Episode 1/25:
A regular movie goer in the past, Leeloo’s favourite movie of all time is The Little Mermaid!

But it feels like a very long time since Leeloo last went to the movies, so she accepts a one-week free trial to stream online movies. The only problem is that she has to choose just one of the many categories of movies to watch during her free trial.

After careful consideration, Leeloo decides she will choose the category of movies that includes underwater, ocean, island and beach themes.

This category especially appeals to Leeloo, because her annual seaside holiday has had to be postponed this year, and she wants to cram as much summer fun into her week of movies as she possibly can!

When Leeloo logs into PetFlix and enters his category, she is awarded 25 tokens to use for 25 movies. Manzie is not even remotely surprised that the first movie Leeloo settles down to watch is the re-make of The Little Mermaid!

Episode 2/25:
When Leeloo tunes into Petflix to watch a Flipper re-run, she is delighted to receive a pet octopus just for logging in a second time! The little octopus tells Leeloo that its name is “Channel Surfer”, or “Chan” for short. Leeloo invites Chan home to share her couch and her popcorn (but not her remote control, about which Leeloo is understandably possessive!).

Episode 3/25:
After playing "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" to decide what to watch next, Leeloo and Chan settle in to enjoy Storm Boy. Leeloo is especially excited to watch the PetFlix version, because the trailer says there are no duck shooters in any PetFlix movies, and she can’t wait to find out what happens to Mr Percival at the end!

However PetFlix has another surprise in store for Leeloo! A special login reward of a spiky little slug! Winking at Chan, the slug tells Leeloo that its name is “Binge”, and that it loves watching movies (hint, hint), so Leeloo invites Binge home, warning him that although she will share her couch, popcorn and movies, she never shares the remote control!

Episode 4/25:
Leeloo dims the lights, while Chan positions the popcorn on the coffee table, and Binge makes sure the remote control is back on the arm rest of Leeloo’s chair, where it is supposed to be all of the time! The three friends wriggle their butts to get comfortable, before hunkering down for a long session of Binge’s favourite activity. Bingeing!

Leeloo lets rip a rather high pitched squeal when she discovers PetFlix has the entire series of Board Watch available for streaming (or steaming?), starring David Cockelhoff and Lisa Henderson in their skimpy feathers!

Episode 5/25:
Once evening falls, and the friends’ plankton pizza has been delivered and devoured, Leeloo begins surfing the menu for a late night thriller or horror movie, and she finds two tidal wave movies to choose from: The Petseidon Adventure and 2012. Binge looks askance at Leeloo, stomping his spikes and insisting they watch both! Fearing Petza Hut had slipped some red cordial into the tomato sauce on their pizza, Leeloo hurriedly agrees, suspecting that Binge will not fall asleep any time soon!

Episode 6/25:
Handing her little friends a hat each to get them into the mood for their next tale, Leeloo puts a rather rustic looking coconut cream pie and a hand of bananas onto the coffee table. Taking up the remote control, Leeloo begins singing “Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…” as she tunes into Series 1, Episode 1 of one of his favourite television shows on PetFlix. Gilligan’s Island!

Episode 8/25:
Electing to continue to face their fears head on and grow as pets, the earnest friends select a philosophical story of survival and faith for their next movie!

Having read the book, Leeloo is a little disappointed with the movie version of Life of Pi. But Chan and Binge are captivated by the tiger, and wishing to appear brave, they tell Leeloo they wish she had invited one to join them on the couch for this viewing. Be very careful what you wish for, little pets, because pet tigers are much BIGGER than they look on Leeloo’s screen and they are carnivores!

Episode 9/25:
Wishing to continue to face their deepest fears from the safety of Leeloo’s comfy sofa, the friends choose a movie about growing up for their next viewing.

PetFlix transports them to a magical world of fairies, flight and good triumphing over evil! Chan and Binge are enchanted with Petter Pan! Looking at each other, Binge thinks that Chan’s bright green outfit would be a perfect fit for the part of “Petter Pan” and Chan thinks Binge's appearance would be perfect for “Stinkerbell” in the local stage show!

Episode 10/25:
Leeloo, Chan and Binge all sit on the edge of their seats, biting their paw nails down to the quick, as the deep sea salvage team are attacked by a giant mutant monster, one after the other, after recovering some of the contents from the shipwreck Leviathan!

Leeloo races to her bedroom, to grab a pillow to bury her face in during the scariest parts, while Chan grips Binge tightly with all eight of his tentacles, and Binge’s spikes all stand to attention in “fight or flight” mode!

Episode 11/25:
After listening to Chan sonorously singing “My Heart Will Go On” in the shower, Leeloo decides to surprise Chan by choosing Titanic for their next PetFlix movie! Ever helpful, Binge pops the corn, and places a few neatly folded handkerchiefs on the coffee table next to the popcorn.

Episode 12/25:
When Binge asks Leeloo if they can watch “the Nemo movie” next, Leeloo searches for “Nemo” on PetFlix. The first PetFlix search result (in chronological order) is submarine Captain Nemo in the 1954 movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Binge is more than a little miffed when an old black and white movie fills the screen, but disaster is quickly averted when Leeloo promises Binge they will “watch the other Nemo movie next!”

Episode 13/25:
Leeloo transports Chan and Binge “down under” with a special viewing of Finding Nemo. Binge feels that he can relate to Nemo, because some fish consider Binge’s appearance a little unusual! Binge also thinks that Chan resembles Dory, because Chan forgot to pop the corn, an unforgivable breach of movie watching etiquette! On the other hand, Leeloo is too busy weeping to think much at all, except to feel grateful she has flood cover for her home and contents!

Episode 14/25:
Leeloo flicks through the PetFlix menu, looking for something light and funny to lift their spirits, and selects Splash. This is an easy choice for Leeloo, who has a secret pet crush on The Little Fox’Maid, cast in the lead role in the PetFlix remake of the original 1984 film!

Episode 15/25:
A fan of the classics and of action and adventure, Chan gets to choose the next movie. Chan can relate to the hero in Moby Dick, because Chan himself has had a couple of close encounters with killer whales, and he is very much attached to all eight of his own lovely long tentacles!

Episode 16/25:
Chan and Binge grow restless when Leeloo can’t make up her mind what movie she wants to watch next, and keeps flicking backwards and forwards between the animated Yellow Submarine and the old black and white war movie The Frogmen.

Binge sighs very loudly, hoping that Leeloo will take the hint and settle on one movie or the other, before Chan has to put his tentacles to good use tying Leeloo up, while Binge takes over the remote control!

Episode 17/25:
Leeloo plays a guessing game with Chan and Binge, giving them clues about what their next movie is. Their first clue is that it is Disney’s first animated science fiction film. Their second clue is that it was released in 2001. Their third and final clue is that it stars Michael J Fox.

Binge whispers to Chan, asking him if Michael J is one of the foxees in Liron’s collection? “No, silly,” Chan whispers back, “He’s a vertically challenged hooman actor!”

“Oh,” says Chan, bouncing up and down on the sofa, “I think I know what it is! Is it Atlantis: The Lost Empire?".

Episode 18/25:
Hoping to even the score, Binge demands another guessing game for their next movie! Leeloo capitulates and for their first clue advises that this is a Warner Brothers film. Their second clue is that it was released in 2018. And their third and final clue is that it stars Daenerys Stormborn’s late husband. It is clear that Chan knows the answer, but politely refrains from blurting it out, to give Binge a chance to guess it. Fortunately Binge is a Game of Thrones fan, and he was actually terrified of the big scary dude Daenerys married, so he paid attention when he saw him in the trailers for Aquaman!

Episode 19/25:
The friends all agree their next movie should be one about sunken treasure, so Leeloo searches PetFlix for action movies about sunken treasure. After viewing a few trailers, they agree that The Deep looks like “an oldie but a goodie” and make themselves comfortable with extra large bowls of popcorn!

Episode 20/25:
Looking for another old movie to watch, the friends spot the trailer for the submarine spy movie Fantastic Voyage on PetFlix, and decide to give it a try. But the movie creeps Binge out so much, he hides under the sofa and refuses to come out for the rest of the night!

Episode 21/25:
Surfing PetFlix for an action film with a nice moral to it, Leeloo finds the trailers for Robinson Crusoe, and Binge jumps up and down with excitement! Leeloo and Chan make eye contact over Binge’s head, and Chan winks at Leeloo, thinking the older pets will probably get a bit more out of the movie than Binge. But then, isn’t a good movie just like an onion? With enough layers to satisfy different viewers with different desires and expectations?

Episode 22/25:
Binge enjoyed their last shipwreck movie so much, that he pleads with Leeloo for another one! Raising one eyebrow (mistaking herself for Tom Selleck, perhaps?), Leeloo looks a question at Chan, who whispers “Wilson” back at Leeloo. Fortunately Leeloo experiences a rare lightbulb moment, and she quickly finds Castaway on the PetFlix menu, and clicks Play!

Episode 23/25:
“Your turn to choose the next movie, Chan,” Leeloo generously offers. Chan is delighted, fearing that Leeloo’s free movie tokens would run out before the friends got around to watching the PetFlix remake of The Octopi Family Robinson! And PetFlix has a very special offer for the first 100 viewers of their new movie! Their very own super sized Octopus! Chan is ecstatic, and Leeloo is pretty pleased as well! But Binge thinks one octopus is enough for any family, and silently wishes PetFlix was offering free steak knives instead!!!

Episode 24/25:
In the trailers from their last movie, Leeloo notices that PetFlix has also just released a sequel to Pirates of the Petibbean, and wonders if there might be a very special offer for the viewers of this movie too? Surely not? But there was! And so, as one of the first 100 pet households to view the new movie, the friends win a glorious “Sunken Remains”, which would take pride of place in Leeloo’s front garden forever more!

Episode 25/25:
With only one free movie token remaining, the friends really, really want to end their movie-watching binge with something special! They sit around earnestly discussing their options, and have no difficulty agreeing that a “feel good” movie about a sea creature would be the perfect way to end things. So, in a rare act of trust, Leeloo allows Binge to push the play button, and Free Willy fills their screen!

And just as Jesse must farewell Willy at the end, we also need to farewell Leeloo now, and resume our Underwater Adventures with a new pet!
