1) I have watched all animation movies releases recently. Zootopia, Kung Fu Panda, all Disney and Warner Bros productions. Moana, Leap and so much more.
2) My favourite Anime will definitely be Moana.
3)Moana. Her resilience, her passion, her comittment to what inspires her. I like the idea of breaking past boundaries and setting goals, the music, the humour. It came together pretty nicely.
4) My favourite scene would be when she found the secret cave with her grandmother. The pure exhilaration she experienced conveyed a thousand messages.
5) This is a sample part of an animation script ai just finished working on.
EXT WOEMA’S CASTLE A FEW MOMENTS LATER
An agitated Anmar rushes into the castle. Grilo stands by the door, bent over. She snaps at him and orders him to bring her things.
ANMAR
What can I get the prince who already has everything?
What doesn’t he have, Grilo?
His people love him, he has all the riches, he is wise, he is strong, all the kingdoms respect him.
GRILO
Sounds like he has everything everyone would want.
Anmar scoffs. She turns to Grilo, her eyes blazing.
ANMAR
Not everyone. I want more than just some stupid people’s love. Love achieves nothing. I want their fear. When they fear you, they will do anything you ask of them.
Her eyes sparkle. She has a Eureka moment.
ANMAR (CONT’D)
Yes, that’s it! He needs the people to fear him. I will make the people fear him and when he tastes what that sort of power feels like, he will be begging me to marry him for my wisdom and love he has for me!
Anmar spins around dramatically.
ANMAR (CONT’D)
Quick, Grilo! Bring every spell book you can find. What can I give the prince that will capture his heart forever?
We see Grilo struggling with books as the lifts the and brings them into Anmar’s spell chambers. They pour over the books for a while. Grilo looks exhausted. Anmar, feverish with evil desire. After significant time has passed, Anmar opens a glowing spell book. She reads for a while. Her brows furrow. She reads aloud:
ANMAR (CONT’D)
To become the emblem of power, awaken the spirit of the most vicious and loyal dragon, Zolgon … you need a green Excalfix Lizard from the Enchanted Forest. When this lizard is soaked in white pepper with a splash of ginger say the spell (insert spell) … this spell awakens the spirt of Zolgon. Call him into the lizard. It will grow in size. You have awoken the loyal and vicious to fight for you cause.
Amar shoots up. She points to the illustration of a lizard in the spell book.
ANMAR (CONT’D)
That’s it! Quick, Grilo. Go find this lizard and bring him back to me. Do not return till you find it or it will be your last night ever.
Anmar paces unsettled till Grilo returns from the forest, carrying the lizard in his pocket. She snatches the lizard from him and sets up the spell procedure.
Anmar chants over and over till the room become smoky and dark. As the smoke begins to clear we see the green lizard begin to grow in size and fierceness. It fills the room they are in. Anmar laugh hysterically. She keeps chanting, her excitement building. Grilo cowers in a corner looking worried.
After the beast has grown to a particular size, Anmar goes to him and tries to pet it. It growls for a bit but eventually submits to her. She gets an evil look in her eyes. Looking at grilo, she speaks quietly to Zolgon.
ANMAR (CONT’D)
Zolgon, bring him to me.
Grilo looks up, terrified. He starts to shiver as Zolgon charges towards him. When Zolgon gets closer, he attempts to pass under his belly and run. Zolgon breathes fire but instead of spitting it, let it rush to the part of his stomach where Grilo is underneath. Grilo screams as the heat burns his face.
ANMAR (CONT’D)
Hahahaha. Good boy, Zolgon. Leave him. Come let’s prepare for your grand day tomorrow.
Anmar walks out of the room with Zolgon in tow. They leave Grilo wimping on the floor, his face scarred.
IN BLACK:
EXT EMERALD ISLES EVENING
MONTAGE
We cut through a series of pictures with people of emerald isles getting ready for the ball. There is buzz and excitement around the kingdom.
EMERALD ISLE CASTLE A FEW MOMENTS LATER
We see several carriages pack in front of the castle. They are wonderful and beautiful carriages. People alight from the carriage looking regal and well dressed. The prince stands on the balcony of the great hall. Everyone bows as they pass him and are introduced. It is a wonderfully decorated hall and to the far end are tables bearing any and every kind of food. The people talk and laugh excitedly. There is African themed dances and the people celebrate their prince joyously. Tali walks towards Prince Tarafi and whispers into his ear.
TALI
So, what do you think, Your Highness?
PRINCE TARAFI
Uncle, this is over and beyond. Thank you for putting this together.
TALI
It was your people, Your Highness.
So, see all these beautiful women. Think one will catch your eye tonight, eh? Maybe repeat history?
PRINCE TARAFI
(laughing)
Uncle
