Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.
As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese. Fast clips show them next to Greg playing and having fun in the tree fort. Greg is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a blue sweater.
The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS KISS YOUR TURTLE GOOD-BYE COME UP AND CLIMB WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY SO MUCH TO SEE SO MUCH TO DO IN OUR TREE FORT WE'VE GOT A SHOW FOR YOU THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW.
[Greg shrieking]
Laura says PASSWORD, PLEASE.
The word "PASSWORD" appears in the sky.
In animation, a dialogue bubble pops out of a map with the title of the show: "That TVO Kids Show."
The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH THAT TVOKIDS SHOW! THAT TVOkids SHOW.
Inside the tree fort, Laura holds a large, empty bag of popcorn. She's wearing blue jeans and a red jacket.
She says THE BEST DAY EVER, THE BEST DAY EVER, IS TODAY! BECAUSE IT'S POPCORN DAY. TVOKIDS, CHECK IT OUT, I HAVE MY BAG OF POPCORN. I LOVE POPCORN. I ALSO MADE A BET WITH MYSELF THAT I COULD CATCH TEN POPCORNS IN MY MOUTH. ARE YOU READY? OKAY.
As she throws pop corns up n the air and catches them in her mouth, she says ONE! DOING IT, DOING IT. TWO. THIS IS AMAZING. I'M ON A ROLL. OH! THREE! OKAY. OH, NO. OH, NO, NO, NO. I'M ALL OUT OF POPCORN. I ALREADY ATE IT ALL. HOW DID I DO THAT? OH, NO, I'M ALL OUT OF POPCORN. WHAT DO I DO? TALK TO TVOKIDS. THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

A voice says Champion!
A short video shows a tiny white dog playing in thick snow.
Laura says OH, LOOK AT THE DOG IN THE SNOW, LULU, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?
Lulu says 10 OUT OF 10.
Laura says A HUNDRED PER CENT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE FOR THE DOG IN THE SNOW. IS THIS LOOKING GOOD. BUT WE STILL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHALLENGER.
A voice says Challenger!
A short video shows a black and brown Daschund dog asleep on a couch, wearing a pink shirt with a fat belly and covered in popcorn.
Laura says OH, OH, IT LOOKS LIKE THE DOG MAY HAVE WATCHED TOO MANY MOVIES IN A ROW. WHAT DO YOU THINK, LULU?
Lulu says NINE OUT OF TEN.
Laura says SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. WHICH ONE DID YOU LIKE BETTER?
Lulu says THE FIRST ONE.

Lulu disappears.
Laura says THAT REALLY CHEERED ME UP. EVEN THOUGH I'M OUT OF THE POPCORN. BUT WE DO NEED TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE APPROXIMATE IT IS NATIONAL POPCORN DAY. I KNOW. I'LL TALK TO PO WHO ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Po the raccoon pops up and chitters.
Laura says HEY, PO, LISTEN, WE HAVE A POPCORN EMERGENCY. I'M ALL OUT OF POPCORN. I KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT MORE. I NEED MORE POPCORN STAT. GO AND GET LUCAS AND TELL HIM I NEED MORE POPCORN KERNELS. OKAY. WILL HE COME BACK WITH THE POPCORN. OH, AN E-MAIL. WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME FOR.
In animation, a megaphone pops up and the tree fort shakes as a voice says WE NEED TO KNOW!
Laura says IT'S TIME FOR WE NEED TO KNOW WHICH MEANS WE HAVE AN E-MAIL QUESTION. LET'S CHECK OUT THE QUESTION. HERE IT IS. IT'S FROM CHRYSALIS. AGE 8. CHRYSALIS WRITES, POPCORN IS MY FAVOURITE SNACK. I'M EIGHT AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY DOES POPCORN POP? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. AND TVOKIDS, SPEAKING OF QUESTIONS, WE WANT YOUR QUESTIONS, SO HEAD TO TVOKIDS.COM. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION SEND SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS. BUT BACK TO CHRYSALIS' QUESTION. THAT'S A GOOD ONE. I'VE BEEN EATING POPCORN MY WHOLE LIFE AND I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW WHY IT POPS. SO WE SHOULD TALK TO MY FAVOURITE SCIENTIST, DR. DAVE.
In a clip, Lucas plays Doctor Dave, the scientist with tousled white hair and a bionic eye.
He says HELLO, IT IS ME. GOOD TO SEE YOU. I HAVE SHRUNKEN DOWN TO THE SIZE OF A TINY POPCORN KERNEL TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR YOU. WE WANT TO DISCOVER WHY POPCORN POPS. I HAVE SHRUNK TO THE SIZE OF THIS POPCORN POP AND I DISCOVERED THAT INSIDE A POPCORN THERE ARE TINY MOLECULES OF WATER AND STARCH. YOU MUST BE THINKING, DR. DIPPY, SO WHEN THE KERNELS HEATS UP THE WATER GETS HOTTER AND THE STARLINGS GET BIGGER AND IT EXPLODES AND THE WHITE THINGS YOU SEE ARE THE STARCH THAT MAKES THE POPCORN. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. NEXT, I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW THEY GET BIG AGAIN.
The clip ends and another plays. Music plays as an animated slate reads THE TREE FORT IMPROV COMPANY PRESENTS.
Lucas stands inside a room with gray walls and says WHAT'S UP, TVOKIDS? LUCAS HERE. I AM LOOKING AT MOVIES BECAUSE POPCORN DAY MEANS WE HAVE TO EAT POPCORN. THERE'S A BUNCH OF MOVIES IN THE TREE FORT AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO WATCH. PLEASE WELCOME OUR VERY SPECIAL GUEST, IT'S AMALIA THE MOVIE BUFF.
Laura steps in playing Amalia, who has long white hair and wears a red beret, a black jacket and round glasses.
Lucas says IT'S WONDERFUL TO MEET YOU. I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO MEET YOU.
Amalia says I KNOW. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME. I KNOW ERRING ABOUT MOVIES, FILMS. HI.
Lucas says THERE'S THREE MOVIES I WAS THINKING OF. I WONDER IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THE RATES ARE.
Amalia says AS KNOW YOU HAVE DEFINITELY SEE THE MOVIES A HUNDRED PER CENT. I KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME.
Lucas says GOOD. I'M GLAD YOU LET ME KNOW ABOUT THAT. SAIL AWAY SALLY.
A movie poster on a wall in the background shows a sailboat in the water and the title "Sail away, Sally!."
Amalia says SAIL AWAY SALLY. LET ME TELL YOU A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE DIRECTED THE FILM. HER NAME FUNNILY ENOUGH IS SALLY. AND WHAT THIS IS ALL APPROXIMATE, IT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT FOLKS NAMED SALLY THAT ACTUALLY... A BOAT NAMED SALLY THAT ACCIDENTALLY BECOMES UNDOCK. THEN IT SALES AWAY. I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANY MORE BECAUSE I BET YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A MOVIE LIKE...
Lucas says OKAY. THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT ODD.
Amalia says AND IT GETS SCARY. IT GETS SCARY. THAT'S A SCARY MOVIE SAIL AWAY SALLY.
Lucas says OKAY. LETS DO SECOND ONE. OKAY, THIS IS THE OTHER ONE. IT'S CALLED LEMON. A MEMOIR.
A yellow poster with a picture of a lemon pops up.
Amalia says LEMON, A MEMOIR.
Lucas says YEAH.
Amalia says I HAVE TO SAY, I DID NOT LIKE THIS FILM. I AM A MOVIE CRITIC AND I AM HERE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. HATED IT.
Lucas says WHY?
Amalia says ABSOLUTELY HATED IT. THE STYLE. THE LENGTH.
Lucas says WHAT WAS THE MAIN CHARACTER.
Amalia says FUNNILY ENOUGH YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE ABOUT LEMON. IT WASN'T. IT WAS ABOUT AN ORANGE THAT THROWS YOU OFF FROM THE BEGINNING. YOU SAY I THOUGHT I CAME TO WATCH ABOUT A LEMON.
Lucas says THAT'S NOT THE TRAILER I SAW.
Amalia says THERE IS AUTOBUS AT THE END. NORMALLY I WOULDN'T TELL YOU BUT IT TURNS INTO A GRAPEFRUIT. WHERE'S THE LOGIC?
Lucas says I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. CHECK OUT THE LAST ONE.
Lucas flips to another poster, which shows a U.F.O. abducting a reindeer. The title reads "A Christmas abduction."
Amalia says OH, YES, OF COURSE, A CHRISTMAS ABDUCTION. I APPRECIATE YOU THROWING THIS ONE IN. IT WAS ACTUALLY A FILM BY ME. ONE OF MY FIRST FILMS THAT IS NOW A CULT CLASSIC ACROSS THE GLOBE.
Lucas says I THOUGHT THERE BASS A DIFFERENT DIRECTOR OR WRITER OF THIS MOVIE.
Amalia says NO IT WAS ME. I WAS JUST USING MY OTHER NAME. ANY WAYS... THE FILM, A CHRISTMAS ABDUCTION IS ABOUT... IT WASTE'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMS. AN AIL LEN COMES DOWN AND AND DUCTS THE REINDEER. WHAT DO BY DO. WE MOVE ON. TEN OUT OF KNOWN THE BOX OFFICE. I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
Lucas says I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT HELPS BUT THE MOVIES DEFINITELY LOOK EXCITING.
Pop pops up and Lucas says PO. IS THAT YOU? A POPCORN EMERGENCY. AND YOU NEED ME TO GET KERNELS TO BRING TO THE TRY FORT? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY? THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
Now music plays as a montage of fast clips shows scenes of busy cities, eyes being scanned and people celebrating.
A robotic voice says I LOVE MY JOB.
A young bald man stands next to a filming camera near a playground and says MY NAME IS CAL AND I'M A CAMERA OPERATOR.
The robotic voice says CAL, WHAT DOES A CAMERA OPERATOR DO.
Cal says A CAMERA OPERATOR BASICALLY CAPTURES AN EVENT. SHOW SHOWS. SPORTS GAME. THIS SHOW WE FILM SIX KIDS FROM THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. THE STARS OF THE EPISODE. ALL AROUND PAINTING. WE DOCUMENT THE WHOLE THING.
The robotic voice says WHO TOOLS DO YOU USE FOR YOUR JOB?
As fast clips show Cal filming with a large camera, he says DEFINITELY THE CAMERA. COMMUNICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DIRECTOR AND ALONG WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE CREW. GENERALLY WE ARE WALKING. COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER CAMERA MEN WITHOUT PEAKING NOISE.
The robotic voice says DO YOU USE MATH FOR YOUR JOB?
Cal says MATH AND SCIENCE ARE DEFINITELY IMPORTANT. IT IS A LOT OF NUMBERS. AND LIGHTING HAS TO BE AT A CERTAIN RANGE FOR LIGHTING. TOO MUCH LIGHT EVERYTHING LOOKS OVER EXPOSED WHICH IS TOO MUCH LIGHT AND HORRIBLE OR IT COULD BE TOO DARK. YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE RIGHT RANGE.
The robotic voice says To be a Camera Operator YOU MIGHT NEED A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, COLLEGE DIPLOMA AND a work PLACEMENT.
Cal says THE MAIN THING I SUGGEST APPLYING WITH A CAMERA. HOW IT WORKS. FRAMING. LIGHTING. COLOUR TEMPERATURE. AND JUST KNOWING HOW TO PROBLEM SOLVE YOUR GEAR WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG IN THE FIELD.
The robotic voice says CAL, WHY DO YOU LOVE YOUR JOB?
Cal says BEST PART ABOUT BEING A CAMERA OPERATOR IS THAT EVERY DAY OF WORK IS DIFFERENT. EVEN IF WE ARE IN THE SAME PLACE. SAME STUDIO OR SOMETHING ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
The clip ends.
Back inside the tree fort, as Laura makes popcorn in a tall pot, Lucas says THEN PO CAME AND TOLD ME YOU NEEDED KERR ANYTHING ELSE.
Laura says PO ALWAYS SAVES THE DAY.
Lucas says TVOKIDS, LAURA RAN OUT OF POPCORN SO WE ARE MAKING MORE, OKAY.
Laura says THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING OVER HERE.
Lucas says WE PUT A TABLESPOON OF OIL IN THE POT. ALWAYS HAVE A PARENT HELP.
Laura says YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT MOVING. THAT'S WHY I'M SPINNING THIS TO KEEP THEM MOVING. THEY ARE POPPING.
Lucas says THAT POPCORN HAS A SUPER GOOD HOMEY TASTE TO IT. PERFECT FOR A MOVIE.
Laura says I THINK SO TOO. AND A NICE LITTLE SCIENCE PROJECT TOO.
Lucas says LOOK AT IT GO. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH POPCORN.
Laura says I KNOW, I'M EXCITED.
Lucas says POPCORN FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK.
Laura says WHAT IF THE TREE FOR THE FILLS UP WITH POPCORN.
Lucas says WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER POPCORN DAY. THURSDAY IS RODENT DAY. GET THAT.
Laura says THERE'S LOTS OF RODENTS ON THE THERE.
Lucas says WE WANT MORE. IF KNOW ANY.
Laura says IF YOU HAVE ONE, IF YOU'RE WATCHING, CALL IN.
Lucas says WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
A caption reads "Call us at 1-888-886-5437."
Lucas says OKAY. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE POPCORN, PROBABLY WATCH A MOVIE BUT WE WILL SEE TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER AWESOME DAY IN THE TREE FORT.
Laura says CAN'T WAIT TO EAT THIS POPCORN.
Lucas says IT'S LOOKING GOOD. WOO-HOO!
