Tree Fu Tom

For the first time ever, Tom can’t do the moves for a Tree Fu magic spell. His struggles to find a way to avoid further failure only compound and escalate the problem; as a broom and Zigzoo’s Wagon both brought to life by a magic potion run riot around Treetopolis. Tom learns that if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again; each time you try, you get a little better.

Squirmtum feels that the sap mining and delivery job is rubbish and is made to feel inferior by Tom and friends so he decides to try out Tree Fu magic to become Treetopolis’ new super hero, causing more harm than good.

A magical Golden Spore released from the Great Gnomestool grants everyone’s angry wishes during an argument; each character having one of their key traits removed or reversed. They then have to embark on a quest to find another golden spore to reverse the wishes, set against Puffy (Stink is turned good) and having to cope with the consequences of their wishes. They all learn to appreciate each other more; after all, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

Tom and Twigs are desperate to get their Super Helper Badges and quickly become over stretched trying to help everyone who asks as soon as they ask, never seeing any job through and each job descending into chaos.

On a hot day in Treetopolis, Tom and Twigs are more intent on enjoying Frosty Berry Smoothies than clearing Warble Weeds from Ariela’s Ranch.

Searching for new fungus to complete his Fungopedia fungus-identifying invention with the Tree Fu Rangers, Zigzoo discovers a strange fungus.

At Spell School, Chezz taunts Twigs about his size; he’s the smallest Sprite. Feeling he has something to prove, Twigs ropes Tom into a competition against Chezz to collect sparkle spores for Treetog’s Sparkle Show in the Fungus Forest.

The Tree Fu Rangers are on Ariela’s Ranch today, trying to win their ‘Green Fingers’ Badge. Much to the apprehension of his friends, Tom plants some carrot seeds he’s brought from the big world and they grow huge! Try as they might, they can’t pull them up. Unknown to his friends, Zigzoo rushes off to create an invention to help and starts pulling the carrots down from underground with his new Harvesting Hands invention (a wearable frame with two Helping Hands controlled by joysticks). This sparks fear in the Treelings who thinks the carrots are alive and out to get them. Their fear is fuelled as Zigzoo causes a cave in which creates a sinkhole above that Ariela falls into. Though Tom saves her with Big World Magic, Zigzoo then decides to blast the carrots upwards instead and this only adds to Tom’s problems as he tries to reassure his panicked friends that there must be a rational explanation. As the giant carrots rain down, the Treelings fear drives them into a dangerous part of the caverns where they encounter Zigzoo in his wearable invention covered in debris and broken carrot from the cave-in. In their panic to escape this ‘carrot monster’ they unleash a torrent of sap from a blocked cave and only Tom’s Big World Magic can save them. As the flood subsides the Treelings see that the carrot monster is actually Zigzoo and understand what has happened; the carrots are just harmless vegetables after all and actually tasty too. Tom wins his Green Fingers Badge and heads home.

Tom and Twigs feel that they’re ready for bigger things and are excited when Treetog decides to teach them a new tricky spell that can be used to control the magic of an enchanted scroll that brings into being whatever is drawn on its pages. Tom and Twigs feel underwhelmed by the lesson which involves picking up loads of scattered slimeweed seeds in a particular way and decide that they’re ready to use the scroll without the controlling spell. They draw a new vehicle to collect the seeds but soon realise that they’re not as clever as they think; first missing off something to collect the seeds in, then getting sucked into the collection hopper (only getting out with Big World Magic help) then falling into a trap set by the Mushas who are desperate to plant the seeds and grow slimeweeds all over the castle! Adding and using more and more features to the machine before they’re ready or know how to control them leads to further trouble as the machine is given wings and Twigs is left hurtling towards the pond on a collision course. Big World Magic turns the pond to jelly for a safe but messy landing and Tom and Twigs realise that they must complete the task Treetog set to clear up their mess. They find that the specific seed collection movements are the moves of the tricky spell and find that before they know it, they’ve mastered it and can send their chaotic invention back into the scroll.

Zigzoo borrows things from his friends without asking to create an invention to collect special Dragon Berries that are now at perfect ripeness.

It’s a bumper badge day at Tree Fu Rangers Club with three new badges up for grabs. Tom and Twigs are desperate to get more Tree Fu Ranger badges than Chezz who keeps taunting them that he has one more.

Stink accidentally finds the legendary Golden Crown of Greatness and becomes King of Treetopolis. Everyone except Tom, is caught up in the crown’s enchantment, which causes them to treat Stink like a great King and do anything he asks.

It’s Winterfest in Treetopolis – an event just like Christmas. Twigs can’t wait to show Tom the courtyard where there are presents, coloured lights (fireflies), crackers (cracker pods) and a Christmas Tree-shaped fungus.
