[Whistling]

Messy, a furry blue monster with a red nose and a blue tail, whistles.

He says, LET'S SKI-DOODLE, OKIDOODLE!

Messy hops into a white and blue convertible. He presses a green button on the dashboard.

Singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO.

Messy sings, FIND OUT WHAT YOU WANT
TO KNOW.

The singers sing, LET'S ALL GO TO OKIDO.

Messy drives through the countryside past a pond and down a road with dancing trees.

He sings, OKIDO, OKIDO

The singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO.

Messy drives through Okido, a large city with tall, colourful buildings.

He sings, ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT
TO KNOW.

Messy drives onto a loop de loop and underwater.

He sings, COME ALONG AND SAY HELLO.
LET'S GO SEE OUR FRIENDS!

Messy runs into a domed shaped house. Inside, he joins a blue haired boy who wears a striped blue shirt and blue hat.

Messy shouts, FELIX!

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

A red haired girl wearing red overalls and a red hat waves to Messy.

Messy shouts, ZOE!

Zoe high-fives Messy.

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

Messy cheers, ZIM, ZAM, ZOOM!

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

Zim, who has a square shaped body and computer face appears with Zam, a green triangle, and Zoom, a pink creature. Zam’s science experiment explodes, filling the room with smoke.

Messy sings, BA-BA-LA-LA, BOOM-BOOM!

In Okido, Messy dances down a street with his friends.

The singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO
LET'S ALL GO TO OKIDO.
FIND OUT WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW.

Messy looks through a magnifying glass.

He sings with the others, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO!

Zoom transforms into a screen that reveals the title, Messy Goes to Okido. Messy jumps beside the screen and smiles.

In a living room at night, lights shine on a Christmas tree where a stocking hangs. The episode title reads, A Messy Night Before Christmas. Written by Don Berlinka & Sean Carson. Messy jumps in front of the tree.

He says, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!
AND YOU KNOW MY FAVOURITE THING
ABOUT CHRISTMAS?
CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS!

Messy shakes the Christmas tree.

[Rustling]

[Jingling]

Messy cheers, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Ornaments fall off the tree.

Messy says, OOPS.

His stocking lies on the floor.

Messy says, OH, I SHOULD BE IN BED, BUT I'M
TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!
AND IF I STAY UP ALL NIGHT,
MAYBE I'LL SEE FATHER CHRISTMAS!
IT'D BE A SHAME TO MISS HIM
WHILE I'M SLEEPING.

[Messy groaning]

Messy asks, WHY DO I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP AT
ALL?
WHY CAN'T I JUST STAY AWAKE ALL
THE TIME?

He looks thoughtful.

He says, HA!
WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW, GO TO
OKIDO!

[Magical music plays]

A green and white tunnel transports Messy to Okido, where he falls through the sky onto spring platforms and off a trampoline onto the ground. In Felix and Zoe’s snowy neighbourhood, Messy slides to their front door and raises his hand, but hesitates.

He says, OH, IT'S VERY LATE.
WHAT IF ZOE AND FELIX ARE
ASLEEP?
BETTER KNOCK REALLY HARD TO
MAKE SURE THEY WAKE UP!

Messy pounds on the door.

[Loud knocking]

Felix and Zoe greet Messy at the door.

They say, HI, MESSY!

Felix says, WE COULDN'T SLEEP.

Messy says, I DIDN'T WANT TO SLEEP.
I WANT TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO
SEE FATHER CHRISTMAS!

He looks at the Christmas tree inside the house. Felix closes the door.

Zoe says, FATHER CHRISTMAS?
WE WANT TO SEE MOTHER CHRISTMAS.

Messy says, MOTHER CHRISTMAS?

Zoe says, YES.
IN OKIDO, MOTHER CHRISTMAS FLIES
AROUND AND DELIVERS ALL THE
PRESENTS WE'VE SENT HER.

Messy says, WHAT?
ALL THE PRESENTS YOU'VE SENT
HER?

He looks confused.

He asks, WHAT KIND OF CHRISTMAS IS THIS?

[Felix chuckling]

Felix says, IT'S AN OKIDO CHRISTMAS!

[Soft Christmas music plays]

Felix kneels in front of the tree with a large book.

He says, WE ALL CHOOSE PRESENTS FOR OUR
FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND SEND
THEM TO MOTHER CHRISTMAS.

Felix flips through the book with Zoe and Messy.

Zoe says, WE TIE THEM TO OUR
CHRISTMAS BALLOONS.
AND THEY FLOAT ALL THE WAY TO
MOTHER CHRISTMAS'S SNOW CASTLE.

Felix says, WHERE SHE SLEEPS ALL
YEAR, UNTIL...

Zoe says, CHRISTMAS EVE!
THEN SHE GETS ONTO HER SPECIAL
SLED, DROPPING THE PRESENTS
WE'VE GOT FOR EACH OTHER INTO
ALL THE HOUSES.

[Messy gasping]

Messy says, I SO WANT TO SEE MOTHER
CHRISTMAS!
OH, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO,
I DO!
I'VE WANTED TO SEE HER EVER
SINCE YOU JUST TOLD ME ABOUT
HER.
I HAVE TO GIVE HER A PRESENT TO
DELIVER FOR, UM, SOMEONE YOU
DON'T KNOW…

Felix closes the book and says, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE
LIVES.

[Zoe gasping]

Zoe says, I BET ZIM AND ZAM DO!

[Messy whistling]

[Cheerful Christmas music plays]

Outside, stars light the night sky.

Messy says, LET'S SKI-DOODLE,
OKIDOODLE!

He zooms to Zim, Zam, and Zoom’s building in the white and blue convertible with Felix and Zoe. They ride up an elevator to the roof, where the cloud ship is decorated with colourful lights.

[Snoring]

Inside the cloud ship, Zim, Zam, and Zoom are asleep in bookshelf nooks that match their shapes.

[Zim murmuring]

Zim’s screen flickers.

[Zam snowing]

[Doorbell ringing loudly]

Zim and Zam wake suddenly and fall out of the bookshelf.

[Zim and Zam yelping]

[Zim stammering]

Panting, Zim says, THERE'S SOMEONE AT
THE DOOR!

Zim throws on a pair of reindeer antlers and runs through the room.

He says, OOH, OOH, OOH, MAYBE IT'S
MOTHER CHRISTMAS!

[Zam grunting]

Zim runs into an elevator. He frowns as he walks back out.

Messy, Zoe and Felix sing, CHRISTMAS TIME IN OKIDO.
EVERYONE'S HAVING FUN!

Zim takes off his antlers.

He says, WE THOUGHT YOU WERE MOTHER
CHRISTMAS.

He looks disappointed.

He says, YOU…
OH, WE WENT TO BED EARLY SO
THAT THE NEXT TIME WE WOKE UP,
IT WOULD BE CHRISTMAS AND WE'D
HAVE OUR PRESENTS.

Zam says, AND SHOULDN'T YOU CHILDREN BE
IN BED?

[Messy, Zoe and Felix yawning]

Messy says, NO, WE'RE FINE.

[Messy yawning]

Messy says, OH, DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO
MOTHER CHRISTMAS'S SNOW CASTLE?

Zim says, AH, AH, YES!
I KNOW THIS.

[Zim clearing his throat]

Zim says, IF YOU PLEASE, ZOOM.

[Zoom beeping]

Zoom becomes a monitor and displays a map.

Zim says, FROM OUR HOUSE HERE, YOU TURN
LEFT AT RAINBOW FALLS...

A car is shown traveling the route on the map.

Zam continues, THROUGH THE FOREST OF
ICE, AND THEN A SHARP RIGHT
WILL BRING YOU TO MOTHER
CHRISTMAS'S SNOW CASTLE.

Zim says, NOW, WE'RE GOING BACK TO BED.
WE NEED OUR SLEEP, AND SO DO
YOU.

Messy says, OH, BUT WHY?
WHY CAN'T WE JUST STAY UP AND
HAVE FUN?

Zim says, OOH, OOH, I KNOW THAT ONE,
TOO!
SCREEN WIPE, PLEASE, ZOOM.

Zoom clears his screen.

[Zoom beeping]

Zoom shows an image of a person sleeping.

Zim says, SLEEP ALLOWS YOUR BRAIN AND BODY
TO REST AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT
DAY.
IT'S LIKE GIVING YOUR BODY A
LITTLE BREAK.

Zoom shows the person at a beach.

[Person sighing]

Zam says, DIFFERENT PEOPLE NEED
DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF SLEEP.

Zoom shows people of different ages in beds.

Zam says, BABIES NEED A LOT.

Zim says, ADULTS NEED LESS.

[Yawning]

Zam says, CHILDREN NEED SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN.

Zoe says, THANK YOU, ZIM, ZAM, ZOOM.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

Zim says, YOU, TOO!

Zoe, Messy and Felix run to the elevator.

Messy says, OH, WE'RE NOT SLEEPING NOW.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE MOTHER
CHRISTMAS!

Zam says, OH.

Zim’s screen flickers.

Zam says, THAT WILL BE WHY THEY WANTED
DIRECTIONS.
YOU DON'T THINK THEY'LL WAKE UP
MOTHER CHRISTMAS, DO YOU?

Zim says, I HOPE NOT, BECAUSE IF SHE
DOESN'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP, SHE'LL
BE TOO TIRED TO DELIVER ALL THE
PRESENTS WE SENT HER.

[Cheerful Christmas music plays]

Messy drives through a forest with Zoe and Felix. At Mother Christmas’ castle, balloons lower presents to the ground.

Zoe says, WOW!

Felix says, WOW!

Messy says, WOW!

He runs up to a sleigh outside the castle and tosses two presents in.

He says, NOW, IS IT PRESENT TIME?

Zoe says, NOT 'TIL TOMORROW.

Felix says, WHEN IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY.

Messy says, AHA!
I'VE HAD A BRILLIANT IDEA.
CHRISTMAS STARTS WHEN MOTHER
CHRISTMAS WAKES UP, RIGHT?
SO ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAKE
HER UP, AND IT'LL BE CHRISTMAS!

Felix and Zoe share a look.

They say, HMM.

In the castle, Messy sneaks toward Mother Christmas’ room where she is asleep.

[Mother Christmas snoring]

Messy jumps beside Mother Christmas’ bed and bangs two cymbals together.

[Cymbals crashing]

Messy shouts, COME ON!
WAKE UP!
COME ON!

Mother Christmas remains asleep.

[Mother Christmas snoring]

Messy blows a horn.

[Horn honking]

Messy spins a ratchet.

[Ratchet rattling]

Messy looks annoyed.

He says, OH, IT'S NOT WORKING.

Felix says, LOOK!

He points to a button on the end of Mother Christmas’ bed.

Messy says, BA-LA-BA-LA-BOOM-BOOM!

He presses the button.

A large bell rings.

[Cheerful Christmas tune plays]

[Clock ticking]

A clock’s arrow shifts from a Jack-o-lantern to a Christmas tree.

[Alarm clock ringing]

Mother Christmas wakes up.

She says, CHRISTMAS TIME!

Messy, Felix and Zoe cheer, YES!

Mother Christmas says, OH, BUT WHY DO I FEEL SO
TIRED?

She glances at the clock.

She says, I SET THE ALARMS TO GIVE ME
EXACTLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF
SLEEP, AND -

Mother Christmas turns to Messy, Felix and Zoe.

She says, WHO ARE YOU?

Messy says, WE ARE ZOE, FELIX, AND MESSY,
YOUR NEW HELPERS.

[Mother Christmas yawning]

Mother Christmas hops out of bed.

She says, OH, I THINK I'LL NEED YOUR
HELP THIS CHRISTMAS.
I'M SO TIRED.

She stretches her arms.

Messy says, COME ON, THEN!
LET'S GET HO-HO-HO-ING!

[Cheerful Christmas music plays]

Messy, Felix and Zoe join Mother Christmas in her sleigh. They take off into the night sky.

Messy cheers, HURRAY!
WE'VE MADE CHRISTMAS COME EARLY!

Mother Christmas’ eyes flutter close.

[Mother Christmas snoring]

The sleigh dips toward the ground, and Mother Christmas jerks awake.

With wide eyes, she says, OH, OH, WHERE, WHERE AM I?
OH, IT'S CHRISTMAS.
WHAT?
OH.

Zoe looks worried.

She says, I THINK IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS
FOR HER TO BE FLYING A SLED
WHEN SHE'S SO TIRED.

Messy says, OH, THAT'S WHY SHE'S GOT
LITTLE HELPERS.

He blows a horn.

[Horn honking]

Mother Christmas jerks away.

She says, HO, HO, HO!
OH!

Presents tied to balloons are released from the sleigh. They float down to the houses in the city below. In the cloud ship, Zim, Zam and Zoom are asleep.

[Snoring]

Messy shouts, IT'S CHRISTMAS!

[Zim and Zam yelping]

Zim and Zam fall out of their sleeping nooks. Zim’s screen flickers. Zam throws her sleeping mask off.

Zam says, WHAT, WHAT THE, WHO?

She and Zim say, IT'S CHRISTMAS!

Zim puts on his reindeer antlers. Zoom eagerly joins him and Zam. They greet Mother Christmas, Messy, Zoe and Felix at the door. Mother Christmas looks sleepy.

[Zoom beeping]

Zim says, UH, WELCOME, YOUR MERRINESS.

Mother Christmas offers Zim a wrapped present. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
HO, HO… OH.

Mother Christmas falls asleep standing up. Zim, Zam and Zoom take a picture with her.

[Camera snapping]

[Mother Christmas yawning]

Zim and Zam take their presents.

Messy says, OH, OH, OH, OPEN THEM!
OPEN THEM!

Zam has a soccer ball.

She says, OH…

[Zam laughing awkwardly]

Zam says, A BALL.

Zim says, OH, UH, A BASEBALL BAT.
YIPPEE.

He looks at Zam.

Zam says, THAT'S NOT WHAT I GOT YOU.

Zim says, THAT'S NOT WHAT I GOT YOU,
EITHER.
I GOT YOU A GLOBE THAT SHOWS ALL
OF OKIDO.

Zam says, I GOT YOU A POGO STICK.
OH.

[Zam gasping]

Zam says, MOTHER CHRISTMAS HAS MIXED UP
THE PRESENTS.

Messy says, HUH?

He looks at Mother Christmas, who remains asleep.

[Mother Christmas snoring]

Zam says, AND WHY IS SHE SO TIRED?

Zoe and Felix look guilty.

[Mother Christmas yawning]

Messy says, I ONLY WOKE HER A TINY BIT
EARLY.

Zam says, OH, MESSY.
PEOPLE NEED SLEEP TO REST THEIR
BRAINS AND BODIES.
OBSERVE.

Zoom becomes a monitor that shows Zim in bed.

Zim says, IF PEOPLE DON'T GET
THEIR PROPER AMOUNT OF SLEEP...

[Clock ticking]

An alarm clock rings, and Zim wakes up.

[Alarm ringing]

Zam says, IT CAN MAKE THEM CLUMSY.

Zim trips over a toy and falls.

Zam adds, AND VERY ANGRY.

Zim scowls. Mother Christmas is asleep in her sleigh.

Messy says, OH, NO!
EVERYONE'S GOT THE WRONG
PRESENTS!

He looks thoughtful.

He says, HMM.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE WOKEN HER
EARLY IN THE SNOW CASTLE.

Felix sighs, OH.

Messy says, OH, I'VE HAD A BRILLIANT
IDEA!
I KNOW HOW TO FIX EVERYTHING,
AND I CAN LET MOTHER CHRISTMAS
CATCH UP ON HER SLEEP.

Felix and Zoe cheer, HURRAY!

[Cheerful Christmas music plays]

With Mother Christmas asleep, Messy steers the sleigh. He swaps out the wrong presents for the right ones, including Zam’s globe for the soccer ball, and Zim’s pogo stick for a baseball. Messy trades Mayor Oki’s present of a picture of Messy for a picture of Mayor Oki.

In the cloud ship, Zim bounces on his pogo stick. Zam smiles with her globe.

[Zoom beeping]

Zoom wears a winter hat and smiles. Over mountain tops, Messy and the others leave a trail of sparkles as they fly through the sky. Back at the castle, Mother Christmas stretches as she wakes up.

[Mother Christmas yawning]

Messy says, SORRY WE WOKE YOU UP
EARLY, MOTHER CHRISTMAS.
BUT WE DELIVERED ALL YOUR
PRESENTS, SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO
SLEEP.

Mother Christmas says, OH, THANK YOU, MY LOVES.

[Mother Christmas yawning]

Mother Christmas says, SEE YOU NEXT CHRISTMAS, BUT
DON'T WAKE ME BEFORE I'VE HAD
MY FULL YEAR'S SLEEP.

Messy and Felix say, WE WON'T!

Zoe says, PROMISE!

She, Messy and Felix wave to Mother Christmas. Back at the house, Zoe and Felix sit by the tree. They smile tiredly. Messy holds presents behind his back.

[Messy sighing]

Messy says, I'VE GOT THREE
UNDELIVERED PRESENTS.
ONE FOR YOU, ZOE, AND ONE FOR
YOU, FELIX.
MESSY CHRISTMAS!

Zoe and Felix hold pictures of Messy.

They say, YAY!
THANKS, MESSY!

Messy says, BUT WHO'S THE LAST PRESENT
FOR?

[Zoe and Felix giggling]

Felix says, YOU!

Messy says, OH-HO!

He opens his present, a pair of socks.

Messy says, AW, THANKS!

He eats one of the socks.

Zoe and Felix say, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MESSY!

Messy eats the other sock.

[Messy yawning]

Messy says, NEARLY RUINING CHRISTMAS FOR
EVERYONE IS TIRING.
BUT AT LEAST NOW I KNOW WHY IT'S
SO IMPORTANT EVERYONE GETS A
FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP.
BYE!

He waves to Zoe and Felix.

Felix says, BYE!

Zoe says, BYE, MESSY!

Messy returns his Christmas tree and stocking. He looks thoughtful.

He says, HMM.
WE NEED TO SLEEP BECAUSE IF WE
DON'T, OUR MINDS AND BODIES ARE
TOO TIRED TO DO ANYTHING
PROPERLY THE NEXT DAY.

[Messy yawning]

Messy says, MESSY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY.

He lies down in front of the tree and falls asleep. A person with white fur trimmed red pants and black boots walks up to the tree.

They say, HO, HO, HO!

They put a present under the tree.

End credits.

Messy sings, BA-LA-BA-LA-BOOM-BOOM!
