The Alphabet Zoo Game/Transcript (Part 1)

## Going To The Alphabet Zoo

*(Fade from black as we pan to the hotel, we zoom to the front door.)*

**Yumi:** *(offscreen)* Okay, let's get in the van. Who's ready to go?

**Dora:** I think I have Boots!

**Diego:** I can't find my guitar!

**Benny:** Can I bring my jaguar?

**Ono:** We're going to the zoo!

*(Our friends complain while Nala gets prepared; then they line up.)*

**George's friends:** We're ready! *(The viewer takes his friends to the zoo using the van)*

*(Suddenly, we see Zazu and Señor Tucán following the van.)*

**Simba:** Here we are, at the Zoo!

*(Our friends come out of the van.)*

**Nala:** Everyone ready to help out with your viewer's big zoo video?

**Benny:** Yeah!

**Boots:** Fortunately, we have the most talented zoo animals in the whole world.

**Dora:** What makes them so special, Boots?

**Isa:** Well, Dora and Boots, our letters are the only letters in the world that can speak.

(The pigeons appear perching in the entrance.)

**Isa:** And they know exactly what to say. That's important, Dora, because when letters make sounds, they work together to make words. Here we go.

(The peacock appears display feathers transitioning to the next scene.)

## The Alphabet Zoo Video Setup

*(Our friends are then inside the zoo.)*

**Zazu:** Now I know you might be asking yourself, what do we do with all these zoo animals from A to Z? *(they come to a photo booth)* Just push this button and you'll see. *(Diego does so and a PC screen turns on to show a book titles Wildlife Alphabet Book)* Oh, the Wildlife Alphabet Book, which contains every kind of animal from Aardvark to Zebra of the animal alphabet. And this is the book's publisher, YOU!

**Señor Tucán:** El Libro del Alfabeto de Vida Silvestre está repleto de todos los animales del zoológico del alfabeto. (The Wildlife Alphabet Book is filled with all the zoo animals of the alphabet.)

**Zazu:** But now we need to convince you to make a new wildlife alphabet book. Do you know what you need for that book? That's right! Animal noises! Press the animal and you'll listen to its sound.

(The viewer presses the hyena and you'll hear a hyena sound, then the viewer presses the lion with a lion's roar, and then the viewer presses a sea lion with the sea lion's barking.)

**Zazu:** Yes. You're getting a special tour, and then you're going to make our own video. You are one of the most important animal users in the world!

**Boots:** And now, I'd like to introduce the big mandrill who will be leading this zoo tour...Rafiki!

**Rafiki:** *(He comes driving a car.)* Yes. We're proud that we make the best letters in the world.

**Timon:** *(stutters)* I wanna help. What can I do? *(He stands up, but falls and knocks over some paint, except the yellow paint.)* Whoaaaa! Oooh! Oops, sorry. I'll clean it up.

*(Pretty soon, you arrive at the zoo.)*

**Owl (Little Bear):** Well, where is everybody? I'd be very excited if I have to wait for anything.

**Rafiki:** Welcome to our Alphabet Zoo, Little Bear and friends, where we have our animals from all around the world! Please, hop aboard for your special tour.

**Owl (Little Bear):** *(Soon, he hops on the car)* This better be good. Anteater to Zebra. I'll believe it when I hear it.

**Simba:** Dora, Boots, and Julie, if you two could keep an eye on the viewer, that would be great.

**Boots:** *(loudly through microphone as the rest close their eyes and making their angry expressions)* Okaaaaaaaaay!

**Rafiki:** How dare you shout very loudly!

## The Tour of A-Z Animals

**Rafiki:** *(as he tours the second viewer and Rafiki around the zoo)* Here at the Alphabet Zoo, we have worldwide animals than anywhere else in the world. Why? Because we see our animals in our zoo absolutely perfect every time.

**Boots:** *(on the photobooth he is carrying the animal pictures: Elephant, Flamingo, Gorilla, and Hyena)* Hey, I found some animal pictures: Elephant, Flamingo, Gorilla, whoa, and Hyena that we can use to decorate the video setting.

**Zazu:** I was thinking I could play this song: all the zoo animals from A to Z.

**Bunga:** *(rides on the ostrich)* Maybe I could do a dance with this ostrich. *Zuka Zamaaaaaa! (He carelessly bumps into Boots, Dora, Julie, and Zazu, startling them and the animal pictures fall down to the ground.)*

**Dora:** *(as the animal pictures touch the ground and to the viewer)* How many letters are there in the alphabet?

**Boots:** (to the viewer) That's right. They're twenty-six letters. But maybe you're too little to remember all of them. Why don't you just sit and watch?

**Diego:** (as the viewer) Too smart, just watch, get lost.

*(Diego leaves the video setting.)*

**Boots:** No, Diego. Uh, I didn't mean it like that.

**Julie:** Boots, we need to practice so the video will be perfect.

**Boots:** Right, Julie. I'll talk to Diego and you (the viewer) later.

**Diego:** *(walks away from Dora, Boots, Bunga, and Zazu)* If I knew my zoo animals I could help.
