Reinventing The 'Hood

 

I just had an idea: if I were to live in Australia, I'd not only love Strange Hill High, Clangers, Scream Street and Bluey, but also Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, which has the same format as Scream Street, except it has fairy tale characters. So, I've decided to add Trafalgar, Jeremiah and Fury into Izzy's gang, making that number 14. The 'Hood will still have its fair share of reggae music, but it'll be set in an Aussie neighbourhood populated by characters from all five shows. It'll now have the same format as the I.B.F.Fs shorts, except it's located in a sunny Aussie neighbourhood, friendly and warm. So now, The 'Hood is the story of 14 charming kids and their struggles growing up in an unusual Aussie neighbourhood.

The 'Hood: Like Father Like Daughter & Our Views On Men

 

Like Father Like Daughter:

The gang are spending time with their dads today: Bluey and Bingo play pirates with Dad in the backyard, Cleo struggles to cope with her brainless yet protective father Niles, and Tiny tries to help Major in his workshop.

Our Views On Men:

The gang and their friends Chloe, Honey, Mackenzie, Muffin and Socks spend time at the water park on a hot day, where they talk about the habits of men like their dads, such as beer, sports games, smelly feet and, most disgusting of all, peeing in the shower. Mackenzie however sneaks into the park showers and sees something unexplainable happen...

Bluey/The 'Hood #1 [Morning]

 

Sand, Water & Steps:

The gang spend the day at the beach, and can't wait to go into the water. They take their own little or big steps towards the water, and then run away whenever the tide comes in. Finally, they enjoy the water splashing against their feet.

Swinging:

The gang enjoy playing on the swings, and try to discover a much better swing. They ask the Paladins to use Voltron to swing them back and forth, but when Voltron swings them, he flies high in the air!

Never Too Young To Have Fun:

With the gang spending time with their relatives, Izzy spends time at her Nanna's house. She wants to know if elderly relatives enjoy the things they enjoyed in their youth, so she contacts Bluey, Bingo and their Nanna through video chat on her phone to find out more.

Movies That Make Me Think Of Tom & Jerry: The Movie

 

I think Oliver & Company and Lilo & Stitch both remind me of Tom & Jerry: The Movie. Oliver & Company was released a few years before Tom & Jerry was released in theatres, and then a few years later, Lilo & Stitch was released to theatres - all three stories contain and orphan who befriends an animal who helps them along on their journey. See for yourself!

If I Wrote She-Ra...

 

I wouldn't write 1985 She-Ra because she is more mature. But if I wrote modern day She-Ra, I would include all the dialogue in Japanese, and I would include more mature elements such as blood, murder, violence, entrails flowing out of peoples' bodies and most hopefully, She-Ra and Catra making out. Oh and also, I would include She-Ra carrying a gun so she can murder people with one pull of the trigger. グレイスカルの名誉のために...私はシーラです! BOOM! *collapsing sound*.

Bluey/The 'Hood #2 [Evening]

 

Public Humiliation:

Izzy and Templeton are having a bad day at school: while Izzy gets gum stuck in her hair and is picked on by Peter and Benjamin, Templeton is too late to make it to the toilets and wees on the floor. The two learn about being humiliated in public, and when Tuffnut and Peter throw tantrums in the supermarket, their curiosity gets the best of them.

Back To The Beginning:

This episode explores a typical day from each of the gang's perspective. Once each perspective ends, the episode rewinds back to the beginning to focus on another member of the gang as they spend their day at school and at home - just like any other Aussie kid, each with his or her own different view on life.

Dads Can Be Anyone:

Dad, Mike, Alston, Niles, Major, Uncle Stripe and Lucky's dad head out into the neighbourhood for a guys' night out, while Mum, Aunt Trixie, Sue, Bella and Mother have a girls' night in. The trouble is, the men keep switching identities! It is then that they discover that being themselves can mean they can be the best dads ever.

When You Watch The Horrible Herd & This Music Plays In Your Head...

 

But Wait A Minute - What About Adam & Eve?

 

I never knew Adam & Eve were aimed for little kids! They tried in various ways to appeal Adam & Eve to kids, and I'll try too - but with animated nudity. Family Guy and The Simpsons tried to tell the story of Adam & Eve, sometimes through its main husband and wife characters like Homer and Marge, and Bobby McFerrin's The Garden retells the Adam & Eve story through acapella music. My script for I.B.F.Fs In Eden retells the creation story with me and my I.B.F.Fs, with Kipper being a puppy and Templeton being the first person on earth to wear clothes. It'll contain this phrase:

"But wait a minute - what about Adam & Eve?"

"FALSE! Adam & Eve weren't the main characters of the creation story, we were."

And a Me, You, And...short named 'Creation' will feature Kiburi and Ua as cubs, in a dramatic retelling of Adam & Eve's tale, with the two lions wandering a paradise that came to form the earth, created by Lord Mufasa and despised by a vicious serpent.

Yo Mama So Pretty & Talented!

 

She took ballet dancing lessons from Angelina Ballerina!

Yo Mama So Exotic!

 

She has dreams of when she used to live in the Garden Of Eden!

The 'Hood Special: Survival

 

The 'Hood: Survival

In this feature length special, Izzy tells the gang and their families a campfire story about how the Aborigines hid the first toys ever created in a cave in Hindigo Mountain so European people won't find them. The next day, Andy finds out. What will the gang discover from learning this legend?
