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.”


In the Ryders’ home station, Ella looks at photographs of her parents, Celeste and Tom, together in space.

[Rustling, gentle music plays]

Ella says, MOM.
THESE PHOTOS ARE AMAZING.

Ella knocks a beaker with green liquid at the bottom. She quickly rights it.

[Tap, gasp]

Celeste stands at a table with beakers and connecting tubes on it.

Celeste says, ELLA, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
MY SCIENCE
EXPERIMENT IS VERY FRAGILE.

Ella says, OF COURSE, MOM.
I'M HERE TO HELP.
WHAT'S NEXT?

Celeste says, WE NEED TO ADD A TEASPOON
OF THIS TO YOUR BEAKER.
CAREFULLY.

Ella fills a spoon with red liquid. She adds it to the beaker of green liquid.

[Clinking]

Celeste says, WAIT.
ELLA THAT'S A...

[Dramatic music plays]

Green liquid sprays out of the beaker and falls on the beakers and tube. It falls on a small purple chest where the photographs were stored.

[Splashing]

Celeste says, TABLESPOON.
THIS IS A TEASPOON.

Ella says, RIGHT.
THE LITTLE ONE.
SORRY, MOM.

Ella runs to the purple chest.

[Footsteps tap]

Ella says, OH, NO.
THE PICTURES.

Tom runs into the room with Tilly riding on his left shoulder.

[Tilly laughs, Tom roars, they both laugh]

Tilly says, WHOA, WHOA.
WHAT HAPPENED?

Tom puts Tilly down on the floor. He walks to where Ella stares at a photograph with green liquid on the corner.

Ella says, I RUINED MOM
AND DAD'S PICTURES.

BUT YOU CAN REPRINT THEM, RIGHT?

Celeste says, ACTUALLY, NO.
WE TOOK THEM ON
A VERY OLD CAMERA.

[Solemn music plays]

Ella suggests, MAYBE MAGGIE
HAS THEM IN HER DATABANKS?

Maggie floats out of Ella’s bracelet.

[Whirring]

Maggie says, I DO NOT.

Tom puts his arm around Ella’s back.

Tom says, IT'S OK ELLA.

Ella watches Celeste pick up a photograph and gaze sadly at it.

Ella says, HEY, WHAT
IF WE TAKE NEW PICTURES?

WE CAN ALL DO THE THINGS
YOU AND DAD DID TOGETHER.

AND THE NEW PICTURES
WILL BE EVEN BETTER
BECAUSE WE'LL ALL BE IN THEM.

Celeste says, THAT'S A LOVELY IDEA.

Tilly cheers, YAY! SPACE ADVENTURE.

Ella shouts, LET'S GO.

Maggie says, MY CALCULATIONS INDICATE
THAT ALL THIS GOO WILL BE A DRY,
HARD TO CLEAN UP MESS
BY THE TIME YOU GET BACK.

Ella says, OKAY, LET'S CLEAN UP, THEN.
LET'S GO.

In space, Ella rides her moon scooter. Tilly rides in a sidecar on Celeste’s vehicle. Tom drives his towing spaceship.

Ella asks, THE FIRST PHOTO WAS SOMETHING
WITH THE NEBULA, RIGHT?

Celeste says, WE MADE A HEART IN FRONT
OF THE HEART AND SOUL NEBULA.

[Engines whirr]

Tom says, WAIT,
IS THAT THE HEART-SHAPED NEBULA?
IT LOOKS MORE LIKE...

Tilly says, A BUG!

Nine pink tendrils extend from the nebula.

Ella asks, MAGGIE, WHAT HAPPENED?

Maggie appears beside Ella.

Maggie explains, YOUNG STARS CREATE
WIND THAT CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE
OF THE NEBULA OVER TIME.

LIKE HOW WIND MOVES SAND
AND SNOW ON EARTH.

Maggie projects a screen and shows the wind blowing over the heart-shaped nebula, changing it into a bug shape.

[Chiming, whooshing]

Ella says, OKAY.
BUT WE CAN CREATE AN AWESOME
MEMORY ANYWAY. RIGHT?

Celeste says, WE SURE CAN.

Tilly launches a camera.

[Whooshing]

Ella says, OKAY.
TILLY, MOM,
DO ONE SIDE OF THE HEART.
THEN I WILL DO THE OTHER.

Ella moves her moon scooter in front of Celeste’s vehicle.

Ella asks, READY? GO.

[Upbeat music plays, whooshing]

Celeste and Ella pilot their vehicles and leave trails of smoke behind them.

Tilly cheers, WEEEE!

Ella says, WE'RE DOING IT!

Tom flies up to the camera and watches. Ella and Celeste swerve to avoid colliding.

Celeste and Ella shout, WHOA!

[Camera shutter snaps]

Tom poses in front of the camera and makes a peace sign with his fingers. He removes a device from the camera. Ella and Celeste fly to him.

[Engines whirr]

Ella asks, DID WE GET THE PICTURE?

Tom says, LET'S SEE.

Tom pushes a button on the device. Over the nebula, an image of a heart shape with squiggles appears.

[Click, zapping]

Tilly says, WE GAVE THE BUG A FACE.

[Everyone laughs]

Ella says, OKAY.
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHOTO.

[Upbeat music plays, engines whirr]

Ella leads the others to Saturn.

Maggie says, WELCOME TO SATURN'S
ICY MOON ENCELADUS.

The Ryders land their vehicles and walk on the moon's icy surface. Tilly runs ahead.

[Footsteps crunch]

Ella asks, DIDN'T YOU GUYS DO A
SOMERSAULT OVER A GEYSER HERE?

[Footsteps crunch]

Celeste says, THE GEYSERS ARE FROZEN OVER.
HMM. A LOT HAS CHANGED IN SPACE.

Ella asks, MAGGIE, IS THERE STILL
WATER UNDER THE ICE?

Maggie shines a blue light on the surface.

[Chiming]

Maggie says, THERE IS.
THE GEYSERS ON ENCELADUS
COME FROM A WARM
OCEAN BELOW THE SURFACE.

Ella says, SO WE COULD DIG IT UP.

Tom says, I'LL GET MY TOOLS.

Tom uses a jackhammer on the ice.

[Motor rattles]

[Tilly yawns]

Celeste says, MAYBE THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK.

Tom says, ACTUALLY, I THINK I'M CLOSE. OH.

Tom cuts a hole in the ice, and water sprays up.

[Motor rattles, water splashes, exclamations]

Tilly says, COOL.

She launches the camera.

[Whirring, upbeat music plays]

Tilly says, THREE, TWO, ONE. JUMP!

Tilly, Ella, and Celeste jump over the geyser. As Tom jumps, the water rises and lifts him into the air.

[Water splashes, camera shutter snaps]

Tom shouts, OH! OH!

[Ella gasps]

Ella says, HOLD ON, DAD.

Ella deploys the grappling hook on her space grabber, and Tom catches it. Ella pulls him out of the water, and then he lands on the ice.

[Beeping, splashing, rustling]

Tom says, THANKS, ELLA.

Ella says, SO THAT ONE DIDN'T WORK EITHER.
IS THERE ANOTHER EVEN BETTER
PICTURE?

Tilly catches the camera.

[Whirring, thump]

Celeste says, WELL, THERE IS THE ONE
WHERE WE GLIDED DOWN A VOLCANO.

Ella says, INTERSTELLAR. LET'S DO THAT.

Tom says, I HOPE THAT VOLCANO
IS STILL DORMANT.

Lava bubbles at the top of a volcano. The Ryders hover above it in their space vehicles.

[Bubbling]

Maggie says, UNFORTUNATELY,
THE VOLCANO IS VERY MUCH ACTIVE.

Ella says, SO GLIDING DOWN...

Celeste says, …IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

Tom says, BUT IF WE HURRY,
WE CAN STILL TAKE A PICTURE.

The Ryders pose on the ground in front of the volcano. The camera floats in front of them.

[Whooshing, beeping]

The volcano erupts.

[Booming]

Tom says, I WAS WRONG.
WE SHOULD GO.

The Ryders run away from the volcano.

[Shouting, camera shutter snaps]

In space, the Ryders sit on the towing spaceship. Ella sits in the front, Tom sits in the driver’s seat, and Celeste and Tilly sit in the back in front of the tow gear.

[Gentle music plays]

Ella says, RECREATING THE PHOTOS WAY
HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

Ella lies back on the spaceship.

[Clunk]

Celeste says, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS.

THERE WAS THE ONE
WHERE WE TAUGHT YOU
TO RIDE YOUR SCOOTERS.

Maggie projects a photograph of Ella and Tilly flying scooters. Tom and Celeste fly behind them.

[Beeping]

Tom says, OR THE ONE WHERE WE ALL GOT
BRAIN FREEZE.

Maggie projects a photograph of Celeste and Ella holding their heads. Ella, Tilly, and Tom hold ice cream.

[Tom laughs]

Tom says, THAT ONE'S PERFECT.

Ella grumbles, DAD.
THE WHOLE POINT IS TO RECREATE
EXCITING MEMORIES.

Tom says, OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT THAT TIME WE DID THAT
DARING LANDING ON OUMUAMUA?

Tilly asks, WHAT'S A OUMUAMUA?

Maggie projects an image of a flat rocky surface.

[Beeping]

Tilly says, WHOA, IT
LOOKS LIKE A GIANT COOKIE.

Maggie explains,
THE OUMUAMUA IS
NOT REALLY A COOKIE.

IT WAS THE FIRST OBJECT
FROM DEEP SPACE
SPOTTED IN THE EARTH'S
SOLAR SYSTEM.

Ella says, INTERSTELLAR.

Ella leaps to her feet.

[Clank]

Maggie says, LITERALLY.

ASTRONOMERS AT THE TIME
COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT
IT WAS OR WHERE IT CAME FROM.

Ella says, GREAT.
LET'S GO TO THE OUMUAMUA.

Tom says, HMM. I REMEMBER IT
WAS PRETTY CHALLENGING TO LAND ON.
IT MOVES VERY FAST.

Maggie projects an image of Oumuamua flying past a rocket.

Maggie says, 93,000 KILOMETERS PER HOUR.
THAT IS 30 TIMES
FASTER THAN A ROCKET.

[Engine blasts]

Ella says, WHOA. BUT CAN WE STILL DO IT?

Celeste says, THERE'S A REASON
OUR NAME IS RYDER.
LET'S RIDE.

The Ryders pilot their spaceships towards Oumuamua.

[Rock music plays]

Maggie says, STOP.
ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS,
THE OUMUAMUA
SHOULD ARRIVE HERE ANY MINUTE.

Maggie shows the Oumuamua arriving in front of the three spaceships.

[Engines whirr]

Ella says, HEY, MAGGIE.
YOU SAID ASTRONOMERS COULDN'T
FIGURE OUT WHAT THE OUMUAMUA IS.
DID THEY EVER FIGURE IT OUT?

Maggie says, YES.
IT IS A PIECE OF PLANET
THAT BROKE OFF
AND HAS WANDERED THROUGH SPACE
EVER SINCE.

Tilly says, WHOA.
SO THE OUMUAMUA HAS BEEN...

Tom shouts, GIRLS! WATCH OUT!

The Oumuamua floats towards the spaceships and passes them.

Ella says, COME ON.
WE'VE GOT TO LAND ON IT
FOR THE PHOTO.

Tilly says, YEAH. LET'S RIDE.

Tilly launches the camera.

[Whirring]

Celeste says, OKAY, BUT EVERYONE,
BE CAREFUL PLEASE.

[Exciting music plays]

The Ryders fly behind the Oumuamua. Ella carefully brings her moon scooter down to the surface and bounces on it.

[Thumping]

Ella shouts, WHOA!

Ella bounces towards the rocks.

Tom shouts, ELLA!

Tom shoots a space-grabber, and the grappling hook attaches to the moon scooter. Ella flies over the rocks and pulls Tom over his control panel. The towing spaceship quickly flies forward.

[Clunk, beeping]

Tom shouts, WHOA.

Tom’s spaceship lands on Oumuamua.

[Clunking]

Tilly shouts, DAD!

The spaceship slides to a stop over a crevice.

[Ella gasps]

Ella shouts, DAD?

Tom says, PHEW.

He climbs down out of the spaceship.

[Beeping, clattering]

Ella asks, DAD, ARE YOU OKAY?

Tom says, THAT WAS WILD.

Tilly catches the camera.

[Whirring]

Celeste says, LOOKS LIKE
THE TRUCK IS JAMMED.

[Ella sighs, gentle music plays]

Ella says, BUT THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE
TO TAKE A GOOD PICTURE.

Celeste asks, ELLA, ARE YOU STILL
WORRIED ABOUT THE PHOTOS?

Ella says, YEAH.
WE DON'T HAVE THE OLD ONES
ANYMORE. AND THE NEW ONES
AREN'T GOOD.

Tom says, THE PICTURES MIGHT BE GONE,
BUT THE MEMORIES
WILL ALWAYS BE UP HERE.

Celeste says, AND CREATING NEW
MEMORIES WITH YOU GIRLS IS WAY
BETTER THAN REDOING OLD ONES.

Ella says, I GUESS WE DID CREATE
NEW MEMORIES TODAY.

Tilly says, TOGETHER.

The Ryders hug.

[Laughter, rustling]

Tom asks, HOW ABOUT CREATING ONE MORE?
WHO WANTS TO LEARN
HOW TO TOW A TOW TRUCK?

Tilly shouts I DO!

Ella says, ME!

[Laughter]

Cables attach the towing spaceship to Ella and Celeste’s vehicles. Tom sits in his vehicle and pushes buttons on the control panel.

[Beeping]

Tom says, WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL TO TAKE OFF.
OKAY?

Celeste, Tilly, and Ella say, GOT IT!

Tom counts, THREE, TWO, ONE.
LET'S RIDE.

[Tense music plays, rustling, clanking]

Celeste and Ella slowly pull the towing spaceship forward.

[Clunking, rustling, gentle music plays]

Tilly cheers, WE'RE DOING IT. YAY!

[Cheering, laughter]

Tom shouts, YOU GOT THIS, RYDERS.
NOW SPEED UP AND GO TO THE RIGHT.

They pull the spaceship out of the crevice on Oumuamua. Tilly catches her camera.

[Clunking, cheering, upbeat music plays]

In their home station, the Ryders sit on the couch and look at the photographs.

[Beeping]

Ella asks, WHERE'S THE PHOTO
FROM THE OUMUAMUA LANDING?

A photograph shows a close-up image of Tilly’s face in front of the crashed spaceship.

Tilly says, THE CAMERA IS ON SELFIE MODE.

[Ella laughs]

Ella says, IT'S PERFECT.

[Upbeat music plays]

Tom says, TILLY,
YOUR FACE IS AMAZING.

[Laughing]

[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.
