LAZYTOWN: THE MOVIE

(The movie starts in a large plain field, where Haninn the Rooster appears in 1703.)

Haninn: Hello everyone! I'm here to tell everyone a story. What kind of story? Well, a lazy one, of course! This story begins in 1703, when a group of 711 lazy Icelandic people built the laziest town on Earth. What is the name of that lazy town you ask? It's a lazy town called... well, LazyTown.

(The camera pans to where 711 Icelandic people gathered to build a town called LazyTown.)

Lazy Person #1: Together, we will form, the laziest community on planet Earth!

Lazy Person #2: What shall we name it?

Lazy Person #1: Well, LazyTown.

(The lazy people are staring at Lazy Person #1)

Lazy Person #1: Um, why would we think of another name?

Lazy Person #2: That's a great name, actually.

(The group then started construction on the town. Many years later, in 1964, when construction of the entire LazyTown was completed, Sportacus was born. We then see Hannin outside of Sportacus's house.)

Hannin: The construction on the town was completed, and in 1964, Sportacus was born.

(We then see baby Sportacus with his parents in their house.)

Mrs. Sportacus: Oh, what a wonderful baby boy! What shall we name him?

Mr. Sportacus: Well, I think he will be a great athlete, so we should name him Sportacus.

Mrs. Sportacus: Oh, I was expecting a more original name. Ah well.

Mr. Sportacus: I know, but... I think we would call him Alex, besides Sportacus.

Mrs. Sportacus: Hmmm, okay.

(We flash forward 6 years later, where young Sportacus is watching exercise films (yes, they were on film, not on videotape, as neither Betamax or VHS existed in the early 1970s.))

Instructor: Now, I've won a bunch of medals at the Olympics, but that requires passion, love of sport, and most importantly, skill. We'll start this off with a nice warm up.

(It then proceeds to a montage of Sportacus watching exercise films and doing the moves seen in the films. Sportacus then shows his parents the moves he learned.)

Mr. Sportacus: Oh, that's amazing! You are a talented child.

Mrs. Sportacus: I couldn't agree more.

(We then see Hannin again outside of Sportacus's house.)

Hannin: Since Sportacus became very active, LazyTown was slowly evolving from a lazy town to an active town, thanks to his impressive moves. However, things were starting to change, when in 1975, Robbie Rotten was born.

(We then proceed to 1975, when Robbie Rotten is born while Sportacus is having his gym lessons at the LazyTown School gym class.)

Mrs. Rotten: Oh, what a wonderful child!

Mr. Rotten: Well, what shall we name him?

Mrs. Rotten: I have one name in my mind: Robbie. It's a perfect name for our lazy life.

(We flash forward to 1983, where an 8-year-old Robbie Rotten attempts to force a group of active kids to be lazy like him.)

Young Robbie: Alright, you twits! I want you to be lazy like me, and stop being so active all the time!

Group of Active Kids: No! Never!

Young Robbie: Ugh! You guys are useless!

(We flash forward to 1984, where Sportacus 9 is announcing his retirement at the LazyTown City Hall, saying it was time to pass the torch to someone younger. So, Sportacus 9 did pass the torch to a 20-year-old Sportacus, now known as Sportacus 10, as his successor. But before Sportacus 9 started leaving LazyTown, he gave Sportacus 10 an old wooden box with a Sportacus uniform inside.)

Sportacus 9: Sportacus 10, since I'm retiring, and you've become very well active, I'm giving you this. It's an old wooden box, but let me tell you something. If you continue to practice, exercise, eat right, and work hard, then, when you are old enough, you could open the box and there would be something inside that would change your life. Do your best, and keep up the good work! Sportacus 9, over and out... for the final time. Goodbye.

(Sportacus 9 leaves as Sportacus 10 has an idea that will change his life forever. We flash forward 4 years later to 1988, where Sportacus has become an athlete and is participating in the Seoul 1988 Olympics.)

Starter: 십! (Ten!) 구! (Nine!) 팔! (Eight!) 칠! (Seven!) 육! (Six!) 오! (Five!) 사! (Four!) 삼! (Three!) 이! (Two!) 일! (One!)

(The starter then fires his starting pistol, beginning the race. Sportacus has a good start, going 1st place, but then falls behind a bit and eventually finishes at 3rd.)

Announcer: The race is over, and Sportacus 10 is in 3rd place. However, he will try working hard again for the next Olympics.

(We then head to 1994, when Sportacus 10 is popular with the citizens of LazyTown. It's night time, and Robbie breaks into the house of Sportacus's parents with a gun in his hand. He then sneaks up to the parent's room, opens the door silently, aims his gun at them, and fires. The screen then cuts to the exterior view of the house where Robbie Rotten killed Sportacus's parents off-screen. Hannin later appears and looks at the camera.)

Hannin: Sportacus 10 became popular with the citizens of LazyTown, and in 1994, a very sad incident happened to his life. Robbie Rotten has murdered Sportacus's parents with a gun, and by the time Sportacus 10 returned to his parents' house, he might discover that his parents... are murdered.

(Hannin walks away off-screen. One day later, Sportacus walks to his parents' house, only to discover his parents were murdered. Sportacus then feels a rush of depression, and heads to the phone and calls the police.)

Sportacus: Hello, police. We've got a murder at 31 Maggi Street.

(The police then arrive at the scene, and start investigating the murder. They find a gun, with "Robbie Rotten" written on the handle.)

Sportacus: Robbie. I didn't expect him.

(Several hours later, Sportacus finds Robbie.)

Sportacus: Robbie.

Robbie: Sportaloon.

Sportacus: The police found out that you killed my parents.

Robbie: Really?

Sportacus: Yes, really. Here's proof.

(Sportacus takes out the gun with the name "Robbie Rotten" written on the handle.)

Robbie: Uh-oh.

(They begin fighting for 30 seconds until Sportacus finds a banana peel and uses it to trip Robbie over. The police then arrest Robbie afterwards.)

Sportacus: Thanks, police!

(After the police send Robbie away, a crowd come rushing to Sportacus, congratulating him for his work.)

Hannin: 2 years after Robbie's first defeat, a girl called Stephanie Meanswell was born.

(The scene fades to a couple at the hospital with their new baby daughter.)

Mrs. Meanswell: Oh, what a beautiful baby girl. What shall we name her?

Mr. Meanswell: Hmmm... Zoe? Nah, too weird. Trixer? Nah, too menacing. Aha! I found the perfect name!

Mrs. Meanswell: What is it? What is it?

Mr. Meanswell: Stephanie. It represents the nice lifestyle she will live in the future, and the wonders of nature.

Mrs. Meanswell: Excellent!

(6 years later, Stephanie walks back to her house after school, only to see dead bodies of her parents. They died from a double homicide. Stephanie feels sad and mourns their death. We then see Hannin outside Stephanie's old house.)

Hannin: At age six, after school was over, Stephanie came back to her old house, only to see dead bodies of her parents. They died from a double homicide.

(As Hannin continues narrating off-screen, Stephanie packs her bags, rides on a taxi to the airport, goes on a flight to Iceland, and rides on a taxi to the orphanage. She then enters the orphanage.)

Hannin (off-screen): So she migrated to Iceland, and went to an orphanage. Two years later, the foster mother recieved an unexpected call.

(The foster mother picks up the phone, and starts listening to the Mayor.)

Mayor Meanswell: Hello, foster carer of Stephanie! I am calling because I am the new mayor of LazyTown, and would like to send Stephanie over here! Would you accept?

Foster mother: Yes!

Mayor Meanswell: Thanks! Bye!

(The foster mother then walks up to Stephanie to tell her the news.)

Foster mother: I have some exciting news for you! Your uncle is sending you over to LazyTown as he is the new mayor over there!

Stephanie: That sounds really exciting! I can't wait!

(Stephanie soon heads off to LazyTown by train.)

Hannin: And so therefore, Stephanie lived a nice life in LazyTown.

Part 1
(The movie then cuts to Stephanie in her bed, waking up and heading to the kitchen to eat her breakfast. “14 YEARS LATER” is on the screen for two seconds.)

Mayor Meanswell: Good morning, Stephanie! What are you planning on doing today?

Stephanie: Oh, practicing tennis.

Mayor Meanswell: Ah, yes, tennis. A game of quick reactions and thrills where one little mishap makes you lose, such as reacting too slow, or hitting the ball in the net. As a kid, one time a ball hit my head, and I...

(Stephanie then runs outside the house.)

Stephanie: Thanks, uncle! Bye!

Mayor: B-but, don't you want to hear what happens next?

More coming soon!
