Movie Pitch: Atlantis: The Lost Empire
  • View content
    • When I first saw Atlantis, I have to admit that it didn't strike me as much as it did now. I think it was mainly because it was a Disney movie, and by that time Disney movies followed a similar, and comfortable, pattern; they were based on some kind of fairy tale story and there were songs. Atlantis however broke the pattern; this was based on a collection of beliefs rather than a book and there were no songs whatsoever. The movie was so different from what Disney offered that it made this feeling of discomfort grow in me as I expected something but it was not delivering.

    It was only later, when I rewatched it without any of the expectations that I recognized what a masterpiece this was; Disney was going out of its comfort zone and created something great...yet it was unfortunate that they tried this just when 3D animation was overcoming 2D animation, and they were going against Shrek of all movies. I think critics also did not understand what Disney was trying to do here (Though Ebert at least seemed to) and as such reacted the same way I did at first; with rejection and discomfort.

    This time, however, Lucasfilms does not have Disney's reputation (for good or ill) and while I do think we will be doing some Princess stuff (I refuse to let The Little Mermaid or Aladdin die or go to Disney) I believe that our movies will be varied enough so that people can enjoy them without being shoehorned.

    As such, I give you:

    A.N: You know, I do think this movie could help us in letting animation grow as a genre not only for kids but adults as well. It does have a more mature story and an interesting cast of characters that are fun to watch.

  • View content
    • Alright then, the first in what I hope can become a greater saga of movies about the American Experiment. I imagine this going with different point of views so that we can see how different segments of society, from both the Patriots and the British, saw the revolution, whether they sympathized with it or not, what were their reasons, and their actions which may have contributed to the end. Frankly, I enjoyed doing this; American History is one of my favorite areas of study, and it's been a while since I last read the material again.

    Now, I should mention, I envisioned this as a first in a series of movies, but also one that we would start in the 90's, so when seeing the actors chosen, please remember that. Also, I do believe that these movies should touch on the uncomfortable topics (I.E. Slavery) but as the first movie I have not touched upon it yet. I figure we could add another POV and show how the British offered slaves their freedom in exchange for them fighting against the colonists, and put some discussion there. I don't want to sidestep that entire mess, but neither do I want to make the entire movie revolve around it.

    Alright then, having said that I give you:

Though scared and somewhat naive, Hugh sees how the colonists truly feel about the British, and how different they are from his homeland.

    Played By: James Marsters
    Alternate: Brendan Fraser

    A.N: Though the movie would have the characters mentioned as the main point of view, that does not mean that other historical figures won't appear; Samuel Addams, Ethan Allen, William Pitt, Lord Admiral Richard Howe, Richard Knox, King George III, etc., etc., Many of these historical figures (and perhaps more) of the time will make an appearance, or at least be mentioned, during the saga of films in order to give a more through picture of what happened. This movie is set during the five years between the Boston Massacre and the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. Because of that, I see this movie being in length closer to either LotR or Avatar.

    • Movie Pitch: Maiden of Orleans
  • View content
    • TITLE: Maiden of Orleans
    GENRE: War/Epic
    SUBGENRE: Biopic
    FORMAT: Movie
    BASIC PROMPT:

    The movie is about the life and death of Joan of Arc, patron Saint of France. The movie begins with an opening crawl explaining the history of the Hundred Years War, how England and France have gone to war numerous times over control of France with recent events creating a scenario where France was doomed to fall as the nation was divided into three between England, France and Burgundy with the young Charles VII having succeeded his mentally ill father following civil war with many doubting his right to rule while the French are on the ascendance.

    The movie then shifts focus to a young Joan of Arc who is a simple peasant girl, helping her mother to raise the family and tend to the farm while her father helps tend to the running of the village. The tranquil scene is ruined as a band of English brigands raid Joan's village and while few were killed, the cattle was stolen and much of the land ruined. Anti-English sentiments rise greatly and in the aftermath Joan has her first vision with the Archangel Michael. Michael consoles a grieving Joan and tells her that God is with the French people and that soon the Lord's champion will arise to lead France to salvation and victory. Joan asks who this hero is, Michael promises that she will know when God tells her so.

    Joan continues to have many more visions of the Saints, actively conversing with them as a friend similar to how Jesus spoke with men of the past. Some time passes and a prophecy is spreading throughout the French countryside that a virgin chosen by God shall rally the banners of France and expel the English. Joan hears God telling her that she is the maiden and gives her a holy mission to liberate France. Empowered, Joan travels with her uncle to a nearby town, declaring herself to be the virgin that shall come to France in its time of aid and petitions the garrison commander Robert de Baudricort to let her help. The commander believes she is delusional and sends her away. In the aftermath, Burgundy soldiers come and pillage the lands in conquest, driving Joan and her family from their homes. The people of Joan's village believe that the attack happened because the French Army did not welcome Joan as their Champion, beginning the belief that she's God's anointed. Joan travels to Doremy to plead to Baudricort once more to let her fight. Baudricort still believes she is delusional but men affiliated with Charles II of Lorraine, Jean de Metz and Bertrand de Poulengy are in attendance and believe Joan to be holy and just. Joan travels to the court of Charles II where he hopes Joan can aid him in healing his illnesses. Joan states she has no power and questions why God should aid an adulterer, something Joan should have no knowledge of.

    Meanwhile, the tide of the war continues to go worse for the French as the English and Burgundians continue to conquer the countryside with victory after victory. The French site of coronation Reims is captured by Burgundy, further damning Charles in the eyes of his people as he cannot be coronated. All that is left for victory for the Ango-Burgundian forces is the capture of Orleans. Once it falls, there is nothing to stop France from falling. Charles prays to God in agony, desperately pleading for a savior for his Kingdom. Joan then at the same time receives a vision from Michael, instructing her to go to the side of the Dauphin Charles and lend her aid. Joan returns to meet with Robert, Bertrand and Jean at her side as companions after having becoming friends with her. With the tide of the war worsening after the last two times he rejected Joan, a still skeptical Robert relents and provides Joan passage to the Dauphin with an escort. To protect her identity, Joan wear's men's clothes and cuts her hair, beginning her legend but also damning her.

    Joan travels to the Royal Court in Chinon where she meets with Charles. Charles is intrigued by Joan and the two share a private conversation in his chambers where Charles in a moment of weakness reveals that he is starting to lose faith in God as he has not answered his prayers and France is falling, wondering what he and his ancestors did to be damned so. Joan tells him to keep to his faith, that Charles has never lost God's love or favor and that he should never question his lineage for he is the trueborn son of Charles VI and the rightful King of France. Charles has Joan conduct a number of tests by theologians, who while unable to prove definitively that she is the prophesized savior, admit that she fits much of the criteria and that there is nothing about her that is unholy. Joan spends a great deal of time with the common French people and nobles along with Jean and Bertrand. Her unwavering faith in the Lord and her Kingdom inspires everyone she meets, spreading faith in Joan and her righteousness.

    Joan is then commanded by Charles to go to Orleans to aid the campaign. Traveling with her companions, she arrives to a besieged city and is greeted by a desperate Jean de Dunois. Dunois has done his best to hold the siege and throw back the English but all of his efforts collapse and the English continue to press him. Seeing the enthusiasm that the people have for Joan, Dunois sends her to the battlefield to act as a figurehead with her presence greatly raising the morale of the troops. While meant to just carry the banner, Joan starts giving orders and strategic suggestions to the officers and lords, who in desperation agree as all else is lost. A series of battles then commence with Jean de Metz acting as the main point of view for the fighting while Joan as historically accurate stays with the generals and instead of directly participating, gives orders in tactics and suggestions. Joan's strategy proves to be wise as the French are constantly on the offensive and with a seemingly divine fervor continue to push back the English and win assault after assault. Often Joan is near the front lines, carrying the banner of France. At the final assault she is wounded by a crossbow, but instead of retreating she stands tall, inspiring the troops to finish the fight and thus save Orleans. Word of Joan spreads across all of France, with the French considering her a living angel and the English a demon or a witch consorting with Satan.

    Joan then embarks on the Loire campaign at Charles' orders, serving alongside John II, Duke of Alencon. This time there is no skepticism or hesitation with John completely trusting Joan and often acting at her orders, placing full faith of her with the Army high and low seeing her as their leader and savior. Joan advises an aggressive campaign and the French win victory after victory, even at times when Joan is not present as her story and character inspire the men enough to outwit and overwhelm the English. Back at the court of Henry VI, there is heavy debate over Joan of Arc and if she is a satanic witch or a true servant of God. Henry considers making peace with France, but Bishop Pierre Cauchon pushes him to continue the war, confidently declaring that Joan is a heretic and that the French victories are merely a test by God for England's righteous pursuit of the war which they must not lose.

    Joan then participates in a march on Reims as a head of a grand army with John II. The French continue to win victory after victory, often without a fight. After the victory at Troyes, Charles VII is crowned as King with Joan playing a special role in the ceremony, proclaiming at the end that God's will has been done. Joan then heads out with the Army to continue the liberation, marching on the city of Paris. Joan and John try to push for a quick and aggressive march, but divisions in court and negotiations with Burgundy prevent it. It is during this time that Charles begins to form a rift with Joan as the constant victories make him cocky and arrogant, believing himself to be mainly responsible while he also grows fearful of Joan usurping his authority as he knows the people love her more. Joan and John attempt to siege Paris, but the battle is constantly sabotaged by Charles and his poiticking court while the English under John Lancaster have adapted to Joan's tactics and bravely stand their ground. During an assault, Joan is wounded by an arrow to the leg and in the confusion is separated by her companions. The missing sight of Joan demoralizes the French while Joan alone and in pain crawls desparetely back to French lines. After the assault, Charles orders a retreat, seeing Paris as lost. Joan argues that they can still win and God will be with their side if they continue, but Charles sees Joan as suicidal with her luck having run out, but Joan replies she won by faith. The failure of Paris weighs heavy with the nobles turning against Joan, and Charles dismisses Joan from the main army, forbidding her from working with John II again.

    Joan's fortune falls from this point as she tried to lead multiple campaigns as part of minor forces to mixed success, incurring more defeats against England and Burgundy. The nobility lose faith in Joan, seeing her divine favor as at an end and some questioning if she had any at all, while in reality Joan's losses are because they have turned their back on her, and thus God. Joan's family is rewarded with greater nobility and advancement, with Charles trying to use this as an opportunity to get rid of Joan who he sees as a nuisance by marrying her off. Joan refuses, protecting her virginity and stating it shall not pass until her mission is completed. The two argue over who is right and who is at fault for recent events, with Joan tearfully storming off, their friendship at an end. Desperate to regain God's favor, Joan leads a mission against Burgundy on her own. While she gains some victories, without royal support thanks to Charles' anger over her going rogue, the army disperses and Joan and her remnants are defeated and captured by the Burgundians. England and Burgundy rejoice over the victory, with a scheming Pierre plotting to cement Joan's downfall and further his political ambitions manipulates Burgundy to hand her to English custody.

    Joan then undergoes a kangaroo court under the English, with Pierre attempting to damn Joan from the beginning of blasphemy by wearing men's clothing and guilt of demonic visions, rigging it by ignoring all of the usual traditions such as placing the trial in the authority of the Church and making it secular and often ignoring the rules of procedure.. Joan bravely stands her ground and refuses to be intimidated, openly preaching of her faith and devotion to God and of the visions she was given. Joan takes control of the court and makes many English nobles skeptical or believing, including John Lancaster. Knowing the situation is going out of control, Pierre tries to end it in a political victory for England by pushing Joan to renounce her wearing of men's clothes and no longer bear arms in exchange for her freedom. Joan signs it, but nothing is done of her visions, proving to many that she is indeed holy.

    While Pierre is initially content to let this go, dark and unholy influences drive him to madness and wrath, demanding that Joan be put to death. Pierre sends his men to beat and abuse Joan, coercing her to wear men's cloathing, and thus be a lapsed blasphemer. Pierre presents this as proof Joan is a witch and servant of Satan. He then tries to blackmail Joan by offering clemency in exchange for renouncing her divinity. With Michael and the other angels and saints at her side, Joan refuses and says that her wearing men's clothes is not wrong and her cause is just. Pierre uses this as the smoking gun of sorts and tricks the judges into condemning her to execution.

    In her death scene Joan is dragged and humiliated to the pyre, looked down with scorn and jeers by everyone present in a visual manner that's meant to evoke similarities to the passion, all celebrate her death save for John who turns away, refusing to be present for injustice such as Pontius Pilate. Tied to the post and it about to be lit, all while she's begging for them to stop, and then as it starts to be lit and the fire spreads, she keeps shrinking back and into herself trying to avoid the flames in vain. Eventually they start catching onto her and she begins screeching out in pain and fear, and is desperately calling to God in her mind and begging to be saved, all the while the people around her are cheering it all on with her supporters in the crowd in secret watching it all happen. As she's dying, she eventually sees an angel coming down from the heavens and towards her and takes her head in her hands and as Joan closes her eyes and allows herself to die, seemingly in peace, her body begins to be well and truly consumed by the flames. The epilogue explains what happened afterwards and as consequence, historically. It shows Joan's retrial with the Pope and Catholic Church declaring her innocent of all crimes then cuts to modern day with Pope Pius IX declaring her a Saint and a shot of the Notre Dame celebrating Joan on her feast day.
    Joan of Arc- The protagonist and hero of the movie, Joan is a noble and pure woman who believes deeply in God and follows him and the command of his angels and saints without question. Joan is very kind and virtuous, answering the call to action to save her family and her nation and often attempting to give the English mercy with offers of surrender. Joan is very wise and brilliant as a leader and inspires the French to action with high charisma and boldness. However, Joan can at times be fearful and confused and her stubborness can lead to her downfall such as her nonstop offense and her refusal to not wear men's clothes.

    King Charles VII- King of France Charles is a very multi-faceted and complex character. At the beginning there is a large degree of sympathy and pity for him as a down on his luck monarch desperate for a miracle. While Charles initally is a good and righteous King by following Joan, overtime the influence of those around him degrades his virtue and his hubris and sins of pride and envy turn him from Joan to whom she was once considered a friend.

    Jean de Metz- The "Everyman" of the movie, Jean is a simple and lowly knight who becomes inspired after meeting Joan and becomes one of her most steadfast followers and friends. Jean is the POV through which we see much of the battle scenes with Jean gallantly charging into the thick of the fighting, promising to be Joan's sword. Throughout the movie, Jean has a one-sided love for Joan, wishing she was his wife. While Joan cares deeply for Jean, she remains steadfast in her commitment to her virginity during her mission which Jean respects, with her death sending him into depression.

    Bertrand de Poulengy- Joan's other close companion, Bertrand is not as gallant and brave as Jean, being more of a leader and stratgist like Joan, advising her throughout her leadership and helping to manage supplies and logistics. He often serves as a source of comic relief but at the same time engages with Joan in deep discussions of philosophy and faith.

    Duke John II- One of the greatest generals of the French Army, John is a good friend and companion to Joan who treats her as his equal and relies upon her for strategic advance. John agrees with Joan completely and is willing to follow her to the ends of the Earth and back, but is unfortunately held by his duty to Charles.

    Prince John of Lancaster- The Uncle of Henry VI, John is a great general and a noble and good man. He is the representation of all that is good within the English cause, fellow Christians who just so happen to believe and be in devotion to their King. John is a competent statesman and soldier who carries out his duty. While he is loyal to his family above all else, he respects Joan and laments her downfall in the shame trial.

    Bishop Pierre Cauchon- The main antagonist of the movie, Pierre is a Frenchman who colludes with the English, seeing an English victory as his best method of securing ultimate temporal power. Pierre is essentially a live action Frollo, a self-righteous hypocrite who believes himself to be just and God's servant but is a very sinful and ambitious man. While never stated outright, there are various hints throughout the movie that Pierre is continuously corrupted by Lucifer and turned into an unknowing agent of evil.

    Supporting cast

    Archangel Michael-     An everpresent figure throughout the movie, Michael is God's messenger to Joan and is most often seen in her visions. Michael provides comfort, guidance and wisdom to Joan and helps Joan to begin to lead.

    Robert de Baudricourt- A French Captain in the beginning of the movie who turns Joan away twice out of disbelief that she is the prophesized virgin. He is a deeply cynical and bitter veteran, a man who while loyal to his country has trouble holding faith to God.

    Charles II of Lorraine- Charles the Bold, an old and fat man. He is one of the first of the nobility to believe in Joan's holiness, but cannot experience grace due to his lack of action and desire to remain in sin, setting up other figures who deny or abandon Joan.

    Jean de Dunois- The commander of the French forces at Orleans. Jean is at first heavily demoralized and on the verge of despiar but is inspired by Joan's example and begins to follow her with fervor.

    A/N: This pitch was done in cooperation with @Schehera Zade who came up with the original concept and ending and asked me to develop it into a full synopsis. Basic idea is to do a modern adaptation of Joan that will stand as timeless and create a great European Epic and a landmark film of both faith and feminism.

    • Conan the Barbarian Synopsis

    In a setting which is parallel to the Middle Ages lives a young Prince Lukas. Lukas is royalty of an unnamed Empire but is the youngest of many sons and thus not important to his father or his court. Lukas is sent to a remote province of the Empire to govern but he becomes bored and resentful of his duties. Chosing to instead explore the lands, Lukas stumbles upon and discovers the Tomb of Conan. The Prince is mystified and enraptured by the sight, wondering what kind of great warrior inhabits the tomb. The Prince shares the discovery with his court with only his Vizier knowing of the truth of what he has found. The two go through the tomb with the Vizier sharing with Lukas the legend of Conan, one of the greatest stories ever told that has been long forgotten, narrating the story to both Lukas and the audience.

    Centuries past in the Hyborean Age, A sword is forged by a blacksmith, who then shows it to his young son, Conan, as he tells him of the "Riddle of Steel", an aphorism on the importance of steel to their people, the Cimmerians. The Cimmerians are later massacred by a band of raiders led by Thulsa Doom; Conan's father is killed by dogs, and his sword is taken by Doom to decapitate Conan's mother, aided by Doom's entrancing gaze. The children are taken into slavery and chained to work a large mill, the Wheel of Pain. Conan survives into adulthood, becoming a massive, muscular man. His master eventually trains him to be a gladiator; after winning countless fights and receiving training and education in the East, Conan leads a slave revolt, killing his captors and freeing hundreds of slaves in his first great act of heroism. He is soon chased by wild dogs and seeks refuge in an Atlantean warrior's tomb, where he retrieves an ancient sword. Conan wanders the world, befriending Subotai, a cheerful Hyrkanian thief and archer, and Amon Thoth a bumbling and nervous wizard who has been shunned by his peers for his lack of magical talents, but is embraced by Conan as a friend.

    The trio form a band of adventurers and roam the lands taking on quests and challenges. In the Zamorian city of Arenjun, also known as the "City of Thieves," Conan drinks in a tavern. He overhears a Kothic rogue describe a fabulous jewel known as the "Heart of the Elephant," which is kept in a tower by an evil sorcerer named Yara. While Conan is at first ambivalent, he hears that Yara has recently aligned herself with Doom as one of his favored sorcerers. Remembering his trauma, Conan then becomes motivated to go after Doom andventures to Yara's estate with Subotai and Amon.

    Conan ventures into Yara's garden to steal the jewel and encounters Taurus of Nemedia, known as the "Prince of Thieves," who has the same agenda. Taurus is wily and fat, but amazingly agile. Impressed by Conan's daring, Taurus agrees to work together with the group. After battling lions in the tower gardens, the thieves ascend Yara's spire. Upon reaching the top, Taurus enters a treasure vault and is killed by the venomous bite of a giant spider. Conan crushes the spider with a chest of gems, then continues his search for the Heart of the Elephant. The trio then continue further into the tower, reaching an enchanted hall full of protective magics which Amon after some great struggle is able to counter and defuse, with the group entering the Heart.

    In the heart, Conan discovers a strange being with the body of a man and the head of an elephant. The creature, Yag-kosha, is a blind and tortured prisoner of Yara. Yag-kosha reveals to Conan through a ballad the pre-cataclysmic saga of his people, their arrival on Earth, and how he taught Yara the art of magic only to have his apprentice betray him. At Yag-kosha's request, Conan grabs the fabled jewel, kills the being, extracts the heart from his corpse, and drips its blood over the Heart of the Elephant with Amon performing a ritual of Yag-kosha's design. When Conan sets the blood-infused relic in front of Yara in his sleeping-chamber, the gem's magic shrinks and draws the sorcerer into the jewel. Inside, a revived Yag-kosha, limbs and wings restored, pursues the screaming Yara, and the Heart vanishes. The trio then escape the tower after battling Yara's cult, leaving just as the tower collapses with no treasure having been gained.

    Conan then sets out on a quest, seeking to grow stronger and find all the powers he can to defeat Doom. After some time, the group journeys into the south far beyond the civilized lands. They stumble across a thief named Valeria who is searching for the fabled city of Xuchotl which is said to be made of emeralds. Valeria and Conan grow close together and start to form a bond. As the two share an intimate moment, Conan and Valeria are attacked by a dinosaur like creature (a plated Allosaurus) which mauls their horses. Conan and Valeria escape the dragon by climbing onto a rocky outcropping. Though they are trapped there without food or water, Conan recognizes some poisonous fruit growing nearby. Acting quickly, he coats the tip of a spear in poison and pierces the dragon's lower jaw with a well-aimed throw. Although blinded, the enraged beast pursues the two fugitives by their scent, but dies from the poison seconds before devouring Conan.

    The couple after reuniting with Subotai and Amon emerge from their shelter and journey towards a mysterious walled city, which Conan sighted from the hill. Without grazing livestock or cultivated fields, the city appears deserted. Conan pries open a gate, long since rusted shut, and they enter a bizarre twilight world. The city, which is known as Xuchotl, is a massive structure completely enclosed by an emerald dome. A single great hallway runs across the entire city, without other streets or open courtyards. The structure consists entirely of four levels of rooms, chambers, and passageways. Xuchotl itself is carved from jade and other exotic materials.

    The four separate and search the city's empty corridors with Conan and Valeria traveling together. Valeria encounters a man named Techotl, who she joins in his feud between the two factions which are all that remain of the once large population. Soon, Techotl invites Conan and Valeria into the stronghold of his tribe, the Tecuhltli, where are welcomed by the king and queen, Olmec and Tascela. Subotai and Amon find an elderly man and rescue him from Xotalanc's soldiers. The man thanks the pair and is greatful for their arrival along with Conan and Valeria, saying cryptically for with new blood shall come two more red nails and his vengance shall be complete before descending into the catacombs. Subotai and Amon then join Conan and Valeria as they are welcomed by Techulti reoyalty.

    Olmec recounts that the city was built centuries before its current inhabitants arrived. One day, a slave — Tolkemec — betrayed his master and guided the newly arrived invaders into the city while slaying the original inhabitants. The conquerors were led by two brothers, Tecuhltli and Xotalanc, who ruled peacefully over their city until Tecuhltli stole Xotalanc's bride. Meanwhile, Tolkemec betrayed both sides for his own reasons and was exiled to the catacombs. Nails driven into a pillar inside of Olmec's stronghold keeps count the number of slain rivals, and provides the title for this story.

    Tascela develops an interest in Valeria, and has a slave try to drug her with a narcotic plant. Valeria manages to capture the slave and interrogates her into revealing her mistress' treachery, but the slave escapes into the catacombs. Valeria's pursuit is interrupted when Xotalanc's army breaches the stronghold. Eventually, all of Xotalanc's troops are exterminated while Conan, Valeria, Subotai, Amon Olmec, Tascela, and fifteen Tecuhltli warriors remain alive with Techotl having died by taking a blade meant for Conan. When Conan along with Subotai and Amon begins an expedition towards Xotalanc's stronghold, Valeria is left behind while her wounds are treated.

    While Conan is away, Olmec tries to rape Valeria, but Valeria fights him off and then he is thwarted by Tascela. She reveals herself as a sorceress and the stolen bride who originally started the feud. Vampire-like, Tascela plans to sacrifice Valeria to restore her own youth. Olmec has secretly ordered his guards to execute Conan, but Conan kills the two warriors and hurries back for Valeria. Returning to Tecuhltli, Conan finds a bruised Olmec in a trap inside Tascela's dungeon. After rescuing him, Olmec attempts to betray Conan and is killed.

    Conan faces off against Tascela, who has Valeria chained on an altar. Caught in a steel trap, Conan watches helplessly as Tascela proceeds with her ritual. Suddenly she is interrupted by Tolkemec, returned from his exile and wielding an ancient sceptre shooting lightning bolts. Amon and Subotai arrive with Subotai handling Tascela's guards while Amon protects both Conan and Valeria from the lightning with his magic. After freeing herself, Valeria impales a fleeing and electrocuted Tascela with a dagger through her heart, declaring, "I had to do that much for my self-respect!" Recognizing Subotai and Amon, Tolkemec lets them live and bids them farewell, asking they never return and let this city be forgotten to time.

    Some more time passes and the group is wealthy and happy, achieving great fame and fortune through their exploits. Valeria wishes for Conan to settle down and for them to raise a family but Conan is restless and still greatly uneased for Doom's continued living. In the morning the group is confronted by city guards bring them to King Osric with other adventurers in audience, who requests they rescue his daughter, Princess Yasimina, now a zealot in Doom's cult, for a handsome reward. Almost all refuse due to lack of interest or fear of Doom, but Conan in his hatred of Doom and desire for vengeance boldly proclaims he shall bring Doom's head. Conan's confidence and charisma unit the many mercenaries and adventurers to follow him in his quest, although Valeria is ill at ease, fearing that Conan is digging his grave.

    Conan in his arrogance leads a large band to the Temple of Doom where he believes he can just smash in and kill Doom, though Valeria advises caution and believes the plan is reckless, Conan in his blind hatred continues on. The Band attacks Doom and despite valiant fighting, against superior magics and the strength of Doom's Army are no match and they get destroyed with only Conan's friends escaping while Conan is captured after rushing to Doom and managing to grievously wound the sorcerer. Doom lectures him on the power of flesh, which he demonstrates by hypnotically enticing a girl to leap to her death. He then orders for Conan to be crucified on the Tree of Woe. The barbarian is on the verge of death when he is discovered by his friends and brought to ancient ruins for rest. Amon says he may be able to bring Conan back with the aid of spirits but warns that there is a heavy price that must be paid, one that Valeria says she shall be willing to bear. These spirits also try to abduct Conan, but he is restored to health after Valeria and Subotai fend them off.

    Subotai, Amon and Valeria agree to help Conan complete Osric's quest and infiltrate the Temple of Set. As the cult indulges in ritualism the thieves attack and flee with the princess, but Conan is unable to engage Doom, who has magically transformed into a large snake and slithered away. Valeria is mortally wounded by Doom after he shoots a stiffened snake at her with his bow. She dies in Conan's arms, acknowledging the price of the "toll" forewarned by the wizard in exchange for Conan's life; she is cremated at the Mounds, where Conan prepares with Subotai and Amon to battle Doom. Conan asks Crom, the god of his people, to grant him revenge. By using booby traps and exploiting their terrain, they manage to slay Doom's warriors when they attack. Just when Rexor is about to overcome Conan, Valeria reappears for a brief moment as a Valkyrie to save him from the mortal blow. After losing his men, Doom shoots a stiffened snake at the princess. Subotai blocks the shot with his shield, and stabs his Atlantean sword through Doom's heart, ending his reign of evil and avenging his parents but at the sorrowful cost of Valeria.

    Conan then returns the princess to Osiric and rides off somberly into the sunset with Subotai and Amon at his side. The film then ends with a return to Lukas and the Vizier, with the Prince begging for more stories of Conan. The Vizier promises to share more at another day. As the two prepare to leave, Lukas discovers Conan's sword and poses with it in a motion similar to Conan at the beginning of the film.

    Click to shrink...

    [EDIT: Also wanted to imply that this would be one of those shows that Bruce would entirely finance out of pocket for as many seasons as possible for as long as possible, purely because he wants the children of America to learn more about the world before and around them, which is why it's a PBS pitch.]

    • Movie Pitch: Mort
  • View content
    • I was not expecting to do this kind of Pitch for this movie at all. I figured we could try and get the rights when Pratchett finally started making the book years from now. But I was just surfing the internet, going through DeviantArt when I saw it; a fan made poster for a Mort movie, and it just struck me so hard that I had to do it now before I forgot that it even existed.

    Not to mention that the characters themselves have so much behind them that trying to describe them in just a few paragraphs is a challenge on itself. I think I've done it, but if not, I would hope you can give me some suggestion as to what to add. Now, let's keep in mind this is the adaptation of the Mort book, which won't be published until 1987. This means that at best we would be able to do, and release, the movie by 1990, perhaps later if we're too busy to do it, or if we have to deal with any corporate shenanigans (I'm looking at you Universal!) so the actors selected are not for the 70s or 80s, please look at them with the 90s look.

    So, I give you:

    Movie Pitch:
    Mort


    GENRE: Adventure/Fantasy

    SUBGENRE: Action

    FORMAT: Movie (Animation)    ​

    Set Up: An adaptation based on the fantasy novel of the same name by British writer Terry Pratchett. Set in the Discworld universe, the focus of the novel is on the character of Death, who takes an apprentice under his aegis in his efforts to understand humanity, and then sees how Mort, the eponymous apprentice, goes against the predetermined fate of all deaths in an effort to save the life of a Princess he grew infatuated with. Aiding him is Death's adopted daughter Ysabel and Death's own horse Binky. A story of fate, defiance, the absurdity that life can sometimes be, and how much we love it regardless.

    Director: John Musker
    Composer: Alan Menken

    Death: He is a black-robed skeleton carrying a scythe and a sword with which to dispatch the souls of the recently deceased Unlike what many believe, he has a real personality agonizing (and being fascinated) over what it is to be human, adopting an orphaned human child and loving cats. He efficient but not cruel, and sees his job as a necessary public service. His task is not to kill, but to collect. Harvesting the old, worn-out souls of the dead so they may be properly "recycled" into fresh new lives.

    Played By: Christopher Lee
    Alternate: Vincent Price

    Mort: His given name is Mortimer, but he prefers to be known as Mort. He is Death's apprentice, and for a brief time he carried on said duty on his behalf. Very tall and skinny, with muscles like knots in string. He had a shock of bright red hair, and looks as if he is made entirely of knees. He's well meaning, but dim witted. He soon finds out that the job of ushering souls in to the next world did not suit him, as he rather regretted the unfortunate necessity of their death.

    Played By: Johnny Depp
    Alternate: Michael Keaton

    Ysabell: The adoptive daughter of Death, she lost her parents when she was too young to remember them and has been living ever since in the realm of Death with no company save her father, his cats and Albert (his manservant). Her first interactions with anyone her own age was when Mort, his father's new apprentice arrives, and with whom she develops a complicated and often acrimonious relationship during the beginning, which develops further during their further adventures, up till the final confrontation with Death, who is not amused at this.

    Played By: Susan Egan
    Alternate: Helena Bonham Carter

    Albert: A very powerful wizard known as Alberto Malich when he founded the Unseen University, he tried to perform the Rite of AshkEnte (a ritual to bring Death to you) backwards in order to gain immortality. Instead it brought him to Death who now employs him as his butler. In a way he succeeded as time does not flow in Death's domain and as such, he's technically immortal. Though his relationship with Death seems cordial, it is also very fragile as Albert would be willing to betray and attack him should a better chance for him appear. Ysabell does not like him.

    Played By: William Hickey
    Alternate: Michael Palin

    Princess Keli: The daughter of King Olerve the Bastard of the Sto Plains. During her father's assassination arranged by the Duke of Sto Helit, she briefly caught a glimpse of then invisible Mort, Death's apprentice, who immediately fell in love with her. Unfortunately, she was Duke's next target in his quest for the throne and her death was assigned as Mort's first solo mission. Though unable to return Mort's feelings they do grow as friends in the end.

    Played By: Winona Ryder
    Alternate: Catherine O'Hara

    A.N: You know, if this movie takes off then we could have a whole slew of Discworld inspired animated adaptations for the 90s. Which would go great if we plan to have the LotR live action adaptations also make their debut in that decade (which might be necessary if we want them to be truly great instead of mediocre).

    • Movie Pitch: Mr. Peabody and Sherman
  • View content
    • Talking about The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends reminded me of the amazing shorts where Mr. Peabody and Sherman would go on their adventures through time, and all the wacky hijinks they would get into (mostly, I remember Mr. Peabody's voice, I loved how he would always speak so fast and yet we could understand him). Then I remembered the movie they did a decade ago and I thought: "You know what? If we could make the movie now, we could catch many of the people who originally watched this as children, and we could use a mix of Western and Eastern animation to bring in a new style for everyone to enjoy".

    Well, it was mostly pieces of that, but together they form that sentence, so it counts!

    Bear in mind, I don't want us to buy the rights for the characters as I think that this kind of series or movie can only be done once. So, personally, I think this could work better if we approach Jay Ward Production and ask for a Collaboration to use their characters this one time for the movie. I feel this works for the best, as most of the other characters don't seem like they have a future later on. Now perhaps this is my own bias showing, as I did love the show when I first saw it on the reruns, but the later reboots and movies that came just didn't seem to have that magic and entertainment that the previous ones had. Save for this one of course, the movie was amazing!

    Alright then, enough praising around. I give you:

    Movie Pitch:
    Mr. Peabody and Sherman


    GENRE: Adventure/Comedy

    SUBGENRE: Science Fiction

    FORMAT: Movie (Animation/Anime Mix)    ​

    Set Up: Based on characters from the Peabody's Improbable History segments of the animated television series The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. Mr. Peabody and Sherman use the WABAC to embark on time travel adventures. When Sherman accidentally rips a hole by taking the WABAC without permission to impress Penny Peterson, they must find themselves to repair history and save the future.

    Director: Robert Zemeckis
    Composer: Irwin Kostal
    Mr. Peabody: He is an extremely ambitious and inventive dog who is the smartest being in the world. Peabody is extremely proud of his laundry list of achievements and positive qualities, holding his head high. He is surprisingly kind and fatherly but is prone to minor bragging, making puns tailored to the situation, and hiding his affection. His top priority is his son Sherman, who is his pride and joy.

    Played By: Bill Scott
    Alternate: Dan Castellaneta

    Sherman: Sherman is an extremely fun-loving and kind kid, but is a little more reckless than other children. He is bright, intelligent, kind of loud, a bit obnoxious and seems to have a problem with history, which is why Mr. Peabody builds the WABAC in order to go back in time and learn of what happened back then.

    Played By: Corey Feldman
    Alternate: Ke Huy Quan

    Penny Peterson: Despite looking sweet and innocent, Penny is very rich and spoiled and she appeared to have been envious of Sherman's smarts. She's also rebellious and kind of manipulative when it suits her. However, she is also loyal and caring to those she's close with, willing to own up to her mistakes and apologize for them.

    Played By: Drew Barrymore
    Alternate: Martha Plimpton

    Ms. Grunion: She is a corrupt and evil social worker that is attempting to get Sherman taken away from Mr. Peabody. However, she does not really care for Sherman's well-being, she actually wants to ruin Sherman's and Mr. Peabody's lives and make them miserable. She goes as far as reporting Peabody to the police with a false accusation, just so she can have him put down.

    Played By: Jean Marsh
    Alternate: Patricia Hayes
    Paul Peterson: He is a very serious stern who is easily angered and distracted by his phone calls. He doesn't seem to like Peabody very much and not very interested in meeting him.

    Patricia Peterson: She is very kind, motherly, and overly enthusiastic to meet Mr. Peabody. She loves her daughter and husband dearly and is a very compassionate character

    Principal Purdy: The Principal of Sherman and Penny's school. She calls Sherman and Penny to his office when an altercation between them happens, and Mr. Grunion is there.

    A.N.: So, I was thinking that we should make this movie sooner rather than later if only to take advantage of the nostalgia feeling from the fans of the original cartoon. Not to mention that we could introduce new forms of animation here with our new Japanese animators. We get the chance to revive an old classic, while at the same time we can introduce a new style to the world, it will be amazing!

    • No One Was In The Room (When It Happened): The Idea of an MCAU:

    Stan Lee and Jack Kirby entered the conference room, the door shutting quietly behind them. They took their seats at opposite ends of the long table, their eyes meeting briefly before turning away. What few onlookers where left in the offices this late in the day watched from their dark corners, trying to glean what little they could of what was being discussed...but their vantage points offered nothing, as their voices were low and subdued, their words carefully chosen. They seemed to be discussing something important, something that would have a significant impact on Marvel Comics. So it went on, for an hour and change, the two men deep in debate, often times jovial, at other subdued, but always with a single determination between them...and then Steve Ditko calmly walked into the offices, making a straightaway for the conference room and suddenly the discourse became, to an outsiders point of view very much heated. Spies reported to their masters, Gossip hounds remained, and Jerry the Night Janitor did his job, briefly popping his head in to collect waste and say his hellos before just as swiftly moving on. In the end, the afternoon bled into late evening, and it was only then that they emerged from the conference room, seeming satisfied, almost relieved. But what had they discussed? What new direction had they decided on?

    When interrogated, all Jerry had to offer was that, when he'd walked in, they'd been talking about blondes and snakes in the grass, but other than that they'd been focused on their pizza from the joint across the street.

    Twice more they'd meet up in similar circumstances, before finally Mike Eisner and Dave Alistair walked into their offices...and, shortly thereafter, an announcement was made.

    "Marvel Comics no longer answers to the Comics Code Authority."

    "Jack, my friend, I've been thinking. We've got something special here with Marvel Comics, and I think it's time we take it to the next level...a Marvel Comics Animated Universe. You know, a series of interconnected shows that tell the stories of our heroes in a way that we haven't seen before," Stan explained, a glimmer burning in his eyes. "And, if it's not too much a bother to you, there's no one else I'd rather have in charge of the project...What say you?"

    Get ready for an exciting new chapter in the world of Spider-Man with our brand new animated series! This time, we pick up a few years into Peter Parker's tenure as Spider-Man. He's been keeping the city safe from crime and supervillains, but he's about to face his greatest challenge yet. As Peter tries to balance his personal life with his superhero duties, he finds himself drawn to Gwen Stacy, a pillar of strength in his chaotic life and completely in the know about his secret identity. But as their relationship blossoms, strengthens and deepens, Peter grows fearful that he can't protect her from the dangers of his world.

    Meanwhile, a new wave of supervillains is wreaking havoc on the city. From the high-tech gadgets of the Shocker to the shape-shifting abilities of the Chameleon, Peter must use all his skills and cunning to keep the city safe. But he won't be alone on his mission. He'll have the help of his trusted allies, including Harry Osborn and his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, and, eventually, Johnny Storm, Bobby Drake. Together, they'll form a team of heroes to take down the villains and save the city.
    In this two-part episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, uncovers the truth behind his parents' deaths. While preventing the Chameleon from breaking into what's heavily implied to be the FBI offices, Spider-Man discovers evidence that suggests his parents were killed in a terrorist hijacking involving the Soviets and their Winter Soldier.

    Determined to learn more, Spider-Man's investigation leads him to encounter the X-Men (First Class) and their field leader, Wolverine. Together, they delve deeper into the mystery, uncovering many truths great and terrible. As they get closer to the truth, they find themselves facing off against Mr. Sinister, who has been orchestrating many of the events that led Spider-Man and the X-Men to him. Mr. Sinister is determined to retrieve his Winter Soldier, the man who was once known as Bucky Barnes...Wolverine.

    In the epic conclusion of the two-part episode, Spider-Man and the X-Men confront Mr. Sinister in a final showdown. As they battle, the truth about Spider-Man's parents' death is finally revealed, and Spider-Man is forced to make a choice that will change his life forever.

    The episode combines elements from the Weapons X and Winter Soldier storylines, with a dash of the Clone Saga, with X-23 and Madelyn Pryor being hinted at in the background.
    Get ready for an epic new X-Men animated series that takes us back to where it all began! We start with the X-Men First Class, led by Professor Charles Xavier, as they learn to harness their mutant powers and fight for a world that fears and hates them. But there's a twist - Wolverine, the iconic member of the X-Men, is now an instructor at the school, albeit largely by accident. He's always been a loner, and working with the students is a challenge for him. But as he trains the young mutants and fights alongside them against their enemies, he discovers a newfound sense of purpose and a desire to become a more honorable person.

    As the X-Men face new threats and enemies, including the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Sentinels, Wolverine must come to terms with his past, confront his inner demons, and find a way to reconcile his violent past with his newfound sense of responsibility. Alongside Wolverine and the original X-Men, we'll see appearances from other beloved characters, including Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman, as well as new mutants with unique powers and abilities.

    But Wolverine's journey doesn't end there. As he teaches the young mutants, he is also on a personal quest to uncover his forgotten past. Through a series of flashbacks and revelations, we learn that Wolverine was once known as the Winter Soldier, who was once Bucky Barnes, and before that he had lived many lives under different identities, the most notable of which being John Steele, the original source of Project Rebirth. As Wolverine delves deeper into his past, he discovers that his previous identities are tied to some of the most significant events in history, including World War II and the Cold War. Along the way, he must confront his demons and come to terms with the actions he took while under the control of his former masters.

    A/N: Had Hamilton playing in the background when I wrote this, so whatever happened in that office know this: that the boys are back in town.

    • You know, Prince of Egypt would be right down our alley now that I think about it. The story of Moses is one that has been said so many times, but I don't think anyone has tried making him so, well, human as the movie did back in his day. Ramses as well, instead of being portrayed as an out and out villain is mostly a tragic one, and it's realistic as well; growing up together, unless one's a complete sociopath, would have left at least some feelings of fraternity inside someone. Which is why I really like the idea of it being an important aspect of this movie.

    Frankly, I think Don Bluth should be the one to do this. One thing I've noticed from his animation style is that, unlike most of Disney's own Filmography, he's not afraid to show the hurt or sad aspects of a film, those elements that one would say would mess someone up. He's the one that would say that sometimes it's necessary to show that to children as one cannot completely protect them from what is going on. I think that can be seen in his films; from Land Before Time, to Anastasia, to All Dogs go to Heaven and even Rock-a-Doodle (which to this day I maintain is an underrated gem brought down by many who did not like the combination of Live Action and animation!...which I have to admit was a bit jarring, but still.) all films that don't shy from showing the ugliness and sadness of the human condition, yet that doesn't take away from the joy and happiness that also makes up humanity.

    Alright then, I give you:

    Movie Pitch:
    The Prince of Egypt


    GENRE: Adventure/Drama

    SUBGENRE: Comedy/Fantasy

    FORMAT: Movie (Animation)​

    Set Up: This is an adaptation of the first fourteen chapters of the Book of Exodus and follows the life of Moses from being a prince of Egypt to a prophet of the Lord, chosen by God to carry out his ultimate destiny of leading the Hebrews out of Egypt. Not only does it show Moses as an infallible prophet or tortured soul like many other adaptations, but also as a young teen and brother to Ramses, their relationship and brotherhood, and how it is affected when the truth about his parentage is revealed along with Moses' new mission from God.

    Director: Don Bluth
    Composer: Hans Zimmer
    Moses: The son of Yocheved and Amram, and younger brother of Miriam and Aaron and grandson of Benjamin. As an infant, he was put into a basket by his mother and was adopted by Queen Tuya and Seti I. He became Ramses' adoptive younger brother. As a young man Moses lived the carefree life of a prince. He was lively, rakish, and fun-loving. Later in life, Moses learned of his true identity, growing more compassionate as a result. He eventually left Egypt and grew more responsible and serious by the time God commanded him to free the Hebrews from slavery.

    Played By: Jeff Bridges
    Alternate: Tom Hulce

    Pharaoh Rameses II: The son of Seti I and Tuya, He and Moses were raised as brothers and the conflict between them is seen as a deeply personal one on both sides. Though quite stubborn he is not evil. His cruelty and stubbornness stem from his past, where his father taught him to hold fast to a strong will, and an unwavering mindset. He wants his father's approval and tries to prove himself worthy. He was deeply hurt when Moses left Egypt, overjoyed when he came back, and bitter when told he came back not for him but for the Hebrews.

    Played By: Dan Aykroyd
    Alternate: Ralph Fiennes

    Tzipporah: Moses eventual wife, and the daughter of Jethro. She was captured and given as a slave to Moses before he helps her escape. Tzipporah is independent, kind, determined, and brave. She loves her family fiercely but can come off teasing at times. Regardless, she will go to great lengths to protect them (and herself) when threatened. Though initially hostile to Moses, as time passes and he proves himself, her attitude changes into more sarcastic and playfulness. She supports him in his mission to free the Hebrews from Egypt.

    Played By: Michelle Pfeiffer
    Alternate: Pat Carroll

    Miriam: The firstborn child and eldest daughter of Yocheved and the older sister of Moses and Aaron. Miriam is a compassionate, beautiful, and brave young woman who has never lost faith that Moses would come back to liberate the Jews with the help of God, though the rest of her people seem to accept their fate as slaves. Through her wisdom and her gentleness, she is often able to lift Moses out of his frequent moments of despair and inspire him to keep his mission going.

    Played By: Jodi Benson
    Alternate: Sigourney Weaver

    Aaron: He is the eldest son and middle child of Yocheved, the younger brother of Miriam and the older brother of Moses. Aaron did not have the luxuries that Moses had in his adolescence. As a result, he became hardened and pessimistic. Aaron is self-reliant and hardworking, but sometimes his caution can be perceived as cowardice. Above all, Aaron loves his sister, Miriam, and will do whatever it takes to protect her. He eventually grows to have more faith in Moses and in God, believing more in himself as well.

    Played By: Jeff Goldblum
    Alternate: Steve Martin

    Jethro: The father of Tzipporah, he is a naturally kind, jovial, good-natured man, who is faithful and optimistic. By following God, his simple life has been joyful and fulfilling. He is a man with a firm belief in a master plan and God, as he believes that God knows far more than he, and trusts that a person's worth can only be determined by God. He trusts Moses more than he does himself, as he sees he's a good and honorable man after saving his daughter from both Slavery and brigands.

    Played By: Earl Hammond
    Alternate: Earle Hyman
    Pharaoh Seti I: He is the father of Rameses, the adoptive father of Moses, husband to his queen Tuya, and the ruling pharaoh of all of Egypt. He may appear to be a wise and kind old man, but his cruelty brews just beneath the surface. He is vicious and cold, having every Hebrew boy thrown into the river. However, he had done it out of fear that the Hebrews might one day rise in number and power to start a rebellion that will threaten his legacy.

    Queen Tuya: The foster mother of Moses and the birth mother of Rameses II. She is a very kind and loving woman. She cares a lot for both Rameses and Moses and, unlike her husband, seems to be more merciful because when she found Moses as a baby she knew he was a Hebrew, but instead of killing him like all of the other unfortunate baby boys, she took him in as her own son. She can be quite serious, especially if one of her sons gets in trouble, but she loves both of them dearly through it all.

    Yocheved: The birth mother of Moses, Miriam, & Aaron. Yocheved is a beautiful, kind and motherly woman. She loves all of her children dearly and proves this when she risks her life to save her youngest child, Moses, from Pharaoh Seti I's soldiers. She is seen crying once she let the basket that held Moses into the river.

    Hotep and Huy: They are cunning sorcerers. Deceitful as they are pretentious, the pair always uses magic to ensure subordination to their Pharaoh. They are also a source of amusement for young Moses because they are so easily irritated by his "blasphemy". They serve as comic relief mainly, trying to prove Moses' favor from God are just tricks that anyone could replicate, up till they are dismissed by Pharaoh Rameses II.

    A.N.: I hope we can do this around the 80s as that's where I found the actors, but if not then I'm fine with it being done at any other time. I do hope this is as well accepted as the Hiawatha film.

    • Cultural Exchange

    You let loose a large yawn as you marched to the Dreamworks theater where Tomino requested your presence for a meeting to address some of the integration issues going on between the American and Japanese half of Dreamworks. It was just one of multiple issues for Dreamworks where you had to play firefighter recently and you suspected that for the entire month and perhaps the rest of the year once you returned from Conan you'd be working the 9 to 5 at Dreamworks Animation. You wish you could delegate to someone else, but Mike was busy macromanaging the entire company and George was doing his tech wizardry with ILM, THX and the new computer division. In the end, all responsibility for Dreamworks had to be laid on you, its primary advocate and parent of sorts.

    As if it wasn't enough, you also had some other duties to attend to with the media blitz, strategizing for the trip to Sunrise next week and Academy charming that was being done in prep for the Oscars with Mike wanting to make sure that it was a full Lucasfilms sweep. You were stretched thin and very exhausted, probably the most you ever felt since American Graffiti and the first season of MASH.

    If there was one bright spot to this miniature hell that you were somewhat responsible for it was that in a couple of hours you would be going home to have a wonderful romantic evening with your lovely wife. Carrie promised you that she would deliver a lovely night to help you destress and also create a nice atmosphere for some babymaking. Considering the rather risqué set of purchases she had bought recently including a literal playboy bunny outfit, you had full faith that Carrie would deliver.

    'Bad Goose! Work now, Princess later.' You mentally reminded yourself before Carrie daydreams started flooding your brain.

    Entering the theater, you saw the 50 Japanese men and women simultaneously rise up and take a formal bow. While your American subordinates held a high amount of respect and in some cases admiration, the Japanese treated you and George like royalty. Everytime you walked in the room with a Japanese employee they would be sure to do bow and their body language was filled with demureness and awe where it was like you were the President. Apparently Radar, Han and John Milner were incredibly popular Western characters and you were kind of like the 70s James Dean. It was not a situation you were comfortable with, but George on the other hand absolutely loved the attention.

    "Thank you for coming everyone." You spoke in Japanese. While Kanji was still a bitch to learn, you were pretty decently fluent aside from a few social faux paus' and could get a decent grasp of Romaji pretty well, so aside from having trouble with some of the Hokkaido and Okinawan accents communication had been smooth in your personal end.

    You took place next to Tomino who stood straight and smiled with his face absolutely beaming and high energy, a nice change from Don's grumpiness. "What seems to be the problem Tomino?"

    "O'Brian-san, I have called this meeting so that you could perhaps explain to us some of the....oddities of American culture and the misunderstandings that have been rising between the two halves of our family."

    You withheld a groan, fearful but knowing that this kind of thing would prop up. It was only within the last decade that America became more culturally aware of Japan then Godzilla, sushi, samurai and World War II. Even with your beloved imports the barriers just wouldn't wash away and probably wouldn't melt until the next generation.

    You then leaned to Tomino with a low whisper, "None of our American staff has been....hateful towards their colleagues have they?" You asked with trepidation. America may have come a long way from the Interment camps and Toshiro Mifune was currently one of the most popular and beloved people in America, but there were still people who were either hateful in bigotry or held trauma from World War II and refused to see Japan as more than savage Fascists. You had even gotten a couple of angry letters from veterans who felt "Betrayed" that their beloved Radar would be a "Jap lover", as if airing Toho films was some kind of condoning of Tojo.

    Tomino thankfully shook his head, "None that I am aware of. There have been a few heated arguments but more due to personality than race." You breathed an immense sigh of relief at that, happy that you didn't have to start firing racists.

    "Alright everyone, I guess I'll be taking questions, feel free to ask anything you want and remember that while we do things differently here, it doesn't mean that the Japanese way is wrong or that it's bad to find some of our customs odd or bad. Let's just be open and honest with one another." You say in assurance, receiving a positive vibe and general nods of approval from the crowd.

    Tomino was the first to start, "The way that Americans treat the end of the work strikes me as....disrespectful." He cautiously said.

    You gave Tomino an inquisitive look, "How so?"

    "In Japan, it is custom that we leave after the boss leaves. When the boss is finished, there is no more work to be done. If the boss is still working, we must play our part to help see the day ends. However, everyone else insists to leave after 5 pm." Tomino explained.

    While you were truthful in that there were no wrong answers, such a behavior seemed....wrong to you. "Wait a minute, so none of you will leave until Yoshiyuki-san leaves?" You asked the audience, receiving various words of approval, though you could spot a few noticeable looks of disagreement, as if they wished the practice weren't true.

    "Tomino, how late have you been staying at the office? Because we won't pay you overtime if you are choosing to work after hours of your own initiative." You ask in concern.

    "I have not been staying too late. I leave before six, but I stay some time after five to make sure work is done in all departments." Tomino says.

    You ponder over how to best deliver a diplomatic response a while before giving an explanation, "Well, in America, people leave when their clock says that work is over. This is because, we don't get paid after hours unless there is overtime, so no one sees any point in working for free. More importantly, people want to go home, relax and be with their families. They don't want to miss precious time with their children unless there is something important with work." You tried to emphasize. You had a feeling that in the future as a father there would be some nights where you'd come home after the kids were put to bed by Carrie or Debbie, but you wanted those nights to be few and distant between each other.

    Such a response actually seemed to touch a chord with a decent fraction of the audience as a good number of Japanese animators immigrated with their families. Considering the stories that Dad gave you of the hard first years immigrating to America when his family were English-speaking and white, you could only imagine the difficulties their spouses and kids had to go through and how going home earlier would be be more helpful.

    Tomino gave you a strange look, "So I should leave at five o'clock every day?"

    You shook your head, "It's not like you HAVE to leave and drop all work at five on the dot. I really admire your work ethic Tomino and the responsibility you are upholding. However, I would hope that you or anyone else who stays doesn't stay for more than an hour or try to do work they don't need to or can be done tomorrow. If we need people to work long hours, we'll let the department know and pay everyone overtime. Generally, I would try to limit afterwork time to less than an hour and make sure it's spent completing something that can't be put on hold or just checking up on how things are ending. If people wish to leave, unless they are deliberately neglecting their duties and leaving a mess, then don't take it as a sign of disrespect."

    Tomino gave you a nod of gratitude, you then opened up the floor to more questions with a whole host of people raising hands. You picked one of the animators sitting in the front row, "So when we have Nomikai, we can refuse to attend and it is not rude?"

    "I'm sorry, what's a Nomikai?" You ask in confusion.

    "A Nomikai is shall we say...an alcoholic party for offices in Japan." Tomino tries to explain.

    "You mean you go to a bar or people drink beer and sake within the office?" You ask, not seeing how that was different from a casual bar trip.

    "We go to a bar. This is when the company wishes to celebrate an achievement, milestone or sometimes holiday and through the Nomikai we form bonds of family. I am not particularly enthusiastic of the tradition, but I was planning on conducting it once we achieve major success or after a couple of months to "break the ice" as you say. However, I am worried because there are several strong customs in the Nomikai that I think our American coworkers will not like or understand. Also while not strictly mandatory, it is seen as something that you must attend or else you look to be shunning the company."

    "Do you have to drink alcohol if you attend? Some of our people might strongly dislike alcohol or have moral or religious objections to consuming it." You asked, the absolute last thing you needed was for Dreamworks to become known as the alcoholic company.

    Tomino strongly shook his head, "No, drinking is sort of the highlight as it were, but our events have food served as well, usually heavy on meat so you don't have to consume alcohol. What is importance is the attendance and camaraderie." You nodded slightly, that didn't sound too bad.

    "Well we at Lucasfilms do have occasional parties and social gatherings, usually when a movie is released or it's for a holiday. Attendance is never mandatory and there are quite a number of people who for one reason or another don't go, either due to personal preference or other priorties. If you want we can discuss this later to see what kind of events we can hold, although we don't have anything planned until the Fourth of July. In the meantime you are more than welcome to join other employees in social gatherings on your own time. In America, we prefer to celebrate after work with close friends so it's more of how shall you say...bottom-top than top-bottom if that makes sense. Just remember to celebrate responsibly and not let what happens after work affect work." You say, getting reasonable nods.

    You then received a question from Ishiguro, "I think we can all agree that Americans tend to be more relaxed and informal than us?" Ishiguro asked, receiving a general consensus in the room. "I think I speak for many that such casualness with strangers is a bit uncomfortable, yet when we converse I sense that our American coworkers feel us cold and distant. What is the right way to behave in the office?"

    You hummed and bit your lip as you honestly saw both sides of the argument being right. Naturally you preferred a casual and friendly atmosphere, but being formal and polite wasn't necessarily awful. "In America we have a saying, treat others how you want to be treated. So if you treat others how you wish to yourself be treated, whether it be informal or casual, I see that as the correct way. In our culture we do have respect in the workplace, which is treating your superiors with due diligence, not being disruptive with your work, and maintaining a civil and friendly work environment. What is important is that you respect other's boundaries and personal space, which can sometimes be high or low. If someone makes you uncomfortable, please inform them and ask politely that they stop what is giving you discomfort, and don't be afraid to ask and make clear if what you are doing is seen as discomfortable or strange. So long as we understand where we are and who we are then I think that is a good workplace. If however, such discomfort is severe or harassment, please discuss with your superiors or HR." You finished, with Tomino particularly beaming at you with your talk of understanding.

    More hands rose up, "I overheard Clements-san speak of pranks within the workplace, is this allowed?"

    You then spent near forty minutes answering questions and while it didn't seem that the Japanese ways were going to go away, everyone seemed to at the very least gain a new form of understanding for why Americans did things so drastically different and that no one was seeking to disrespect the other. Maybe you should have a similar meeting with the American half, but unless they directly came to you then hopefully they could reach an accord. Brotherhoods forced by authority never tended to last long.

    A/N: Pretty much all dialogue in this chapter was spoken in Japanese.
