
Angelie and Ella slow down.
Maggie warns, STARS HERE ARE MORE DENSELY
PACKED TOGETHER THAN YOU ARE
USED TO.
ELLA.
Ella looks at the bright stars around her.
Angelie says, THERE'S LIKE,
A MILLION STARS CRAMMED IN HERE.
IT'S WILD.
Ella says, A MILLION MINUS ONE, REMEMBER?
I'LL BE CAREFUL, MAGGIE.
BUT WE GOT TO FIND MY MOM'S
MISSING STAR.
LET'S GO!
She races ahead. Angelie follows.
[Upbeat music continues]
Ella and Angelie fly around the many stars in the Galactic Centre. Angelie carries a tablet with a picture of the blue star. Ella looks disappointed. She meets up with Angelie.
Ella says, MAYBE MOM'S STAR EXPLODED?
Maggie appears and says, WE WOULD SEE
SIGNS OF A SUPERNOVA IF IT HAD.
Ella starts to float away from Angelie.
Ella says, WHAT IF –
Maggie says, ALERT!
ELLA,
WE ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE STAR,
AND ITS GRAVITY
IS PULLING US IN.
[Dramatic music plays]
Ella turns toward a star on her right.
She yelps, WHOA!
A LITTLE HELP!
Angelie zooms around Ella. She grabs Ella’s moon scooter and pulls her away from the star.
Ella says, PHEW!
THANKS.
Angelie says, NO PROB.
BUT CAN I GIVE YOU A FIELD
ASSISTANT TIP?
Ella says, SURE!
I LOVE TIPS.
Angelie says, YOU GOT TO CHILL A BIT.
SLOW DOWN AND
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Ella says, SLOW DOWN?
BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIND MOM'S
STAR NOW!
Angelie says, RIGHT.
BUT IF YOU DO THINGS TOO FAST,
YOU'LL MAKE MISTAKES
OR MISS THINGS.
TRUST ME.
Ella says, OKAY.
GOT IT.
I WILL DEFINITELY BE SUPER CHILL
FROM NOW ON.
NOW, LET'S GO!
She flies away.
Angelie comments, THIS GIRL IS NOTHING
LIKE HER MOM.
Angelie follows Ella through the Galactic Centre. Ella looks determined.
[Ella gasping]
Ella stops and says, WHOA!
Ella and Angelie look surprised.
Ella says, THAT'S THE BIGGEST BLACK HOLE
I'VE EVER SEEN!
She stares at a large, black dot in the centre of yellow and orange swirling clouds surrounded by bright pink, yellow and orange stars. Asteroids float toward the black dot.
Angelie says, YEAH,
IT'S THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE
AT THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY.
Ella says, I KNEW THAT.
I JUST...
She looks away.
Ella says, UMMM....
Maggie says, ACCORDING TO MY RECORDS,
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS TOPIC,
ELLA.
[Ella laughing nervously]
Maggie says, THIS FASCINATING AREA OF
SPACE IS KNOWN AS SAGITTARIUS A.
IT IS THE MOST EXTREME
ENVIRONMENT IN THE KNOWN GALAXY.
The bright stars move toward the black hole
Ella asks, IS THE BLACK HOLE
DOING SOMETHING TO THESE STARS?
Angelie says, VERY OBSERVANT, ELLA.
THE BLACK HOLE'S
GRAVITY IS SO STRONG
THAT ALL THE NEARBY STARS ORBIT
IT ERRATICALLY.
Ms. Ryder appears in a Com Bubble.
She says, HEY, GIRLS.
I JUST WANTED TO CHECK-IN
AND SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
Angelie says, JUST GOT TO
THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY.
NO ANSWERS YET, BUT I'M SURE
I'LL FIGURE IT OUT SOON.
Ella says, YOUR FIELD ASSISTANTS
ARE ON THE CASE, MOM.
YOU CAN COUNT ON US.
Ms. Ryder says, GREAT TO HEAR IT.
STAY SAFE
AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND.
The Com Bubble pops.
[Popping]
Blue light flares out of the black hole in wavy strands.
[Angelic music plays]
Ella says, WHOA!
She turns to Angelie.
Ella asks, SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?
Angelie says, WE SHOULD LOOK AROUND IN CASE
THE STAR WAS
SLINGSHOT OUT OF HERE.
[Ella giggling]
Ella says, GREAT!
LET'S GO!
She spins her moon scooter. Angelie stares at her.
Ella says, I MEAN… LET'S GO.
She flies away from Angelie.
[Inquisitive music plays]
Ella and Angelie fly alongside the swirls around the black hole among many colourful stars. Ella glances at Angelie. On her tablet, Angelie marks a section of a map red.
[Beeping]
Angelie and Ella continue their search. Angelie marks two other sections of the map red. Ella looks bored. Angelie marks other sections of the map until the section with the black hole remains. Ella and Angelie stop a safe distance away from the black hole’s orbit.
Ella says, AT THIS RATE, WE'LL NEVER FIGURE
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOM'S
STAR.
Angelie says, CHILL.
LET'S GATHER MORE INFO
AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES US.
Ella lowers her gaze. She looks toward the black hole.
Angelie says, HEY, WASN'T
THE STUFF AROUND THE BLACK HOLE
GIVING OFF FLARES BEFORE...
Angelie grabs a device off the back of her board.
Ella says, WHOA!
INTERSTELLAR!
The device hovers beside Ella.
Ella says, THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
SLIPPY WOULD MAKE, BUT SHINIER!
Angelie says, IT'S A REMOTE CONTROL PROBE.
WANT TO TAKE IT FOR A SPIN?
She tosses Ella a remote.
Ella says, DO I?!
She flies the probe toward the black hole’s orbit.
[Upbeat music plays]
Ella watches a projection showing the location of the probe.
Ella says, BEST FIELD ASSISTANT
ASSISTING EVER!
Angelie smiles. She glances toward the black hole and frowns.
Angelie says, HEY, UH, FIELD
ASSISTANT - ASSISTANT?
YOU MIGHT WANT TO WATCH OUT
FOR THAT.
[Intense music plays]
A large star slowly moves toward the black hole.
Maggie appears and says, ALERT.
YOUR PROBE IS DIRECTLY
IN THE PATH OF THAT STAR.
Ella says, OH, NO!
She franticly jerks the joystick on the remote around and the probe moves back and forth.
[Ella grunting]
Angelie says, IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
PROBE'S THRUSTERS ARE TOO WEAK.
Ella tosses the remote to Angelie.
Ella says, BUT MY SCOOTER'S NOT!
She zooms toward the prob as the large star moves closer.
[Upbeat music plays]
Maggie projects a runway under Ella’s moon scooter. Arrows point to the runway.
Maggie says, YOU MUST STAY WITHIN
THESE ARROWS TO AVOID BEING
PULLED INTO THE BLACK HOLE.
Ella says, GOT IT!
THANKS, MAGGIE!
The probe leaves Maggie’s runway safe zone.
Ella says, OH, NO!
THE PROBE'S GONE OUTSIDE
THE SAFE ZONE!
She launches her space grappler at the probe.
[Ella grunting]
Ella says, IF I LOSE THE PROBE,
I'LL BE THE WORST FIELD
ASSISTANT - ASSISTANT EVER!
She pulls the space grappler cable back.
Maggie says, ALERT.
ELLA,
YOU MUST GET OUT OF HERE.
THE PROBE IS TOO FAR AWAY, AND
THE STAR IS APPROACHING QUICKLY.
Ella says, BUT I…
She starts reeling in the grappler cable.
Maggie says, NOW, ELLA.
Ella abandons the probe and flies away from the approaching star. The large star enters the black hole’s orbit. Ella joins Angelie with a look of disappointment.
Chuckling, Angelie says, YOU FORGET THE PROBE?
[Ella groaning]
Ella says, I COULDN'T SAVE IT.
NOW WE’LL
NEVER KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO MOM’S STAR!
Angelie says, IT'S OKAY.
HAPPENS TO EVERYONE, CHILL.
Ella says, CHILL.
THERE'S GOTTA BE
SOME OTHER CLUES AROUND HERE.
IF I JUST SLOW DOWN
AND LOOK AROUND.
Ella looks around her. She watches the black hole suck the large star into its centre and yellow light flare out in wavy strands.
[Whooshing]
Ella says, WAIT A MINUTE.
THE STUFF AROUND THE BLACK
HOLE IS FLARING UP AGAIN.
Angelie says, YEAH.
IT JUST PULLED IN A STAR.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
Ella says, BUT IT WAS FLARING UP LIKE THAT
WHEN WE GOT HERE.
Angelie says, WHICH MEANS...
She waits for Ella’s response.
Ella says, MOM'S STAR
WAS PULLED INTO THE BLACK HOLE,
JUST LIKE THIS STAR!
Angelie says, BRILLIANT THEORY ELLA!
THAT'S GOT TO BE IT.
WOO-HOO!
Angelie jumps and pumps her fist in the air.
She says, UM, I MEAN, NICE ONE.
I GUESS
[Ella laughing]
Angelie and Ella fist bump.
Back home, Ella says, WHEN THE PROBE WAS ABOUT
TO GET DESTROYED,
I THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST!
Ella sits on a bench by a window. Beside her, Angelie leans against the bench and Ms. Ryder stands by the telescope.
Ella says, BUT THEN I STOPPED AND CHILLED.
Angelie says, THAT'S WHEN WE REALIZED
THAT YOUR STAR WAS MOST LIKELY –
Ella says, SPAGHETTI-FIED BY THE BLACK
HOLE'S GRAVITY!
Maggie appears and shows a star circling inside the black hole’s orbit. The black hole pulls the star in and releases flares of light.
Ms. Ryder says, FASCINATING.
GREAT JOB, YOU TWO.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE
A GREAT TEAM.
Angelie says, GOTTA SAY MS. RYDER,
ELLA WAS PRETTY COOL
UNDER PRESSURE.
I HOPE I CAN BE AS GOOD A FIELD
ASSISTANT TO YOU AS SHE WAS
TO ME.
Ella asks, BEST FIELD
ASSISTANT - ASSISTANT EVER?
Angelie says, TOTALLY,
ELL-A!

WHEN WE GOT HERE.
Angelie says, WHICH MEANS...
She waits for Ella’s response.
Ella says, MOM'S STAR
WAS PULLED INTO THE BLACK HOLE,
JUST LIKE THIS STAR!
Angelie says, BRILLIANT THEORY ELLA!
THAT'S GOT TO BE IT.
WOO-HOO!
Angelie jumps and pumps her fist in the air.
She says, UM, I MEAN, NICE ONE.
I GUESS
[Ella laughing]
Angelie and Ella fist bump.
Back home, Ella says, WHEN THE PROBE WAS ABOUT
TO GET DESTROYED,
I THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST!
Ella sits on a bench by a window. Beside her, Angelie leans against the bench and Ms. Ryder stands by the telescope.
Ella says, BUT THEN I STOPPED AND CHILLED.
Angelie says, THAT'S WHEN WE REALIZED
THAT YOUR STAR WAS MOST LIKELY –
Ella says, SPAGHETTI-FIED BY THE BLACK
HOLE'S GRAVITY!
Maggie appears and shows a star circling inside the black hole’s orbit. The black hole pulls the star in and releases flares of light.
Ms. Ryder says, FASCINATING.
GREAT JOB, YOU TWO.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE
A GREAT TEAM.
Angelie says, GOTTA SAY MS. RYDER,
ELLA WAS PRETTY COOL
UNDER PRESSURE.
I HOPE I CAN BE AS GOOD A FIELD
ASSISTANT TO YOU AS SHE WAS
TO ME.
Ella asks, BEST FIELD
ASSISTANT - ASSISTANT EVER?
Angelie says, TOTALLY,
ELL-A!
[Laughing]
