A child says, WHEE!

TVO Kids and Apartment Eleven Productions and Fabrique Fantastique, Original.

[Child giggles, upbeat music plays, pop]

Eight-year-old Ella, who has curly black hair, runs down a staircase carrying a toy rocket ship. She wears a blue-green space suit and a helmet with animal ears.
[Children laugh, rock music plays]
Ella enters a living room and gives her little sister, Tilly, the rocket ship.
A singer sings, COME WITH ME TO THE STARS
THE GALAXY IS OURS!
Ella’s mom picks up Tilly and smiles as Ella runs outside. Outside the house, in outer space, Ella runs past her dad.

Children say, LET'S GO!

Singers sing, LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER,
INTER-STELLAR.

Ella flies her moon scooter over a planet with Madhu, a blue and green alien, and Slippy, a black-haired boy who flies a red space racer.

[Glitch whirrs]

Singers sing, LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR,
INTER-STELLAR.

[Background shouting]

Singers sing, LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE
COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY!
Ella and Slippy explore a planet together with Maggie, a blue star. Elsewhere in space, Slippy and Madhu look startled.

They say, WOAH!

They dodge Ella and her moon scooter.

The singer sings, COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY!

Ella and her family sit on a spacecraft.

The singer sings, LOOK UP!
INTERSTELLAR ELLA.

Text reads, “TVO Kids presents Interstellar Ella.”

[Upbeat music plays]

In space, Slippy, Ella, and Madhu dodge asteroids.

Ella says, COME ON, GUYS.
WHATEVER THIS MYSTERY PLANET
IS, WE'VE GOT TO CATCH UP TO IT.

Madhu says, I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET
NEW MYSTERY PLANET FRIENDS.

[Whooshing, creaking]

Maggie, a star-shaped artificial intelligence hologram, floats beside Ella’s moon scooter. Maggie projects a screen with planets orbiting the sun. The planet closest to the sun moves out of orbit, away from the sun.

Maggie says, IT IS NOT JUST A MYSTERY PLANET.
IT IS A ROGUE PLANET.
THEY ARE LIKE OTHER PLANETS,
BUT HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT
OF THEIR SOLAR SYSTEM.

Ella says, WHOA. LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
QUICK!

Slippy powers up the boosters on the back of his space racer.

[Rumbling]

Slippy says, THERE!
I JUST ADDED MY SELF-MADE
NITRO BOOSTERS.

LET'S BOOST IT UP.

Ella throws a towline to Slippy. He connects it to his space racer and tows the moon scooter behind him.

[Clicking, rumbling]

Ella says, PEDAL TO THE METAL SLIPPY!

Slippy, Ella, Madhu, and Maggie fly over the rogue planet's spiky, dark purple surface.

[Engines whirr]

Ella says, WHOA.

IT'S PRETTY DARK ON THIS PLANET.

Maggie says, WITHOUT A STAR TO ORBIT,
ROGUE PLANETS HAVE ALMOST NO LIGHT.
SO EVEN IF IT IS DAYTIME FOR US,
IT LOOKS LIKE NIGHT DOWN THERE.

Slippy says, COOL.

Maggie says, IT IS MORE THAN COOL, SLIPPY.
ROGUE PLANETS ARE ACTUALLY VERY COLD
AND FILLED WITH ICY MOUNTAINS.

[Upbeat music plays]

Ella says, ICY MOUNTAINS. YOU SAY?
HERE WE GO.

Ella and Slippy slide down an icy mountain towards the surface.

[Ella laughs]

Slippy shouts, WHOA!

Maggie says, ALERT.

THE INTERIOR OF YOUNG ROGUE
PLANETS CAN STILL BE HOT.

THE HEAT FROM UNDERGROUND
CAN CAUSE THE ICY SURFACE
TO BURST OPEN.

Slabs of ice rise in front of Ella’s moon scooter.

Ella shouts, WHOA!

Ella and Slippy fall off their vehicles and slide on the ice.

[Shouting]

Madhu flies into a hole beneath the ice slabs.

Madhu shouts, I'M OKAY.

A flat piece of ice falls on top of the hole.

[Crumbling]

Madhu shouts (muffled), I'M STILL OKAY.

Ella stands alone on the ice.

[Rustling]

Ella says, WHOA. WHERE ARE WE, MAGGIE?

[Ella gasps]

Ella says, OH NO.
MY MAGGIE BRACELET MUST HAVE
FALLEN OFF IN THE CRASH.

Ella shouts, MAGGIE.

Ella asks, AND WHERE'S MY SCOOTER?

[Whirring]

Ella says, GLITCH. GLITCH?

Glitch lies with his head in a crevice in the ice. Ella runs to Glitch and picks him up.

[Beeping, whirring, footsteps rustle]

Ella says, YOU DON'T LIKE TIGHT SPACES,
DO YOU? WHERE S SLIPPY?

[Glitch beeps]

Ella says, SORRY.
I DON'T SPEAK BLEEP.
LET'S CALL SLIPPY.

Ella creates a com-bubble, and it pops.

[Beeping]

Ella says, ARGH, NO SCOOTERS AND
NO COM-BUBBLES.

GLITCH, CAN YOU PROJECT A MAP OF THIS
ROGUE PLANET?

[Glitch beeps]

Ella says, I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T.

Slippy sits up, alone on the ice.

Slippy says, OH. THAT WASN'T EXACTLY A SOFT
LANDING, WAS IT?

Slippy rubs his knee.

[Rustling, clanking]

Slippy shouts, GLITCH? GLITCH?

SOME ROGUE PLANET'S
LAUNCH ALONE.

[Background chatter, running footsteps crunch]

Slippy says, MAGGIE.

Maggie floats beside an ice formation.

Maggie says, SOME TAKE THEIR MOONS
WITH THEM WHEN THEY ARE
KICKED OUT OF THEIR COSMIC HOMES
AND SOME PLANETS.

Slippy says, MAGGIE.

Maggie says, SLIPPY. HELLO.
MY APOLOGIES.

I WAS PREPARING SOME FUN FACTS
FOR LATER.

DID YOU KNOW SOME ROGUE PLANETS
HAVE A REALLY THICK ATMOSPHERE?

Slippy says, THAT'S INTERESTING, MAGGIE,
BUT WE HAVE TO FIND ELLA,
MADHU, AND GLITCH.

Slippy picks up the Maggie bracelet and puts it on his wrist.

[Footsteps crunch]

Slippy shouts, ELLA? MADHU? GLITCH?

Slippy’s boots spark.

[Zapping]

Slippy says, OH, NO. MY BOOTS ARE BROKEN.

QUICK. MAGGIE,
HAND ME A SCREWDRIVER.

Maggie says, I WOULD LOVE TO, EXCEPT
I DO NOT HAVE A SCREWDRIVER
OR HANDS.

Slippy says, RIGHT. YOU'RE A HOLOGRAM.
SO YOU CAN'T PACK ANYTHING?

Maggie says, I HAVE PACKED
A LOT OF INFORMATION.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

Slippy asks, HOW CAN I FIX MY BOOTS?

[Zapping]

Maggie says, WITH A SCREWDRIVER.

Madhu floats alone in the hole.

Madhu shouts, HELLO, FRIENDS?

[Creaking]

Madhu says, IT'S SO DARK IN HERE.

Madhu glows.

Madhu says, OH!

Madhu waves to their reflection on the icy walls.

Madhu says, HI OTHER MADHU. OH!

[Laughs]

Madhu’s reflection moves on three walls and the floor.

Madhu says, HI NEW ME FRIENDS.
HAVE YOU SEEN MY OTHER FRIENDS?

On the surface of the planet, Ella walks across the ice. Glitch follows her.

[Glitch beeps, whirring, footsteps crunch]

Ella says, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO FIND THEM
AT THIS RATE. OH.

WHAT IF I USE YOU
AS A SLED GLITCH?

[Glitch beeps, footsteps crunch]

Ella says, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NO.
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP, BUDDY.

LET'S SAY ONE BEEP MEANS
NO, AND TWO BEEPS MEAN YES.

[Glitch beeps twice]

Ella says, GREAT. AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

WITHOUT MAGGIE,
WE'VE GOT TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.
ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW?

[Glitch beeps once, Ella sighs]

Ella says, NO, SLIPPY
ALWAYS PACK SO MUCH STUFF.
MAYBE SOMETHING IN THERE CAN HELP.

Glitch opens his front compartment. Tools and building supplies fall onto the ice.

[Clattering, Glitch beeps three times]

Ella says, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

[Glitch beeps three times]

Ella says, WAIT, DO
I HAVE TO BUILD SOMETHING?

[Glitch beeps twice]

Ella says, OKAY.
SHOULD I USE THIS THEN?

[Glitch beeps once]

Ella asks, WHAT ABOUT THIS?

[Glitch beeps twice]

Ella asks, HOW DOES SLIPPY DO THIS?

Glitch extends his arm and rests it on Ella’s shoulder. Ella smiles.

[Glitch beeps three times]

Ella begins building a device.

[Upbeat music plays, clicking, Glitch beeps]

[Glitch beeps three times]

Elsewhere on the planet, Slippy looks up at a tall ice pillar.

Slippy asks, HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO GET UP THERE WITHOUT GLITCH
OR ANY EQUIPMENT?

The ice shakes beneath Slippy.

Slippy says, UH-OH, PLEASE TELL ME
THAT'S NOT WHAT I THINK IT IS.

Maggie says, I CANNOT READ YOUR THOUGHTS,
BUT I CAN READ SIGNALS OF STRESS
ON THE PLANET'S SURFACE.

IT MAY BURST OPEN AGAIN
ANY MINUTE NOW.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOUR HEART RATE WENT UP.

Slippy says, NO, YOU JUST SAID THE SPOT
I'M STANDING ON MIGHT BURST OPEN.

[Gentle music plays]

Maggie says, WHEN ELLA IS STRESSED.
SHE DOES BREATHING EXERCISES.
SLOWLY BREATHE IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE.

Slippy says, I'VE GOT TO DO THIS.
I'VE GOT TO BE BRAVE LIKE ELLA.

Maggie says, AND WITH ME BY
YOUR SIDE, YOU CAN BE BRAVE SAFELY.
LIKE ELLA.

Maggie projects a dotted line across a rocky ridge.

[Whirring]

Slippy says, OH, NO.
I NEED TO GET ACROSS.

[Inhales, exhales]

Slippy says, ALL RIGHT.
I CAN DO THIS. I DO LOVE TO CLIMB.

Slippy deploys his grapple hook and climbs up the side of an ice pillar.

[Clicking, whirring]

Inside the hole, Madhu flies towards a hole in the ice.

Madhu asks, COULD THAT BE THE WAY OUT?

OH, THERE IT IS. COME ON FRIENDS.

Madhu flies through the hole. They turn and look back through the hole.

[Madhu creaks]

Madhu says, OH, I DON'T LIKE LEAVING
FRIENDS BEHIND. BUT I HAVE TO GO.
OH, I'LL MISS YOU, TOO.

Elsewhere on the planet, Ella snaps a piece into place on her device.

[Click]

Ella says, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
I JUST BUILT.

THIS IS SAFE, RIGHT?

[Whirring, Glitch beeps, beeping]

A screen on the top of the device lights up.

[Upbeat music plays]

Ella says, OH. IT'S A VIBRATION DETECTOR.
THAT'S GENIUS.

NO, I CAN DETECT SLIPPY S
AND MADHU S FOOTSTEPS.

[Glitch cheers]

Ella says, OH, NOTHING. HMM.
MAYBE I NEED MORE POWER
OR SOME EXTRA SENSORS.

Glitch passes two antennae to Ella. She attaches them to the front of her detector.

[Glitch beeps, gentle music plays, rattling]

Ella says, ALL RIGHT, LET'S TRY AGAIN,
GLITCH.

[Glitch beeps three times]

Ella says, THREE BEEPS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Ella hugs Glitch.

[Ella laughs]

Elsewhere on the planet, Slippy reaches the top of the ice mountain. He looks at the flat top of an ice pillar.

[Snow crunches]

Slippy says, I'VE GOT TO GET ACROSS.
MAYBE I CAN SEE MY FRIENDS
FROM UP THERE.

Maggie says, BE CAREFUL.
THOSE LANDINGS
DO NOT LOOK VERY STABLE.

Slippy says, I'M GLAD YOU'RE KEEPING
ME SAFE, MAGGIE.

BUT A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
WOULD BE NICE TOO.

Maggie says, ACKNOWLEDGED DOWNLOADING,
CHEERLEADING PROGRAM.

Pompoms appear at the ends of two of Maggie’s star tips. Slippy rolls his eyes.

Maggie says, S. L. I.P.P.Y.
GO SLIPPY.

[Slippy breathes deeply, exciting music plays, whirring]

Slippy backs up. He runs forward and shoots his grappling hook. He lands near the top of the next pillar and walks to the top.

Slippy says, IT WORKED! YAY!

Maggie creates a horn. The pillar shakes.

[Horn blows, exciting music plays, crumbling]

Slippy says, OH, NO.
THIS PILLAR'S BREAKING!

[Slippy screams]

A flashing dot appears on the vibration detector screen.

[Beeping]

Ella says, GLITCH! A BIG ONE.
LET'S GO.

Ella runs towards the vibration.

[Whirring, tense music plays]

Slippy jumps from one ice pillar to another. The pillar tips and Slippy jumps toward the surface of the planet. He deploys his grappling hook, which attaches to a cliff face. He climbs up and lands in front of Ella and Glitch.

[Ella gasps, cracking]

Ella shouts, SLIPPY!

[Clinking]

Slippy says, PHEW!

Ella runs to Slippy and hugs him.

Ella shouts, SLIPPY!
THAT WAS SO BRAVE.

[Glitch beeps, gentle music plays]

Slippy says, IT'S EASY
IF YOU HAVE MAGGIE BY YOUR SIDE.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

Ella gestures towards her vibration detector. Slippy runs to it.

[Footsteps crunch]

Slippy says, WHOA! YOU MADE THAT?

Ella says, WITH A LOT OF HELP
FROM MY PAL.

[Glitch beeps]

Slippy gives Ella the Maggie bracelet.

Ella says, I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU
BACK, MAGGIE.

Maggie says, IT IS A PLEASURE TO ASSIST YOU
AGAIN.

Slippy says, COME ON.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

WE HAVE TO FIND MADHU.

[Detector beeps]

Ella says, THE DETECTOR DOESN'T
WORK WITH ALL THIS RUMBLING.
MAYBE WE CAN GET MADHU
TO FIND US.

GLITCH CAN FLY HIGH IN THE AIR
AND TURN ON HIS LIGHT
LIKE A BEACON.

Slippy says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
MADHU WILL TOTALLY SEE THAT.

Glitch extends his rocket booster, and thick smoke comes out.

[Glitch beeps, rockets sputter, Slippy coughs]

Slippy says, UH-OH. YOUR ROCKETS
MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGE
WHEN WE ALL CRASHED.

Ella says, WELL,
IF WE CAN'T GET GLITCH TO GO UP
MAYBE WE CAN GET HIM TO GO DOWN.

LIGHT UP A PATH FOR
MADHU TO FIND US.

[Glitch beeps, whirrs]

Ella says, OH, YEAH. YOU'RE
A LITTLE SCARED OF TIGHT SPACES.

[Glitch beeps]

Slippy says, I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED,
BUDDY, BUT WE'RE ALL HERE
TO HELP YOU.

[Glitch beeps]

Ella and Slippy hold Glitch, who shines his light into a crevice.

Madhu shouts, SLIPPY! ELLA! FRIENDS.

Madhu flies above Slippy and Ella.

Ella shouts, MADHU!

[Clattering]

Ella and Slippy pull Glitch back up to the surface. Madhu hugs Slippy and Ella.

Madhu says, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

The ground shakes.

[Madhu shouts]

Ella says, WE BETTER FIND OUR SCOOTERS
AND GET OUT OF HERE.

Slippy points and says, THERE THEY ARE.

The ice cracks in front of Ella and Slippy.

[Cracking]

Maggie says, WE SHOULD GET OFF THIS
PLANET SOON.

Ice crumbles at the sides of the crack, and a wide crevice opens.

[Rumbling]

Slippy says, LET'S JUMP OVER THE CREVICE.

Ella says, WAIT!
YOU WON T MAKE IT
WITH THOSE BROKEN BOOTS.
LET ME FIX THEM.

Ella fixes Slippy’s boot.

[Grinding, gentle music plays]

Slippy says, THANKS.
THEY'RE PERFECT

They fly over the crevice to their vehicles and take off.

[Exciting music plays, whooshing]

[Madhu laughs, whirring]

In space, Madhu says, BYE ROGUE PLANET.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
TOMORROW?

Slippy asks, RIDE A METEOR STORM?

Ella says, OR WE COULD BUILD SOMETHING?

[Glitch beeps]

Ella says, GREAT!
THAT'S A YES.

Madhu says, ELLA?
YOU CAN SPEAK GLITCH NOW?

Ella replies, I'M WORKING ON IT.

[Everyone laughs, Glitch beeps]

[Rock music plays]

The singer sings, COME WITH ME TO THE STARS
THE GALAXY IS OURS!

Children say, LET'S GO!

Singers sing, LOOK AT ALL THE WONDER,
INTER-STELLAR.

LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR,
INTER-STELLAR.

LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE
COME EXPLORE THE MILKY WAY!

LOOK UP!
INTERSTELLAR ELLA.
