Transcript: Super Piggies
[Magical music plays]
In an animation, the sun shines brightly over a field of dandelions. A guinea pig with long brown fur frolics through the grass. In live action, the guinea pig rests in their hutch, a large wooden cage on posts in the Sawdust family’s backyard. Mr. and Mrs. Sawdust stand by a gate in the fence, and Karen, a girl with long brown hair in braided pigtails, runs up to the hutch with a kite.
[Guinea pig squeaking]
[Cheerful music plays]
The guinea pig sings, I'M A GUINEA PIG SENSATION WITH A GREAT IMAGINATION. I'M OLGA DA POLGA, THAT'S ME!
Facing the guinea hutch, Noel, a black cat, lies on a small grassy hill with Graham, a small tortoise, and Fangio, a hedgehog. Mrs. Sawdust trims a bush. Mr. Sawdust builds a pen. Karen skips across the yard. Olga nibbles on a blade of grass beside Daisy, a black and white guinea pig. Noel swats at Olga from the roof of the hutch.
At the back door of the Sawdust’s house, Karen says, OLGA! DAISY! SNACKS!
Olga sings, MY HEAD IS FULL OF STORIES, OF DERRING-DO AND GLORIES, SO GATHER 'ROUND, AND LISTEN TO ME!
In animations, guinea pigs face a fire-breathing dragon, stand on a podium with first-place medals and look up at a princess locked in a castle.
A crowd cheers, HOORAY!
In live-action, Graham says, AMAZING.
Noel says, RIDICULOUS!
Fangio says, INTERESTING!
Daisy says, OH!

[Birds chirping]

Later in the hutch, Olga lies in a straw hideaway.
Olga narrates, ME MORE THAN MOST. AND THERE WAS A DAY I FOUND OUT JUST HOW SPECIAL WE REALLY WERE.
In the hutch bedroom, Daisy nibbles on blades of grass.
Olga narrates, THE DAY WE WERE SUPER PIGGIES!
In town, people drive down the street. In a live-action flashback, the sun shines brightly on the guinea pig hutch in the Sawdust family's backyard.
Olga narrates, IT WAS A MORNING LIKE ANY OTHER. DAISY WAS SNUGGLED UP IN THE HAY INSIDE AND I WAS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR MY BREAKFAST.
Olga stands by the food bowl in the hutch.
Olga says, HELLO. I'M HUNGRY. HELLO?
She nibbles on a blade of grass.
[Olga squeaking]
At the backdoor, Mr. Sawdust steps outside with a bowl. Mr. Sawdust has short, dark grey hair and a thick, grey beard. He wears a red plaid, button-down shirt over a blue T-shirt.
Mr. Sawdust says, I HEAR YA, OLGA. I'M JUST COMIN' NOW.
He pulls the door closed behind him and walks down the back steps.
[Olga squeaking]
Mr. Sawdust walks across the yard. He opens the hutch and smiles at Olga.
He says, HERE WE GO. A LOVELY VEGGIE BREAKFAST.
Mr. Sawdust puts a handful of dandelion leaves on top of the bowl of pellets.
Olga narrates, WELL, I WAS SURPRISED. KAREN NORMALLY BROUGHT US OUR BREAKFAST, BUT MAYBE SHE WAS GETTING US MORE HAY.
Olga eats a dandelion leaf. Daisy nibbles on a blade of grass.
[Gentle music plays]
In his hutch, Graham lies on a pile of hay with a big leaf of lettuce. At the back door, Mrs. Sawdust steps outside. Mrs. Sawdust has long, light brown hair and wears a beige trench coat over a navy blazer and a pink and green scarf.
Mrs. Sawdust says, THAT'S ME AWAY.
She waves and walks down the back steps.
At the hutch, Mr. Sawdust says, OKAY, SEE YA AFTER SCHOOL.
Olga narrates, AND THAT WAS EVEN STRANGER. MRS. SAWDUST NEVER LEFT FOR SCHOOL WITHOUT KAREN.
[Olga squeaking]
Mr. Sawdust looks at Olga and furrows his brow. Olga nestles into the straw hideaway. Mr. Sawdust scratches his chin.
Mr. Sawdust says, OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE AFTER.
[Mr. Sawdust chuckling]
Mr. Sawdust says, I FORGOT THE LETTUCE. BACK IN A MO'.
He closes and locks the hutch. Olga nibbles on a dandelion leaf in the food bowl.
Olga narrates, SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND OUT WHAT.
Mr. Sawdust walks back to the house.
[Olga squeaking]
From close by, Noel, asks, DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT AWFUL RACKET?
He lies on the small grassy hill in front of the hutch.
Olga says, IT'S KAREN. SHE HASN'T COME OUT TO FEED US OR GONE TO SCHOOL.
Noel says, WELL, MAYBE SHE'S GOT TIRED OF GUINEA PIGS.
Olga grumbles, HMPF! THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
Noel says, YOU NEVER KNOW. SHE MIGHT'VE BECOME A CAT PERSON INSTEAD. LOTS OF SAWDUSTS ARE. THEY TAKE PICTURES OF US AND EVERYTHING.
Olga narrates, I DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT, BUT WHAT IF NOEL WAS RIGHT? WHAT IF I WASN'T KAREN'S FAVOURITE ANY MORE?
Noel leaves the hill.
[Gentle music plays]
On the back fence, a bird flies away from a colourful birdhouse. Mr. Sawdust walks down the back steps and carries a compost bin across the yard. Olga stands against the metal grate wall of the hutch and watches Mr. Sawdust return to the house.
Olga narrates, I'D BEEN WATCHING THE BACK DOOR ALL DAY AND THERE WAS STILL NO SIGN OF KAREN.
In the backyard, Mr. Sawdust sips his coffee. Mrs. Sawdust walks through the back gate.
Mrs. Sawdust says, I'M BACK.
Mr. Sawdust smiles and asks, HOW WAS WORK?
Mrs. Sawdust AH, YOU KNOW. SAME OLD SAME OLD. HOW'S KAREN?
Olga looks up from the food bowl.
She narrates, KAREN?!
Mr. Sawdust says, OH, THIS BUG HAS REALLY GOT TO HER.
Olga narrates, I WAS VERY WORRIED. A BUG HAD GOT KAREN.
Mrs. Sawdust says, I HOPE YOU DON'T CATCH IT.
Olga narrates, I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS. A BUG HAD GOT KAREN AND THE SAWDUSTS DIDN'T WANT TO CATCH IT!
Mr. Sawdust says, NAH, I'M FINE. JUST MAKING HER A POT OF HER FAVOURITE SOUP.
Mrs. Sawdust says, I'LL GO AND SEE HER.
She steps past Mr. Sawdust and walks up the back steps.
Olga narrates, WELL, IT SOUNDED LIKE I WOULD HAVE TO SAVE KAREN MYSELF.
[Gentle, cheerful music plays]
Inside, Mrs. Sawdust walks into the living room.
[Coughing]
Mrs. Sawdust looks worried. On the couch, Karen lies against a pillow under a blanket with a box of tissues. She wears her long brown hair in braided pigtails and a plaid, purple nightgown.
Mrs. Sawdust says, OH, HOW'S MY PATIENT DOIN'?
She sits on the end of the couch and presses the back of her hand to Karen’s forehead.
Karen says, OKAY.
Mrs. Sawdust says, I'LL GO AND GET YOUR QUILT AND GET YOU ALL SNUGGLED UP, AND I'LL BRING YA A NICE GLASS OF JUICE.
Karen sits up and asks, ARE OLGA AND DAISY OKAY?
Mrs. Sawdust says, YEAH, THEY'RE FINE. YOUR DAD'S LOOKIN' AFTER THEM.
Karen nods. She leans back against the pillow and smiles. Mrs. Sawdust stands and Karen grabs a tissue.
[Karen sneezing loudly]
In the backyard, Noel trots past Graham’s hutch.
[Gentle, cheerful music plays]
Fangio wanders across the stone patio.
[Fangio humming]
Graham walks down his hutch ramp.
[Graham singing]
Noel leaps onto the log bench. Fangio climbs up the grassy hill and joins Graham and Noel. Noel flicks his tail.
Fangio says, WE'RE HERE. WE'RE HERE. SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG. GRAHAM IS RATHER SLOW.
Graham says, I WAS GOING AS FAST AS I COULD.
Noel says, NEVER MIND THAT. WHY ARE WE ALL HERE? I'VE A BLANKET TO BE LYING ON.
Olga says, I KNOW WHY KAREN HASN'T BEEN AROUND AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE'S TURNED INTO A CAT PERSON.
[Daisy gasping]
Noel grumbles, HM.
Olga says, IT'S BECAUSE A BUG GOT HER!
Fangio says, EH?
Graham says, A BUG?
Olga says, THAT'S RIGHT, GRAHAM.
[Noel sighing]
Noel says, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN A BUG GET KAREN? IT WOULD HAVE TO BE HUGE.
Olga says, WELL, IT HAS, AND THAT'S NOT ALL. MR. AND MRS. SAWDUST DON'T WANT TO CATCH IT!
Graham says, NO!
Olga says, YES! SO, IT'S UP TO ME TO HELP HER.
Noel asks, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT? THAT IS, IF IT'S EVEN TRUE, OF COURSE.
Olga says, WELL, FUNNILY ENOUGH, I'VE BEEN THINKING AND I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
Noel says, REALLY?
Olga says, YES!
[Intense, exciting music plays]

Daisy gives Olga a thumbs-up. Olga leaps off the hutch and flies through another window into the house. She flies out of the house with Karen and a giant bug in her net.
Olga narrates, ALONG WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS OF COURSE.
[Noel meowing]
The story ends. In the live-action flashback, Daisy lies at the door of the hutch bedroom.
Daisy says, AH, BRILLIANT!
Graham says, AMAZIN'.
Fangio asks, DO YOU THINK IT WOULD WORK?
Olga says, OF COURSE I DO. I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF IT OTHERWISE, AND ALL OF YOU CAN BE A PART OF THE TEAM.
Graham says, I'M GOING TO BE A HERO.
Noel says, ONE SMALL PROBLEM. YOU CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF YOUR HUTCH.
Olga says, WELL, UH, DAISY AND I COULD JUST COORDINATE EVERYTHING FROM OUR HUTCH H.Q.
Near the food bowl, Daisy nibbles on a blade of grass and glances toward Olga.
Olga narrates, BUT, NOEL WAS RIGHT. I'D HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN IF I WAS TO SAVE KAREN, AND QUICK.
Olga leaves the food bowl and walks into the bedroom. Fangio and Noel leave Graham on the hill. Graham slowly starts to walk away.
[Gentle music plays]
On the street, a light wind blows leaves on a tree.
Olga narrates, THE NEXT MORNING, KAREN STILL HADN'T APPEARED, AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT A PLAN B.
Olga and Daisy nibble on blades of grass.
Olga says, MAYBE WE COULD SQUEAK SO LOUDLY, MR. SAWDUST WILL BRING US INTO THE HOUSE.

She stands by the door with Olga.
[Olga and Daisy squeaking loudly]
Mr. Sawdust walks down the back steps with Mrs. Sawdust. Mrs. Sawdust wears a light green long-sleeved shirt.
Mr. Sawdust quietly says, I THINK OLGA AND DAISY MIGHT BE JUST WHAT KAREN NEEDS.
Mrs. Sawdust says, WELL, WE CAN GIVE IT A TRY. IF ANYTHIN', AT LEAST IT'LL CHEER HER UP.
Mr. and Mrs. Sawdust share a look. Mr. Sawdust turns toward the guinea pig hutch.
Mr. Sawdust asks, WHAT DO YOU SAY, YOU TWO? YOU WANNA COME AND HELP KAREN?
[Gentle, cheerful music plays]
Olga narrates, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. MR. SAWDUST WAS LETTING US COME TO THE RESCUE.
Mrs. Sawdust says, I'LL GO AND SEE IF SHE'S AWAKE AND THEN WE CAN BRING OLGA AND DAISY INSIDE.
Mr. Sawdust says, OKAY.
Mrs. Sawdust walks up the steps.
Olga narrates, AND DAISY WAS MY SIDEKICK!
Mr. Sawdust walks into the garden shed. Noel climbs up the grassy hill.
[Birds chirping]
Noel asks, WHAT ARE YOU SO EXCITED ABOUT?
Olga says, WE ARE GOING TO RESCUE KAREN FROM THE BUG.
Noel says, REALLY?
[Noel sighing]
Noel flicks his tail. Mr. Sawdust walks out of the shed with a cardboard box and carries it over to the hutch.
Mr. Sawdust asks, ARE YOU READY, YOU TWO?
Noel grumbles, HM.
He walks away.
Olga narrates, WE CERTAINLY WERE. OPERATION SAVE KAREN WAS A GO!
In the living room, Karen lies on the couch under a white quilt. Mrs. Sawdust walks in with her hands behind her back.
Mrs. Sawdust asks, ARE YOU UP FOR VISITORS?
Karen says, MM. WHO IS IT?
She sits up against her pillow. Mrs. Sawdust steps back and grins. Mr. Sawdust walks in with the cardboard box. Mrs. Sawdust pulls a small pet bed out from behind her back.
Mr. Sawdust says, SOME SUPER PIGGIES HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!
Karen says, OLGA! DAISY! I'VE MISSED YOU!
Mr. Sawdust places the box on the coffee table beside the couch. In the box, Olga and Daisy lie in a pile of hay.
Olga narrates, I WAS VERY PLEASED TO SEE KAREN.
Mrs. Sawdust sits on the couch beside Karen with the pet bed in her lap. Mr. Sawdust lifts Olga out of the box.
Olga narrates, BUT WHERE WAS THE BUG? I COULDN'T SEE IT ANYWHERE.
Mr. Sawdust places Olga on the pet bed, and Karen grins. Karen gently pets Olga.
[Olga quietly squeaking]
Daisy nestles into the hay in the box.
[Daisy quietly squeaking]
Karen says, THEY'RE MAKING ME FEEL BETTER ALREADY.
[Mrs. Sawdust quietly laughing]
Mrs. Sawdust says, I THINK SUPER PIGGY CUDDLES ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO HELP FIGHT THAT BUG.
[Karen sneezing]
Mrs. Sawdust says, OH, THAT'S A NASTY COLD.
Olga narrates, A COLD? THE SAWDUSTS HAVE HAD A COLD BEFORE. A BUG HADN'T GOT KAREN AFTER ALL.
Karen smiles and feeds Olga a blade of grass.
Mr. Sawdust asks, DO YOU FANCY SOME SOUP? IT'S NOT TOO HOT AND IT'S YOUR FAVOURITE. CARROT.
Karen says, OH, YES, PLEASE!
[Mrs. Sawdust quietly laughing]
Mr. Sawdust smiles. He nods and leaves.
Olga narrates, WELL, CARROTS WERE MY FAVOURITE TOO.
[Gentle, cheerful music plays]
In the backyard, Fangio wanders by the raised garden beds.
[Fangio humming]
Noel and Graham lie in the sun on the grassy hill facing the guinea pig hutch.
In the hutch, Olga says, SO, MR. SAWDUST SAID HE NEEDED US SUPER PIGGIES TO HELP FIGHT OFF THE BUG. DAISY IS QUITE TIRED OUT BY THE WHOLE THING.
Daisy lies in the hay inside the hutch bedroom.
[Daisy sighing]
Graham says, YOU'RE AMAZIN', OLGA.
Nearby, in a pile of fallen leaves, Fangio says, VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Olga says, I KNOW!
Noel says, HM. WELL DONE. I SUPPOSE.
[Gentle music plays]
Noel leaves. On a new day, Karen runs up to the hutch wearing purple overalls over a pink long-sleeved shirt with orange polka dots.
Olga narrates, NOW, IF EVER KAREN ISN'T WELL, WE COME TO THE RESCUE.
Karen opens the hutch. She puts two baby carrots beside the food bowl and closes the door.
Karen says, HERE YOU GO, OLGA.
Olga eats a mouthful of grass.

Mrs. Sawdust sits on the couch beside Karen with the pet bed in her lap. Mr. Sawdust lifts Olga out of the box.
Olga narrates, BUT WHERE WAS THE BUG? I COULDN'T SEE IT ANYWHERE.
Mr. Sawdust places Olga on the pet bed, and Karen grins. Karen gently pets Olga.
[Olga quietly squeaking]
Daisy nestles into the hay in the box.
[Daisy quietly squeaking]
Karen says, THEY'RE MAKING ME FEEL BETTER ALREADY.
[Mrs. Sawdust quietly laughing]
Mrs. Sawdust says, I THINK SUPER PIGGY CUDDLES ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO HELP FIGHT THAT BUG.
[Karen sneezing]
Mrs. Sawdust says, OH, THAT'S A NASTY COLD.
Olga narrates, A COLD? THE SAWDUSTS HAVE HAD A COLD BEFORE. A BUG HADN'T GOT KAREN AFTER ALL.
Karen smiles and feeds Olga a blade of grass.
Mr. Sawdust asks, DO YOU FANCY SOME SOUP? IT'S NOT TOO HOT AND IT'S YOUR FAVOURITE. CARROT.
Karen says, OH, YES, PLEASE!
[Mrs. Sawdust quietly laughing]
Mr. Sawdust smiles. He nods and leaves.
Olga narrates, WELL, CARROTS WERE MY FAVOURITE TOO.
[Gentle, cheerful music plays]
In the backyard, Fangio wanders by the raised garden beds.
[Fangio humming]
Noel and Graham lie in the sun on the grassy hill facing the guinea pig hutch.
In the hutch, Olga says, SO, MR. SAWDUST SAID HE NEEDED US SUPER PIGGIES TO HELP FIGHT OFF THE BUG. DAISY IS QUITE TIRED OUT BY THE WHOLE THING.
Daisy lies in the hay inside the hutch bedroom.
[Daisy sighing]
Graham says, YOU'RE AMAZIN', OLGA.
Nearby, in a pile of fallen leaves, Fangio says, VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Olga says, I KNOW!
Noel says, HM. WELL DONE. I SUPPOSE.
[Gentle music plays]
Noel leaves. On a new day, Karen runs up to the hutch wearing purple overalls over a pink long-sleeved shirt with orange polka dots.
Olga narrates, NOW, IF EVER KAREN ISN'T WELL, WE COME TO THE RESCUE.
Karen opens the hutch. She puts two baby carrots beside the food bowl and closes the door.
Karen says, HERE YOU GO, OLGA.
Olga eats a mouthful of grass.
She narrates, SUPER PIGGY CUDDLES ALWAYS SAVE THE DAY!
In the bedroom, Daisy eats a mouthful of grass.
[Playful music plays]
