Scratch Movie: Quest for Bugs

snoopythe3

Guys, i remember being accepted for voice actor but i wasnt added to the staff

TheBaton

I was thinking about a plot twist, where Kaj and Scratch Cat used to code and be friends, but when Scratch Cat became successful, Kaj got jealous and began to compete with him. Unfortunately, these projects turned out to be awful without Scratch Cat's insight, and when he tried to dismantle and bug Scratch Cat's project, Scratch Cat was forced to report and banish him to the Banlands. Is this a good idea?

Anyways, I fixed the last script stub and added on:

(They walk to the hospital, and we cut to Pico, Tera, and Nano.)
(The door they were knocking on creaks open.)
PICO: Anybody home?
TERA: They’ve probably already evacuated. Let’s just leave.
PICO: Wait, I hear something!
(Pot clatter echoes through the home. Somebody is clearly scared. They enter the kitchen, and someone is holding a pan in front of their face while shaking.)
PICO: We’re sorry to scare you sir!
TERA: I… apologize for coming in here too.
FARMER: (scared) Who… Who are you!?
TERA: My name’s Tera, and that’s Pico. Our friend is hurt. Can you help him?
(The farmer looks at them, and stands up.)
FARMER: ‘Fraid not, kids. I haven’t anything y’all would be looking for. All I’ve got is a “go to”, whatever that means.
PICO: Well, there has to be something else we could use, right?
FARMER: Nothin’. The storm swept away my variables too. Then them locusts and bilgy bugs came and ate up the rest.
TERA: Well, is there at least a hospital nearby?
FARMER: If anybody needs anything “medeecrawl” ‘round here, we just tough it out.
(Sand subtly flows out the windows. What does this mean? A loud thud, like a landing, is heard outside.)
FARMER: Oh no. The flying fellow out ‘ere ‘s come back to get me!
PICO: What do you mean?
FARMER: Hide!
(They hide.)
PICO: What’s going on?
FARMER: When the storm hit, I saw this shadow in the cloud. It was this floatin’ cat. He must’ve heard us!
(The door bursts open, and our villain, Kaj, walks in. The group goes silent. Eventually, Kaj enters the kitchen.)
PICO: (instantly cowering) Don’t hurt me!
TERA: (unafraid) Who are you?
KAJ: That’s not yours to know. Not yet.
TERA: I said, who are you!
(Kaj ignores her, and stands up tall. The farmer sneaks behind him with his pan)
KAJ: You’ve seen the storm. Probably lived it. And it was I who sent it!
PICO: (realizing) So you did this. You almost killed our friend! You’re a monster!
KAJ: It really seems so, doesn’t it. But alas, it is you who are the monsters.
TERA: How can you say that after you endangered millions?! You’ll pay for this, mark my words.
FARMER: With a pan-to-the head!
(Kaj realizes and picks up the nearby “go to ()” block. He blocks the hit, which causes the Farmer to get teleported to a random position. Kaj switches the input from “random” to “About Town Hospital”.)
KAJ: It looks like you’re friend needs some help. We’ll meet again, I promise.
(Kaj grins and smacks them all with the block, sending them to the front doors of the hospital. We cut to Scratch Cat and Giga right at the entrance of the hospital, but suddenly, Pico, Tera, and Nano pop up out of nowhere.)
SCRATCH CAT: Guys!? Where did you come from?
TERA: Someone… came after us. He sent us back here!
GIGA: Who?
SCRATCH CAT: Kaj.

I KNOW I’M A BIT LATE ON THIS, but would the hospital scene be allowed without an NFE? I mean, even if we make it very cartoonish, it could get this NFE’d (and we wouldn’t show up on the front page OR search results)

I don't understand your concern. What is an NFE? I just wanted to get this figured out.

It stands for Not For Everyone (i think). It hides the project from the front page, explore page, and search results.

Yes, but then why? I thought I fixed the bad parts. There's nothing inappropriate about it. There wouldn't be any blood. Or like, straight up open heart surgery. It would consist of blocks like “clear graphic effects” or something to that affect.

We just have to be really careful. When we animate this, be sure to show that the characters are not HURT, and refrain from saying “blood,” “injured,” or “killed”.

I think somebody says ‘killed’ one time. I guess we have to say ‘unalived’.
No, but really, we'll just have to replace it with with something like “endangered their life” or something I don't know.

“Hurt”.

I was thinking that there should be a library scene where the Scratch team go to search through all the files available in the large Scratch catalogue to find out how to defeat Kaj or something like that. Just an idea

In the ending of the Script, how does Scratch Cat know that it is Kaj with little information?

kaj reveals his idendity which is secret all this time?

It was a test. I was going to add onto it where Scratch Cat learned some of the basics from Kaj. Kaj was his unofficial “teacher”. Eventually, Scratch Cat became better than he was at Scratching and programming. This sent Kaj into a fit of jealousy and aggression, but Scratch Cat was getting more views, favorites, and loves than ever. Kaj attempted to outdo Scratch Cat but failed every time. Then Kaj tries to congest and bug Scratch Cat's project, which forces Scratch Cat to report and ban his friend. Sadly, this turned Kaj into the evil crusader we know today.

Ehhhh… I know I'm not a director, but I don't know if this is a good addition. You should've read the script summary. I feel like you should also refer to the actual script and adapt the character's personalities. There are also lots of grammatical and capitalization errors that need fixing. It does grab the overall idea of what's to come, but I feel like it should be rewritten.

Edit: I also don't know if you were hired or not, but I'll go back and check.
Edit 2: So you are hired as an animator, and while additions and edits by all of the cast are welcome, I think you should re-apply to get another role in the movie.
