2. 1
FADE IN:
INT. SCHOOLROOM - A MID-INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD - DAY
MISS SHARP (25), attractive as well as studious, conducts an
ethnically diverse class of first-graders.
MISS SHARP
Children, I have a very special
announcement to make. Our school
is going to hold a talent contest.
Class groans.
MISS SHARP (CONT'D)
The winner will receive this inter-
galactic projector that displays
the universe on the celling.
Miss Sharp unveils the doll set and the projector. She
activates a remote. MUSIC plays as the projector displays
images of stars and planets on the ceiling. Oohs and aahs
from the class.
GWILLUMBEARY (V.O.)
To measure long distances in space,
astronomers use what are called
light-years, the distance light
travels in a single Earth year.
Joshua (6) stares in awe at the images. ZOOM IN on Planet
Gwill.
GWILLUMBEARY (V.O.)
The Planet Gwill is over one
gwillion light-years from Earth.
ZOOM IN. CLOSE UP on VERA. She is wearing a shower cap and
standing under a large vintage-style watering can. The
class CHEERS and APPLAUDS. Miss Sharp quickly switches off
the projector.
Miss Sharp holds up a complete set of Galactic Safety
Council collectors doll set.
MISS SHARP
The second runner up will receive
complete set of Gwillumbeary
Galactic Safety Council collector
Doll set.
Class CHEERS.
MISS SHARP (CONT'D)
OK. Who here has a "special"
ability they would like to share?

3. 2
SUZY (6) raises her hand.
SUZY
I can sing.
(perfect pitch)
Everything's going to be OK.
Where there's a gwill there's a
way.
MISS SHARP
Ah, pretty as a rainbow after a
storm.
JIMMY (6) stands. He carries bagpipes that are twice his
size and plays the Gwillumbeary song in time with Suzy.
MISS SHARP (CONT'D)
Very good, Jimmy. It's the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow.
DAISY (6) stands. She carries a violin.
MISS SHARP (CONT'D)
I see you play the violin, Daisy.
DAISY
(southern drawl)
It's a fiddle Miss Sharp.
She plays the Gwillumbeary song with a country and western
twang. Suzy and Jimmy join in.
MISS SHARP
That is wonderful. Do we have any
others with a great talent?
Joshua raises his hand.
JOSHUA
I am a whiz at coloring within the
lines.
Jimmy hits a sour note. Strings pop off Daisy's fiddle.
Joshua looks dejected.
SAGE (V.O.)
OK. Freeze frame.
The action stops on Joshua as he holds back tears.

4. 3
INT. COUNCIL HEADQUARTERS - DAY
The COUNCIL MEMBERS are watching Joshua on the monitors. He
looks completely downtrodden.
SAGE
We have a situation here. Joshua
needs our help.
VERA
And he needs a lot of crayons.
Coloring books are hard. I never
had enough crayons to get that
silly mouse the right shade of
black.
She takes off her shower cap.
SAGE
Coloring books? Why that's a
brilliant idea, my dear Vera.
VERA
What are you talking about, my
Queen?
SAGE
Just what you recommended. A
coloring book.
VERA
I did?
SAGE
Only this one will be giant.
Octowilly, would you please...
OCTOWILLY
Yes, you're majesty.
Octowilly conjures up a large Gwillumbeary and his Galactic
Safety Council coloring book.
SAGE
By giant I meant... hmm... what's
the word...
SHARKUNA
Ginormous.
POOF. The coloring book is now ten times as large as an
Imax screen.

5. 4
SAGE
I was thinking along the lines of
super-duper, but ginormous works
fine too. In fact, I can see the
colors now. So shiny and bright.
Gwillumbeary's mood ring goes wild.
GWILLUMBEARY
Ooooh! I love shiny and bright
colors.
SAGE
And what a message it will tell.
Class, today's lesson is...
drumroll please... how to believe
in oneself for fun and with
confidence.
MILLMAX
Every color makes our world a
kinder, gentler place.
SAGE
Gwillumbeary, I want you to take
this to the children right away.
We're going to have our own talent
contest. The winner gets a life-
time supply of self-esteem.
GWILLUMBEARY
Hootie hootie hootie!
SAGE
And MillMax, you go with
Gwillumbeary.
MILLMAX
Hootie hootie hootie!
MillMax grabs the book as he and Gwillumbeary run to their
water slides.
MORTON
(thinking out loud)
Perfect opportunity for my newest
creation.
VERA
And what would that be, pray tell?

6. 5
SAGE
Never mind that, you two. Morton,
I want you to secure crayons.
We're going to need lots and lots
and oodles and oodles of crayons
MORTON
(sinister laugh)
With pleasure, your majesty.
Morton sneaks away. Gwillumbeary bounces his ball as he and
MillMax don their goggles and take off.
EXT. SCHOOL PLAY YARD - DAY
Joshua sulks while other children play. Suzy, Jimmy and
Daisy perform while FELICIA (6) tap dances.
JOSHUA
(sigh)
I guess being good at coloring
isn’t a talent.
FELICIA
(smug)
I can do any dance. You name it.
JIMMY
Can you do a rain dance!
Felicia starts to dance and a sudden downpour drenches the
children and knocks Jimmy and his bagpipes. Gwillumbeary
slides off the water slide and lands SPLAT on the wet
bagpipes, making a loud RASPBERRY. Gwillumbeary waves his
paw in the air and it stops raining and the sun comes out
and dries everything off.
CHILDREN
It's Gwillumbeary!
GWILLUMBEARY
Hootie hootie hootie! I've got
exciting news for you, boys and
girls. There's going to be a
talent contest.
JOSHUA
(unenthusiastic)
We heard.
MillMax arrives with the coloring book. He is followed by a
storm of crayons.

7. 6
MILLMAX
This is a different type of
contest. It is special. Just like
all of you.
He opens the book.
GWILLUMBEARY
We are going to help Joshua with
his special gift and, in turn, find
more gifts within ourselves.
MILLMAX
If we all work together, we can
accomplish anything.
(to Gwillumbeary)
Right, buddy?
GWILLUMBEARY
Absolutely, my friend.
MillMax passes out crayons. Joshua immediately starts
coloring.
INT. COUNCIL HEADQUARTERS
Vera holds an extremely large ladder while Sage teeters on
the top rung. Sage is coloring a picture of Vera.
VERA
(calling out)
And why are we doing this?
SAGE
We're doing this because we are our
children's teachers my dear Vera.
Sage drops her crayons. Vera loses her grip on the ladder.
It topples. Sage falls, making the long but rapid descent
onto Vera. PLOP.
SAGE (CONT'D)
(dazed)
Look at the pretty colors.
VERA
(stunned)
Ah.. Queen Sage?
SAGE
Yes, my friend?
VERA
I can't feel my leaves.
SAGE
Next lesson, safety first. Ouch.

8. 7
INT. MORTON'S LAIR
Morton has his own monitors focused on the events on Earth
and at the HQ.
MORTON
(sinister laugh)
Ha. Ha. Ha. I couldn't have
planned it more devilishly myself.
His MINIONS pop out of their bag.
MINIONS
(in unison)
I want a crayon. I want a crayon.
MORTON
Not so fast, my minions. I am
about to unveil my newest secret
weapon.
He pulls the tarpaulin off of the Melt-O-Matic, a giant
laser-like canon that looks like something straight out of
Forbidden Planet. A minion, HERSCHEL, jumps on board.
HERSCHEL
Hey, what does this do?
MORTON
Don't play with that, Herschel. I
am going to melt every crayon in
the galaxy. Then your Uncle Gwilly
and Auntie Sage will learn who is
in charge.
Another minion, RACHEL, tugs at Morton's cloak.
RACHEL
But I want to win a life-time
supply of self-esteem.
MORTON
Not now, Rachel. I am trying to be
evil.
Herschel pushes a button. The Melt-O-Matic lights up like
Jacob's ladder. Electric lights sizzle and crack.
HERSCHEL
It's alive!
The Melt-O-Matic goes crazy, zapping everything.
RACHEL
Look at the pretty colors. I wish
Auntie Vera were here to see this.

9. 8
EXT. SCHOOL PLAY YARD
The coloring book is now safely flat on the ground. All of
the children are working together, coloring the book.
Joshua's crayon melts.
JOSHUA
Would somebody please pass me some
more purple?
Suzy is coloring Sage's lips. Her crayons melt.
SUZY
I need more red.
A mountain of crayons becomes liquefied.
CHILDREN
Mr. Gwillumbeary!
Gwillumbeary holds up industrial rollers and cans of house
paint.
GWILLUMBEARY
Don't worry, kids. Where there's a
gwill, there's a way.
INT. MORTON'S LAIR
One by one, the laser zaps up wax figures of Michelangelo,
Picasso and Van Gogh.
HERSCHEL
Tubular.
MORTON
That's it. I don't want you
playing with Sharkuna anymore.
INT. COUNCIL HEADQUARTERS
Sage's and Vera's coloring book is now a complete mess of
wild colors. The ladies are wearing wax-stained smocks.
VERA
You look good in purple.
SAGE
That's not purple.
The two sing a duet, "My Way's the Way" - a point
counterpoint arguing whose color is the best color - while
engaging in a wax-throwing fight.
The famous artists enter.

10. 9
VAN GOGH
Have you ever seen anything like
this?
MICHELANGELO
My dears, how can we teach children
if we cannot teach ourselves?
PICASSO
If we work together, we can create
the perfect work of art.
Sage and Vera embrace.
SAGE
I'm sorry.
VERA
I'm sorry.
MICHELANGELO
And I know the perfect canvas.
EXT. SCHOOL PLAY YARD
The children, wearing clean smocks, gather around the
coloring book which now resembles an oversized medieval
tapestry featuring Queen Sage's Castle. Gwillumbeary packs
up the paint brushes. MillMax sweeps the remnants of the
crayons.
JIMMY
You did it, Joshua.
JOSHUA
We all did it.
GWILLUMBEARY
That's right, children. You were a
team and worked together. Now
imagine all the wonderful things
you can accomplish.
MILLMAX
Especially with a life-time supply
of self-esteem.
JIMMY
I'd go to Gwill, but my bedtime is
7:30.

11. 10
INT. MORTON'S LAIR
The minions, on scaffolds, hold the coloring book to the
ceiling. The artists, lying on their backs, paint the
finishing touches of a Gwill version of the Sistine Chapel
with Octowilly as the Lord and Gwillumbeary as Adam. Sage
and Vera observe.
SAGE
Perfect colors. Picasso is right.
One does work better when one works
together.
VERA
Even if you sometimes have to call
in professionals like we did.
Morton sulks. He kicks the Melt-O-Matic.
SAGE
I can't help it, but I think I've
seen this image somewhere before.
The Melt-O-Matic melts.
VERA
Maybe a little more green, but I
still love it.
The minions drop the coloring book. The artists melt as
they and the coloring book fall on Morton.
MINIONS
Oops!
Sage helps Morton stand.
SAGE
Don't worry, Morton my dear. It
could have been worse.
MORTON
(woozy)
How's that, your majesty? They
were melted wax figures.
SAGE
They could have been made of
marble.
Morton faints.
FADE OUT.
