AXOLOTOL - Deleted Rap Scene Of The Week

During the second rap, one of the writers requested Owen and Evan sneak around the school and set each student alight. When this was shown during the test screening, it upset the test audience and thus the sequences featuring the students running around screaming whilst Evan and Owen watch and snicker in evil glee were pulled entirely from production. They decided not to film the sequences, because of major health and safety issues and the fact that the actors would be burnt and sent to hospital if they had such a dangerous scene be filmed for the episode.

If You Give A Cat Some Crayons

If you give a cat some crayons,
Then he'll want to draw his inventions and then
One thing will lead to another
And you'll never know what's next

Let's go to unexpected places
That'll leave a smile on your faces
With Moose, Pig, Mouse and Dog
So come on, come along!

If you give a cat some crayons,
You'll never know what you get
If you give a cat some crayons,
What do you think will happen next?

When The Pets Factor Comes On You Want To Watch This Video....

I was thinking about spoofing this by turning this into a banned CBBC promo for The Pets Factor that wasn't aired due to depictions of being lesbian and supporting bestiality rights that weren't for kids and the show's target audience that featured Cat and Cheryl talking about how racist it is to tell that more people own a dog than any other pet lover in the UK, and how 'The Pets Factor' should be renamed 'The Dogs Factor' instead. I wouldn't imagine CBBC featuring bestiality in their promos, and I don't even want to think about it!

I.B.F.Fs: Round & Round The Garden

The I.B.F.Fs and I re-enact the classic children's rhyme, 'Round & Round The Garden', which as I've heard before thinking up this new story was featured on an episode of CBeebies' 'The Baby Club'.

First, I do the rhyme with each of my friends, and encourage Templeton to get involved when he complains that the rhyme is for babies. Then we go outside and practice the rhyme, skipping around and then leaping on top of one another, tickling each other and laughing during the final verse of the rhyme.

Mildred, Luella & The Billboard

Cackles' Academy is the biggest school for witches ever. Mildred loved to take Luella there during filming of The Worst Witch, and today was a very special day. It was the premiere of the 4th season of The Worst Witch and viewers were convinced that now that Mildred's original actress, Bella Ramsey, left the show, it, was, not, DEAD!

My Diary - 27th January-2nd February

27th January

Remember the 'Carnival Of The Animals' segment in Fantasia 2000? Today I got a notebook with flamingos on it.

28th January

Rainbow-coloured cupcakes go down a treat in Wish World. If your mouth gets coloured, a nice glass of cool milk washes it down.

29th January

In the village of the Trolls, Poppy bakes her pies with strawberries, creamy marshmallows and raspberries.

30th January

Fig keeps and pilots a hot air balloon in the shape of a red leaf. He loves to fly around Tumble Leaf in it.

31st January

Today I went to Libby's house and met a new friend - Marie. But is she a German Shepard in disguise?

1st February

Zucchini and Rutabega use a beautiful pink bubble bath smelling of cherries whenever it's bathtime for their chicks.

2nd February

Imagine a Transformers book much like Guess How Much I Love You. The cubs and Autobots express their love in a story aimed for parents and children.

Dragon Spice

Inspired by a story idea I thought up when I was doing a BBC Live Lesson based on 500 Words 2018.

Using Spanish words and phrases, 'Dragon Spice' follows the tale of Alejandro, a dragon cook who serves up spicy food to make the dragons who visit and eat out there breath fire in his restaurant in the town of Likelihood. He's been aiming to get the hugest bottle of chili sauce for his latest recipe, but the head of the rival restaurant, Snap, wants it for his own recipe. Alejandro must been Snap in a race against time to retrieve the chili sauce and save his business.

Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron: Tender Moments

Aimed at parents and their children, this book is a sort of dialogue-read aloud book that families can share together to increase their strong bond and help them spend more time together. With the help of the relationship between Furaha and Jetfire and the other cubs and their Autobot friends, parents can share the words of dialogue featured in the book to engage in conversations with their children and show how much they love them - because the power of love, and the love of a family, really is the right of all sentient beings.

Sybil & Friends Song Idea - What Makes You Happy

'What Makes You Happy' is a song set to the tune of Lala Njava's cover of 'Sweet Lullaby' and features in 'Sybil & Friends' when I start working on Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron on the 4th of March. When I start to plan, Furaha watches the Transformers Cybertron DVD and remarks; "You've got an Acoustic Africa CD in your pouch, Sybil. I'm so happy, I want to burst into song." "And I'm so happy I don't have to include Bud, Coby and Lori in my story either!" I laugh.

This leads into a fantasy/song sequence animated by GONZO in Japan and Red Kite Animation, mixing animation and Japanese anime backgrounds with traditionally animated characters. This type of hybrid animation would be included when I tell Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron as I begin to work on my story. The sequence is quite a soothing and restful one, with Furaha approaching Jetfire as he is taking a shower in the Autobot base's shower room. As Furaha intently gazes into Jetfire's visor, she joins him under the shower, hugging his leg, and then yawns, growing extremely tired. Gently, the second-in-command takes the sleepy cub in his arms and cradles her under the shower water. During the instrumental, we see the other Autobots and their cub friends spending time in the shower the same way - Hot Shot tickles, noogies and hugs Nakona, gently splashing him with water, Scattershot cuddles Upendi in a soothing manner, and Leobreaker (in beast mode although Overhaul appears when I tell Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron) is washed by Haraka. Even Snarl and Override are in the shower, with Override hugging a sleepy Lanka.

We then fade back to Jetfire, who is drying himself with a giant, fluffy towel. He still has Furaha in his arms, and gently wraps her in the softness of his towel. Later on, we see all the Autobots and their cub friends snuggling into bed, the final image being Jetfire and Furaha in bed together, Furaha snuggled by Jetfire's side, revealing the softest, most comforting friendship that'll ever be read about.

Me, You, And...Little Friends: Dragon Tunes

Remember those Dragon Tunes from the original Dragon Tales? What if they were brought back for a new generation? I've thought up Little Friends' first poem book, Dragon Tunes, which invites you to explore more of Dragon Land, including those not seen in the show.

I've yet to adapt Adventures In Dragon Land, Yes We Can, We Can Work It Out and It's Cool To Be Me into Little Friends stories, because the DVDs are sold on other market websites. The stories are fun as always too: in 'Zak Takes A Dive' Jetfire finds a bigger pool for him, Giganto and Humongo to play in near where the dragons are swimming in, while in 'A Tall Tale', Minty brings Rarity the unicorn to Dragon Land because, well, a unicorn features in the episode, and in 'The Greatest Show In Dragon Land', Minty desperately wants to go on an adventure, so she goes to Dragon Land to get her chance and head off to Wonderworld.

Sybil & Friends 30/1/20 Idea - Revenge On Adult Swim

In 'Sybil & Friends', after Fig and I think up some new ideas based on the Tumble Leaf episodes 'The Wheel Thing' and 'Twine Line', accompanied by new imaginative designs from Bix Pix, the company behind Tumble Leaf, Fig is curious to know why I'm into Adult Swim. Instantly, my friends get angry, with Resus stating that the whole Adult Swim thing is behind us, but I reassure my friends that Adult Swim is nothing more than a tale of betrayal and darkness, the most terrifying thing ever seen on US television. I tell them that a few years ago, before Moltar and Zorak died and left Space Ghost to fend for himself and save his friends from Cartoon Network from Adult Swim, it was fine from 2001 to 2003, and then it went completely dark, kicking Space Ghost off the throne. It leads to a segment shot on location in Grant Park Coffeehouse in Atlanta, with animation for Space Ghost, Zorak and Moltar done by Williams Street themselves in the style of the original Space Ghost Coast To Coast series and coffee break conversations. Taking place a few years back, the skit sees Space Ghost discussing with his two co-workers about how Adult Swim had ruined his life and his pride of place as king, and after a riotous argument that leaves Space Ghost in tears, Zorak reassures him that he won't have to fight off Adult Swim alone, and that he and Moltar have got his back. At once, Space Ghost cheers up and cries out that he'll visit Cartoon Network whenever he'll please, but as long as the two are with him, he'll rally who he loves and fight off Adult Swim once and for all! Different voice actors had to play Moltar and Zorak since their original voiceover actor, C. Martin Croker, died in 2016.

As the sequence ends, everyone agrees that they all don't like Adult Swim either, and Cleo remarks that if Scream Street aired on Adult Swim over in the USA, the show would be redubbed to include alcohol and drug references, including swearing. I refuse on that idea, and think CBBC would prefer Scream Street just the way it is. Furaha then suggests to me that, using my imagination, I could let her go to Atlanta using her flight power and blow up Williams' Street to seek revenge. What follows is another sequence shot on location in Atlanta, this time with Furaha flying over Williams' Street before swearing revenge, throwing a hand grenade into the building. She then lands by Adult Swim's 10th anniversary mural and says in a deep, demonic male voice; "Destruction." We then zoom out to reveal Furaha walking away from the building in slow-motion, as Williams' Street explodes behind her. Taramba's 'Udu Tu Yutu' plays in the background. We then see all the staff of Williams' Street in the aftermath of the explosion, covered in bruises lying in the destruction of the building.

It then fades into the Forge, where we see Tom clapping sarcastically over seeing the footage on one of the screens. All of this is animated in the same CGi used for Toonami's host segments. Sara, his holographic assistant, asks if he feels homesick, and Tom replies that he is missing Cartoon Network's Toonami a lot, and because of Adult Swim, he's been suffering sleep paralysis in the daytime, but luckily he can confront it by yelling "Boo!" at it. Sara laughs it off, but Tom feels he still misses his friends from the real Toonami, when he was king of the Cartoon Network one. Now he's become a new king of a new Toonami, and it isn't the same without any of his kid-friendly anime friends. Sara suggests that he might watch clips of the "Toonami that once was" to pass the time whilst he waits for the Saturday coming. Tom thinks it's a good idea, and gets to work on watching clips from CN's Toonami, which delights both him and Sara.

Before all that and more, during bedtime, I become scared of the dark so Furaha sings the cat's song from 'The Magic Faraway Tree' to put me to sleep. She sings:
"Once my whiskers grew so long, I had to have a shave
The barber said it's not the way for whiskers to behave
If you're not careful my dear cat, they'll grow into a beard
And then a billy goat you'll be, or something very weird

Once my tail became so short, it hadn't got a wag
The baker said-"

And then Furaha instantly falls asleep, leaving me to snuggle down with my friends.

Sybil & Friends

I've decided that, once my interesting year avoiding screaming kids and barking dogs and whatnot and trying to cash in on my success of Festive Pyjamas, I would make a film about my adventures and imagination in the early stages of adulthood, which can't stop me from hanging with my friends and doing the things I like and want to do. The film mixes different animation styles with live-action, music, storytelling, imagination, familiar characters and valuable lessons about transition and being unstoppable against a storyteller's mind.
