So here's v1 of the script I came up with for my proposed lego animation.
Lego Animation Script. Republic of Dirto Poro . EP1
Opening:
Play a bunch of folk spanish music while showing panning shots of Banania City
(*Capitol of Banania Republic.).
Narrarator (Voice of Leader)-Dirto Poro was always a little troublemaker, when we were first founded as a little, insignificant spanish colony, we didn't like it very much and had our first rebellion-minutes after the Spanish hit the shores. There weren't really any natives or anything, just the Spanish colonists wanted independance and THAT was the world's first civil war (Or so our history books say) Right from the start we were a glorious, prosperous civilization dedicated to communism, which we invented.(Or so our history books say). Throughout the times many different glorious leaders succeded each other through nonviolent uprisings (Or so our history books say), In fact we had a new one every few months. We have a democracy here, whichever political party has the most supporters usually wins out in the street battles- I MEAN ELECTIONS. And the winning team gets to lay down the law with an iron fist and purge everyone who supported the other party... Err... I never said that.
*cut to his private office, it's an interview with a camera crew.
Leader:Now although the previous "Elections" were nonviolent the modern ones are a little more grizzly. Oh the young ones really have that ol' rebel howl, they're so politically enlightened they really have no discipline these days, no will to blindly follow my regime. They're simply undisciplined.
*machine gun noise.
L:Personally I blame MTV.
Anyway that's how I got into office and I am enjoying every minute of it. I viscously ripped it from the cold dead hands of the previous oppressor- I mean glorious leader... Because he... Cheated on his wife, yes, cheated... I stand for women's rights.
L: I even heard about a "Surprise Election" coming up. Better start "campaighning". I even called on my friends in the UN to keep things "civilized".
Reporter: Aren't you just trying to cover your ass from a possible coup?
L:OUTRAGEOUS!!!!... Err... NO...no it's an election... Young ones get riled up, I want to prevent school shootings... Yes school shootings...mm-yes
*takes note on paper
R:(reading paper) what's this "Ideas for operation Reighn of Terr-"
L:(Interrups loudly snatching paper away.)-ACE, yes terrace apartments, with schools built right in. Yes... Very top secret... Plans...
Hey guess what let's take a tour.
R: but we hadn't exactly-
L:don't worry we'll explain our education policy during the tour.
*Scene in street
L:As you can see, my people love me very much because we have a very comprehensive modernization program in place...
*Tractor pulling wagon of people rides by.
R: that doesn't seem very modern...
*Bunch of revolutionaries show up
L: oh and this is my opponents
Revolutionary Leader: errm... HI.
Revolutionary 1:Let's just cap him
RL:not in front of the camera!
Cameraman:Wait, it's lunch, take 5 guys!
Camera crew and reporter walk away.
L:Err how's it going guys?
RL:Presidente, You are under arrest by the Dirto Poro Republic's citizens for Illegitimate assumption of power, Abuse of power, Corruption, Violating all of the UN human rights amendments, being an emberrasment to the Dirto Poro people, Denying appeals, homocide, genocide, pesticide, hunting without a liascence, driving without a liacense, making me read this long-ass list, violating the very foundation of communism as we know it and furthermore-
L:(Interrupting): LOOK! IT'S CARL MARX!
All 3 revolutionaries: WHERE?
*Leader runs away to bunker in a long scene
Bunker scene
Having arrived and hyped on adrenaline leader runs circles helplessly as his general tries to figure out what just happened.
L: OHSHIT OHSHIT
General: OH WHAT OH WHAT?
L: THEY'RE COMING THEY'RE COMING
G: THE WHO THE WHO
L:THE REBELS YOU MORON!
G: We're in a military bunker, with concrete walls that flawlessly echo sounds, you don't have to shout.
L:Sorry, I'm a little frightened... I mean I'm being chased by professional asassins here
*Cut to scene with 3 revolutionaries at corner of street, Revolutionary Leader is banging head on wall crying.
Revolutionary 2:We can just launch the rebellion and see what we can do.
RL:(SOBS) ok...
Scene where revolution takes place, rampant violence and such. Prison is liberated, roadblocks set up. Looting.
*Cut back to bunker
G: we can just launch a counter attack and see what we can do.
L:(SOBS) ok...
*Scene where counterattack is launched, Military vehicles rumble across bridges, army deploys, all-out street battles insue.
*Cut back to bunker
G:(On phone)Wait, where is the UN?
*Scene where UN deploys, tank rumble down road towards damaged city, hummer drops off marines at corner where tank stops, helicopter flies overhead and UN troops repel down rope to same location
*Zoom out, heat of battle is insuing right in front of them, rebels on one side, troops on other
UN soldier on megaphone: Ok guys, play nice now. Please stop we can settle this... Please?
(Being ignored, fight drags on)
*Cut to camera crew going back to corner where fighting is taking place
Reporter:Holy crap are you getting this?
Camera man picks up camera and starts rolling
UN(Megaphone): Can you please stop pretty please with a cherry on top with 2 eggs and a slice of bacon?
Soldiers and rebels notice camera
Soldier:yeah, ok, since you say so we will cease hostilities, the US public does not need to get outraged, Americans don't need to get involved.
Rebel: Yeah-Yeah, we're best of friends now see?
*Shake hands
*Cut to exit of bunker, Leader pokes head out of hatch
L:Am I safe now? Woohoo I made it!
THE END.
