"The mechanics all work better, and the pacing feels better too. Fun dialogue and moments and writing. A few overall tweaks:
- Let's introduce the Team Notebook and integrate it with the thought bubbles.
- Let's have Ari stand on top of a tree trunk instead of hovering during the experiment.
- Let's take out the parachuting tomato mascot, and instead have the kids design it on the notebook.
- Spots of dialogue here and there seemed a little upper age range.

This has come together really nicely - good changes were made from 2st draft

solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs"""
ESTABLISHING. It’s a late summer day in Animal Town, and Farmer Bear is hosting a small ‘Tomato Festival’ to mark the end of the tomato harvest. Her farm is decorated for the occasion. TOWNSPEOPLE circulate, and festive <MUSIC> plays OS.
In
A FEW
QUICK CUTS we establish
the
theme...
- FOOD TABLE - MRS. GORILLA
dumps tomatoes into her giant
stewpot
and attacks them with a masher, to make sauce.
-
RING TOSS - SALLY
BEAVER
throws small hoops, trying to land one around the ‘target’ tomato. Finally, she rings it!

Beautiful! First place!
ELINOR, ARI and

Tomato food, tomato games -
Add names and change "accessories" to 'clothes': "- and tomato clothes, Elinor and Ari! See how my scarf is red like a tomato?"
OLIVE
- and tomato accessories! See how my scarf is red like a tomato?
Olive playfully ‘fluffs’ one end of her red scarf so that it falls slowly through the air.
Just then,
Farmer Bear cups her hands and bellows
:
I think we can save ourselves a speaking part. Change the description below this line to: "Elinor waves over to her mom, Ranger Rabbit."
FARMER BEAR (

I suggested Farmer Bear uses a triangle instead of an air-horn when the competition is about to start (top of pg3)- perhaps she uses the traingle here as well to get everyone's attention

LAMBS /SALLY
(excited walla)
There is a LADDER in the middle of a dirt patch, and near it, a basket of RIPE TOMATOES.
FARMER BEAR <WHISTLES> for attention, and the group quiets.
Add "Safely" in case some kids don't know what splattering is: "…top of this ladder safely without splattering it, will …"
Farmer BEAR
Welcome to the

The first
two

prize.
Elinor,

and Ari exchange excited looks.
ElINOR
Oooh, a PRIZE!
Farmer Bear
indicates the basket of tomatoes.
FARMER BEAR
Each team gets three tomatoes, and you can build anything you like, to try to keep them from splattering.
Did everyone bring supplies?
The gathered kids all hold up their bulging backpacks.
maybe instead of an air-horn she uses a triangle - Old farm houses would have them to call kids in for dinner

Okay. I’ve got a great plan! We take two slices of bread...
Ari gets TWO SLICES OF BREAD from his pack and hurriedly tries to tie them around a tomato, with TWINE.
Add to this line: "…cushion it when it drops! It's a sandwich AND a cushion!"
ARI (V.O.)
...and tie ‘em around the tomato to cushion it when it drops!
CU ON: The bread rips and crumbles..
eLINOR
Bread might be too crumbly, Ari.
ARI
Eh, you’re right.
(brightens)
How ‘bout a
donut
?
Undaunted, he pulls out a
DONUT.
OLIVE
(diplomatic)
Let’s call that Plan B.
ELINOR
I have an idea, too...
Elinor pulls a few items from her own pack. SPRINGS, TAPE, and a SMALL CARDBOARD BOX.
Add a word in case some kids don't know what a spring is: "What if we take these squishy springs I brought…"
ELINOR (CONT’D)
What if we take these springs I brought...
Elinor holds the end of a spring to the outside of the box, and squeezes the spring for emphasis.
In the description below this line, change to: "As Elinor describes her idea, Olive quickly sketches it on the notebook, nodding as she draws."
EliNOR (CONT’D)
...and tape them to the
out
side of this box. Then we can put the tomato
in
side...
THOUGHT BUBBLE: Shows Elinor’s idea.
Olive
nods, catching her drift.
In the description below this line, change to: "Olive holds out the drawing. Around the sketch, a THOUGHT BUBBLE forms and the sketch inside animates: The box bounces a few times and then the tomato pops out, intact. The bubble bursts, leaving the original sketch on paper.
OLIVE
"trying to visual picture this experiment - after 24, it reads that the tomato pops out perfectly - yet we later see that she closes the box and tapes it shut.
Are we cheating the visual in the thought bubble to have the top of the box pop open to have the tomato roll out "
Oh! So when we drop the tomato, it’ll
bounce
instead of

IN THE THOUGHT BUBBLE: The box bounces a few times and then tomato pops out, perfect, then the bubble bursts.

4. EXT. DROP LADDER - MINUTES LATER
The box is now bristling with springs. Elinor places the tomato into the box, and tapes it shut.
eLINOR (calls)
Farmer Bear? We’re ready to try a drop!
Farmer Bear heads over with a clipboard to watch the test. Elinor climbs the ladder with their spring-covered box.
FARMER BEAR
That’s one springy box! Ready when you are.
With
Olive
and Ari watching anxiously, Elinor dangles the box from the top of the ladder - then releases it. Sure enough, when it hits the ground it <BOUNCES... and BOUNCES... and BOUNCES> around! Ari and
Olive
scramble to catch it.
OLIVE
Whoa. <BOING> Hey! <BOING> Come back here!
Finally, Ari seizes it.
ari
<BOING> Gotcha!
Farmer Bear and the girls hurry over.
FARMER BEAR
Let’s see what’cha got!
CLOSE ON the box as Ari opens it. REVEAL... a box full of splattered tomato.
Call it "goop" instead of "sauce"
ELINOR
(huff) Tomato sauce. I think it bounced around too much.
Farmer Bear smiles sympathetically.
FARMER BEAR
Well, don’t give up. You still have two more tomatoes!
Lamb #1 (part os)
Farmer Bear? We’re ready to try!
CUT TO: One of the
THREE
LAMBS is holding a HUGE BALL OF WOOL.
Add who they are talking about: "Oh look, the lamb sisters are using their wool to keep the tomato from squishing!"
OLIVE (PART OS)
Oh look, they’re using their
wool
to
keep the tomato from
squishing
!
Farmer Bear
writes on her clipboard, while one of the lambs climbs the ladder.
Lamb #1
Stand baa-a-a-ack!
The wool is dropped - it <FLOOFS> down gently. Lamb #2 reaches into the wool-ball, and pulls out - an intact tomato!
LamBs / SALLY / OLIVE / ari / elinor
(cheers)
Change to: "Nicely done! Our first winners! We'll give the prizes at the end."
FARMER BEAR
seems a bit out of place for her to mantion handing prizes at the end - perhaps she mentions that earlier ie. line 10
Nicely done! Our first winners!
We’ll do prizes at the end.
BACK ON Elinor,
Olive
and Ari, watching.
OLIVE
Now there’s only one prize left.
Add a parenthesis to this line: "(futilely plucking his fur)"
ARI
If only we had some wool!
ELINOR
We don’t have to do
exactly
the same thing. There must be more than
one
way to drop a tomato.
Just then, the <BREEZE> picks up, disturbing
some dandelions growing nearby,
which have gone to seed...
SCIENCE CU: Elinor notices the fluff floating by.
Love that she points out more than one way to solve the problem.
ELINOR (CONT’D)
Ohhh!
Elinor captures it in her hands, and holds it up.
In the description below this line, change to: "Olive catches on and draws on the notebook: a tomato with dandelion fluff gathered around it. "
ELINOR (CONT’D)
Dandelion fluff is nice and soft, just like the wool!(
gasp
) What if we use THIS to cushion the tomato?
THOUGHT BUBBLE:
We see Elinor’s
plan, a tomato with dandelion fluff
gathered around
it.
In the description below this line, change to: "She adds more fluff. A THOUGHT BUBBLE forms around the sketch: The dandelion fluff ball drops, lands safely, and out pops an intact tomato."
OLIVE
O
kay! But we’ll need a lot of it.
In the THOUGHT BUBBLE: The dandelion fluff ball grows and grows until the bubble BURSTS!
"They all get busy gathering fluff from the dandelions all
around them.' - are we ok with them pulling the dandelion fluff off the dandelions? "
I think it is fine to pull dandelion fluff...some folks might get mad at their kids for doing it because it spreads more seeds but pulling seeds doesn't hurt the plant...they are just hurrying up the inevitable process.
ARI
Then we’d better get fluffin’!
They all get busy gathering fluff from the dandelions all around them. As ‘fluff’ fills the frame, we
‘fluff’ wipe to:
5. EXT. SAME LOCATION - MINUTES LATER
Elinor holds a PUFF OF DANDELION FLUFF (which keeps trying to blow away) as
Olive
tucks the tomato inside it.
Elinor
Oh, the fluff is getting away!
OLIVE
Nothing a little tape can’t fix.
Olive
<SQUICKS> out
more
than a little TAPE and rapidly wraps it around the tomato to secure the fluffy padding.
ELINOR
All done!
ANGLE ON: The real tomato is much more sparsely covered than the tomato in the thought bubble.
correction - after line 49 - noted as 'he' but should be 'she'
ARI
Farmer Bear! Can we try again?
CUT TO Farmer Bear, as he overhears and heads over. This time Ari climbs the ladder, full of optimism.
ARI (CONT’D)
This time we’ve got the right stuff
!
Or should I say, the right
fluff?
Elinor laughs, but Olive shakes her head at his groaner joke.
Elinor / OLIVE

Ari drops the fluff-covered tomato from the top of the ladder. But to their dismay - <SPLAT!>
eLINOR
Aww! It
smooshed
again!
I guess we didn’t use enough fluff.
Farmer Bear gives them an upbeat smile.

FARMER BEAR
(encouraging)
See, you learn something, even when they do
‘smoosh.’
Keep trying!
Farmer Bear

Ari looks down at his friends, worried.
ARI
Keep trying, sure - but we only have one tomato left!
Elinor
picks up their last tomato, nodding.
Can Elinor say something more encouraging. If they learned each time then none of the time was wasted. Maybe she could invite them to look around what else could they use ...what creative ideas could they pull up?
elinor
So we can’t waste it. We’ll have to plan this
really
well...
Ari flies back down to join them. As he lands, a gust of air from his wings causes a fallen OAK LEAF to blow into the air. Elinor watches as the leaf
falls slowly
to the ground, right in front of her.
ELINOR
(intrigued)
(CONT’D)
Whoa! Look at that leaf!
OLIVE
What about it?
Elinor picks it up, to examine it.
58 -62 - a nice progression of their thought process
ELINOR
It fell really slowly!
(she holds it up again)
Look, I’ll show you.
Elinor
holds the leaf up high, then releases it again, so her friends can
watch how it falls.
SCIENCE
C.U
. ON the leaf. As it falls slowly through the air, the lobes of the leaf flutter. (In animation, we see little wiggly ‘air lines’ catch on the bottom of the leaf.)
OLIVE
That IS slow.
Elinor picks up the leaf again. She holds their last tomato in one hand, the leaf in the other.
I like this clear thinking 60-61
ELINOR
A leaf falls
slowly
, but a tomato falls
fast.
That’s SOO interesting!
ari
Too bad it isn’t the other way around. If our
tomato
fell slowly, maybe
it wouldn’t
splat
.
Elinor turns to her friends, eyes bright with an idea.
Capitalize and add exclamation point to: "MORE OBSERVATIONS!"
ELINOR
Yes! I wonder if there’s a way to help our tomato fall slowly too?
(beat, determined)
We need more observations.
As she rallies her friends OS, we TRANSITION TO:
6. EXT. PARK - A ‘SONG MOMENT’
Elinor leads her friends in a spontaneous song about things that ‘
fall slowly
’ as they explore the immediate area, collecting
various
items to test.
ELINOR /
OLIVE
/ ARI (sing)
Look high, look low,
For things that might fall slow
So we can figure out a way
to
save our tomato
Olive frowns at hearing the accent on the wrong
syl-LA-ble
.
we should have lines 64 and 65 recorded within the song (all one piece)
OLIVE (spoken)
Tuh-may-
TOE
?
ARI (spoken)
Just go with it, Olive.
ELINOR / olive / ari (sing)
We’ll hold ‘em up
then
let ‘em go
Until we try
We’ll never know
Look high and low
For things that might fall slow
So we can figure out a way
to
save our tomato
By the end of the song, they have
collect
ed
a PINECONE, a
STRAY PIECE OF PAPER (from the coloring contest)
a
nd a TWIG
.
7. EXT. TOMATO DROP AREA - CONTINUOUS
They hurry back to the
ir working spot
with the
ir
item
s
.
ELINOR
We found some great things! Now let’s see
how
they
fall.
Olive can say "the leaf goes here. In the slow pile" since they already tried that one and it helps to give the first example
OLIVE
I’ll put them in two piles - either ‘fell fast’ or ‘fell slow.’
(She gestures to two spots on the ground.)
In the description below this line, change to: "Elinor hands Ari the pinecone, and he stands atop a nearby tree trunk. He holds out the pinecone - drops it - and it plummets quickly to the ground. "
ELINOR
Okay! First, the pinecone...
Elinor hands
Ari
the pinecone
, and he flies upward. (He hovers just overhead, for every test.) Ari holds out the pinecone -
drops it -
and
it plummets quickly
to the ground
.
ELINOR /
OLIVE
/ ari (unison)
Fast!
Olive
puts the pinecone
in the spot for the ‘fast’ pile.
ELINOR
Next, the paper...
Elinor bunny-jumps upward with the PAPER, to hand it to Ari. He holds it out horizontally, then releases it -
SCIENCE
C.U
. -As the paper falls through the air, the edges flutter. We see ‘air squiggles’ under it, slowing it down.
correction - I assume this should read that Olive puts the paper in the 'slow' area - not 'leaf' since they just completed0 the paper test
ELINOR /
OLIVE
/ ARI (os)
Slowww!
Olive puts the
leaf
in the area for the ‘slow’ pile.
in a few episodes, we've established that Ari cant fly for long periods of time - we may have him land at somepoint - maybe after the second example and Elinor can hand him the twig here and he once again flies up to then drop it
ELINOR
Now let’s try the twig.
Elinor hops upward again, to hand
Ari the twig
. He drops this - it
plummets quickly. <THUMP!>
ELINOR /
OLIVE
/ ARI
Fast!
Olive scoops up the twig to put it with the pinecone, and as she bends, her scarf dangles. This gives her an idea! She unties her scarf...
Is there a way here to encourage the audience to predict...or to model the characters thinking about what might happen and why.
OLIVE
Let’s drop my scarf, too!
She hands this to Elinor, who jumps it up to Ari. He holds her scarf out horizontally, then releases it.
SCIENCE
C.U
. - the scarf drops
very
slowly, billowing as it ‘catches air’ on the way down. (With air squiggles under it.)
OLIVE / ari (os)
S
low
ww
!
In the description below this line, change "flies back down" to "jumps back down"
ELINOR
suggest this Line can be (o.s) replacing line 76 so the audience sees the 'squiggles under the scarf' as she explains it
Very
slow! It looks like it’s ‘catching the air’ as it falls.
Olive puts the scarf in
the ‘slow’ pile.
Ari flies back down to join them as they look at the results of their tests.
HOLD ON the side-by-side fast and slow piles.
as I noted above - we can add the leaf to the slow as well since thats what sparked them to experiment - therefore three fell slowly
Ari
So we
have
two things that f
e
ll
quickly
the pine cone and the twig - and two that fell
slowly.
The leaf, paper and my scarf which was the slowest of all!
OLIVE
The paper and my scarf which was the slowest of all!
BACK TO WIDE, as Elinor picks up Olive’s silky scarf in one hand, and their last tomato in the other.
the word "attached" feels a little older, try "taped"
elinor (thoughtful)
I wonder what would happen if we attached your slow-falling
scarf
to our
tomato
.
Change this line to: "Maybe the tomato would fall more slowly too?"
Olive
Maybe the tomato would fall more slowly too? But
how
can we -
But Olive is interrupted by an OS
<SFX:
CROWD MURMUR OF SURPRISE AND DELIGHT>
CUT TO the SMALL CROWD of spectators. (Including Ranger Rabbit.) They’re pointing and reacting upwards -
"Let's delete the Mr. Tomato parachute, and instead have the kids design the parachute on their notebook.
Delete after line 81 through to line 86, and replace with:
OLIVE
Maybe the tomato would fall more slowly too?
The kids bring out the notebook. Elinor holds out the scarf horizontally.
ELINOR
Ok, the scarf fell slowly flat, so we should try to tape it to the tomato that way.
Olive sketches her scarf laying flat on the upper half of the page. Then she sketches a tomato on the bottom half.
ELINOR (CONT’D)
What if we used string to hold the tomato and scarf together?
Elinor uses a different color crayon to draw lines between the scarf’s corners and the tomato.
OLIVE
We can tie one end to the scarf, and tape the other side to the tomato!
ARI
Yes! Let’s try it! I’ll get the string...
Ari dives into his backpack and tosses them a roll of twine."

OLIVE
So,
we’d better hurry! Think fast, guys. How do we put these together?
But Elinor is still watching ‘Mr. Tomato’ as he lands gently in the tomato patch. His chute and ropes settle behind him.
eLINOR
(inspired)
I’ve got it! Olive, we can use your scarf as a parachute!
Change this line to: "Yes! Let’s try it! I’ll get the string…"
ARI
Yes!! I’ve got string...
Ari dives into his backpack and tosses them a roll of twine.
At lightning speed,

Now we just tape the strings to -
But when
Olive
grabs the tape, all that’s left is a nub.
OLIVE
(CONT’D)
Oh, no. We’re out of tape!
What do we use?
Elinor holds the loose strings of her parachute, stumped. Suddenly, Ari brightens. He digs out his

ELINOR WONDERS WHY
EP
. #110 “The Tomato Drop”
By: Karen
Moonah
Elinor's Question:
How do you make a tomato fall more slowly
?
Logline:
When Elinor and friends enter a 'tomato drop' contest, they design a solution (a parachute) to help a tomato fall more slowly so that it doesn't splatter.
ES1
.
Understand that the Earth is made up of a variety of natural materials. a. Explore and describe the characteristics of earth materials such as sand, rocks, soil, water, and air.
ND3
.
(
RTL
Crosscutting concept ‘Structure and Function’): Understand that structures and materials in the natural world can be used or can inspire the engineering of structures with similar function in the designed world. Elinor and her friends will design a tomato parachute to help the tomato fall slowly, as the leaf does)
SEP
1.
Defining problems (engineering) d.) Identify a problem (how to drop a tomato without damaging it) that can be solved by the design of a new or improved object or tool.
SEP
3.
Planning and carrying out investigations. e.) Design and build a solution to a simple problem. (
engineering
) (Elinor designs a parachute)
SEP
6.
Designing solutions (engineering) d.) Use evidence to support a (theory or) solution to a problem. (Elinor observes the scarf falls slowly and surmises it might help the tomato also fall slowly)
