[Whistling]

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

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

[Upbeat music plays]

Messy hops into Okidoodle, a blue and white 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 the cloud ship, a cloud-shaped airship. Inside, he joins a blue-haired boy wearing a blue shirt and 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 ball 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.

Messy 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.

[Magical music plays in the background]

At night, Messy jumps on a living room couch. The light of a T.V. flickers across the couch. Messy smells the air.

[Messy sniffing]

Messy says, IT MUST BE MOVIE NIGHT!
AND MOVIE NIGHT MEANS...

[Messy sniffing]

Messy jumps onto a coffee table with a popcorn bucket.

Messy says, ...POPCORN!

He looks in the popcorn bucket.

Messy groans, OH, I MISSED IT!

He smiles and says, OOH!
THERE'S ONE LEFT.

Messy eats a single piece of popcorn.

[Munching]

Messy says, AH!

He looks in the popcorn bucket.

Messy says, OH.
NOW, THERE'S ONLY UNPOPPED ONES.
THERE MUST FEEL LEFT OUT OF
MOVIE NIGHT, TOO!

Episode title: Monster Popcorn. Written by Dilpreet Kaur Walia.

Messy says, DON'T WORRY!
I'LL HELP YOU GO BA-LA-BA-LA
POP-POP!
GO ON.

[Messy giggling]

Messy says, THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU CAN DO IT!
GET READY TO TURN INTO POPCORN!

He dances across the coffee table.

Messy says, POPPITY-POP-POP!

He frowns.

Messy says, OH THEY WON'T GO "POP."

He looks in the popcorn bucket.

Messy says, OOH.
I KNOW WHAT TO DO!
STAY RIGHT THERE, UNPOPPED
POPCORNS.

[Anticipatory music plays]

Messy leans over the popcorn bucket.

He shouts, BOO!

[Voice echoing]

Messy says, A BIG NOTHING AGAIN.
HMM.
WHY DO SOME POPCORNS GO "POP"
AND WHY DO SOME NOT?
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 toward Felix and Zoe’s house. Outside the house, Zoom watches Zoe and Felix throw a bean bag back and forth. Messy lands beside Zoe and Felix.

Messy loudly says, HELLO!

Zoe says, WHOA!
AH!

She stumbles and throws the bean bag.

Felix says, WHOOPS!

Zoe says, OH, WHOOPS.
HI, MESSY.

Felix says, HI.

Zoe and Felix wave. Their bean bag flies past Zoom. Zoom transforms into a net and catches the bean bag.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy says, GREAT CATCH, ZOOM.

Zoe asks, WANT TO PLAY CATCH WITH THE
BEAN BAGS, MESSY?

[Zoom chittering]

As a net, Zoom launches the bean back at Messy. It bounces off Messy.

Zoe says, WHOA!

[Felix giggling]

[Zoe giggling]

[Messy chuckling]

Messy says, ZOOM, I WASN'T READY!

Zoom transforms back to his normal shape.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy says, AND I CAN'T PLAY RIGHT NOW.
I'M ON A MISSION.
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MAKES
POPCORN GO "POP," AND WHY DO
SOME NOT POP?

Messy looks thoughtful.

He says, I JUST LOVE POPCORN!

[Messy’s tummy rumbling]

[Felix chuckling]

Felix says, SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO GET
TO THE FAB FOOD FACTORY FAST.

Zoe says, MM-HMM.
THE MINI-CHEFS MIGHT EVEN LET
YOU TRY SOME POPCORN!

Messy says, DID YOU HEAR THAT, TUMMY?

He licks his lips.

Messy says, GET READY FOR SOME TASTY TREATS!

Messy pats his belly.

[Messy whistling]

Okidoodle rolls out of the garage attached to the house.

[Okidoodle honking]

Messy hops in Okidoodle with Zoom and drives away. In the city, Messy parks outside the Fab Food Factory, a giant mixing bowl building with a building on top of mixing beaters.

[Wheels screeching]

Zoom follows Messy into the Fab Food Factory.

[Zoom chittering]

Inside, a conveyor belt moves bowls. Mini-chef hat mini-chefs walk around.

Messy says, FOOD!
MORE FOOD.
CONVEYOR BELTS OF FOOD, AND AH,
POPCORN!

Messy picks up one of the mini-chefs whose hat looks like a piece of popcorn.

Messy says, WHOOPS.
SORRY, MINI-CHEF.

Messy puts the mini-chef down.

Messy asks, WHICH WAY IS IT TO THE POPCORN,
PLEASE?

Messy points to his left and right at the same time. The mini-chef points toward the end of the room.

Messy says, THANKS, CHEF!

Messy runs through the room with Zoom. The mini-chef spots a stack of bowls on the end of a conveyor belt.

[Mini-chef yelping]

The mini-chef runs to the conveyor belt.

[Bowls clattering]

The bowls fall off the conveyor belt.

[Bowls breaking]

The mini-chef slips and falls on the bowls.

[Thudding]

[Crashing]

[Conveyor belt beeping]

Messy looks over his shoulder toward the conveyor belt.

Messy says, OOPS.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy runs into Geoffrey.

Messy says, WHOA!
SORRY, GEOFFREY.

Geoffrey says, OH, NO.
I'M SORRY, MESSY.
I WAS LOST IN THOUGHT.
I'M DESIGNING A NEW MONSTER
SHAKE, YOU SEE!

Messy says, OOH!
I'LL HAVE ONE OF THOSE, PLEASE.
UH, WHAT IS A MONSTER SHAKE?

Geoffrey says, IT'S A BIG MILKSHAKE WITH
LAYERS OF ALL YOUR FAVOURITE
FLAVOURS, TOPPED WITH, UH…
WITH, UH…

[Zoom chittering]

Messy demands, WITH WHAT?
I NEED TO KNOW!

Geoffrey says, WELL, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO USE FOR THE
TOPPING.

Messy says, OH, THAT'S EASY.
GREEN SOCKS!

Geoffrey says, I COULDN'T POSSIBLY PUT...

[Geoffrey gagging]

Geoffrey says, ...SOCKS ON…

[Geoffrey gagging]

Geoffrey says, …MY SHAKES.

Messy says, OH, COME ON.
THEY'RE DELICIOUS.
I'D STAY AND HELP, BUT WE'VE GOT
TO FIND THE POPCORN LAB.

Geoffrey says, THAT'S IT!
A POPCORN TOPPING!
GREAT IDEA, MESSY!
BUT WHAT FLAVOUR?
HMM.
WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOME
TASTE-TESTING!

Messy says, AH!

He sticks out his tongue.

Messy says, TASTE-TESTING SOUNDS YUM-TASTIC.
TO THE POPCORN LAB WE GO.

He leads Zoom and Geoffrey down a hallway into a lab full of machines and conveyor belts. Mini-chefs run around the lab. One machine has long, vacuum-like tubes. Another looks like a Ferris wheel with popcorn containers. A third with a circular surface pops popcorn. A zapper machine points at a small surface.

[Machines whirring]

Messy says, SO MUCH POPCORN.

Geoffrey and Zoom walk off to the side. Messy runs straight ahead into a wall of glass.

Messy says, OUCH!

He slides down the glass.

Geoffrey says, OH, YES.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR
THAT.

[Messy groaning]

Messy pries himself off the glass. He joins Geoffrey and Zoom at a conveyor belt with lines of popcorn.

Geoffrey says, NOW, THESE BOUNCY BUNDLES OF
JOY ARE CALLED...

Messy says, ...UNPOPPED POPCORN!

Geoffrey says, WELL, TECHNICALLY, THEY'RE
CALLED KERNELS.
BUT IN ORDER FOR A KERNEL TO GO
"POP," IT HAS TO ENTER THE HOT
POPCORN RING AND FACE THE HEAT.

The conveyor belt drops popcorn kernels onto the circular machine. Kernels in the machine pop into popcorn.

[Kernels popping]

Messy says, WHOA!
THE HEAT'S MAKING THEM GO
POP-POP-POP!

Geoffrey says, THAT'S RIGHT, MESSY!

A strainer in the popping machine lifts the popcorn out and leaves kernels behind.

Geoffrey explains, THE HEAT CAUSES STEAM TO BUILD
UP INSIDE THE KERNEL'S SHELL.
WHEN IT CAN'T HOLD IT IN
ANYMORE, IT ESCAPES IN ONE BIG
POP.

The strainer pours the popcorn into a mini-chef’s wheelbarrow.

[Popcorn popping]

Messy says, OH, NO.
THESE "KER-NALS" DIDN'T STEAM UP
AND POP!

Geoffrey says, SOME KERNELS HAVE CRACKS IN
THEIR SHELLS, SO THE STEAM CAN'T
BUILD UP INSIDE.

The bottom of the popping machine rises and pours the leftover kernels into a mini-chef’s wheelbarrow.

Geoffrey says, IT ESCAPES SLOWLY, AND THEY
DON'T POP.

Messy says, OH.
POOR LITTLE TINY "KER-NALS."

Geoffrey says, DON'T WORRY, MESSY!
THE UNPOPPED KERNELS DON'T GET
THROWN AWAY.
THEY'RE RECYCLED INTO FUN
BEANBAGS!
LOOK.
NOW, ALL THE SCRUMPTIOUS
FLAVOURS ARE ADDED.

The vacuum tube machine blows flavouring onto the buckets of popcorn in the Ferris wheel machine.

[Machines whirring]

Geoffrey says, HMM.
I WONDER WHICH POPCORN FLAVOUR I
SHOULD USE ON MY MONSTER SHAKE!

He eats a piece of popcorn.

Messy says, WHOA!
WHAT DOES THAT DO, GEOFFREY?

[Zoom chittering]

Geoffrey says, OOH, THAT'S JUST THE GIANT
ZAPPER MACHINE.
IT MAKES GIANT FOOD FOR THE
GIANTS!

Messy stares at the zapper machine.

Messy asks, GIANT FOOD?

[Messy gasping]

Geoffrey says, BUT ONLY THE TRAINED TINY
CHEFS ARE ALLOWED TO USE IT.

He looks at a bucket of popcorn.

Geoffrey asks, WHAT ABOUT STRAWBERRY?

He tries a piece of popcorn. Messy grabs a piece and walks away. Geoffrey spits out the popcorn.

He says, TOO MUCH.

Messy walks over to the zapper machine as two mini-chefs walk away. Messy drops his piece of popcorn on the small platform. He looks at the zapper and spots a red button.

Messy says, MUST PUSH RED BUTTON.

He reaches for the red button. Messy grabs his paw.

Messy says, NO, MESSY.
ONLY THE TINY CHEFS CAN PUSH THE
BUTTON TO MAKE YUMMY, GIANT
POPCORN!

Messy presses the red button.

[Zapper machine powering on]

Messy says, WHOOPS.

Geoffrey says, MESSY, WHAT DID YOU DO?

He runs over to Messy with Zoom.

Messy says, UH, I MIGHT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY
PUSHED THE BUTTON.

[Zapper machine whirring]

The zapper machine zaps the small piece of popcorn. The popcorn grows giant.

[Zapper machine dinging]

Geoffrey says, WHOA.

Messy says, OH!
A GIANT MONSTER POPCORN!
OOH.
A LEVER.
WHAT DOES THIS DO?

He pulls a lever beside the red button.

Geoffrey wails, MESSY, NO!

Messy pulls the lever. The zapper platform rises the tilts. The giant popcorn rolls off. Messy, Geoffrey, and Zoom run away.

[Dramatic music plays]

Messy says, GIANT WHOOPS!
NO!

Geoffrey shouts, RUN!

The giant platform crashes through a brick wall and onto the streets of Okido.

[Crashing]

[Monsters screaming]

In the factory, Messy, Geoffrey, and Zoom stand by the hole in the wall with a group of mini-chefs.

[Geoffrey wailing]

Geoffrey faints. The mini-chefs catch him.

Messy says, WE'LL STOP THAT MONSTER POPCORN.

He and Zoom look determined. They run onto the street.

[Zoom chittering]

[Screaming]

The monster-sized popcorn bounces down a street. A monster runs across the street. A monster in a car swerves around a corner. The monster popcorn bounces into the countryside. In a garden, Zam spots the popcorn and runs away.

[Zam yelping]

The monster popcorn bounces over the garden and tumbles across a field. Messy chases after it.

[Dramatic music continues]

Messy says, THIS POPCORN IS WAY TOO BIG!

Zoom follows Messy.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy says, ZOOM, DO SOMETHING!

[Zoom chittering]

Zoom transforms into a fishing pole and hooks the popcorn.

Messy says, ZOOM?

The rolling popcorn pulls Zoom. Messy grabs onto Zoom and is pulled onto the popcorn.

Messy yelps, WHOA!

He runs on the monster popcorn. Zoom transforms back to his normal shape and flies beside Messy.

Messy wails, HOLD ON!

He runs on the monster popcorn.

[Messy wailing]

Messy says, COME ON.
THIS WAY!

[Zoom chittering]

The monster popcorn rolls toward a cliff.

[Messy panting]

Messy says, AH, YES.

He turns around and runs the other way.

Messy says, THAT'S IT.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy wails, ZOOM!

Messy stops running, and the popcorn stops rolling as it reaches the cliff's edge. Messy jumps off the popcorn. Zoom follows.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy says, PHEW!
THAT WAS CLOSE.


Messy wipes sweat off his chin and gently taps the monster popcorn. The popcorn tips toward the edge of the cliff.

[Dramatic music plays]

Messy says, UH-OH.

The monster popcorn falls off the cliff. On the ground below, Farmer Fuddle stands in a garden with a watering can,

Farmer Fuddle says, IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE CLOUDY
TO –

[Farmer Fuddle screaming]

Farmer Fuddle covers his head. Rock monster Lofty kicks the monster popcorn like a soccer ball.

Lofty says, HEY-HEY!

Farmer Fuddle says, OH, BLIMEY!
LOFTY, YOU SAVED ME AND MY
TURNIPS!

Rock monster Mini says, AH, GOT IT.

She hits the monster popcorn.

She says, LET'S PLAY BALL.

Rock monster Craggy hits the monster popcorn back to Mini. Popcorn crumbs fall off as Lofty, Mini, and Craggy hit it back and forth. Messy runs around eating the falling crumbs.

Messy says, YUM-YUM-YUM.

[Zoom giggling]

[Messy munching]

Mini jumps. Messy narrowly dodges her foot.

Mini says, WHOA.
WATCH OUT, MESSY.

She stumbles and kicks the monster popcorn.

Mini yelps, OH, WHOA!

The monster popcorn bounces toward Okido.

Messy says, GIANT WHOOPS AGAIN.

[Zoom chittering]

Messy says, WE CAN STOP IT!

He eats a piece of falling popcorn.

[Messy munching]

Messy says, COME ON, GIANTS!
LET'S OKI-GO!

In the city, Mayor Oki trims a hedge that looks like him.

Mayor Oki says, VERY HANDSOME, EVEN IF I DO
SAY SO MYSELF.

[Dramatic music plays]

The monster popcorn flies through the air. Mayor Oki looks up and chops off the top of his hedge.

Mayor Oki wails, THE END IS HERE!

The monster popcorn bounces off a street full of monsters.

[Monsters screaming]

The monster popcorn hits the cloud ship hovering above.

[Clanging]

On a street below, Lofty, Craggy, and Mini stand facing each other. On the sidewalk, Zoom transforms into a trampoline.


[Zoom chittering]

Messy cheers, WAHOO!
HA-HA.

He bounces off Zoom. Lofty, Craggy, and Mini catch the monster popcorn. Messy leaps through the air toward the popcorn.

Messy says, TAKE THAT, POPCORN.

He slams his paw into the monster popcorn and a crack forms.

[Cracking]

[Rumbling]

Popcorn crumbs rain down over Okido. Messy stands outside a store.

Messy says, MONSTER POPCORN CRUMBS ARE...

He jumps and catches a falling crumb in his mouth.

Messy says, HA-HA!

Zoom hovers beside Messy.

[Zoom chittering]

[Messy munching]

Messy says, ...YUMMY.

[Zoom chittering]

Other monsters in the street smile.

[Laughing]

[Cheering]

[Upbeat music plays]

At Geoffrey’s ice cream shop, Geoffrey walks outside with two monster shakes.

Geoffrey says, IS THAT SNOW?
WHAT A STRANGE DAY.

Popcorn crumbs sprinkle down on the smoothies. Geoffrey drinks one of the monster shakes.

[Slurping]

Geoffrey says, THAT'S NOT SNOW.
IT'S THE PERFECT TOPPING FOR MY
MONSTER SHAKE!
POPCORN SPRINKLES!
HA-HA!

He drinks more of his shake.

[Slurping]

Messy leads a conga line to Geoffrey’s shop.

[Cheering]

[Laughing]

Geoffrey says, MESSY, YOU LITERAL GENIUS, THIS
IS THE MOST MARVELLOUS TOPPING!
THANK YOU.

He gives Messy the other monster shake. Messy drinks the monster shake.

[Slurping]

Messy says, DELICIOUS!
HEY, GEOFFREY?
YOU SHOULD NAME THE SHAKE AFTER
ME.
THE MESSIEST MONSTER SHAKE!
HA-HA!

Geoffrey says, HMM.
DONE!
OKIDIANS, MEET THE MESSIEST
MONSTER SHAKE IN THE CITY!

[Monsters cheering]

Popcorn crumbs continue to fall across the city.

Messy says, THAT WAS FUN, BUT NOW, IT'S
TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME.

[Zoo chittering]

Messy says, ENJOY YOUR MESSIEST MONSTER
SHAKE, EVERYONE.

Geoffrey and the other monsters wave.

[Messy laughing]

Messy says, BYE!

Everyone says, BYE, MESSY.

Messy waves. He returns to the living room couch.

Messy says, NOT ALL POPCORN GOES "POP,"
BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE NOW,
I KNOW WHY.

[Cheerful music plays]

Messy says, WHEN KERNELS GET
SUPER-DUPER-HOT, STEAM BUILDS UP
INSIDE THEIR SHELLS UNTIL THEY
CAN'T HOLD IT IN.
THEN, THEY POP INTO DELICIOUS
POPCORN.

Messy holds his belly.

[Messy’s tummy rumbling]

Messy says, NOW, I'M REALLY, REALLY HUNGRY!

He looks around.

Messy says, IS IT?

He spins.

Messy cheers, BA-LA-BA-LA POPCORN!

He hops onto the coffee table. The popcorn bucket is full of popcorn.

Messy says, LEFT JUST FOR ME!

He smells the popcorn.

[Messy sniffing]

Messy says, HOO-HOO!
AFTER A BIG MONSTER DAY, A SMALL
BOWL OF POPCORN IS THE PERFECT
WAY TO END IT.

He smiles and sticks his head in the popcorn.

[Upbeat music plays]


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