Lesie, here is the more flushed out story. We agreed that you are a master of thumbnails and would work up thumbs for Krista and I to clean up.
Let us knoe your schedule for working on this so we csn plan accordingly.
Jr Giants - Coach the Coach script
It opens with Furball crawling out of his home under 3rd base and sneaking along the ground until he comes to a box. The box contains coaches childhood baseball junk and he quickly Hops inside. He pops up from the box wearing a sweater and holding the kid coach photograph. Coach begins to speak to the whole gang about the photograph and his box of giants memories.
Once coach is done explaining ths box, he helps Furball remove Woollen sweater and he gets charged with static electricity. Furball is puffed up and spiky and when he goes to hand the photo back to coach, that's when the magic electricity /flash /fireworks start to happen. Coach is transformed back into a child. I think this should be shot in a fun way where it's kind of like The Incredible Hulk where there's a extreme close ups of body parts enlarging in size until the big reveal of coach as a kid. And maybe another funny thing is he still has his goatee until the very end of the transformation and it poofs of his face.
kid coach freaks out a little bit as there has been some wild change. The other kids come over to see what's going on and Furball explains in speedy monster Babbel that's that is coach. The gang thinks this is fun and wants to play baseball but Coach isn't a confident and isn't sure that he will be any good. Mikey asks if he knows the game at all and Coach responds that he does because he's read a lot of books about baseball and mentions one of his favorite baseball old timey heroes.
The gang convinces him that he will do fine since he knows the gist of the game and take him to the outfield where they try to form his frown into a smile and stick his glove in the air. Marco gives him a quick speech about confidence.
Luissa is batting and cracks a pop fly which goes right into Kid's glove. Kid is celebrating that he was able to catch the ball and forgets that he still needs to make the play at first base. The other kids in the infield are screaming for him to throw the ball in, he tries to throw it all the way to first instead of relaying it to 2nd and the throw comes up way too short, ruining the play. Louisa explains to him about teamwork.
One of the other kids calls for snack time at home plate. Kid coach is delayed in the outfield by furball who is trying to get him to touch the picture again in order to change him back. Kid coach wants nothing to do with him and calls him a Bad Kitty. By the time kid makes it to the snack area all the snacks are gone. He loses temper because he was so hungry ands knocks over the empty tray, napkins flying everywhere. One of the kids explains to Coach about teams don't solve their problem with violence. Mikey comes out with a second tray of snacks everything is OK.
Kid rushes over enthusiasticly but is disappointed to find that they are orange slices he asks if they can have cookies or eat junk from the vending machine instead but Marco explains how oranges are one of the best and healthiest foods they can have for performing at their peak during baseball. Kid is convinced to try the orange slices but looks terrified. He turns his back to the group and motions as if he is eating it. The gang waits in anticipation, until he finally turned around and reveals his orange slice smile. The gang has a great laugh.
Kid tells them that's he appreciates their integrity for staying positive and a being a good team because he read that this is essential for any winning baseball team. The gang responds that they couldn't have done it without their coach's leadership.
It's time to go and they all head of the field. Kid Coach lags a little with furball and rubs his head mentioning to himself that "this coach sounds like a great guy." The rubbing has caused some static electricity with furball and Kid gets some magic in the process returning him back to you adult coach as he is walking out of frame.
Adult coach rejoins the group as they are walking off field in the distance and says something about getting old and not knowing where the time goes.
