1. EXT. ANIMAL TOWN - DAy A pristine single snowflake flies over ANIMAL TOWN on a gentle breeze. As it floats through town, we see various town RESIDENTS opening their doors to marvel at a blanket of fresh white snow. MR. PIG shivers at the cold air and heads back indoors. MR. MOOSE takes a deep breath of cold air with a warm smile as he proceeds to shovel his walkway (without a jacket!). The snowflake continues to fly through town, towards... 2. EXT. Olive’s HOUSE - hill and field - continuOUS As the snowflake drifts, it passes a field of snow at the bottom of a mid-sized hill where a group of children are playing <SFX: CHILDREN PLAYING>. S ally Beaver (in earmuffs and mittens) is building an elaborate Snow-Beaver with carrot sticks for teeth. The Goat Twins (wearing only scarves) are pulling each other on a toboggan. JAVIER MOOSE (in just a scarf) is having a playful snowball fight with ROLLIE ARMADILLO (in full winter gear). BODIE HIPPO (in snowsuit, helmet and goggles) is snowboarding down the hill. The snowflake drifts toward OLIVE’S HOUSE, nestled near the hillside... A t Olive’s window, we see ELINOR through the glass, gazing longingly at all the fun outside. The snowflake lands on the window, right where Elinor’s nose is, then a light snow starts to fall. 3. INt. Olive’s house - continuous Elinor <gasp!> What a pretty snowflake! Elinor (in scarf and mittens ) hops with excitement! ELinor (CONT’D) Hurry, Olive! It’s time to play in the SNOW! ARI is waiting nearby (wearing mittens, boots AND HELMET ) holding a shiny NEW saucer sled. ARi Yeah, and I can’t wait to try my new super speedy saucer sled - Whoa. That’s hard to say. Super speedy saucer sled. ARI/ELINOR (laughing) Super speedy saucer sled. Super speedy saucer sled! Olive (o.S.) Okay, I’m ready. There’s no time like snow time! OLIVE <TRUMPETS> with her trunk. ARi/Elinor Alright!/Yay! Ari, Elinor and Olive rush to the front door. OLIVE’S MOM (o.S.) Olive, Sweetie. Aren’t you forgetting something? Just then, Olive’s Mom enters carrying a “ trunkful ” of winter clothes ( She carries them with her trunk.) Olive Aw Mom, it takes forever to put all those winter clothes on. OLIVE’S MOM True, it takes more time, but Sweetie, you know it’s cold outside. Elinor It’s okay, Olive. We’ll wait for you. Right, Ari? Ari is gazing outside, longingly. He snaps back to attention. Ari Huh? Oh, uh... yeah. Sure we will! Olive’s Mom Come now, Olive. I bet if we work together we can get you ready in two shakes of a tail. Ready, set... OLIVE AND Olive’s Mom <TRUMPET with their trunks> Ari <chuckles> enjoying the sound. ArI (chuckling) I love it when they do that. series of JUMP CUTS: (MUSIC NOTE: the music starts out fast and energetic but gets slower and more tedious as Olive gets dressed.) -- Olive’s Mom helps Olive put on her snow pants. -- Then her jacket. -- Ari and Elinor wait. Elinor’s leg keeps twitching. -- Olive’s Mom helps her put on her hat. -- Then her scarf. -- Then her mittens. -- Ari and Elinor are sitting on the floor, still waiting. Ari twiddles his thumbs. -- Olive steps into one boot. Then the other. -- Ari and Elinor are draped over the furniture. Ari is upside down. -- Finally, Olive slides on her trunk-warmer (like a leg-warmer but for her trunk). BACK TO SCENE: Ari and Elinor have nodded off. Ari is SNORING. Olive <Ahem.> Ari and Elinor wake up to see Olive in her WINTER GEAR. It’s bulky and stiff like an inflatable Sumo suit. OLIVE (CONT’D) Sorry I took so long. It’s my winter clothes. There’s kind of a lot of them. Elinor That’s okay, Olive. Ari You’re all ready now! Come on! I have a need for saucer sled speed! Ari and Elinor scamper to the door. They open the door and rush outside. 4. EXT. Olive’s house - CONTINUOUS Elinor and Ari race outside. Elinor/ARi Yay!/Woo! But Olive remains INSIDE, in the doorway. Elinor Olive? What’s wrong? Olive I... I have to go to the bathroom. Elinor and Ari turn to one another - Oh no! Exasperated, Ari collapses to his knees <beat> then falls forward into the snow. 5. EXT. OLIVE’S HOUSE - hill and field - LATER Elinor, Olive, and Ari rush towards the hill. Ari (in HELMET) scampers up the hill with his sled while Olive, moving slowly and awkwardly, trails behind. Elinor tosses a handful of powdery snow into the air. ElINOR (laughs) Oh, this snow is perfect! (shares a look with Olive) Are you thinking what I’m thinking? ElINOR/OLIVE SNOW BIRDS! Olive and Elinor plop down in the snow and start making Snow BIRDS. ELINOR/Olive (CONT’D) <giggling> Both enjoy the snow as they wave their arms and legs. Elinor Ready to look at our Snow Birds, Olive? One, two, three! Elinor pops up to look at her snow bird. Elinor (CONT’D) Oooh. So pretty! How’s yours, Olive? Olive tries to sit up -- but her bulky snowsuit is too heavy. She’s like a turtle on its back. Olive <efforts> Uh... Help? ELINOR <giggle> Olive! <effort> Elinor grunts as she pulls Olive up by her trunk. Olive is forced to use her hands to push herself up. In doing so, she distorts the shape of her Snow Bird. OLIVE (giggles) My Snow Bird looks more like a snow-jellyfish! <sigh> I wish my winter clothes weren’t so big and puffy. ARI (o.S.) Look out below! Elinor and Olive turn to the hill to see Ari zigzagging down THE HILL on his saucer SLED. Ari (CONT’D) Who-oaa! How do you steer this thing?! Ari flies by Elinor and Olive and off screen - THUD. Elinor Ari! REVEAL Ari half buried in a pile of soft snow. He struggles to get out (maybe NOT head first). ARI <efforts> I think I’m stuck. Elinor pulls on Ari’s leg, Olive grabs the other one. They pull him out of the snow. ELINOR/Olive <efforts> Elinor Are you okay? Ari jumps up and flaps his wings to shake off the snow. Ari YEAH. That didn’t go exactly as planned. I’m gonna try it again. Wanna come? I’ll race you to the top of the hill. Ari grabs his sled and races back up the hill. ELINOR Come on, Olive. Let’s go sledding! Elinor practically floats across the snow, her big rabbit feet acting like snowshoes. But one or two steps up the hill and Olive sinks into the deep snow. Olive Wait up, Elinor! I’m <effort> coming! <effort> Whooooaaa... Olive takes a few slow steps then teeters, falls on her back and slides down the hill, forming a Olive-size track in the snow. ELINOR Uh oh. She calls back to her friend downhill. ELINOR: Are you ok , Olive? ON: Olive sits up. OLIVE: Yeah... Olive takes in her predicament, then tries to get up. OLIVE <effort> I wish I didn’t have to wear all these winter clothes - they’re so puffy it’s hard to move. Olive hears some O.S. GIGGLES. She turns to see THE GOAT TWINS (wearing scarves) finishing off a SNOWBEAR (the snowbear has no clothes). OLIVE (CONT’D) Hmmm ... CUT TO: 6. EXT. Olive’s HOuse - hill and Field - Moments later The snowbear is now wearing Olive’s jacket, scarf, hat and mittens. Olive There. Now he looks cozy. Suddenly a snowball splats against Olive’s body. JAVIER Gotcha, Olive! <giggles> JAVIER MOOSE smiles as he makes another snowball. Olive Oh yeah? Well, now it’s my turn, Javier . Snowball fight! Olive chases after Javier moving faster in the snow now, rolling snowballs with her hands and launching them with her trunk. With three appendages working, and no winter clothes to slow her down, she’s like a snowball-tossing machine! Javier gets hit multiple times. Javier Hey! <giggles> Olive bends down to pick up one more snowball, but suddenly feels a shiver. Olive <shivers> As Olive rubs her hands for warmth, Elinor bounds towards her as Ari sleds by uncontrollably in the B.G . Ari (In the background) Wh-Whoa ..! Elinor Hey Olive! Why didn’t you come saucer sledding? Elinor approaches Olive, curious and concerned. ELINOR (CONT’D) Olive? Olive is frozen still, hugging her body with her arms. Shivering. MATCH CUT TO: 7. INT. Olive’s house - day Olive, still shivering, under a cozy blanket Olive Ahh . Th-that’s b-b-better . Elinor gazes out the window. Elinor You got really cold out there, Olive. Olive It’s not fair. How come I have to wear big, puffy winter clothes when I go outside? Elinor Other kids wear them too. Look at Bodie . He’s wearing a full snowsuit. We see Bodie Hippo snowboarding down the hill. Bodie stops right in front of Rollie Armadillo , spraying him with snow. They both laugh, enjoying the snow. Elinor (CONT’D) And so is Rollie. Olive, still in her blanket, joins Elinor by the window. Olive Hmm, but Javier isn't wearing a thick jacket. And neither are Mary or Lizzie . ELinor Hmm... Some of our friends are wearing lots of winter clothes, and some aren’t . That is SO INTERESTING. OLIVE I wonder why that is? Elinor I don’t know... Let’s go back outside and find out. OLIVE Uh, I think I’ll stay inside... She cozies up under her blanket as Elinor goes to the door and pauses before charging outside. ELINOR We need MORE OBSERVATIONS! 8. INT./EXT. OLIVE’S HOUSE - HILL AND FIELD - day MUSIC begins as Elinor bounces through the snowy field, SINGING... ELINOR There’s no time like snow time/ When winter time is here./ Sliding, gliding, snowball fun/ What a time of year. She approaches her friends Bodie Hippo, Javier Moose, and The Goat Twins mid-snowball PLAY . ELINOR (CONT’D) But when the snow has fallen/ And the lake has froze/ Different animals seem to wear/ Different kinds of clothes. Elinor observes Bodie and Rollie closely... ELINOR (CONT’D) Some wear cozy snowsuits/ With scarves and mitts and hats. Elinor observes the Goat Twins and Sally Beaver... ELINOR (CONT’D) Others wear their normal clothes/ Like goats and beavers -- ARI -- And bats! Ahhh ! Ari comes spinning through frame on his saucer sled, out of control. He crashes into a fluffy white pile of snow - again. Elinor helps him out. ELINOR/ARi There’s no time like snow time, when winter time is here. Saucer sledding, so much fun! What a time of year! <laughter> Ari flaps his wings, sending a shower of snow cascading through the frame as we... TRANSITION TO: 9. INT./EXT. Olive’s HOUSE - day Elinor enters. Olive Well? Did you find anything out? Elinor Yes and no. Some of us wear lots of winter clothes and some of us wear hardly any winter clothes at all. OLIVE Let’s make a chart so we can see what’s the same and what’s different. Olive grabs her pencil and notebook . She creates a T chart. On one side there’s an icon of a SNOWSUIT. On the other side is an icon of a T-SHIRT AND SHORTS. Olive (CONT’D) ( to herself) Wearing lots of winter clothes... NOT wearing lots of winter clothes. (to Elinor) Okay. Tell me about what everybody is wearing. Elinor peers out THE WINDOW. As she describes her friends, Olive sketches them. Elinor Let’s see... Bodie and Rollie are wearing full snowsuits. Olive finishes off a sketch of Bodie and Rollie in the SNOWSUIT COLUMN. Olive Got it. Elinor spots Javier Moose playing with Mary and Lizzie . ELinor But Javier , Mary and Lizzie are only wearing scarves over their normal clothes. Olive finishes a sketch of Javier and the goat twins in the T-SHIRT COLUMN. The two of them look at the chart, wondering what it means. Elinor (CONT’D) Hmmm ... At that moment, ARI enters through the front door and shakes off some snow. ARI Phew! This saucer sled is awesome! But kinda hard to control. Hey, what are you guys doing? ELINOR We’re trying to figure out why Hazel got so cold. Olive Yeah, some of us need lots of winter clothes, and some of us don’t! Ari takes a peek at Olive’s notepad . ARI Ahh ... well , you can put me in the not-so-many winter clothes category: I like to let my fur fly free! ELINOR But we still don’t know why -- wait. Fur! Ari, you have fur. ARI You bet I do! Ari proudly offers his arm and Elinor gets up close and personal for a SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Ari’s fur. ELINOR And I have fur too! SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Elinor’s fur. Elinor (CONT’D) And I don’t need winter clothes to stay warm in the snow. Olive But I do! And I don’t have fur. Look! SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Olive’s arm. There are tiny hairs, but no fur. ELINOR That’s it! (checks the chart) Our friends that don’t have fur need winter clothes to stay warm. Like Bodie and Rollie -- Olive -- And me! But our friends that do have fur don’t need a lot of winter clothes. ELinor Having fur helps keep you warm. It’s like having your own built-in snowsuit! Elinor and Ari look at their fur. OlivE That’s it! We figured it out! Elinor YES! Olive and Elinor hug in celebration. Then... Olive I wish I had fur like you guys, so I didn’t have to wear all those wintery clothes. ARI Well, I wish I had a trunk like you, so I could do that thing that you and your Mom do. OLIVE You mean this? <TRUMPETS> ARI <laughs> Yeah. I love that. OLIVE I guess we’re all just different, and since I don’t have fur... Olive smiles, then grabs her winter gear. Olive (CONT’D) What are we waiting for? Let’s get outside before the snow melts! Elinor/Ari/olive Yay!/Wahoo!/<TRUMPETS> 10. Ext. Olive’s house - field and hill - Day Back outside, Ari, Elinor and Olive are standing at the top of the hill with Ari’s saucer sled. Olive is wearing her full winter gear again. EliNOR Nice and warm, Olive? OLIVE Yeah! Ari Are you guys sure? I still don’t know how to steer this thing. Olive You don’t have to. Follow me! Olive lies down in the snow, like she did when she fell, and slides down the hill on her back. Her winter clothes keep her warm as she carves a perfect bobsled path down the hill. Olive (CONT’D) Yahooo! At the bottom, Olive struggles a little to get to her feet. Olive (CONT’D) See! My snow clothes keep me warm AND they make a path in the snow! <effort> Come on you guys! There’s no time like snow time! Ari and Elinor exchange a look. Then... ARI/ELINOR Super speedy saucer sled. Super speedy saucer sled. Super speedy saucer sled! Ari and Elinor saucer sled down in Olive’s path. Elinor/ari Yay!/Wahoo! I love SNOW! Segment 2 1. INT SCHOOL ROOM -- DAY We open to Ms. Mole walking into the classroom after recess, wearing a big white fluffy white coat. MS. Mole Brrrr ! It’s so cold today! Let’s warm up with a nice cup of hot cocoa and a story! We see a group of kids gather on the carpet around Ms. Mole. Elinor is near the front. Ms. Mole takes out a book from her coat. ELINOR / OLIVE /ARI Yay! / I love story time! / Oh yeah! ELINOR What’s today’s story, Ms. Mole? MS. MOLE Today’s story is all about staying warm! But our story starts in a very cold place… Ms. Mole opens the book, which reveals an icy, polar environment. 2. EXT POLAR -- DAY An icy scene, with piles of snow and some water visible. MS. MOLE Way up in the north, it’s verrrrry cold, only a few animals can stay warm. We see a polar bear enter. MS. MOLE (CONT’D) The polar bear has a very thick coat of fur to stay warm! The polar bear preens a bit, looks proud of itself. OLIVE Hey! One of my friends is a polar bear! When she visits, she doesn’t even wear a jacket outside! MS. MOLE That’s right! We see the polar bear playing in the snow. MS. MOLE (CONT’D) Polar bears have thick coats of fur on their skin that let them stay warm on the ice. We see the polar bear jump into the water. MS. MOLE (CONT’D) Or even when they swim in the freezing waters! ELINOR Ms Mole, why are polar bears always white? The polar bear floats on its back, relaxing, like it’s a sunny day at the pool. It’s playing with its polar bear cubs. Ms. MOLE Good question! Polar bears have white fur so they can hide in the snow! It’s CAMOUFLAGE! The polar bear doesn’t react. Ms. MOLE (CONT’D) I SAID: so they can hide in the snow! The polar bear scrambles back onto the ice, hides in the snow. ELINOR You can hardly see him! OLIVE/ARI Oooh !/Wow! MS. MOLE But that’s not even the most amazing thing about polar bears! The polar bear looks interested, pokes his own fur. MS. MOLE (CONT’D) Do you know what color a polar bear’s skin is underneath all that fur? ARI / ELINOR /OLIVE Is it white too? / I’m pink under my fur. / My skin is grey! MS. MOLE If you look closely, a polar bear’s skin is actually black underneath the fur! The polar bear looks surprised. He uses a paw to push some hair out of the way, we see his skin is black. He looks surprised and impressed with himself. Ms. MOLE (CONT’D) The thick white fur keeps them cozy in the snow, and the black skin underneath helps them soak up the warm light from the sun. 3. INT SCHOOLROOM -- DAY Ms. Mole closes the book. She is now wearing a polar bear hoodie over her head in addition to her furry coat. MS. MOLE It’s a good thing polar bears have such special fur and skin! You won’t find a mole like me swimming in freezing water! She tries to take a sip of tea, but the mask is blocking her. End.

ELINOR wonders why EP 103A T he Science of Staying Warm By: Miklos Perlus Elinor’s Question: Why do some animals get cold in winter while others stay warm. Logline: Elinor wants to play outside in the snow with Olive and Ari, but Olive’s heavy winter clothes keep getting in the way of their fun so she’d rather not wear it at all. Curriculum Goals: SEP6 . Constructing Explanations. Look for and describe patterns and relationships in natural phenomena. (Elinor and her friends look for a pattern in which animals need winter clothes and which ones don't.) LS2 . Understand that animals have different body parts that are used in different ways to meet their needs and that plants have different parts that help them survive and grow. (Elinor comes to understand that some animals have fur, and that fur keeps them warm.) ND1 . ( RTL Crosscutting concept ‘Patterns’) Understand that modes of life in the natural world and engineered solutions in the designed world have common patterns, and engineers often look to natural patterns for inspiration. (Elinor understands that winter clothes fulfill the same function as fur, keeping animals war in winter.) Main Characters: Elinor, Olive, Ari. Secondary Characters: Olive’s Mom, Javier Moose Incidental Characters: Sally, Rollie , Goat Twins, Bodie (NEW) Settings: Animal Town, Olive’s House, Snowy hill and field, Props: Saucer Sled, snow bear, winter clothes, snow balls, snowboard, OUTLINE: Dec-5-2018 FIRST DRAFT: Dec-18-2018 SECOND DRAFT: Jan-14-2019 POLISH: Feb-5-2019 RECORD DRAFT: Feb-7-2019 Ari ARI/ELINOR ARi/Elinor/Olive Elinor Elinor/ARi ELINOR/Olive Elinro Elknor Hazel’s HAZEL’S MOM Olive Olive I’m ready!
