THE MOON HAS A HICCUP

Description

A vibrant cartoon with colours and smooth animation. THE MOON HAS A HICCUP A tiny, peculiar cartoon about an enormous problem. Length: 90 seconds Style: Storybook animation, slightly surreal, with crooked houses, rich colors, expressive animals, and gentle absurdist humor. SCENE 1 - THE TROUBLE WITH TUESDAY EXT. LITTLE VILLAGE - NIGHT A tiny village sits beneath an enormous yellow moon. The houses lean sideways. A snail carries a glowing lantern. A sleepy cloud wears spectacles. Suddenly- MOON: HIC! The entire village jumps three inches into the air. A teapot falls off a windowsill. TEAPOT: Rude. MOON: HIC! All the stars briefly turn into bananas. SCENE 2 - AN EXPERT ARRIVES A small purple pigeon wearing an enormous bow tie emerges from a chimney. His name is PROFESSOR CRUMB. PROFESSOR CRUMB: Oh dear. A lunar hiccup. Very uncommon. Very inconvenient. Extremely yellow. He opens a suitcase containing a feather, a pickle, and a tiny trumpet. PROFESSOR CRUMB: First, we try a surprise. He blows the trumpet. Instead of a trumpet sound, a little voice says: TRUMPET: I'm a potato. The Moon hiccups again. MOON: HIC! Professor Crumb's bow tie turns into a butterfly and flies away. SCENE 3 - THE WRONG SOLUTION A small hedgehog named BUTTON rolls into the scene wearing one red boot. BUTTON: Have you tried asking the Moon what's wrong? PROFESSOR CRUMB: Don't be ridiculous. I'm a professor. Button looks up. BUTTON: Moon? Are you all right? MOON: I'm trying to remember something. BUTTON: What? MOON: I can't remember. MOON: HIC! A passing cloud turns into a sheep. SHEEP CLOUD: Baaaaaffling. SCENE 4 - A VERY SMALL IDEA Button sits on a mushroom. BUTTON: Sometimes when I forget something, I stop trying so hard. PROFESSOR CRUMB: Scientifically suspicious. BUTTON: Let's be quiet for a minute. Everything becomes still. A cricket unfolds a miniature newspaper. A worm quietly puts on pajamas. The Moon closes its eyes. A beat. MOON: Oh! BUTTON: You remembered? MOON: Yes! I forgot to say goodnight to the ocean. SCENE 5 - GOODNIGHT The Moon leans toward the distant sea. MOON: Goodnight, Ocean. A little wave rises from the water and waves back. OCEAN: Goodnight, you big cheese. The Moon smiles. No more hiccups. Professor Crumb scribbles in his notebook. PROFESSOR CRUMB: Conclusion: Sometimes the answer is to do absolutely nothing. A pause. PROFESSOR CRUMB: I shall require a government grant. His bow tie butterfly returns and lands on his head. BUTTON: Goodnight, Professor. PROFESSOR CRUMB: I'm a potato. CUT TO BLACK. A final, tiny- MOON: ...hic. THE END.
