Open on a couple of kids sitting in front of the TV. One of them is slumped in a chair, the other lounges across the armrest. Suddenly, the chair comes to life and forcibly ejects them onto their feet. They're shocked, but soon recover. Cut to see them frolicking with the chair in a pool.

Cut to a girl sitting in front of a video game. Again, the chair animates, wrapping itself around her, and running out the door. Cut to see her playing basketball one-on-one with the chair in the driveway. She's got the ball and the chair is playing defence. Then she jumps up onto the chair and uses the extra height to make a basket. She celebrates with a little victory dance.

Cut to another kid sitting in front of a computer, glued to the screen. Suddenly his chair comes to life, spins him around and zooms him down the hall, then tips him out the door, onto his feet. Cut to see him playing handball against a wall with the chair. We see the words: GET MOVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE A DAY chalked on the pavement.

Cut to our chair character speaking to camera.

Cut to Government coat of arms.

Cut to three girls dancing around with the chair.

Cut to another kid in a living room. He picks up the remote and goes to sit down, but the chair suddenly scoots back, out of the way.
