[Giggling]
t.v.o. kids plus Apartment 11 Productions plus Fabrique Fantastique Original.
[Soft music plays]
At home, 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 with Maggie, Ella’s A.I. star. Elsewhere in space, Slippy and Madhu look startled.
They say, WHOA!
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]
Outside Ella and Slippy’s asteroid clubhouse, Ella hits an orange, purple, blue, yellow and green ball with a mallet-like bat. Glitch and Slippy swing their bats and miss the ball. The ball lands in Glitch and Slippy’s soccer-like net.
Ella cheers, GOAL!
She high-fives Madhu.
Ella says, COME ON, MADHU! WE CAN WIN THIS GAME!
Maggie projects a timer.
Ella says, LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LEFT!
[Exciting music continues]
Glitch serves the baseball-sized ball. Slippy knocks it past Ella.
Slippy cheers, YOU GOT THIS GLITCH!
He hits the ball to Glitch, who knocks it toward Ella and Madhu’s net. Madhu stretches their arm across the net and catches the ball.
[Glitch beeping sadly]
Slippy says, THAT'S OKAY. TRY AGAIN, PAL.
Maggie’s countdown timer continues.
Slippy says, ONE MINUTE!
Ella serves the ball. The ball hits Glitch. Glitch drops their bat and floats away.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch’s storage compartment opens and pieces of junk metal spill out.
Slippy says, I'M COMING, GLITCH!
He drops his bat and flies up to Glitch.
Slippy asks, YOU ALL RIGHT? HOW MANY FINGERS?
He holds up three fingers.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch adjusts their robot eyes. Maggie’s timer reaches zero.
Maggie announces, TIME IS UP. GAME OVER. ELLA AND MADHU WIN!
Madhu cheers, YES!
Slippy turns toward Ella and Madhu. Ella and Madhu gaze at the junk metal floating around them.
Madhu says, WOO! WHAT'S ALL THIS?
Ella says, THAT IS A LOT OF JUNK.
Slippy says, IT'S NOT THAT MUCH AND GLITCH’S COMPARTMENT IS UNLIMITED. SO...
Ella and Madhu frown.
Slippy says, FINE. WE'LL GET RID OF IT.
Ella says, GREAT! NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT, RIGHT?
She quickly gathers the junk into a ball.
[Clattering]
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch taps Slippy and points to a bat.
Slippy says, DON'T WORRY, PAL. WE'LL PLAY AGAIN SOON.
Madhu says, OHHH! THIS WILL BE SO MUCH FUN. LET'S GO RECYCLE!
Madhu starts to fly away.
Madhu pauses and asks, WHERE DO WE GO RECYCLE?
Slippy says, THE BEST PLACE IN SPACE. THE DEPOT ON VESTA! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO THERE.
[Ella loudly clearing her throat]
Ella says, WE'RE JUST GOING TO DROP THINGS OFF, RIGHT?
Slippy says, YEAH, SURE. JUST DROPPING THINGS OFF.
[Slippy laughing nervously]
[Upbeat music plays]
Elsewhere in space, Ella, Slippy and Madhu fly to a small planet that looks like a giant crater. Purple asteroids float around the planet.
Ella says, WOAH! PLANET VESTA LOOKS LIKE ONE GIANT CRATER!
From Ella’s watch, Maggie appears and says, VESTA’S CRATER IS 19 KILOMETERS DEEP. THAT IS THE LENGTH OF OVER 200 FOOTBALL FIELDS. THE CRATER COVERS ALMOST ALL OF ITS SURFACE BECAUSE VESTA IS SO TINY.
Ella says, YOU CALL THAT TINY?
Maggie says, YES. VESTA IS ACTUALLY TOO SMALL TO BE A PLANET. IT IS CALLED A PLANETOID.
Ella, Slippy and Madhu sly over Vests and look at piles of junk metal.
Maggie says, AND WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THE CRATER IF NOT FOR THE...
Slippy says, ALL THAT COOL JUNK! HOW COME NONE OF IT'S BEEN RECYCLED?
Ella says, SLIPPY. DROPPING OFF, REMEMBER?
Slippy says, RIGHT. YEAH. I REMEMBER.
He, Ella and Madhu land on the planet. Slippy climbs off his space racer and grabs Glitch.
[Glitch whirring]
Slippy opens Glitch’s storage compartment, and junk spills into the crater. Ella and Madhu fly over the crater.
Madhu calls out, HELLO. ANYONE HOME?
Slippy and Glitch join Ella and Madhu in the crater. Slippy picks up and throws a bent screw across the crater. The screw bounces off a metal door, and the door slides down a pile of junk, revealing a large object with two recycling logos on it.
[Metal clanging]
Slippy says, LOOK. WHAT'S THAT?
He stares at the pile of junk.
Slippy says, THERE'S A RECYCLING LOGO ON IT!
He walks over to the pile of junk and pulls on the object with recycling logos.
[Clanging]
The object slides down the junk pile, and Slippy falls.
Slippy stands and says, WHOA! IT'S THE HEAD OF A ROBOT!
[Glitch beeping]
Slippy says, YOU'RE RIGHT, GLITCH IF WE CAN FIND ALL THE PIECES, WE CAN PUT THE ROBOT BACK TOGETHER. THIS ROBOT WILL BE ASTRONOMICAL!
Madhu says, AND MAYBE HE CAN CLEAN UP ALL THIS JUNK.
Ella says, LET S GO!
Slippy puts on goggles and scans other piles of junk.
Slippy says, HMMM... THERE'S NOTHING HERE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO DEEPER.
He leads Glitch, Ella and Madhu across the crater.
Madhu says, WHOA! THIS CRATER FRIEND GOES ON AND ON AND ON. AND ON!
Ella asks, HOW DID THIS CRATER GET SO BIG?
Maggie appears and says, A LONG TIME AGO, VESTA COLLIDED WITH A GIANT ASTEROID, AND PIECES OF VESTA WERE THROWN INTO SPACE. SOME OF THEM EVEN LANDED ON EARTH.
Slippy says, I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING! LOOK!
He points to a robotic arm.
Madhu says, OH! ANOTHER PIECE OF THE ROBOT!
Madhu grabs the robotic arm.
Slippy says, IT'S AN ARM!
Glitch rolls up to the large arm.
[Glitch beeping]
Ella says, THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE PIECES FURTHER DOWN!
[Upbeat music plays]
Ella, Slippy, Glitch and Madhu race across the crater. Slippy flies with his space boots and scans a pile of junk.
Slippy says, I FOUND AN ARM!
Madhu digs through the pile of junk and pulls out a second robot arm.
Slippy says, OKAY, SO NOW WE JUST NEED THE LEGS.
In the middle of the crater, Slippy drags one of the arms over to the body and head of the robot.
[Slippy grunting]
Madhu shouts, IS THIS A LEG?
Madhu holds up two hockey sticks. Ella covers her smile with her hand. Slippy smiles and shakes his finger. Ella pulls a robot leg out of a junk pile and flies it over to the other robot parts.
[Metal clanging]
Glitch looks around the crater.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch finds another leg and picks it up.
Slippy says, EVERYONE, MEET VICTOR!
He stands in front of the now put-together robot. Text on the robot reads, V1-C.T.-O.R.
Madhu loudly says, HELLO, VICTOR! MY NAME IS MADHU. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL HOME HERE! VERY BIG CRATER!
Victor, the robot, remains unmoving.
Ella asks, HOW COME VICTOR’S NOT DOING ANYTHING?
Slippy says, HMM.
Glitch knocks on Victor.
[Banging]
[Glitch beeping]
Slippy says, MAYBE HE NEEDS POWER!
Slippy flies up a pile of junk and looks around. He grabs a glowing battery pack and opens a compartment in Victor’s foot. Slippy plugs the battery into Vicktor’s foot and the compartment closes. Slippy flies around Vicktor and presses a power button on Victor’s back.
[Whirring]
Victor powers on. The recycling logos light up like eyes.
[Victor powering up]
Victor stands and starts walking.
[Clanging]
Ella, Slippy and Madhu watch Victor walk across the crater.
Madhu says, HE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.
Ella says, VESTA'S THE DEPOT WHERE ALL THE MATERIALS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RECYCLED.
Victor scans an item, and the recycling logo appears. Victor picks up the item and slides it into a compartment in its chest.
[Rattling]
[Whirring]
A door in the back of Victor opens and two cubes of organized junk drop out.
Madhu says, OH, THEN VICTOR IS THE RECYCLER.
Slippy says, OF COURSE! THAT'S WHY THERE'S SO MUCH JUNK HERE IN VESTA. VICTOR WAS DAMAGED, SO WE COULDN'T DO HIS JOB.
Victor slides a jug into its compartment.
Slippy says, THIS ROBOT IS SO COOL.
[Rattling]
Victor processes more junk into cubes.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch rolls up to Victor.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch waves.
Madhu says, GLITCH REALLY SEEMS TO LIKE HIM.
Ella says, WELL, WE FIX VICTOR AND DUMP THE JUNK SO WE CAN PROBABLY GO.
Slippy walks toward Victor. Victor picks up another piece of junk.
Slippy asks, WHAT IF WE BROUGHT VICTOR WITH US?
Ella and Madhu share a look.
Madhu says, I DON'T KNOW, SLIPPY. HE SEEMS SO HAPPY TO BE DOING HIS JOB AGAIN.
Maggie appears and says, ACTUALLY, MY SCANS INDICATE VICTOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY EMOTION CIRCUITS.
Ella says, WELL, HE LOOKS HAPPY TO ME!
Victor processes more junk.
Slippy says, BUT, HE'S ALL ALONE OUT HERE, HE… HE COULD BE A NEW FRIEND.
Glitch rolls up beside Slippy.
Slippy says, FOR GLITCH!
Madhu says, OH-HO-HO-HO! I LOVE SEEING NEW FRIENDS!
[Ella sighing]
Ella smiles and shakes her head.
At the clubhouse, Slippy says, SEE? HE'S SO HAPPY HERE.
Victor holds up a metal object. Glitch looks up at Victor.
[Glitch beeping]
Slippy says, GLITCH TOO!
Victor drops the metal object in its compartment and processes it into a cube.
[Whirring]
[Clanging]
Ella frowns.
Madhu says, WOW! VICTOR IS AMAZING! BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE RUNS OUT OF THINGS TO TAKE APART?
Slippy says, THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM.
[Clanging]
Ella says, UMMM...SLIPPY?
Slippy turns toward Victor.
Slippy says, WOAH!
Victor holds up Skippy’s space racer.
Slippy says, VICTOR, NOT THAT!
Slippy drags an old solar panel over to Victor.
[Slippy grunting]
Slippy says, HERE, TRY THIS.
Victor puts the space racer down and takes the solar panel from Slippy. Slippy turns to Ella and Madhu and smiles.
Ella asks, AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE TO GO HOME?
Slippy says, I'LL TAKE HIM HOME WITH ME. I HAVE TONS OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE RECYCLED.
Madhu watches Victor walk by.
Slippy says, ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM.
Madhu says, UMM. HELP! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
Ella and Slippy look at Victor. Victor scans the clubhouse couch, and the recycling logo appears. Victor picks up the couch.
Slippy firmly says, VICTOR, NO! STOP!
Maggie appears and says, VICTOR IS JUST DOING WHAT HE WAS PROGRAMED TO DO. TAKE THINGS APART AND RECYCLE THEM.
Madhu takes the couch away from Victor. Slippy glances at Glitch.
Slippy says, GLITCH. MAYBE YOU CAN CALM HIM DOWN! YOU KNOW, ROBOT TO ROBOT.
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch rolls up to Victor.
[Glitch beeping]
Victor scans Glitch and the recycling logo appears.
Victor looks down toward Glitch. Glitch wiggles their arms.
[Glitch beeping]
Victor reaches for Glitch. Glitch dodges Victor’s grasp.
[Glitch beeping in panic]
Glitch scurries away from Victor. Victor follows.
[Clanging]
[Glitch beeping]
Madhu says, MAYBE HE'S STILL TRYING TO BE YOUR FRIEND?
Slippy says, I DON’T THINK SO.
He, Ella and Madhu watch Victor follow Glitch around the clubhouse. Slippy steps out of the two robots’ path.
Ella says, SLIPPY, I THINK WE HAVE TO SEND VICTOR BACK TO VESTA.
Slippy says, BUT MAYBE...
Madhu says, VESTA IS HIS HOME, SLIPPY.
Slippy says, BUT..BUT...GLITCH AND VICTOR ARE BEST FRIENDS.
Madhu says, REALLY? IT SURE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
[Dramatic music plays]
Glitch clings to a wall. Victor pulls on Glitch’s free arm.
Slippy says, NO! GLITCH! OKAY. WE HAVE TO SHUT VICTOR DOWN AND QUICK.
Ella flies up to Glitch. She takes Glitch’s arm and pulls away from Victor. Madhu stretches their arms and grabs Victor from behind.
[Madhu grunting]
Madhu says, PLEASE... DO IT FAST!
[Glitch beeping with panic]
Slippy shouts, THERE'S VICTOR IS ON OFF BUTTON. CAN YOU REACH IT ELLA?
[Ella grunting]
Ella says, NO, IT'S TOO FAR.
[Madhu grunting]
Madhu says, I CAN'T LET GO OF VICTOR.
Slippy franticly looks between Ella and Madhu. Victor scans Glitch and the recycling logo appears. The baseball-sized ball hits Victor’s on-off button.
[Victor powering down]
The light in Victor’s two recycling logo eyes goes out. Victor starts to fall, and Glitch’s arm slips out of Victor’s hand. Madhu flies away from Victor, and Victor hits the ground. Nearby, Slippy holds a bat.
[Triumphant music plays]
Ella and Glitch land in front of Slippy.
Ella says, NICE SHOT SLIPPY!
Glitch rolls over to Slippy. Slippy drops the bat and picks up Glitch.
Slippy says, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY, PAL.
[Glitch beeping in relief]
Madhu lands beside Ella.
Madhu asks, IS VICTOR OKAY?
Slippy says, YEAH, HE'S JUST OFFLINE AGAIN.
Ella says, SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE VICTOR BACK TO VESTA NOW, RIGHT?
In Vesta's crater, Ella, Glitch, and Madhu face Victor. Slippy presses Victor’s power button.
[Victor powering on]
Victor’s recycling logo eyes light up. Victor stands and grabs pieces of metal from a pile of junk. Maggie appears from Ella’s watch.
Ella says, YOU KNOW, VICTOR’S A PRETTY COOL ROBOT.
Madhu says, AND HE IS VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB.
Organized cubs of junk slide out of Victor.
Slippy says, HE'S STILL GOT THIS ENTIRE CRATER FULL OF SPACE JUNK TO RECYCLE. THAT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN FOR HIM.
Maggie says, I AGREE. SLIPPY. IT WILL BE VERY NICE TO SEE VESTA'S CRATER CLEAN AGAIN.
Ella, Slippy and Madhu watch Victor work.
Slippy says, GLITCH, YOU'RE KINDA QUIET.
Slippy glances toward Glitch and frowns.
Slippy says, GLITCH?
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch slides a small pile of junk over to Victor. Victor turns toward Glitch and the junk.
[Glitch beeping happily]
Ella, Slippy and Madhu say, AWWWWW.

[Triumphant music plays]
Ella and Glitch land in front of Slippy.
Ella says, NICE SHOT SLIPPY!
Glitch rolls over to Slippy. Slippy drops the bat and picks up Glitch.
Slippy says, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY, PAL.
[Glitch beeping in relief]
Madhu lands beside Ella.
Madhu asks, IS VICTOR OKAY?
Slippy says, YEAH, HE'S JUST OFFLINE AGAIN.
Ella says, SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE VICTOR BACK TO VESTA NOW, RIGHT?
In Vesta's crater, Ella, Glitch, and Madhu face Victor. Slippy presses Victor’s power button.
[Victor powering on]
Victor’s recycling logo eyes light up. Victor stands and grabs pieces of metal from a pile of junk. Maggie appears from Ella’s watch.
Ella says, YOU KNOW, VICTOR’S A PRETTY COOL ROBOT.
Madhu says, AND HE IS VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB.
Organized cubs of junk slide out of Victor.
Slippy says, HE'S STILL GOT THIS ENTIRE CRATER FULL OF SPACE JUNK TO RECYCLE. THAT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN FOR HIM.
Maggie says, I AGREE. SLIPPY. IT WILL BE VERY NICE TO SEE VESTA'S CRATER CLEAN AGAIN.
Ella, Slippy and Madhu watch Victor work.
Slippy says, GLITCH, YOU'RE KINDA QUIET.
Slippy glances toward Glitch and frowns.
Slippy says, GLITCH?
[Glitch beeping]
Glitch slides a small pile of junk over to Victor. Victor turns toward Glitch and the junk.
[Glitch beeping happily]
Ella, Slippy and Madhu say, AWWWWW.
Victor picks up the small pile of junk.
[Gentle music plays]
