The Irelanders' Adventures of The Animals of Farthing Wood: The Wood in Danger/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of The Animals of Farthing Wood: The Wood in Danger.

[The film begins with a live action footage of Chris and Martin Kratt]

Chris Kratt: We're here in Europe, in the woodlands. Hey, it's us, the Kratt Brothers.

Martin Kratt: I'm Martin.

Chris Kratt: And I'm Chris. And today, we're going to see all the woodland creatures in the wood with our guest, Connor Lacey.

Connor Lacey: Thanks, guys. Good to be here.

[They walk through the woods til they saw some woodland animals]

Chris Kratt: There's a fox.

Martin Kratt: And a badger.

Connor Lacey: There some rabbits over there.

Chris Kratt: These animals live together in these woods for years.

Martin Kratt: But sadly, their homes sometimes got destroyed by human construction.

Connor Lacey: And that can cause problems for them like de-hydration and starvation.

Chris Kratt: But thankfully, humans managed to find ways to protect the animals.

Martin Kratt: By building nature preserves to give them homes and protection from destruction.

Connor Lacey: Imagine if a group of animals traveled to a nature preserve.

Chris Kratt: Imagine if we have fox powers.

Kratt Bros and Connor Lacey: What if?

[The Kratt Bros change into their animated forms and they run off with Connor following them. The intro starts playing then ends with the title "The Irelanders' Adventures of The Animals of Farthing Wood: The Wood In Danger". The scene changes to a view of Farthing Wood with it's trees and stream in them. Then humans start cutting down tress with chainsaws and construction vehicles moving to dig up the dirt with their shovels. A toad dragged himself to the roots of a tree, tired out]

Toad: (panting) Not.... much further.

[He gasps and hops as a tree falls down to the ground. He keeps hopping but still he's tired]

Toad: I'm sure I must be nearly there.

[As the shovel keeps moving, Toad saw the wood just ahead of him]

Toad: Yes. This is it. (chuckles) This is my place. If I can just... (pants) keep going a little bit longer, I'II soon be.. (pants) home and dry.

[He yells as he saw the shovel above him. It lowers down and scoops up him and some dirt. As Toad peers over the shovel, the human push a lever and the shovel drops the dirt and Toad to the ground, burying him. A large rock lands on the pile, acting like a gravestone. A kestrel flies through the wood. A badger and a weasel survey the destruction]

Badger: Look at this place.

[Weasel looks up at Badger]

Badger: Just look at it, Weasel.

Weasel: (laughs) Doesn't get any better.

Badger: I don't know what you're laughing at. (sighs) How many more homes have we lost today, Owl?

[Owl sits on a branch fidgeting with a dead field mouse]

Owl: Half a dozen semi-detached burrows, 3 fully-furnished squirrel and at least 15 immaculately kept nests.

[A tree collapses]

Owl: Oh. 16.

[Badger and Weasel look at each other]

Badger: Chopping away at us every day. Still they're not satisfied.

Weasel: (gulps) Don't look now. They'll be on us any minute. Any second.

Badger: (sighs) Our days are numbered.

[Kestrel arrives]

Kestrel: Won't be long now. Won't be long now. Now that they've filled in the pond.

[Badger and Weasel look at each other in shock]

Owl: [dropping her field mouse] Not Farthing Wood pond.

Kestrel: Correct.

Badger: Our last remaining watering hole

[Cut to a shot of a machine filling the pond with dirt]

Weasel:
