Doodle Toons/Trailer transcripts

The following is a collection of transcripts for the film The Doodle Toons Movie.

Teaser trailer
(MPAA green screen.)

("Workaday World" by Jack Beaver plays.)

(Shows the Paramount Pictures logo in the middle of its animation.)

(The score's volume turns down as the trailer transitions to a stage with a two-dimensional painting of a forest placed in the back. The whole scene is being recorded on camera.)

Director #1: (off-screen behind the camera) I feel there's something missing from this project, but I don't know what.

Director #2: (also behind the camera) Did you try checking the script?

Director #1: Ummmm.... uhhhh.... I think I left it in the forest somewhere. A bear probably picked it up, or a rabbit. I don't know who.

Director #2: Wait, WHAT?!?

(A wall busting sound is heard [which signals the volume of the score to turn back up], followed by a Hanna-Barbera style sound that increases in volume until the main protagonist, Bellybutton, appears and decelerates rapidly in front of the camera in the manner of an automobile. The score ends.)

Bellybutton: (exhausted) Bear... chased me all the way here... he knows the story from the script.... (catches his breath) So, what are we doing again?

Director #1: All you have to do is present yourself. Tell the audiences at least one thing that makes you feel cut out for this movie.

Bellybutton: Uh, okay. For one thing, I'm...

Director #2: A cartoon character?

Director #1: Ooh, that's perfect. Maybe you should tell us you're a cartoon character.

Bellybutton: Cartoon character?!? (laughs comically) ... You kidding, right?

Director #1: Just give us a simple phrase that best describes yourself. And make it quick; the stagehands aren't waiting to drop those letters over you.

Bellybutton: Wha?

(The words "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF" and the logo for the film Twist City crash into the floor against Belly, with only his arm sticking out.)

Bellybutton: (muffled in the ground) I think the word you were trying to look for was... (climbs out of the oversized letters) the united species of computer animated America.

Director #1: What?!?

Bellybutton: No, I mean, the animation of America.

(Both directors laugh, but eventually wind down.)

Director #1: Fair enough. Que the trailer.

Bellybutton: Wait!...

More coming soon!
