[We see footage of the Aurora Australis, with starting with the red light and then a bluish green light, we then see footage of Antarctica at night with the camera panning right, we hear a narrator talking about it]

Narrator: On the southern end of Earth, lies an enormous snowy area, it is called, Antarctica, the snowy landscape known for it's endless nights, fierce snowstorms, and the amazing Aurora Australis.

[Scene fades to a picture of Lolo]

[The scene fades to Antarctica in the daytime, and the scene is also panning to the right]

Narrator: During the winter, the Adelie penguins stay far away at the North Sea.

[The scene cuts to the Adelie Penguins swimming in the water to the icy land]

Narrator: But when springtime comes to the Antarctic, they return home.

[Scene cuts to the penguins jumping out of the water onto the ice, it then cuts to the penguins landing on the ice, most of them land on their feet, one slides onto the ice on it's belly, while one lands on it's back, it then cuts to more footage of them jumping out of the water, it then cuts to the penguins marching to the nesting grounds]

Narrator: The father penguins are the first to return to their nesting grounds.

[We get 5 more seconds of them marching, then it cuts to them making their nests]

Narrator: Here, they prepare their nests, lay their eggs, and raise their children.

[The camera zooms in on a Purple penguin waddling with some rocks in his hands, he then falls dropping his rocks, as 3 penguins come over one by one and take his rocks]

Purple Penguin: HEY! COME BACK HERE!!

[The scene cuts to Toto, the penguin leader and Lolo's father, who waddles up to his nest carrying a rock, he then puts down his rock and knocks away a rock that was on the right of his nest, he then puts the rock he was carrying in the former rock's place, and then takes another rock and puts on top of the same rock]

[The scene cuts to a teal colored penguin putting a rock on his nest, then the purple penguin from before comes up and takes a rock that he was standing on, which causes the rocks to slide and the penguin standing on them to fall on his back]

[The scene then cuts to 2 penguins doing a tug of war with a rock in their mouths, the penguin on the right gets it, and then swallows it much to the penguin on the left's surprise, the penguin on the right then hiccups twice]

[We then cut back to the teal penguin, wiping his hands, the purple penguin then tries to get some rocks, but the penguin just glares at him, then the purple penguin jumps offscreen]

[The scene cuts to the mother penguins waddling up the hill]

Narrator: And here are the mother penguins

Lala:..Toto!

[The scene then cuts to Toto as Lala then comes up and they hug each other]

Toto: At last you're here Lala!

[They then let go and Lala looks at the nest while slowly waddling]

Lala: What a nice nest you've made.

[Toto chuckles a bit, then puts his flipper behind Lala]

Toto: Well I hope this year we will have children.

[The scene fades to the night as the penguins are nuzzled together on their nests, the scene then fades out]

Lala: It's exciting isn't it?

[Toto nods]

Lala: Well, I'll be off now.

[Toto waves to her]

Toto: See you!

[She starts to waddle off but then turns around]

Lala: I can trust you with the eggs right?

Toto: Of course you can, I'll be a good father.

[She then looks up and then it cuts to a bunch of Skuas, after a few seconds it cuts back to her]

Lala: Be careful, the skuas are larking about again.

Narrator: While the mother penguins are away, the father penguins watch over the eggs.

[The scene cuts to the father penguins laying down on the nests]

Toto: I just hope no storms come through. Then that would be trouble

[The scene cuts to a far shot of the nesting area, it then fades to night when a blizzard occurs, the scene cuts to the penguins as the wind pushes them as they all try to keep themselves in the same location]

Toto: Oh my god!

[The penguins then get buried in the snow, the scene the cuts to the ice hill next to the nesting area, where it then fades to morning, it then cuts to Toto who gets out of the his snowy cast, he then stands up and wipes some snow off his flipper, he then notices that he has some snow on his head and tries to thwack it off, but it lands on his nose, and then he wipes it off, he then notices Gugu, a teal colored penguin who's getting the snow off himself]

Toto: Hey Gugu, how's the weather?

Gugu: It's not bad, not even close to last year's storm!

[They then start laughing, then it cuts to Popo, a purple colored penguin]

Popo: Nevermind that, I need to warm up.

Toto: We all need to, it's what they're waiting for.

[He then points to the upper right and then it pans to the skuas, it then cuts back to the penguins]

Gugu: One question, where's Grandpa Pigo?

Toto: I heard he's still at the sea, you know how old he is.

Popo: Well what should we do now?

Toto: Do what us fathers do, and nest the eggs.

Popo: Got it!

[They then lay back down on the eggs, then it fades to the night]

[They then hear a penguin mourning as they both look to the left, it then cuts to Popo and Mimi, a purple pinkish penguin]

Mimi: What kind of penguin are you?! What are we going to do now?!

Popo: Look I'm sorry Mimi, I really am, please try to calm down!

[It then cuts back to Toto and Lala]

Toto: Lala, I'm sorry to tell you this, but one of our eggs has been taken by the skuas, I was defending Popo's egg, and couldn't save our second egg.

[He then takes their eggs, and he walks up to Popo and Mimi, who's still grieving]

Toto: Lets see, this one is ours, [Lala comes over and grabs it] and this one is yours.

[He gives Mimi her egg]

[It then cuts back to Toto and Lala]

[Pigo, an elderly penguin, slowly waddles up]

Toto: Well, let's just say it was really hard.

Pigo: I see.

[The scene cuts the father penguins swimming in the sea]

[It then cuts to Lolo]

Lolo: O-lo

[It then cuts to Lala]

Toto: [offscreen] Not "O-lo", "Lolo"!

[It then cuts to the same zoomed out view as before, Lolo is shown waddling to Lala]

Lolo: Lo-Lo!

Lala: No really, he is very smart.

[It then cuts to Lolo]

Lolo: Lolo! Lolo! Lolo! [repeats it 12 times as he is goofing off, it then cuts to back to the zoomed view]

Toto: [as he smooths back his hair] He's so lively.

Lala: [as she waddles up and hugs him and as Lolo puts snow on his head]: Oh Toto he's just being a little penguin.

[It then cuts to all the penguins with their children, it pans to the right]

Narrator: Every penguin is happy in their own way.

[The scene fades out, it then cuts to the penguins jumping into the water]

Narrator: When summer entered the antarctic, good things came to the land.

[It cuts to the penguins swimming underwater]

Narrator: The ice melts, and it makes it easier for the penguins to go get food without going too far.

[It cuts to the penguins catching krill in their mouths, it then cuts to them swimming back to the ice, it then cuts to Toto petting Lolo and then he waddles off waving, it then cuts to Lala]

Lala: Take care Toto!

[She then bends down and gives Lolo the food she kept in her mouth, like all penguin mothers do]

Narrator: And that's how fathers and mothers take turns getting food for their children.

[It cuts to Lolo chewing the food, and then he swallows it, and then licks his beak, and then sighs, it then cuts back to Lala, as he gets more food, chews it, and then gets food and chews it again, he then does a hand gesture showing he wants more]

Lala: That's enough food.

Lolo: But why?

Lala: Because you will get a stomach ache.

Lolo: Why will I get a stomach ache.

Lala: Well, because that how it is.

Lolo: Why is it?

Lala: Because.... well run along.

[It then cuts to a zoomed view of them]

Lolo: Why should I run along?

Lala: Oh what a child.

[She looks at the upper right corner, then Lolo looks at the upper left corner, then looks back, and runs off, it then cuts to him running behind a rock, and then pops up, and then goes back down, it then cuts back to Lala, who is now looking for him]

Lala: Where did you go Lolo? Where are you hiding? Lolo! Where are you?

[It then cut Lolo who's popped up from the rock, then Grandpa Pigo slowly waddles in from the right, after he goes offscreen, Lolo follows him and when he reaches him he walks in the same fashion he is]

Lala: [offscreen] Grandpa Pigo!

[She walks up to him as Lolo bumps into the back of him as he doesn't notice]

Lala: Have you seen my son Lolo?

Grandpa Pigo: No, I haven't.

Lala: Well how can he have just vanished?

[Grandpa Pigo shrugs his shoulders as Lolo runs off]

[It then cuts to Lolo who sees Gigi and Zizi asking their mother for food]

Gigi: Give me more!

Zizi: Give me more!

[Lolo runs up, pushes them aside, and gets food, the 2 try to go back but he pushes them again and gets more food]

Gigi: Mommy, that's not us it's Lolo.

Lala: *offscreen* There you are!

[It cuts to Lala who walks up]

Lala: I've been searching everywhere for you! now let's go home.

[Lolo goes under her and pops out as Gigi and Zizi chuckle, she then picks him up and walks off]

Lolo: Momma, how come Gigi and Zizi live together, but I'm an only child?

Lala: Well, it's just.. just?.. it's just the way it happens Lolo.

[It cuts to her looking at Mimi, Pepe's mother]

Mimi: You know Lolo, some penguins have brothers and other penguins don't- *sigh* Our Pepe doesn't have any other.

Lolo: Momma who is Pepe?

Lala: You'll find out

Mimi: Lolo, i'd like to introduce you to my daughter Pepe

[Pepe sheepishly comes out from behind her and does a cutesy look, it then cuts to Lolo and Lala]

Lolo: Alright!

[Lolo is the put down, and Pepe looks away, and sheepishly looks back, Lolo runs towards her but trips, she then laughs and he starts laughing, she then walks shyly towards him]

Lolo: Do you wanna be my friend?

[They then touch lips and they start laughing more then ever, then the scene fades out]

Part 3
[We cut to Toto waving bye to Lala, he then gives Lolo his food, he then looks to see dark snow clouds coming in]

Toto: Uh oh?

Lolo: What is it papa?

Toto: Looks like a serious blizzard

[the weather starts getting more cloudy]

Lolo: Papa, warn me why can't I go out and play?

Toto: Because you're yet very small. If children go out all alone, they can get into danger.

Lolo: But why?

Toto: If you grow up, become strong, and then––then you can even go out into the sea.

Lolo: And what is the sea?

[But before Toto is able to respond Lolo's question, they see Gugu run past them]

Toto: What's the matter, Gugu?

Gugu: They're people. People came in ships!

Toto: Gugu, don't let them come close to the people. I'll be right with you!

Gugu: Alright.

Lolo: And what are people?

Toto: I'll explain later. Remember, Lolo, don't go anywhere!

[Lolo just sits there, bored and anxious for his father to return. Then, Grandfather Pigo strolls up to him, which catches Lolo's attention]

Grandfather Pigo: People is what brings us so much damage. Oh, before people used to come from far off and slaughtered many, many penguins. But now, they catch us and put us in animal parts!

Lolo: What are animal parts?

Grandfather Pigo: They are wrong.

Lolo: Please warn me, warn me, Grandpa Pigo!

Grandfather Pigo: Warn me! Warn me! What can I warn you about then? I don't know myself, and then leave me alone. I'm tired!

[Then Grandfather Pigo walks away, separate from Lolo and his seemingly annoying questions]

[Then Lolo walks out of the nest, with a stride in his step, and emotion gleaming in his eyes. He walks along the snowy land, seeing all the sights. The feel of snow on his feet, the glistening, blue ocean, the clear, blue heavens, everything. He is just wandering around, minding his own business, not noticing the two skuas, watching him from afar on a cliff face. Then he sees a giant mountain, and decides to climb up it]

Lolo: One, two!

[Then Lolo starts to climb the mountain. Even though he slips a couple of times, and sure enough, he makes it to the top]

Lolo: Oh, boy!

[While looking upon the beautiful landscape, he notices something that looks out of place. It is red, with smaller red and white parts sticking out of it. One of the red facts begins to fly]

Lolo: Oh, which of them is people? The one who's–––so big? Why the one that makes so much noise?

[But then, he looks up and sees the grizzly fate that awaits him. The two skuas are coming straight for him. He ducks down, trying to shake them away, but to no prevail. They are pecking at him and trying to snatch him up with their claws, and as all sees lost for our little hero, suddenly, a giant, red helicopter appears from the heavens and blows the two skuas, separating them from the little penguin. The two skuas topple down the hill, losing some feathers on the road down. Lolo is safe]

Lolo: People! Hey, wait, people!

[Then he falls from the top of the mountain. After hitting some bumps on the road down, he falls onto his belly and starts to slide the rest of the road down. He actually enjoys it]

Lolo: It's grand! Ha ha ha!

[Then he lands in the snow. He sees that there is another mountain, and he decides to climb up that one, as well. At last, he makes it to a section that is just rock, and he finds a ledge to rest on. He is surprised to see, perched on the rock ledge, a nest with a baby skua sitting in it]

Lolo: Who are you?

Baby Skua: *peep peep*

Lolo: Pi-pi? And I'm Lolo. Pi-pi, do you want to go and slide downhill? It's grand fun!

Pi-pi: *peep peep*

Lolo: Alright, we'll get to that later. Now, I'll try to help you out.

[Lolo doesn't notice the skua mother that is flying above them. He is way too busy with his new friend]

Lolo: Are you mum and papa strict? Don't be afraid of this. Just warn them you've made friends with me and they won't scold you.

[But naive little Lolo will learn the hard fashion just how frustrated his parents can be]

Pi-pi: *peep peep*

[Lolo looks up to see what the skua baby is looking at, and his face turns from joy from horror, as he sees the mother skua coming down to snatch him up. Lolo jumps from the ledge, and slides down the hill. Then he sees that he is headed for a giant rock. He is sent flying into the air by the rock. Then he comes smashing down as he hits his head on the solid ground, knocking him out, as he lays flat on his back. Lala is looking everywhere for him, even asking for help to find him]

Lala: Lolo! Lolo! Has anyone seen Lolo?

Gigi: I think he went that fashion! Didn't we, Zizi?

Zizi: Uh-huh! He went over there.

Lala: Oh, heavens. What have I done?

[Pepe sees her searching for Lolo, and she begins to fear for her friend's life, as she begins to softly weep]

[Lolo is yet laying in the snow, his eyes closed, and his body unmoving, except for his chest moving up and down, signifying him breathing. Then, he feels a breeze rising up from him. Is he being sniffed? He opens his eyes, and sees the creature that stands before him. It is covered in white, black, brownish-gold fur on the body, with tan colored fur on the lower half of his legs, and white and black fur on his big, fluffy, curly tail, along with black and white, spiky ears. He has a long muzzle, with a tiny black nose at the end of it, and brown eyes. Then the creature opens its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, along with a long, wet tongue. Lolo darts up in fear, and runs away, kicking up some snow, which ends up on the creature’s face. He shakes it away, and runs after Lolo. Lolo runs as fast as he can from the heavily shivering creature. Then Lolo trips over a rock in the snow, and then he lays silent, allowing the animal to jump above him, to the other side. Lolo accepts his defeat]

Lolo: Enough, I gave in.

[The creature runs up to him, gets close where they are face-to-face, and he starts to....lick him. The animal licks Lolo's face until he is standing up. Lolo wipes the slobber from his face]

Lolo: Who are you?

[Apparently, it is a dog, named Cowboy]

Don: I'm Don, the puppy, son of an Eskimo dog.

Lolo: You mean you're not people?

Don: No. People are over there.

[Don points with his snout towards a group of humans carrying facts out of the helicopter that Lolo saw before. Next to it is a small building-like fashion. It may have been their shelter]

Don: They're all from the research station. They came here early this year to study the South Pole.

Lolo: Grandfather Pigo says people mean danger for us. They catch us and take us to some animal parts.

Don: Most likely, these are poachers. We don't like them either. But these people may don't do facts like that.

Lolo: Do you think so?

Don: Yes! They're nice people. And what's your name?

Lolo: Lolo.

Don: Lolo! Let's be friends.

Lolo: Alright.

[Then, Don gets really emotional and starts licking Lolo again, and tickles]

Lolo: No! It tickles! Stop! Ha ha ha!

[Then Lolo rolls off and starts to run. Then Don runs in pursuit. But then, Lolo runs into something, and he falls down on his back. He looks up to see what he has ran into. It is a human]

Steele's Musher: Why, it's a baby penguin! Heh heh heh! Don't be afraid, little one. You most kinda fell out of your nests. Don, let's take him back, right? Don't be afraid, little one.

[The two walk together to the penguin village to get Lolo back home safely. All the penguins are looking for Lolo, until they spot, from the top of a hill, a human and his pet dog, and within the human’s arms is a tiny blue penguin: Lolo]

Steele's Musher: Well, here we are.

[Steele's musher sets Lolo down on the ground and Lolo turns to say a farewell to him. But before Lolo can truly leave, Don walks up to him, willing to say a farewell as well]

Don: Come back again. And then we'll play once more with you!

Lolo: Alright, I'll come.

[Then Lolo runs away to see his family. Don walks away to his settlement, but not in that instant. Then he turns back around and heads back to his home. After this, Lolo has returned to the nest where he is being consoled by his mother]

Lala: You mustn't do that, son.
