FADE IN.





.EXT-RAILROAD YARD-DAY





A train stops and SPOTTY, a talking cartoon dog, is being tossed out of the train by three hobos.





HOBO

Get out of here you damn mutt!





After being thrown out, Spotty slowly stands up and dusts himself off. Spotty looks straight into the camera breaking the fourth wall.





SPOTTY

Oh hello, I’m Spotty. Welcome to the movie. Oh, I guess I’m at my stop.





Spotty walks around the railroad yard.





SPOTTY

So I bet you’re wondering who I am and where we are? Well, I’m the narrator of this tale.





Spotty leans on a sign that says “Welcome to The Charming Kingdom” and takes a bite out of his apple.

SPOTTY

Here we are, The Charming Kingdom! Now it is time for me to tell you an interesting tale.





Spotty stands next to a wall with a poster advertising an upcoming sumo wrestling event.





SPOTTY

Here’s a hint.





Spotty points at FATERELLA, an obese white 20-something young woman with brown hair, who is one of the sumo wrestlers featured in the event.





SPOTTY

Yep, that’s Faterella. The main charater of this tale. Before I tell you her story, let’s have some fun, shall we?





Spotty walks up to another sign in the middle of the road that reads “Mr. We’s Carnival Next Right”.





SPOTTY

No, Faterella isn’t at Mr. We’s carnival, but another important character to this tale can be found there. Come on, follow me, as I tell you the tale of the Wild Man. You see, we need to learn the background of the man that Faterella will marry someday.





SOUND: CARNIVAL MUSIC





Spotty walks past posters advertising “Mr. We’s Carnival” and the posters become animated with scenes from the carnival’s rides and games.





SPOTTY

Of course I would enter the carnival to explain more, but I really don’t have money to buy a ticket. I’m a hobo so all we’ll get is these posters. Ads, aren’t they magical?





As Spotty continues walking past the freak show posters, the posters come to life. The posters advertise the freakish talents of the bearded lady, horned man and the sword swallower, among others.





Spotty walks by a poster with a moving image of MR. WE, an overweight man with a beard, smoking a cigar, and Mr. We begins to laugh.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

This happy fat man is Mr. We, the owner of the carnival where The Wild Man lives.





The poster of THE WILD MAN, a young man covered in hair wearing rags that are torn to shreds, becomes animated and The Wild Man is roaring loudly.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Here’s the thing, The Wild Man is basically forced to live in the carnival against his will because, well, he’s a freak. His parents sold him to Mr. We and Mr. We’s freaks are essentially slaves.





More posters come to life showing the handlers and Mr. We beating up the freaks.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Mr. We and his employees treat the freaks horribly because well, they look like monsters.





Additional posters of the freaks caring for each other are shown.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

But they aren’t monsters! They are all actually really nice and kind people.





A poster of MELTED GIRL, a young girl who looks like a burn victim, comes to life. She’s crying in the poster.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

This poor little girl is Melted Girl and she’s The Wild Man’s little sister. She wasn’t born different, but she’s an example of why it’s bad to play with fire.





Spotty is standing in-between the posters of the Wild Man and Melted Girl





SPOTTY (V.O.)

You see, these two have a secret. The Wild Man is actually a prince and Melted Girl is actually a princess. But the people of the Charming Kingdom have no idea they exist.





Next seen is a poster of ALFRED CHARMING, a handsome young man with a goatee, and EL KILLO, a Masked Mexican Wrestler, standing next to each other.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

The Wild Man and Melted Girl also have a brother named Alfred Charming. Alfred is handsome to the people of his kingdom, but a very average looking guy to you and me. Alfred Charming knows his siblings quite well because their parents, the king and queen, want them all to have a relationship.





Spotty picks up a magazine off the ground and on the cover is Alfred Charming.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Alfred Charming loves the fact that his siblings are locked up in a traveling carnival freak show. Since the Charming Kingdom doesn’t know about the other heirs to the throne, he gets all the power and fame and will do anything to keep it.





Spotty pulls out a business card for RIDDLE FOX, a floating magical talking fox wearing a wizard’s hat, whose photo happens to be on the card.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Then one night, when all hope seems lost, Riddle Fox, a very powerful wizard fox grants the wishes of Wild Man and Melted Girl. Riddle Fox is their fairy godfather and also a great teller of riddles.





The posters of the Wild Man and Melted Girl transform to posters of PRINCE CHARMING, a handsome young man, and MAY CHARMING, a cute young woman. When the transformation is complete Spotty snaps his fingers and crosses his arms to point at both the posters.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

They both wished to be normal, but Riddle Fox kind of over did it. He basically turned them into supermodels. From freaks to supermodels folks, it’s that crazy.





A poster of Alfred Charming laughing evilly is seen.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

But when his siblings become beautiful, Alfred Charming becomes evil. Alfred Charming is going to become a powerful dark wizard who will try to overthrow the kingdom.





Spotty points to a poster of El Killo who is in a fighting stance.





SPOTTY

Oh, and that masked wrestler who follows Alfred Charming is his bodyguard and loyal henchman El Killo. But wait a minute, wasn’t this story about Faterella? Well now that we’ve learned a little about the man Faterella will fall in love with, let’s go seven years into the future to see how they’ll meet.





Spotty walks down a path that leads into the Charming Kingdom from the railroad yard.





Riddle Fox appears out of nowhere and throws magic dust at the screen and he begins to laugh.





“Montage Sequence”





Faterella’s dream sequence.





--SCENE #1, FATERELLA, a thin young brown haired woman, is walking down a runway at a fashion show wearing a sexy swimsuit.





--SCENE #2, Faterella appears on a bunch of magazine covers and is being interviewed by reporters.

END MONTAGE/Faterella’s dream ends and she wakes up on the floor.





As Faterella wakes up she looks at herself in the mirror to sees her fat self looking back at her.





FATERELLA

I don’t understand, in my dreams I’m thin.





Faterella picks up a magazine with Prince Charming on the cover.





FATERELLA

And in my dreams I am loved.





Faterella walks around her bedroom a little and gets out of breath from walking because she is so out of shape.





Faterella eats a turkey leg with one hand while punching her punching bag with her other hand.





Faterella looks out her window to see the Charming Kingdom.





SOUND: Rooster crowing





FATERELLA

Time to start the day.





Faterella tries to go out her bedroom door but she’s too big and can’t fit out of the frame of the door.





Faterella is stuck inside her bedroom door and can’t move.





FATERELLA

Help! Can anyone help? I’m stuck again!





Faterella tries to get out but she’s completely stuck in the door frame.





Faterella snaps her fingers and suddenly, like magic she’s no longer stuck in the door frame and stumbles back into her bedroom.





Faterella binge eats from a big pile of food in the corner of her bedroom.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Faterella is a dreamer. She longs to be thin but, her demons which keep her from her goal. Otherwise, she is a kindhearted young woman with inner beauty. Where does a girl like this live? Well....





FADE TO BLACK.





FADE IN.





.EXT-THE CHARMING KINGDOM-MORNING





A huge castle stands a top of a hill with a small village below the castle.





In the small village we see villagers living their lives inside the Charming Kingdom.





We see a baker in his bakery, a blacksmith, a newsstand, a cafe, and villagers going about their day and other villagers working.





Children play around a statue of King Charming, climbing it until a castle guard tells them to get off of it.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Charming Kingdom. It’s pretty charming. Any who, after The Wild Man turned into the handsome Prince Charming, the kingdom welcomed him with open arms. Now the Charming royal family are basically celebrities throughout the land even appearing on magazine covers. Everyone loves Prince Charming, but as for his brother Alfred, not so much.





A huge old mansion with a barn in the backyard.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Here’s where Faterella lives. Pretty nice, a little old fashioned for my taste, but, hey I’m broke, so who am I to judge.





.INT-HUGE OLD MANSION-MORNING





Inside the attic of the old mansion we see NICK, a nerdy male teenager, sleeping in a crappy old bed.

SPOTTY (V.O.)

Hey, sleepy head. Time to wake up.





SFX: Rooster Crowing





Nick wakes up after hearing the rooster crow and Nick slowly walks over to his window.





Nick looks out his window and to see the rooster looking back at him.





NICK

I’m up. I’m up. Time to start the day.





Nick puts on his torn up, old clothes and puts on his glasses which are cracked in the corner of the lenses.





While Nick makes his bed, he is pricked by a nail in his bed and his finger bleeds a little.





“MONTAGE SEQUENCE”





Nick is doing his chores.





--SCENE #1, Nick is cleaning the chimney while birds are pooping on him and the chimney. Nick is covered in bird poop and ash.





--SCENE #2, Nick is washing a huge pile of dishes and midway through accidentally breaks a dish. Nick later sweeps the pieces of the dish up.





--SCENE #3, Nick is washing his clothes in a huge wooden bucket. Nick’s glasses are fogged up from all the steam. While washing clothes he accidentally rips a dress. He uses a piece of the ripped dress as a rag to dust a table.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

This kid is Nick. He lives with his stepmother, stepsisters, and his biological sister Faterella. Nick’s Mom died when he was a baby and as for his father, I wouldn’t say he’s dead but the kids think he is dead. It’s a long story.





END MONTAGE/ Nick pulls out a long list of chores and almost all of them are crossed off.





Nick prepares breakfast.





NICK

Alright, I cleaned the chimney, washed the clothes, swept the house, cleaned the windows, washed the dishes, and now I’ve got to make breakfast for everybody in the house, but me. Man, I wish that I could cook faster.





Nick snaps his fingers and the breakfast is magically prepared and ready to eat.





NICK

Wow! Where did that come from?? That is so weird, but pretty cool at the same time.





Nick grabs the breakfast trays while still shaking his head and slowly heads out of the kitchen.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

This is the first time that Nick realizes that he has magical powers. One day, Nick may become a great wizard. Spoilers, he will. Yeah, Nick is a very special child and he doesn’t even know it.





FADE OUT.





FADE IN.





.INT-OLD HUGE MANSION-MORNING





Nick climbs the huge staircase juggling trays of food.





Nick is outside his Stepmother’s bedroom door and slowly enters.





SPOTTY (V.O.)

Nick’s stepmother was once a very beautiful woman. As you can see, still kind of is. Think of cougars, not the big cats, but, never mind. Sadly, Nick’s stepmother hates his guts because she will never forgive Nick’s father for leaving her with his kids. Her anger and frustration with Nick’s father causes Nick’s stepmother to always treat Nick terribly. Man, this story sounds familiar.





Nick delivers her breakfast. NICK’S STEPMOTHER, a 50 something year old woman, is lying in bed waiting for him to serve her.





CUT TO.





Spotty sitting under a tree reading a book.





SPOTTY

Nick never had a good parental figure in his life. Let’s just say Nick’s stepmother and Nick’s biological mother hated each other. The two women have quite a history together.





Inside of the book Spotty is reading is a picture of NICK’S MOTHER, a nerdy thin young woman, being bullied by Nick’s Stepmother when they were in high school.





SPOTTY

Back when both the mothers were younger they were fighting for the attention of Nick’s father. Nick’s biological mother, like Nick himself, was geeky, while Nick’s stepmother was beautiful and popular. Nick’s stepmother hates Nick’s biological mother because she stole her man.





Inside the book Spotty’s reading we see Nick’s Mother and NICK’S FATHER, a tall strong young man, kissing each other.





SPOTTY

Originally Nick’s dad and stepmother had a love affair. One day out of the blue, Nick’s dad up and left his stepmother and married his mother.





Spotty flips the page and we see a picture of Nick’s Stepmother with her arms crossed.





SPOTTY

Nick’s stepmother was furious and determined to win Nick’s dad back. Soon after Nick and his sister were born, Nick’s biological mother died from suspicious causes.





Spotty flips the page in the book to a picture of Nick’s Father and Nick’s Stepmother on their wedding day.





SPOTTY

This gave Nick’s stepmother, now with small children of her own, the opportunity to swoop in and win back the love of Nick’s dad.





Spotty closes the book and looks directly at the audience.





SPOTTY

Unfortunately, Nick’s stepmother did not get her happily ever after. To everyone’s misfortune, Nick’s father fell ill and died.





CUT TO.





Nick hands his Stepmother her breakfast.





STEPMOTHER

Breakfast in bed again? Thank you, Nick.





NICK

As you command, master.





STEPMOTHER

Don’t you mean mother.





NICK

Yes, I guess. Do you know what’s coming up soon?





STEPMOTHER

Don’t care. Now hurry and bring breakfast to your sisters.





NICK

Okay. Anything else master?





STEPMOTHER

Get out.





NICK

Okay.





FADE OUT.
