little dance he emphesizes his wonderful mood. He notices that he is alone in this marvelous greenhouse
filled with these dead looking sculptures of animals. As the positive magical being that he is,Dr. Wacky
Legs decides that it’s time to party. He does a quick spin,opens his umbrella and releases smoke from
it,closes the umbrella and aims at the statues. A quick shot of this smoke and the statues come to life
and in a great mood at that. As Dr. Wacky Legs runs with a funky dance and continues creating
companions for his party he instatntly stops in front of a fountain. It’s a statue of a mermaid. A thought
hit him. Since he’s an animal lover an all,what would happen with a mermaid if he turned it in to a living
being. He starts to think if it should be considered as a fish or as a human. But,as he covered his mind
with these thoughts,a rabbit by accident pushed the Doctor. Doctor by accident shot some smoke on the
fountain statue of the mermaid. An explosion of smoke. As the Doctor and the Rabbit cough up some
smoke they look with interest what have they just created. What was before them was a mermaid in a
sense. The upper part was the fish and the lower was the human. Doctor looked at it with
amazement,looked at the rabbit and sighs.

Outline

The treatment for the story in overall is for it look like a children’s story,yet with a spoon of wacky for
the teenage audience or something a whole family can watch. The story and the film in itself has
practically no unnatural objects,just natural objects doing unnatural things or natural things turn in to
natural things. A combination of magic but with no new unneeded information so that the audience
wouldn’t need to know anything new to understand the story and enjoy it.

Logline

results.
