[Soft music plays]

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.

The signer sings, LOOK UP SO MUCH SPLENDOUR.
INTER-STELLAR.

Ella flies on Madhu.

The singer sings, LOOK OUT FOR ADVENTURE.

Ella and Slippy explore a planet together with Maggie, Ella’s smart bracelet A.I. star. Elsewhere in space, Slippy and Madhu look startled.

They say, WOAH!

They serve away from 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.

Ella, her family, and her friends admire a giant colourful cloud together. Text reads, t.v.o.kids Presents, Interstellar Ella.

[Exciting music plays]

A device floating through space projects an icon of a star.

[Beeping]

From close by, Ella cheers, YES, WE FOUND IT!

She flies toward the device on her moon scooter. Slippy flies on one side of Ella on his space racer and Madhu flies on the other.

Ella says, GO, TEAM US!

Madhu says, OPEN IT!
OPEN IT!

Ella tosses a square-shaped disc to Slippy. Slippy slides the disc into the device and fireworks with the number 100 replace the star projected.

Slippy says, ANOTHER 100 POINTS!
NICE.
MAGGIE, WHAT'S THE NEXT RIDDLE?

Maggie hovers beside Ella’s moon scooter and reads a riddle from a card.

Maggie says, A BIG TAIL AND
PINCERS ARE ONLY A PART.
THE STAR YOU SEEK
IS AT THE HEART.

Madhu says, OHHHH!
PINCERS.

Madhu snaps their fingers like pincers and tickles Ella with them.

[Ella giggling]

Ella says, THESE RIDDLES
KEEP GETTING HARDER AND HARDER.

Slippy says, MY GRAPPY SAID
THEY WOULDN'T BE EASY.
BUT THIS STAR RIDDLE GAME
HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN
IN MY FAMILY FOREVER.

Ella asks, MAGGIE, CAN YOU SHOW US
CONSTELLATIONS WITH PINCERS?

Maggie says, OF COURSE.
CONSTELLATIONS
ARE PICTURES DRAWN IN THE SKY
USING STARS
SUCH AS SCORPIUS AND CANCER.

Maggie displays the Scorpius constellation which looks like a scorpion and the Cancer constellation which looks like a crab.

Madhu says, OOH, HI PINCER FRIENDS.

Ella and Slippy look deep in thought.

Ella says, DIDN'T THE RIDDLE
MENTION A TAIL?

Slippy glances between the crab and the scorpion constellations.

He says, SO THE STAR WE NEED HAS GOT
TO BE AT THE HEART OF SCORPIUS
THE SCORPION.
BECAUSE CANCER IS A CRAB.
IT HAS PINCERS, BUT NO TAIL.

Ella says, GOOD THINKING, SLIPPY!
LET'S GO!

She flies away toward a large star where another device projecting a star icon floats.

Slippy says, WHOA, THIS STAR MUST BE WORTH
TONS OF POINTS.
IT'S HUGE!

Ella says, LET'S FIND OUT.
THERE'S THE POINTS POD!

She points toward the projection device, a points pod.

[Beeping]

Slippy flies over to the points pod and slides his square-shaped disc. A blue light on the pod turns red.

[Buzzing]

Slippy says, WHAT?

Ella says, WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?

Gem and Ilo appear in a Com Bubble beside Slippy.

[Ilo laughing]

Ilo says, YOU TOTALLY THOUGHT YOU GOT
TO THE STAR FIRST DIDN'T YOU?

Slippy says, ILO, YOU ALREADY
GOT THIS ONE?

Gem says, YEP.
IT'S OUR ONLY STAR.
BUT IT'S WORTH, LIKE,
A THOUSAND POINTS.
NOT LIKE ALL THOSE TINY
LITTLE STARS YOU'VE BEEN
COLLECTING.

Ilo says, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BEATING YOU.
SEE YA CUZ.

The Com Bubble pops.

Slippy says, MAGGIE, LEADERBOARD, PLEASE.

Maggie displays a leaderboard with blocks representing individual stars. One block shows Gem and Ilo in the lead ahead and Ella, Slippy and Madhu in second with multiple small blocks.

Slippy says, SO THEY ONLY FOUND ONE
BIG STAR AND THEY'RE WINNING?

Madhu says, SOMETIMES THE TWINS DO THINGS
THAT MAKE ME WANT TO HUG THEM
A LITTLE LESS.

Madhu hugs their knees.

Ella says, WE JUST FIND SOME REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY GIANT STARS.

Maggie says, CORRECTION.
YOU NEED TO FIND
SOME SUPERGIANT STARS.

She closes the leaderboard.

Madhu says, THAT'S A SUPER SWELL
WAY TO SAY IT.

Maggie says, SUPERGIANTS
ARE THE LARGEST TYPE OF STARS.
THE TWINS HAVE FOUND ONE,
BUT THERE ARE TWO MORE SUPER
GIANT STARS IN THE RIDDLE RACE.

Maggie shows a small star beside a giant star.

Slippy says, SO I DO STILL HAVE A CHANCE?
I REALLY WANT TO MAKE GRAPPY
PROUD AND WIN THIS THING!

Maggie says, BUT REMEMBER,
THE LARGER THE STAR,
THE MORE UNSTABLE IT BECOMES.

The giant star starts to shake.

Maggie explains, THE RED SUPERGIANT BEETLEJUICE,
FOR EXAMPLE, IS SO HUGE
THAT IT IS ON THE VERGE
OF GOING SUPERNOVA.

Ella says, INTERSTELLAR!
HIT US WITH THE
SUPER GIANT RIDDLE MAGGIE!

Maggie reads a riddle.

She says, NEAR A WITCH IN A CLOUD
CACKLING WITH GLEE,
YOU WILL FIND A SUPERGIANT
IN THE SHAPE OF A KNEE.

Slippy says, SHAPE OF A KNEE?
THERE'S TONS OF CONSTELLATIONS
WITH KNEES.
COULD IT BE
AQUARIUS?

Ella asks, WHAT ABOUT GEMINI?

Glitch pops up out of Slippy’s dashboard.

[Glitch beeping]

Slippy says, YOU'RE RIGHT, GLITCH.
IT COULD BE PEGASUS, TOO!

Madhu sings, AQUARIUS.
GEMINI!
PEGASUS.

Madhu does a flip.

Madhu says, THESE SILLY WORDS ARE FUN!

[Ella giggling]

Slippy says, MAGGIE, CAN'T YOU JUST TELL US
WHICH ONE IT IS?

Maggie says, THAT WOULD BE CHEATING.

[Ella giggling]

Ella says, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
SEARCH EM ALL!
LET'S GO!

[Upbeat music plays]

Ella zooms through space with Slippy and Madhu to another constellation among purple and pink clouds.

Maggie says, THIS IS AQUARIUS,
THE WATER CARRIER.

She displays the Aquarius constellation which shows a person with water pouring from a jug. A star in the constellation is in the person’s knee.

Sleepy says, THERE'S THE KNEE!

Maggie closes the display and the group speeds ahead. They stop and look at an average-sized star.

Madhu says, THIS SEEMS LIKE
A REGULAR STAR,
NOT A SUPERGIANT STAR.

Maggie says, CORRECT.

Ella says, OKAY, THEN LET'S TRY PEGASUS.

She travels to a constellation made of different coloured stars with Slippy and Madhu.

At the constellation, Maggie says, THIS IS PEGASUS,
THE WINGED HORSE.

She displays the Pegasus constellation which shows a horse with wings.

Madhu says, NO ONE TOLD ME HORSES HAD WINGS!

[Ella laughing]

Madhu says, HELLO WINGED HORSE FRIEND!

Madhu waves to the constellation in Maggie’s display.

[Ella laughing]

Slippy nervously scratches the back of his head.

He says, THERE ARE TWO KNEES
IN THIS CONSTELLATION.
WHICH ONE IS IT?

Ella says, WE'LL CHECK BOTH.
COME ON!

She flies to a glowing blue star with Slippy and Madhu. Ella, Slippy and Madhu share a look and shrug. They continue to a bright, yellow star beside swirls of purple and pink clouds.

Ella shakes her head and says, NUH-UH.

Slippy says, NEXT.

Madhu says, ONTO GEMIN-EMIN-EMINI!

Ella says, I THINK THERE'S A FEW LESS M'S
IN THERE MADHU.
BUT LET'S GO!

Ella, Slippy and Madhu zoom through space to another collection of stars.

Maggie says, HERE IS GEMINI,
THE CONSTELLATION THAT FORMS
THE IMAGE OF TWINS.

She displays the Gemini constellation which shows a set of twins.

Slippy says, THE TWINS!
WE NEED TO HURRY, THE REAL TWINS
ARE STILL BEATING US!

Madhu says, OH, I SEE.
ONE, TWO, THREE KNEE STARS.

Slippy says, WE CAN CHECK THEM FASTER
IF WE SPLIT UP.

He starts to leave.

Slippy says, COME ON.

Ella says, WE'RE A TEAM SLIP.

She and Madhu follow Slippy.

Ella says, LET'S HUNT FOR THIS POD
TOGETHER.

Also known as Slip, Slippy says, OKAY, BUT WE GOT TO BE QUICK.
EVERYONE,
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR A POD!

Ella, Slippy and Madhu fly to a bright star with rippling waves of light and look around.

[Explosion]

Gas bursts out of the star and blows Ella away.

Ella yells, WHOA!

Madhu stretches their arm and grabs Ella’s moon scooter.

Madhu says, GOTCHA!

Madhu pulls Ella back to Slippy’s side.

Ella says, PHEW.
THANKS, MADHU.
LET'S KEEP LOOKING!

A dotted line on Maggie’s display of the Gemini constellation shows Ella, Slippy and Madhu travelling from one star to another. Ella, Slippy and Madhu stop at a glowing pink and yellow star and look around. They head toward the next star and Madhu bumps into Slippy.

[Madhu grunting]

Madhu says, OOPS!

[Madhu giggling]

Slippy smiles.

Madhu says, MY EYES ARE PEELED,
BUT THERE ARE NO PODS
ON ANY OF THESE KNEES.

Ella, Slippy and Madhu hover near a star glowing with a bright, white light.

Slippy groans, OH, WE'VE GOT TO BE MISSING
SOMETHING.

Ella says, MAGGIE,
CAN WE HEAR THE RIDDLE AGAIN?

Maggie says, NEAR A WITCH
IN A CLOUD, CACKLING WITH GLEE,
YOU'LL FIND A SUPERGIANT
IN THE SHAPE OF A KNEE.

Slippy says, WAIT!
THERE'S A NEBULA
WITH WHICH IN THE NAME
AND NEBULA'S ARE
CLOUDS OF DUST.
FOLLOW ME!

He leads Ella and Madhu away to another constellation. Maggie shows the constellation, which shows a person with a sword and shield.

Maggie says, THIS CONSTELLATION IS ORION,
THE HUNTER.

Slippy says, ORION!
HE HAS TWO KNEES AND HE'S
NEAR THE WITCH'S HEAD NEBULA!

Ella says, THIS HAS TO BE IT, BUT
WHICH KNEES ARE SUPER GIANT.

Madhu says, OH!
I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT ONE.

Ella says, OR IT COULD BE THE LEFT ONE.

Slippy says, WE SHOULD SPLIT UP.

Ella and Madhu frown.

Madhu says, BUT WHAT ABOUT TEAMWORK?

From close by, Gem says, FUNNY MEETING YOU HERE.

Maggie closes the Orion constellation projection.

Slippy says, DON'T TELL ME YOU GOT THIS
ONE, TOO!

Ilo says, NOT YET.
BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO!

Slippy says, NOT ON MY WATCH.

He turns to Ella and Madhu.

Slippy asks, LEFT OR RIGHT?

Ella and Madhu say, RIGHT?

They race toward a star in the constellation with Slippy. Gem and Ilo follow. Ella, Slippy and Madhu stop and stare ahead of them. Ella and Madhu look shocked.

Madhu says, WHOA!
IT'S GIANT!

Ella says, YEAH.
SUPERGIANT!
THIS MUST BE IT.

Ilo appears in a Com Bubble beside Slippy.

Ilo says, GUESS WHO FOUND IT.

At a points pod, Gem points to a projection showing 100 points. Their score on the scoreboard grows.

Ilo says, TIME'S ALMOST UP.
GOOD LUCK
BEATING US NOW!

The Com Bubble pops. Slippy looks disappointed.

Madhu says, SORRY, SLIPPY.
WE THOUGHT...

Slippy says, IT'S OKAY.
LET'S GO BACK TO THE CLUBHOUSE.

Ella says, YOU DON'T WANT
TO FINISH THE RACE.

Slippy says, WHAT FOR?
THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN WIN.

He pulls out the points pod disc.

Madhu says, BUT WE'RE HAVING FUN TOGETHER.

Slippy says, NO, WE'RE LOSING TOGETHER.

He lets go of the points pod disc and leaves. Ella grabs the disc and Madhu hurries after Slippy. Ella looks at the disc sadly and flies away in the opposite direction.

Ella says, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE SPLIT UP?
BUT IF WE CAN FIND
ANOTHER SUPER GIANT,
HOPEFULLY IT'LL GET US
ENOUGH POINTS TO WIN.
MAGGIE, WHAT'S THE LAST CLUE?

Maggie says, THE SHOULDER OF THE GIANT
IS CERTAINLY A CLUE,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU WISH TO HUNT
AN AWESOME VIEW.

Elle says, HMM.

She taps her chin.

Ella says, GAINT.
HUNT
AN AWESOME VIEW.
I GOT IT!
ORION THE HUNTER!
MAGGIE.
IT'S ORION SHOULDER, ISN'T IT?

Maggie says, ANY ANSWER FROM ME
WOULD BE CONSIDERED CHEATING.
ELLA.

Ella says, SOUNDS LIKE A YES TO ME!
LET'S GO!

She speeds ahead. Elsewhere in space, Madhu rests their hand on Slippy’s back. Slippy looks sad. Ella appears in a Com Bubble in front of Slippy and Madhu.

Ella says, HEY, GUESS WHAT?
I FIGURED OUT THE LAST RIDDLE!
ANOTHER SUPER-GIANT STAR!
IT'S ORION’S
SHOULDER.
AND GET THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE BIGGEST STAR
WE'VE SEEN ALL DAY!

Ella shows part of a large star.

Madhu says, OH, IT'S SUPER,
SUPER GIANT FRIEND!

[Ella giggling]

Ella says, I THINK THIS STAR'S NAME
IS BEETLEJUICE.

Madhu says, HI SUPER GIANT
BEETLEJUICE, FRIEND!

Madhu waves.

Slippy says, ELLA, YOU HAVE TO GET
AWAY FROM THERE!

The Com Bubble flickers.

Slippy warns, MAGGIE SAID BEETLEJUICE
IS GOING TO SUPERNOVA SOON!

[Static]

Ella says, WHAT?
I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
THE STAR'S MESSING WITH MY –

The Com Bubble pops.

Slippy says, ELLA? ELLA?!

Madhu says, OH NO.
ELLA'S GOING STRAIGHT
TOWARDS A STAR
THAT'S GOING TO EXPLODE!

Slippy says, WE HAVE TO WARN HER!

He turns around with Madhu.

[Dramatic music plays]

Slippy and Madhu race toward a giant, bright, orange and yellow star with clouds rippling around it.

Near the star, Madhu calls out, ELLA!
ELLA!
WHERE ARE YOU?

Slippy yells, ELLA!
YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
FORGET THE POD!

Madhu says, I DON'T THINK SHE CAN HEAR US.

In the clouds, Slippy and Madhu bounce through turbulence.

[Space racer clanging]

Madhu says, IF MAGGIE WERE HERE,
SHE'D SAY SOMETHING
LIKE, “YOU MUST EVACUATE SOON
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
BECAUSE SCIENCE.
SCIENCE.
SCIENCE-Y SCIENCE.”

Slippy says, NOT WITHOUT ELLA!
SHE CAME HERE FOR ME.
IF JUST STUCK TOGETHER –

Slippy zooms past Ella.

Slippy shouts, ELLA!

He and Ella turn around to face each other.

Ella says, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?
THIS STAR’S ABOUT TO SUPERNOVA!

Madhu says, THAT'S WHAT WE CAME TO TELL YOU!

A gust pushes Ella, Slippy and Madhu upward. The lights on Slippy’s space racer flicker and the racer falls toward the star.

[Engine rattling]

[Dramatic music plays]

[Slippy yelping]

Slippy yells, A LITTLE HELP HERE.

Ella says, I GOT YOU SLIPPY!

She launches her space grappler toward Slippy and is pulled toward the star. Madhu races after Ella and Slippy. Deeper in the cloud, Slippy grabs onto Ella’s moon scooter.

[Clanging]

Ella and Slippy jerk forward.

Behind them, Madhu says, AND I'VE GOT BOTH OF YOU!

Madhu pulls Ella and Slippy away from the star. Far away, Ella, Slippy and Madhu share a hug.

Slippy says, I'M GLAD YOU'RE OKAY.
BUT YOU WERE RIGHT.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SPLIT UP.
I WAS SO WORRIED.

Ella says, I'D RATHER HAVE FUN AS A TEAM,
BUT SOMETIMES SPLITTING UP –

From close by, Ilo says, SAY HELLO TO THE REAL RACE
CHAMPS!

Gem blows a noisemaker.

[Kazoo blaring]

F11 waves its robotic arms.

[F11 beeping]

Gem says, US!

Ella says, NOT SO FAST.
MAGGIE,
SHOW THEM THE LEADERBOARD.

Maggie displays the leaderboard. Ella, Slippy and Madhu’s score increases.

Ella says, OUR LAST HOUR WAS WORTH
2,000 POINTS!

Slippy says, YOU GOT IT?!

Ella holds up her and Slippy’s points pod disc.

Gem says, WHAT?
WHAT'S STAR DID YOU GET?

[Explosion]

Clouds of light around the Beetlejuice star billow and the star shines brighter.

Ella says, THAT ONE!

Gem and Ilo say, ASTRONOMICAL!

Madhu says, THEY USED YOUR WORD!

[Laughing]
