Submit Your Proposal: A Disney Animated Movie

I wrote a short story in elementary school called "The Last Dog Scouts" that featured our pets fighting a secret war against the wild animals. I redid the story a little for a mythology class in college and the professor thought I should flesh it out more and take it to a publisher for a Disney-type story. Of course, graduate school and my innate laziness stopped that from going any further.

Disney needs a good animated sports movie, maybe about baseball or football.

I was going to wait for some responses, but this is one of my ideas, Soccer to be exact only to go with 1) Changing Demographics 2) The MLS 3) Worldwide Appeal

Could sell a ton of merchandise as well. Heck, Partner with FIFA and do it. Make that the Cup mascot for said Year.

Disney has a stellar catalog of Sports movies, especially for kids. It's weird that they never had a real animated sports film.

ducks and geese.

basically to kill a mockingbird mashed with the ugly duckling.


ducks put the ugly mofo on trial for not being like them, want to kick him out of their flock because he's ugly/different, not because he's accused of rape. maybe he was accused of eating too much bread at the park, and only the pretty ducks could eat that much. it ends with the goose being the swinging dick. jgl will definitely voice finch, uggo's lawyer.

animated version of "the Scout?"

1. Title: Finding Boudreaux

2. Inspiration: C

3. Characters: Boudreaux the Crawfish, Ants, field mice, squirrels

4. Description of Opening Sequence: loving community of crawfish are farmed and sold to a Cajun family having a crawfish boil for child's birthday

5. Description of Story Arc: captured, Boudreaux fails out the bag in nearby woods, his adventure to prevent boil and save family

6. Fun Extras: Boudreaux witnesses children making his family gouge each others eyes out with their claws for fun before boil, Boudreaux fails to save family hearing their screams as they are boiled. This changes him.

Kids Twist: slowly starving to death, Boudreaux has to eat the boiled pieces of his family as they fall of the table, he then transforms into a hardened killer with the film ending with Boudreaux bathing in his family's pile of disposed crawfish carcasses on the wood line

Credits

Has anything been based on Merchant of Venice before? I think Disney going the anti-semite route would be glorious meta irony.

havent they been going this route since the beginning?

I want a return to basics and dip into the well of the Golden age of Disney: Grimm's.

Title: The Enchanted Forest. Make it clear we're going back to snow White/Sleeping Beauty.

Inspiration: Grimm's Three Little Men in the Woods. What's great about this is that the tale has three story parts (I'd probably cut the first). Here's a refresher: LINK

Gruesome, huh? Yeah, we're changing all the killing parts. Sorry.

Characters: The stepdaughter, our heroine. We're changing the three men to three fairies. The gifts will change slightly. I'm getting rid of the gold falling out of her mouth and giving her a more beautiful voice. So she gets beauty, songs, and the future love of a king.

Evil stepmother and her daughter: I think I'm gonna make the daughter the primary villain, he manipulates her mother to be crueller and crueller to our heroine.

The hapless father: poor guy.

The king: You know it. Like a boss.

Description of Opening Sequence: Told in song, of course, it will be the first part of the fable, just to get the exposition out of the way. She loses her mom and her freedom, and becomes the new Cinderella, pre fairy godmother, in five minutes primarily due to the jealousy of her new stepsister. Oh yeah, I can't stress this enough: SMALL WOODLAND CREATURES. We haven't had all of the animals of the forest trailing our heroine's inate goodness in 50 years. Primary color palette.

Description of Story Arc: Evil stepmom sends stepdaughter into the enchanted forest to pick strawberries in the winter which, of course, is impossible. She finds the fairies, who see her eating her crumbs of bread, who ask for some. She shares. To thank her for kindness, they give her the gifts listed above plus strawberries! Evil stepsister gets jealous, goes out to find fairies but won't share. She gets cursed with ugliness, cracking voice, and lonliness. King meets heroine, falls in love, marries her. Which sets up Act Two. Seriously, read the link.

Fun Extras: OK, did I mention small woodland creatures? And a talking duck? Also, and this is important, the stepdaughter gets her king back through her own agency. She has to break into the castle and all of that. I don't want things to happen to her, she has to be an agent of action. And when she reveals herself at the end, instead of issuing whatever punishment the dopple-daughter came up with (and we need her to cast a counter spell to deal with the ugly issue), our heroine forgives them. Well, she sends them back to their hovel, but she doesn't have them executed. And she rescues her father.

Haven't worked it all out yet. But it helps that there are two acts. And that we have an honest to God princess who is saved by a duck.

Excellent Idea.




On a similar not, Disney have never messed with Brigadoon and I don't know why.
