I once dreamed of being a screenwriter all because I have a super active imagination. Here is an idea I came up with for a stop action animated short film. Maybe I'll do it on YouTube I don't know. Here is one scene of Frank W. (Wild) Turkey. Frank is a Wild Turkey who is tired of turkeys being slaughtered every year for Thanksgiving Day meals. He has decided to save all the turkeys who are too dumb to save themselves. With his band of animals who serve various roles, Frank has a showdown with his nemesis Farmer Dell. Check it out let me know what you think.
EXT. Cornfield outside of living room window – NIGHT
FARMER DELL: Who’s out there? I said, who’s out there? (A LIGHT SHINES IN FRONT OF FARMER DELL REVEALING HUNDREDS OF WILD TURKEYS. A LONE WILD TURKEY STEPS FORWARD.)
FRANK: Hello Farmer Dell…
FARMER DELL: Frank, is that you? I told you never to step foot on my land ever again!
FRANK: We have a score to settle. I’m going to ask you once and only once, let my Turkeys go!
FARMER DELL: Frank you’re crazy. I told you before, these Turkeys are made for eatin’. This is my livelihood, and you or no other wild, ugly black Turkey is gonna tell me what to do. Now get off my land before I blast ya’ off!
FRANK: Ahhh Farmer Dell, Farmer Dell. You have yet to learn. You see, shooting me would only expedite my plan. We’re going to leave your land, but understand, I won’t ask you again to let my Turkeys go. The next time we meet, it won’t be on such cordial terms. You have no right to enslave turkeys no more than I have a right to enslave you and your family.
FARMER DELL:
Wait, is that a threat Frank? Are you threatening me and my family?
With what? You gone peck us to death?
FRANK: I wouldn’t threaten you, actually Dell, a threat is too good for you. Instead I’m gone promise you this, our next get together won’t be so nice. It will be like a thief in the night, and you won’t know what hit you.
FARMER DELL: Oh yeah, like the time you stole that broken down mill wagon and tried to kidnap my Turkeys. That was so funny, me and Farmer Grey still talk and laugh about it. Frank when are you gone get it through your simple, little brainless head, that this is the cycle of life.
