This page has the transcript for the video Angry Birds in Leapfrog: Letter Factory.

(Note that "-" means cut from the Leapster version)

Going To The Factory
(Fade from black as we pan to the Frog Family's home, we zoom to the front door)

Mr. Frog: (offscreen, but shown in the Leapster version) Okay, let's get in the car. Who's ready to go?

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

(camera fade to the frog kids & the flock seemingly ready. the camera pan out to reveal that the frog kids & the flock was just a picture on the fridge and the real kids are hurrying to get ready)

(The Frog Kids & the flock complain while Mom buttons her husband's shirt; then they line up)

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Leap, Lily, Tad, & the Flock: We're ready! (their parents smile and they head to the garage)

(on the door of the garage there are words reading "LEAPFROG PRESENTS: ANGRY BIRDS IN: THE LETTER FACTORY". The door opens and the car drives away from home as "The LeapFrog Learning Overture" plays and the opening credits appear. They pass by a truck that honks its horn and then arrive at the Letter Factory and park at a space in an alphabet-styled parking lot, but in the Leapster version, the drive was shortened a bit)

Mr. Frog: Here we are, at the Letter Factory!

(the family comes out of the car)

Mrs. Frog: Everyone ready to help out with your father's big letter presentation?

(Leap and Lily pass by Mrs. Frog)

Leap: Okey-dokey, artichokey.

(shows Mr. Frog holding Tad while walking)

Mr. Frog: Fortunately we have the most talented letters in the whole world.

Tad: What makes them so special, Dad?

Mr. Frog: Well, Tad, our letters are the only letters in the world that can speak.

(On the sign of the factory, we see the letters in "LETTER" with faces)

Sign Letters: (singing) L-E-TT-ER.

Mr. Frog: And they know exactly what to say. That's important, Tad, because when letters make sounds, they work together to make words.

Sign Letters: (they sing the whole word) Letter!

Bomb: I hope there are no pigs there!

The Alphabet Presentation Setup
(The Frog Family is then inside the factory)

Mr. Frog: Now I know you might be asking yourself, what do we do with all these letters? (they come to an auditorium) Just push this button and you'll see. (Tad does so and a TV screen turns on to show a book titles Websley's Alphabet Book) Ah, the Websley Alphabet Book, which contains every single letter of the alphabet. (The book flips to pages A, B, and C. Then it floats and Mr. Websley appears out of nowhere holding the book.) And this is the book's publisher: Mr. Websley.

Mr. Websley: The Websley Alphabet Book is filled with all the letters of the alphabet.

Mr. Frog: But now we need to convince Mr. Websley to make a talking alphabet book. Do you know what he needs for that book?

Leap and Lily: Letters that make sounds!

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Mrs. Frog: (singing as she plays the piano) Mr. Websley is coming around to see our letters and hear their sounds.

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Mr. Frog: Yes. He's getting a special tour, and then a big presentation. Kids, Mr. Websley is one of the most important letter users in the world!

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Leap: (steps out with a straw hat, a cane, and microphone) And now, I'd like to introduce the big man who will be leading this factory tour, Dad!

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Mr. Frog: (he comes driving a car) Yes. We're proud of the fact that we make the best letters in the world.

Tad: Oh, I wanna help. What can I do? (he stands up, but falls and knocks over some paints) Oops, sorry. I'll clean it up.

(pretty soon, Mr. Websley arrives at the factory)

Mr. Websley: Well, where is everybody? (quacks) I'd be very grumpy if I have to wait for anything.

Mr. Frog: Welcome to our Letter Factory, Mr. Websley, where letters make exactly the right sound! Please hop aboard for your special tour.

Mr. Websley: (quacks as he hops on) This better be good. Letters that make sounds. (quacks) I'll believe it when I hear it.

Mr. Frog: Leap, Lily, if you two could keep an eye on Tad, that would be great.

Leap: (loudly through microphone as the rest covers their ears) Okey-dokey, artichokey! Oh, I mean, heh-heh. Okey-dokey, artichokey.

The Tour
Mr. Frog: (as he tours Mr. Websley around the factory) Here at the Letter Factory, we make better letters than anywhere else in the world. Why? Because we train our letters to make their sound absolutely perfect every time.

Leap: (on stage he is carrying E, F, G, and H) Hey, I found some old letters: E, F, G, whoa!

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version, which after the above line, Leap drops the letters)———————

Leap: And H, that we can use to decorate the stage.

Mrs. Frog: (holds lyric papers) I was thinking I could play this song: all the Letters from A to Z.

Lily: (rides on a big rolling letter O) Maybe I could do a dance with this big letter O! (she carelessly bumps into Leap, Tad, and Mom, startling them and the letters and lyric papers fall down to the ground)

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version, which cuts to Leap dropping the letters)———————

Tad: (as the letters touch the ground) E, F, G, H? How many letters are there?

Leap: Only twenty-six, Tad. But maybe you're too little to remember all of them. Why don't you just sit and watch?

Tad: Too little, just watch, get lost.

(Tad leaves the stage)

Leap: No, Tad! Uh, I didn't mean it like that.

Lily: Leap, we need to practice so the presentation will be perfect.

Leap: Right, Lily. I'll talk to Tad later.

Tad: (walks away from his siblings) If I knew my letters I could help.

Meeting Professor Quigley/Rooms A, B, C, and D
(Tad enters the letter training area. He sees some A letters walk off a conveyor belt and report to their classroom, while a female computerized voice speaks)

Female computer voice: Now entering the letter training area. All letters, please report to the training area immediately. Caution, intense and serious letter training now in progress.

Tad: I'm just too small to get my letters right.

Professor Quigley: (listens while he works with the training area control monitors) Huh? Well, wait a minute. (walks up to Tad) Let's just see about that. (measures Tad with a measuring tape) As I suspected, just perfect for learning letters! (rolls the tape back up) Allow me to introduce myself. My card. (shows Tad his talking license card)

Professor Quigley's License: The name is Quigley-- Professor Quigley.

Tad: Nice to meet you.

Professor Quigley: And I'll be happy to teach you your letters with a full-proof system developed right here by a very ingenious scientist.

Tad: Who?

Professor Quigley: Me! In these classrooms, we teach every letter to make its correct sound. Why don’t you join the A's, Tad?

(Tad comes in the A room. Professor Quigley winks at the camera and runs off. Just then a big hairy purple monster comes in the room)

Professor Quigley: Wooga Wooga Wooga!

Tad and the A letters: Ah!

Professor Quigley: Perfect. That was exactly the right sound for the letter A. "ah" as in "ant".

(The monster is actually Professor Quigley in disguise)

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Professor Quigley: (takes off the monster's head and scratches) Which reminds me. I need to get this monster suit clean.

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Professor Quigley: What do the A's say? (the A letters say their sound simultaneously) You see, my boy, learning letters is easy. Now you know... (writes an A on a slate board and sings to the tune to "Farmer in the Dell")

The A says

A letters:

"ah"

Professor Quigley:

The A says

A letters:

"ah"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The A says

Tad:

"ah"

(spoken) Wow, what letter is next?

(They are at the door to the B room, but shows them walking to it in the Leapster version)

Professor Quigley: The letter B.

Tad: (notice a lowercase b on the door) Hey, this "b" forgot one of its bumps.

Professor Quigley: That's a lowercase b, Tad. And this large one is called a capital B. (erases the original capital and lowercase B and rewrites them on the door, but in the Leapster version, he does that as he was saying the above line) Each letter can be either a capital or a lowercase. But they both make the same sound, no matter what their shape and size.

(They enter the B room, where inside the B letters are singing their sound to the tune to "Symphony No. 5", written by Ludwig Van Beethoven. One of them is blowing on a tuba. The B trainer is conducting them, with the bust of Beethoven singing along with them.)

Professor Quigley: (stops the music) Hold it! Hold it! I heard a boom boom boom. You are not cannons. You are the letter B, and... (writes a B on a slate board and sings)

The B says

B letters:

"buh"

Professor Quigley:

The B says

B letters:

"buh"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The B says

Tad:

"buh"

(One of the B letters blows the tuba so hard it blows Tad, Professor Quigley and the B conductor out of the room. Tad and Professor Quigley land in the C room, where it's cold)

Tad: (shivers) Br-r-r-r! It's c-c-cold in here!

Professor Quigley: (appears wearing his winter clothes) This is the C room. C makes the "c" sound as in "cold".

(Some C letters appear)

C Trainer: You are the letter C, and your sound is...

C letters: cuh, cuh, cuh.

Professor Quigley: (writes a C on a slate board and sings)

The C says

C letters:

"cuh"

Professor Quigley:

The C says

C letters:

"cuh"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The C says

Tad:

"cuh"

(suddenly, a snowball starts coming)

Tad: (gasps) LOOK OUT!!

(Everyone sees the giant snowball, then the C's jump out the way while Professor Quigley and Tad start running from the snowball and screaming as they get trapped in the snowball which then bursts out of the C room across the hall and finally crashes into the door to the D room causing it to fall apart. Then Professor Quigley is now in his normal attire is sitting in front of the door)

Professor Quigley: Brrrrrr. Good thing I wore my long underwear!

(Tad pops out of the snow and smiles, but in the Leapster version, Tad pops out shivering as Professor Quigley says the above line)

(They go into D room where the D class is playing jazz music, and the D trainer is playing a drum. The D trainer stops and sees Tad and Professor Quigley)

D Trainer: Mmm! Oh! Welcome to the D room, daddy-o.

Professor Quigley: (Now wearing purple beret and sunglasses and he has soul patch, and speaks in beatnik accent) I dig your vibes, my main D and we are here so the sprout can soak in your message.

D Trainer: Crazy! (to his D students) Listen up, cool cats. The D goes "duh", as in "dog".

D letters: Duh, duh, duh, duh.

Professor Quigley: I dig the D. Let's tune into that crazy poetry. (writes a D on a slate board as he sings)

The D says

D letters:

"duh"

Professor Quigley:

The D says

D letters:

"duh"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The D says

Tad:

"duh"

Professor Quigley: Well d-done, Taddy-o!

Review Segment #1: A, B, C, and D
(scene shows Leap wearing glasses and holding a slate)

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Leap: Letters, letters, listen up! We really need to impress Mr. Websley. So I'm thinking of creating an incredible beginning for the presentation! OK, first, I need to build a big set with a slide.

Lily: Leap, we really don't have time for any changes.

Leap: Okay. Uh...

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Leap: Let's take it from the top with A, B, C, and D.

(Mrs. Frog starts playing the piano)

Leap: And action!

A: The A says ah

B: The B says buh

C: The C says cuh

D: And the D says duh

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Leap: And here's where we use my remote control spotlights!

(Leap turns on the spotlight. But they are so bright the letters A B C and D are blinded and they end up bumping into each other)

A: Help!

(Lily puts her hand on her mouth in horror as the letters destroy the set)

Letters: AHHHHHHHH!!!!

Leap: (embarrassed over what he just did) Okay. So, maybe we don't use the spotlights.

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Rooms E, F, G, and H
(scene shows Professor Quigley and Tad at the door to the E room)

Tad: What room is next, Professor?

Professor Quigley: My boy, just ask if this is the E room.

(scene switches to the interior of the E room)

Tad: Um, excuse me. Is this the E room?

E Trainer: eh?

Tad: IS THIS THE E ROOM?

E Trainer: eh?

Tad: This guy don't help. He just keeps saying "eh".

Professor Quigley: That's right, Tad. This is our E trainer. He's teaching the sound of the letter E: "eh" as in "egg". (displays an egg)

E Trainer: eh!

E letters: eh!

Professor Quigley: (writes an E on a slate board and sings)

The E says

E letters:

"eh"

Professor Quigley:

The E says

E letters:

"eh"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The E says

Tad:

"eh"

Professor Quigley: Bravo! (claps his hands but breaks the egg) Perhaps we had best be going.

(Professor Quigley cleans his hands and he and Tad leave the E room (in the Leapster version, it just cuts to them leaving the E room), then shows them walking to the door to the F room)

Tad: Oh no! This E is missing another line!

Professor Quigley: Actually, that's the letter F.

Tad: Can we go inside so I can learn what it sounds like?

Professor Quigley: Certainly, but I hope you don't get airsick.

Tad: Huh?

(scene cuts to the interior of the F room)

F Trainer: Alright, F letters. Prepare for takeoff.

Tad: Are we going to get on a plane?

Professor Quigley: You'll see.

F Trainer: F letters, make your sound.

(The F letters say their sound as they sprout wings and lift off from the ground and to the ceiling full of stars)

Tad: Cool!

Professor Quigley: Yes, the sound of the letter F is "ff", as in the word "fly". Let’s try it.

(Professor Quigley and Tad say their F sound and lift off from the ground.)

Tad: Hey! I'm flying! (laughs) This is fun!

Professor Quigley: Yes, that word works too. (he then writes an F on a slate board and sings)

Tad: Oh, Professor, learning letters is great!

Professor Quigley: Yes, and every room is a wonderful challenge!

(scene switches to the interior of the G room, where the letter G's are lifting dumbbells while saying their sound)

Tad: Hey, what letter is that?

G Trainer: Lift those weights all the way! What sound does the letter G say?

G letters: guh! guh! guh!

Professor Quigley: (writes a G on a slate board and sings while dressed up as a muscle-man)

H letters: hh! hh! hh!

Tad: Wow! It's h-h-hot in here.

Professor Quigley: (wearing a red Hawaiian shirt and green sombrero (but just the red Hawaiian shirt in the Leapster version), holding a glass filled with water, and giggles) That's the sound of the letter H! And water makes the H's h-h-happy! (gives Tad his glass of water and Tad drinks it as he does that Professor Quigley turns over the tray he had the glass on and writes an H on it with his chalk (but in the Leapster version, he writes the letter H on a slate board), and sings)

Review Segment #2: E, F, G, and H
(scene shows Mr. Frog and Mr. Websley in the tour car, and Mr. Frog shows Mr. Websley where he double-checks each letter)

Mr. Frog: Here's where we double-check each letter to make sure it looks and sounds absolutely perfect!

(shows a conveyor belt where the letters A through G and a Berfter appear (but in the Leapster version only the letters E through G and the Berfter appear), with the last three letters and the Berfter singing)

E: The E says "eh"

F: The F says "ff"

G: The G says "guh"

Berfter: And the Berfter says BLASTROMLIFYEDAH!

(Mr. Frog quickly runs to the machine and presses a button causing an alarm to go off and the convener belt to stop, Mr. Websley looks at the berfter)

Mr. Frog: Uh...and this is why we double-check each and every letter.

(Mr. Frog pulls a lever causing the berfter to fall through a trap door)

Mr. Frog: (speaks into the microphone) I need a new letter H at Checkpoint 3 please, letter H at Checkpoint 3!

(Mr. Frog looks at the conveyor belt which now has the letter H on it)

H: hh, hh, hh.

Mr. Frog: (as he waves to the letter H as it goes past him) That's the letter H we know and love!

Rooms I, J, K, and L
(shows Professor Quigley and Tad at the door to the I room)

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

(Professor Quigley notices something on the door)

Professor Quigley: There's something missing here... (gets a pen from his pocket) Good thing I have my pen. There should be above this lowercase "i", a dot!

(Professor Quigley tries to fix it, but his pen is dry, and then shakes his pen)

Professor Quigley: It appears my pen is...(a lot of ink gets on him and right above the dot-less lowercase "i")...empty.

Tad: (points to the door) Hey, Professor, great shot!

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Professor Quigley: Shall we enter?

(both Tad and Professor Quigley enter the I room)

(slime falls on a letter I trainer)

Tad: "ih"! Icky!

I Trainer: "Ih!" If you are the letter I, then the sound you make is...

(slime falls on all the other letter I's)

I letters: "ih"!

(shows Professor Quigley wearing an umbrella hat and Tad next to him)

Professor Quigley: This is the way we train the I letters to make their sound.

(slime falls on Tad, and makes the I sound)

Tad: "ih"!

Professor Quigley: Correct! (writes an I on a slate board and sings)

The I says

I letters:

"ih"

Professor Quigley:

The I says

I letters:

"ih"

Professor Quigley:

Every letter makes a sound

The I says

(cuts to Professor Quigley and Tad at the door to the J room)

Tad: Professor, I bet the little J is next door buddies with the little I.

Professor Quigley: Why do you say that?

Tad: (points to the small j) Because they both have a dot.

Professor Quigley: Ha, ha! Excellent observation.

(scene switches to the interior of the J room, where the letter J's are jumping on trampolines while saying their sound)

J Trainer: The letter J makes the sound of... "juh"

Professor Quigley: Ah! The K letters are hard at work!

(Tad and Professor Quigley enter the K room, where the letter K's are wearing karate uniforms and kicking walls while saying their sound)

(Professor Quigley kicks the wall, but he breaks into pieces)

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

(scene switches to Professor Quigley and Tad at the door to the L room)

Tad: Hey, that's the letter L!

——————————(the scene below this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Lily: We'll do two spins to the right, then letter I, you'll do an inverted pirouette, letter J, a jump-split, letter K, a kick-turn, and letter L, a lunge. Here we go!

(letters I J, K, and L looked at each other, confused)

Leap: (laughs) They are the world's best letters, Not the world's best dancers.

Rooms M, N, O, and P
(scene shows Tad and Professor Quigley at the door to the M room)

Professor Quigley: Welcome to the tastiest room in the whole factory!

(Professor Quigley and Tad enter the M room)

M Trainer: Letters, you are known as the M. And M makes the most marvelous sound!

Tad: (eats a muffin) Mmm! Mm-mm-mm.

Professor Quigley: Hello, anybody home? The N letters can be a little bit crabby.

(the door opens, and a mosquito buzzes into the hallway)

Professor Quigley: Hello! I'm teaching Tad here all about the letter N, and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to let us hear your sound?

N Trainer: No! (he slams the door)

(Professor Quigley tries again)

Professor Quigley: How about at noon?

N Trainer: Nope!

Professor Quigley: Near nine o'clock?

N Trainer: Nuh-uh!

Professor Quigley: Next November?

N Trainer: NO, NO, NO! Not noon, not near nine o'clock, nor next November. Not now! Not ever. NEVER! (As he slams door again, the mosquito lands on Tad's cap)

Professor Quigley: Tad, perhaps we'll have to come back to this room.

Tad: Duck? Why?

(Professor Quigley pulls Tad into the bushes, then an O trainer and five more O letters swing over the bushes)

O Trainer: (swings by frowning, but smiles in the Leapster version) The O says "o-o", as in Ox and Octopus!

(five O letters swing right, then an O trainer swings left over the bushes, then five empty vines swing by, making Professor Quigley and Tad notice something)

Professor Quigley: Odd.

Tad: You mean the O says "o-o" as in the word odd?

Professor Quigley: Yes, and it's odd that the O letters didn't follow their trainer. But... (writes an O on a slate board and sings)

Professor Quigley: Just make sure you wait until they're finished...(the door opens, which causes an avalanche of popcorn and a letter P comes out)...puh-puh-popping!

(Professor Quigley and Tad enter the P room, where a pot is turning the P letters into popcorn)

P Trainer: We are the letter P, and the sound we make is "puh".

Rooms Q, R, S, and T
(scene shows the interior of the Q room)

Professor Quigley: Class, in addition to Tad joining us today, we have two guest speakers: Dicky Duck and Molly Mallard.

(shows Tad sitting with the duck-billed Q letters)

Tad: Wow! Cool.

Professor Quigley: They will be discussing the sound of the letter Q. Please, Molly! Begin!

Molly Mallard: Q, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

Dicky Duck: Q? Quack, quack, quack.

Molly Mallard: Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

Dicky Duck: Quack? Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!

The S letters press the record button. The snake makes the recorded S sound like a snake and when the S letters press the stop button, everyone gives applause to the snake)

Leap: Okay, We're agreed that a big special effects smoke machine is probably not the best idea.

——————————(the scene above this line is cut from the Leapster version)———————

Tad: It is?!

U Trainer: The letter U makes the sound of "uh".

U letters: Uh!

U Trainer: Class, open your umbrellas.

Professor Quigley:

This is Tad and he is here to learn about the W. (writes a W on a slate board)

W Trainer:

Wuh, Wuh. When I played over here, the room it starts to shake. In my ear, what I found, it's the sound that you make.

W letters:

Wuh, Wuh, Wuh. Wuh, Wuh, Wuh, Wuh, Wuh.

Tad:

Wuh, Wuh, Wow! This learning letter stuff is fun! Thanks!

W Trainer:

You are "wuh" welcome, Don't you know?

Professor Quigley:

Tad: Hey, I can see inside myself!

Professor Quigley: Here, we use X-rays to teach the X sound, no bones about it. (four X letters appear) The X makes the sound of "x", as in "Box" or "Fox". Give it a try!

Professor Quigley: (whispering) He has learned them all from A to Z.

Leap: He wanted to be part of the presentation, and, well I think I was too hard on him. Hey, I have an idea.

(Leap whispers into Lily's ear, then Lily walks to the bed Tad is sleeping on)

Lily: Tad, wake up! We have a big problem!

Tad: Yes, I'm your problem. Don't worry, I won't get in the way at your presentation.

Lily: That's just it! Leap has lost his voice and we need your help! (Leap pretends to struggle to speak silently) You know all of your letters, right?
