Synopsis

Squiglet uses a straight line to squiggle an Ostrich called Ozzie who wishes he could fly like all his other bird friends. Squiglet squiggles Ozzie's home on the African Plain, and sure enough, there go all the other birds, flying by.

Squiglet tries to help by squiggling him an aeroplane. Ozzier thinks this might be the answer but even when he's swooping through the clouds, he still knows that it's not the same as how his friends fly and it's bit noisy too! When they land, they spot an elephant flying a big, red kite. That gives Squiglet an idea - maybe Ozzie can attach himself to the kite! But even though Ozzie manages a few little airborne moments still he comes back down to earth every time the wind drops.

In the end, the Squiggle Pad gives them the clue - they need circus! Squiglet squiggles one, and when they go inside the big top tent, they see just what Ozzie needs - a flying trapeze! Soon, all his friends arrive to watch Ozzie swinging through the air. He's Ozzie the Incredible, the world's one and only flying ostrich.

Welcome to Squiglet's world. It's plain white, but it doesn't stay that way for long! With the help of a magical set of crayons called Squiggle Sticks, friendly monster Squiglet shows us how to draw colorful characters. When Squiglet and the viewers sing the magic words together, the characters leap off the page and come to life.
